The eldest uncle is now in his forties, which is considered an old man in this era. The eldest cousin is sixteen years old, which is not actually the strongest period, but he is already considered an adult at this time. Looking at the slight beard on his lips, he looks green.
The austere young look makes people unable to bear to look at him more.
The two of them ate in a hurry. Before they finished eating, they heard someone shouting: "Brother Youxiang! Brother Youxiang!"
Tang Youxiang responded.
The voice sounded familiar to Mi Baoer, so she ran out and saw a dark-skinned young man standing at the door. He smiled with big white teeth and called her: "Little fat girl?"
Mi Bao's eyes lit up and he greeted sweetly: "Uncle Grasshopper."
The dark-skinned young man couldn't help but laugh. He bent down to pick her up and spun her around several times: "Little fat girl, let's beat you. I haven't seen you yet! Do you still know me?"
Mi Bao nodded: "I know you."
He said: "Call Uncle Sheng again and listen."
Mi Bao said: "Uncle, Uncle Grasshopper."
"Hey! Hey!" He responded cheerfully, "Our Mibao'er is so good-looking! His little voice is so nice!"
His name is Tang Xiaoman, and because he is thin and has long arms and legs, he is nicknamed Grasshopper.
He is daddy’s little fanboy. He listens to daddy’s words very much. He is also very funny and loves to laugh. Sometimes daddy comes to see her and he takes the trouble to teach her how to speak. He doesn’t bother to teach her a sentence dozens of times. She is very fond of his words.
The black skin and big white teeth are really impressive.
It wasn't until Tang Youxiang came out that he put her down and went over to help get the hunting bag.
Tang Youxiang saw that the person wasn't paying attention, so he stuffed half an egg into his mouth. Tang Xiaoman was even startled. He looked at him, but didn't say anything, so he just swallowed it. He looked at Mi Bao again, maybe because he thought
He was a little embarrassed after snatching the child's food rations: "Mi Bao'er, uncle will hunt rabbits for you!"
Mi Bao nodded: "Okay!!"
Tang Youxiang took out an old bow and said, "My uncle gave me a new bow a while ago. This one is for you. You should be comfortable with it."
"Really?" Tang Xiaoman was delighted: "This is so easy to use! I've been craving it for a long time!"
While talking, he took it and pulled it twice. Tang Youxiang also took the hunting bag, dry food and other things, and went out with Tang Mingsong.
As they walked, they heard gongs being beaten at the entrance of the village. The three of them quickened their pace and trotted forward. The whole family followed them out to see them off.
Many people came out of each house in groups and walked to a big tree where two people hugged each other.
The clan leader stood by the tree fence. When he saw Tang Youxiang coming, he waved to him, and Tang Youxiang and the other three hurried over.
It didn't take long for the people to gather, totaling only about thirty people. The patriarch said: "I won't say more. The elderly, wives and children at home are all waiting for you. Everyone, please be careful. Even if you hunt,
It doesn’t matter, it’s okay to be alive, don’t get hurt!”
Then he took this group of people together and kowtowed to the big tree, and then went away huffing and puffing.
Mibao also knelt down and kowtowed with his mother, and then everyone got up. Mibao stretched his neck and saw his father's back going up the mountain. He turned back from a distance and waved to her, telling her to go back quickly.
Lady Fan sighed.
Mi Bao quickly interrupted and asked her in a sweet voice: "Mother, why do you kneel under the tree?"
"It's not about kneeling on a tree," the village doctor happened to be walking aside, so he took over and said with a smile, "It's about kneeling on the ancestors."
He reached out and hugged her, and explained to her with a smile: "Our village escaped from Dadong decades ago. We fled here. We looked at this old tree and felt it was close to us, so we stayed here."
They slowly built houses around the trees and built a village... So three or four generations up in our village, they are all real relatives, much closer than the relatives in other places..."
Mi Bao liked to listen to the old people talking about ancient times very much, and he couldn't take his eyes off them.
Seeing that she liked what she heard, the village doctor continued: "So at first, I originally wanted to call it Ginkgo Village, but our village is really a geomantic treasure land, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the mountain pass is as small as half a gourd, so it is very safe.
, the winter was not too cold, and the crops grew well, so later, an ancestor who had studied in school named it Taoyuan Village, which means a paradise. Does Mi Baoer know what a paradise is?"
He explained it to her again.
Mrs. Fan laughed when she heard this: "Mi Bao'er, this learned ancestor is your great-uncle's great-grandfather."
The village doctor smiled and nodded. Mi Bao blinked his big eyes and said sweetly: "No wonder my uncle is also smart and knowledgeable."
The village doctor laughed out loud: "This kid, Mi Bao, is so smart, sweet-talking, and so lovable that I want to take him home."
"That's great!" Mrs. Fan also joked: "Uncle Dong, please go home quickly, and I can learn from you."
Many of the names of Taoyuan Village are based on solar terms. For example, the patriarch is named Tang Guyu, and the village doctor is named Tang Lidong. They are from the same generation as Tang Laoshi and are about the same age.
As they talked, everyone dispersed and went back to their homes. After eating a few mouthfuls of rice, they called each other and made an appointment to go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables.
In a blink of an eye, the house was empty, and only the second brother was left at home watching Mi Bao.
It was not time to get up yet, and Mibao was worried about his father and had no appetite. He ate a small bowl of porridge and half an egg, then fell asleep again. When he woke up, he saw his second brother practicing writing on the stone slab.
Mi Bao turned over in a daze on the bed, looking at his second brother with half-open eyes.
Maybe it's because my mother's genes are too strong. Anyway, the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother are all as tall as my mother, and they are all handsome. It's just that the eldest brother's eyebrows look a bit like his father, and he has a bit of heroism, while the second brother is more handsome.
She really has beautiful facial features. Even though she is dressed in commoner clothes and is pitifully thin, she still looks particularly elegant and beautiful when she writes with her wrist hanging.
He is indeed her brother, he is good-looking.
Mibao looked at it happily for a long time, his face hurt, and he turned over.
But when she turned over, she couldn't see her second brother. She turned around again and yawned.
In tears, she saw her elegant second brother put down his pen and came over, took her directly under his arm and went out.
Mi Bao: “…??”
You are so good-looking, why do you act so rudely?
When she saw that her brother was actually trying to pee on her, Mibao suddenly woke up and danced wildly on all fours: "Mibao, do it by yourself! Do it by yourself!!"
The second brother was amused by her: "You are so old, you are still ashamed."
He took her back again, knelt down and put on her shoes. Mibao ran out to put out the water, then walked back calmly and started eating breakfast for the second time.
After eating, she blinked and secretly took out a piece of candy from the bag.
Since the village doctor gave her candy, it proved that it was here, so of course she could take out the candy and eat it. She squeezed to the second brother and tugged at his clothes: "Second brother."
"Huh?" Tang Minglin looked down at her, finished writing the word on his hand, and then squatted down: "What's wrong?"
Mibao stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth, startling him, and then he smacked his tongue, his expression a little dazed, and it took him a long time to ask: "Where did it come from?"
