When the first trace of fish-belly white appeared in the east, at dawn, the young lady of Butterfly Valley, Jiaer, took Wanwan, Diefei'er, and Prajna three little girls, and set out from Butterfly Valley early in the morning to go to Butterfly Harbor not far away.

Master Shaogu’s father is planning to live there for a while.

After a day of hard work, they finally arrived at the place where the young grain master worked. This is a land of plenty and the folk customs are very simple.

The youngest daughter Diefei'er fell in love with this place as soon as she arrived.

Old Captain Ouyang, a good friend of Master Shaogu, saw the whole family coming. He and his wife were particularly hospitable and quickly arranged their accommodation... They arranged a table of special dishes here and entertained their family warmly.

In the afternoon of the second day, Xiaodie Fei'er walked around and took a look. She came to a big lake and faced a gust of breeze. It felt very comfortable. There were ripples on the lake, and it was crystal clear.

There are small fishes in the lake, some playing leisurely and contentedly; some seem to be looking at the beautiful scenery outside with their big curious eyes; some seem to be listening to the beautiful and melodious songs of the rowers, and they are all excited.

Be intoxicated.

It's the end of summer. In the afternoon, the scorching sun is still high in the sky. The sun is like fire. The cicadas are shouting on the tree: "It's so hot! It's so hot!"

Nine-year-old Die Fei'er walked to the sea and looked at the flowers, plants and small animals, rabbits, dogs, chickens, ducks and geese...

She didn't mention how happy she was, she touched the flowers, she chased the geese... she giggled to herself, sang and danced...

She came to a very large drying place. The smell of fish smelled very comfortable, and she looked around. It was a drying place for dried squid and small pointed fish.

I heard from my father that the dried squid in Butterfly Harbor is the most famous, and there is a "squid picking" season every year. The fishermen will catch the best squid, commonly known as "lock rolls", also called calamari, and split them into pieces.

They were hung up in a bunch and dried in the sun to make fragrant dried squid. Diefei'er looked at them and found them very interesting.

Every time my father comes back to Butterfly Valley, he will bring some dried squid to the folks in Butterfly Valley. He is very popular.

I remember that in Butterfly Valley, Jiaer’s mother would stew dried squid soup with white radish every time. It was delicious and meaty, which added nutrition to them.

Die Fei'er likes to watch her mother cook the most. Jia Er's mother is very serious when making soup. She cuts the dried squid into strips along the texture, puts the prepared shredded white radish into the water, cooks it over a slow fire, and waits

When the water boils and a fragrance comes out of the pot...

Every time, Jia'er's mother would tenderly say a long paragraph of praise for dried squid: "This soup is not only delicious and fragrant, but also has the effect of sobering up and refreshing. Your father occasionally likes to drink, and this soup is good for him. Besides, squid is

Neutral food, neither hot nor cool, and other foods such as red rut, pork stew, can be eaten by the elderly, infants and women in the "monthly period", and it is more beneficial to beauty...

…”

The kind grandmother Lin Xiaomu loved to eat vegetarian food all her life, but she would watch from the sidelines. She would also say with a smile: "Dried squid is also a good seasoning for stews. The children are growing, so they can eat more...

"

Grandma and mother are both housewives who know about food ingredients and health care. The three girls, Die Feier, have heard about it since they were young and have learned a lot of knowledge and common sense.

Xiaodie Feier was looking at the dried squids in the field and thinking about it, when the melodious sound of a piping nearby interrupted her thoughts...

Sometimes the sound of the pipa is as clear and crisp as the tinkling of a stream, sometimes as thick as the muffled thunder through the window, when it is urgent, it is like rain hitting banana trees, when it is soothing, it is like continuous drizzle, when it is fierce, it is like a golden horse and an iron horse, and when it is tactful, it is like the singing of orioles and the dancing of swallows.

The little one was so fascinated by what she heard that she opened her mouth and was stunned...

The little guy walked slowly towards the sound of the piping, and she saw a man in his fifties. After taking a closer look, she realized it was the captain's uncle.

He sat on the stool and concentrated on playing. He sat very straight, with his shoulders steady and his feet forward. The distance between his knees was about half to one foot. The pear wood pipa was placed upright between his thighs.

.

With the pipa panel facing outward, Diefei'er looked at his face. His expression was very natural. His playing movements were graceful and graceful, and he looked very energetic and energetic.

Suddenly he heard his father's voice, followed by a burst of applause, and he muttered appreciatively:

"Brother Ouyang plays so well. It's just like what the book says: the big strings are noisy like the rain, and the small strings are like whispers. The strings are noisy and mixed, and the big and small beads are falling on the jade plate... so elegant!"

Diefei'er reacted to the sound of the lute and realized that her father was back.

Die Fei'er turned around, very happy, and jumped into his arms, shouting: "Good daddy!"

She started acting coquettishly. Nan Qingwen picked up the baby girl with one hand and spun her around. He purposely pricked the little girl's cheek with his beard. The little girl avoided it and kept giggling. The father and daughter burst into laughter and heard the butterfly flying.

My son said, "Daddy, your skin is like orange peel."

Uncle Ouyang, who was standing nearby, stopped playing the pipa, stood up, and looked at the father and daughter with a smile.

Nan Qingwen smiled at him and said: "The three girls from Jia Er and I are all well-behaved and sensible. Especially Die Fei'er is a little bit smart, but also a little bit more naughty, quirky, and better than the boys."

The child is still naughty, but she looks a bit like me. The little girl is very heroic, and a bit like her mother, with a kind heart. I love her very much and dote on her..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiaer came over with Wanwan and Prajna. A group of people were chattering and very lively. They were preparing to have a meal at Uncle Ouyang's house. Uncle Ouyang and his aunt were busy in the kitchen.

Jia Er couldn't sit still, so she entered the kitchen and helped them. The three girls and Nan Qingwen were having a great time. He was like a big kid among the children, easy-going and happy! The children really liked him.

Already.

In Die Feier's eyes, her father is her idol, and she likes his demeanor the most.

Lin Xiaozhu's grandmother often said that he had the demeanor of a general: elegant and tolerant, heroic, responsible, warm and open-minded...

Every time Die Fei'er pesters her father to tell stories about the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, and many historical figures, but she also tells stories about "A Dream of Red Mansions" and "The Peony Pavilion"...

Every time Shao Guzhu’s father finished telling a story, he would give many instructions from his mother-in-law and mother-in-law: "Children, you are all girls. When you grow up, you should not live just to please others, nor to show off what you have. Sometimes

Don’t bear too much attention from outsiders, don’t care too much about other people’s evaluations, be sure to live for yourself; be a good person and do things that you like, love the people closest to you, laugh when you want to laugh, cry when you want to cry...

…”

"When a girl grows up, the best and most important role in a woman's life is the role of mother. Girls are emotional pets. Don't tie your emotions to one space. Let yourself live more independently and easily. Women

Throughout your life, you will encounter many things. Many times, what you think is a big thing, when you eagerly confide it to others, is just a small thing in the eyes of others. At most, they will respond indifferently. Because they are not you.

, who have not experienced your story, they cannot feel your surging emotions."

The second girl Prajna stood up, straightened her clothes, and imitated her father's tone and said: "You should learn more from your mother and grandma, who are gentle, brave, optimistic and sunny, but what's cooler about them is that they have been cool since they were young.

Self-discipline, for example, when they were young girls, they would finish reading a book quietly, insist on getting up early, exercise regularly, stabilize their weight, etc.

These things that ordinary people think are ordinary and difficult to last, test a person more and temper a person more."

The eldest girl Wan Wan then said: "Girls, after your grandmothers and mothers got married, they became more self-disciplined and could get up early and go to bed early. When others stayed in bed, they had prepared a delicious breakfast, and

While others stay up late and have fun, they nourish their energy; in addition to raising children, taking care of the elderly, and doing housework, they are diligent in exercising and live a boring and boring life in an interesting and elegant way... In this world, except for girls

Only when you have a good attitude can you help yourself and be the most reliable. No one can really help you."

"Hahahaha... It seems that if you are naughty, memorize my words... Haha!"

Nan Qingwen was amused by the girls.

Every time he talked incessantly, the three girls seemed to understand, and Diefei'er would nod happily, as if she understood what her father said at the age of nine.

"This little girl, your father, whenever you have free time, you will tell the children the principles of life. They are still young. I will see that these girls will become sperms in the future..."

Jia Er's mother was standing aside, looking at everyone with love and chattering happily.

For a while Wanwan and Prajna were playing house, and the two girls went crazy...

A burst of fragrance wafted from the kitchen, "The food is served, the children wash their hands and prepare to eat..."

Uncle Ouyang's wife Yu Mo shouted with a smile on her face, and they brought all the dishes to the table, including braised pork ribs, grilled squid, hairtail soup, five-bean rice, steamed cuttlefish, sour cabbage, steamed steamed dumplings...

So rich!

The three girls ate the dishes in a proper manner. They had been well educated since childhood and they knew table manners.

The adults were eating, talking about things, and drinking the old wine here. The atmosphere was great...

Uncle Ouyang only gave birth to a daughter. She is smart and cute. She is the same age as Die Fei'er and was born a month earlier than her. In the past few days, I heard that she went to her grandmother's house and has not come back. When she comes back, the four of them will

The little girls can live together and play together. Die Fei'er thinks about this little friend of the same age and feels very curious and happy. She hopes to see her soon...

After the meal, the adults chatted for a while, Jia'er mother arranged for the children to wash up, they put on the floral cotton jumpsuits made by Jia'er mother, and went to bed on time.

It was a sultry day, with strong winds suddenly blowing, and dark clouds. This place is close to the sea, and fishing boats have docked. It has been a typhoon these past few days. There were wind, rain, thunder and lightning. The weather was very bad. It rained heavily. Within an hour, there was heavy rain everywhere.

, the world is full of water.

The Ouyang couple went back to their room to rest. At this time, Jia Er and her husband also returned to the bedroom that the Ouyang couple had prepared for them.

Nan Qingwen took out the purple clay pot he treasured next to him, made a pot of tea, and poured a cup of green tea for his wife. This tea seemed to exude a light Zen and elegance, washing the souls and emotions of the couple.

State of mind, the purple clay pot is an ancestral treasure of the Butterfly Valley clan. It was given to Xiaobo by his mother. It may be that in his prime, he has higher requirements for things and attaches more importance to family ties.

He carried it with him wherever he traveled. Maybe he understood: life is like making tea. To truly make tea, the original flavor is not lost, and the color, fragrance and fragrance are all contained. Each life is in different states and has different roles and missions.

As the ancients said, the stone beside the plum blossom should be ancient, the stone under the pine tree should be clumsy, the stone beside the bamboo should be thin, and the stone in the basin should be skillful. Every life has the charm of every life, and every life has the character of every life.

.

He said softly: "Because Suxin's mother-in-law and Xiaomi's mother were good friends and sisters since childhood, Suxin's mother-in-law's life was not easy. Ever since the children's grandfather stayed vigil on a fishing boat when he was young...there has been no news since then.

She adopted you as a baby from your uncle's house and treated you as her biological daughter. She worked hard to raise you well. Although she later adopted a boy who was older than you, she wanted you to get married when you grew up, but she didn't expect him.

The same thing happened to the children’s grandfather..."

Nan Qingwen continued to take a sip of tea: "Personnel changes, and then fate came. Under the arrangement of Xiaobi's mother-in-law and Suxin's mother-in-law, we went on a blind date, and we were both very satisfied with each other. The elders of the two families were very happy, and we

We got married...and later we had several lovely children..."

Jia Er took over the conversation: "I married into the largest family in Butterfly Valley. The folk customs here are mellow and everyone is kind-hearted. My little mother-in-law is very good to me and teaches me how to behave. Since the child was born, you have come to Butterfly Harbor to start a business.

You have suffered a lot over the years, but fortunately you have Brother Ouyang and Brother Tang Yixiang to take care of you and support you, allowing you to gain a foothold in Butterfly Harbor... Mom and I are very happy..."

"Yes, so many years have gone by in the blink of an eye. I have been away from home, and you have been working hard to take care of everything in the family. I know that you are filial, gentle, tolerant and generous, and never care about fame and fortune. Although you are usually taciturn.
To be continued...
