Not long after the humid and annoying rainy season, the air is still full of moisture, but it is not as annoying as the rainy season, and the weather is gradually getting hotter, and it has a faint appearance of early summer.

The people of Taoxi Town also changed their ponchos and umbrellas to enjoy this rare sunny day, and the busy people working on the street came and went.

In order to make a living, the small people in the town have no leisure at any time, whether it is the rainy season or the sunny day, it is a habitual thing, but it is always better to encounter a sunny day than a continuous rainy day, so everyone's hurried face is also relieved by this fine weather.

A young man dressed in a cyan robe walked in from the entrance of the alley, holding a cloth bag containing pen and ink books in his arms, and his hair was tied up with a hairband of the same color, looking like a typical reader. The boy was about twelve or thirteen years old, and his figure was thin and tall because he was growing taller, with a straight back, and his eyes looked down slightly at the bluestone paved road to avoid tripping over the uneven road.

The weather is fine, even if it is inconvenient for the elderly in the osmanthus alley to go out, they are not willing to miss this rare spring light, let the children and grandchildren move a bench to sit in the alley at the door of the house, holding a pu fan in their hands, chatting while basking in the sun, talking about the naughty grandchildren at home or discussing the gossip they heard, and from time to time with a shake of the fan fan or raising it to block the dazzling sun.

The boy walked slowly into the alley, stopping from time to time to avoid the noisy children or the rushers.

"Yo, isn't this Zhiyu? Ahem, why did you come back so early today? An old man sitting at the door of his house chatting with others turned his head and was a little surprised to see him.

After a pause, the young man, Wang Zhiyu, turned around, saw that it was a familiar person, bowed his head slightly and replied politely: "Grandpa Lin, our master has something to do today, so we will leave school early." ”

"Oh, I see." The old man surnamed Lin nodded, didn't ask more, and waved the pu fan in his hand, "Then you can go back quickly, and talk again when you have time." ”

Wang Zhiyu's face was gentle, and he nodded and said, "Then I'll go first, the sun is big outside, don't bask in the sun." ”

Looking at his fading back, a hint of appreciation appeared in the old man's wrinkled eyes, who could not like such a child.

When he reached the door of a house at the end of the alley, he stopped and raised his hand and knocked on the door.

After waiting for a while, a young woman dressed plainly and neatly opened the door—if Bai Mingxuan saw it, she might recognize it as the generous woman who had spent three hundred dollars on wild raspberries that day.

When she opened the door and saw that it was him, the woman was stunned: "...... Son. ”

"Aunt Zhang, it's me." Wang Zhiyu nodded.

The woman, who was known as Aunt Zhang, came back to her senses, quickly stood up and let in, and then closed the door again.

Wang Zhiyu entered the house, looked around, and didn't see his grandfather's figure, "Aunt Zhang, where did my grandfather go?" ”

Aunt Zhang is a helper hired by the family, usually responsible for the food and housework of the grandparents and grandchildren in the family, and has been working here for several years.

There is no woman in the family, some things are always inconvenient, and the grandparents and grandchildren are not very good at housework and cooking, so they have to hire a woman to help, and they invited Aunt Zhang through the introduction, and she has seen her work neatly and neatly in a few years, and she is also a good person, so now the things at home are generally handed over to her to do.

"Oh, the master just went out, and he didn't say where he went." Aunt Zhang replied while sweeping the floor.

Wang Zhiyu nodded, put down the cloth bag, took out the pen and ink books inside, packed them up, and then opened a book, ready to do today's homework.

The desk is under the window, facing the corner of the courtyard, and looking out from the window, you can just see a clump of green bamboo in the corner of the yard, which is lush and green, full of vitality and thriving in the sun.

The flowers and plants in this yard were all cleaned up and planted by my grandfather, and it took him a lot of effort to take care of them on weekdays, so that there are different scenery of the four seasons in this yard.

Wang Zhiyu retracted his gaze, stood in front of the window, held a book, and read aloud the articles he had recently learned—the master had not yet taught them, they were all articles taught by his grandfather.

The voice of reading is clear and steady, with a hint of righteousness, "Ancient scholars must have teachers." Teachers, preaching and receiving karma to solve doubts. If a man is not born to know, how can he be free from confusion......"

The sound of books in front of the window, the breeze is blowing, the sun is shining on the window lattice, and a small piece of daylight shines on the corner of the desk. An energetic old man stood at the door of the study, looking at him reading in a daze, as if he was watching him read, and as if he was wandering to reminisce about the past.

After reading this article, Wang Zhiyu put down the book, turned his head, and saw his grandfather standing at the door, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly moved away from the chair, "Grandfather! ”

This old man is Wang Zhiyu's grandfather, because he is literate and proficient in poetry and books, others call him an old man. Now he is more than sixty years old, in good health, usually has no major problems, and his spirit is also very good, he has been dependent on his grandson for many years, in addition to teaching Wang Zhiyu homework, that is, fiddling with flowers and plants, going out to find old friends to drink and chat, this will just come back from the old friend's house.

Mr. Wang nodded and walked in with his hands behind his back, "Why did you come back today?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Zhiyu stood still, bowed his head slightly and replied, "Master has something to do today, let us get out of school early." ”

"Well, that's it." Mr. Wang nodded, looked at the desk, and then looked up at Wang Zhiyu, "What's the matter?" ”

"The master didn't say it, but I think it might be because of family matters."

"Oh? Why? ”

"The last time I went to the Master's house to give a New Year's gift, I heard that the Master and the Master seemed to be arguing, and later I also heard the Mountain Chief persuading the Master to ......."

Here, Mr. Wang is talking to his grandson about the school, and Aunt Zhang is also busy.

After sweeping the yard, he took out a shower from the corner, filled it with water, and watered the flowers and plants in the yard.

On sunny days, the flowers and plants in the yard are generally watered once a day. The sun was shining brightly on the plants in the yard, and the temperature was gradually getting higher in the afternoon, but it was not very hot yet, and the watering was appropriate at this time.

The water in the shower was poured down, and the watered branches and leaves were covered with droplets, glistening in the sun. A pot of water from the shower has just been watered, the shower is placed, and then a few pots of sun-resistant flowers are moved to a shading place under the eaves, and one side is damaged by the sun.

Dragged Mr. Wang's blessing, Aunt Zhang also learned some skills about serving flowers and plants, and even if the Wang family is not employed, she can go to a big family to be a florist in the future.

"Okay, since your master leaves school early, you can study hard at home." Mr. Wang waved his hand, asked Wang Zhiyu to continue his homework, and turned to go out.

When he went out, he saw Aunt Zhang carrying the flowers, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, and after the delicate flowers were placed, he turned his head and instructed Aunt Zhang: "Aunt Zhang, you go to make a few dim sums, no matter what it is, rice cakes or sugar soup, what materials to do, and wait for Zhiyu to eat when he is hungry from reading." ”

Aunt Zhang nodded, then got up to wash her hands and went to the kitchen to prepare.

There are flowers and trees in the yard, the study is neat and spacious, and there are people to take care of life and prepare food and snacks, which is a life that rural students dare not imagine.

It was also early summer, and life in Peach Blossom Village was not so comfortable.

The weather is getting hotter, and the air is humid, it is a little stuffy, and if you work hard during the day, you will sweat lightly, and Bai Mingxuan finally has to face the challenges of ancient life.
