No matter what, he was an elder. Why didn't Hua Liu become angry when someone slapped his face in such a threatening manner?
But they really couldn't afford to offend the village chief's family. Even Hua Chengtian and his three sons were no match.
What's more, he has two good sons studying in the town. I heard that they will take the county's child examination soon. If they pass, they will be real scholars, and they can't be offended.
Hua Liu endured and suppressed the anger in her heart, and raised an ugly smile at Hua Chengtian.
"No, no, no more disturbing Chengtian, let's go back."
"Then I won't give it away," Hua Chengtian sneered.
Nodding, Hualiu turned around and helped up her eldest son, who was unsteady on his feet, and walked home gloomily. As for the old woman and her daughter-in-law, they didn't even see her.
When I got home, I dragged the old woman back to the room, and then there was a burst of howling.
By the time Huajin and Xiaosi got up, the farce outside the door had ended, and they only met their father who had closed the door and walked in.
When Hua Jin learned about the situation, she shook her head in regret. If she had known it would be so lively early in the morning, she would have gotten up earlier, and actually missed the famous scene of the best old woman being beaten.
Thinking of Hua Xiaocao's father being beaten, Hua Jin's first reaction was to look at her father.
Just say how much your father loves her, why did he compromise so easily yesterday? It turns out he was waiting here!
He is indeed her father!
Hua Jin's eyes were full of pride.
Dad, who was continuing his carpentry work in the yard, said mysteriously, "Dad, was it your work that Hua Xiaocao was beaten?"
"Guess?" Hua Chengtian smiled mysteriously and gently pinched his daughter's small and straight nose.
"Hey, there's no need to guess, daddy is the best." Hua Jin accidentally made a habitual move when she was excited, extending her thumb.
Looking at his daughter Hua Chengtian's eyes filled with admiration for him, and clinging to his side in a dependent manner, she is so beautiful in her heart! The corners of his mouth grinned involuntarily.
Even though he was happy, he did not ignore his daughter's extended thumb. Thinking of his daughter's words, Hua Chengtian seemed to understand what it meant, and pinched Hua Jin's thumb in a novel way.
"Daughter, do you mean great?" I asked curiously.
Only then did Hua Jin realize her inadvertent little move and nodded hurriedly in front of her father's gaze.
"Hmm, dad guessed it right away. Dad, don't you think the thumb is very important to a hand? You can't do many things without it. It's the most important thing."
Indeed, Hua Chengtian fully agreed with the child's point of view and nodded: "My daughter is so smart, great."
He immediately put his thumb up and learned what he was learning.
"That is, it doesn't matter whose daughter it is." Hua Jin raised her eyebrows and raised her chin.
Hua Chengtian's arrogant little appearance made Hua Chengtian very curious. If his daughter hadn't grown up, he would have to pick her up and hold her up like she did when she was a child to avoid suspicion.
This is one of the children’s favorite games when they were young, but unfortunately they grow up too quickly.
In the blink of an eye, his soft, sweet and cute daughter had grown so big. Looking at her delicate little face, he felt inexplicably disappointed.
"Okay, father and daughter, don't get tired of it. Aren't you hungry?"
Mrs. Qi, who was holding the basket of steamed buns, looked at the two crooked father and daughter under the shed and said angrily.
"Here comes my daughter," Hua Chengtian responded quickly, holding his daughter's hand and walking towards the main room.
Everyone in the main room was seated and waiting for them.
"Jin'er, come and sit here." The old man Hua, who had been in a good mood early in the morning, immediately turned gloomy and smiled when he saw his granddaughter.
"Hey, grandpa" Hua Jin obediently sat next to Old Man Hua. The seat between her grandma and grandma was her exclusive place. No matter how much her parents and brothers protested, it was in vain.
Of course, they were protesting that their daughter (sister) was too far away from them.
As the old man moved his chopsticks, the family of six began to enjoy the morning meal.
The young couple took the pancakes and set out for the academy in the town when the sky was just clear.
Huajia Village is located in a slightly dangerous and remote place, about thirty miles away from the town. He gets up early every day. Being sent to the town by Hua Chengtian can also earn some money for livestock feed.
Since I left early, I couldn't use it with my family for the morning meal, and it was too late.
How about spending money on studying? In other words, the Hua family had an oxcart, otherwise the cost of riding the oxcart back and forth every day would cost several cents, which would not be a small amount in a year.
Of course, farmers can endure hardships and can walk on two legs, but who can generally let their children go to school and be willing to let their children endure such hardships? After all, the distance is too far, and walking to the town is time-consuming. The main reason is that it is too much. Tiredness affects children's reading.
After dinner, Hua Jin took Xiaosi and couldn't wait to go to the backyard to see the rabbits.
The little rabbit had already moved into his new home last night, and he was happily eating the fresh vegetable leaves that Hua Jin still brought in.
As for the other two big ones, I didn’t kill them either. I thought I would take them to the town fair in a few days and sell them, and they would get a good price.
The reason why I didn’t sell the hare before I sent my children to school was because it was too early. Not to mention that the shop was not open and there were not many pedestrians. Even if I took it over, no one would be able to buy it. Is it possible to sell two hare in a big house? If you're early, just wait. It's a waste of time to do all the work at home. Hua Chengtian still has furniture in hand and is eager to finish it.
"Sister, when will these little rabbits grow up?" Xiaosi looked at the little hares in the cage with bright eyes, wishing that they would grow up now.
"Xiao Si just ate it yesterday and couldn't wait to eat it. His mouth was watering." Hua Jin teased her younger brother and looked at him teasingly.
Xiaosi subconsciously wiped his mouth with his hand and realized that he had been fooled. He immediately looked at his sister with disapproval: "Sister, you are so bad, I didn't drool."
His little mouth pursed and he snorted, as if his sister would not forgive him unless she comforted him.
"Why are you so angry now? Who said that he is a man?" Hua Jin pinched his younger brother's cheeks with both hands, and the handsome little boy was stunned into a big face.
"Borrow, coward Kai...Teng Teng..."
The little guy screamed exaggeratedly, but his face remained obedient and did not move.
"You know it hurts, so why are you still angry? Is my sister still bad?"
Xiao Si quickly shook his head and said, "I can lend you a favor..." A flattering expression appeared on her face.
"Good boy" Hua Jin couldn't help but squeeze again.
The little girl dared to fight with her, Hua Jin smiled brightly, and was finally willing to let go of her little hand when she was satisfied.
As soon as Xiaosi was freed, he walked away from his sister, patting his cheeks with both hands.
What should I do if my sister is too cruel? He thought sadly.
"What are you doing standing there? Aren't you going to feed the rabbit?" Hua Jin looked at the little guy's frightened eyes and reflected on herself for a second before waving to her younger brother, but the smile on her face was a bit hard to bear.
Xiaosi, whose emotions came and went as quickly as he thought, immediately forgot about what happened a second ago when his sister called out, and then walked over and threw vegetable leaves into the hare's nest.
Seeing her brother Hua Jin heartlessly accommodating her, she really liked him more and more. Thinking of the problem of snack food, she said: "Don't worry, I will definitely let you eat rabbit meat before the New Year."
"Really?" Xiaosi grinned in surprise, revealing his gums with missing front teeth. The small, dark holes made Xiaosi inexplicably happy.
"How can we have a holiday with all the rabbits here? If you raise them well, you will definitely be able to eat them. But if you want to eat meat, you have to work hard. I leave the rabbit raising to you."
Hua Jin's eyes narrowed and she smiled seductively.
Instead of letting Xiaosi run around outside all day long, beating up all the children in the village, and annoying people with dogs and chickens, it was just right to let him raise rabbits at home and control his temper.
