Farm girl is busy making money

Chapter 12 Daddy's Day at Home

Chapter 12 The Days When Daddy Was Home

In the second house.

He Jinyi held He Qinmao in his arms, and after a fuss, he fell asleep on his father's shoulder, the corner of his mouth was still dripping, and one side of his face was swollen.

He Qinfeng and He Qinzheng also moved small stools and sat on both sides of their father. Both brothers looked at their father with their cheeks on their hands.He Jinyi can't go home several times a year, working like an old scalper, going out to earn money to support his family.

Zhao Shuangxi sat on the edge of the bed without speaking, and He Jinyi did not speak.

"Father and mother, are you hungry? My brothers and I picked ears of rice to make porridge for mother." He Lanshan hugged Zhao Shuangxi's arms, feeling that her mother was really strong-tempered, although she didn't talk about it in her previous life. I have been in love, but a man should act like a baby and let him make decisions for himself.

How come Zhao Shuangxi is like a saw-mouthed gourd here, and he has to smooth things over by himself.

"God is sorry to see these children love me so much." Zhao Shuangxi had a sore nose, and tears flowed out again, feeling that it would not be good to cry in front of the children, she raised her sleeves and wiped them away.

"Xi'er, if I knew that you had suffered so much, I would definitely come back earlier. That day, the elder brother next door said that it was Xiaofeng who told me to go home. I thought it was the autumn harvest at home, and it happened that the restaurant was busy. Returned a few days late."

He Jinyi frowned, he knew his mother was biased, but he didn't expect to be so partial.

Zhao Shuangxi tilted his head and gritted his teeth to keep the tears from falling down.

He Qinfeng poured the ears of rice out of the basket, but was stopped by He Jinyi. He was a big man who was earning money outside, but he couldn't feed his wife and children. He also felt a little resentful, "Don't bother with this!" There are ears of rice, dad will kill you a chicken to eat later."

"Chicken, where is the chicken...I want to eat chicken legs!" He Qinmao, who was lying on He Jinyi's shoulder, suddenly woke up, his eyes were sleepy, and the swelling on the other side of his face had not subsided, which made people feel distressed and funny.

"Leave the chicken leg to Mao Mao." He Jinyi patted He Qinmao's face, sat him down on the stool, thought for a while and touched Lan Shan in Zhao Shuangxi's arms, "There is also a chicken leg for Lan Shan to eat. "

He Lanshan thought to herself, Mrs. He's chicken is not so easy to eat.

He Jinyi made up his mind, called He Qinfeng to help him, went to the kitchen to kill chickens with a knife.After a while, the people in the second room heard Mrs. He screaming like a pig from outside.

"Second brother, you can't kill my chicken, you still have to keep it for laying eggs!"

……

"Don't, don't, don't, this rooster's gorgeous fur is going to be kept for Chinese New Year worship!"

……

"And my little hen with spotted buttocks that lays the most eggs, and the little black chicken that lays the biggest eggs, ah, my chicken, second child, you unfilial son..."

From the chicken coop, old lady He's wailing was heard, and He Lanshan muttered that He Jinyi had killed a few chickens, which made old lady He feel so distressed.

Another hour later, when the people in the second room were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, He Jinyi brought over a tray.

Stewed rice with braised potatoes and chicken, the rice grains are soaked in the sauce of braised chicken, and become crystal clear and mouth-watering.One bowl of stewed rice for one person, one of which had two legs on it, and was placed in front of He Qinmao's eyes.

"Father, why are there so many...legs?" He Qinmao's eyes sparkled, and he bit his tongue when he accidentally spoke. He picked up the bowl of rice and buried himself in it with a "ahhhhhhhhhhh" sound.

"Maomao eats more legs, run fast in the future, don't be beaten by milk." He Jinyi felt very uncomfortable watching his youngest son wolfing down his meal.

He Jinyi ran a few more times, and successively brought white-cut chicken, soy sauce chicken, and finally a bowl of chicken soup was placed in front of Zhao Shuangxi.He stared at Zhao Shuangxi with a pair of black pupils, eyes full of pity and guilt, "Daughter-in-law, the soup stewed by two old hens will nourish you."

"Jin Yi, how many chickens did you kill?" Zhao Shuangxi stared at He Jinyi. This was the first time her man had disobeyed his in-laws. She was both happy and scared, afraid that it would be bad news.

He Jinyi stretched out his left hand.

"Five, this chicken is Mother's lifeblood, Mother didn't cry and seek death?" Zhao Shuangxi was puzzled, and put her index finger on her pale lips in astonishment.

He Qinfeng gleefully told how He Jinyi came to the henhouse with a knife like a god of death, and when Mrs. He came to stop him, He Jinyi told her not to dare to stop him.

He said that if he is not allowed to kill chickens, he will never go to work in the county again. It is better to stay at home to be filial to his parents and cultivate one-third of an acre of land so that his wife and children will not have enough to eat.

How can Mrs. He do it once she hears it!
Old man He and Boss He were digging in the soil, and they couldn't save a few silver coins a year. The third brother He was doing business outside, and except for the one or two silver coins he brought back in the first year, he hadn't returned home for three years.

The whole family is counting on He Jinyi for food and clothing, especially since He Qinzheng and He Qinhua still have to study!

"Okay, this is what our family should have. Each of you has a chicken, exactly five. Come, Lanshan has a chicken leg." He Jinyi took a chicken leg and put it in He Lanshan's bowl.

He Lanshan's eyes, which were already thin and big, opened even wider, and her father was so cool.

That night, Erfang's chicken was full, and all the chicken feet and wing tips that were so hard to chew were thrown aside, and finally there was only half of it left.

"Hi, mother, daddy is so kind to us, you see daddy didn't eat anything, you can call daddy eat too." Since He Lanshan knew that He Jinyi was not Baozi's daddy, she was probably suppressed by the word "filial piety". He didn't want Zhao Shuangxi and him to have a estrangement, so he took Zhao Shuangxi's arm to intercede for He Jinyi.

"Neng, I'm full, it's rare to go home." Zhao Shuangxi cast a reproachful look at He Jinyi, showing a small smile on his face.

"Hey, hey." He Jinyi replied twice and lowered his head and gnawed on the meat.

He Qinmao touched his protruding belly, licked his tongue around his lips, and said in a childish voice: "It would be great if I could eat meat every day, the meat is so delicious, and milk can beat me every day." .”

He Jinyi couldn't swallow the meat in his mouth.

"Don't take what the child says seriously." Zhao Shuangxi comforted He Jinyi with a soft tone when he saw He Jinyi was uncomfortable, but He Jinyi had already run out of the house and disappeared into the night, presumably wanting to calm down for a while.

He Lanshan asked tentatively, "Mom, why can't we live separately from grandma and grandpa!"

Zhao Shuangxi was so frightened that she covered He Lanshan's lips, "My dear girl, don't mention this again, or your grandma is going to throw herself into the river. After all, people are born, old, sick and die one day, I'm still young , there is always a bright future.”

The implication is to endure until the day that Old Man He and Mrs. He die.
