summer sinking

Yuzhou Town is remote and surrounded by mountains. On the other side of the mountains is the sea.

It is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has a beautiful environment. Most of the residents in the town make a living by farming and fishing.

Xu Sui walked across the stone bridge carrying a backpack and carrying large and small bags of health care products.

The stream under the bridge is gurgling and crystal clear, with small fish swimming in it, and small crabs and shrimps hiding under the cracks in the stones to watch the flowing water veins.

The Zheng family lives in an old-fashioned self-built house in the countryside. There is a tall pear tree in the yard. From a distance, you can see the plump and ripe fruits hanging on the pear tree.

When Xu Sui entered the yard, Grandma Zheng was rocking a rocking chair with a cattail leaf fan, sipping tea and enjoying the sun.

There are wind chimes hanging on the courtyard door, which move and ring with the wind.

She opened the door and walked in. The jingle of a jingle alerted her that someone was here.

Grandma Zheng looked at the door and saw that she didn't want the cattail leaf fan or the tea.He got up from the rocking chair and pulled Xu Sui to look left and right.

As she looked at it, little pearls were about to fall out of her eyes, "Nanny is back! Oh, she's lost weight! Come into the house with grandma, grandma has left you the big peach that will be grown on the mountain this year, and your love is still frozen under the refrigerator. Eat cherries, grandpa specially gave them to you over ice, they are so sweet."

"Not thin." Xu Sui's eyes were moist. Even though they hadn't seen each other for more than two years, they still missed her.

Being dragged away by the little old lady, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Grandma, please slow down."

It was the season when chestnuts were ripe. Grandpa Zheng and several young people in the village went to the mountains to harvest chestnuts.

Xu Sui said worriedly: "Grandpa, don't go to the mountains when you are old. The uneven mountain roads are too worrying."

Grandma Zheng rushed to pick up the things and kept saying yes, "Your grandpa can't be idle. When you come back, help grandma take care of him and talk to him well."

Entering the back room, Lao Huanggou Mantou, who was lying on the ground taking a nap, smelled a familiar scent and waggled his tail and pounced on Xu Sui.

Grandma Zheng smiled when she saw it and said, "I miss you too, steamed buns. Are you hungry? Grandma will cook you something to eat."

The steamed buns stuck to the back of her hand, and her tail was about to wag off. Her enthusiasm seemed to say, "Why did you come back?"

Xu Sui touched the dog's head of the steamed bun, and the steamed bun whined and crawled into her arms.

The steamed buns were picked up from the stream when Xu Sui first came to Yuzhou Town.

A one- or two-month-old yellow dog lay wet on the lower reaches of the stream, weak and dying.

Like her, no one wants it.

Seven-year-old Xu Sui took it back to the Zheng family. Afraid of being scolded by the Zheng family's grandparents, he hid it under the quilt and fed it spoonful by spoonful of leftover steamed buns soaked in porridge and rice soup.

The little yellow dog survived strongly, and Xu Sui named it Mantou.

With strength, Mantou heard noises and barking at night.

She was discovered by the Zheng family's grandparents about secretly raising puppies.

Xu Sui hugged the little yellow dog tightly and huddled in the corner shivering out of reflex, fearing to be scolded and even more afraid of being beaten.

Grandma Zheng complimented the puppy on how cute it was, and Grandpa Zheng made some milk powder for the puppy and said that he would have a little yellow dog to look after the house in the future.

The old couple helped Xu Sui build a dog house for Mantou.

Xu Sui's voice was low and hidden in his throat, "Grandma...isn't she angry? I soiled the quilt by raising steamed buns."

Grandma Zheng stroked her little head and said, "Wouldn't it be fine after washing her? Suisui is a good and caring child."

Grandpa Zheng brought the tools, smashed the old man's cigarettes, and took two sausages and distributed them to Xu Sui and Mantou, a small boy and a small dog. "Both children, don't rob the other."

Xu Sui bit into the salty sausage and realized for the first time that he didn't have to be scolded or beaten for everything, nor did he have to get mad and yell at everything.

Later, when the grapes on the hill behind Zheng's house were ripe, Grandpa Zheng took Xu Sui's hand and took her to pick them.

Steamed Bun ran after him.

When they arrived at the grape trellis, Grandpa Zheng picked her up and told her to pull the grapes hard.

The ripe grapes are sweet and juicy when picked.

The grandfather and grandson were wearing straw hats, their cheeks flushed from the sun.

At Xu Sui's teething stage, one of the front teeth was missing, and he looked silly and happy.Grandpa Zheng pinched her cheek and said with a smile: "After the age of [-], she will be my grandpa's daughter. We are one family."

The next day, Zheng Jingyan came back with Xu Manyue, and both of them were very happy.

Xu Manyue hugged Xu Sui and cried with joy, "Sui Sui, mom doesn't want you, she wants your scumbag father. Mom will never want to abandon you no matter what."

Zheng Jingyan wanted to touch Xu Sui, but Xu Sui was on guard, like a little beast whose tail had exploded after being stepped on.

He distressedly told her not to be afraid. He would be her father from now on and vowed to give her the best.

Mom is back, Xu Sui is far away from that hellish home, and has a new family.

The little yellow dog is no longer an abandoned little yellow dog. It has a sheltered home and is able to thrive.

That summer in the countryside, the creek, the cute little yellow dog, the sweet grapes, everything was shining.

It is the beginning of happiness after many years of hard work and happiness.

There are two fried golden and crispy fried eggs lying on the fragrant noodles, garnished with chopped green onions, and the soup base is fragrant.

Grandma Zheng took out the frozen cherries from the refrigerator and defrosted them in mountain spring water. She used a knife to peel the peaches that were bigger than the palm of her hand. "In the evening, grandma will cook chicken and stewed mushrooms for you. The mushrooms were picked by grandma in the mountains in the morning." It’s pure natural and pollution-free, so you’ll want to eat it after you keep it!”

Xu Sui blew on the hot noodles and rolled his eyes with a smile, "Grandma, are you going to the mountains too?"

Grandma Zheng cut the peaches and put them on the plate, laughing as she wanted to see which old hen in the chicken pen was fat.

The countryside is far away from the city, there is no car exhaust, and the air is fresh.There are no electronic devices, only TV to relieve fatigue, and the Internet is not smooth enough.

The flow of time becomes very slow here, and the day is long.

From Yunshu City to Yuzhou Town, it takes two or three hours to take a train and then take the eighteenth bend of Dabashan Road, which is tiring.

After eating love egg noodles and peaches, Xu Sui teased the steamed buns and fell asleep on the sofa.

When I woke up, the sun was setting in the west, and the fiery red sun was disappearing into the mountains.

The room darkened and Xu Sui turned on the light. He didn't know where his grandparents had gone.

The door was knocked three times rhythmically. Xu Sui rubbed his eyes and opened the door.

The moment he opened the door, Xu Sui felt that he was awake and dreaming, or that he opened the door in the wrong way.

She looked at the person in front of her dumbfounded, "Jiang Ye?"

Jiang Ye was calmer than her, "Is your hometown here?"

Xu Sui nodded, "Yeah."

Jiang Ye raised the bag in his hand, "My grandma asked me to deliver her corn seeds and pick up pears."

Xu Sui opened the door and said, "Come in and sit down. My grandparents don't seem to be here."

She took the seeds and put them on the table, then poured Jiang Ye a cup of tea made from honeysuckle.

Honeysuckle tea is slightly bitter, refreshing and fragrant.

Jiang Ye sat and suddenly smiled.

Xu Sui was confused, "Why are you laughing?"

"You were pretty tough yesterday."

"...?"

He prompted, "At the school gate."

Xu Sui was silent for a few seconds, "Did you see it?"

Jiang Ye: "Yes."

Xu Sui sighed, took a sip of tea, and said quietly: "Then you discovered my true identity. You know too much. I will assassinate you tonight."

Jiang Ye couldn't help laughing, "Okay, I'll wait."
