Chapter Twenty-Five: A Distant Guest

This morning is so different, and the new year is full of anticipation and yearning.

The winter sun rarely hangs in the sky, shining warmly on people's bodies.

Early in the morning, Aunt Xiaoyun went out to buy dishes for lunch, and heard that a guest would come to the house to celebrate New Year's Day together.

Shi Shu did not go with her, but chose to be at home.

Shi Shu picked out all kinds of fresh and tender vegetables from the small garden, connected a large basin full of water in the kitchen, and carried it to the yard with Uncle Lin Yu.

The bright green vegetables became clean in Shi Shu's hands, and Qiu Huan lay next to the chair to bask in the sun and enjoy this rare natural temperature.

Time passed slowly, and by ten o'clock in the morning, the aunt had already bought all the vegetables, but in fact, there were not many things, most of the vegetables were planted in the corner of the yard.

Speaking of this small place fenced off, it also has its significance.

My uncle and aunt didn't live in the town at the beginning, but they came back here for some reason and settled down.

After many years of not having children, they decided to adopt Shi Shu, and later in order for the children to be able to eat the fresh vegetables they planted, the place where Aunt Xiaoyun's flowers were originally planted was changed to a small vegetable garden, which was always planted with seasonal vegetables.

Aunt Xiaoyun and Uncle Lin Yu, who had never grown vegetables before, have already solved various problems, which is really touching family.

It seems to be a bit biased, but back to the guests.

agreed to pick them up at the bus station in the town at half past ten, it was a family of three, I heard that it was the brother of the uncle, what the specific relationship was, and he couldn't figure it out in real time, for her, it seemed that the word relative was very sensitive.

Shi Shu was taken to pick them up, although she refused at first, but her uncle and aunt insisted on it, and kept saying that those people were very easy to get along with, so Shi Shu went with her.

Qiu Huan was left at home to take care of the family, and he was not interested in any relatives, not to mention that there was a small girl in it, and Shi Shu was enough for him.

When the three of them arrived at the station, there was still plenty of time, and the buses of those relatives had not yet arrived.

"That Shi Shu, just follow us and shout later, they are all very good people." The aunt saw that Shi Shu was a little nervous, after all, she was a child and had to face strangers.

"Well, got it, Auntie." Shi Shu clenched his hands a little nervously.

It was the first time to receive a guest as a host, and it was a wonderful and apprehensive feeling.

Finally, the car carrying the guests arrived, and as the passengers walked down one by one, the aunt and they soon saw the three people waiting.

They took Shi Shu to greet them, warmly took the luggage in the hands of the guests, and then took Shi Shu on the side of the road to greet the guests.

"This is your Uncle Lin Qiu, your Aunt Meiyu."

"Uncle Lin Qiu is good, Aunt Meiyu is good." Shi Shu obediently stepped forward to call someone.

"Well, this is Shi Shu, what a good boy."

The child, who was hiding behind two adults, sprang out.

"Really, Sister Shi Shu, you haven't called me yet!"

It's a little sister who looks like a porcelain doll, with a milky voice and a cute voice.

"Well, hello little sister."

"Little sister? My sister doesn't call me by my name, she wants to call me Sister Jelly. ”

"Okay, hello Sister Jelly."

"This..."

"Okay, okay, hurry up and go to my uncle's house to eat something delicious, it's rude to let my aunt carry a bunch of things on the street."

Aunt Miyu saw that her little baby was about to make a fool of herself again, so she hurriedly coaxed her home.

I have to say that she is still a mother who understands children, and some small problems with her little jelly can make people doubt life, and she can go around all morning with this name.

When they arrived at home, the two ladies rushed into the kitchen to cook, while the two men went to the study to chat about family matters that they hadn't contacted for many years.

Shi Shu originally wanted to help in the kitchen, but the two women kicked her out in unison.

She was assigned to Jelly and, of course, Qiu Hwan.

Woof?

Qiu Huan lay in the open space in the courtyard without love, and the jelly grabbed its ears and rubbed them.

Qiu Huan swore that everything was for the sake of Xiaoyun's feeding and the meat boiled in the pot, so he didn't eat this stinky girl as a snack.

As soon as Shi Shu came out, he saw this dangerous appearance, it was not an ordinary dog, even an ordinary dog would be bitten!

She hurriedly brought the snacks and fruits in her hand to relieve the siege.

"Little Jelly, would you like to come and eat something delicious?" Shi Shu coaxed the little girl to come over to eat.

"Yes!" When the little girl saw a bunch of snacks and fruits, she immediately couldn't take her eyes off, usually her mother didn't let her eat so many snacks, saying that she wouldn't eat after eating.

In the world of an eight-year-old child, she can never figure out why the snacks are so delicious that adults have to force her to eat.

As soon as the child got the snack, his eyes immediately narrowed into two slits, thank you sister for saying that it is called a sweet.

Qiu Huan took the opportunity to run out of the yard, although he also wanted to eat snacks, but after all, he was about to eat, and he would rather eat two fewer biscuits and more meat at noon than being teased by children.

"Dog, run away. Sister. Jelly swallowed the snack in his mouth and immediately complained to Shi Shu.

"Mmmm, he likes to run out to play with steamed buns." Shi Shu still coaxed her.

"Okay then, I'll play with Jelly when he comes back." Little Jelly looks quite obedient.

At noon, Qiu Huan really ate a lot of delicious food, stewed soft pork leg meat, and delicious small yellow croaker.

After lunch, several parents continued to clean up and chat.

As soon as Shi Shu helped bring the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen, he was sent out to rest again.

Aunt Meiyu said that she also brought a gift to Shi Shu and asked Little Jelly to take her sister to dismantle it, and Aunt Xiaoyun naturally thanked Yunyun politely.

Shi Shu was dragged by Jelly's little hand and taken to the guest room where he put his things.

It was a gift in a blue bag, and at first glance it was a pair of shoes.

Shi Shu took out the shoes and compared them, and was urged by the jelly to change them, the size was just right.

This is a pair of purple and black thread hooked shoes, the sole is a soft foam rubber sole, maybe that's the name, it looks like foam and rubber, Shi Shu doesn't understand much.

It's warm to wear and fits well.

She stood up and spun around, very comfortable and light.

"Sister, you look good in it, it's the same as jelly."

Sure enough, the style is exactly the same as on the little jelly feet, the only difference is the size.

"Auntie, thank you for your shoes."

Shi Shu wore it and walked to the kitchen to thank his aunt, which was one of the few gifts Shi Shu received.

It looks like I did it myself.

"Ouch, this kid, I have to thank you Aunt Xiaoyun, she begged me to knit the shoes, so how can I know if the size of the shoes is appropriate." Aunt Miyu joked with a smile.

Aunt Xiaoyun was a little shy.

"Thank you, Aunt Xiaoyun." Shi Shu smiled happily.

"You kid, wear these shoes and take your sister upstairs to play, don't get wet in the kitchen." The aunt kicked Shi Shu out again.

A wave of sweetness welled up from the heart to the limbs.

"Sister, let's play together."

For an eight-year-old girl, the number one favorite game is always the playing house.

"Okay, so what do you want to be?"

"I want to be a little princess, and my sister is a big princess."

Shi Shu accompanied her to mess around for a while, but she was sleepy and refused to sleep in the guest room, so she was arranged to sleep with Shi Shu.

Shi Shu continued to be her little nurse, Aunt Meiyu was dragged by Aunt Xiaoyun to go shopping on the street, and finally she didn't need to take care of the children, so she left immediately, she trusted Shi Shu as a helper.

Qiu Huan, a monster with no conscience, ran away after eating.

Shi Shu couldn't fall asleep in bed, Xiao Fruit Jelly was drooling from sleep, she rubbed it from time to time, and the sound of cars occasionally came from outside the window, and most of the time it was very quiet.

When it was late to the companion, the little girl woke up, and it is said that she couldn't sleep the night before, and she sat in the car for several hours during the day, and she was tired.

"Sister Shi Shu, am I drooling when I sleep?"

When the meal was cooked, the little girl secretly asked Shi Shu, and the two little eyes looked around.

"Well, there's a lot to go." Shi Shu joked that children are still very interesting most of the time.

"You know what? In my dream, I dreamed that my grandmother was ready to eat and called for me to eat. ”

"It smells good."

The little girl held a greasy chicken leg in her hand and said while licking the dripping soup.

"Hehe, little gluttonous cat, eat a little more and you won't be hungry."

Shi Shu didn't put this matter at ease, he just thought that children were very interesting, and his dreams were also simple.

After eating dinner satisfied, Shi Shu caught Qiu Huan who was about to slip away, she didn't want to take the baby alone, although the jelly was not very naughty, but she had to play with the dog, and everyone couldn't help it.

"You girl, make that little ghost happy, why are you pulling me?" Qiu Huan was grabbed by the tail and looked indignant.

"Anyway, you ate the snacks brought by others, so you have to look at the children." Anyway, the steamed bun is a monster, not an ordinary puppy.

"Okay, okay, let's see what this little kid is going to do."

Qiu Huan was also assigned to the role, being the princess's pet, with a huge bow on his head.

If it weren't for the fear that he would strike, Shi Shu would have laughed out loud immediately.

He gave up struggling, and lay there and let the little girl mess around.

After the little girl fell asleep, Qiu Huan found Shi Shu very seriously.

"This kid has a bad smell on his body." He's always had a good nose, and you can't go wrong with that.

"Bad taste? What do you mean? Shi Shu sat up and put on a padded jacket, and it was very cold in the house in winter.

"Spirit."

"Spirit? How could she smell of spirit? "Shi Shu is very different, the little jelly doesn't look like being hurt by a monster at all.

"Probably because her relatives are attached to her, so there will be this smell on her." Qiu Huan thought about it, it should be right.

"Loved ones? At night she said she dreamed of her grandmother. Shi Shu remembered what Jelly said during the meal.

"Then, this child's grandmother is reluctant to give up this granddaughter, so she is entangled by her side."

"This?"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow, that spirit is not here now, and I can't do anything about it."

Shi Shu lay back in the bed.

The spirit of the dead, the nostalgia for the world, the familiar people cannot touch.

Nostalgia...
