In Tubei Village that day, apart from Xiao Su's house, everyone else was also filled with laughter.
It seems that the strongest backbone who traveled abroad has returned, and the village has become more vibrant.
This night the lights in the village were turned off the latest and the people slept the best.
It was rare for Tianbao to get up late, so he was woken up by a lively shout.
"Sister Tianbao, sister Tianbao, wake up! Wheat Sui is here to play with you!"
"Sister Tianbao, the sun is shining on your butt. If you don't get up, you won't be able to absorb the morning essence!"
"Hey, why did you close the door... The buns made by my mother will be cold soon..."
Tianbao was lying on the bed, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, without opening his eyes.
When I was about to lie down for a while, there was a squeaking sound from the window facing the vegetable garden.
Sighing, Tianbao sat up and opened his eyes to see the little girl on the open window, using her hands and feet to crawl in, her chubby little face turning red.
"Wheat ears, they're going to fall like this." She reached out to bring in the little girl hanging on the window sill, and scraped her little nose. "Sister, get up, stop yelling."
Wheat Sui raised her head, showing her eight millet teeth, and held the bun high in her hand, "Sister Tianbao, these are big meat buns made by my mother. They are so fragrant. I brought them to you specially to avoid them getting cold. It’s not delicious so I climbed through the window!”
After she finished speaking, the little girl's stomach growled.
Tianbao looked down at her, raising his eyebrows, his eyes full of ridicule.
Xiaomai Sui suddenly blushed and hugged her belly, "I wanted to give it to my sister to taste when the buns came out of the pan, but I forgot to eat them..."
Sister Tianbao is so pretty!
He is her future husband, hehehe!
"..." This girl has been clinging to her since she was a child, and it has become even worse as she gets older. Tianbao is helpless and funny.
After getting up and getting dressed, she broke open the meat buns that the little girl brought and fed the meat stuffing into her mouth. Tianbao ate the skin of the buns cleanly. When she was about to issue an order to expel the guests, the little girl hugged her legs again and said, "Sister Tianbao." , Wheat Sui, can I take you to play? You’ve been away for five hundred and seventy-three days, so when you finally come back, please spend more time with me!"
In the small courtyard, Old Man Su and Mrs. Su were turning out the rice from the warehouse to dry it. In the corner of the courtyard, Su Da and Su Er were gargling. In the kitchen, three women were busy making breakfast. The voice of Old Man Du ordering food could be heard from time to time.
The yawns and chatter of several teenagers in the yard next door could also be heard through the wall.
At the entrance of the vegetable garden, a few energetic chickens pecked at the leaves of green vegetables, making cooing sounds in their throats from time to time.
Various sounds and movements gather together to weave ordinary warmth in the cold autumn morning.
Tianbao looked at the little girl hanging on his lap and laughed softly. He reached out and picked her up, "Okay, I'll stay with you."
The elders of the Su family have long heard Wheat Sui yelling, and those childlike words fall into their ears and make them laugh.
Mrs. Su smiled and said, "There's still some time before breakfast, so I'll let Wheat Sui take you to the entrance of the village to visit the morning market."
"Early market?" Three heads popped up from the wall next door. Su An and Su Wen's eyes widened in surprise, "Grandma, when will there be a market at the entrance of our village?"
Wei Li was also quite interested.
When they came back yesterday, they saw nothing at the entrance of the village.
Old man Su deliberately pretended, "You little bastards are running out in front of the sky. Don't you know how much our village has changed? Hahaha, go and see for yourself!"
…
Along the way from their yard to the entrance of the village, several young people had a lot of food in their arms.
Xiao Liuzi stuffed boiled peanuts, uncle Dafu gave him pancakes, Grandpa Mo gave him dates, uncle Mo gave him roasted yams, Aunt Wang gave him white-flour steamed buns...
When you reach the reed marsh, you can hear the noise coming from outside the village along the clear river.
Passing through the camphor forest and following the hustle and bustle, less than a mile away, there is a small group in the mountain col on the left.
Each small stall has a sack on the bottom, with vegetables still wet with dew, fresh fruits, rice noodles in small bags, a steamer with a small stove, freshly fried pancakes, and even a meat stall.
Most of the people setting up stalls are familiar faces from Tubei Village.
On the contrary, most of the people going to the market are strangers.
There were neither too many nor too few people in the mountain col. Everyone was chatting and laughing while setting up stalls, making this mountain col particularly lively.
"It's really good. We even have hot food and a meat stall. It seems that life in our village is getting more and more prosperous." Su An bit a date, her mood as bright as the rising sun in the east.
Wheat Sui raised his chin and was very proud, "My father suggested it, saying that everyone has a surplus on hand, and they should take out the surplus things and circulate them for mutual convenience. At first, the villagers were worried that they would not be able to sell the things, and they were also worried that they would not be able to buy them. I wanted to get what I wanted, but it didn’t take long for the bearded uncle to move the tiller over. Most of the people who came to buy things every morning were people from Pier 12. Even the meat stall was built by them! The small market has been open for almost a year. There are more and more people around here coming to the market in the morning, and it will definitely be more lively in the future!"
Wei Li looked at the harmonious people's livelihood in front of him and curled his lips, "I didn't expect that the villagers and the people of Pier 12 would have such a harmonious day."
"We don't dare to bully our village at Pier 12 now. We are all polite." Wheat Sui raised his chin higher and tried his best to look at someone from the corner of his eye. He was full of vigilance and hostility. "Don't talk to me!"
Hearing this, Wei Li was amused and deliberately teased this young junior sister whom he met for the first time, "Why?"
"Both you and Bai Yu are my love rivals! Let me tell you, Sister Tianbao is mine, and none of you are allowed to steal it from me!"
Dad said that Sister Tianbao was not hers, but Xiaomai Sui refused to accept it. From then on, no matter who appeared next to Sister Tianbao, she would think that the other was a love rival.
Of the five who grew up with her sister, except for her three brothers, she doesn’t have to guard against them. Bai Yu and Wei Li must be guarded against!
Her love rival is extremely jealous when they meet her, and she doesn't talk to her love rival!
Tianbao stretched out his hand and pinched the little girl's raised chin, "Listen, my sister is from the Xiao Su family."
Wheat Sui immediately said, "I will also be from Xiao Su's family from now on!"
Wei Li, "..."
Su An and Su Wen wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh. This little ancestor of their master's family must not belong to their family. Who can bear this temper in the future? Let's bring harm to other families.
Since we were already full on the way here, we walked around the small market and didn't buy anything.
There was no rush to go home.
Take a walk in the miasma forest, look at the reed swamps, listen to the water flowing in the river, and smell the aroma of the earth in the rice fields.
Here, there is a tranquility that is not found in the outside world, making people feel particularly peaceful.
"Wei Li, it's been seven years since you left, right? You've become a major general in the military camp. How does it feel to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?" Su An asked with a smile as a few people sat by the river, bathing in the morning light.
Su Wen also said, "There has been no news about you in these years. Knowing that it would be inconvenient for you to deliver news to your family, the family misses you even more. Grandpa and grandma would mention you every now and then, but then they stopped mentioning you. I will look in the direction of Yanxia Pass and sigh."
Tianbao added, "Now I am the captain of the cavalry."
Wei Li turned his head, glanced at the girl's beautiful and calm face under the sun, and curved his lips and smiled softly.
When he was on the ancient road to Yudu, he reported his professional title. When he looked at her, she didn't seem to hear him.
It turns out I listened.
