Become a god in the world of Cthulhu

Chapter 181
When Hua Sijin returned to her grandmother, the table was already full of people, and only one seat next to her grandmother was left vacant, which was reserved for her.

Grandma Hua didn't ask anything, she just opened the chair a little so that the little girl could sit down.

Hua Sijin likes this kind of banquet very much. She can eat a little of each dish, and she feels very satisfied.The only thing that made her feel a little regretful was that there was no fried pork with mushrooms in this banquet!

The banquet lasted for nearly two hours before it was truly over. The guests dispersed, and Village Chief Tao's house gradually became quiet.

Village head Tao and his wife sat in front of the bed, taking stock of the family's belongings. Now that Shu'er has passed the Juren exam, she will naturally continue to take the exam.When a child travels far away to study alone, the parents are always worried, and they need to bring him some money.

Village head Tao recalled what county head Tan told him during the day, "Your son is full of talent, both ability and political integrity. If you continue your studies, you will definitely be able to make great achievements!"

"Duohong Confucianism in the capital is a good place to study!" These were the last words that County Magistrate Tan said before leaving.

Village Chief Tao hesitated, the capital city is still too far away!

In the end, it was Tao Shu who expressed his opinion, "Father, children are not afraid of distance, and they should not be afraid of hardships and difficulties in studying. The sharp edge of the sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. Parents, please rest assured and wait for the child to come back!" Tao Shu thought. , Returning home, this is probably the dream of every scholar, and he wants to make this dream come true.

Village head Tao didn't understand what swords and plum blossoms were, but he respected his son's wishes and let him go if he wanted to.It's a good thing that his son is so outstanding, so he should think about making a career for himself!Village head Tao told himself so in his heart.

"Little Tao Shu, go, you must work hard!" Hua Sijin thought for a long time, but she was really not very good at how to say goodbye, so she said this for a long time.

She knew that little Tao Shu was leaving, and no one would play with her in the future. Thinking of this, Hua Sijin felt a little sour in her heart.But little Tao Shu is going to study further. Although she doesn't understand the meaning of this word very well, she knows that it is a good thing.

"Okay! You have to be good!" Little Tao Shu stretched out his hand for the first time, rubbed the top of her hair, waved his hand, and left Bixi Village with his book bag on his back.

The weather is gradually getting cooler, but it will be the beginning of winter in a blink of an eye, and Hua Sijin's birthday is here.

"What birthday gift does Jin'er want this year?" Grandma Hua asked her a month in advance.

"I want a big table of food!" Hua Sijin blinked and replied quickly.

"Okay! I see!" Grandma Hua sighed softly. The little girl's birthday present every year requires a big table of food. I don't know, I thought she was always hungry and wouldn't give her food.But there was none at all, Jin'er had three meals a day, and never missed a single meal, and every meal was extraordinarily sweet.

On the day of Hua Sijin's birthday, Grandma Hua really cooked a big table of dishes as she said, a table full of six dishes in total, taking the auspicious meaning of Liuliu Dashun.

"Bazhen Chicken, Sweet and Sour Fish, Roasted Duck with Bamboo Shoots, Vegetable Emerald Roll, Meatball Soup, and... Stir-Fried Pork with Mushrooms!" Hua Sijin stood in front of the table, counting the dishes on the table.

"Wonderful!" Hua Sijin looked at the dishes on the table, her eyes sparkled, and she suddenly clapped her hands and laughed.

Grandma Hua heard the movement in the kitchen and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm just saying, grandma's dishes are well matched, meat and vegetables are balanced, and there is meatball soup to warm up, and also my favorite fried pork with mushrooms!" Hua Sijin walked to the door with a smile on her face , talking eloquently.

Hearing the praise, Grandma Hua's brows widened, she was very pleased, and said with a smile, "You little girl is poor!"

"I'll call the two little guys over!" Hua Sijin ran towards the door.

"Come back soon, don't wait for the food to get cold!" Grandma Hua urged in the yard.

"Got it!" Hua Sijin shouted from a distance.

"Aqing, Ake, eat more!" During the meal, Hua Sijin put a piece of duck for each of the two little guys, and said with a smile.

The little guys said in unison, "Thank you sister Jin'er!"

Hua Sijin looked at the little guy's obedient and cute appearance, smiled and rolled his eyes, and said repeatedly, "No thanks, no thanks, don't be polite to sister Jin'er!"

The two little guys are two children from the neighbor's house. Ake is the elder brother, five years old, and Aqing is the younger sister, three years old this year. Both little guys are very good.I always like to chase after Hua Sijin and ask, sister Jin'er, what are you doing?At this time, Hua Sijin will answer them with a smile, and then take them to play together.

"Happy birthday to Sister Jin'er!" After the meal, little Ah Qing took out a bracelet woven with red string from her bosom, on which was hung a crystal-clear amber pendant in the shape of a plump, round drop.

Hua Sijin took it over and touched the small pendant carefully. It felt like jade but not jade. After pondering for a while, Hua Sijin's eyes lit up, "This is the herring stone!"

"Sister Jin'er is really smart!" Ah Qing said with a smile.

"This is the herring that my father caught, my brother dried and polished it, and I wove the rope. By the way, sister Jin'er, I heard that this can exorcise evil spirits!" Ah Qing introduced in a rambling manner.

Hua Sijin lovingly rubbed Ah Qing's little face, carefully looked at the bracelet in her hand, and said with a smile, "It's so beautiful! Thank you all! Sister Jin'er likes this gift very much."

Ah Qing and A Ke blushed happily, "It's good that sister Jin'er likes it!"

At night, Hua Sijin took out the bracelet from her arms, tied it on her left wrist, and fell asleep peacefully.

"Ajin, is your Grandma Hua at home?" Hua Sijin was watering the mushrooms in the yard when she heard a voice above her head. Hua Sijin looked up and said, "Brother Changhong!"

"A Jin!" The young man called Brother Changhong smiled softly, with a pair of faint dimples on his cheeks, which looked a little cute. "Grandmother has gone out, but if there is something wrong, it's the same as telling me." Hua Sijin replied.

"Oh! This is the money from the last time I went to the market to help Grandma Hua sell handkerchiefs. Remember to give it to Grandma Hua!" Changhong smiled, and took out a half-worn handkerchief wrapped with money from his pocket.
"Excuse!" Song Xiao glanced at him and said in disbelief.

"No matter what, I really broke my promise!" Tao Shu bent down and picked up a stone from the ground, made a gesture of swearing, looked up at Song Xiao and said, "If Sijin still has complaints, otherwise, you Hit me once, this time I promise I will never say it. Really! This time, even... even if my dad comes out with a whip thicker than this tree, I will never say it again!"

While Tao Shu was talking seriously, he pointed to the willow tree where Hua Sijin was sitting, which was as thick as a person's arms.

"It's Sister Ah Xiao!" Hua Sijin corrected.

"Don't! I'm not mean-spirited, the last time was enough!" Song Xiao leisurely took off a willow leaf and threw it down, watching it stumble to the ground.

After all, it was the first time in her life that the little girl admitted her mistake, so she was inevitably a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and twisted her clothes, and said softly, "Grandma, Jin'er has figured it out. Tomorrow, Jin'er will personally go to Hua Shu to apologize!"

Grandma Song was shocked. How determined must the little girl be to say such words as personally apologizing!
Thinking about these thoughts, Grandma Song smiled gratifiedly and said, "It's good that the girl can figure it out!"

"But it's not necessary to make amends in person." Grandma Song changed her voice, looked at the little girl with pity and said slowly, "Girl, with your grandmother around, you will never have to suffer. I, an old woman, will take good care of you." ! "Grandma Song said, and her tone gradually became a little desolate.

A girl shouldn't have lived such a life. She should have been pampered in the boudoir, like other official ladies, who grew up with rich clothes and fine food, accompanied by piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or followed her mother to dance with guns and swords, wandering in the rivers and lakes, Happy Enmity.No matter what, it shouldn't be hiding in this remote village with her old woman and living carefully.

It's a pity that good fortune tricks people! She, an old woman, can't do anything else but protect Jin'er in peace and happiness during her lifetime.

Jin'er looked at her grandmother half-understood, but she couldn't understand what she meant.

Grandma Song pinched the little girl's dirty face, and urged with a smile, "You don't need to understand, just be happy, girl. But, don't be so reckless next time. Look at your dirty little face, you've become a girl today My favorite dish is fried pork with mushrooms, Xiaohuamao, hurry up and wash your face, and get ready for dinner!"

When she heard that she wanted to eat fried meat with mushrooms, the little girl's eyes instantly lit up, and she happily agreed to wash her hands.

Grandma Song looked at the back of the little girl happily bouncing away, smiled helplessly and shook her head, the little girl has a soft spot for this dish, even three meals a day might not be enough.However, eating the same dish all day is also afraid that the little girl's diet will not be adjusted. Finally, after negotiation, it will be three meals a day, and one meal must be fried pork with mushrooms.

Fortunately, as long as you take good care of it, oyster mushrooms can be grown all year round, so she planted some in the yard.Pork is even better. There is a butcher Zhang in the village, just a few steps away from their home. Whenever the pork at home is finished, they can go to butcher Zhang at any time to sell it.Therefore, it is not difficult to satisfy this little hobby of the girl.

The next day, Grandma Song went to the village chief's house with two chickens.

Li Xiuzhu was sitting in the yard drying the quilt when she saw Grandma Song coming in carrying something, she casually put the quilt on the rope, clapped her hands and came over, "Aunt Hua is here! I told you it was just a kid's fight, don't worry about it." Take it to heart, besides, the girl didn't do it on purpose!"

"Xiuzhu, don't be polite to me. The child is hurt anyway. This is for the child to mend his body. It's shocking! You? No," Grandma Song explained while shaking the things in her hand .

"Hey!" Seeing this, Li Xiuzhu readily took the things, and said with a smile, "Then I will thank Aunt Hua for Shu'er. If Aunt Hua is not busy, come in and sit down!"

Grandma Song shook her head with a smile, "No, I have to go back and embroider a few handkerchiefs, and ask Chang Hong to send them to the market to sell tomorrow!"

"Okay, then go get busy!" Li Xiuzhu nodded understandingly and said.

Li Xiuzhu watched Grandma Song leave, and then took all the things back into the house, and the complaints that were not deep in her heart gradually faded away.

It is not easy to talk about Aunt Hua. There was a flood in her hometown, and she was separated from her family in the chaos. She fled to Bixi Village alone with her infant granddaughter.But fortunately, the old lady still has a good handicraft, and can still rely on embroidering some handkerchiefs to survive.In the past eight years, a lonely old woman and her little granddaughter have lived a decent life.

Aunt Hua is also extremely kind, but the little granddaughter she brought up with one hand is really too naughty.Either scaring someone's dog into the river all day, or jumping out from behind the wall at night to scare passers-by, or rushing into the ducks by the river, scaring the ducks to run around, or just three or two In a word, someone's little doll cried angrily for a long while.And so on, too many to enumerate.

But fortunately, they were all small things, and no major disasters were caused.Hurt Shu'er this time, it should be the biggest disaster that the little girl has ever encountered.Fortunately, the child has little strength and did not cause any serious problems.However, judging by Aunt Hua's attitude, she should have taken it to heart, and hoped that after the little girl was trained, she would be able to calm down a bit.

Li Xiuzhu thought about it, shook her head and sighed, she caught a glimpse of the quilt she hadn't aired just now from the corner of her eye.

"Yo! I almost forgot!" Li Xiuzhu patted her head, then ran to the yard to dry the quilt with small steps.

Such an ordinary and stable life is the fastest. With a flick of a finger, Song Xiao also changed from the naughty and childish little girl who accidentally smashed other people's foreheads with throwing stones, into a, uh...throwing leaves Play the 'mature and stable' big girl.

Coincidentally, she hit the same person.

"Huh! I remember it clearly. Before you went home, you clearly promised me that you would not tell me that it was mine. Then, as soon as you went back, your mother brought you here in a fierce manner. Fortunately, I was witty. , and hid in time!" Song Xiao got angry when he mentioned this matter, pulled another leaf, and threw it at the boy under the tree bitterly.

The leaves whirled lightly in the air, and slowly landed at Tao Shu's feet.

"I, Song Xiao, dare to act and act. I did it. I admit to whatever punishment I receive. But I didn't expect you to be so despicable and shameless. I didn't say anything, it was obviously you. You insisted on assuring me that you would not tell me out, but you betrayed me in a blink of an eye, it's just...it's a villain's behavior!" Song Xiao got stuck at the end of the talk, and found out after thinking for a while A word she thinks fits well.

Tao Shu complained: What kind of punishment! Grandma Song is so precious to you that she wouldn't even be willing to touch a hair of your hair, so how could she be willing to punish you!However, what happened back then was indeed his fault.

Tao Shu showed embarrassment, "It was indeed my fault for that matter, I broke my promise. However, there is indeed a reason for what happened."

As Tao Shu said, his brows gradually tightened, "You don't even know! A few days ago, my father just got a piece of cowhide, which was not too big or too small. He thought it might be just right to make a whip, but it turned out to be true." I made it for him. When I came home, my mother was asking me what was going on, but I refused to say it. When my father saw it, he got anxious and pulled out the newly twisted rope from his waist, which was thicker than hemp rope. The whip asked me if I would say anything.
