Chapter 818: Smart Yuanyuan
Yuanyuan cast the mobile phone into the schoolbag, and then came to the hall.
Smelled so good! As soon as he came to the hall, Yuanyuan caught the smell of food. He cast a look at the table, finding a lot of food on it. There were colorful small snacks, which were unknown to Yuanyuan. There was also a round pancake, covering the whole plate. Besides these, there were roast duck and meat strung with toothpicks and so on… So many delicious food.
With his round eyes wide open, Yuanyuan could not help swallowing saliva by the table. He reached out his small hand, wanting to grab a piece to eat. But he recalled that the teacher had said that children should not steal food to eat, so he could only watch with bare eyes.
Finally, when he could not help it, he ran to the kitchen and shouted to his mother who was cooking, “Mom, can I eat the food on the table?”
He was at first not hungry, but after seeing so much food, he really wanted to eat.
These foods were different from what he ate at home.
He Xiyan was at the moment making beef balls.
Seeing the child having gotten up, she quickly washed her hands and then handed the cup and toothbrush to Yuanyuan.
“You have to brush your teeth and wash your face before you eat. You can eat those things in the small plate. As for the food on the table, we will wait for other aunts and uncles to come to eat together at noon.” He Xiyan gently caressed Yuanyuan’s head, saying so with a smile.
She was really getting more and more fond of this child, who was smart and polite as well.
“I know, mom.” Following his mom’s words, Yuanyuan held the cup to brush his teeth.
After brushing his teeth, he ate the breakfast that his mom prepared for him, an egg and a small bowl of noodles.
He Xiyan was still busy in the kitchen.
At noon, five neighbors of the same group in the village together with the head of the village would come to their home for New Year’s dinner, more than a dozen of them in total, so she and Jiahang had to make more than a dozen dishes.
In the countryside, the New Year means a lot, so the neighbors would usually enjoy the New Year’s meal together. They would also go to another family to eat tomorrow. Every household took turns to treat others until the second day of the first lunar month. Young people would play cards and drink alcohol at night. That had developed to be a convention.
“Jiahang, go to uncle Li’s vegetable filed to pick some green chives, garlic and coriander. There’s not enough at home.” He Xiyan shouted to Jiahang who was chopping firewood.
It was really a big project for her to make a table of dishes with firewood.
Chen Jiahang put down the chopper in his hand and nodded slightly to He Xiyan.
Then he walked to the water tank, ready to wash his hands there.
At this time, Yuanyuan, having just finished his dinner, was also there, holding a big ladle. Since the water tank was a little high, he stood on tiptoe but could not bail the water out in the tank. Seeing Chen Jiahang coming over, he sweetly called, “Uncle, I want to wash ny hands.”
Yuanyuan looked at the tall uncle in front of him, an uncle who could not speak. So far, the uncle had not spoken a word to him.
The uncle would write to his mom, writing down what he wanted to say in his notebook, but he had not written to him.
Does this uncle not like Yuanyuan?
Yuanyuan couldn’t help but think like this.
After washing his hands, he followed Chen Jiahang out of the hall, and then suddenly tugged at his trousers and asked.
“Uncle, you don’t like Yuanyuan, do you?” Yuanyuan pouted his mouth wrongly, blinking his eyes.
Dad had said that if this dumb uncle hated him, he should send a message to him, a crying emoticon, then his dad would come to pick him up early.
