One morning, when Jiang Yue woke up, the small wooden bed beside her was empty and the small quilt was kicked into the corner.
"Where did Sui Sui go again?"
She looked out the window. The sun was rising, the temperature was pleasant, and she hadn't woken up too late. The child was full of energy. Yesterday, his father had taken him hunting in the mountains, and he had exhausted himself and gone to bed early. Today, he woke even earlier.
"I don't know. Maybe he's looking for fruit to eat in the backyard." Jiang Nian stood up and folded the small quilt on the small wooden bed.
Jiang Nian never allowed his son to run around in the house, disturbing Jiang Yue who slept in. Every day, he would run out to play by himself after waking up.
Jiang Yue laughed, not knowing if her son had mutated, or if she didn't know wolves had the natural ability to climb trees. Suisui, almost three years old, could climb trees more skillfully than any adult. Without noticing, he was already up the tree picking fruit in two or three quick swipes.
Jiang Nian: Maybe it was because the cat taught him, or maybe he learned it from the dog. He can climb trees, dig holes, and run over eaves and walls. This kid has learned everything.
No one knows a son better than his father. He really does climb the tree to pick fruits every year.
"Sister, take that basket over there. It's bigger."
Suisui had always had plenty to eat and drink, and he wasn't greedy. He just loved picking fruit. If he picked too many, he would only eat one or two, and give the rest to Fan Bai to take to the city to sell.
In Jiang Yue's words, it was like her family hired a child laborer who was still breastfeeding.
But Jiang Yue and his wife also spoiled him. The fruit trees on the back hill were left to Yuan Zhuangtou and his men to pick the fruit. As for the two rows of fruit trees and a melon field in the backyard, which yielded a good harvest every year, no outsiders were allowed to pick the fruit, so he kept it for himself to pick every year.
If they really can't pick them all and the season is almost over, they will help.
"Sister, catch it!"
Suisui was very strong. With her little hands, she broke the big pink peach and threw it to Fan Mo under the tree.
Jiang Yue no longer wanted to correct the issue of seniority between them, so they just let each of them talk about their own things.
Two baskets full of peaches were already placed at Fan Mo's feet. The empty basket in her hand was padded with rags to prevent the peaches from being damaged.
"Young Master, please be careful."
Fan Mo has been helping to raise his master since he was born. Although he has a cold face, he loves him from the bottom of his heart, almost like his own child.
Suisui is young but brave and not afraid at all.
Fan Jin sat down against a tree trunk with his legs crossed. He picked up a big peach from the basket, wiped it on his clothes, and took a bite.
These peaches are crisp, sweet, and fragrant. Not only are they sold out every day in the shop, but many small vendors even come to the farm to buy them. They say they are not easy to rot and can be stored for three or four days before being sold. They are very popular when brought back to the capital.
Sui Sui saw a peach that was bigger than his two fists and leaned forward excitedly.
An accident happened suddenly. With a "crack", the small branch under his feet broke instantly. Sui Sui reached out his hand in a hurry but failed to grab the trunk and fell down.
"ah--"
Fan Mo moved quickly. She stepped forward quickly, then grabbed Fan Jin's arm and pulled him forward.
Before Fan Jin could react, he fell to the ground. Then a heavy weight fell on his back...
He groaned, his internal organs almost being shaken out.
Suisui blinked, as if he was frightened but not at all. He looked at the person under his butt, "Brother, are you okay? Does it hurt?"
Fan Mo frowned and asked with concern: "Young Master, are you hurt? Are you scared?"
Sui Sui shook his head and replied obediently, "I'm fine."
Fan Jin, who was being used as a meat cushion, coughed a few times, and the peach fell to the ground, covered in mud. He shouted angrily, "Are you kidding me?! I'm the one who got hurt, okay?"
"Brother, are you really hurt? Does it hurt?" Sui Sui frowned, moved forward, and asked in his ear.
Fan Jin gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, "Young Master, can you get off my back first?"
If it happens twice more, it will really shorten your lifespan!
"My little ancestor, look at what you have done to your brother!" Jiang Yue rushed to rescue Fan Jin and took Suisui off his back.
But Sui Sui's body was very firm, so she couldn't hold him for long, and Jiang Nian soon took over.
Fan Jin stood up and stretched his muscles. The tree wasn't very tall, and the young master wasn't very heavy, so it wasn't so easy to get hurt. But if it happened a few more times, he really couldn't bear it.
Besides, not being injured won’t prevent him from filing a complaint.
Fan Jin put his hands on his hips and kept talking, his face full of anger. One moment, he was complaining about the young master getting into bed early in the morning and getting him out of bed to work. The next moment, he was complaining about stealing candy. The next moment, he was complaining about strangling a duck to death and scaring a chicken to death.
Jiang Nian spanked his son for being so disobedient.
Sui Sui's giggles, revealing a mouthful of small teeth, were so tender-hearted. But he was only well-behaved for less than half an hour before he struggled to run out to play again.
Jiang Yue rubbed her forehead. She didn't know where to begin scolding him for all the bad things he had done. He was the typical "I know I'm wrong" person, but "I'll do it again next time"...
Others were not as bold as Fan Jin in speaking out. Every time they saw her, they seemed to be hesitant to speak, perhaps because they wanted to complain but didn't dare.
Look, he is feeding fruit to the dog at home again.
Dahua and Xiaohua ran fast, and Dahei was caught by Suisui. He simply used his right hand to pry open the dog's mouth and stuffed a peach in with his other hand.
“Eat, eat, it’s delicious!”
Dahei's entire mouth was blocked by a big peach. He turned his head to look at Jiang Yue with tears in his eyes, as if asking for help...
Jiang Yue exhaled, walked over, took the peach out of the dog's mouth, and put it on the ground.
Sui Sui would go to pick fruits, "Mom, the peaches are delicious, give them to Hei Hei."
Jiang Yue hugged him, and seeing this, Dahei hurried out of the yard.
"Heihei, wait for me! Mommy, let me go, I want Heihei!"
"My dear, Heihei doesn't like to eat fruit. He is full of bones."
"Not full, not full! Its stomach is still empty!"
It is said that dogs dislike seven or eight-year-old children, but dogs don’t like two or three-year-old children either!
Jiang Yue hugged Sui Sui tightly, half coaxing, half threatening, "Are you going to listen to me? If you are, I will take you out to play. If you are not, your father and I will go out by ourselves, and you won't be able to see us for three or four months!"
Sui Sui was stunned. Seeing that her mother was silent and no longer struggling, she said, "Really? Mom, where are we going to play?"
