"You are the only one who is smart." Mrs. Qi looked at her arrogant daughter and couldn't help but nod Hua Jin's forehead.
"Having said that, if you are not very sure, you still can't test human nature easily. Jin'er, you are still young. Forget it this time. You are not allowed to do such things in the future. Do you understand?" Old Man Hua controlled his expression to make himself serious. It was the first time I said this seriously to my granddaughter.
"Yeah, don't worry, I know." Just nodded. She wasn't going to sell any more recipes anyway.
Seeing his granddaughter's obedient promise, Old Man Hua nodded with satisfaction, and said slowly: "I'm not blaming you. I know that my granddaughter is filial and wants her family to live a good life. Her idea is right, but the only thing wrong is that she didn't discuss it with us. After all, no matter how sensible you are, you are only a child, and you don’t think very carefully about many things.”
Grandpa's words shocked Hua Jin's heart. Her arrogant and happy expression slowly disappeared, and she suddenly realized that she seemed to be overconfident.
What if Luo Song was a hypocrite who was good at hiding? Hua Jin felt a chill in her heart when she thought of this.
She seemed to be in too much of a hurry, and she could have known more about it before deciding whether to bet or not.
Grandpa is right, human nature is the least able to withstand temptation, and a big family like them cannot afford to gamble.
Hua Jin was covered in cold sweat, and she became serious when she thought of this, and said sternly: "Grandpa, I'm sorry, I was wrong. This kind of thing will never happen again in the future."
Seeing that his granddaughter really figured it out, Mr. Hua's serious expression disappeared and a smile appeared on his face. Even if his good granddaughter was smart, he pointed it out.
…
When Luo Song returned to the house, even if it was snowing, he still asked the housekeeper to prepare the car and set off.
He wanted to rush back to his ancestors outside the city in person, and he would not be relieved if he did not personally hand over the prescription to his ancestors Luo Song.
It cost a lot of money but it was a stepping stone. With it, it would not be so difficult to enter Lord Zhou Mu's mansion.
The appearance of Xue Yan is a gift to Master Yizhou, so how can he not accept it?
Naturally, the Hua family didn't know that Luo Song couldn't wait to leave Shanggu Town.
Snowflakes have been falling for a few more days, a lot of snow has accumulated on the ground, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and the academies in the town are also preparing to have a holiday.
After all, it was very difficult to walk through the thick snow to go to school every day, so I simply took a holiday, which was almost always at this time every year.
So that day, when they saw the two brothers Hua Yun'ao bringing back all the things from their academy, no one in Hua Jin's family felt strange.
The one who was most unhappy was probably Xiao Si'er.
His brothers were on vacation, which was the beginning of his disaster. The thought of having to read and practice calligraphy all the time made Xiao Si feel that his life was in darkness, and even his sister's roasted sweet potatoes couldn't save him.
The next days will be the real cat winter, and even Hua Chengtian will stop the woodwork in his hands.
It's too cold to stretch out my hands.
The most common thing the family does is sit around the carbon basin in the main room to keep warm.
Hua Jin's initial novelty towards snow slowly disappeared.
The thing I envy the most every day is watching Xiaosi always running outside despite the cold, and having snowball fights with friends in the village.
She also wanted to go out, but she was afraid of the cold.
And it seems like it snows very much in winter here.
It was another snowy day, and even Xiaosi was detained at home. The family stayed in the main room, warming themselves with a charcoal pot.
Hua Jin was bored and lay on the window, opened the crack and looked at the vast white field outside the window, listening to her grandma reminiscing about the past.
Not only Hua Jin, Hua Yun'ao and the others also heard it with gusto.
"..."
"Miscellaneous, my father was so brave and heroic at that time to save the beauty!" As she spoke, Hua Jin looked at Old Man Hua with admiring eyes, which made Old Man Hua unconsciously raise his chin.
"It's just so-so." Old Man Hua grinned with an unusually arrogant expression.
"Virtue" Hua Laozi spat at her wife.
Hua Jinze walked up to Old Man Hua and pushed Hua himself with a gossipy face: "Sir, tell me why you are a hero saving a beauty. Have you already coveted the beauty of my breasts? On purpose..."
"Go, go, go, what's the intention...it's a coincidence." Old Man Hua said so confidently, but he would have been even more confident if he hadn't secretly glanced at his wife.
"You are so stubborn. I don't know who was following me secretly at that time." Mrs. Hua exposed her old man's shortcomings mercilessly.
"I... I was protecting you... otherwise, how could I have saved you."
"Yeah, I ended up throwing myself into a ditch."
Hua Jin's interest immediately rose upon hearing this, "She fell into a ditch. Tell me what happened to her."
At this point, Mrs. Hua couldn't help laughing and looked at Mr. Hua, "It's just that your father beat away two thugs who were trying to rob someone on the road. In the end, he got so carried away that he stumbled with his left foot and fell into the ditch with his right foot. Then..."
"It's just a slight fall. It's nothing. It's all in the past. Why are you talking about this... I won't say it anymore..." The old man Hua, who was obviously trying to cover up, quickly interrupted his wife's words. , looking so anxious that he almost covered his wife's mouth with his hand.
Seeing that they were obviously so anxious that they jumped over the wall...ah, they were so anxious. Grandpa Hua Jin and his brothers couldn't help but snickered, and even Hua Chengtian turned his face away.
"...Master, I don't believe it..."
Just as he was getting up, there was an anxious shout outside the gate of Hua's house, interrupting Hua Jin's efforts to break the casserole and ask the truth.
"Village chief, village chief..."
Old Man Hua stood up and said, "Chengtian, go take a look?" After thinking about it, he quickly followed him out.
"What's wrong? Are you in a hurry?"
As soon as the visitor saw the village chief, he walked anxiously into the yard and said, "Village Chief, the house of old Zhaotou's house next door collapsed and everyone was buried. My family is helping. Please call someone to take a look. .”
"How could it collapse? What does Lao Zhaotou's son do for food?" Old Man Hua became angry when he heard this and said to his son, "Chengtian, hurry up and call a few people to rescue people."
Every winter, we reiterate again and again that we must not be lazy, and we must sweep snow from the roof frequently, but there are still some families who are lazy and always have a sense of luck. This time it is better.
Hua Chengtian also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he quickly returned to the woodshed, grabbed the tools, and ran out of the house.
"What happened to the old man? Whose house collapsed?" Old Mrs. Hua also asked anxiously when she heard the sound.
"Old Zhaotou from the west end of the village" He said anxiously, and the old man hurriedly followed the visitor towards Old Zhaotou's house.
There was such a loud sound in the yard, everyone in the house heard it, and they were a little anxious for a while.
The house collapsed, and the man...
"No, I have to go take a look." How could Old Mrs. Hua stay in the house for such a big thing.
"Mom, I'll go with you."
It was snowing too hard outside, and Mrs. Qi didn't trust her mother-in-law to go alone.
"Let's go too." Hua Jin, Hua Yun'ao, brother and sister also stood up, especially Hua Jin who had started to tidy up, wearing her scarf and hat tightly.
Old Mrs. Hua nodded and went if she wanted to. The children were so old that she could grow her legs even if she didn't let them go.
When the old man came to the west end of the village, he saw his son and the villagers cleaning up the collapsed houses.
