Seeing that the little boy was so obedient, Shui Bingyue took out a handful of red mushrooms from her small satchel and handed it to him: "This is a delicious wild fruit for you to eat."
Huo Tingchen caught it with both hands and kept staring at her. Shui Bingyue took one out of her bag and showed him how to eat it.
Mr. Huo felt very happy watching the interaction between the two children. The grandson was finally willing to talk. He had no hope at all, but he didn't expect to meet a destined child here.
Mr. Huo took the initiative to chat with Xiao Qi: "Is Bingyue also the child of the village chief?"
"Yes, there are seven brothers in our family, and the youngest is Bingyue."
"Your father is really capable of giving birth, but in rural areas, there are many children and a lot of labor force."
Xiaoqi shook his head: "That's really not the case. The seven of us brothers, except for the eldest brother and the second brother, are all in school and have limited time to work at home.
That is to say, when farming is busy and school is on holiday, we can work more. Basically it all depends on my dad and my mom. "
"That's because your father is open-minded. Children just need to study more to have a better future."
The conversation was getting heated here, when Huo Tingchen took out a jade pendant from his neck and tried to put it on Shui Bingyue's neck.
Shui Bingyue quickly stopped: "This is your thing, I can't have it."
Mr. Huo turned to look at the two children and found that his grandson wanted to give the piece of jade he had brought with him when he was born to the little girl. He felt very strange.
But the things belong to Tingchen, and he can give them to whomever he wants. Even if he is a grandfather, he has no right to interfere.
Seeing that Shui Bingyue refused to take it off, Huo Tingchen had no choice but to continue wearing it around his neck. He didn't know what to take, so he thanked the little girl for giving her the delicious fruit.
I remembered that everyone used to like him and like to kiss him on the cheek. He turned his head and kissed the little girl on the face.
Shui Bingyue was shocked at that time. Was she being attacked by a little kid? This is the first time I have been kissed by a boy other than my family.
When Xiao Qi saw her sister in a daze, she quickly hugged her and left. I heard a weak cough coming from the room next to me.
Shui Bingyue patted her brother's shoulder: "Let's go there and have a look."
Xiaoqi went to the house with her sister in her arms and saw porridge in the bowl next to the man. I reached out and touched it, but it was already cold.
Somehow, he felt that this man was really pitiful, so he put Shui Bingyue on the kang and said: "Bingyue, sit here for a while, and I will help him heat up the porridge. Not eating anything is not an option."
"good."
Xiao Qi went out with the porridge bowl. Shui Bingyue lay down next to Uncle Shen and saw his eyes close to each other. His trembling eyelashes showed that he was not asleep, and his lips were chapped and bleeding.
Uncle Shen could feel a soft little girl beside him, but he really didn't have the strength to open his eyes.
He wondered if he would die like this in this silent summer night. Then ten minutes later, Xiao Qi returned to the house with the heated porridge, found a wooden spoon, cooled it little by little and fed it into Uncle Shen's mouth.
Uncle Shen didn't know whether it was because the temperature of the porridge was too warm or the sweet smell of the little girl was too gentle, but Uncle Shen actually drank up the entire bowl of porridge.
Xiao Qi then breathed a sigh of relief: "I can eat, it seems there is still a chance of recovery. Let's go home now, Bingyue."
"good."
Shui Bingyue was held in the arms of her seventh brother and they left the landlord's old house together.
The young couple noticed the two children leaving and whispered to each other.
"Xiyuan, the village chief's child is so kind-hearted. It seems that we should be able to live a peaceful life here."
"Qiaoyun, don't have too high expectations for others. Take one step at a time, and no one knows what will happen in the future. If we hadn't trusted others too much, we wouldn't have reached this point today."
Su Mengchen has not been here during this time and has gone up the mountain to find food. After all, the food advanced by the village chief will not last for a few days.
He found some wild sweet potatoes and wild sweet potatoes in the mountains, and also caught a few pheasants, and came back with a good harvest.
After putting things away, clean yourself up and go see Mr. Huo and Xiao Tingchen. Unexpectedly, I saw the two of them chatting.
"Mr. Huo, Tingchen?"
"Much better. Unexpectedly, he started talking when he saw the little girl. Now he is willing to communicate."
"That's good. He wasn't willing to talk to you when I went out." Su Mengchen felt very happy.
Then he handed the washed wild sweet potato to Huo Tingchen: "This is a delicious wild fruit. You can try it."
Huo Tingchen took it, put half of it in his pocket, gave the rest to his grandfather, and ate one himself.
"It's time to go to work tomorrow, I'm going to rest."
"Okay, go quickly, it's getting late."
On the other side, Shui Bingyue returned home with Brother Seven. Shui Shangqing was waiting for the two of them in the yard: "Where did you two go?"
"I went to the landlord's old house." Xiao Qi said honestly.
"What are you doing there?"
"I heard someone say there is a beautiful little brother there, so I went to have a look."
"Then did you see it?"
Shui Bingyue nodded: "We are still talking. I know his name is Huo Tingchen, and he is six years old."
"Okay, go back to bed with dad. Xiaoqi, go back to your room."
"Okay." Xiao Qi quickly handed her sister over to her father and went back to sleep obediently.
Shui Bingyue was carried back to the bedroom by her father and fell asleep.
Liu Xuemei looked at her daughter who fell asleep quickly and said with emotion: "This girl has been very courageous since she was a child. She wants to see everywhere."
"Children are like this. As long as Xiaoqi is with her, it's no big deal. But when she grows older and Xiaoqi goes to study in the commune, no one will be with her."
"When the time comes, let her go to the village to study in the first grade, and she won't run around. The teachers in the school are still very responsible."
"That's right. Let her go to school, so you don't have to worry about her running around." Shui Shangqing thought his wife's idea was a good one.
After the two chatted, they fell asleep peacefully.
Soon, a new day comes. Summer days light up early. At four or five o'clock, the black sky had almost dissipated.
Those decentralized personnel reported to Shui Shangqing and were waiting for him to arrange work. Shui Shangqing looked at it and said, "I'll click on your name. Please answer what you hear."
"Okay." Several people who came responded in unison.
"Huo Junsheng..."
"arrive."
"Su Mengchen..."
"arrive."
"Fang Xiyuan..."
"arrive."
"Lin Qiaoyun..."
"arrive."
"Shen Dongsheng..."
"Village Chief, his health is not good yet, but he can already sit up." Su Mengchen replied.
"Okay, you guys will follow Ershun to open up wasteland in the middle of the mountain. He will leave the details to you."
Then he squatted down and asked Huo Tingchen: "Do you want to play with sister Bingyue?"
"Yes, where should I find her?"
