Under the dim oil lamp, a pair of old eyes were not dim at the moment, but looked at the cramped young man sitting opposite. "Ah Hu, alas, let's call you Ah Hu for the time being. Are you really a martial arts master? They say your name is Xi Zhen, I don't think it's a good name, I think it's better to call you Ah Hu. Alas, you were really fast, maybe they were right. Why did you become like this? I don't think you're going to go into any kind of rivers and lakes, fighting and killing all day long. Come with your grandfather to learn how to make pottery, learn your grandfather's craft, and in the future, your grandfather will tell you about your daughter-in-law. As he spoke, the old man slowly lowered his brows, as if he was looking forward to telling the baby about his daughter-in-law. As he spoke, a smile slowly appeared on his face, and he began to hum a minor tune that only he could understand.

Seeing that the old man was in a good mood, the young man also grinned, calling his grandfather vaguely in his mouth, and fiddling with the wine bowl in front of the old man in his hand.

"What? you want to take a bite too?" said the old man, turning around and taking out a small bowl and pouring a small cup. The young man quickly snatched the small bowl and drank it all, still grinning at the old man and smirking. The old man looked at the young man with a smile, and said with a smile: "What does it taste like? You don't know what it tastes like drinking, just like you drinking water, can you understand what wine is?" Then he took a sip, squinted his eyes and enjoyed it: "This is the taste of wine, this glass of wine, any troubles and pains will disappear." But Ah Hu, don't be greedy, don't be a drunkard like your grandfather. But then again, wine is not all good things, and the water is more flowing when the knife is drawn, and the sorrow is even more sorrowful when the glass is raised!"

Pei Feng looked at the scene in front of him from afar, tears welled up: how nice it would be if he wasn't, such a harmonious scene, isn't it the life he dreamed of?

The morning sun shone on the earth, and the earth glowed with a golden halo. The crow of chickens enlivened the village, and the dogs of the vigil curled up by the door, basking in the sun and falling asleep – a hard night's vigil to rest. At this time, the seedlings in the paddy fields are pumping their torsos hard, trying to grow up. Taking advantage of the morning when the sun is not very sharp, the hard-working people are on crutches and plough back and forth in the paddy fields with their feet, trying to trample the barnyard grass that competes with the seedlings for nutrients into the mud and turn it into fertilizer.

The young man happily carried two buckets, hummed tunes, and walked happily on the road, he wanted to carry water for his grandfather. Bathed in the sun, the boy seemed to be in a good mood, as if the flowers and plants around him were laughing at him. One moment he smelled the flowers, and the next he raised a hand to catch the butterfly that he had startled.

There is a large well in the village, which people have relied on for generations to drink and irrigate. The concept of water was sacred, and a large pond was dug around the well. The water in the pond is clear and rippling. A water chestnut leaf is laid on sleep, and every now and then a frog jumps over it.

The boy passed by the pond, looked down at his reflection in the water, and unconsciously pointed to the reflection and laughed. Then he looked around again, and saw that there was no one, so he put down the burden on his shoulders and jumped into the pond with a thud. The water is really cool and really comfortable, and it can wash away all the dirt and annoyance.

When the boy poked his head out of the water, the swarthy face of the boy was gone, and what appeared to the world was a handsome and stylish face. Although he looked thin, he was still young, healthy and tense, and although his eyes were still so blank, his joyful expression brought vitality to his eyes.

He seemed to be enjoying what he was seeing, but what he didn't expect was that a bucket on the shore was pouring water on his head. There was a bang, and with the impact of the water, there was a girl's silver bell-like laughter. The boy looked at the girl on the shore, wasn't this the girl who had the sword that night? The boy looked at the girl on the shore in a daze, as if all the beauty of the world was less than half of hers.

When the woman saw the young man staring at herself like this, she instantly blushed and said angrily: "What do you see, by the way, my name is Pei Feng, the phoenix of the phoenix, what is your name?"

The young man was disgusted, and he instantly became shy, looked around, and said vaguely: "Ah...... Tiger. ”

Pei Feng laughed and said: "I see, where are you called Ah Hu, you are clearly a loach fish in the water, that is, a loach fish playing in the water." ”

Ah Hu grinned, just smirking. Seeing Pei Feng smiling back and forth, he took advantage of his unpreparedness and suddenly jumped from the water to the shore, holding a handful of water in both hands, and splashed it on Pei Feng's face. Pei Feng was caught off guard, was drenched in water, and raised his fist to beat him in anger. The two of them are by the pond, and you are chasing me on the ridge, like a pair of childhood sweethearts who have not been seen for a long time.

Peng Laohan leaned against the door, squinting at this scene, smiling like a flower on his face: "Ah Hu, you are the happiest you." ”

Back at the kiln factory, Ah Hu poured water into the water tank, and the old man said with a smile: "Ah Hu, fortunately grandpa still has wine, otherwise when your water comes to quench his thirst, grandpa will die of thirst!"

Ah Hu hurriedly ran to the old man's side and waved his hand frantically to expect Ai Ai to say, "Grandpa, grandpa is not dead, grandpa will not die." ”

The old man laughed and said: "This rabbit cub, it's good, Ah Hu is good, grandpa won't die, grandpa knows that Ah Hu is the most filial." Go, go and bring the porridge. Seeing that Pei Feng also came back, he said: "Don't go out of the kiln today, Ah Hu, grandpa will go to the forest to catch some rabbits and come back to drink." You're going to help grandpa get some wine after dinner, okay?"

Ah Hu nodded for a while, hurriedly brought out the porridge and pickles, and put the old man's wine jar beside him. The old man turned his head to Pei Feng and said, "Miss Feng, how about accompanying my old man to see what happened last night?"

Pei Feng looked at Ah Hu and nodded. Ah Hu saw that this beautiful girl was no longer fierce, and he had already forgotten all about what happened a few days ago. The heart is like a child, love comes quickly, hate goes quickly, as long as anyone can be happy with him, he is a good person.

In the woods, Pei Feng and Peng Laohan walked side by side, rustling on the newborn grass. Although Peng Laohan is old and looks like he is old, he is not slow at all when he walks in the mountains, and he is not struggling at all. Pei Feng looked at Peng Laohan in surprise and said, "Senior, have you ever practiced light skills?"

Peng Laohan raised his head and said with a smile: "Miss Feng, what seniors are not seniors, we countrymen don't talk about that." If you don't dislike it, just call me grandpa like Ah Hu. ”

After Pei Feng heard this, her face instantly turned red to the root of her ears, and she called him grandpa just like him. Thinking of this, he blushed and nodded and shouted softly: "Grandpa." ”

Peng Laohan didn't look back, but sighed as if he could sense all this, and then said eloquently: "Half a month ago, the old man and I were drying last year's bitter beech in front of the house, thinking about making some bitter beech tofu to drink in a few days. Who knew that Ah Hu walked over with a blank expression, stared at the bitter beech in my hand, and reached out to grab it and put it in his mouth. I thought, whose child is this, how did it become like this, quickly take him home, and hand him a few sweet potatoes that he boiled. His gobbling energy, the old man feels sad when I think about it now. ”

When Pei Feng heard this, a stream of tears had already rushed to his eyes, and he fell down in an instant. Peng Laohan found a stone and sat down, beat his leg and continued: "Later, Ah Hu didn't leave, I thought he would leave that night, but I didn't expect to wake up the next morning and see him sleeping soundly under the eaves. I have no children and no daughters, how can I bear it when I see this child so pitiful? Since then, I have called him Ah Hu with all my might, and he has also accepted it vigorously. Although he never spoke, I knew he was happy. ”

This son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, sleeping in the open is the norm, but when he heard Peng Laohan say this, Pei Feng immediately remembered how he was lying under the eaves of others. I don't even know how many rolls of eyes and angry scolding he has experienced, let alone why he became like this overnight. The heart is even more painful, the liver and intestines are broken, if it weren't for Peng Laohan's presence, he must have burst into tears.

How could Peng Laohan not know this? He had already seen everything from Pei Feng's expression, he didn't say anything, but continued: "Later, my grandfather and son depended on each other like this, and he brought me so much joy. Although I vaguely knew that he didn't belong here, he had a lot to do yet. Especially when he rescued me from the girl's sword that night, I knew he wouldn't belong here after all. I also thought about passing on my pottery-making skills to him, and telling him about my daughter-in-law in the future!"

Pei Feng didn't know what to say, so he could only hold Peng Laohan's slightly trembling hand, his eyes full of gratitude.
