"Sister, are you up?"
Hua Yun'ao, who smiled happily at her sister, immediately attracted other people in the yard as soon as she opened her mouth.
Hua Chengtian happened to see his daughter shrinking from the cold, and immediately felt distressed.
"Jin'er, it's too cold outside. Don't come out. I'll ask your mother to bring the meal to you later."
Hua Jin: "..."
Back in the house...she seemed to have just gotten up.
"Dad, I'm not cold, I just came out and I'll be fine after a while." Hua Jin said quickly.
Although the feeling of being pampered by your family is indeed very addictive, it doesn't mean you can't even leave the house.
Looking at his son who was smiling at the side, Hua Chengtian also knew that he was a little too nervous, and also knew that his daughter was not as delicate as he thought. He nodded, but still told Hua Jin to hurry to the house if she felt cold.
Hua Jin kept nodding, fearing that her father would not finish the work, she did not dare to stay in the courtyard longer and went directly to the kitchen.
As soon as I came in, I saw my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law busy in the kitchen. Compared with the cold outside, it was so warm that I didn't want to go out.
The two stoves were shrouded in firelight, one of them was filled with warm breakfast food, and the other was filled with a pot of hot water for ready use.
Mrs. Hua and Mrs. Qi were washing and chopping vegetables in preparation for noon.
Although he was so focused on his work, Hua Jin felt as if he had back eyes as soon as he came in. Almost at the same time, he put down the work in his hands and turned to look at Hua Jin who walked in.
Seeing her mother-in-law put down the knife and walk to her daughter, Mrs. Qi did not move but went to the stove and took out the warm food from the pot.
When Mrs. Hua saw her granddaughter getting up, she immediately smiled fondly on her face, and the wrinkles on her gentle face relaxed.
"Why don't you sleep a little longer? It's so cold. You're hungry. Come in quickly." He touched the child's hand immediately and was relieved to find that it was not as good as expected.
"Nai, I've been sleeping for a long time. Why are you cooking something delicious? I'm so hungry!" Hua Jin, who stretched her neck to look into the pot, rubbed her belly and acted coquettishly towards Nai.
"Millet porridge, your mother spread out two egg pancakes for you." Old Mrs. Hua's heart almost melted when her granddaughter looked like she had no bones leaning against her. She couldn't help pinching Hua Jin's erect little nose. .
"Okay, don't overfeed your milk. Come over here if you're hungry." Mrs. Qi, who took out the food, also looked at her daughter in disgust.
"Eh!" She was too hungry, so Hua Jin agreed and quickly sat down at the desk, took a big gulp of millet porridge, and exaggerated "Hmm".
"I like the rice cooked by Mom and Nai the most. This porridge is so delicious."
"Stop being weird and eat quickly." The exaggerated little Qi couldn't help but laugh and said angrily.
"It's delicious, Nai, Mom, try it." Hua Jin raised the egg pancake on the chopsticks high in front of Nai and Niang.
Looking at Hua Jin's bright little eyes, the old lady Hua felt dizzy and was smiling from ear to ear.
"My granddaughter is still filial, unlike those brats who all eat like wolves, but we have eaten, Jin, eat it quickly and let it cool down."
"Nai is right, eat quickly." Qi, who took the knife in her hand to cut vegetables again, took the time to say something.
Seeing that Naihe Niang really didn't want to eat Huajin, she nodded and started eating.
I'm so hungry when I wake up!
A bowl of porridge and two pancakes were all in Hua Jin's stomach in a short while.
My stomach was full, and my whole body became energetic instantly. I put the dishes and chopsticks in the water before I started washing them, but the old lady Hua exaggeratedly shouted to stop.
"Leave it alone. Just wash it with cold water and milk. Be careful to keep your hands from freezing."
Looking at the slightly steaming water, Hua Jin said: "..."
"Milk, the water is not cold," Hua Jin said quietly.
"That won't work either. Your mother and I are here, so there's no need for you to work."
Being a girl means that you can live more comfortably in your parents' house, but Mrs. Hua is not willing to let her granddaughter work at all.
As for getting married, isn't it too early? It's not too late to learn before getting married.
Looking at her white and tender little hands, Hua Jin stood aside silently.
I'm afraid no girl in the entire Huajia Village could find two of them with such a hand.
Even in her era, children were more pampered, but sometimes they still had to do their own things.
Although she had long been used to it these days, she could not help but be moved by the love of her family again. Hua Jin fell directly into the arms of Mrs. Hua, her little face caressing her face.
"Milk, you are so kind!"
Although she enjoyed her granddaughter's coquettishness, looking at her two oily hands, the old lady quickly shouted to stop.
"Okay, okay, stop acting like a spoiled brat. I'll rub the oil on you when I turn around." Mrs. Hua raised her hands to signal in front of her granddaughter.
This sentence still worked, and Hua Jin immediately stood upright.
The main reason is that it is too difficult to wash the clothes after getting oil on them. The unlucky one is my mother, and I have to work hard to help her wash them.
Of course, there is laundry detergent to remove grease stains in her space, but my mother still has to work hard to wash it, which invisibly adds more work to my mother.
"Good boy, go play." Mrs. Hua looked at her granddaughter and stood aside obediently, smiling fondly at her, and then continued cutting the bacon alive.
Looking at the snowflakes that were blown into the kitchen by the wind from time to time, Hua Jin didn't want to play at all, shook her head and sat down in her usual place, "Nai, I'll help you light the fire."
The old woman didn't object to sitting in front of the stove, so she and her daughter-in-law continued to prepare for lunch.
The chicken, fish pieces, and braised pork are all prepared beforehand and can be added to the pot.
But the two girls wouldn't come easily. There was no delicious food at home. Now that there was no shortage of flowers at home, the old lady still wanted to prepare more delicious food.
Thinking about it, I cut an extra piece of meat and stir-fried some more vegetables, steamed eggs for my younger grandchildren, and made fresh pork rib soup to nourish the children.
Mrs. Hua and her daughter-in-law were busy preparing in the kitchen. Hua Chengtian took his sons to clean the yard and recharged the carbon in the house, waiting for his two sisters and children to come. .
As for Old Man Hua, he wandered to the end of the village wearing a bamboo hat and thick cotton clothes, looking at the only road leading to Huajia Village from time to time.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, he was obviously not the only one who was in the same mood as Mr. Hua. Those who couldn't wait at home couldn't help but go to the village to take a look. There were more people to talk to and they didn't feel that the weather was getting colder.
Hua Chengtian couldn't stay at home after packing up. He hitched the ox cart with his son and planned to pick up his two younger sisters.
When I arrived at the village entrance, I saw my father who was chatting enthusiastically with several uncles, said hello, and drove the ox cart out of the village.
Huajia Village is connected to the official road by one road, so you don’t have to worry about whether you can pick up people if you take a short trip.
It's just that the two sisters are marrying in opposite directions. Unless the two sisters happen to meet together, the possibility of marrying them together is very small.
When they reached the intersection, Hua Chengtian didn't hesitate, just chose a direction and rushed over.
Both sisters have to pick up, whichever one is picked up first is the one, and the other sister will pick up later.
The snow was so heavy that it was difficult for Hua Chengtian to drive the cart faster even if he wanted to, and soon the shafts of the cart were covered with a layer of snow.
It was so difficult for him to drive the car, not to mention his two sisters relying on their legs, Hua Chengtian was a little anxious.
