这里住着快乐、勤劳、善良的一家人，老爷爷和老奶奶坐在茅屋屋檐下，他们慈祥的笑着，说话的声音又温柔又婉媚，谈论着自己的儿子们，看着远处干农活的儿子们。大儿子在溪边的豆地里除草，只见他双手不停地挥着锄头，头也没抬，身上汗流夹背，烈日当空照，他也没有在意，认真的锄掉一根又一根杂草，希望今年有个好的收成。二儿子，手艺真巧。正忙着编织鸡笼，他细心的挑选着竹子，认真的一根根的编织着，谁也打扰不了他，像是在做一件艺术品一样。老奶奶和老爷爷最喜欢顽皮淘气的小儿子，他虽然不会做农活，但是他活泼可爱，脑袋机灵着，总是想着办法找乐趣。你看，他想采莲蓬了，可是个子矮小，根本采不到远处的莲蓬，他脑袋一转，马上躺在地上，伸直手，这样就采到莲蓬了，他腹部贴在地上，左手拉住岸边的小草，右手伸直，一下拉住了莲杆，很快就采到大大的莲蓬。他躺在地上剥开外面的一层绿皮，露出了白白莲子，连忙跑回家里，给父母和两位哥哥享用。
Great grandfather, old grandma looks at 3 their sons, each department its thing, laughed happily.
