Chapter 47 Bird Eggs
After saying this, she looked around Su Mingyue and didn't see any signs of injury. She breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "Sister, did you have lunch? I left some food for you! Do you want to eat now? I'll heat it up for you!"
Su Mingyue looked at Su Qingfeng's face full of worry and concern, and her heart warmed. She smiled and said to Su Qingfeng, "I went to the county. I was delayed by something there, so I was away for a long time. I don't have anything to do! I've had lunch, and I'm not hungry yet, so don't bother."
After Su Qingfeng heard Su Mingyue's words, the heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He let out a long sigh, then smiled and said to Su Mingyue softly, "I had lunch at my uncle's house today. Grandma was not at home, so my aunt cooked the meal. My aunt heard that you went to town and might not be back at noon, so when I finished eating, my aunt gave me another bowl of rice and vegetables and asked me to take it back and put it in the pot. She said that when you come back, you can heat it up and eat it if you are hungry."
Su Mingyue nodded, indicating that she understood. Seeing this, Su Qingfeng's lively eyes rolled around, and then he clung to Su Mingyue like a little monkey, asking her about various matters in the county.
Facing her brother's eager and curious gaze and endless questions, Su Mingyue did not show any impatience, but patiently selected some of them to tell.
Just like this, time passed quietly as the brother and sister asked and answered each other. After a long while, Su Qingfeng seemed to be finally satisfied, and stopped talking with some reluctance.
Seeing that her sister looked a little tired, she said to Su Mingyue sensibly, "Sister, are you tired? Go take a rest! Oh, by the way, I just forgot to mention that my second brother came at noon and dug up the vegetable plot in the backyard. He said it depends on what kind of vegetables you want to plant. When you have decided what vegetables to plant, tell him and he will come and plant them with you."
Su Mingyue heard this, nodded, and said to Su Qingfeng: "Okay, I understand. Let's talk about it when I wake up from my sleep!"
After that, Su Mingyue waved to Su Qingfeng, went back to her room, lay down on the kang, closed her eyes, and consciously put the food in order according to its type. Then, she fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing that his sister had fallen asleep, Su Qingfeng went to play in the yard by himself. After a while, his little friends Ergou and Shanwa came to find him.
Su Qingfeng originally wanted to watch over his sister while she slept, but when he heard Ergou and Shanwa say they were going to look for bird eggs, he remembered that the bird eggs he found last time were all eaten by his sister, and it seemed that his sister liked eating them very much.
So he ran out with Ergou and Shanwa, and when he went out, he remembered to close the door.
Su Mingyue slept for more than two hours. When she woke up, it was already getting dark and the room was extremely dark.
She didn't hear any movement from Su Qingfeng in the house, and doubts arose in her heart. Su Mingyue decided to use her mental power to investigate. As her mental power extended, she soon discovered that Su Qingfeng was not at home.
Su Mingyue couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and thought to herself: "Where on earth did Su Qingfeng go at this hour? Why hasn't he come back yet at this late hour?"
The more she thought about it, the more strange it seemed. She could no longer suppress her anxiety, so she quickly jumped out of bed and prepared to go to the village to look for Su Qingfeng.
As she was quickly putting on her clothes, she suddenly heard a slight noise—the door was slowly pushed open. Su Mingyue immediately directed her mental power toward the source of the sound.
As expected, the familiar figure appeared in front of the curtain - Su Qingfeng. At this moment, he looked like a naughty little cat, covered with dust and grass, and his face was also dirty.
What was most eye-catching was his small hands tightly protecting the opening of his pocket, as if there were some priceless treasures hidden inside.
Su Mingyue hurried out of the room, walked quickly to Su Qingfeng, and asked with concern: "Qingfeng, what on earth have you been doing? Look at how dirty you are! Also, what treasure do you have in your pocket?"
Su Qingfeng was startled by the sudden voice. When he saw it was his sister Su Mingyue, his hanging heart slowly fell back into his stomach and he relaxed.
At this time, Su Mingyue was looking up and down at her younger brother Su Qingfeng. She said to Su Qingfeng jokingly, "Look at your clothes, they are so dirty!"
After hearing what his sister said, Su Qingfeng couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, and a shy smile appeared on his face.
However, before his embarrassment completely disappeared, he heard Su Mingyue curiously ask, "What's in your bulging pocket?"
Hearing this, Su Qingfeng, who had been a little embarrassed just now, suddenly perked up, as if he had thrown all his previous embarrassment away.
He walked quickly to Su Mingyue, like a child eager to show off his treasure. He couldn't wait to put his hand into his pocket and then carefully took out the things inside.
"Sister, look here!" Su Qingfeng shouted to Su Mingyue with excitement on his face, and at the same time presented the item in his hand to her.
It turned out that there were bird eggs in his pocket.
Looking at Su Mingyue's surprised expression, Su Qingfeng continued proudly: "Sister, do you remember how delicious you ate these bird eggs last time? So today I went with Ergou and Shanwa to find a lot of them!" As he spoke, he shook the bird eggs in his hand, as if showing off his achievements to his sister.
Su Mingyue took a closer look and saw that there were quite a lot of them! She counted them and there were more than ten of them!
She praised Su Qingfeng: "Oh, how come you found so many today? You guys are really amazing! But... you didn't find them by climbing a tree?" Su Mingyue's tone was a little worried. After all, climbing a tree is not a safe thing.
When Su Qingfeng heard Su Mingyue asking if she had climbed any trees, her heart skipped a beat. She looked at Su Mingyue with a twinkling look in her eyes and replied with a little uneasiness, "Sister, the trees I climbed were not very tall. It's okay! And there are only three of us looking today. We moved to a new forest. So we found a lot more bird eggs today than before. Hehehe!"
As he spoke, he carefully observed the changes in Su Mingyue's expression, fearing that he would see his sister get angry.
