Chapter 534: Handshake and Peace
The children are back.
After watching the excitement, the villagers went back to their homes and did not gather in the Su family courtyard again.
After two years of pain, they were finally happy and no one had the heart to disturb them.
In the Su family courtyard, a row of young people sitting on small stools stared at Tianbao intently.
The old man with a bird's nest hair stood with his hands behind his back, walking in circles around these people, staring at them intently.
"The boy is handsome, the girl is pretty, it's just passable..." The old man felt that he could accept it reluctantly, and asked tentatively, "Are you also my grandchildren?"
Wheat Ear's eyes were red and swollen, and his mouth was flat and he wanted to cry, "Of course it is! Old man, you have been watching me grow up since I was born. I have fought, cursed, and stolen with you. How come you even forgot about me? Wuwuwu——"
The old man immediately smiled, "Yes, yes, from what you said, you must be my granddaughter! Your eloquence is only slightly worse than mine and Tianbao's! Don't cry, it's so ugly, grandpa will remember you soon!"
After making such a bold statement, the old man raised his hand and rubbed the little girl's head awkwardly.
Oh my, it feels so good to have a house full of children and grandchildren!
Seeing the old man like this, Xiaomai's heart ached. She turned her head and cried loudly in her mother's arms again.
Mrs. Huo stroked her daughter's head, choking with sobs and scolding, "You bad girl, you've been gone for two years, and now you come back and wipe your snot and tears on me. You really have no conscience!"
"Mom, Dad, I'm sorry, woooo!"
"Alright, alright, stop crying. Mom didn't scold you..."
On the other side, Su Wen, Su Wu, and Wei Li were still staring at Tian Bao. Tian Bao was already getting impatient, "I'm alive, stop looking at me, or I'll leave."
"These injuries must have been very painful at the time, right?" Wei Li opened his mouth, his throat blocked and his voice very hoarse.
Tian Bao casually touched the scar on his face. "It doesn't hurt. When I woke up, only the scar was left."
It was a very sad occasion. Su Wen and Su Wu were so shocked that they wanted to laugh because of their sister. "Too many scars. There are several on your face alone. You have become an ugly girl, Tianbao—Ouch!"
He Daxiang and Su Er had been standing by, waiting for an opportunity to beat up the two unfilial sons, and they would never let go of the chance once it came.
He Daxiang slapped him and gritted his teeth, "You two are still brothers? Can you talk? Can you talk?"
"..." Su Wen and Su Wu didn't dare to hide at all. The stick in their father's hand was ready to hit them as soon as they hid.
Tianbao grinned and hissed, feeling the pain for them, "It's okay, I don't rely on my looks to make a living."
“…”
Now, not only Su Wen and Su Wu couldn't bear it anymore, even the elders couldn't hold it anymore and let out muffled laughter.
Grandpa Su's face was full of wrinkles from smiling, and he looked more and more energetic, with a rosy face.
Although Sua Nai can't see, she can hear and can imagine what the scene is just by what she hears.
No matter how many years have passed, whether he remembers or not, Tianbao is still the same Tianbao, and his personality has not changed at all.
He does things neatly and efficiently, speaks decisively and concisely, and is very touching.
"Xiao Wen, Xiao Wu, and Ali are all back. I think Xiao An should be here soon," Su Da said, looking at the scene in front of him with a face full of relief. "Second brother, don't throw away your stick after you use it. Give it to me. I can use it right away."
Before Su Er could say anything, Su Wu quickly snatched the small stick from his father's hand, turned around and found a bigger one and stuffed it into his hand, "Uncle, the eldest brother is the boss, so use the bigger one to greet him!"
Everyone, “…”
Su Er's mouth twitched, and he directly took up the stick, "I'll deal with you first!"
Bai Yu was gloating under the eaves as he applied medicine to his wounds. He sarcastically said to Su Wen and Su Wu, who were howling in pain from being beaten, "What do you call this? We're all in this together, so it's both you and me!"
The bustle in the miasma forest reappeared in the Su family courtyard.
Laughter, scolding and cries of pain drifted to every corner of the village.
Since it’s not time for dinner yet and they are bored, the villagers pull up a stool and sit in front of their own courtyard door. They can still join in the fun and continue to chat leisurely.
"Da Li, I bet you a roasted sweet potato, this is going to be a noisy day!"
"What's so good about this? As long as Tianbao and the others are here, every day will be lively. Let's go to the inner city to drink with Brother Zhao tomorrow."
"Go! And bring back some cloth to make two new clothes for the kids at home for the New Year!"
"Uncle, please bring me some candied fruit when you come back. My wife loves sweets lately..."
"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Liu'er is almost going to be a father! Oh my! He's already beaten your brother Su and the others to the lead, hahaha!"
Across the loess road, everyone was chatting happily in low voices, when suddenly a flash of light appeared before my eyes.
call out--
A shadow flew past.
Whoosh—
Two more shadows flew past.
"Sister! Grandpa Du! Wuuwuwu! Are you really back? I missed you so much—Grandpa Du?!" The woman who rushed into the Su family's yard first was so surprised that she forgot to move forward and was thrown flat on her face by inertia. She still raised her head, staring at the familiar face in the yard, tears streaming down her face. "Sister didn't lie to Bing'er, she didn't lie to me. Sister and Grandpa Du are back, and Grandma is also back..."
The moment she heard the voice, Madam Lu stood up from the small stool. Her eyes fell on the fully grown pretty face, and her eyes were also filled with tears.
Bai Yu also stood up at the same time as her, acting as if nothing had happened and preparing to slip away quietly.
Just as he turned around, two dark shadows fell from the sky.
On the left, Su An gnashed his teeth, his face distorted. "Bai! Yu! If I don't deal with you today, I will be the turtle in the Red Water River!!"
On the right, Bai Xiaofeng raised his lips and smiled murderously, "How dare you send someone to steal wine from under my bed? You really only care about food and not punishment, Yu! Son!"
白彧视线飞快晃了晃，悄悄往生门移动，“干爹，二师兄，你们瞧我这张脸已经被揍得不能看了，这样，打个商量，把账记到下回行不行？”
The people on both sides rushed towards him and sneered, "What do you think?"
"..." Bai Yu ran away, "You are so cold-blooded and heartless!"
…
Bai Yu was hunted for three days, and the village was as lively as New Year's Day every day.
The boys and girls felt relieved, and all the anger that had been pent up in their hearts was released. They were finally able to sit down and talk properly.
"After Grandpa Du and Tianbao came back, they started treating Grandma Su's eyes. Now she can see blurry lights and shadows, and she should be fine before the New Year. Grandpa Su's depression caused him to collapse, but now that he's in a better mood, he's recovered without medication."
In the small courtyard, Bai Yu lay on a bamboo chair, applying medicine to himself with his dark eyes open. Wherever he pressed his fingers, it was painful.
Su Wu rolled his eyes, snatched the medicine bottle from his hand, dipped some ointment in it and applied it to him, "Isn't that possible? You can't stand such a small flesh wound and have to cry out?"
"This bastard is always good at playing the victim and pretending to be pitiful. He just grunted twice and all the pig's trotters cooked by my aunt went into his bowl!" Su Wen still felt itchy when he thought of this, but the elders in the family just fell for Bai Yu's tricks.
"Isn't he an asshole? He passed a message to me on the river, and then ran away! If you had given me a ride, I could have come back two days earlier!" Su An was lying on another bamboo chair like Bai Yu. His body was covered with wounds, just like Bai Yu's. They were all caused by his parents beating him. "Xiao Wu, save the ointment and apply some to me too. Ouch, it hurts...hiss, my dad didn't hold back at all this time!"
Su Wen and Su Wu both pointed at the bruises on their faces and asked, "Who has it better than you?"
"Puchi! Chichi!" Wei, the only one who was intact, was sitting next to them, laughing so hard that he couldn't help laughing.
Hearing the laughter, four pairs of eyes turned coldly towards him at the same time.
The man surnamed Wei relied on his good title and was so busy working for the country and the people that he was exhausted. When he came back, he didn't suffer any hardship, and the elders kept saying that Wei Li had worked hard.
Comparing yourself to others will make you feel nauseous.
Sensing something unfriendly, Wei Li wisely pursed his lips, but there was still a smile in his eyes.
Bai Yu snorted, stretched out his hand in the air, and glanced at the people around him, "We've fought and scolded each other, and the anger should have been vented. Shake hands and make peace?"
The other four were silent for a moment, then they all started laughing and placed their palms on the back of Bai Yu's hands one by one.
"Forget it. Everyone is having a hard time, and you're not the only one at fault."
"Let bygones be bygones!"
"Forever good brothers!"
"Together we work together!"
In the main hall, the elders looked at the scene outside with smiles on their faces.
