Chapter 7: 1970s sisters
Huo's two children.
Born to the same pair of parents, but they look completely different.
Huo Xingchao had handsome eyebrows. With a raised eyebrow and a blink of an eye, it was all romantic and unruly, with a good appearance.
Choose the place where your parents are good.
And Huo Chenyang looked very upright and awe-inspiring. With a Chinese character face and thick lips, he looks like an honest and loyal person.
Especially trustworthy.
- Just like the characters of the brothers.
When Huo Chenyang walked to the door, he happened to hear his younger brother mocking the people of the Jiang family. He couldn't hold back for a while, so he spoke up.
In his heart, this younger brother has never been in tune, but the Jiang family takes good care of him.
During this time in the countryside, he found that He Nian and He Yi were always neatly dressed, and they only occasionally helped the family pick some wild vegetables.
Jiang Xiaxia, on the contrary, often has to help grandma feed the chickens, and come to the field to deliver meals to grandma, and there are always patches on her clothes.
He felt that the Jiang family was good enough to the two brothers and sisters of the He family.
As a neighbor, it is good to be able to do this.
But Huo Xingchao didn't know how to repay the kindness, and it was too much to speak rudely here.
However, his younger brother, except for his grandfather, has no fear in his heart, so when he heard his words, he just glanced at him, then snorted lightly, and pulled He Yi to go inside.
"He Yi, let's go eat."
He Yi was unfamiliar with Huo Chenyang, and when he heard that he could eat, he nodded and followed brother Xingchao into the room with a hop.
As for He Nian, he glanced at him with a complicated expression, and in the end said nothing and followed into the room.
......
Huo Chenyang touched his nose, for some reason, he always felt that the little girl's attitude was a little strange today.
But he didn't think much of it.
Because Jiang Xiaxia on the side had quickly forgotten what Huo Xingchao had said before, and dragged Huo Chenyang to the kitchen.
"Brother Huo, my milk cooked meat today. Let's go to dinner too."
The house is full of people.
Grandma Jiang and her three sons were all sitting at the table, and Mother Huo was a guest and also sat.
As for the other children and daughter-in-law, they did not serve the table, but sat or stood on a few small stools beside the stove.
Seeing Huo Xingchao walking in with He Yi, his face was different, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
And Huo mother, the moment she saw her eldest son, tears welled up.
Standing up, "Chenyang..."
Huo Chenyang was also very excited.
He hadn't seen his family for more than half a year, and he stepped forward to support his mother, his voice trembling faintly.
"mom!"
"Skinny, really thin."
Mother Huo touched his face, then looked at the padded jacket still covered with grass clippings, tears welling up,
"I don't know if you have been away from home for more than half a year, whether you have enough to eat or wear warm clothes. Every day at home, Mom thinks about how you are doing in the country alone, but she doesn't dare to come to see you. …”
"Mom, don't worry, I'm fine. Especially Grandma Jiang and Uncle Jiang, they take good care of me. Don't worry."
"Yeah, Aunt Huo, Chenyang has been in Shaping Village for so long, and the people in the village praise him. Chenyang is a good boy. He can work and repay his gratitude. No one doesn't like him. Put it back firmly in the stomach."
......
Huo Xingchao understood Aunt Jiang's words, which had special meanings.
But he didn't care at all.
Anyway, the main purpose of his visit today was to see He Nian. If he hadn't waited for his mother to talk about the relationship between mother and son, he wouldn't even want to eat this meal.
However, at this moment, a shrill scream suddenly came from the main room.
"Ah! Milk! Milk!"
Before everyone could react, the voice became more and more flustered.
"Milk! Dad! Come on here!"
Grandma Jiang was stunned for a while, then stood up quickly,
"This is Xiuxiu's voice, what happened to this?"
"What can happen at home!"
Jiang Er's daughter-in-law was embarrassed because of her daughter's scream, so she also spat in panic,
"This girl has no wink, let's see if I don't beat her to death."
......
As a result, when everyone walked to the main room, they were all startled.
Because on the muddy ground, at the moment, there was a large snake with two wrists as thick as an adult.
The flowers are dark, black and yellow.
Coiled in a few circles, moved on the ground, and made a hissing sound.
He Nian has always been most afraid of snakes and insects.
So in summer, she tries her best not to go up the mountain if she can.
After her parents died, she had no choice but to wrap herself up and go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables.
Rao is like this, every day she goes home, she is often afraid of having nightmares.
When she saw such a big snake, she was so frightened that she could hardly make a sound.
The little face was already white with fright, and goosebumps all over his body.
And for some reason, the snake suddenly circled its body and approached them.
The direction they faced was exactly where Jiang Xiaxia was.
Although Jiang Xiaxia is usually bold, she is a little girl after all, and she cried out in fear.
"Ah! Milk, Dad, help!"
She hid in a panic, tears streaming down her face, and then subconsciously, she pushed the person beside her to block it.
What a coincidence, the person next to you.
- Exactly He Nian.
......
He Nian can't avoid it. What's more, she didn't have the strength to avoid it at all.
As long as she looked at the twisting body of the big snake, she felt numb all over, as if her whole body was under a spell, she couldn't move, and she watched as its body got closer and closer.
He closed his eyes sharply.
......
......
"He Nian, you step back."
Suddenly, a young man's voice came from his ear.
And Huo mother's frightened shouts.
"Star Dynasty!"
At first, there was nothing.
Neither near-close hiss.
There is also no disgusting touch.
It was empty.
The dark visual space is really scary. He Nian couldn't hold back, and quietly opened one eye.
......
The imaginary serpent did not appear.
In front of him was the back of a young man.
Huo Xingchao was standing in front of her, feeling that she didn't move, and pushed her back, "Why are you standing there stupidly, play on the side!"
He Nian was pushed to the corner.
The snake just stopped in front of the boy.
The snake's body stretched out, and Doudou's big eyes looked at him like this, hissing tongue out, so close that it almost touched his chin.
The young man frowned.
He looked at it seriously.
......
Everyone around was sweating with fright.
Mother Huo burst into tears, but she was held back by her eldest son and couldn't move.
Triangular head with fangs.
Obviously, this is a poisonous snake.
Although Jiang's house was built by a backer, for so many years, there has never been a case of a poisonous snake running into the house!
Uncle Jiang was holding a gourd and sweating profusely, for fear that this poisonous snake that appeared for no reason would be aggressive.
But did not expect.
One person and one snake looked at each other for a while, and the snake suddenly slowly retracted its head. After coiling on the ground a few times, it turned around and climbed out of the window.
Slowly.
Until the last tail disappeared before my eyes.
......
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Huo Chenyang let go of his mother's hand, and Huo's mother rushed up and beat the younger son in the face.
and crying,
"I'll let you show off your power and make you look for trouble. Why are you so powerful, you, ah! Do you know that it's a poisonous snake, Huo Xingchao, I won't teach you a lesson today, you are really lawless..."
Others rushed up to hold her.
"Auntie, forget it, anyway, it's a near miss, this child of Xingchao is lucky."
"Don't fight anymore, it's a big New Year's Eve, this might be a good omen, isn't the child okay?"
"Let's go to dinner, let's go to dinner, auntie, don't cry, Xingchao, come here, drink water to calm down..."
The crowd pulled them away.
He took Huo's mother to the stove again. Huo Xingchao took a few hits, scratched his head, and followed to comfort his mother.
Only He Nian is alone.
Standing in a daze, his face was still slightly pale, looking at the young man's back.
Don't know what to think.
It didn't take long for the boy to come back.
The tiger frightened her with a face,
"Why are you still standing there, don't be afraid that the snake will come back, hurry up and eat!"
......
The little girl's eyes finally turned red, her voice was soft and choked,
"Brother Huo, thank you."
"Thank me and write to me."
Huo Xingchao raised his eyebrows and threatened her, "I'll give you those stamps, you must send them to me before graduating next semester."
"Otherwise you are ungrateful, you know?"
......
"......I see."
The little girl smiled and nodded earnestly, "I will."
