Chapter 58 My name is Su Youli, I am three and a half years old
The two brothers of the Mi family were lucky. The house they drew was a newly built small bungalow with tiled walls and floors.
Mile took Youyou's hand and went to see their room. It was clean and spacious. There was even a wall-mounted air conditioner in the room. The bed was a Simmons mattress with a mosquito net to prevent mosquitoes.
The landlord was a grandmother in her fifties. Her son and daughter-in-law worked outside. When she heard that someone was coming to film a TV show, she rented out her son's wedding house.
Chen Yan was sitting on the sofa, feeling extremely envious. Turning around, he saw his brother sitting on a small stool with his mouth wide open, holding a corn bigger than his face.
"Youyou, is it delicious?" asked Mile.
Su Youli nodded: "It's delicious, so sweet."
Mi Huan saw two children sitting in the corner eating corn, and there was a big red wedding character pasted on the wall behind them.
"These are corns grown by Grandma Zhang herself. You like to eat them. You can take some back later."
Chen Yan was worried about how to solve the problem of food, and asked curiously: "Can we eat the host's food?"
Mi Huan scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "I don't know either. Grandma Zhang was very enthusiastic when we came in. Lele and I ate corn and drank Grandma Zhang's drinks. She also said that she would kill a chicken for Lele to eat chicken legs in the evening."
Why isn’t their landlord so nice? Shen Yan sighed and looked up at the sky.
Su Youli heard his elder brother sighing, so he took the uneaten corn and put it to his elder brother's mouth.
"Brother is not hungry, you can eat by yourself."
Su Youli took the corn back and continued to eat it while sitting on the small stool.
Mi Huan saw that the house they drew might not be that good, so she asked tentatively, "Teacher Shen, have you and Youyou finished the place to live? Do you need any help?"
Hearing him addressing him, Shen Yan said, "I'm a little older than you, just call me brother."
Mi Huan paused and called out "Brother Shen Yan".
This name sounded much more pleasant, and then Chen Yan briefly described the situation of the courtyard.
The house was fine, but their landlord was not easy to get along with. From the moment they moved in, the old man never even smiled at them.
Chen Yan's handsome face was twisted with worry, but Mile had already taken Su Youli to play on the drying dam at Grandma Zhang's house.
When Chen Yan passed by, the little guy brought a small bowl from somewhere and sat on the stone step, his eyes sparkling.
"Oh, you are so beautiful. Little boy, tell grandma, what is your name?"
Su Youli felt that Grandma Zhang was very familiar, so he held the bowl and said, "My name is Su Youli, and I am three and a half years old."
She is so well-behaved and pretty, and speaks so well. The old lady likes her very much.
Grandma Zhang's son and daughter-in-law got married last year, and they don't have any children yet.
I wish her grandson would be as handsome as this.
"You're so good. Hey, why don't you drink the soy milk that grandma gave you? It's so delicious with sugar sprinkled in it. Drink it quickly, or it will get cold and not taste good later."
Holding the bowl in his hands, which was still steaming, the aroma of the beans penetrated the little guy's nose.
Su Youli still remembered that the adults told him not to eat anything given by others, so he was reluctant to drink it.
Mi Le, who was sitting next to him, had already finished his drink, with a circle of white foam around the edge of his mouth.
"Grandma Zhang, I want to drink more!" Mile handed over the bowl without any hesitation.
Grandma Zhang is old and lives alone at home, so she likes these lively little kids.
"Okay, okay, I'll make it for you. I scooped out two pots when I was making tofu."
The soy milk made by the country people who grow their own soybeans has a mellow taste and rich bean aroma. If you add a little white sugar to the bowl, it will be even more delicious.
Su Youli saw his elder brother coming over, holding the bowl and asked, "Brother, can I have a drink?"
Seeing him licking his lips greedily, Chen Yan touched his head and said, "Drink it."
The little fellow then held the small bowl and began to drink with relish, taking a sip himself and then giving a sip to his brother.
Seeing that he was eating corn and drinking soy milk, Shen Yan felt very distressed and asked him if he was hungry.
The little guy was not actually hungry, he just thought these things were very fresh.
After a while, Niu Niu, who had already settled down, also came over.
Among the four little guests, Niuniu is the only girl.
As soon as Mi Le saw her, he gave away the bowl of soy milk in his hand.
He felt that he and his brother were now living in Grandma Zhang's house, and Youyou and Niu Niu were just guests.
Niu Niu held the bowl and was a little afraid to drink. She kept glancing towards her father.
After Du Ze and Chen Yan exchanged pleasantries for a while, he finally noticed her and waved his hand, saying, "Drink less. Look how fat you have become."
Grandma Zhang was busy pressing tofu pudding on the side. When she heard this, she snorted unhappily: "What's wrong with being fat? Children are cute when they are a little fat."
The old people in the countryside are relatively simple in character and will say something unpleasant if they hear something. Besides, Niu Niu looks a little timid, so she feels sorry for the child.
"Don't say that in front of the children in the future. They will be sad."
Du Ze subconsciously wanted to refute, he said it was his own daughter, why would an old woman butt in on it.
But when he felt Chen Yan's gaze lightly resting on him, he held back the words.
All three families were gathered together, but the remaining naughty kid named Cen Yuankai was still unknown as to his situation.
Mi Huan thought about it and said good-temperedly, why not go and look for it.
Before the three of them had finished discussing it, the director asked the camera to deliver the task card.
Ninety percent of the young people in Nianbai Village have gone out to work. Now is the busy farming season and they need manpower.
The guests have to work in exchange for tonight's food, and those who complete the task fastest will receive corresponding rewards.
The three little kids sat next to Grandma Zhang and watched their father and brother come forward to pick tools.
A long table was placed on the spacious drying dam, on which were placed tools such as sickles and backpacks.
The three of them picked one thing each and went to get protective clothing and gloves.
The adults went out to earn dinner. Su Youli was the clingy kid who clung to his parents the most. He pulled at Chen Yan's clothes and insisted on going with him.
Chen Yan held a sickle in his hand, raising it high for fear of hitting the little guy.
"Youyou, be good, I'll let Brother Xiao Tang stay here with you, okay?"
Su Youli shook his head. He was not a fool. Brother Xiao Tang could not be photographed, so he could only accompany him from a distance.
Chen Yan felt very distressed for the insecure little guy and looked at the director with a pleading look.
The director finally gave in and arranged for Tang Dou to wear a lamb doll costume and accompany Su Youli.
Su Youli had already known two days ago that Xiaoyang was Brother Xiao Tang, and she was extremely excited when she saw him appear in a doll costume.
The little guy who had just been holding on to his big brother's pants tightly let go immediately and ran towards the lamb without looking back.
Chen Yan: “…”
Mi Huan laughed and said, "Youyou is already very good. Look at my Lele. He didn't even look at me when I said I was leaving."
With Tang Dou by his side, Chen Yan felt relieved to leave and go earn dinner for the little one and himself.
