Chapter 1809
Song Sancheng held an umbrella on the back mountain, and when he bent over to move the stone, he couldn't free his hands to hold the umbrella. After moving the stone, he didn't dig the earthworms, and he was already soaked.
Finally, after grunting and digging a few small red earthworms, he sneaked back into the room to change his clothes like a thief.
Auntie Lianhua, who had just finished mopping the floor:...
Just such a trail of footprints, she would just mop it with the floor scrubber later, the workload is not large. But Wu Lan hates those people who don't lift their feet when the mop is in front of them. Seeing Auntie Lianhua take the floor scrubber at this moment, she immediately understood—
Just at this moment, a burst of wailing came from outside the courtyard.
To say that the sound of rain is too loud, it's soundproofing! In the past, people could hear it before they turned this corner, but now that they are at the door, everyone was stunned:
Is this a child's crying?
How many families in their village have children back for summer vacation?
The whole family looked out from the corridor curiously.
As they watched, what arrived before the person was a burst of loud laughter, mixed with the child's miserable crying, inexplicably having a sense of joy.
After waiting for a while, it was Liu Li Baoni from the village who came in holding a big umbrella. She was holding her granddaughter who was wearing a little yellow duck raincoat and rain boots, one crying with a wide mouth, the other laughing with a wide mouth.
Looking further back, eh, why is there a goose?
It's just that this goose is half-grown, probably not raised well, and its fur is a bit patchy. Moreover, it was shrinking its head in the rain, completely without the spirit of their big white goose, but rather a bit shabby.
"Yo!" Wu Lan laughed: "Why are you willing to come to my house to sit for a while today? Come, come, come in and sit, bring your granddaughter to eat something—do you want to eat watermelon?"
Things in the Old Song family are too expensive, so everyone is usually embarrassed to come.
To say it's a bit expensive, there must be those who come to eat and drink for free on purpose, or those who don't have good intentions. But it's so expensive—
Heavens!
I heard that watermelon can't even be bought for 20 per catty this year.
In that case, everyone really only comes to have a piece or two when there is something to do, and it's not good to have more.
The reason why the whole village has a simple atmosphere—sigh! Isn't it because they want to buy vegetable seedlings from their house, and want to work in the fields, in short, to earn more money!
In short, Liu Li Baoni was also very generous:
"How did you know? I just wanted to bring my granddaughter to have a taste and coax her out of this crying spell. Oh, I don't know how she was raised in the city, she's been howling for an hour and is even hiccuping, and she won't stop."
She really has a lot of strength.
She laughed as she spoke. The granddaughter pouted: "Woo woo woo, hiccup, call woo I, I hiccup, I am now, hiccup, can't stop..."
Look at that poor little thing!
Although it's immoral, it's really getting funnier.
But after crying for a long time, it will indeed be hard to stop. Wu Lan therefore hurriedly greeted:
"Come, come into the house and eat two pieces of watermelon, it will be fine after pressing it down."
The little girl was pulled and stood on the corridor, sobbing.
Closing the umbrella, taking off the raincoat, changing the rain boots, the movements were orderly, serious, slow, just hiccuping and crying from time to time, really pitiful and funny!
But after all, she walked over from the rain curtain, and Liu Li Baoni was embarrassed looking at the clean floor:
"The floor is all dirty because of you."
This time Auntie Lianhua had something to say: "Where, look, I'm just about to mop it, it doesn't affect anything!"
Pointing again, a wet, dripping dirty watermark spread forward, and there was mud rubbed off from the clothes.
Liu Li Baoni:...
She looked inexplicably relieved.
Looking at her granddaughter again, she was small, so she moved a small stool for her alone.
The other party was only six or seven years old, and at this moment she was serious, with her waist straight and her hands on her knees, sitting on the small stool in such a regular way:
"I hiccup, woo woo I didn't come to eat watermelon hiccup! My home hiccup! My home has, hiccup! I came to give my, give my baby hiccup! Baby support! You hiccup! You have to, have to apologize to my baby hiccup!"
Yo!
At such a young age, she said a lot of things intermittently, and it was quite imposing.
Now Wu Lan was even happier, quickly picked a small watermelon, cut it with a click, gave her a piece, and hummed and hawed:
"Okay, I'll support your baby! Come, you eat a piece of watermelon first, and smooth out your hiccups, otherwise you can't speak clearly, and we don't know why we should support her."
The little girl hesitated for a moment.
The watermelon in front of her with red melon flesh exuded a faint fragrance, which seemed a bit different from what her grandma bought.
But, but her baby was bullied!
She came to seek justice, would it be bad to eat someone else's watermelon?
This thought had just turned in her little head when another burst of air pushed up from her chest and abdomen—
"Hiccup!"
She couldn't help but pout and wanted to cry again.
Actually, actually she didn't want to cry anymore, but she couldn't stop!
Don't children want face?
The little girl choked and sobbed twice, and her little hand finally took the piece of watermelon.
But the harsh words still had to be said:
"Thank you, Auntie, hiccup! Even, even if you invite me to eat watermelon hiccup! Still, still hiccup, still have to apologize to my baby! Hiccup!"
Who can hold back laughter at this? Not laughing out loud is everyone's greatest respect for the little girl.
Wu Lan couldn't help but laugh: "You eat first, and after you finish eating, straighten out your words, and then tell us why you want us to apologize?"
"Look, we haven't even left the house."
"Besides, who is your baby?"
Looking like this, she is still a baby herself, and she already has a baby?
Looking at Liu Li Baoni again, she had already taken the watermelon and started eating it in big bites, completely ignoring her granddaughter's baby.
The little girl opened her mouth, looking anxious, wanting to spit out a belly full of words.
But she couldn't speak clearly because of the hiccups, and the watermelon in front of her was really fragrant and tempting, so she finally lowered her head and took a bite.
Wow!
A child's reaction is the most straightforward. Once the watermelon entered her mouth, she almost looked up in astonishment, her eyes wide open, and her whole face was full of:
【Wow!】
Then she chewed quickly like a little hamster, and after a few bites, she had completely left the baby behind, lowered her head, and took another big bite.
With guests present, Auntie Lianhua was embarrassed to keep cleaning the floor. At this moment, the Old Song family sat down together and finally started eating.
Rain has a thousand bad things, but the temperature has dropped.
It's just that it dropped awkwardly, thirty-one or thirty-two degrees, if you don't turn on the air conditioner, it's dry, if you turn on the air conditioner, it's cool.
Finally, Wu Lan, who has always been frugal, made the final decision: don't turn it on.
Now eating such a watermelon to reduce the noise, the temperature is just right.
It's just that Song Sancheng changed his clothes again, tidied up his equipment, and opened the door to come out, but now there is a group of people outside...
He could only close the door expressionlessly and nonchalantly, then nodded to the fellow villagers with a smile, and turned to go outside the house again.
On the corridor, a bald, molting, quail-like youthful goose was shrinking its head and neck there. Seeing someone come out, it let out a weak "goose" sound and continued to shrink its neck back.
Song Sancheng:...
Whose goose is raised like this?
Look at this coward, it's like it's been beaten eight hundred times a day.
Song Sancheng continued his fishing career like a thief. And inside the house, the little girl finished eating a piece of watermelon while sobbing, and was just fidgeting when Wu Lan stuffed another piece into her hand.
After eating, another piece.
At the fourth piece, Liu Li Baoni reached out and stopped her:
"She's a child, she can't eat so much."
Looking at her granddaughter again, she really stopped hiccuping, her eyes followed the watermelon, and she clearly left the baby behind.
Until Wu Lan brought over a plate of rice candy.
Popcorn made from their own rice, Seventh Grandpa and Lu Chuan made it into rice candy together. It's just that the peanuts weren't ripe, otherwise, if they added some peanuts, it would be so fragrant to eat.
But even so, this rice candy looked plain, but it had an extra rich sweetness when it entered the mouth.
Liu Li Baoni pushed it away twice, but didn't push it away, and now she and her granddaughter were each holding a piece of candy and eating it.
What baby?
Rice candy baby?
The adults were chatting lively, and Liu Li Baoni complained:
"His parents are worry-free, they just throw the child in their hometown and don't care, just saying don't let them play with mobile phones... You say it's fortunate that it's raining, otherwise, being busy in the fields all day isn't enough, where is there time to take care of the child?"
Taking the child to the fields, snakes, insects, rats, ants, and the sun, it's suffering.
If you want her to stay at home peacefully and not do dangerous things, you have to stuff a mobile phone into her hand.
Back and forth, the child is addicted to the mobile phone, and the parents complain again...
Oh my!
Liu Li Baoni sighed deeply: "It's really hard to raise children nowadays."
Anyway, she doesn't plan to go to the city to live with her children when she gets old, it's quite good to stay in her hometown. If you can work, work, if you can't, you still have some savings.
If there is really any discomfort, there are people in the village who drive private cars!
And their Secretary Zhu is not bad either.
We won't mention the previous secretary, renovating a house, if you didn't mention two bottles of wine, things wouldn't get done.
Coming to Secretary Zhu, whatever procedure there is, she asks about it in advance, we follow the steps one by one, and it gets done.
And the welfare of the five-guarantee households is also good, not only is the village thinking about it, but the Old Song family is also kind, the big cotton-padded jackets and trousers in winter, the grapes from a while ago...
In short, in the past, Liu Li Baoni felt that the village was gradually becoming desolate, making their hearts feel empty.
Now...
Is the vegetable field cleaned up?
Are the vegetable racks set up neatly?
City people come to buy vegetables, where are the tender ones growing?
If it really doesn't work, the Old Song family has such a big mountain, there is always some work that can be spared every day.
Nowadays, there is a shortage of people, not a shortage of work.
As for whether it's lively or not... Once Zhang Hong's tofu workshop opened, Dr. Guo's reputation gradually spread, not to mention that it's full on Saturdays and Sundays, even from Monday to Friday, it hasn't decreased.
It's just that it's been raining these past few days, and the village can't be visited, so the people who come are Dr. Guo's patients, mostly concentrated in that area.
Otherwise, walking in the village, you can often see city people pointing at the cucumbers in the fields and saying they want to break one to taste.
In short, talking about these rural topics, there is really endless talk.
What's more, there are many people coming, and there is a lot of gossip, from a sentence—
"Do you know who that is in X Village?"
Starting from this sentence, the gossip can spread to ten miles and eight villages!
Don't say Wu Lan likes to listen, Song Tan also likes to listen.
Otherwise, why did she plant so many sunflowers this year? Besides looking good, there is also a lack of this.
Without melon seeds, there is no atmosphere.
Looking at the six or seven-year-old little girl again, she was still sitting on the stool, wiping her hands clean, her eyes wide open, listening to the adults talk, half-understanding, but—
"Grandma, don't talk first, let me talk, okay? Mine is more important."
When this was said, everyone came back to their senses:
"That's right, the little girl wants to seek justice for her baby, this matter is more important, Li Baoni, don't talk, let her talk."
Liu Li Baoni's gossip was only halfway through, and at this moment she winked at everyone, deciding that after the child's matter was resolved, she would come over, and everyone would have an adult session separately.
Next, it was time to listen earnestly to the child's demands.
The little girl who didn't hiccup was clearly thinking about it for a long time:
"My baby was playing in the village and was beaten bald by a big, big, very fierce, very fierce goose—Grandma said this is the goose from Grandma Wu Lan's house."
She clenched her little fist, her expression very solemn:
"Bullying geese is wrong, I want to seek justice for my baby!"
These little words were quite a set, looking at her serious appearance, everyone almost couldn't hold back their laughter.
And Song Tan looked at the corridor outside, that poor half-grown goose was shrinking at the foot of the wall, motionless.
It seems that from body to soul, it has indeed been devastated.
However, the little girl was protecting her baby, and Song Tan also had to protect her big white goose.
At this moment, she took the initiative to ask:
"Our Big White is also a good baby! Very obedient, very sensible, never bullies other geese, and it has its own work, it has to patrol every day, lead the duck flock out to beg for food, there is no time to wander around the village at all—how could your baby be bullied?"
A long piece of words made the little girl's head dizzy. She straightened it out one by one earnestly, and suddenly became anxious:
"I saw it!"
She stood up from the stool, opened her arms and swung them back, imitating the way Big White flaps its wings, and her neck stretched forward with force:
"That very fierce goose, it was like this! Like this—"
When 【Like this】, she even pouted, trying to imitate the charm: "Just like this, it grabbed our baby's neck in one bite and pulled out a big bunch of hair."
"Then it pulled our baby's back again, its big feathers were all pulled down!"
"Baby is so painful, it has been screaming loudly there!"
Then she also became anxious, so she was not afraid of Big White's ferocity and bravely rushed forward!
When she opened her hands and protected her baby behind her, she saw the big white goose that was almost as tall as her—
The little girl was so scared that she cried, but this sentence is omitted, don't talk about it!
In short!
That fierce big white goose stretched its neck and 【goose】ed, then flapped its wings nonchalantly, and its bean eyes that looked down on the world glanced at her sideways, before it waddled its butt and went back into the river.
In short!
As the baby's mother, she is so angry!
?? March! It passed without doing anything... My vegetables weren't planted, and the dress for my friend wasn't made...
