Depressed little landlord

When the cock crowed for the first time, Xu Yang opened his eyes and raised his hand to rub the center of his brows. The surrounding area was still pitch black, and his neck was a little itchy from a shallow breath, and the man was still leaning quietly Sleeping soundly, the little Douding inside snorted at this moment, and then Xu Yang heard the sound of the quilt rubbing against him and turning over. The next moment, the body that was already clinging to him must have been squeezed and felt uncomfortable. Leaning on his side, he almost climbed on top of him.

Xu Yang raised the corners of his lips and smiled in the darkness, but froze in the next second, and suddenly reached out to fix the person, preventing him from moving around, and then took a few deep breaths before slowly moving the person away.

He turned over quickly and got out of bed. Fortunately, he had already adapted to the darkness at this time. After standing still by the bed, Xu Yang realized that his back was covered with a thin layer of sweat. It is a time of reluctance and distress.

Reluctantly bent down to pull the quilt for the two brothers, the sun was already very hot during the day, but the temperature was still a bit low at night, probably because of the countryside, but you can also consider changing the quilt, and it will really heat up when you go out. The three of them Sleeping together is probably really uncomfortable.

Shaking his numb left arm, Xu Yang put on his outer shirt in the dark while thinking about going out.

He was already familiar with the furnishings at home, and he wasn't afraid of bumping into anything. He didn't turn on the fire until he went outside and walked straight to the firepit. There was a little yellow light in the main room, but that was enough.

Since the firewood was placed in the fire pit last night, now Xu Yang only needs to light it carefully and start the fire.When the fire started to heat up, Xu Yang moved a larger pot and put it on top, filled it with water, then poured the glutinous rice soaked last night into the cleaned steamer bucket, covered both ends with water melon sacs, and covered it with water. Steam the lid and burn slowly.

As soon as Xu Yang finished, there was a light knock on the door, and he quickly went to take down the latch.

"Brother Xu, why are you so early?" The door was opened slightly, revealing Xiaoju's round face.

"Wake up." Xu Yang stepped aside, "You're up anyway."

"Grandma is up, so I want to make it sooner when I come back." Xiaoju came in and saw that the fire was already on, and even the steamer was already on. She couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, "Brother Xu should wait until I come back to do this."

"It's okay, it's the same for anyone." Xu Yang paused, and said to her, "Then watch the fire, and I'll chop firewood." If the small roots are not burned, it's better to chop some big pieces, after all, they need to be steamed for a while time.

Xiaoju nodded, and handed him the torch: "Bring this, it's still dark outside, Brother Xu, be careful."

"Ah."

Lin Xuan didn't wake up until the sky became clear. There were occasional low-pitched conversations outside, and even the crowing of chickens seemed to be quite far away. It is estimated that the chicken coop had been moved outside long ago.

Lin Xuan rubbed his eyes and carefully let go of Lin Xun's little hand holding his clothes, then got up.

As soon as he got dressed, Xu Yang came in.

Xu Yang stood by the door and asked in a low voice: "Are you up?"

"Yeah." Lin Xuan also answered in a low voice, asking while tying the belt, "Are you all ready?"

"I'm preparing to cook. You just woke up. Wake up Xun'er too. Let's go early, otherwise it will be too late and too hot."

Lin Xuan nodded: "Okay, wait for a while."

As he said that, he turned around and bent over to gently shake Lin Xun: "Xun'er~ It's dawn, the sun is going to burn your ass, it's time to get up~"

Douding frowned, shrunk into the quilt, turned over and continued to sleep.

"... Xun'er, it's time to get up~ The baby ducks are hungry, it's time to feed them." Lin Xuan changed the words this time.

After waiting for two seconds, Xiaodouding moved, then turned back and stretched out his hands to hug, but his eyes still did not open.

Lin Xuan was overjoyed, and hugged him vigorously with both hands under his armpits.

"Are you in a hurry? When you wake up, you have to stand up and put on your clothes." Lin Xuan hugged him for a while, put him on the bed to let him stand upright, and then patted his little buttocks.

Lin Xun twisted his body, opened a gap unwillingly, and leaned towards Lin Xuan as if he had no bones.

Lin Xuan wanted to reach out for his clothes again, and had to grab them well in case he really lost his footing and fell, and was a little flustered all of a sudden.

Momentarily annoyed, Wei Wei slapped Douding's butt with a little force, and scolded with a smile: "Stand up for me, brother will not help you if you do this again."

However, Lin Xun thought it was just playing with him when he slapped him lightly and lightly. Instead of listening, he leaned on him even more, squinting his eyes and giggling.

Lin Xuan was angry and funny, and at last he caught a glimpse of the figure standing by the door from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help saying angrily, "Why don't you come and help me if you have time to watch a play?"

Xu Yang, who had been looking at the two brothers with a smile, came in at this moment, hugged Douding up, pinched him and said, "Little slob, let's go wash your face and mouth." Turn around and leave.

"Hahaha~ good." How could Douding, who was laughing happily, still feel sleepy?

"Hey, clothes."

Lin Xuan took the clothes and shouted from behind. Unexpectedly, the person in front walked into the room with a long leg, leaving behind Lin Xun's happy laughter. Lin Xuan put down the clothes helplessly and went to fold the quilt first.

***

When it was daylight, Lin Xuan led Lin Xun to the front, Xu Yang followed behind with a basket of offerings, and Xiaoju helped Steward Hua to the end, heading towards the hill, and both the front and back were going to visit the grave Villagers occasionally say hello.

Because the Lin family's tomb is new, there are not too many weeds, and there are even some incense sticks left over from before.

Lin Xuan patted Lin Xun and told him to stand by the side. He went to pull out the weeds that had grown up by himself, while Xu Yang went to tidy up the front of the monument and prepare to place sacrifices.

Lin Xun looked around and squatted down to pull weeds like Lin Xuan did. Lin Xuan and the others did not stop him when they saw him.Xiaoju, Xu Yang and the others stood quietly beside them after they had arranged the things, and then watched the two brothers pull out the weeds bit by bit.

Lin Xuan pulled out the last tree and clapped his hands towards Lin Xun: "Okay, Xun'er, come here and let's toast our parents and talk."

Lin Xun squatted there, twitched his nose and nodded, walked over, knelt on the ground with Lin Xuan, lit incense and poured wine into the cup like last time, but this time it was just burning paper money.

"Father and mother, I don't know how safe you are over there. Xun'er is fine. Please rest assured that I will continue to take good care of him. We are all fine too. Don't worry, our life will get better and better. Yes, please trust me, I hope to bless you all in good health, and I will bring Xun'er to see you when I have time."

Lin Xuan said while putting the paper money, turned his head to look at Lin Xun who was quietly putting the paper money beside him, patted his head and said softly: "Xun'er, is there anything you want to say to your parents?"

Lin Xun looked up at him, his little face tensed, but he didn't cry. He turned his head to look at the tombstone, pursed his lips, and said after a long while: "Xun'er will be obedient, parents..." His voice suddenly became choked .

Lin Xuan hurriedly patted his little shoulder to comfort him: "Well, Mom and Dad must have heard what Xun'er said, be good~"

Lin Xun wiped his face with the back of his hand, raised his head and held out his chest: "Xun'er didn't cry."

"Yes, Xun'er is great! Come, kowtow to your parents, and say goodbye to them."

The two brothers bowed devoutly three times with their hands holding the incense, carefully inserting the incense into the soil, and waited for Xu Yanghua's housekeeper, Xiaoju, to offer incense and prostration one by one, before preparing to pack up and go home.

The people who came earlier than them have already started to go down the mountain, and of course some have just started to come up.

Just as Lin Xuan and the others put their things back into the basket, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind them.Because their house is close to the intersection, people often pass by before this place. Lin Xuan and the others didn't pay attention to it at first, but they didn't hear the footsteps and continued walking for a while, so they couldn't help looking back suspiciously.

"Is it you?"

Seeing the people behind him clearly, Lin Xuan was really taken aback, and asked in surprise.

"You child, what day is it today, can we not come?" Lin Er was a little panting, feeling very unhappy in his heart, but his face only showed the kindness of the elders when he saw the younger generation, pretending to be angry, "The place you are looking for is not good. Let us have a hard time looking for it. At that time, we said that it would be fine to bury it in the town, but you are a stubborn child, alas!"

Mrs. Lin beside him saw that the eyes of Lin Xuan and the brothers were red, and she wanted to hug them a few steps forward. Lin Xuan pulled Lin Xun to the side and avoided it.

"Second Uncle and Second Aunt." He called politely with a light smile.

Mrs. Lin was a little embarrassed, but the mountain was full of people at the moment, and because the arrival of their group had already attracted the attention of others, those young or gossipy women were secretly paying attention to this place.

She hurriedly withdrew her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said softly: "Xuan'er, Xun'er, have you suffered a lot these days? It seems that you have lost weight."

"Fortunately."

"I'll go back with my aunt later, why live here..."

"Cough!" Lin Er coughed suddenly, and when everyone looked over, he cleared his throat and said, "Let's not rush to talk about this now, let's meet the eldest brother and sister-in-law first."

After speaking, he pointed to the middle-aged man beside Lin Xuan with a smile and said: "Xuan'er, this is your Uncle Liu, have you forgotten since I haven't seen you in a few years? Say hello to your Uncle Liu." Then he pointed to the man next to the man. Young master, "This is Xuzhou, have you forgotten?"

Lin Xuan seemed to have just noticed those two people, and after sizing up his eyes, he showed an appropriate expression of surprise: "So it's Uncle Liu and Brother Liu, and Xuan was rude just now." Ignoring Liu Xuzhou's accusing gaze over there , bowed his head and said to Lin Xun, "Xun'er, call someone, they are Uncle Liu and Brother Liu."

Lin Xun hugged his thigh, hid behind, looked at Lin Er's family, then at Liu's father and son, then fixed his gaze on Lin Cai, then let out a small "hum" and turned his head away, but the next moment Or turn back and call people one by one.

Liu Xuzhou's father, Liu Wenchuan, looked at the two brothers opposite him with an unpredictable expression. Unlike Liu Xuzhou, he looked a little excited, alternately angry and injured, and wanted to question him several times, but every time his reason reminded him of the current situation. Neither is right.

Lin Xiang'er quietly stood behind the crowd with her head down slightly, like the air that people ignore.

Lin Xuan swept them around, then took Lin Xun to the side for a few steps, and then said calmly, "Second Uncle must have something to say to his parents when he came here, so hurry up. It will be very hot when the sun comes out, we still have to go to work, so we will go back first, excuse me."

After speaking, without waiting for their reaction, they turned around and went down the mountain with Xu Yang.
