Chapter 3970 Brother Master
"Home-grown pears."
"give me one."
"Hey." Ya'er immediately took two from the basket and handed one to each of Zhang Lichen and the toddler.
The toddler took a bite and it was crisp and sweet.
"It's really good." The child praised.
"My parents planted these on the mountain over there. My dad knows how to grow fruits, including cherries, pears, watermelons, peaches... we eat them from the beginning of spring to the beginning of winter."
The smile on Ya'er's face dimmed as she spoke, and her head drooped, "I will never be able to eat the fruits my parents planted again."
The child hurriedly said: "How could it be possible? Aren't the fruit trees still there? Let's plant Ya'er well, just like when our parents were here."
"Yeah!" The smile returned to Ya'er's face, "Ya'er also has grandpa, and grandpa can also plant fruit trees."
Outside the fence, Ya'er's grandfather was squatting on the ground, smoking a pipe and looking into the distance with a peaceful expression.
After a long while, he sighed: "I have to go on living this life."
The child felt inexplicably sad and wanted to cry.
She lowered her head and took a few bites of the pear, then tugged Ya'er's thin pigtails: "Why were you laughing just now?"
"I laughed at my brother who disliked my sister for being dirty, but he still carried her all the way back."
"Haha." The child laughed, "Is my brother duplicity?"
"Um!"
"Don't be too big or too small." Zhang Lichen slowly bit the pear and said softly.
The child smiled and said: "Ya'er, you can't call him brother, he is my sister's master."
"But my brother is nothing like Master."
"That's because my brother is young."
"Oh, brother master."
"Ah haha." The child was overjoyed and stretched out his hand to pinch Ya'er's round cheeks.
It was getting dark.
Old man Wu came in and said: "It's getting late and the mountain road is difficult to travel. If the immortal masters don't mind, let's rest here for the night and leave tomorrow."
The child smiled and said, "Thank you, old man."
Old man Wu smiled and said: "You are the great benefactor of our village, this little thing is nothing. Ya'er, come here and help grandpa."
Ya'er snorted and ran over.
The child said: "This child is so tenacious that he was not affected at all. Master, I'm going to see Senior Brother Li. Why hasn't he woke up yet?"
"Li Baoshan was eroded by the miasma and suffered internal and external injuries. Let him have a good sleep without disturbing him."
"Oh, okay."
So the master and the apprentice continued to squat in the yard, watching the old hen circle a nest of chicks under its wings, making a cooing sound.
Not long after, Ya'er ran over and said, "Sister, sister, I have prepared a large bucket of hot water. You can wash it off."
"Ya'er is so capable." The child stroked her head, "My sister is as old as you, but she still doesn't know how to do anything."
"Sister must be a young lady from a noble family. Ya'er cannot compare with her. Children in our village start helping the family when they are five or six years old." Ya'er said shyly.
The child sighed: "Your words make it seem like my sister is a waste."
"Sister, come on, I even went to pick some petals."
Ya'er took the child to see the bathtub.
Sure enough, there was a layer of flower petals sprinkled in the tub.
Although they are just some unknown petals, in the eyes of the child, they are more precious than any rose petal bath she has ever taken.
The toddler took off his tattered and dirty skirt and soaked in the warm water that smelled of wild flowers.
Ya'er even brought a piece of soap.
When the children see her, they know that Ya'er must have lived a happy and prosperous life before losing her parents.
