Chapter 638 The Su Family is Wutong Wood
In August, Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.
The evening sky was covered with gorgeous sunset glow, and Tubei Village was surrounded by purple and red glow, peaceful and harmonious.
Smoke curls up from the village, laughter can be heard in the distance, the woody fragrance of burning firewood mixed with the aroma of food, and everywhere is filled with the soothing smell of fireworks.
"Hey kids! Broken Knife, my son! Grandpa is back! Hehehehe!"
The old man's familiar eerie laugh drifted into the village from the entrance.
Then there were cheers one after another, "Grandpa and Grandma! Dad and Mom! Uncle Broken Knife! I'm back too!"
"I've brought you something good, come out and greet them!"
"Village kids, gather together! There are so many delicious and fun things to do!"
The villagers all jumped at the sound, sticking their heads out of the yard, smiling brightly, "Du Lao, Chang Dong! Tian Bao! A Yu! Xiao Wu, Xiao Mai Sui! You're all back!"
Bai Xiaofeng was flying in the air, his moon-colored robe flowing elegantly. When he heard the word "Changdong", the corners of his flowing robe stiffened.
He used a large hidden weapon to accurately hit the village messenger who called him Changdong, "Humph."
Wang Chuan hurriedly caught the thing that hit his face and took a look. It was a package. After opening it, he saw two pieces of fine blue cotton cloth wrapped inside.
He laughed and raised the package, "Changdong, thank you!"
The man who flew away gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up!"
"Hahahaha!" There was laughter all around.
Not only Wang Chuan received gifts, but every household in the village received one.
Du Lao Tou, Su Wu, and Xiao Mai Sui were carrying large and small bags and throwing things into the farmhouses on both sides of the village along the way.
Bai Yu and Tian Bao were both covered in stuff, but because of their temperament and aura, they looked like kings parading in sacks.
This time when they came back, they brought gifts for the villagers, most of which were to express their gratitude.
Outsiders only think that the villagers living in Tubei Village enjoy the best protection, but the Su family children are running around all year round, and it is the villagers who have always been with their elders at home.
Helping with various trivial matters and visiting to chat from time to time is inconspicuous but real.
It is these villagers who make the daily lives of our grandparents more comfortable.
Tianbao remembers it all.
The men and women who received the gifts were surprised and happy. They each showed off the gifts they had received, and no one politely refused, as that would be awkward.
On the other side, the children in the village were so happy when they heard the shouts of Du Grandpa coming back. They rushed out of their yards and jumped and ran towards the old man, "Du Grandpa, what delicious food did you bring us?"
The old man stood in the middle of the road with his hands on his hips. When the kids gathered around him, he raised his chin and squinted his eyes, "You only think about food, what a bunch of greedy cats!"
His fierceness only lasted for a moment before he smiled triumphantly again, reaching into the package and taking handfuls of food out. "Grandpa brought you good stuff! Come on, everyone has a share. Don't fight over it, there's plenty. If it's not enough, I'll buy more for you next time!"
Peanuts, broken chestnut cakes, thumb-sized biscuits, sesame balls, melon candies... There are a wide variety of snacks and the quantity is very generous.
Year after year, the two older kids squeezed in among the younger children, already acting like the kings of the children. "Grandpa Du, we miss you the most, much more than we miss food!"
"Hey, these peanuts are so fragrant and crispy, so delicious! Poisonous Grandpa, here, try one!"
The other kids smiled and followed suit, "This sesame ball is delicious too! Du Grandpa, let me feed you!"
"Chestnut cake, it's so soft and delicious, Grandpa Du, you can eat it too!"
"I want to be fed too! I want to be fed too! Poisonous Grandpa, eat my shortbread!"
The old man's mouth was stuffed full, he was shaking his head and shoulders, and his triangular eyes were narrowed into slits due to smiling.
There was a crowd of people standing at the gate of the Su family's yard.
Grandpa Su and Grandma Su stood side by side in the front, followed slightly behind them by Madam Lu, Duan Dao, Huo Ziheng and his wife, and Bai Kui.
Behind them were the couples Su Da and Su Er. Because of the generation difference, the bearded man and his wife Su Xiu'er stood at the end, feeling uncomfortable.
Next to him were Su An and Bing'er, the youngest members of the Su family.
On the walls and roofs, there are Mo Cang, Shi Ying and Wang Bai's family of three, as well as the Mo family's magic weapons.
After distributing the gifts in her hands, Tian Baoqia walked to the door of her home and met a pair of kind and smiling eyes. Tian Bao unconsciously curled the corners of her lips, "Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, Uncle Duan Dao, Master and his wife... I'm back."
The sunset glow in the sky gradually faded, and night fell. Behind the Su family, a warm yellow light shone from the courtyard, softly illuminating that space.
Tianbao felt at ease.
Her home.
Her relatives.
All she cared about.
It's all here, within reach, healthy and in good shape.
This is where she comes from.
It is also her home.
The phoenix can soar into the sky when it spreads its wings, and the Su family is like the paulownia tree, the only place she wants to live.
…
Tianbao and his group returned home, and Tubei Village was more lively than ever that night.
The lights of hundreds of houses shine against the stars in the sky, and the sounds of villagers chatting and laughing can be heard everywhere.
On the yellow mud road outside the yard, little kids were running and jumping back and forth, talking in childish words.
Everyone seemed to realize that this time when Tianbao and the others came back was different from other times.
This time when I come back, I won’t just stay for a while and then run away again.
I won't leave again.
The Su family's dining table was set up in the yard, candles were lit on the table, and they ate around the table in the night.
The children had sent a letter to inform us before they came back, so the family started preparing a sumptuous meal early, just waiting for them to come back.
"Knowing you'll be home soon, Grandpa and Grandma bought a lot of food at the market. Uncle Bai even brought some Wangquelou wine from the city, and Uncle Bearded bought some big, fat fish from the fishing village... Aunt, Mother, Second Aunt, and Mrs. Huo have been busy in the kitchen for ages, preparing a delicious meal! Sister, Sui'er, you should eat more!"
Bing'er's belly was already noticeable, and when she sat down it was like she was holding a small basin in her arms, causing the wheat ears to frequently peek over, and not feeling it was enough, they even reached out to touch it gently.
Bing'er was so itchy that she giggled.
The elders couldn't help laughing when they saw this.
Liu Yuelan smiled and did not forget to pick up some food for her daughter. "This is the fish that Mom cooked myself. Your aunt was there to give her some advice. It tastes better than before. Try it."
Tianbao took the fish in a bowl, and the delicious smell of fish immediately rushed to her nose. Her face changed slightly for no apparent reason, and an uncontrollable feeling of acid reflux surged in her stomach.
"vomit--"
The laughter and joy at the table immediately disappeared.
The chopsticks on the table seemed frozen in time and motionless.
Little Wheat Ear was confused and frowned in worry, "Sister, are you feeling unwell?"
The women said, "Tianbao, are you going to vomit?"
The chopsticks in the old man's hand flew away, and the next moment his fingers touched Tianbao's wrist, "Grandpa is going to have a little great-grandson!"
Dang, dang—Bai Yu’s fingers, which were frozen in mid-air, loosened and his chopsticks hit the bowl.
Tianbao, “…”
Tianbao looked confused for the first time, and looked around at faces with various expressions.
So magical.
