my daughter my hometown

Chapter 10
The two chatted a few more words, Su Wu picked up Su Wan and walked towards home.

The little girl was lying on her father's shoulder, staring helplessly at the little starling on the ground, making an unintelligible sound.

Although she was almost two years old, she hadn't really learned pronunciation before, so she could only scream ahhh for the time being.

Su Wu blocked the little girl's sight and subconsciously taught her pronunciation.

"Look here every night, and follow Dad's mouth and say, Xiaoba, goodbye."

Su Wan turned a blind eye and turned around like a loach, unswervingly following the figure of the little bird on the ground.

Su Qing couldn't bear it, and quickly picked up the starling on the ground and put it on Su Wu's shoulder.

"Let Xiao Ba stay with her for a while? Anyway, Xiao Ba knows the way, and when he has had enough fun, he will fly back by himself."

She comforted: "Xiao Wu, don't worry, it's not something that a child can learn to speak immediately, you have to take your time."

"I understand that, thank you, Miss Qing." Su Wu smiled, and patted the little girl's back lightly, "Wan Wan, say goodbye to Aunt Qing."

Su Wan still didn't respond, but feeling her father's big hand, she habitually grabbed Su Wu's collar.The two big bright eyes looked contentedly at the little bird that was close at hand.

Su Wu saw it.

Well, it doesn't look like this is going to be rushed.

Walking while thinking, passing by the group of children playing with the tiger, Su Wu took out some pre-bought candies and gave them one by one.

Under the power of sweets, the children who had no resistance knew all the answers to Su Wu's questions, and finally learned a dumbfounding thing.

Although this tiger looks majestic, it is actually not that big, only about four or five years old.It belonged to a girl named Su Xiaolan, named Abu.

Isn't the tiger named Abu the cloth tiger?

"Good name." Su Wu praised with a strange face, turned and walked towards his hometown.

Every few steps, villagers heard the news and came out to watch him and Su Wan. They greeted each other with a smile, and looked curiously at the little girl on his shoulder staring at the bird with big eyes.

Su Wu was not surprised.

The village is so big, and if any trivial matter happens, the whole village can know it clearly without the effort of a cup of tea.

He responded to them generously, "Well, I'm back. Hello xxx, this is my daughter, isn't she beautiful!"

My daughter is so beautiful, no matter how cute she looks, there is no need to hide it.

The most important thing is that in the mountain village, it is quite normal for Su Wu to have sons and daughters at his age.

I don't know how many times he responded to the questioning, and he finally walked in front of his own house.

Su Wu's house is at the back of the whole village, close to the mountain, and occupies quite a large area.If it is in a city where every inch of land is very expensive, the area of ​​his house is estimated to be able to build a small school.

Seeing the familiar door, Su Wu became more anxious.

He hurried a few steps, and was about to take out the key to open the courtyard door, when he heard a loud whirring sound above his head.

Su Wu looked up.

Good guy, a big gray bird with wings spread out over a meter long descended from the sky, and landed on the top of the door lintel aggressively.It quacked and looked at the two with a murderous look.

Su Jing's starling screamed strangely in fright, and fell off Su Wu's shoulder with a somersault.It seemed to have forgotten how to fly, so it walked away quickly with its thin feet and without looking back.

"Little Ba Xiaoba, why are you running?" Su Wu shouted a few times, seeing that mynah didn't dare to stop and fled with his tail between his legs.He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he turned his head and cursed at the big bird, "Fantuan, are you stupid? You don't recognize me!"

He had recognized it a long time ago, the big gray bird in front of him was his cousin Su Xue's wild goose, its name was Fantuan.

Generally speaking, rice is white, but not necessarily in mountain villages.Because of the shortage of food, the villagers usually add some coarse grains and mix them in order to eat enough, so they show different colors.

Su Wu saw this wild goose for the first time, and the rice he ate happened to be gray, and the little wild goose looked like fluffy rice balls, so he helped Su Xue, who was currently babbling, to name the wild goose, rice balls .

Hearing Su Wu's voice, the door to the courtyard not far from next door creaked open, and a tall, rosy-cheeked girl poked her head out suspiciously.

When she saw Su Wu, she immediately became surprised and happy, and then she rushed over.

"Brother, I'm not mistaken, is it really you?"

This is Su Wu's cousin, Su Xue.

The two have the same grandparents and are closer relatives than Su Jing.

As soon as she rushed in front of Su Wu, the excited Su Xue noticed the little man on his shoulder, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes in shock.

"Brother, this... who is this? So cute, where did you steal the child?"

Su Wu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he casually gave Su Xue a chestnut, took off the luggage on his back and threw it to her, then opened his courtyard door and walked in.

"Can you speak? What is stolen?"

"This is my daughter, your niece. The name is Su Wan, Wan Xia's Wan."

Su Xue rubbed her aching head in bewilderment, followed behind with her luggage in her arms.

"Really? Is this really your daughter?" She screamed strangely, "Then I have grown up and become an aunt?"

Su Wu shook his head, ignoring the silly girl.

The whole Yangxin Valley is so big, everyone's generation is different.Some children are born with grandparents because of their seniority, so what is an aunt?

The wild goose named Fantuan also recognized Su Wu now, it quacked a few times, spread its wings and flew towards the center of the yard.

As soon as Su Wan was put down, the greedy Su Xue couldn't wait to come over and touch the little girl.

Su Wu stared, and stretched out his hand to stop her.

"Go, go, look at you, sweating profusely, what were you doing just now?" He explained: "The child is still young, and her immunity is not strong. You should go wash up and come back to tease her."

"Oh." Su Xue withdrew her hand sullenly, and she muttered, "Didn't this go to the field to collect some groundnuts and just came back."

Speaking of this, Su Xue looked excited.

"Brother, the flowers in the field are growing well this year. They are plump and sweet. Shall I go back and cook some peanuts? I remember that you used to like boiled peanuts the most."

"It's still full and sweet, you think it's an advertisement." Su Wu looked around his home haha.

Although the yard in front of me was dilapidated, it was still clean and tidy. It was obvious that someone came in from time to time to clean it up.

He nodded in satisfaction, and responded casually: "But having said that, I really miss the taste of boiled peanuts. Go, go! Huh..."

Su Wu exclaimed: "What are the rice balls doing?"

Wild geese not far away are standing on several large water tanks in the middle of the yard with their wings spread.A pair of round eyes stared closely at Su Wu, from time to time he rattled a few times, as if to prevent him from stealing.

Su Xue giggled, "Fantuan, it's worried about you stealing its little fish."

"What the hell? I'll steal its fish?"

Su Wu was baffled.

Holding Su Wan together, the three of them strolled along.Walking to the big water tank in the center of the yard, Su Wu brushed the geese aside casually. He looked down and was startled.

These large tanks are filled with water, and the water is densely packed with small fish that are two to three fingers wide, and they are swimming vigorously and fast one by one.

Perhaps the wild geese standing at the mouth of the tank frightened these small fishes, and they all dived crazily.For a while, the bottom of the tank was full of fish, and it was so densely packed that it was hard to see how many there were.

"What is this for? Where did this fish come from?"

Su Wu was dumbfounded.

These jars were made of cement when his parents were still there, and they were going to be used to pickle vegetables.Each is very large, more than one meter high and more than one meter wide in diameter.Not to mention pickles, taking a bath is not a problem.

It's just that his parents died later, and these tanks have been piled up in the middle of the yard before they were used, and no one touched them again.

Unexpectedly, it has now become a fish pond for this wild goose.

Or a fish tank!
Facing Su Wu's suspicious eyes, Su Xue quickly turned the fire to the other side. She pointed at the wild goose and said, "It's none of my business, it's all Fantuan's idea."

Su Xue quickly explained the situation, and then Su Wu understood what happened, and couldn't laugh or cry.

This rice ball is one year younger than Su Xue, and has lived for fifteen or sixteen years, and has already had children in groups.

Although they are all migratory birds, Fantuan is different from her children. It has been staying in Yangxin Valley to live and work in peace and contentment.I never have to follow other geese to migrate thousands of miles from south to north to autumn to spring.

Now is summer, a good season for all things to reproduce, and the wild geese are no exception.

Fantuan is working hard to hoard food, and it has caught the small fish in the water tanks in front of it one by one.

When the wild geese flew south in autumn and her children flew across the sky, it would bring them down to have a good meal, and then send them away.

"How many children does Fantuan have?" Su Wu was very curious.

Su Xue hesitated for a moment, and she had a bitter face: "A lot, anyway, last year, our two yards couldn't stand together. Afterwards, I had to clean it for a long time..."

Su Wu thought about the scene of hundreds of wild geese crowding in his yard, and couldn't help wiping off his sweat, "This guy is capable of giving birth."

"Then this fish is not enough..."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand to fish it into the tank, but Su Wu stopped before touching the water.

The devil knows how long the water has been stored, and he will hold his daughter in his arms soon.

Seeing the owner suddenly raised his hand, Fantuan hesitated for a moment, and with a shove, his long head plunged into the water, and when he lifted it up again, he had already caught a small fish in his mouth.

It walked a few steps, brought the little fish in front of the two of them, and quacked a few times, as if saying it was for you.

What a good fisherman!Su Wu was dumbfounded.

However, Su Xue came over and took a look, then waved her hands in disgust.

"Fantuan, this fish is too small, you should keep it for yourself, I don't want it, absolutely not. You hurry up and catch a big one, I'm going to make fish soup for my brother tonight."

Su Xue didn't want it, but Su Wan at Su Wu's feet stretched out her little hand with all her strength, her eyes shining brightly and she yelled, she didn't know whether she wanted to touch the wild goose's neck or catch the little fish.
