The little girl's skin is a bit dark, her cheeks are red, and she wears a pair of braids. Seeing Sheng Ning looking at her, she shrank her head timidly, her eyes full of fear.
"You scared her." Sheng An held Xiao Hong and stared at her defensively.
Sheng Ning suddenly realized that she used to be a and she probably frightened Xiao Hong.
That's why she is so afraid of herself.
Since Sheng An didn't want to send Xiaohong back to his grandparents' house, Sheng Ning didn't say anything. A large pot of boiling water was burned with firewood, and after all three of them had washed up, she couldn't insist on going to bed.
I didn't rest well on the train last night. It was bumpy all the way, and after walking for so long, my double eyelids had already been fighting.
I
Sleep well at night, and when she gets up the next morning, Shen Luhua has already cooked the food in the kitchen. Sheng An brought Xiao Hong to feed the chickens in the yard, and a dozen old hens clucked.
When Sheng An saw Sheng Ning coming out of the room, he snorted and didn't speak.
As if she hadn't seen it, she turned her head and went to the kitchen. "Mom, what is delicious?"
When Shen Luhua saw her, she rubbed her hands nervously and said, "It's cornmeal porridge with lotus leaf soy sauce that I just marinated. It's better not to dislike it."
"Why? I like it very much." She hadn't eaten authentic cornmeal porridge for decades, and she moved her index finger when she smelled the aroma.
"How was the village chief's wife last night?" She was asleep last night, and she didn't know when her parents came back.
"Stomach bleeding, I'm still lying in the hospital now! My natal brothers came last night." Shen Luhua whispered: "You two are too courageous. Can we provoke the village chief? Let's talk about him. Tall man, what if a fist really hits your face?"
In the hospital, after hearing the description of the neighbor, Shen Luhua was frightened
didn't sleep well all night.
"I'm sorry, I just look at the village chief's wife." Sheng Ning also knew that he had caused a disaster. And she was really too courageous at the time, and she was afraid to think about it.
"You can't be blamed for this."
"Then my dad..." She worried that Daddy was angry, in case he was off.
"It's okay, I think although your father didn't say anything along the way, he looked happy."
Sheng Laosan came back from feeding pigs in the backyard, and just passed the kitchen when he heard the mother and daughter talking, the corners of his mouth cocked.
His daughter did the right thing, which made him proud. Just ignore your own safety, this point must be criticized.
During the meal, Shengning ate two bowls of cornmeal porridge. The whole family was stunned when they saw her posture. The coldness in Sheng'an's eyes has also faded a lot.
"Girl, isn't it hard for the art troupe?"
"No, it's great." Sheng Ning put down the bowl and wiped his mouth satisfied.
"Then when are you going back?" The third son of Sheng looked at her blankly, afraid that she could not go back.
After roughly estimating the time, Sheng Ning concealed the news of the accident and said relaxedly: "Half a month!"
"That's great, great!" The whole family was very happy, but the eyes that Sheng Laosan looked at Sheng Ning made her feel confused. It seems that his lie has been exposed.
After breakfast, Sheng Lao San and Shen Luhua went to work in the field, and Sheng An took Xiao Hong to dig pig grass. Shengning is an idler at home, which makes her a little uncomfortable.
"Ningning, do you wash your clothes!" Shen Luhua said understandingly.
"Oh! Good!"
Sheng An was about to go out with the basket on his back. Hearing the conversation inside, he turned around and said, "Mom, can she wash the clothes? Don't forget to let her wash the clothes last time and give your best coat. Throw it away. Our family is poor and can't afford new clothes."
