Seven-year-old Ning Jiashu sat in An Qingbao's pickup truck delivering vegetables, and he traveled all the way to a farm in the logistics department more than 300 kilometers away.

It was summer, and the fields were lush green.

The mountains are verdant, the trees are shady, and the black-tiled houses are hidden in the greenery.

A clear stream meanders past the stone pavement, and the water is murmuring.

In the pond there are large fields of lotus flowers, blooming in the bright sun, slim and beautiful, dragonflies hovering in the air, transparent wings shining in the sun.

Ning Jiashu rolled his dark eyes, attracted by the scenery in front of him, he couldn't see it, the resentment on the road just now was swept away, An Qingbao saw the excited light in his eyes, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

"Little Wu, this summer, you just stay at our house to play, and when school starts, your uncle will send you back, okay?"

Ning Jiashu blinked and nodded.

An Qingbao took Ning Jiashu along the stone road and walked around the entrance of the village, along the way, someone copied the dialect that Ning Jiashu did not understand and greeted An Qingbao, and the tone was very kind.

Ning Jiashu followed An Qingbao to the family yard of the farm, which was said to be a family yard, just built a low bungalow along the stream, planted a small square of self-reserved land in front of the house and behind the house, with some vegetables planted in it, and a loofah shed was built in the yard, and there were a lot of loofahs on the shelves.

An Qingbao led the Ning Jiashu into the house, Wu Yaohua was sweeping the floor in the house, looking at the child he was holding in his hand, a little surprised.

"The fifth child of the old chief's family, I brought him back for the summer vacation. His mother couldn't take care of him alone. An Qingbao said lightly

Wu Yaohua's face stiffened, a little ugly, she glanced at Ning Jiashu lightly, did not speak, and frowned.

An Qingbao didn't seem to notice her dissatisfaction, but turned her face and said to Ning Jiashu: "This is your Aunt Wu, what you want to eat and drink in the future, just tell Aunt Wu." ”

Ning Jiashu glanced at Wu Yaohua and nodded lightly.

An Qingbao suddenly remembered something again, and patted his head: "Oops, I almost forgot, and An Ge ......" He asked Wu Yaohua: "What about An Ge, let her come over to meet Brother Jiashu." ”

After speaking, he shouted a few times into the house, "Ange, there is a guest at home......

That was the first time Ning Jiashu saw An Ge, a small figure, with fine yellow hair, a thin little face and a pair of big eyes, was timidly hiding behind the pillar at the door, looking at him curiously, like a kitten.

……

Seven or eight years old is the age when cats and dogs are so naughty that cats and dogs dislike it, Ning Jiashu quickly left behind the anxiety of the newcomer, where the vast world, mountains and streams and fields, can let him play, fully release his excess energy.

Because he was a small guest, Wu Yaohua was just polite to him, in addition to taking care of his eating, drinking, and Lazar, he almost didn't care about him, An Qingbao was even more accustomed to him, every day after work, in addition to bringing some delicious and fun novelties to him, he would also take him and An Ge to play in the field.

An Qingbao taught him to swim, taught him how to catch small fish with loaches, taught him how to stick to flour, how to climb trees and dig birds' eggs, all these "dangerous actions" in Soho's eyes can be done here by An Qingbao, but the premise is to be with An Qingbao.

Maybe An Qingbao has always longed for a son in his bones, after giving birth to An Ge, Wu Yaohua has been in poor health, and An Qingbao refuses to let her have another child, and now Ning Jiashu's arrival just makes up for his regrets.

His care and care for Ning Jiashu was obviously higher than that of An Ge.

Wu Yaohua was very angry about his preference.

She was originally very unhappy about An Qingbao's decision to take Ning Jiashu home.

Although they have unique conditions in the farm, eating and drinking, etc., coupled with An Qingbao's diligence and ability, they have reclaimed the front and back of the house into their own land, and it is not a problem for the family to eat, but after all, the material conditions were scarce in those days, and the self-reserved land belonged to the tail of "capitalism", and the farm was not a paradise, so they could only secretly make some small moves, but An Qingbao not only sent some fresh vegetables and grain to the Ning family every month, but also brought their children back this time.

The little boy was young, mischievous and exercised, and ate a lot, enough to eat twice as much as An Ge, and that was a food stamp.

What's more, what is the situation of the Ning family now, no one in the entire military region knows, An Qingbao brought Ning Jiashu home, if someone denounces him, the family will be unlucky.

Therefore, Wu Yaohua's attitude towards Ning Jiashu can be described as not very enthusiastic, but because of his feelings, he barely took care of his food, drink and Lazar. 、

At dinner this time, An Qingbao put all the little shredded meat in the bowl into Ning Jiashu's bowl, and An Ge held the rice bowl and stared pitifully at the meat in his bowl and swallowed saliva.

Wu Yaohua looked distressed, and after dinner, An Qingbao muttered and complained in front of him: "How can he eat so much at such a young age, he has to eat several times as many times An Ge alone, even if he eats this vegetable, the food is not enough to eat." ”

He also said: "I think this Ning family is really big-hearted, and they actually send their children to our house, and they don't worry about causing trouble for others without saying anything, they think that now is still the time for them to be cadres...... I'm not afraid of implicating others and being unlucky. ”

An Qingbao's temper has always been good, in the past, Wu Yaohua complained and muttered anything in front of him, he didn't speak, "the east ear goes in and the west ear goes out", but he didn't give an inch in the treatment of Ning Jiashu.

Every time Wu Yaohua mentioned him, he got angry, "Wu Yaohua, if you don't care, don't care, I'll take this child to live in the field alone, and don't worry about eating, drinking, and Lazar." ”

"You are chattering crookedly all day long, what are you talking about, how old is this child, how much can he eat, how much can he drink? His mother can't take three children, so what's wrong with us just helping her take a summer vacation?"

"Also, what's wrong with me sending some fresh vegetables to the old chief's house every month? How much can I send? How much can we eat as a family of three? It's just vegetables grown in our own fields, and if we can't eat them at home, they don't rot in the ground? What if my own chickens lay eggs, so what if I give them a few to eat? If you can't eat you, you dare to take them out and sell them? I don't think you have the courage to speculate. ”

"The Ning family is not an official now, but you don't know who the old chief is? You don't know how he takes care of our family? If he hadn't arranged it well back then, do you think we would be able to live such a life in this paradise? And Ning Jiashu's affairs in our family, don't tell your brother, your brother ......" An Qingbao snorted and didn't speak, what he was most worried about was that Wu Yaohua told her brother about everything big and small.

"My brother is also for our good, if you report it, I think you can get away with it for a few days. Wu Yaohua has rarely seen An Qingbao have such a big temper, angry and anxious, annoyed and angry.

They quarreled in the house, but they didn't expect Ning Jiashu, who couldn't sleep, to hear the conversation between the two of them clearly in the courtyard.
