Chapter Twenty-Six: Picnic

The next day, early in the morning, Yan Yan and Yan Feng got up, dressed, washed, and after breakfast, they began to read and write their homework under the greeting of their mother-in-law Zou.

When this was done, it was just nine o'clock.

Well, it's still early.

Sister Yan Feng is a master who can't stay at home, she gave Yan Yan an order, don't run around. I went up to the yard above (we call it Gaotou Yard) and went to play with Sister Fang above.

Yan Yan didn't go with him for two reasons.

First, my sister didn't want her to follow. Yan Yan actually understands her very well in this regard.

Whoever is 365 days a year, being followed and pestered every day will be bored.

Second, of course, Yan Yan also has some arrangements.

She's ready to go see her Grandpa Sugar.

Come to think of it, I haven't visited the lonely old man for a few days.

Yes, Grandpa Sugar is in my heart, he is lonely.

Because he always lived alone in that solitary courtyard.

Even if he takes pleasure in tending to flowers and trees every day, and his life is full, he is lonely in my heart.

In this regard, my feelings of gratitude to him added a touch of distress.

When Yan Yan jumped in front of Grandpa Sugar's courtyard, she was so moved that she almost cried.

I saw that the courtyard door of Grandpa Sugar's house was wide open, and the scene of 'a hundred flowers blooming' inside was unobstructed in front of me, full of spring.

From the gate of the courtyard to the beam of the house, there are orchids, melon leaf chrysanthemums, camellias, daisies, begonias and so on.

But the spectacular scenery in front of her was far less than Grandpa Sugar's actions, which made her more excited and happy.

Let's understand that Grandpa Sugar's house usually has a closed courtyard door, as if he refuses to meet guests, ruthlessly.

Like today, it is absolutely: if something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

However, at the moment, this demon is here.

Thinking of this, Yan Yan secretly grinned his lips, and already had the answer in his heart.

Without saying a word, she stood on tiptoe and walked towards the small courtyard.

I didn't want to, but before I got to the middle of the courtyard, I was discovered.

"Tsk, I thought Xiao Yanwa, you forgot to have an old man like me!"

"Hee-hee, no, no! You're my grandfather! ”

Hearing this, Yan Yan immediately showed an embarrassed and polite smile.

Since her own grandfather is gone, she has treated Grandpa Sugar as her own grandfather.

No, maybe from the moment Grandpa Sugar rescued her, he was destined to be the grandfather of her heart.

"Hmph, you still know that I'm your grandfather, so why don't you come to see me for a few days."

The old man is still arrogant.

Yan Yan supported her forehead, how did she think that Grandpa Sugar had not seen him for a few days, and he was becoming more and more squeamish.

Delusions, delusions, all delusions.

But no, at this moment of silence, Yan Yan saw that Grandpa Tang's face seemed to be about to stiffen, so she hurriedly said.

"That, no, grandpa. Of course I want to see you! Well, I wasn't reading a book a few days ago, so I didn't have time. ”

It didn't feel like a reason but an excuse, she blinked, and continued.

"But, not anymore! I must have come to see you more often. ”

"Haha, okay. Grandpa got it. The little girl's mouth is so sweet. ”

"Hey, hey."

Yan Yan licked the corners of her mouth and smiled.

She knew that Grandpa Sugar was going to test her to identify the flowers and plants in the courtyard again.

Sure enough, in the next second, I heard his mellow voice, fluttering.

"Come on, little Yanwa. Let Grandpa see if you have forgotten what I taught you. ”

As he spoke, Grandpa Sugar pointed casually, but his eyes did not leave Yan Yan's body.

With such a deliberate hint, how could Yan Yan disappoint him.

She glanced at it and blurted out.

"Camellia."

With his pointing, Yan Yan easily called out those well-known and unknown plants.

"Jian Nanchun."

"Orchid"

"Daisy"

"Begonia"

......

"Haha, that's good. is worthy of my little granddaughter Xiao Yanwa. ”

"Huh."

Seeing that Grandpa Sugar had a posture of smiling from ear to ear, Yan Yan was just smiling silently.

Suddenly, Grandpa Sugar smiled and said Xiao Yanwa wait a minute. So he turned and went back to the house.

Although Yan Yan didn't understand what she meant, she was not in a hurry, she stepped under the huge green jujube tree and watched silently.

Originally, after the baptism of winter, the leaves of the jujube tree have fallen off, but now it has gradually grown with emerald green shoots under the care of spring.

Yan Yan stared at the green light dotted like stars, which became more and more transparent in the sun, and she couldn't help but raise her right hand and open it, wanting to touch its beauty.

But as soon as her idea came to her, she was brutally shot and shattered by reality.

"Hey, Xiao Yanwa is still too young now. Look, you can't even touch the branches that hang down more than a meter above the ground. ”

“......”

People who were still praising themselves just now are starting to dislike themselves now?

Yan Yan looked back sadly at her sugar grandfather.

But the moment she made eye contact, she smiled.

The disgust just now must be an illusion, no, it's an illusion!

Laughing a little silly. Old Man Han thought silently.

Yes, the person who was called 'Grandpa Sugar' by Yan Yan was actually surnamed Han.

Not only that, but he is not a lonely old man, and he can't be called it.

for he had a son and a daughter. The son now has a successful career and a happy family. And although his daughter is also married, she is also filial and often comes back to visit him.

His son and daughter-in-law also wanted to take him to the city so that he could raise him. His daughter also agreed very much, and often persuaded him.

But he wouldn't!

He has been in the countryside for most of his life, and even if many of his former friends and lovers are gone, he can slowly remember them bit by bit through the familiar living environment.

Now that half of his body has stepped into the dirt, he only thinks about living a plain life while he can still take care of himself.

What's more, he, an old man, now has someone who is not a granddaughter, but more like a granddaughter, who often comes to visit him.

What else is he not satisfied with?

The hustle and bustle of the red dust is gone, and now it is true.

"Why are you stunned, grandpa has brought it out, and he doesn't take it! Do you want to be tired of grandpa? ”

"Give me all this?"

"Otherwise! Your grandfather and I don't eat this stuff! ”

So, I bought it for me. Yan Yan was proud in her heart.

I'll just say, grandpa loves me the most!

"Thank you Grandpa! Grandpa is so nice! ”

"Okay, let's stop grinding and try the candy that grandpa has picked for a long time! Let's see what you like to eat! ”

"Uh-huh. Like like, like. ”

Yan Yan opened his mouth to take the gummies that Old Man Han tore apart and fed, nodded, and couldn't stop rejoicing.

Good times together always fly by.

It was almost noon, Yan Yan declined Old Man Han's kindness to invite her to stay for lunch, and walked out of the Han family's courtyard.

On the way, she touched her purse stuffed with candy and sighed.

Fortunately, she was clever and said that she would go back to the past, otherwise her sugar grandfather would have to let her take the rest of the candy.

Although she likes to eat candy, if she has no bottom line, she feels that she will live up to his sugar grandfather's kindness to her.

It is a truth that people have no bottom line, and flowers have no roots.

The spring breeze is still blowing, and the ground is full of greenery.

Yan Yan looked at the green grass growing wildly on the ground, and his mood was surprisingly beautiful.

She hummed a catchy nursery rhyme and walked with a swagger.

I'm a stucco and have a strong skill in painting.

I'm going to paint that new house even more beautifully.

Painted the house, painted the walls, and the brushes flew busy.

Oops, my little nose has changed.

......

Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound, driving in the direction of Yan Yan.

She subconsciously walked towards the weeds on the side of the road.

In front of him was a small car, driving slowly, Yan Yan didn't know this kind of car, but felt that the car looked very expensive.

She couldn't help but look back in the direction the car had left, the direction she had just walked.

This seems to be just an indifferent passing behavior, and Yan Yan doesn't care.

She continued to hum the song and walked towards the house.

It's just that the song has become "Little White Rabbit"

The little white rabbit obediently opened the door.

Hurry up, I'm coming in.

If you don't open it, you can't open it, your mother didn't come back, and you can't open the door.

The little white rabbit obediently opened the door.

Mommy is back, I'm coming in.

Hurry open, open quickly, mom is back, I'm going to open the door.

......

This is what her mother taught her at the beginning, and now she can already hear it, but she can't sing to her for a while.

Yan Yan returned home and stayed for a while, before her sister Yan Feng came back like the wind.

In the kitchen, her mother-in-law, Zou, was cooking on the fire as always.

Yan Yan, who knew that she couldn't help at the moment, didn't go to the kitchen like her sister to help.

Instead, sit on the threshold, staring at the spring light outside, in a daze.

After lunch, Yan Yan's life was still not peaceful.

At the moment when her mother-in-law Zou was bored and went to the back room to take a nap, Xu Jiayue and his party happily went to the door.

At such a moment, Yan Yan eats like usual, and there is no wave in his heart.

For as long as she can remember, they have not stopped calling friends.

And her sister is even more at all, and she has never been absent.

Unless, she really can't go to the appointment, otherwise, there is no surprise, she is with her.

On this trip, Xu Jiayue wanted to go to the high-head courtyard and engage in a picnic.

Picnic? What is it for? Yan Yan came into contact with this new word for the first time, and felt very novel and excited.

She couldn't wait to follow them to the high-head courtyard, the bamboo forest.

As far as the eye can see, there are rocks, weeds, and wild bamboos.

Is this here to blow the southeast and northwest winds? It's really blowing in the wilderness! Yan Yan was disappointed.

And he stood aside and let them tinker.

She watched Xu Jiayue find a flat stone and asked people to take out everything and put it away. Then he walked to the side and took out a knife, cut off a small bamboo, and cut it into a few bamboo tubes and a few pairs of chopsticks.

There is water in the mountains, and the water is clear.

Someone offered to wash the bamboo tubes and chopsticks, but Xu Jiayue acquiesced.

Yan Yan saw her sister skillfully open the baggage, and there was a big iron lunch box inside, and she took out glutinous rice, peanuts, peas, mushrooms, carrots, and even bacon and sausage grains from it.

Naturally, things are not something that can be taken out by the family, it must be secretly taken out from home.

Yan Yan thought so.

She saw Xu Jialan come back with a lot of firewood, she was going to light the fire. She thought with a little shame.

She could naturally see that many of those materials had been processed.

Without waiting for her to think about it, the washer returned.

She silently came to them and helped load the things into the bamboo tubes.

After a while, Xu Jiayue's side had already raised the fire.

Somebody came over and took the stuff, put it on the shelf, and barbecued it.

Xu Jiayue is not idle, no, it should be that no one other than Yan Yan is idle.

One of them lit the fire, and the two helped flip it.

The rest of the people are making up something again.

And they dug a pit on the slope of the earth, and it looked like an earthen stove.

Clay stove? And you want to burn the fire? What to cook?
