In the evening, there was still water on the street after the rain. As the sun set, only a subtle light shone on the shallow puddles on the ground and the walls on both sides of the road.

But it is also the sunlight under the setting sun that makes the originally simple streets look golden and red, which is very beautiful.

There are gradually more and more people in the alleys in the east city. There are women opening the doors of their houses and preparing to do business, and there are also pedestrians walking from a distance.

At this time, a man who had just returned from working for the government walked to the door of the pastry shop. He looked a little tired, and his hand tapping the door seemed extremely heavy.

"Dong, dong, dong..." The knock on the door came from the other end of the shop. The young man who was still helping his mother prepare dinner heard such a slow knock on the door. He first looked towards the yard excitedly.

Busy mother.

Mother Lin also heard the sound and looked down at her son. She smiled and nodded at the young man who was still holding the bowl and chopsticks in his hands. The young man understood the reason for his mother's smile.

He handed the bowl and chopsticks to Ye Dang, who was beside him, and ran to the other end of the shop to open the door. "Creak-" was accompanied by the sound of the door opening.

The young man saw the middle-aged man whose body was illuminated by the sunset. His back was slightly hunched due to years of hard work, and his entire face had been washed away by the years, making him look extremely old-fashioned.

"Son?..." When the middle-aged man saw the person who opened the door for him, he looked surprised at first, and then a look of disbelief showed on his old face, and his lips trembled slightly as he spoke.

said.

"Dad! It's Man Liu, Man Liu has gone home!" The young man shouted loudly to the man outside the door.

The middle-aged man is Lin Manliu's father. Due to the rain these days, he has been moving goods in the public house. After the rain stopped today, he was told by the public steward that he could go home to rest temporarily.

"Our Manliu family is finally back. Let's show dad how good he is. He has endured a lot of hardships along the way..." Father Lin rubbed his son's head, and then he was quickly welcomed into the hospital by Lin Manliu.

Met Ye Dangting and Shi Yi.

"The journey was uneventful, and I came back with this old liar on the way back. Nothing strange happened to me, so dad can rest assured!" Lin Manliu said with a smile.

Father Lin was just about to ask why he didn't come back with his brothers, but Ye Dangting stood up and bowed to him. This made the farm man who had been busy for half his life not know what to say, so he could only learn it in a hurry.

Ye Dang bowed as he heard this, but even so, he looked a little funny.

"I have met Uncle Lin. I am the Ye Dangting who I mentioned to you before November. I also came back with Manliu this time. The two of them took care of me along the way..." Ye Dangting said.

.

"I know, I know, Miss Eleven has heard from me and Manliu's mother before that my family has caused trouble for Ye Shaoxia on the way to Manliu... Thank you so much Ye Shaoxia for seeing me off all the way," Father Lin hurriedly replied.

"We helped each other along the way. This kid Manliu is very obedient and very clever." Ye Dangting waved his hands and said, but in his heart he was thinking that if you hadn't been able to file a complaint with Eleven, you wouldn't be here today.

Cry properly in front of your parents, how difficult it is for you to teach.

"Why are you standing here? Why don't you come over and help me?" Mother Lin picked up a spoon in the courtyard and shouted to Father Lin at the door of the courtyard.

"Come, come, mother-in-law, didn't you see that I was asking Ye Shaoxia about our son? All I can think about is your pastries and needlework. Your man is so worldly." Although Father Lin was yelling, he was scolding.

, but the man had already walked into the courtyard to help Mother Lin.

"Yes, yes, you understand those big principles, and you are still moving things for people to farm. How far has your son gone?"

"That doesn't mean that our Lin family is promising. Look at my son. Among those pampered people in Xicheng, which one can compare to my son?"

"Can you be something of yourself? What if our son falls in love with that girl in the future and people look down on us?"

"That makes sense...How about I move a few more times when I go to work for the government tomorrow?"

"...Look at your potential!" Following Mother Lin's complaint, the spatula fell directly onto the table in the courtyard.

"I said, Mom and Dad, I haven't seen you two quarreling before. Why am I going out for three months? How come you two have such bad tempers?" Lin Manliu saw his parents quarreling in the courtyard and was about to step forward to persuade them.

"Children, please don't interfere in adult matters." It turned out that it was indeed his parents who said in unison. Ye Dangting and Shiyi, who found a bench under the eaves to sit together, smiled unconsciously when they saw this scene.

In this way, while Lin Manliu's parents were complaining to each other, the tables in the courtyard were gradually filled with food. Many of them were dishes that the teenagers could only eat during the Chinese New Year. Normally, he and his mother would be at home, maybe even

Rice is rarely found, taro and some pickles are all that the meal has.

After returning home this time, everything really got better. My mother didn't have to worry about how much firewood she had left, so she could take a bath just like she did during the Chinese New Year, and she didn't have the previous constraints and embarrassment when eating.

It would be great to have a life like today.

The sky is dark and the moon is near

The table in the courtyard was still a little small, and in the end only Lin Manliu and Ye Dang could listen. The two crowded together, the young man sat on a chair, and the old liar squatted aside. The other three sides of the table were naturally Lin Manliu.

My parents and I are eleven.

"It seems that we will have to build a bigger table in the future, but now we can't even sit on it hahahahahahahahahahahaha" Father Lin picked up some pickles and put them into his mouth and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, dad, I will go to the market with the old liar tomorrow. It's almost the beginning of summer this time, so it should be open for many days." Lin Manliu still had some unfinished food in his mouth, so he started to mumble.

.

"On the sixth day of the month, please eat slowly. No one will compete with you. This time, you were too busy before your departure and didn't even have time to celebrate your birthday. I'll make up for it today..." Mother Lin said with a smile.

.

"Aunt Lin also told me about it afterwards. I should have let you take a rest at that time so that I could find time to celebrate your birthday." Eleven sat opposite Mother Lin, her face a little embarrassed, but after saying that, she looked at her from a distance

I picked up some vegetables and put them into someone's bowl next to me. After all, that person couldn't pick up some of the dishes while he was squatting.

"It's okay...it's okay!" Lin Manliu said while trying to swallow the food in his mouth as quickly as possible, almost choking.

"I told you to eat slowly, but you kid is really, really bad for a fifteen-year-old...how could you be so careless?" Mother Lin hurriedly put down the bowl and chopsticks and patted her son on the back.

The young man drank a large bowl of water before he regained his breath. Suddenly he remembered something and said to his mother: "When I was outside, someone celebrated my birthday, and they celebrated two birthdays at once! That's it.

We’ve already passed next year together... now it’s sixteen!”.

Hearing this, Lin Manliu's father and mother were stunned and looked at each other.

"Who celebrated my Xiao Manliu's birthday? Did he meet that girl's family outside?" Eleven suddenly looked at Lin Manliu with a wicked smile.

When his master asked him this question again, the young man did not rush to answer. Instead, he looked up at the sky. This time, his field of vision was not restricted by the eaves of the courtyard. He seemed to see the vast world outside, far away.

Somewhere in the east, there is a beautiful figure dressed in blue and wearing a bamboo hat.

"Hmm..." The young man responded after a while.

What came out was a scream from Ye Dang next to him, followed by the master's question: "Why don't you learn something bad? Why did you just follow him to learn this? I think you just haven't practiced your sword well. Starting tomorrow

Practice hard in the yard for me!".

Ye Dangting, who was originally squatting aside, was pulling the food in his bowl. Suddenly, he was kicked from the side by Eleven. He fell to the ground before he could squat down. Fortunately, he didn't knock over the bowl.

Seeing this scene, Lin Manliu's parents couldn't help but be a little surprised. How come the Eleven girl who usually helps at home has become more lively after meeting this Ye Shaoxia, but she is indeed a little too lively? But it's okay,

After all, he is his child's master.

After the young man finished laughing at the old liar beside him, he helped him stand up, but his thoughts began to drift into the distance again.
