"Mom! What are you going to do?" Huo Erhuai was confused by Fang's actions.
When he came to his senses and went to press Fang's hand, it was too late.
Fang quickly took out a purse from Huo Erhuai's arms, grinned happily, and ran away before Huo Erhuai came to his senses. Huo Sipan followed him at a trot.
Huo Erhuai stared blankly at Fang and Huo Sipan who were running away, with a sad expression.
His mother found him without asking if they were doing well or if they could survive.
After receiving the new grain, he didn't even mention giving them a bag or a half, but just asked him for money. My brothers were conscripted into the corvee, and I felt sorry for them and wanted to pay for someone to do the work on their behalf.
What about him, did he pick it up?
Huo Xi hid aside and looked at Huo Erhuai, who was standing there blankly. She saw that he was looking at the figure of the mother and son running away in trance, standing still like a statue.
The back is lonely and lonely.
A feeling of heartache came over me.
He trotted forward and took hold of Huo Erhuai's rough palm: "Dad, you have us. From now on, Nian'er and I will be filial to you and mother. I will earn a lot of money and hire a lot of servants to serve you.
He Niang, I want you to be able to be an old man at home comfortably."
Huo Erhuai looked down at her and saw that she was looking up at him, with his own reflection in her eyes.
I couldn't help but feel very emotional.
It doesn't matter if we are related by blood, and it doesn't matter if we are not related by blood. Those who are not related by blood are closer to each other.
He held her hand tightly: "Well, dad is waiting. Let's go find your mother and brother."
The father and daughter walked towards the ferry.
Passing by a stall selling cakes and snacks, Huo Erhuai was attracted by the aroma and took a look. He saw that there were various kinds of cakes on the stall, such as thousand-layer cakes, wishful cakes, jade belt cakes, and roll cakes, all of which were exquisitely made.
.
After taking one look at Huo Xi, she reached into her arms to take out her purse.
When I took it out, I found nothing.
Then he remembered that his mother had taken all the money he got from selling the fish today, and now he didn’t even have the money to buy a cake for his child. His eyes darkened.
How could Huo Xi not know?
She shook his hand, looked up and smiled at him: "Dad, we still have flour on the ship, and we also have pumpkins. Let's go back and make pumpkin cakes."
Huo Erhuai was relieved of his embarrassment by the child. He felt relieved and tightened the child's hand with a gentle look: "Okay. Dad will help you when we get home."
The two of them cleared away the haze just now and returned to the ferry talking and laughing.
After waiting for less than half an hour, Yang Fu and Yang Shi came to pick them up in a rowing boat.
The two of them were still secretive, looking around for fear of being entangled by the Huo family.
"They left?" When Huo Xi and Huo Erhuai got on the boat, Yang Fu tiptoed to the shore without worry.
"He left. He grabbed dad's purse and ran away."
Yang Fu gritted his teeth with hatred: "I knew it. That family only knows how to ask for money. Every time they come to look for it, they must be asking for money. They always cry for poverty. The family has land, three sons, three daughters-in-law, and a child.
Heaping up grandchildren, as long as the family is more diligent, clears up wasteland to raise land for a few years, and enjoys good weather in the south of the Yangtze River, can they still be hungry? "
Yang Funian muttered, obviously very angry.
Huo Xi shook his head and laughed.
She didn't know whether the family would be hungry. She had not been to Huo's house in Huojiaba. She didn't know what was going on inside.
But today, just looking at the situation of the mother and son, the family should not be unable to survive.
It was just that she had to pay a few taels of labor service money all of a sudden. It hurt her heart and she wanted to ask her father to share the burden.
At the stern of the boat, Yang was also asking Huo Erhuai about the situation.
After hearing this, Yang felt aggrieved and felt sorry for Huo Erhuai. How could there be such a mother and brother?
When I heard that she had given birth to a son, I didn't say that I would come to see her and ask about her grandson. I was surprised that the child was still alive. Although I didn't expect them, I still felt sad because of such cold treatment.
Thinking of Sanlang who died in his arms, Yang shed tears.
Huo Erhuai went to pull her: "Stop crying, it's not good for the children to see. Nian'er is Sanlang. We raise him and Xi'er well, and they will be filial to us."
Mrs. Yang wiped her tears and nodded while choking.
"All the money is gone?"
Huo Erhuai nodded: "I didn't expect that she would touch my arms."
Mrs. Yang sneered, "Your mother can't do anything!" In order to get a few more taels of bride price, she would even go to the door of Yang's house to behave and wreak havoc.
Fortunately, Huo Erhuai is a good person. Over the years, the husband and wife have been of the same mind, and he treats Yang Fu as if he is gone.
"If it's gone, it's gone. Fortunately, our family still has some savings."
Huo Erhuai sighed after hearing this: "Yes, thanks to Xi'er. Otherwise, our life would be difficult this year."
After Huo Xi and Yang Fu finished talking in the cabin, they saw that Yang had pulled hemp ropes across the three cabins and hung them with marinated chickens and ducks, just like the pickled bacon and sausages made by farmers in autumn and winter.
Full and full.
Huo Xi went up and smelled it. It smelled so good.
Yang Fu also went up to smell it. This year, he no longer had to eat salted fish or cured fish. There was meat to eat. So much meat!
Yang came in and slapped him away. "You haven't eaten less meat these days, and you're still greedy!"
Yang Fu stared at a duck leg and drooled: "I don't eat much, just this duck leg will do."
"I think you look like a duck leg!" She glared at him, looked at Huo Xi, and said with a smile, "Xi'er, there are still some oranges at home. Mom will give them to you."
With that said, he opened the hatch and took out two oranges.
He handed the tangerine to Huo Xi and the Yingzhou tangerine to Yang Fu. Yang Fu glared at his sister, hum, treat them differently.
Mrs. Yang bared her teeth at him. Some of them were good to eat, but she was picky about them.
Huo Xi handed the tangerine into her hand: "Mom, you and dad can eat this, and uncle and I can eat that."
"You guys eat, but my parents won't." Seeing that Huo Xi forced it to her, he took the one from Yang Fu and went to the stern of the boat to share it with Huo Erhuai.
Yang Fu quickly took the tangerine, peeled off the skin, and took half of it each with Huo Xi.
Just as he was about to start eating, Huo Nian rubbed his eyes and woke up.
Huo Xi picked him up and put a tangerine to his mouth, and he immediately turned his head away.
A few days ago, Huo Xi saw that he was greedy, so she handed a sour orange to his mouth. After licking it twice, he shivered with soreness. Later, when he saw everyone squeezing orange juice, he stopped clamoring for it.
Now he lay his head on Huo Xi's shoulder reflexively.
Seeing that Huo Xi and Yang Fu were eating deliciously, they turned to look again. Their eyes were fixed on them and they were drooling.
Huo Xi tore off the membrane on both sides of the tangerine and handed the pulp to his mouth. He stared at Huo Xi again and again before carefully sticking out his little tongue to lick it.
With this lick, the taste comes out.
Dancing and dancing, leaning forward with the whole body, oh oh, I still want it.
He looked down upon Yang and Yang Fu with great admiration.
Huo Xi didn't let him eat until he fed him a small piece of it.
Seeing that he hadn't eaten enough, Huo Xi patted his little hand and tapped his mouth: "You can't eat it. If you eat it again, you won't grow teeth."
The little thing didn't know whether he understood or not. He pursed his lips and felt a little aggrieved. He leaned towards Yang and stretched out his hand to hug her.
Yang held him in her arms and coaxed him: "How about we eat when Nian'er grows up? When Nian'er grows up, mother will buy a lot for Nian'er to eat."
Seeing that he was still staring at the tangerine in Yang Fu's hand, he glared at Yang Fu and said, "Why don't you hurry up and eat it!"
Yang Fu was so frightened that he put the remaining pieces of tangerine into his mouth and chewed them.
Huo Nian went to see Huo Xi again, but Huo Xi also stuffed all the food into his mouth and waved his hand to indicate that it was gone.
Huo Nian looked at Yang with some grievances, which made Yang feel very distressed: "Oh, our Nian'er doesn't want to eat it. Mom takes Nian'er to boil eggs."
After holding Nian'er in my arms, I went to the bow of the boat to boil eggs.
Huo Xi got into his cabin and prepared to take stock of the inventory on the ship.
It will be released tomorrow, let’s spread some flowers~ It was hard to read the data before it was released, and I was also nervous to read the data after it was released. Thank you to everyone who has been supporting me, voting for monthly votes, recommending votes, comparing your comments, and friends who give rewards, I love you!
I watched the CCTV news the day before yesterday and it was said that the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal has been fully opened to water after continuous water injection. However, it is not yet open to navigation. The northern section of the canal is blocked by silt. It is estimated that the northern section will not be navigable for the time being. Unfortunately.
