At the market, Xu Hongdou said to Damai with a serious expression: "In short, it is absolutely impossible for me to fall in love with Qin Hao."
Damai asked cutely: "Sister Hongdou, do you have a boyfriend?"
"No."
"Then why is it impossible? Brother Hao is so good and you are so beautiful. Isn't this the legendary appearance of a talented man and a beautiful woman?"
Xu Hongdou held her forehead and expressed her tiredness: "Should a talented man and a beautiful woman be together?"
"Shouldn't it be?"
Xu Hongdou was speechless for a moment, and could only say dullly: "Da Mai, don't always substitute the plots of novels into life. Putting them on the Internet is called cp, and in real life, it is called confusing mandarin ducks. Do you understand?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, Sister Hongdou."
Seeing the sincere apology on Damai's face, Xu Hongdou's heart softened again. She held Damai's arm and smiled softly: "It's okay, but don't let others know about our conversation just now, otherwise it will be very embarrassing. Do you understand?
?”
"Well, I know Sister Hongdou, this is a little secret between the two of us, and I won't tell it even to death." Damai said solemnly.
Women's friendships often begin with sharing a common secret. By the time the two of them came back from shopping for vegetables at the market, they were almost conjoined.
Seeing this, Mr. Ma joked: "Hey, I haven't seen you all night, why are you two so close all of a sudden?"
"Secret." Damai said proudly.
Xu Hongdou smiled and said to Damai, "You haven't slept all night. Go and take a nap. I'll wake you up for dinner at noon."
"Um."
Damai trotted back upstairs, waved to Xu Hongdou from the balcony, and then returned to the room.
Upon seeing this, Mr. Ma said with emotion: "This barley is much more lively than before."
After lunch, Qin Hao and the four of them were basking in the sun in the small courtyard, chatting to pass the time.
Damai followed Xu Hongdou in making cat teasers, but unfortunately the kitten named "Jiahui" ignored the two of them at all and lay on the coffee table with squinted eyes, looking dignified like a lady.
"Sister Hongdou, it doesn't seem to like my cat-catching stick." Damai complained to Xu Hongdou aggrievedly.
Xu Hongdou comforted him: "Maybe it's tired."
"oh."
While they were talking, Aunt Agui finished cleaning and was about to leave. When she saw the four people doing nothing, her eyes lit up.
"My family is going to make flower cakes and milk fans today. If you have nothing to do, you can come with me. I'll tell you how interesting it is to make flower cakes."
Mr. Ma ridiculed: "Aunt Agui, you are trying to catch a young man but you are not paying him any military pay."
Aunt Agui was not happy when she heard this: "Look what you are saying. After all, you are idle, just think of it as playing. Besides, I can't give you the money. The flower cakes and milk fans are ready. You guys
You can also get some."
Xu Hongdou smiled and reassured: "Aunt Agui, Master Ma is joking with you. Damai and I will go with you."
"Ah? I, I want to go too? But I don't know anything." Damai was in a hurry after being called, and looked at Qin Hao, with six words written all over his face: help me, help me.
However, Qin Hao stood up directly: "Let's go, I also want to learn how to make flower cakes. We can make and eat them ourselves in the future."
Xu Hongdou couldn't help but pick up Damai and follow Aunt Agui. However, Master Ma had no intention of getting up and said lazily: "You go ahead, I'll take a nap for a while."
Aunt Agui complained: "I used to meditate every day, but now I lie down every day. Such a big living person does nothing all day long and doesn't know how to support a family."
"Aunt Agui, everyone has their own way of living. You can't use your own standards to demand others." Qin Hao reassured.
Aunt Agui shook her head: "I can't understand you young people nowadays."
When he arrived at Aunt Agui's house, Qin Hao discovered that Uncle Deqing and Aunt Agui were actually a couple. This time they made flower cakes and breast fans to send to Qingdao for their two children.
When Qin Hao and others came, Uncle Deqing had already started making noodles, and Aunt Agui started to make milk fans, and even held Damai's hand. Damai looked confused, and was ordered around by Aunt Agui.
I was in a hurry at first, but then slowly started to smile on my face.
Qin Hao started making flower cakes with Uncle Deqing, Xu Hongdou was responsible for making the fillings, Uncle Deqing kneaded the noodles, and Qin Hao was responsible for wrapping.
"It turns out that the flower cake is really made of fresh flower petals, and it tastes so delicious." Xu Hongdou said in surprise while rubbing the flowers.
Uncle Deqing explained with a smile: "This flower cake has two fillings, one is made directly from fresh flower petals, and the other is rose jam made in advance. This is not the flower cake from our hometown that Xiaoxi said he wanted to eat.
, we didn’t have time to make rose jam, so we just used fresh petals instead.”
"So that's it. Are Uncle Deqing's children working in Qingdao?" Xu Hongdou asked casually.
As a result, Uncle Deqing's tone suddenly became a little depressed: "Yes, I have been in Qingdao since I was in college. Later, when I got a job and started a family, I took root there. The two of us are left in our hometown. We can't come back all year round. Every time
He always says he’s busy with work.”
These words reminded Xu Hongdou of herself, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty. She used to work in a hotel, and she was busier during holidays. Sometimes her parents would call her during holidays.
Uncle Deqing outside the door said this, and Aunt Agui was not happy. She dropped the breast fan she was making and ran into the house.
"Oh, don't listen to this old man's nonsense. Our family, Dayang Xiaoxi, is very filial. Look at all the electrical appliances in our house, they bought them to honor us. They even give us red envelopes during holidays. I told them no,
We can spend a lot of money in our hometown, but they insist on giving it.”
As she spoke, Aunt Agui started to brag again, talking about how filial her family was in Dayang Xiaoxi. Qin Hao secretly laughed. Aunt Agui's showing off was understandable. Other peers in the village and family members
Although the children may not be doing as well as Dayang Xiaoxi, they basically come back to reunite with their families every New Year. But according to Uncle Deqing, Dayang Xiaoxi has not come back to spend the New Year with them for many years.
The more people have nothing, the easier it is to show off. Just like many people without money like to show off their wealth, and most of the truly rich people are relatively low-key, because in their opinion, those who live in executive suites in high-end hotels and eat at three Michelin stars
A restaurant is an ordinary thing, not worth showing off.
Judging from the subsequent plot, is Dayang Xiaoxi really filial? Aunt Agui and Uncle Deqing originally planned to go to Qingdao to see their grandson, but before departure, Dayang called to tell their boss that they had arranged a business trip and asked their parents not to come.
, he is on a business trip alone, aren’t his wife and children still at home? Why can’t he take the old man over?
Let the old man stay for a few more days so that he can stay with his parents when he returns from his business trip. To put it bluntly, either Dayang's wife doesn't want to see his parents in the country and looks down on rural people, or Dayang himself doesn't want his parents to come over and cause trouble for him.
.
The same goes for Xiaoxi. Even if her brother is on a business trip and can't entertain his parents, why can't the daughter take her parents to her home to stay for a few days? Anyway, the tickets have been bought. In fact, it's just that they don't want their parents to disturb their little life.
.
Although Aunt Agui and Uncle Deqing are not too old and are actually empty nesters, Aunt Agui still wants to show off how filial her children are in front of the villagers. On the one hand, it is to save her own face;
In order to protect his children, he did not let the villagers poke their bones.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Xu Hongdou sent Aunt Agui away: "Aunt Agui, shouldn't it be time to hang up your breast fan?"
"Ouch, look at me, I almost forgot." Aunt Agui hurriedly ran out.
Uncle Deqing shook his head and whispered: "Don't be offended, that's just the way she is."
"It's okay, Aunt Agui is outspoken and we all like her very much." Xu Hongdou comforted her.
At this moment, there was a ding sound, and the first batch of flower cakes came out of the oven. Qin Hao took out the flower cakes and divided one into each person.
"Wow, this flower cake is delicious, and the skin is so crispy that it falls apart as soon as you bite it." Barley's eyes narrowed as he ate, and his feet were still pacing on the ground.
Xu Hongdou held the flower cake with two fingers and put it into her mouth. She took a bite and kept nodding: "Well, it's great. This is more delicious than the flower cake I have eaten before."
"Hehe, of course, we made this ourselves, with real materials. Many of the ones you bought outside were not made of rose petals, and this flower cake is the most fragrant right after it comes out of the oven." Aunt Agui
He said boastfully.
Qin Hao also took a piece himself, and it was indeed very fragrant.
With delicious food as motivation, everyone was full of energy. Flower cakes were baked one after another, the kitchen was filled with aroma, and the milk fans drying in the yard also exuded a strong fragrance of milk.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the raw materials had been used up. Qin Hao and the other three took a rest for a while and were about to go back. Aunt Agui told them to pack a few bags of flower cakes.
"Take these two bags back to Mr. Ma and Nana, and let them have a taste." Aunt Agui was a smart person, and she had not forgotten Mr. Ma's share.
"This is too much, Aunt Gui. We can't eat so much at once," Xu Hongdou said.
Uncle Deqing also advised: "Just take it. If you hadn't come to help today, we don't know how long it would take to get it. It's not a valuable thing, so don't refuse it anymore."
There was no other way, Qin Hao and the others could only accept it. When they were approaching Youfeng Xiaoyuan, Qin Hao said to Xu Hongdou and Damai: "You go back first. I'll give Grandma Xie two bags to try. We can't eat it anyway."
over."
"Okay, let's go back first."
When Qin Hao arrived at Xie Zhiyuan's house, Grandma Xie had not confiscated the stall. When Qin Hao walked in, he found that Xie Zhiyuan was educating this naughty boy again.
"If you don't go to school, what are you going to do in the future? Think about going to heaven!"
Xie Zhiyuan said angrily: "I won't go, I will stay at home and raise horses."
"Raising horses, I think you are just looking for trouble!" Xie Zhiyao was so angry that he slapped his younger brother.
Xie Zhiyuan protested loudly while hiding: "Even if you beat me to death, I won't go back. I, Xie Zhiyuan, would rather die here than go back to class!"
Qin Hao was leisurely watching the fun, but he was discovered by Xie Zhiyao. Seeing Qin Hao looking gloating about his misfortune, Xie Zhiyao said angrily.
"How did you come?"
Qin Hao then walked in and put the flower cakes on the table: "I was just helping Aunt Agui make flower cakes and milk fans. Aunt Agui insisted that we take some back and wanted to give grandma a taste."
After saying that, Qin Hao was about to turn around and leave. A naughty kid like Xie Zhiyuan must be taught a lesson.
However, Xie Zhiyuan regarded Qin Hao as his savior and hid behind Qin Hao: "Brother Hao, help me, my brother will beat me to death if you leave."
Xie Zhiyao was angry and funny: "Xie Zhiyuan, let me go, or see how I deal with you!"
Now Xie Zhiyuan was even more unwilling to let go. He hid behind Qin Hao's T-shirt and refused to come out.
Seeing this, Xie Zhiyao threatened: "Xie Zhiyuan, if you don't come out, I will tell you why you don't want to go to school."
"you dare!"
"Old Qin, actually the reason why this kid doesn't want to go to school is because he pooped his pants during class."
"Ah" Xie Zhiyuan's pretty face turned red instantly. He closed the door and blocked the door himself, preventing the two of them from going out.
Qin Hao originally knew about this, but he still found it a bit funny when it happened: "No, Ayuan, what's going on? You're in high school, why are you still shitting your pants?"
Xie Zhiyuan shouted angrily: "Don't say it anymore, and don't tell others, otherwise I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost."
"Shut up, open the door, you're talking nonsense, you're still acting like a ghost, are there ghosts in this world?" Xie Zhiyao said angrily.
"I don't, you swear not to tell anyone, otherwise I won't get out of the way even if I die." Xie Zhiyuan looked like he was dead.
Qin Hao asked in a low voice: "Does your home have a back door?"
"There is no back door, but you can go directly over the wall."
"Walk."
Xie Zhiyuan was immediately dumbfounded: "You guys, if you dare to tell me, I will die in front of you."
"childish."
In the windy courtyard, Damai and Xu Hongdou were dumbfounded when they saw Qin Hao actually rolled from the yard next door to the second floor. They wanted to remind Qin Hao to be careful, but were afraid of surprising him. They waited until Qin Hao landed and then relaxed.
Take a breath.
"Are you crazy? Why don't you walk so high when you have a road?" Xu Hongdou glared at Qin Hao.
Qin Hao smiled at her: "Do you care about me?"
"Bah, who cares about you? You're sick." Xu Hongdou cursed and angrily sat aside and ignored Qin Hao.
Qin Hao then explained helplessly: "I wanted to go through the front door, but there were people blocking the door and not letting me go."
"Who?" Damai asked curiously.
At this time, Xie Zhiyuan had already chased after him and blocked the door of Youfeng Xiaoyuan.
"What happened? Why did you provoke him?"
Xu Hongdou looked at Qin Hao in confusion, and was about to step forward to ask Xie Zhiyuan what happened, but Xie Zhiyuan said nothing and just glared at Qin Hao.
Qin Hao spread his hands and said, "Naughty kid, just ignore him. It's getting late. Let's cook."
Xu Hongdou originally thought that Xie Zhiyuan was just having a bad temper and would get over it in a while, but until Qin Hao finished cooking, Xie Zhiyuan was still blocking the door.
