A cicada chirps to awaken people's memories of summer.

The breeze caressed the green treetops, and the scorching sun basked the stagnant water on the ground.

In summer, there are many nights of rain, and the morning after a night of heavy rain brings the freshness and coolness that is unique to summer, which makes people feel refreshed.

The jade seedlings in the field had grown more than a foot high, and began to grow corn cobs the size of a shuttle, and the people looked at the situation in the field, and smiled toothlessly.

"This year's corn is exceptional!"

"Yes! When it rains at night, the corn is well hydrated, and when the time comes, it will be as sweet as honey! ”

One or two sentences of dialogue, conveying the unique joy of the croppers, all year round, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, no big wishes, just to be fed and clothed, and a fat pig can be killed and eaten during the New Year.

The small courtyard of the Wu family is as calm and warm as ever.

"Tang Bao, what do you want to do today?"

Eating breakfast, Xia Mei put a chopstick dish into Tang Bao's bowl and asked with interest.

Because of Tang Bao's rest on January 2, Xia Mei wanted to accompany Tang Bao very much, thinking that now that Wen Xi had been with her for a year, she could do things on her own, and no matter how bad it was, wouldn't there be Mu San, and it would be no problem to hand over the dishes to him.

So Xia Mei also gave herself a holiday, and on the two days when Tang Bao was resting, the family rested together and enjoyed a comfortable time.

Sensing the faint, persistent gaze of the person next to him, he went back and forth between his bowl and plate, obviously hinting, Xia Mei was speechless, and also put a chopstick into his bowl, giving him a blank look.

Only then did he look at Tang Bao, who was biting the head of his chopsticks and thinking carefully, and waited for him to give an answer.

Tang Bao thought for a while before he said, "I want to go to the mountains!"

This answer was obviously beyond Xia Mei's expectations.

So she asked in surprise, "In the mountains?" How did you come up with the idea of going to the mountains? You're so young, it's dangerous in the mountains! ”

Tang Bao explained: "Mother, the master said that a gentleman should be like an orchid, noble and elegant, elegant and quiet, and not confused by the world. Don't suffer from the seven feelings! ”

"So, Tang Bao wants to go to the mountains to see what a real gentleman is like!"

Xia Mei: "......"

She was speechless.

This master is really ...... Traditional. It's all about spiritual stuff.

But Xia Mei can't say that the master is wrong, otherwise, Tang Bao won't believe the master's words, and what should he do if he doesn't listen to the teachings in the future.

So Xia Mei could only purse her lips and swallow what she complained. Said euphemistically: "Tang Bao...... This master is right, it is not easy to be a gentleman, so orchids are precious, they can be found not ordinary, and they must have fate. ”

Tang Bao was a little disappointed, then cheered up again, and said confidently: "Tang Bao is not afraid!" Tang Bao believes in himself! ”

Xia Mei shook her head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

It's really self-inflicted, if she didn't ask at first, Tang Bao wouldn't have proposed to go to the mountains.

Right now, I can only think about how to take care of Tang Bao in the mountains!

Wu Song was a good wife and slave in ancient times. Naturally, what the lady said, it was what it was, so Xia Mei said that he was going to take Tang Bao to the mountains, he turned around and went to pack his things, without the slightest surprise, which made Xia Mei stunned.

"Isn't this person against me?!"

Without getting the expected response, Xia Mei shook her head, gave up her doubts, and began to prepare a lunch box.

Thinking about the mountains, don't make meaty dishes. So as not to attract carnivores, Xia Mei planned to make rice balls, cold bean sprouts, and mash meat and mashed potatoes to make pancakes.

Very simple meals. It will be made quickly, and then put a fruit in the bento box as a dessert after a meal, so don't be too moisturizing on a small day!

This bento box, three times larger than Tang Bao, was specially made by Wu Song. It's for days like today.

"That's it! Let's go, let's go! ”

With an order, Tang Bao took the order and ran out for a long distance, and he couldn't stop at all.

Wu Song took Xia Mei's hand and followed slowly behind.

To tell the truth, in this mountain, most of the places Wu Song can walk with his eyes closed, and the familiar ones are the same as his own back garden, so he is very confident in taking care of Tang Bao and his wife.

The three of them walked into the mountain forest behind the house, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and as soon as they came in, the scorching sun outside could not shine in at all, and it was very cool inside.

"Wow! What a big silkworm moult! ”

Since entering the mountains and forests, Tang Bao has been excited, running everywhere, Wu Song asked Da Hei to follow him closely, although Da Hei is arrogant and indifferent and arrogant, probably because of Xiao Erhei, he is very good to Tang Bao, and at the moment he is also trotting behind him, and he also pees from time to time to mark his territory.

"Daddy, mother! Look if this is an orchid?! ”

When Xia Mei heard this, she hurriedly walked over to take a look, but it was another flower that she couldn't name, so she chuckled and shook her head: "No, orchids are generally white, and this one is pink."

was denied, Tang Bao was a little disappointed, and then put it aside and continued to explore.

The husband and wife followed behind, talking about love, talking about love, and from time to time paying attention to the one person and one dog who were happy, this is the periphery of the forest, and there is no danger.

However, orchids grow in the mountains, and today Tang Bao is afraid that he will return empty-handed.

Xia Mei, who was already hopeless, didn't look carefully, and began to look for other things that she needed.

I thought about it for a while, and found that there was nothing missing at the moment, general crops, everyone has them, that is, potatoes, she has them, and the seasonings, peppercorns, peppers, and peppers are all original here.

In this way, Xia Mei felt that she didn't need anything for the time being.

So he accompanied Tang Bao around, and called over to eat the lunch.

I found a flat piece of land, spread a cloth, and sat down to eat.

This kind of Japanese feeling is quite fresh, Xia Mei thought to herself.

In her previous life, Xia Mei had never done this, it was really boring, seeing that others were all a family, she was very envious and eager in her heart, and now, she finally got her wish.

Tang Bao only felt fresh, this was the first time for this kind of thing, so he felt that the food was very delicious, and he ate it with relish, and said to Xia Mei: "Mother! Let's cook rice balls for Tang Bao in the future! It's delicious! ”

Xia Mei chuckled and said, "You kid, you don't want to eat such expensive bread yet, you have to eat this white rice ball."

Tang Bao wrinkled his nose cutely and said, "No...... If you eat it every day, you will feel that it is not delicious. ”

Xia Mei was right to think about it, and only by eating it could she keep up with the nutrition.

So in the future, in order to make a love bento for Tang Bao to replenish energy, Xia Mei researched countless novel snacks, not to mention it for the time being.

ate the bento and accompanied Tang Bao for a while. Wu Song also hunted a pheasant by the way and brought it back for dinner.

Not long after, Xia Mei summoned Tang Bao back and prepared to go down the mountain. Tang Bao was a little unwilling, he was coquettish and didn't want to leave, and finally Xia Mei warned with a cold face, and if he left again, he would go into the depths. It's very dangerous, Tang Bao has to give up.

I went home dejected.

Wu Song couldn't bear to look at Tang Bao's appearance, went home and cleaned up the pheasant, and casually told Xia Mei: "I'll go out for a while."

He left the house in a hurry.

Xia Mei was busy cleaning up the chicken soup, so she just nodded perfunctorily and continued the movements in her hands.

But until the chicken in the pot was boiled and the chicken soup was full of chicken fat, Wu Song hadn't come back yet.

Outside, the sky was already dark, the night sky was full of stars, and the moon was bright and white. The view is exceptional.

It's just that Xia Mei didn't have the heart to enjoy the beautiful scenery at the moment, standing in front of the door, looking anxiously into the distance.

"Mother, hasn't Daddy come back yet?"

Tang Bao asked worriedly, Xia Mei glanced at him, and smiled reluctantly: "It's almost there, it should be delayed for a while."

appeased Tang Bao, but Xia Mei herself became more and more worried.

"Where did this man go at night?!"

Finally, just when Xia Mei couldn't help but go to find someone. Wu Song's figure only appeared outside the door.

"Lady, I'm back, I'm worried about you. It's the husband's fault......"

As soon as he came back, Wu Song saw Xia Mei's face that was about to cry, and his heart hurt, so he hurriedly stepped forward to coax him, and the worry of the night only broke out at this moment.

"You man! Why don't you say what you're doing? Do you know how worried people are about you?! ”

The angry Xia Mei loudly rebuked Wu Song. Wu Song knew that he was at a loss, he coaxed hard, and his attitude of admitting his mistakes was extremely correct, Xia Mei roared for a while, he couldn't breathe, and he was also considerate to Shun Shun.

Xia Mei felt that she had punched the cotton, and it had no effect, so she had to sigh helplessly.

"Forget it, remember that there will be no next time."

Wu Song's eyes flashed with relief, and there was a smile on his lips, and he said in a low voice: "Xie Niangzi forgive ......"

Xia Mei glanced at him angrily and said, "Say, why did you go!"

Wu Song smiled mysteriously, and suddenly called up Tang Bao outside the house.

Tang Bao walked in, only to see his expressionless father, with a "bad intentions" smile on his face, and he didn't feel that he had taken two steps back.

"Daddy...... Daddy, what's the matter with you? ”

Wu Song followed Xia Mei's example, took out the small cloth bag hidden, and opened it carefully, revealing a small, cyan seedling.

"Dangdang! See! Do you like it?! ”

Xia Mei, who deliberately imitated, successfully teased the two of them, rolling around on the ground with laughter, which was really funny.

A trace of chagrin flashed in Wu Song's eyes, and he wanted to save his image, so he coughed lightly twice and said with a straight face: "Tang Bao, this is the orchid you want."

The laughter suddenly stopped, as if someone had choked it, and it was extremely weird.

Reacting, the two immediately got together, opened their eyes wide and asked incredulously, "This is the orchid??"

Wu Song nodded and explained: "I saw it not long ago, but today I remembered it and went to find it back......"

So this orchid was watched with great interest, Xia Mei also looked at this seedling with great interest, she had only seen the blooming orchid, this kind of unflowered green seedling, but she had never seen it.

However, judging from the leaves, it was somewhat similar to the kind she had seen.

"Daddy, how do you know this is an orchid?"

Wu Song smiled faintly and said, "Master has seen orchids before, so he recognizes them."

Tang Bao nodded, and Xia Mei smiled: "Since Daddy specially found it for you, then you can plant it well and cultivate it carefully, you know?"

Tang Bao responded happily, threw himself into Wu Song's arms and said sweetly: "Thank you, Daddy!"

Tang Bao was so coquettish, it was the first time for Wu Song, so there was a moment of stiffness, and some shy love appeared in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Tang Bao likes it."

Xia Mei's eyes suddenly swelled up with some wetness, this person really regarded Tang Bao as his own son......

sniffed, tried to hold back the love in his eyes, and said with a chuckle: "Okay Tang Bao, go and plant it!" lest we lose spirituality. ”

When Tang Bao heard this, he hurriedly ran out with Xiao Qingmiao, Wu Song watched his little body leave his arms, and his heart was a little reluctant.

Xia Mei pulled Wu Song to the table and sat down, "Husband, sit down and rest, eat." ”

lowered his head and said apologetically: "Husband...... I'm sorry...... I'm wrong about you. ”

Wu Song looked back at her, his eyes were full of lingering affection, and the threads were entangled in Xia Mei's heart.

"Ladies don't have to be so sad, we are husband and wife, and tolerating each other is."

Xia Mei pursed her lips and looked deeply into Wu Song's eyes, which was full of affection, such as drinking water, knowing the warmth and coldness.

…………

As the days passed, the weather became hotter and hotter.

The sound of cicadas is irritable, especially when the sun is shining, and the desperate call makes people feel irritable.

"Eh, it's hot, I can't stand it......"

Wen Xi lay on the table softly, fanning weakly with his little hands, and the wind that came over was hot.

Liu Quan poured water, also tired and sweaty, picked up the herbal tea boiled by Xia Mei on the table, and poured it down.

"Ah...... Comfortable! ”

Put down the bowl, wipe the sweat, turned to Xia Mei who was sitting behind him and said, "Mrs. Xia, this herbal tea is so comfortable to drink!"

When Xia Mei heard this, she glanced up at him and said with a smile: "Isn't it, this herbal tea is the most comfortable to drink in summer, but I'm worried that some people can't get used to it!"

Wen Hao chuckled and said: "The first time I drank it, I was a little unaccustomed to it, just drink it a few more times, those regular customers who come to our store, but they are all drinking this herbal tea, and they don't like it!"

Xia Mei thought for a while when she heard this, and said: "That is the case, then this recipe will be handed over to the restaurant we are working with, anyway, it is not a great thing, if you sell it well, you can also get some favors."

Although Wen Hao was a little reluctant in his heart, he sincerely admired Xia Mei, such a recipe was really domineering.

That's why Mrs. Xia has this strength.

Nodding his head to deal with the matter, Wen Hao stopped talking next to him, but was pulled by Han Bo, shook his head lightly, and had to look at this recipe distressedly, revealing it.

In fact, this herbal tea is also free in the restaurant, and Xia Mei herself didn't plan to use it to make money, so she gave it out at the moment, and there was no pressure in her heart.

But what she didn't expect was that the herbal tea recipe would spread from then on, and her reputation for generosity and selflessness would be born.

Xia Mei didn't want to give herself a good reputation, at the moment, she just wanted to eat a popsicle and have an air conditioner to relieve the suffocating heat.

On this day, Xia Mei watched the chickens in the backyard not lay eggs, and the chicks she bought a few months ago weighed only two or three catties now.

It's just that she hasn't raised it, and she doesn't know when the chickens will lay eggs, and she looks forward to the chickens laying eggs every day!

Occasionally, I rolled my eyes and saw that at the foot of the earthen wall, there were some thin, white lumps.

"Hey, what is this?"

PS: It's been a day off, I'm sorry for you...... (The full attendance is gone, and the heartache is overwhelming) (To be continued.) )
