April is a beautiful spring day.
The air still carries the lingering chill from winter.
Tubei Mountain was in full swing.
With the Su family vegetable garden as the center, newly opened vegetable plots spread out in a fan shape.
The sweat beads on the foreheads of the people working in the fields shimmered in the sunlight, and the smiles on their faces were brighter and brighter than the rising sun.
The fragrance of earth rubs into the air, mixed with the coldness, and smells in your nose. The long-lost familiarity makes your nose sore and your eyes red.
In the Su family's vegetable garden, a head popped out from behind the wall of thorn bushes. He smiled and asked the people who were working from a distance, "Guys, what vegetables do you grow?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then someone immediately shouted, "I'm from the Su family, my name is Wang Chuan! I live at the intersection at the foot of the mountain and come to the second house. My house grows peppers and rapeseed flowers!"
The person who answered first was thin, with ordinary and simple features, and a pair of eyes shining brightly in the sun. It was the joy that came from the heart, breaking through the haze accumulated in his eyes.
When Su Da heard his voice, he immediately contacted the person who knocked on the door to inform their family. He smiled and said, "I'll wait until the vegetables can be harvested in the field and I'll exchange some peppers for you! I've been out for so long, don't tell me, it's really It tastes like chili pepper!”
"No need to change. If you want to eat, just come and pick it from my field! Big guys, too, if you want to eat, come and pick it!"
The chatterbox opened up and others joined in.
"My name is Chen Dafu. I live diagonally across from Huo's house. I grow tomatoes and beans!"
“My family grows loofah and kidney beans!”
"I don't have vegetable seeds at home, but there are wild vegetables on the mountains after spring! I found a field growing gallbladder in the past two years. When the land is open, I will get some gallweed and plant it!"
"Li Xiaoxiao, you are such a thief. No wonder the smell of vegetables always comes out of your house when spring comes. It turns out you have a good place to hide it!"
"As for me, didn't you also dig yam eggs in the mountains? You still hid them as if no one knew about them!"
"Hahaha!"
The long-lost laughter echoed over Tubei Mountain, carried by the wind, and spread far away.
The rest of the Su family were also busy in the fields. Su An's three little cubs were playing and running around in the ridges. The youngest Tian Bao was placed in a bamboo basket with a clean and thick thin coat underneath, and the sun warmed her body. Yangyang, Milkman took advantage of the warmth and fell asleep.
Su Xiuer piled a handful of weeds at her feet and smiled, "The man named Li Xiaoxiao is the person who reported the news to us at the intersection."
Su Er said casually, "Wang Chuan also warned our family."
The vegetable patch was so big that there wasn't much work to do, so old man Su simply stopped and sat next to the bamboo basket to block the sun for his granddaughter so that it wouldn't shine in her eyes.
Listening to the chatter and laughter outside the garden, the old man narrowed his eyes slightly and stretched the creases at the corners of his eyes. "The life nowadays is actually not that bad, right?"
Old woman Su rolled her eyes at him and said, "You know how to deal with hindsight. It won't be so bad if you survive it. If you can't survive it, how can you still say this?"
"Oh, you've managed to survive this." Old Man Su coughed lightly and said in a flattering tone, "Look, our family only grows cabbage, rapeseed, radish, and only three flavors, right? Now everyone is planting vegetables. Now, peppers, beans, luffa, beans... if you exchange them with each other, don't you get more flavors? That's a good thing!"
Su Er smiled sullenly and joked, "Mom, my dad is right. Not only can we exchange vegetables with the big guys later, but we can also go to the mountains to pick chicken feathers and dig yam eggs when we are free!"
There was silence in the vegetable garden for a moment, and laughter spread everywhere.
While everyone was laughing, no one noticed that there was an extra person in the house.
Only the little sweet baby seemed to be sleeping in the bamboo basket. His eyelids moved, opened slightly, glanced at the roof next to him, and then closed his eyes again.
On the thatched roof of the Su family hall, a figure appeared silently, lying on it with his knees bent, holding a broken knife in his arms, his eyes slightly closed amidst the laughter and voices, and basking in the sun.
The posture and posture are quite similar to the little milk baby in the bamboo basket.
Due to objective factors, Tianbao couldn't see the person on the other side of the roof, and his little eyebrows frowned slightly.
After her rebirth, her response to the outside world became extremely keen, and her ears could even hear the sound of falling leaves. However, this time she didn't notice until the other person landed on the roof, which made her a little depressed.
The opponent's kung fu was obviously higher than anyone she had dealt with in the past two days.
Fortunately, there was no murderous intention in the other party that would arouse her anger.
Tianbao thought for a while and didn't do anything. He just quietly opened the entrance to the space, and the pear needle flew into the air to prepare for the battle.
She still insisted that there should be no dead people in the family, and subconsciously refused to let the family be contaminated with bad luck.
The Su family knew nothing about this. The weeds were pulled out in the vegetable garden, the soil was loosened and watered, and the hour had just passed.
Su Xiuer stood up and wiped the mud off her hands, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to cook first. You can eat after you come out after a break."
Old woman Su nodded, "Let's go, there's nothing to do in the fields anymore, let's go back to the front yard!"
Su Xiuer and her two sisters-in-law went ahead, leaving Su Da and Su Er to tidy up in the garden.
Old man Su was the first to pick up the bamboo basket, and the little granddaughter was in his hands. The old man smiled contentedly, and his back was a bit sullen as he walked.
Mrs. Su was too slow to take a step forward and spat behind her, "Look at your virtue!"
The old man pretended not to hear, swinging the bamboo basket, and the baby was like swinging in it, "Hey, is it fun, little sweet baby? Look at this little mouth, he is laughing! Hahaha!"
Tianbao's small body was swinging in the air, not afraid at all. He opened his dark almond-shaped eyes and looked at the grandpa with a smile on his face, and then opened his little mouth.
The little baby, who is almost six months old, has a long face and fair and pink skin. When she smiles, her eyes turn into crescent moons, revealing four white and thin millet teeth. Her soft and cute appearance makes her very happy. People's hearts can be melted.
"Hey, our little sweet baby, she smiles so beautifully, she looks so sweet, she should smile more!" Old Man Su laughed even louder, full of relaxation and joy.
Mrs. Su squeezed forward tightly and leaned close to the bamboo basket to look at her little granddaughter's smiling face. Her weathered face also smiled, her eyes were soft and she said, "Yes, your little one smiles so sweetly. Grandma likes to see it the most." Sweetie smiles.”
Tianbao's smiling face that was about to be closed unfolded again, raising the corners of his mouth to the previous arc, and his expression did not change even though his face was sour.
Three more dwarfs squeezed under the bamboo basket, shouting and jumping to see how their sister was smiling.
When grandpa and grandma weren't paying attention, Tianbao quietly stretched his feet out of the bamboo basket and kicked around without any trace. Immediately, there were three children wailing from below.
Sweet baby, "Giggle!"
Old Woman Su and Old Man Su's eyes almost narrowed into slits, "Look, you are laughing like this after kicking your brothers. You are still a naughty and domineering master, hahaha!"
Su An, Su Wen, and Su Wu covered their foreheads that were kicked by the little feet, feeling sad and confused.
Grandpa and grandma's words never sounded like they were lecturing my sister.
If they had been naughty, they would have been chased and whipped with brooms.
I feel like they are a bit worthless.
