Chapter 5 Beer Bottle

Li Rui was busy at home, so he came to Cheng Ye's house every now and then to sleep for a night.Cheng Ye was very happy about this, and the milk that Grandma Cheng wiped his face before going to bed didn't protest anymore.His eyes are still sharp, and after being scrubbed with milk every day, his little face is much whiter and tenderer, and he wants to pinch it just looking at it.

Li Rui waited for Cheng Ye to finish wiping his face, then took him to brush his teeth.Two toothbrushes of the same color, one big and one small stood there gurgling.

Cheng Ye was very honest when he was sleeping at night. When it was hot, he would show his belly and feet, but when it was cold, he forgot to retract it, and he huddled into a ball and hummed.Li Rui felt that he was sleeping with his arms around a little mouse, which would squeak at night.Later, Li Rui didn't bother to get up to add a quilt to the child. When he heard Cheng Ye's voice, he turned over and hugged him, and continued to sleep in his arms.

Cheng Ye is easy to take care of, as long as he is warm, he can sleep well, and he doesn't dislike Li Rui's body pressing him down at all.

Sometimes, Li Rui would go back to his home to sleep after finishing his homework.But the schoolbag is still at Grandma Cheng's house, and I will pick it up when I get up in the morning and before going to school.Sometimes I got up late and didn't have time to clean up, so I hurriedly rowed in to go to school.Cheng Ye remembered it after seeing him a few times. When Li Rui didn't come at night, he took the initiative to help him pack his schoolbag, and occasionally put some dried apricots, walnuts and the like.

Before the summer vacation on the farm, there is another vacation called Maiqiu vacation.As the name suggests, it is a special two-week holiday for everyone to come back and help harvest the wheat.The farm is a continuous collective field, which is known as a [-]-mu wheat field, and there are many machines used. More than a dozen combine harvesters rush to harvest wheat, and the adults work in shifts day and night.Just like this, I can only gather around for a whole morning, and I can't see anyone from a distance.

Wheat matures in summer, and the weather is scorching hot, but this can't stop people's enthusiasm for harvesting.No matter what they do on the farm, they usually stop spontaneously and consciously when it is time to harvest wheat, and join the army of harvesting wheat.

This is related to their living habits. After all, they rely on this land for food and have deep feelings for the land.

Li Rui and the others were in elementary school, and they couldn't help much, so they helped the adults buy some wine and appetizers - this was a fat job, and most of them could save a few cents to buy popsicles.If you were thicker-skinned, you could not only eat a few slices of pork but also pick up a lot of beer bottles by squatting at the wine table.

This is also a big deal, a beer bottle costs [-] cents, and the old popsicles with sweet-scented osmanthus and white sugar cost only [-] cents at that time!You can buy creamy red bean sorbet here.

Li Rui was thoughtful, so he went to the recycle bin to ask the price of the bottle. He felt that the old man collecting the bottles couldn't be working in the sun for nothing, and there must be some money here.

The people at the recycling station gave the exact answer, a bottle, and they charged it at fifteen cents.The important thing is that people give cash.

Li Rui asked his uncle for a ticket ([-] yuan) from Da Tuan, ran to carry a box of ice cream, and squatted in the threshing floor to exchange wine bottles.He wanted to give it a try and get out a few boxes of ice cream.Feng Chen looked interesting, so he insisted on getting involved.

Li Rui agreed without saying a word.He was being pestered by Cheng Ye at that time, and every time he went out, he hugged the child and would not let go. He reprimanded him, but his heart was soft, and it seemed that he could hardly go on.Having Feng Chen as an extra helper is still very efficient, especially since Feng Chen's home has a big freezer, and Li Rui moved boxes of ice cream to Feng Chen's home after exchanging money.Many people thought that Feng Chen's family opened a canteen and even sent their children here to buy.

Feng Chen was addicted to being the shopkeeper, especially when Li Rui went out to transport wine bottles to buy ice cream, Cheng Ye just stayed at his house obediently.Cheng Ye estimated that Li Rui had educated him before leaving the house. No matter how much Feng Chen pinched his face, he would not move. It really hurt, so he looked at Feng Chen tearfully and called his brother.

Feng Chen's vanity was satisfied, and he generously took out the best creamy red bean ice cream from the freezer and gave it to Cheng Ye, letting him lick it slowly. "Cheng Ye, are you going to school soon?"

Cheng Ye couldn't hold the ice cream that was so cold, he was holding it in a small bowl and chewing it, when he heard him whisper back. "Grandma said, don't go until autumn."

Feng Chen snorted, and leaned over to watch him nibbling the red beans. He watched so carefully that the child was ashamed.Cheng Ye nonchalantly put the small bowl back on the table, bowed her head and dared not eat it.

Feng Chen sighed, rubbed Cheng Ye's head and asked him, "Why aren't you my younger brother? Why don't you stop following Li Rui and follow me?"

Cheng Ye shrank his neck to hide, looked up at the door, and then lowered his head.He missed Brother Rui and wanted to go home.

Feng Chen asked Cheng Ye to sit on his lap out of comparison, even if the child cried, he was not allowed to come down.Taking advantage of Li Rui's absence, he scolded others with a straight face, "Why are you crying? Li Rui's not here, just treat me as Li Rui!"

Cheng Ye cried even harder.

When Li Rui came back, Cheng Ye was tired from crying and was lying on Feng Chen's sofa and fell asleep.Li Rui looked at Cheng Ye's wet and pitiful face with tears still hanging on his eyelashes, and his face turned dark on the spot, "Why are you crying?"

Feng Chen didn't tell the truth, and smiled sloppily, "No, I'll play with him as you usually do. This is because I miss you and want to cry when I see you not coming."

Li Rui didn't believe it, but he liked hearing it, so he decided to settle the score with Feng Chen next time. "This is for today. My mother urged me to go back. I guess I won't be able to come out tonight." Li Rui's mother was not too happy about her son doing this. noble.She would rather her son stay at home these two weeks, write big characters, and read textbooks, rather than go out and earn a few cents like a black loach.

Feng Chen also knew about this, so he patted his chest and assured Li Rui, "Don't worry, leave this to me! Will the wine bottle be sent to your house tonight?"

In the past few days, Li Rui mobilized the children around him to "collect wine bottles for ice cream". In a few days, a thick row of wine bottles was built along the wall of his courtyard.Li Rui thought about it, and tried to discuss with Feng Chen, "How much can your house keep? Why don't the ones delivered in the past few days be stored in your house first."

Feng Chen agreed without even thinking about it, "Okay, let's put it in my backyard! It's all empty!"

Li Rui was relieved, and went over there to wake up Cheng Ye. Seeing the child's eyes turn red when he saw him, the gratitude to Feng Chen in his heart faded a lot.No, Cheng Ye's matter can't just go like this, he will have to find it sooner or later.

Cheng Ye ate red bean ice cream at Feng Chen's house for more than a week at a rate of one every three days.When he was waiting to be taken home by Li Rui, he had allowance money in his pocket for the first time. Li Rui generously gave him a dollar and told him to spend it as he wished. "Pocket money, you know?"

Cheng Ye understood, but habitually stuffed it from his own pocket into Li Rui's pocket, "Brother Rui..."

Li Rui laughed angrily, and slapped the child on the forehead, "Why can't I change it! Why do you give me everything? Take it yourself."

Cheng Ye covered his pocket with one hand and his forehead with the other, looking at Li Rui with tears in his eyes.

Li Rui knew how to act properly, so he stopped him immediately, "Take back your tears! If you dare to cry, you will be hit." The child was put at Feng Chen's place for a few days, and he had learned to fake cry and pretend to be pitiful. This problem must be cured.

Cheng Ye blinked and blinked back his tears as expected, but then he threw himself into Li Rui's arms and called softly his brother. "Brother Rui took me to school."

Tired of hugging him, Li Rui squatted down and asked Cheng Ye to climb on his back.While carrying him home, she talked to him, "Why do you go to school? It's not interesting at all. You just sit there and study all day... By the way, there's also Cheng Yue. Do you want to play with Cheng Yue?"

Cheng Ye lay on Li Rui's back and shook his head vigorously. After holding back for a long time, he complained to Li Rui in a low voice, "He snatched the big shuttlecock grandma made for Cheng Ye..."

Li Rui laughed, the little thing held a grudge.He had also seen the big shuttlecock made of chicken feathers before. Grandma Cheng had bad eyesight and made it very fancy, but the copper coin used to make the shuttlecock pendant was very delicate.Li Rui lifted the child up, walked on with him on his back, and made a wish, "I'll grab it back for you in a few days."

Cheng Ye wrapped a pair of small hands up from behind, and responded with a milky voice, "Okay~!"
