Chapter 213 Barbecue
When sending the family out, Wang Zhuangzhi walked beside Yao'er, and said a word in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Yao'er nodded when she heard the words, and looked at Third Uncle to signal that he understood.
Wang Zhuangzhi patted his head, took out a silver ingot from his sleeve, covered it with the sleeve and secretly stuffed it to him, then stroked his mouth with his index finger.
Instruct him to keep it for himself, don't tell his parents.
Wang Yaozu didn't want to take the money from the third uncle, but the third uncle had already handed it over. If he continued to argue and returned it, his parents would surely find out. Looking at the loving eyes of the third uncle, his heart felt warm, and then he pursed his lips and held it tightly. silver.
Although there is no shortage of food and clothing at home, but my mother is very strict with the money, and rarely gives him pocket money on weekdays, and the mother who is given by the uncle and aunt will take it away directly. So when he was in school, he never carried silver taels with him.
The classmates all have pocket money, and when they go out to buy books together, he is always out of place. It's not that he can't afford it, but that his mother is strict with him. No matter what he buys, he has to get his mother's approval, and in the end, mother will buy it for him.
From clothes to books, from head to toe, everything from small to large.
He was very tired of this kind of life, and became more and more rebellious, especially when he saw the warmth of his third uncle and aunt getting along with his younger brothers and sisters, he was envious from the bottom of his heart.
"Third brother, the sun is scorching hot, you guys go back quickly." Wang Qinghe said.
Wang Zhuangzhi nodded, patted Wang Yaozu and said, "Yao'er, now I have found the door, and I will treat it as my own home in the future."
Yao'er's eyes turned red for a while, she nodded and replied with a choked up voice: "Understood, Third Uncle."
Wang Zhuangzhi didn't want to make him cry, but seeing people like this, he quickly smiled and said, "It's okay, come again if you want."
Xu Meishuang also felt that her son was too close to the third child, and she felt a little displeased, so she shouted, "Yao'er, get in the carriage quickly."
"Third Uncle and Third Aunt Qiusheng Brother, goodbye."
Wang Yaozu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, reluctantly bid farewell to the third uncle's family, and then boarded the carriage with his parents.
When the whole family left, Wang Zhuangzhi looked at the leaving carriage, thinking of Yaoer who was still eating at the dinner table at noon, he couldn't help but feel a little empty in his heart.
Qiu Sheng entered the yard, Liu Zhihua turned around and wanted to go back to the house, seeing that the head of the house was still staring at the carriage, she raised her hand and pushed him, "Why are you looking at all the people gone?"
Wang Zhuangzhi shook his head helplessly, and said, "Yao'er looks lively and cheerful on the surface, but I feel that the child is hiding something in her heart, she is very sensible, and it makes people feel distressed."
Liu Zhihua sighed when she heard this, and said angrily: "With such a mother, it's not bad if the baby doesn't look crooked."
Wang Zhuangzhi choked, thinking that his second sister-in-law was a bit helpless.
"Forget it, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, let's go back."
As soon as they entered the yard, Xiao Li came out rubbing his eyes.
"Father, why is Brother Yao missing?"
Liu Zhihua went forward and smoothed his fried hair, and said casually: "Yaoer's father and mother took him back."
Xiao Li put down his hand abruptly, his big round eyes were full of surprise, and then he was disappointed. He finally found a friend who likes to read story books as much as he did, but when he woke up, he had already left.
"Mother, when will Cousin Yao come back?"
Hearing Xiao Li's reluctance, Liu Zhihua comforted him: "I will come when I have time in the future."
Xiao Li nodded dejectedly, "En."
...
this end,
Jiaojiao was still asleep, Erya had a long sleep, and after waking up, she was busy feeding the fish, if Xiao Li hadn't said that cousin Yao was gone, she wouldn't have noticed.
Compared to Xiao Li's disappointment, Erya didn't take it to heart at all.
After all, he is a cousin who just met, and in the eyes of Erya, he is also a distant relative, neither familiar nor close, so naturally he doesn't feel anything.
"By the way, I forgot to tell dad about the bamboo pole."
Thinking of this, Er Ya ran to tell Dad, and Wang Zhuangzhi agreed happily when he heard about it, and went directly to the back mountain to dig a few strong bamboos.
It took more than an hour to finish polishing, and while it was still early, I helped to do some rough work in the backyard.
The sun was already setting when Jiaojiao woke up, she got up sleepily from the bed, the room was empty and a little dark, her big black eyes were a little empty, and she felt an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart.
"Meow meow." Jiaojiao called softly.
Bai Miaomiao was holding grilled corn in the yard and chewing on it. When she heard Jiaojiao calling it, she squeezed open the door and ran in.
It held half a piece of corn in its two paws, and asked with a puffy mouth, "Jiaojiao, you're awake, are you hungry?"
Jiaojiao pouted and shook her head, smelling the aroma of roasted corn in Miaomiao's hand, she got up from the couch and went to the ground.
"Meow, where did you get the corn?"
Bai Miaomiao replied: "Your sister and the others are roasting in the backyard and are still torturing. Do you want Jiaojiao to eat?"
Jiaojiao thought for a while and nodded, then bent down to pick up Miaomiao and walked out the door.
As soon as I went out, there was a burst of fresh fragrance in the air outside, a bit like the smell of fresh mushrooms.
Jiaojiao raised the corners of her mouth and went straight to the backyard.
What the Wang family ate tonight was different from the past. They made a simple stove and baked whatever they wanted.
In the backyard, there is a stove surrounded by iron sheets. The firewood inside is very lively. There are bamboo poles on it, and various ingredients are placed in the bamboo poles.
Some are directly steamed, while others are brushed with oil and make a sizzling sound.
There is a table and chairs next to it, and the whole family is there except Jiaojiao.
The sky gradually darkened, baked food was placed on the table, and everyone else was busy, while Er Ya and Xiao Li were eating big corn cobs.
Xiao Li was the first to see Jiaojiao walking in, "Sister! You're awake."
Seeing the excitement here, Jiaojiao smiled on Bai Nuo's little face, nodded in response to the younger brother and said, "Yeah."
Liu Zhihua was marinating pork belly, when she saw Xinganbao, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Baby, find a stool and sit in the back and wait, the fresh mushrooms my mother baked will be ready soon."
Sweaty Wang Zhuangzhi also said with a smile, "Father will cook a bowl of sweet water custard for Jiaojiao, and I will be able to eat it later."
Jiaojiao nodded obediently when she heard this, and replied in a waxy voice: "Okay."
Erya held the corn cob in her mouth, inserted the half corn next to it with chopsticks, stepped forward and handed it to her younger sister, gnawed on the corn and said, "Baby, try this grilled corn, it tastes better than boiled corn." .”
Jiaojiao had never eaten corn like this before, so she took it curiously, and then tried to take a bite.
Well, the outer skin is a bit hard, but it is quite delicious to chew.
"Jiaojiao, here is chrysanthemum water." Qiu Sheng scooped up a bowl of warm chrysanthemum water.
Chrysanthemum has the effect of reducing fire and improving eyesight. Jiaojiao mentioned it to her elder brother yesterday, and unexpectedly, her elder brother cooked it today.
Jiaojiao happily went up to drink a bowl, then slowly gnawed on the corn, her little face was round when she was chewing, which made the whole family very curious.
