"This corn is so sweet, I haven't eaten such sweet corn for a long time!" Zhang Xiaofeng happily gnawed on the corn cob.

Suddenly, a figure stretched from the outside into the main room, she raised her head subconsciously, stared at it for a while, and shouted with a smile: "Grandma!"

Carrying a basket outside the door, the thin-faced old man had some doubts on his face. She rolled her eyes to look up and down, but she couldn't remember who the girl was.

"Yuhua, Yuhua!" The old man called out to the kitchen where the smoke was rising.

Wang Yuhua hurried out and saw the old man looking at her suspiciously. She walked up to her and helped her take off the pannier, and said with a smile, "That's Xiaofeng, your granddaughter Zhang Xiaofeng!"

"Xiaofeng? You mean the second girl's daughter?" The old man thought for a while, but still wasn't sure.

Wang Yuhua nodded.

Seeing Wang Yuhua's affirmation, the old man immediately grinned, and her eyes were narrowed into slits on her vicissitudes of face. She turned her head to look at Zhang Xiaofeng, with a delicate and pretty melon-seeded face, and two long braids hanging down on both sides. shoulders, a pair of big black eyes, two thin willow-leaf eyebrows, and those two thin red lips, the more she looked at her, the more she liked her.

"Ah! This girl has grown up so much, I think she was a baby wrapped in a blanket and croaking more than ten years ago!" The old man looked at Zhang Xiaofeng without blinking, and walked up to her.

The old man held Zhang Xiaofeng's face and looked at it again and again, "This girl looks like a person in a painting!"

Zhang Xiaofeng hugged grandma with a smile, let the old man's rough and haggard hands caress her face, feeling the vicissitudes of the old man's years, the hard and grinding calluses made her feel distressed.

"Grandma, you are getting old, don't worry too much, you can let aunt do some things." Zhang Xiaofeng said.

The old man smiled and said, "Hey, I'm an old bone. Why don't you find something to do and sit at home waiting to die? Grandma still wants to watch you get married and have a grandson!"

Hearing these words, Zhang Xiaofeng's heart beat faster unconsciously, and a charming peach blush appeared on his fair face.

In a blink of an eye, it has been two days since Zhang Xiaofeng went back to her grandmother's house. These two days, she went out with Wang Yuhua to plant vegetables and water every day. She really experienced the hard life of a countryman. Although her hands and feet were a little sore, she was very happy.

Wang Yuhua took out a basket of eggs from the room, and on top of the basket was a purse folded from red paper. The purse was bulging, as if it contained something.

"Aunt, what are you doing here?" Zhang Xiaofeng lived in the city since childhood, so she really doesn't know the customs in the countryside.

"Xiaofeng, have you forgotten what you said to your aunt two days ago? I'm going to see Qiwa today." Wang Yuhua said.

"Yes! Auntie, I'll go with you!" Zhang Xiaofeng said with a smile, and helped her auntie with work for two days, but she really forgot about that kid.

Wang Yuhua thought for a while, nodded and said, "Well, let's go together, but you have to help Auntie catch a chicken."

Zhang Xiaofeng looked at the fat chickens leisurely looking for food in the yard, and nodded with a smile. She ran out of the main room. She just saw one and wanted to rush to catch it. As if he understood her intentions, he purposely swayed in front of her for a while and ran away screaming and clucking. After being caught several times in a row, his nose was ashes, and his whole body was dirty.

Wang Yuhua came out of the main room, looked at Zhang Xiaofeng who was running around, shook her head, and said with a smile: "Xiaofeng, this is not how you catch chickens. Come here, and my aunt will teach you how to catch them."

Zhang Xiaofeng looked at the fat chickens with their heads up and their chests up and flapping their wings, and walked to Wang Yuhua's side in a slavish mouth.

Wang Yuhua walked into the kitchen and picked up rice bran, clucking and crowing like chickens, and the fat chickens in the yard ran towards them happily, and Wang Yuhua threw the rice bran into the chickens , those chickens got carried away and ate them, Wang Yuhua walked up to them lightly, and grabbed one casually.

"Auntie is really good, why can't I think of such a good way!" Zhang Xiaofeng looked at the embarrassed look of the caught chicken flapping its wings and screaming, feeling extremely happy in his heart.

Wang Yuhua tied the chicken's feet with red thread and pasted a piece of red paper on it, "Xiaofeng, go get the eggs, let's go out now."

After falling into a coma for two days, Bo Qi slowly opened his sleepy eyes, a little dry, he stretched out his hand and rubbed them, looking at the slightly haggard man sitting in front of the bed, Bo Qi suddenly felt a little sore in his heart.

"Father!" Bo Qi called softly.

When Lao Tzu heard Bo Qi's call, he was drowsy, but he cheered up immediately.

"You son of a bitch, you are finally alive. Look at your current appearance. Since she left, you have been out of your mind every day, and you don't eat. If something happens to you, what will you ask dad to fix?" His face was worried, with tears in his eyes.

Bo Qi lowered his head guiltily, "Father, I'm sorry, I know I made you worry, but when I think of Erya's sad appearance when she left, I can't forgive myself. wrong."

"But things have come out, so what can you do? You still have a long way to go, do you want to live a life of guilt for her? A man has a career besides a woman, and he can't just do it for a woman. You've made yourself lose your mind to do things!" Lao Tzu said earnestly.

After listening to Lao Tzu's words, Bo Qi's eyes were astringent, and the tip of his nose became sour, "I just can't forget her, I can't forget what happened that day, it was so clear, and she cried so sadly."

"Hey!" Lao Tzu sighed softly, shaking his head helplessly, "Your Lao Tzu must have done something wrong in your previous life, and only let you punish me in this life." After finishing speaking, Lao Tzu stood up and walked out of the room with his hands behind his back.

Looking at the slightly hunched back of the old man, Bo Qi blamed himself even more, "I'm useless, I'm really useless, why can't I restrain myself like that!" Bo Qi beat his chest.

Boom, boom, boom!There were two crisp knocks on the door outside the yard.

I turned off the fire in the stove, clapped my hands and left the kitchen, went to the yard and opened the door, looked carefully at the woman in front of me, "Hey! Isn't this Miss Yuhua, come in!"

Wang Yuhua and Zhang Xiaofeng walked into the yard.

"Uncle Bo!" Zhang Xiaofeng called out kindly.

I looked carefully at the girl in front of me, thought for a while and felt somewhat familiar, but couldn't remember who it was.

"Brother Bo, this is my sister's daughter. I'm not on vacation and come back to play and see her grandma." Wang Yuhua said with a smile.

"Huh! Why is it so big, no wonder I think it looks like the second girl of the Wang family!" Bo Qi looked at the delicate and lovely Zhang Xiaofeng, and said with a smile.

Laozi led the two into the house.

"How is Qiwa? Is it better?" Wang Yuhua asked with concern.

Lao Tzu shook his head, frowning, "He's been blaming himself all day long, and I don't know how to persuade him, after all, it's really his fault."

"What's the matter? How did I hear that Erya left after getting engaged to your Qiwa not long ago, is that true?" Wang Yuhua asked in a low voice.

After thinking about it, I attached Wang Yuhua's ears and told her about Bo Qi.

"Yeah! This is really bad! Why is Qiwa so unbearable!" Wang Yuhua was a little surprised, but also a little helpless.

"I don't know, but I thought about it, and I always felt that this matter was very strange. Think about it, Erya is the little daughter-in-law who is about to go out. According to the ancestors, she should not be able to meet her." As for the groom, why did she endure it for so many days, why did she go there that night, and the wife of the Zhang family, I heard that I haven’t seen her in the village since that night.” Lao Tzu said.

Wang Yuhua thought about it thoughtfully, "Indeed, this is quite strange."

"Hey! It's a pity, this Erya is gone, so is Zhang's mother-in-law, I want to find out, but I didn't ask!" I was helpless and entangled.

"Forget it, when things need to be understood, you will always understand. Don't think too much. I want to go in and see Qiwa. Is it convenient for you?" Wang Yuhua comforted with some emotion.

"Go in and talk about him for me, this kid is a dead-brainer until now, so I can't think about it." Lao Tzu said.

Wang Yuhua walked towards Bo Qi's room, Zhang Xiaofeng followed behind Wang Yuhua, Wang Yuhua patted the door lightly, "Qiwa, I'm your Aunt Wang, can I go in?"

Bo Qi came back to his senses.That's right, Aunt Wang's body was stiff a few days ago, and he just wanted to ask if she recovered from her illness. "The door is unlocked, come in!"

Wang Yuhua pushed the door, it opened with a creak, she walked into the room, Zhang Xiaofeng followed her in, and they sat on the chair in front of the bed.

"Aunt Wang, how is your mother-in-law?" Bo Qi sat up and asked.

Wang Yuhua smiled, "Look at what you've become and still care about others. My mother's illness is cured, don't worry!"

Bo Qi forced a smile, "It's fine, then I can rest assured!"

"Sick young man, I didn't expect you to be a doctor who can cure diseases and save lives!" Zhang Xiaofeng looked at him with some admiration and said.

Wang Yuhua gave her a white look, "Xiaofeng, why are you talking like that!"

"Aunt Wang, it's okay, she's right, I'm a sick child now, hey!" Bo Qi sighed after speaking, and the circles of his eyes turned red again.

"Qiwa, don't be sad. I just heard your father talk about you, and I always feel that this matter is too strange. Maybe it's not your fault?" Wang Yuhua said with a little guess.

"I know you guys want to comfort me, but when I think of how sad Erya was crying that day, I feel very uncomfortable. I just can't forgive myself." Bo Qi said.

Wang Yuhua looked at Bo Qi's thin and haggard appearance, and her heart ached when she thought about his strong and rosy appearance before.

After being silent for a while, Wang Yuhua said: "Then you have a good rest, we will go out first, remember to eat, your body is important!"

Wang Yuhua stood up and walked out of the room. Zhang Xiaofeng blinked her eyes and looked at Bo Qi's pitiful look with a playful smile. Suddenly she leaned into his ear and whispered: "Tonight, by the river outside the village, I want to chat with you. Chat, you can come or not, but I will wait for you there."

Zhang Xiaofeng didn't know why, she wanted to help him very much, she said she came to settle accounts with him, but when she saw him, she couldn't get angry, she turned around and left the room.
