Chapter 404: Xiao Ba, what did you say?
She couldn't help laughing.
Having lived in this village for such a long time, Shen Xiu'e is about to integrate into the ranks of rural old ladies!
Hahaha! Really happy. In order to make Shen Xiu'e less bored every day and most importantly to exercise more, she specially choreographed a square dance for her.
Since she happily learned it, every night after dinner, she would carry her radio to the village entrance and dance with a group of old ladies. The lineup became more and more powerful, so much so that even old ladies from other villages would come early after dinner to wait for them!
Of course, Hua Auntie can't be missed either.
Shen Xiu'e is so happy every day, she is so cheerful every day, she even feels that she is several years younger!
Every time I call Zhao Huili, I become extremely jealous of her.
I wish I could retire as soon as possible, take a bus to Eastern Province, and join her in square dancing.
Zhou Runde was also happy. He was happier than anyone else to see his wife so happy.
However, Grandpa Zhou's health has been getting worse day by day. Two years ago, he could not get out of bed. If he had not had a good nanny to take care of him, he would have been tortured to death if he still lived in the Zhou family's old house.
Therefore, even though Mr. Zhou's health was very poor at this time, his complexion still looked very good.
Every day after get off work, Zhou Runde would sit with him, read the newspaper, and feed him dinner.
Mr. Zhou was also very happy, but a little confused.
According to the nanny, he kept mumbling about his youth and even kept calling out "Gui Fen!"
Zhou Runde thought that he was probably thinking about his stepmother.
But the nanny said that after he repeated it a few times, he would become silent again.
Zhou Runde sent people to invite Li Guifen several times, but she was unwilling to come.
Since she didn't even want to see the old man, he didn't force her.
He had no good feelings towards that family at all.
It’s better not to come!
He will be retiring by the end of the year, and after retirement he will be able to accompany his grandfather on this final journey.
Ever since Zhou Wanyu learned about her mother's life in Eastern Province, she has been extremely envious.
Nowadays, there are many chain stores of hair salons. Each chain store has a responsible store manager and deputy store manager, and the accounts also have special financial connections. In fact, she and Sun Hongmei are no longer needed.
Moreover, Sun Hongmei is going to marry Axing at the end of the year.
The two of them got together unknowingly, and by the time Zhou Wanyu found out, they were already a couple.
Of course, Zhou Wanyu was naturally happy for Hongmei to find her other half in life.
But she inevitably felt a little lost.
Mainly because she saw people around her getting married and having children, but she was a woman who couldn't even give birth.
Zhou Wanyu suddenly made a decision. She decided to go to Dong Province to find Song Shiwei!
When Sun Hongmei heard her decision, she immediately agreed.
Anyway, the business is now on the right track, so it doesn't matter if she is not here.
Besides, she and Ah Xing were both aware of her situation and felt a little sorry for her.
"Go ahead, you'll have a lot of fun there. Here, A-Xing and I will take care of everything! You can just wait and count the money every month like Weiwei!"
In fact, she had another idea in her heart, which was that she hoped Wanyu could walk around more, see more, and relax. At the same time, she also hoped that she could find a soul mate who truly understood and loved her.
Zhou Runde, in particular, heard that his daughter wanted to go to Eastern Province, and without saying a word, he called his grandson over.
Go to Dong Province, he is familiar with it!
He was worried about his daughter traveling so far by herself, so he was selfish again and took advantage of the fact that he hadn't retired yet and his grandson was still his driver to let him take the trouble to drive her there.
Why would my grandson disagree?
He really wanted to go to Eastern Province again.
I haven’t tasted Song Shiwei’s craftsmanship for a long time, I really miss it!
They set out on the journey to Eastern Province, while Song Shiwei went into the mountains to look for Old Li and a few other kids.
I heard from Shen Xiu'e that Old Li took the four little kids to dig out bird nests again today.
This mountain behind is neither a steep mountain nor a deep mountain. It is just a small hill that is slightly higher than the levee.
Many villagers go up the mountain to collect things.
Old Li is the same, he often goes to collect herbs and get some honey!
Of course, he didn't dare to cause any trouble with a few kids in tow.
It is still possible to dig out bird nests.
The kids were also happy.
Following behind him, I would pull some grass and pick some wood ear mushrooms.
These things were picked by Old Li and his friends.
Even though they are young, they all remember it!
Of course, if we were to say who remembers it best, it would definitely be Xiao Ba. Even Old Li didn't think of it.
Although this child doesn't talk, he learns things very quickly.
Every time he taught them to recognize things, Xiao Ba was the one who learned the most seriously.
Xiao Ba remembered everything he said to the kids afterwards while picking herbs.
If he found herbs he had picked before, he would stand aside and not leave.
Old Li knew instantly that he had discovered the herbal medicine!
Every time this happened, he couldn't help but touch his head and praise him with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Our Xiaoba is really smart!"
Among these four little guys, the most mischievous ones are Xiaowu and Xiaoliu, the one who talks the most is Xiaoqi, and the smartest and most serious one is Xiaoba!
Maybe it’s because Xiao Ba has some “psychological problems”, so Old Li usually pays more attention to him and talks to him more.
Just then, as he was walking, Old Li saw a bird's nest in front of him and was about to hit it with a stick.
But Xiao Ba suddenly grabbed his trouser leg.
He looked at him in confusion: "Xiao Ba, what's wrong? You don't want the bird eggs anymore?"
Xiao Qi was still shouting: "Get the bird eggs! Get the bird eggs!!"
But Xiao Ba pointed to his ears.
Old Li frowned, as if he suddenly realized something.
He tilted his head back and listened carefully.
I could actually hear a few very faint "chirp" sounds!
It turned out that there were no eggs in the bird's nest, but newly hatched chicks.
But Xiao Ba suddenly bent his little body and turned in circles along the tree trunk.
As he turned around, he carefully searched for something on the ground.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he reached out his hand and picked up a featherless chick from the dead leaves on the ground.
The little bird's beak is creamy yellow, and it chirps as it opens and closes.
Its eyes were terribly large and dark, but it didn't close its eyes, and it was obvious that it had just hatched.
He held the bird carefully and said with a happy smile: "Bird..."
Old Li suddenly heard him talking and thought he was hallucinating.
He immediately stepped forward excitedly and grabbed his arm: "Xiao Ba, what did you say? What did you just say? Grandpa didn't hear it clearly!"
