"We have meatballs, steam some rice, make tofu mixed with green onions, and make egg soup, okay?"

"Okay, I'll wash the rice."

Xiao Tingzi ran to the yard to pick green onions. The green onions grown in her own yard were not too late to pick when it was time to cook. They were very fresh.

Xu Dahai and Wang Xiuxiu started cooking, lighting the fire in the kitchen and washing the rice.

Sudden.

A shout came from outside the yard: "Uncle Hai! What are you cooking that tastes so delicious?"

"Wang Wang Wang ~"

The dogs that were wagging their tails in the house jumped out.

Xu Dahai also walked out and found that it was Xu Yeliang's son Xiao Shitou.

The latter's bare feet, sleeves and trouser legs rolled up, with some unwashed mud still on his legs, were leaning against the fence gate and looking in.

"Fried meatballs, come in and eat!"

"Meatballs? What kind of meat are they?"

"Pork."

Xu Dahai opened the fence door to let Xiao Shitou in, took him into the house and gave him meatballs to eat.

The fragrant meatballs entered his mouth, and Xiaoshi chewed them with a happy expression on his face.

"Yummy, these meatballs are so delicious!"

"Stop choking, drink some water." Wang Xiuxiu poured him a bowl of water and said with a smile, "Where are you from? Why are you barefoot and wearing shoes?"

"The shoes...are thrown by the river."

Little Shitou chewed the meatballs in his mouth, reached into his pocket, and clatter! Some dimes, coins, etc. were all taken out.

All in all.

It adds up to maybe five or six yuan, which is really a lot of money for a child.

"I just caught a dozen toads and went to Uncle Cheng Lin to sell them.

I originally wanted to hide the money in the original place, but I saw a lot of new footprints on the ground over there. I was afraid that they would steal my money, so I brought them all over. "

Xiao Shitou was chewing something in his mouth and spoke vaguely. Wang Xiuxiu didn't hear clearly and asked a few more questions quickly.

She was worried that Xiao Shitou didn't study well and had stolen money from home.

Xu Dahai heard it clearly.

All this money was earned by catching toads with small stones and selling them. A toad cost 5 cents. Little by little, I accumulated a lot, and finally I saved this money.

He dare not leave money at home.

He was afraid that his parents would dig it out and they would definitely confiscate it when the time came.

So I had been hiding the money in a crack in the wall of a broken house in the south.

Now he felt that it was no longer safe there, so he brought the money over and asked Xu Dahai to keep it for him. He trusted his Uncle Hai very much.

"How much is this in total?"

Xu Dahai felt dumbfounded, but thinking about it, Xiao Shitou's life was much better than when he was a child.

Being able to freely spend several dollars is undoubtedly the envy of other children.

“5块8毛3分。本来应该有5块9毛钱的,不过我买了7个玻璃球,等再遇见乡里那几个家伙,我要把上回输掉的玻璃球赢回来!”

Xiao Shitou's face was unconvinced, and he was obviously very worried about the loss last time.

Bouncing glass balls - there are two types: "fake play" and "real play".

Fake play means you won’t lose, it’s just a joke.

And "really fun", if your glass ball is hit by someone else, then the glass ball will lose to someone else! !

Some "masters" can win dozens of glass balls in just one hour, with big bags bulging in their pockets and falling heavily, making them the envy of children.

Xiao Shitou soon put on a smile again and stuffed the money into Xu Dahai's hand:

"Hehe~ Uncle Hai, please keep it for me. I won't trust you if you put it anywhere else. I just believe you... When I save more money, I will buy you some candied haws!"

Xu Dahai laughed, but casually pushed the money back:

"Get out of here, I need your bunch of candied haws on a stick? Eat more meatballs, and then get out of here."

Children's ideas are very simple and simple, and many things are not considered comprehensively.

But Xu Dahai is an adult, so he naturally understands that when it comes to money, he needs to be more cautious.

Throughout the ages, countless brothers and friends have ended up breaking up because of money.

Take the current situation as an example.

If Xiao Shitou gave the money to Xu Dahai for safekeeping, the latter would naturally not be greedy for his money, but what if Xiao Shitou himself remembered it wrong?

He obviously kept more than five yuan, but he recorded it as more than six yuan. In the end, he thought Xu Dahai was greedy for his money...

This situation can happen.

And we also have to consider Xu Yeliang’s thoughts...

Anyway, Xiao Shitou put the money away, rolled his eyes slightly, and decided to find a box to put the money in and bury it under the willow tree by the river.

Before he left, Xu Dahai grabbed another handful of meatballs for him.

"Wash your hands and let's eat too."

"Yeah, are the tofu mixed with green onions ready?"

"It's done. Let's eat. The egg soup is almost cold."

The family of three was chatting while eating. Wang Xiuxiu urged the little girl to finish her summer homework quickly and not to be playful, otherwise it would be very painful when school is about to start.

The little girl agreed repeatedly and secretly took a meatball and fed it to the big orange cat.

"Meow~"

The big fat cat is greedy, its eyes are shining, and the food it eats is very delicious. It may not be long before it becomes fat again.

Xu Dahai took a sip of wine and ate a meatball. He was very happy to see his wife and daughter looking happy.

It’s good to live a simple and comfortable life.

Through the window, he could see not only the blue sky and white clouds, but also the white flowers on several gourd and gourd vines.

The breeze blew, and the white flowers swayed leisurely among the large green leaves, which was holy and beautiful.

Take a closer look.

You can also see some fist-sized gourds and gourds among the leaves, which are green and delicate, with a layer of fine hair on the surface.

Grandma said not to touch the fluff.

If the down is knocked off, the gourd and gourd will not continue to grow.

"Our gourds and gourds were planted a little late. I see other people's gourds are almost full."

"It's indeed a bit late, but I should still be able to eat."

Wang Xiuxiu ate it with rice, green onions and tofu.

I'm used to eating big fish and big meat, so I occasionally eat tofu mixed with green onions and find it quite delicious.

"By the way, Xiao Shitou said before that a toad costs 5 cents, which is a high enough price." Wang Xiuxiu said with a smile:

"One is 5 cents, 20 is 1 yuan, an adult can catch [-] in a day, right??"

"This... more or less. As more toads are caught, the number of toads becomes less and less."

After eating.

Xu Dahai and Wang Xiuxiu cleared the table together and watched TV for a while. When sleepiness hit them, they lay down on the kang and fell asleep beautifully.

"Meow~"

The big orange cat wanted to sleep on Xu Dahai's chest, but as soon as she raised her paws, Wang Xiuxiu caught her.

"Lazy cat, he wants to sleep when he's full! Come on, follow me to the barn. The mice have chewed the food bags!"
