My humble days in ancient times

After Ye Xiaomei came over, Xu Ruyi and Xu Xiaohua were so happy that they smiled from ear to ear.

Xu Xiaohua deftly brought a bowl of canned yellow peaches. The crystal clear appearance made people drool.

Ye Xiaomei's eyes widened, full of curiosity and surprise: "What kind of fresh food is this?"

"It's canned yellow peaches." Xu Xiaohua said with a smile.

"Come and try it!" Xu Ruyi greeted enthusiastically.

"Then I won't be polite!" Ye Xiaomei couldn't wait to pick up a piece of yellow peach and put it in her mouth. As she ate, she exclaimed, "Oh, it's so delicious."

"If it doesn't taste good, our lady won't make it." Xu Xiaohua couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh when she saw her wolfing down the food.

Ye Xiaomei looked at Xu Xiaohua and Xu Ruyi and said, "Sister Ruyi is so smart. I couldn't have thought of such food. I thought watermelon was delicious, but I didn't expect that this canned yellow peach is also delicious." Her eyes flashed with admiration.

Xu Ruyi smiled as she watched her eat: "If it tastes good, eat more. You can take some back later and eat it slowly."

Ye Xiaomei nodded happily: "Okay! I couldn't ask for more."

After dinner, Ye Xiaomei pestered Xu Ruyi to play the guzheng. The melodious sound seemed to penetrate the soul, enchanting it. After the music, Ye Xiaomei dragged Xu Ruyi to play cards, which they had a great time.

Ye Xiaomei said, "Sister Ruyi, your current life is my goal."

"Okay, then you have to work hard and become the same as me in the future, no, even surpass me." Xu Ruyi said encouragingly.

Ye Xiaomei smiled beautifully: "I really hope that day will come."

Since coming to Xujia Village, Ye Xiaomei has been living a happy life, at least she is in a good mood every day.

His brother Ye Xiaotian came to see her. Seeing the bright smile on her face and the peaches and watermelons on the table, he knew that she was living a good life.

Sometimes I often come up empty-handed.

At this time, the neighbor would tell him: "He must have gone to play with Xu Ruyi again! They often play together and have a good relationship!"

Ye Xiaotian would ask: "How do I get to Xu Ruyi's house?"

"It's that big yard. When you go there and see Ruyi Chili Shop, then go west and you will reach Xu's house. Ruyi lives there." The neighbor aunt gestured enthusiastically.

Ye Xiaotian knew the direction his neighbor was pointing. He remembered the first time he entered the village, he saw the large courtyard, the wall extending up the hillside. Then, from afar, he saw a vast expanse of peach blossoms in full bloom, their pink and tender color a fairyland. Then, he saw many people picking peaches; that bustling scene is still vivid in his mind.

Ye Xiaotian said goodbye to his aunt and went to Xu's house.

As soon as he entered the yard, he was mesmerized by the colorful flowers. He walked through the large garden and came to the living room. Feng Wuduo brought him a bowl of mung bean soup with a smile on her face.

Then Feng Wuduo took him into Wutong Courtyard. On the second floor, they found Ye Xiaomei, Xu Ruyi, Xu Xiaohua, and Du Xiaoyue playing cards happily!

He didn't understand playing cards, and he had never dared to imagine such a comfortable and leisurely life before.

Ye Xiaomei said, "Brother is here."

Xu Ruyi instructed Feng Wuduo: "Give him some watermelon to eat for fun."

Then she smiled at him and said, "Please sit down!"

Ye Xiaotian sat down flattered, and then ate the watermelon, thinking that the watermelon was a real delicacy.

At this moment, he realized that it might be nice for his sister to stay here, even better than at home.

After playing for a while, Xu Ruyi said to Ye Xiaomei, "Come walk around the yard with your brother and talk!" Her voice was soft and gentle.

Ye Xiaomei nodded obediently, and then took Ye Xiaotian to take a look at the vegetable garden.

As soon as Ye Xiaotian walked into the vegetable garden, he was stunned by the neat and clean scene. His eyes were drawn to the watermelons that filled the garden. Each plump watermelon lay quietly in the ground, as if waiting for people to pick it.

Ye Xiaomei said excitedly: "In this village, Sister Ruyi is the most unique. I heard from my mother that she can do a lot of things. She made egg pancakes and rice balls, chili oil and chili sauce, designed this yard, created the vegetable garden and flower garden, and also created the peach garden and chicken coop in the west. She also created the big pond, the chili peppers in the field, and a large paddy field..." She talked incessantly, her face full of admiration and pride.

Ye Xiaotian was also shocked. His mouth was slightly open and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Now I am very grateful to be here, because I met Sister Ruyi here. This kind of coincidence is also very good." Ye Xiaomei said with satisfaction.

Ye Xiaotian muttered, "Maybe! But if you change your mind and want to go back, remember not to show it. Just wait until next time and tell me." His eyes were filled with concern and worry.

Ye Xiaomei nodded vigorously and said, "I will remember you, big brother. But big brother, that day will probably never come."

Ye Xiaomei vividly described the people and events of the village, and Ye Xiaotian listened attentively, not blinking, afraid to miss any details. Unconsciously, until the sunset, the gorgeous sunset glowed half the sky red, Ye Xiaotian reluctantly left.

Ye Xiaomei picked a watermelon and gave it to him: "Take it, I bought it for you, and Sister Ruyi won't say anything to me."

Just as Ye Xiaotian was about to leave, Xu Ruyi came over with two cans of food and said with a smile, "Take some back for the children to try!"

"Thank you very much, Miss. I hope you can take good care of me in the future. Ye Xiaotian is very grateful." Ye Xiaotian bowed quickly.

"Don't worry, I promise you. And her mother loves her very much. She is working in the chicken coop now and earning a lot of money," Xu Ruyi comforted.

"Thank you, I feel relieved now." This time, Ye Xiaotian finally left with peace of mind, looking back every few steps.

"Look, your brother cares about you so much. Don't leave tonight, stay here and watch the night view with me." Xu Ruyi said, holding Ye Xiaomei's hand.

In the evening, Ye Xiaomei, Xu Ruyi, Xu Xiaohua, Xu Ruyuan and Du Xiaoyue were catching fireflies in the yard together.

They laughed and ran, their laughter like silver bells echoing in the night sky. Then they carefully placed the fireflies in the lanterns, and the little fluorescent lights flickered, like a dream.

I went upstairs to enjoy the breeze and the night view. The mountains in the distance were faintly visible under the moonlight, and the lights in the village were twinkling.

All of this is so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated and forget all their worries.

Lying in bed, Ye Xiaomei tossed and turned. After a while, she said to Xu Ruyi, "Sister Ruyi, I can't remember what my parents look like. Sometimes I think of them, but now I'm so afraid that I will forget them." Her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes revealed deep fear and loss.

"What's the big deal? Just draw them." Xu Ruyi said easily, with a comforting tone in his voice.

"Is it really possible? But I can't draw." Ye Xiaomei asked timidly, her eyes full of expectation and uncertainty.

"It's okay, I can do it!" Xu Ruyi smiled brightly, immediately stood up and sat at the table, quickly unfolded the white paper, and said to Ye Xiaomei, "Xiaomei, you take your time to describe it, and I'll start drawing."
