The sound of the brigade's gongs rang out "clang clang clang", and the people in the fields stopped working one after another. After the scorekeepers recorded the work points one by one, they returned the farm tools and went home one after another.
When Grandma Sun pushed open the gate, the chickens behind the house heard the noise and started clucking non-stop, as if saying: It's time to eat, time to eat, I'm hungry.
Sun Senyan walked in with his head down, holding a clay jar in his arms, which contained the results of his and Sun Lin's collection for an afternoon: earthworms.
The clay pot was shaken and all the liquid poured into the chicken coop. The chickens ran over quickly and started working hard.
Dad Sun went into the kitchen, weighed a handful of corn from the jar, took down the sieve hanging on the wall, and picked up a thin hemp rope. He went out and shouted, "Senzi, Linzi, come on, Dad will take you to catch birds."
"Dad, wait for me, I'll go get the slingshot." Sun Lin was afraid that he would be too late, so he ran into the room in two or three steps, opened his treasure box, and took out the slingshot.
Sun Sen became excited when he heard this and followed his father. He was a little skeptical when he saw his father's bird-catching tools. "That's it? Can you catch a bird?"
"Dad, where are we going to catch it?"
"In the woods to the east, I heard the chirping of many sparrows."
The three of them walked away quickly, turning into a black dot until they disappeared.
Mother Sun first cooked rice at home, then walked around half the village to pick some cabbages from the old house's field. The vegetables at home had not grown yet.
After Sun's mother washed and cut the cabbage, she realized that the house was too quiet. The little tail that usually followed her was now silent.
"Leaf, Leaf, what are you doing?"
After not hearing her little girl's voice for a long time, Sun's mother felt a little uneasy. She wiped the water stains on her hands on her clothes and went to Sun Ye's room to see what was going on.
Sun Ye's room can be seen from the beginning at a glance. A bed, a small table, a small bench, and a box are all the furniture Sun Ye has.
But Sun Ye took good care of her room, keeping it clean every day. There was a fresh scent of grass. There was a porcelain vase on the table. When the family split up, no one wanted it, so Sun Ye took it back. Now it is filled with colorful flowers and a few large green leaves, which is quite interesting.
Sun Ye was lying on his side on the bed, looking like he was sleeping soundly. Sun's mother breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to him, calling softly, "Ye Zi, Ye Zi, wake up, get up."
Sun Ye tilted his head slightly, and heard his mother's call. He tried to open his eyes, and his mother's huge face was right in front of him. Sun Ye suddenly shuddered, and quickly sat up, yawning with his mouth wide open:
"Mom, are you all off work?"
"Yes, little lazy pig, you just woke up now. You slept enough. Let's see what you will do if you can't sleep tonight."
Sun's mother gently pinched the tip of Sun Ye's nose and said affectionately, "Ye Zi, Nuo, put on your clothes and pants, don't catch a cold."
"How could I have a cold? I'm in good health." Sun Ye wrinkled his nose.
That's true. Ye Zi has never been sick since she was born. However, Sun's mother still said, "It won't hurt to wear more clothes. What is this called? It's called..."
"It's better to be prepared."
"Yes, yes, it's better to be prepared."
Sun Ye put on his clothes obediently, but his legs felt weak the moment he got up from the ground and he almost fell face first. Fortunately, his mother Sun quickly helped him up and saved him from danger.
"Look, don't be careful."
"Hehehe." Sun Ye just giggled.
"How long have you slept?" Sun's mother asked as they walked.
"Yeah, I fell asleep as soon as I got home and have been sleeping until now."
"I'm really tired today. You can be a little lazy when you work, and don't work too hard."
"I know." He said he knew, but deep down he was still saying he would do it again next time.
Sun Ye didn't want to continue this topic, so he just made up a conversation: "Mom, why didn't Dad and my eldest and second brothers see it?"
"Oh, they're going to catch birds."
"What? Why didn't you call me to go bird hunting? I want to go too."
"Calling you? You were sleeping so soundly that your dad couldn't wake you up even with such a loud noise."
"Ah, where are they catching them? I'll go and take a look." Sun Ye was really curious about how her father would fulfill his bold words.
"Don't go, they will be back soon." As soon as Sun's mother finished speaking, the gate opened.
Wow, we caught seven or eight!
Sun Lin was holding two sparrows in his hands, looking very excited. He ran to his mother and shouted, "Mom, Mom, look, sparrows!"
"Okay, okay, I see!"
Sun Lin showed off to Sun Ye again, "Little sister, I did a great deed today. I was the one who pulled the rope and caught two fish."
"No, it was Dad who pulled it while holding your hand!" Sun Sen added.
"No, I pulled it."
"Little sister, I almost hit it, just a little bit." Sun Lin pointed out the distance with two fingers, and it was obvious that he was very disappointed.
"Actually, it's far from it." Sun Sen continued to stab him.
"Bullshit, you scared it away, that's why I didn't hit it." Sun Lin retorted.
"That bird was about to fly." Sun Sen muttered softly.
"Can you please stop talking?" Sun Lin widened his eyes, very unhappy that his brother always undermined his prestige.
"Okay, I won't tell you."
"Little sister, listen to me, Dad caught the fish in no time, but unfortunately, one got away when he went to get it." Sun Lin still felt a little distressed when he said this.
"That's because Dad's hands are new and his movements are not very skilled."
Sun Lin turned his head suddenly and stared at Sun Sen.
Sun Sen immediately covered his mouth and made a zipper-like motion, indicating that he wanted to shut up and stop talking.
"snort!"
Sun Lin snorted, pulled Sun Ye over, and kept him away from Sun Sen. He still had to tell his little sister about the bird-catching process.
When Sun Sen saw this, a smile flashed in his eyes and he covered his mouth to hide the smile. His younger brother was the funniest at this moment, and it would be a shame not to tease him.
Sun Ye already had a general understanding of what had happened, which was quite thrilling. He slowly pieced it together based on Sun Lin's disjointed explanation.
Dad Sun is indeed quite capable and can even catch birds. Sun Ye thought he would return empty-handed.
The roasted birds were sizzling with oil. Mother Sun added a little salt and asked Father Sun to send three to the old couple in the old house. There were five left, just enough for each person.
Finally, he could eat. Sun Lin picked one that looked bigger and finished it in no time. He believed that what he ate was his.
Seeing that others had not eaten much, he swallowed his saliva and ate the rice in big mouthfuls. He was determined not to let any taste of meat slip away.
Sun Ye tore off a leg and put it in his mouth to taste it. It was quite delicious, with fresh flavor and chewy meat.
She tore off another leg and gave the rest to Sun Lin. She only liked to eat the meat on the legs.
"Little sister, are you really giving it to me?" Sun Lin was still a little unsure about this good thing happening to him, but because he was really craving for meat, he made a promise: "Little sister, next time, when we go bird hunting again, I'll give you my legs to eat."
"Okay, second brother, you must remember what you said. Mom and eldest brother will testify for me." Sun Ye nodded. She would take whatever wool she could get. If there was meat, she didn't mind being a little abrupt.
"Okay, Mom will testify for you that Linzi owes Ye Zi a leg of meat."
After sending the child off, Dad Sun came back and took out a few candies from his pocket, exactly three, given by Grandma Sun, to satisfy the child's taste.
The family was happily eating meat, and Sun Lin was laughing as he talked about the process of catching the bird. Sun Lin could talk about this experience today for three days.
Everything was quiet. Sun Ye turned over and sat on the bed. She had not forgotten the strange vision she had seen during the day.
Normally, she wouldn't sleep so soundly. Something must have happened.
He made a complicated hand seal with his hands, but half a day passed and nothing happened.
Is there something wrong?
After a while, Sun Ye was disappointed. She had no idea what was going on. Could it be that her guess was wrong? Was it not a dream?
Sun Ye was very sure that there was no other elf in the forward team. Wherever there was an elf, there would be a special aura left behind, which was on the soul and could not be changed.
Sun Ye tossed and turned until late at night but to no avail. The sleepiness gradually stuck to his eyelids and he fell asleep in a daze.
In her dream, Sun Ye came to a strange yet familiar place. The strange thing was that she had never seen this kind of space building before, but the familiar thing was that this place was full of the breath of the fountain of life and the mother tree.
A green light flashed, and words appeared in the air.
It reads: Now that you have arrived, use one drop of the Fountain of Life. I will give you three drops. If you use one drop, you will have to stay in bed.
"Mother tree, how do I use the fountain of life?" Sun Ye hurriedly asked the question he wanted to know most.
The shapes of the words in the air change: Your wish can be realized through dreams, that’s all, make good use of it.
Sun Ye wanted to ask more, but in a moment of distraction, the scene just now disappeared, and no matter how Sun Ye shouted, it was useless.
Sun Ye calmed down and thought silently, it’s time to be content. It’s just three drops of the Spring of Life. Don’t be greedy.
This can be considered an extra joy. After figuring it out, Sun Ye was just happy.
the next day.
Sun Ye got up refreshed, took the initiative to chop chicken feed, and hummed a unique tune. It was hard to describe the feeling, as if he was walking in the forest.
It is the busy farming season now, so there are no classes in school and everyone is working.
The Sun family went to work as usual and met their third aunt's family on the way. Sun Taohua couldn't help looking at Sun Ye. She felt that Sun Ye seemed to be in a very good mood today.
"Why do you keep looking at me?" Sun Ye took the initiative to speak.
"No, nothing." Sun Taohua didn't know why, but she was not nervous when talking to Sun Ye. But she really liked Sun Ye. She longed to be someone like Sun Ye, strong and calm, as if he would not blink even if the sky fell.
What a strange person. Sun Ye didn't feel any malice towards her. To be exact, everyone in the Qianjin Brigade was quite nice.
Although he has some minor flaws, they are not serious and he has no intention of harming others. Despite all the turmoil outside over the years, this place is still a quiet place and a safe haven.
Yesterday's potatoes hadn't been planted yet, so they continued planting. Before sowing, Sun's mother quietly instructed Ye Zi, "Take your time. Don't get tired like you did yesterday."
"Mom, I know." Sun Ye was helpless. Is she so untrustworthy? This is the second time.
"I'm just afraid you don't know." No one knows a child better than his mother. Sun's mother doesn't understand Sun Ye yet, and she's probably turning a deaf ear to what she says.
Sun Ye complained in his heart: You are not a worm in my stomach, how can you know what I am thinking.
He still had an obedient look on his face, as if to say, "I'm listening, I really understand."
"You, you." Mother Sun pointed at Sun Ye and said nothing more. She picked up the hoe and started digging a ditch.
