Two trees were planted on the plot in front of the Bai family's house, one was a grapefruit tree and the other was a plum tree, both of which were past the fruiting period at this time, leaving only dark green leaves.

A little land next to it was planted with some cucumber loofahs, and a few fast-ripening loofahs were hung. The grass on the ground is half yellow and half green, green leaves and withered grass are intertwined, and a few chickens are foraging inside.

The late autumn in the south is still full of green, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scenery in front of her, Bai Mingxuan fell into memory......

It was when Bai Mingxuan was five years old, she had just lost her father, and was taken back to the small mountain village by relatives from the urban village.

The grandmother, who had just experienced the pain of losing her child, held back her tears and held herself in her arms all the time, patting and coaxing patiently from day to night, until she fell asleep.

Since then, I have been living with my grandmother for more than ten years......

Thinking about it, before I knew it, tears had crawled all over my cheeks.

"Mingxuan!"

A call sounded behind him, which shocked Bai Mingxuan back to her senses, only to find that she had burst into tears, and hurriedly raised her hand to wipe it with her sleeve.

Looking back, it was an eight or nine-year-old girl with a ponytail, and the clothes she was wearing were much worse than Bai Mingxuan's.

At this time, his face was red and he was panting, and he looked like he had run all the way.

Bai Mingxuan knew from memory that this was a good playmate that the original owner used to play with, Chunhua.

So he hurriedly moved a stool out of the house and said, "Chunhua, don't worry, sit down and talk slowly." ”

Chunhua shook her head and said, "No, I ran out secretly, and I'll go back later." Bai Mingxuan still put down the stool after hearing this.

"Mingxuan, what's wrong? Why do your eyes get red? Seeing Bai Mingxuan's red eyes, Chunhua immediately asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's windy here, and I was blinded by the sand just now."

The innocent Chunhua believed this statement, thought of her intention, and hurriedly took out a small pear from her bosom and said:

"Mingxuan, the day before yesterday, I saw you rolling down the slope and fainted, worried that it was broken. I wanted to go to see you yesterday, but my aunt didn't allow me to go out, so I had to run out today. Here, this is the pear I picked up from the back mountain, it's sweet! ”

Chunhua's mother passed away not long after giving birth to her, and then her father married another one, this stepmother treats Chunhua very harshly, usually calls Chunhua as a person, beats and scolds at every turn, if you find Chunhua sneaking out of the door, you will inevitably be beaten when you go back. This pear must have been carefully hidden after she picked it up, but she was reluctant to eat it, so she kept it and gave it to herself.

Looking at Chunhua's clear eyes, Bai Mingxuan's nose was sour, she took the pear, and said, "Thank you, Chunhua." ”

Seeing that Bai Mingxuan took the pear, Chunhua smiled happily and said, "I have to go." Mingxuan, I'll come to see you when I'm free in the future. ”

"yes, okay." Bai Mingxuan sniffed, he was busy making money in his previous life and had no good friends, this was the first time he felt such an unreserved friendship, and he secretly decided in his heart that he must cherish it.

After seeing Chunhua leave, it didn't take long for Bai Minglan and the others to come back.

Bai Minglan and Bai Minghui both walked towards the house with baskets, and when they got closer, Bai Mingxuan found that Bai Minglan's basket was full of all kinds of wild vegetables, stacked neatly, while Bai Minghui's basket only had half a frame of wild vegetables, and they were all placed indiscriminately, and it was obvious that they were not tidyed.

"Xuanxuan, what about Weiwei?" As soon as she came back, Bai Minglan asked about her younger siblings.

"They...... They all went out to play. ”

Bai Minglan shook her head with a smile, and sighed helplessly: "These two naughty ones are running around every day!" ”

The two of them sat down in front of the house and began to clean up the wild vegetables they had dug today.

There are many types of wild vegetables, bitter herbs, mother-in-law, and some that Bai Mingxuan can't name, all of which are placed on the ground at this time, and the old leaves and rotten stems are selected and put back in the basket.

Bai Mingxuan saw it and also stepped forward to help.

The three of them worked together to clean all the wild vegetables in a while.

Due to being possessed and bowing his head for a long time, Bai Mingxuan's eyes suddenly turned black, dizzy, and almost fell.

Bai Minglan hurriedly stretched out her hand to support her, and said worriedly: "Xuanxuan, your body is not well, let's go to the bed and lie down and rest." ”

Bai Mingxuan stayed in place for a while, waited until the dizziness passed, nodded, and slowly walked towards the house.

As soon as she lay on the bed, Bai Mingxuan immediately fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already afternoon.

Bai Minglan was sitting at the door, embroidering a handkerchief stitch by stitch, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Bai Mingxuan getting out of bed, and hurriedly turned her head and said:

"Xuanxuan, are you up? Come out and wash your face, Daddy and they are coming back soon, Auntie, Aunt and Grandma are cooking dinner, and they will be able to finish the meal later. ”

After speaking, he turned his head and continued to embroider stitch by stitch.

Dinner was still the same as yesterday, but the stir-fried vegetables were replaced by wild vegetables dug today.

Bai Mingxuan took two and tasted them, they were bitter and a little salty, and they were really not delicious.

The Bai family's stir-fried dishes are all eaten tightly for the elders, and the juniors are not unedible, but if they eat too much, they will be said, so Bai Mingxuan will not eat it after tasting it, not to mention that it is not delicious.

After eating, everyone gossiped for a while, and then went about their own business.

Bai Mingxuan saw Bai Lao Niang walking towards the chicken pen, hurriedly followed, and when she saw that there was no one left and right, she whispered, "Grandma, I don't want to eat eggs." ”

Bai Lao Niang turned her head and saw that it was her granddaughter, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Why don't you want to eat eggs? ”

"Grandma, I'm ......"

Before she finished speaking, Bai Lao Niang hurriedly asked, "What?" Did your aunt say something sour in front of you? Ignore her, she can't say anything good out of her mouth! Grandma gives you food and you can eat it with confidence, I want to see who dares to stop it! ”

Eventually, the voice grew louder and louder, facing the room to the west, as if it was meant to be addressed to someone.

"No, no, grandma, it's me who doesn't want to eat ......" Bai Mingxuan was so anxious that she shook her head again and again.

The white lady patted her, "Ouch, grandma's good granddaughter!" Grandma knows that you are taking care of your younger brothers and sisters, they are just greedy, don't pay attention to them! Your body is not yet well, Dr. Wang said, you should eat more good supplements, the family is poor, you can only eat an egg every day, don't be embarrassed! It's good to eat it! Listen to grandma and eat eggs well! ”

Looking at Bai Lao Niang's loving gaze, Bai Mingxuan had no choice but to nod: "Well, thank you, grandma!" ”

"My own people, say thank you! Go back to your room and go to bed! Bai Lao Niang pushed Bai Mingxuan back in disgust.

So, for the next seven days, Bai Mingxuan ate an egg every morning. Dow didn't dare to say anything anymore, just rolled her eyes behind the crowd, but no one paid attention to her.

In the past few days, Chunhua has only come once, and Bai Mingxuan can't help but be a little worried about what happened, but she didn't dare to go to her.

Eating well and sleeping well, Bai Mingxuan's body is getting better and better.

In the afternoon of this day, Dr. Wang came to check the pulse, and after a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Well, the body is already well." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Bai thanked her happily and sent Dr. Wang out. Turning back, he smiled and said, "This time it's thanks to Dr. Wang."
