“...... You're welcome. ”

In the hall, the old lady smiled in response, put the cake aside, and put away the dishes on the table.

“...... Grandma, I'll help you collect it too. ”

The little girl watched her grandmother's movements, and also stood up, and said crisply,

"Okay, then grandma put away the dishes and plates, and Beibei will help grandma put away the chopsticks and bring them into the kitchen. ”

The old lady turned around, looked at her granddaughter, and said with a smile.

"Good!"

The little girl answered crisply, padding her feet, and putting away the chopsticks on the table,

The old lady smiled and looked at her granddaughter, then turned around, put away a few bowls, took the dishes, and looked into the kitchen.

The little girl pinched her chopsticks and followed her into the kitchen.

......

“...... Beibei's parents don't come back often, and there are no guests at home on weekdays, and this room is unoccupied for some time, and some dust has accumulated, so she simply swept it...... These quilt covers are freshly washed, don't dislike them, young man. ”

After cleaning up the dishes on the table, the old lady first took a broom and cleaned the bedroom next to her, and then took out the bed and laid the bedding from the other bedroom, and then led the way, and then walked into the bedroom.

"Excuse me, old man. ”

Walking into the bedroom, Lian Ge turned his gaze, looked at the old lady, and thanked him,

"You're welcome. The old lady waved her hand and said, "...... You should rest early, lad. Beibei and I live in the next room, and if anything happens, you shout, young man, and the old woman can hear it. ”

As she spoke, the old lady withdrew from the bedroom and closed the door.

......

“...... Squeak, squeak, squeak......"

In the house, when it was quiet again, the little mouse jumped off Lian Ge's shoulder, barked twice, and ran to the side.

Lian Ge glanced at the guinea pig, and then at the half-hidden window of the room,

Outside the window, it was still drizzling, and the rain was infecting the window, flowing down the window glass, and the fresh breeze with water vapor passed through the window from time to time and swept into the house.

With the breeze, the words in the next room also sounded in my ears,

......

“...... Beibei, you haven't fallen asleep yet, wait for grandma?"

“...... Grandma, I can't sleep a little......"

“...... What are you thinking? Miss Mom and Dad?"

“...... Hmmm......"

“...... Grandma, bring the phone to Beibei, and Beibei will call her parents. ”

“...... No more calling...... It's too late, Mom and Dad should have already slept...... Grandma, why can't mom and dad come back every day? ”

“...... Because, Mom and Dad need to work outside so that they can earn money, Beibei can study, have new clothes to wear, and have delicious food......"

“...... I don't want new clothes to wear...... Is it that when I have money in the future, my parents will be able to accompany me. ”

“...... When Beibei is older, Beibei's parents will be able to come back every day...... Beibei, it's okay, grandma is with you. ”

“...... Well...... Grandma, tell me a story. ”

“...... Okay, Beibei covers the quilt, and grandma will tell you a story......"

......

Listening to the words in the room on the other side with the breeze ringing in his ears, and then looking at the drizzle outside the window, Lian Ge turned around, approached the bed, and sat down cross-legged by the bed,

"Sleep. ”

Glancing at the little mouse curled up on his stomach on the side, Lian Ge withdrew his gaze, and with a wave of his hand, the lights in the room went out.

Closing his eyes, carrying the mana in his body, Lian Ge cultivated,

The words in the room on the other side still rang in my ears from time to time with the gust of breeze.

......

“...... And there was once upon a time in a col and there was a family ......."

“...... Is it like our family?"

“...... Yes, just like our family...... Beibei lie down ......"

“...... Mmmm, Grandma, go on. ”

“...... One day, the man in this family was busy in the back room, preparing to renovate the kitchen on the edge of the backyard, when suddenly he heard a knock on the door of the hall, so he quickly put down his things and went to open the door...... As a result, when I opened the door, I saw that outside the house, there was a sloppy Taoist priest, all dirty, looking at him with a smile and a groan, and he didn't speak. He was in a hurry to go back to clean up the kitchen, so he asked, asking if there was anything wrong with this Taoist priest. And the priest said, Ah, I want this master to give him a bowl of grain...... This master's family was also a zealous person, thinking that this monk wanted a bowl of grain, so he went to use a bowl for him and gave him a bowl of grain. This Taoist priest did not thank him for carrying the grain, and he stood in front of the door and did not leave. He asked again, and asked if there was anything else wrong with this Taoist priest, but this Taoist priest said, "Let this be given to the master's family, and give him a pair of shoes." The master looked at the priest's feet, and when he saw that the priest was barefoot, he went back to the bedroom, and went to get him a pair of shoes, and gave them to the priest, but the priest still stood in front of the door of the house and did not leave......

This time, without waiting for the master to ask, the Taoist priest said to let the master give him another piece of clothing. ”

“...... This Taoist priest is too much. ”

“...... The master's family, thinking, this monk, it is not easy to dress like this, so he went to the bedroom again and got an old dress for the Taoist priest...... Holding the old clothes, the owner was walking outside, and suddenly, behind the house, there was a rumbling sound......"

“...... What's the matter, grandma......"

“...... The kitchen at the back of the house collapsed......"

With the breeze, mixed with the sound of drizzle on the eaves tiles, the words of the old lady and the little girl sounded,

Outside, the night was getting darker, and the lights in the col and in several other houses were also extinguished one after another.

......

"Sassy ......"

"Tweet ......"

The breeze disturbed the branches and leaves of the mountains and forests on the hills not far away, and swept the wheat seedlings and rape in the fields behind the door.

The birds that leap under the branches and leaves of the forest make some cries,

With some fresh breeze of water vapor after the rain, through the half-hidden window, with the rising sun, swaying in the house,

Waking up from his sleep, Lian Ge opened his eyes, didn't stay in bed any longer, and got up from the bed.

“...... Squeak, squeak. ”

The mouse followed, re-onto Lian Ge's shoulder from the side, and called twice,

Glancing at the guinea pig, Lian Ge opened the bedroom door, moved his steps, and stepped out of the bedroom.

......

“...... Grandma, I'll pick ...... for you."

“...... Okay, then Beibei will pick these, and grandma will pick these......"

Outside the hall, in the courtyard, the voices of the old lady and the little girl sounded,

Moving his steps, Lian Ge walked out of the hall.

In the yard,

Under the eaves, on the steps of the courtyard, the old lady was sitting on the steps with a basket, and the little girl was squatting opposite the old lady.

In the basket, there are some mushrooms,

The old lady was simply pinching the roots of some mushrooms, tearing the larger ones into smaller ones, and the little girl squatted opposite the old lady and also helped.

Beside the two of them, under the eaves not far away, against the wall, there were two pairs of mud-stained boots, one pair of boots was slightly larger, and the other pair was slightly smaller.

“...... Young man, get up, why didn't you sleep any longer? ”

Hearing the movement, the old lady turned around, looked at Lian Ge, and greeted with a smile,

Lian Ge glanced at the old lady, shook his head slightly, didn't say anything, turned his gaze, and then looked at the old lady in the basket, the fungus,

“...... It rained a little bit last night, and it was really ...... This morning I took Beibei up the mountain and picked some casually, and that's all. ”

The old lady noticed Lian Ge's gaze, turned her head and looked at the mushrooms in the basket in her hand, and said with a smile.

"Old man, I don't know, can you give me some of these mushrooms?"

Glancing at the fungus in the basket again, Lian Ge walked towards the old lady and said in a calm tone.
