Chapter 235: Wheat Ear Sees Everyone as a Rival
On that day, in Tubei Village, not only was the Su family filled with laughter, but the rest of the village was also filled with laughter.
It seems that the strongest backbone who had been traveling away has returned, and the village looks more vibrant and prosperous.
That night, the lights in the village were turned off the latest and people slept the best.
It was rare for Tianbao to get up late. He was woken up by a lively noise while he was still drowsy.
"Sister Tianbao, Sister Tianbao, wake up! Little Wheat Ear is here to play with you!"
"Sister Tianbao, the sun is shining on your butt. If you don't get up, you won't be able to absorb the energy in the morning!"
"Hey, why is the door still locked? The buns Mom made will get cold soon..."
Tianbao lay on the bed, with the corner of his mouth unconsciously curled up, but he didn't open his eyes.
Just as I was about to stay a little longer, I heard a creaking sound from the window facing the vegetable garden.
Sighing, Tianbao sat up and opened his eyes to see the open window. The little girl was trying to climb in using her hands and feet, her chubby little face flushed red.
"Little wheat ear, you'll fall down like this." She reached out and brought the little girl hanging on the windowsill in, scratching her little nose. "Sister, get up, stop yelling."
Little Wheat Ear raised his head, revealing his eight tiny teeth, and held the bun in his hand high. "Sister Tianbao, this is a big meat bun my mother made. It smells so good. I brought it specially for you. I was afraid it would get cold and not taste good, so I climbed through the window!"
After she finished speaking, the little girl's stomach growled.
Tianbao looked down at her, raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were full of teasing.
Xiaomai's face immediately turned red, and she hugged her belly shyly, "As soon as the buns came out of the pot, I wanted to give them to my sister to try first, and I forgot to eat them myself..."
Sister Tianbao is so beautiful!
He is her future husband, hehe!
"..." This girl has been clinging to her since she was little, and it has become even worse as she grows older. Tianbao feels helpless and funny.
She got up, dressed, and washed up before breaking open the meat buns the little girl had brought and feeding them the meat filling. Tianbao ate the bun skins clean. When she was about to ask her to leave, the little girl hugged her legs and said, "Sister Tianbao, can I take you out to play? You've been gone for five hundred and seventy-three days. Now that you're finally back, please spend more time with me!"
In the small courtyard, Old Man Su and Old Lady Su were turning over the harvested rice to dry in the sun. In the corner of the courtyard, Su Da and Su Er were rinsing their mouths. In the kitchen, three women were busy preparing breakfast. From time to time, the voice of Old Man Du ordering dishes could be heard.
The yawns and conversations of several teenagers in the next yard could also be heard through the wall.
At the entrance of the vegetable garden, a few energetic native chickens were pecking at the green leaves, occasionally making gurgling sounds in their throats.
Various sounds and movements come together to weave an ordinary warmth in the cold autumn morning.
Tian Bao looked at the little girl hanging on his legs and laughed softly. He reached out and picked her up, "Okay, I'll accompany you."
The elders of the Su family had heard the little wheat ears shouting a long time ago, and those childish words made them laugh.
Old Lady Su smiled and said, "It's still some time before breakfast, so let Little Wheat Ear take you to the village entrance for the morning market."
"Morning market?" Three heads popped up from the wall next door. Su An and Su Wen's eyes widened in surprise. "Grandma, when did the market open at the entrance of our village?"
Wei Li was also quite interested.
When they came back yesterday, they saw nothing at the village entrance.
Old Man Su deliberately kept the topic in suspense. "You little bastards keep running out all day. Don't you know how much our village has changed? Hahaha, go and see for yourself!"
…
All the way from their yard to the village entrance, the young men had a lot of food in their arms.
Boiled peanuts stuffed in by Xiao Liuzi, pancakes given by Uncle Dafu, dates given by Grandpa Mo, roasted yams from Uncle Xiaoxiao, and white flour buns from Aunt Wang...
When you arrive at the reed marsh, you can hear the noise from outside the village crawling over along the clear river water.
After passing through the camphor forest and walking less than a mile along the direction of the noise, you will see a small village in the valley on the left.
Each small stall has a sack base, on which are placed green vegetables still covered with dew, fresh fruits, small bags of rice and flour, steamers with small stoves emitting steam, freshly fried pancakes, and even a meat stall.
Most of the people setting up stalls are familiar faces in Tubei Village.
However, most of the people who come to the market are strangers.
There were neither too many nor too few people at the small market in the valley. Everyone was chatting and laughing while setting up stalls, making this valley particularly lively.
"That's great! We even have hot food and meat stalls. It seems our village is getting more and more prosperous." Su An bit a date, his mood as bright as the rising sun in the east.
Little Wheat Ear raised his chin with great pride. "My father proposed it. He said that since everyone has surplus goods, we should circulate them to benefit everyone. At first, the villagers were worried about not being able to sell their goods and not being able to buy what they wanted. But it wasn't long before Uncle Beard moved the branch office here. Most of the people who come to buy things every morning are from Wharf Twelve. Even the meat stall was brought in by them! The small market has been open for almost a year now, and more and more people from all around come here to shop in the morning. It will definitely be more lively in the future!"
Wei Li looked at the harmonious atmosphere of people's livelihood before him and curled his lips, "I never thought that the villagers and the people from the Twelve Piers would have such a harmonious day."
"Now, the Twelve Piers don't dare to bully our village. They are all polite to each other." Little Wheat Ear raised his chin even higher, trying his best to look at someone out of the corner of his eyes, with vigilance and hostility all over his body. "Don't talk to me!"
Hearing this, Wei Li was amused and deliberately teased this junior sister whom he had just met, "Why?"
"You and Bai Yu are both my rivals in love! I'm telling you, Sister Tianbao is mine, and neither of you is allowed to snatch her from me!"
Daddy said that Sister Tianbao was not hers, but Little Wheat Ear disagreed. From then on, she thought that anyone who appeared next to Sister Tianbao was a rival in love.
Among the five people who grew up with her sister, except for her three biological brothers, she doesn’t have to be on guard against Bai Yu and Wei Li!
When her rivals meet, they are extremely jealous of each other, and she doesn't talk to them!
Tian Bao reached out and pinched the little girl's chin, which was tilted up to the sky. "Listen carefully, this sister is from the Xiao Su family."
Xiao Mi Sui immediately said, "I will also be part of the Su family in the future!"
Wei Li, "..."
Su An and Su Wen wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. This little ancestor from the master's family must not be from their family. With such a temper, no one can stand it in the future. Let him bring harm to other families.
Since they had already eaten on the way here, they walked around the market but didn't buy anything.
There was no rush to go home.
Take a walk in the miasmic forest, look at the reed marshes, listen to the flowing river, and smell the fragrance of the soil in the rice fields.
Here, there is a peace that cannot be found in the outside world, which makes people feel particularly peaceful.
"Wei Li, it's been seven years since you left, right? You've even been promoted to major general in the military camp. How does it feel to go to the battlefield and kill enemies?" Su An asked casually with a smile as they sat by the river, basking in the morning light.
Su Wen also said, "There has been no news from you over the years. Knowing that it must be inconvenient for you to pass on information to your family, your family misses you even more. Grandpa and grandma would mention you every now and then, but later they stopped mentioning you and would always sigh as they looked towards Yanxia Pass."
Tian Bao added, "Now I am the senior cavalry captain."
Wei Li turned his head, glanced at the girl's beautiful and calm face in the sunlight, and smiled softly.
He applied for his professional title when he was at the Yudu Ancient Road. When she looked at him, she seemed not to have heard it.
It turns out that he heard it.
