"Listen to me, the little ball seems to be talking about 'corruption'." When the elder sister heard this, He Yuan seemed to make a sound in his sleep. She covered He Nian's mouth and said, "Little olive and little ball can walk, but they still can't speak." "Could it be that you're learning to speak in your dreams at this moment?"
He Nian listened attentively and said in surprise, "They seem to be talking about 'rice'. Don't tell me that after you fed them rice porridge and tofu today, you ate this again and said the name in your dreams?"
The next day, the elder sister did everything she could to make the little olive and the little round ball talk. First, she made them learn to call her "mother", and after seeing them speak in a "pinch" tone for a long time, she became overjoyed. He then told Chun Ying and Qiuyan, "My brother's child is already calling out 'Mom and Dad' before she's a year old. I'm rather envious, but I'm so depressed when I see that little olive and little ball can't speak up. Now that I have spoken, I will definitely be called over in a few days. If there's nothing else to do, I'll have to teach them to talk a lot. " Over the next few days, the little olives and the round ones spent their days pinching each other. Although they still couldn't produce the standard sound, they would occasionally produce a single sound or two. His steps were quite steady. Sometimes, he would even be able to run a few steps while holding his hands up.
Because of the sesame seed cake made in his house that day, He Yuan saw that the sesame seed cake was small and flat, half golden in color, with sesame seeds sprinkled on both sides. Its fragrance assailed his nostrils. After she ate one piece, she thought of eating another. Since she couldn't speak, she could only point at the plate on the table. Ever since he became a child, He Yuan was not only emotional, but also liked to eat like a child. He especially loved eating sweets, cakes and the like.
He Nian saw He Yuan pointing at the plate and didn't hurry to give her the cake, but teased her, "Ah, little ball, if you call me daddy, I'll bring you the cake!"
"Pinch, pinch!" He Yuan really wanted to call out 'Daddy', but he didn't know that the tone that came out of his mouth was one of pinching words, so he helplessly used his finger to make it seem like he was pitiful. Wu, I only wanted to eat another sesame seed cake, is there really a need to make things difficult for me?
"Father!" Suddenly, olives's voice came from the side, shouting loudly, "Cake!"
It can't be? Little big brother, you can talk like that, and you even jump two words in a row? He Yuan was aggrieved and indignant. Why couldn't he say anything at all? Was it a matter of character?
"Wow, little olives can talk!" He Nian was surprised and happy at the same time. He picked up the olives and turned them in a circle. Then, he laughed as he took a sesame seed cake and stuffed it into the olives' mouth. The little olives were talking about the sesame seed cake as they proudly looked at He Yuan.
He Yuan silently cried and decided to go to the corner of the wall to draw circles.
He Nian put down the olives and was about to give a sesame seed cake to He Yuan when he saw the olives take the sesame seed cake from his mouth and put it into He Yuan's mouth. He gestured at his own small mouth to give He Yuan a bite!
Little big brother is so nice to me! Even though the side of the biscuit was smeared with the little olive's saliva, He Yuan still took a small bite out of it. The little olives raised the sesame seed cake and saw a small gap. Then, they stuffed the sesame seed cake into the round mouth, indicating that they should take another bite. When He Yuan saw that the little olives had stuffed the bread again, he opened his mouth wide to signal that he was going to swallow the cake in one bite. He was so frightened that the little olives withdrew his hand and pulled the cake away. Little sister, just one bite is enough. Swallowing all the pancakes is not good.
Awoo, I'm coming over to swallow! When He Yuan saw the little olives patting his chest in shock, he decided to tease him a little more. Opening his mouth wide, he extended his neck as if he was a small dog about to pounce on the small olives and bite the bone, then rushed towards the sesame cake in his hand. As expected, the little olive hurriedly hid behind He Nian, not daring to come out.
Seeing the brother and sister making a scene, He Nian took out a sesame seed cake and handed it to He Yuan. He smiled and said, "Although you don't know how to talk, your father will give you a sesame seed cake."
He Yuan took the biscuit and walked over to the olives with a grin. The olives saw that she also had the biscuit in her hands, so they stood there holding He Nian's thighs. He Yuan walked closer and stuffed the sesame seed cake in his hand into the small olive's mouth, motioning for him to take a bite. Hehe, I just bit you, so I'll give you a bite back!
AHH!" The little olive also deliberately opened its mouth wide, indicating that it wanted to swallow the whole cake. "He Yuan looked at him with a wide smile, but didn't take the cake away. His mouth was wide open, but he had only taken a small bite.
"Brother's sister is really interesting!" Wang Ma, who was watching from the side, smiled and said, "Young Mistress, just hold on tight and give birth to a few more!"
Did you hear that? He Yuan saw that his elder sister was laying out something on the other side of the table. He looked over and gave her a meaningful look: Wang Ma's words represent my mother's intentions. You have to work hard!
This matter, just my hard work alone isn't enough! Seeing that Wang Ma didn't look over, the elder sister looked back and forth with He Nian and their gazes met.
How can we continue to work hard tonight? He Nian gave him a meaningful look.
Dad, mom, can you not treat us as transparent people? He Yuan raised his head and saw the tight exchange in the eyes of He Nian and his elder sister. He was deeply moved. So, finding the right person could be a form of love.
A few days later, the elder sister took advantage of her free time to make a set of needlework to present to Mrs. He. Mrs. He saw that although the needlework was done in a hurry, it was still exquisite.
Since September was Old Master He's birthday, Mrs. He thought about it. If she didn't go back, it would be inappropriate, so she decided to set off. At this moment, he put away the needle and thread in his hand. Seeing that He Nian had also written out his couplet, he smiled and said, "The Old Master and Old Granny all talk about Big Sis Zhen, if I don't see them now, I'll have to draw a small elephant to go back and have a look at them."
He Nian agreed, and then smiled: "I saw them playing with a ball a while ago, and the ball rolled far away. The two chased after it, and finally caught up with it. Take this and go back! " Saying that, he went to find the small elephant.
Madam He saw how similar the painting was, so she quickly ordered Zi Luo to put it away. She told He Nian to talk to her for a while, saying that when she returned to the capital, she had to be careful and get up early to go to bed.
After sending Mrs. He out, the lady smiled and said to He Nian, "Madam wants to go back to the capital first, but I don't know when we'll go back to the capital too. You have to tell me about the people and matters in your residence again. "
The Residence of He was under the Old Master, and had five rooms. He Yin Jin of the main house, He Wang of the third house, and He Wang of the fifth house were born from the direct line. He Yin Mu of the second house and He Yin Huo of the fourth house were born from a concubine. Other than He Nian, the grandson of this generation that the Old He doted on the most, the rest of the families mostly married the daughter of an aristocratic family. The He family could be said to be deeply ingrained in their family.
As she listened to He Nianming talk about the people in the Residence of He, she sighed with emotion, "These are the so-called aristocratic families!"
Two years after Mrs. He's return to the capital, when she was three years old, a letter came from the capital asking He Nian to bring his elder sister and their family to the capital.
It turned out that the new emperor had spent four years smoothing out the situation, and his heart had gradually settled down. It was the peaceful time, and the new emperor had lost his interest in the He family. Thus, he was sending a letter to the He family to return to the capital.
Just as He Nian and his elder sister were discussing about entering the capital, Wang Ma took the olives and He Yuan to play in the garden. From time to time, she would ask a few questions, "Did elder brother and his elder sister sleep in the same room with your mother last night?"
Hearing Wang Ma's question, the little olive stuffed a piece of candy into its mouth, and vaguely said, "My mother told us a story, and then slept with her in the room."
Mother Wang, what do you want to know? He Yuan also had a piece of candy in his hand. This time, he would peel off the sweet paper and put it into his mouth. Wang Ma whispered again, "Sister Wang, have you seen your parents playing together tonight?"
It was more than hugging and playing together! He Yuan looked warily at Wang Ma. Yo, why is this old man so interested in my old lady's room? Unusual!
"They didn't play, they hid under the blankets and fought. Mother was still crying in pain!" Hearing Wang Ma's question, the little olives patted his chest and said, "Last night, I woke up in the middle of the night and heard mother groaning. It seems like my father was bullying my mother. I got up and looked. They were actually hiding in the quilt and fighting! Then I shouted, 'No fighting!' So they didn't move and just went to sleep! "
Little big brother, little big brother, how can you say that? He Yuan secretly began to sweat profusely. Ahh, I must find a way to inform the old lady. Our family's little brother has become more sensible with me, please restrain yourself in the future. Wang Ma muttered to herself, "We don't have that many people in this room. We're already three years old, and Young Mistress hasn't even gotten pregnant yet. Don't we make people anxious?"
Wang Ma, so that's what you're worried about! He Yuan let out a quiet sigh. Yes, according to our family's guesses, it was because dad was too hardworking, so it wasn't easy to get pregnant. If he went to the capital, his father would have something to do. The two of them might not be so busy, they might even have younger brothers and sisters!
In the evening, He Yuan found a chance to whisper to his elder sister, "Mother, Wang Ma brought me and little brother to play in the garden. Little brother told Wang Ma that you and father were fighting under the covers last night!"
"Ugh!" When the young mistress heard this, she blushed. She waited for He Nian to come into the room, but no one came. She complained, "You've already been married for a few years, and yet you're still like a wolf or a tiger. Last night, the little olive and the little round ball came in to sleep, I told you to be quiet, you were still making trouble, today the little olive is learning from Wang Ma. "
He Nian smiled and said, "Actually, you shouted too loudly last night. That's why you let them know."
"If you're not like that, then … why would I be unable to hold back and scream?" Gui Ru Yue's face turned even redder. After a while, she asked, "Didn't you have something you wanted to say to me?"
"I flipped through my calendar and chose September 20th to enter the capital. We still have to clean up both east and west. "
September 20th was a good day for Shang Jing. The Zheng Family, Dong Clan, and Fang Da came to send him off. They said their goodbyes for a long time. When Wang Ma and all the girls packed their things and got into the carriage, Gui Sis and He Nian each carried a small olive and a small round ball in their arms as they got in the carriage.
The carriage rumbled towards the capital.
