Dressed as the uncle of farming culture

"80 taels is a bit expensive," Mrs. Xiao groaned, "Someone in my natal village bought a small yard in the town, and it was only more than 90 taels."

Even a big tile-roofed house in this countryside can't be so expensive.

"Yes," Mrs. Zhang Si nodded, "I think that person is also stupid. He just bought a house, and the land is not his. Why spend so much money?"

"However, if there are people living in front, our area will be more lively.

There were originally three families on this side where they lived, among which the Xiao family and the Zhang family were the closest. The Yu family's house in front was a little below the Xiao family's tea forest. Although it was not too far away, it was farther than the Zhang family.

But if there are people living there, then it is popular.

The ladies are wondering what kind of family the new residents will move in, and whether there will be girls and young people of the right age.

As for Zhang Si and Boss Xiao, they looked worried.

"It's too expensive."

The houses of Zhang Si's family were picked up by borrowing money after the separation. Three of them are thatched houses and one is a stone house.

I can live in it, but the thatched house has been getting worse and worse over the years, so I thought about pushing it away and rebuilding it, it was all money.

Besides, the Xiao family's house, although it is a wooden house, is too old. Although it is not too dilapidated, it is also very old.

When Xiao Shuang gets married in the future, the house will definitely have to be rebuilt.

Thinking of this, the faces of the two old fathers became more and more worried.

Only Xiao Le was drinking water in small sips, without any worries.

The next afternoon, when Mrs. Xiao came back, she said that someone had moved in from the Yu family.

"Looking at it from a distance, there are many things pulled by the carriage, but there are only two people."

Aunt Xiao stretched out two fingers and waved them in front of Boss Xiao and Xiao Le.

Boss Xiao finished planting tea trees in the morning and went to the back mountain to cut firewood in the afternoon. He just came back and washed his face, and sat in the yard to rest.

"Are they husband and wife?"

Xiao Le asked.

"No," Mrs. Xiao shook her head. "It's two men, one tall and one short. The short man can do his job easily, and when he saw someone approaching him, he even invited the villagers into the yard to drink water."

She didn't go in, but Mrs. Zhang Si and Zhang Si did, and they haven't come out yet.

"Two people live in such a big house?"

Boss Xiao groaned, feeling so happy.

The Yu family's house is big and spacious!

"Yes," Mrs. Xiao nodded, "I looked from afar, and that tall young man looks handsome, but his complexion is a little ugly. Look..."

She didn't want to continue talking.

Xiao Le understood immediately, and then said, "Are you sick?"

"Yes," Mrs. Xiao nodded when she saw that he was not angry, but still looked curious, "After entering the yard, she never appeared. It was the short young man who was always moving things, and later the villagers helped to move some. "

Is the new neighbor a sick child?

Xiao Le cheered up immediately, and discussed with his brother and sister-in-law enthusiastically, "Do you think his illness is more serious, or mine?"

Boss Xiao and his wife: ...

What's the comparison.

However, Xiao Le was very interested. Knowing that Zhang Si and his wife were still there, Xiao Le took a small stool and sat at the gate of the courtyard.

When Zhang Si and his wife came back, they immediately asked them to come in for a drink of water.

Xiao Shuang, who had just come back, immediately understood what he meant, and very enthusiastically asked them to come in and sit down.

Anyway, the two children happened to go to their uncle's house today, so Mrs. Zhang Si and Zhang Si went into Xiao's yard to talk.

"The two newly moved people are named Mo."

As soon as Mrs. Zhang Si spoke, Xiao Le's eyes lit up.

"The tall man is the one who decides. Because he is the third child at home, we call him Mo Sanlang. Since Mo Sanlang entered the house, he hasn't come out. It's all because of that Mo Cai."

Because the folks helped move things, Na Mo came out to greet them with a lot of things, and the yard was full of people.

"They came from the north. They said that they came to our place because of Mo Sanlang's health. They said that it was warm and good for the body. When I saw Mo Sanlang, I felt that his face was very pale. Is it right?" how good."

After Miss Zhang finished speaking, she met Xiao Le's curious eyes, and then she remembered that Xiao Le's health was also not good, and when she didn't know what to say, Xiao Le asked.

"Just the two of them?"

"Yes, just the two of them," Mrs. Zhang saw that he didn't pay attention to what she said, and quickly responded, "Seeing that they have a lot of things, and the material of their clothes is also good, they are not peasants."

"He has a carriage and spent so much money to buy a house, so he is definitely not a farmer," Zhang Sidao, "But he wants to buy land! And even the fields before Yu's family must be bought!"

When they were there, the village chief also came over, and Mo Cai asked about those fields in front of everyone, it seemed that he really wanted to live in the village for a long time.

"How much money would that cost?" Xiao Shuang opened his mouth wide.

"I dare not even think about it," Boss Xiao showed a very lemony expression, "It's really rich."

Xiao Le laughed lightly when he heard the words, "Everyone has their own advantages. Although our family is not rich, our family is harmonious and very happy."

These words made the remaining three, Boss Xiao and the others, straighten their backs, with a bit of pride on their faces.

Seeing that Zhang Si and his wife twitched their mouths, they followed suit, "Our family is the same. Although our family is a little poorer, we don't have those troublesome things."

After talking for a while, Zhang Si and his wife left. They wanted to keep them for dinner, but Zhang Si said that there were leftovers at home, and if they didn't eat them at night, they would go bad.

In fact, most of them are excuses.

"I want to make friends with him."

When eating at Xiao's house, Xiao Le's eyes lit up.

Boss Xiao and sister-in-law Xiao looked at each other.

"Second Uncle, you still don't know if they are good people, you can't make friends with strangers so quickly, we have to take our time."

Xiao Shuang said very childishly.

"Yes," Xiao Le was a little embarrassed, "I'm a little anxious, Shuang'er is right."

While talking, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

"Is anyone at home? I'm from the Mo family ahead, come to visit."

Everyone at the dinner table was stunned, and Boss Xiao, as the head of the family, naturally went to open the courtyard door.

There was a young man standing outside the door, he didn't look very tall, but he was quite vigorous.

"My name is Xiao Fugui. This is my wife, this is my younger brother, and this is my son." After Mo Cai was invited into the yard, the other party presented a box of snacks, saying that it was a gift for the neighbors, and that in the future they would always be friends. Neighbors, hope to move around more.

The Xiao family accepted the snacks curiously and politely, and Boss Xiao also introduced his family to him.

Mo Cai is a very shrewd and talkative person, and his words of "sister-in-law and brother-in-law" shorten the distance a lot.

Xiao Le sat at the dining table, holding a soup bowl, and looked at the people in the yard.

He didn't come forward to talk to him, but just looked at Mo Cai curiously.

After Mo Cai left, Mrs. Xiao opened the pastry box, "I really can't see that I made it myself."

Mo Cai said that he made the dim sum himself, with a little care.

"Second uncle eats," Xiao Shuang first took a piece for Xiao Le.

Xiao Le ate in small bites, his eyes lit up, "It's delicious!"

Seeing that he likes it, Mrs. Xiao only gave one piece to the others, and prepared to put away the rest for Xiao Le to eat later.

"Don't let it go," Xiao Le was unwilling, "Let's eat together, it's hot today, and it will go bad in two days."

Seeing his frown, and remembering not to make him unhappy, the husband and wife hurriedly followed suit, so they ate as much food as they wanted, but finished their snacks.

After Xiao Le ate three yuan, he died.

Lying on the bamboo chair, he said to Xiao Shuang, "They are good people."

"Second Uncle," Xiao Shuang said helplessly, "You can't think that the other party is a good person just because he gave you snacks."

"But the dim sum is delicious," Xiao Le was completely bought by the dim sum, and the same thing happened to the Zhang family.

The couple were reluctant to eat more, just tasted it, and kept the rest for the children.

"This brother from the Mo family is really good. Let's help out if there is anything to do in the future."

Mrs. Zhang said.

"Can I still know this?"

Zhang Si naturally understood the meaning of being short-handed and soft-handed.

And Mo Cai, who finished delivering the snacks to the two families here, returned home steadily and quickly.

"My lord, these two families are quite simple and simple."

With vegetables in his right hand and wild fruits in his left, Mo Cai said to the tall young man sitting in the main room.

"I've said it all, call me big brother from now on."

The young man glanced at the things in Mo Cai's hand, and Mo Cai grinned, "This is a return gift from the two families. I will cook right away."

The young man shook his head, "I have no appetite."

After finishing speaking, he got up and went back to the room, coughing from time to time.

Mo Cai frowned when he heard the sound, and soon brought a bowl of medicine to the room.

After breakfast the next day, Xiao Le said that he wanted to go for a walk on the path behind Mo's house.

The meaning is obvious.

Boss Xiao scratched his head, "Why don't we send some things over there, and drop by the door by the way."

"That's right, the green vegetables were a bit dry yesterday," Mrs. Xiao was a little embarrassed, "I'll go find something to order, and you can send them over."

"I'll go," Boss Xiao lifted the basket. He was tall and carrying a small basket, looking a little funny, "Second, let's go."

Xiao Le followed with a smile, and waved to Mrs. Xiao who was behind her in a very good mood.

Aunt Xiao watched the two leave with some trepidation, and only hoped that Mo Sanlang would be easy to get along with.

"Brother, my heart is beating so fast."

Xiao Le, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and turned to face Xiao Lao Dao who was carrying a basket of vegetables.

"Are you nervous?"

Boss Xiao laughed and said, "I'm also nervous, but we are going to deliver food, thank you for the snacks they gave yesterday, their fields haven't been broken, and there may be many deliveries in the future, so don't be nervous."

Xiao Le nodded, turned the corner and saw Mo's courtyard, the two walked to the courtyard door, the courtyard door was half-closed, Boss Xiao was about to knock on the door when he heard footsteps approaching the courtyard door, and then Mo Cai went to the door. Opened the courtyard door.

Looking at the two with a smile on his face, "Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao, come in and sit down."

Xiao Le, who was called brother, was a little shy, and hid in Boss Xiao's side. Boss Xiao handed the basket to Mo Cai, and smiled, "My brother doesn't often visit, so he's a little shy."

Mo Cai, who had searched all over the neighbor's house for a long time, smiled when he heard this, "Come in and have a seat, I just made perilla cake, I just asked you two to taste how it tastes."

As soon as he heard that there were cakes to eat, Xiao Le immediately stretched out his legs and entered the courtyard gate.

Seeing this, Mo Cai smiled again.

The yard is clean and nothing seems to have changed.

Xiao Le'an sat quietly at the edge of the table, eating snacks while listening to Boss Xiao and Mo Cai talking.

There were two cups of tea next to it.

Boss Xiao was too embarrassed to drink it, but Xiao Le took a sip of his snack and two sips of tea, and he was so comfortable that he never coughed.

Seeing that Xiao Le liked it, Boss Xiao found something to talk to Mo Cai, and Mo Cai also got to know a lot of people in the village from him.

"My eldest brother is not in good health, and he doesn't like to meet people. Please don't worry too much."

After talking for a long time, there was a little movement from the side room, and Mo Cai got up while apologizing to the two of them.

Xiao Le held the teacup and looked towards the wing room, while Mo Cai went there with the purple clay pot.

After the door opened, Xiao Le caught a glimpse of a tall and familiar figure.

Xiao Le's neck got longer and longer, Boss Xiao couldn't help pressing his head, "Don't look so straight."

He whispered.

"I watched secretly."

Xiao Le also whispered back.

Saying that, the neck stretched out uncontrollably.

Boss Xiao laughed.

After Mo came back, and after talking for a while, Boss Xiao was ready to take Xiao Le back.

Mo Cai hurriedly wrapped some snacks for them and asked them to take them back to eat. How could Boss Xiao take them again?

Just as Mo was about to ask him to accept it, Xiao Le stretched out his head to look at him and said, "Can I come over to eat tomorrow?"

"Ah... the second child, let's..."

Boss Xiao didn't know how to say these words.

Mo Cai smiled, "How about coming over for tea in the afternoon? I'm going to make some snacks in the afternoon too."

"Can you come in the afternoon?"

Xiao Le was pleasantly surprised, and then looked at Boss Xiao eagerly.

Boss Xiao, whose mind was blanked by Xiao Le, asked dryly, "Will it bother you?"

"No, we brothers like to be lively," Mo Cai still asked Xiao Le and the others to bring back the dim sum, the reason being to give Mrs. Xiao a taste.

After seeing them off, Mo Cai cleared the table, and when he came out of the kitchen after washing his cups and drying his hands, he saw the tall young man came out of the wing room at some point and was standing in the yard.

"Brother," Mo Cai hurried forward, and he was relieved when he saw that his expression was okay.

"What did they eat just now?"

"Perilla Cake," Mo Cai said with a smile, "The two brothers are very interesting, especially the young master."

"I want to eat."

What the young man said next made Mo Cai's eyes widen. You must know that the pastry he made, the young master has never eaten before!

"there is none left?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, the young man frowned a little irritably.

"There are! I'll get them right away."

Mo Cai held back his excitement, and hurried to get the perilla cake, but the young man lost his appetite.

He put down the pastry, walked to the main room, and sat where Xiao Le was sitting just now.

Mo Cai moved his eyeballs, stepped forward and said with a smile, "That young master has a nice voice, and he is also good-looking. It is rare for this village to raise such a person."

The young man didn't speak.

"It's just that I'm in poor health and I don't have many friends. I heard that I seldom go out and don't want to like the pastries I make. I thought that we just moved here and will live for a long time in the future, so I invited him to come and have a sit in the afternoon."

The young man still didn't speak.

Just when Mo Cai thought he was overthinking, the young man ate a piece of dessert, "It's too sweet."

Mo Cai's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "I'll make it lighter in the afternoon."

Mrs. Xiao was eating snacks while listening to Xiao Le talking about the things at Mo's house. Boss Xiao was very happy to see him so energetic, and let him talk without interrupting.

"We still have a knife of bacon at home," Mrs. Xiao said to her husband in a low voice when she waited for Xiao Le to enter the main room to lie down on a bamboo chair, "When you send uncle to Mo's house in the afternoon, take it with you."

"Hey," Boss Xiao nodded after thinking for a while.

They didn't have lunch, so they sent people there, but after another hour, Boss Xiao took Xiao Le out.

"I'm working on the hillside. If you have anything to do, just call me. Forget it. I'll let little brother Mo Cai call me. If you have anything to do, just tell him. Don't be afraid, you know?"

Boss Xiao chattered like an old hen.

Xiao Le's eyes were fixed on the meat in his hand, "Why did you send them the meat? Didn't you deliver the food in the morning?"

"Is the snack delicious?"

"good to eat."

"Besides, I brought so much to us. The snacks are sold in the town, and we can buy a lot of bacon." Although Boss Xiao has never eaten anything good, he also knows that the pastries taste very good, "This is called courtesy. "

"I see," Xiao Le nodded repeatedly.

In a blink of an eye, the Mo family was in sight.

"Then I'll trouble you little brother. If the second child has anything to do, you must tell little brother Mo, you know?"

Boss Xiao told Xiao Le.

"Just call me Mo Cai," Mo Cai said after sending Boss Xiao away, he brought Xiao Le into the main room, put the freshly made snacks in front of him, and brought three cups of tea after a while.

"Green, so pretty."

Xiao Le looked at the dim sum on the plate and praised.

"I can also make pink and yellow dim sum." Knowing that he seldom gets in touch with people and has a pure personality, Mo Cai is willing to talk to him more, "the taste is good, you will come to visit me more often in the future. "

"Can I play with you?"

Xiao Le held the hot snacks with surprise on his face.

"Of course," Mo Cai nodded, "Could it be that you don't want to?"

"Of course I would," Xiao Le nodded again and again, "It's just that I'm not in good health, so I'm afraid I'll scare you."

As he spoke, he coughed again.

Seeing him coughing, Mo Cai's face turned pale, and he hurriedly got up to come over to give him relief, but he didn't want a big hand to take him a step too early.

"Is it better?"

After Xiao Le calmed down, he looked over with red eyes, and happened to meet a young man with the same pale complexion.

"It's better, thank you," Xiao Le paused, and under Mo Cai's surprised eyes, he called, "You must be Mo Cai's brother."

"Yes, just call me Mo Cheng." Mo Cheng sat down, the tea was right in front of him, he picked it up and took a sip, then looked at Xiao Le who was already eating snacks, "How does it taste?"

Xiao Le ate a piece slowly, "It's not very sweet, not as delicious as the morning one."

Mo Cheng heard the words and looked at Mo Cai, "Dim sum, how can it not be sweet?"

Mo Cai: ...that's not what you said this morning.
