Chapter 84 Harmonious Relationship with the B&B Owner



Compared with the courtyard houses in Guihua Lake, the residence in Tanfeng County is also a homestay, but it is indeed inferior, and it is not in the same place. Each family has a homestay owner to come and greet them.

After Xiaonaituanzi and Song Lianqing entered, they were taken back to her home by a very enthusiastic aunt. The aunt's surname was Liu. She had a husband and two sons. Now the two sons were working outside to make a living and didn't come home often, so the empty rooms were used as a homestay.

The live broadcast equipment had already been prepared in her home where Song Lianqing and Xiaonaituanzi lived, so when the camera cut to here, the audience in the live broadcast room could even see the tea leaves drying in the spacious yard and were very surprised.

There are six B&Bs for six families, and each B&B is adjacent to each other and not far away. Other staff members and the chief director and others live in the large courtyard building where they gathered when they first arrived. Compared to them, the living environment is much better.

In order to bring a different experience to the audience in the live broadcast room, the program crew always changes the living form when changing scenic spots and scenes to add new highlights. Otherwise, it will be too conventional, too bland and uneventful, and lose its appeal.

"…This is the bathroom. You can wash up and take a shower here at night. Next to the bathroom is the toilet. When you go to the toilet at night, you have to go down from the house with a light on. This road is a bit difficult to walk on. When children need to go to the toilet at night, adults have to accompany them."

Aunt Liu took Song Lianqing and Xiaonaituanzi, who had put away their suitcases, to the yard to introduce the locations of some basic things needed for life, teaching them how to use them or taking them through a route so that they could familiarize themselves with it. She spoke seriously and the father and son listened attentively.

"This is an independent kitchen. You can make whatever you want to eat. There is a vegetable garden in the back. You can pick whatever you want to eat. There are only me and my old man living in my house, so we can't finish all the food."

Aunt Liu looked at Song Lianqing and smiled as she introduced the kitchen and vegetable garden to them. After they nodded, she said, "Of course, if you don't know how to cook or don't want to, you can eat with us. More people means more pairs of chopsticks."

"Isn't there a baby at home, grandma?"

As soon as Aunt Liu finished speaking, the little baby's purring voice began to sound. Aunt Liu looked down at his cute little face, smiled and rubbed his little head, as if she sensed something.

"Grandma has two sons, but they are both out there making money. It will take a long time for them to come back to see us. When you grow up, don't learn from them, little darling, or your dad will be so lonely."

The little kid blinked his big eyes, nodded in a daze, then looked at Song Lianqing and said with a smile, "Dad, when little Candy grows up, he will definitely come to visit you often! Dad won't be lonely!"

Song Lianqing picked him up from the ground, smiled and kissed his little cheek, and said softly, "Okay, our little Candy is the best, Dad believes in you."

The little boy giggled. Aunt Liu looked at the loving father and filial son scene between Song Lianqing and the little boy and thought of her own two sons. When they were young, she was afraid that they were not good enough and would lose at the starting line. When they grew up, she was afraid that they were too good and would not be home for several years.

However, what they can do as parents is to provide help to their children. They cannot make decisions for them. Therefore, no matter what choices the children make when they grow up, that is their right and their freedom.

Aunt Liu always comforted herself with this sentence. Thinking of this, she felt less lonely. She smiled at the father and son and said, "I have several acres of cabbage, eggplant, radish, cucumber, pumpkin and green beans in my field. If you want to eat them tonight, I will take you to pick them and cook them for you tonight."

"Dad! Candy wants to eat cucumbers!"

When the little kid heard the word cucumber, his eyes lit up and flickered as if merging into the stars in the night sky, pure and beautiful.

"Hahaha, baby, you really love to eat this, but it's good," Song Lianqing smiled and rubbed the little kid's cheek, then looked at Aunt Liu and said politely, "Aunt, then please take us to pick some cucumbers."

"Sure. I'll pick some and cut them for him later, sprinkle some sugar on them and mix them. It'll be sweet and crispy. The kids here who don't like vegetables love it."

Aunt Liu said with a smile as she took Song Lianqing and Little Tuanzi to the vegetable area. Little Tuanzi became even happier when he heard that there was sugar. Song Lianqing could sense his excitement without asking. This little guy loves sweet things and has no resistance to cucumber mixed with sugar.

The morning dew was a bit heavy this morning. Even though it was already past ten o'clock, you could still see small sparkling water droplets on the grass leaves. After being refracted by the sun's rays, they would bring out the last moment of sparkling before evaporation to the fullest. At first glance, it looked like pearls covering the ground, so beautiful.

With the help of Aunt Liu, Little Tuanzi and Song Lianqing picked cucumbers, cabbages and radishes. Little Tuanzi not only wanted to eat the cucumbers raw, but also wanted to eat the radishes raw. The radishes from Aunt Liu were white radishes, which looked fat, crisp, white and plump, and extremely appetizing. Little Tuanzi was so greedy that no one could stop him, so Song Lianqing picked one for him.

In Song Lianqing's impression, this uncooked white radish was really spicy. He thought the little kid wouldn't eat it after taking a bite, so he only picked one.

After returning to the front of the house with the spoils, Song Lianqing sat under the eaves and peeled white radish for the little boy. The little boy followed behind Aunt Liu and watched her cut cucumbers and mix them with sugar, his big eyes sparkling with anticipation.

At this time, Aunt Liu's husband came back from outside with a cane. On his slightly hunched back, he was carrying a large bamboo basket, which was filled with a pile of green grass that was taller than him.

Seeing this, Song Lianqing immediately put down the unpeeled white radish and the fruit knife, went down the stairs to meet him, "Uncle, let me carry it for you."

"Hey! No, no, I can carry you."

Uncle Li smiled and rejected Song Lianqing's kindness, insisting on carrying the grass home by himself. How could Song Lianqing bear to let him continue to carry the grass with a cane, so he patiently said, "Uncle, it's okay, I'll carry it. It's not easy to walk ahead, it's safer if I carry it."

Uncle Li couldn't resist Song Lianqing's constant nagging and finally put down the heavy bamboo basket. Song Lianqing carried the bamboo basket on his back. The heavy grass made his heart heavy. There were no children to help at home, so they could only do this hard work by themselves.

"Uncle, what do you use this grass for?"

Song Lianqing and Uncle Li were walking and chatting. There was no bitterness on Uncle Li's face. Instead, he was smiling happily. It was obvious that he was very happy and did not need sympathy or even pity. Even though he was using a cane, he lived a carefree life.

"It's used to feed the cows. We have two cows at home, and we don't have time to graze them, so we get up early to cut some grass to feed them. Have you eaten yet? Ask me to prepare some food for you. Don't go hungry."

"No, we came here after eating."

Song Lianqing smiled and put the basket of grass in the yard. Uncle Li took out his sickle and was about to drag him to the low wall when Song Lianqing stepped forward to help him. "Uncle, did you feed the cows here?"

"Yes, yes, just throw the grass in there for them. They will be very happy when they eat it."

As soon as the uncle finished speaking, Aunt Liu's voice rang out, speaking in dialect, "Dad, you can't walk well, and you're out cutting grass again! I won't feel at ease even if you call me!"

Uncle Li trembled reflexively when he heard Aunt Liu's voice. When he turned back, his face was full of fear, but it did not stop him from talking for a few words, "Ah, it's not that I don't want you to work hard, why are you so anxious? We are back safely!"

Aunt Liu sighed and smiled helplessly, "Yes, yes, you are right. Hurry up and feed the cows and come up to play with this little kid. He is very well behaved. I am very happy to see him!"

"Grandpa! Let's go to your house and play!"

The little kid took the opportunity to come out from behind Aunt Liu holding the bowl and smiled at Uncle Li in a baby voice. His baby voice was already soft and sweet, and now that he spoke in dialect, it sounded even softer. The call of "Grandpa" melted Uncle Li's heart.

"Here I come! Good boy!"

When Uncle Li saw Little Dumpling, he dropped the grass in his hand and walked towards Little Dumpling with his cane. Little Dumpling saw this, put down his bowl, ran over, held his hand, and helped him up, "Grandpa, walk slowly."

"Hey, good boy, baby."

Uncle Li laughed heartily at the cleverness of the little milk ball, and Aunt Liu also laughed. Song Lianqing was left alone standing by the low wall feeding two cows. His back looked a bit desolate. But at this time the program crew made something special, adding a erhu sound and using the special effect of fallen leaves blowing.

Song Lianqing: It turns out that the clown is actually me. Will I really thank him?

The audience in the live broadcast room were laughing like crazy. They felt that there might be more interesting and touching stories happening in this Tanfeng County scenic spot, and they were looking forward to it.
