Chapter 85 Returning Home



"Submit an article to a newspaper? Can I do it?" Ma Qiuhong pointed at herself, her tone somewhat unconfident. She had also seen articles in newspapers, and she was afraid that she was not as good as she thought.

"Of course it's possible. There's nothing wrong with that." Sun Ye said with certainty.

"Really?"

"You'll know if it's true after you try. It's definitely not okay to deny yourself without trying. Besides, you were able to get into Shuimu University. You're better than many people, right? Have more confidence in yourself. Believe in yourself. If you don't believe in yourself, can you still believe in Shuimu University's ability to select students?"

It's rare for Sun Ye to feed chicken soup to someone, and the effect is remarkable.

"If the newspaper doesn't hire you, it means they have no taste. You, Ma Qiuhong, deserve better."

Ma Qiuhong clenched her fists, pursed her lips, looked forward with a firm gaze, and nodded heavily.

"Thank you, Sun Ye!"

"Don't be polite, I didn't do anything." Sun Ye was speaking the truth. With just a few words, he saved a confused girl's heart, which was a great deed.

Sun Ye walked slowly ahead with his hands behind his back. Turning back, he saw Ma Qiuhong still standing there stupidly. He shouted:

"Let's go! If we're any later, the lights in the dormitory will be turned off and we'll be out in the dark."

"Ah, I'm here." Ma Qiuhong came back to her senses, responded, and trotted back to the dormitory with Sun Ye.

As soon as the two of them lay down on the bed, the light bulb went out on time. It was really just a little bit off, and it was fortunate that they were quick enough to catch it.

"Ye Zi, submit an article? What do you think I should write? Which newspaper should I submit it to? And, will they really give me money?" The more Ma Qiuhong thought about it, the more uncertain she felt. She felt that she was not good at anything. It took her a lifetime of luck to get into Shuimu University. She didn't expect any more.

"There's a newspaper on the library counter. There are submission instructions in the corner. Just follow them."

"Oh, by the way, don't neglect your studies just to submit your paper. That's putting the cart before the horse. Don't do that. Be careful, as there are lessons from the past."

Sun Ye recalled her demeanor when she first submitted the article, and couldn't help but remind her again that it was she who told Ma Qiuhong how to make extra money, and she had to inform her if there were any inappropriate consequences.

"Being too obsessed with money is not good."

Although money is fragrant and leads people step by step to being lost, it is also like a ferocious beast with its mouth open and fangs bared, waiting for you to come closer and swallow it in one gulp, leaving you with no life.

"I know. I just want a little extra income. I spend money every day at school, and I feel uneasy thinking about my parents saving it bit by bit."

"Who isn't? I am like that."

"There are four children in my family. I'm the oldest. My parents dote on me and let me study. Unlike my third sister, she dropped out of school after the third grade. Actually, I know that although she says she doesn't want to go to school, she still misses it in her heart..."

Ma Qiuhong seemed to be eager to talk, and she was talking about her brothers and sisters at home. Each of them had a different personality, but she was the only one among the four siblings who could complete elementary school.

I felt so guilty that I wanted to do something to make up for the predicament at home.

"Thank you, Sun Ye, for always listening to our family's troubles."

Ma Qiuhong's voice on the other side of the bed was choked with sobs, but Sun Ye pretended not to notice anything and said:

"I have three siblings, and I'm the youngest. But I have a cousin who's very kind to me. She always pulls me around and plays with me. I've been playing with her almost all the time since I was little."

"We studied together, cut grass for pigs together, picked wild fruits together, and even shouted on the hillside behind that we would be good sisters for life."

"My eldest brother is a little old man. He does a good job of being a father. My second brother is a funny guy. If there is any mistake, it is always right to find him."

"When I was little, I would follow my mom when she went to work, lying on the edge of the field and playing by myself. Most of the time, I would play with my cousin."

"Oh, by the way, my cousin is only three days older than me. She already has a little sister, and I don't know if she wants to have another one. But I think that when I go back during the summer vacation, my cousin's mother, my fourth aunt, should also have a baby..."

The two little girls talked about interesting things at home in the night, and from time to time one or two crisp laughs rang out in the dormitory.

The moon still shines as it has for ten years, unchanged forever, rising and setting every day. The only thing that changes is the clouds next to it, which may be more or less, lighter or thinner.

They are scattered around the moon and stars, and sometimes they even cover the moon mischievously. If one is not enough, they will pull more brothers and sisters to make up the number.

Sometimes it is so far away from the moon that you can’t see it all night long. I don’t know where it goes to stroll around and play.

He is just a willful child!

That night, after their conversation, they seemed to be closer and didn't have to be so careful with their words.

On the third day of the holiday, Sun Ye and Ma Qiuhong separated. She had to go and see how her beloved Xinxing Tree was doing, while Ma Qiuhong had to go to the library to collect submissions for the newspaper.

As for why Sun Ye didn't tell Ma Qiuhong directly, it was because she felt it was unnecessary. She told Ma Qiuhong that being able to submit the manuscript was already a good thing, and there was no need to break it up and mix it up before feeding it to Ma Qiuhong.

Only those things that you find yourself will be cherished more. Although you know that things that you get easily are valuable, there is still an imperceptible contempt in your heart.

Secondly, Ma Qiuhong doesn't need too much advice from Sun Ye. Leaving appropriate blank space will have a better effect. It is more meaningful to collect it bit by bit by herself.

Sun Ye arrived at the entrance of the research institute and showed his ID to the security personnel before he was allowed in. In fact, Sun Ye could have just used facial recognition, after all, they were so familiar with each other and saw each other every week.

The research institute was also on vacation, and only one or two people would come to check on it from time to time. When Sun Ye went in, there was no one there.

I put on my research suit and reached out to touch the green water hyacinth when I reached the door. The leaves of the water hyacinth were thick and emerald green, which made me happy just by looking at them.

"Little guy, are you asleep yet?"

"No, I woke up as soon as you came."

"Really?"

"Of course not. I promised you that I would check who they were whenever they came. But there have been fewer people coming these past two days, and they're not from this lab, but from other labs."

"Little Gourd is really amazing."

"No way~"

If the water hyacinth could be materialized, Sun Ye would be able to see a little kid with a ponytail, looking shy and burying his head.

"Hahaha, you don't have to keep an eye on me, little gourd. It will be very tiring for you."

"I don't work hard. I just bask in the sun and take a nap every day. If I don't do anything, I won't accomplish anything."

"That's not how you use 'accomplish nothing'." Sun Ye held his forehead. Plants are so cute. If you only understand the superficial meaning of the words, you don't care about the inner meaning at all.

"It's all pretty much the same anyway, it means the same thing, as long as you understand it."

Sun Ye couldn't help but smile bitterly, and joked with the water hyacinth again, moving it to a better position so that it could get more sunlight. There was no harm in getting more sunlight in April since the sun was not too strong.

There was nothing interesting to see in the outer laboratory, so Sun Ye walked past it quickly and entered the inner laboratory. She was not a playboy, so she ruthlessly rejected the flirtations of other plants and went straight to the location of the new star tree.

She couldn't afford to offend Xinxingshu because the little guy was very jealous. If he found out that she was petting another dog outside, he would nag in her ear all day long.

He was repeating the same sentence like a tape recorder. Of course, he was also a little guy who was very observant of people's expressions. He could immediately tell if there was any change in Sun Ye's face.

She is good at acting like a spoiled child and I don’t know who she learned it from.

The people in the laboratory are very serious. They have stern faces and are serious every day.

So Sun Ye thought that it must have learned it when it was outside before. Such a simple plant has learned the dramatic element of humans who want to speak but are hesitant.

"Little Nova, did you miss me?"

"Humph, I didn't think about it!"

"Really not. I'm leaving now."

"How can you be like this? You haven't come to see me for many days, and I'm not allowed to be angry. Now you want to leave again?"

"Little Nova, you are a boy, you are from other people's families. Look at my goose bumps, they are all on your leaves."

Sun Ye deliberately rolled up his sleeves, revealing his skin as white and smooth as jade, without any goose bumps on it at all.

"That's what I wanted to say. Don't you think it's cute?"

"Cute? Too cute. A man should be majestic. I can't stand the coquettish voice."

Sun Ye picked up the flowerpot and moved the new star tree outside to bask in the sun.

The experiment on it has been completed and the data has been entered into the database. If Sun Ye is willing, he can bring this new star tree back to the dormitory today.

Sun Ye also made great contributions to this. The subsequent conclusions and results have to wait for the professor to compile the statistics, so the laboratory will not be busy during this period.

Sun Ye didn't know whether she still needed to stay in the laboratory. The relationship between them was a bit awkward. Except for the professor, other people in the laboratory were not very welcoming to Sun Ye.

He thought that Sun Ye's appearance had snatched away the promotion position that should have belonged to him, but nothing happened. With the professor above him, he didn't dare to make a fuss.

But the atmosphere was awkward in every way, and Sun Ye felt uncomfortable.

"Come on, let's go outside and get some fresh air."

"Great!" Xinxingshu's cheers sounded in her mind. Sun Ye was holding a book in her hand. She was going to the small pavilion by the lake today.

There were many paths along the way. Since Xinxingshu had been here once before and remembered the way, Sun Ye didn't have to walk a long way this time and arrived at the small pavilion smoothly.

There was already someone in the small pavilion next to the intersection. Sun Ye didn't like staying with people, so he deliberately chose a small pavilion where no one was.

Placing the new star tree outside the pavilion, Sun Ye looked around and saw the blue sky, white clouds and green trees, all clearly reflected in the lake.

From time to time, a breeze blew by, rippling the mirror-like surface of the lake, and the blue sky and white clouds rippled like wrinkled silk fabrics.

The fragrance of green grass was brought by gusts of wind. Sun Ye leaned on the armrest with a natural smile on her face. She liked this picture of nature.

"Ye Zi, do you like it here?" Xinxingshu asked.

"Yeah, I like it very much."

"There's no better place, but I definitely like places with plants."

"Then I like it here too."

Sun Ye looked down at the energetic Xinxingshu, sat down upright, opened the book and began to read carefully.

The beauty is a beautiful landscape in her own right. Sun Ye did not deliberately pose, but every stroke of his brush fits into the scene.

"Hello, classmate. I'm Liu Feng from the Academy of Fine Arts. I'm very sorry for drawing your portrait without your consent."

Sun Ye looked up and a student who was carrying a drawing board and looked like he was collecting folk songs handed him the portrait he had drawn.

To be honest, Sun Ye was quite angry that someone had drawn her without even asking her to do so. The drawing was indeed quite good, but Sun Ye still said:

"I don't like people painting my portrait."

"I'm so sorry." Liu Feng apologized immediately. He had never encountered such a situation before. He was a well-known figure in the Academy of Fine Arts, and others were proud to get his paintings.

It was the first time he met someone who didn't buy his story, so he was inevitably surprised.

"I'll keep this painting."

"Also, I like quietness." Sun Ye glanced meaningfully at the small pavilion that was at the center of the crowd because of Liu Feng's arrival.

"Okay, okay, sorry to bother you." Liu Feng quickly left the pavilion and went to paint somewhere else.

He didn't dare to draw in front of Sun Ye anymore. That look was too oppressive, even scarier than the counselor's.

Sun Ye unfolded the painting, which was a pencil drawing. It was much better than her ink painting skills. No wonder it was so popular. It was not that she was arrogant. The fact that this painting could actually capture some of her expressions was already amazing.

Blue sky, white clouds, lake, green trees. The person sitting in the pavilion is covered in the golden clothes of the sun, shining brightly, holding a book casually in his hand. There is a potted plant not far away, which is observed very well.

The painting looked like an ethereal fairy, something rarely seen in the human world. Sun Ye glanced at it, lowered his eyelids, and folded it without mercy and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Ye Zi, don't you like this painting?" Xinxingshu asked cautiously. After all, Sun Ye was not in a very good mood at the moment.

"No, I don't like any portrait of me." Sun Ye replied.

The portrait of the high priest cannot be painted easily. If it is lost, it will inevitably be used by hostile forces to impersonate him. The elves in the Elf Forest are all naive little guys, and they have no guard against cunning and hateful guys.

"oh."

"What's wrong?" Sun Ye could tell that Xinxingshu sounded a little depressed, so he asked.

"Don't be angry. If you don't like this painting, don't look at it." said the New Star Tree. That was the first and only painting it and Ye Zi had ever made.

Seeing that he couldn't get any answers, Sun Ye put down the book, raised the New Star Tree, and said patiently:

"Then why are you unhappy? You told me what happened. Didn't we agree not to have any secrets?"

Sun Ye's patience with plants is surprisingly good. After all, such pure and lovely plants are rare in the human world. Only children under three or four years old can be so innocent.

"Okay, I said, I want that painting. There are Ye Zi and me in that painting." Xinxingshu said in a low voice, as if he was afraid that Sun Ye would be angry.

"I'll keep it if you want it. It's not a big deal."

"You don't like this painting, don't you? I don't want you to be unhappy."

"It's just there anyway, so it doesn't matter."

"Leaf, you're so nice, the best Twolegged creature I've ever met!"

"Um?"

"Oh, you're the best person I've ever met."

"Are you happy now?"

"hey-hey."

Another day passed by, and Sun Ye brought Xinxingshu back to the dormitory. Xinxingshu was very happy. He could see Ye Zi every day and be with her every day, which made those bad guys who tried to seduce Ye Zi very angry.

Classes resumed as normal, and Sun Ye from the research institute was transferred to Professor Liu as he wished. He felt much more comfortable working under his teacher.

The teacher also doesn't have so many students, which avoids unnecessary disputes.

"See you next semester, Ye Zi!"

"See you next semester."

Summer vacation arrived in a blink of an eye. Sun Ye and Ma Qiuhong packed their luggage early. There was nothing much to pack. Sun Ye carried a snakeskin bag, which contained her treasures, the two buckets of spring water from before.

Now I finally have time to take it home. It was a bit unsafe to leave it in the dormitory. I was always worried that someone would steal it, although it might also be that I was too nervous.

As for the new star tree, she placed it at the teacher's home and asked the teacher to take some time out of his busy schedule to water it, as it was not convenient for her to carry all the heavy bags along.

She dropped a drop of life-giving water on the Nova Tree, but no changes have appeared so far. When asked, it just keeps saying it feels very comfortable, and is clueless about anything else.

Fortunately, the trains were not crowded during the summer vacation, and she was not someone who would treat herself badly, so she bought a sleeper berth directly.

I got on the train with difficulty and found my seat. At that time, people who could buy a sleeper berth were from a relatively good family, and there was nothing weird or special about them.

Sun Ye was on the lower bunk, luckily, not on the top bunk, it would have been uncomfortable to sleep in that little space.

Sun Ye didn't bring any of his own bed sheets. After putting his package away, he just took off his shoes and clothes and lay on the bed, padding his pillow with his own clothes.

Let's just make do with this condition.

She didn't tell Sun's mother and the others that she was going home for the summer vacation. If she had told them, they would have to go to the provincial capital to pick her up.

She didn't want Sun Ma and the others to work so hard. Farm work was tiring enough, and she couldn't bear to see them dragging their tired bodies to the provincial capital.

Knowing that it would take about three days to reach the provincial capital, Sun Ye specially brought a bag of books to pass the time and study hard during the summer vacation.

The train was running with a "clang clang clang" sound. In Sun Ye's impression, time passed very quickly. Perhaps it can be said that when you do what you like, time runs very fast, as if afraid that you will catch its tail.

But after reading the book for the rest of the time, he only glanced over it and didn't remember anything in his mind. He couldn't concentrate on reading any further, so Sun Ye had no choice but to put the book back into his schoolbag and hold it in his arms in a daze.

The carriage was a bit stuffy, so Sun Ye walked to the aisle, sat on the bench next to it, and opened the window slightly. The people who had been staying in the carriage for a long time finally got a little fresh air to dissipate the smell.

It was really hot in July. Sun Ye was only wearing a thin piece of clothing. He was not a person who sweated easily, but now he was so stuffy in the carriage that he was sweating profusely.

She raised her hand and smoothed her bangs, letting the wind blow away the heat from her body and bring her coolness.

"Girl, are you from the capital?"

"Um."

A young wife took her two children to sit opposite Sun Ye. The two children were very neatly dressed and looked completely different from the kids in the Qianjin Brigade.

It is well-raised and clean, standing obediently beside its mother without making any noise. It is quite good.

It seemed like he came out of the car to get some fresh air and eat something to fill his stomach.

"Sister, can you tell us what the capital is like? My brother and I have never been to the capital."

The child's voice was tender and cute, full of curiosity, and his big, bright eyes looked at Sun Ye.

How could Sun Ye withstand this? He could only lower the white flag and surrender.

"Of course."

"The capital is very big, so big." Sun Ye stretched out his hands and gestured.

"There were so many people when the national flag was being raised, more than the number of people on the train. At a glance, all you could see were heads."

"Wow!"

“So many people.”

"There are dragons carved on the pillars in the square, with their fangs and claws bared, just like this." Sun Ye made claws with his hands, placed them next to his cheeks, and opened his mouth wide.

It vividly reproduces the scene at the time of the stone carving, except that the species are slightly different. The dragon is majestic and domineering, while Sun Ye's is cute.

The two little guys were so amused that they giggled and drooled. The aunt skillfully took out a handkerchief and wiped the two little mouths, and they were clean again.

"I don't know if it's teething, but it keeps drooling. I wipe it, and it keeps drooling. I wipe it, and it keeps drooling."

"Children are all like this."

Sun Ye stayed outside with the mother and her two children for another half day. From this side, he could see the situation in the carriage, so Sun Ye could chat, laugh and play leisurely.

The child slept a lot, so after a while, the mother and her two children went back to another carriage, leaving Sun Ye alone at the table here.

Sun Ye continued to look at the scene outside the window. The train was passing through the wild mountains and hills, and patches of green, withered plants flashed by.

The buildings are all different even if they are separated by several provinces. The customs are different every ten miles and the habits are different every hundred miles. What’s more, it is the x province which is thousands of miles away.

"We have arrived at the X Province Bus Stop. Passengers who wish to get off please be prepared."

The conductor held a big loudspeaker and shouted from beginning to end. Sun Ye was already prepared. The closer he got to home, the more excited he became and he couldn't sleep at all.

If there is really nothing to do, go and talk to the mother and her two children and play with the child.

Sun Ye learned that they also got off here. This aunt came with her two children to join the army.

Being a military wife has a very hard job. She has to take care of the elderly, the young, and keep the two kids tidy. Sun Ye deeply admires her.

Sun Ye himself was still a little empty-handed, and seeing that they were carrying a lot of bags, he pulled his two children so that the military wife could carry the bags.

After finally squeezing out of the car, Sun Ye held the hands of the two little ones tightly, and her snakeskin bag was hung on her shoulder.

She could still accept this level of force.

"Thank you so much, Ye Zi. If I hadn't met you, I really don't know if I could have gotten off this train safely."

"It's nothing." Sun Ye waved his hands quickly.

"Auntie, is someone coming to pick you up? You're bringing two children..."

"Yes, yes. I'll look for it. My husband said that if you see a green car with four wheels, go up and ask."

Sun Ye nodded after hearing this. It was good that someone came to pick her up, otherwise she would still be a little worried.

Looking around, the crowd was surging and it was difficult to find the car for a while.

Sun Ye looked at the people everywhere, carrying bags and backpacks, rushing around.

“There!”

Sun Ye was quite tall, and he quickly found the target by standing on tiptoe.

"Where? I didn't see it."

The military wife looked confused, she really didn't see it.

"Auntie, follow me. It's not far ahead."

"Okay, okay, okay."

It must be a four-seater car. Sun Ye had never seen this type of car before and thought uncertainly.

There was only this green car in the entire train station. Sun Ye came to the back of the car. The more he looked at the person in front of him, the more familiar he felt. However, he couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

The name came to his lips but he couldn't say it. Sun Ye frowned in confusion, walked over and patted the man on the shoulder.

The man in military uniform turned around, and Sun Ye shouted, "Brother Guo, why is it you?"

"Ye Zi!! You're back from vacation!!"

"You are here..."

"I'm here to pick someone up."

"Are you here to pick up this aunt?"

"Her name is Liu Sujuan. The battalion commander said she's the prettiest one in the crowd."

"I'm Liu Sujuan." The military wife behind her spoke hurriedly.

"Isn't this a coincidence?"

After settling the people down and putting them in the car, Sun Ye and Guo Jianwu chatted for a while and then parted ways.

Guo Jianwu said that he wanted to send Sun Ye to the Qianjin Brigade, but was rejected by Sun Ye. It seemed that Brother Guo was very busy, so she didn't want to bother him too much.

I heard that the management in the army is quite strict, so it would take a lot of effort to send her there, and it’s hard to explain her two big buckets of water.

After seeing off a few people, Sun Ye walked briskly towards the bus station next to him. This was the best bus station in the province because it was next to each other and he didn't have to spend much effort to find the bus stop.

The timing was just right, with the bus leaving in just over ten minutes. Sun Ye grinned quietly, thinking that it was better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Without wasting any time, the bus drove towards the county.

The bus was a bit tough. The road was uneven and the driver was driving so bumpy that it almost shook Sun Ye's lungs out.

I fought back the nausea that kept rising in my heart and opened the window! I had to open the window!

Sun Ye's entire head was stretched out of the car. At this moment, he had no awareness of traffic safety and just did whatever he felt comfortable with.

After shaking all the way, we finally arrived at the county after spending most of the afternoon.

The only way from the county to the Qianjin Brigade was on foot. Sun Ye took out a shriveled cake from his pocket and ate it bite by bite with his neck stretched out.

As for water, there is no water. All the water has been drunk and there is no more water to be found.

Tired, hungry and thirsty!

This is what Sun Ye really feels now. His eyes unconsciously glanced at the fountain of life in the snakeskin bag, and then he shook his head violently.

You can't drink such precious things now. With her physical condition, it would be a waste if she drank it.

The ox cart did not go towards the advancing group. Sun Ye looked up at the sky speechlessly, then looked down at his feet. He gritted his teeth and left.

That receding figure was as tragic and desolate as it could be.

The wind blew up a cloud of dust and sprinkled it on the back of Sun Ye's feet. Sun Ye ignored it completely. The muddy ground was scorching hot from the sun and was covered with powdery dust. When he stepped on it, the dust was five or six centimeters high.

Sun Ye glanced at the sun and estimated his walking speed. It would be almost evening when he got home, which was just the right time for dinner.

When she got home, big, juicy peaches, delicious meals, a soft bed, and cool mountain spring water were all waiting for her.

Relying on this belief, Sun Ye mustered his courage and walked towards the team step by step without stopping.

Looking at the rising smoke from the cooking stoves from afar on the mountain, I felt a little homesick and couldn't take a step forward.

I took a deep breath of the air from my hometown, and every breath was filled with the taste of what I missed.

She slung the package over her shoulder and continued walking home. She didn't want to say any more hellos. She didn't have the energy to say hello, so she deliberately chose a secluded path.

As Sun Ye wished, the road to his home was smooth. The gate was open. Sun Ye straightened his clothes at the side of the gate and shook off the dust on his feet.

After finishing everything, Sun Ye looked left and right before picking up the snakeskin bag at his feet and walking towards home step by step.

She didn't want to admit that her hands and feet were shaking uncontrollably.

"Linzi, come and light a fire for me. Where have you been running off to again?"

It was Sun Ma's voice, probably cooking in the kitchen. As for Sun Lin, he responded vaguely from the backyard.

“Here I come!”

Sun Ye put the snakeskin bag in the yard, walked into the kitchen, and started a fire naturally. Sun's mother didn't notice that it was Sun Ye who was lighting the fire.

She continued speaking as usual, "Linzi, what kind of girl do you like? Mom will find one for you. Look at Xiaowen's wife. She's only been married for a short time, and she's already pregnant."

"Why don't you say something? Every time I ask you, you remain silent, like a mute."

Sun's mother was cooking and became more and more angry as she spoke. The wok was making a lot of noise as she shoveled it. Sun Ye felt that the quality of the wok was really good and could withstand such great force from Sun's mother.

He put down the spatula with a "bang", put his hands on his hips and came over to pinch Sun Lin's ears, speaking as if it were a fart.

"leaf?!"

Mother Sun blinked in disbelief, rubbed her eyes with her hands, and quickly walked to Sun Ye and picked up Sun Ye who was lying on the small stool.

Sun Ye only showed his back teeth, and his back teeth could be seen clearly, and his eyes were narrowed into slits due to smiling.

I called out softly, "Mom, I'm back."

"Hey, Ye Zi is back. When did you come back? Are you tired? Go outside and show it to mom."

Sun's mother was obviously very excited, her saliva splashing everywhere when she spoke. She held Sun Ye tightly and refused to let go. As soon as she walked out of the kitchen door, she shouted loudly:

"Xuejun! Xuejun, come quickly, our Ye Zi is back."

"Wha...what, Leaf is back."

"Where, where is it?"

Dad Sun didn't even put on his shoes properly, and was still stomping around randomly at his feet.

"leaf!"

"dad."

"Hey, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

"leaf!"

"Big brother, second brother!"

The whole family gathered around Sun Ye and asked her about her well-being. Sun Ye pointed to her throat. She was indeed very thirsty. Her voice was a little hoarse and the friction could be clearly felt when she spoke.

Sun Ye broke out of the circle of love, walked quickly to the side of the water tank, picked up the water scoop with one hand, and poured it directly into his mouth.

A heavy rain began to fall in the dry desert. Sun Ye sighed and felt much more comfortable and alive.

"Drink slowly, drink slowly, be careful not to choke."

As soon as Sun Ma finished speaking, Sun Ye's cough was immediately heard from the other end. He looked helplessly at Sun Ma, whose poisonous milk power had increased.

Sun's mother didn't say anything, just carried Sun Ye on her back and patted him.

"Linzi, you go. No, I'll go. You guys stay here and chat with Ye Zi for a while. You must be tired from the long car ride. Mom will make you something delicious."

"Mom, I don't need to accompany you. Are there any fruits left on our peach tree?"

Sun Ye looked up at the sparse fruits on the peach tree. Was she still late?

"Yes, of course I have some, I saved them for you, Linzi, go pick one from the tree and let Ye Zi taste it."

"Okay, got it."

Sun Lin replied weakly. He had formed a conditioned reflex over the past few months. No matter what the matter was, he would never be wrong to call Lin Zizhun.

"Can you please show some spirit? If you speak so slowly, it will make people think you are sick."

"Yes, I understand!"

Mother Sun glared at Sun Lin, walked towards Sun Ye and smiled, then went straight into the room and took out the only piece of meat left, which was all lean.

Mother Sun knew that Ye Zi loved to eat meat, especially lean meat, and thought fatty meat was too greasy.

Sun Lin went to the backyard and got a pole. He hit a peach with a few strokes and handed it to Sun Ye, saying:

"Mom said all the peaches on this tree are reserved for you. My brother and I can't eat any of them."

Sun Ye was stunned after hearing this and looked at her eldest brother, seeking to know whether what her second brother said was true or not. It was not that she did not believe her second brother, but her second brother was a person who liked to exaggerate the facts and distort the facts, and only said things that were beneficial to himself.

"Don't listen to your second brother's nonsense. He made a mistake and won't be able to eat any peaches this year. As for me, I just pick a few to eat on ordinary days. You know I don't care about these appetites."

"Ye Zi, what are you carrying? It's so heavy?"

When Mr. Sun saw a snakeskin bag in the yard, he staggered as he picked it up because it was quite heavy.

It took a lot of effort for him, a grown man, to lift it.

"Oh, this one is a baby."

"Dad, I'll do it!"
