In the basket behind him, besides the bought meat, vegetables and other ingredients, he also bought ten catties of brown sugar.The candies given by Xi's family are all high-quality candies, and Xuanmu is reluctant to use up all of them at once, not to mention that even if they use all of them, it may not be enough.

In addition to these things, there are ten catties of unhulled rice and several catties of bran.This is specially used to feed the half-sized chick they have at home.

It is said to be a half-sized chicken, but it is actually bigger than the ordinary chicken in Xuan Muzhi's cognition. It weighs at least four or five catties. It is not a small expense to eat rice, bran, vegetable leaves and the like every day. Well, if it wasn't for their family's food is not a problem now, this chicken really can't afford it.

The weight of more than 30 kilograms on the back is nothing at all on a grown man or a relatively strong boy, but Xuan Muzhi's original body is very thin.It's no wonder that although I do physical labor every day, I can't eat enough all the year round, and my physical fitness is not good.

His body was thin and his complexion was yellow, but Xuan Muzhi was able to eat his fill gradually these days.When he woke up this morning, Xuan Muzhi felt a little uncomfortable in his body, dizzy, like a low-grade fever, and after walking for so long, his whole body became weaker and weaker, and he barely bought all he needed Things, step by step towards the small mountain village where they live.

The North District is a slum area, and naturally no one is dedicated to repairing the roads. Although it is not rough and difficult to walk, it is definitely not as easy to walk as the spacious and flat bluestone roads in the West District.

Xuan Muzhi was not feeling well, and he was thinking about things along the way, so he was inevitably a little absent-minded, so that the small animals that suddenly jumped out from the side of the road made him startled, and he suddenly fell sideways with the soles of his feet.

"Are you okay?" A strong arm reached out to Xuan Muzhi.

Xuan Muzhi raised his head and glanced, he was a young man about his age, but this young man looked really good-looking, with black clothes, black hair, long and narrow eyes that were also black and golden, and the color of his lips was the opposite, a little light, but it made him One cannot ignore.Obviously just standing there simply, but there is a domineering energy that is lazy and ready to go.

Such facial features are already outstanding when viewed alone, but they are even more amazing when combined together.This kind of temperament that can be perfectly combined with domineering and lazy is simply the only time he has ever seen in his life. It kills all the stars in his world in seconds, but it seems that he has a bad temper.

Xuan Muzhi stared blankly at the other party for a moment, until the other party raised his eyebrows puzzledly before reacting, he didn't know why his face felt hot, he shook his head and got up on his own.

The young man didn't mind either, and withdrew his hand to help him pick up the things that had been spilled from the back basket. Fortunately, the basket in his hand was not scattered, otherwise the basket of petals fell on the yellow dirt road, and I really don't know how to pick them up.The bag containing the grain was loosened, and some of the grain inside was scattered, and the two of them went to pick it up together, but they bumped their heads together.

"I'll do it." The young man helped to put all the scattered grains into the sack, and there were only some left that couldn't be picked up.

"Those are unnecessary." Xuan Muzhi said in a low voice. "Thank you."

When he stood up again, Xuan Muzhi realized that his foot seemed to be sprained just now. Although the pain was not unbearable, every step he took made his face twitch a few times.

"Come up and I'll carry you on my back." The boy put the basket aside and lowered his body, "Where is your home, I'll take you back."

"How embarrassing..." Xuan Muzhi didn't want to bother others too much, "I can walk slowly by myself."

The young man looked at Xuan Muzhi for a moment, until Xuan Muzhi's scalp felt a little numb, then he picked up his backpack and walked straight forward.

"..." Xuan Muzhi looked at the goods worth several silver coins behind the young man, and could only reluctantly follow.

But the boy didn't go far, walked a few steps to a big tree, reached out and broke off a relatively thick branch, and dropped the upper branch in twos and threes, "Lean on it."

Xuan Muzhi blushed.Seeing the other party's fierce look, he thought that the other party was taking advantage of the fire to rob him, but he didn't expect to find a crutch for him.Although the foot injury was not that serious, the other party's kindness could not be rejected over and over again, so he nodded, thanked him, and then walked slowly behind the boy.

This time the boy didn't walk too fast, and he would give him a hand from time to time.It was only when Xuan Muzhi walked that he realized that he was too optimistic. It was difficult for him to even walk, let alone carry things on his back.Fortunately, the boy didn't give up on him.

The two walked home one after the other.

In the yard, Uncle Wu was polishing the two stones he found yesterday, while Xuanxuan squatted over the chicken coop to feed the half-sized chicken that Uncle Wu had given him.

As soon as Xuan Xuan saw Xuan Muzhi's figure, he rushed over, completely unaware of his brother's condition.Xuan Muzhi's body swayed, and the young man grabbed his arm.

"Huh?" Xuanxuan saw a stranger beside him, and hid behind his brother in fear, and then saw the branch in Xuanmuzhi's hand. "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I just fell down on the road and twisted my foot."

"Muzhi, what's the matter?" Uncle Wu also came over, and frowned when he saw Xuan Muzhi's appearance, "I'll help you in first."

"Thank you so much..." Xuan Muzhi walked away by himself, turned his head to thank the other party first, and only halfway through speaking, he heard the sound of the other party's stomach gurgling. "Uh... If you don't mind, please stay and have a meal..."

"it is good!"

Before Xuan Muzhi finished speaking, the other party had already agreed very simply. Xuan Muzhi was a little stunned. Most people would not agree, or would they be polite first?Why does this guy feel relieved?

But Xuan Muzhi felt that it should be his own illusion, and the other party should be a little out of breath from walking on the mountain road.

Smiling apologetically, he asked Xuan Xuan to pour a bowl of water for the boy, and Xuan Muzhi was helped into the house by Uncle Wu.

"What's the matter?" Uncle Wu helped Xuan Muzhi to sit on the kang, touched his feet and heaved a sigh of relief, "It's not serious, I'll press it for you and just have a good night's rest."

"Well, there was a small accident on the road. I was startled and tripped." Xuan Muzhi explained, "It happened that the little brother was passing by and sent me back."

"I see. But that little brother doesn't look like a person from a nearby village. I haven't seen him before." Uncle Wu muttered.There is one more thing he didn't say, this young man looks too good-looking, and his temperament is also very special.It might not be surprising for a boy with this kind of appearance and temperament to appear in the East District and West District, but it would be too strange to appear in a place like the North District.

"It's okay, just stay for a meal." Xuan Muzhi smiled and shook his head.He knew that Uncle Wu had good intentions, but this person should have no malicious intentions, and besides, he is poor now, so what would others think of him.

"Well, you can rest and cook again."

"Well...let's do it now, I'm a little hungry too. I'll sit and it won't affect my feet." Just as Xuan Muzhi wanted to agree, he remembered the boy's stomach rumbling just now, and got up again.

"It's fine, eat early and rest early, at worst I'll deliver groceries to Xi's house for you tomorrow." Although he didn't want to enter the West District again, for the sake of the boy at home, he was willing to move this old bone.

"No need to go tomorrow." Xuan Muzhi shook his head.

"What? Is the Xi family tired of eating these dim sum and dishes?" Uncle Wu frowned.

After these few days of getting along, Uncle Wu and the Xuan brothers are no different from one family.He was not a gregarious person at first, but the little Xuanxuan elf is cute, and this big one also has a very special temperament. It is very comfortable to get along with him, and it is easy to feel close to him. Now he really takes this freshman The younger two children are treated like their nephews.

"It's a long story, let's talk about it later." Xuan Muzhi sighed.Uncle Wu nodded and massaged him a few times, then went down to the ground to try it out, and the twisted place really didn't feel any pain.

After a short rest, Xuan Muzhi was ready to cook.Xuanxuan can help rice without his help, but for cooking, regardless of whether it is Uncle Wu or Xuanxuan, they are very interested in watching from the sidelines, but if they are really asked to do it, they all stand back three feet.In their words, steaming rice and making porridge is still okay, but cooking is still fine. They call it squandering money, which makes Xuan Muzhi dumbfounded.

Everyone didn't enjoy the braised pork yesterday, so Xuan Muzhi bought some more today, about three catties, and made a scrambled egg with June persimmon and stir-fried bean sprouts.

But inadvertently, when he turned his head, he found that the young man who sent him back was looking at the stove, and Xuan Muzhi took out a piece of fish that he bought today, planning to chop it into a puree to make fish ball soup between stews .

When Xuan Xuan ran over to help steam the rice, Xuan Muzhi told him to put some bowls of rice.When the stomach is full of oil and water, it is usually not possible to eat too much food, but when the stomach is vegetarian, the amount of food is very large.

Xuan Muzhi heard from his parents that when they were young, non-staple food was relatively scarce, and a meal required a lot of food.On the contrary, when they all grow up, a family of four can't eat the food for two people at that time.

A large plate of braised pork twice as much as yesterday, and the same large plate of June persimmon scrambled eggs.Because there is no need to deliver food tomorrow, the bean sprouts are also fried on a large plate.There is also the fish ball soup with snow-white balls floating in it, filling the table with rich dishes.

Xuanxuan and Uncle Wu looked at each other, and a thought could not help but pop up in their minds: This is not going to pass!

"Brother, please come and eat." Xuan Muzhi invited.

Xuan Mu's foot was injured and it was difficult for him to walk back and forth, so Xuan Xuan obediently put all four bowls of rice on the table.

The boy quickly washed his hands and sat down at the small table, as fast as he had been sitting at the table before.
