Ruyue returned to Wu's house according to Wu Yun's memory, and smelled the faint aroma of pasta and meat in the air at home.
Obviously, Mrs. Zhang secretly cooked something and ate it with her children at noon.
Ruyue didn't point it out. After all, even if she pointed it out, there would be no evidence. She had already eaten it.
She put the firewood in the woodshed, did not enter the main room, but walked out again, took the things wrapped in straw and walked to the old house.
Grandma Wu was very happy when she saw Wu Yun coming: "Wu Yun is here, come here, come here, your aunt went to the fair yesterday to buy some sweets for grandma, and grandma will give you sweets to eat."
Grandpa Wu is fifty-two years old and Grandma Wu is only forty-eight. Both of them can still work. They cultivate an acre of land and manage it by themselves. They call their two sons to help with planting and harvesting.
They grew it themselves, and each of their two sons received two hundred catties of grain and one tael of silver each year. Therefore, the old couple's life was not bad. They got good things and were willing to give them to their grandchildren.
Ruyue quickly handed over the pheasant tied with grass: "Grandma, I went up the mountain to collect firewood today and picked up a pheasant. I brought it to you to eat."
Grandma Wu was even more happy: "Why did you bring just one chicken? Why don't you let it go to your own house to eat?"
Ruyue shook her head: "Grandma, I just came back and smelled the faint smell of meat at home. Meat may have been cooked at home, so I'll give you this chicken to eat."
When Grandma Wu heard her granddaughter's words, her expression suddenly changed: "Zhang's family eats alone again!" Each word showed that she understood that Zhang's family often eats alone.
She suddenly raised her head and looked at Ruyue: "You also know that your mother usually cooks delicious food for lunch?"
Wu Yun pretended to be confused: "Grandma, I just smelled the aroma of meat and guessed that our family must have cooked meat. Did my mother and the others avoid me and cook something delicious for lunch? Grandma, the weather is hot, and you will eat this chicken today.
Let’s stew it tonight.”
Grandma Wu looked at Ruyue with complicated eyes: This child is only seven or eight years old, how can he know so much. She stretched out her hand and held Ruyue: "Okay, let's stew chicken tonight, and you can stay at grandma's house to eat together."
"
Ruyue alone ate a rabbit on the mountain. His stomach is still full. How can he stay and eat chicken?
"No, if I had dinner at grandma's place, if I couldn't eat it when I went back, my mother would say I was picky about food, so I went back." After that, he left without looking back.
Grandpa Wu came over and saw his wife looking outside: "What are you looking at?" When he saw the pheasant in his wife's hand, his eyes lit up: "Where did the pheasant come from?"
"Wu Yun gave it to me. She found it when she was cutting firewood in the mountains today. She said she smelled a faint aroma of meat at home, so she guessed that the meat was cooked at home, so she gave us the whole chicken."
When Grandma Wu said this, she smiled bitterly: "It's just that she will be disappointed when she goes back. I'm afraid the meat from Lao Er's house will have been eaten by noon."
"Wu Yun is such a good boy." Grandpa Wu also sighed: "Find a time to tell the boss about the fact that the second child often avoids Wu Yun to eat delicious food at noon, and let him pay attention.
Former concubine, don’t be bullied by the later women. Do you think Wu Yun is so skinny? An eight-year-old is as tall as a six-year-old!"
The old couple got a pheasant, and instead of feeling happy, they became upset because Wu Yun was mistreated by the second son's family.
