Peach Blossom Village.

It's spring, and the drizzle is lingering.

As the name suggests, the courtyards in front of the village and the surrounding mountains are full of pink peach blossoms, and in the early morning, the petals on the peach trees are stained with rain and dew, and the cold is still cold.

"The pond is full, the rain has stopped, and the mud on the edge of the field is full of loaches......"

In the field, a six- or seven-year-old boy rolled up his trouser legs, braving the drizzle, humming a little tune while burying his head in the muddy field to find something.

Beside him lay a bamboo basket with a dozen loaches bobbing around, and it was evident that the child had gotten up early in the morning and had gone out into the field to dig for them.

After a while, the child carefully threw the clay into the bamboo basket with a hand of soft clay, and then began to rummage through it.

"Shen Xiaolang, why did you come to the field early in the morning to look for loaches? It's still raining this day, hurry up and go back, or you will be scolded by your mother again in a while......"

On the Qianmo trail next to the field, a sturdy man wore a hat, a robe, and a hoe on his shoulder, smiling at Shen Xidao in the field.

Shen Xi straightened up, glanced at the man, lifted the bamboo basket and shook it in front of him, revealing a row of white and neat teeth, and said with a smile: "Uncle Liu, it's good to catch loaches when it's raining...... You see, I've gained a lot......"

Showing off, Shen Xi didn't pay attention to the man surnamed Liu, and began to dig up the mud seriously.

Shen Xi is not from here, to be precise, Shen Xi is not from this world, perhaps it is more consistent to summarize his situation in the past and present life.

In his previous life, Shen Xi was an orphan, and he knew the hardships and difficulties of life since he was a child, and he studied extremely hard, skipping grades from elementary school to high school. With the help of all walks of life, Shen Xi was admitted to Ludao University, a first-class university in China, at the age of sixteen, successfully stayed on as a lecturer after completing his doctoral studies, became an associate professor two years later because of his excellent work, and became a professor of archaeology in the Department of Chinese in less than five years.

During the work, Shen Xi also talked about several girlfriends, but because of his wide range of interests and hobbies, most of his salary was used to buy ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, and the four treasures of the study, no house and tickets, several relationships ended without a problem, and then invited by the Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics to guide the excavation of a newly discovered tomb in the suburbs of Quanzhou, the tomb built in the middle of the Ming Dynasty suddenly collapsed, unconscious, and then woke up into a child, in Peach Blossom Village.

Just as Shen Xi was looking for the cave between the ridges again, the man behind him let out another hearty laugh. Shen Xi looked up curiously, and saw a woman about twenty-three or four-year-old wearing a patched emerald shirt not far away, holding a handful of bamboo branches in her hand, running towards the field angrily, shouting loudly:

"You little rabbit cub, I just told you yesterday that you don't want to go to the field in the cold spring, and you ran out early this morning, and the words of the old lady are not successful?"

While speaking, the woman was already standing on the edge of the field, holding a bamboo whip and pointing at Shen Xi: "You roll up for the old lady, see if the old lady doesn't beat you a fool......"

"Alas, the lady of the Shen family, the child is still young, and it is normal to be playful, if you scare him so much, where is he willing to come up?"

When the woman saw the man talking, she snorted coldly, ignored it, crossed her waist, and said to Shen Xi in the field: "Little rabbit cub, there is a kind of don't come up...... During the harvest last autumn, you were bitten by a snake, and your mother kindly smeared medicine on you, do you know how expensive the medicine is? This time you are bitten by a snake again, look at the old lady who cares about you! ”

Shen Xi saw her fiery tone, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Mother, don't be angry, don't be angry, last time I accidentally used the snake as a loach, and I was bitten, do you think I'm not good now?" Don't be angry, if you hit me again, I'll be stupid by you! ”

When the woman saw Shen Xi's hippie smiling face, she immediately became angry, waved the bamboo whip in her hand, and said fiercely: "You little rabbit cub, aren't you afraid to fight......

Before she finished her words, Shen Xi hugged the bamboo basket, walked to the edge of the field with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and said flatteringly: "Mother, you see, let's keep the loaches in the house, won't there be a supper at night?" The family eats wild vegetables every day, and a bird fades out of its beak......"

Before Shen Xi's words were finished, the woman pulled him out of the field, looked at Shen Xi's appearance covered in mud, and suddenly became angry, raised the bamboo in her hand high, and was about to pull it down.

Where can Shen Xi be restrained? At the moment, ignoring the sludge on his body, he hugged the old lady before he was beaten, and shouted heartbreakingly:

"Ah...... It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it's dying, I'm going to die, don't fight, I know it's wrong, I know it's wrong, I don't dare next time. ”

When the woman heard this, the fierce expression between her eyebrows softened slightly, but she still whipped the bamboo on Shen Xi's little buttocks, but her strength was reduced by eight points.

Shen Xihan laughed, raised his head and held the bamboo basket, and handed it to the old lady: "Mother, look, there are a lot of loaches, fat and big, I ...... I didn't mean to disobey you, but I really ...... It's really my mother, you have coarse tea and light rice every day, so I came to improve your life by digging loaches. ”

Seeing Shen Xi like this, the woman snorted coldly and took the basket: "You want to eat it yourself, right?" You just changed your clothes yesterday, how dirty are they? Give the old lady back to change, and then dare to go to the field in the future, and the old lady will clean you up. ”

Shen Xi grinned and lifted her shoes, barefoot behind her, sometimes stepping on a pointed stone, she couldn't help but grin her teeth, looking pained.

Back at the home of the antique courtyard at the head of the village, in his own house in the front yard, Zhou cleaned up Shen Xi's dirty clothes, and saw Shen Xi's little face slightly red and shy, and his face was slightly horizontal at the moment: "Foolish, what are you ashamed of?" Even you were born by an old lady! ”

Shen Xi nodded again and again when he heard this, not daring to speak.

"Mother, you're alright!"

Shen Xi smiled flatteringly and patted the old lady's ass.

Zhou Shi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then looked at Shen Xi and sneered: "Han Wa'er, will you have a mouth to pee at such a young age?" ”

Shen Xi saw the disdainful look of the old lady, shook his head, and said in an extremely firm tone: "Mother, I don't have any flowers, I just think you're good." ”

"The old lady is fierce and evil, where is it?"

Zhou glared at Shen Xi, although there was no expression on his face, but his heart blossomed.

Shen Xi laughed, took Zhou's hand, and said in a pleading tone: "Mother, don't hide it, I smell it, it's so fragrant." ”

Zhou looked at Shen Xi and couldn't help laughing, and then snorted with a straight face: "You are not a dog, why is your nose so smart?" ”

With that, Zhou took out a hot egg from the small bag hanging at the head of the bed and handed it to Shen Xi.

Shen Xi looked at the egg, couldn't help swallowing greedily, took it, and said with a smile: "Mother, although you like to beat me, you can treat me well in your heart, my son I am magnanimous and will not hold grudges...... When you and your father are old, your son will support you, eat fragrant food and drink spicy food, and find an obedient little daughter-in-law for you to support. ”

Zhou chuckled: "Foolish, if you marry a daughter-in-law in the future, you will definitely forget your mother, look at your natural deception, don't be Chen Shimei." ”

The little hand felt the warmth of the egg, and Shen Xi smiled in his heart.

In his last life, he was abandoned since he was a child, and he never experienced what flesh and blood affection was, but although he was poor in this world, he at least had his father and mother, as well as his uncles and uncles. Some things are valuable, and some things are priceless, which Shen Xi clearly distinguished.

The only thing that made him feel helpless was that his possessed body was a little kid who was less than seven years old, and he had to pretend to be a seven-year-old child every day.

In this regard, Shen Xi did not dare to slack off.

He has been in this world for less than a year, and he doesn't know enough about folk customs and customs, maybe he will be a little more talented, and he will be misunderstood by the ghost and caught to soak in the pig cage.

Shen Xi was about to go out, but was grabbed by Zhou's little arm, and said with a straight face: "Go out after eating in the house, don't be seen." ”

"Ah...... Mother, did you steal the eggs? Shen Xi looked at the closed door and asked in a low voice.

Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then scolded fiercely: "Little rabbit, are you still not happy to find food for you?" If you don't eat it, give it back to the old lady......"

Shen Xi hurriedly tapped the egg on the edge of the bed, and peeled the eggshell extremely quickly.

Seeing Shen Xi casually throw the peeling eggshell on the ground, Zhou slapped his head again: "How many times have I told you, put away the eggshell and feed it to the pigs...... You little girl, my mother will never give you any more food, so as not to spoil good things. ”

Shen Xi looked at Zhou's who bent down to pick up the eggshells on the ground, a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly grabbed her hand and said, "Mother, eggshells can't be eaten." ”

"I didn't eat it, are your kid's ears bad? I fed this thing to the pigs, and the pigs grew up very quickly after eating it......"

Shen Xi shook his head, squatted down, handed the half-peeled egg to Zhou's mouth, and said with a smile: "Mother, you can also take a bite." ”

Zhou was slightly stunned when he heard this, looked up at Shen Xi, who was innocent in his eyes, and was about to teach him a lesson, but heard Shen Xi continue: "Mother, you always lie to people, I saw you eating eggshells with my own eyes last time...... Come, you take a bite ......"

Zhou raised his hand, touched his somewhat sour nose, lightly took a small bite on the egg, and then choked up: "Okay, eat quickly." ”

Shen Xi saw that the old lady had bitten like a mosquito, sighed in his heart, didn't say more, opened his mouth and took a big bite, chewing hard, as if venting something.

"Mother...... Don't worry, I will definitely get ahead in the future and let you live in the best house and eat the best meals. Shen Xi ate the eggs, and his tone was vague.

Zhou touched Shen Xi's little head, and let out a long breath, but sneered in his mouth: "Little baby, you know to provoke the old lady, see if the old lady doesn't beat you to death one day." ”

Shen Xi smiled when he heard this, and was about to speak, but he heard a knock on the door, and then a woman said outside: "Sister, can my sister-in-law come in?" ”

Zhou hurriedly kicked the eggshell on the ground under the bed a few times, but saw the door squeak open, and a woman a few years older than Shen Xi's old lady walked in from outside.

"Ah, it smells so good...... It turns out that Xiaolang is eating eggs, is it delicious? ”

Shen Xi licked his lips and said with a smile: "It's delicious, the eldest aunt came to find my mother?" ”

"When I saw the eggs, I remembered that the old hens in the family had laid significantly fewer eggs recently...... Sister: Where did this egg come from? The woman ignored Shen Xi and asked Zhou with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhou glanced at Shen Xi's aunt Wang lightly, and said coldly: "There is a fixed number of eggs at home every day, if there is really a shortage, my mother may have already informed each room...... This egg was sent back by the child's father in the county seat. ”

Wang smiled, and his tone was a little blameful: "Sister, we are not separated, my uncle sent eggs, why haven't I seen them?" Didn't my sister hide secretly? ”

Zhou's temper was very hot, but at this time she was still much more restrained, stood up and took a slight breath, and replied in a somewhat tough tone: "Sister-in-law, you are the daughter of a scholarly family, and you must not worry about these trivial things with your sister, right?" ”
