Li Xiu'e thought for a moment and said, "That's okay."
Compared with Xiao Wu, Hua Hua is much more reliable, he should be able to take care of Jin Bao.
"Hua Hua, you should be careful when sleeping. You can't hold Jin Bao down with your arms. She is still young and cannot be held down."
"Grandma Su, don't worry. I sleep very well. I fall asleep at night and wake up in the morning. I rarely even turn over."
After hearing Hua Hua's assurance, Li Xiu'e said with peace of mind: "That's good."
"I don't agree!" Su Xiaowu suddenly said.
"What do you want to do? You want to cause trouble again, right?"
"No, I just think Jinbao can't sleep with him."
Li Xiu'e asked in confusion: "Why not?"
Su Xiaowu pointed at Yao Hua, "He is a boy and Jinbao is a girl. If a girl sleeps with a boy before she gets married, she will be laughed at and will be unable to hold her head high for the rest of her life."
His words made his grandparents laugh.
Li Xiu'e gently patted Xiao Wu's head and asked, "Where did you learn that?"
"The day before yesterday, I was taking a nap, and Xia Qiaoqiao came to sleep with me. Then she was scolded by her mother like this."
"Old man, is this happening?" Li Xiu'e asked Grandpa Jinbao.
Su Changzhu shook his head, "I don't know, I didn't see it, but the cute girl next door really likes to pester our Xiao Wu, and it's not impossible that she would climb into bed and sleep with Xiao Wu."
"I think Xia Qiaoqiao's mother is right when she says that girls can't sleep with boys!"
Li Xiu'e smiled and said: "That's Qiao Niu'er's mother making a fuss. You two are only a few years old. What does it have to do with sleeping together? Besides, Hua Hua is engaged to Jin Bao and is not an outsider...
"
She told so many lies that she even believed them.
"Jin Bao was betrothed at such a young age. Does she agree to this marriage?" Su Xiaowu frowned.
"Of course I agree. Jinbao and Huahua are so good. They used to play together every day."
Su Xiaowu didn't believe what his grandma said. He turned to look at Xiao Jinbao and asked her, "Hey, do you really want to be his wife?"
After hearing no response for a long time, Yao Hua's nerves all tensed up and he stared at Jin Bao.
"Jin Bao, are you willing to marry me as your wife?" Yao Hua looked at Jin Bao firmly with his eyes, as if he wanted to see through her, "Are you willing or not?"
Why does this look like a proposal? She is just a baby! Hey! She is only two years old!
Jin Bao shook his head hurriedly.
"I shook my head! Did you see that Jin Bao didn't want to!" Su Xiaowu said loudly.
He didn't know why, but he was very happy when he saw Jin Bao shaking his head.
Contrary to his mood, Yao Hua felt that his heart was broken into pieces for a moment.
"Don't want to? Why?" Yao Hua's eyes were red, as if he was about to cry in the next second, "Don't Jinbao like me? Why doesn't Jinbao like me?"
His clear eyes were always sparkling, as if they were filled with bright stars, but now they were dim, like the night sky covered by dark clouds, without any light at all, like an empty shell.
Seeing his sad and lost look, Jin Bao's mood also became bad.
"I like it, Brother Huahua..." The little baby's voice was sweet and waxy, intermittent, "Jinbao, when you get married...you will know when you grow up..."
It turns out that Jin Bao shook his head not because he didn't want to marry him, but because he didn't know.
After thinking about this, Yao Hua's eyebrows were extremely soft, and his eyes were full of stars again, "I understand, I will wait for Jinbao to grow up, and wait for Jinbao to know the answer."
The two children's eyes intertwined, and their faces were even redder than before.
In the eyes of others, aren't they just childhood sweethearts?
Li Xiu'e smiled so much that there were a few creases at the end of her eyes, feeling that her granddaughter and Hua Hua were a perfect match.
Su Changzhu thought that his youngest son's marriage had not yet been settled, but his granddaughter actually had a partner, oh!
As for Su Xiaowu, he felt sour when his sister said that she liked Yao Hua.
He looked at Yao Hua with a bit more hostility in his eyes.
"Okay, it's getting late, it's time to go to bed." Li Xiu'e yawned.
After riding the train for so many days and having a bumpy day today, she was exhausted.
"Xiao Wu, you sleep on this side, Hua Hua sleeps on the other side, Jin Bao and Hua Hua sleep on the other side."
In order to prevent little Jinbao from falling out of bed, she placed the little girl on the inside against the wall and told Huahua to take good care of Jinbao at night.
"Okay, don't worry, Grandma Su," Yao Hua said.
"If anything happens, call me right away. I'll be inside. If you shout, I'll hear you."
"Well, I understand."
Li Xiu'e said a lot of things, such as leaving the chamber pot at the foot of the bed and never stepping out in the middle of the night.
"If Jinbao cries and pees at night, you ask me to get up and I will help Jinbao pee, but you won't."
Xiao Jinbao blushed and felt very embarrassed, so he could only close his eyes and pretend to sleep.
"I understand everything." Yao Hua repeated exactly what Grandma Jinbao had just said.
"Okay, okay, you kid is really smart."
With Hua Hua around, Li Xiu'e felt very at ease and went to sleep in the back room separated by half a wall.
The two old men went to bed first, while the children outside were still lighting kerosene lamps.
In order to prevent fleas and lice, Yao Hua opened the quilt on the wheat straw and sprinkled flea powder under the quilt.
In addition, he sprinkled another bottle of powder at the foot of the bed and sprayed a few sprays of mosquito repellent.
"This sheet is too dirty. It's too late today. It must be washed twice with soap tomorrow." Yao Hua smelled the core of the quilt, "and the cotton is moldy. I can't sleep on it. I have to buy a new bed."
Quilt."
Su Xiaowu felt very uncomfortable when he heard that he disliked this and that.
Before Yao Hua and Jin Bao came, he had been sleeping on wheat straw. In order for them to sleep comfortably, grandma brought all the quilts hidden in the cupboard to cover them. This kid actually disliked the quilt.
"City people really love being poor and are very particular." Su Xiaowu couldn't help but mock.
"This is not called being poor and being particular, this is called being hygienic. Only by being hygienic can you avoid getting sick," Yao Hua said.
"Didn't I live well under this quilt for so many years? My uncle used to sleep here with me, and he was not sick. He was strong. I have never heard anyone say that someone died of illness under a dirty quilt.
"
Yao Hua casually replied, "It's just survivor bias, there's nothing much to say."
Su Xiaowu didn't understand what he just said, "What deviation? What do you mean?"
"Moldy quilts breed bacteria, mosquitoes, and fleas, causing skin diseases and respiratory diseases. Some people died of the disease without knowing it was because of the moldy quilt. I can't tell you, but people who are alive say that there is nothing wrong with covering up a dirty quilt. This is called survivor bias.
.”
"Stop trying to scare people!"
"I'm not scaring you. Mold is harmful to the body. This is common medical knowledge."
Su Xiaowu looked at Yao Hua and became more and more dissatisfied, and cursed: "What bullshit common sense, if you keep talking nonsense, be careful, I will kick you out immediately, let you sleep outside the gate, and don't even think about coming in again."
"You can try……"
"What?"
"When the commotion gets louder, wake up your grandparents and see if you are kicked out or me." Yao Hua was not afraid.
Su Xiaowu's temper suddenly rose.
He took out the slingshot he carried with him and raised his hand to shoot Yao Hua on the head.
"Bad boy, fight..." Xiao Jinbao, who had his eyes closed, opened his eyes and said, "Bad boy, fight."
Being called a bad boy by his sister, Su Xiaowu felt particularly bad and said angrily: "Humph! I am a bad boy to begin with!"
