Chapter 185 Warm Gossip
Xiaobao, who had been talked about for so long, finally came home. Old Mrs. Su personally took her two daughters-in-law and daughter into the kitchen to get busy.
Killing chickens and fish, I am busy and happy.
The guys were still clinging to the old man and refused to leave, arguing with him so much that the old man was getting overwhelmed.
"Grandpa Du, what took you and Tianbao so long to come back? Xiaowu and I arrived home in September, and Big Brother was only a few days behind us!"
"Isn't it? I thought you guys would just stay out for a few more days because of your playfulness, but now I've been waiting. I almost thought something happened to you guys out there and you wouldn't be able to come back!"
"Needless to say, he must have taken Tianbao and Baiyu out to play, fighting against the strong and helping the weak, robbing the rich and giving to the poor! Du Ye, if you do good things, at least help yourself a little. Look at you and Tianbao...you came back from begging?"
The old man couldn't stand the last sentence and slapped the three boys on the buttocks.
If it weren't for Tianbao and Xiuer, these three brats would have been crying for their parents, huh!
But the herb garden is indeed well-maintained! It's a lush green garden with all kinds of medicinal herbs growing beautifully.
Xiu'er dried and processed the ripe medicinal herbs, sorted them into different categories and put them in his pharmacy so that he could use them at any time.
The old man is thinking of adding some good stuff to the medicine garden next year and letting Xiu'er take care of it, which will save him trouble and worry, hehe!
There was still some time before dinner, so after returning home and being hugged by grandma and mother, Tianbao went to his master's house across the street.
The master's wife gave birth to a baby, and she wanted to go and see it.
When I come back, I have to pay my respects to my master and his wife. She understands that this is the courtesy and respect of a disciple.
There was a small basket placed at the door of the Huo family's main hall. The bottom of the basket was padded with a soft cloth, and the little baby was sleeping inside. He was wearing a small white singlet, with a thin sheet covering his belly. His eyes were closed, and his nose moved slightly with his breathing.
Small face, small nose, small mouth, small hands.
Everything is small.
Tianbao leaned over the edge of the basket and looked at it with curiosity on his face, "Master's wife, the little junior sister is so small."
She compared and found that the junior sister's finger was only half the size of hers.
So amazing!
Mrs. Huo sat next to the basket. As the sun was about to set and the rays were not piercing, she brought her daughter here to bask in the sun.
The woman with slightly harsh facial features now has a softer look. Even her usually sharp eyes have softened a lot. Her figure has also become rounder after giving birth to a child. She looks more approachable than before.
Having a daughter is enough for everyone. Mrs. Huo smiled. "Don't you see how old your little sister is? Four and a half months old, how can she not be small? When you first came to Tubei Mountain, you were also four or five months old, the same as your little sister."
"Was I this small when I was a child?" The girl was even more surprised. She couldn't imagine what she looked like as a child.
Mrs. Huo raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of smiles. "You're so small! I don't even dare to use force when holding you, for fear of strangling you!"
Mrs. Huo recalled the time when she held Tianbao in her arms when he was little. He was so small and soft, so light and weightless, and his whole body smelled of milk.
At that time, she was determined to have a daughter.
Now that she really has a daughter, she can't get enough of looking at her every day. She doesn't want to do anything else but stay around her daughter, and the man has to step back.
Huo Ziheng was also sitting by the door, forced by his wife to bask in the sun together, saying that it was to prevent his daughter from seeing too little of him and becoming less affectionate with him in the future.
Huo Ziheng was waving a palm-leaf fan, looking at the scene in front of him, and a satisfied smile unconsciously appeared in his eyes.
I have a wife, a daughter, a group of smart, sensible and grateful disciples, and a place to live. That's all I want.
He reached out and stroked Tianbao's little head, "How do you feel about going out this time?"
Tian Bao nodded heavily, "Yes! The people in Changjing are so cunning!"
Huo Ziheng and Mrs. Huo were both stunned, and then they both laughed.
The third son of the Su family told them everything that happened in Changjing as soon as he came back. Now Tianbao gave such an evaluation, which was really pertinent.
The man smiled and rubbed her head again. "No one in the court is simple-minded. You fell into someone's trap this time. It's not because you're not smart enough, but because you haven't had enough experience and knowledge. Only by going out and seeing more can you understand that there are thousands of plans in this world. Only with knowledge can you find solutions. Don't worry, you are still young, and the future is long."
Bai Yu came to Tubei Village again that night, went home to have a meal, take a bath and change into clean clothes, and came specifically to visit his master and mistress, and to see his junior sister.
After that, he didn't go back. He stayed in the old man's yard for one night. When he woke up the next day, he had several huge mosquito bites on his face.
That night, after the children fell asleep, a group of adults brought small stools and sat in the Su family's courtyard, laughing happily under the starry sky.
Old Lady Su couldn't stop smiling. "It's different after a trip to broaden your horizons. The kids have changed a lot since they came back. Their eyes are brighter, and their spirits have soared."
Old Man Su's face was filled with satisfaction and contentment. "The children have a group of masters teaching them, so they will definitely have a better future than us."
"Needless to say?" Su Dadao said, "Su Er and I don't have such an opportunity. If we hadn't been exiled this time, the largest place we would have seen in our lifetime would be the town outside Dahuai Village."
Su Er laughed grimly, "We used to discuss going to the county town privately, but we never made the trip after several years. Every time we backed out before leaving, we didn't have the courage. We were afraid that if we went to a big city, we might offend rich people and not even be able to return home."
Talking about the past, the two brothers sighed and felt fortunate.
Fortunately, I have Tianbao. Fortunately, after coming here, I have met so many capable people who seem to have bad faces but act with bottom line principles.
Liu Yuelan sat with He Daxiang and Su Xiuer, and the three young women all had smiles on their faces.
Liu Yuelan and He Daxiang understand best the worries a mother has when her children are away from home. Now that the children are all back safely, they can finally put their minds at ease.
He Daxiang poked Su Xiu'er and said, "Xiu'er, you've become quite skilled at growing herbs now. I see you even know how to prepare them. I want to learn from you. The children have grown in skills, and as a mother, I also want to grow in skills and learn more!"
Liu Yuelan's eyes lit up, "Xiu'er, let me help you. At least I can recognize some herbs and have some basic skills. I don't have to eat the herbs I dug up as wild vegetables like before!"
"Pfft!" Su Xiu'er couldn't help laughing. She was also part of these old embarrassing stories. "Okay, I'll go to the herb garden every morning. From now on, after watering the vegetable garden, we'll go to the herb garden together. I'll teach you how to identify medicinal herbs!"
The women were whispering and laughing, and the old couple and two men nearby would occasionally hear a word or two and then burst into laughter.
The moon above my head began to wax and wane, and in a few days it would be the full moon again.
Just like their good life now, everything goes smoothly and perfectly.
