Chen Die was indeed a motherly figure. She casually took a few pieces of paper and in a short while, a few paper hats came out. Then, everyone wore paper hats to clean up.
Su Chen was wearing a paper hat and holding a broom. She swept here and there, but not a single piece of land was swept clean. In the end, Su Chen ran to the well out of boredom. She stretched her head out and saw that the well was glistening with water. She shouted excitedly," Ah Chen, Ah Chen, there's still water in this well." Come and take a look."
Chen Die felt helpless about Su Chen, but she also found it funny. She said," Doll, go borrow some rice from Uncle Zhang."”
Su Chen nodded, took off his hat, stood at attention, and said," Yes, sir.”Then, he immediately ran out of the courtyard.
In the alley, sunlight shone down from the houses on both sides. The originally dark alley was even more dim.
Su Chen ran in the alley. Her shoulder-length hair swayed with her steps. The alley was not long. In a short while, she reached Uncle Zhang's house.
Su Chen imitated Liu Xu and shouted at the door," Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang."”
She had a small head, and her skin was tanned to a healthy black color. She had two pigtails and looked about five or six years old. When she smiled, she had two deep dimples." Pretty Sister, are you looking for my grandfather?"”
Su Chen nodded." Kid, is your grandfather around?"”
The little girl tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying," I'm not called Little Friend. My name is Diandian. Grandpa went to the river."
Su Chen looked into the yard but did not see any other adults." Where are your parents?" she asked.”
The little girl immediately laughed." Sister, you're so stupid. You must have gone to do something."”
Su Chen smiled dryly." Then, Diandian, can you bring me to Grandpa?"”
"Sure." Diandian walked out barefooted. It was not tall and had small hands and feet. It closed the door slightly and planned to leave.
Su Chen found it strange and asked," Diandian, aren't you going to lock the door?”
" No." Diandian shook her head, and her braids swayed." No, it's not locked. It's not usually locked."”
Su Chen only felt that this place was really different from her own home. Usually, she would close the door tightly at home and lock it properly when she went out.
Although Diandian had short legs, it ran quite fast. Su Chen had to walk quickly to keep up. When they reached the river, Diandian shouted at the other side of the river," Grandpa, Grandpa, a beautiful sister is looking for you.”Su Chen was surprised that such a small body could shout so loudly.
Uncle Zhang replied," Hey, okay. I'll chase the goose back now."”Upon hearing this, Su Chen noticed that there were a few large gray geese beside Uncle Zhang's feet. They had red beaks, and he felt his hair stand on end.
Diandian reached out and held Su Chen's hand as they walked towards Uncle Zhang. Su Chen felt as if his feet weighed a thousand pounds as he slowly walked forward.
Uncle Zhang also drove the geese towards them. The geese seemed to recognize strangers. When they saw Su Chen, they quickly ran towards him. Su Chen looked at the gray geese in horror. After a few seconds, she reacted and hurriedly turned around to run, not forgetting to scream," Ah!"”
Naturally, the goose couldn't catch up with Su Chen. After a while, the goose saw that it couldn't catch up, so it stopped again and slowly walked forward. When it reached the alley, it obediently walked into the house.
Uncle Zhang laughed when he saw this scene. His loud " haha " reached Su Chen's ears at Liu Xu's house at the end of the alley. Chen Die looked at Su Chen in surprise." Doll, why do you look so scared? Where's the rice I asked you to borrow?"”
Only then did Su Chen realize that he hadn't borrowed any rice. He said shyly," Uncle Zhang has a goose at home. It's so fierce and will bite."”
Chen Die was both angry and amused." No, you can go borrow more."”
Su Chen reluctantly replied with an " oh ", but he still felt a lingering fear.
This time, she still stood at the door and called out timidly," Uncle Zhang.”
Still, she poked her tiny head out and smiled when she saw that it was Su Chen." Grandpa, it's still that beautiful and stupid sister who's looking for you."”
Su Chen was deeply shocked…
Uncle Zhang stood behind Diandian and smiled." Diandian, you can't be rude to your sister.”Then, she looked at Su Chen and said," You're the little girl who came back with Xu, right?”
Su Chen nodded." Yes, Liu Xu is my mother."”
Uncle Zhang nodded." No wonder they look so alike. Come in."”She turned around and walked into the courtyard." Do you need anything?" she asked.”
Su Chen nodded and said," My mom asked me to come over to borrow some rice."”She was a little embarrassed. She rarely borrowed things from others, and it was someone she was unfamiliar with. She walked into the courtyard and looked around. When she saw the goose obediently staying in a corner, she felt relieved and followed Uncle Zhang inside.
Uncle Zhang nodded." I see. Let's eat at our house today."”
Su Chen was silent for a few seconds before she said," No need. Mom said that she would come to visit you after she tidied up the house. We'll be staying here for a long time."
Uncle Zhang didn't force her." Alright then, sit here for a while. I'll go in and get some rice. Diandian, help Sister get some water."”
Diandian obediently went to pour some water for Su Chen. It was a simple white porcelain bowl with a few blue flowers at the bottom. There were already a few cracks on the bowl. It must have been used for a long time. After cleaning for a long time, Su Chen was also thirsty, so he took a sip. The water was cool and a little sweet. It was not like the mineral water he usually drank. It should be the well water in the courtyard.
Uncle Zhang came out with half a bag of rice. Su Chen immediately put down the bowl and went to get the rice.
Uncle Zhang dodged and said," Let me do it. You probably can't carry it, so I'll help you deliver it."”
Su Chen looked at Uncle Zhang and the rice in his hand. It seemed that she really couldn't carry it, so she didn't force herself. She said," Okay, thank you, Uncle Zhang."”
Su Chen followed Uncle Zhang slowly into the alley. Uncle Zhang's back was already a little hunched. He was really a little old.
"What's your name?" Uncle Zhang tilted his head slightly and looked at Su Chen as he asked.
"Ah, my name is Su Chen." Su Chen quickly came back to his senses and replied.
"Twelve, right?" Uncle Zhang asked again.
"Yes, I am. Thirteen." Su Chen replied obediently.
"Yes, twelve or thirteen years old.”Uncle Zhang was silent for a while before saying," The last time your mother came back, she was preparing to get married. Unfortunately, Xu's father couldn't see it.”
Su Chen paused. Just as she was about to ask why, she saw that they had arrived home. Her mother, Liu Xu, was walking out." Uncle Zhang, why did I trouble you to send the rice over?”Then, he took the rice from Uncle Zhang's hand.
Uncle Zhang chuckled and said," I was afraid that your girl wouldn't be able to carry it, so I sent it over. Your girl is up to you, but she's still afraid of the goose."”
Liu Xu acted coquettishly and reminisced." Uncle Zhang, do you still remember that embarrassing incident of mine?”
Uncle Zhang smiled again." You should have forgotten about it. Just now, your girl was chased away by our goose. Only then did she remember that you're also the most afraid of our goose.”
Liu Xu looked at Su Chen and smiled." That's right. Our girl is just like me. She runs away when she sees a goose. Haha."
Su Chen stood beside Liu Xu, blushing.。。
"Alright, then you guys continue to clean up. I'll go back first. If you're really annoyed, you can come to my house to eat.”Zhang Bole laughed and turned around.
Seeing Uncle Zhang turn around and leave, Su Chen followed Liu Xu back to the courtyard. He saw a group of people smiling at him. Uncle Zhang's voice was so loud, so they must have heard it.
"No wonder Doll said Uncle Zhang raised a goose. It's so fierce.”Chen Die teased.
Liu Xu placed the rice on the cleaned table and continued," It's also because I didn't remind her. Uncle Zhang's geese love to follow people when they see them. The more they run, the more they chase.”
Su Chen sat on the chair in a fit of pique and said gloomily," You guys can laugh all you want.”
Then, the group of people laughed. Liu Xu also laughed very happily. This was probably the happiest laugh she had ever had in this courtyard.
Su Chen was no longer depressed when she saw her mother smiling so happily.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420183: 53PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185:54PM
