The sun rises in the east, and Tongtong blurs a corner of the sky. The morning light shone on the earth, slowly dispersing the misty smoke in the mountain nest, awakening the long-sleeping creatures. The chirping of birds and the constant sound of apes make people outside the mountain feel quiet.

"Smack"

A few drops of dew formed a line and fell vertically from mid-air, impartially, and smashed right on the roof of a carriage that was shuttling through the dense forest.

The appearance of the carriage is not very luxurious, and at first glance, it can be regarded as the style of a middle-class family, but it can be compared with the goods bearer who is in a hurry on the side of the road, but it also looks rich.

In the carriage, the walls of the car are made of light blue cloth and covered with embroidered curls. Mrs. Shen Chen sat in the center, with the eldest son Shen Fu on the left and the youngest daughter Shen Xueru on the right.

Shen Fu was pampered, and he couldn't stand the pain of getting up early and being greedy for darkness, and when he got into the carriage at dawn, he kept his head against the window, drowsy. Maybe he had slept enough, but at this time, he suddenly opened his eyes, gently lifted the curtain of the car, and looked out with great interest.

The forest is not dense, and a few rays of sunlight shine on the trees, making the leaves shine like a layer of gold, so that people can't open their eyes.

Chen noticed Shen Fu's small movements, slowly withdrew his gaze from his daughter, and then looked at Shen Fu who was moving like a rabbit, and said, "Don't look around, there is still a way to go from your grandmother's house!" Chen reminded and admonished, "Last time at your grandmother's place, you and Yun Yatou had a very stiff quarrel, if you meet Yun Yatou again today, you have to apologize to others, otherwise, I will not spare you!" ”

Shen Fu listened casually, just nodding vigorously.

Chen knew that his left ear went in and out of his right ear, but he still kept nagging: "I also know that you are the most lively and active at this age, but you are not as active as at home, you should always be more restrained, and today when you go to your grandmother's house, you are not allowed to jump up and down and make a fuss!" ”

Shen Fu's young nature, he has long been fed up with his father and Xixi's training day and night, and it is difficult to get his grandmother's house to relax today, and he wanted to release his nature to the fullest.

Shen Xueru sat next to her, and when she saw that Shen Fu was reprimanded, she didn't say warm words to comfort her, but instead fell into the ground: "My brother is the most earless, my mother has been talking bitterly for a long time, and he may not be able to hear his heart, so it's better to go back and tell his father and let his father teach him!" ”

Hearing these unpleasant words, Shen Fu immediately glared at Shen Xueru, and then sat down sullenly, drooping his handsome face.

Shen Xueru was used to having trouble with her brother, and originally just wanted to take the opportunity to occupy the prestige of her mouth, but Shen Fu looked displeased. After calming down and thinking about it, the little girl didn't feel that she was wrong, so she turned her face away, twisted her eyebrows and didn't speak.

Chen's eyes were like torches, and he saw the mental process of his children clearly, but he refused to show favoritism easily, so he put on a straight face and pretended to be displeased: "If you two quarrel at home, forget it, if you go to your grandmother's house, you still mess like this, and don't let your mother worry, then the mother can't see it, she is not upset, and she will simply send the two of you home together to save trouble!" ”

"Mother!"

"Don't!"

Shen Fu and Shen Xueru were full of anxiety, and they invariably grabbed their mother's sleeves.

Chen saw that the two enemies were full of panic, and knew that the two were looking forward to going to their grandmother's house once a year, so they were in a hurry to scare the two of them, and it really worked.

"Okay, if the two of you promise your mother to be more peaceful along the way, then your mother will promise you two not to send you back!"

The two enemies glanced at each other hurriedly, although they were still unwilling and reluctant, but for the sake of the common purpose, they could only answer in unison: "Okay!" ”

Chen suddenly smiled, hugged his nine-year-old daughter with one hand, patted Shen Fu's hand with the other, and explained: "This is back to my grandmother's house, let alone a little and a half months, you two usually bully Qitang at home, my mother can turn a blind eye and don't worry about the two of you, but this is back to my grandmother, you can't be willful anymore, you must get along with your cousins and cousins, you can't just bully them casually because you are older than them, do you hear?" ”

Shen Xueru was tired of listening, and since she was five years old, almost every year on the way to her parents' house, she would hear Chen's earnest admonition. Right now, seeing Chen's old tune repeated, Xue Ru couldn't help but pout, and sighed: "My mother loves to turn her elbows outward, every time I have a dispute with my cousins, my mother always favors my cousins, and sometimes she helps her aunts, and she doesn't send her daughter in turn!" ”

Chen looked at her lovingly, "It's not that my mother doesn't want to help you, it's that you've gone too far, and my mother doesn't necessarily have to help her relatives." Besides, it was at your grandmother's house, and if your mother was too protective of you, your two aunts would be uncomfortable! ”

Shen Xueru is still young, it is the time of innocence and innocent thoughts, at this moment after listening to her mother's chattering advice, although she is not very happy in her heart, but after thinking about it, when she arrives at her grandmother's house later, she can be unrestrained, and she can't help but feel good.

Shen Fu sat under his mother's left shoulder, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of his sister Xueru's eyebrows curved like willows, her eyes were bright, and her bright eyes seemed to be radiating light, so he wrapped his hand around Chen's back and gently pushed his sister Xueru.

Xue Ru was fantasizing about the beautiful life in front of her, and she didn't guard against her brother's secret attack, so she couldn't avoid losing control of her body and swooping forward.

When she came back to her senses, Xue Ru immediately glared at her brother angrily and complained: "Mother, look at my brother, how old are they, and they are always so naughty!" ”

Chen smiled helplessly: "There is also a face to say that your brother, you yourself are not too young, don't you always make your mother angry?" ”

Shen Xueru saw that her mother not only did not protect her child, but also exposed her shortcomings in front of her brother, Huo Ran raised her neck, which was as white as jade, and pouted unconvinced, expressing her dissatisfaction, and then turned her face away, staring at the orange peel roof with resentment.

Chen saw that the little girl was very angry, and glared at Shen Fu with a tiger face. Shen Fu felt that he was wrong, and he blushed slightly and kept silent.

Towards noon, a few peasant households were resting in the ridges, wisps of cooking smoke were rising in the village, and many peasant women began to cook on the fire.

The carriage ran like an arrow, shuttling quickly through the country lanes.

After a bumpy ride of incense, he finally arrived at his destination at noon. Before I got out of the carriage, I saw two dogs barking and pounced.

Shen Fu felt very kind, smiled at the two family dogs, bowed like shrimp into the carriage, and rummaged through the packages he carried with him, grabbed a few meat buns left over from the morning, and threw them out through the window.

The two dogs were very clever, and when they heard some movement, they immediately stopped barking, lifted their hooves, and rushed towards the meat bags.

"Meat buns beat dogs - there is no return!" Xueru jumped directly from the three-foot-high wheel with her legs up, and then said without raising her head while arranging her beloved Biluo skirt: "Brother is also willing to give up!" ”

"For the sake of my sister, I have to be willing to give it up!" Shen Fu secretly glanced at Shen Xueru, and immediately smiled, "These two dogs bark non-stop, and when a clear-eyed person looks at it, he knows that they are extremely hungry, if it weren't for my urgency and wisdom, I gave up a few meat buns, I'm afraid you would still be scared right now!" ”

Xue Ru glanced at her brother angrily, lifted the corner of her skirt with her hand, took a few steps forward, and stood on the left and right of her mother Chen.

Chen was explaining the date of the return trip to the handlebar, and after a few words, he hurriedly led a pair of children to the door of the firewood.

Someone in the courtyard responded one after another. Soon, the two sides of the woodwood were opened, revealing the uneven ground of the courtyard and the rustic decoration.

Seeing that it was his niece Chen Yun who answered the door, Chen Shi hurriedly said, "Who should I be?" It turned out to be a girl! A polite sentence was given, and he praised again: "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, you are getting more and more profound, I'm afraid that in another two years, your mother should tell you about your family!" ”

Chen Yun's cheeks flushed when she heard this, she glanced at her cousin Shen Fu shyly, and hurriedly lowered her head again, not daring to answer her aunt's words.

Seeing that her face was flushed, and her eyes were shy and covered with a layer, and it was not easy to mention it in that direction immediately, so he changed his words and asked: "I heard that your house has been newly renovated, I don't know if the renovation is good, I have to go and see it the next day!" ”

Chen Yun's voice was weak, and she responded half-swallowing and half-spitting.

Chen was happy in his heart, and didn't care much about Chen Yun's subtle changes, just asked one question after another: "By the way, did you come with your mother today, or did you come alone?" ”

Chen Yun looked at her squarely and replied seriously: "My mother went to my uncle's house early in the morning, and at this hour, I haven't seen her come back, most of them want to stay there for dinner!" ”

"Hey, where's Xiao Kechang?" Before Chen finished speaking, he had already begun to search for his eyes, "Kechang is the cutest, this time, I can bring him a lot of fun!" ”

"My brother is clingy, and when he heard that his mother was going to his uncle, he cried and shouted that he was going to go too. My mother couldn't get rid of him, so she had to lead him along! ”

As she spoke, the aunt and nephew had already walked to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Chen's mother was immersed in chopping vegetables, and when she heard a lot of movement in the courtyard, she vaguely guessed that her daughter had come back from Changzhou County, so she smiled and washed her hands. Walked out with help, walked more than ten steps away, saw Chen's head combed with a fallen horse bun, wearing a water azure satin trimmed placket, and saw Shen Fu and Shen Xueru smiling, carrying a gift box in their hands, and couldn't help but smile.

Seeing that his mother was stunned, Chen hurriedly walked to the old man's house in three steps and two steps, and helped the old mother to stand still while shouting and asking for warmth.

Chen's mother observed her daughter up close, and saw that she was still full of face and looked the same as a few years ago, and she was relieved to know that she was doing well at her husband's house. Chen saw that his mother was pale and gray-haired, wrinkled, and couldn't stop grieving the passage of time.

The mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for many months, so naturally they had something to say, so after a few words of greeting in person, they quickly left arm-in-arm.

Shen Fu was out of his mother's sight, and it was rare to see his cousin Chen Yun once, so he happily followed Chen Yun's ass and asked, "Where is Sister Yun going?" ”

Chen Yun blushed and skillfully avoided Shen Fu's gaze, "It's rare for you to come back, most of you have to stay for a few days." Grandmother is now busy talking to my aunt, so naturally I don't have time to clean up the guest room for you, so I just have idle hand, so it's better to clean up the house while I have time, so as to save people tossing in the afternoon! ”

After Shen Fu listened, he didn't say anything outside: "Then I'll help Sister Yun clean up together!" ”

Chen Yun looked back at Shen Fu twice, and said secretly: "You are a rich son, you come to stretch out your hands for clothes, open your mouth for food, you usually don't worry about eating or drinking, you are rough, you are big-handed, you don't interfere in chores, and it's not a disservice to let you help!" ’

Although he thought so in his heart, Chen Yun raised his eyes and saw that Shen Fu's face was full of interest, and after all, he couldn't bear it in his heart, and led the person into the wing.

After entering the wing, Chen Yun didn't say a word, and immediately showed his hard-working virtues, cleaning the table and tidying up the mattress step by step.
