Chapter 1609 Let me tell you a story about Calabash Baby
Lao Liu is the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission and holds a high position, but he is getting angry and his teeth are itching with anger.
Years of experience and cultivation made it difficult for him to get angry again, let alone when faced with a little girl's pranks.
So he could only hold back his anger. Even if there was a thunderous fire in his chest, he could only vent it a little, but he couldn't let anyone see it, otherwise they would say he was stingy.
His wife wanted to laugh but couldn't. These little gourds were the treasures of her family, Lao Liu. From seeds to seedlings, he had done everything with his own hands. He usually watered, killed insects, and loosened the soil... he did it all by himself, and it was not easy for him to bear fruit.
He is a little gourd. Every time in the evening, he would pace under the vines and look at this and that, just like his own son.
I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. In the blink of an eye, it was picked by the grand-niece of the old Zhang family, and it was picked in a fight!
This made Lao Liu almost unable to swallow his breath.
He didn't know that this scene was seen by Xiaobai, who was secretly lying on the edge of the door.
Xiao Baifei turned around and ran back, crossed the yard, scared the ducks in the pond to quack, then ran into the house and said to Zhang Hui who was watching the news on his tablet: "Huhuhu~~big
Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa Liu is looking at his little gourd, he seems very angry."
Zhang Hui looked at her funny and told her not to run so fast and to take a rest.
"I know, you take a rest." Zhang Hui said.
However, Xiao Bai still walked across the yard and ran to the gate, lying on the edge of the door with only a pair of big eyes exposed, peeking at Lao Liu who was tidying up the gourd vines outside the courtyard wall, and running back from time to time to report the latest situation to Zhang Hui.
Although Zhang Hui said not to go and see it, Xiao Bai still ran to him every time and tipped him off.
That's what he said, but in fact Zhang Hui also wanted to know whether Lao Liu's performance would break his defense and make him fly into a rage.
Unfortunately, Xiaobai said, Grandpa Liu just remained silent and did not become furious.
"Eat, eat, eat. You are really bullying me. You picked Lao Liu's little gourd without telling me, and you went to his house to show off."
Qin Huifang brought the dishes to the table, and Wang Xiaoyu followed behind, holding bowls and chopsticks, looking virtuous.
"Grandma, we are here to apologize, not to show off." Xiaobai said.
"Apologise, hum~" Qin Huifang smiled and stopped talking.
She didn't know Zhang Hui yet, so she came to apologize in name, but actually to show off. Last week, the grandson of Lao Liu's family also came, ran to his house, and picked most of the peppers grown by Zhang Hui.
So Lao Zhang came to the door today carrying peppers to apologize. Isn’t this pure?
Qin Huifang said to Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, next time you see Liu Changjiang and the others, stay away and don't provoke them. Those children have nothing to do all day long. Lao Zhang, you have to go talk to Secretary Liu."
Zhang Hui asked: "What are you talking about?"
Qin Huifang: "Telling about his little grandson bullying my Xiaobai and Xiaoyu."
Wang Xiaoyu nodded silently, but Zhang Hui said: "Wasn't his grandson bullied by Xiaobai?"
Qin Huifang said: "That's because Xiaobai is smart and runs fast. Otherwise, he would be surrounded by so many boys and would not be beaten. Xiaoyu was beaten."
Zhang Hui said: "Adults, please don't get involved in children's affairs."
Qin Huifang was nagging, very dissatisfied with Zhang Hui's "inaction", and threatened that Zhang Hui would not talk about it and she would do it later.
Of course, she was definitely not looking for Secretary Liu, but Secretary Liu's wife. The two of them communicated frequently and could be called old best friends.
"By the way, Xiaobai, take this to Grandpa Liu's house next door first."
Qin Huifang remembered something and went to the kitchen to bring out a food box. It contained pumpkin and mung bean soup she had just made and asked Xiaobai to deliver it to Lao Liu's house.
Xiaobai asked: "Why are you giving this?"
Qin Huifang glanced at Zhang Hui and said to Xiaobai: "You must be sincere in your apology. Go quickly and come back for dinner. Xiaoyu and Xiaobai will go together."
Xiaobai asked: "Does Grandpa Liu like his little gourd very much?"
Qin Huifang said: "Isn't it? It's like a treasure."
"Oh~"
Xiaobai carried the food box and went out with Wang Xiaoyu. They saw that the gourd vines that were originally hanging outside the courtyard wall were gone. When they entered the yard of Lao Liu's house, they found that the gourd vines had been put up in the yard.
"Grandpa Liu—Grandma Hu—we are here—"
Xiaobai spoke loudly, but the door was not closed, it was open. Maybe it was needed for work just now, so it was opened but not closed.
When Lao Liu in the house saw Xiao Bai and Wang Xiaoyu coming again, his face was expressionless and he didn't say anything. However, his wife was very enthusiastic and invited the two children to sit in the house.
"The food for you is made by my grandma." Xiaobai put the food box on the coffee table.
"What is this? Pumpkin and mung bean soup, thank you grandma, and thank you and Xiaoyu."
"You're welcome." Xiaobai immediately looked at Lao Liu and said to them, "I'm sorry, I picked your little gourd."
Grandma Hu smiled and said it didn't matter, and Lao Liu also said calmly that it didn't matter.
Xiaobai did not leave in a hurry, but suddenly asked him: "Have you heard the story of the seven gourd babies?"
Lao Liu was stunned for a moment and said, "I've never heard of it."
Grandma Hu smiled and said: "We have never heard of it, can you tell it?"
Xiaobai nodded and said: "My old man, my father, once told me the story of seven gourd babies. They are seven gourds tied on a vine. There is a doll growing in each gourd. They all have great abilities.
The first child has great strength, the second child has ears and clairvoyance, the third child has a copper head and iron arms, the fourth child can breathe fire, the fifth child can spit water, the sixth child can become invisible, the seventh child can subjugate demons... jingle, dong, dong, dong, gourd
Baby, la la la..."
She almost started singing, but at the critical moment Wang Xiaoyu pinched her and pulled her back from the story of Calabash Baby.
When Wang Xiaoyu saw that Xiaobai had no intention of leaving, he reminded her that she was going back.
"You go first, I'll leave later." Xiaobai said.
"Then I'm leaving~"
Wang Xiaoyu was afraid of Lao Liu and didn't want to stay here for a moment.
Xiaobai waved his hand to tell him to go quickly, and then continued to tell Lao Liu and Grandma Hu the story of Calabash Baby.
Originally, the two of them thought that Xiaobai could finish the story in a few words, but they didn't expect that the child started telling stories one after another. After telling it for a long time, they finally talked about the eldest baby being kidnapped by the snake spirit, and then the second baby just jumped out...
…
There are six more children behind. If we finish talking about them all, it will probably be dark.
Grandma Hu invited Xiaobai to eat at home and chatted while eating.
On the other side, Wang Xiaoyu went back with the news. Qin Huifang waited and waited, but when Xiaobai didn't come back, she came to see the situation in person. Instead of delivering a bowl of pumpkin and mung bean soup, she brought the child in.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw Xiao Bai sitting at the dining table, talking and laughing with Lao Liu. There was a small bowl in front of him, and the vegetables were piled high.
This kid actually started eating.
When Qin Huifang led Xiaobai back, Grandma Hu behind her reluctantly asked her to come and play often. It was just next door and just a door away.
After they left, Hu Yi said to Lao Liu with some sigh: "The family still needs a child to make it lively."
It took a long time for Lao Liu to hold back a sentence: "He is a better man than Lao Zhang."
Hu Yi asked: "You mean Lao Qin?"
"No, it's Xiaobai."
It's the end of the month, please vote for me. There are no activities this month, and there are no doubles. Don't wait any longer. Also, if you can't see the chapter reviews, it's not a problem with the book (I can see it in the author's backend), but with Dian Niang.
