Five years later.

In the blink of an eye, the family has been living peacefully in Wutou Mountain for five years, and Shen Mubai has also perfectly transformed from a white and tender little ball into a delicate and delicate little boy.

Five-year-old children, when they are incomprehensible, look even more beautiful than girls from afar.

Especially those dark and clear eyes, as crystal clear as the dew of the March morning, and like the clear and clear Weibo rippling on the lake at night.

Especially when he speaks, he always habitually looks into the eyes of others and puts on the appearance of listening seriously. It's like a little adult.,It's always a good feeling.,I can't wait to rub it in my arms and hug it.。

Most of the rural people are simple-hearted, and the Shen family's neighborhood relationship in Wutou Mountain is also good. Almost all of the young and middle-aged people here have gone out to work or settle down, and most of the people who stay here are also elderly people.

It's rare to see such a cute child, everyone likes it very much, and usually gives it delicious food. Since settling down here, Shen Mubai has had a large group of countless "grandfathers" and "grandmothers".

The dilapidated old house has been renovated under the "rectification" of Grandpa Shen and Shen Anru.

The mottled walls have already been freshly painted, and the leaky roof has been patched up early. The two of them are people who can live, and they are ingenious. Grandpa Shen, as a former chef, is also very good at serving flowers and crops, the old man has planted a lot of flowers and plants around the house to take care of every day, and the once abandoned fields are now planted with vegetables and fruits.

At this moment, Shen Mubai was outside the house, looking at the seven-star ladybugs slowly crawling on the tomatoes and fruits in the field, Shen's mother had just cooked lunch, put down the spoon, extinguished the fire under the stove, and shouted at the door.

"Xiaobai, it's time to eat~"

As soon as he heard the meal, Shen Mubai immediately abandoned his new love Seven Star Ladybug and ran back to the house with his shoes in tow.

After all, nothing is more important to him than eating!

****

Speaking of which, when Shen Mubai was one year old, the father and daughter of the Shen family began to worry about the name of their grandson (son).

I also struggled with the dictionary that I had read several times for many days, but I finally got stuck. At that time, Shen Mubai was already able to stand and walk early, looking at his grandfather and mother's tangled appearance, he decisively moved his little hands and turned up the dictionary as if he was pretending to play.

finally pointed out the words "Mu" and "Bai", and Xiao Niyin emphasized seriously: "This and this!" ”

The big round eyes are as cute and clear as the round eyes of a ragdoll cat, but they inexplicably have to put on a stern and awe-inspiring expression on their little faces, which is simply cute Grandpa Shen and Mother Shen!

Grandpa Shen understood the meaning of his baby grandson, and chewed these two words carefully: "Mu Bai Mu Bai, there is the meaning of advocating high and honest, this name is not bad." ”

He lowered his head and looked at the child's expressionless face, but there was a faint look of expectation in his dark eyes, and he stroked his little head, and the grandfather of the Shen family showed a smile.

The two words pointed out so indiscriminately, the names taken out are so good, and the children in their own family are so different.

Grandpa Shen, who loves his grandson like his life, Mother Shen is not only not surprised at all, but very pleased.

"I never thought that your child would look at his own name at a young age, maybe it's a little prodigy, maybe it's a little prodigy, since you like it, then you will be called 'Mu Bai' in the future, Shen Mubai Shen Mubai, it's also good, and grandpa will call you 'Xiaobai' in the future."

So the name was decided by his grandfather Shen Mu, and since then he has affectionately called his grandson "Xiaobai".

Such a cute name like a kitten and a puppy made Shen Mubai endure and endure, and finally gave up when he saw the pampering eyes of his grandparents and grandparents.

*

Before Shen's mother's voice fell, Shen Mubai's small figure flashed in from behind the door.

Smelling the aroma of food in the air, the tip of his tongue subconsciously licked the corners of his mouth, although he still had a paralyzed expression, his eyes flashed with the different brilliance of a foodie's soul.

"Today's main dish is my mother's specialty, tomato beef stew."

Mother Shen was taking out the pickled cowpeas from the jar and putting them on a plate, and said with a slight smile when she heard the words: "Xiaobai's nose is still so sensitive, it really belongs to a puppy~ Go and bring the pickles to the table, it's time to start the meal." ”

Obediently, a stack of cowpeas in his mother's hand, turned back and took a few pairs of bowls and chopsticks, served rice to the two elders, smelling the strong fragrance, Shen Mubai's white and tender little face was serious and calm, but his body was very honest, and he had already impatiently moved the chopsticks in his hand to grab a piece of beef first.

The beef is made of beef brisket with more gluten and less fat, and the tomato is a fresh fruit grown in the field, which is pure and natural and pollution-free, and the taste is much better than that sold in the market.

A large plate of beef tomato was placed in the center of the table, steaming hot.

After the beef, green onions, ginger, garlic and star anise are stir-fried until fragrant, they are stewed with peeled tomatoes until soft. The meat is soft but not tenacious, sandwiched on the chopsticks, the rich, red sauce drip from top to bottom, "pop" down on the plate, the meat can still tremble slightly, even the transparent beef tendon veins can be seen clearly in the light, a bite down, mixed with tomato sweet and sour beef juice is full of mouth, fresh and smooth, juicy and delicious, not at all greasy.

It's so crispy that it melts in your mouth!

At this time, it is most suitable to accompany a mouthful of fragrant white rice.

This dish is an absolute rice killer!

Pickled cowpeas are also a side dish that goes well with rice, especially in this hot day, the cowpeas that have just been taken out of the jar are a little cold and sour.

Shen Mubai quickly eliminated the first bowl and prepared to start fighting the second and third bowls

This life of eating, drinking, and tasting is simply not too beautiful.

Seeing the rice in the pot being wiped out at the speed of light, Grandpa Shen and Mother Shen looked at each other and smiled: It's good to be able to eat, and it's a blessing to be able to eat.

After lunch, Shen's mother glanced at the wall clock, hurriedly brought up the work card, and hurriedly went out, if it was a little late, it would be late for work.

Grandpa Shen and Shen Mubai cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks together, and then went to the field to pick freshly ripe vegetables and fruits and put them in the basket. The fresh fruits and vegetables grown in their fields look shiny and smooth in the hot sun, revealing a green natural smell.

"Okay, these are enough first, now there are few people in the vegetable market, and they can't sell much, put them in a row, and wait for grandpa to carry them first."

Before he finished speaking, the basket full of melons, fruits and vegetables was suddenly lifted.

I saw Shen Mubai carrying the heavy back basket steadily. Obviously he is so small, half of his little head is buried under the back basket and can't come out, but he can carry it safely!

- Oh my God! The strength of my precious grandson is too inhuman!

Grandpa Shen was stunned in place for a moment, and immediately unloaded the back basket from Shen Mubai's back, and said again and again in fright: "Hurry up and put it down, how can a child carry such a heavy thing, Xiaobai can't mess around!" ”

"But it's not heavy, I can walk, grandpa, you're old, just carry it for me." Shen Mubai said without fluctuation, without any reluctance.

When Grandpa Shen heard this, he was both surprised and moved for a while, and he was in a mess.

To be honest, he and Shen Anru have long realized that their children are indeed extraordinary in all aspects.

When other people's children were babbling in July and August, Shen Mubai had already said fluently, "I'm hungry and want to eat soft-hearted eggs at night".

Obviously, he was going to go to kindergarten at the age of two or three, but this kid refused to go, and said something like "I'll go crazy with a group of drooling children", in order to show his determination to refuse, he was stunned to recite to Shen Anru the ninety-nine multiplication method that he would only learn in elementary school.

"To tell the truth, I heard Li Goudan, the second-grade student next door, memorize it countless times, and I only need to listen to it once and remember it." At that time, Shen Mubai said calmly.

There seemed to be mockery in his unwavering eyes, and he knew that his true temperament was not gentle, and he lacked patience, and he was most annoyed by all kinds of noisy crying and crying, so Shen Mubai said that he would not go to the kindergarten where the bear children gathered.

Because that place is nothing short of the end of the world for him!

Su's mother, Grandpa Su, was suddenly shocked by her son's (grandson's) amazing memory, although the child's previous expression of more extraordinary behaviors was not small, but this time the expression was more clear and intuitive.

The father and daughter suddenly discovered that there was a little genius in their home!

Grandpa Shen also felt his own sluggishness, when Xiaobai was only one year old, he was able to name himself, this is not what a genius is, not what a little prodigy is!

I didn't expect my words to come true at that time, but now it's too late to be happy, the surprise comes too quickly and catches people off guard!

"Since Xiaobai doesn't want to go, then let's not go, it's not compulsory education anyway, and it's not bad to have a relaxed childhood before going to elementary school!"

Shen's mother is very open to this, since her children are so smart, it doesn't matter much if she learns more and learns less.

In the world, happiness is the most important thing, and since Shen Mubai is unwilling, then she, as a mother, will not force it.

Shen Anru's life experience is not too good, so with her unrestrained nature as a child, she hopes that her children can have everything without regrets.

So Shen Mubai, who didn't go to kindergarten, every day, in addition to reading books at home, watching TV, chasing new anime, he would also go out for a walk.

He has a quiet temperament, and belongs to the kind of obedient child who can watch all day just by looking at the scenery, but he is full of energy, and many times he will accompany his grandfather to grow vegetables and fruits, and then pick some crops and sell them in the market.

The vegetable market is located in a small county town at the foot of Wutou Mountain, although it is not as modern as a big city, but the county town is much more lively than the rural areas in the mountains. It is very different from the quiet atmosphere on Aconitum Mountain, and even the surrounding air is full of lively people.

Shen Mubai, who was quite delicate-looking, walked closely behind Grandpa Shen, and as usual, attracted the attention of many passers-by along the way.

Although there are many children in the small county town, most of them are lively, naughty and active, and they make themselves dirty from time to time, which is completely different from Shen Mubai's white and clean appearance, and the latter also has a special and noble demeanor like a young master.

And the most important thing is that this child is so good-looking, even if it is a child star on TV, there are few who are so good-looking as him, and he does not look like a child born in a small county town at all, just like a young son from a rich family.

Walking on the road, it is simply a humanoid body with its own luminous special effects, which grabs the eyes of aunts and aunts all the time.

"Yo, whose child is this, he's really handsome. I've seen so many children, and this is the first one so beautiful. On the side of the road, a rickety old lady led a boy who seemed to be younger, and asked the aunt next to her curiously.

"Oh, this is the child of the Shen family, he looks good, right? Eldest sister, your grandson is also very cute, this is tender and tender, your son and daughter-in-law must be good-looking. The aunt said enthusiastically, seeing the little boy's white and tender cheeks, she couldn't help but reach out and want to pinch it.

Under the little boy's slightly curly short hair, there were a pair of timid, beautiful big eyes, and a trace of fear flashed in the dark and clear eyes, and when he saw someone stretching out his hand, he suddenly looked like a frightened rabbit, and his eyes were red and took a step back.

obviously looked very scared, but he refused to hide behind the old lady, and hid in the opposite direction.

Seeing this, the old lady immediately pulled the little boy back, and reprimanded him affectionately with a kind face: "I usually see that you are very lively, how old you are and afraid of people, hey, don't be surprised, my grandson, is just afraid of life." ”

"Hey, kid, I'm afraid it's normal." The aunt on the side waved her hand proudly and said, "Oh, I won't talk to you, I have to go to their house to buy vegetables, their fruits and vegetables are fresh, they taste better than those in the vegetable market, and the good ones are all picked up late." ”

"Hey, I'll go too, I'll go too, my kid has to eat tomato scrambled eggs today, their tomato is fresh, don't pick it all for me!"

The aunt and aunt went to buy vegetables as they spoke, leaving only the old lady who was still asking Shen Mubai about the situation, seemingly gently, but in fact very rudely, pulled the little boy over, pinched the tender flesh behind his neck with gloomy eyes, and glanced at it threateningly.

The latter bit his lower lip, his big eyes were full of tears, his throat emitted a slight sound similar to a small beast's whimper, and he was just about to bark his teeth to show his little tiger teeth, but he turned his head, but suddenly met Shen Mubai's cold gaze not far away.
