morning.

The sun has risen, but the cold wind is strong and the temperature is still very low.

"Is it really possible to find frozen roe deer in the mountains?"

Fat old Wu came over curiously, walking lamely.

Touching the frozen roe deer, it was really hard. Half of the roe deer's body was still covered with a lot of snow.

"Are there many roe deer freezing to death in the mountains?"

"Not much, mainly because the green-backed dog has a sharp nose. I followed him to find it." Xu Dahai put the roe deer down, patted the snow on his gloves and said with a smile:

"Let's go inside and chat!"

Lao Wu has inconvenient legs and feet. He usually lives a pampered life and seldom leaves the Dafu Hotel. But now that the weather is cold, he can overcome many difficulties and come to Xujiatun.

Xu Dahai guessed that he was not here for a visit, but that it must be related to the novel he wrote.

really.

After entering the room and taking a seat, I took a few puffs of cigarettes.

Old Wu frowned and sighed:

"Hey~ I'm just unlucky. I went to several publishing houses in the provincial capital, but no one picked up my book.

As a result, when I was planning to come back and waiting for the bus at the train station, my bag was even changed! "

"Changed?"

"Yeah." Lao Wu gestured with his hands to show the size of a leather bag, which was about 60 centimeters long:

"My leather bag is just this big, black, and quite ordinary. After all, if you don't reveal your wealth, you won't use a very good leather bag.

After I took the train to the county seat, I thought that although the matter had not been completed, I still needed to eat, but I only had more than 3 cents left with me, which was not enough for food.

I just wanted to take the money from the bag, but when I opened the zipper, what do you think was inside? Waste newspapers, wooden sticks, dirt! "

Lao Wu can still recall the dumbfounded, shocked, puzzled, and angry feeling at that time!

"When I took a closer look, this was not my bag at all!

Although they are very similar, I clearly remember that there are a few white marks on the lower right corner of my purse, which were scratched by my cat.

This bag doesn’t! I just don’t know when it was replaced.

I guess it must be that when I was in the provincial capital, there were so many people and so many eyes, so I was not thinking about book publishing, but I was distracted. "

After chatting for a while, Lao Wu said that in addition to two pieces of clothing and several thousand dollars, there was a copy of "The Heroes of the Five Generations" in the bag.

Now the "Five Generations of Heroes" is also lost.

Previously, he had someone copy three copies, had a taxi driver steal one, and lost another at the train station.

The last one is here with Xu Dahai.

He stood up and opened the second drawer in the first row of the kangqin, and pulled open the big fat cat that poked its head. Xu Dahai took out the last book "The Legend of Five Generations of Heroes" and handed it to Lao Wu with a smile:

"Everything is hard to come by, so don't be discouraged. Keep this one in good hands. If you don't ask someone to copy a few more copies, it won't cost you much anyway."

Old Wu quickly took the book, touched it carefully, regarded it as a treasure, and saw that the last "Heroes of the Five Dynasties" was intact.

He couldn't help but feel relieved.

Before coming here, I was very worried. If something happened to the last book, I would really vomit blood.

After all, he had burned part of the manuscript and lit a cigarette, so it was no longer complete.

"Yeah, I'll ask someone to copy it when I get back. By the way, that..."

Lao Wu carefully wrapped the book in a furoshiki, put it carefully into his bag, and asked Wu Sheng next to him to hold the bag.

What else did he want to say.

Sudden.

A dog barked outside the yard, followed by a shout: "Xiao Hai, are you at home?"

"Who is it?"

Xu Dahai put on his cotton-padded jacket, opened the door and went out, and found that the person coming was Xu Yeliang.

Dad followed him out, and several others came to the door of the house without wearing cotton-padded jackets.

"Brother Yeliang, what's going on?"

"There's something wrong with my tractor. I want to drive it to Longxing Township to have it repaired. But now it can't start. Can you help me?"

"Okay, let's go."

Xu Dahai turned around and asked Old Wu and Wu Sheng to sit in the room for a while, and he would be back soon.

Living in rural areas, it is common to help each other with small favors.

The sun is rising, and the thick snow reflects the light, dazzling the eyes.

The two walked forward through the crunching snow while chatting.

Xu Yeliang walks on the right, taking longer steps:

“I was watching them playing cards at the canteen last night, and I don’t know who started talking about chicken farms.

Everyone is guessing how much dividends there will be at the end of this year. Some say it will be dozens of yuan, while others say it will be hundreds of yuan. Xiaohai, what do you think? "

After speaking, Xu Yeliang laughed first.

Everyone has always been paying a lot of attention to chicken farms, and they are naturally looking forward to the first dividend.

Xu Dahai also laughed instantly:

"Most of the stupid chickens haven't started laying eggs yet. We can't rush this matter. I guess the dividend won't be much, maybe it's just for fun. Haha~ By the way, what's wrong with the tractor?"

“The engine overheated and there were a few other minor issues.

I was too lazy to fix it, but your sister-in-law nags me at home every day, and I am really worried that if it continues, the minor problem will turn into a big problem, so I might as well go to Longxing Township. "

"Engine overheating?"

Xu Dahai suspected that there was a problem with the brakes or the cooling system. He only knew a little bit about tractors, so he also suggested that Xu Yeliang go to a mechanic to have a look.

Come to the courtyard.

The two of them bent down and twisted the handle together. Swish, swish, swish, the handle rotated rapidly, and the chimney began to emit bursts of black smoke.

"Let go!"

Ta da da~ da da da~

The tractor soon caught fire, the body shook and the noise was loud.

"Xiao Hai, thank you!"

"Ha, why are you being polite to me? Slow down on the road!"

Xu Yeliang put on another military coat and quickly drove the tractor out of the yard and gradually drove away.

"Suck~"

His son, Xiao Shitou, raised his neck and kept breathing in the black smoke emitted by the tractor. He felt that the smell was so good that he was almost intoxicated.

His mother slapped him on the back, "Pah~"

"You don't have any eyesight at all. Ask your uncle to go sit in the house. It's really cold today."

The invitation from Xu Yeliang's wife was just a courtesy.

Xu Dahai naturally knew how to avoid suspicion. There were many old ladies gossiping behind his back in the village, so he quickly left on the pretext of having trouble at home.

After Xu Dahai returned home, his father Xu Houtian was chatting with Lao Wu, and the atmosphere was quite good.

noon.

I made some dumplings stuffed with roe deer meat, stewed a fish and a chicken, paired them with several vegetarian dishes, and made six dishes and one soup.

Wu Sheng lowered his head and ate hard. He felt that the food was very tasty. He had eaten enough of the food from Dafu Hotel every day.

Old Wu thought he looked ugly and glared at him fiercely:

"What? I usually starve you? Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."

He raised his head and looked around again, smiling at his father Xu Houtian, Xu Dahai and others: "I've spoiled this kid."

But my mother was very happy, with wrinkles on her face surging like water waves, and she kept picking up vegetables for Wu Sheng: "It's good to eat more. It's a blessing to be able to eat. Now is the time to grow taller, eat more, come on, Eat this big chicken drumstick.”
