Mo Cheng is working.

He weeded the grass first, and then started a mountain, but one person had already done the work of three people.

"I didn't come by chance."

Xiao Le, who was standing on the path by the side of the mountain with his hands in his hands, wrinkled his fair baby face and said.

When Mo Cheng heard footsteps coming this way, he knew it was him, but he didn't look up, he wanted to know what Xiao Le would do.

I didn't want to stand there for a while, and suddenly said such a sentence.

"How to say?"

Mo Cheng raised his eyes and asked.

"You work here. As your good brother, isn't it a little bad not to help?"

Even though Xiao Le said so, he ran to the field where Mo Cheng put the weeds, hugged a lot of clean grass mats on the rocks, sat down on his buttocks, and looked at him with a smile.

"No, watching the work is also a kind of help."

"That speaks to my heart."

Xiao Le gave Mo Cheng a thumbs up.

He glanced at the bamboo tube not far away, "Tell me if you are thirsty, and I will pass the bamboo tube for you."

"Thank you."

After Mo Cheng said this, he didn't do any work.

Xiao Le came to his senses, hurriedly picked up the bamboo tube, went downhill to the slightly higher ground in front of Mo Cheng, and stretched out his hand to pass it over.

He drank the water and returned the bamboo tube to Xiao Le. Xiao Le jolted back to his original position and sat down, but he didn't put down the bamboo tube in his hand, but held it in his hand.

"You didn't bring dry food?"

"Little sister will send it over later."

Mo Cheng replied while working.

Xiao Le looked at him quietly for a while, then smiled, "Brother Mo Cheng, how did you get the scar on your face?"

The hand holding the pick handle paused, Mo Cheng didn't dare to look at him, and his voice was slightly lowered, "I used to be a bodyguard in a bodyguard bureau, and I was injured when I met bandits."

"Did those bandits get caught later?"

"Caught."

Mo Cheng raised his head, "Is it scary for me like this?"

"I'm not afraid."

In front of him, Xiao Le opened the bamboo tube and drank the water inside.

The handle of the hoe in Mo Cheng's hand almost broke.

Xiao Le didn't leave until the fourth lady Xue came.

After he left, Mo Cheng picked up the bamboo tube, obviously there was no water in it, but he still took a sip.

"Look how happy you are."

Big Sister Xiao turned her clothes to dry, and when she turned her head, she saw Xiao Le entering the yard with a smile.

"This person is in good spirits on happy occasions, eldest sister, you look very good today."

Xiao Le leaned over and looked at it.

Sister Xiao and Second Sister Xiao were so busy with hairpins that they seldom left the yard during this time. Even if some gossip women in the village were talking nonsense, they didn't hear them.

The family will not bring those words back.

So Sister Xiao, who no longer focuses on the child, looks better day by day.

"is it?"

Sister Xiao touched her face and said with a smile, "Your mouth is very sweet."

"Nonsense," Xiao Le snorted softly, "I always only tell the truth."

"Who in our family doesn't like to hear what uncle says?"

Second Aunt Xiao came out holding the quilt to dry, just in time to hear what they said, and laughed too.

In terms of changes, the biggest change in this family is the second sister-in-law Xiao. She has become more stable, and she no longer flinches and is nervous when talking to Xiao Le. Then there is the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She also stepped forward with a smile.

It made Xiao's mother, who only eats soft food, unable to get angry.

"Second sister-in-law is right," Xiao Le raised his chin proudly, "Why do my family like to listen to what I say? That's because I, Xiao Le, love to tell the truth!"

"What big truth?"

Sister Xiao and Second Sister Xiao held hands and looked at him with a smile.

"Just like just now," Xiao Le said to Elder Sister Xiao, "I said that Elder Sister's face is like peach blossoms, and she looks better than many girls in the village. Is that true?"

"Of course you are!" Xiao's mother poked her head out of the kitchen door when she heard what they were talking about, "When your eldest sister was a girl at home, she was the prettiest girl in our village!"

"That's right, that reputation has spread to our village," Second Aunt Xiao nodded repeatedly, approving.

"Oh, what you said made me blush!"

Sister Xiao covered her flushed face, she was so ashamed.

She hadn't heard anyone say that about her for a long time.

In the Chen family, she is a "hen" that doesn't lay eggs.

Every day at dawn, I get up to work, and when it gets dark, I have to pour water to wash Mother Chen's feet, and wait for the other party to finish washing and pour the water before I have time to clean myself.

"Listen, you still don't believe my truth," Xiao Le entered the kitchen, "Mom, I'll help you cook."

"What are you doing? Your eldest sister and your second sister-in-law are ready, and I'm cooking eggs here!"

With that said, Mother Xiao took out four eggs from the stove door.

The egg shells were also marked with special dyed grass. Mother Xiao pointed to one of them, "This is yours. After eating it, I will keep you safe."

"Thank you ma'am."

Xiao Le picked up the roasted egg that belonged to him with a smile, went out and called Sister Xiao and Second Sister Xiao in.

"This is yours," Xiao's mother asked Xiao's second sister-in-law to take the big one next to her, "after eating it, I will keep your husband and wife harmonious and make a fortune."

"Mom, I want to make a fortune too!"

Sister Xiao booed from the sidelines.

It is more and more different from when I was cheated back that day.

"Send it, send it all!" Xiao's mother asked Sister Xiao to take her own roasted eggs, and then read, "After eating, you and your husband and wife will be happy and make a fortune!"

Sister Xiao covered her mouth and smiled lightly, and pulled Second Sister Xiao, who was also smiling, out of the kitchen.

When they came to the yard, Xiao Le had already peeled off the eggs and was eating them.

"Mother doesn't cook eggs, I even forgot that today is fifteen."

There is a folk custom. On the first and fifteenth day of each month, the elders of the family will cook eggs for the children. When giving them, they also say good news. The children who eat the boiled eggs will be happy profitable.

More importantly, resist evil spirits.

"Yeah, I haven't eaten boiled eggs for a long time."

Sister Xiao looked down at the burnt egg in her hand and sighed softly.

"I only got it after I married Brother Tian," Second Sister Xiao's words made Sister Xiao's heart ache, and she took the other's hand.

"Mother is short-tempered. She speaks straight and has soft ears. Sometimes her words don't sound good. Don't worry about it."

"I know……"

The two chatted on the sidelines.

Xiao Le listened quietly, and after finishing the burnt eggs, he ran into the chicken coop by himself. Fortunately, there was one in the chicken coop.

He chuckled and put the egg in his pocket.

Turning around, I also told Xiao's mother that I took an egg and ate it in my stomach.

"Such a grown-up person still eats raw eggs."

Xiao's mother only said this, and didn't mention it again.

There is also a boiled egg in the kitchen room, which is reserved for Brother Xiao.

"Father, mother, I'll go to Brother Mo Cheng to help in the afternoon. He's working alone, so he's too busy."

During lunch, Xiao Le said.

"Go ahead, last time they gave our family so much meat, last time you were drunk, they carried you back."

Father Xiao's words made Xiao Le's face blush.

Sister Xiao chuckled when she saw this, "Father, don't talk about it, didn't you see how the youngest blushed?"

"Are you ashamed now?" Xiao's mother brought him a piece of white flour cake.

"Why am I ashamed?" Xiao Le took the white flour pancakes, gnawing his head down, "I don't even feel ashamed when people carry them."

This made everyone laugh.

Looking at the faces of the whole family, Miss Xiao recalled her days in the Chen family. When her husband was at home, her in-laws were all smiling, but when her husband left, she ate most of her meals in the kitchen.

There is never such an easy time.

The sharp-eyed Second Sister-in-law Xiao saw that she looked wrong, and quickly brought her a piece of white flour pancake, "Elder sister, eat, let's make the hairpin we thought about in the morning and show it to my uncle when we're full."

After hearing this, Sister Xiao couldn't care less about the Chen family's affairs, so she started to eat.

Xiao's mother saw all the actions of Xiao Ersao, and seeing that there were the last two white flour cakes, she took one for Xiao Ersao, and she gave the last one to Xiao's father.

"half each."

Xiao's father tore open the white flour pancakes, and Xiao's mother smiled and ate them.

Although their family is poor, the husband and wife are happy and their children are obedient.

Sister Xiao glanced at the smile on her mother's face, lowered her eyes and continued to eat.

Husband and wife, life should be the same as parents.

In the afternoon when Xiao Le came to Mo Cheng, he saw two more little girls, he made a face at them, the little girls were not afraid, and hid behind Mo Cheng and laughed.

"Call me brother."

Mo Cheng taught his niece to call people.

"Wrong call," Xiao Le rolled his eyes, "I don't want to be your junior."

Mo Cheng laughed, "Then call him Third Uncle."

"Uncle Three."

cried the children.

"Good boy," Xiao Le made them hats out of wild grass, and the girls were so excited when they got the straw hats. The two children were playing by the pile of wild grass, and wanted to make straw hats as beautiful as the one on their heads.

"Give you one?"

Seeing Mo Cheng looking at the children, Xiao Le raised his eyebrows.

Mo Cheng turned his head, "I prefer bamboo hats."

"Then I won't do it."

Xiao Le's words made Mo Cheng's lips curl up, "I'm not in a hurry."

Of course you are not in a hurry, it is not you who did it.

Xiao Le almost rolled his eyes indecently.

Thinking of the burnt eggs in his pocket, Xiao Le walked over and whispered, "I brought you burnt eggs."

Mo Cheng was shocked and stared at him firmly.

What is boiled eggs, Mo Cheng naturally knows, when mother was alive, she often cooked eggs for him and his sister.

"But the children are here, and I only burned one. How about giving them a share?"

As soon as Xiao Le's words fell, a slender and beautiful hand stretched out in front of him, "Bake me the eggs."

"Here," Xiao Le put the boiled egg in his palm, "it's still warm."

The warmth in his hands made Mo Cheng reluctant to let go.

Just when Xiao Le thought he would share the food with the children, he saw Mo Cheng put the eggs... away with a blank expression.

Then go to work as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Le looked at the two children who missed Dandan, then at Mo Cheng who was buried in his work, and suddenly smiled.

The laughter followed the wind into Mo Cheng's ears, and he curled his lips with his head down.

When work was over in the afternoon, Fourth Lady Xue came to pick up the child, and Mo Cheng gave her four copper coins.

"What is this for?"

Fourth Lady Xue was taken aback.

Mo Cheng smiled and said, "Egg money for the child."

Fourth Lady Xue:? ?
