Chapter 26
Hongdou ran for a while, seeing that An Erzhu and Li Jingui did not catch up, so she slowed down and walked home slowly.

With this detour, she was about to pass by the gate of An's old house.

For the old house, the impression of the original owner is not bad.

An Youtian and Mrs. Zhou guard a yard by themselves. They have vegetable plots in front of and behind the house. They also raise a big dog, a cat, and two hens. They live a very comfortable life.

Although the old couple are only in their early [-]s, they don't go to the fields anymore, they just tend the vegetable patch in the yard.

The food I eat every day is brought by my six sons.

A lot of food was sent, and the old couple couldn't finish it.

In previous years, when the times were good, the children of An Hongdou's generation could still eat a few bites when they came to the old house.

In the past two years, natural disasters have continued, and the old couple is not as generous as before.

But everyone in the An family knew that the old couple had been subsidizing An Sizhu.

Not only do they not want his filial food, but also secretly give him a lot.

According to the words of the old couple, the four boys in An Sizhu's family can all eat. If they don't make up for it, it's hard to wait for them to starve to death.

Hong Dou was thinking about this, and he had already reached the gate of the old house.

The gate of the old house was not closed, and a big black dog was lying on the gate basking in the sun.

This is An Youtian's dog, named Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei's mother, Da Hei, was also raised by An Youtian, but she had died of old age a few years ago.

Xiao Hei opened his eyes to look at the red beans, wagged his tail, and closed his eyes again.

Just when Hongdou was about to walk over, someone suddenly called her.

"It's red beans, what did you do?"

Hongdou turned her head when she heard the sound, and saw Mrs. Zhou standing at the door of the upper room, looking at her with a smile on her face.

"Grandma, I'm going to dig some wild vegetables in the mountains." Hongdou replied truthfully.

The smile on Mrs. Zhou's face became even more kind when she heard this, "I'll just say, Hongdou is hardworking."

Don't look at Mrs. Zhou's age, but she walks in a hurry, and as soon as she finished speaking, she was in front of Hongdou.

Zhou's family was also poor when he was young, so he didn't learn how to bind the feet of the ladies in the city.

"Hey, this wild vegetable is really fresh and tender, and it grows well, red bean girl, where did you pick it?" Zhou Shi said, took a wild vegetable, patted it lightly a few times, and stuffed it directly into his mouth .

"It's in the mountain behind, I walked in." Hong Dou didn't mention the depression that Gu Zian found.

Gu Zian kindly took her there to dig wild vegetables, and she couldn't get ahead and tell others the news.

Fortunately, Mrs. Zhou didn't have any doubts about Hongdou's words, and even said with a smile, "You girl is too bold, you are not allowed to go inside in the future, or it will be terrible if you encounter wild animals."

"Understood, grandma." Hongdou agreed with a smile, and she was very happy to care about Zhou Shi in her heart. Regardless of the truth or hypocrisy, it is good to be able to say such a sentence.

"Your grandfather wants to eat wild vegetable pimple soup. I don't have the ability to go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables. If you dig a lot, I will give your grandfather a few. What do you think?"

Hongdou looked at Mrs. Zhou in astonishment when she heard the words, she never thought that she would make such a request.

But Mrs. Zhou is an elder after all, and her request is not too much. She really can't refuse, so she can only agree.

Mrs. Zhou asked Hongdou to wait for a while, but she turned around and entered the room, and came out with a bamboo basket after a while.

Without asking Hongdou to take off the basket, Mrs. Zhou started grabbing wild vegetables directly.

The red beans turned their backs to Mrs. Zhou, and she didn't know how many she had caught, but it definitely wasn't how many she had just said.

After Mrs. Zhou said enough, Hongdou turned around and saw that the bamboo basket was already full.
