Vicious cannon fodder loves farming

"It's too cold today, it froze you, right?"

After Zeng Nianzhi understood what Zeng Xingzhi meant, the corner of his mouth twitched and he snorted coldly.

"It's not freezing," Zeng Xingzhi touched his clothes, and lifted his boots slightly to let Zeng Nianzhi see more clearly, "It's rabbit fur inside, how could it be frozen?"

Zeng Nianzhi: ...

We walked away, we couldn't talk anymore.

Zeng Nianzhi picked up the bamboo hat and was about to leave, Zeng Xingzhi sat still, but Grandma Yao saw Zeng Nianzhi coming out of the main room in the medicine hut, "Nianzhi, where are you going?"

Zeng Nianzhi didn't really leave, he just wanted to go out to get some air, but was stopped by Grandma Yao, afraid that the elders thought the brothers were arguing, so he hurried over.

With annoyed tone, she told Grandma Yao what Zeng Xingzhi had shown off to her just now, Grandma Yao smiled and asked Zeng Nianzhi to wait, then turned around on crutches and walked to the medicine cabinet, waiting When she turned around, she was holding a thick padded jacket in her hand.

Zeng Nianzhi stood there in a daze, and when Grandma Yao gave him the clothes, he came back to his senses, a little in disbelief, "This is...for me?"

"For you, Xingzhi also has Yan'er. You also have a pair of boots, which were made by your aunt. As for Yan'er and Xingzhi's boots, they made them themselves. Come and try."

Grandma Yao turned around and brought the boots over, urging Zeng Nianzhi to try them on.

"I, I'll try it right away," Zeng Nianzhi hung his head, carrying his clothes and boots, and walked into his room. Before taking two steps, he turned around and walked in front of Grandma Yao. Let Grandma Yao do it. a big gift.

This time he turned and left faster than before.

"This child."

Grandma Yao smiled, returned to her chair and continued to take a nap.

When Yao Yan came back from the bathroom, he saw Zeng Nianzhi wearing a suit of clothes and new boots, talking to Yao's mother and Grandma Yao, while Zeng Xingzhi was teasing Dahei.

"Is he happy?"

Yao Yan walked to Zeng Xingzhi's side and asked in a low voice.

"Happy," Zeng Xingzhi replied, looking at him, "I'm happy too."

Yao Yan nodded.

Seeing this, Zeng Xingzhi said, "I'm more happy than him."

"Ahem, I know, I know," Yao Yan grabbed his hand, "Shall we go outside for a walk?"

"Okay," Zeng Xingzhi went back to his room and put warm gloves on for Yao Yan, and the two went out with Dahei.

In the second and third grades of junior high school, Yao Yan and Zeng Xingzhi went to Grandma Yao’s natal family to pay New Year’s greetings. After returning, they picked some gifts for Uncle Zhang. Uncle Zhang thought that Yao Yan would come, but he did not expect that Zeng Xingzhi would. Come.

"Doctor Zeng, this is?"

Seeing Dr. Zeng go to the side to look at the chicken, Uncle Zhang pulled Yao Yan aside and asked suspiciously.

"Family, family," Yao Yan touched his nose, and then mentioned the matter of dinner, "My grandma invites you to have dinner tonight."

Yao Yan couldn't help laughing at the thought of Uncle Zhang putting a cage of chickens and ducks in the small bamboo forest on New Year's Eve.

"I, I will definitely go there!" Uncle Zhang was very excited and nodded repeatedly.

In the evening, Yao Yan was cooking, Yao's mother was looking at the firewood, Yao's grandma was talking with Zeng Xingzhi's brother by the side of the medicine hut, and Zhang Shu picked that he would come back after dark. To avoid attracting attention, he actually came in the dark.

Fortunately, I am familiar with this section of the road, so even if I walked in the dark, I didn't fall down.

He sat beside Zeng Nianzhi in a somewhat restrained manner. Zeng Nianzhi had learned about the relationship between the guests who came tonight and them from Grandma Yao in advance, so seeing that Uncle Zhang couldn't let go, he quickly brought up the jug to him. Enter Uncle Zhang.

"Uncle Zhang, I am the fifth eldest at home. You can call me Zeng Wu. Come, come, let me toast you."

Zeng Xingzhi also picked up the wine glass in front of him, Yao Yan brought the last dish to the table, Zeng Xingzhi quickly helped put the dish, and then pulled the person to sit next to him.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Zeng Xingzhi held Yao Yan's hand, and Yao Yan glanced at Uncle Zhang, who was finishing talking with Zeng Nianzhi and Grandma Yao, not paying attention, and replied in a low voice, "You don't understand the joy of being a cook. , Cooking for the family, there is no such thing as hard work."

"Next time I'll help you, you can't drive me away." Originally, Zeng Xingzhi was going to show Yao Yan firewood, but both Yao Yan and Yao's mother let him go out, and Yao's mother even robbed him of his job .

"Okay, okay," Yao Yan picked up the chopsticks, "Try this braised chicken quickly, I think it is very good, try it quickly."

Zeng Xingzhi first took a piece for Yao Yan, and then he took a piece for himself. The two ate sweetly. Zeng Nianzhi, who was drinking with him over there, glanced at it and turned his head hastily.

Bah, not rare!

Mother Yao and Uncle Zhang didn't say anything, it was Grandma Yao, Zeng Xingzhi and Yao Yan who talked most of the time.

When it was getting late, Grandma Yao gave Yao's mother a push, "Send it off."

Uncle Zhang didn't drink much, his whole body was red now, and he waved his hands hastily, "No need, I can do it myself."

Yao Yan wanted to make him angry, but he didn't want to either, he had to go back in the same dark as when he came.

In the end, it was Mother Yao who gave him a torch, and Zeng Nianzhi sent him back, so that even if someone saw him, it could be said that Uncle Zhang went to see Dr. Zeng.

"I think my mother's attitude has softened." Yao Yan leaned into Zeng Xingzhi's arms and talked about what happened at night, "Do you think my mother will live with Uncle Zhang in the future, or live in our new house?" Woolen cloth?"

Zeng Xingzhi smiled, "It's all good, the key is that mother has a companion."

"That's right," Yao Yan yawned and hugged Zeng Xingzhi, "It's getting late, let's sleep."

Since that day, Uncle Zhang has come here from time to time, every time at night, and never empty-handed every time.

Yao Yan also learned that he went there early in the morning every day, either to deliver cakes or dry tobacco.

The relationship between the two families is getting closer and closer. Seeing the beginning of spring, Yao's mother and Yao's grandma have also moved back to their new home, and Zeng Nianzhi returned to the town on the eighth day of the eighth day of the lunar new year, and now he has gone out to run darts.

It was necessary to plant crops in the beginning of spring. Yao Yan and Zeng Xingzhi went to help Yao's family plant the land. The villagers were very surprised when they saw it.

But Zeng Xingzhi said indifferently, "I have to learn how to farm, so that I can take care of my fertile fields in the future. I can't always hire people to plant."

And Zeng Xingzhi's farming posture does not seem to be a good one at first glance, and the relationship between the two families is really close, so the villagers did not doubt it, but were very bitter.

On the afternoon of the day when he went to the field, Uncle Zhang came to Yao's house with a hoe on his shoulders, and started working directly beside Yao's mother. Yao's mother blushed and asked him to leave, but Uncle Zhang pretended not to hear.

Now Zeng Xingzhi's work was directly overshadowed by the affairs of Uncle Zhang and Mother Yao.

"This Yao Yan's mother is already at that age, do you still want to find her?"

"Why can't I find it anymore? She has been a widow for 20 years, and she has divided her duties. Now that the child is older, why can't she find it?"

"Hey, do you know that Yao Yan's mother and the Zhang family almost became, but later..."

Many people in the village remember that incident back then. Originally, Mother Yao and Uncle Zhang were a pair that was favored by everyone, but then it was blown away because of the fact that the Yao family recruited a spouse. Now 20 years have passed, and the two can get together again Son, for those old people who watched them grow up, it is a relief.

But the Zhang family didn't think so.

Several brothers came to look for Uncle Zhang.

"Brother, tell the truth," one of the Zhang family brothers looked at Uncle Zhang, "Did the Yao family repair the house with your money?"

This made everyone quiet down.

Uncle Zhang glanced at him, then picked up the ax he had just chopped wood from the ground, and chopped off the opponent's head with one axe!

"Big brother!"

"Brother, what are you doing!"

Zhang Laosi hid quickly, but he was also sweating coldly from fright.

The rest of the brothers couldn't believe that Uncle Zhang would do it.

Uncle Zhang held an axe, sneered, and looked at his brothers, "If she really wanted my money, then I would have been able to marry her in back then, instead of waiting for more than 20 years. You and your daughter-in-law are making up a sentence for her, don't blame me for being a big brother!"

This matter naturally spread.

Yao Yan caught someone who spoke ill of Yao's mother, and started arguing in front of many people, "Do you need to worry about our family's affairs? Why don't you care more about the man who cares about you? I'm afraid you don't know your man. Go with someone from the next village!"

"You, you are talking nonsense!"

"I'm talking nonsense?" Yao Yan put his hands on his hips, looking savage, "I'm not like you, spewing shit out of my mouth, and only deceiving myself and others!"

"What's the noise, what's the noise?"

The village head heard the sound and quickly separated the two.

"She said bad things about my mother and Uncle Zhang, and I caught her right away. She usually doesn't care about her own affairs, but focuses on other people's affairs." Yao Yan stared at the old woman, "You are still my elder. , with an elder like you, I really worry about your descendants!"

The old woman couldn't say it, but she was indeed the one who arranged those things first. After Yao Yan's accusation, she stuttered a little, so she could only find other words, "Village chief, he is working with Dr. Zeng now. , It’s like a dog has found a backer, I’m an elder, he can scold me whenever he says, what’s the matter!”

"You are also worthy of the word elder?"

Yao Yan let out a soft snort, poking his head out from behind the village head.

"You, village chief, look!"

The old woman stomped her feet in anger and shook her body.

Yao Yan rubbed the goosebumps on his hands, "You still flirt with the village chief at this age? Village chief, I really sympathize with you."

The surrounding onlookers let out muffled laughter.

The old woman was very angry, and the village chief was also very scared, and scolded her, "You haven't learned your lesson again? Last month, you arranged the Wang family's arrangement, which made them all angry. You haven't paid enough money, have you?"

An hour later, Yao Yan returned home with a proud face.

Zeng Xingzhi was applying medicine to the patient, Yao Yan washed his hands and went to help.

"Seven days later, bring me here to have a look," Zeng Xingzhi handed the medicine to the couple, then patted the child's head, explaining.

"Thank you, Doctor Zeng."

After seeing off the three of them, Yao Yan returned to Zeng Xingzhi's side, "I'm really strong today, and I won a fight with someone ten years older than my mother."

"Then you must be right," Zeng Xingzhi grabbed him into his arms and hugged him, "Am I right?"

"Half and half," Yao Yan raised his chin, "After all, my eloquence is there."
