Chapter 380 Old Man Sun
Meixiang and the other two squatted on the roadside stalks, and finally they were about to vomit their gallbladders. Their faces turned pale and they could hardly stand steadily. Situ Yidong and the others were so scared that they never dared to let her ride in a carriage again.
Today the weather was fine, the wind was not strong, and the sun shone on my body, making me feel warm and comfortable. Finally, Mr. Dou made the decision, and the group finally abandoned the carriage and chose to walk.
Fuzhou's geographical location and climatic conditions are somewhat similar to those of modern Jiangnan. Although it cannot reach the four seasons of spring in Kunming, compared with Liuzhou Prefecture with distinct four seasons, the winter here has its own unique flavor.
The leaves of the bushes and trees on the roadside are still green. After being used to the bare winter in Liuzhou Prefecture, the sight of green here is really a pleasant surprise.
"Miss, Miss, look, these trees still have green leaves!" Xiao Shiba excitedly ran to Meixiang and shouted, pointing at the green leaves on the trees on the roadside.
"Little Eighteen, isn't it amazing?" Feng Yizheng teased him with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes. This is the first time that Xiao Shiba has seen green leaves on trees in winter. They haven't fallen off with the autumn wind."
"Every place is different. There are so many magical things. You will understand when you visit more places in the future."
"Really? Is there a place more magical than this?" Little Eighteen asked Feng Yizheng with bright eyes.
"My lord, when have I ever lied to you? When you grow up and become more capable, you will be able to go to more places and see more rare things."
"Yeah!" Xiao Shiba nodded heavily, looking at the country road in front of him that was guarded by green trees on both sides. In his eyes, it seemed like a glorious avenue leading to a magical door.
I never thought that just a few ordinary conversations on this ordinary winter day would plant the seeds of yearning in the young boy's heart.
Several years later, when Xiao Shiba became a general guarding a region, he used his cavalry to expand the territory for Haoyue and led the people of Haoyue to see more magical places.
Sunjia Village and Luojia Village are as similar as they are different.
The same muddy dirt roads, the same poor living environment.
Meixiang has the final say in Liuzhou Prefecture, while Meixiang is not the city lord of Fuzhou Prefecture. Luo Laotou is the village chief in Luojia Village, while Sun Laotou is just Sun Laotou in Sunjia Village. Luojia Village and many other villagers around it grow herbs to some extent, while only Sun Laotou and his family grow herbs in Sunjia Village.
After two hours of walking and playing, Meixiang and her group finally arrived at Sunjia Village. I don't know if people who like to study and try things have the same mentality, but Luo's family lives at the southernmost end of the village, while Sun's family lives at the easternmost end of Sunjia Village.
Walking in along the country road, you don't need to look any further as you see the grandparents and grandchildren busy in the nursery.
It was not until this moment that Meixiang finally understood why Mr. Dou and Old Man Sun hit it off so well at first sight.
Although the courtyard is simple, it consists of four adobe houses with tightly thatched roofs and the surrounding areas and beams are neatly pressed with stones, forming a sharp contrast with the messy roofs of other villagers around.
In front of the house, steam was coming out of a teapot on the stone table. A trimmed path mixed with small stones divided the yard into two parts. Each part was divided into several large and small pieces by a short fence, where different varieties of herbs were planted.
The courtyard was surrounded by a bamboo fence as high as a person, which blocked people and ensured ventilation. Part of the soil outside the bamboo fence had been turned over and dried, which was obviously to expand the size of the courtyard.
No wonder Mr. Dou had been pestering Feng Yijia, Fat Tiger and Little Fat to go to the nearby mountains these days. It turned out that they were going to get new varieties of herbs for Old Man Sun.
Seeing this, Meixiang and others seemed to have walked into Old Man Luo’s home again a few years ago.
"Hey, Brother Sun, look who I brought here today." Mr. Dou looked at the grandparents and grandchildren who were so busy in the yard that they didn't even raise their heads, so he had to greet them in a loud voice.
When Old Man Sun looked up at the sound, he saw Meixiang standing outside the fence with a smile and the three young masters with outstanding temperaments. He opened his mouth in surprise, and his eyes burst into incredible light.
"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you invite us in and have a seat?"
Fortunately, his little grandson was smart. Before old man Sun could react, he ran over with his short legs and opened the gate.
"Grandpa Dou, you're here!"
"Hey, Xiao Haier, how are you feeling these days? Are you feeling better?"
"Yeah, it doesn't hurt anymore, and I feel stronger all over." Xiao Haier answered Mr. Dou's question with a smile, and turned his bright eyes to Meixiang, "Grandpa Dou, is this beautiful sister the injured lady you mentioned?"
Old man Sun, who rushed over, was frightened by his grandson's words of not being afraid of strangers. The child didn't know the identity of this girl, but he knew something about it. At this time, he hurriedly interrupted Xiao Haier's words: "Miss, please forgive me, the child is ignorant and bumped into you."
Then she scolded her grandson, "I've spoiled you so much that you're starting to lose your dignity, right? Why don't you kneel down and kowtow to the young lady?"
Meixiang smiled and asked Xiaosan to stop Old Man Sun. "The child is still young, you will scare him. Besides, we came here uninvited today, so we are the ones who should be rude."
Then he continued with a smile: "According to what Uncle Sun said, I have been indebted to you for the herbs during this period of time, so I should give you a gift."
"Oh, oh, oh, what are you saying, miss? This is really embarrassing for an old man like me. How can I dare to even say thank you, miss? No, no." When old man Sun heard Meixiang's words, he quickly waved his hands.
"When did you two become so polite and nagging?" Mr. Dou snorted. He took a step forward and pushed away Old Man Sun who was standing at the door. Then he bent down, picked up Xiao Haier, and turned to walk into the yard.
Meixiang smiled and shook her head, then followed him in. Meiying, Xiaonuo, Chu Chen and others took out some rice, noodles and snacks that the children liked from the carriage and walked into the courtyard together.
"Oh, you're here, so why are you being so polite? Why do you bring so many things?" This might be the first time that Old Man Sun saw such a scene, and he suddenly became even more at a loss.
Mr. Dou laughed out loud, "Brother Sun, just keep it safe. It's almost noon, so you have to give us lunch today, right?"
"This, this is what we should do to provide meals, but you also know..." Old man Sun rubbed his hands, blushed and didn't continue.
The family was not wealthy, otherwise they would not have been in a hurry to take the half-grown herbs to the provincial capital to exchange for money because of their grandson's illness that day.
"Oh, don't worry, we have brought all the ingredients and utensils, we can just use your kitchen."
