ordinary human life

Tao Zi glanced at He Sihai.

He Sihai put her down, pulled her over and said, "Second Uncle, you sell watermelons, how can I eat yours for free, how much is it, I will give you the money."

He Sihai said this.

He Mancang became angry.

"Aren't you slapping me in the face? A village eats a watermelon and asks for money. I can't tell. Others don't know how to bury me."

"Second Uncle, that's not what I meant."

"What do you mean? I won't feed you, and I won't sell you. I'll feed Taozi. Taozi, come to Uncle Er." He Mancang waved again.

He Sihai smiled and didn't speak any more, but gently pushed Taozi on the back of her head to let her come forward.

"Second Uncle." Taozi walked over, raised her neck, and called obediently.

"Hey~" He Mancang happily responded and patted her little head.

Then he said: "What a good boy, my uncle picked the biggest and sweetest big watermelon for us to eat peaches."

Then he bent down and started to flip the watermelon vines, turning left and right.

"Taozi is so young, and your grandma is not in good health. How can you feel at ease to leave them at home and go out to work? If you want me to say, you come back this time, stay at home honestly, take care of Taozi and grandma, and don't go out..."

He Mancang taught him a lesson while flipping the watermelon.

"Second Uncle, I can't help it..." He Sihai sighed.

He Tao and his wife originally had some savings, but after their death, the funeral expenses were all spent.

As for the money for funeral banquets, rural areas are different from those in cities. Thirty or fifty money can't get back the money at all.

In addition, my grandma was ill, and my family had been wiped out long ago, and I still owed a large amount of money to outsiders.

That's why He Sihai had to go out to work.

He Mancang also knew He Sihai's difficulties, so he didn't say anything more.

Instead, he changed the subject and said: "I have told Taozi a few times that if you want to eat watermelon, you can go to Erbo's field to pick it by yourself, but she is really a good girl, except that she happened to meet and gave it to her twice, she I have never been in my field..."

In He Mancang's words, there is nothing but praise for Taozi.

He Sihai didn't feel very happy when he heard it in his heart, but was slightly sad.

"Here, take this."

He Mancang picked a big watermelon, picked it up and said.

Tao Zi immediately stretched out his arm to pick it up.

He Mancang smiled and let her go: "You can't do it, let my brother get it."

As he spoke, he stuffed the watermelon into He Sihai's arms.

"Thank you, Second Uncle." He Sihai said with some emotion.

"A watermelon, what's there to thank you for?" He bent down and picked another one.

"Second Uncle, one is enough." He Sihai said hastily.

"Take it, take it back and give it to your grandma to taste." He Sihai couldn't help but thrust the watermelon into his arms again.

He Sihai hugged him in a hurry.

"Second Uncle..."

"What's the matter?"

"Then I'm going back."

He Sihai didn't say thank you anymore, just keep some things in mind.

"Go, go, if you want to eat watermelon in the future, it's not worth a lot of money to pick it yourself, and besides, it will be off the market soon, if you don't eat it, it will soon rot in the field."

He Mancang looked at the watermelons all over the field, and a trace of sadness climbed up his brows.

……

Originally, He Sihai wanted to soak the watermelon in well water.

But seeing Taozi's eagerness to wait.

He Sihai can only cut one first.

The sun has been out for most of the day, and it is hot.

But for Taozi, it's fine to eat what he has, so he doesn't care about it.

He Sihai directly gave her half of it, and asked her to sit in the shade of a tree at the door and eat with a spoon.

And I came to grandma's room by myself.

"Grandma, the second uncle gave us two watermelons, would you like to get up and eat some?" He Sihai asked the grandma who was leaning on the bed.

"Don't eat, you can eat."

Grandma picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.

It's not crying, it's because I'm old, there will be tears in the corners of my eyes unconsciously.

"Grandma, I have already told Xiang Rong that I will take you to the county hospital tomorrow."

The He Xiangrong in He Sihai's mouth is from the same village, he can be regarded as He Sihai's childhood friend, but he dropped out of school earlier than He Sihai.

His family's conditions are good, and he has never gone out to work. He and his father do things like harvesting rice, rapeseed, and harvesting contracts.

His family has a car, and he helped her grandma to the county hospital when she was sick last time.

"No, no, I know my body, and it's useless to go." Grandma waved her hands when she heard the words.

"grandmother."

"Okay, stop talking, if Taozi didn't want me to leave, I would have left long ago." Grandma said suddenly.

"Grandma, don't say such unlucky things. You have to live well and watch Taozi go to college in the future." He Sihai said hastily.

"Grandma won't see that day, but you have to take good care of Tao Zi in the future, she is also a poor child." Grandma suddenly grabbed his hand and said.

"Don't worry, you don't need to tell me, I will take good care of her, no matter when, I promise."

He Sihai rubbed the back of her hand, it was very cold.

But he felt very warm.

"dad."

"It's Tao Zi who is calling, hurry up and go."

Grandma pulled out her hand and patted the back of his hand lightly.

He was relieved, smiling all over his face.

Seeing grandma's happy appearance, He Sihai got up and left the room.

Chapter 10

"Father, eat..." Taozi dug a large spoonful of watermelon and handed it to He Sihai's mouth.

"I won't eat it, you can eat it." He Sihai sat down beside him, shook his head and refused.

"There's a lot more. I can't eat so much. My stomach will turn into a big watermelon."

Taozi opened her eyes wide and said, she looks so cute.

"Haha, well, you eat first, and give the rest to brother."

Seeing Taozi's small appearance, He Sihai felt in a particularly good mood.

"it is good."

Taozi was very rude, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" he stuffed a big spoonful of watermelon into his mouth.

It's too big, its mouth is full, its cheeks are bulging, like a little hamster.

"Where's grandma? Doesn't she eat?" Taozi swallowed "difficultly" and asked strangely.

"She doesn't eat either."

Taozi scratched her head when she heard this, my lord is so strange, why don't you eat such a delicious big watermelon?

Probably because I had rested in bed, and grandma got up when I was eating at night.

The spirit also looks particularly good.

A family of three sat around the dining table.

Taozi looked at grandma on the left, and father on the right, kicking happily with her two little feet hanging in the air.

"Grandma, come, have some soup."

He Sihai scooped a spoonful of soup into grandma's bowl, and then put a big bone inside into the peach bowl.

"Wow."

Taozi's eyes lit up, and she let out a cry of joy.

He Sihai entrusted someone to buy this at the market.

This is the case in rural areas. Sometimes I don’t want to go to the market by myself, so I ask someone to buy it for me. It’s all from the villagers, and no one will refuse.

"Grandma, when you eat fish, it has fewer spines and is very tasty."

He Sihai put another half fish in grandma's bowl.

"Eat it yourself, leave us alone." Grandma said with a smile.

"Grandma, I'll take you to the hospital tomorrow." He Sihai took the opportunity to persuade again.

"I'm going too." Tao Zi said immediately upon hearing this.

"Okay, I'll take you with me."

"No, no, I'm in good health. Where do I go to the hospital? Look at my big bowl. Don't go to the hospital to waste money. It's not easy for you to earn some money. Save it and pay off the debt first." Grandma Hearing this, he shook his head.

"grandmother……"

"Alright, alright, let's eat."

Grandma changed the topic with a smile, but disagreed.

Seeing grandma's shameless appearance, He Sihai also looked helpless.

Finally he said angrily: "I don't care, I have already told Xiang Rong that I must go tomorrow."

"Whatever you want, let's eat."

Grandma picked up a chopstick and put it in He Sihai's bowl, and put another chopstick for Taozi.

"Be obedient in the future and listen to your brother." Grandma said.

"Ah."

Tao Zi nodded obediently.

He Sihai always felt strange when he heard the words.

Had dinner.

Tao Zi took the initiative to help He Sihai clean up the table.

Grandma got some warm water herself, wiped her face, washed it carefully, combed her gray hair neatly, and tied it with an iron headband.

With the help of He Sihai, he soaked his feet in hot water and went back to his room to rest.

He Sihai's cell phone rang while washing dishes.

After a glance, it was Li Dalu calling, and he quickly connected.

"Master, have you resumed work?"

He Sihai guessed that it was because of this that Li Dalu took the initiative to call him.

Sure enough, Li Dalu shouted on the phone that he would resume work in two days, telling him to come back quickly.

"Master, isn't the ancient tomb protected?"
