Du Xiaoling was being fed melon seeds at the beginning, and when she heard the conversations of the adults, she opened her innocent big eyes and asked curiously: "Auntie, who is that figure that Wang Zhiqing saw?"
Shi Chu paused, looking at the fat little girl in front of her with a gossipy look on her face at such a young age, and couldn't help but reflect on whether she had brought up a bad child...
Du Xiaoshi interrupted mysteriously at this time, lowering his voice and said to Shi Chu and Du Xiaoling: "I know! I know, what Wang Zhiqing saw was not a human, but a ghost!"
When Du Xiaoling heard what he said, she was so frightened that she hugged Shi Chu and said fearfully: "Is there really a ghost?"
Du Xiaoshi vowed: "It must be a ghost! Otherwise, how could Wang Zhiqing lie in the bamboo forest all night and not be discovered until daytime?"
When Shichu saw him speaking so firmly, she couldn't help but rub her forehead and asked him: "Why are you so sure that what she saw was... a ghost?"
"Er Niu, Qiang Zi, Xiao Zhu and others said that their parents felt the same way..." Du Xiaoshi said to Shi Chu as if he was taking credit.
Erniu, Qiangzi and Xiaozhu were children about the same age as Du Xiaoshi, and they usually played together. I didn't expect that little kids who were only a few years old would also talk about adults' affairs, which was a bit surprising at first.
But those who deserved to be reminded had to be reminded, so she said to Du Xiaoshi with a serious face: "Du Xiaoshi, there are no ghosts in the world. You must never tell others about ghosts in the future. This is feudal superstition. If you tell others, you will be beaten and punished." If the situation is closed, your father will also lose his job. Not only will he have no meat to eat, but he will not even have food to eat. Our whole family will have to beg for food..."
Du Xiaoshi's face suddenly turned pale when he heard what Shi Chu said. He was young and it was easy to listen to what adults said, not to mention that Shi Chu spoke so righteously.
"I, I'll never say it again." Du Xiaoshi hurriedly covered his mouth after saying this.
"That's good, these messy things are none of our business. We can listen to what others say, but don't make random guesses yourself, okay?" Shichu said this to the two children.
Du Xiaoshi and Du Xiaoling nodded quickly. When Shi Chu saw that they were obedient, he asked them to put some melon seeds in their pockets to play with other children.
After listening for more than 20 minutes under the big banyan tree, Shichu confirmed that Wang Minxi really did not clearly see the dark shadow that harmed her in the bamboo forest that night, and she lost interest.
At almost noon, the gossip team under the big banyan tree dispersed, and Shi Chu also took his two children home to cook.
Before she got home, she saw the courtyard door open. Shichu immediately became vigilant and asked the two children to walk behind her while she went in first to prevent a thief from entering the house.
However, she soon discovered that it was a false alarm, because it was Du Mu who came in. When she saw Shi Chu, she started to scold again with a straight face: "Where did you go to have fun so early in the morning? If you are not at home every day, which house A woman is as lazy as you are? You are already a mother, and you are not sensible at all..."
Shi Chu rubbed her ears and ignored Du Mu's words, going in one ear and out the other. She also took the opportunity to push the two little ones behind her in front of her, so Du Mu immediately had no time to scold Shi Chu. She was busy He was trying to check whether his two grandsons had been abused by Shi Chu, the stepmother.
When I returned to the kitchen to cook, I saw half a pig's foot on the stove, with the hair not even shaved.
"Wan Cao'er, I brought the half of the pig's feet from the kitchen. You cook them for San'er and the two children!" Du Mu's words happened to come from outside.
"I got it." Shi Chu was not surprised at all. She specifically said that she wanted to eat it for Du Zhou and his two children - she was not included in the list of people who could eat it. Du's mother was very dissatisfied with Shi Chu, so she naturally thought it was a good thing. She wanted to leave it for her son and grandson. How could Shichu, the daughter-in-law whom she disliked, eat the food she brought? !
Did you care about this at first? How many pig's feet does she want to eat? She hasn't taken Du Mu's little thoughts to heart yet.
"By the way, San'er's uncle is marrying his daughter-in-law the day after tomorrow, and we are going to have a wedding banquet. Remember to tell San'er and ask him to take leave the day after tomorrow and take you to your uncle's house." Mother Du returned to the kitchen with Du Xiaoling in her arms. , still with a cold face, said to Shi Chu, "I won't be coming over tonight. Remember to tell him, don't forget."
"I know, I will tell him." Shichu promised.
"Going to uncle's house for a wedding banquet?" Du Xiaoling blinked curiously.
"Silly girl, you have to call me uncle. Your father called you uncle!" Mother Du heard her granddaughter's words and couldn't help laughing, pinching her little face and correcting her.
"Uncle?" Du Xiaoling imitated in confusion, "Who is uncle?"
"It's grandma's brother." Du Mu replied.
Du Xiaoling was very surprised, as if he had discovered a new world: "Grandma, it turns out you also have a brother?"
Mother Du was amused by her words: "Of course grandma has a brother, just like you also have a brother."
At this time, the talkative Du Xiaoshi also jumped in and said excitedly: "Then I am your uncle too!"
Du's mother was so amused by his childlike words that she laughed until she lost her sight: "Silly grandson! It will be decades before you want to be my uncle!"
"Why?" Du Xiaoshi was very puzzled after hearing this.
"Because your sister is less than three years old, she will have to wait forty or fifty years to have grandchildren?" Mother Du laughed happily, "Her grandchildren will call you uncle."
Du Xiaoshi was extremely disappointed: "How long will it take for me to be my uncle? I can't wait any longer!"
At this moment, Shichu couldn't help but be amused by him.
Du Xiaoling's eyes rolled around, and he suddenly said whimsically: "Brother, don't be sad, I'll find Xiao Zhuzhu to be my grandson, and let him call you uncle!"
"No, Xiaozhu is too sloppy and he doesn't even wipe his nose. I don't want him to call me uncle..." Du Xiaoshi said with great disgust.
"Okay, okay! You two, your grandson can't be recognized casually. He has to be your own child." Mother Du smiled and interrupted the increasingly outrageous conversation between the brother and sister.
Du's mother played with the brothers and sisters for a while, told Shi Chu not to forget about the wedding banquet, and then left.
When Duzhou came home from get off work in the evening, Shichu immediately told him about it.
"Drinking a wedding banquet?" Du Zhou was a little confused, "Which cousin or younger brother is getting married?" His uncle gave birth to a lot of sons. Only one son got married, and three others were not married.
"I don't know. Your mother didn't make it clear. She just said that our family will go the day after tomorrow." Shichu replied.
"Then I'll go to eldest brother's house and ask Mom after dinner." Du Zhou nodded.
"What gifts do we need to prepare?" I was a little worried at first.
"Wait until I ask my uncle which son is getting married," Du Zhou said.
"Do you still give different gifts to different sons?" Shichu asked curiously.
"Some of my cousins and I are close, some are not close, so the gifts prepared are of course different." Du Zhou said matter-of-factly.
