In the eighteenth year of Yongle, the sun in May is the time when the lotus seeds are ripe and the most tender.

Li Tang's brother and sister and Lantian played in Lianhu all afternoon, if it wasn't for the time for dinner, I was afraid that I would have to play crazy, Lantian has always been indulgent to Li Tang, Li Tang said that he would never say anything.

However, Li Yu has always known the severity, so he dragged Li Tang, who was reluctant to go, back, and entered the house with a joke, each holding a few lotus buds in their hands, and the lotus flowers made Li Tang greedy, so Lantian asked people to go to the lake to pick a bunch for her to pick.

I thought she was going to break a few to eat, but I saw that she picked up some good ones and put them aside, not like she wanted to eat, I don't know what she wanted to do with these, and then the two of them helped her take them home.

The three of them happily entered the door, and as soon as they stepped into the courtyard, they saw from a distance that the main hall of the front yard was full of people.

Doctor Li, who usually sits in the pharmacy, also came back early today, and is sitting in the hall at the moment, Mrs. Li is also there, in addition to a man and a woman and a young man, the man and a woman are talking and laughing with Dr. Li and Mrs. Li, and the young man is sitting quietly on the side, listening to the adults.

I think the movement of the three people entering and exiting the courtyard was too loud, and everyone in the room looked into the courtyard.

When a guest visited, Li Tang secretly said in his heart that he was bad, and today he was dressed as a man again, holding a lotus pod in his arms at the moment, and his face was still stained with muddy water.

Li Tangxin said that it was better to run away directly, it was better to be rude than to be embarrassed...... Just as she was about to flee, the young man in the room got up with a smile on his face and came out.

"Tang'er..."

The young man couldn't hide his joy, Li Yu and Lantian didn't know the young man, they just called it so familiar, I thought Li Tang knew it, but Li Tang stood stunned with the lotus canopy in his hand, but he couldn't remember who this young man was!

Li Tang looked at the young man in front of him blankly, only feeling a little familiar between his eyebrows, but he couldn't remember who it was!

"Tang'er, don't you know me?"

If it weren't for the fact that men and women don't kiss, this young man was so anxious that he was afraid that he would grab Li Tang's hands and question him, but now that they have grown up, they are not allowed to be as close as brothers and sisters as they were when they were children!

The young man was sad and lost, but more of it was still joy that could not be hidden, Li Tang didn't remember who the other party was, but Lantian over there was a displeased, and stepped forward to insert between the two, and his tone was not very pleasant:

"Which one are you?"

The young man was full of anticipation but never wanted to be forgotten by the person he was thinking about, and at this time he was interrupted by Lantian and questioned him, so he became angry and was about to speak, but the adults in the house came out, and he had to hold back.

The three of them looked embarrassed, especially Li Tang, who took the lead and stood in front, and was clearly seen by the guests, and Dr. Li was slightly embarrassed:

"The child is stubborn, which makes Brother Qi and sister-in-law Qi laugh."

The two hurriedly answered: "It's all dolls, it's still young, it's fun and smart!" The two thought to themselves: In Yuancun, they already know what the character of this Li family girl is, and there are more times when they are more "good-looking" than this, so they are not surprised at all!

"Tang'er, don't you remember? This is Brother Yu'an from my grandmother's house! "It was Mrs. Li who spoke.

When Li Tang was six or seven years old, she once went to the garden village in the next town, where her grandmother's parents lived for a while. At that time, because the Li family was very busy, and she was naughty, she couldn't take time to take care of her, so Mrs. Li sent her to her parents.

Her grandparents love her, several uncles and aunts treat her well, she is the youngest in this generation, her cousins and cousins also take great care of her, and there are many friends in the village, you can go up the mountain with them every day, there are many fun places that Qingxi Town does not have, so she likes to stay there.

At that time, Li Tang had been living in Yuancun for several months, and when Dr. Li went to pick up people again, she refused to go home, crying and making trouble, so Mrs. Li had to let her live in Yuancun for a while.

Later, if it wasn't for the end of the year, Dr. Li would no longer indulge her and forcibly took her back to Qingxi Town, afraid that she would want to stay in Yuancun forever, so Li Tang cried for a while.

Mrs. Li coaxed her to send her over after the New Year, so that she would not make trouble, but Mrs. Li did not break her promise, and did take her after the New Year, but she was not allowed to live for a long time, and she would stay for three or two days every time she went back.

Although she is reluctant to give up, but the child can be more difficult than the adult, and then later, the number of times she goes is getting less and less, and the interval is getting longer and longer, and gradually, she has grown into a big child, and she is not as noisy as before!

In addition to Li Tang's grandfather and their Tang surname in Yuan Village, there are many miscellaneous surnames, this Qi Yu'an family is the surname of Yuan Village, at that time, Li Tang played with a group of children up the mountain and down the river every day, Qi Yu'an was also one of them, he was very good to her, picked the fruit and pinched the flowers for her, caught butterflies and caught fish and shrimp and returned them to her, as long as she liked it.

Every day, a group of babies jump out of bed as soon as they wake up, pick up mushrooms and dig wild vegetables on the mountain, go down to the river to fish for crabs and catch loaches, eat morning rice adults want to shout all over the mountain, come back just after eating, blink and disappear.

When it comes to dinner, another family is full of rivers shouting to find people, sometimes a group of babies stay in a family to play with new playthings and can't move their feet, they are pulled by adults to eat in a family, often today the Zhang family raises a group of babies, tomorrow the Zhao family is not enough rice bowls.

Li Tang lived in Yuancun for more than half a year, and it can be said that she has traveled every inch of land in Yuancun and eaten every family's food, so even if she went less later, her nostalgia for Yuancun is always in her heart.

The last time she went to Yuancun was four years ago, and she hadn't seen Qi Yu'an for four years, Qi Yu'an and Li Yu were the same age, how many years older than her, and the male baby grew up fast, these two years were the time when Qi Yu'an's eyebrows and eyes grew.

Now he is a lot more sensible, and he is already a little adult, unlike Li Tang who is still like a child, so Li Tang just remembered it all of a sudden, and when he heard Mrs. Li say it at this time, he was surprised! .

"Huh? Are you Brother Wooan? After being surprised, I was also overjoyed, I originally wanted to hold the other party to catch up with the old days, but I couldn't reach out with the lotus shower in both hands, but she couldn't reach out because of the loss.

"Yu'er Tang'er, come here to see Uncle Qi and Auntie!" The two children forgot the etiquette for a while, and Dr. Li had to remind him.

Li Yu and Li Tang came back to their senses and stepped forward to greet him, Qi Fusheng and his daughter-in-law were busy responding to the child, and Lantian on the side seemed a little redundant, but Dr. Li never forgot it, and raised his hand to greet Lantian:

"This is Chongning's Lan Gongzi, Yu'er's little friend." Don't mention half a sentence of identity, for the sake of Lantian, and don't lose affinity, it is to avoid embarrassment, although Lantian is small, he understands Dr. Li's heart.

Lantian also stepped forward to salute him, he didn't have to be like this, but he was so polite, Doctor Li, Mrs. Li was always in his eyes.

It was Qi Fusheng and his wife who glanced at this delicate little boy in fine clothes, although Lantian was small, but the temperament of the children of the family, it was also an ordinary person who could see the difference at a glance.

The two thought about when the Li family had such wide relatives and friends, but Dr. Li didn't say much, so they didn't ask much.

"Brother Qi and sister-in-law Qi, let's go into the house and sit, the children are back, and we'll have dinner!" It was Dr. Li who spoke, and after welcoming the two into the house, Mrs. Li went to the kitchen to serve the food, and the meal was prepared earlier, just waiting for the children to come back.

Li Tang put down his anxious heart to catch up with Qi Yu'an for the time being, and the three of them went to wash their hands and face together with the lotus flower, and then Li Tang went to the kitchen to help Mrs. Li serve food.

Eating without saying a word, it is a precept since ancient times, but that is for children, what adults should say or say, after suffering Li Tang couldn't help but peek at Qi Yu'an while eating, and eating was much faster than usual.

Qi Yu'an has also been looking at her, but there is another person on the side who has been watching them, who else can there be besides Lantian, who has been secretly unhappy since entering the door!

finally waited until everyone had a good meal and helped Mrs. Li collect the dishes and wash them, so that they had time to catch up. The four adults were drinking tea and chatting in the hall, and the four little ones were allowed to run out into the street.

At this hour, it was already dark, although Chunxi Town was not bustling and lively, but there were still many stalls on the street at night doing business with lanterns, and there was a lot of food and fun.

Li Yu didn't care, but Lantian was not happy, looking at Li Tang's happy appearance, Qi Yu'an on the side lowered his head from time to time to listen to her explanation, and echoed a few words in a timely manner, the smile overflowing in his eyes was simply extremely eye-catching.

Lantian gritted his teeth in the back, the folding fan was about to be pinched, and the steps of his feet were much heavier than usual; As they walked, a few people walked to the old locust tree in the town, which I don't know how many hundred years had grown.

There was an old woman with white hair, and there was a small table under the tree all the year round, and the red rope and peach wood pendants that had been offered in the temple were placed on the table, and Li Tang hurriedly ran forward:

"Grandma Xia, it's so late, you won't go back!"

Seeing Li Tang coming, Grandma Xia smiled and said:

"Tang'er went out shopping? It's okay at home today, so I'll sit a little longer, and I'm going back. ”

Li Tang is very close to the elderly, Grandma Xia lives on the street behind Li Tang's house, there is a pear tree in the yard of Grandma Xia's house, one year little Li Tang ran to the courtyard of the house to stand, just when the pears are ripe, one by one golden hanging on the top, which makes people greedy.

The small hall looked up and stared at the pears on people's trees! The old man was naturally happy to see the child, but when he saw her appearance, he couldn't sit still, so he had to let his son, who was already a father in the family, climb the tree to pick it for her.

The son of the Xia family was a little reluctant, and he wanted to stop talking, but he couldn't resist Grandma Xia's insistence, so he climbed up and picked a few pears for her, but Xiao Li Tang was very happy, and ran home with the pears in his arms.
