Chapter 12 Pretend to be pitiful and show sympathy

Grandpa Tie Niu is still the same as usual, he goes hunting in the mountains when he has nothing to do.

But Qiao Jiarong discovered that Grandpa Tieniu only hunted some small animals, such as pheasants, hares and so on.I have never seen him hunt any big prey, and I don't know if he can't catch it or he doesn't want to hunt it?

No matter what reason Grandpa Tieniu only beats small animals, it doesn't affect her repaying her life-saving grace in her previous life.

There are still a few days to harvest rice, maybe I can help Grandpa Tie Niu cook a meal, sweep the ground or something.After all, when the farming season is busy, everyone is busy harvesting, so there is no time to clean up the house.

Grandpa Tieniu is alone, so he has no time to do these chores.

However, Grandpa Tieniu has never saved himself in this life, so maybe he won't accept it.How about pretending to be pitiful first to win Grandpa Tie Niu's sympathy?Then break into the interior step by step?

You can try it, and if it doesn't work, think of another way.

Early the next morning, Qiao Jiarong changed the cassock into the tattered and short form it was before.

Then, he messed up his hair and ran to Qiao Tieniu's house.When he came to the thatched hut where Qiao Tieniu lived, Qiao Tieniu was closing the door and preparing to go hunting on the mountain.

Every family is not rich these days, and they usually eat vegetables from their parents.Only a few people can eat meat in normal times, but only occasionally.

For example, during the busy season of farming, those families with good conditions will buy some meat at this time to supplement the labor force at home.

In fact, Qiao Tieniu was not short of money, he didn't use the settling allowance he was given when he was discharged from the army.I usually don't buy clothes or meat at all, and all these years I wear old military uniforms from when I was discharged from the army.

The food and vegetables are all grown by the family. If you want to eat meat, you can go to the mountains to hunt some game, and you don’t need to spend money at all.

He now has more than enough money to rebuild a big house, but he doesn't want to, thinking it's a waste of money.

Qiao Tieniu thought that he was just a bad old man with one arm.Why live in such a nice house?That's not enjoying life, that's just getting yourself into trouble.

After Qiao Tieniu closed the door, he turned around and saw Qiao Jiarong, who was dressed in rags, hiding behind a tree and watching him secretly.

He knew this child, the unfavored granddaughter of Qiao's fourth family.

I heard that the child was not doing well in Qiao's fourth family.But this has nothing to do with him, let's hunt more prey and come back while we are not busy these few days!After drying, save it for busy farming and Chinese New Year.

Qiao Tieniu glanced at Qiao Jiarong, and then walked towards the back mountain with the trap digging tools on his back.

Seeing that Qiao Tieniu had left, Qiao Jiarong was not discouraged.Instead, she stayed where she was and waited. She believed that as long as she persisted, she would definitely win Grandpa Tieniu's sympathy.

As long as Grandpa Tie Niu sympathizes with her, she can come here often in the future.

After a long time, Grandpa Tieniu won't drive her away after he gets used to it.

Qiao Jiarong waited in front of Qiao Tieniu's house while using small stones to deduce the formation there.Others will not be surprised when they see it, they will only think that she is playing with stones.

Qiao Jiarong calculated the formation for most of the day in front of Qiao Tieniu's house, and waited until the next evening for Qiao Tieniu to come back from the mountain, carrying two hares and a pheasant in his hands.

Seeing Qiao Jiarong still sitting at the door, Qiao Tieniu stepped forward and asked, "Little girl, why don't you go home so late?"

Qiao Jiarong looked at Qiao Tieniu deliberately pretending to be pitiful, and after a while, he whispered, "Don't dare to go home."

"Don't dare to go home? Why?" Qiao Tieniu asked puzzled.

"Grandma will kill me."

After hearing Qiao Jiarong's words, Qiao Tieniu didn't ask any more questions.He knew that the child was having a bad time at home, but there was nothing he could do.If he interfered, it would only make life more difficult for the child.

But it's okay to give your kids something to eat.

So, Qiao Tieniu said to Qiao Jiarong: "Then you eat at Grandpa's first, and then take you home when you are asleep at home, so that you won't be beaten."

That's not necessarily true, in the previous life.No matter how late she came home, she couldn't escape the beating.Qiao Jiarong lowered his head and thought in his heart.

However, Qiao Jiarong didn't intend to tell Qiao Tieniu about this.She came here to repay Grandpa Tieniu, not to trouble him.

Qiao Jiarong followed Qiao Tieniu into his thatched cottage.

The thatched cottage is very simple, only two.The outer one serves as a kitchen and the inner one serves as a bedroom.

After entering the house, Qiao Tieniu put down his things and said to Qiao Jiarong, "Wait here for a while, I'll kill this pheasant. We'll have roasted potatoes with pheasant at night."

"Okay, Grandpa Tieniu!" Qiao Jiarong responded obediently.

A kind smile appeared on Qiao Tieniu's weathered face, and he went to the house to take two candies and put them in Qiao Jiarong's hands.Then, he went out with a pheasant and a knife.

Qiao Jiarong didn't eat the two candies. After she put the candies in her pocket, she went out to watch Qiao Tieniu kill chickens.

Seeing Qiao Jiarong approaching, Qiao Tieniu hurriedly changed direction and said, "Little girl, don't come over, be careful that the chicken blood splashes on you."

After hearing Qiao Tieniu's words, Qiao Jiarong didn't come closer, but just stood there quietly.

Because Qiao Tieniu hunted all year round, he was able to kill chickens with ease.It didn't take much effort to clean up a pheasant, and then washed it twice in a basin before taking it to the kitchen to stew.

Qiao Tieniu chopped a lot of firewood when he was alone, and usually used it for stewing meat or when the weather was bad.

Putting the firewood into the stove and starting to stew the chicken, Qiao Tieniu started to wash the rice and cook while the chicken was stewing.

Then I took some potatoes to wash. The potatoes grew at home and were not big.Therefore, Qiao Tieniu took a lot.Don't peel the skin, just wash off the mud on the outside.

Because the potatoes are small, Qiao Tieniu only picked some big ones and cut them twice with a knife, and put the others directly into the pot to cook.

Qiao Jiarong watched Grandpa Tieniu busy all the time, but he didn't find a chance to help.Originally, she thought she could help light the fire.Unexpectedly, Grandpa Tie Niu burned the firewood directly, and did not need anyone to light the fire at all.

Qiao Jiarong felt a little sorry, she was here to help.In the end, it was a disservice.

Grandpa Tieniu not only ate the pheasants he had hard-earned, but also used the firewood he kept for the winter.Now, Grandpa Tieniu is going to go up the mountain to chop firewood and hunt wild again.

During dinner, Qiao Jiarong was a little absent-minded, thinking how could she help Grandpa Tieniu?

Qiao Tieniu, who was sitting across from her, saw her in a daze, knocked on the table and said, "Eat quickly! I'll take you home after dinner."

"You don't need Grandpa Tieniu, I can go back by myself." Qiao Jiarong hurriedly refused.

You can't bother Grandpa Tieniu any more, you should find another way to repay your favor!Qiao Jiarong thought while eating.

After eating, Qiao Jiarong didn't wait for Qiao Tieniu to speak.Get up quickly to clean up the dishes, Grandpa Tie Niu has been busy all day, let's do these small things by ourselves!

Seeing Qiao Jiarong put away the bowl, Qiao Tieniu didn't say anything.

In the countryside, it is normal for children to wash dishes and clothes.After Qiao Jiarong finished washing the dishes, Qiao Tieniu took out his watch and checked the time, only to find that it was only after eight o'clock.

It's still early, and Qiao Laosi and the others must not be asleep at this time.Will the child be beaten if she is sent back so early?
