Chapter 4 The Fig Tree
It is said that the new general is very powerful, and he will subdue those soldiers.

After Su Jiu's "splashing" incident last time, no one came to take a bath in the river, and it finally stopped for a summer.

Not only that, but the low roar of the barracks being drilled can often be heard.

Su Jiu was in a daze in the small courtyard, because she was considering whether to go to Beijing with Xiao Shan in a few days. When the autumn harvest time comes, it is the time of the autumn exam every year. Parents are busy at home, so they can go with them She is the only one left.Facing the bigness of the outside world, the many good things, and the more delicious food, she began to hesitate.

Not for anything else, but because her pockets are empty, and she has no car or horse, she can only walk over with two feet. Would rather be bored at home.

At that time, old man Su had finished his work in the field and was walking home with a hoe, humming his favorite melodious tune along the way, his face brimming with happiness.

This year's grain harvest is good enough for their family to eat for a year, and the remaining money is enough for Xiao Shan to go to Beijing for the exam, and he can also buy Xiao Shan some nice clothes.

Thinking of this, old man Su opened the door and entered the yard, just as he saw Su Jiu staring at the fig tree drooling for nothing.

"Damn girl, have you cooked yet? Your mother is still starving in the field."

"It's done, keep it warm in the pot." Su Jiu was a little absent-minded.

"Go and get it. Dad won't eat at home at noon. You send the meal to your mother, and then help your mother to be busy. You eat and do nothing all day long, and you don't even talk about doing farm work."

"Oh!" Su Jiu was weak.

In modern times, she is also a child in the countryside, but she has never done any work in the field.Apart from studying and going to work, she seldom even washes the dishes.It's not that she didn't help when she came here, but she didn't know grass and grain seedlings. After ruining the harvest for a whole year, she ate a meal of old man Su's soles, so she could only cook at home Do the laundry.

"Hey..." The memories flooded her just like that. Su Jiu often thought, how is the modern mom?

The old man Su put down the hoe, moved the ladder and was about to climb the tree.

"Father, what are you going to do?"

"Pick some fruits and send them to the veterans. After this winter, they will retire and return home."

"Oh, ah?" Su Jiu was taken aback.

In the past few years, she didn't catch any food, and Old Man Su picked them all up and gave them away, and the ones who gave away were none other than those veterans in the frontier who always drank with him.This time the frontier fortress was strictly controlled, and no one was allowed to enter or leave the barracks.She thought, these figs should be able to be delivered to her mouth!
I don't want to, I still can't eat it once.

"Father, don't give it away, people who are leaving, can't we stay and eat by ourselves?! Father..."

"Shouting, not like a girl's house. Come on, carry it, daddy will go up and pick some, it's a bit late this year."

"Father, um, can you ask my daughter to try some of them as well, as every year she will rot before eating a few bites."

In ancient times, there were no such snacks for tooth offerings. The only thing she looked forward to was the fig tree at home, but when it was her family's turn to eat, it had already rotted to the ground.No one can understand how much her heart hurts as a good foodie!
Old man Su didn't drink much today, so he was very sober. Seeing his daughter's pitiful appearance, he also agreed, "Go and get another basket. I'll be greedy all day long."
