In early summer, the warm sunshine shines on the trees, and the branches are covered with green and yellow plums. The apricots gradually become bright and plump. In the fields outside Kyoto, the wheat ears are blooming with white flowers, and the rapeseed flowers are almost gone and are forming seeds.
A small road outside Kyoto is filled with fruits and flowers of all seasons. At this time, the petals of the spring flowers on the trees are falling one after another, turning into the best nutrients in summer, while the new leaves of the summer trees have just grown. The shade of the trees has not yet formed, so it is not possible for people coming and going to enjoy the shade for the time being. This path leads to a quiet place, leading to several sparse small villages.
Among them, there is a place covered with small yellow flowers. In a village often visited by butterflies and bees, there are two little children carved in pink and jade beside the sparse fence, a boy and a girl. The boy is wearing a light blue dress. , wearing a green and white jade lock around her neck, and a pair of golden bracelets on her little lotus-like hands. She is very noble at a young age, but her expression is not at all unruly, and she is cute and tight. ~
Behind the male doll was a very petite female doll. The female doll had a pair of crotch piercings and two delicate little flowers on her crotch.
The female doll wears a sparkling colorful skirt, and wears a green and white jade lock around her neck like the male doll. However, the difference is that the pattern engraved on the jade lock of the male doll is a unicorn, while that of the female doll is qilin. The jade lock on the doll is engraved with phoenix marrow.
But obviously, neither the male doll nor the female doll understood the meaning of the patterns on the jade locks. The two little dolls stood in the flowers and didn't know what they said, so they took off the jade locks from their necks. , put it on the other person’s neck~
After the two children finished changing the jade locks, they were extremely happy. They held their hands and continued to play in the flowers, with only their dark little heads exposed~
The two children had a great time picking flowers and catching butterflies in the flowers. They laughed very happily. I don’t know how long it took, but maybe they were tired from playing again. The two children ran out of the flowers together again. I sat under the plum tree, with two pairs of big eyes like black grapes. It was very pleasant to look at the long summer shade.
Suddenly, a yellow-green plum fell from the tree with a clatter and hit the boy's side.
The male doll curiously picked up the plum that was as big as his little hand and stared at it blankly for a long time. He swallowed and then looked at the female doll next to him.
Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he reluctantly handed it to the girl~
The girl looked at the plums that came out of the blue and thought they must be very delicious. She happily took them from the boy's hand. Under the greedy eyes of the boy, she took a sip and bit down...
How can two little babies know whether plums are raw or ripe?
Both the girl and the boy thought that the plum must be very delicious, but unexpectedly, when the girl took the first bite, she felt a sour taste go straight to her forehead...
With a "yue" sound, he spat out the plums that had not been completely chewed...
The male doll looked at the plum that was spat out by the female doll with a pity look on his face. Apparently he didn't realize the seriousness of the matter. He took the piece of plum from the female doll's hand, picked another one and returned it. He bit down on the uneaten parts without hesitation!
The next second, the male doll showed the same expression as an old man looking at his mobile phone in a certain subway, sticking out his tongue "bah bah bah" and looking very painful.
The two children, after eating plums, the residual acid still remained between the teeth, making them extremely uncomfortable...
The two children glanced at the screen window not far away, which was reflected in the green of the plantains. Then, they looked at each other and ran away together, shouting as they ran:
"Grandma! My little uncle gave me some terrible meimeier..."
"It tastes so bad! I want to be sour! I want to eat something delicious!"
"Mother, dear! I didn't intentionally give you the unpalatable plums!"
"It was Eunuch Shu who bullied me! Eunuch Shu gave me a plum that tasted terrible, but it was very beautiful. 嘤嘤嘤π_π..."
"..."
"..."
The mini versions of Xie Haoan and Xie Yiyi, who were no more than six years old and no more than three or four years old, were chattering like two little sparrows, talking and waving their little wings as they flew into Gu Ruosu's house. .
Gu Ruosu was lying very comfortably on the bamboo couch in the cool hut, enjoying iced fruits and iced drinks, waving the fan in her hand, feeling drowsy...
However, my summer peace was suddenly broken by these two little living ancestors. I felt a little helpless, but I still smiled and asked the two little dolls what happened~
Xie Hao'an and Xie Yiyi explained the cause and effect again in a sweet voice, and Gu Ruosu immediately turned into laughing with her arms spread out, without any trace of image~
"Mother/grandmother! Don't smile... We are very pitiful..." Xie Hao'an and Xie Yi said in unison, feeling aggrieved.
Gu Ruosu stopped her smile and said:
"Okay, okay, you are very pitiful~ You two little guys, please remember that next time, don't eat anything you encounter. Summer has just arrived, and the fruits are green, but they are not yet ripe~ Many green fruits are sour and not delicious~"
Xie Hao'an and Xie Yiyi didn't know whether they understood what Gu Ruosu meant. They just nodded thoughtfully, and then said in unison again:
"Okay, then we won't eat any green berries from now on, but...if the green berries fall, shall we give them to daddy?"
"You two little guys... are really weird. What's wrong? You know it's sour and you won't eat it, but you still want to feed it to your father. At such a young age, you know how to trick your father?!" Gu Ruosu heard this Xie Hao'an and Xie Yiyi couldn't help but chuckle again.
"Dad said that you can become a great person only if you endure hardships, and you will feel bitter even if you are sour. I want dad to become a better person~" Xie Hao'an was the first to say.
"Yes, yes! Daddy is busy. I think if daddy eats a little more bitterness and sourness, he can become a master soon, and then he can play with Yisi!" Thank you and Yisi nodded. Xie Hao'an agreed with Xie Hao'an's point of view. When Gu Ruosu was really afraid that she would get dizzy and stopped her and asked him what he thought, Xie Hao'an finally spoke.
"Okay, you two little guys, there is a way for everything~
But maybe your dad doesn’t like to eat either. It’s very hard and difficult to eat something you don’t like, right? Remember, I’ll ask your dad later if he wants it, and then give it to him~”
"Okay! Then Father-in-law Shu will ask my uncle if he likes it and give us food in the future!" Xie asked doubtfully.
"Of course I will~ You don't have to eat it if you don't want to~"
"If you want, can you eat it?"
"Of course~" Gu Ruosu said dotingly.
"Then I want to eat delicious food now, my mouth is so sour now!" After hearing this, Xie Yi immediately opened his mouth, stuck out his tongue, wrinkled his little face, and said aggrievedly .
When Xie Hao'an saw this, he immediately showed off his "suffering son~"
Gu Ruosu smiled and patted Xie Yi and Xie Haoan's little heads with a fan and said:
"Okay, okay, I know you have suffered. Today, your father/grandfather personally cooked a lot of exquisite and delicious pastries. Wait a minute, you can eat whatever you want, and as much as you want. How much is it good?!"
Gu Ruosu's words were no less than a piece of happiness falling from the sky - it hit Xie Haoan and Xie Yiyi's arms and legs hard.
You know, although Xie Hao'an and Xie Yiyi are both much-loved children at home, they only care about eating sweets because their parents are afraid that they will eat too much sweets and develop tooth decay at a young age. It can be said that they are very strict. The pastries and candies are supplied at a limited time and in a limited time every day~
They haven’t had the freedom to have sweets for a long time! The last time the sweet tooth was free was in their dream a few days ago!
The two children were cheering when Xie Ruqing walked in carrying a food box.
Xie Haoan and Xie Yiyi shouted to Xie Ruqing in a sweet voice:
"Daddy/Grandpa!"
Xie Ruqing responded with a slight smile, and then found that the eyes of her youngest son and granddaughter almost followed his food box~
"Daddy, it smells so good! It's delicious! I can eat it!" Xie Hao'an grabbed Xie Ruqing's robe and said coquettishly.
"Well, you can eat it. Didn't your mother say it? Today, you can all eat it. You can eat it as you like. I won't restrain you." My father is busy here and my mother is also busy, so there is no time to care about her thanks.
Xie Haoan and Xie Yiyi hurriedly climbed up on the small stool happily, their little feet swaying, their little hands patting the table gently, waiting for Xie Ruqing to feed them~
Xie Ruqing did not disappoint the expectations of the two children and quickly placed the delicacies in the food box on the table.
Horse cakes made into bunny patterns, colorful flower cakes, sweet rice dumplings, red bean cakes and mung bean cakes with little tiger and little fox designs, and bright red hawthorns wrapped in crystal clear brown sugar. Children, pine tree pollen is collected in spring, added with honey to make it into the shape of a cake, and then steamed to make the pine yellow cake, which is fragrant and sweet with a hint of nature, as well as their favorite sweet and glutinous cake. Taro paste and ice cream (this ice cream is not the popsicle we know~ This is the name of a pastry from the Song Dynasty dessert that I found on the Internet~ Don’t get me wrong~)
Xie Ruqing even prepared a bowl of cool and sweet mung bean soup for each of them~
The two children, Xie Haoan and Xie Yiyi, looked at the delicious food on the table and their eyes sparkled in unison, and their saliva flowed down. Gu Ruosu smiled and took out a handkerchief and wiped off the two children. With the saliva of a child, I no longer restrain them and let them eat as much as they want~
After the two children Xie Haoan and Xie Yiyi agreed, they could no longer contain their excitement and turned into gluttons, feasting on the table like a storm~
Xie Hao'an held the pine yellow cake in one hand and a candied haws in the other, taking one bite after another. He was eating happily. He even glanced at his father secretly as he ate. He really didn't want to worry about it. After thinking what he meant, he even more excitedly grabbed another piece of mung bean cake and stuffed it into his mouth~
On the other hand, Xie Hao'an's expression of thanks was not "concerned". He took a spoonful of mung bean soup, a spoonful of taro paste, and a mouthful of ice cream. He ate it with his head down. It was a great pleasure~
But the two children had small stomachs, so they ate excitedly for a while, then slowly slowed down and changed to eating in small bites~
Although Gu Ruosu and Xie Ruqing, who had been watching on the sidelines, indulged the children in eating today, they were still very worried about their health. Although the portions of these plates were not large, they were just enough for two children~
But they still sent someone a warm and sour plum soup to appetize and digest without leaving any trace, and placed it next to the two children~
Xie Hao'an looked at the warm and sour plum soup that was delivered to his door. He didn't care whether it was iced or not. He just put it into his mouth and took a big sip. He was very satisfied with it, and then he took it out of his mouth. Kong asked Gu Ruosu:
"Mom, dear! What day is it today! Why did you and dad prepare so many delicious foods for us!"
Gu Ruosu smiled and touched Xie Haoan's head and said:
"We, An'an, are so smart, why don't we do the math ourselves?"
When Xie Hao'an heard Gu Ruosu praise him for being smart, he was very happy. He put down the food in his hand, clasped his little fingers and started chanting:
"Dad's birthday is August 30th, my mother's birthday is June 11th, and my birthday is October 10th, which means my birthday is December 27th... Well... today is June 1st..."
"Oh! I know! Today is Children's Day!"
Xie Hao'an shouted happily. Although he didn't know what Children's Day was, and none of the other friends had it at home, his family had it, and every year when Children's Day came, his father and mother kissed each other. Will satisfy his wishes infinitely! I’ll even give him a gift!
Seeing Xie Hao'an finally react, Gu Ruosu smiled and took out the gifts she had prepared for a long time and handed them to Xie Hao'an and Xie Yiyi's hands respectively.
Xie Hao'an and Xie Yiyi were curious and opened the wooden box on the spot. Inside, they saw their corresponding zodiac animals carved out of gold.
The zodiac animals are vivid and naive~ the two of them immediately couldn't put them down and held them in their arms~
Gu Ruosu was naturally very happy when she saw the two children looking happy and contented. She also promised the two children that they would go set off fireworks together tonight, which made the children exclaim in surprise~
The children's cheers were "deafening", almost waking up the summer cicadas who had just woken up and frightening the summer trees that had just sprouted new leaves.
