C4 (1/2)

The golden autumn season was indeed fascinating, especially in the autumn of Shancheng.

Niu Yang City was no exception.

The wind was always refreshing; the sun was always warm; the people were happy in their hearts — the harvest this year was better than any previous year.

The autumn afternoon was good for refreshment.

At this moment, Mr. Chu was sitting under the willow tree in front of his house with his eyes closed.

The house was a wooden house. The house wasn't big, but it had two floors. In the tower.

Mr Chu was very grateful to the villagers around him, just like how the people were grateful to Mr Chu. Six years ago, father and son lived in the academy, but the academy was indeed too big. One old and one young, the two of them lived in a spacious and lonely place, so Mr Chu built a small hut here as his residence.

Who would have thought that the next morning, there would be fifty to sixty years of strong young men leaning against the wooden wall, ”Bang! Bang!” When Mr. Chu returned home in the evening, he could not find the cottage. He thought that he had made a mistake, but he did not expect that a large group of people would suddenly jump out from all around the house. The old man and the young woman would either hold a bowl or carry a bowl or carry some wheat in their hands, and when the old man understood what was going on, they were all moved to tears. From then on, the children of commoners were exempted from tuition fees. Mr Chu was also doing his best to nurture the children of the common people in return to his kind family.

At the start of the day, Mr Chu could no longer be bothered to relax. During the farm season, the children all came home on vacation to help their parents reap the wheat.

In front of Mister Chu was a vast expanse of wheat fields.

A light breeze blew past, causing waves of wheat to rise into the air. Golden wheat, golden sunlight.

The wheat fields far and near were swarming with people. The sound of a sickle cutting wheat, the sound of a young man beating wheat, the sound of a woman giggling as she laboured, the sound of a man carrying wheat home, the sound of a chicken barking near the house … It was like a movement in music. Mr. Chu was full and comfortable. In the living room, the little guy, Chu Xiangnan, was sprawled on a table. She had caught two grasshoppers somewhere, and was playing with them in the box. From time to time, she would grab some grasshoppers that jumped out of the box. Next to the table was a pile of notes that Grandpa had written down for ten times.

”Yohoho …” Yohoho … ”Ai, uncle, you're resting …”

At home, Er Hu Zi carried the wheat all the way home, passing Mr. Chu in front of the door. When Erhu Zi was building the house for the old man, he broke his right leg. It was unknown what kind of medicine Elder Chu used to reconnect it, but it was still the same as ever.

”Mm …” ”Hmm?” Ohoho, good harvest, tigers … Come and rest... ”Rest …”

”How about tonight? Haha, I'll come listen to your lecture tonight. I have to hurry and finish collecting the wheat …” ”Yohoho …” In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the corner.

”Aiyo …” ”Elder Chu, you are always napping …”

”Hey, hey, hey, it's Second Aunt Niu. Oh, why are you carrying such a big bag of wheat? It's a good harvest …” Come and rest... ”Take a rest …”

The boss's second aunt was currently carrying a large bag of wheat as she passed by. He was holding his four-year-old son, ”Little Da”, in his hand.

”I'm not resting, I need to hurry back to cook …” ”Hey, grandpa, you should come over for dinner later …”

”Yohoho …” Good... Good... Auntie, please leave quickly … This child is so obedient … ”Haha …”

”Grandpa …” Even though he was being pulled by his mother, he was still unable to keep up, so he turned his head around and shouted. He put his little finger in his mouth.

”Ai …” Yohoho … ”My mouth is so sweet …”

”Grandfather …” I want... I want to drink... ”Drink water …” The little guy was indeed thirsty.

”Yo yo, good, good. Come drink …” ”Come drink …”

”Go home and drink. Be obedient. We'll be there soon …” Second Aunt had taught the little guy a lesson.

Who would have thought that with a tug of the little guy's hand, he would escape from his mother's hand and then squat down on the ground, really unable to get up.

”I want to drink... I want to drink... ”Hmm …”

”Ai, aunty, just let me drink …” It's just a drink of water... ”Hehe …”

”Sigh, Nannan ah, ladle some water for the baby …” ”Kid, grandpa told big brother Nan to give you water to drink …”

”Sigh …” When Chu Xiangnan heard his grandpa's shout, she quickly got up and stood at the door.

The baby got out of the horse, looked at his mother, and ran to the door with a laugh.

”That stubborn bastard, when he grows up, he's like his father …” Second Aunt Niu had no other choice but to slowly place the basket against the ground. Then, she followed him to the wooden house.

”Little brother, come drink some water …” Chu Xiangnan was already standing at the door with half a ladle of water in his hand.

The little guy ran up, out of breath. Grabbing the ladle, he gulped it down.

”Hey, slow down... Don't choke... ”It's all yours …” Chu Xiangnan was afraid of choking her little brother, so she held the handle tightly and slowly gave it to him to drink.

In the end, the little guy should have had enough to drink. But she snatched up the ladle and turned and held it up to her mother.

”Mother, drink …”

The little guy was really sensible and considerate.

”Ai …” If mother doesn't drink, mother isn't thirsty … ”Let's go back, ah …”

You're thirsty. Drink …” Drink it... Before You... You just have to find Sanniang... Ask for Water... ”Haargh!” The little guy had a fierce expression, but he was extremely quick-witted.

”Good, good …” ”Mother, drink! Mother, drink …” Second Aunt couldn't force the little guy, so she took the water and drank it.

”It tastes great, Mother …” ”It tastes great …” The little guy happily watched his mother finish the water, then he took the ladle and handed it to Chu Xiangnan.

”Thank you brother …” ”Thank you grandpa …” The little guy was also very polite.

”Let's go home. Father will be waiting for dinner …”

”Time to go home …” ”Time to go home …” The little guy finally grabbed his mother's hand in satisfaction and hopped after her. Not long after, he disappeared into the road.

”Nan Nan, grandpa is going out to order some food, don't run around at home …” Mr. Chu sent the two of them away, stretched his back and yawned. He looked at the sun and realized that it was time to prepare dinner.

”Nan Nan? ”Did you hear that …” Mister Chu didn't hear Chu Xiangnan's response, so he turned around and called out again. She saw Chu Xiangnan leaning on the door with a ladle in hand.

”Nan Nan? Are you all right? ”Ah?” Mr Chu found the little guy a little strange. Prepared to walk over.

”Ah?” Oh... Um … ”Got it …” Chu Xiangnan immediately responded to her grandfather as if she had just awoken from a dream.

Mr Chu lowered his head and frowned, ”What's wrong with him today?”
