Chapter 2
That day, after Hao Ziqiang left, Hao Huishu finished packing the pots and bowls and was carrying the bucket and preparing to fetch water again, she was called by Hao's mother who was sitting on a lounge chair in the main hall at the door. She said, "Shu'er, it seems that the rain is getting heavier outside. You might as well take a break and wait until the rain is lighter before picking it!" Hao Huishu looked outside and found that the rain was really getting heavier again. So while she agreed to "get it", she put down the bucket and went back to the house to tie her mother's legs. She and the The baby quilt that Ziqiang used when he was a child and had two big scars covered his mother's legs. When Hao Huishu leaned over and lowered her head to tidy up her collar and hair for her mother, Hao's mother stroked the back of her daughter's neck and said emotionally:
"My poor Shu'er, thank you for your hard work!"
"Mom, why are you here again? Didn't we agree to look forward?"
Hao Huishu stood behind the recliner and hugged her mother's head, and said emotionally. Mother Hao touched her daughter's face with one hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it anymore, Shu'er, don't take it seriously when the strong kid wants rain boots just now. I see that he is not the only one who has barefoot boards. There are many people here. You can't compare everything with him. Don't just put it in his favor!"
Hao Huishu buried her head and face on her mother's hair and cried and said, "Mom, stop talking, I know." The mother and daughter were so close together that they were together for a long time, but no one spoke. After a long time, Mother Hao said, "It's rainy, it's impossible to do anything. You might as well bring a stool to sit with her mother for a while." Hao Huishu's mood also recovered. She found a short stool to sit next to her mother, lying on her legs covered with the quilt. Mother Hao gently stroked her daughter's head and back with one hand. Her guilt for her over the years and her feelings for licking her baby that she thought she had not fulfilled because of her long-term illness came to her, and she couldn't help but feel mixed feelings. Hao Huishu also lay quietly on her mother's lap, enjoying this long-lost maternal love. Both mother and daughter were intoxicated in this rare family joy. It seemed like a century later that Mother Hao remembered something and said softly:
"Shu'er, tell my mother, where did you go to carry water just now? Did you go to Grandpa Wang's house?" Mother Hao was obviously still immersed in the warm atmosphere just now. "Yes, I should carry water for Grandpa Wang's house today." Hearing his mother's question, Hao Huishu suddenly raised her head as if she woke up from a dream, "Yeah, yes, I forgot. It's your turn to carry water today, but it won't take that long!"
Hao Huishu turned to look at Grandpa Hao, "Mom, have you ever looked for Grandpa Wang?"
"I'm looking for Grandpa Wang! Why am I looking for Grandpa Wang?" Mama Hao asked with an innocent and puzzled expression.
"Forget it!" After saying that, she lay back on her mother's lap, but soon she raised her head and said solemnly, "Mom, let me tell you, I'm going to go after the seedlings are planted, no matter what!"
