butcher's little man

The two chased after each other, laughing and walking up the mountain.The weather in early autumn is sunny and comfortable.The sky was cloudless, and the path was very quiet, except for the occasional chirping of birds, and the chirping sounds one after another, which made people smile knowingly.

Walking to the end of the path, there is a slightly larger lake, the lake water is crystal clear, the breeze blows, the lake surface has ripples, and a few water birds fly by from time to time in the distance.

Tian Xiaoman came here, took a deep breath, turned his head and said to Li Wenxuan, "Every time I come to my uncle's house, I have to come here, it looks so beautiful here!" Li Wenxuan looked at Tian Xiaoman with a little surprise , I didn't expect Xiaoman to be addicted to the scenery sometimes!Following Tian Xiaoman's example, he took a deep breath, spread his hands, and felt the breeze blowing over his body.

Before he could immerse himself in it, Tian Xiaoman said again, "I'll take you to a place!" As he spoke, he ran to the left side of the lake, and Li Wenxuan followed curiously. Is there a more beautiful place?

On the left side of the lake, there are a few boulders scattered around the lake. One of the boulders has a groove in the middle, which looks dark and deep.

Tian Xiaoman walked to the side of this boulder, stretched out his hand to dig out, and took out a pot under Li Wenxuan's surprised eyes!It was a very small pot, and the cooked food was probably only enough for two people. There was a small pot lid on it, and when the lid was lifted, there were some things wrapped in oil paper. Li Wenxuan guessed it should be seasoning!

Hehe, he thought with a blank face, his husband is still his husband, it's because he can cook wild food here that he comes here every time!

These things are made by the brothers themselves, and a pot is not so cheap!Because they were afraid that the elders would find out if they brought it back, they found this perfect hiding place!In fact, how could the elders not know?It's just pretending not to know, and I can't bear to spoil their good mood.

In the past, there were many people. His two elder brothers and the four cousins ​​of the uncle's family could find a lot of delicious food every time!However, as time went by, everyone grew up gradually, and few people came here to cook and eat. Only Tian Xiaoman still persisted every time he came.

Everyone knows Tian Xiaoman's preferences, and when he thinks about it every once in a while, he will pack some seasonings and throw away the ones that have been put away for a long time, so that anyone who suddenly wants to come over to relive the joy of childhood can do it.

"Li Wenxuan, let's go beat the chestnuts? I'll cook them in this pot and eat them later. They're more delicious than melon seeds!" Tian Xiaoman looked at these things for a while, then turned his head and said to Li Wenxuan excitedly.

Although his brothers can't accompany him now, he seems to have found someone who can accompany him for the rest of his life. Li Wenxuan, will it be such a person?

Li Wenxuan also looked at Tian Xiaoman, and said without hesitation, "Okay! I'll listen to you!"

When Tian Xiaoman heard this, he burst into a big smile, put the pot back into the hole, took Li Wenxuan's hand, and walked up the mountain.

Li Wenxuan looked at Tian Xiaoman, and held his hand with his backhand. His big palm tightly wrapped around Tian Xiaoman's hand. Tian Xiaoman didn't struggle, and he held it softly.

The mountain is now covered with fallen leaves, and no matter where you step on it, there will be a creaking sound.From time to time, there are little squirrels jumping among the trees.

Chestnuts usually grow on sunny hillsides. They are slender shrubs. After searching for a while, Tian Xiaoman and Li Wenxuan found a large clump of small fur balls hanging on the trees, some of which were already yellow. Crack open to reveal the hairy chestnuts inside, some are still green, but they look mature!

In the past, when Tian Xiaoman came to pick them, he carried a basket on his back, and then took a big pair of scissors, cut them off and put them in the basket, but now he has neither a basket nor scissors, so he didn't know what to do for a while!Do you want him to give up the food he got?

Seeing that he was embarrassed, Li Wenxuan looked at the chestnut tree, cut off the whole branch from below and handed it to Tian Xiaoman.Well, this is also a good idea!Then they folded happily.

After folding about a dozen of them, Tian Xiaoman stopped Li Wenxuan and said it was all right, Li Wenxuan stopped, then put all the branches in Tian Xiaoman's hand into his arms, and then returned the same way.Tian Xiaoman looked at the figure of Li Wenxuan holding a branch in front of him, with a smile on his face.

Back at the boulder, Li Wenxuan was in charge of looking for firewood, while Tian Xiaoman smashed Mao Li out with a stone. The two worked separately, and after a while, Mao Li was boiled in the pot, and Tian Xiaoman only put a little salt in it. , just put the lid on the pot, the fresh chestnut tastes very sweet, just add salt to enhance the taste, there is no need to put those big ingredients, it will destroy its own taste instead.

The two sat side by side by the fire, neither of them spoke, but everyone felt that there was no need for anyone to speak at this time, and it was quite comfortable to be quiet.

Tian Xiaoman listened to the sound of bubbling water, and admired the beautiful scenery. Sitting beside him was the person he would spend his whole life with, and felt his heart burn, and he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.And so did Li Wenxuan.

The water in the pot gradually boiled dry, and the smell of chestnuts came out. Tian Xiaoman walked over, lifted the lid of the pot and took a look, then took out the firewood inside and stopped heating it.The two sat and waited for a while. After the temperature in the pot was not so hot, one of them grabbed a handful of chestnuts and ate them. The taste was salty and sweet, and it tasted sweet and glutinous. The more you eat, the more you want to eat. eat.

Sitting by the beautiful lake, the two of them ate delicious chestnuts and occasionally chatted a few gossips. They thought it was such a good day!

A pot of chestnuts was eaten by them at a speed visible to the naked eye. Tian Xiaoman and Li Wenxuan looked at each other in embarrassment. Just now they said they would save some for his father and mother to eat!Looking at the bottom of the pot, Tian Xiaoman said, I can't eat any more!I don't know if it's Li Wenxuan or himself!Afterwards, he took off the cloth bag hanging on his body, drained the remaining chestnut and poured it in. Although it was a little less, it was just a fresh taste!

Cleaned up the traces beside the boulder, washed the pot, dried it and put it back on the spot, and the two went down the mountain.It was Shen Shizheng at this time, and when they went down the mountain, they found that Uncle Shen's house had already set meals!It stands to reason that it should be early, but considering that some relatives have to rush home, this meal is also called early dinner, which is usually eaten in the afternoon.

This meal is not limited to noodles, so Uncle Shen opened a few tables of normal banquets for everyone to eat, and the cook invited Ding, the cook who is used to weddings and weddings in their village, this meal is a feast for the guests and hosts!

In order to rush back earlier, they didn't say anything polite to Uncle Shen, they greeted Uncle Shen and got ready to get in the car. Uncle Shen brought out two bamboo baskets, and put two catties of noodles in each basket.Tian Amu looked at it, and said strangely, "It is enough for our family to return a gift, what about you, big brother?" Uncle Shen laughed and said, "Xiaoman has already engaged, so he is considered an adult. It should be given, take it!"

After hearing this, Tian Amu didn't say anything. After saying goodbye to them again, she got into the carriage with two baskets and left.

Different from the sleepiness when he came here, Tian Xiaoman seemed very energetic. Sitting next to Li Wenxuan, he chatted and shared with him everything he saw. Hearing that Amu Tian felt his head hurt when he was inside, fortunately, this child Wenxuan could bear it. Him, otherwise this guy would definitely fall into his hands!
