  Rainfall hut to play the pipa.

——

  Shangyuan returned to the four o'clock day, and China Shenzhou also restored the peace and tranquility of the past. Although there is no shortage of fireworks in the world, it still seems to be missing something.

  Kyushu knows that what is missing is the atmosphere of the New Year. People are still beaming, but the holiday is over and everything is back to normal.

It has been three or four days since Shangyuan returned to four o'clock, but the day of the handover of rain and shock has not yet arrived. Looking at the last few days, the rain brought Kyushu to play around.

  "Kyushu, where do you want to go? Brother Rain will take you there!" It is rare to go around in rainy days. Now with Meng Jiuzhou, it is not easy to stay in one place and be bored by children.

  "Then Yushui will take Kyushu to the south to see flowers, okay? The flowers are full of mountains and plains, but they are beautiful!" Kyushu likes flowers and always feels that the flowers are so vibrant.

  I came to the hilly and dwarf mountains in the south, the trees all over the mountains were lush and green, and from a distance, there were clusters of snowflakes and branches full of branches.

  Looking more closely, I found that there was some thick white snow covering, but it was silvery white petals and golden stamens, full of plum blossoms.

   "Wow, it's a mountain full of plum flowers! It's so beautiful!"

   "Hey, Brother Yushui, do you think there is a house there?" Kyushu was pointing at a place where the smoke was rising.

  The rain water followed the place pointed to by Kyushu, where there was smoke, and under the clouds, a thatched house was looming, "Yeah."

  "Brother Yushui, shall we visit, okay?" Kyushu looked at Yushui expectantly, "It looks like this plum tree was planted by that family!"

"good."

  The rain turned into a figure, Yun Xianli sent himself and Kyushu to the ground, "Let’s go, let’s go over."

  The water mist in the mountains and forests was a little damp on the body, and the surrounding water vapor condensed into small water droplets and fell into the grass.

  You can see the grass coming out of its head, swaying under the breeze, just like a child who shook his head and read a book in ancient times. It was dumb and cute.

  Meng Jiuzhou and Yushui walked for a while, and they arrived in front of that person's house.

An old grandfather was sprinkling corn beans at the door to feed the chickens, "Cuckoo, eat, go back to the nest after dinner to lay eggs!" The grandfather treats his own hens like his own children, coaxing and teasing .

Grandpa raised his head and saw Meng Jiuzhou. Jiuzhou was staring at the shiny hen and smiled awkwardly. Then he said, "Grandpa, my brother and I are passing by here. The plum tree in this mountain is you. Is it planted? So beautiful!"

  "I didn't plant it! It was planted by my grandfather's generation. There were only a dozen trees back then, but now it is full of mountains and plains!" The grandfather seemed to think of something happy, and he was very proud of him with a smile on his face.

"Little friend, you see it will rain this day, you go home with your brother earlier!" The grandfather looked at Kyushu, his eyes were very kind, "Hey, if you don’t dislike it, go to the old man’s house. Sit for a while and wait for the rain to pass before leaving!"

   "Okay, thank you grandpa!" Kyushu itself wanted to come and see the people in the mountains, so naturally he was happy to rest at the grandpa's house.

The old grandfather walked in front, mumbling as he walked, not just talking to Kyushu or simply saying to himself: "It's raining in this spring, just for a while, just for a while, and it will stop after a while. Maybe the sun will be out again!"

The grandfather poured chrysanthemum tea on Kyushu and Rain, "There is nothing good about tea. This is the emperor chrysanthemum picked last fall. It is very hot in the spring. Although you are still children, you can also keep healthy by drinking. Don't think about the old man and me. Time to know the maintenance!"

   "Thank you, grandpa!"

   "Thank you."

   "Thank you for what?" The old man smiled and poured some tea for one person and one immortal.

   Raindrops hit the roof, like the sound of a pipa in a poem, "big beads and small beads fall on a jade plate."

  The precipitation is not large, and the raindrops converge into a silver line along the tip of the thatch on the roof and hang down to the ground.

  When the rain is lighter, the raindrops will resemble broken pearls, crackling on the ground, and splashing ripples in the pits...

  After a long while, the rain finally stopped. Say goodbye to the old man, Kyushu and Yushui are going back to four o'clock.
