70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 327
It's mid-August now, and it's getting cold earlier here, so after Xie Xiaonian had breakfast the next day, he was going to turn over the ground in the yard and plant vegetables like radishes and cabbages.

As for the vegetable plots they allocated, they could only plant them when the loyal army got off work or rested.

"Mom, I'll dig the ground for you!" Seeing that Xie Xiaonian had been busy, He Heping said, holding a shovel.

"Hey, put down the shovel quickly, what if you hurt your feet? Just this little bit, mom will be done in a while, go back to the house and play with Pancake and Xiaobai, just help mom pay attention to my sister, if she wakes up Call me in time." Xie Xiaonian stepped forward to take the shovel from Heping's hand and coaxed.

"Okay then, I'll go and see my sister!" Seeing that he couldn't help, Heping had no choice but to go back to the house.

Xie Xiaonian is used to planting land in the space, and besides the planned sheep pens, rabbit pens, and leisure and entertainment areas in the yard, there is not much space to grow vegetables, so most of the morning, Xie Xiaonian Just hoe the ground and grow seedlings.

Just after lunch, Zhong Guoquan brought his daughter Zhong Lingling to the house.

When Zhong Guoquan came here before, he didn't bring his daughter with him, so this was the first time Xie Xiaonian saw Zhong Guoquan's daughter.

"This is Lingling, she looks so cute, come, sit here and play with Pancake and the others!" Xie Xiaonian stepped forward and hugged Lingling, and put her on the floor to play with Pancake and the others.

Under this series of actions, the child didn't even look at Xie Xiaonian, neither resisted nor moved.

Xie Xiaonian stuffed a rag doll in her hand, and she just grabbed it stupidly, not playing with it, but not throwing it away, like a puppet, doing whatever she asked.

"Lingling is more familiar with strangers, and her reaction is a bit slow, sister-in-law, don't mind!" Zhong Guoquan said embarrassedly when he saw that his daughter didn't respond, and was afraid of Xie Xiaonian's embarrassment.

"It's okay. It's normal for a child to recognize the baby for the first time. In the future, you will bring the child often and play with us. Don't keep the child at home after school. The child still needs to be with us often. Children of the same age can become more lively when they get in touch with each other!"

"Well, I see, sister-in-law. These are the glutinous rice sticks I bought in the county yesterday, and I brought them to pancakes and apples to try." I ate other people's mooncakes yesterday, and I have to return them.

"Then I'll continue bluntly, apples, pancakes, thank you uncle." Xie Xiaonian said bluntly.

"Thank you uncle, mom, I want to eat!"

"Thank you uncle!"

Although they often eat pancakes as snacks, most of them are made by Xie Xiaonian himself, and they rarely eat things like the glutinous rice sticks they bought.

"Here, let's eat together, don't eat too much, or you will get angry easily!" Xie Xiaonian handed the food to Heping and let them eat by themselves.

"Sister Lingling, here, it's delicious!" He Heping took out a stick of glutinous rice and handed it to Lingling first.

It's a pity that Lingling didn't respond, she didn't move!
"Apple, you can just stuff the sticks of glutinous rice into her hand, she will eat it slowly." Zhong Guoquan knew that although his daughter was very obedient, she was not able to take the initiative to respond, so he said.

But Heping is also stubborn, so he insisted on holding the glutinous rice sticks in his hand, and said softly: "It's really delicious, I won't lie to you, you will know after a taste, go ahead!"

About ten seconds after Heping finished speaking, Lingling was still sitting with her head bowed, but she slowly raised her empty right hand and took the glutinous rice sticks.

Zhong Guoquan looked at the scene in front of him, and his eye circles were a little red. You must know that he had never seen Lingling respond positively, no matter whether he was feeding or dressing Lingling. What is reflected in it.

"It's really great. Since returning to my hometown this time, it's the first time I've seen Lingling reach out to pick up something!" Zhong Guoquan said excitedly.

"I don't think it's because Lingling didn't respond, it's because the adults are too impatient, just like just now, if it were you, before the child could react, you would definitely stuff the glutinous rice sticks into the child's hand, so usually you have to Be patient, and the child will heal slowly." Xie Xiaonian continued.

"Sister-in-law, you are right. I was too impatient. Lingling is different from ordinary children. She cannot be treated the same way. You need to be more patient. I was too anxious before." Zhong Guoquan said ashamedly.

"You don't have to blame yourself too much, just take your time. Lingling can take the initiative to accept it now, which must be inseparable from your hard work during this period of time. In the future, if you have nothing to do, bring Lingling to the house more often. I see her and Apple gets along very well." Xie Xiaonian persuaded.

"Yeah, I'll bother my sister-in-law from now on." For the sake of his daughter's recovery, Zhong Guoquan would come to bother her often, even if he was cheeky.

After Zhong Guoquan left, Xie Xiaonian told the two children: "Lingling was not liked by others since she was a child, her heart is a little closed, and her reaction may be slower than others. You should be patient when playing with her in the future, and get along with her well. ?"

"Got it, mom!" Pancake replied obediently.

"I think Lingling is fine now. Although she is slow to respond, she is very obedient and obedient. I like to play with her!" Heping said seriously.

"Really, that's great. From now on, when Lingling comes home, I'll leave it to you to bring it. I think she also likes to play with your big brother today!"

Xie Xiaonian was very pleased to see Heping being so sensible, she felt like my family had grown up, she really didn't expect Heping to have the potential to be a warm boy.

"Well, okay, I will definitely take good care of sister Lingling." Peace promised.

At noon that day, when Xie Xiaonian was cooking, she suddenly heard a knock on the door. When she opened the door, she found a girl with two big braids and a plaid shirt standing at the door.

"May I ask who you are?" Xie Xiaonian looked at the completely unfamiliar girl in front of him and asked suspiciously.

"I'm He Shulin's niece across from you. My name is He Hongmei. I just came here today to visit relatives." He Hongmei said shyly.

"Oh, hello, hello, is there no one at Deputy Battalion Commander He's house to open the door for you?" Although Zhang Chunping and the children didn't come back at noon, Xie Xiaonian knew that He Shulin would go home and cook for himself at noon every day. There should be no one.

"Yes, my second uncle picked me up. He just went to the cafeteria to cook for me. I'm fine at home, so I came to visit and get to know each other."

In fact, what He Xianghong didn't say was that she was attracted by the smell of Xie Xiaonian's cooking.

She has been on the train for the past two days, and has been eating the cornbread and pickles brought by her milk, but she hasn't eaten well. Just now, when she smelled the aroma of Xie Xiaonian's cooking, her stomach growled uncontrollably.

"Oh, come in and sit down, I'm cooking, don't leave at noon, you can eat at my house!" After all, this is Zhang Chunping's niece, for the sake of Zhang Chunping and his wife, Xie Xiaonian can't drive her out, right?

"Not yet, my second uncle has already gone to cook. Eldest sister, your house is really clean, and you seem to be a clean person!" He Hongmei praised sweetly after entering the house.

"You can just call me Xiao Nian. I usually have nothing to do at home except look after the children, so I can only clean up these few rooms repeatedly. You sit first, I have something to eat, and I will be out soon!"

Xie Xiaonian felt that she was not a few years older than her, so she was not used to being called elder sister, and being called so by He Hongmei made her inexplicably a generation shorter.

When Xie Xiaonian brought the last dish to the table, He Hongmei and Pancake sat at the table consciously waiting to eat, He Hongmei was still sitting on the sofa, showing no intention of leaving.

Xie Xiaonian is also not easy to drive people away, so she greeted with a smile: "I think your second uncle will wait a while, you can eat here first, Chunping's sister-in-law is not at home, I should entertain you for her of."

"You have a good relationship with my second aunt?" He Hongmei asked suspiciously.

"Yeah, your second uncle and my husband work in the same battalion, and our two families live opposite each other. Isn't the relationship closer than other families? Don't be too polite, treat this as your second aunt's house, and sit down and eat together Go!" Xie Xiaonian said with a smile.

"That's it, then I won't be polite!" He Hongmei looked at the delicious food on the table, swallowed her saliva and said.

"Of course you don't have to be polite, sit down quickly, don't be polite, eat whatever you want!" Xie Xiaonian greeted with a smile.

Although Xie Xiaonian cooks several dishes every meal, but the quantity is not too much, each time it is just enough for the whole family, so after greeting He Hongmei to sit down, Xie Xiaonian hurriedly went to the kitchen to make another cucumber.

"Xiao Nian, the fried meat you made is really delicious!"

After the meal was ready, He Hongmei was not polite, she stepped forward and put the largest piece of braised pork into her mouth. While talking, she broke open the Zamian steamed bun and put a few pieces of braised pork into the steamed bun.

"This kind of big braised pork is full of oil and water. Anyone can make it delicious. If you like it, eat more. Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is meat left at home!"

Xie Xiaonian is not a stingy person either, so she didn't say anything about He Hongmei's impolite behavior.

At this time, people are greedy for meat, Xie Xiaonian can still understand.

But because Xie Xiaonian usually restricts the three of them from eating only meat, Xie Xiaonian only cooks hard dishes like braised pork every few days.

The three father and son, who were looking forward to it, saw that He Hongmei had picked up a small half of the braised pork in a short while, and quickly stretched out their hands to pick up a piece, for fear that it would be gone in a blink of an eye.

And He Hongmei listened to Xie Xiaonian's words, regardless of whether others ate or not, she continued to add meat to her bowl, whether it was braised pork or pork ribs, as long as it was meat, anyone would not be afraid.

While stuffing it into the bowl, her mouth was not idle, she took a bite of meat, eating it with relish as if no one else was around.

Xie Xiaonian saw pancakes because he ate slowly, but Xie Xiaonian usually made a rule of not finishing the bowl and not adding more. Seeing the meat on the table getting less and less, he was about to cry.
