Feed You Sweets - Chapter 17

Luo Tao didn’t come easily. Since staying for one night, she didn’t have to go back too early the next day. It was not until after a nap at noon that the sun was no longer so venomous in the afternoon, and Wei Ruxia sent Luo Tao to the station.

At three o’clock in the afternoon, the setting sun was shining brightly, and the alleys were full of cool wind. Wei Ruxia stepped on the bluestone slab and chatted with Luo Tang one after another.

“Do you go out to play when you go back? When do you usually have time?”

Luo Tao followed behind her and asked, “If you don’t go out, what’s the matter?”

“I’m afraid there are questions that I can’t do, and I want to ask you if you don’t have time.” Wei Ruxia jumped a little breathlessly, and she turned her head, her face flushed.

Luo Tang looked at her intently and replied in a shallow voice: “If you have time, send me a video directly when that time comes.”

It is not the first time that Wei Ruxia asked Luo Tang to talk to her. Even when they were at home, they would contact directly by video if they didn’t want to go out. Video can feed back questions and answers to the other party more quickly than pictures and voices.

Luo Tao’s answer made Wei Ruxia smile. She turned her head and continued to step on the bluestone slab, and asked casually: “Is it all right?”

She asked this sentence because she was afraid that Luo Tang would have any arrangements for her vacation. Luo Tang is actually a very self-disciplined person. She has plans for morning run, reading, and homework.

“The time for the bath is not good.” Luo Tao replied.

Wei Ruxia slipped and almost lost her balance. The young man from behind reached out and grabbed her arm to stabilize her.

At that moment, Luo Tang was very supportive, and the strength of his fingers still seemed to remain on his arm. Wei Ruxia touched the place where he was caught, and said with a smile: “I don’t know when you take a bath. .”

After sending off Luo Tang, Wei Ruxia returned to her grandma’s house. At home, Li Suhe had already gotten up, watching her come back, and asked: “Luo Yuan got in the car?”

“Yeah.” Wei Ruxia replied, looking at Li Su and the bucket and small iron **** beside him, as well as a small bamboo basket made of bamboo sticks. Li Suhe likes to make crafts very much, and she made up this small bamboo basket herself.

Before going to Wei Zishan’s house, Wei Ruxia lived with her grandma for two months, knowing that she was going to the vegetable garden.

It’s four o’clock now, the sun is not poisonous at all, and there are occasional cool winds, the weather is just right.

“It’s better to lie down for a while.” Wei Ruxia was still a little worried, “the vegetable garden is fine tomorrow.”

Li Su and her body are no longer sick. She waved her hand and said: “It hasn’t rained in the past few days, the vegetable garden hasn’t been watered, the grass hasn’t been hoeed. I have been idle for a few days at home, and it’s good to move my muscles and bones.”

Seeing that her face was not so ugly, Wei Ruxia didn’t insist anymore. She bent down to hold the small bamboo basket, put the small iron **** into the bamboo basket, and went to the vegetable garden with Li Suhe with the bucket.

Li Suhe’s vegetable garden was next to the small stream where she and Luo Tao were strolling yesterday. There is an open space beside the forest on both sides. It was reclaimed by the people of the town as a vegetable garden. Almost every house is divided into a small piece from above. It looked like a green square cut out.

When living in grandma’s house, Wei Ruxia often came here to play with her in the vegetable garden. Vegetables of various colors were planted in the vegetable garden, and two rows of shelves were erected, one with cucumber vines and the other with kidney bean vines.

Li Suhe treats everything very meticulously. The vegetable garden is well organized. When he saw the weeds in front of the potato sprouts, he squatted down and cleaned it up.

“I’m going to fetch water.” Wei Ruxia carried a bucket and went to the stream.

The stream was not far from the vegetable garden. After Wei Ruxia fetched water, she took a bucket and went back. As soon as I went back, I heard my grandma singing. Wei Ruxia smiled and poured the water into the vegetable field. The sound of Lingling water seemed to be tapping grandma.

Li Suhe noticed and looked back at her with a smile. Wei Ruxia carried the bucket and sang with her.

“Want to sing me to you, while I am young and like a flower.

The flowers bloom quietly, decorate your years and my branches.

Who can replace you, love it while you are young.

Dearest person, let’s be together far away.

I will sing me to you and give me your innocent smile…”

In the early autumn afternoon, the sky was setting and the sun was setting, beside the verdant long forest, beside the green small vegetable garden, the sweet voice of the young girl mixed with the old intellectual voice of the old man, which was very pleasant.

After singing a song, the two looked at each other and laughed. Li Suhe raised his eyes and looked at Wei Ruxia against the setting sun. The wrinkles on the old man’s face were shadowed, making her look more kind.

“This song is very old, did your mother teach you it?”

“Yeah.” Wei Ruxia took the bucket and poured water, and the cool water splashed on her legs. She said: “But my mother likes Hackberry best.”

I remember the one song she heard the most when she was a child was “Birch Forest” played by her mother. She doesn’t understand the love and sorrow inside, she just feels quiet and nice.

The small iron **** in her hand hoeed the weeds out of the ground. Li Su kept moving, she seemed to be careless, but also intentionally, and asked.

“Do you miss mom?”

Wei Ruxia had a pail with her bucket upside down.

She raised her head and glanced at Li Suhe, then smiled at him at last, and said, “I still think about it. But it’s okay, I have grandma with me.”

There was a layer of pain and itching in the throat, Li Suhe wanted to cough, but held back. She watched Wei Ruxia watering the vegetable garden carefully, her slender limbs and her tender face. She lowered her head to weed and sighed softly.

“I want to grow up with you.”

There is a big age difference between the elders and the younger generations, especially between the granddaughter and the grandmother. This kind of age difference usually exists between every pair of grandparents.

Wei Ruxia watched the water in the bucket pouring continuously into the yellow ground. Her heart filled with freshness seemed to be taken away by God again.

There is congestion everywhere when going out on the National Day, and Luo Tao’s family rarely goes out on holidays. After Yang Shuru finished translating today’s work, she went to the dining room and brought the pineapples that had been cut by the hourly worker before leaving and went to the living room.

The decoration style of their home is rather simple, like the decoration of the Republic of China. This villa was where Luo Tang’s grandfather and grandmother lived. His grandparents were all translators. Later, on a business trip abroad, both died in an airplane accident. In order to appease Yang Shuru, Luo Tang’s father, Luo Qinggu, left the Luo family mansion and moved here with his family when he was very young. Even the decoration of the house has not changed.

Luo Tang was sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching a replay of the NBA game with his mobile phone.

“The screen is so small, wouldn’t it be uncomfortable to look at it?” Yang Shuru put down the pineapple, took a piece and handed it to Luo Tao and asked.

Luo Tang did not answer, and looked at the game lightly and said, “It’s okay.”

Putting the pineapple handed to Luo Tao into her mouth, the sweet pineapple smell awakened the taste buds. Yang Shuru sat next to her son and said, “You never let go of your phone when you came back. Why, who are you waiting for?”

Luo Tang is not a kid who likes to play with mobile phones. When he was on vacation, he usually read comic books.

Luo Tang did not answer this question. And Yang Shuru suddenly thought of something. She stretched out her finger, poked her son’s shoulder a little, and asked, “Should you not fall in love?”

The look of the son beside him did not change much, he raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes calm.

Yang Shuru was taken aback by him, and then took another piece of pineapple and said: “I was joking, but it doesn’t matter if I talk about it, my mother is not that kind of staid person…”

The vibration of the mobile phone shook the heart in his chest cavity. Luo Yuan stood up, so fast that Yang Shuru did not see the blush in his ears.

“I’m back to my room.” Luo Tang finished speaking and got up and went upstairs.

He kept walking upstairs as much as possible. After entering the door, Luo Tao quickly walked to the desk and took out the textbook. Finally, I clicked accept on the screen.

The signal in the countryside was not very good. The screen took a while, and the girl’s cheeks showed up when she got close to the camera. She leaned a little closer, but her face was still pretty.

A pile of test papers and textbooks were piled up in front of Wei Ruxia, messy like her untied broken hair. As soon as Luo Tang connected, Wei Ruxia laughed, her eyes crooked, clean and beautiful.

“How did you pick it up?” Wei Ruxia asked. After the question, looking at the young man behind the screen, his brows were lightly frowned, and he said: “Have a bath?”

Although Luo Tang was wearing clothes, her white cheeks and ears were slightly pink, as if she had just taken a shower.

It could be seen that what Wei Ruxia said was a joke. Luo Tang looked at her with eyes as if she could stare through the screen, and could even smell the faint rose fragrance on her body.

“Yeah.” Luo Yuan replied lightly, looked at the math textbook in front of her, opened her test paper, and asked, “Which question?”

The mobile phone was placed on the bookshelf, and the young man in the screen pressed a brand new test paper with his slender white fingers. He hadn’t done it yet, but he was ready to tell her.

Wei Ruxia looked around, remembering what grandma said today. She rubbed her eyes, looked at Luo Yuan and thought.

He is her friend, so they will grow up with each other, right?
