Peach blossom outside bamboo

After coming out of the house, a reclining chair had already been set up in the yard. Xia Silang carefully placed his youngest son on the chair, and Liansheng immediately covered him with a thick coat as a blanket.

"This kid has been ill for so long. If you say that he has something wrong, how can I be a father...it's all my fault..." During the speech, two lines of tears welled up in my eyes.Xia Mu was tightly hugged by Lian Sheng again.

"Why are you bringing this up again?! You didn't do it on purpose back then, how can you be blamed?!"

Xia Mu didn't know what happened back then, he and Liansheng were close together, Liansheng cried out loudly, and the tears flowed down his neck and back.The warm tears seemed to make him feel a scalding pain, and his heart was churning.

These days, this little man named Liansheng would hug him and coax him, wipe his face and feet, and hum to him at night to lull him to sleep, although these things are things he doesn't really want now, But he still feels about it.He didn't know what his mother was like. He once felt from the book that mother was synonymous with tenderness, warmth and love.In this way, the skinny man in front of me is undoubtedly a qualified 'mother'...

"Father, don't cry!!" Xia Mu sighed in his heart, feeling sore and dull in his chest.When he really didn't want to live in this unusual world at first, he wondered if he would return to the original world if he died here.He couldn't imagine that one day he would get married and have children... But because of some people and some things, he hesitated!

Not to mention whether you can go back or not, even if you go back, so what? !He didn't do well in that world, he had no relatives, and his so-called friends weren't very close.He is a loner, poor, helpless, and does not have much hope for the future.But Xia Xiaoshan's family here moved and warmed him.Liansheng's warm tears were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and his defenses began to burst...

"...San'er..."

Liansheng was stunned at first, but since Xiaosan fell ill, he has hardly opened his mouth a few times.Suddenly calling him "Abba", he still couldn't react, until a thin hand gently wiped away the tears on his face, he felt sore in his heart, as if he had a premonition, the tears were even worse. Surging out, holding Xia Mu and crying loudly.

Perhaps, from this moment on, Xia Mu has to be called Xia Xiaoshan!

Xia Xiaoshan was also crying, probably because her body was still young, the tears flowed easily, Liansheng hugged him and cried, but in the end he cried endlessly...

In the end, because of her young age and weak body, Xiaosan fell asleep in Liansheng's arms when she was tired from crying.Xia Silang comforted Liansheng, who had red and swollen eyes, and carried Xiaosan back to the room after sleeping.During these days when his third child was sick, he was also heartbroken. He did farm work day and night, helped the villagers do some small jobs, and had the cheek to ask neighbors to borrow money for the money for the soup. Some people in the village said that his family Xiaosan was dragged away by the mountain god and couldn't come back, so she might as well be sent to the temple.But as long as my child is panting, he can't just leave it alone.Today Xiaosan called out that sound of "Abba", which made the father Xia Silang faintly feel that the child San'er finally came back...

Xiaosan slept for a long time as soon as he fell asleep. During this time, he seemed to be fed and ate in a daze, but he was very sleepy, and he just swallowed something instinctively.He wasn't fully awake until the light began to change.When I opened my eyes, I saw a seven or eight-year-old child lying beside the bed.That's Xiaosan's second brother, Huzi.Huzi was weaving something with a few long blades of grass, when he saw Xiaosan looking at him with round eyes, he immediately grinned, showing his white front teeth.

"Second brother will make up a grasshopper for you to play with, okay?!"

The mistress who was lying on the bed heard a black thread, and she was about to be a third person, and she really had no interest in children's toys like straw grasshoppers.But you can see the arms that are as thin as a matchstick without looking down. Thinking that Xiaosan is only six years old now, and seeing the sparkling eyes of the child opposite him staring at him.He nodded under a black thread.

"Oh~ I knew it, San'er likes the grasshopper made by the second brother the most! I didn't give it to you if you asked for it before! This time, I specially found green palm leaves to make for you because of your illness. ! This must be the most beautiful grasshopper here!!" The child raised his head and chest proudly.

Xiao San couldn't help crying and laughing when he heard that.But he didn't expect that the child's craftsmanship was really good.The grasshopper made out of palm leaves is as big as half of Xiaosan's palm, very delicate and vivid.Let Xiaosan, an 'adult', also be attracted tightly.On the grasshopper's back was a strand of thread pulled from a brown leaf, and when it was held in the hand, the grasshopper could hop and hop like a living thing.This thing can definitely be called a handicraft, and it can be sold at a good price on the street stall!

"What are you doing, Tiger?! Are you teasing your younger brother again?!! If you make me cry again, be careful with your skin!!" Liansheng saw his second son dancing by the bed as soon as he entered the room, and immediately lectured, His second son has a bad record of bullying the third son many times, and he often makes the third son cry loudly if he doesn't pay attention. "Go, help your brother clear the table!"

Farmers eat their dinner before dark so that they can tidy up the house with a little peripheral vision, and they will naturally go to bed when it is completely dark.Dinner is also the time when the family gets together the most. Xia Silang returns home from the field, and Shi Shi, who helps other people herd cattle, often enters the house with his father.Huzi is a bit naughty and likes to play around crazy, but he will definitely go home during meal time!Liansheng saw that Xiao San's spirit was much better than before, so he dressed him and carried him to the yard to prepare for dinner.Two vegetarian dishes and a pot of brown rice were placed on the table.The quality of life in this family is really not very good, with yellow brown rice and big bowls of dark vegetables.The bowls are brownish-red stoneware, and the teapot on the table looks like porcelain, but it is obviously old, with some cracks on the spout and a missing lid.Of course, when it comes to a teapot, it is usually only responsible for holding cold boiled water, and Xia Silang's family can't afford tea.

Liansheng was busy making meals for several people, Shi Shi took the opportunity to touch Xiao San's head, and smiled honestly at Xiao San.The weather was hot, so the family ate directly in the yard.The small families in the countryside don't pay much attention to their meals, and each of them is talking while eating.Huzi is the most noisy one, he is not big, but his voice overwhelms everyone, and he is talking about him fishing for shrimps with cow eggs.Xiaosan was still sitting limply in Liansheng's arms. Even though he wanted to sit up with his small body, which had been ill for more than half a month, he couldn't sit up.He rejected Liansheng's plan to feed him, and slowly took out the soup with a wooden spoon.

Liansheng specially cooked a small bowl of noodle soup for him, using white noodles with an egg boiled in it.From Xiaosan's point of view, the taste was really not that good, but when he saw the food in other people's bowls, in comparison, he couldn't express any opinions at all.Although both are children of the family, Shitou and Huzi ate rough meals with the adults.Huzi is still young, sometimes when he looks into Xiaosan's bowl, he can clearly see the envy in his eyes and the slobber at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't ask for it, he just swallowed his saliva and said loudly, he He defeated someone again today! !

The family was poor, but not saddened by it.The food on the table was not delicious, but the diners all ate leisurely and felt satisfied. The family of five sat in the courtyard at dusk and ate lively.It is obviously a simple house and poor food, but it makes Xiaosan feel infinitely beautiful in his heart...
