butcher's little man

After Tian Xiaoman rubbed Li Wenxuan for a while, Li Wenxuan was satisfied and asked him to let go, so as not to get tired himself.

Since he didn't know the way just now, the carriage stopped here for a while, Tian Xiaoman noticed it after rubbing his shoulders, and couldn't help wondering, "Why don't you leave?"

"I don't know the way to my uncle's house, I want to wait for you to tell me!"

Tian Xiaoman looked at the two small roads in front of him, but couldn't make up his mind for a moment. He remembered that there seemed to be a small pavilion on the road to his uncle's house!

After Tian Xiaoman talked to Li Wenxuan, Li Wenxuan jumped out of the carriage, climbed onto a big tree on one side and looked into the distance, and sure enough, he found a small pavilion on the side road.He jumped off the tree and got back into the carriage, "Drive!"

Li Wenxuan controlled the horse to walk to the path on the left, and the carriage drove slowly again.

Not long after, there was movement from inside the carriage, and Aunt Tian and Amu Tian also woke up. Amu Tian opened the curtain and found that they were almost at his house.

Since his father and mother passed away, he has not been back for a long time. According to their rules, after the death of the elders, except for the son, the elder brother cannot go home to pay New Year's greetings within two years.The few brothers of them also chose to meet outside during the Chinese New Year.

This year happened to be the third year, and Tian Amu felt a little relieved when she thought that she would come back again after the next year.Father Tian saw Tian Amu like this, he just held his hand tightly and didn't say anything else to comfort him.

Tian Amu glanced at Tian Afu and smiled a little. This old man doesn't seem to like to make a sound, but in fact he is quite good at reading his face.

Tian Xiaoman sat on the carriage, dangling his legs, looking at the scenery on both sides leisurely.This is a relatively narrow path, which can only accommodate one carriage at a time. There are mountains on both sides, and there are many trees on it. When autumn comes, the fallen leaves fall down one after another, which seems to pave the path with a thick layer. carpet.

But Tian Xiaoman's eyes were not attracted by these trees. He was looking at the trees hidden in the middle of these big trees, with a few branches sticking out from time to time, and there were yellow or green hair balls hanging on the branches.

This kind of tree is called the hairy chestnut tree. The fruit it bears is not as big as a chestnut. The small ones are squeezed into each thorn ball, and the biggest one is no bigger than a thumb!

But it is cooked earlier than chestnuts. It tastes sweet and delicious when peeled raw, but it is too small. It is better to peel a bowl and boil it with star anise and cinnamon in salt water. It is more convenient to eat.

Every time after Tian Amu made this, Tian Xiaoman would put a lot of it in his purse. When eating, he would not peel it off, stuff a few pieces into his mouth, and chew a few times. The pink and glutinous hairy chestnut meat Then it breaks out of the shell, and the mouth is full of fragrance, and then just spit out the dregs.

When they went up the mountain last time, they didn't know this one yet, but they didn't expect the ones on his uncle's side to be familiar. Maybe it's because the sun shines more on this side!

Tian Xiaoman looked at it, and suddenly wanted to eat something. He didn't eat much in the morning, so he was a little hungry.However, he is almost at his uncle's house, and he will be able to eat soon.

The carriage walked on the narrow path for a while, and the terrain gradually opened up, and people could be seen in the distance.Tian Xiaoman exclaimed excitedly, "Just ahead, there are two jujube trees at the door!"

Li Wenxuan obediently parked the carriage beside the jujube tree, Tian Xiaoman jumped out of the car, and ran towards the yard, "Uncle, we are here!" There were already many people sitting in the yard, all relatives of the Shen family, Uncle Shen Hearing Tian Xiaoman's voice, he looked back and smiled all over his face, "You guys are here, where are your father and mother?"

During the questioning, Father Tian, ​​Amu Tian, ​​and Li Wenxuan also walked in. After Uncle Shen greeted them, he turned his attention to Li Wenxuan, "This is Xiaoman's fiancé-in-law, right?"

Li Wenxuan hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Hello, uncle, the boy is Li Wenxuan!"

Uncle Shen took a look at this young man, and found that his face was resolute, and there was a sense of righteousness between his brows, he laughed and said, "Okay, he is a good boy, don't be too polite, let's go in!"

Uncle Shen welcomed them in, Tian Xiaoman was already inside, leaning on Uncle Shen, talking intimately.

Seeing Li Wenxuan and the others come in, Tian Xiaoman whispered to Uncle Shen, "That's him!"

Uncle Shen also looked at Li Wenxuan, thinking that this young man looked pretty good, Li Wenxuan quickly saluted again.

After everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, Uncle Shen took Aunt Tian and Xiaoman Tian to see the newborn baby, while Uncle Shen took Aunt Tian and Li Wenxuan out to meet other relatives.

Tian Amu entered the room, and saw Brother Wang sitting half-sitting on the head of the bed, with a red cloth tied on his head. Xiaoman felt a little uncomfortable, but he also knew that it seemed that the room where the baby had just been born had this smell.

When Brother Wang saw the person coming, joy appeared on his pale face, "Auntie! You are here!" Apart from the two brothers in the Shen family, Shen Ying was the only brother, and they naturally only had one aunt, who treated them extremely well. Well, Brother Wang and his husband respect him very much.

"Yeah, let's come and see you and the baby, good boy, you've come a long way!" Tian Amu sat down by the bed and patted Brother Wang's head.

When Wang Xiaoping heard this, tears welled up in his eyes. In the past two years, he was really struggling. Basically all those who married in the same year as him had children, and those who were married a long time later than him also had news. nothing happened.

Fortunately, no one from her husband's family blamed him, but everyone treated him very well because of this incident. At that time, even his father and mother were a little disappointed, and every time he went home, he would talk about it.People in the village also secretly said behind his back that he was barren, and that the eldest son of the Shen family might end up dying!

Unexpectedly, when he was about to give up, he suddenly became pregnant again. The Shen family was very happy and let him take good care of him. No matter whether he gave birth to a brother or a man, it was their Shen family's treasure!

Brother Wang held back his tears and took the baby out of the bed, "This kid is blessed. Everyone came to see him when he was born. Father helped him name Tianci, saying that it was given to us by God." , Brother Tao gave him a nickname, called An An, I hope he will be safe for the rest of his life!"

Tian Amu took the baby over, held it in her hand and looked at it carefully. The baby's skin was still a little red, and her face was tightly wrinkled. She looked like an old mother, but Tian Amu still followed his The shadow of their Shen family could be vaguely seen in the eyebrows and eyes, and they praised, "This kid looks really good, exactly the same as his father when he was born!"

Tian Xiaoman lay on his mother's shoulder and looked at this little baby, thinking that he was a bit ugly, like... just like the little monkey Li Wenxuan gave him!Thinking about it this way, I think this little baby is a little cute!

He also heard Ah Mu Tian say that he looked like his big cousin, he suddenly felt that his big cousin could really lie, how could his big cousin look like a little monkey because he is a good-looking talent?

Tian Xiaoman looked at the baby, then at Brother Wang, and suddenly thought of a question that had troubled him for a long time, "Sister-in-law, Xiao An'an is so big, how did she get born? It was pulled out from the armpit ?"

Brother Wang was stunned by his question, his face turned red after he realized it, and he thought it was a little funny, but he didn't laugh out loud, so Uncle Shen didn't care about it, he just pointed at Tian Xiaoman and laughed, Tian Amu was also happy no.

Looking at the expressions on their faces, Tian Xiaoman felt very puzzled, did he say something wrong?Why everyone is laughing!

Uncle Shen laughed for a while and finally stopped, and said mysteriously, "Xiao Man, you will know about this problem when you get married, so there is no rush now haha."

Tian Xiaoman's face drooped, he had asked many times since he was a child, and these adults said so every time!

Maybe the sound of the adults woke up the sleeping baby. He frowned faintly, moved his pink mouth, and suddenly burst into tears.

"Auntie, give me the baby? Maybe he's hungry, I'll feed him some!" Tian Amu handed the baby to Brother Wang, who was about to move, but stopped again.

Tian Amu understood, "Xiao Man, you go out to play first, and see if your second uncle and the others are here!"

Tian Xiaoman was very dissatisfied. He wanted to stay and watch the baby eat, but he was about to be sent away again!

He walked out with his mouth upturned, and the other people who saw him laughed a little, "He's just a child with a temper, let him be spoiled!" Tian Amu shook her head, and she didn't know what it would be like to be married!

Uncle Shen comforted, "Little brother, I look at Brother Xiaoman very well, pure in mind, lively and lovely!"

Tian Amu smiled, and took out a red cloth bag from his arms. He opened the red cloth bag, and a pair of small silver bracelets appeared in front of them, engraved with auspicious clouds, and each bracelet had The two little bells look so cute!

When Brother Wang saw it, he said, "Why are you so polite, you can't do it!"

"Why can't it be done? When his father was born, my family was in a hard time. I couldn't afford to buy it even if I wanted to. Now it's the same for his son!" Tian Amu couldn't push the distance, and put the cloth bag on the Under Brother Wang's pillow.

Uncle Shen also said, "It's okay, just accept it, your aunt has shown your kindness, and you and Tao'er can just be filial to your aunt in the future!" He was actually a little surprised in his heart, this little brother brought two old hens , and brought a piece of muslin cloth, this gift is considered a real relative in the eyes of the country people, but I didn't expect that this intention is still behind!What's more, his son-in-law just brought four big pig's trotters, which are the best things for people in confinement!

Several people talked again. During this period, Brother Wang also fed the baby, and the baby fell asleep again after eating.

"Ah Mu, Second Uncle and the others are here!" Tian Xiaoman called softly outside the door, he was afraid to frighten the baby too loudly.

After hearing this, Tian Amu walked out with Uncle Shen to meet his younger brother.

Tian Xiaoman got into the room when he saw them going out, and was disappointed to find that the baby had fallen asleep. He looked at Brother Wang, and felt that he was the only one who asked, "Sister-in-law, tell me, baby How did it come about!"

Brother Wang was embarrassed to say it, and seeing Tian Xiaoman kept urging him, he said vaguely, "You can come out as you came in! Xiaoman, stop asking!"

What he said made Tian Xiaoman even more confused, what is it all about?What went in and out?
