Chapter 176: Nectar
Inside, Su Ying had already called the two of them to have a snack, that is, lunch.
Xiao Yu walked a few steps with her little short legs to keep up with Brother Jun, and said indifferently: "What's the matter, I have to change it if I get dirty." ”
When the two stepped into the hall door, they saw Xiao Yifei coming out, picking up Xiao Yu with a smile and leading Brother Jun to the table.
Brother Jun said, "I'll take Ah Yu to wash my hands first." ”
The meal was already on the table, a large crockpot of milky fish soup, a plate of steamed mushroom patties, a toon omelette, and a plate of verdant wild vegetables.
The main dish is a large pot of fragrant white rice.
Brother Jun, as usual, scooped a bowl of soup for each of the people, and Xiao Yifei put the meal on the table. Seeing that Xiao Yu was eating well, the three of them kept putting vegetables on her. Su Ying sandwiched a chopstick meatloaf for Brother Jun, and said with a smile: "Don't just give Ah Yu vegetables, Brother Jun should also eat more." ”
After lunch, after sitting for a while, Jun Ge'er and Xiao Yu walked around the yard and took a nap.
In the afternoon, we read together.
Because Daqi's characters are more complicated than the traditional characters in Xiao Yu's previous life, she has a preconceived idea of the foundation of simplified characters, and she is slow to recognize. But Brother Jun is a very fast learner, and he is simply a genius. Fortunately, Xiao Yu is still young, and Su Ying and Xiao Yifei are already surprised that she recognizes more than a dozen words every day.
Neither Jun Ge'er nor Xiao Yu were literate before.
A few times, Xiao Yu saw Brother Jun writing and painting on the sand with Qingshan, who was studying in the village, so he mentioned it to his mother Su Ying.
Su Ying remembered that she should send Brother Jun to school.
Brother Jun refused to let the Xiao family spend money to send him to study, so Xiao Yifei asked people to buy enlightenment books from the town and come back to teach him personally.
Xiao Yu found an opportunity and shouted to study together, how could Xiao Yifei not allow it? Nature teaches together.
In the afternoon, the yard was bright and sunny, and although it was a little hot, it was still cool in the shade of the trees. Brother Xiao Yujun sat on a stone bench and practiced calligraphy.
Xiao Yu saw a new word, leaned over and asked Brother Jun: "How do you pronounce this word?" ”
Brother Jun turned his head and glanced at it, told Xiao Yu how to read it, and explained the meaning of the words in detail. Xiao Yu nodded and wrote it down, but there was some grief in his heart. Unexpectedly, with her adult mind, she needed a newly literate boy to teach her to recognize words.
Xiao Yifei and Su Ying saw two little heads together in front of the hospital to read carefully, and looked at each other and smiled.
After a while, Brother Jun saw that the booklet in front of Xiao Yu hadn't turned the page for a long time. When I looked up, the little girl was in a daze again.
Brother Jun said: "Ah Yu, if you're tired, let's go play for a while." ”
Xiao Yu came back to his senses, blinked, and said, "Okay." At that moment, I went to the edge of the courtyard to see the newly planted vermilion red.
There are already several flowers on the turquoise stems. Xiao Yu looked at the pleasing flowers, and then turned his head to look at Brother Jun.
He was concentrating on writing.
Xiao Yu admires Brother Jun very much, and it is rare for a six-year-old baby to be able to sit patiently for an hour to read and write.
The day passed quickly.
At night, there is a sound of frogs outside the window, and if you listen carefully, you can also find insects chirping under the root of the wall. Su Ying told Jun Ge'er and Xiao Yu the story and sent the two back to the room.
That's right, the two little babies live together.
There were two small beds opposite each other in the room, and the moonlight poured in from the window. It's quiet. Su Ying covered both of them with a quilt and blew out the candle.
After Su Ying left, Brother Jun was still silently reciting and sometimes reading it out softly.
Xiao Yu was used to hearing it, and he didn't feel sleepy at this time, so he poked his little head out of the gauze tent: "Brother Jun, will you go to the top exam in the future?" ”
Brother Jun paused slightly, and asked softly, "Did you make a noise?" ”
Xiao Yu shook his head: "No, I'm not sleepy yet." Why don't you let your mother send you to school? ”
These words should not be said by a two-year-old girl, but Brother Jun is just a six-year-old child. Nothing unusual was noted.
Brother Jun paused for a moment and said, "No, my father-in-law taught me very well." ”
Seeing that Xiao Yu's little head nodded hard, he was reluctant to go back to sleep in the tent. Brother Jun said softly: "Ah Yu, hurry up and go to sleep, wait a minute, I won't be able to get up tomorrow morning." ”
Xiao Yu obediently put his head back into the tent, listened to the lively frog chirping outside, and slowly fell asleep.
The morning light was bright, Xiao Yu opened his eyes, through the soft gauze tent. Seeing that the sun has shone into the pane, it is sunny again today.
Xiao Yu's small body stretched out in the thin quilt, rolled again, and then slowly got up.
The gauze tent on the opposite bed has been picked up with a hook, and the quilt is neat, and it seems that Brother Jun has already gotten up again.
Xiao Yu knelt on the blanket, folded the light quilt in three or two clicks, climbed out of bed and walked outside the house.
It turned out that it was not early, and I didn't see Brother Jun, and I didn't know what to do.
Su Ying came out just when she saw Xiao Yu standing in the hall, and said with a smile: "Ah Yu is up, wait a minute, my mother will go and fetch water for you to wash." ”
Xiao Yu said sweetly: "Okay, thank you, mother." ”
After washing his face and rinsing his mouth with green salt, Xiao Yu wiped off the water stains on his little face with a handkerchief, and found that there was no one in the yard, so he asked Su Ying, who came up with breakfast, "Mother, where did Brother Jun go?" ”
Su Ying stroked Xiao Yu's somewhat unkempt hair, and smiled slightly: "I will call my brother in the future." I heard that there is a beekeeper in the village who is chasing flowers in the Yang family's lychee forest, and your father and Brother Jun have come early in the morning, maybe Ah Yu will be able to eat honey later. ”
Nowadays, honey is a precious thing.
Xiao Yu didn't expect that someone was already raising bees, so he sat down at the table and said, "Brother Jun doesn't take me with you, how early and late will they go?" ”
Su Ying tried the hot and cold of the porridge and said, "I went there just after dawn, and I'll be back soon." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Brother Jun coming in, he was carefully holding a thin porcelain bowl in his hand, and Xiao Yifei carried a small clay pot and walked behind.
Xiao Yu immediately stopped the spoon in his hand and said softly, "Brother, Daddy, you are back." ”
Brother Jun handed over the porcelain bowl: "Ah Yu, you try this." Xiao Yifei also smiled and put the crockpot on the table and asked Su Ying to eat honey.
Xiao Yu took the bowl and saw that there was only a shallow half bowl inside, similar to clear water, and a few small white crumbs.
Shouldn't honey be yellow? Is this water-washed? Isn't that little crumb beeswax?
Xiao Yu took a sip, sweet and fragrant, with the rich fragrance of lychee flowers. She wondered, it tasted great, but it didn't feel like honey.
"This is lychee honey?" Su Ying next to her asked first.
"No, it's the dew of the lychee flower." Xiao Yifei smiled and shook his head, explaining.
Now the lychee flowers are in full bloom. In the early morning, when the morning sun had just dried the morning dew, there was still a little nectar in the flowers, and the beekeeper sometimes took a large plate with a shallow bottom, put it under the flower branches that were in full bloom, and then shook the flower branches, and the honeydew secreted by the flowers was sprinkled on the plate.
You only need to shake so many dozen branches, and you can get the small half bowl of nectar in Xiao Yu's hand, and the white crumbs on it are actually the petals of lychee flowers.
Xiao Yu quickly finished eating the nectar, and had breakfast, and Brother Jun was literate, and after watching it for a while, he was somehow a little sleepy, and his little head was little by little.
was in a daze, Xiao Yu heard Banxia say at the door of the study: "Girl, the flowers have been planted." (To be continued.) )
