Chapter 4

"Dad, I have business with you." Xiao Hua said while knocking on the door.

"Wait a minute." Then Xiaohua heard rustling sounds outside the door, guessing that her father was getting dressed.

"Come in~" Hearing her father's voice, Xiaohua opened the door and walked in.

Jiang's father yawned and turned on the light. Xiaohua saw that her father's expression was not very good, and she was secretly annoyed. She seemed to have picked the wrong time.

Jiang's father patted the bed with a smile, motioned for Xiao Hua to sit over, stroked her head, and asked softly, "Xiao Hua has something to do with Dad?"

"Father, are you going to see a doctor?" Xiao Hua said directly.

Jiang's father was taken aback, turned his eyes away in embarrassment, did not dare to look directly at Xiao Hua, and scolded in a low voice: "Don't listen to people talking nonsense, Dad is not sick."

"I've heard everything you said to your mother last night. You said that you want to give me away, sell the house, and don't want medical treatment. You want to raise the little tiger to my aunt. My aunt is so fierce. Dad, I'm afraid. "Xiaohua hugged Jiang's father tightly, she really didn't want to leave...

"Xiaohua, listen to me, you got it wrong, dad is really not sick, don't worry, okay?" Jiang's dad didn't know what to say, he just laughed.

"I've read your medical records, and I've asked Grandpa Zhao, stomach cancer is advanced, I know what it is." Xiao Hua lowered her head a little sadly.

Jiang's father was a little overwhelmed and didn't know how to tell his daughter.

"Dad, you don't want to go to the hospital, so let Grandpa Zhao show you, okay?" Xiaohua then asked.

Father Jiang never thought about how to talk about this issue with his daughter, so he kept silent.

Seeing that her father didn't speak, Xiaohua became anxious, and tears fell down.

"Xiaohua, don't cry~ don't cry~~ Whatever Xiaohua says, dad will do, Xiaohua...don't cry...be good...don't cry...don't cry, Xiaohua, dad is wrong, dad is wrong, don't cry Ah..." When Father Jiang saw his daughter crying, he was completely helpless, he became flustered, and made promises indiscriminately.

Xiaohua raised her head, looked at Father Jiang, and asked seriously, "Dad... you go... next... let Master Zhao... treat you...?"

Jiang's father nodded and hooked Xiaohua. Seeing that Xiaohua was smiling through tears, he rubbed her head, picked her up and sat on his lap, and said, "Don't worry, Xiaohua, Dad will take good care of you. You are still young, don't think too much, you know?"

"En!" Sitting in her father's arms, Xiao Hua felt drowsy comfortably, listening to her father's gentle comforting voice, she fell asleep after a while.

……

The nose is so itchy~~Rubbing... rubbing...why is it still itchy?With a wave of the hand, there was a sound of "pa--", and then I touched the soft, still hot, and twisted it... Mmm... It feels so good...

"Wow—" Why are people still crying?Xiaohua opened her eyes impatiently, only to see Xiaohu, covering her face and looking at herself with teary eyes, thinking that she seemed to have hit something just now, she was a little guilty, and twisted it...

"What are you doing beside my bed?" Xiaohua preemptively asked Xiaohu.

Xiaohu sniffed, "Huh—" and left, Xiaohua hurriedly dressed and got up, and chased after him.Xiaohu has a big temper, even when Xiaohua handed him the milk, he ignored Xiaohua.

Xiaohua followed him all the time, and it took Xiaohu angrily to accuse him: "I told you to get up, and you beat me!"

"Sister didn't do it on purpose, really, I promise!" Xiaohua raised three fingers, seeing that Xiaohu was still unmoved, she quickly stretched out her face and said with a smile, "Why don't you call me back?"

"I won't hit you, men can't hit women!" Xiaohu said righteously.

'man? Xiaohua looked at Xiaohu N times from head to toe, but didn't find any masculine temperament. Suddenly seeing Xiaohu was not very happy, Xiaohua hurriedly said: "Xiaohu is really smart, I know that. It's amazing!"

"Don't hit me in the future!" Xiaohu demanded with his eyes wide open.

"Hmm! Sister, try your best. Next time when I'm sleeping, stay away from me and call me. I'm not careful. I promise, as long as you don't make mistakes, I will never hit you..." Xiaohua explained.

Xiaohu thought for a while before saying: "Okay! Next time I will call you when I stay away from you."

Seeing that Xiaohu forgave herself, Xiaohua breathed a sigh of relief, washed her face, brushed her teeth, ate, and began to teach Xiaohu how to write again.Xiaohua thinks that Xiaohu is very smart, and never imagined that Xiaohu would become the incomparably simple and honest younger brother in her impression. She thinks that the things she learned are too small, so she changed into Fang Zhongyong~~~ She must educate him well, and she must not let him He lived a life of earning money by physical strength.

"Sister, haven't you recovered from your illness these two days? Why did you wake up so late?" Xiaohu asked during the break.

"Didn't my sister just recover from her illness? Her body is quite weak, so... she will be fine in two days." Xiaohua was a little ashamed, she did sleep a little too much, and didn't wake up until noon.

"Sister, is she making excuses for her laziness?" Little Tiger said eagerly.

"Damn boy, you dare to laugh at me, hurry up and write..." Xiao Hua became a little annoyed.

Xiaohu picked up the pen with a smile, and suddenly said: "Sister, I have a question for you?"

"What do you think?" Xiaohua said a little lecherously.

"Well, sister, do you know, is the rooster or the hen more powerful?" Xiaohu asked innocently.

Xiao Hua was taken aback, what kind of strange question is this?He tentatively said, "Uh... the rooster is bigger, so it must be because the rooster is powerful?"

"Hee hee ~ sister, you are wrong, it should be the hen is good." Xiaohu said proudly.

Xiao Hua looked puzzled and asked, "Why?"

Xiaohu rolled his eyes and said cheerfully: "Aunt Zhang is better than Uncle Zhang, Mom is better than Dad, sister, you are better than me, you are all female, of course the hen is better~"

"Damn boy, you want to beat—" Xiaohu ran away after saying that, and the angry Xiaohua chased him after him and beat him.After catching Xiaohu, Xiaohua asked her to write her name and his name ten times each as a punishment.

Seeing that Xiaohu was almost done writing, Xiaohua let him go out to play with Xiaomei and the others.He locked the door by himself, went to Grandpa Zhao's house again, and said that his father would come back in a while, so he would take him there to see a doctor.Grandpa Zhao agreed.

Dad got off work very early today, and Xiaohua was just about to take him to show Grandpa Zhao, but Dad said, "Not today, tomorrow is Mommy's Qiqi, and I want to invite Ling tonight. After learning that Xiaohua has already told Grandpa Zhao, let her go again." Go and say it once.

Seventh day in rural areas is very important, the sound of trumpets, cries...there is a sound, Xiaohua and Xiaohu are all dressed in filial piety, kneeling before the coffin, kowtow to everyone who comes to see their mother, and kowtow to their mother People fight back, Xiaohua is okay, Xiaohu can't hold on after a while.

"Xiaohu, sit down for a while, and you have to go with Dad to ask for the spirit later." Xiaohu is a boy, and according to the custom, he has to go to his mother's grave to ask for the spirit, which means to pick up his mother's soul.

It's almost time for people to come, Dad took Xiaohu, and Xiaohu walked to his mother's graveyard holding his mother's seat, crying as he walked... which made Xiaohua also teary-eyed.

After Dad and Xiaohu left, an aunt brought a bowl of tea to Xiaohua, and taught her how to cry after the person who invited the spirit came back. Xiaohua couldn't help crying after listening to the auntie's words, and missed her even more. Mom, it would be great if I could really pick up my mother.

"Hua, don't you dare? You have to cry like that for a while before your mother can come back. Don't cry now!" The aunt hugged Xiao Hua and coaxed her.

Xiao Hua cried for a while, although she knew that the crying that followed was fake, but it was a custom, she had to follow it, and she really hoped that her mother could come back to see her.

When the spirit came back, Xiao Hua took the tea bowl, knelt at the door, and cried, "Mom~~ You come back~~ Come back... have another... drink... daughter... pour it for you... Tea, come back...Mom, I miss you...you...come back...come back...woooo..."

Shouting here, Xiaohua couldn't keep shouting any more, she just started to cry "Woooo...", the aunt next to her kept motioning for Xiaohua to pour the tea on the ground, but Xiaohua didn't respond, she just knelt there and cried, so anxious that the auntie He hurriedly walked up to her and told her that Xiao Hua just foolishly poured the tea on the ground.

Next, Xiaohu placed the rankings on the altar, and everyone began to burn paper for Xiaohua's mother. The paper was almost burnt, and only the helpers went back. According to the custom, Xiaohu can't sleep that night, so he has to burn incense and candles for his mother.In the countryside, girls are not allowed to go to the incense table, so Xiaohua can't help Xiaohu, but Xiaohu is too young, so his father helps him, let Xiaohua take Xiaohu to sleep, Xiaohua is too young to compete with her father, so she can only take Xiaohu to sleep.

The next day, as soon as the rooster crowed, Xiaohua hurriedly pulled Xiaohu up from bed. Xiaohua had to talk hard before letting Dad go to rest, and she directed Xiaohu to do the rest.

After [-] o'clock in the morning, the helpers came, Xiaohua hurriedly called her father to say hello, it was not a big deal, and she only invited people to eat and sit at the table in the hundred days, and a few aunts went to Xiaohua's house to order noodles for everyone. After eating, he followed Xiaohu and his father to send his mother back, which is commonly known as sending off spirits, and this time Qiqi was considered finished.

Xiaohu is very sensible. From yesterday to now, I don’t know how many times I knelt and kowtowed, but I didn’t slack off or cry, which made Xiaohua very distressed. She was wearing thin clothes in summer. He took a large piece, secretly thankful that he had prepared thick pants for him.

There were leftovers from the noodles that had been placed in the morning, and her father cooked an egg for each of them, and sent them to rest after eating. Xiaohua asked Xiaohu and her father to go to bed, and she started to clean up. Forced him to rest again, and said that he would go to Grandpa Zhao to see a doctor later.

Seeing Xiao Hua's persistence, Jiang's father was a little relieved and also a little distressed. He secretly planned to follow Xiao Hua's wishes first, and it is estimated that the child would not be able to persist for long.
