This little brother, is there a marriage partner?

Granny Su saw a young woman by the small wooden house behind her yard, with a fair complexion, big black grape-like eyes, her hair tied up in a small bun, and a few strands of black hair hanging down her cheeks.The woman straightened her back, wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, and continued to use a small scythe to clear the weeds in the open space in front of the cabin.Because the house used to be the residence of an outsider, and later that person left here, leaving the hut still there, but no one lived in it for a long time, the yard in front of the house was full of weeds, and the original neat fenced yard was left. Not much.

While the young woman straightened her back and wiped her sweat, she looked around and saw an old lady with silver hair standing not far away. She gave the old lady a friendly smile with beautiful dimples.Granny Su also waved to her, smiled and went back to the house first, and saw that the baby was still sleeping, with a pale and tender face, big black eyes tightly closed, and long and dense eyelashes.

Grandma Su sighed, such a small doll has grown up like this, it will make people crazy when it grows up.She thought about the milk baby's parents again, and at the same time felt that it was too heartless for them to abandon the baby baby in this way, and at the same time rejoiced that it was lucky that the baby baby was thrown away so that an old woman like her with one foot in the grave could have Such a treasure to accompany.

She watched the milk baby sit quietly for a while, and then looked at her own house. Although the house was not too big, it was well-equipped.In addition to the small kitchen, bathing and convenient cabins, the main room is simply furnished and connected to the bedroom, separated by bamboo curtains, and is used for receiving guests and having meals and tea on weekdays.To the west of the small courtyard is a small wooden shed for geese and ducks, which is covered by a huge sycamore tree about the same age as Grandma Su. Therefore, the small courtyard is very cool in summer.On the east side of the yard, there are some small vegetables and peppers, and there is a cool and refreshing well beside it.

This kind of house is more than enough for an elderly woman like her, but Granny Su thinks that now there is a baby in the house, and this child has a special physique. Since she promised to raise this child, she must give it to others. The best thing is not to let the doll suffer with herself.She thought for a while, then looked at Nanny again, seeing that he would not wake up for a while, and then walked out with little feet.

She went out to look for Shan Lan from Song Laosan's family.

Shan Lan is the youngest son of Song Lao San's family, a sturdy boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, with black eyebrows and big eyes, and a very heroic appearance.He has an older brother and a younger sister, and that child was brought up by Granny Su, so he is naturally close to Granny Su.Song Laosan's house was on the other side of the Chuxi River, some distance from the creek where Grandma Su lived. It was almost noon and the sun was very hot.

When Song Shanlan saw Granny Su appearing in front of his house with trembling feet and panting heavily, he immediately dropped the work in hand, wiped his hands on the front of his clothes, and said anxiously and angrily, "Grandma Su, why are you here?" Huh? If there is anything wrong, you can send someone to write to me, and you can tell me. It’s such a hot day, and you can come here by yourself without worrying about heatstroke.” His thick black eyebrows frowned, and he pouted complain.

Granny Su smiled, put his hand on the stone bench in front of their house, took out the handkerchief from her sleeve, wiped off her sweat, and then said: "Shan Lan, grandma, I have something to ask you." You help me, so I came here."

Song Shanlan fanned Granny Su with a cattail fan, and asked, "What's the matter, tell me, I will definitely help."

Granny Su panted, and said, "I want you to buy something for grandma at the market in front of the mountain tomorrow. Grandma wants to redecorate the house."

Song Shanlan was surprised: "Grandma, why is this?"

Grandma Su smiled, her brows and eyes twitched, as if she was talking about some little secret, she lowered Shan Lan's dark face, and whispered, "Grandma, I just raised a baby today."

"Nail baby?" Song Shanlan exclaimed.

Granny Su tugged him down, and scolded with a smile: "Little bastard, you're so big, you can still talk nonsense, and you're not afraid of being laughed at, so which girl is willing to marry you, and you won't be called stupid."

Song Shanlan's face was reddish, and he stiffened his neck in disbelief: "No way, it's obvious that I don't like those girls. They are all so vulgar and noisy, so ghosts like them." Hmph, those girls are all rough. stronger than them.

Granny Su smiled, and said again: "By the way, Shan Lan, if you are free, you can go to my place in the afternoon, I still need your help."

While agreeing, Song Shanlan rushed into his own yard, and because he knew Granny Su's habit of not eating at other people's homes, he took some fresh fruits that he had just picked from the tree, and carried a big bag. He said with a smile: " Let's go, Grandma Su, I'll take you back, by the way, I'll have a meal, and then I'll help you with the work."

Before Granny Su could answer, the laughter and cursing from Song's family came over: "Shan Lan, you bastard is making trouble with your Grandma Su again, and you don't know how to be considerate." A tall middle-aged woman left When she came out, she smiled at Granny Su, who also smiled, and replied, "Shanlan's mother, what are you talking about making a fuss, there's nothing wrong with it, you know, my old lady, I'm a bit lonely living alone, and I was thinking of having young people to accompany me." That's good."

The two chatted for a while, but Granny Su didn't mention the fact that there was an extra baby in the family. She thought, she should know, she would know, and the child had a special body, and she couldn't wrap fire with paper. She didn't want him to live. In the saliva and gossip of the villagers.

Song Shanlan rubbed his swollen belly and sighed contentedly.Sure enough, Grandma Su's cooking is delicious.Smiling, he approached Granny Su, and while beating her shoulders, he asked, "Grandma Su, where's the baby? Show Shanlan quickly, boys and girls?" The excitement in his voice couldn't be stopped.

Granny Su enjoyed her grandson's filial piety, she looked at the bright sunlight in the yard, and said with some hesitation, "Shanlan..."

"Ok?"

She sighed: "If mother-in-law tells you, can you keep it a secret?"

Song Shanlan paused, and asked in a low voice, "What's the secret?" After a short pause, he said firmly, "Yes! Shanlan is very good at keeping secrets." Otherwise, Dr. Lin probably wouldn't be able to stay in the village any longer. Bar.

Granny Su glanced at the bedroom behind the bamboo curtain, looked at Song Shanlan's long and narrow eyes, and said slowly, "This baby is Tianxie."

Song Shanlan was taken aback for a moment, although he didn't quite understand what "Heavenly Eunuch" was, but seeing his grandma's serious expression, he said it was a secret... There was a "click" in his head, maybe this is somewhat similar to Dr. Lin's secret ?

He looked at Granny Su, without asking the question in his heart.Because he promised the man that he would keep the secret for him.

Although he, Song Shanlan, was not as well-mannered as that person, he still had some credibility.He thought of that person's delicate and elegant face, and felt flustered for no reason.

Grandma Su saw that he hadn't said anything for a long time, and thought he was stunned. She sighed softly and said, "Shan Lan, if you can't keep it safe, can you pretend that you didn't hear what grandma said?" Even the baby's parents couldn't. Accept the child's disability, let alone someone else who is so irrelevant.

Song Shanlan's tone was a little flustered: "Grandma Su, if there is nothing wrong, I promise, no one will tell."

Seeing this, Grandma Su didn't say anything else, she got up and opened the bamboo curtain, and she could vaguely see a ball on the bed.The first time Song Shanlan saw such a small creature, the remnants of his childish nature came out. He said "huh" and ran to the bed excitedly, but stopped when he was about to touch the milk baby.He scratched his head, his face a little nervous: "Grandma Su, can I touch it?"

Grandma Su smiled and nodded.Seeing that the child seemed to have won a treasure, he carefully tapped the baby's face with his finger, and then exclaimed: "It's so soft!"

He turned around and asked with a smile, "Grandma Su, is this Shan Lan's younger brother?"

Granny Su said: "Of course. Shan Lan should take good care of him."

Song Shanlan nodded like pecking at rice, but couldn't stop being curious, he poked his calf with his fingers, touched his belly, his eyes were full of smiles.Seeing that he really liked the child, Grandma Su felt less worried.She walked out of the house and saw that the sun was shining outside. She picked up the fresh fruits that Shanlan had just brought, put them in a bamboo basket, went to the well in the east of the yard, and brought up a bucket of water. The fruits in the village were very clean. She They only washed it once, put it in Mu Tuo'er's woven dish, and gave it to Shan Lan to eat.

The grandparents and grandchildren were chatting, and the milk boy woke up and made a slight humming sound.Granny Su hurriedly got up to look, and Song Shanlan nervously followed behind.I saw that the milk baby looked at the plain mosquito net above his head with his eyes wide open, his black and white eyes rolled and turned, and his little hand stretched out, as if trying to reach the mosquito repellent sachet on the mosquito net.

Song Shanlan's eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "This baby is so obedient, he doesn't cry or make trouble when he wakes up."

Granny Su smiled, feeling very relieved, that's right, such a good child.

Let Shanlan go to the fourth aunt's house to ask for some goat milk. According to the method in the morning, Granny Su warmed it up and fed it to the baby.Shan Lan stood on the side watching very seriously, he suddenly said: "Grandma Su, has this baby been named?" After all, it is his younger brother, he finally had a younger brother, he must have a loud and nice name That's good.

Granny Su said: "I haven't had time to get up yet, didn't I just see this child this morning." She looked at Shan Lan with a smile, "What do you think Shan Lan should call it?"

Shan Lan blushed, a little embarrassed: "Grandma Su, Shan Lan doesn't know much, so she doesn't know what to name her." He scratched his head and whispered.

Grandma Su smiled: "The name, the more contemptuous the name, the easier it is to feed. It doesn't matter whether it sounds nice or not." She looked at the little ball in her arms, and said with a smile, "Grandma, I picked him up by the stream. Yes, let’s call him Xiaoxi. From the side of the stream, don’t forget your origin.”

Shan Lan murmured a few times, Xiaoxi Xiaoxi, Su Xiaoxi, it sounds very nice, at least better than his.He had some resentment in his heart. Although his name sounded elegant, it actually meant mountains!Adding two mountains together, what did father and mother mean at that time!

The grandparents and grandchildren laughed and quarreled for a while. Granny Su saw that the sun was not so poisonous, so she put Xiaoxi on the bed and called Shan Lan out. The two walked out of the yard, and Shan Lan looked at Granny Su suspiciously.Granny Su pointed to the small wooden house behind the yard and said:

"Shan Lan, there is a new family behind grandma's house. She is a pregnant young woman. I think she is alone. It is not easy for her to come to our Sujia Village. I just thought, let you go Help, okay?"

Shan Lan followed the direction Granny Su pointed, and she saw that the dilapidated house had undergone some changes, but the effect was minimal, and weeds and spider webs were still everywhere.He patted his chest and said loudly: "Grandma, don't worry, just leave this small matter to me."

While talking, the two of them had already arrived in front of the cabin, the door was closed tightly and there was no sound.

Granny Su asked, "Is anyone at home?"

There was a rustling sound in the room, and then the wooden door creaked open, and a fair woman came out from inside, with a pointed chin, black grape-like eyes, and a pale face.Seeing the person outside the door, she was a little surprised, and hesitated to ask, "Excuse me, what's the matter?" Her voice was small and humble.

Grandma Su smiled and said: "My old lady, I live in the house in front of my sister-in-law. You can just call me Grandma Su, my sister-in-law. This is my grandson, Shan Lan. The old lady saw you move here in the morning, and saw that you were pregnant alone. Cleaning the house is very difficult, so I took the liberty to come here and want my grandson to help you, I don't know..."

The young woman hurriedly said: "This is too much trouble for you, the little lady is very grateful." Her face turned red suddenly, it was not known whether it was because of the hot weather or something else.

Shan Lan got the permission, immediately rolled up his sleeves, and neatly started to pick up the weeds, leaves and broken wood in the yard.Granny Su took the young woman's hand and asked with concern: "Sister-in-law, how dare you ask your husband? Why didn't you see him come to help clean up?"

The young woman's eyes turned red, she lowered her eyes, bit her lip, and said nothing.

When Granny Su saw this, she also said that others had their own difficulties, so she didn't ask any more questions, and simply said, "What should I call my old lady?"

The young woman wiped her eyes and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law can just call me Ayun."

Grandma Su smiled and said, "Ah Yun, how many months has this body been?"

A Yun touched her bulging belly, her eyes were gentle, and she said softly, "It's almost nine months."

Granny Su said anxiously: "Oh, it's been so long, why are you still running around to move? What a crime it must be." She looked at A Yun distressedly.

A Yun's eyes were red again, her heart was full of gratitude, she forced a smile on her face and said: "Mother-in-law, there is a reason for this, A-Yun, that is, it is not convenient to talk to mother-in-law."

Granny Su nodded, and stopped talking about this, but stood up and looked at the things in her room. There was a bamboo bed with a small bundle on it, two or three wooden chairs, a round table, and a dusty lamp. night light.

Ayun's face was reddish, and she said embarrassedly: "Today, today, I just moved here, and I haven't had time to arrange anything yet, so my mother-in-law laughed."

Granny Su shook her head, and said: "Nothing, I already asked Shan Lan to go to the market to buy some things tomorrow, why don't you ask him to bring you some too."

A Yun hurriedly said: "No need, mother-in-law, I don't need to bother you so much."

Grandma Su smiled and said, "No trouble, I just wanted to buy some things for the little dolls."

A Yun asked in surprise, "Little baby?"

Granny Su smiled, her eyes were full of brilliance: "Well, the old woman just picked up a baby this morning and is going to raise him."

"What a coincidence, we came here on the same day." She stroked her stomach and smiled softly.

"Yes, this is fate. When your doll falls to the ground in the future, they can play together."

Shan Lan's voice came suddenly, "There's me and me!" hurriedly and loudly.Both Ah Yun and Granny Su laughed, this child is still a child at heart.
