Chapter 118 The Little Donkey Comes Home
"Huo Junan, what's wrong with you?" Chen Wanniang found her, and Huo Junan was cleaning up the fox skin in the yard.
"Master Su and the others are all guests, and you don't know how to send them here. You are too careless."
Huo Junan seemed to have not heard it, and was only concerned about doing his own thing.
"Did you hear me talking to you?"
Huo Junan only looked back at Chen Wanniang and continued to do things.
Chen Wanniang felt inexplicably. It was almost noon, so she put away the money and went to prepare the meal.
Cold dishes are the most refreshing under the scorching sun. Bake two big cakes and the remaining rice porridge in the early morning is just right to drink when it gets cold.
Three pairs of bowls and chopsticks are arranged.
"Yue'er, call your father for dinner."
"Dad, it's time to eat!"
Xiao Yue'er shouted twice, and then Chen Wanniang saw her running back.
"Where is your father?"
"Dad won't come."
"What is he doing?"
"firewood."
Chen Wanniang was even more strange. What happened to Huo Junan? It was the first time this has happened in such a long time.
She found the bottom of the firewood shed and saw Huo Junan's expressionless face, and axe went down and clicked.
He was full of strength, but his face was not at all expression.
Chen Wanniang realized, "Why do you seem angry?"
Huo Junan paused for a moment and continued to do things.
"Why are you angry?" Chen Wanniang took away the axe from his hand. "Has I done something bad? Even if you are angry, you must explain it to me clearly."
"Not angry."
"Who believes that you are like an ice sculpture now."
Huo Junan finally stopped, "You should like Mr. Su more."
"What nonsense."
Chen Wanniang seemed to understand something, "So you are unhappy now because of that Su Yun."
Huo Junan does not deny it.
"Don't think about it all, Su Yun is just a familiar patient to me. In addition, he is the master of Xiaochen School, so of course we have to be polite to others."
Huo Junan's expression calmed down a little, "It's just because of this?"
"Or what are you thinking."
"It's nothing." Huo Junan's voice was a little small, and his expression was a little dodged, and he seemed a little regretful.
This time Huo Junan felt like a grown-up child.
Chen Wanniang wanted to laugh, but she still held back, pushed him and coaxed him, "Let's go, hurry up and go to dinner, I'm ready."
After lunch, the wind was swept away the clouds and I ate them all.
After noon, Huo Junan was extremely diligent and washed the bowls. He washed all the ingredients he prepared to eat in the evening. He also bought a few melons from outside and came back.
The yard is spotless, and the clothes and quilts have been washed and dried in the yard.
Chen Wanniang couldn't find anything to do. Compared to her busy life in the laboratory for more than ten hours in her previous life, she is really eating melons now... she is so idle.
When she was bored, there was a knock on the door outside.
Is there another patient?
Chen Wanniang got up and went to open the door. The furry donkey hair rubbed against her face. It turned out that her own little donkey had returned.
Chen Cuishan happily held the little whip, and his tanned face smiled and said, "Wanniang."
"Dad, you are here."
"Yes, our watermelons have been sold almost all these days. I thought I wouldn't go to the village. I was afraid that you would use the little donkey in a hurry, so I'll send it back to you."
There were still half a car of green watermelons on the car, and I was afraid it would cost more than twenty.
"Where is my mother?"
"Where is uncle? Grandpa." Xiao Yue'er also poked her head out when she heard the movement.
"Sure, your uncle wants to study." Chen Cuishan said with a smile: "Your grandma also wants to cook for your uncle, so they didn't come."
"Dad, come in."
The door was open, and Chen Cuishan drove a donkey cart into the yard. He was stunned when he came in, "Tsk tsk, this courtyard, this new house is really good."
"I like to come often, dad."
"We think, this is not a bit far away. Your mother also said that this time I will save money and buy a small donkey like you next year."
"Then it's time to get excited, it's easy for us to walk around."
"Father-in-law." Huo Junan also put down his fox skin and walked out to greet him.
Seeing Huo Junan working, and looking at Chen Wanniang's clean and leisurely appearance, Chen Cuishan couldn't stand it anymore.
"Daughter, why don't you work?"
"I want to work, see what else can I do in my family?"
Chen Cuishan was very happy. Good, so good. His daughter married well and had a good life without doing anything.
"Don't hurry to say anything else, remove the watermelon first."
"Father-in-law, that's too much."
"What are you afraid of? I have brought your father's share. You can send it to your father as well. There are 25 of them in total, so you have to give it to your father ten."
"I don't know if I can finish the meal." Huo Junan thought for a while, "I'll give you a few first."
Watermelon is big, he can lift two at a time, but Chen Wanniang is weak and can only hold one at a time.
They hugged three big watermelons and went to Old Man Huo first.
"Ah, such a big watermelon." Old Man Huo was shocked when he saw it, "How could it be so big? I have never seen such a big one before."
"This watermelon variety is different from before." Huo Junan said: "Dad, you have to try it."
"Okay, come on, just let it go, don't bump it."
Wang was also at home, so he didn't care about Chen Wanniang and the others at first, but when he saw someone sending big watermelons, he kept coming over and touching them.
"Jun'an, your father-in-law makes a lot of money to grow watermelons." Wang said, "How much did you bring to you."
What did Huo Junan say? "My father-in-law brought twenty-five of them, and said ten of them were for you."
Wang was happy to hear this, "Don't say it, this in-laws are good at being a human being, they really know how to do things."
Giving watermelons is a matter of things. If you don’t give it, you won’t know what it means.
Chen Wanniang ignored her, "Master-in-law, the things are delivered, we'll go back first."
"You are waiting for me, and I have to see my in-laws." Old Man Huo went back to the house and changed into clean clothes before coming out again.
"You Zhiniang, don't you go and have a look."
"I, that's fine, I'll go too." Wang also followed.
You know, there are ten big watermelons, there are only three here, so she has to take all the rest back home.
Chen Wanniang and the others were walking on the road, and Ma Yulan and several peasant women were also outside.
"Jun'an's wife."
"Hey, sister-in-law, you are here, everyone is here, hurry up and come to my house to eat watermelon. I have a lot of watermelon now, eat it open."
They are very good at some young peasant women nearby. Chen Wanniang brought a group of people back in the area.
So many green watermelons look so embarrassed to touch them.
"Jun'an's family, you are so big and so good, so I'm willing to give it to us."
"Why are you reluctant to let go? Distant relatives are worse than close neighbors? Our relationship is so good, and I'm afraid you will eat it."
Huo Junan had already picked a cooked one, washed it and cut it down with one knife. At that moment, the sweet smell of watermelon came to his face.
