Peach blossom outside bamboo

Some things, only care about meeting without words.

Xiaosan felt that the wonderful things happened to him, and this feeling was quite felt among the family members.

In fact, Xia Silang, Liansheng, Huzi, and even Shitou mentioned certain things cryptically. Anyone with eyes and hearts could see the changes in Xiaosan, but no one said anything about it. Then move on.Think about it, in fact, this is also a kind of love!

When Shitou and Xinhe returned home in the evening, the two brothers naturally had a lot of fun when they met. Xiaosan had reminded Huzi not to mention the child in front of the two of them.

Huzi and Xinhe were married three years ago. Last year, Xinhe became pregnant, but she had a miscarriage shortly thereafter.Therefore, Xiaosan learned that pregnancy is a very dangerous thing for men in this world, not everyone can give birth to children one after another like Liansheng!It also made him understand why there are only two or three children in each family in the village, although he has never heard of contraceptive measures.

Because of the child, Xinhe's temperament has improved in recent years, but now he has become more silent, with a gloomy face, no matter how you look at it, he looks like the heroine of a tragic drama.Fortunately, everyone felt sorry for him. Although he was very introverted, his family members did not blame him for it.However, in front of him, Xiao San felt suffocated and panicked, and most of the time he would rather face Xiao Si's rambunctious brat.Under normal circumstances, everyone would avoid mentioning things about children in front of him, and even Xiao Si would deliberately be quiet in front of him.

Of course Huzi responded, he was also afraid of encountering someone like Xinhe, and he really didn't know how to deal with it, so he just chatted warmly with Shitou all night.

In the countryside, everyone usually wakes up earlier, often getting up before the sun has come out of the mountains and the sky and the earth are still filled with blue breath.At this time, the air is more clear and charming, mixed with the fragrance of grass and trees, just one breath can make people feel lighter.

Xin He was the first to get up in the family. When Xiao San walked into the yard, he was fetching water by the well to wash clothes.After greeting him casually, Xiao San stood in the middle of the yard and stretched his hands and feet. He had long forgotten about doing morning exercises, and now he was just stretching his arms and legs to loosen his muscles and bones.

It should be early for breakfast.When Hu Zi came home yesterday, everyone drank a few more glasses and chatted late. At this time, they are probably still in bed.Xiao San himself is already used to this kind of living habit of going to bed early and getting up early, and wakes up at a similar time every day. He doesn't stay in bed, and gets up when he wakes up.Besides, in the countryside, the temperature in the morning is said to be suitable, and many things can be done.When the sun is strong at noon, you can have a good rest.

It takes less than a quarter of an hour to run from home to the chicken farm by the river.The size of the chicken farm is not much different from six years ago. In recent years, there have been more chickens in the village, and raw eggs and chicken are not easy to sell.Xia's chicken farm is mainly engaged in the business of pickled eggs. Xia Silang and Liansheng have also learned how to do it. After the pickled eggs are prepared, they are directly bought at the restaurant, and they are delivered in small quantities every month.In this way, the monthly money will be relatively stable. Although it is not a lot of money, the continuous and stable income is also very good.And because the monthly income is not too much, no one in the village is jealous enough to gossip.Although there are others who follow suit, their craftsmanship is not very good, and only Xiao San can mix spices with spiced eggs, so they can't keep up with Xia Silang's family in business.

In the chicken farm, an old man from a neighboring village was invited to help. He usually takes care of the farm and sprinkles chicken food regularly.The work in the yard is mainly done by the Xia family themselves.Xiao San will visit the chicken farm regularly, mainly to check if anyone is sick.A few years ago, there was a chicken plague in the village. Although the remedy was timely, everyone suffered a lot.It was also because of this that the chicken farmers in the village did not expand blindly, which made Xiao San secretly relieved.

After a general look, he prepared chicken food and water and put them in the trough.Xia's chickens are free-range in large sheds. After feeding, the roosters and hens will automatically rush to grab the food, and there is no need to do anything special after that.After saying hello to the old man, he ran all the way back home.This trip is equivalent to morning exercise.

After returning home, everyone had already woken up, Huzi played chess with the guests in the pear tree, Xia Silang and Shitou were watching the battle, and they looked quite relaxed.In the kitchen, Liansheng and Xinhe were busy making breakfast, porridge made from new rice, spiced pickled eggs, and egg pancakes.

Seeing that there was nothing to help in the kitchen, Xiao San went to the house to catch Xiao Si to get up, and only that child at home could sleep in late.And regardless of what he said, he would sleep until after lunch.Slap the back of his butt a few times, and the underside of the thin quilt just moved a little bit, Xiaosan couldn't laugh or cry, and continued to slap him to get him up.

Breakfast is eaten in the yard. Things are arranged on the stone lawn in front of the kitchen. There is a long log table that is neither polished nor painted, and a few long benches.The rice porridge pancakes served in a large basin, and the five-spice eggs served in a small bamboo basket are all fragrant and whet your appetite.Liansheng smiled and greeted everyone to sit down one by one.

Xiao San saw that the guest sitting across from him was not used to this way of eating. Although his movements were elegant, he used a spoon to drink porridge for a while, sandwiched cakes with chopsticks for a while, and couldn’t do anything with the round eggs. Suddenly, Puchi laughed.Regardless of Liansheng staring at him, he motioned to the man, grabbed the cake with one hand, and served the porridge with the other, drank the rice porridge slowly, and then took a bite of the omelet, which was delicious and convenient.The pickled eggs are also picked up by hand and paired with rice porridge and drank loudly.The man stayed for a long while before carefully imitating his movements, which seemed very novel.The rest of the family couldn't help covering their faces when they saw Xiao San's exaggerated movements, but they didn't notice that the guest was very interested in this new way of eating, and he was learning from Xiao San with gusto.

After the meal, Xia Silang took Huzi to various houses to visit. He hadn't been home for so many years, so of course he had to visit the folks when he came back.Yesterday was because I had just arrived home, and I only visited a few houses, but today the whole village had to say hello.

Xiao San didn't want to stay at home with the guests, so she found a free time and slipped away after eating.

Then, without knowing it, I went to the bamboo forest again.

Because the bamboo forest was bought, the villagers seldom come here. Although the owner's family has been away for many years, the villagers have formed a routine.As a result, there were fewer people, and the forest became more and more luxuriant. Branches of green bamboo rushed to the sky, covering the sky and closing the sun.As long as there is a little breeze, the bamboo leaves will rustle.

In fact, he seldom went to the 'Secret Base'. In the past two years, he finally gave up drinking goat milk, and the goats were bought directly.Also from then on, he rarely came to play in the woods.The last time I came here, there were two more pointed bamboo shoots among the stones on the base. Xiaosan moved the stones for the small bamboo shoots at that time. It has been a long time since I saw them. They must have grown into two slender green bamboos that depend on each other...

For some reason, there was an unknown premonition in my heart, Xiaosan walked through the bamboo forest familiarly, holding on to the dense green bamboos, walking more and more anxiously.

After a while, he arrived at the open space, the stones on the ground were still piled up randomly, and as he had imagined, two tall and straight green bamboos grew out of the open space.But at this time, Takeshita's half-lying figure reminded him of a child many years ago.

That kid who always likes to wear black clothes and keep silent...

"Cai Jingyun?!"

"……I'm back……"
