Chapter 62: Grandma Li's Birthday

"Grass?"

When Cao'er was far away from the shaking well in front of Li Yunfeng's house, the voice of a girl squatting next to the well platform sounded.

"Li Yunfeng! The grass is coming! ”

"Li Lan'er?"

"Why are you here?"

Cao'er walked to the well fence, next to the gate of Li Yunfeng's house, and saw that the person who shouted at her was Li Lan'er, who was in the same class as herself in the fourth grade and Li Yunfeng in the fifth grade, and later joined their "Green Grass Action" that year, and wrote homework on the lawn at noon together.

Li Lan'er was squatting next to a red plastic basin and clamping duck feathers, the duck should have just been wiped off its neck, soaked in water, and its gray and white feathers were fluttering in the water. Its yellow long pointed round beak was pinched in Li Lan'er's left hand, her right hand pinched the iron tongs, pincering the duck feathers one by one, the duck's eyes were dark, and there seemed to be remnants of the sunny days and green mountains that it had run in the field this summer.

Cao'er was a little unbearable, but the duck had already lost its breath, and it was also a kind of kindness to humans who kept it in captivity, and returned the meat as energy to those who needed it.

"Sister Cao'er!"

Li Yunhe ran out of the kitchen, smiling so much that his eyes were about to squint into a shining slit, he had always been full of energy, and his eyes were always bright. He ran out to look at her, to call her affectionately, to smile mischievously, and then turned and ran back to the kitchen, presumably waiting for him to make a fire in the stove.

"Sister!"

Yunqin has grown a lot taller, and she has gone under Cao'er's armpits, no longer tying her two cupola braids, and even cutting a short hair similar to Cao'er, I don't know how this little girl was willing to give up her two long black and oily braids in the past, but the short hair fell behind the roots of her ears, soft and thin, and it was also very slippery, and it could be seen that the nutrition was good, and she was taken care of by her brother and grandmother very well. She stared at a pair of big round eyes, bent her mouth and smiled at Cao'er, revealing a row of snow teeth, envying the grass that saw her - Cao'er's teeth, because of the result of eating white sugar all year round, did not grow very neatly, fortunately, the right front tooth looked outward and looked like a tiger tooth, there was no fierce and ugly appearance, it was considered to add a cuteness, and it was just that, but Cao'er did not dislike her teeth until she grew up, which is a mark of grandma's love for her, and it can be regarded as a commemoration of the old man's love for herself.

"Sister, grandma celebrates her sixtieth birthday today, and Sister Lan'er is here to help!"

Yunqin didn't wait for Cao'er to ask, so she happily introduced.

What about Li Yunfeng? Cao'er searched in her heart. I finally came here, but I didn't see this Li Yunfeng alone.

"Oh? What a coincidence! What about grandma? Where did it go? ”

Cao'er looked left and right, but just asked where the Li family's grandmother went.

"Grandma is coming back from her trip to the vegetable garden! She said that today she went to pluck some radishes and came back to stew duck soup! ”

Speaking of food, Yunqin is alive and well. This little girl loves to eat the most, but unexpectedly she received the beautiful and sweet candy that Cao'er brought her from the city, and she ran to the kitchen to show off to her second brother as if she had good news. Of course, when Li Yunhe received the pencil case given to him by Cao'er, he couldn't put it down, such a bright color and atmospheric pencil case was rare in their class. He must have been tempted to touch it from time to time in class to satisfy his mental joy.

When the Li grandmother came back from the vegetable garden with a basket of turnips and greens from the vegetable garden, before she had time to dry the dew on her sleeves, she was stuffed into her mouth with a smile that was broken by the grass, and the laughter that filled the yard extended to the neighbors in the corridor. Cao'er didn't know that the joy she brought to Li Yunfeng's family not only remembered everyone in their hearts, but also deeply engraved in Li Yunfeng's heart. It's just that the deeper the emotion he gets, the more he doesn't have to express it in words.

"Cao'er, as soon as you come, this Li Yunfeng's family will be happy."

Li Lan'er continued to clamp the duck feathers vigorously, and said while looking at the grass with envy.

"It's been a long time since we've seen each other. It's a lot of thinking. ”

Cao'er was thinking in her heart where Li Yunfeng had gone, and she hadn't shown up for so long, and she responded to Li Lan'er with a smile. Li Lan'er has also grown taller than when she was in elementary school, her wheat-colored skin is also very energetic in the sun, a pair of big black and round eyes, a pair of thick lips, and the lip color is naturally significantly healthy red, the only thing is that the root of the nose is a little shorter, and the wings of the nose are open to both sides, slightly larger, but fortunately, her face is round, symmetrical, and not ugly. She is slightly fat, quick in her work, and more girly than grass.

"Cao'er, I heard Yunqin say that Li Yunfeng got up early in the morning to ask his brother to pick duck feathers, and he didn't know where he went, and I haven't seen him yet."

Li Lan'er said with a smile while sweeping the pile of duck feathers that had just been plucked from her feet into the garbage shovel. I don't know if she saw through Cao'er's mind or not, but Cao'er, who came all the way, must have come to find Li Yunfeng.

"Oh? It's not going to work in the fields, is it? ”

Cao'er saw that Li Lan'er took the initiative to talk about Li Yunfeng, so she also followed the conversation.

"It's past nine o'clock...... He's not going to be back until noon. ”

Cao'er thought that she would stay until noon at most and have to go back as soon as she finished eating, and her tone couldn't help but be a little impatient.

"Probably not, I heard Yunqin say that he hadn't eaten breakfast when he went out, could it be that he ate soil in the field?"

Li Lan'er also giggled, her tone was calmer than Cao'er.

"Li Yunfeng, what are you doing here?"

As soon as Li Lan'er finished speaking, she saw Li Yunfeng coming back and hurriedly shouted.

Cao'er, who was originally facing the well, heard Cao'er's question, and quickly turned around, and saw that under the eaves, Li Yunfeng was wearing a black plastic soft leather shoulder worker's pants and carrying a red plastic bucket, which seemed to contain something in it, which was very heavy, so he had to lean over and carry it. Cao'er didn't make a sound, and Li Yunfeng should have heard Li Lan'er's words on the edge of the well railing, but he didn't speak, he didn't even move his lips, and he was walking briskly towards the door of the house.

Cao'er went up to look at him in the bucket, but it turned out to be two live fish, one was a bright red carp and the other was a black catfish.

"Did you go to the pond to touch it?"

Cao'er knew that there was a mountain pond not far from the peanut field where they pulled weeds during the summer vacation, which was said to be a wild mountain pond, which was a natural pond-like pond formed naturally by the depression after the river water flowed, and there were many wild catfish, snails, and mussels, but the carp was one that I didn't expect.

"Hmm."

Li Yunfeng's question to Cao'er was a habitual response. The corners of his mouth with his head slightly lowered raised, but soon returned to normal, as if he and Cao'er had only met the other day.

Cao'er reached out and grabbed the side of the thin round iron handle of the bucket, and carried the bucket of water and fish into the kitchen with Li Yunfeng, which was also very natural, the word rusty, it is estimated that for these two young boys and girls who have worked together in the field since childhood, it is estimated that it will not be used in the future.
