77 Going to Grandma’s Home
After Little Ah Yu cried, she felt much better. w.a.n.g Wulang and the others asked clearly. It turned out that it was the new kid who made Ah Yu cry. They all shouted that they wanted to beat him up to vent her anger.
Ah Yu shook her head. “You can’t hit him. Little Brother didn’t hit me, so don’t hit Little Brother.”
He just didn’t like her.
Little Ah Yu knew that not everyone in this world would like everyone.
Although she really liked everyone.
w.a.n.g Wulang scratched his head. “Then Fifth Brother will catch more fish for you. Let’s roast fish and ignore him!”
w.a.n.g Liulang and w.a.n.g Qilang even caught a lot of wontons for Little Ah Yu.
There was a small tadpole in the bamboo tube. Little Ah Yu looked at the dark tadpole and was stunned.
“Wow, a black little fish.” Little Ah Yu was pleasantly surprised.
w.a.n.g Wulang corrected, “It’s a tadpole. It’ll become a frog when it grows up. It eats bugs.”
Hu Xiaotong was also fishing. Not only that, he also knew how to fish out the snails in the paddy field. The snails were good Chinese medicine materials.
Doctor Hu would also purchase snails from the villagers all year round. When everyone caught any, they would send it to him.
Most of them did not accept money. When Doctor Hu treated patients, he would also exempt them from some medicine fees.
Little Ah Yu’s eyes lit up. When w.a.n.g Wulang and the others were not paying attention, she held the spatial pocket several times.
“Elf, I want to raise tadpoles!”
It knew it.
The spiritual water turned into a small ditch. After flowing through the Myriad Spirit Soil, the two sides nourished each other, and the Myriad Spirit Water there became better.
However, this Myriad Spirit Water could not be drunk. It could only be irrigated and could only be drunk from the stone bowl.
She resigned herself to fate and led the tadpoles into the ca.n.a.l. It was better not to see it.
When she grew up and understood the value of the spatial pocket, she would despise these things.
Little Ah Yu was playing happily when Liu Shi came looking for her. She saw Little Ah Yu rolling up her sleeves and holding up her pants as she stepped around the waterhole by the river.
She said helplessly, “Ah Yu, didn’t we agree last night that we would go to Grandma’s house today? Why did you turn into a little dirty cat?”
Only then did Little Ah Yu remember that before she went to bed, her mother had said that she would come over.
However, her Fifth Brother had pulled her to look at Uncle Dumpling early in the morning. Later on, her heart was broken by the little brother, and she forgot about her mother.
“Fourth Aunt, I’m sorry. I forgot to remind Ah Yu.” w.a.n.g Wulang quickly admitted his mistake. His mother had also returned to her family today, but she did not bring them along.
Therefore, no one restrained them, so they could keep playing by the river.
“Mother, Ah Yu knows her mistake…” Little Ah Yu followed w.a.n.g Wulang and apologized quickly.
Liu Shi: “Let’s go back and change first. Let’s go to Grandma’s house.”
Under the cliff at the entrance of Hu Family Village, there was a river after walking for another half an hour.
Strictly speaking, the river the children were playing with was only a small stream about ten feet wide.
The river water was not deep and only reached the waist of an adult. Children liked to play here.
Through the undercurrents in the mountain, they gathered together and finally formed a waterfall by the cliff, entering the main river.
Liu Shi cleaned up Little Ah Yu with the water by the river before leading her back home to change her clothes.
Little Ah Yu also had a new set of clothes. It was the cloth that Old Madam w.a.n.g had distributed. She had gone to the county city to buy it previously.
Most of the cloth Zhang Zhan gave was made for the men, while the cloth bought by Old Madam w.a.n.g was distributed to the women.
The remaining cloth and the ones given by Old Madam w.a.n.g were just enough to make clothes for the wives and grandchildren at home.
She said to them, “You know the situation at home. If you want more, I can’t take it out.
You can do whatever you want with the cloth that was distributed to you.
Whether you want to use them to make your own clothes, leave them for your child, or bring them to your family, I won’t ask.
But you have to consider it carefully. Who knows when the next time we get materials again will be?”
The women all had their own thoughts, but Old Madam w.a.n.g did not care.
Liu Shi originally wanted to leave all the cloth for Little Ah Yu as the adult cloth could make two more sets of clothes.
Later on, she thought that since she had to bring her daughter to visit her family, these fabrics might be of use. Therefore, she stuffed all the fabrics into the bag.
Even the 10 catties of food, 500 grams of meat, and 500 grams of pig intestines that Old Madam w.a.n.g had distributed were placed in the basket.
Liu Shi’s family was in the village at the foot of the mountain in Zhongyu Town. It was about 30 miles away from Hu Family Village and the territory was relatively open.
w.a.n.g Chuanman thought about how they would go over in the morning and walk for four hours. They would be able to miss Elder Yue’s family’s lunch and return in the afternoon.
This year, every family’s life was not good. Sensible people would not stay to eat at other people’s houses.
Little Ah Yu changed into new clothes and sat on w.a.n.g Chuanman’s neck. Her face was like a flower as she smiled brightly.
Before leaving the village, many people asked her where she was heading to. Little Ah Yu replied crisply, “Ah Yu is going to Grandma’s house!”
Mother had said that Grandma was Mother’s mother.
Although Ah Yu had never seen her before, she felt that Grandma must be like Mother, warm!
When they set off, they pa.s.sed by the door of Hu San’s house. Third Aunt Hu saw them and asked.
Little Ah Yu was still smiling as she replied.
When she saw Qin Huai sitting in the courtyard, she subconsciously wanted to call him “Little Brother.” Thinking that he did not like her, Little Ah Yu snorted again and turned her head to the side.
She was not going to call him Little Brother anymore.
Her love for Little Brother was like the fruits in the bag. It was squashed!
Thinking of the fruits, Little Ah Yu felt very, very sad.
Meatball took the opportunity to teach her a lesson. [Kid, don’t pounce on others casually in the future. If they don’t catch you, you’ll fall and break the things in your bag.]
Little Ah Yu thought about it. That’s right. If someone acted like Little Brother again, her little bag would be so sad!
Moreover, her hand would hurt.
Her stomach also would hurt.
When Qin Huai pa.s.sed by Little Ah Yu, he tightened his grip on the few candies in his hand. Thinking that Little Ah Yu was calling him, he looked at her reluctantly.
There was candy in his luggage. He had bought it from the stall selling candied fruits before coming here.
He did not like candy at first. When he saw the candy, he suddenly thought of the little girl who was smiling happily and subconsciously bought it.
“She probably doesn’t know anything. I must have misunderstood her.” Qin Huai lowered his eyes and thought, “As long as she calls me, I won’t suspect her anymore.”
However, Qin Huai waited for a long time. When the little girl finished greeting everyone and shouted this and that, even Chi Jia received a sweet “Uncle Chi Jia”, but she did not call him.
Qin Huai clenched his fists.
“Young Master?” When he pa.s.sed by and saw Qin Huai hanging his head, he hurriedly called out to him, “Are you feeling unwell?”
Thinking that Young Master might be interested, Chi Jia added, “By the way, the little girl from the w.a.n.g Family said that she’s going to her Grandma’s house. She’s already out of the village!”
Qin Huai looked up at Chi Jia but said nothing.
He merely pursed his lips and stood up to leave.
Chi Jia blinked and muttered, “Why do I feel that Young Master’s gaze is not right?”
He was like a fox that had been wronged.
“Let’s go to Grandma’s house!” On the main road outside the village, w.a.n.g Chuanman carried a basket on his back and Ah Yu on his shoulder. However, he ran very quickly as if he did not know how tired he was.
“Grandma’s house, Grandma’s house!” Little Ah Yu also laughed out loud. She grabbed w.a.n.g Chuanman’s hair and laughed like a lark.
Liu Shi slowly followed behind. A smile flashed across her eyes, but she was also a little worried.
Could they really hide it from her family?
