When sending the family off, Wang Zhuangzhi walked beside Yao'er and said something in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Yao'er nodded when he heard this and looked at his third uncle to indicate that he understood.

Wang Zhuangzhi touched his head, took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and secretly stuffed it to him with his sleeve, and made a gesture with his index finger on his mouth.

Tell him to keep it for himself and not tell his parents.

Wang Yaozu didn't want to take his third uncle's money, but his third uncle had already handed it over. If he argued again and gave it back, his parents would definitely find out. Looking at his third uncle's loving eyes, his heart warmed, and then he pursed his lips and held them tightly.

Silver.

Although there is no shortage of food and clothing at home, my mother takes good care of her money and rarely gives him pocket money. What her aunt and uncle give her will be taken away immediately. He is not close to his grandma and he doesn't care about asking for her money.

So he never carried any money with him in school.

His classmates all had pocket money, so when they went out to buy books together, he always felt out of place. It wasn't that he couldn't afford it, but that his mother was very strict about it. No matter what he bought, he had to get his approval before she finally bought it for him.

From clothes to books, from head to toe, everything is like this from childhood to adulthood.

He was particularly tired of this kind of life, and he became more and more rebellious. Especially when he saw the warm relationship between his third uncle and his third aunt and his younger brothers and sisters, he envied it from the bottom of his heart.

"Third brother, the sun is shining brightly. You should go back quickly." Wang Qinghe said.

Wang Zhuangzhi nodded, patted Wang Yaozu and said: "Yao'er, now you have found the door. From now on, you will treat it as your own home."

Yao'er's eyes turned red for a while, and he nodded and choked with sobs: "I understand, Third Uncle."

Wang Zhuangzhi didn't want to make him cry. Seeing this, he quickly smiled and said, "It's okay. Come back when you want."

Xu Meishuang also felt that her son Tai and her third child were getting along well, so she felt a little unhappy and shouted: "Yao'er, get on the carriage quickly."

"Third uncle and third aunt Qiu gave birth to a younger brother, goodbye."

Wang Yaozu wiped the tears from his eyes, reluctantly said goodbye to his third uncle and his family, and then got into the carriage with his parents.

After the family left, Wang Zhuangzhi looked at the leaving carriage, thinking about Yao'er eating together at the dinner table at noon, and he couldn't help but feel a little empty.

Qiu Sheng entered the yard, and Liu Zhihua turned around to go back to the house. Seeing that the head of the house was still staring at the carriage, she raised her hand and pushed him, "Why are you looking at it when everyone is gone?"

Wang Zhuangzhi shook his head helplessly and said: "Yao'er looks lively and cheerful on the surface, but I feel that she has something hidden in her heart and is very sensible. It makes me feel a little distressed to see her."

Liu Zhihua sighed when he heard this, and said angrily: "With a mother like that, it's not a bad thing if the baby doesn't grow crooked."

Wang Zhuangzhi choked and felt helpless when he thought about his second sister-in-law.

"Forget it, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. Let's go back."

As soon as a few people walked into the yard, they met Xiao Li coming out rubbing his eyes.

"Mom and Dad, why is Cousin Yao missing?"

Liu Zhihua stepped forward and smoothed his frizzy hair, and said casually: "Yaoer's parents took him back."

Xiao Li suddenly put down his hand, his big round eyes full of surprise, and then he felt disappointed. He finally found a friend who liked reading storybooks as much as he did, but when he woke up, he was already gone.

"Mom, when will Cousin Yao come back?"

Hearing Xiao Li's reluctance, Liu Zhihua comforted her and said, "I will come when I have time in the future."

Xiao Li nodded lowly, "Yeah."

……

This end,

Jiaojiao was still asleep, and Erya took a long nap. After waking up, she was busy feeding the fish. If Xiaoli hadn't said that cousin Yao was gone, she wouldn't have noticed.

Compared to Xiaoli's loss, Erya didn't take it to heart at all.

After all, he is just a cousin whom he has just met. In Erya's eyes, he is just a distant relative. He is neither familiar nor close, so naturally he has no feelings for her.

"By the way, I forgot to tell dad about the bamboo poles."

Thinking of this, Erya ran to tell her father. After hearing this, Wang Zhuangzhi happily agreed and went directly to the back mountain to dig some strong bamboos.

It took more than an hour to polish it, and while it was still early, I helped do some rough work in the backyard.

When Jiaojiao woke up, the sun had set. She climbed up from the bed sleepily. The room was empty and a little dark. Her big black eyes were a little vacant, and she felt an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart.

"Meow meow." Jiaojiao called out softly.

Bai Miaomiao was holding roasted corn in the yard, and when he heard Jiaojiao calling him, he pushed open the door and ran in.

It held half of the corn in its paws and asked with a bulging mouth: "Jiaojiao, are you awake? Are you hungry?"

Jiaojiao pouted and shook her head. Smelling the aroma of roasted corn in Miaomiao's hand, she got up from the couch and got down.

"Meow meow, where did you get the corn?"

Bai Miaomiao replied: "Your sister and the others are roasting in the backyard and they are cuffing them. Do you want Jiaojiao to eat?"

Jiaojiao thought for a moment and nodded, then bent down to pick up Miaomiao and walked straight out the door.

As soon as I went out, there was a fresh fragrance in the air outside, a bit like the smell of fresh mushrooms.

Jiaojiao raised the corners of her mouth and went straight to the backyard.

What the Wang family ate tonight was different from usual. They made a simple stove to bake whatever they wanted.

In the backyard, there was a stove surrounded by an iron sheet. The firewood was burning brightly inside, and there were bamboo poles on top, and various ingredients were placed in the bamboo poles.

Some are steamed directly, while others are brushed with oil and make a sizzling sound.

There is a table and chairs next to it, and everyone in the family is there except Jiaojiao.

The sky gradually darkened, and there were baked foods on the table. Everyone else was busy, while Erya and Xiao Li were holding big corn cobs and gnawing.

Jiaojiao walked in, and Xiaoli saw it first with sharp eyes, "Sister! You're awake."

Seeing how lively the place was, Jiaojiao smiled with a smile on her white and Nuo face. She nodded and said in response to her brother: "Yeah."

Liu Zhihua was marinating pork belly. When she saw her sweetheart, she hurriedly smiled and said, "My dear, find a stool and sit in the back and wait. The fresh mushrooms my mother grilled will be ready soon."

Wang Zhuangzhi, who was sweating on the side, also smiled and said: "Dad will stew a bowl of sweet water custard for Jiaojiao, and you can eat it after a while."

Jiaojiao nodded obediently and replied in a waxy voice: "Okay."

Erya held the corn cob in her mouth, inserted the half of the corn next to it with chopsticks, walked forward and handed it to her sister, gnawed on the corn and said, "My dear, try this roasted corn. It tastes better than boiled corn."

."

Jiaojiao had never eaten corn like this before, so she took it curiously and took a bite.

Well, the outer skin is a little hard, but it’s quite delicious when chewed.

"Jiaojiao, there is chrysanthemum water here." Qiu Sheng scooped a bowl of the warm chrysanthemum water.

Chrysanthemum has the effect of reducing internal heat and improving eyesight. Jiaojiao mentioned it to her eldest brother yesterday, but she didn’t expect that he would cook it today.
