Wanghai County, Caochang.

Although Xiaoduo was deeply dissatisfied with Shengnan's father, this smart girl would never show any signs of it in front of her parents, sister, and sister-in-law.

Just like that, she watched her parents board the carriage with a normal expression, and disappeared from sight little by little in the afterglow of dusk.

Then, when she turned around and walked back, the smile on her face disappeared completely.

After returning to the house, she fetched a basin of water and brought it to the room where she slept, so that Lingling and Jiaojiao could take a small bath together.

Lingling is nine years old and Jiaojiao is three years old.

Lingling can not only take a bath by herself, but can also help her sister Jiaojiao wash them together.

"Lingling, you take your sister to take a bath, and Auntie will cook dinner for you." Xiaoduo touched Lingling's head and said.

Lingling smiled sweetly and nodded.

Three-year-old Jiaojiao held a little rag doll in her hand, raised her little head and asked Xiaoduo: "Mom, what are you eating at night?"

"Then what do I, Jiaojiao, want to eat at night?" Xiaoduo asked.

Jiaojiao thought for a while, "I want to eat the big pot at noon. The quail eggs in it are delicious."

Xiaoduo's face was soft and she said to the sisters: "You guys take a bath obediently. Mom will cook some noodles for you. Let's put the noodles in the pot of soup at noon."

"Are there no balls?" Jiaojiao asked again.

Xiaoduo was a little confused because all the quail eggs fell into the pot at noon.

She paid special attention to it. Her father and mother ate very reservedly, basically eating mushrooms in the three-delicacy pot, and occasionally eating one or two pieces of meat.

And the meat was meat they brought here themselves. It was said that my aunt’s family had killed pigs in the past two days, and the meat was very fresh.

In addition to mushrooms, meat, and quail eggs, there are also a few leftover bacon bones from the Chinese New Year in the three-fresh pot.

My father-in-law said that he didn’t care about meat, so he kept fishing for quail eggs with a big spoon.

So the father of quail eggs eats the most.

"The eggs are gone. I'll get them for you next time. Let's make do with them tonight!"

Xiang Shengnan also came in and said when he heard Jiaojiao asking Xiaoduo for quail eggs.

After finishing speaking, he said to Xiaoduo: "I'll take care of dinner. You're really tired with such a big belly."

Xiang Shengnan said this because he wanted to show off.

Normally, if he said and did this, Xiaoduo's face would definitely be full of shyness and joy.

But he didn't know what was going on at the moment, so he just didn't say anything. As soon as he said it, Xiaoduo's face fell instantly.

She opened her mouth, apparently wanting to say something to him, but due to the presence of the two children, Xiaoduo couldn't help it and turned around and left the room.

He ignored Xiang Shengnan from beginning to end.

Xiang Shengnan looked confused. He didn't seem to have done anything bad, right? How could he please her but still make her angry?

When he lowered his head, he found the two children looking at him.

Jiaojiao still had a confused look on her face, her eyes blinked, and she tugged on Xiang Shengnan's clothes as if she wanted to whisper something.

Xiang Shengnan subconsciously leaned down, Lingling stood on tiptoe and whispered a few words into his ear.

Xiang Shengnan's face was full of surprise: "Lingling, this can't be done, right?"

Lingling nodded seriously, "My sister wanted to eat quail eggs, but there were no more quail eggs. I heard my aunt whisper that grandpa had eaten them."

Xiang Shengnan frowned and recalled a few incidents that happened at the lunch table. He estimated that Xiaoduo was angry for this reason.

"Uncle, hurry up and coax my aunt!" Lingling's eyes were full of worry and she pushed Xiang Shengnan out.

Xiang Shengnan sighed and told Lingling: "You help my sister take a bath, your aunt and I will be fine."

"Yeah!" Lingling nodded again.

Looking at Xiang Shengnan's leaving figure, she prayed anxiously in her heart, hoping that her uncle and aunt would reconcile soon.

The uncle must not make the aunt run away in anger, and the aunt must not kick the uncle out of the house.

After the summer last year, my uncle suddenly disappeared. During those days, my aunt cried every day. She still remembers it. The little girl never wanted to go back to the state she was in at that time. It was too uncomfortable. She wanted her uncle and aunt.

Everything is fine. The family is eating and talking happily together.

In the kitchen.

Xiaoduo is kneading dough.

Xiang Shengnan carefully entered the house and came to the pot.

"Are you angry about the quail eggs?" he asked tentatively.

The movements in Xiaoduo's hands continued unabated, "Did that little girl Lingling tell you?"

Xiang Shengnan was stunned.

Xiaoduo raised her eyelids and glanced at him, snorting, "Are you capable? Have you learned how to inquire with children?"

Xiang Shengnan laughed along with him: "I didn't ask, the children told me themselves. Children are attentive, and they can feel the slightest difference between us adults."

"So Duo'er, let's talk about it carefully if we have anything to do, and don't get embarrassed easily and scare the children."

Xiaoduo slammed the dough that was as smooth as a mirror into the basin, and raised her head with a look of grievance and anger on her face.

"I don't want to scare the children, but your father did it. What's the matter?"

"We usually spend money to buy meat at home, but he eats it. He says that if he doesn't eat meat, he wets the bed at night and has no energy. It seems like we are demanding food and clothing for him!"

"My parents brought a lot of meat here today, and he didn't eat any of it!"

"You go into the mountains and pick up some quail eggs. The children are very curious about it, but he pounces on them and eats them. When he picks the quail eggs, his eyes are bigger than the quail eggs themselves!"

"As an old man and an elder, other people always take care of the children first, but it would be better for him to compete with the children. Is this ridiculous?"

The more Xiaoduo talked, the angrier she became, and when she said these things, she became very upset for old man Wang Hongquan!

It's really embarrassing and shameful to eat just for the sake of your mouth!

Xiang Shengnan was also blushing and embarrassed.

"I've seen it too, but as a child, it's not easy for me to complain about such trivial matters to my father, right? That doesn't make sense!" He hesitated.

He himself didn't touch a single quail egg at noon.

Because he found that the two children liked them very much, he "disliked" them. This should be human nature.

But this old man seems to be missing a little bit.

"Don't worry, Duo'er. If it rains tomorrow, I will go into the mountains to look for quails again. If I find quails this time, you will cook them for the children alone and don't serve them to the table. Let the children eat to their heart's content."

Xiang Shengnan's words calmed down Xiaoduo's anger and grievance a little.

Then I heard Xiang Shengnan say: "And you, if you want to eat something, tell me. If we don't have it on hand, I will go to the town to buy it."

Xiaoduo's anger once again decreased by several points.

She was finally willing to raise her eyes to look at Xiang Shengnan and talk to him calmly.

"I'm not the most angry about the food."

"Then what are you most angry about?"

"It's your dad."

"My dad? Besides quail eggs, what else does my dad have?" Monk Xiang Shengnan Zhang Er was confused.

Xiaoduo bit her lip, intending to lower her face and express her unhappiness.

"Your father is deliberately pretending to be stupid..."
