Siheyuan: After being reincarnated as a master's daughter

Walking through the black pebbled school playground, the playground of that era did not have a modern plastic track, but was paved with small black gravel. The stones sparkled in the sun, as if they were treasures of the earth.

On the edge of the playground, there are some short weeds, which sway gently in the wind, as if showing people the traces of time. On the track, the lines paved with black stones are clearly visible, like marks of time, witnessing the running and growth of countless students.

Soon Yi Jiale and the others arrived at the school gate. Since today was the first day of school for the first grade, many parents came to pick up their children. Yi Zhonghai and an aunt also prepared the meal early, kept it warm in the pot, and came to pick up Yi Jiale.

Yi Zhonghai and an auntie were waiting anxiously at the school gate, their eyes kept scanning the school gate, looking for Yi Jiale. They were filled with worry and expectation, because they hadn't seen their daughter for several hours.

Yi Zhonghai's face was full of worry. He clenched his hands tightly and kept rubbing them on his trouser legs, as if this could calm him down. He kept looking towards the school gate, expecting his daughter to appear.

Yi Jiale saw his parents eagerly waiting from afar, and he ran, smiled, waved and shouted, "Dad, Mom!!"

Yi Zhonghai and his wife also saw their daughter and were both happy and relieved. Yi Zhonghai squatted down and touched his daughter's face: "Tuanzi, how do you feel about being in the third grade? Is there anyone in the class who bullies you because you are young?"

Yi Jiale: "No, I feel okay. My classmates also take good care of me! The third uncle also takes good care of me and doesn't let me clean up after him."

"Hehe, Dad, and I'm a desk mate with Mr. Huo."

Yi Zhonghai: "That's fine. You two good friends can sit together in the same class. I can feel more at ease and you can have company."

Auntie: "Okay, the food is still hot in the pot, go home and eat."

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai carried Yi Jiale away on his back.

The auntie walked behind Yi Zhonghai, holding Lin Xiong with her left hand and Huo Sheng with her right hand, chatting with them from time to time.

"Mr. Huo, why don't you go to Auntie's house for dinner today? It's a celebration of your skipping a grade. What do you think? And Lin Xiong's family will be there too, so we can have some fun together. How about inviting your grandfather?"

Huo Sheng said embarrassedly: "Thank you for your kindness, Auntie, but I have to go home to cook and wait for Grandpa to come home to eat."

The aunt looked at Huo Sheng lovingly and said, "Just have a meal, it's okay. When your grandfather comes back, we can ask him to come to my house!"

Yi Jiale, who was carried by his father, turned around and said with a smile: "That's right, Mr. Huo, isn't it just a meal? It's settled. Lin Xiong, and you, the three of us will eat together!"

Yi Zhonghai also spoke up: "The cornmeal I gave you last time should be almost finished by now, right? Come over and have a meal, it won't be a problem. Call your grandfather along."

Seeing that everyone was persuading him, Huo Sheng did not refuse and nodded with a smile.

They soon arrived home. Sister-in-law Lin Ying put He Zhiyuan directly on Yi Jiale's crib and asked the three of them to look after the child while Lin Ying went to the kitchen to help.

Today's lunch was pretty good. There was one stir-fried pork belly, one stewed pheasant soup, and the rest were two vegetarian dishes. Although the variety of dishes was a bit limited, the portions were quite large, and there were also a lot of staple foods prepared.

Seeing that it was almost time for his grandfather to get off work, Huo Sheng ran home to call his grandfather.

Yi Jiale didn't want to see the child, so he just followed Huo Sheng out, leaving Lin Xiong alone and unable to escape.

"Grandpa, our uncle asked us to eat at his house today." Huo Sheng said as he poured water for his grandfather to wash his hands when he saw him.

Grandpa Huo glanced at his grandson, then looked at Yi Jiale who came later, smiled at Yi Jiale, then looked at his grandson and said, "Grandpa is so dirty that I won't go. You guys go eat. I can just make a quick meal at home."

Huo Sheng lowered his head in disappointment, wanting to persuade him but not knowing what to say.

Yi Jiale walked over and held Grandpa Huo's hand: "Uncle Huo, let's go to my house to eat. My mom and the others have prepared the meal. They are waiting for you!"

Yi Jiale looked at Huo Sheng who was standing aside without saying anything, and said angrily: "Come over and pull with me, Huo Sheng! Hurry up!"

After being yelled at by Yi Jiale, Huo Sheng also obediently stepped forward and held the other grandfather's hand.

Grandpa Huo staggered a few steps as the two children pulled him, but he didn't dare to use force for fear of dropping the two children. At this stalemate, Yi Zhonghai came over with a smile and pulled him directly: "Brother Huo, isn't it just a meal? It's not like we haven't eaten together before! Let's go..."

Grandpa Huo was dragged to Yi Zhonghai's house by an adult and two children: "Okay, can't I just go by myself? Go, I'll go."

Only then did they let go of Grandpa Huo and walked towards the Yi family, laughing.

At the dinner table, Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu chatted and drank together, and they always brought Grandpa Huo along.

Yi Zhonghai saw that Grandpa Huo was feeling uncomfortable, and that he was eating his steamed buns in small bites and refusing to pick up any meat or vegetables with him, so he took the initiative to stuff his steamed buns and pick up some vegetables for him.

The same thing happened on Yi Jiale's side. Lin Xiong was not shy. The two families often ate together. He ate his meals with big mouthfuls, while Huo Sheng picked up the vegetarian dishes from the far side. Even though the meat and vegetables were placed in front of the children, Huo Sheng still only picked up the vegetarian dishes.

Yi Jiale couldn't bear to see this, so he put a lot of meat into Huo Sheng's bowl and didn't allow Huo Sheng to refuse.

But maybe Yi Jiale was too young to use chopsticks well, so he dropped several pieces of meat when picking up the meat. On the table, Lin Xiong was not shy and directly picked up the meat that fell on the table and stuffed it into his mouth. Everyone at the table was not surprised by this situation. Whenever there was a grain of food on the table, they would stuff it into their mouths. If some food fell on the ground, they would pick it up, blow it, and then eat it. What's more, it was just meat that fell on the table.

After dinner, the adults chatted and time passed quickly. Then Shazhu went to work after dinner!

Huo Sheng and his grandfather also went back to take a nap, and Yi Jiale went to take a nap with Lin Xiong. The two little sisters chatted on the bed, talking about what happened at school this morning.

Yi Jiale was lying on the bed with his legs crossed. He put his hands behind his head and boasted, "I'm telling you, Lin Xiong, I'm the youngest in our class and I don't have to clean the room!! Hehe"

Lin Xiong looked at Yi Jiale with envy: "You are so cool, and Mr. Huo told me that you two were deskmates. I was so envious! Hey, Tuanzi, it's a pity that I'm not as smart as you, otherwise I would have wanted to skip a grade with you."

…………Time passed slowly with the sound of the two little girls chatting, and the sound of birds singing by the window was like a lullaby, making people fall asleep unknowingly…
