After lying on the bed for a few days, Su Mo felt that he was about to get moldy, and when Xiu Niang agreed that he could get out of bed, it was rare that he regained some energy.

"You're just a little better, just walk in the yard, don't go out!"

Xiu Niang put on clothes for her own boy, and told her not to worry about it, but she didn't say a word, she was afraid that those wild boys in the village would make trouble.

"mother--"

Su Mo looked at the clothes that were about to be put on him, and after holding back a few times, he failed. He looked horizontally and vertically, no matter the color or style - these clothes are all for girls!

"what happened?"

Xiuniang stopped what she was doing and looked at her little son who was hesitating to speak, her little face was blushing, and she was rarely angry.

"Can I not wear these?"

Su Mo still said it out, no matter why the previous "Cuihua" endured wearing women's clothes, he didn't want to.Even if he was suspected because of this, he went all out.

"No, how many times has mother told you? The fortune teller said that only by raising you as a girl until you are ten years old can you be safe and sound, free from illness and disaster. Even this name was given by the husband.

Other mothers can agree, but this one—”

As Xiuniang said, tears started to fall, and she didn't want a good boy to pretend to be a girl all day long, there was really no way.The child almost died when he was two years old. If he hadn't listened to the fortune teller, he probably wouldn't be alive now.

"Mother, don't cry."

In the education Su Mo received since she was a child, there was no such thing as making girls cry, even if they were older.Seeing Xiu Niang's sad look, he clumsily reached out to wipe her tears, the clothes are so amazing, forget it!Anyway, judging by her previous attitude, persistence is useless.

"Good, let's go out."

She tied up her son's messy hair with cloth strips, Xiu Niang patted his head and said.

"..."

Su Mo was speechless, the only consolation was that Xiu Niang didn't braid his hair, maybe Cuihua had protested before?

He had never been to the countryside before, that is, he had been to a farmhouse when he was traveling. This time, Su Mo had seen a real farmyard.

The three large tile-roofed houses face south, and the east is the kitchen. The yard is very large. In addition to the chicken coop, there is also a small vegetable field.At this time, white smoke was rising from the chimney, and the wind fluttered into the air.

Maybe it's not in season, there are only some tender green seedlings in the vegetable field, and I don't know what they are planting.

Walking under the sycamore tree in the yard, Su Mo rarely stretched his waist regardless of his image, half-closed his eyes to let the sunlight shine all over his body, and performed a simple ultraviolet disinfection.

The sweet fragrance of sycamore flowers wafted in the morning air, which was refreshing. When you looked up, you could see a string of small trumpets, as if they were playing cheerful songs.Miraculously, Su Mo's impetuous mood settled down.

"Cuckoo-"

Not far away, an old hen shook its wings, and a dozen fluffy little guys around it were chirping. The golden fluff looked so soft that one couldn't help but want to touch it.

Su Mo started to walk over, but was stopped by a smiling voice - "Don't go over, the old hen is fierce, the back of your hand doesn't hurt anymore?"

When Taohua came out of the room, she saw the expression on the younger brother's face eager to try, and couldn't help being amused.How many times is this?How old can't learn the lesson.

"I'll just touch..."

Listening to a girl younger than himself preaching, Su Mo was uncomfortable and authentic. Although the body was a child, his mental age was in his twenties.

While the two were talking, Xiu Niang came out of the kitchen with breakfast.In the steamed bun basket were several steamed buns with mixed noodles, a plate of dried radish, a plate of dried tofu, and three bowls of steaming sweet potato porridge.Why do you say three bowls?Because there is also a bowl of brown rice porridge that Su Mo often eats these days.

In this way, when eating, Xiuniang and Taohua only picked up dried radish, and Lanhua occasionally extended her chopsticks to dried tofu, also looking cautious.She tried her best not to cast her eyes on her younger brother's bowl, and concentrated on eating her own sweet potato porridge.

"..."

After eating such a meal, Su Mo originally felt that he couldn't eat it, but seeing this situation, he suddenly felt that it was not so unpalatable.For some reason, his nose felt a little sour, so he picked up a chopstick of dried tofu and put it in Lanhua's bowl.No matter how precocious she was before, in the final analysis she was just a little girl of eight or nine years old.

Seeing the dried tofu falling into her bowl, Lan Hua was a little surprised.Behind her parents' backs, she often robs this brother for food, and often threatens him not to speak, so this kid is usually not close to her, and even a little afraid.It was the first time that he took the initiative to bring food to her like this.

Su Mo pretended not to see Lan Hua's surprised expression, simply "doing nothing but doing nothing", and picked up another chopstick for Xiu Niang and Tao Hua.

"You kid—"

Xiu Niang's eyes were red, she turned her back and wiped it with her sleeve, but after all she didn't eat it, she put the dried tofu into the bowl of her youngest son.

"If my mother doesn't eat it, I won't eat it either."

Su Mo had a headache, so in desperation, he had to use his "killer mace".He can't do anything like eating alone.Besides, isn't it just a piece of tofu? As for such a big reaction?As everyone knows, this kind of him is even more painful in the eyes of others.

"Mother, just eat it. I'll buy some more when I go to the town to hand in the handkerchief."

Taohua glanced at her younger brother who was sitting obediently. After waking up this time, there seemed to be a little change.In the past, I was taciturn, and I would obediently accept almost everything, but I also felt that other people's contributions were taken for granted, unlike now that I don't care about my family anymore.

"well."

After all, Xiuniang still picked up her chopsticks, she just felt that today's dried tofu is more fragrant than meat.

After dinner, Xiuniang went to work in the fields as usual, Taohua was going to the town, and even Lanhua took a bamboo basket to mow the grass.

Surprisingly, Su Mo was the only one left in the yard, along with a group of chirping chickens.I wanted to find some entertainment to pass the time, but found that none of my previous hobbies were applicable here.

Thinking about what Xiuniang told him before, he didn't plan to leave the yard for the time being. It's not that he wasn't curious about the world outside the yard, but he still lacked the courage to go out wearing this suit!Even if you want to get familiar with the environment here, there is plenty of time, and there will be a long time to come.

Not wanting to go back to the room full of medicine smell, Su Mo simply moved two wooden chairs together and basked in the sun under the plane tree, feeling drowsy gradually.

Half asleep and half awake, he vaguely felt a figure approaching, and the next moment he was hugged into a firm embrace.A sour smell of sweat came to his nostrils, making him almost breathless—"It stinks!"

"Okay, how dare you think your father is stinky!"

Hearty laughter sounded in the yard, followed by a slap on the buttocks of Su Mo.

"..."

This slap knocked all of Su Mo's drowsiness away. As far back as I can remember, this was the first time anyone dared to spank his... ass... Even though it didn't hurt at all, there was still an uncontrollable sense of shame in his heart .

He opened his eyes and looked at this cheap old man without a trace. Well, a typical rural man, tall and strong, burly and powerful, with a big square face, and a simple and honest smile.

"Silly boy, why are you sleeping outside? What if you catch a cold?"

Su Gui smiled and put his son down, fearing that he would be suffocated, the smell was really bad after traveling day and night.

"Father, why did you come back early? Mother said there are still ten days."

Su Mo tried her best to adjust her expression so that she could smile in surprise. In fact, she wasn't so happy, she was really surprised.Looking back on my previous performance, there should be nothing wrong!

"My boss has something to do, so I paid my wages and asked everyone to come back early." Speaking of this, Su Gui was even happier. My boss is a good person, even if he came back early, his wages would still be the same, and he would not lose a penny. "Look, what delicious food did Dad bring you?"

It was only then that Su Mo realized that there was a small paper bag on the wooden table, which must have been some snacks or something.Open one layer, there is another layer, open it again, there is actually another layer inside, when Su Gui was not paying attention, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Sure enough, there were some scattered snacks in the paper bag. They were so pressed that they couldn't see their original shape. The processing was also very simple. I don't know if it's been a long time, and they still have a strange smell.Naturally, Su Mo didn't like this kind of thing, let alone eat it.

"Why don't you eat it? Didn't you like these snacks the most before?"

Su Gui scratched his head, and asked in a strange way, what happened to this child today?If it used to be, I would pinch it together and put it in my mouth without saying a word.Could it be, where is it uncomfortable?Thinking of this possibility, his expression immediately became tense.

"Well, I'll wait for my sisters to come back and eat together."

It was easy for Su Mo to know what the man in front of him was thinking, there was no need to guess, it was written on his face.I had no choice but to find a reason to prevaricate.

However, Su Gui was greatly moved, feeling that his son had grown up and become more sensible... The more he thought about it, the more gratified he became, and even the fatigue of running around for several days was gone.

"Where are your mother, second sister and third sister?"

After knowing that after coming back for such a long time, I didn't see my daughter-in-law and the second and third girls, Su Gui asked suspiciously.

"Mother went to work in the field, the second sister went to the town to hand in the handkerchief, and the third sister went to mow the grass." Fortunately, his "father" finally didn't pay attention to the snacks, Su Mo put away the paper bag and said.The sour smell came from his nose again, he raised his face and said with concern, "Father, you have had such a hard journey, go take a shower and change clothes."

"Okay, okay, Dad will go now."

Su Gui didn't doubt that he was there, and went to fetch water for a bath with a moved face. The son didn't hurt in vain, and he would feel sorry for his father...

"call--"

Su Mo let out a big breath when the person left his sight. Thanks to his "father" being honest, he didn't even think about whether his son had changed too much.Seeing the emotion on that face, he dared to say that "Cuihua" never did this before.

The facts are similar to what Su Mo guessed. Su Gui and Xiu Niang finally had a son, and since he was weak and sick, he inevitably spoiled him a bit.For a long time, raising a child was a bit selfish, and felt that others' contribution and goodness to him were taken for granted.So, never thought about giving back.

Su Mo is different. Although he was pampered and grew up, his education was very strict since he was a child. He is definitely a "good boy" with good character.
