Addiction to the pet

Chapter 9

Ding Ye is a lively and sensible child. He is very popular in the village. He greets people with a smile from time to time. Mr. Lin has no collateral blood relatives in the village, and he does not walk very close to the villagers, keeping a proper distance , so generally no one visits his house except to see a doctor. The old man likes to be quiet, and many people in the village are a little afraid of him. At first glance, the old man is not an ordinary village porter. Even after so many years, he still does not get along with them. He kept a distance, if it wasn't for Ding Ye, he might have been farther away from the villagers, but even so, the relationship wasn't much better.

Tan Xiuxun won't be here for a long time, and Ding Ye knows that Tan Xiuxun doesn't like dealing with miscellaneous people, and he won't make his brother Xun feel uncomfortable. Besides, these people have nothing to do with them. When it came to the point of introducing himself to people close to him, Tan Xiuxun's origins should not be said in the first place, and now that he has recognized himself as his younger brother, I'm afraid that the villagers will be more curious if he mentions it, and Ding Ye has no interest in turning himself and Tan Xiuxun into their talk.

Ding Ye held Tan Xiuxun's hand tightly, and introduced him to the villagers in a low voice. Tan Xiuxun and those old people would nod slightly when they greeted Ding Ye. This person is not an ordinary person at first sight , the momentum is fierce, calm and introverted, just standing there casually like that makes people tremble unconsciously, and finally someone couldn't help asking, "Xiao Si, who is this gentleman?"

The delicate girl, with a soft tone, spoke some weird mandarin, her blushing cheeks revealed the secrets in his heart, she looked at Tan Xiuxun shyly with the boldness of a girl, this person is none other than It is the village flower of the village——Li Cuihua, with light freckles on her face and small eyes with double eyelids.The complexion is fairly fair, and the two braids are black and thick, with the freshness of a girl, and they are indeed pretty. Some people are covering their mouths and laughing, and some are whispering. Ding Ye saw the way she looked at Brother Xun There is still something that I don't understand, so I took a teasing look at Tan Xiuxun, but this person is not worthy of his brother Xun, he was about to speak but was stopped by Tan Xiuxun.

Ding Ye raised his head in confusion, Tan Xiuxun lowered his head and smiled at him comfortingly, turned his head slightly, ignored Li Cuihua in front of him, glanced around and said, "Hello everyone, I am Xiaoye's brother, Tan Xiuxun, Recently disturbed in the village."

Tan Xiuxun's tone was indifferent, and the villagers looked at him in surprise, and someone asked, "Xiao Sigeng, when did you have a brother?"

They didn't dare to ask Tan Xiuxun, but Tan Xiuxun pulled Ding Ye behind him and said coldly, "There will always be one in the future, please worry about it."

The meaning of Tan Xiuxun is very obvious. No matter what time it is, it is someone else's family business, and it is not your turn to take care of it. A group of people are used to exploring other people's privacy, laughing and not talking. Human intuition is sometimes very accurate. After all, Tan Xiuxun is not someone they can provoke, Ding Ye chuckled, dimples looming, "I still want to go up the mountain with brother Xun, so I won't disturb my uncles and aunts."

Everyone nodded, and there was a moment of silence watching the backs of the two talking and laughing together, but after a few seconds, it was like an explosion, following their gaze seemed to be able to pierce people into holes, fortunately, neither of them cared, no surprise Yes, some people's thoughts became lively. Since they said that he would be Ding Ye's brother in the future, he was so young, and he didn't know if he was married. It seemed that his family background should be good...

Ding Yehe talked about Xiuxun's goal of going up the mountain this time. He picked up the shells and picked some small wild dates. The wild dates should come down this season. A large variety of wild dates is sweet and sour, but what they want is not Jujube meat, what Ding Ye needs is the contents of the jujube core and the white silk of the shell. These are precious things, and it is difficult to extract them. They are used as medicine, which is of great benefit to the old man's health. By the way I would like to pick some herbs, but this is not urgent, there are plenty of herbs at home.

Ding Ye was concerned about Tan Xiuxun's body, so his speed slowed down a lot. Tan Xiuxun was helpless but also felt comforted, and carried the basket on his body. Carrying a basket, and finally filling it with things, his body is fine as long as he doesn't exercise too vigorously, but this kid is too careful, he thinks so, but the complacency in his eyes is simply not too obvious.

Ding Yeqiang just let him go. Autumn is the harvest season in the mountains and forests. Ding Ye's eyes are bright. Although the villagers have searched for it, there are some things that the villagers can't find.

"Brother Xun, come here quickly. This pomegranate tree is a good variety. I found it and transplanted it here secretly when I was a child." Ding Ye looked like a child offering treasures, his eyes sparkled, and he begged for praise.

Tan Xiuxun walked over and took a look, heh, the pomegranate trees, which are not too tall, are full of fruits, like red lanterns, some of which have cracked their mouths, looking at them makes people's taste buds move, but he feels that these are not as bright as Ding Ye's smile , he bent down and gnawed on Ding Ye's face, "Baby is so smart!"

The little guy was like a ripe pomegranate immediately. Seeing that Tan Xiu couldn't find it, he kissed back very wisely, "Brother Xun, let's pick some and bring them home. Later, we will go to the field to pick some corn and cook it for you." Drink polenta, it is best to add some yam and wild ginseng, this is the most nourishing."

Although the little guy is small, the housework is almost done at home. He cooks the usual meals, and the craftsmanship is first-class. Recently, he makes medicinal meals for Tan Xiuxun when he has nothing to do. Tan Xiuxun feels distressed and proud After all, the child is still so young, so Dan Ding Ye liked him so much, so he was relieved. However, when Ding Ye was cooking, he always ran to help him, saying that he was helping him. At first, he couldn't even make a fire. It was a lot of teasing, but the two of them came when they were making a fuss. The old man smiled when he saw that they were happy.

The two picked about twenty pomegranates, which weighed about the same as Tan Xiuxun's, but Ding Ye refused to pick them any more. Tan Xiuxun wanted to say something, but Ding Ye stared at him, clearly Tan Xiuxun touched his nose, put his arms around his shoulders, and teased, "Listen to Xiaoye, brother listen to Xiaoye, my baby has the final say."

"It's good to know, huh!" Tan Xiuxun often cried like a baby, and Ding Ye was used to it, and he was still a little arrogant at this moment.

Tan Xiuxun couldn't help laughing, gray top, black trousers, big pannier, dressed up like never before, he never thought that he would have this time before, but he is very satisfied, it's true that the world is impermanent .

There are a lot of cicada husks in the mountains, on the grass leaves, on the branches of trees, everywhere, but it has been a while since autumn, and there are few of these things. Suddenly Ding Ye exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! Good stuff!"

Tan Xiuxun looked at it, and it looked like a large piece of mushrooms, but it didn't look like he usually saw it. Ding Ye squatted down and picked them carefully one by one. Tan Xiuxun wanted to help but his hand was moved aside, "Brother Xun, you Don't move, it's broken!"

Are you disgusted by yourself?Tan Xiuxun rubbed his head, "Brat, is it so expensive?"

"Of course, it usually happens when it's raining. Alas, I've wanted to pick some for Brother Xun's health, but the sky is dry. I didn't expect that there were thirty or forty of them in this litter today. It's terrible." Mix it with black-bone chicken, and add some medicinal materials, such as goji berry, angelica, jujube and honey, which are good for nourishing blood and energy, and it is most suitable for you." Ding Ye rolled his eyes at him, chattering.

He talked for a long time but there was no movement. When he looked up, he saw Tan Xiuxun looking at him seriously, the corners of his lips raised wantonly, his eyes were like the starry night sky, Ding Ye couldn't help laughing, Tan Xiuxun muttered softly, "How can the little guy be so caring."

Ding Ye didn't hear clearly and looked at him suspiciously, but Tan Xiuxun waved his hand, "It's okay, baby, you can continue, I won't bother you."

Ding Ye glanced at him and moved quickly. The big wild dates are easy to find at this time, and besides children like to pick and eat them, adults don't bother with them. They picked a lot in a short while. The mountain is indeed a treasure house , and Ding Ye, a dedicated guide, Tan Xiuxun can be regarded as knowledgeable. There are wild vegetables, yams, and even some of the more precious medicinal materials. I have not gone to the depths of the mountains and forests, and occasionally I can see squirrels. With the sound of birds chirping, Tan Xiuxun felt that this place was really rare, and if it was well developed, it would be a great treasure.

There were quite a lot of surprises today. Ding Ye never expected to catch a rabbit for himself. The gray hare is chubby and weighs at least four or five catties. The hare meat is fresh and chewy. Tan Xiuxun listened Ding Yebalabala planned how to eat best for him, and felt that his whole body was light, which is different for people who have a younger brother.

The two chatted all the way to the mountain pass. Ding Ye was so excited that he couldn't find his way. Looking at Tan Xiuxun's face that suddenly cooled down, he was still a little puzzled. Looking up, the girl in the floral cotton skirt was like a budding flower bud , unconsciously squeezed the cuffs with both hands to relieve his tension.

But Tan Xiuxun's eyes fell on the person in the far corner. The breeze seemed to carry the stench of his body, sloppy face, tangled hair, cloudy and yellow eyes, greedy gaze, longing Seemingly nervous, he moved his footsteps slightly, Tan Xiu pulled Ding Ye behind him without trace, frowning slightly, Ding Ye puffed his mouth, and leaned closer to Tan Xiuxun.

For some reason, in the slightly sultry weather, he got goose bumps all over his body.
