Liu Zhihua was amused and touched her daughter's hair lovingly, "My sweet baby is so sensible."

Liu Zhihua looked at her son who kept coughing. His thin and frail body could be blown away by a gust of wind. She waved her hand and said, "Okay, mom, don't talk about your father. Qiu Sheng quickly brings her sister into the house, and mom will stew the chicken legs for you."

."

Qiu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a touch of gentleness on his face. My mother has always been a sharp-tongued person.

Qiu Sheng carried his little sister into the house. Liu Zhihua’s eyes fell on the two little carrot heads in the yard, and she put her hands on her hips and asked, "Why are you swinging around with two chickens?"

"Mom, I'm helping dad." Erya touched her braid, fearing that her mother would snatch her chicken legs, so she suddenly ran to the kitchen with the chicken and said, "Dad!"

Seeing his sister running away, Xiao Li tried to run away with the chicken, but his mother held him back.

His little face was covered with mud, and he wiped his nose with his sleeve. He handed the chicken to his mother in a daze and said, "Mom, I want to eat chicken legs."

Liu Zhihua looked at her son's dirty sleeves, nodded his head angrily, and asked loudly: "You know how to eat every day, but who asked you to wipe your nose on your clothes? Where are the linen strips I prepared for you?"

/p>

Xiao Li sniffed, fumbled in his breast pocket, pulled out two linen strips, frowned and said, "Mom, this will hurt my nose."

Liu Zhihua folded the linen strips and said angrily: "You stinky boy, what's the point of wiping your nose? My parents' clothes are all made of linen strips. Why don't my parents complain about pain?"

As she spoke, Liu Zhihua pinched his nose with a linen strip and wiped it. Xiao Li raised his head and shouted, "It hurts..."

Liu Zhihua let go of his hand and straightened his clothes: "It doesn't hurt and it won't last forever. Next time you have runny nose, just wipe it off yourself. Did you hear me?"

Xiao Li touched the burning root of his nose and muttered, "I know."

After saying that, while his mother wasn't paying attention, he took the chicken and ran to the kitchen.

"Smelly boy."

Liu Zhihua laughed and cursed, took a wooden basin in the yard, scooped out a ladle of water, rubbed the linen strips stained with snot, and dried them on the door panel.

Suddenly, Aunt Liu's voice came from the door, "Zhihua, are you at home?"

Liu Zhihua looked back and saw Aunt Liu and her grandson holding a big pumpkin in their hands.

"Hey, you guys can just come. What do you need to bring?"

Liu Zhihua ran to the door. She was so big and round that she effortlessly took the pumpkins from their hands. Seeing Mrs. Liu’s grandson’s eyes lit up, she said with a smile: “Wei Qing, aunt, I haven’t seen you for a long time.

He is taller and looks handsome again."

"Auntie, thank you." Liu Weiqing's ears were slightly red and she was a little embarrassed.

He is the same age as Qiu Sheng and is also studying in the town. He is taller than Qiu Sheng, has clear eyebrows, fair skin, and a very handsome appearance.

"What a coincidence, Auntie will stew the chicken in a while, so you all can save the meat for today."

"Auntie, we had dinner at home, and then we went back after saying a few words." Liu Weiqing hurriedly replied.

"After eating, you can try my aunt's cooking. Come inside quickly."

Liu Zhihua smiled and welcomed the person into the house.

In the early years, the old scholar Liu was chased by a wild boar. Wang Zhuangzhi shot the wild boar to death with an arrow. The old scholar Liu was grateful. He was a scholar and did not believe what the villagers said about bad luck. For so many years, the two families had been together.

Move around.

A group of people walked into the big house. Qiu Sheng, who was playing with clay figurines with his little sister, was very happy to see his friend. The next second, he thought of something and nervously stepped forward and pulled Liu Weiqing out, and explained casually: "Mom,

Let me have a few words with Wei Qing."

Although Liu Weiqing was confused, he nodded cooperatively and followed the others out.

Watching the two of them hurried out, Liu Zhihua put the pumpkin in her arms on the ground and hurriedly shouted to the door: "Qiu Sheng, if you have something to say, we can't talk about it all at once. Wei Qing didn't even drink when he came in. What are you in a hurry for?"

"It's okay for these two to have a small relationship. Wei Qing is here to follow Qiusheng, so let them be."

After Aunt Liu finished speaking, she walked forward with a smile and took Jiaojiao's little hand. She looked at the little Jiaojiao doll, which was white and waxy and looked like a bun. She praised in a rare way: "Your Baojiao is really good at growing up. She is as tall as a little Jiaojiao."

She is like a fairy, more beautiful than the girls from rich families."

Jiaojiao understood, and while playing with the clay figurines, she replied obediently: "Auntie, she's pretty too."

At such an old age, this was the first time for Mrs. Liu to be praised by someone. She was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear. She smiled and said: "Oh~ Jiaojiao has such a sweet mouth. I can't blame Zhihua for her eyeballs. If I were like this

You are such a sweetheart, and I care about you too."

As she spoke, Aunt Liu took out a handful of dried peanuts from her pocket and stuffed them into Jiaojiao's soft hands, coaxing softly: "These are the peanuts fried by Auntie. Let us try them, Jiaojiao."

Jiaojiao had never eaten human peanuts. Looking at the round peanuts in her palm, she smiled sweetly and said softly: "Thank you, ma'am."

"No thanks, no thank you, auntie, I really care about Xiao Baojiao." Aunt Liu smiled from ear to ear. With such joy, she grabbed two more handfuls from her pocket and put them on the table aside.

Liu Zhihua walked over and picked up her daughter. She smiled and said to Aunt Liu, "Just leave a few for her to satisfy her cravings. The price of peanuts is good this year. You can keep them and sell them for more money."

"Look what you said, how much are two handfuls of peanuts worth? I'm here to give you peanut seeds today. You can plant more this year and sell some coins next year so that Erya can learn from the masters in the town.

Craftsmanship, a girl who fishes in rivers all the time has become a tomboy."

Aunt Liu said, taking off a cloth bag from her waist and stuffing it into Liu Zhihua's hand.

Liu Zhihua was very moved. Aunt Liu had helped many families over the years. She was embarrassed to ask for these anymore. She smiled and said: "Erya is like a monkey and I can't control it. Besides, I can't grow some sweet potatoes and potatoes on the hilltop."

If you are successful, you may not be able to keep peanuts or anything like that, so you can keep them and grow them yourself."

Aunt Liu deliberately lowered her face in displeasure, "Zhihua, do you think I gave you too little?"

Liu Zhihua shook her head quickly: "I don't dare! I have relied on you for help all these years, how dare I dislike you."

"Then just put it away and I won't come next time if you recommend it."

"This,"

"Okay, why are you being polite to me? Your hilltop is on the shady side, and peanuts are destined to grow."

While the two were arguing, Jiaojiao had already put the peanut into her mouth and chewed it. It felt like a stick, and it pierced her mouth a little. She spat it out again with a wrinkled face.

"Mom, peanuts pierced your mouth."

Liu Zhihua looked back and said, "Ouch! Oh my goodness, why did you even eat the skin?"

She quickly took out the cotton handkerchief from her daughter's arms, cleaned all the residue on her little mouth, and said in a dumbfounded voice: "My dear, if you don't peel the peanuts, they will prick your mouth. Next time you want to eat them and call me mother, I will peel them for you."

."

Liu Zhihua picked up a peanut, pinched it hard with both fingers, and the shell cracked open, revealing two round peanuts, and said: "Good boy, eat the inside."

Jiaojiao's eyes were full of curiosity. She picked up the two red seeds with her soft fingers, stuffed them into her mouth and chewed them.

My eyes suddenly lit up, it smelled so good and delicious.

She imitated her mother's movements, pinched one open with both hands, took out the fruit inside and stuffed one into her mother's mouth. Liu Zhihua's heart warmed and she hugged her sweetheart and kissed her, "Look, my Jiaojiao knows how to love your mother."

”

The petite little hand took another one, stretched out his hand and handed it to Aunt Liu to share, and said obediently: "Auntie, eat it too."
