Deep in the bamboo forest is my home

He Xiaohua's head exploded with a bang, won't she come back?What can't come back?The ship can't come back, what about the people?All the boats going to Gyeongju port can't come back, or is it only Namha village?If you can't come back now, can you come back later?

He Xiaohu held Xiao Hua tightly with his backhand, "Don't be afraid, Xiao Hua, the second brother is right here. The second brother will go to inquire about the news tomorrow. Go to uncle and wait."

"I'll go too. Xiaohua, we brothers will bring daddy back."

"Second brother, where did you hear the news?"

"Everyone in the village is talking, everyone is talking." Xiaozhu stomped his feet and said like a cannonball, "Jiang Fulang from the village head's family has gone to Baisha Village to inquire about news, and there are others who are going to Qingzhou Port. Every rich family sent people to Baisha Village."

"Where did it come out! Who was the first to say it?" The three of them became a tiger. If the news was confirmed, the husband of the village head's family would not go to Baisha Village to inquire. Where did the news that spread in the village come from? .

"Yes, big brother, Xiaohua is right. Everyone is talking about it, but no one knows where the news came from. Xiaohua, second brother will go and find out right away. Maybe it's fake news." Xiaohu caught it like a drowning man A piece of driftwood, the hand holding Xiaohua tightened tightly.

"Ah? Fake news? Which company is so vile and deceitful with fake news." Xiao Zhu stopped stomping and clenched his fists, "Let me know, I will beat him hard."

"Aren't the two boys skin tight? Shall I give you a spanking?"

The three of them were startled, and Yang Yan'er's voice suddenly appeared behind them.Yang Yan'er held Xiao Si in her arms, and stared at the three children with a sullen face. She stood there for some time, and heard something, "I've finished all the work in the field? Where are the tools? Where are they lost? The school is over? Not yet?" Hurry up and do your homework! Xiao Hua, come here and hug Xiao Si, I'll make dinner."

"Ah, I..." Xiaozhu opened his mouth to say something, but Xiaohu grabbed his brother and shook his head.

He Xiaohua took Xiao Si, moved a bench and sat outside the main room, Xiao Zhu lowered his head, wiped his eyes, and ran out of the yard, Xiao Hu picked up the machete and went out to chop firewood.

Xiao Si in her arms slept soundly, completely unaware of the family's mood changes, the corners of her mouth curled up, her sweet and contented smile, and her fragrant and soft body made Xiao Hua's flustered mood slowly settle down.

Nothing will happen to Dad, definitely not, definitely not.With her head buried on Xiao Si's body, Xiao Hua yelled sullenly, "Xiao Si, you haven't seen Father yet, and Father has never hugged Xiao Si, Father must come back to hug Xiao Si."

Xiao Si moved his body, the weight on his body made Xiao Si very uncomfortable, he squinted his mouth, yelled twice, and protested with his little hands and feet.

If the news is true, will Dad come back?Xiaohua shook her head again and again, trying to throw her head away, but the waterway was dangerous, water pirates, wind and waves, illness, etc. could easily kill a boat.

He Xiaohua looked at Yang Yan'er busy in the kitchen, and looked back at the three rooms in the old house of He's family, the newly built small room, the newly built chicken coop by the courtyard wall, and Xiao Si who was sleeping soundly in her arms.He Xiaohua's heart was like a boulder weighing a thousand catties.Boss He is the backbone of the family, even if he doesn't talk much, even if he doesn't earn much by working in the fields, with him around, the family has the backbone.What would the family be like without him?

No, definitely not, but there are no waves without wind?He Xiaohua's heart seemed to be split into two villains, one was telling the truth and the other was lying, the two villains had a good fight, and Xiaohua's mood also fluctuated accordingly.

In the He family shrouded in shadow, Yang Yan'er straightened up her slender body and supported a family.After Yang Yan'er came out of the room, she didn't cry or get angry, and calmly directed the three children to do their own work. Those who should go to class should go to the field, and those who should go to the field should go to the field. He also asked He Xiaozhu to plant Shaowei vegetables twice this year for the winter. More and more, it is necessary to ensure the food for the chickens to survive the winter.Xiao Si handed Xiao Hua over to take care of her. The next morning, Yang Yan'er wrapped two pancakes and went to Baisha Village.

When Shen Meme brought Yang Li to the door, He Xiaohua was hugging Xiaosi and feeding rice soup with a small spoon.Yang Yan'er left in a hurry, Xiaosi didn't eat anything in the morning, so Xiaohua fed some rice soup to fill Xiaosi's stomach.Xiaohua was afraid of feeding in a hurry, so she would choke Xiao Si, so she fed Xiao Si small mouthfuls. Take a small bite, fed half a bowl of rice soup, and Xiao Si ate half of his stomach, mostly spit on his clothes.Xiaosi pursed her mouth and cried in a low voice.

"Xiao Hua, a one-month-old baby who can't eat rice soup. It's a pity." Shen Meme reached out to take Xiao Si and patted his back. I can hear crying, why did I cry so silently today, baby, don't cry, your father must be in good fortune, come back safely."

Yang Li pulled He Xiaohuayi corner, "Xiao Hua, don't be sad, Uncle He is sure to be safe."

He Xiaohua lowered her head, and fiddled with the spoon with her fingers, the clanging sound was like a mourning sound.

Shen Meme coaxed him for a while, but Xiao Si still couldn't stop crying, and confessed, "I'll take Xiao Si to the end of the village to find Du Momo. He gave birth to a child a few months ago, and now he still has milk."

He Xiaohua hurriedly took out two eggs from the kitchen that she just picked up this morning, and stuffed them to Shen Momo.Shen Memo took it, nodded, "I know."

Yang Yan'er rushed home in the evening, her eyes were red, she prepared dinner for her family sullenly, and hid in her room by herself.He Xiaohua looked at He Xiaohu.

"A few days ago, a peddler from the south came to the village. I asked him about things in the south. The peddler said that there was an unusually strong storm in Gyeongju Port this year, and many boats capsized. It turned out that the boats going to Gyeongju Port couldn’t come back. I’m afraid the village head’s family went to Baisha Village to inquire about this.”

"Then Father's boat..."

He Xiaohu shook his head, "Usually, the ship to Qingzhou Port should have returned, but now it is a few days late... probably because of the strong wind and waves."

The three brothers ate supper in a dull manner, Xiaozhu took advantage of the moonlight to move out the tools one by one, imitating what Boss He usually did at home, carefully inspecting and repairing each one.Xiaohu filled the large and small water tanks in the yard with water, and stacked the dry firewood in the kitchen neatly.

He Xiaohua lowered her head, pricked up her ears and listened for a while in front of Yang Yan'er's room, gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, lifted the curtain and ran in.

"Ah, Xiao Hua is going to sleep with Ah Mo tonight." Holding Yang Yan'er's thigh, Xiao Hua dawdled with her little head.

Yang Yan'er was lying sideways on the bed, holding a piece of clothing in her hand, when suddenly He Xiaohua hugged her thigh, startled, touched Xiaohua's hair, "Xiaohua, why are you acting like a baby to Ahma?"

"I want, I want, I want to sleep with Ah Mo." He Xiaohua tried hard to recall the scene of the little girl clinging to her mother and acting like a baby, she pouted her mouth and leaned her small body into Yang Yan'er's arms.His eyes glanced at the clothes in Yang Yan'er's hands, was it the material that caused Yang Yan'er and Boss He to misunderstand back then.

"Okay, okay, it's rare for my little Hua to ask to sleep with Ah Mo." Picking up Xiao Hua, taking off her little shoes, and putting Xiao Hua by her side, "Sleep well, Ah Mo will sing to Xiao Hua."

Gently patted Xiaohua's back, Yang Yan'er sang a little song that He Xiaohua was familiar with, "It's raining, my baby wants to find daddy, oh, it's thundering, my baby wants to get under the bed, daddy said, baby, baby, don't be afraid , Daddy is holding the sky, holding the sky." Singing the little song over and over again, Yang Yan'er's tears fell drop by drop like broken beads.

"Ah." Hugging Yang Yan'er's slender waist, He Xiaohua raised her head and reached out to wipe away the tears on Yang Yan'er's face, "Daddy will definitely come back."

"Silly Xiaohua, of course Dad will come back. If he dares not come back, let's see how I deal with him. Silly Xiaohua, go to sleep."

"I sleep with Ah Mo."

"I'm not lying on Ah's bed anymore."

"Ama didn't close her eyes."

"Silly Xiaohua, you go to bed first, and Ah Mo will follow."

"Ama sleep together." He Xiaohua stared stubbornly, took the clothes in Yang Yan'er's hands with her small hands, folded them in twos and put them on the bedside, "Daddy's favorite clothes, you can't crush them."

"Okay, Ah, listen to Xiaohua." Yang Yan'er couldn't laugh or cry, she could only lie down, hugging Xiaohua with one hand, and pressing the quilts for the two children with the other, "Sleep and sleep."
