Chapter 248
Chapter 248
The old lady took Si'an by the hand and sent them to the gate of the yard. When they stepped on the bridge and were about to leave, they turned their heads and saw Xian Si'an waving at them.
The old lady did not take Si'an back until they could no longer be seen.
She had only seen these fruits from her elder sister, and knew that they were easy to break, so she immediately took them out, washed one, and stuffed it into Xian Si'an's hand.
"Si'an, don't eat pancakes today, eat this first."
Xian Si'an nodded ignorantly, took a look at the big apple after taking it, thought for a while and replied: "Part, Si'an wants half."
The old lady was also afraid that he would not eat it, so she cut it up with a kitchen knife and put the other half in the cabinet, planning to give it to Si'an later.
Xian Si'an took a bite of the apple, and frowned subconsciously. After being cut open, the apple seemed to be not a simple apple. A strange spicy smell made his small face subconsciously serious.
The old lady was going to put these things in a locked cabinet in her room first. When she picked up a bag of pastries, she saw a wad of money at the bottom. When she picked it up, she counted 50 yuan.
Holding the money and running to the gate, the figures of the two men had long been out of sight, stuffed things in and locked them, put the money in his pocket, and went to the captain's house with Si'an in his arms.
The old lady ran very fast, Si'an hugged her apple tightly along the way, and was knocked over.
"What's the matter, auntie, running so fast?"
"What about the two comrades?"
"They, they've already left, and it's time to go back to the army."
"This this……"
After the old lady took a breath, she took out the money and explained the situation to the captain.
If the money was hers, she would not refuse it, but if it wasn't hers, she would be guilty of holding it, but don't let other comrades misplace it, such a large sum of money is not a small sum for anyone.
"Auntie, don't worry, I heard from those two comrades that the money is for Si'an."
The old lady was still a little uneasy on the way back. On the way here, she carried Si'an in her arms and ran, and the two of them walked slowly back home.
"Si'an, what is the relationship between those two comrades and your parents?"
"They often come to my house."
As for how much Si'an is, I don't know much about it. I was thinking about how I would explain it if my grandma asked. Fortunately, after a long time, the old lady didn't intend to ask.
When she got home, the old lady was packing her things while thinking about how to spend the money.
Just after a while, she plans to visit her elder sister, and then ask her to buy some materials for her and make some more beautiful clothes for Si'an.
The few dishes those two comrades sent over should be enough for Si'an to eat for a long time, and there is still time to buy them after eating.
After removing such a large amount of money, there is still a lot left, and the old lady doesn't plan to spend it recklessly, and save it all for Si'an to get married in the future, and it will definitely be needed.
When eating in the evening, the old lady told Xianyu about it in a low voice. When the old man heard that there was so much money, his hand holding the bowl trembled slightly.
When he agreed to adopt Si'an, he was already prepared to live on a tight stomach in the future. It's okay for adults to be hungry, and such a big child is growing up, so he must not lose money.
But now, one after another, the old man couldn't help wondering whether they had adopted a child, or brought back a golden baby.
After eating, the old lady took out the apple, cut it into two halves, and handed half to Yuko and Si'an.
Seeing the little guy sitting on his lap frowning and eating an apple, Xianyu couldn't help asking, "What's the matter? Don't you like it?"
Apples in this era are rarely seen in their small village. Xian Si'an's parents are kind to him, and they may have bought them, but definitely not too many times.
Apart from not liking it, Xianyu couldn't find any other excuse to make a child eat with a wrinkled face.
"hot."
hot?How can an apple be spicy?
Xianyu tasted it himself, only to find that the old lady hadn't cleaned the kitchen knife, and the smell of green onions remained on it.
"not spicy."
"No, Si'an thinks it's spicy."
Xian Si'an stubbornly insisted on his own thoughts, he really felt that it was very spicy, both in the afternoon and now.
The neighbor next door was quiet tonight, and Xianyu guessed that he was too tired from work, and fell asleep right after he got home and had dinner.
He also felt very tired in the first two days of work, but he gradually got used to it. The original owner is in good health, and he has perseverance. It's not difficult.
Occasionally, when I return home after finishing work, I can help the old lady hunt pigweed together.
Because Xian Si'an has not been here for a long time, the children in the village are not very familiar with him, and they dare not make friends with him. He either goes to work with his grandma or uncle every day.
Fortunately, Xianyu can make children happy. Although she has no peers, Si'an doesn't feel lonely yet.
"Si'an, daddy will weed tomorrow, how about you go with daddy?"
Xianyu raised his head and glanced at the protuberance who was sleeping on the small bed not far from him, Xian Si'an was about to fall asleep at this time, half dreaming and half awake, he vaguely heard his uncle calling him, and subconsciously answered.
"it is good."
Several children went to the field with their parents, and they all gathered there to catch loaches.
At first, Xian Si'an obediently sat on the small bench brought by his uncle, with the hat his grandmother gave him on his head, propped his chin and stared at his uncle at work.
There are not many people in their village who pay attention to it, not only children, but even many adults occasionally go to catch some loach and eat it home.
After dealing with the grass in the field, Xianyu washed away the soil he was stained with in the running water, just in time to see Si'an's bright eyes looking at those children curiously.
Even if he walked behind Xian Si'an, the little guy still didn't notice.
Xian Yu took a look along the line of sight, such a big kid is quite flexible in grabbing loach, basically everyone can grab two, Xian Si'an has one hand clenched into a fist, it seems that he wants to go try it.
"Si'an will try again tomorrow, the clothes are not easy to wash today."
The new clothes the old lady had just made for him were bright light yellow, which was rare in the village, and it was difficult to deal with whether it was stained with grass juice or other things.
"How about uncle grabbing one for you to play with?"
When Xian Si'an, who was still a little lost just now, heard this sentence, he suddenly raised his head and stared at his uncle.
"it is good."
Xianyu squatted there and observed carefully, trying to catch a smaller loach for Si'an to play with, but unexpectedly pulled out a rice field eel, which frightened Si'an to stand up abruptly, and fell to the ground.
"Si'an, I didn't catch a loach, so can I just catch this for fun?"
When I went out, I felt that today's work was easy, so I didn't bring water, and I was a little thirsty from the sun and wanted to go home.
I was too lazy to find another loach, so I wanted to ask Si'an if he could make do with it first.
After speaking, he handed the eel to Si'an, wanting him to see it clearly.
Although not as cute as the little loach, this guy is big, and the eldest one can still let the old lady cook him soup at night.
Xian Si'an didn't know how to refuse, so she just kept silent, hugged the chair and started running towards home, afraid to even say hello to her uncle.
With a puzzled expression on his face, Xianyu also followed, telling Si'an to run a little slower as he walked.
Now that the weather has started to heat up, Si'an wears relatively thin clothes, and he will definitely feel better if he falls.
Xian Si'an heard his uncle still calling him from behind, although his body was still crooked when he was running fast, but his two short legs were indeed running fast.
After finally getting home, I saw grandma sitting in the yard sewing clothes, put down the stool and got into grandma's arms.
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"Uncle, uncle catches snakes."
"Snake? Yuko, why is he catching a snake?"
The old lady was dumbfounded when she heard it. How could someone catch snakes without incident? I heard that there were children in the village who caught them when they were ignorant.
"Sian doesn't know."
Xian Si'an sobbed for a while, and even sucked her nose, her heart was still beating from the fright.
"It's okay, Si'an, grandma is here, grandma, take a look."
Xianyu didn't expect that little guy who seemed to be running erratically could run so fast. When he got home, he just opened the door and saw Si'an hiding in grandma's arms with an aggrieved face, and the old lady was looking at him.
"What are you doing to scare Si'an by catching snakes? Do you know that some people in our village were bitten to death by poisonous snakes a few years ago?"
When there is no way to identify whether a snake is poisonous or not, most people choose to avoid everything directly.
"Mother, this is an eel, which is a poisonous snake?"
The yellow eels that can be caught occasionally in the ditches are called yellow snakes in their village. They don't actually bite people, and they taste good when stewed.
"Is it a yellow snake?"
"Well, I wanted to catch a loach for Si'an to play with, but I didn't catch it, so I just caught an eel to make do with it. Who would have thought that Si'an would run so fast."
Xian Si'an held grandma's arm with both hands, and still felt a little scared after taking a look.
Thirsty Xianyu threw the eel into the wooden basin aside, Xian Si'an boldly leaned over to take a look when he went to the kitchen to drink water.
"Si'an, this one doesn't bite."
The old lady also knew that she had misunderstood. Si'an came back just now, and it was normal that she had never seen her there before and didn't know her.
"No bite?"
"Yes, grandma will cook soup for you tonight."
"it is good."
The old lady cleaned the rice field eel very neatly. She hadn’t seen such a big rice field eel in several years. She chopped it into small pieces and started making soup.
Taking advantage of this time, Xianyu repaired those unsafe chairs in the house that wobbled as soon as he sat on them.
Si'an was squatting next to him at this time, occasionally he could see his serious look from the corner of the eye, pretending to be holding a tool, Si'an subconsciously picked it up and handed it to his hand.
After handing it over, he raised his head and stared at him, as if he was waiting for a compliment.
