“…… And then, and then ...... Eh...... Eh...... Why didn't you get it......"

It's a somewhat remote village.

A dirt road winds through the village, which is the village road, and you can see people's houses on both sides from time to time.

The dirt road leads out of the village and is the only way out of the village.

At this time, it is the tail of midsummer, the hottest time.

The farmers who harvest the rice are hiding from the sun in their houses, or taking a lunch break, or talking something.

The birds didn't know where to hide in the shade, only the cicadas were tirelessly chirping.

On the side of the road at the entrance of the village, two children who don't know the heat are picking the peaches that have just begun to ripen on the peach tree at the entrance of the village under the scorching sun at noon.

There are three peach trees in total, all of which are some years old, and their branches are luxuriantly open, covering a large area of shade at the entrance of the village.

At this moment, among the dense leaves, a lot of fruit has been bought.

The two children, the older boy, climbed barefoot up a peach tree.

The younger girl spread her coat under the tree and threw her head back to wait for the boy to throw down the peaches.

The boy who climbed the tree and stood on the branch holding the trunk of the tree couldn't wait to reach out his hand to pick a ripe peach.

I wiped the hair on the peaches, put them in my mouth and nibbled on them.

However, he did not forget the girl waiting under the tree, took the previous peach in his mouth, climbed a little higher, picked a better one, and threw it at the girl's open clothes under the tree.

However, the girl was under the tree, listening to the boy's command, and moved her clothes to the left and right, but she still did not catch it, and let the peach fall to the ground.

The boy in the tree was a little annoyed with the peach he had eaten several bites of in his hand.

The girl under the tree seemed to hear the boy blame her, her mouth was deflated, she pursed, lowered her head, and was aggrieved, but her hand was still open with the placket of the peach.

“…… Eh, what are you upset about...... It's okay, it's okay, you can still eat it when you pick it up on the ground, just pick it up...... Wait, I'll find you another bigger and sweeter one. ”

The boy in the tree looked at the girl and messed up.

Why is he wronged, the stones in the same village are never like this, talking about him, he is still yelling at him.

The boy hurried, comforted the girl, leaned over the trunk, and reached out to touch the larger peach on the branch.

"Hmm!"

The girl listened to the boy's words and nodded emphatically,

Don't be wronged, squat down first, and pick up the peach on the ground,

wiped it, opened its mouth wide, and finally took a small bite, leaving a tooth mark on the peach,

But still laughed happily,

Then he took the peach and continued to spread his clothes, looking up at the boy in the tree.

“…… Got it! You go this way...... Yes, just stand here and don't move......"

"Well, don't move!"

“…… Eh, alright...... This time it's right, you taste it, this one is definitely sweeter than the last one. ”

This time the boy was careful, and put his hand down from the tree.

Finally landed on the clothes that the little girl was carrying, the boy breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the hot sweat on his body, and said to the little girl.

"Hmm!"

The little girl was still holding another peach in one hand, and she couldn't let go of her hand.

He squatted down, let go of the clothes he was carrying, stretched out his other hand, picked up the peach, rubbed it on the clothes, and then took a big bite.

"Sweet!"

The little girl narrowed her eyes, raised her head, and said loudly to the boy in the tree.

"Hey...... I'll just say sweet, it's definitely sweeter than the last one. ”

The boy laughed too, and then turned around and finished the peach in his hand, which he had eaten several bites, and threw the peach pit aside.

Then he held the trunk of the tree, and reached out to pick the peaches,

"Don't eat it yet, spread out your clothes first, I'll pick a few more, and then we'll take them back to my father and mother to eat."

"Hmm!"

The little girl put down the peaches she had eaten in two bites, stretched out her clothes and put them in her pocket, and looked up at the boy on the tree with her head tilted intently.

“…… To give...... And then ......"

The boy threw a few more peaches down one after the other.

Several of them were thrown on the clothes that were stretched out, but the last one hit the girl's head.

It rubbed off the girl's head and landed on the cloth pocket.

The girl didn't say anything, just reached out and rubbed her head.

The boy on the tree was still looking for a bigger ripe peach, waiting to pick another peach and turn around.

I saw the girl rubbing her head.

"Huh...... Did you hit it? Why don't you make a sound? ”

The boy looked at the girl rubbing her head in pain, and asked nervously, and at the same time a little confused.

The stones in his village have never been like this, and when they hurt, they cry like killing pigs, so that the whole village can hear them.

"Are you alright...... I'll take a look at ......"

With a peach in his hand, the boy slid down the tree with a whoosh.

Then he looked at the wound on the girl's head with concern.

"Hmm...... It looks like it's okay, but does it still hurt? ”

"Hmm...... It doesn't hurt anymore. ”

The girl shook her head and said, then raised her head to look at the boy with some doubts,

"Aren't you picking it up?"

"Enough picking, you see, these are for us to eat, and these are for my father and mother."

"And I've picked the biggest and sweetest of the tree, you see!"

The boy handed the peach in his hand to the girl,

"Wow!"

The girl said in surprise.

The boy laughed a little embarrassedly,

This peach is actually not that big, but it is slightly larger than the other peaches just now.

"Hey, you taste, taste."

"Hmm...... It's so sweet! ”

The girl opened her mouth, took a bite, and her eyes narrowed with a smile,

"You eat too."

"Okay, I'll eat it too."

The boy felt as if he was a little dazed, and kept giggling,

I also took a bite.

"Okay, I've eaten it, I'll give you the rest."

Coming back to his senses, the boy stuffed the big peach into the girl's hand,

Then I took the remaining peaches that I had picked, took the peaches that the little girl had just carried out, packed them up, and wrapped them together.

I was ready to take the little girl back.

But when he got up from the ground and raised his head, he found that two people came to the side of the road at the entrance of the village.

“…… Who are you? ”

The boy frowned and asked, seeing that these two people had never seen each other, they were definitely not from Taocun or Changping Village.

Subconsciously, he pulled the little girl over and protected her behind her.

The little girl was holding a few peaches in her hand, and with some curiosity, she leaned out from behind the boy and looked.

"We're just passing through here."

These two people are naturally Xu Feng and Ah Meng.

Earlier, the two of them had been here, and they had seen the boy and the girl here.

This boy must be the guest of the inn, the husband of the bride?

"Oh...... Then you should pass by. Little painting, let's go, back. ”

"Hmmm......"

As he spoke, the boy stretched out a hand, picked up the little girl, and ran quickly towards the village.

Xu Feng and Ah Meng stood at the entrance of the village, watching the boy and girl gradually run away.

The boy and girl seemed to have run into the house.

Xu Feng took Ah Meng and took another step forward,

The two of them turned into two sparrows.

……

“…… Mother, father, uncle, aunt...... We're back......"

Outside the yard, surrounded by a fence.

In the yard, next to the fence, some vegetables are also grown.

Past the courtyard, under the eaves of the house, the two families who had had lunch, hiding in the shade, were sitting and chatting.

"Lao Shi, how much is there to confiscate from our family's land, I collected it this afternoon, can I finish the work in the evening?"

"There isn't much left, just the land in the afternoon, and when it is harvested in the afternoon, it will be busy. I have to thank both of you for coming over to help, otherwise my mother and I will have to work for two more days, and we will have to rush to plant another season's ......."

"What's polite, our two families help each other, and you only went over to help us collect it two days ago."

When the grain harvest in the fields on both sides is in the morning and evening, they take advantage of each other's free time to help each other, or exchange jobs.

When you wait for your own food to be harvested, you can have two more people to help, and you don't have to spend money.

As the two families were talking, they heard their children's voices coming.

Then they turned their heads one after another, and saw the boy and the girl holding hands and running back from the outside of the yard.

"These two children really don't know how to be afraid of heat."

"Kid, who knows what, still playing in the water in the winter."

The two families looked at the two children again, and couldn't help but smile and say again,

“…… You said you, where are you going to run on a hot day, this is full of sweat......"

Two mothers reached out and pulled the boy and girl into the shade under the eaves,

The boy and girl wiped their sweat, and the two mothers helped wipe their clothes.

"Here, the Shi family's girl, her mother, wipe the child."

The boy's mother handed the handkerchief to the girl's mother,

"What do you say you're running around with people...... You stinky boy. ”

"Mother, father, uncle and aunt, eat peaches...... I picked peaches ......"

The boy handed the peach in his pocket to his parents, uncles and aunts.

The girl also took a bite of the peach she had nibbled on and handed it to her mother's mouth.

"Oh, peach, it's weird, the tree at the entrance of the village?"

The girl's mother smiled and took a bite of the peach that the girl handed to her mouth.

"Lao Shi, let's try one...... it, take it and wash it. ”

The girl's father laughed next to him, and the boy's father shook his head amusedly, and also turned his head and said,

"Taste ...... that"

"I'll do it......"

The girl's mother got up with a smile again, took it, and took it into the house to wash.

Under the eaves, the two families sat together, eating peaches and talking.

The boy took a peach and sat down on the edge of the eaves, and the girl took the uneaten peach and squatted beside the boy.

"Yo, this peach is really sweet this year."

"Brother Fan went to the tree to pick ......"

The girl's father took a bite of the peach and said with a smile.

The girl turned her head and said, and the boy laughed beside him, eating his peaches.

Listening to the girl's words, the smiles on the faces of the two families increased.

"Really?"

"Hmmm......"

"Lao Shi...... Speaking of which, your daughter seems to be about the same age as my boy. ”

"Well, it's pretty much the same, it's a year or two younger than your kid......"

"These two kids got together...... It's pretty lively......"

"It's good, these two kids ......"

The two families looked at the two children sitting under the eaves, and they both smiled on their faces.

The two children don't quite understand what adults say,

The boy turned his head, looked at him suspiciously, and then turned back again, eating the peach to himself,

The little girl looked intently at the ants crawling on the ground under the eaves and on the edge of the yard.

Then he raised his head again and looked at the peach in the boy's hand.

The boy gulped down and made people feel fragrant when they looked at it.

"Huh? Do you want to eat me this? ”

The boy noticed the girl's gaze,

"And this is for you too? I'll get another one. ”

The boy handed the girl the one in his hand, and turned around to get another one.

The girl took a small bite in one hand, smiling and squinting her eyes.

"You eat ...... too"

Then it was handed to the boy.

"Hmmm......"

The boy took a bite, and his attention was again attracted by the two sparrows on the fence of the yard, and pointed to the sparrows and called the girl to look.

"Well, look, there's two sparrows there."

Immediately after, the sparrow flew.

If you don't fly, I'm afraid that the two children who have already stood up will reach out and grab it.

"Lao Fan, when I'm done with the work in the field, do you still need help over there......"

"I'm going to plant the seedlings next season......

Looking at the two children, the two families smiled and said something else.

……

“…… Small painting, you just stand there, hold the bamboo basket and don't move...... I'm going to get the fish from here. ”

"Huh...... Brother Fan Cheng, there's a crab here......"

It's summer again.

The boys have grown up and the girls have grown up.

At this age, girls grow faster and are about the same height as boys.

On the edge of the village of Changping Village, there is a stream called Changping Creek.

The stream is not deep, and the river is full of pebbles.

At this time, the boy and the girl are holding the sleeves of the trouser legs, holding the bamboo basket in the stream to fish and catch shrimp.

The boy rushed down from a little upstream,

A little downstream, the two of them took the stones by the river, got tired in the stream, and blocked the river.

Just left a small gap, and placed the bamboo basket diagonally, holding the bamboo basket mouth facing it.

The girl used her legs to block the bamboo basket to prevent it from drifting away, and guarded here.

The young man drove the stream and walked over, but he didn't catch a fish, but opened it under the stone next to him, and saw a crab.

"Small paintings, bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, let's stop catching fish, catch crabs......"

"Hmmm......"

The girl took the bamboo basket and walked over,

“…… Eh, caught ...... Small paintings, bamboo baskets! ”

"Give ......"

"Hey ......"

Catching a crab and looking through the bamboo basket, the boy and the girl laughed.

"Small Paintings...... You turn over the rocks over there, and I'll turn over the ...... It's good for you to catch crabs like this......"

"Hmm!"

The boy walked beside the stream with a bamboo basket,

The girl was barefoot, with her trouser legs and sleeves pulled, and she also walked on the other side of the stream.

Carefully look at each of the larger stones by the stream.

"Little painting, I caught another one here, do you have one over there......"

“…… I also have one here...... I have two of them here...... Several ......"

"Where, where......"

The boy ran over to the stream, splashing himself and the girl, and neither of them cared.

"Five crabs!"

The boy was a little surprised at first, and then saw the girl rubbing her fingers, her eyes were a little red,

"Huh...... Did you get caught by a crab? Are you alright? Why don't you make a sound...... You got bitten and you want to tell me you know? ”

The young man put down the bamboo basket in a little hurry, looked at the girl's bitten fingers, looked at it again, and gently rubbed it.

"Are you alright?"

"It's okay......"

The girl answered softly, and then looked down and saw the bamboo basket,

The bamboo basket that was put into the stream has been washed down by the stream,

"Eh, Brother Fan, the crab is gone!"

"The crabs in the bamboo basket also ran away......"

In the stream, there was another burst of chickens and dogs.

“…… It's okay, it's okay......"

"It's okay to run, they're in this river, and we're definitely going to catch them......"

“…… Look, I'll just say...... Caught ...... again"

"Doesn't look like it's that one anymore?"

"It's okay, let's catch it......"

"Uh-huh......"

Along the stream, the boy and the girl touched the crab,

There was a stream of water splashing on his face, and his sleeves and trouser legs were wet.

In the woods beside the stream,

Xu Feng and Ah Meng turned into two flying birds, looking at the two frolicking boys and girls in the stream.

The guest bride of the inn,

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the person you are now.

There are no traces of the village here.

Obviously, this is a historical mapping from a long time ago.

Leaving the tree again, the two incarnated birds moved forward.

……

“…… Xiaocheng. You are almost old, and your father said that in a few years, you will find a family affair and marry a daughter-in-law, what do you think? ”

In the house, I had just had dinner, and it was still dark.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the young mother washed the dishes and chopsticks in the yard.

The boy was at the edge of the yard, helping his father grow vegetables in the yard.

"Marry a daughter-in-law?"

The young man's face and neck were red, and he twisted a little.

"Yes, I'll give you a daughter-in-law. Does my son have a girl in the picture, my father and mother will find someone to match you. ”

Looking at the young man's appearance, the young man's mother said with a smile again.

When the young man heard the sound, he was even more embarrassed, his face was even redder, red like a boiled crab, his face was red, his ears were red, he was twisted and pinched, and he couldn't speak.

"Looks like my son has someone in his heart?"

The young mother and father are laughing beside them, and the child's mind is hidden well, but in the eyes of the people next to him, especially in the eyes of the parents, it is not clear.

Listening to his mother's words, a figure appeared in the boy's mind.

It seems to be good if you're with her all the time.

It was the first time for the boy to have such a clear thought, which made him even more embarrassed and a little shy.

Bow your head, and don't speak.

"Hmm...... Isn't it a girl from the Shi family? Well? ”

Mother asked with a smile.

The young man was pierced in his heart, and his head was eager to be buried in the ground.

"If you don't say it...... Mother will tell you that you don't have to be a parent? ”

"Don't, don't ......"

The young man raised his head suddenly, and said as soon as he spoke.

Then he buried his head again, and his whole body was red.

The young mother and father couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

……

“…… Xiaohua, let's go fish in the river, shall we? ”

“…… Let's not go, Brother Fan......"

"Why?"

"My mother said that girls should be virtuous in order to be likable...... will someone be willing to marry ......"

As she spoke, the girl looked up at the boy.

The boy blushed, he had never been so uncomfortable with the girl as he was today.

"Who said that! I just love ......."

The young man blushed, stood up, plucked up his courage and said,

Just talking and talking, in the girl's gaze, the courage disappeared little by little, and the blush became even worse.

But at this time, the girl also stood up, reached out and took the young man's hand,

"Then let's go catch fish in the river."

The girl said.
