What is Xiao Shuai Ge?

  Liu Laobo's home is in Yinxing Village on the outskirts of the imperial capital.

  To enter the territory of Ginkgo Village, you need to follow a winding small road.

  At this moment, Tang Lin is walking on this winding small road, and the surrounding areas are all farmland. Those fields have already been planted with various crops, and not a single piece of land is left uncultivated.

  Several villagers, standing in the fields weeding and hoeing, saw Tang Lin walking down the path, neat and tidy, and couldn't help but stare.

  Tang Lin asked a young man pulling a black cow, "Young handsome guy, I'll ask you, do you know if Liu Laobo's house is up ahead?" pointing to the village at the end of the small road in front.

  The young man looked silly, he didn't understand Tang Lin's nickname for him, "What's this 'Little Handsome' thing?"

  "Ah," Tang Lin was taken aback, only then remembering that she had used a modern term to address the boy. After thinking for a moment about how to address young people in this place, she came up with an answer and smiled, calling out to the youth again, "Little brother, sister is asking you, do you know where Old Man Liu's home is?"

  "This time, the young man understood and turned around, pointing to the village in front of him, saying: "Oh... are you looking for Old Man Liu? He's the only household with the surname Liu in our Silver Apricot Village. Old Man Liu lives at the end of the village. Next to his house is a lotus pond, sister, if you see the lotus pond, you'll see Old Man Liu's home!"

  A thirteen or fourteen-year-old young boy, unexpectedly able to introduce the address in such detail, Tang Lin somewhat appreciated it, patted the young boy's shoulder and smiled: "Not bad not bad, you're a talented kid, thank you sister, go herd cattle now, sister is going to find your Liu Grandpa!" After finishing speaking, she put away her hand and left.

  The young man stared at her refreshing back and was distracted.

  Every household in Ginkgo Village has a ginkgo tree planted outside their door, which can grow very tall. At intervals of about 10 meters or so, there are four or five little children, hand in hand around the ginkgo tree, reciting tongue twisters: "On the mountain there is a temple, in the temple there is a young monk and an old monk..."

  Tang Lin walked from the head of the village, admiring the scenery of Yinxiao Village all the way to the end of the village, until she saw a lotus pond and stopped in front of a small thatched cottage beside it.

  The lotus flowers in the pond have bloomed and are very beautiful. The little ducks raised by Old Liu's family are playing in the water of the pond.

  At this moment, facing the scene, Tang Lin really had a thought of being in the countryside and not wanting to leave. But she didn't keep lingering over the scenery of the lotus pond, her gaze slowly fell on the small thatched cottage beside the lotus pond.

  The small hut has an enclosure where many little chickens are raised.

  Tang Lin walked over, opened the outer gate and entered the small courtyard. The door of the thatched cottage was open, and just as she was about to walk in, she saw Old Man Liu come out with a bowl of rice.

  Finally found the person I was looking for, Tang Lin felt a wave of joy and called out: "Old man!"

  At the sound, Old Man Liu looked over and saw that it was Tang Lin. His expression changed, and his face showed an indescribable shock. He immediately walked up to Tang Lin and said, "Hey girl, how is it you?"

  Tang Lin's smile froze for a moment, "Old man, aren't you welcoming me?"

  Liu Laobo smiled, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyebrows deepened, and the wrinkles on his forehead also came out without squeezing, "Where's that, you're welcome, not yet!"

  The old man's weathered face was reflected in Tang Lin's eyes, and she couldn't help but sigh at the ruthlessness of time. She took a deep breath, calmed her heavy heart, and took the bowl from Old Man Liu's hands. "Is it for feeding the chicks? Let me do it!"

  Liu Laobo didn't stop Tang Lin's actions, watching her scatter the rice to the chicks in the chicken coop with a smile, "You little girl, you even know how to feed chickens, I underestimated you!"

  At the same time, Gusengjun was driving a horse with two wooden wheels tied together, bumping along the winding small road leading to the outside of Ginkgo Village.
