Chapter 12 Return to the Garden

"Xiao Wu, come here." Mr. Ling finally couldn't stand it.

In fact, as soon as he heard that his most distressed little granddaughter came back, he was already happy and wanted to run out to greet him in person. However, thinking that she hadn't received a letter for so long, she was a little angry and deliberately put on her face to see how she dealt with herself. Unexpectedly, as soon as Shaohua entered the door and invited Mr. Ling, he didn't pay attention to him anymore. Instead, he had a good chat with Uncle Ling. While talking to Ling and others, Mr. Ling cared about Simo's reading. After waiting for a long time, Shaohua didn't say anything, so he couldn't help pulling his face down.

But he didn't know that Shaohua was actually very guilty, as if he had bumped into the owner as a thief. When he spoke several times, he would secretly glance at Mr. Ling. But she just doesn't know how to speak so that she won't be found. After all, she was brought up by Mr. Ling, and there is no reason not to find it.

Being named, Shaohua had to bravely and slowly rubbed over. After thinking about it, he shouted softly in a coquettish tone with Uncle Ling: "Grandfather..."

The father and daughter of the Ling family look very similar, especially those eyes, which are round and big, bright and bright. White hair will not make him look old, with round hair and thick arms, beautiful apricot eyes, and a straight face like an angry King Kong. Everyone looked at Mr. Ling like this and silently wiped a sweat of sympathy for Shaohua.

"You have no conscience. You agreed to write to your grandfather when you get home. It's been a year and you haven't written a word." Mr. Ling wrinkled his face like an old naughty boy, but when he heard Shaohua's soft call, his heart immediately softened, but his tone was still smelly.

Shaohua was a little surprised. Looking at the powerful and serious Mr. Ling, he spoke so playfully, with a little complaint in his reprimanding tone. Not to mention that she didn't know anything about writing a letter, even if she remembered it, she didn't know what to write, but looking at Mr. Ling's angry face, Shaohua's worries suddenly swept away. In her opinion, Mr. Ling is just a grandfather who can't get the attention of his beloved little granddaughter.

She tilted her head and giggled, "I forgot."

Although it was expected, seeing Shaohua say so, Mr. Ling couldn't help saying angrily, "I knew it. When I get home, I don't miss my grandfather?" Mr. Ling's angry tone was like a child who couldn't get candy. The two brothers of the Ling turned around silently and pretended not to see it. The two sisters-in-law of the Ling family tacitly pulled Wanhua and asked questions. Anyway, everyone present knows the old man's nature, and sometimes it's good not to break it.

Shaohua said without thinking, "Yes, it's conceive, but I can only hide in the quilt and cry."

Ling also nodded and echoed: "Yes, this girl, when she just came home, often hid in the quilt and cried, and asked her but refused to say anything."

The mother and daughter sang together, which made Mr. Ling look better and said with great pain, "Good girl, just tell me if you want and ask your mother to send you back." Naturally, Shaohua would not admit that she cried because she was homesick, but not Pu'an. However, seeing that the old man was very happy, she was also happy to pretend to be stupid, and the atmosphere eased. Mr. Ling said, "Why did you come so suddenly without saying it in advance?"

It's not a festival, and now it's not a spring day. I received my daughter's family to go back to my mother's house for no reason. The old man was happy and couldn't help but be more careful.

Ling pushed Li Xunzhuo and didn't want to speak. Li Xunzhuo had to say to his father-in-law, "Something happened in Beijing, so I came out and walked away."

Mr. Ling looked at his daughter's son-in-law with a wrong face, as if he was turning over a book and sinking his face. Standing up, with his hands behind his back, he said to Li Xunzhuo and his wife quietly, "You two and I come to the study." With everyone's understanding of Mr. Ling for many years, this must not be a good thing. Uncle Ling patted his clothes on the pretext of going to see what happened to the tenants on the ridge yesterday. Ling's second uncle also said to follow him. Bo Yan invited Si Mo to go to the study, and Ling's second aunt took the initiative to lead the way to the three girls.

"Come on, I'll take you to the house. In order to wait for you to come, this house is cleaned every day." Ling's second aunt and Ling's second uncle are very married, but one is thin and fat, and the other is short, which looks particularly funny. She looked at Jinhua with a smile, "You are Qi Niang, aren't you? I'm really sorry. I didn't expect you to come too. Why don't you have an ear room next to the room where Xiaowu used to live? It's quite bright and clean. You can pay attention to it when you go there. I'll clean up the house for you later?"

"How embarrassing is this? I have to trouble my second aunt." Jinhua said politely.

Second aunt Ling is an untwisted person. Hearing her say so, she nodded, "That's it."

Jinhua was actually just a polite word. Unexpectedly, Ling's second aunt cut off her words in a reasonable manner, making the second half of her sentence stuck in her throat, neither swallowing or spitting. Wanhua looked at it proudly, caught up with the footsteps of Second Uncle Ling and secretly said, "Second aunt, your move is really awesome."

Unexpectedly, Ling's second aunt raised her eyebrows proudly, "Your mother has written to you a long time ago. Don't worry, your grandfather won't let you be wronged." She still has a good impression of this married sister-in-law. Since she was bullied at her mother-in-law's house, she naturally did not go back to her mother's house and be wronged.

Ling's second aunt arranged them and let them play by themselves. In the whole garden, except for Mr. Ling's yard, there were only three of them.

"Third sister, what will my grandfather say to my father?" After Shaohua threw things to the maid, he took Wanhua out to walk in the garden and familiarize herself with the place where she had grown up. Although I don't remember, I still feel very friendly.

"What you say is not what we should know." Wanhua shrugged her shoulders and immediately said that she had not returned to Pu'an for a long time and asked Shaohua to take her around.

Shaohua proposed: "Let's go to Brother Boyan." Wanhua does not object,

Come out of the garden, the green flower room, around the arch, you can see Bo Yan's residence, green bricks and green tiles, and the grandchildren of the Ling family live here. However, at this time, all of them were sent to study in the clan, so the Ling family seemed quiet and empty.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they passed the arch, they saw Boyan and Simo talking and laughing, holding a bamboo basket and holding a few thin poles in their hands, ready to go out. Shaohua hurriedly asked, "Where are you going to wear this outfit?"

Simo showed a rare happy appearance, "Third sister, fifth sister! My cousin said he would take me fishing for shrimp!"

"Aren't you going to pick vegetables?" Shaohua was quite moved by Uncle Ling's proposal.

"You are serious." Looking at Shaohua nodding like garlic, Bo Yan laughed and said, "There is no dish you can pick at this time. Since you came home, the small vegetable garden has also been rented out. If you want to eat, just ask someone to go to the vegetable garden to pick it and send it home.

Hearing that he couldn't go to the vegetable garden, Shaohua was a little disappointed, "Then I'll go fishing for shrimp with you." Hearing such a new thing as shrimp fishing, Shaohua immediately became alive.

She has eaten a lot of shrimp, but shrimp fishing is a new thing. Every time, she said that it was sent from the south. She didn't think there would be such a strange thing next to the capital. Shaohua couldn't let go. After begging for a few words, Bo Yan had to nod and agree and ordered someone to explain to the elders later.

Looking at the two girls' faces, Bo Yan asked where Jinhua was going.

"She said she was tired and didn't want to come out." In fact, Jinhua regrets following him.

They wanted to wait for Li Xunzhuo and others to come out of the study to inquire about the content of the conversation, but they waited for left and right, but no one was seen. Wanhua proposed to go out. Pu'an is just a big village after all. The folk customs are relatively simple. Even if the wife goes out, no one will say anything.

It is said that it is a back mountain. In fact, if you go straight along the bamboo forest from the back door of the Ling family, you can see a lake in the shape of a net pocket. The shore is full of bamboo forests. It's really good weather now. The sun on the water shines on the bamboo forest, and the reflection on the water makes the lake look like a huge emerald. It is said that it is a pond, but the distance is like pulling off the button, and the water is magnified several times, which is enough to support the boat.

Shaohua was a little surprised. He thought that the Ling family was the tile building in front of him, but he didn't think that there was such a place hidden behind. Not counting the pond, the green bamboo forest on the shore and the rows of houses occupy a lot larger than the front.

Boyan settled them all and taught them how to deal with it. Shaohua proved that she was not a nostalgman and immediately said that she knew how to deal with it. Fortunately, she secretly looked at Bo Yanjiao Wanhua just now, so she also played with it in a good way.

The cool breeze is clear, the grass is overgrown, the warm sun is slightly weary, and the leisure is elegant. Such a life is simply a fairy day. When they came, Shaohua also saw the forests on the hillsides not far away. Bo Yan said that they were all fruit forests. When the fruit matured, they could smell sweet fruit everywhere. Boyan's description is very vivid, and he can hear Shaohua drooling.

"I, I caught it." Si Mo's excited shout brought Shaohua back to his senses and looked at a small shrimp with a crystal and light phosphor light hanging on the bamboo pole in Si Mo's hand, but not until he finished shouting, the shrimp usually fell into the water. My shrimp!"

Simo let out a wail and made Shaohua laugh happily. Wanhua said angrily, "At least Balang has caught one, but you haven't caught one yet." Wanhua was lucky. When Boyan was teaching, she also listened carefully, so she also caught two. However, she was not as excited as Simo, so she quickly put the shrimp into the bamboo basket.

"Just catch another one." Bo Yan comforted him warmly. While talking, his hands did not stop, and he could catch a shrimp at once, and he could catch several without changing the bait. Seeing that he is easy-to-do, he doesn't seem to be fishing shrimp at all, as if he is just doing repetitive movements.

Shaohua looked a little dissatisfied. Wanhua was a little fruitful, and Simo finally caught one. She waited for a long time without even a water wave.

Time passed quickly in the fun. When Bo Yan's bamboo basket had been filled with Xiaoman, Shaohua finally lost interest. No matter how fresh and interesting it is, it will be worn out in nothing. She doesn't even look at it, but sits aside in a daze.

Wanhua was about to say, do you want me to help you, but Shaohua threw away the wildflowers and weeds in his hand and jumped up excitedly. I'm hooked. I'm hooked."

Bo Yan heard it funny, "It's the shrimp who got hooked, not you." Looking at Shaohua's interest, he was worried about how to catch one for Shaohua. He was also relieved to hear her say that she was hooked. Turning his face, he felt that something was wrong. Fishing for shrimp should be easy, but Shaohua pulled the bamboo pole and didn't pull the fishing line out of the water for a long time.

He was shocked and immediately dropped the bamboo pole and ran over. "Xiao Wu, what did you catch? Let go."

"No! I finally caught it." Shaohua said stubbornly. No matter what she catches, it's better than her empty-handed, so she will never let go. But why was the other end of the fishing line so heavy, as if to pull her into the water? Shaohua was shocked and hurriedly dragged the bamboo pole back. However, the strength in the water is also great, and it seems that Shaohua will not be stopped until he is dragged in.

Bo Yan saw that Shaohua would not give up at all. In a hurry, he had to help her pull the bamboo pole. It took him a hard time to find that the hook was definitely not an ordinary fish and shrimp. Even if he came from martial arts, it was difficult to catch it easily, but he was afraid that it would be too hard. The fishing line was broken, which disappointed Shaohua.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became tense and solemn, and the other two had no intention of fishing shrimp. They watched Bo Yan and others have a mermaid fight.

Looking at the sudden depth of water lines not far away, Bo Yan picked up the stones at his feet without thinking about it. One, two, three, almost all hit the same place, and the force is accurate. Suddenly, he gave up struggling in the water. Bo Yan took the opportunity to pull back hard, and a huge carp dragged out of the water and hit the grass.

"Is this what I caught just now?" Looking at the carp on the ground, Shaohua couldn't believe his eyes.

Bo Yan was also a little surprised, but he still nodded with a smile.

Shaohua breathed a sigh of relief and immediately became excited.
