Tugen echoed his grandma's words, "That's right, the one who cried Dexi before, 'Wow wow wow,' kept crying. I even wanted to tear her mouth out!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Jiang Qingshan pulled his grandson to his side, "If you keep talking nonsense like this, I will take you home directly later."
"I won't say anything," Tugen hurriedly covered his mouth, "Grandpa, please don't take me away, otherwise I will be bored to death without my aunt at home."
His grandfather patted his head and said, "You can go play with your brother."
"I don't want to play with my brother. He will bully me all day long. I don't like my brother, I only like my aunt." Tugen said seriously.
His grandmother interrupted the conversation between him and his grandfather, "Okay, daddy, if you are full, go home quickly."
Uncle Shen saw this and hurriedly stood up from the chair, "Are you leaving now? Why don't you sit down for a while?"
"Don't sit down. There are a lot of things to do at home."
"Then let me see you off," Uncle Shen said politely, "Su'e, Lingbao and Tugen live here. Don't worry, I will take good care of them."
Jiang Qingshan nodded, "I'm sorry, brother."
After saying that, as if he had thought of something, he took out the money from his pocket and put it into his wife's hand, "I almost forgot just now. Take this money and buy whatever you want. Don't be reluctant to spend it."
After he left, when everyone had finished eating the noodles, Shen Su'e began to clear away the dishes.
"Auntie, let me clean it up." Dele grabbed the bowls and chopsticks.
"No need," Shen Su'e said with a smile, "You are so young and you went to cut pigweed early in the morning. Take your sister back to the house and have a good rest."
"I'm not young, I'm already seven years old."
"Isn't seven years old still young?"
Shen Dele nodded, "Yeah! I'm very big! Besides, my aunt let Dehuan and I eat noodles, so I should help you wash the dishes."
Seeing that she insisted on washing the dishes, Shen Su'e had to give her the dishes and chopsticks.
"Auntie," Tugen said to his aunt, "I think this cousin is pretty good, much better than the annoying older cousin before. What do you think, auntie?"
The little baby nodded, "Well, Lingbao also likes her more."
"Then after she finishes washing the dishes, let's play hide-and-seek with her?"
"Are you playing hide-and-seek again?" Lingbao asked, "Tugen, why do you like playing hide-and-seek so much like Fugui?"
"Then what games does Auntie like to play?"
The female doll tilted her little head and thought for a while, then frowned and said, "Lingbao doesn't know either. What kind of games do children generally like to play?"
Tu Gen said: "My brother used to love playing on stilts the most, but then he made the stilts too high and accidentally fell them. Then my mother stopped letting us play."
"Walking on stilts? What kind of game is that? Is it fun?"
"It's just using two bamboo poles to make stilts, and then putting your feet on them. It's quite interesting to compete to see who can run faster, haha... But the boys in the village prefer to play stilts, and girls generally don't play this game with us.
of."
After listening to Tugen's description, Lingbao found it very interesting, "I want to play!"
"Then let's ask grandma to make stilts for us? We need to cut the bamboo first..."
"Don't bother mother, let's go chop the bamboo ourselves."
"Okay, okay." Tugen jumped up and said.
After discussion, the two children found Dele and Dehuan who had finished their work and asked them if they wanted to play stilts together. If they wanted to play, they had to go to the bamboo forest to cut bamboo and make it into stilts.
Shen Dele's heartbeat sped up inexplicably as she looked into Little Lingbao's big, bright eyes. She had noticed this little sister before and thought she was very cute and beautiful, different from the girls in the village.
When Lingbao asked her why she was crying just now, she wanted to talk to her and told her that every time her sister celebrated her birthday, she could eat noodles, but she couldn't...
It was rare that she could eat delicious noodles this time. Her heart was sour and swollen. She felt like it was her birthday, so she shed tears.
These words were stuck in Shen Dele's stomach. She resisted the urge to play with Lingbao and said, "We can't play, grandma will be angry."
"Grandma? Oh! She's the eldest aunt, right?" Lingbao patted his chest, "Don't be afraid, Lingbao go and tell her, she will definitely not be angry with you!"
After saying that, without waiting for Dele to answer, she took a breath, smelled her aunt's scent and went to the backyard, where she saw her aunt talking to her cousin.
"Mom, I think this eldest aunt's family is really rich. My eldest uncle just gave her dozens of dollars. I estimate it's at least fifty dollars."
"It must have happened. Otherwise, can we eat noodles and meat early in the morning?"
Liao Guifen sighed, "Oh, I really didn't expect that I was so poor before, but I came to our house to borrow money, and in the blink of an eye..."
Before she finished speaking, suddenly, a childish and cute little voice came from behind, and the person the girl called was "auntie".
"Lingbao?" Zhao Cuilan turned around and saw her little niece. She hurriedly bent down and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"
"Lingbao wants to play outside with Dele and Dehuan, is that okay?" Lingbao asked.
Zhao Cuilan was surprised, "He De Le, De Huan are going to play?"
"Yes, aunt, please promise Lingbao, right?"
Liao Guifen stepped forward and asked, "Where do you want to go?"
"Inside the bamboo forest outside." Lingbao stretched out his little hand and pointed outward.
"Bamboo forest? The roads there are not easy to walk. There were a lot of people digging winter bamboo shoots in the past few days, and there are potholes everywhere. It would be bad if you accidentally fall," Zhao Cuilan said. "You just came today, why don't you just play in the yard?"
Lingbao asked curiously: "Are winter bamboo shoots something to eat?"
Her aunt smiled and nodded, "Yes, they are bamboo shoots buried in the soil. They are delicious. Hasn't Lingbao ever eaten winter bamboo shoots?"
"No, it sounds delicious. Lingbao wants to eat it too."
"Haha, I'll let your cousin take you to dig winter bamboo shoots that afternoon, okay? With Guisheng taking you, I'll feel more at ease."
After Zhao Cuilan finished speaking, her eldest daughter-in-law couldn't help but said: "Mom, there are no winter bamboo shoots! They have all been dug up! Have you forgotten? The day before yesterday, Guisheng and Baosheng went to dig out bamboo shoots with a dustpan, and they found none. None of them were found."
"Ouch, I almost forgot, it's really gone..."
"Maybe Lingbao can also dig winter bamboo shoots." Xiao Lingbao said.
Looking at the chubby little baby in front of her, Zhao Cuilan remembered that many people in Baihe Village said that Lingbao was a little lucky star, and that Lingbao brought good luck to the Jiang family. She didn't know that Lingbao, a little lucky star, was related to Who is more lucky than Dexi?
With this thought in mind, she slapped her forehead and decided, "Let's see, my eldest sister-in-law will take you to play in the bamboo forest and dig some winter bamboo shoots, okay?"
"Ah?" Liao Guifen was surprised, "Mom, are you going to dig winter bamboo shoots?"
"Yeah, the main thing is to take Lingbao out to play," Zhao Cuilan said to her daughter-in-law, then turned to look at Lingbao, "But you have to tell Lingbao your mother about this first, and she agrees before we can go, otherwise She will be angry."
