Two baskets of pears are nothing less than a ray of hope for the now destitute Su family.
Before dawn the next day, Su Da and Su Er got up, taking advantage of this time to be less likely to be discovered, covered the basket with a thatched curtain, picked up the basket and rushed to town.
After all, there are so many pears, it’s really eye-catching to pick them out.
I can’t bear to dig deeper.
Dahuai Village is located in the northern part of North Vietnam. After the winter, it has experienced endless wind and snow.
After entering mid-winter, the snow on the ground was so thick that it could reach the tops of our feet.
I went back and forth to the town, but I couldn't bear it if I didn't have any willpower.
Mrs. Su held Tianbao in her arms and sat across from the wooden bed in the inner room, glaring at the old man on the bed with a cold face.
There was a small brazier beside the bed to drive away the coldness in the room.
Old man Su didn't dare to look at the old woman, he lay there with his eyes closed in a guilty conscience, and screamed ouch.
Old woman Su sneered, "You know it hurts now? Why did you go yesterday? That half bag of flour, let's take it as easy as twenty coppers, right? When the boss and the second come back later, let's calculate how much you have to pay for your old leg. Medicine money.”
"...Ahem, you see what you said. The situation was so urgent that I couldn't think too much. Before I could recover from my thoughts, my hands were holding the dough bag. Didn't I expect that my legs would be broken?" Old Man Su opened his mouth. He quickly glanced at his wife with a slit in his eye, "What medicine should I take? The folded area has been bandaged. I can lie down for ten and a half days and it will be almost healed. Applying medicine is a waste of money... You don't care what I say." Listen, if you have to sell pears and buy medicine, you might as well buy more rice and noodles for your family to survive the winter. Ouch... Ouch..."
"If your old bones were as tough as your mouth, they wouldn't have been broken yesterday!"
"...Ouch! Ouch!"
"Okay, don't scream. Take a good rest and save your energy. I won't deal with you today."
Old man Su stopped shouting, but felt that his face was dull.
Their sweet baby is just two days old, but he is smart and can understand words.
My wife really doesn't spare any face for him.
"Sweetie baby asleep?"
"A newborn baby has to sleep after eating a full meal and only wakes up for a short time during the day." Old woman Su couldn't suppress her worry and said in a low voice, "You didn't see the pears all over the floor in the room over there yesterday... I'm really worried about hurting Tianbao. Can you use your huge magical power at will? Sigh."
Old Han Su was silent for a while, then he comforted his wife, "Don't think blindly, look how soundly your granddaughter sleeps? It shouldn't be a big deal, otherwise such a small baby will definitely have to cry if she feels uncomfortable. Noisy."
Old woman Su immediately glared, "What a fool! My sweet baby is well-behaved. Except for the voice when he was just born, he has never made any trouble!"
"..." I rushed to give you some relief, but you hit me first without any discrimination.
Old man Su was lying on the bed unable to move. He had to take a look at his granddaughter yesterday since she was born. He saw the baby sleeping obediently across from him. He was jealous and said, "Old lady, take Tianbao over and let her sleep next to me, with the quilt on her back." It can also keep her warm."
How could Mrs. Su not know what her husband was thinking? Then he thought about the fact that the baby's bones were soft and he really couldn't be held in his arms all the time. Then he stood up and gently placed the baby on the inside of the wooden bed.
In this way, Yue Lan could rest in peace, and she could free up her hands to work. The kitchen had to be rebuilt, and she couldn't keep cooking in the main room.
"If Tian Bao wakes up, just call me and I will carry her over."
"okay!"
A little baby that can be held in two hands is sleeping next to it, a small and soft one.
She was sleeping soundly, her little nose moved lightly with her breathing, and her body exuded a faint milky fragrance.
Old man Su felt as soft as if he had been soaked in water.
Carefully reaching out and touching the baby's face like a shelled egg, Old Man Su murmured, "Blessings lie on misfortunes, and misfortunes lie on blessings. Our sweet baby, I don't know if that magical power is a blessing or not. disaster……"
He was talking to himself, but before he finished speaking, the baby, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes.
In the dark place, a pair of pupils were as dark and bright as glass soaked in water, staring straight at people.
No evasion or cover-up.
Old man Su was stunned for a moment, then became happy, "You little guy, where do you dare to pretend to be in love?"
The baby blinked.
"Oh, Tianbao, don't you understand blessings and misfortunes? Don't worry, I will tell you carefully..."
The old man understood his granddaughter's meaning with just a blink of an eye, "There is a saying that every man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade. Just like our sweet baby, we were originally ordinary innocent people, but because you are lucky enough to have great supernatural powers, you are greedy. Bad people want to snatch the past and make it their own. In order to steal your things, they will accuse you of many crimes and use many methods. They will not give up until they achieve their goals... This is what blessings and misfortunes mean... So sweet baby , when you have a treasure, you have to be more cautious in your words and actions, not to show off your appearance, and keep a low profile in everything, so that you can protect yourself."
The old man lowered his head and met the confused and confused eyes of his granddaughter. His love spread in his heart, "I don't know what our sweet baby has encountered before, which made her so discouraged. But baby, those things have passed, and you are now The youngest child of the Su family, Su Jiuni. No matter how poor the family is, you still have something to eat. No matter how difficult or dangerous the situation is, your grandparents will stand in front of you. Just grow up with peace of mind, but don’t do it in the future. It’s easy to get the things out... Your grandma is worried about your bad luck, so she quietly sighs and wipes her tears at night."
The nagging words rang in my ears.
Tianbao listened quietly, seeming to understand.
Grandpa talked a bit too much, but she didn't feel repulsed because when he spoke, he looked at her kindly.
In her previous life, she had envied the little fat guy next door who was about the same age as her. His parents and grandparents could talk to him and play with him, and they looked at him the same way his grandpa looked at her now.
Tianbao stared at the old man, curled up his small hands, and his chest suddenly swelled.
What she once envied, she seemed to have for a while now.
Even if he cannot empathize, Tianbao is aware of everything that happens to him after birth.
In this family, there are father, mother, grandpa, grandma, second uncle, second aunt, and three brothers... They all seem to like her.
Tianbao's eyelids gradually dropped, and before falling asleep again, his mind was still replaying every moment he had been loved by his family since he came to this home.
Those likes were not after she showed her magical powers.
It was revealed naturally before she showed her magical powers.
It felt so strange to be liked, and she hadn't figured it out yet.
Otherwise, she will die slowly?
It is better to be a sensible person than a confused person.
The sky outside was getting brighter, and the howling wind and snow suddenly stopped.
People from every household in the village immediately went out to clear the snow with brooms, shovels, and rakes.
The noise continued all morning.
The excitement in the Su family courtyard was no less lively.
There was no man on the scene, so Mrs. Su led her second daughter-in-law and three little boys, causing a scene in the courtyard where people were shouting and yelling.
In such noise, Tianbao still slept soundly, and even raised the corner of his mouth unconsciously.
