Extra: Spring Blossoms and Autumn Fruits (Part 1)



one

Ever since he could remember, Dong Fan had discovered that his aunt was a very special person.

For example, when Liang Guoguo scored second to last in her class, her uncle wailed in despair, holding a stick: "If you could have half, no, one-third, of Chunhua's brains, I would kowtow to my ancestors!"

Liang Guoguo looks 80% like his eldest uncle, and has a 50% temper like his second uncle. As for his brain...

"The ancestral graves can't always be emitting smoke!"

He covered his butt with his hands, grinning, and said stubbornly, "I have made great progress. Last time I was last, but this time I took a big step forward!

Stop comparing me to my aunt, my ancestral grave is tired and needs a rest!"

"You little monkey are itching!"

The uncle chased Liang Guoguo around the yard. The aunt held the soft and cute Dong Fan in her arms, shielding her eyes, and whispered softly, "Fanfan, you must study hard and become an intellectual like your aunt."

For example, every time my aunt comes back, everyone welcomes her with joy.

The three children all like her very much. The little aunt always lives up to everyone's expectations and always comes back with a big bag full of snacks.

There are several kinds of bubble gum, including individual ones in various colors, long rolled ones, and the kind that makes popping sounds when poured into the mouth. Dong Fan's childhood was sweet and dreamy, and her aunt was the fairy in her dreams.

However, when Dong Fan was almost twenty years old, she found that being a fairy was not easy.

At the dinner table, the first ones to feel unwell were his uncle and father. Dong Fan discovered that since some time ago, whenever his aunt came back, his uncle and father would cough.

"Cough cough..." Liang Genfa seemed to be choked by the fragrant rice. He coughed lightly twice. Seeing no one responded, he simply put down his bowl and chopsticks and coughed heavily twice.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Dong Fan asked with concern.

My uncle didn't say anything. My eldest uncle nudged my eldest aunt with his elbow, and my eldest aunt winked at my second aunt across the street.

Dong Fan summed it up: one hand hurts and the other eye hurts.

Why are the family who were fine just now feeling unwell?

"Chunhua, you haven't been back for a month. Have you been busy with work recently?" Qiuhua was the first to speak.

Liang Genfa breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qiuhua speak. Although the two sisters had a big age gap, Chunhua was willing to listen to her sister.

"Yeah, I'm busy," Chunhua nodded, stuffing a piece of crystal clear braised pork into her mouth. "My dad's braised pork is still the best. I went on three business trips last month and ate out all day. My mouth has no taste."

When Liang Genfa heard her say that she had to go on business three times a month, he suddenly felt deflated, and the food in his mouth was harder to chew than the wax on the chopping board.

"It's delicious, eat more... Ask Xiaojuan to prepare some for you when you leave..."

The old man has become more and more skinny over the years, just like the winter bamboo shoots Liang Dahua picked from the mountains, peeled them, blanched them, and spread them on a sieve to dry in the sun. After a few days, the originally thick and strong bamboo shoots were dried out and became black and wrinkled.

"No matter how busy you are, you should go out and have fun and meet friends."

Wu Xin put a piece of fish belly into Qiuhua's bowl with chopsticks, and then smoothly slid the dried bamboo shoots out of her bowl.

Qiuhua loves to eat dried bamboo shoots. The originally dry bamboo shoots are mixed with the braised pork, and the sweet and non-greasy soup makes the bamboo shoots fresh again.

However, Qiuhua had a bad stomach. Wu Xin nagged her many times, and she always agreed, but forgot when it was time to eat.

"Yes, of course. Even if I'm busy, I have to squeeze out time to see friends and spend time with my family. Don't worry," Chunhua quickly snatched another piece of bamboo shoots from the bowl and put it into her mouth, laughing, "Sister, your brother-in-law didn't let you eat it, so I ate it for you."

"None of you are getting to the point, Chunhua. Second brother is a rough man, so I'll be direct..."

"I've got calluses on my ears from listening to your opening remarks." Chunhua curled her lips.

How could Liang Erhua not understand after seeing her like this? She didn't like to hear the following words, and she didn't want to hear them, but he was Erhua. If even he didn't dare to say anything in this family, then no one would dare to say anything.

"Who's the smartest person in this family? Of course it's you. But, if we're talking about the thickest skin, it's me. Even if you don't want to hear it, I have to tell you. I just want to ask you one question: when are you going to bring the person back to see us?"

"How can I take care of it if no one is there?" Chunhua was not annoyed. This was the same thing that happened at the dinner table every time she came back. After so many years, she was used to it.

"Why is there no one here?" Erhua put down his chopsticks excitedly and tried to stand up but his round belly got him stuck under the table.

"Well, well, President Jin! President Jin is not a human being? We have been watching over you for so many years. President Jin has really taken care of you and our family. When Dad was bleeding from the stomach, I was out of town. He rushed over to take him to the hospital and was busy saying hello. Zhong Wen is gone, ouch!"

Erhua suddenly felt a dull pain in his left foot and quickly looked down, only to see Luo Zhen mercilessly twisting his fat thigh again. He shut up immediately and dared not say anything more.

Hearing this name, Dong Fan's heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly looked in the direction of her aunt's eyes. Sure enough, she saw stars in them. She secretly cursed her second uncle for being stupid and having a bad temper.

Even things that shouldn’t be said are said!

"Come on, stop spouting all your nonsense and shut up! If my little sister doesn't want to get married, then don't get married. Are you worried about no one supporting her? Guoguo, Xiaoxiao and the others, they have a whole table of children that Chunhua will rely on in the future. Besides, Chunhua earns as much as I do in a year, so what are you afraid of?"

Only Xiaohua argued with him every day. Erhua kept talking, but he knew he had said the wrong thing and could only keep silent.

"Eat, eat!" Liang Genfa forced a smile on his wrinkled face. He felt embarrassed but not angry, which was not much better than crying.

Who wouldn’t envy a little girl who has been smart since she was young?
