Sweetness

Chapter 8

After living in Xu's house for a few days, Tian Tian, ​​who was still not used to the soft bed, woke up again in the morning.

The clock on the wall points to six o'clock, which is a bit later than usual. After a simple wash, Tian Tian put on light clothes and went to the vegetable field.

Sure enough, Grandpa Xu was already waiting for her there, Tian Tian trotted over and called out, "Good morning, Grandpa."

Grandpa Xu also greeted her with a straw hat on his head: "Good morning girl."

Tian Tian Maliu'er took the hoe from the faucet, returned to Grandpa Xu, and persuaded: "Let me do the rest of the work, Grandpa, please rest by the side for a while."

"I'm not tired."

"...but your feet?"

In the past few days, the two of them met in the vegetable field, doing the simple work of loosening the soil and watering. Grandpa Xu worked particularly hard. Tian Tian thought it was because he liked it very much, so she didn't stop her.But occasionally, after hearing the reminder from the orderly next to Grandpa Xu, I learned that Grandpa Xu's foot was injured when he was young.

The rehabilitation work has been done well, and there is no problem with normal walking, but if you stand for a long time or walk and trot quickly, it is best to use crutches.

Tian Tian thought of the extremely fast steps of the old man and the useless crutch in his hand when he met her, and his heart warmed, and he couldn't let go: "Just leave the work of loosening the soil to me."

"The old man is not made of paper!" Grandpa Xu complained, and glared at the orderly next to him who wanted to dissuade him, standing beside Tian Tian with a hoe, and said stubbornly: "How can this little work tire me out?" .”

Tian Tian coaxed people to talk: "Yes. Then let's take turns? Wait until I'm tired and then change grandpa?"

She should have breakfast when she is tired.Grandpa Xu pouted his beard, obviously very dissatisfied with this arrangement, but he didn't want to go against Tian Tian, ​​he stood by and didn't leave, and put the straw hat on Tian Tian's head like a compromise: "Be careful of getting tanned."

She smiled: "Thank you, Grandpa."

After wielding the hoe for about 5 minutes, Grandpa Xu took Tian Tian to the gazebo to drink water on the grounds of thirst. What to eat?"

Tian Tian thought for a while, and replied: "I want to drink porridge." After the hot pot meal last night, the only thing she wanted to eat was porridge.

Grandpa Xu winked at the orderly next to him, and the orderly left knowingly, and he asked again, "Did Suansu take you out to play last night?"

Tian Tian stopped drinking water, nodded: "Yeah."

"Is it fun?" Without waiting for Tian Tian to answer, he said dissatisfiedly like blowing his beard and staring: "She knows how to go crazy outside all day long, and make some precious plans with a group of people, and the things she likes to play are messed up , if you don't like it, just don't go next time, don't wrong yourself just to accommodate her."

"No." Tian Tian remembered something, and replied: "The things they like... are very special."

"What's so special." Grandpa Xu sneered, "At least he's an adult, but he's still a child at heart. He's just being silly all day long, and he hasn't grown up."

Tian Tian was too busy drinking water to make a sound.

After last night, she seemed to agree with the 'silly' comment.

"Actually, that child's personality is very similar to mine. He is stubborn, yet strong, desperate for face, and doesn't like to be controlled by others..." Grandpa Xu seemed to be dissatisfied with Xu Qingning and seemed to be talking about himself, Tian Tian hurriedly interrupted: "No, no ,fine."

Grandpa Xu glanced at Tian Tian, ​​quite relieved: "Fortunately, it's you."

Tian Tian heard a lot of meaning in these words, she put down the water glass, hesitated and said: "Grandpa, you seem to be particularly in favor of me being with Suanyou?"

Grandpa Xu has always been perceptive, and he knew what was hidden in these words as soon as he heard it, and said angrily: "What did that poor child tell you again?"

Tian Tian hurriedly shook her head: "No, I didn't say anything."

"I know it if you don't tell me. I just said how could she be so kind to take you out to play, did she say something like not wanting to marry you? Don't listen to her, don't get married? If you don't get married, she will regret it later go."

Tian Tian was inexplicably amused, and still denied it: "No, I didn't say anything."

"That bastard! The more I think about it, the more I feel wronged." Grandpa Xu complained, "When I made the appointment for the baby, I said that the second child... Oh, the second child is the one you saw on the first day. Girl, be honest. But at that time, I didn’t know who said that it’s better for the baby to be of the same age. The second child is a few years older than you, so I decided on the third child. You should know that now, I didn’t choose the third child anyway. .”

The words 'repaying kindness into revenge' have been spinning in Grandpa Xu's mind for the past few days. The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it. After careful consideration, he came up with a trick and tried to propose: "Why don't we change to the second child?"

Tian Tian was stunned.After regaining consciousness, he quickly rejected Grandpa Xu's proposal: "No, no, it's good to be sour. And I don't have any grievances, I don't feel wronged."

"Aren't you wronged?" Grandpa Xu looked at her and said nothing.

This method is already the best method he can think of.

My granddaughter's temper is too stubborn, if it doesn't make sense, it's the girl who will be wronged in the end.Grandpa Xu defended his shortcomings, and just wanted to ask why?The granddaughter raised by his comrades-in-arms, why should she be rejected by her granddaughter?Therefore, instead of choosing a granddaughter who can explode at any time like a firecracker, it is better to choose a well-behaved and obedient one, at least wait until he sees his benefactor a hundred years later, so that he can have an explanation.

As for the temporary replacement, Grandpa Xu didn't think it mattered.

My granddaughter doesn't like human girls, how much can human girls like my granddaughters?They are both meeting for the first time, and they have no feelings. If the second child can take the place, at least the girl will not be wronged.

A simple sentence reminded Tian Tian of the days when she was struggling at home. She suddenly smiled and replied, "I'm not wronged."

"Just sour?"

Tian Tian nodded: "Yeah."

Although he didn't understand why the little girl was obsessed with her useless granddaughter, Grandpa Xu didn't interfere any more and agreed: "That's sour."

He couldn't help but say a few words: "But you also know the sour personality. If she wrongs you, whenever you want to dissolve the engagement or change to the second child, grandpa will not say a word."

Grandpa Xu is very serious, Tian Tian also nodded solemnly: "Okay."

As the time approached Mr. Xu's birthday, the servants of Xu's family became more and more busy.Everywhere in the courtyard, there is a busy scene.

Xu Qingning has just returned to Xu's home after two days and one night of mountaineering to watch the sunrise.

Tired of traveling and traveling, he was about to go back to his room to rest, when he passed by Xu Qingai's room and saw the door was ajar, his heart skipped a beat.She tiptoed to push the door open and went in, and suddenly yelled to scare her: "—Sister!"

"..."

Xu Qingai turned over and continued to lie on the corpse, snorted: "Pediatrics."

Xu Qingning spontaneously lay down on the other side of the empty bed, triumphantly: "Since it's pediatrics, then don't shake just now." She pretended to be frightened, humming.

Xu Qingai ignored her, and after replying to the message, she threw the phone aside and looked at her: "Where have you been wandering these few days?"

"Go to the mountain to watch the sunrise." Xu Qingning wanted to take the camera to show off the photos she took, but the camera bag and the suitcase were sent back to the room by the servant, so she had no choice but to describe: "It's so beautiful and spectacular, I'll show you next time .”

Unexpectedly, Xu Qingai complained: "I know how to run out all day long, but I don't know how to stay at home with your fiancée."

"?" Xu Qingning thought she had misheard, and sat up: "What did you say?"

"Tian Tian." Xu Qingai also sat up, persuading her: "She is your fiancée, even if you want to watch the sunrise, you can take her with you."

Tian Tian Tian Tian is Tian Tian again!

During the two-day and one-night mountaineering short trip, Xu Qingning heard Tian Tian's name more than once from the group of friends, and asked her why she didn't bring the fairy. She was annoyed and cursed back one by one.Who would have thought that when she got home, her sister would also mention Tian Tian to her?

She didn't understand, what's so good about those little mountain people, they miss each of them so much?

"Sister, what's the matter with you?" Xu Qingning was very dissatisfied, and argued hard: "Aren't you also very opposed to this marriage? You were very dissatisfied with Xiaoshanren back then, why are you still standing with her now?"

"The little mountain man?"

"It's that Tian Tian!" Xu Qingning gritted her teeth, suddenly saw the small ornament on Xu Qingai's phone, and picked it up out of curiosity: "What is this?"

"Does it look good? I made it up myself." Xu Qingai showed off.

"Good-looking is good-looking..." Xu Qingning looked at the little braid made of red straw rope, swallowed, and said, "Where did you get this straw rope?"

"Tian Tian gave it to me, she taught me to weave it. She knows a lot of things, your fiancee is really good, it's a pity to match you." Xu Qingai joked.

"Oh." Xu Qingning got off the bed and said bitterly, "Since it's a pity to match me, then I match you."

Xu Qingai made fun of her, and said stubbornly: "I can't ask for it, but whoever makes other girls recognize you." After saying that, she sighed 'ah' in disappointment.

Xu Qingning was furious.

She ran downstairs to drink water, and when she passed the dining table, she caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye and turned her eyes away.Where the chopsticks pillow was originally placed, there were petals of small watermelons one after another. The green one was the skin, and the red one was the flesh. They looked lifelike and very cute.

Out of curiosity, Xu Qingning picked up one with her fingertips and looked at it carefully, and she was sure that it was the two bales of grass that day.

Aunt Xu just happened to pass by, thinking that Xu Qingning liked this little watermelon, she smiled and boasted: "Miss Tian Tian made it up by herself, look at how skillful her hand is, it's so pretty."

Xu Qingning sneered: "It's not worth it." After saying that, she lost the desire to drink water, threw the watermelon on the table and went upstairs.

Mrs. Xu rearranged the small watermelon that Xu Qingning discarded, and looked at Xu Qingning's panicked back, and was rarely stunned in place: "It's so good that it looks good too."

**

dinner time.

Not many people knew about Xu Qingning's return, and she suddenly went downstairs to eat dinner, startling the diners at the table, and they all turned to look at her.

Holding her breath and sleeping all afternoon, her head was dizzy and her stomach was very hungry. Xu Qingning's attitude was not very good. She pulled the stool and sat down, took the tableware from her aunt, ignored the sight, and started to eat in a muffled voice.

After a few seconds of silence at the table, Grandpa Xu put down his chopsticks and looked at her: "When did you come back?"

"It's about one o'clock." After briefly answering, there was no more words.

Fortunately, Grandpa Xu didn't ask any more questions, and only asked Tian Tian when he was half full, "The day after tomorrow is Grandpa's birthday, have you thought about what clothes to wear? How about letting her take you out to buy some new clothes tomorrow?" ?”

Xu Qingning raised her head upon hearing that, "I won't go."

"I didn't call you." Grandpa Xu retorted, looking at Xu Qingai: "Second brother, are you free tomorrow?"

Xu Qingai nodded: "I'm free."

Before Xu Qingning could think of anything, Tian Tian said, "Grandpa, can you let Suan Suan accompany me?"

"?"

"Tiantian wants to go to Sour too?" Xu Qingai asked this time.

Tian Tian thought of Grandpa Xu's matchmaking in disguise in the past few days, plus what he said that day, and answered firmly: "Thinking about it."

"?" Xu Qingning struggled: "I said I won't go!"

"I heard it." Grandpa Xu seemed to be too noisy, he put a perfunctory sound to her, and then coaxed Tian Tian: "Then let Suan Suan go with her."
