Be nice, my baby

Chapter 6

"Good boy, is Wan Zai still awake?" Old man Li asked loudly as he unloaded his burden outside the door.

"Just woke up, Daddy Li, you're back!" Liu Qiang walked out holding Li Wan who was still sleepy.

"Good boy, will Daddy Li take you to the town to play tomorrow?" Old man Li asked.

"Yeah, okay, let's go to the town to play! Take Brother Wan with you!" Liu Qiang said happily.

Old man Li responded with a smile, "As long as you can wake up in the morning!"

Old man Li makes straw weaves or baskets every day, and picks them up to sell in the vegetable market in the town. The vegetable farmers will transport the vegetables to the town at two or three o'clock in the morning, and sell them to the hawkers who set up stalls in the vegetable market all the year round. Most people buy vegetables from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in the morning, and most of Mr. Li’s things are sold during this time period. When the market is less crowded, he will go to the street. When the farming is busy, it is collected at noon.In this way, after preparing food the night before, it is time to get up at four o'clock in the night, and it takes more than an hour to walk to the town.

"Daddy!" Li Wan rubbed her eyes, then woke up, saw someone familiar, called out, and stretched out her arms to hug him.

"Good boy, go and play by yourself, there are tomatoes in the basket, take it and eat it yourself!" Old man Li happily took Li Wan, weighed it up and down, making Li Wan giggle.

Liu Qiang was not polite to old man Li, he rummaged through the basket, and found a few small and shriveled tomatoes, which were picked up by peddlers from the vegetable farmers who left late, and old man Li took a couple of them. A straw weaving was replaced.

"Daddy, Daddy, are you home?" Li Xiaojun, Li's second son who just turned five years old, called outside.

Liu Qiang frowned, and hid the tomato again.

"Xiao Jun, what's the matter?" Old man Li asked loudly as he went out holding Li Wan.

"My dad asked me to call you and our family for dinner!" Li Xiaojun responded, twisting his body and getting into Old Man Li's room, rummaging through Old Man Li's burden anxiously.

Old man Li couldn't understand Li Xiaojun's appearance the most, but he couldn't say anything, so he turned Li Wan and hugged him, "We, Wanzi, don't be like your cousin..."

"What are you doing?" Liu Qiang pushed Li Xiaojun unhappily. If he asked him to find out the things, let alone himself, Li Wan wouldn't be able to taste anything.

"Go away, this belongs to my father!" Li Xiaojun shouted bluntly, grabbed a tomato and stuffed it into his mouth without washing it, and grabbed another tomato in his hand.

"Good boy, you eat it too!" Old man Li came in and shouted.

Liu Qiang snatched two of them without hesitation, went to the kitchen, poured water out, washed them thoroughly, and shook off the water droplets, "Brother Wan, here you are!"

Li Wan kicked her legs, and old man Li squatted down and put Li Wan on the ground.

"Jun, you go and play for a while, daddy will go over as soon as he collects the things!" Old man Li shouted.

Li Xiaojun responded, found nothing else in the basket, and ran out with his legs swung.

"Eat, eat, strong brother!" Li Wan shouted happily.

Liu Qiang grabbed Li Wan's hand, bit open a small hole in the tomato, and fed it to Li Wan's mouth.

Tomatoes are still a rarity this month. Even when they are ripe, not many people grow them in this small mountain village. Even if they are planted, most of them are planted in the yard to satisfy children's hunger.

Li Wan gnawed indiscriminately, and the juice flowed out, but not much went into his mouth.

Liu Qiang took Li Wan to the kitchen, wiped Li Wan's face with a towel, sat on a small stool with his arms around him, snatched the rotten tomato from Li Wan's hand, bit a small piece and fed it to Li Wan's mouth .

Li Wan finally ate it in his stomach, and jumped up and down happily.

Li's second child is considered filial, and he never forgets to ask Li Laoto to eat with him if he cooks something good at home.

Today, his family's big yellow dog caught a pheasant in the field, and Mrs. Li peeled some potatoes and stewed them. The smell of roasted chicken with potatoes filled the yard.

The second brother Li went to the wine maker in the village to buy half a catty of wine and came back, and had a drink with old man Li.

After Li's second wife ate by herself, she mixed half a bowl of rice with chicken soup, and fed Li Wan in twos and threes, "Xiaojun, take your brother Wan to play for a while!"

"I don't, I don't want to play with children!" Li Xiaojun said vaguely, holding a chicken thigh with oil all over his face and hands.

"Go, you are not a child! Take Wan brother to play in the yard for a while!" Li's second wife gave Li Xiaojun angrily.

"Let's go, Xiaowan!" Li Xiaojun shouted loudly, and ran out first.

Li Wan Dian followed, but there was no sign of Li Xiaojun outside...

After Liu Qiang had dinner, he pestered Liu Ma to tell her to wake him up tomorrow morning.

Mama Liu was tired all day, she answered impatiently while tidying up the bowls and chopsticks.

"Huh! Why does it seem that Brother Wan is crying?" Liu Qiang asked suddenly.

Mama Liu kept her hands on her hands and listened carefully, "I didn't hear that!"

Liu Qiang jumped up and ran out.

Sure enough, Li Wan was wiping his eyes on the road outside, with tears and snot all over the place.

"Brother Wan, what's wrong with you? Where's Daddy Li?" Liu Qiang hugged him distressedly, and walked quickly towards the house.

"Hey, what's wrong with Li Wan?" Lao Liu, who was sorting out the farm tools for tomorrow in the yard, asked in surprise.

Mama Liu came out wiping her hands, "Why do you say your ears are so sharp that you didn't even hear your dad outside..."

Liu Qiang and Liu Ma poured out half a basin of hot water and saw that there was no clean place on Li Wan's body, so they simply took a bath for Li Wan, and took a piece of clothes that Liu Qiang wore not too small for Li Wan to wrap up.

"Oh, how did you do this?" Mama Liu carefully cleaned the scratches on Li Wan's legs and arms, and then found some red medicine and wiped it on.

"There are stones..." Li Wan said, twitching in Liu Qiang's arms.

"Okay, okay, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it won't hurt anymore!" Liu Qiang softly coaxed Li Wan while blowing on the wound.

"Drink..." Li Wan narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice.

"Mom, pour me a bowl of tea!" Liu Qiang shouted to the outside.

Mama Liu hurriedly put the basin away, and quickly stepped in to serve the two little ancestors...

When old man Li had a good drink and was about to go back, he found out that Li Wan was gone. He asked Li Xiaojun but he didn't know, so he panicked.

"Didn't I tell you to take my younger brother to play well..." Li's second wife scolded Li Xiaojun angrily.

"Okay, go out and look for it, ask around to see if anyone has seen Li Wan..." Second Li shouted loudly.

A few people hurriedly separated to find out...
