Haiyan Heqing Four O’clock Days

  Chapter 62 [Jing Lian Xia Sheng] The big string is noisy, the sound of rain, the heat is hard to dissipate, and the lotus is still flourishing [Dashu·一]

  It's the end of summer and the heat is great,

  Pour water and make half a cup of tea.

  Little summer heat blows yellow sand,

  Liqiuqiu come to eat watermelon.

——

  There was not much rain outside a hut, and there was no trace of water on the ground. The raindrops seemed to be evaporated by the heat before they reached the ground. Xiao Shu looked at the great heat that had already arrived.

"Hey, Kyushu is handed over to you. You are stronger than me. Remember to control and control. Don't let Kyushu get so hot and get sick." Faced with things about Kyushu, let alone Xiaoshu, these gods are all Surprisingly attentive.

  "Hello, Dashu!" Meng Jiuzhou greeted Dashu.

   "Okay, let's go back." Da Shu nodded, rubbed a small cloud in his palm, and felt that the temperature in his palm was a little lower before pulling Kyushu's little hand.

"Then I'll go, Kyushu, you have to take care of yourself." After that, Xiaoshu didn't forget to joking about Dashu, "My sister is very temperamental, and I am more capable of thundering and raining than me! Xianli It’s even hotter."

   "Well, I will, goodbye Xiaoshu sister!"

  Farewell to Xiaoshu, Meng Jiuzhou felt that this hut in the rain seemed to have been familiar to him, and after pondering for a while, Kyushu remembered-this was the residence of the grandfather who sold it to her and Jingzhe Peach Blossom Cake in spring!

  The cake-selling grandfather can be said to be one of the few people Meng Jiuzhou knew in this China, and worried that he might disturb the cake-selling grandfather when he visited, so he planned to see that old grandfather from a distance.

  As soon as Kyushu and Dashu approached, they saw a man with a woman and a little girl standing at the door of the house with umbrellas in their hands.

  This is the cake-seller grandfather who is thinking about his little granddaughter? Kyushu thought so.

   "Dad, we are back!" A call was heard accompanied by a knock on the door, and there was a sound of footsteps in the house.

  As soon as the door was opened, the little girl standing beside the man just knocked on the door and jumped in, "Grandpa, grandpa, I miss you so much!"

  The old grandfather selling cakes was taken aback first, his eyes were cloudy, and then he hugged the little granddaughter who threw himself into his arms tightly, and rubbed his granddaughter’s hair with his big hands that had been engraved with a few years.

  "Good granddaughter, grandpa misses you too." Unconsciously, there was a bit of crying in the voice, and the little granddaughter in her arms raised her head and looked at Grandpa selling cakes.

   "Grandpa, you... don't cry, did I let you..."

   "It's okay." The cake seller said, and took his granddaughter by both arms, and took a closer look, "Let grandpa take a look..."

   "Sure enough, it has grown a lot taller!"

  Recovered, the cake-seller grandfather had been standing in the rain for a long time. Although the rain was not too heavy, he also wetted his clothes. "Go in and sit down. Even though it's Futian, the child won't catch the cold."

  The cake-selling grandfather said, guarding the head of his granddaughter, he went into the house.

"I'm going to pour a few cups of tea, don't look at the rain here, even the rain is hot in the dog days, and let the little granddaughter drink our hot summer tea!" The old cake seller walked towards the back room. While instructing his son, "Go to the bathroom and take my granddaughter and daughter-in-law to dry their hair, and I will get your clothes."

  After a while, the cake seller turned a big circle back, and there were four cups of hot tea on the plate in his left hand, and the aroma of tea filled the living room of the house.

  The bag of clothes carried in his right hand was handed directly to his son by the old man who sold cakes.

   Put the tea on the plate on the table, and the cake seller said: "Drink two sips of hot tea before going to the house to change clothes."

The grandfather’s little granddaughter nodded, rubbed her head along the sofa, held the cup in both hands, handed it to her mouth, blew gently, took a sip, and her eyes lit up, "Grandpa , This tea is delicious!"

  The cake seller nodded, "Drink well and be careful of burning."

  Then the old man selling cakes went busy cooking, cutting watermelon, making small cakes...

  The old cake seller who changed his clothes was sitting on the sofa with his three sons. The clothes were very good-fitting.

   "Dad, take a rest, I'll come." First, the daughter-in-law can't stand it anymore. Although the grandfather keeps trying not to help, how can I take it easy as a junior?

  The son of the old cake seller knows that he can’t persuade him. If he is going to help, he may be said to be unhelpful, but he still says, “Dad, sit down and rest for a while. It’s a waste of doing it.”

Hearing the word "waste", the thrifty old man looked at the food on the table, his own eggs, chicken, live fish sold in the village, mushrooms from the mountain, dried pork and smoked bamboo shoots, a whole watermelon, Fruit cake... I really can't finish it.

  The cake-selling grandfather also sat down on the sofa, and the family happily began to eat.

   "Dad, we will buy a house in the city next year. You will go to the city with us?" After hesitating for a long time, the son of the cake seller finally spoke. He wanted to say this since he entered the door, and he never had a chance.

  The cake seller’s chopsticks, "What about these things in the house..."

   "No more, there is everything in the city."

   "Where are the chickens and ducks, who will grow them here?"

  "……"

   "No one is farming, what to eat or drink?"

  "……"

   "Dad... what we eat in the city, we can raise you."

   "The food in the city is changed out of thin air?"

  "……"

   "You raised me, I don't need you to raise me. My old arms and legs can still move!"

   "...Dad, what do you want?" The son was blocked and speechless. He knew that the cake-selling grandfather was right. No one is farming, so what do you eat? But he also wants to let the elderly take care of their lives...

   "Wait for a few years... The village says it is going to be mechanized, and then it will be handed over to the contractors in the village. I am going to the city with you."

  Seeing that my old father finally let go, "Okay, let's make it to Dad."

  The family continued to eat, their eyes were a little red, and Kyushu’s eyes were also red.
