Master is not to be provoked

The lunch was very rich. There were roast chicken and duck bought from the provincial capital, pork head meat, beef sauce, brine shrimp, quail eggs, braised fish, pork tenderloin, croquettes, and Kragus sausage advertised by Chen Peisi. Including other kinds of vegetables, there are a total of [-] dishes. In the countryside at this time, they can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year.

During the banquet, the three aunts took turns to pick up vegetables for Ke Muai, filling a bowl full, but Ke Muai is only eight years old now, thin and small, like a weak chicken, no matter how hard he is, there is a limit to what he can eat, and soon I ate until my stomach bulged.

Ke Muai got up to leave the table, and they kept asking him to eat more, but Ke Muai only said that he couldn't eat any more.

He took the suit Ke Yonglan gave him to the kang, and compared it with Zhao Muguo. Although Zhao Muguo was two years older than him, because he was usually too spoiled, he liked to eat snacks and picky eaters, so he was thinner. Similar to Ke Muai, the clothes fit him perfectly, so he said to Zhao Muguo, "Guoguo, can I give you this clothes?"

Zhao Muguo was stunned. Looking at the handsome little clothes, he was very greedy. Among the relatives in this circle, only Ke Xunting and Guo Zhendong from the uncle's family could wear such clothes. Although he and Ke Lingxiao also had a set, they were both in front. The two of them wore the rest, and suddenly there was a new set of clothes in front of them, and their eyes lit up immediately.

Ke Yongju heard it, and said in a very stern tone: "Zhao Muguo, you can't do it, do you want to hear it? Your second aunt gave it to Mumu!"

Zhao Muguo burst into tears immediately after being scolded by her, and shook his head at Ke Muai, not daring to pick up his clothes.

Seeing him cry, Ke Yongju felt distressed again, and hurried over to hug him, coaxing him: "Don't cry, don't cry, mom will buy it for you when I get home."

Ke Muai asked Ke Yonglan: "Second Aunt, this dress already belongs to me, doesn't it?"

"Yes, this dress is for you."

"That's fine." Ke Muai sent the clothes to Zhao Muguo's arms, "Guoguo, I heard that your birthday is the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar. I have been in a lawsuit with my dad for the last month, and I didn't have time to congratulate you You, it just so happened that the second aunt bought this suit for me today, so I will borrow flowers to present Buddha, wishing you a happy birthday, this is my birthday present to you, you have to accept it."

The room suddenly became quiet, and no one thought that he could say such a thing at such a young age. Shouldn't an eight-year-old kid happily change into clothes and show off at this time?What's more, what he said was clear and orderly. Even many adults couldn't say such things, let alone do such things.

Ke Muai tidied up the pastries and malted milk on the lid of the box again, rearranged them in a new shape, and said to his grandfather Ke Guoguang, "I also borrowed flowers to present these things to my grandfather as a tribute to my grandfather."

Ke Guoguang waved his chopsticks and waved his hands: "I don't want it, you can carry it home."

"You can't do it, the same grandson, Brother Xun Ting brought you two roasted chicken heads, and you happily accepted them. I gave you something, why don't you want it. I always thought about it in the past. I honor you, but I don’t have money to buy, now that I have something, I should bring it to you first.” After Ke Muai finished speaking, she rubbed her hands, “Okay, I’ve finished my meal, and I’ve collected my things, so let’s go Let's go back first, eat and drink well." After speaking, regardless of staying, he opened the door and walked out.

Ke Yonglan asked Guo Zhendong to come out to see him off: "Mumu, why are you leaving so soon."

"I still have something to do at home. I'll leave after eating. You can go back quickly and don't send me off."

In the next few days, Guo Zhendong and Wang Senlin came to look for Ke Muai again, but Ke Muai went into the mountains every day, leaving early and returning late, they couldn't find a shadow at all, and bumped into the lock every time they came. Soon, the National Day holiday passed , They all went back to their respective homes.

Ke Muai is like a hardworking squirrel, busy every day, collecting food for the winter, he moved as many species in the mountains into the space as possible, such as mountain red, crabapple fruit, mountain grape, sweet mushroom, mangrove plum, red Plum apricot, peach, hawthorn, cherry, plum, etc., he opened up a hillside in Baihu Mountain, transplanted the small fruit trees, and planted a large mountain area. I believe it will not be long before the mountains are full of wild fruits hanging on the branches. , The state of bowing your head and forehead and opening your mouth to eat.

He also traded a lot of sweet potatoes, peanuts and other crops in the hands of the villagers who harvested in autumn, and planted them on the east slope of Qilin Mountain.

In addition to plants, there are also animals. It took him three days to finally capture seven mallards alive and bring them to Emerald Lake for stocking. He also caught many fish, as well as pheasants, hares, badgers, and raccoon dogs. son.

The space soon became lively, and every time you could see various small animals in the grass nest, Ke Muai asked Qi Zhuang and the others not to prey on these animals for three years, and to wait for them to prey after they increased in number.

He specially picked a valley under Qinglong Mountain, blocked the exit with stones and fences, and kept the sika deer he caught alive. Now that the food is abundant, Ke Muai removed the venison from their diet and kept it for later. sell money.

The so-called autumn rain and a cool, the earth withered all the grass, a piece of golden, most of the people have already harvested the land, but the corn of Ke Muai's family is still throwing in the field.

Ke Yongli wandered around all day long, running around in three or five nearby villages, looking for people to drink and play money, sometimes he didn't go home at night, and he didn't stretch out his hand when he was planting in spring, and his wife was all alone. Busy, he doesn't feel bad now that it's rotting in the field.

Until one time, a poker player suggested to him that he was willing to buy it at 20 yuan per mu, and he agreed without saying a word, taking advantage of his drinking power.

They gave him 200 yuan, and piled two thousand bundles of corn stalks at the gate for him, and then took away all the corn in the ten acres of land.

On this day, Ke Muai came back from the market in the nearby Caoting Town and walked more than 20 kilometers. Po Ladazi stopped at the door.

According to the usual practice, Ke Yongli would not come back drunk until after dark every day, and often even stayed out all night, and now the sun has just begun to set in the west.

Ke Muai walked into the house suspiciously. Besides Ke Yongli, there was a woman and a boy in the room.

The woman was about 30 years old, she was very good-looking, with apricot eyes, hanging eyebrows, and melon-seeded face, she looked like a star in a movie, and she was dressed very purely, with a bright green sweater, khaki pants, and her feet A pair of snow-white sneakers looked like a college student at first glance, sitting side by side with Ke Yongli on the edge of the Kang, holding hands.
