In the evening, the streets were still covered with water after the rain, and at dusk, only a faint light shone on the shallow puddles of the ground and on the walls on both sides of the road.

But it is also the sunlight of these sunsets that reflects the original humble streets in golden red, which is very beautiful.

The number of people in the alleys of the eastern city gradually increased, including women who opened the doors of their houses and prepared to do business, and pedestrians who came all the way from afar.

At this time, a man who had just returned from working for the government walked to the door of the pastry shop, and the whole person looked a little tired, and his hand to tap the door of the house was extremely heavy.

"Knock, knock, knock..."The knock came from the other end of the shop, and the young man who was still helping his mother prepare dinner heard such a slow knock on the door, and he first looked at his mother who was busy in the yard with excitement.

Mother Lin also looked at her son when she heard the sound, and nodded with a smile at the young man who was still holding the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and the young man understood why his mother's smile was.

casually handed the dishes and chopsticks to Ye Dangting beside him, and ran to the other end of the store to open the door, "Crunch-" accompanied by the sound of opening the door.

The young man saw the middle-aged man who was reflected in the sunset and was full of golden red, his back was a little hunched because of the perennial work, and his whole face had been washed over the years, looking extremely old-fashioned.

"Son? ......" The middle-aged man was surprised at first when he saw the person who opened the door for him, and then a look of disbelief was revealed on his old face, and his lips trembled slightly.

"Daddy! It's full six, full six go home! The young man shouted at the man outside the door.

The middle-aged man is Lin Manliu's father, these days because of the rain, has been moving goods in the public house, after the rain broke today, he was told by the public housekeeper that he could go home to rest for the time being.

"Our family is back to Manliu, let's show my father a good life, there is no shortage of hardships along the way..."Father Lin rubbed his son's head, and then Lin Manliu walked quickly into the courtyard and saw Ye Dangting and Eleven.

"All the way was safe and sound, and on the way back, I came back with this old liar, and I didn't encounter anything strange, Dad can rest assured!" Lin Manliu said with a smile.

Father Lin just wanted to ask why he didn't come back with his brothers, but Ye Dang got up and bowed to him, which made the peasant man who had been busy for half his life not know what to say for a while, so he could only hurriedly learn to bow to Ye Dang's appearance, but even so, it looked a little funny.

"I've met Uncle Lin, I'm the Ye Dang I mentioned to the two of you eleven ago, and I came back with Man Liu this time, and the two of them took care of each other along the way..."

"I know, I know, the eleventh girl has heard me and Manliu talk to his mother before, and my family has caused trouble for Ye Shaoxia on the Manliu Road... Thank you Ye Shaoxia for sending him all the way," Father Lin hurriedly replied.

"Help each other along the way, Man Liu, this kid is very obedient, and he is also very clever" Ye Dang waved his hand and said, but he was thinking in his heart that if you hadn't been able to find a complaint for Eleven, you would not have to cry in front of your father and mother today, how difficult it is for you to teach.

"Why are you standing, why don't you come over and take a hand," Mother Lin picked up a spoon in the courtyard and shouted to Father Lin at the gate of the courtyard.

"Come on, don't you mother-in-law see that I'm asking Ye Shaoxia about our son, I really only have your pastry needlework in my head, your man is called sophisticated" Although Father Lin was scolding, he had already walked to the courtyard to help Mother Lin.

"Yes, yes, as far as you understand those big truths, you are still farming and moving things for people, how far has your son gone out."

"Doesn't that mean that our Lin family has a future, look at my son, there is one of those pampered people in Xicheng who is better than my son."

"Can you be a little bit good yourself, what if our son falls in love with that girl in the future, and people look down on us."

"It's kind of reasonable, alas... Why don't I move more when I work for the public office tomorrow? ”。

“...... Look at your little bit of talent! With Mother Lin's complaint, the spatula also fell directly to the table in the courtyard.

"I said Daddy, I didn't see you quarreling before, why did I go out for March, why are you both so bad-tempered" Lin Manliu saw his father and mother arguing in the courtyard, and was ready to come forward to persuade.

"Adults' affairs, children don't interfere" As a result, it was indeed his father and mother who said in unison, and Ye Dangting and Eleven, who found a bench under the eaves to sit together, smiled unconsciously when they saw this scene.

In this way, Lin Manliu's parents complained to each other, and gradually filled the table in the courtyard with food, many of which were dishes that teenagers could only eat during the New Year.

After returning home this time, everything is really better, my mother doesn't have to care about how much firewood is left, so that I can take a bath like the New Year, and there is no shortage and embarrassment in the past when eating, and the future days will be as good as today.

The sky was gloomy, and the moonlit night was near

The table in the courtyard was still a little smaller, and in the end, Lin Manliu and Ye Dang could only listen, the two were crowded to one side, the young man sat on the chair, and the old liar was squatting aside, and the other three sides of the table were naturally Lin Manliu's father and eleven.

"It seems that I will have to make a bigger table in the future, and now I can't sit anymore hahahaha," Father Lin picked up a little pickle and put it into his mouth, and said with a smile.

"Dad, don't worry, I'll go to the market with the old liar tomorrow to take a look, this time it's about to start summer, and it should be on the table for many days" Lin Manliu still had unfinished food in his mouth, and began to mumble and talk.

"You eat slowly, no one will rob you, this time you were busy before you traveled, and I didn't have time to give you a birthday, so I will make up for it today..."

"Aunt Lin also told me afterwards, I should have let you rest at that time, so that I could find a time to celebrate your birthday" Eleven sat opposite Mother Lin, her face was a little embarrassed, but after finishing speaking, she picked up some vegetables from a distance and put them in someone's bowl next to her, after all, there were some dishes that the person squatted and naturally couldn't clip.

"It's okay... It's okay! Lin Manliu said as he wanted to swallow the food in his mouth as soon as possible, almost choking.

"I told you to eat slowly, you kid is really, harmful, you're already fifteen years old... How could you be so careless," Mother Lin hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and patted her son on the back.

The boy drank a big bowl of water before he got his breath, and suddenly remembered something and said to his mother: "When I was outside, someone gave me a birthday, and I passed two at a time!" It's considered to have been given together next year...... It's sixteen now! ”。

Hearing this, Lin Manliu's father and mother were stunned and looked at each other.

"Who gave my family Xiaomanliu's birthday, did you meet that girl's family outside" Eleven suddenly looked at Lin Manliu with a wicked smile.

When asked by his master again, the young man did not rush to answer, but looked up at the sky first, this time his vision was not limited by the eaves of the courtyard, he seemed to see the vast world outside, somewhere in the far east, there was a figure dressed in blue and wearing a hat.

"Hmm—" The boy replied after a while.

As a result, Ye Dang beside him heard a miserable scream, followed by the master's question: "What is not good to learn, why did you follow him to learn some this, I see that you just didn't practice the sword well, start practicing it in the courtyard for me tomorrow!" ”。

Ye Dangting, who was originally squatting on the side, was pulling the food in his bowl, but he was suddenly kicked by Eleven from the side, and fell to the ground without squatting, but fortunately he didn't knock over the bowl.

Seeing this scene, Lin Manliu's father and mother couldn't help but be a little surprised, the eleventh girl who usually helps at home, how come since she saw this Ye Shaoxia, people are indeed a lot more lively, but they are indeed a little too lively? But that's fine, after all, it's the master of his own children.

After the boy finished laughing at the old liar beside him, he helped him to his feet, but his thoughts began to drift away again.

Miss Yue, I've returned to my hometown safely, I don't know how your trip to Jiangning is...
