There's meat in tonight's meal! Yes, meat.
Mother Sun shaved the meat from the three meat buns and put them on a plate, and evenly placed the skins into the bowls of the whole family.
At the command of Dad Sun, everyone started eating. Sun Ye only picked up two pieces with his chopsticks and they were gone. He hadn't even tasted the meat yet.
Don't you know how to give way to the younger ones? Don't you know how to respect the old and love the young? Sun Ye looked at Sun Lin, who was protecting the bowl and digging into the food with his head down; he looked at Sun Sen, who was not shy at all and even deliberately took a bite of the meat, which was so delicious; he looked at Sun Ma, who also smiled; he looked at Sun Dad, who also looked at Sun Ye, and the two of them stared at each other.
The Sun family had always been like this, grabbing food based on ability, no matter how old or young. If you could grab it, you'd eat more, and if you couldn't, you wouldn't eat at all. When eating out, people wouldn't let you eat, under the pretext of getting used to it quickly, lest you end up starving.
Sun Ye looked around and could only pout, her hope quietly fading. She thought her pitiful eyes could soften others and get a little bit of meat. She didn't ask for too much, just a little bit would be fine.
Are kids these days so smart? Did they see through her little trick? It's understandable that Sun's mom and dad didn't fall for it, but Sun Lin's brain wasn't working. It looked like he'd have to try a different tactic next time.
Sun Ye thought about it and her spirit suddenly changed. She didn't insist. It was just some meat, right? Who hadn't eaten it before? Then she pecked at the rice hungrily, picking at the dry vegetables with her chopsticks.
The other four looked at each other, smiled, and said nothing. Who hasn't been through this? It can only be said that Sun Ye is still too naive.
After the meal, Sun's mother spread a straw mat for Sun Ye. It was woven by Sun's father using rice stalks from the fields.
Sun's mother first looked outside, but saw no one was around. Sun Sen, Sun Lin, and Sun's father went to the river to take a bath. She took out half a bun from behind her back and quietly handed it to Sun Ye.
Sun Ye's eyes widened and he glanced at his mother. His mother blinked, put a finger to her lips, and pointed outside, signaling him not to say it out loud.
Sun Ye nodded wildly. It was better to keep this kind of good news to himself. Telling it to others would make people hate him. So he just kept quiet and ate the big piece of meat.
Thin skin and lots of meat, delicious! Sun Ye nodded while eating, and accidentally choked. Sun's mother glanced at Sun Ye, turned around and got a glass of water for Sun Ye, and patted Sun Ye on the back.
"Eat slowly, no one is trying to snatch it from you. Look, you may have choked, but it's not like there's nothing left to eat."
Sun Ye wanted to reply: Of course there is nothing left to eat, and I don’t know when we can eat it again.
In the end, she didn't say it out loud. Anyway, she got to eat it this time, so she didn't complain about it. She made a profit.
Her round eyes reflected the full moon in the night sky, sparkling like stars. A satisfied and lazy smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. The night wind blew through the house, and she had an absurd feeling of flying away with the wind, free and unfettered, letting the vast world let her soar.
Sun's mother pulled Sun Ye's hand, and then she found that the sense of distance from Sun Ye just now disappeared. She pinched Sun Ye's round earlobes, touched Sun Ye's head, and muttered something. Sun Ye leaned in to listen carefully but couldn't make out anything.
At night, Sun Ye lay on the straw mat, which was cooler than the sheets. She tossed here and there until she finally fell asleep with her legs spread out. In the middle of the night, Sun's mother came to check on her. Seeing her daughter's unrestrained sleeping posture, she was amused and embarrassed. She adjusted Sun Ye's sleeping position, covered her with the quilt, bent down and kissed Sun Ye's forehead before leaving.
Sun Ye heard the door closing, opened his eyes, touched the small quilt on his body, and fell asleep contentedly.
I slept soundly all night without any dreams.
The sky was cloudless, a hot breath hit my face, and the scorching sun hung high in the sky, showing its proud power to people.
Sun's mother was putting beans out to dry in the yard as usual. Sun Ye saw her and quickly stopped her: "Mom, it's going to rain soon. Put them away quickly. It's too late."
Sun Ye got up a little late. His mother had already dried the beans in the whole yard. Sun Ye didn't care about his mother's reaction and immediately moved the beans back under the eaves.
"You kid, you're confused because you're sleeping. How can it rain when the sun is shining? Stop making trouble or I'll be mad at you."
Sun's mother took the beans that Sun Ye had moved and wanted to put them in the yard, but Sun Ye was so anxious that he grabbed them tightly and refused to let Sun's mother take them away.
"Hey, Ye Zi, let go and be obedient. Do you still want to eat the fragrant beans?"
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Sun Ye, Sun's mother was afraid that the beans would spill out, so the two of them started a tug-of-war.
"Mom, listen to me, it's really going to rain..."
Hey, before Sun Ye could finish his words, raindrops fell from the sky and hit the yard.
"Ouch, my beans!"
Sun's mother screamed and slapped her thigh, and Sun Ye felt the pain for her. Fortunately, she was still at home and moved quickly, so the food was not soaked. After drying it, it could still be eaten.
"You say the sky is weird, with both sunshine and rain. How can it handle it?"
Mother Sun moved a bench and finally had time to wipe the rain off her face. She looked at the heavy raindrops in the yard, then at the sun in the sky, and suddenly became furious.
Sun Ye didn't respond at this moment, and quietly reduced his presence.
Mother Sun looked at the rain, then looked at her little girl who was sitting upright. She couldn't believe what her little girl had said just now.
Seeing the strange look in Sun's mother's eyes, Sun Ye slipped away.
But Sun Ye still couldn't run away. Her mother held her hand. Sun Ye lowered her head, but could still feel her mother's eyes looking at her.
Could she tell Sun Ma that she had only guessed, but it was only slightly accurate?
As for feeling uneasy? Sun Ye didn't feel the slightest bit. At most, she felt a little guilty. She didn't know what she felt guilty about, and it was useless in her daily life.
"Ye Zi, dear, you are really amazing. You must be God's biological daughter."
Sun's mother's tone was quite excited. She picked up Sun Ye, held his armpits and swung him around, then held him in her arms and kissed him sweetly.
To be honest, Sun Ye didn't really like the swinging action. Her armpits hurt, but seeing how excited her mother was, she didn't say anything to spoil the fun.
"But, you're my daughter now. Ye Zi, how did you know it was going to rain?"
Sun's mother calmed down, held Sun Ye's face and asked, "How can it be so accurate? The weather station is definitely not as good as our Ye Zi."
Sun's mother was also very open-minded and didn't think there was a problem at all. She had seen her daughter grow up since she was a child, so what could be wrong with her?
Sun Ye was about to speak, but she pouted and said in a muffled voice, "It's very simple. It's told in heaven."
Sun Ye was telling the truth; she saw it.
Mother Sun looked at Sun Ye, then stretched her head to look at the sky outside. There was nothing there. The sky was still scorching hot whether it was raining or not.
"real."
Sun Ye pointed to the sky and said, "Mom, do you remember those three stars you saw last night? They were arranged like this, with one on the right, forming a loop with another star inside. This means there's something in the middle, something falling from the sky. It can only be rain at this time of year."
Mother Sun didn't remember what stars were. It seemed like the sky was full of stars last night. After hearing what Sun Ye said, she was confused.
"As for the timing, next to this arrangement of stars is a signal for when it will rain..."
"Stop, stop, stop. Mom knows. Our Ye Zi is the best." Seeing that Sun Ye wanted to continue talking, Sun's mother kept asking him to stop. She was so busy that she couldn't think straight.
But she did understand one thing: Ye Zi was very knowledgeable. After only one semester of classes, she could even see the sky. She would go to the old house and show off to her mother-in-law.
Sun Ye had no idea that his mother's mind had turned to showing off. He felt a little disappointed when he saw that his mother was not interested. It seemed that people here did not know how to read the weather. He finally caught his mother and told her about it, but she was unwilling to do so.
"Ye Zi, we're free anyway. I see the rain is getting lighter. Why don't we go to the old house and play? You haven't played with Miao Miao for a long time. I guess you miss her."
Before Sun Ye could say anything, his mother closed the main room, picked up Sun Ye and walked towards the old house.
Sun Ye also didn't understand why he thought of going to the old house for no reason, and with empty hands. He usually brought some dried vegetables or something.
But that’s true. I haven’t seen that girl Sun Miao for three or four days, and I really miss her chattering voice.
Speaking of which, the people in the old house quite like the vegetables brought by Sun Ma. They are all grown in the same way, but the ones brought by Sun Ma are much more fragrant.
"Sister-in-law, are you home?"
Mother Sun shouted and pushed the door open. In the countryside, courtyard doors are usually open, so there is no need to worry about losing anything.
"Sister-in-law, mother, are you home?"
Sun Ma put Sun Ye down, but Sun Ye ignored her and ran to the fourth room to find Sun Miao.
The second and fourth bedrooms have not been moved out yet, but it will be soon. They said they will start building the house after the autumn harvest and try to move in before the New Year.
"Sister Miaomiao, Sister Miaomiao..."
"Ah, leaves!"
Sun Miao was playing with stones in the house. It was always boring to be alone. When he heard Sun Ye's voice outside, he immediately jumped up and opened the door for Sun Ye.
Sun Ye was greeted by a small cannon/bullet, which knocked him off balance and made him take a few steps back before he could steady himself.
Sun Ye slowly raised his hand, snorted, and patted Sun Miao's head in the air to vent his anger.
"Ye Zi, are you here to look for me? I know you can't bear to leave me. I want to go and play with you, but my mom won't let me go and asks me to look after my sister."
Sun Miao pulled Sun Ye towards the room, saying, "My sister is not cute or well-behaved at all. She always cries."
Hearing this, Sun Ye couldn't help but reply: "I can't cry without you."
Thinking of Sun Miao’s crying when he was a child, the whole family will certainly never forget it. Which child has Sun Miao’s lung capacity?
"Nonsense, I'm an extremely obedient person."
"Leaf, let's play picking up stones."
Sun Ye learned this skill from Sun Miao. It can be said that most of the skills she learned were taught by Sun Miao.
"Ye Zi, let me make it clear first, you can't give in to me."
"Okay, okay, okay. Just don't get angry later."
Having said that, Sun Miao will still get angry and act like a spoiled child later.
After playing with stones, Sun Miao took out a small stick, which was a small branch, which had been sharpened by his uncle Sun until it was smooth and shiny, and started playing with the sticks again. Sun Miao didn't do much else, but he just had enough fun.
Here, Mother Sun went to the main hall and saw her mother-in-law and sister-in-law rubbing rice stalks and weaving them into hemp ropes.
"Mom, sister-in-law, why don't you answer when I call you?" Sun's mother was not shy. She moved a stool and picked up a handful of rice stalks and started rubbing them.
"You haven't come yet, have you?"
"Mom, let me tell you something." Sun's mother obviously couldn't hold it in any longer, so she pulled the bench closer so that it would be easier to talk.
Old Mrs. Sun glanced at Sun Ma, then lowered her head to rub the rice stalks. She had no interest in listening to what Sun Ma said.
"That is, um, did the educated youth teachers teach the kids to read the weather?"
Mother Sun grunted for a long time before uttering these words.
"What do you mean by weather? I don't think the educated youth themselves can predict the weather. It's up to us old farmers to understand the weather, not the educated youth."
Mrs. Sun replied without even raising her head. When Sun's mother heard it, she thought, "Yeah, who did Ye Zi learn how to use the stars to look at the weather from?"
Sun's mother failed to show off her success and instead confused herself. She continued to ask, "Sister-in-law, do you think this person can accurately predict when it will rain and when it will be sunny?"
"That's impossible. I haven't heard of anyone who has this ability."
"But Ye Zi..."
"Leaves, what leaves? Don't feed my chickens the rotten vegetable leaves from your field."
Old Mrs. Sun interrupted Mother Sun and completely changed the subject.
