Thinking of Sibao's happy eating that night, Aunt Yu also knew that Jiang Er treated Sibao really well.

So Aunt Yu handed over the unheated salary to Jiang's second hand: "Since you helped Sibao that night, then Auntie's wages today will not be given up, and this is also Auntie's thanks to you."

Jiang Er didn't answer, but glanced disapprovingly at the copper coins handed over by Aunt Yu, and took a step back and said, "It's okay, you deserve these wages, and I appreciate your thanks."

"That's so embarrassing, I just want to..."

"Go back early, I still have things to do, let's go first."

Aunt Yu opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Jiang Er directly.

After finishing speaking, Jiang Er didn't care about Aunt Yu's reaction, and left first with a group of big men pulling ox carts

Aunt Yu was left by the pond pinching the copper plate in her palm nervously, but she didn't care about it any more.

From the present point of view, Jiang Er was really a difficult person to talk to, but he didn't expect to be so kind to Sibao.

Back home, Liu Xiulian was preparing dinner, and Sibao and Yu Xiaoqing, one big and one small, were playing in the yard. The men didn't come back, but Yu Wuya, who never stayed home, came back.

After the sun set, there was no light in the room, and it was very dark. Yu Wuya hid quietly by the corner of the table, which scared Aunt Yu who came into the room to get clothes, her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

"You dead girl, what are you doing hiding here, trying to scare your mother to death?"

Aunt Yu patted her chest and looked at Yu Wuya intently, and saw Yu Wuya sitting with her head buried on the ground, her thin body shaking.

It looked like she was crying.

Aunt Yu didn't know why, so she stretched out her hand to scratch her face, wanting to see what was wrong with her, but when she took it and turned around, she saw that Yu Wuya's face was muddy and dirty.

"What's wrong with you, tell mother, why are you hiding here and crying?"

Yu Wuya raised her head abruptly, seeing Aunt Yu crying even louder, she cried and said, "Other people's children have candied haws to eat, so let me forget if I don't have to eat, and they still have to greedy me in front of me."

After listening to Yu Wuya crying, Aunt Yu patted her on the back with some distress. Although this little girl is not very obedient and sensible, in the end, Yu Wuya is only ten years old, and it is normal to be greedy.

There is no candied haws for sale in the village, so you have to go to the town to get them. The Yu family only goes to the town to buy something once every half a month.Besides, the family can't earn much money throughout the year, and the money is held by the old man of the Yu family, so it is impossible to have spare money to buy snacks for the children in the family.

Candied haws is a bit expensive in the eyes of Aunt Yu who has saved half her life, so children from rich families can often buy and eat them.

"What's so delicious about that thing, you might as well eat a few more bowls of rice to grow your body."

"I knew you wouldn't buy it for me. If you don't buy it, I won't look for you anymore." Yu Wuya said to Aunt Yu angrily, sniffling her nose.

Aunt Yu was angry with her, so she raised her hand and patted her on the shoulder, saying angrily: "How delicious can the candy skewers be? It's still boiled with rock sugar, so you have to spend this money Is it comfortable to buy it?"

Yu Wuya turned a deaf ear and buried her head in anger.

Seeing her like this, Aunt Yu didn't bother to talk to her, and went out without even taking her clothes.

Seeing her mother coming out of the house, Sibao walked quickly towards the kitchen, which made Sibao a little puzzled, looking inside the room and then at her mother's back.

Why are you so fierce, and you have to quarrel, it's really troublesome.

Sibao glanced at Yu Wuya in the room, and thought of the candied haws they mentioned just now. She had never eaten it, so she didn't know what it looked like, and she didn't know if it was delicious.

I want to eat a little bit.

Not long after, Yu Dabao and his father came back from their work in the field. As soon as they entered the door, the old man of Yu's family hugged the chubby Yu Xiaoqing and teased him with a smile.

Yu Dabao glanced at his father strangely, but didn't say anything.

On the contrary, Yu Xiaoqing, who was being hugged, pushed the old man Yu with his small hands in disgust, and said in a childish voice: "It's all sweat, don't want grandpa to hug you."

The disgusted old man Yu looked worried, and put Yu Xiaoqing on the ground unhappily, causing Yu Xiaoqing to lose his footing and sit on the ground.

Yu Dabao on the side hastily stretched out his hand to help him.

Holding him steady, Yu Dabao said to his father with a serious tone: "Father, how old is Xiao Qing, and he speaks like a child, do you dare to treat him like this?"

"What's wrong with me? I hugged him kindly. How dare he despise me for coming?"

Old man Yu's old face was flushed with anger, he stared at Yu Dabao and his son and said sternly.

The young Yu Xiaoqing burst into tears in fright.

Yu Dabao didn't care about arguing with his father, he hurriedly picked up Yu Xiaoqing who was frightened and crying, and softly coaxed him.

Liu Xiulian, who was working in the kitchen, heard her son crying, and ran out in a hurry. Seeing that her father-in-law and husband looked different, she didn't say anything, and only reached out to take the crying Yu Xiaoqing from Yu Dabao's arms.

Aunt Yu's gaze swept around old man Yu and Dabao Yu, and finally she focused on her crying grandson, and sighed silently.

This made old man Yu very dissatisfied, but he had no choice but to enter the main room by himself.

Yu Dabao also went to the backyard to feed the sheep.

Yu Xiaoqing stopped crying after being coaxed by his mother for a while, with tears still hanging on her chubby little face, she was placed by his mother to sit beside the Four Treasures.

Sibao poked his head to look at the main room, then looked back at her little nephew whose eyes and nose were red from crying, and raised his hand to gently touch his head.

It's so pitiful, such a cute fat baby was frightened by the old man's fierce face.

Yu Xiaoqing wiped his tears with his chubby hands, and then smiled at Sibao: "Look, sister, I'm fine, grandpa is fierce and ugly."

Yu Xiaoqing smiled, with a disgusted expression on his face, Sibao smiled along with him, made a disgusted expression on his face, and nodded towards him.

Agree.

In the evening, Yu's family had a very embarrassing dinner, and no one at the dinner table spoke.

Yu Erbao, who came back later, didn't know what happened at home, and he didn't dare to talk and eat quietly because of the atmosphere.

After the meal, the people at the table dispersed quickly.

Yu Wuya was still thinking about the candied haws, but she didn't dare to mention it in front of the angry old man of the Yu family, so she kept her words in her mouth and ran back to the room.

Aunt Yu had already lit candles in the room, but there was no sign of Aunt Yu. Yu Wuya glanced at Sibao's bedside, and then at the couch where she and Aunt Yu slept.

Something was pressed under the pillow, and Yu Wuya's eyeballs rolled restlessly.

Not long after, Aunt Yu brought Sibao into the house, Sibao followed quietly with the wooden bowl in his hand.

After entering the room, Aunt Yu filled the bathtub in the cubicle with hot water, and grabbed Yu Wuya who was lying on the bed to take a bath for her.

Yu Wuya reluctantly pushed Aunt Yu's hand away, snorted, and ran down from the bed by herself.

Seeing her like this, Aunt Yu also knew that she was still at odds with her about the candied haws, so she let this dead girl go.

Sibao next to her was eating her dinner spoonful by spoonful. Aunt Yu walked up to her, sat down and asked her in a low voice, "Sibao, the person who baked sweet potatoes for you last time was Jiang Er?"

"Ok?"

Hearing Aunt Yu's words, Sibao snorted out of his nose in great reaction, stared blankly at Aunt Yu, his head spinning.

The delicious sweet potatoes are cooked by Jiang Er, who is fishing.

"Is that Jiang Er?" Seeing Sibao staring blankly at her, Aunt Yu couldn't help asking again.

Only then did Sibao nod his head, yes, it is Jiang Er, he is a good-looking person.

Although she already knew it was Jiang Er, seeing Sibao nodding now, Aunt Yu felt quite surprised.

Aunt Yu understood the question, but after she asked Sibao, she remembered the delicious sweet potatoes and Jiang Er who was nice to her.

The man clearly said that night that he wanted to bring himself to play, why didn't he come?

Sibao lowered his head in distress, he didn't even feel the deliciousness of the food in the bowl.

Early the next morning, the weather was much cooler than the previous few days. After breakfast, Aunt Yu took Si Bao to the lotus pond in the east of the village.

Sibao was very excited, she looked left and right along the way, and when she was about to reach the entrance of the village, the big jujube tree attracted all her eyes.

Compared with the previous few days, the jujubes on the jujube trees today are much more ripe, not as green as that day, but now the jujubes are white, green, white and green, with some inconspicuous yellow.

Sibao liked it so much, he stopped there and refused to go any further.

Aunt Yu didn't know what was wrong with her, she tried to keep walking, but she couldn't.

I had no choice but to follow her gaze to the jujube tree, and I saw the ripe jujube at a glance, so I couldn't help asking her.

"Sibao wants to eat that jujube?"

Sibao nodded, thinking in his heart that yes, he wanted jujube.

Aunt Yu understood, so she took Si Bao to the jujube tree while the sun was still not high.

"There is no bag, let's pick a few and taste it."

Aunt Yu raised her hand and tore off a clump of dense branches with dates mixed with leaves, which was very attractive.

Sibao raised his hand high, reaching for a jujube on the top, wondering if he listened to Aunt Yu's words.

After picking off a handful, Aunt Yu withdrew her hand and put the branch back, while Sibao still looked up and looked at it reluctantly.

Sibao held two jujubes in total, one in each of his left and right hands.

Aunt Yu gave her all the ones she picked: "Mother picked them for you, let's go to the lotus pond to wash and eat."

Then, he took the four treasures to the lotus pond.

Along the way, Sibao held a lot of jujubes in his hands, and he didn't clamor to eat them, but just squeezed them tightly in his hands.

Arriving at the lotus pond, Aunt Yu changed her shoes to go down to the pond and start digging lotus roots, and then thought of washing dates for Sibao to eat.

Then he reached out to grab the jujube in Sibao's hand, but Sibao refused, so he held the jujube in his arms and shook his head at Aunt Yu.

Aunt Yu saw that she couldn't snatch her like this, so she could only say: "If you don't wash it, you can't eat it."

Seeing her mother nodding obediently, Sibao shook her head slightly.

OK, then don't eat.

Seeing her promise, Aunt Yu felt relieved and went down to the pond to dig lotus roots.

Several other aunts came over one after another, they were all from the same village, and they all knew each other in the neighborhood. Now seeing Yu Sibao sitting under the willow tree by the pond felt extremely novel.

The aunt who was lazy yesterday walked up to Aunt Yu and asked her in a low voice, "Why did you bring your fourth child here today?"

There was some joking in the words, Aunt Yu frowned and looked at her, then quickly turned her head, and said unhappily: "I can rest assured that she is here, will she not get in the way?"

The woman had never seen Aunt Yu speak in such a tone, she was not happy at the moment, and said in a blunt tone: "How can this get in the way." She is stupid and stupid.

The aunt didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence, she just murmured in her heart.

Aunt Yu was too lazy to talk to her. She looked at the large lotus pond and estimated that it would take about two days to dig it completely.

Finish the work here early, and the field next to the house is also in harvest season. It is better to spend time digging the lotus root than to waste your time here.

Sibao was sitting in the shade under the tree, and she held the jujube in her hand to play with. Her white and delicate fingers looked much better than the green and yellow jujube.

After looking left and right at the jujubes in his hand, Sibao stuffed them all into the small pocket on the front of his clothes, and shook his head to look at the green lotus leaves in the lotus pond.

The lotus leaf is so big, and the sticky soil sticks to my feet, which makes it uncomfortable to watch. The things dug out of the mud should also be unpalatable.

Sibao thought so.
