Chapter 4 The Hidden Sweet Potatoes
The aunt heard what her mother said, and said angrily: "Mother, look at how you have spoiled the girl Walnut. How can I say that I am also an aunt!"

Listening to her daughter's words, grandma glanced at the pouting walnut, and said: "Okay, don't be bothered, walnut, you are hungry too! I will heat the rice for you in the pot, go and eat some! It's over!" Good sleep."

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was still bright, Walnut crawled out of the bed, hurriedly dressed and went to the ground, went directly to the kitchen, and walked out carrying the last few sweet potatoes borrowed by grandma yesterday and eaten by aunt The house, looked around in the yard, and then went directly to the back of the haystack and opened the haystack to hide the sweet potatoes.

After finishing all this, Walnut walked back to the house. At this time, grandma had already woken up and was getting dressed, looking at Walnut who came out of the door, she asked, "What are you doing, Walnut? It's not bright yet? "

Hearing grandma's question, Walnut glanced at her aunt and two cousins ​​who were still asleep and said, "I'm going to the latrine. Grandma, why don't you sleep a little longer, we have to wait for a while before dawn."

After hearing this, grandma said, "No, get up early. I'll go to your uncle's house to see if I can get some food. There's nothing to eat here. Your aunt and cousin are here again. You can't go hungry, right?"

When Walnut heard that grandma was going to the uncle's house to ask for food, she hurriedly said: "Grandma, don't go, even if you go to the uncle and want to give it to him, you can't be the master of the aunt. Even if you take it, the aunt will inevitably make a fuss. Grandma, yesterday Don't you have some food and sweet potatoes left in the evening? In the morning, you can deal with it first, and I will figure out a way at noon."

Grandma sighed after hearing what Walnut said. She knew that although the girl Walnut was young, her words made sense.I have no choice but to give up here.

The sky was bright, and the chickens in the village began to crow. Aunt Walnut opened her eyes, dressed the two children, and got off the kang.Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang ran out of the yard to play. Aunt Walnut saw his mother busy in the kitchen, walked in and said, "Mother, why did you get up so early!"

Grandma Walnut said: "It's still early, Walnut has been going to the beach to dig crabs for a long time, you girl has been married for so many years, why are you still so lazy!"

Listening to her mother's words, Aunt Walnut smiled and said, "Mother, I've been like this all my life, although you love me the most."

While talking, Aunt Walnut opened the rice cooker, and when she saw that there were two leftover sweet potatoes in it, she looked up at her mother and said, "Mother, just this little sweet potato is enough for anyone to eat. When you are growing your body, you can't lose it. I'm going to get some sweet potatoes to cook."

After finishing the words, Aunt Walnut turned around and walked towards the bag of sweet potatoes that was placed yesterday, but when she got to the front, she found nothing, and she didn't find anything after searching around, she turned her head to look at mother and asked, "Mother, where are the sweet potatoes? "

After listening to the walnut grandma, she looked at it and sighed and said: "I let the walnuts be hidden. She said to keep them as seeds. Let's make it for breakfast. She will find a way at noon."

After listening to her mother's words, Aunt Walnut immediately became unwilling. She looked at her mother and said, "This dead girl, I said that she is the same as her dead mother. I'm not wrong at all. Why is my heart so black? Come back to see you, and I’m still angry with this dead girl, mother, let fifth brother come back! Get rid of her dead girl, the province’s eldest brother and second brother won’t give you food, if she wasn’t here you wouldn’t Why don’t you suffer so much and have no food to eat.”

Hearing what her daughter said, Grandma Walnut glanced at her and said, "You can't talk nonsense, my brother. It doesn't matter if your brothers don't give me food and walnuts. If you dislike the lack of food this morning, I don't care." Eat it, give it to your mother three times, it doesn't matter if I eat more or less."

Hearing what mother said, Aunt Walnut took a look at the kitchen and walked out of the house. When she came to the yard, she began to look around. When he came to her, he said, "Mom, what are you looking for?"

Aunt Walnut said: "Look for sweet potatoes. Your elder sister Walnut has hidden sweet potatoes. She doesn't want to let us eat them. Let me look for them."

Da Zhuang Er Zhuang listened to his mother's words, hehe smiled and said: "Mother, we can help you find it.

In this way, the three mothers began to search in the yard, and within a short time, they heard Er Zhuang shouting loudly from behind the haystack, "Mother, mother, sweet potatoes are here!"

Aunt Walnut pulled the sweet potatoes out of the haystack and carried them back to the kitchen. Grandma Walnut could only sigh when she saw this, but she had no choice.

The breakfast was quickly prepared and placed on the table. Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang ran to the table and sat down. They stretched out their hands to hold a big sweet potato and ate it.

Grandma Walnut sighed when she saw this, and Aunt Walnut took a medium-sized sweet potato from the plate and handed it to her, saying, "Mother, don't sigh, let's eat!"

The walnut nurse took the sweet potato and put it next to her bowl and chopsticks, filled a bowl of porridge and drank it.

They were sitting at home eating, and Walnut came back from the beach with a basket on his shoulders. With a smile on his face, he pushed open the fence gate of his house, walked into the yard and came into the house.

Seeing her coming back, Grandma Walnut hurriedly put down her rice bowl, looked at Walnut and said, "I'm back, hurry up and eat, you're hungry!"

Walnut smiled and said, "Grandma, I'm not hungry yet, what do you think I caught at the beach?"

As he spoke, he took out a sea turtle the size of a plate from his basket and showed it to grandma.

As soon as she took it out, her aunt yelled loudly with her mouth full of sweet potatoes, "Walnuts are a good thing. It's nutritious to make soup."

Walnut listened to her aunt and looked up at her with a smile. She was about to say something, but when she looked at the cooked sweet potatoes in front of her aunt, her smiling face suddenly pulled down. Looking at the entire dining table, Walnut immediately put down the basket, ran out of the house, and ran to the place where he hid sweet potatoes behind the haystack.

When he ran to the haystack and opened the place where he hid the sweet potatoes, his face showed a crying expression, and he stared blankly for a while.

Grandma Walnut watched her run out, and followed out with some worry. When she saw Walnut peeling away the haystack, she knew that the child was looking at the sweet potatoes she had hidden. She sighed and walked away helplessly. In the past, he said: "Walnuts, I took them out. After eating them, grandma is going to borrow some from other people's houses. Don't be sad."
