The next day, Song Shanlan got up early and went out from his own house to Granny Su's house.Because the sky is just bright, the air is humid, mixed with aquatic plants by the stream, with a little earthy smell, which makes people feel refreshed.He had just yelled twice at the gate of the yard when he heard Granny Su's footsteps coming from inside.

"Shan Lan, here you come?" Granny Su smiled while pulling her hair up with a hairpin.

Seeing that Granny Su had just woken up, Song Shanlan said embarrassedly, "Grandma Su, I'm so sorry, did I come a little early? Did I wake you up?"

Grandma Su smiled: "What's the matter? It's because grandma is old, she already sleeps lightly, and she wakes up at this time every day. Come in quickly, have you had breakfast yet?"

Song Shanlan chuckled: "No, I'm here to eat at grandma's house."

Granny Su patted him on the back and asked him to help light the fire, while she prepared to wash the rice and cook.She looked at Shan Lan's taller and taller body, her eyes were full of joy, this child can grow taller, he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he is already taller than his father.

Song Shanlan took out the flint and set fire to the dry and soft weeds, and asked, "Grandma, what are you going to buy soon, please tell me first, I have a plan in my heart."

Grandma Su said: "As an old woman, I can make do with everything at home, but now that I have Xiaoxi, some things need to be finer. I thought, buy some soft fabrics for Xiaoxi. Make some clothes in Xixi, and buy a ewe to bring back to raise at home. The baby needs to drink milk, so I can’t always ask Uncle Zhao’s for it, right? That’s not good.”

Song Shanlan nodded and said, "Grandma, I went back yesterday and told my parents about this." Seeing Granny Su looking at him, he hurriedly explained, "But I didn't mention Xiaoxi's identity... I just said Grandma's family has adopted a little baby, thinking that I will bring you some good things in the future, and more people will take care of you, so you don't have to work so hard by yourself."

When Granny Su heard this, her eyes turned hot, she patted Shan Lan's hand with a smile, and said yes.

Shan Lan seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "Grandma, does Xiaoxi have a cradle? Sleeping with you at night is inconvenient for you and him, right?"

Granny Su said: "I was thinking about this too. Should I buy one at the market and bring it back, or ask someone to help me make one."

Shan Lan's eyes were bright, and he patted his chest and said: "Leave this to me, what to buy, you know that the things in the market are rough, how can I make Shan Lan's beautiful and comfortable ones."

Grandma Su smiled: "Oh, I forgot that you, a brat, can do carpentry. What about the plank? You don't have this ready-made, do you?"

"I'll just buy some of this later. You don't have to worry about it."

While talking, Granny Su had already prepared breakfast, the soft and glutinous rice porridge, with attractive frangipani floating in it, she took out the small bamboo shoots that had been marinated earlier, cut them into strips, mixed them with vinegar Mix it, it looks very refreshing.Granny Su was concerned that Shan Lan was still growing, so she cooked three more salted duck eggs.Looking at the food on the small table, Shan Lan couldn't help twitching his index finger, he said with a smile: "Grandma, you can call me for anything in the future, you can do anything, as long as you let me eat with you. "

Granny Su laughed and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about, you kid? If you want to eat grandma's cooking, just come here. Don't talk about it."

Shan Lan agreed with a smile, helped Granny Su to sit down, served a meal for the two of them, saw Granny Su move her chopsticks, and then began to sink her head into eating.

Oh, it's really delicious.

Song Shanlan carried the silver taels given by Granny Su, and carried a big basket on his back. After breakfast, he set off for the market.When I was at the young woman, that is, Aunt Yun's house yesterday, Granny Su had already asked Aunt Yun what she needed.Nothing more than some things commonly used by women, such as soft fabrics, cotton, needlework, and so on.

Passing by a house with a simple wooden door and a small courtyard, with green smoke slowly rising from the chimney.He scratched his ears, and couldn't help but glance inside a few more times. Through the half-hidden door, he could vaguely see a thin figure in blue shirt.He took a deep breath, and there was a faint medicinal fragrance.

Song Shanlan muttered, why isn't the scent of medicine on this person annoying?He settled down, quickened his pace, and walked towards the front of the mountain.

When he arrived at the market, it was still early, and there were not too many people in the market, so he wandered the street leisurely.There are those who sell vegetables and fruits, and those who buy poultry, cats and dogs. He is not interested in these things. come out……

He coughed and said to the shopkeeper with the little goatee: "Shopkeeper, please give me some soft materials."

The shopkeeper said: "What kind of material do you want, little brother? For what use?"

Song Shanlan curled his lips and said, "I don't know what kind of material it is. It should be soft enough. It is for my younger brother. He is still very young, about two or three months old. Oh, yes, and there is a pregnant woman people also use it."

The shopkeeper understood that he took out two pieces from the cloth, one was white and the other was bright red, Song Shanlan felt it, um, it was really soft, but not as soft as Xiaoxi's face.He frowned: "Is this the softest?"

The shopkeeper smiled: "It's the softest."

Song Shanlan said: "Okay, that's it." He paid the money quickly, wrapped the cloth, put it in the basket on his back, and went to buy other things.

When Song Shanlan led a lamb with a brown pattern on its head back to Grandma Su's house with a basket full of things on its back, the sun was almost at the top of its head.He put down his things, tied up the lamb, took the veil that Granny Su had washed, wiped his face, soaked it in water again, covered his face, and sighed comfortably.

Granny Su looked through the things in the back basket. There were two pieces of cloth, one brightly colored and the other plain; several wooden boards of different sizes; a sewing box; a large ball of cotton wrapped in a small bag; Small gadgets, small drums, small horses, windmills, etc.

She smiled and said to Shan Lan: "Good boy, you bought this windmill for Xiaoxi, right?"

Shan Lan hummed, her face was covered by the veil, her voice was a little fuzzy: "If you don't give it to anyone, I'm already a big man."

Granny Su laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back, and said, "You're better off resting, and when the weather cools down in the afternoon, we'll go to your Aunt Yun's house and help her tidy up the yard."

Shan Lan wondered: "Grandma, didn't you already tidy up yesterday?" Weeds and sundries have been cleared away, what else to tidy up?

Granny Su said: "Your Aunt Yun is pregnant, so it's inconvenient, and their house doesn't have a perfect yard. If there are any villains, it will be very dangerous. I thought, why don't you help build a fence?"

Shan Lan suddenly realized that her mother-in-law was really delicate, and quickly agreed.

Granny Su took the things A Yun needed, got up and went to the cabin behind the yard.

Ah Yun was struggling to cook a fire there, when she saw Granny Su coming, she quickly stood up, but she staggered a little because of her heavy body, Granny Su panicked, ran over in small steps, and shouted: "Oh, my Little ancestor, he is about to become a mother, why are you still so irritable." She supported Ayun to sit on the small stool next to her, feeling lingering fear.

Ayun's complexion also turned pale, and she said in a trembling voice: "Yes, it's because Ayun is too ignorant. The mother-in-law is here, is it..." She raised her face, looking at Granny Su with big black and white eyes.

Granny Su remembered what she was here for, and hurriedly took out some things from the small basket. A Yun looked at the needlework and cotton, and remembered what her mother-in-law said yesterday, as well as the enthusiastic help from her old man and Shan Lan, and felt in her heart. When it was hot, the eye sockets were slightly red.When Granny Su saw this, she felt anxious and hurriedly said: "Oh, look at you silly child, why are you crying? Are you feeling unwell? Tell Granny quickly, how about I go and invite Dr. Lin over?"

Seeing that she was in a hurry to call for someone, Ah Yun hurriedly said, "It's okay mother-in-law, I'm just happy. It's been a long time since no one has treated Ah Yun so well."

Grandma Su looked at her carefully for a while, and saw that her eyes were reddish, and she had no other symptoms, so she felt relieved and said, "Ah Yun, Grandma has an idea, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"Grandma has something to say, but it doesn't matter."

Grandma Su said: "Ah Yun, Grandma sees that you don't speak like a girl from our small family, and you came to live in our remote Sujia Village with your body pregnant. The reason is that you don't want to say that your mother-in-law will not force you, that is, your mother-in-law. Think about it, for a young woman like you who is pregnant and lives alone in this place with no walls and no courtyard, mother-in-law feels somewhat uneasy."

Ayun lowered her head and said nothing.

"The mother-in-law just thought, why don't you live with the mother-in-law before the child falls to the ground? Although the old woman is old and has little money, she can cook at least a little, and she can live at home. You don't have to work so hard to take care of your mother and son's food, ah, what do you think?"

Ayun looked at the empty room, stroked the child in her belly, and nodded slightly.Tears rolled in her eyes, she bit her lip, trying not to cry out, her mother-in-law has treated her so well, she can't let her old man worry anymore.

When it was cooler in the afternoon, under the instruction of Grandma Su, Shanlan moved the bamboo bed from Aunt Yun's house, washed it with well water in the yard, and then put it in the sun to dry. Sprinkled some insect repellent and mosquito repellent powder, and then moved into the bedroom, and placed it next to Grandma Su's bed, so that the small place seemed cramped.

Grandma Su smiled and said, "That's good. In this way, that little fellow Xiaoxi won't fall off the bed."

Ayun looked at the little baby in her mother-in-law's arms, with a strange light in her eyes, she said happily, "Grandma, this child is so handsome."

Granny Su's eyes were a little proud, like a child, "That's right, this is my Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi, learn to speak quickly, this is Aunt Yun, there is a baby in Aunt Yun's stomach, you can meet soon La."

Ayun looked at the little baby with good-looking eyebrows and looked down at her swollen belly, with a complicated expression on her face.Granny Su noticed her strangeness, and guessed in her heart that it might have something to do with the child's father, she comforted: "Ah Yun, the fault of the parents should not be blamed on the child. In any case, he is yours." child."

Ayun looked at her mother-in-law's gentle eyebrows and nodded slightly.

Yes, no matter how bad Lord Hou is, the child is innocent.She rubbed her stomach and murmured, come out earlier.

Come out and stay with me.

Here, when Lin Jingchu took the medicine box and wanted to go to Granny Su’s house to check on the baby’s condition, when he passed by the yard, he saw a shirtless man wearing only a pair of wide-leg pants, squatting in front of the wooden house repairing the fence, He wondered, when did people live in this wooden house?He looked at the lean but powerful back of the man, coughed, and asked: "My little brother, dare to ask, is there a new family here?"

The figure paused, then stood up, Lin Jingchu was startled, how could this figure be so familiar.But the man turned around, looked at him with a smile, and said loudly: "Doctor Lin, how are you?"

The corner of Lin Jingchu's mouth twitched, and he said flatly, "It's you."

Song Shanlan said: "It's me, why, who does Doctor Lin think?"

Lin Jingchu frowned slightly: "Why are you here? Whose yard is this?"

Song Shanlan leaned into Lin Jingchu, shook off the sweat on his body like a prank, like a big dog, seeing the man's delicate brows slightly frowned, he was full of satisfaction, alas, why does he like to bully him like this? ?

"This is Aunt Yun's yard. She just moved here. Now, at Grandma Su's house, where are you going with the medicine box?"

Lin Jingchu shook his clothes, as if he was shaking off Song Shanlan's sweat just now, and he said flatly, "I have something to do at Grandma Su's house."

Unexpectedly, Song Shanlan said pleasantly, "Are you here to see Xiaoxi?"

Lin Jingchu's eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly, "Xiaoxi?"

"That's right, Xiaoxi, that little guy who looks better than you." Song Shanlan couldn't help but say.Lin Jingchu's complexion changed, he flicked his sleeves, and went straight to the front yard, but Song Shanlan didn't realize what was wrong with what he just said, and still followed behind him with a smile, shouting, "Hey, walk slowly Son, wait for me."
