Tree Hole Self-Rescue Guide

How long have you not looked up and counted the stars seriously...

"Teacher, Master's wife, we are here to see you." A group of people over 40 years old greeted Mo Yang Liyue.

"You're all here, that's good. There's water in the house, go get some if you're thirsty." Mo Yang looked at the students in the yard with a smile. After not seeing them for half a year, they all started to have white hair, and some of them were starting to go bald. He quickly touched his hair, luckily it was still there.

“If you have nothing to do, please lend a hand. Let’s prepare the ingredients early, light a fire and eat early. Aren’t there a few more people who want me to touch the cicada monkeys to show my filial piety?” Mo Yang was skewering the meat.

"Kids, would you like to follow Sister Xiaoxiao to pick vegetables?" Xu Xiaoxiao and Mo Zhichun took baskets and prepared to go to the vegetable garden to pick some peppers and eggplants, cut some leeks, and pick some tomatoes and cucumbers for the children as fruit after dinner.

"Will handsome brother come with us?" Children can always express their thoughts directly. When they see beautiful things, they naturally want to take a closer look. Even if they didn't say it out loud, their eyes were almost glued to Pei Qiubai.

Mo Zhichun handed the basket to Pei Qiubai and stepped forward to stand in front of Pei Qiubai.

"There are many handsome guys in our yard. Which one are you talking about? Look at that guy washing vegetables. Isn't he handsome?" Mo Zhichun began to set a trap for the children.

"Of course Uncle Gu Ye is handsome, but the brother behind you is more handsome. Brother, can you hold Miaomiao's hand?" The little girl in a floral dress asked Pei Qiubai, but her hand was about to hold Pei Qiubai's fingertips.

"No, brother can only hold hands with his wife and mother, not other opposite sex." Pei Qiubai raised his hand and held Mo Zhichun's wrist.

"Then can I be my brother's bride?" the little girl asked unwillingly, and tried to pull Pei Qiubai's hand holding the basket.

"Then there's no chance for you. He doesn't like younger people. He likes older sisters. He calls out to his older sister in his dreams." Gu Ye couldn't stand it any longer. At such a young age, he was so cunning and yet he took advantage of others. He was really shameless. Miaomiao and Lin Miao really made him allergic to the word Miao.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, Xiaoyu wants to pick cherry tomatoes for you. I sprained my foot. Can I ask her to wait here?" The little fat boy took two stools from the wall and spread them out for his sister to sit on.

Miaomiao grabbed another stool and sat down. "Miaomiao is tired too, your sister and I will wait for you here."

Wang Can's fists were hard. Where did this weird kid come from? He really thinks he is a piece of cake. He squatted down and supported Linlin.

"Linlin, do you want to go to the vegetable field? I can carry you there. Can you wait for us at the edge of the field?"

"Shall we take a picture later to record our first time picking vegetables together?"

Linlin nodded and lay on Wang Can's back. "Then brother, you have to carry me well. Linlin is very heavy."

"Brother, I want to carry it too." Little Miaomiao was unhappy again.

"You said so yourself, wait for us here. Linlin didn't agree, and no one has time to carry you. Let's go, the vegetable picking team. As usual, whoever arrives late will have to accept the dark food fed to them by others. Let's go."

Mo Zhichun pulled Pei Qiubai and the group of children to the vegetable field. If they didn't run, the princess would be like a water dispenser, with cold and hot water running at the same time, and she would make trouble once a year, which was not new at all.

Xu Xiaoxiao threw Miaomiao to Mo Yang, who was watching the fun nearby. It was no big deal for Grandpa Mo to take the blame every year. This time was no exception.

Mo Yang and Miao Miao stared at each other, Miao Miao held back her tears. She turned her head away and faced the wall to reflect on her mistakes. According to past experience, the harder she cried, the more the old man would pretend to be having trouble breathing. She would have to be lectured by her father when she got home, so it was better to just sit there quietly.

The adults had a clear division of labor, and they could find a seat and get involved. The ingredients were ready in an hour. Zhao Guoqing and Gu Qiu lit the charcoal fire, put the chicken wings, mutton, pork belly and other foods that the children liked on the grill, and then handed the stage to them.

Rice was steaming and steamed buns were heating in the kitchen. Under the table were various drinks such as Sprite, Coke, orange juice, and barbecued dishes were served on the table.

Mo Yang saw that the time was almost up, picked up the orange juice on the table, and stood up.

"Come, let me raise a glass. I declare the annual barbecue party officially open. I wish everyone to eat well, drink well, and be in a good mood."

"Everyone, feel free to fill your stomachs first, leaving some room for the watermelon later. The watermelon has been soaked in the well water for quite a while." Li Yue added.

"Okay." The children followed suit and raised their glasses to toast, waiting to get food from Mo Zhichun and Xu Xiaoxiao.

"Xiao Yu, you can only eat one starch sausage. This is your mother's request. I'll give you an extra skewer of chicken wings, and since you've taken care of your sister today, I'll reward you with another skewer of pork belly. Eat these first, and come back for more if you're not satisfied." Xu Xiaoxiao put the plate in front of Xiao Yu.

"Linlin, the photos taken today are so beautiful. Sister will reward you with a sausage." Mo Zhichun handed the plate to Linlin.

Each child received a reward for their dietary restrictions, in addition to the changed ingredients. Some won first place in the running competition, some picked big and red tomatoes, and some washed the vegetables carefully and cleanly...

After a while, the children filled their stomachs and held hands in the yard to digest the food. The adults chatted and ate skewers, talked about their recent situation in the past six months, and the strange things they encountered. They talked about the rumors they heard in other places and asked others to verify them.

The men used orange juice instead of wine and asked Gu Qiu and Zhao Guoqing to sit down and eat.

"Brother Guoqing, Shuozi, there's no need to grill anymore. We're all full. Come over here and sit down to eat something and chat."

"Okay, we'll finish after we finish toasting the steamed bread slices." Gu Qiu responded, urging Zhao Guoqing to go over and sit down while he finished.

"Teacher, Madam. Lin Ling and I have discussed it. Xiaoxiao has been admitted to university this year. We will move back from the city at the end of the year. We will clean up the old house and come back to be your neighbors. Don't mind us being noisy." Zhao Guoqing said with a smile.

"Old Zhao, didn't your eldest son buy a house and get married in the provincial capital? Doesn't your child want you to go and take care of him now that he is several years old?" Miaomiao's mother asked.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. My wife thinks that professional nannies and confinement nannies are much more useful than us. They think it is less troublesome to spend money, and we are not professional enough. The couple lives their life behind closed doors, he lives his and we live ours." Zhao Guoqing is open-minded.

"What will you do when your children grow up and your grandchildren are not close to you?"

"The provincial capital has good resources and many opportunities, but the pressure is naturally great. I'm not with my children, so of course we're not close. You can't always revolve around others in your life. You work hard for your career before marriage, and revolve around your children for 20 years after marriage. After that, you have to revolve around your grandchildren for another 20 years. I don't like being a nanny. Lin Ling and I will live our own lives well. It would be great if we could grow vegetables and flowers like the teacher."
