The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy

The autumn sky is high and the blue sky is filled with floating clouds.

On both sides of the road at the entrance of Yuxi Village, the leaves of the jujube trees are yellow and falling.

The large rice fields around have been harvested, leaving only neatly arranged rice stalks.

The stone tablet in front of the stone bridge has stood for ten years. After being attacked by wind, frost, rain and snow, the large vermilion characters have faded slightly, adding to its ancient simplicity.

The drum for complaining about grievances nearby also felt weathered by the wind and frost, but it did not reduce the people's devout reverence for it.

Although the autumn is supposed to be bleak, there are sounds everywhere that add vitality.

Ducks are quacking as they play in the Yu Shui River, and farmers are busy tending to the herbs and chatting in the medicinal fields.

Walking into the village along the bustling entrance, you can hear the sound of people reading from afar.

"The wise words of the past teach you earnestly. Collect and expand the rhymes, so that you can see and hear more..."

"To understand the present, we should learn from the past. Without the past, there would be no present. Know yourself and know your enemy, and put yourself in their shoes..."

"Drink wine with friends, recite poetry to those who understand..."

The bell rings and it’s time to take a short break between classes.

The students cheered and rushed out of the classroom. Some were throwing sandbags and playing shuttlecock in the small playground in front of the dormitory, some ran to the small kitchen and asked the old lady who made tea for some tea with a playful smile, and some rushed to the town chess room over there and asked Master Yan to teach them chess.

"Grandma Li, fresh angelica dahurica has been delivered! It has been washed and you can cook it directly. It will be enough for your tea in the afternoon!" Lin Huaisong brought two large baskets of fresh angelica dahurica into the small kitchen, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his voice was mellow and clear.

Mrs. Li wiped her hands on her apron, picked up the cold rice dumplings on the stove and handed them over. "Okay, leave them there. I'll sort them out later. The basket is still draining, isn't it heavy to carry like this? Don't you even know how to put it on the cart, silly boy?"

"You underestimated me, didn't you? How heavy are these two baskets?" Lin Huaisong laughed, peeled the cold rice dumplings and ate them while walking out. "You are busy, I will go back first. My father is so lazy, I guess he has pushed a lot of work on me again."

"I'll tell your grandma later and ask her to beat him up! He really doesn't act like a father. He's getting more and more naughty as he gets older... By the way, when will Bai Xiang come back?"

"She wrote that she would be home tonight."

"Okay, I'll leave some cold rice dumplings for her. She likes sweet food."

After the old woman finished speaking, she continued to busy herself on the stove, lighting a fire and boiling tea.

When her grandson grew up and started going to school, he no longer needed someone to take care of him, so she would come to the private school whenever she had time to serve tea to the children.

The woman, who is already in her sixties, is still nimble at work and speaks with full energy, without looking old at all.

Not only her, but many elders in the village are like this.

Nourished by the aroma of Baixiang tea and medicinal herbs, his energy and spirit are much better than those of his peers outside the village.

Lin Huaisong smiled, walked briskly out of the private school, and turned to the back path to go home.

Just as he walked into the alley, someone suddenly jumped out from behind and patted him on the shoulder. Before he turned around, he held his head with both hands and said in a strange voice, "Guess who I am~"

Lin Huaisong rolled his eyes, grabbed the hand that was pulling his head and threw it over his shoulder.

"Oh my god, you really didn't hold back at all! I came back specially to bring you some souvenirs, but now I won't give them to you!" The young man at the back did two backflips with the force of being thrown out, and landed steadily and agilely. He looked just as arrogant as when he was a child.

The little fat boy in the past is still a little fat boy now.

Slightly fat.

The fat on his body became firmer, his stature grew taller, and his facial features became clearer, unexpectedly making him look unusually handsome.

Look noble and proud.

For this, Young Master Jin would show off in front of his good brothers five, six, seven or eight times every year, like a peacock ready to spread its feathers at any time.

"Why should I hold back? If I didn't know it was you, would I have just given you a shoulder throw?" Lin Huaisong cursed with a smile and kicked him out.

"I hide, I hide, but I can't be kicked! Hahaha!" Jin Duobao dodged and ran forward, his body twisted into a pretzel shape, making the people chasing him laugh.

When I entered the house, the two men who had just been running away and chasing each other were already like brothers, with their shoulders around each other.

In the kitchen, the old lady with gray hair poked her head out to glance at the two of them, then cursed with a smile, "Are you reconciled now? Who just called you bastard and told you to wait for me? I could hear it from far away."

Lin Huaisong, "..." Ahem, he cursed.

Jin Duobao, this bastard, knew that he would not lower his voice when cursing when he was laughing, so he schemed against him again!

Jin Duobao quickly slipped away from his good brother and happily went into the kitchen, "Grandma Lin, what delicious food have you made? Braised fish, I like it! Sweet and sour pork knuckle, Baixiang likes it! I said that Grandma Lin is the most beloved in the family! Look, where can I find such a caring old lady!"

There was a loud bang.

Then Jin Duobao screamed miserably.

Then the old lady of the Jin family snorted coldly.

Lin Huaisong stayed outside the kitchen and didn't go in. He found a place to hold his belly and laugh.

You deserve it! If you praise another old lady in front of your own old lady, you deserve to be beaten!

The middle-aged women who were busy making new winter clothes for the old and young in the main room simply closed their ears and were too lazy to join in the fun.

This kind of scene can be seen every now and then.

Even if I had that much time, it wouldn't be enough to make winter clothes.

Now that there are a lot more people in the family than before, just preparing seasonal clothes in advance requires them to be busy all year round.

"It's a good thing Duidui is not here, otherwise if I had seen Duobao, I would have gone to Duidui again." Zhang Cui'e laughed happily when she mentioned the boy from Jiang'er's family.

Xiao Xingwei couldn't help laughing when she thought about picking on that kid.

Jiang'er and Enhui got married eight years ago. The next year they gave birth to a big fat boy, and the third year they gave birth to a cute and lovely daughter.

The boy's full name is Lin Lianzhou, his nickname is Lin Duidui, and he has inherited the manners of Grandpa Xu completely.

The daughter's full name is Lin Handan, and her nickname is Xiao Hehua. She has the same personality as her father, being gentle and well-behaved.

Now the children in the family have grown up one by one, and they are getting older day by day.

Fortunately, other than that, nothing has changed.

Yuxi Village is still the same Yuxi Village. The number of villagers has remained the same, but has increased.

In addition to those from the village, there were also retired ministers from the court who had squeezed in by various means.

The small houses scattered throughout the village are the ministers' retirement homes... Even so, there are still many powerful people trying to squeeze into the village.

"Bai Xiang said that he would be home before tonight. He can stay longer this time, right?" Zhang Cui'e lowered her head and sewed, and then changed the subject casually.

Speaking of her daughter, Xiao Xingwei could no longer be happy and sighed, "I don't know yet, this child is very opinionated. She started to travel frequently to be a traveling doctor at the age of thirteen. She was too busy to treat illnesses and save lives, so she opened a clinic to recruit apprentices... Now she is the busiest person in the family."

"Isn't there a saying that a doctor has a benevolent heart? Bai Xiang has excellent medical skills. If she doesn't use them to treat illnesses and save lives, wouldn't that be a waste of such a good skill? Treating illnesses and saving lives is a merit. God knows every bit of merit Bai Xiang has earned now. He will definitely let her live a peaceful life and enjoy a happy life in the next life!"

"You're getting more and more talkative. Did you learn this from flattering your mother? Or did you learn this from arguing with your mother?"

"My mouth is better than yours, and you're laughing at me? An elder sister-in-law is like a mother! Do you know that? Be nice to me!"
