Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 262 Entering the Grand View Garden

After picking up the child and walking back, some wild flowers on the side of the road have already bloomed, scattered everywhere.

Cheng Xinxin bouncingly ran ahead, squatting down to look at the little flowers.

"Father, look here, this kind of flower is so beautiful. What's its name?" Cheng Xinxin pointed to a small wild flower and asked in a childlike voice.

Cheng He was a little embarrassed for a while, and said: "This one has no name, it's called Wild Flower."

"What about this kind?" Cheng Xinxin pointed to another kind and asked.

"This... I don't know, it's also called wild flowers." Cheng He really didn't know that there were many wild flowers on the roadside without names.

Cheng Xinxin wasn't unhappy, she stood up and continued to run around.

Not far away, there is a low wild tree that also blooms yellow flowers.

Cheng Xinxin asked again, "Father, what kind of tree is this?"

Uh……

Cheng He replied: "I don't know, this one is called Wild Tree."

After this kind of tree blooms, the fruit it bears is like a stone, hard and astringent, and even cows don't eat it, so no one will give this thing a name.

"Wild tree..." Cheng Xinxin murmured, as if she was chewing and digesting the name.

There is really no way for children nowadays to fool around.

Cheng He is a little strange, this kind of wild flowers and wild trees were also called that when I was a child, why do I feel that it is not good now?

A few people who came to Taohua Village walked casually, just like Cheng Xinxin, admiring the early spring scenery of the mountain village, the wild flowers around, and so on.

Cheng Xin looked at them silently.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Father, is that person I don't know called a savage?"

Cheng He was taken aback, and thought for a while before he figured it out.

Is this girl contradicting herself?
A flower you don't know is called a wild flower; a tree you don't know is called a wild tree; and a person you don't know is called a savage?
Cheng He was sweating, and he had to be more serious when answering questions in the future.

He said: "Baby, people you don't know are called strangers, not savages."

"Stranger." Cheng Xinxin repeated it, as if trying to deepen his memory.

It seems that she is not dissatisfied because her father's answer to her is too perfunctory.

Cheng He took the child's little hand and walked slowly towards the house.

Spring is getting heavier and heavier, and a few mulberry trees on the side of the road have also sprouted.

He remembered that he had raised silkworms when he was a child, and at first hatched silkworm eggs with matchboxes, which looked like something precious.Later, the silkworms grew bigger and bigger, picking mulberry leaves every day to feed them was not bothersome at all.

That is a pet besides dogs and cats.

In a childhood without much entertainment, silkworm rearing can be regarded as his childhood memories.

"Honey, do you want to raise silkworms?" Cheng He asked Cheng Xinxin with a smile.

"What kind of silkworms are you raising?" Cheng Xinxin didn't know.

"It's a small silkworm that spins silk. It eats mulberry leaves." Cheng He said.

It sounded very interesting, Cheng Xinxin nodded quickly and said, "Father, I want to raise silkworms."

Cheng He smiled and said "um".

It’s just that Taohua Village doesn’t take sericulture as an industry. When I was young, there were some sericulture families, but now there are no more.Not even silkworm eggs.

However, this is not difficult.

There is almighty online shopping, which is nothing to worry about.

Anyway, it’s just for fun, just buy some and bring them back.

……

On the next day, early in the morning, Cheng He had just had breakfast with his children and was clearing up the dishes when Su Youyue's family came.

"It's so early?" Cheng He wiped his hands in a hurry and ran out to pick him up.

Su Youyue got out of the car, took out several big bags from the trunk, and said, "Come on, let your daughter play with it."

Several bags with children's toys and some children's snacks.

Cheng He said: "Come here, what else do you bring! You used to come here empty-handed!"

He has never talked about these empty etiquette, anyway, they are all acquaintances.

Su Youyue thought about it for a while, and it seems that this is really the case. She came here a few times before, but all came empty-handed, and that was all last year.

The first time I came here, I was looking for Cheng He to buy a ginseng plant. At that time, I came empty-handed; then I discovered Su Lan, and then I stayed in the village for a few months, sitting on the ground to study, let alone talk about it. No more presents.

He said: "So, I really don't like etiquette. My wife asked me to buy it."

While talking, two more people got out of the car, and at first sight they were Su Youyue's wife and children.

His son took the senior high school entrance examination this year, but he was quite tall, seeming to be slightly taller than Su Youyue.But it is very thin, and if it is thin, it looks a bit hunchbacked.

I don't know if it's a thin-skinned thing or something, but I look a little dull, and I don't like to greet people when I come to a strange place.

After Su Youyue's wife got out of the car, she looked around casually. The peach blossoms were still in bloom, and many wild flowers were in full bloom. It was a scene of spring in the mountains. She sighed and said, "It's so beautiful here, and the air is good."

Then he said to his son: "Su Hang, don't you know how to say hello when you meet people? Are you so old, do you still need your mother to teach you?"

Su Hang, who was wearing glasses, lowered his head and greeted in a low voice: "Hello, Uncle."

Cheng He said quickly: "Come on, come in."

Being called "Uncle" by such a big kid seems a bit old, but since Wen Xue is about to take the college entrance examination, she also calls him "Uncle", so it doesn't matter so much.

Otherwise, let him call "Big Brother"?Then Cheng He himself has to call Su Youyue "uncle"?

No, this loss cannot be taken.

If you look old, you will look old.

Su Youyue's wife followed into the small courtyard, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Oh my God, this house is so beautifully built! It's so beautiful... Oh, there is a small pavilion here... Look at this The stone road...the yard is like a small garden!"

Walking all the way, amazed all the way.

Su Youyue said to her in a low voice: "Oh, don't be like a grandma Liu who has entered the Grand View Garden, making a fuss and making a fuss about everything you see."

His wife rolled her eyes at him: "What? Isn't it beautiful here? Are you saying that I have bad eyesight?"

"Okay, okay, you have a good eye!" Su Youyue said quickly, "Alright, can we pay attention to our image? Shouting in other people's yard, what does it look like!"

Su Youyue's wife snorted disdainfully, gave him another look, and went to appreciate it on her own.

However, she no longer fussed as before, but silently marveled, her eyes widened.

She looked at the yard enviously, silently estimated the area in her heart, then converted it to the price in the city, and calculated the price in her heart.

But looking at the design of the small courtyard and the shape of the main house, I gradually feel that, in terms of the house alone, the houses in the city cannot keep up with this place.

Among other things, how big is this yard alone?
In the city, apart from villas, no one has such a large courtyard.

This yard is really well arranged!

Even though she is not young anymore, she still can't help being envious when she sees the swing chairs in the yard, the leisure tables and stools in the pavilion, and the flowers and plants on the edge of the yard.

If I can have such a yard in my own house, I would also like to dress up like this.

On weekends when she didn't have to go to school, Cheng Xinxin was playing in the yard, telling stories to the white-haired wild goose.

When the stranger arrived at home, she suddenly became a little cautious, crouched in a corner with the wild goose in her arms, and looked here from afar.

The big yellow dog stood in front of her very righteously, staring at the guest vigilantly.

Because it was brought in by Cheng He, it didn't call out, but it was his duty to protect the little master, and it would not neglect its duties.

While talking to Su Youyue, Cheng He called to her: "Xinxin, this is Uncle Su, hurry up, come and call."

Cheng Xinxin put her arms around the wild goose, but didn't make a sound.

Su Youyue smiled and said, "Cheng Xinxin, you don't remember me so soon? Didn't I come to your house last year?"

Cheng Xinxin looked blank, saying that she didn't remember coming, it's been too long.

Cheng He quickly rummaged through the bag he had just received, and said, "Hey, there's sugar here, and it's still pink!"

When Cheng Xinxin heard this, she immediately ran over.

Wild geese and rhubarb dogs followed closely behind.

Cheng He handed her a candy and said, "Uncle Su bought this candy. If you want to eat it, what should you say?"

Cheng Xinxin rolled her eyes and said softly, "Thank you, Uncle Su."

"Hey, be good, be good!" Su Youyue said.

Cheng Xinxin got the candy, turned around and ran away again.
