reborn at sixty

Chapter 8 9. The Daughter Comes to the Door
In this way, Shui Lian settled down at the old man's house, and after taking medicine for more than a week, her body has almost recovered.

As soon as Shui Lian recovered, she began to help clean up the house. Fortunately, Hong Ying and the others came to help, and it was really like living in this house by letting them clean up like this.

But as soon as she got better, troubles came. The eldest daughter, who the old man hadn't been home for a long time, came back.

The first time the two met each other, Shui Lian gave her a hard look. To tell the truth, Liang Daidi was a little thin, with a disheveled face, protruding cheekbones, and slightly thin lips, which gave off a mean look. Feel.

"Hey, Dad, this is the girl you adopted for more than 30 yuan? Why don't you discuss this matter with us, why do you make your own decisions? Does my brother know about this?"

The old man smoked a cigarette slowly, "Why should I discuss it with you, then you have to come back, how long has it been since you came back to this house, the last time you came back seems to be during the Chinese New Year, right?
Father just thought that this child is also pitiful, and I don't have any company, so I just want to bring this water lotus back, and our father and I can be regarded as a company.

Although Shui Lian is not very old, this house is neatly cleaned up for me, and the daily meals are cooked by this child.

Sometimes I feel that you girls are not as nice to me as the granddaughter I half-recognized..."

It's not that the old man has no complaints in his heart, and it's not that there are hundreds of thousands of miles away. The number of times this girl has come back can be counted on one's fingers, but Liang Daidi is also wronged in her heart.

"Dad, in fact, we also want to come back, but the family really has no money, and there is nothing we can give away. Rather than making people laugh, we might as well not come back.

Alas, there are many children in the family now, and they are all half-children. It is a problem to eat. If you say that I dare to come back, this is not because we heard about you from the people in our village, so we came back to have a look.

Dad, you have done something wrong with this matter. You said that you struggled to support yourself by yourself, and you even picked up a mouth. Wouldn’t life in this family be even more difficult? Knowing that you are like this, I might as well put us together. The family child was sent to you to raise..."

The two men were talking in front of the kang, and Shui Lian was too embarrassed to disturb her, so she wandered around the kitchen next door for a long time, thinking about what to do for lunch.

It's hard for the girl to come back. If she eats vegetable porridge as usual, I'm afraid it's a bit unreasonable.

Besides, he used to be the owner of this place anyway, and she is just an outsider living here, she is very clear about this.

After rummaging in the west room for a long time, I finally brought out three eggs. These were saved a few days ago, and I planned to save some more and sell them for salt.

Scooped out some corn noodles, thinking about some pancakes for lunch, or else I would just eat thin ones, I am afraid the old man would feel bad about it.

Shui Lian was busy in the kitchen, and the old man in the house pushed his daughter out to have a look.

"Dad, I ran all the way here and you asked me to cook. Isn't there that little girl? It's useless to raise her. It's not right to do some work."

Liang Shouwang felt uncomfortable when he saw his daughter's attitude.

"Daidi, let me tell you again, Shui Lian will be my granddaughter and your niece, not an outsider.

With this child, I can help me a lot at home and abroad. In the future, you are not allowed to be careless in front of Shui Lian. You say that you are also a mother, so why don’t you know how to love the child. "

The old man ignored his daughter and came out to help Shuilian light the fire.

Seeing the old man coming out, Shui Lian hurriedly reported to the old man.

"Grandpa, I will order more pancakes at noon, so that my aunt can eat more. If there are any leftovers, I can ask my aunt to take them home for my brothers and sisters to eat. Do you think it will work?"

What the two of them said in the house, Shui Lian more or less listened to it. No wonder Liang Daidi cried poorly. Anyway, there are not many families with enough food at this time.

She can also understand why this cheap aunt would say such things. If she has money to help her get out of Wu's house, she doesn't want her daughter to come over and complain.

The old man smiled and nodded, "Well, our Shuilian will arrange it, just listen to you, and we two will have pancakes at noon."

Her father has come out, no matter how dissatisfied Liang Daidi is in her heart, she must come out and have a face-to-face meeting.

But when she saw Shui Lian working like this, she couldn't help sighing in her heart, it seemed that this child had really suffered in Wu Laosan's house.

She's not big, but she works very quickly, even if she does it by herself, it's probably nothing more than that.

However, she regretted that she didn't plan to do it herself. After running all the way back, she had to cook for this wild child who cost their family 30 yuan. She felt a little pain in her heart thinking about the money.

Shui Lian didn't care about Liang Daidi's lingering eyes on her, and she didn't care about her at all.

After the pancakes were ready, Shui Lian took the steamed radish strips from the pot fork, and then deftly fried an egg dish with onions. This kind of meal was considered pretty good in the farmhouse at this time, after all*** *** Just passed by, and everyone is very satisfied to be able to eat.

"Grandpa, you go sit on the kang, and I will do the rest."

She didn't want the old man to follow along in the kitchen, she could do it by herself, and she didn't expect this cheap aunt to help.

Liang Daidi pushed her father to the front of the kang, "Dad, I think that girl Shui Lian is quite nimble. We can rest assured that she will take care of you in the future."

The old man is satisfied with Shui Lian from the bottom of his heart, "That's right, the average little girl's family is not as capable as my granddaughter, even if the cotton jacket on your father and me is torn, this child can mend it, saving me from troublesome second aunt They're gone."

Liang Daidi glanced at the ragged padded jacket on her father's body, curled her lips, "That's right, with that 30 yuan, you can make many new padded jackets..."

The old man didn't bother to talk to his daughter about what he said to her. If it wasn't for his own daughter, he would have issued an order to evict her a long time ago.

Shui Lian also heard Liang Zhaodi's unpleasant words in the kitchen, but she didn't take it to heart, and she couldn't be angry with such people. She lived with her grandpa in the future, and these people only came back a few times at most. Second-rate.

When eating, Shui Lian tried her best to only eat pickles and porridge, and she didn't even touch pancakes and eggs, although she was also greedy.

"Girl, eat some dry food. Come on, have an egg. Let's have a good meal with your aunt too."

Liang Shouwang added a chopstick of eggs to Shui Lian's bowl, but she was too embarrassed to take it out again, mainly because it was covered with porridge, so she could only smile and nod, "Thank you grandpa, you can eat too..."
