"Sister Luo, Brother Shengli and sister-in-law are back."

Ji Shuangquan came back from outside, carrying vegetables he had just picked from the field, and said, "Brother Shengli's mother-in-law is here too. They are talking to my brother-in-law outside."

Ji Luo nodded, cut the freshly washed melon into pieces, pointed and signaled him to eat it himself.

"Mom, I'm back."

Tuantuan had just washed himself in the river, and Ren Rongyan had dressed him. He was twisting a pair of clean shorts in his hand, "Mom, let's dry them in the sun."

Ji Luo casually threw his pants on the bamboo pole to dry, and handed him the melon in his hand, "Sit on the small stool and eat slowly. Don't drop any on your clothes."

"Mom, my feet are tired."

Tuantuan felt really tired today and couldn't walk anymore, so he sat down on the bench.

Ji Luo chuckled, squatted in front of him, and gently massaged his legs. "You've been playing in the mud in the fields all morning today. You must be tired. After lunch, you can take a nap at home."

"Ji Luo."

Ji Shengli and his wife pushed open the gate and came in. They both smiled when they saw her.

"Brother Shengli, sister-in-law." Ji Luo stood up and taught his son: "Tuan Tuan, did you call uncle and aunt?"

"I called out, and my sister too." Tuantuan had just spoken to them outside.

Wang Yaping's mother was walking behind with her granddaughter in her arms. Ji Luo also went over and politely called out, "Hello, Auntie."

"Hello, Ji Luo."

Wang Mu was also an ordinary rural woman. Wang Yaping looked quite like her. She smiled kindly, "I've heard from Shengli and Yaping that my cousin is very beautiful. Now that I see her, she really looks like a fairy."

"You flatter me."

Ji Luo smiled politely and went to look at her three-month-old niece, Ji Yulin. Seeing that she was awake and fair and tender, she reached out to hug her: "Little Linlin, auntie hug you."

"Mom, my sister wants to eat melon." Tuantuan came over.

"My dear, you eat. My sister is too young to eat." Ji Luo carried the child back to the main room and sat down on a chair. "Tuantuan, come and see your sister."

"Mom, I checked on my sister and she ignored me."

"My sister is still young, and she doesn't recognize you. When you come back next time, my sister will be older, and she will play with you."

Ji Luo was holding Linlin and playing with him, while Wang Yaping was handing out popsicles in a small foam box. She had just bought these in the ice storage in the county town and brought them back specially for everyone to cool down.

Tuantuan took his favorite mung bean popsicle and said happily, "Thank you, aunt."

"Tuantuan is so polite and well-behaved." Wang Yaping looked at him with a smile.

"This child is so well educated. I have never seen a child who is more polite or better looking than him." The Queen Mother looked at him with great admiration.

Ji Dalin and the others are back, and both of them came to see their granddaughter. Liu Hongyu has been busy with farm work at home these days and has not gone to the county town to visit her granddaughter. Now that she has washed her hands, she also came to hug her granddaughter and said to her son and daughter-in-law: "Ji Luo bought new clothes for everyone. You two also have a set each. Linlin has four sets of clothes, and there are many small toys. Bingqing also bought clothes and shoes for Linlin, and brought a large bag of dried cuttlefish, squid and kelp for you. Remember to bring them when you return to the county town."

"Ji Luo, this is so thoughtful of you. Thank you." Wang Yaping hurriedly thanked him.

"It's just a small gift, I hope you don't mind."

"Ji Luo, please don't say that, otherwise we will be too embarrassed to accept it."

This year, they went to Sand City to play during the Spring Festival. When they came back, Ji Luo gave her a lot of nutritional supplements. She felt quite embarrassed at the time.

Old Man Ji was busy in the threshing ground in the morning and came back later than them. When he entered the house, he greeted his mother-in-law first and said to his two grandsons across the street, "Wenwu, Shuangquan, go help Hongjuan prepare lunch. You should eat early at noon. The leaders of the county and the commune will come to the team to look for Ji Luo to do some work this afternoon. You should finish your meal early and get ready."

"okay."

Ji Wenwu and the others didn't know about this, so they asked, "Sister Luo, is the leader coming to our house?"

"I won't come. The captain will arrange it in the office."

Ji Luo stood up and said to his son, "Tuan Tuan, how about we cook the eel tonight?"

Tuantuan was licking the popsicle with gusto, and looked up and said, "Mom, I want to eat some douguagua."

Seeing that he wanted to eat beans, Ji Sanlin told his son without saying a word: "Shuangquan, go to the field and pick some more beans."

Tuantuan grinned and said, "Grandpa, the bean melons are delicious. Really delicious."

"If you like it, bring some back to Yangcheng to eat."

Li Hongjuan is diligent. She grows a lot of vegetables in the field, especially beans, which are enough for three meals a day.

"Tuantuan, don't you have any beans or guavas at home?" Wang Yaping asked him with a smile.

Tuan Tuan didn't remember, and asked his mother for help with a confused look on his face. Ji Luo smiled and said, "There are beans in Jingdu and Yangcheng, but they are of different varieties. They are not as soft as the beans at home, and they taste harder and crispier."

Old Lady Ji was sitting at the door of the main hall picking vegetables. She asked Ji Luo, "Do you usually buy vegetables to eat?"

"Well, there is a small flower bed in the backyard of my home in Kyoto, which is about one-third the size of this small yard. I got some vegetable seeds from my friend's house in Shacheng, and my mother-in-law turned the small flower bed into a vegetable garden. She planted two cucumber vines, two tomato plants, one winter squash each, and some peppers, leeks, and onions."

"The little guys stare at cucumbers and tomatoes every day. They steal and eat the ones that are a little bigger or have red spots. They never get into the pot. They go to Guangzhou before other vegetables grow up. We don't get to eat them even if we plant them."

"There is no vegetable farming here in Yangcheng. My mother-in-law is not at home, and everyone else basically eats in the army canteen. Only when we are on leave will we cook one or two meals occasionally. Now that we have moved there, we cook at home every day. There is a small market not far from the military family compound. The goods are quite complete, but there are not many varieties of vegetables."

Tuantuan understood what his mother said. He often went to buy vegetables with his grandmother, saying: "There are so many shrimps, fish, conches, fruits, and meat, pork, pork, and meat. Grandma bought them for me to eat."

Ren Rongyan had just gone to his neighbor's house and borrowed some hunting tools from him. He pushed the door open with his tools and asked, "Ren Yunqian, Dad is going to the mountains to hunt this afternoon to catch rabbits and pheasants. Do you want to go?"

"Let's go." Tuantuan jumped up excitedly, not even eating his popsicle, and said happily, "Dad, let's go."

"Not now, go after you take a nap."

Ren Rongyan put the tools under the windowsill and said, "There are snakes in the mountains. Are you afraid?"

"Don't worry, I'll crush it to death."

Tuan Tuan coordinated the movements very well. He kicked the snake hard, as if he wanted to crush it to death. He also said, "I want to catch Snake and give it to uncle. Snake will sleep with uncle."

Ji Luo: "...your uncle sneezed in Yangcheng. If you take Sheshe back with you, he will beat you up."

"Hehe, my dad protects me, my grandpa beats him, and my uncle hits him." Tuantuan is very smart and knows how to find the golden thigh accurately.
