Chapter 175： The little fool in the group favorite article 18

When Xie Hui was cooking the porridge, he added some lean meat into it, and the taste was quite fresh.

When it was served on the table, Ning Ning didn't dare to resist his father, holding the spoon and drinking the porridge silently.

Xie Hui picked up a piece of bacon himself. This kind of fat and thin bacon tastes the best. It's not too greasy, and it doesn't feel like firewood. It tastes delicious when you eat it.

"Hey, it's really delicious."

The little guy who was drinking the porridge in silence froze when he heard these words, raised his head to stare at his father, and groaned aggrievedly.

"Originally, Daddy also planned to have porridge at noon, but Daddy felt that he was angry with you, so he wanted to eat some bacon to make up for it."

Xie Hui looked at him so wronged that his eyes started to turn red, so he patiently explained the reason to him.

In the past few days, they have indeed eaten porridge at noon.

In winter, apart from radishes and cabbage, there are no other fresh vegetables, such as pickles, and Ningning doesn't like to eat them, but he likes lean meat porridge.

Xie Hui didn't have the idea of ​​letting the kids eat whatever they didn't like. He didn't like this, so Xie Hui would make him something more delicious.

Originally, Xie Hui bought this bacon to eat during the Chinese New Year, but today is just right, so let's get angry at this brat who is disobedient and he is reluctant to beat him.

"How many times have I told you, if you are sleepy, go out for a walk, and don't stay by the fire."

If it wasn't for the fact that Xie Hui was beside him at the time, this little brat would have been sleepy while warming up, and he might have thrown his head into the fire.

Later, he was punished and asked to stand against the wall. He knew that he had made a mistake, and said that he would use this time to memorize the book. Unexpectedly, he started to feel sleepy again after watching it.

"Daddy, I know I was wrong..."

Xie looked back at him apologizing to himself, and nodded slightly.

"Well, no next time."

Although Ning Ning was greedy, he also felt wronged by his father for not giving him food, but he didn't dare to say anything, and silently drank two bowls of porridge.

Xie Hui looked at his well-behaved and sensible appearance, but felt a little soft-hearted, and forced himself to look away from him.

He is very distressed when he should feel sorry for the child, but like now, he can't when he shouldn't.

If he softened his heart and compromised when he saw his appearance, then this so-called punishment would have no effect.

There was no snow in the afternoon, Xie Hui saw that there was not enough firewood at home, so he planned to take Ningning up the mountain to collect some firewood.

When going up the mountain, let him wear the hat he made for Ningning last time.

"If you do well this afternoon, then tonight..."

Before Xie could finish his reply, Ning Ning ran over and hugged his leg, hung on his leg and raised her head, her beautiful eyes were full of anticipation and joy.

"I also eat bacon at night, right?"

Xie Hui gently pinched his nose and nodded.

"Um."

The child is very playful, and there is still some snow on the mountain, Xie Hui always leads him.

Because the weather was pretty good this afternoon, there were quite a lot of people going up the mountain to collect firewood. Xie Hui met two along the way.

The reason why he had been unwilling to help the people of the Xie family before was because he had old grudges, and he really felt that they were not worthy at all.

Just now he met a former hunter in the village who went up the mountain to collect firewood. He was limped because of an accident. In winter, he went up the mountain to collect firewood and sold it to those in the village with good conditions to earn some money.

As long as you are willing to do it, it is impossible to starve to death.

If you don't want to work and just want to sit back and enjoy the benefits, how can there be such a good thing.

In order to be able to eat bacon, this cub was not good at himself, and when he went down the mountain, he took two dry sticks, walked in front and ran fast with short legs.

Before the Chinese New Year, when Xie Hui was still at the village chief's house planning to go to the county seat, he asked them to bring some wheat flour back for him, and planned to make dumplings during the Chinese New Year.

Xie's family used to make dumplings during Chinese New Year, but neither the client nor his son had eaten them once.

Xie Hui thought of how greedy this little brat was, and the scene in the client's memory of him standing by the door quietly watching Xie's family eat, so he thought about making it for him too.

On New Year's Eve, Ning Ning, who usually only ate one bowl of rice, ate three bowls of dumplings.

After eating, even walking slowed down, Xie Hui couldn't be happy seeing him stretching himself like that.

The cub in question was completely unaware of his father's thoughts, and ran over there to warm up the fire after eating, staring at the firelight falling on the snow, feeling that this scene was extraordinarily novel.

Xie Hui cleaned up the kitchen, and when he went out, he saw him secretly playing with the snow again, and coughed.

The cub who quietly squeezed a handful of snow into a ball, silently withdrew his hand back when he heard his father coughing.

While warming up the fire, the snow was falling more and more heavily. Sitting there watching, Ning Ning felt a little itchy, and wanted to reach out and try to catch it.

He glanced at his father cautiously, and stretched out his hand where his father could not see.

Xie Hui didn't really like to watch him play in the snow, because this little boy was neither serious nor heavy, his clothes were half wet last time, and he was afraid that he would catch a cold in winter.

But looking at his sneaky appearance to catch the snowflakes, he didn't stop him, even moved the stool to his side and stretched out his hand.

"Let's see who can get it first?"

"Hurrah!"

The atmosphere here is very warm, but the Xie family's New Year's Eve party is also very noisy.

Xie Kangli was spoiled by the old lady since she was a child, and she didn't even notice that other people's attitude towards her had changed a long time ago. She thought she was the little ancestor from before.

On the day of the Chinese New Year, she was clamoring for dumplings, but when her sister heard this, she also started clamoring for dumplings.

In the end, Brother Xie walked over and slapped each of them.

"Eat, eat, eat, eat all day long!"

The old lady who has always doted on Xie Kangli and treated her like a treasure turned a blind eye to this scene, she has long since become numb.

In the end, Brother Xie went to other people in the village to borrow some grain, considering that he would have to pay it back next year, so he borrowed very little. They didn't have to work in the twelfth lunar month, and they ate a few grains of rice in the water for every meal.

When I was upset, I just heard Xie Kangli say that she wanted to eat dumplings. Thinking of the scene of their family's Chinese New Year last year, I felt even more angry.

That night, Xie Hui also stuffed some copper coins under the kid's pillow.

As soon as the first month was over, Xie Hui made preparations for Shu Xiu, intending to send his son to a scholar in a neighboring village.

That scholar failed many times, so he simply gave up his mind, taught here, and barely supported his family. He looked a bit old-fashioned.

As soon as spring started, Xie Hui got busy with farming, and he casually put the few packets of seeds he bought on the other side.

Unexpectedly, on the first day when Ning Ning was sent to school, when he picked him up, he burst into tears.

On the way home, the six-year-old child still wanted to cling to Xie Hui and let him hug him.

Although Xie Hui was tired all day, seeing how wronged he was, he still hugged him.

"What's wrong? Someone bullied you in the school?"

Ning Ning hugged her father's neck and shook her head lightly.

"Master, Master, it hurts when he beats someone."

After finishing speaking, Ning Ning handed her palm in front of her father.

The little hand was indeed a little red and swollen. Xie Hui glanced at Ningning again after reading it. The tears that had been rolling in his eyes had completely flowed down at this moment.

"Woo, daddy won't come to school tomorrow, okay? I'm afraid, oh."

Xie Hui didn't know how to answer this little brat for a while.

Masters in this era are not like modern times. It is normal to beat people with a ruler.

When most parents send their children there, they even ask their master to teach them a lesson when their children are disobedient.

Now they are just ordinary people, and Xie Hui doesn't do anything special. It is true that the pitiful heartache of seeing his son crying after being beaten is true, but there is really nothing to do.

"Why did Master beat you?"

"Because I don't know how to write that, the master said I don't look like holding a pen, I, I rolled up my sleeves as if I was going to fight with someone."

Xie Hui endured and endured, and then he restrained the corners of his lips that wanted to turn up.

He had discovered before that Ning Ning's pen-holding posture was not standard, and he had corrected it many times and still remained the same.

He is such a patient person, it is a bit of a headache, let alone the teacher in the school.

"So have you corrected it?"

When Ning Ning heard this, tears fell more happily, and she pursed her lips and replied:

"If I correct it, the master will stop beating me."

Xie Hui patiently explained a lot to him, but judging by the appearance of this little brat, he obviously didn't take it to heart.

"Daddy, do you have to study? I don't want to study anymore."

In this case, Xie Hui nodded seriously after he asked this sentence.

"Yes, you must read."

"If you don't study, when you get a little older, you will be like your father and start doing farm work in the fields, exposed to the wind and the sun."

After hearing what her father said, Ning Ning was silent for a long time, and when she got home, she asked silently:

"Daddy, can't I go to do carpentry for others?"

"Now you're too young to be able to."

He was tired of studying after being beaten once, and any father in this era would definitely give him another beating.

Xie Hui didn't like beating children, so if he wanted to tell such an older cub a reason he could understand, it was bound to take a lot of effort.

"Go obediently and read again what the master told you this year. Today, when Dad went to work, he caught two fish and brought them back to stew fish soup for you."

As soon as he heard that there was something delicious, Ning Ning's eyes immediately became eager.

"Really?"

"Well, really, go."

Because there was fish soup as a temptation, Ning Ning obediently took out her book, and when she was squatting under the eaves to study, she saw two packets of seeds that her father had put there at some time, took a branch, and started digging the soil .

He didn't read much in the book, but he dropped half of the bag of seeds.

It wasn't until Xie Hui asked him to eat that Ning Ning put down the things in his hand with a guilty conscience, went to wash his hands, and ran over to get the bowls and chopsticks.

One day, when Xie Hui came back, he accidentally found that there seemed to be some weeds in the yard.
