Dressed as the uncle of farming culture
Chapter 215 The Male Supporting Brother-in-law
But this person didn't wait, but waited until someone who came back from visiting relatives in the in-law's village came to gossiping, saying that Xiao Aimin was building a fish pond and that construction had already started.
Liu Yanyan turned blue with anger.
This is determined to raise fish!
This is Xiao Aimin's plan. He dug out the fish pond before the Chinese New Year, and bought small fish fry to raise in the spring. Xiao Le and Mo Cheng both went to help dig the fish pond.
The geographical conditions of this fish pond are really good. Among the fields allocated to the three families, only Xiao Aimin's family has land next to the water source.
And it is relatively flat, but the land is not fertile.
It's really just right for raising fish, and it's not far below their yard.
"When the building is built, I will open the courtyard wall," Xiao Aimin said while resting, pointing to the house on the uphill slope, "the courtyard door will be made into double doors, and during the day someone at home will open the courtyard door wide. You can see the fish pond, and at night the dog is tied to the fish pond.”
Speaking of dogs, Xiao Le asked Erzhu beside him, "Brother Erzhu, did your wolfdog give birth?"
Erzhu’s family has raised dogs for several generations in the village. Even in the most difficult years, the dog followed them. Erzhu’s grandfather brought back a female wolf dog. Since then, the dog Now that they are gone, they keep puppies. From generation to generation, in several villages, Erzhu's wolfdogs are the most authentic.
"It will take more than a month." Er Zhu scratched his head, "This time my stomach is a bit small, I'm afraid it won't work if there are only two. There are two in this town and they will be settled in spring."
"Of course it's the best, and it's okay if you don't," Xiao Aimin said with a smile, "But if you have a dog at home, you should feel at ease."
These words made Xiao Le turn his head to look at Mo Cheng, Mo Cheng caught a glimpse of his little eyes from the corner of his eye, raised his eyebrows and said, "Want to raise?"
He spoke in such a low voice that only the two of them could hear.
"is it okay?"
Xiao Le looked at him eagerly, as if the dog was kept at Mo Cheng's house and belonged to him.
"It's not impossible," Mo Cheng rubbed his chin, "I have a friend in the county. His family has horses and dogs, and he doesn't know if he has any cubs."
"A horse dog? What is a horse dog?"
Xiao country bumpkin Le asked in bewilderment.
"It's a hunting dog," Mo Cheng said.
"Is it a fine dog?"
Erzhu leaned over and asked, "When I was a child, I saw a fine dog brought by Uncle Zoushan, it's amazing!"
"No, we'll see if there are any at that time," Mo Cheng didn't say any more.
The fish ponds of Xiao Aimin's house were just started, so only two square fish ponds were dug out. With just these two fish ponds, five or six of them were busy for a month and a half.
It's almost December.
Xiao Le lazily no longer likes to go out, even Mo Cheng's side is unwilling to go.
Although it's not very far away, but when I have to go out, there is a cold wind when I go out, and I shiver with cold.
Mo Cheng had no choice but to come to see him from time to time, and occasionally bring some food. No, he just came back from the county, and after putting away the rice noodles, he came to Xiao's house.
"Big white rabbit?"
Xiao Le was taken aback, looking at the rabbit candy in his hand with a look of surprise, do you have it now?
"It smells like milk, it's not bad, try it," Mo Cheng bought a big bag, about two catties.
Xiao Le peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed it into his mouth. It was sweet and delicious, and a faint milky fragrance spread in his mouth. He narrowed his eyes happily, "It's delicious."
"I know you like it."
Mo Cheng took out two more boxes of biscuits, "There is fruit pulp in it, similar to sandwich biscuits, but better than that."
Xiao Le accepted it unceremoniously, "Let's have dinner here tonight."
"it is good."
Mo Cheng smiled lightly.
At this moment, Xiao's mother, who walked into the fire room, saw her youngest son, holding a large bag of candy that was not cheap at first glance in his left hand, and two boxes of biscuits in his right hand, his cheeks were bulging, and he was too busy.
"Hey, you spend some money and give him all to eat." Mama Xiao stuffed Mo Cheng with two eggs, "It's just cooked, eat it quickly."
"Eat?"
Mo Cheng asked Xiao Le while peeling.
Xiao Le glanced at the old mother who was staring at him, with a reserved expression, "Forget it, I'll eat biscuits."
After finishing speaking, when Xiao's mother wanted to reprimand him, Xiao Le quickly gave her one, "It's even more delicious than sandwich biscuits, Mom, try it."
"Ouch," Xiao's mother frowned and looked at the biscuit in her hand, "Isn't that more expensive than a sandwich biscuit? How much did it cost?"
"Don't worry, Auntie," Mo Cheng replied while eating eggs, "It's not expensive."
"It's not expensive," Xiao's mother glared at him, "It costs a lot of money to repair the house, and the wasteland is not cheap, and you don't have a warm person by your side. How can you spend so much money? "
"That's right, I don't know how to save money at all," Xiao Le ate a biscuit, puffed up his cheeks and taught Mo Cheng a lesson.
Mo Cheng: ...I really want to snatch what is in his hand.
"You have the nerve to say it! Everything Mo Cheng bought went into your mouth!"
When Mama Xiao was about to give Xiao Le something, Mo Cheng hurriedly took out five yuan from his pocket and handed it over, "This is the money for selling rabbit fur."
Two months of rabbit fur sold for five yuan, which is also very good.
"You take the flowers," Xiao's mother didn't want them, and the things in Xiao Le's hands cost more than five yuan.
"Then I gave it to Xiao Le?"
Seeing that Mo Cheng was about to hand over the money, but the youngest son in the family wanted to take it, Xiao's mother hurriedly snatched it.
Xiao Le laughed harshly like a duck.
There's no way, he doesn't know why, and he just started to change his voice now.
Not only did Mo Cheng eat at Xiao Le's house at night, but he was also left to sleep at night, naturally in the guest room.
It rained heavily the next day, and Mo Cheng was thinking about the chickens at home, so he borrowed an umbrella and went back.
Not long after he left, Aunt Xiao came to visit.
On this rainy day, everyone loves to go to the house of acquaintances, so of course it is not empty-handed, no, Aunt Xiao is holding a half-worn sweater.
Judging by the color, it should be for Xiao Aimin or Xiao Aiguo.
But Mama Xiao just opened her mouth at this time, Xiao Le licked her face and went to ask, but was told that it was a sweater for Mo Cheng.
"Are you embarrassed to want it? How much advantage you have taken from him, of course it is for him."
Xiao's mother feels sorry for Mo Cheng living alone, such a good child, she shouldn't care too much.
Xiao Le was not jealous either, instead he discussed with her what tricks to play on it, and Aunt Xiao looked at the two with a smile.
"Have Xiuying been in the county for more than a month? I don't know if there is any good news."
Xiao's mother also laughed when she heard the words, "It's the best if you have it, don't worry if you don't have it, you're still young."
"Yes," Aunt Xiao nodded repeatedly, and then talked about Liu Yanyan who hadn't come back, "Aimin won't pick her up, let alone let us intervene, and she won't come back either, it looks like this..."
She really didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
In fact, as long as Liu Yanyan lives in peace and order, don't worry about her boss or be jealous of her west family, she also hopes that they will live well.
Xiao Le took a few sweet potatoes, pushed aside the fire and buried them, but didn't say a word.
Listening to them talking about the daughter-in-law of this family and the mother-in-law of that family, just listen to the sweet potato, just after getting it out, Dad Xiao came back after going out to see the fields.
So Xiao Le gave his own to the other party, and there were two remaining mothers and aunt Xiao.
"I'll eat here at noon." It was almost noon, and Aunt Xiao got up to go back, but was asked to stay by Xiao's mother.
"I would like to," Aunt Xiao said with a smile, "but there are still two mouths in the house, I won't go back to cook, they made the kitchen messy, and I will be the one to clean up in the end."
Xiao's mother nodded with concern, "Then you leave the wool and come back after lunch."
"Row."
Aunt Xiao put the little basket at their house and went back.
I eat noodles at noon, made by Xiao Le.
After eating noodles, Xiao Le felt bored, so he put on the cotton coat Xiao Aimin gave him, and went to find Mo Cheng.
Mo Cheng was still at home alone, and he was lying on a bamboo chair with a high stool next to him, and a cup of warm tea was placed on the stool.
"Tsk tsk, what a beautiful day."
The courtyard door was ajar, so Xiao Le came in directly.
He walked into the fire room with a chill in his body.
Mo Cheng opened his eyes in surprise, and looked at the other party squatting by the fire to keep warm, "Don't you want to go out?"
"My mother and uncle have been talking about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. I got sleepy, so I came out."
"I haven't eaten yet."
Mo Cheng folded his hands and glanced at him.
Xiao Le picked up the teacup on the stool, opened the lid and took a sip. Seeing this, Mo Cheng's ears turned red, "This is my teacup."
"Do you have any other teacups at home?"
Xiao Le is straightforward.
"...That's because you have to use mine all the time, isn't it a waste of money to buy another one?"
Mo Cheng was more confident than him, "Yesterday I told my aunt that I don't know how to save money."
"If you beep one more time, I won't go down there."
"...I was wrong, I'm going to light the fire."
Mo Cheng got up and quickly went to the kitchen.
Xiao Le drank a few more sips of tea, and after smearing ink on the edge of the fire for a while, he went to the kitchen for someone to eat.
"Why aren't you ready for lunch so late?"
Looking at Mo Cheng who was eating noodles by the fire with a big bowl, Xiao Le asked with a slight frown.
"I got up late, I ate breakfast late, and it's a bad day, so I don't have much appetite."
"Have an appetite now?"
"Who told you to cook delicious noodles?"
Mo Cheng's praise made Xiao Le smile with satisfaction, and when the other party ate the noodles, packed up the dishes and went back to the fire room, he saw that his bamboo chair had been taken by someone, and in desperation, Mo Cheng sat beside him. on the bench next to it.
"Do you want to bake anything?"
"Potatoes, I don't want to eat sweet potatoes."
Xiao Le turned his head lazily, Mo Cheng couldn't hold back, and rubbed his head hard.
"I don't know what to wash my hair with, my hair is thick and black."
His praise didn't make Xiao Le happy, and he replied, "Natural, thank you."
"Shameless," even though Mo Cheng said so, he still buried several big potatoes in the fire. "There are also spicy noodles from Liu San at home. Sprinkle them on the potato noodles later. It tastes very good."
"You spread it for me, thank you Brother Cheng."
Xiao Le will always act like a baby at the right time.
Although Mo Cheng looked impatient, he still complied.
Xiao Le was satisfied while eating the hot, sticky potatoes, "Have you asked?"
"I asked, his dog is a male dog," Mo Cheng replied with some embarrassment, "I remember the last time I saw his dog, it had a big belly, why did it become a male dog?"
Xiao Le laughed at the other party unceremoniously, and finally said, "Just raise a native dog. The native dog is smart and family-friendly."
"Succeed, there will be more puppies after spring, and we will pick one from here and there."
Mo Cheng gnawed on a potato and said.
Looking at him like this, he was really a bit silly, so Xiao Le patted Mo Cheng on the shoulder, and motioned him to watch him eat potatoes.
"If you're a man, you should eat like this."
With that said, Xiao Le stuffed half a fist-sized potato directly into his mouth.
Her cheeks were bulging out of shape, and now she was thinking of talking, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu."
After staring at Xiao Le for a while with the eyes of a fool, Mo Cheng handed over the teacup, "Silly boy."
Xiao Le, who had finally finished eating, took the teacup tearfully and drank more than half of the tea before recovering.
"I almost threw up!"
Mo Cheng snorted softly, then pulled out a potato bigger than his fist and handed it over, forcing someone to perform, "Do it again."
"I do not!"
Xiao Le turned his head.
"Is it a man? Didn't you say so?"
Mo Cheng stretched out his hand to pinch his chin, making him face himself.
The distance between the two is very close, and with Mo Cheng's posture, it seems very ambiguous.
Xiao Le glanced at Mo Cheng's reddish ears, and suddenly straightened up, and leaned towards Mo Cheng's face, so scared that Mo Cheng let go of his hand, and sat on the bench opposite.
"What do you want to do!"
Mo Cheng's voice was so loud that now not only his ears were red, but his face was also red.
And the hand that pinched Xiao Le's chin just now was also shaken vigorously.
"I'm just tired from lying down and just want to sit up," Xiao Le looked calmly at the flustered Mo Cheng meaningfully, "Brother Cheng, why are you blushing? Are you surprised by my peerless beauty?" ?”
"... Shame on me?"
Mo Cheng became even more fierce.
But the redness on his face finally faded.
Seeing that he was back to normal, Xiao Le lay down again and stretched out his hand, "Peel another one off for me."
Mo Cheng didn't want to move, but thinking of the fright just now, he felt that it seemed a bit special not to answer, so he honestly pulled out a potato, and just after peeling, he heard the man's coquettish voice.
"Remember to sprinkle more spicy noodles."
Mo Cheng: "...you are really a master."
"How dare you be, but if you like, I can also be your uncle."
"Get out of here!"
So Xiao Le, who was full, left mellowly.
On the way, I also met Liu San and Erzhu, and learned that they were going to play cards with Mo Cheng, so Xiao Le followed them back.
Put the charcoal in the brazier, and put the brazier under the table so that your feet don't feel cold.
Xiao Le sat opposite Mo Cheng.
He watched the three of them take out big and small bills and put them in front of him, and then touched his pocket, but all he found were white rabbit candies.
Liu San and Er Zhu unceremoniously grabbed a few and ate them, and Mo Cheng went too far, grabbing the remaining two-thirds.
Seeing this, Xiao Le drew a [-] cents card in front of him, "Brother Cheng, lend me [-] cents."
"Remember to return."
Mo Cheng ate the candy and smiled lightly.
"Just don't count the interest," Xiao Le chuckled. The cards were from Liu San when he went to the provincial capital and saw others having fun. After he learned it, he actually bought more than 20 boxes of cards and came back. He kept two boxes for himself. Xiao Le The family and Mo Cheng's family gave away a box, and the rest were sold to the villagers.
They scored twenty to seventy five.
Xiao Le was the first in the pan, and not only did he repay Mo Cheng's five cents, but he also won three yuan when it was time for dinner.
He was terrified.
Mo Cheng and Liu San lost the most, while Xiao Le and Er Zhu won.
"Will you come to my house for dinner?"
"Forget it, you hurry up and get out."
"Tsk tsk tsk, duplicity," even though Xiao Le said that, he still ran very fast, as if the umbrella in his hand was hanging open, even though he ran fast, the umbrella didn't even shake.
After closing the courtyard door viciously, Mo Cheng returned to the fire room, lay down on the bamboo chair in a weird way, and started a magical...
When Xiao Le returned home, he saw that Uncle Xiao's family was there, and the kitchen was very lively, so Xiao Le simply went to catch a fat rabbit. Anyway, this thing's reproductive ability is too strong, so several families in the village came to buy it. I've seen it a few times, and there still seems to be no shortage in the circle.
He killed the rabbit, so Xiao Aimin invited Third Uncle Xiao's family over for dinner. Thinking that Mo Cheng was alone at home, Xiao's mother also asked him to call him over.
When he heard the knock on the door, Mo Cheng was overjoyed and thought it was Xiao Le who had returned.
But when he walked out of the fire room, he felt that there was something wrong with him. After standing there for a while, Xiao Aimin's voice came from outside the door, and he went to open the door.
When he heard that it wasn't Xiao Le, Mo Cheng touched his heart, always feeling a little disappointed.
But he was invited to have dinner, and he also ate braised rabbits, so he put out the fire in the fire room, closed the courtyard door and followed to Xiao's house.
When the time came, Xiao Le was already roasting rabbits, and a lot of dishes had already been placed on the big round table in the main room.
Two pieces of braised fish and tofu, Mo Cheng scratched his head, approached Xiao Aimin and asked in a low voice, "What day is it today?"
This dish is too rich, and the Xiao family is all gathered together.
"I don't have much time, it's just that I haven't got together for a meal for a long time, and the days are getting better and better, so I have a meal together."
Mo Cheng was relieved by Xiao Aimin's words, and then asked about Xiao Le's birthday.
"He, New Year's Day."
Mo Cheng replied dryly, "I really know how to pick my day."
Xiao Aimin chuckled, "He doesn't like it. The birthday and the New Year are mixed together, and they are all celebrating the New Year. How can I remember his birthday?"
Mo Cheng also laughed when he heard this.
However, he was thinking about what kind of birthday present he should give Xiao Le.
The meal was so comfortable, after the meal they all sat around the fire and talked, Xiao Le and Mo Cheng muttered for a while, and finally Xiao Le gave him a bite.
"Do you know what a surprise is? You have to prepare it for me silently. Is it too deliberate to ask me what I like at the beginning?"
"Then what do you like?"
"money."
Xiao Le had an ordinary face.
"……another."
"...Is there a better gift than money in this world?"
"...It's too vulgar, change it."
"Think for yourself, I don't want to use my brain, thank you Brother Cheng, brother Cheng is the best," Xiao Le pulled his arm and whispered.
Mo Cheng hurriedly withdrew his hand, and swept around guiltily. After seeing that no one was looking at them, he said to Xiao Le solemnly, "Just talk, don't talk about it."
"Do you play cards?"
Before Xiao Le could speak, Xiao Aimin leaned over to ask them.
"The three of us are not enough?"
"Third Uncle is coming too."
Xiao Le looked at Uncle Xiao with bright eyes when he heard this, "This is to be a money-spreading boy!"
"What boy!" Uncle Xiao groaned, "I'm already old, and I'm still a boy."
The little cousin chuckled, "Dad, is the focus on the boy? The focus is on distributing money."
"Tsk, let's see who is spreading the money, Xiao Le, don't lose all the money."
"Third uncle is so confident," Xiao Le hummed twice. The fire room in their house is very big, and there is a special table next to it, just for Chinese New Year, where they can keep warm while the family eats and play at the same time.
So Uncle Xiao and Dad Xiao moved the benches over to watch the fun, while Mama Xiao and the others next to them talked about interesting things that happened in the village while knitting.
Two oil lamps are placed, and with the firelight, it is quite bright.
It was almost early morning when everyone broke up.
Xiao Le lost all the money he won in the afternoon, and even lost two yuan. Uncle Xiao was even more pitiful, and the five yuan was gone.
The winners were Xiao Aimin and Mo Cheng.
"Just sleep here," Dad Xiao refused to let Mo Cheng go, and dragged him to wash his feet.
Uncle Xiao and Uncle Xiao went home with torches.
Now the rain has stopped.
"Sleeping next to me? Warm."
When Mo Cheng washed up and was about to rest, Xiao Le suddenly jumped out and asked.
Mo Cheng stepped back, "I'm very warm by myself."
Xiao Le chuckled, "Then you can go warm."
Bah, in the future, I will give it warmth if I want to be warm, bah bah bah!
Xiao Le, who scolded the dog man, went back to his room to sleep.
And Mo Cheng, who was lying down, breathed a sigh of relief, and slept with Xiao Le, wouldn't it be a fire all night?
Thinking of that feeling, Mo Cheng shuddered, and fell asleep comfortably by himself.
So when he was having breakfast the next day, he found that Mo Cheng was in good spirits, and Xiao Le was grinding his teeth while sleeping soundly.
So Xiao Le took Mo Cheng to find Xiao Aimin to play cards, this time Uncle Xiao joined.
Played cards at Uncle Xiao's house in the morning, and after lunch, took the two of them to Uncle Xiao's house to play cards for an afternoon.
Dizzy and dizzy, Mo Cheng went home and fed the chicken, then was dragged to Liu San's house to play cards.
Mo Cheng, who returned to his home with Xiao Le like a wandering spirit until early in the morning, rubbed the space between his eyebrows while boiling water.
After washing up, Mo Cheng almost closed his eyes and touched the bed.
Who knew that Xiao Le's faint voice could be heard next to him, "Sleeping together?"
Mo Cheng trembled, and finally understood where he had offended this shameless thing.
"Go to sleep, go to sleep."
Don't pull him to play cards.
So Xiao Le shared the bed with someone contentedly.
Didn't do anything, just snuggled up and slept all night.
The next day Xiao Le got up before Mo Cheng, cooked the noodles and then woke someone up.
After eating noodles, both of them felt revived with full blood.
"Playing cards?"
When Mo Cheng was finishing the noodle soup, Xiao Le suddenly said something, choking Mo Cheng to death.
Seeing his embarrassment, Xiao Le slapped the table and laughed.
After that day, Mo Cheng insisted on not looking for Xiao Le for ten days.
Xiao Le didn't look for him either, to see who couldn't hold back.
The result was Mo Cheng.
He looked like passing by, and brought Xiao Le a lot of delicious food.
Xiao Le looked at him with a half-smile, "Yo, rare guest."
Was beaten by Xiao's mother.
Mo Cheng smiled awkwardly, seeing this Xiao's mother hurriedly comforted him, and said something to Xiao Le again.
Xiao Le slurped his food, with an expression that I forgive you since you came to see me.
After it passed, Mo Cheng didn't understand what was wrong with him?Need his forgiveness.
As for why he wanted to find Xiao Le, it must be because he wanted to eat the noodles made by Xiao Le.
This reason is very good.
Mo Cheng gave himself a thumbs up.
After the twelfth lunar month, it became even colder. For Laba, Xiao Le had to go to the town to buy some goji berries and sorghum rice, and the rest were available at home.
As soon as he went out, he was blown straight by the cold wind.
Xiao Le clapped his hands, trotted to borrow a bicycle, then went straight to Mo Cheng's house, and pushed someone who had just woken up onto the bicycle, "Hurry up."
He sat firmly in the back.
Mo Cheng with a dazed expression: "...I haven't thought about Laba."
"I thought, when the time comes, you come over to eat."
Xiao Le patted his shoulder again, "Hurry up, go early and come back early."
Mo Cheng: "...Brother, you are really thick-skinned."
"Brother Cheng taught you well."
Xiao Le said proudly.
Mo Cheng took a deep breath, and replied while pedaling, "Don't learn from the good ones, learn from the bad ones!"
Xiao Le laughed from behind, and Mo Cheng couldn't help laughing when he heard his laughter, "Fool."
When encountering a bumpy place on the road, Xiao Le changed from grabbing his clothes to hugging his waist.
Mo Cheng almost fell off.
However, the people behind seemed to be operating normally, so Mo Cheng could only grit his teeth and move on, and he couldn't let his younger brother see that he had never seen the world.
When they arrived in the town, after Xiao Le finished shopping, he bought another two catties of meat and took Mo Cheng to Sister Xiao's house.
Mo Cheng felt that it was not good for him to be empty-handed, so he bought a bottle of Red Star Baijiu, which had both wine and meat, and directly added food to Sister Xiao and the others for the evening.
"It's such a cold day, you came here by bicycle?"
After a while of pleasantries, the two were surrounded by Sister Xiao's family to talk.
"Yeah, I'm cold and tired." Xiao Le said softly, holding An An in his arms.
Hearing this, Mo Cheng almost wanted to point his nose and scold him, who is blocking the wind in front?Who is pedaling hard?
Shame on me!
After politely rejecting the meal offer from Sister Xiao's family, Xiao Le and Mo Cheng rode their bicycles back home.
Seeing Mo Cheng's black face, Xiao Le suppressed a smile, took the things home, returned the bicycle, grabbed a rabbit, and ran to Mo Cheng's house for lunch.
How delicious the rabbit is, Mo Cheng immediately stopped being angry.
And Xiao Le didn't go back until the day he lived in Laba.
Mo Cheng followed him back.
The Laba Festival of the Xiao family is celebrated separately, so there will be no dinner parties.
Mo Cheng drank the delicious Laba porridge, listened to Xiao's father and Xiao's mother talking about Xiao Aimin's fish pond, and looked at Xiao Le who was eager to put his head into the bowl, and felt very happy.
There is no happier scene than this kind of scene. If Xiao Le, who finished the porridge in a few sips and handed over the bowl, waited eagerly for another bowl, he would be even happier.
Seeing Mo Cheng take the bowl and go to the kitchen to add some porridge to her son, Mother Xiao couldn't help but glared at him, "I don't have any feet?"
"We call it brotherly love," Xiao Le always said so much.
Hearing that, Papa Xiao wanted to give him a blow in the head.
"I don't know if brother and sister-in-law have eaten Laba porridge today," Xiao Le drank the second bowl as he wished.
Mo Cheng also picked up the big bowl that he had drunk half of, and nodded when he heard the words, "I should have drunk it."
Jiang Xiuying is a person who likes to do those things very much, and she will definitely pass this Laba.
At this time, Xiao Weiguo and Jiang Xiuying were indeed drinking Laba porridge, "I've been up all morning, why do I still think it's not as delicious as my mother's?"
Before getting married, that is, last year's Laba, Jiang Xiuying was invited to Xiao's house to drink the Laba porridge made by Xiao's mother. The taste was much better than hers.
"Maybe it's the briquettes we used?"
Xiao Weiguo also felt that something was missing.
"It's a pity that you don't have a vacation today, otherwise we'll go home and drink," Jiang Xiuying said with a look of pity, "I really miss home, why don't I go back today!"
Xiao Weiguo: "...you think so beautifully."
Jiang Xiuying smiled awkwardly, buried her head in the porridge and stopped talking about going home.
In a blink of an eye, it is the 25th of the twelfth lunar month.
The brick factory is on holiday.
Xiao Weiguo and Jiang Xiuying returned home with big and small bags of New Year's goods, "It's still the same as last year, going to work on the eighth day of the lunar new year."
Hearing this, Xiao Le was the first to become happy, "Then I can stay at home for a few days!"
"That's right," Xiao Weiguo looked at Xiao Le, who hadn't seen him for nearly three months and had grown a lot taller, "Young man just grows fast."
Xiao Le was very proud, and compared his height with Xiao Weiguo, "I almost caught up with you."
"Then you have to grow it quickly. If you hear about it, you won't grow it."
Jiang Xiuying chuckled when she heard this, "Don't listen to your brother, we'll still grow when we're 20!"
"I don't believe him," Xiao Le put his hips on his hips, "What do you want for lunch? Burning rabbits?"
What do you have the most at home?The most rabbits!
"Why are there so many rabbits?" When Jiang Xiuying left, the circle was only half of what it is now, and it was now a vast expanse of whiteness.
"This thing grows fast."
Xiao's mother smiled and asked them to go to the fire room to keep warm, "Your father will wait for you at the entrance of the village every day. It happened to be busy today, so you came back."
Hearing this, Xiao Weiguo and his wife felt warm in their hearts, "What are you waiting for, it's so cold."
"It's cold, so it's okay to be idle," Xiao's father had already caught the rabbit and came over, "Should I kill it now?"
"Okay, I'll go peel the potatoes."
Xiao Le rolled up his sleeves and went to work.
Now that the couple are in the fire room, Jiang Xiuying said, "Xiao Le has not only grown taller, but also feels a lot more mature."
"Boy, once you're enlightened, you'll become sensible."
Xiao Weiguo chuckled, glanced at Jiang Xiuying, "Go home and have a look tomorrow?"
"Let's go back in the second day of junior high school. It's not too late." Jiang Xiuying took his hand, leaned over and smiled.
Xiao Le's skill in burning rabbits is unmatched, Xiao Weiguo and Jiang Xiuying can't wait to swallow their tongues.
"Xiao Le, why don't you just open a roasted rabbit restaurant in the county, the business will definitely be good!"
Xiao Weiguo Road.
"I don't want it," Xiao Le clasped Xiao's father's hand stickily, "I want to stay at home with my parents, I have already thought about it, I will grow more vegetables at home, and I will buy a small car when I have money. Wheel, go sell vegetables."
"That's fine." Xiao Weiguo doesn't care what Xiao Le wants to do, as long as he walks the right path, he can do anything. "When the time comes, he will become a big vegetable seller, so don't pretend not to know me when you meet me on the road."
"Who am I?"
Xiao Le just pointed at Xiao Weiguo.
The second day after they came back, Xiao Aiguo also came back with big bags and small bags.
He was just over a year older than Xiao Le, but a head taller than Xiao Le, and he didn't know how dark it was.
Xiao Le took his hand to compare with himself, "...are you going to country F to dig coal?"
Xiao Aiguo snorted lightly, "What nonsense, I am the sign of a mature man!"
Xiao Le sneered just like him, "Ouch, ouch, it's great, yo."
Full of jealousy is added to the yin and yang strangeness.
Xiao Aiguo covered his ears and looked at him childishly, "By the way, what's going on at home?"
When he came back, he was still very uncomfortable, thinking that his second uncle's house had built a big house, so he might as well just stay at his second uncle's house this year, but he didn't see Liu Yanyan when he got home.
As for the second uncle's house repairs, it was his brother who went to visit him when he went to the provincial capital to buy goods, and told him when he talked about the family affairs.
"I don't know either," Xiao Le said vaguely, "Anyway, brother Aimin wanted to divorce, and she was at her mother's house around November and hasn't come back yet."
Xiao Aiguo's eyes lit up, "Then leave!"
To tell the truth, when Liu Yanyan plotted against Xiao Weiguo, Xiao Aiguo felt something was wrong and disliked him very much. Finally, Xiao Weiguo got divorced, and he hadn't had time to be happy yet.
Good guy, married into his family!
Xiao Aiguo only felt that his elder brother had mental problems, and his family would not listen to any persuasion, and he was not willing to stay at home, so he went out with a few good people in the village to find work.
Although he was tired outside and homesick, but when he thought of Liu Yanyan at home, he didn't feel tired and homesick.
"It looks like it's coming soon, but she can hold her breath. Brother Aimin hasn't passed by for so long, and she hasn't come back."
Xiao Le expressed admiration.
Seeing this, Xiao Aiguo looked at him with disgust, "Why are you so stupid? Can she stay at home in peace? She must have run away early!"
"Hey, I wanted to burn rabbits for some people, but some people don't seem to want to eat rabbits."
When Xiao Aiguo came to his second uncle's house, he heard Xiao Weiguo say that the rabbits cooked by Xiao Le were so delicious. Now that he heard this, he was naturally subdued. After eating the rabbits made by Xiao Le, he came to Xiao Le every other day. Home, pestering each other to cook.
The rabbit is so delicious, what else can be worse?
Sure enough, Xiao Aiguo believed in this even more after Xiao Le was worn out and made him a bowl of noodles.
Anyway, Liu Yanyan will not come back this year, so Xiao Aiguo suggested to his family that this year's New Year's Eve dinner will be eaten at Xiao Le's house.
"It's been more than two years since we celebrated the New Year together. Let's have the New Year's Eve dinner at the second uncle's house this year."
Xiao Aiguo looked at his parents and brother anxiously.
Xiao Aimin glanced at him with a smile, "Second Uncle came to tell me a few days ago, and Third Uncle's family also came over, this year the family will have a good New Year."
"Then you and that person's business should be done earlier, so don't make any mistakes."
Xiao Aiguo urged to strike while the iron was hot.
Uncle Xiao also looked over. In the past few months, they didn't ask, Xiao Aimin didn't mention the other party, and the other party seemed to have disappeared and didn't come back.
"I went to look for it. The Liu family said that in December, she went to the coast with a few people from their village."
Xiao Aimin's words surprised the family.
"Going to the coast? When will you be back?"
"Yeah, are you guys going to leave or not? There's always something to talk about, so don't delay."
The boss is not too young, even if divorced, it will take a year or two to find a suitable one.
If you keep procrastinating like this, you will become a bachelor just like Mo Cheng.
Aunt Xiao's eyes were red with anxiety.
"Don't worry, if she finds a better one, she will rush back and divorce me without needing to mention it."
Xiao Aimin laughed mockingly.
Seeing that Xiao Aiguo and others were not happy, Xiao Aiguo took Xiao Aimin to find Xiao Le, and it happened that Mo Cheng was there, so he started playing cards again.
Xiao Weiguo also watched his colleagues play in the factory, but he didn't like this entertainment very much, and even when Xiao Le and the others were playing, he told them to have a little fun and not indulge in it.
Xiao Le nodded softly, "Don't worry brother, we know how to measure."
After Xiao Le's revenge last time, Mo Cheng was in a shadow, he didn't really want to fight.
Kang Soo-young, who saw his resistance, took his place.
Then kill the Quartet.
Xiao Aiguo was so anxious that he pulled Mo Cheng, who was watching the fun, over to be his staff officer. Even so, he lost a lot.
Jiang Xiuying's card luck is really good.
Xiao Aimin was also jealous, he couldn't even think of a divorce, he just wanted to win back the money he lost!
On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, it is the collection of brooms.
This means that on the last market day of the year, the house is cleaned, the new year’s goods are bought, and the new year begins on the next market day.
The family's New Year's goods are enough, but Mo Cheng's family doesn't have any, Xiao Aimin and the others are almost there, and Aunt Xiao and the others are going too.
So Xiao Le joined in the fun and walked to the market with everyone.
On the way, Xiao Le was like ADHD, either pulling the branches here to shake off the snow to scare them, or walking behind Mo Cheng and suddenly hitting his back basket.
Mo Cheng had a severe headache, so he simply grabbed his wrist, "Go obediently."
No one thought it was wrong for him to do this, but felt that he had controlled Xiao Le,
Liu Yanyan turned blue with anger.
This is determined to raise fish!
This is Xiao Aimin's plan. He dug out the fish pond before the Chinese New Year, and bought small fish fry to raise in the spring. Xiao Le and Mo Cheng both went to help dig the fish pond.
The geographical conditions of this fish pond are really good. Among the fields allocated to the three families, only Xiao Aimin's family has land next to the water source.
And it is relatively flat, but the land is not fertile.
It's really just right for raising fish, and it's not far below their yard.
"When the building is built, I will open the courtyard wall," Xiao Aimin said while resting, pointing to the house on the uphill slope, "the courtyard door will be made into double doors, and during the day someone at home will open the courtyard door wide. You can see the fish pond, and at night the dog is tied to the fish pond.”
Speaking of dogs, Xiao Le asked Erzhu beside him, "Brother Erzhu, did your wolfdog give birth?"
Erzhu’s family has raised dogs for several generations in the village. Even in the most difficult years, the dog followed them. Erzhu’s grandfather brought back a female wolf dog. Since then, the dog Now that they are gone, they keep puppies. From generation to generation, in several villages, Erzhu's wolfdogs are the most authentic.
"It will take more than a month." Er Zhu scratched his head, "This time my stomach is a bit small, I'm afraid it won't work if there are only two. There are two in this town and they will be settled in spring."
"Of course it's the best, and it's okay if you don't," Xiao Aimin said with a smile, "But if you have a dog at home, you should feel at ease."
These words made Xiao Le turn his head to look at Mo Cheng, Mo Cheng caught a glimpse of his little eyes from the corner of his eye, raised his eyebrows and said, "Want to raise?"
He spoke in such a low voice that only the two of them could hear.
"is it okay?"
Xiao Le looked at him eagerly, as if the dog was kept at Mo Cheng's house and belonged to him.
"It's not impossible," Mo Cheng rubbed his chin, "I have a friend in the county. His family has horses and dogs, and he doesn't know if he has any cubs."
"A horse dog? What is a horse dog?"
Xiao country bumpkin Le asked in bewilderment.
"It's a hunting dog," Mo Cheng said.
"Is it a fine dog?"
Erzhu leaned over and asked, "When I was a child, I saw a fine dog brought by Uncle Zoushan, it's amazing!"
"No, we'll see if there are any at that time," Mo Cheng didn't say any more.
The fish ponds of Xiao Aimin's house were just started, so only two square fish ponds were dug out. With just these two fish ponds, five or six of them were busy for a month and a half.
It's almost December.
Xiao Le lazily no longer likes to go out, even Mo Cheng's side is unwilling to go.
Although it's not very far away, but when I have to go out, there is a cold wind when I go out, and I shiver with cold.
Mo Cheng had no choice but to come to see him from time to time, and occasionally bring some food. No, he just came back from the county, and after putting away the rice noodles, he came to Xiao's house.
"Big white rabbit?"
Xiao Le was taken aback, looking at the rabbit candy in his hand with a look of surprise, do you have it now?
"It smells like milk, it's not bad, try it," Mo Cheng bought a big bag, about two catties.
Xiao Le peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed it into his mouth. It was sweet and delicious, and a faint milky fragrance spread in his mouth. He narrowed his eyes happily, "It's delicious."
"I know you like it."
Mo Cheng took out two more boxes of biscuits, "There is fruit pulp in it, similar to sandwich biscuits, but better than that."
Xiao Le accepted it unceremoniously, "Let's have dinner here tonight."
"it is good."
Mo Cheng smiled lightly.
At this moment, Xiao's mother, who walked into the fire room, saw her youngest son, holding a large bag of candy that was not cheap at first glance in his left hand, and two boxes of biscuits in his right hand, his cheeks were bulging, and he was too busy.
"Hey, you spend some money and give him all to eat." Mama Xiao stuffed Mo Cheng with two eggs, "It's just cooked, eat it quickly."
"Eat?"
Mo Cheng asked Xiao Le while peeling.
Xiao Le glanced at the old mother who was staring at him, with a reserved expression, "Forget it, I'll eat biscuits."
After finishing speaking, when Xiao's mother wanted to reprimand him, Xiao Le quickly gave her one, "It's even more delicious than sandwich biscuits, Mom, try it."
"Ouch," Xiao's mother frowned and looked at the biscuit in her hand, "Isn't that more expensive than a sandwich biscuit? How much did it cost?"
"Don't worry, Auntie," Mo Cheng replied while eating eggs, "It's not expensive."
"It's not expensive," Xiao's mother glared at him, "It costs a lot of money to repair the house, and the wasteland is not cheap, and you don't have a warm person by your side. How can you spend so much money? "
"That's right, I don't know how to save money at all," Xiao Le ate a biscuit, puffed up his cheeks and taught Mo Cheng a lesson.
Mo Cheng: ...I really want to snatch what is in his hand.
"You have the nerve to say it! Everything Mo Cheng bought went into your mouth!"
When Mama Xiao was about to give Xiao Le something, Mo Cheng hurriedly took out five yuan from his pocket and handed it over, "This is the money for selling rabbit fur."
Two months of rabbit fur sold for five yuan, which is also very good.
"You take the flowers," Xiao's mother didn't want them, and the things in Xiao Le's hands cost more than five yuan.
"Then I gave it to Xiao Le?"
Seeing that Mo Cheng was about to hand over the money, but the youngest son in the family wanted to take it, Xiao's mother hurriedly snatched it.
Xiao Le laughed harshly like a duck.
There's no way, he doesn't know why, and he just started to change his voice now.
Not only did Mo Cheng eat at Xiao Le's house at night, but he was also left to sleep at night, naturally in the guest room.
It rained heavily the next day, and Mo Cheng was thinking about the chickens at home, so he borrowed an umbrella and went back.
Not long after he left, Aunt Xiao came to visit.
On this rainy day, everyone loves to go to the house of acquaintances, so of course it is not empty-handed, no, Aunt Xiao is holding a half-worn sweater.
Judging by the color, it should be for Xiao Aimin or Xiao Aiguo.
But Mama Xiao just opened her mouth at this time, Xiao Le licked her face and went to ask, but was told that it was a sweater for Mo Cheng.
"Are you embarrassed to want it? How much advantage you have taken from him, of course it is for him."
Xiao's mother feels sorry for Mo Cheng living alone, such a good child, she shouldn't care too much.
Xiao Le was not jealous either, instead he discussed with her what tricks to play on it, and Aunt Xiao looked at the two with a smile.
"Have Xiuying been in the county for more than a month? I don't know if there is any good news."
Xiao's mother also laughed when she heard the words, "It's the best if you have it, don't worry if you don't have it, you're still young."
"Yes," Aunt Xiao nodded repeatedly, and then talked about Liu Yanyan who hadn't come back, "Aimin won't pick her up, let alone let us intervene, and she won't come back either, it looks like this..."
She really didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
In fact, as long as Liu Yanyan lives in peace and order, don't worry about her boss or be jealous of her west family, she also hopes that they will live well.
Xiao Le took a few sweet potatoes, pushed aside the fire and buried them, but didn't say a word.
Listening to them talking about the daughter-in-law of this family and the mother-in-law of that family, just listen to the sweet potato, just after getting it out, Dad Xiao came back after going out to see the fields.
So Xiao Le gave his own to the other party, and there were two remaining mothers and aunt Xiao.
"I'll eat here at noon." It was almost noon, and Aunt Xiao got up to go back, but was asked to stay by Xiao's mother.
"I would like to," Aunt Xiao said with a smile, "but there are still two mouths in the house, I won't go back to cook, they made the kitchen messy, and I will be the one to clean up in the end."
Xiao's mother nodded with concern, "Then you leave the wool and come back after lunch."
"Row."
Aunt Xiao put the little basket at their house and went back.
I eat noodles at noon, made by Xiao Le.
After eating noodles, Xiao Le felt bored, so he put on the cotton coat Xiao Aimin gave him, and went to find Mo Cheng.
Mo Cheng was still at home alone, and he was lying on a bamboo chair with a high stool next to him, and a cup of warm tea was placed on the stool.
"Tsk tsk, what a beautiful day."
The courtyard door was ajar, so Xiao Le came in directly.
He walked into the fire room with a chill in his body.
Mo Cheng opened his eyes in surprise, and looked at the other party squatting by the fire to keep warm, "Don't you want to go out?"
"My mother and uncle have been talking about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. I got sleepy, so I came out."
"I haven't eaten yet."
Mo Cheng folded his hands and glanced at him.
Xiao Le picked up the teacup on the stool, opened the lid and took a sip. Seeing this, Mo Cheng's ears turned red, "This is my teacup."
"Do you have any other teacups at home?"
Xiao Le is straightforward.
"...That's because you have to use mine all the time, isn't it a waste of money to buy another one?"
Mo Cheng was more confident than him, "Yesterday I told my aunt that I don't know how to save money."
"If you beep one more time, I won't go down there."
"...I was wrong, I'm going to light the fire."
Mo Cheng got up and quickly went to the kitchen.
Xiao Le drank a few more sips of tea, and after smearing ink on the edge of the fire for a while, he went to the kitchen for someone to eat.
"Why aren't you ready for lunch so late?"
Looking at Mo Cheng who was eating noodles by the fire with a big bowl, Xiao Le asked with a slight frown.
"I got up late, I ate breakfast late, and it's a bad day, so I don't have much appetite."
"Have an appetite now?"
"Who told you to cook delicious noodles?"
Mo Cheng's praise made Xiao Le smile with satisfaction, and when the other party ate the noodles, packed up the dishes and went back to the fire room, he saw that his bamboo chair had been taken by someone, and in desperation, Mo Cheng sat beside him. on the bench next to it.
"Do you want to bake anything?"
"Potatoes, I don't want to eat sweet potatoes."
Xiao Le turned his head lazily, Mo Cheng couldn't hold back, and rubbed his head hard.
"I don't know what to wash my hair with, my hair is thick and black."
His praise didn't make Xiao Le happy, and he replied, "Natural, thank you."
"Shameless," even though Mo Cheng said so, he still buried several big potatoes in the fire. "There are also spicy noodles from Liu San at home. Sprinkle them on the potato noodles later. It tastes very good."
"You spread it for me, thank you Brother Cheng."
Xiao Le will always act like a baby at the right time.
Although Mo Cheng looked impatient, he still complied.
Xiao Le was satisfied while eating the hot, sticky potatoes, "Have you asked?"
"I asked, his dog is a male dog," Mo Cheng replied with some embarrassment, "I remember the last time I saw his dog, it had a big belly, why did it become a male dog?"
Xiao Le laughed at the other party unceremoniously, and finally said, "Just raise a native dog. The native dog is smart and family-friendly."
"Succeed, there will be more puppies after spring, and we will pick one from here and there."
Mo Cheng gnawed on a potato and said.
Looking at him like this, he was really a bit silly, so Xiao Le patted Mo Cheng on the shoulder, and motioned him to watch him eat potatoes.
"If you're a man, you should eat like this."
With that said, Xiao Le stuffed half a fist-sized potato directly into his mouth.
Her cheeks were bulging out of shape, and now she was thinking of talking, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu."
After staring at Xiao Le for a while with the eyes of a fool, Mo Cheng handed over the teacup, "Silly boy."
Xiao Le, who had finally finished eating, took the teacup tearfully and drank more than half of the tea before recovering.
"I almost threw up!"
Mo Cheng snorted softly, then pulled out a potato bigger than his fist and handed it over, forcing someone to perform, "Do it again."
"I do not!"
Xiao Le turned his head.
"Is it a man? Didn't you say so?"
Mo Cheng stretched out his hand to pinch his chin, making him face himself.
The distance between the two is very close, and with Mo Cheng's posture, it seems very ambiguous.
Xiao Le glanced at Mo Cheng's reddish ears, and suddenly straightened up, and leaned towards Mo Cheng's face, so scared that Mo Cheng let go of his hand, and sat on the bench opposite.
"What do you want to do!"
Mo Cheng's voice was so loud that now not only his ears were red, but his face was also red.
And the hand that pinched Xiao Le's chin just now was also shaken vigorously.
"I'm just tired from lying down and just want to sit up," Xiao Le looked calmly at the flustered Mo Cheng meaningfully, "Brother Cheng, why are you blushing? Are you surprised by my peerless beauty?" ?”
"... Shame on me?"
Mo Cheng became even more fierce.
But the redness on his face finally faded.
Seeing that he was back to normal, Xiao Le lay down again and stretched out his hand, "Peel another one off for me."
Mo Cheng didn't want to move, but thinking of the fright just now, he felt that it seemed a bit special not to answer, so he honestly pulled out a potato, and just after peeling, he heard the man's coquettish voice.
"Remember to sprinkle more spicy noodles."
Mo Cheng: "...you are really a master."
"How dare you be, but if you like, I can also be your uncle."
"Get out of here!"
So Xiao Le, who was full, left mellowly.
On the way, I also met Liu San and Erzhu, and learned that they were going to play cards with Mo Cheng, so Xiao Le followed them back.
Put the charcoal in the brazier, and put the brazier under the table so that your feet don't feel cold.
Xiao Le sat opposite Mo Cheng.
He watched the three of them take out big and small bills and put them in front of him, and then touched his pocket, but all he found were white rabbit candies.
Liu San and Er Zhu unceremoniously grabbed a few and ate them, and Mo Cheng went too far, grabbing the remaining two-thirds.
Seeing this, Xiao Le drew a [-] cents card in front of him, "Brother Cheng, lend me [-] cents."
"Remember to return."
Mo Cheng ate the candy and smiled lightly.
"Just don't count the interest," Xiao Le chuckled. The cards were from Liu San when he went to the provincial capital and saw others having fun. After he learned it, he actually bought more than 20 boxes of cards and came back. He kept two boxes for himself. Xiao Le The family and Mo Cheng's family gave away a box, and the rest were sold to the villagers.
They scored twenty to seventy five.
Xiao Le was the first in the pan, and not only did he repay Mo Cheng's five cents, but he also won three yuan when it was time for dinner.
He was terrified.
Mo Cheng and Liu San lost the most, while Xiao Le and Er Zhu won.
"Will you come to my house for dinner?"
"Forget it, you hurry up and get out."
"Tsk tsk tsk, duplicity," even though Xiao Le said that, he still ran very fast, as if the umbrella in his hand was hanging open, even though he ran fast, the umbrella didn't even shake.
After closing the courtyard door viciously, Mo Cheng returned to the fire room, lay down on the bamboo chair in a weird way, and started a magical...
When Xiao Le returned home, he saw that Uncle Xiao's family was there, and the kitchen was very lively, so Xiao Le simply went to catch a fat rabbit. Anyway, this thing's reproductive ability is too strong, so several families in the village came to buy it. I've seen it a few times, and there still seems to be no shortage in the circle.
He killed the rabbit, so Xiao Aimin invited Third Uncle Xiao's family over for dinner. Thinking that Mo Cheng was alone at home, Xiao's mother also asked him to call him over.
When he heard the knock on the door, Mo Cheng was overjoyed and thought it was Xiao Le who had returned.
But when he walked out of the fire room, he felt that there was something wrong with him. After standing there for a while, Xiao Aimin's voice came from outside the door, and he went to open the door.
When he heard that it wasn't Xiao Le, Mo Cheng touched his heart, always feeling a little disappointed.
But he was invited to have dinner, and he also ate braised rabbits, so he put out the fire in the fire room, closed the courtyard door and followed to Xiao's house.
When the time came, Xiao Le was already roasting rabbits, and a lot of dishes had already been placed on the big round table in the main room.
Two pieces of braised fish and tofu, Mo Cheng scratched his head, approached Xiao Aimin and asked in a low voice, "What day is it today?"
This dish is too rich, and the Xiao family is all gathered together.
"I don't have much time, it's just that I haven't got together for a meal for a long time, and the days are getting better and better, so I have a meal together."
Mo Cheng was relieved by Xiao Aimin's words, and then asked about Xiao Le's birthday.
"He, New Year's Day."
Mo Cheng replied dryly, "I really know how to pick my day."
Xiao Aimin chuckled, "He doesn't like it. The birthday and the New Year are mixed together, and they are all celebrating the New Year. How can I remember his birthday?"
Mo Cheng also laughed when he heard this.
However, he was thinking about what kind of birthday present he should give Xiao Le.
The meal was so comfortable, after the meal they all sat around the fire and talked, Xiao Le and Mo Cheng muttered for a while, and finally Xiao Le gave him a bite.
"Do you know what a surprise is? You have to prepare it for me silently. Is it too deliberate to ask me what I like at the beginning?"
"Then what do you like?"
"money."
Xiao Le had an ordinary face.
"……another."
"...Is there a better gift than money in this world?"
"...It's too vulgar, change it."
"Think for yourself, I don't want to use my brain, thank you Brother Cheng, brother Cheng is the best," Xiao Le pulled his arm and whispered.
Mo Cheng hurriedly withdrew his hand, and swept around guiltily. After seeing that no one was looking at them, he said to Xiao Le solemnly, "Just talk, don't talk about it."
"Do you play cards?"
Before Xiao Le could speak, Xiao Aimin leaned over to ask them.
"The three of us are not enough?"
"Third Uncle is coming too."
Xiao Le looked at Uncle Xiao with bright eyes when he heard this, "This is to be a money-spreading boy!"
"What boy!" Uncle Xiao groaned, "I'm already old, and I'm still a boy."
The little cousin chuckled, "Dad, is the focus on the boy? The focus is on distributing money."
"Tsk, let's see who is spreading the money, Xiao Le, don't lose all the money."
"Third uncle is so confident," Xiao Le hummed twice. The fire room in their house is very big, and there is a special table next to it, just for Chinese New Year, where they can keep warm while the family eats and play at the same time.
So Uncle Xiao and Dad Xiao moved the benches over to watch the fun, while Mama Xiao and the others next to them talked about interesting things that happened in the village while knitting.
Two oil lamps are placed, and with the firelight, it is quite bright.
It was almost early morning when everyone broke up.
Xiao Le lost all the money he won in the afternoon, and even lost two yuan. Uncle Xiao was even more pitiful, and the five yuan was gone.
The winners were Xiao Aimin and Mo Cheng.
"Just sleep here," Dad Xiao refused to let Mo Cheng go, and dragged him to wash his feet.
Uncle Xiao and Uncle Xiao went home with torches.
Now the rain has stopped.
"Sleeping next to me? Warm."
When Mo Cheng washed up and was about to rest, Xiao Le suddenly jumped out and asked.
Mo Cheng stepped back, "I'm very warm by myself."
Xiao Le chuckled, "Then you can go warm."
Bah, in the future, I will give it warmth if I want to be warm, bah bah bah!
Xiao Le, who scolded the dog man, went back to his room to sleep.
And Mo Cheng, who was lying down, breathed a sigh of relief, and slept with Xiao Le, wouldn't it be a fire all night?
Thinking of that feeling, Mo Cheng shuddered, and fell asleep comfortably by himself.
So when he was having breakfast the next day, he found that Mo Cheng was in good spirits, and Xiao Le was grinding his teeth while sleeping soundly.
So Xiao Le took Mo Cheng to find Xiao Aimin to play cards, this time Uncle Xiao joined.
Played cards at Uncle Xiao's house in the morning, and after lunch, took the two of them to Uncle Xiao's house to play cards for an afternoon.
Dizzy and dizzy, Mo Cheng went home and fed the chicken, then was dragged to Liu San's house to play cards.
Mo Cheng, who returned to his home with Xiao Le like a wandering spirit until early in the morning, rubbed the space between his eyebrows while boiling water.
After washing up, Mo Cheng almost closed his eyes and touched the bed.
Who knew that Xiao Le's faint voice could be heard next to him, "Sleeping together?"
Mo Cheng trembled, and finally understood where he had offended this shameless thing.
"Go to sleep, go to sleep."
Don't pull him to play cards.
So Xiao Le shared the bed with someone contentedly.
Didn't do anything, just snuggled up and slept all night.
The next day Xiao Le got up before Mo Cheng, cooked the noodles and then woke someone up.
After eating noodles, both of them felt revived with full blood.
"Playing cards?"
When Mo Cheng was finishing the noodle soup, Xiao Le suddenly said something, choking Mo Cheng to death.
Seeing his embarrassment, Xiao Le slapped the table and laughed.
After that day, Mo Cheng insisted on not looking for Xiao Le for ten days.
Xiao Le didn't look for him either, to see who couldn't hold back.
The result was Mo Cheng.
He looked like passing by, and brought Xiao Le a lot of delicious food.
Xiao Le looked at him with a half-smile, "Yo, rare guest."
Was beaten by Xiao's mother.
Mo Cheng smiled awkwardly, seeing this Xiao's mother hurriedly comforted him, and said something to Xiao Le again.
Xiao Le slurped his food, with an expression that I forgive you since you came to see me.
After it passed, Mo Cheng didn't understand what was wrong with him?Need his forgiveness.
As for why he wanted to find Xiao Le, it must be because he wanted to eat the noodles made by Xiao Le.
This reason is very good.
Mo Cheng gave himself a thumbs up.
After the twelfth lunar month, it became even colder. For Laba, Xiao Le had to go to the town to buy some goji berries and sorghum rice, and the rest were available at home.
As soon as he went out, he was blown straight by the cold wind.
Xiao Le clapped his hands, trotted to borrow a bicycle, then went straight to Mo Cheng's house, and pushed someone who had just woken up onto the bicycle, "Hurry up."
He sat firmly in the back.
Mo Cheng with a dazed expression: "...I haven't thought about Laba."
"I thought, when the time comes, you come over to eat."
Xiao Le patted his shoulder again, "Hurry up, go early and come back early."
Mo Cheng: "...Brother, you are really thick-skinned."
"Brother Cheng taught you well."
Xiao Le said proudly.
Mo Cheng took a deep breath, and replied while pedaling, "Don't learn from the good ones, learn from the bad ones!"
Xiao Le laughed from behind, and Mo Cheng couldn't help laughing when he heard his laughter, "Fool."
When encountering a bumpy place on the road, Xiao Le changed from grabbing his clothes to hugging his waist.
Mo Cheng almost fell off.
However, the people behind seemed to be operating normally, so Mo Cheng could only grit his teeth and move on, and he couldn't let his younger brother see that he had never seen the world.
When they arrived in the town, after Xiao Le finished shopping, he bought another two catties of meat and took Mo Cheng to Sister Xiao's house.
Mo Cheng felt that it was not good for him to be empty-handed, so he bought a bottle of Red Star Baijiu, which had both wine and meat, and directly added food to Sister Xiao and the others for the evening.
"It's such a cold day, you came here by bicycle?"
After a while of pleasantries, the two were surrounded by Sister Xiao's family to talk.
"Yeah, I'm cold and tired." Xiao Le said softly, holding An An in his arms.
Hearing this, Mo Cheng almost wanted to point his nose and scold him, who is blocking the wind in front?Who is pedaling hard?
Shame on me!
After politely rejecting the meal offer from Sister Xiao's family, Xiao Le and Mo Cheng rode their bicycles back home.
Seeing Mo Cheng's black face, Xiao Le suppressed a smile, took the things home, returned the bicycle, grabbed a rabbit, and ran to Mo Cheng's house for lunch.
How delicious the rabbit is, Mo Cheng immediately stopped being angry.
And Xiao Le didn't go back until the day he lived in Laba.
Mo Cheng followed him back.
The Laba Festival of the Xiao family is celebrated separately, so there will be no dinner parties.
Mo Cheng drank the delicious Laba porridge, listened to Xiao's father and Xiao's mother talking about Xiao Aimin's fish pond, and looked at Xiao Le who was eager to put his head into the bowl, and felt very happy.
There is no happier scene than this kind of scene. If Xiao Le, who finished the porridge in a few sips and handed over the bowl, waited eagerly for another bowl, he would be even happier.
Seeing Mo Cheng take the bowl and go to the kitchen to add some porridge to her son, Mother Xiao couldn't help but glared at him, "I don't have any feet?"
"We call it brotherly love," Xiao Le always said so much.
Hearing that, Papa Xiao wanted to give him a blow in the head.
"I don't know if brother and sister-in-law have eaten Laba porridge today," Xiao Le drank the second bowl as he wished.
Mo Cheng also picked up the big bowl that he had drunk half of, and nodded when he heard the words, "I should have drunk it."
Jiang Xiuying is a person who likes to do those things very much, and she will definitely pass this Laba.
At this time, Xiao Weiguo and Jiang Xiuying were indeed drinking Laba porridge, "I've been up all morning, why do I still think it's not as delicious as my mother's?"
Before getting married, that is, last year's Laba, Jiang Xiuying was invited to Xiao's house to drink the Laba porridge made by Xiao's mother. The taste was much better than hers.
"Maybe it's the briquettes we used?"
Xiao Weiguo also felt that something was missing.
"It's a pity that you don't have a vacation today, otherwise we'll go home and drink," Jiang Xiuying said with a look of pity, "I really miss home, why don't I go back today!"
Xiao Weiguo: "...you think so beautifully."
Jiang Xiuying smiled awkwardly, buried her head in the porridge and stopped talking about going home.
In a blink of an eye, it is the 25th of the twelfth lunar month.
The brick factory is on holiday.
Xiao Weiguo and Jiang Xiuying returned home with big and small bags of New Year's goods, "It's still the same as last year, going to work on the eighth day of the lunar new year."
Hearing this, Xiao Le was the first to become happy, "Then I can stay at home for a few days!"
"That's right," Xiao Weiguo looked at Xiao Le, who hadn't seen him for nearly three months and had grown a lot taller, "Young man just grows fast."
Xiao Le was very proud, and compared his height with Xiao Weiguo, "I almost caught up with you."
"Then you have to grow it quickly. If you hear about it, you won't grow it."
Jiang Xiuying chuckled when she heard this, "Don't listen to your brother, we'll still grow when we're 20!"
"I don't believe him," Xiao Le put his hips on his hips, "What do you want for lunch? Burning rabbits?"
What do you have the most at home?The most rabbits!
"Why are there so many rabbits?" When Jiang Xiuying left, the circle was only half of what it is now, and it was now a vast expanse of whiteness.
"This thing grows fast."
Xiao's mother smiled and asked them to go to the fire room to keep warm, "Your father will wait for you at the entrance of the village every day. It happened to be busy today, so you came back."
Hearing this, Xiao Weiguo and his wife felt warm in their hearts, "What are you waiting for, it's so cold."
"It's cold, so it's okay to be idle," Xiao's father had already caught the rabbit and came over, "Should I kill it now?"
"Okay, I'll go peel the potatoes."
Xiao Le rolled up his sleeves and went to work.
Now that the couple are in the fire room, Jiang Xiuying said, "Xiao Le has not only grown taller, but also feels a lot more mature."
"Boy, once you're enlightened, you'll become sensible."
Xiao Weiguo chuckled, glanced at Jiang Xiuying, "Go home and have a look tomorrow?"
"Let's go back in the second day of junior high school. It's not too late." Jiang Xiuying took his hand, leaned over and smiled.
Xiao Le's skill in burning rabbits is unmatched, Xiao Weiguo and Jiang Xiuying can't wait to swallow their tongues.
"Xiao Le, why don't you just open a roasted rabbit restaurant in the county, the business will definitely be good!"
Xiao Weiguo Road.
"I don't want it," Xiao Le clasped Xiao's father's hand stickily, "I want to stay at home with my parents, I have already thought about it, I will grow more vegetables at home, and I will buy a small car when I have money. Wheel, go sell vegetables."
"That's fine." Xiao Weiguo doesn't care what Xiao Le wants to do, as long as he walks the right path, he can do anything. "When the time comes, he will become a big vegetable seller, so don't pretend not to know me when you meet me on the road."
"Who am I?"
Xiao Le just pointed at Xiao Weiguo.
The second day after they came back, Xiao Aiguo also came back with big bags and small bags.
He was just over a year older than Xiao Le, but a head taller than Xiao Le, and he didn't know how dark it was.
Xiao Le took his hand to compare with himself, "...are you going to country F to dig coal?"
Xiao Aiguo snorted lightly, "What nonsense, I am the sign of a mature man!"
Xiao Le sneered just like him, "Ouch, ouch, it's great, yo."
Full of jealousy is added to the yin and yang strangeness.
Xiao Aiguo covered his ears and looked at him childishly, "By the way, what's going on at home?"
When he came back, he was still very uncomfortable, thinking that his second uncle's house had built a big house, so he might as well just stay at his second uncle's house this year, but he didn't see Liu Yanyan when he got home.
As for the second uncle's house repairs, it was his brother who went to visit him when he went to the provincial capital to buy goods, and told him when he talked about the family affairs.
"I don't know either," Xiao Le said vaguely, "Anyway, brother Aimin wanted to divorce, and she was at her mother's house around November and hasn't come back yet."
Xiao Aiguo's eyes lit up, "Then leave!"
To tell the truth, when Liu Yanyan plotted against Xiao Weiguo, Xiao Aiguo felt something was wrong and disliked him very much. Finally, Xiao Weiguo got divorced, and he hadn't had time to be happy yet.
Good guy, married into his family!
Xiao Aiguo only felt that his elder brother had mental problems, and his family would not listen to any persuasion, and he was not willing to stay at home, so he went out with a few good people in the village to find work.
Although he was tired outside and homesick, but when he thought of Liu Yanyan at home, he didn't feel tired and homesick.
"It looks like it's coming soon, but she can hold her breath. Brother Aimin hasn't passed by for so long, and she hasn't come back."
Xiao Le expressed admiration.
Seeing this, Xiao Aiguo looked at him with disgust, "Why are you so stupid? Can she stay at home in peace? She must have run away early!"
"Hey, I wanted to burn rabbits for some people, but some people don't seem to want to eat rabbits."
When Xiao Aiguo came to his second uncle's house, he heard Xiao Weiguo say that the rabbits cooked by Xiao Le were so delicious. Now that he heard this, he was naturally subdued. After eating the rabbits made by Xiao Le, he came to Xiao Le every other day. Home, pestering each other to cook.
The rabbit is so delicious, what else can be worse?
Sure enough, Xiao Aiguo believed in this even more after Xiao Le was worn out and made him a bowl of noodles.
Anyway, Liu Yanyan will not come back this year, so Xiao Aiguo suggested to his family that this year's New Year's Eve dinner will be eaten at Xiao Le's house.
"It's been more than two years since we celebrated the New Year together. Let's have the New Year's Eve dinner at the second uncle's house this year."
Xiao Aiguo looked at his parents and brother anxiously.
Xiao Aimin glanced at him with a smile, "Second Uncle came to tell me a few days ago, and Third Uncle's family also came over, this year the family will have a good New Year."
"Then you and that person's business should be done earlier, so don't make any mistakes."
Xiao Aiguo urged to strike while the iron was hot.
Uncle Xiao also looked over. In the past few months, they didn't ask, Xiao Aimin didn't mention the other party, and the other party seemed to have disappeared and didn't come back.
"I went to look for it. The Liu family said that in December, she went to the coast with a few people from their village."
Xiao Aimin's words surprised the family.
"Going to the coast? When will you be back?"
"Yeah, are you guys going to leave or not? There's always something to talk about, so don't delay."
The boss is not too young, even if divorced, it will take a year or two to find a suitable one.
If you keep procrastinating like this, you will become a bachelor just like Mo Cheng.
Aunt Xiao's eyes were red with anxiety.
"Don't worry, if she finds a better one, she will rush back and divorce me without needing to mention it."
Xiao Aimin laughed mockingly.
Seeing that Xiao Aiguo and others were not happy, Xiao Aiguo took Xiao Aimin to find Xiao Le, and it happened that Mo Cheng was there, so he started playing cards again.
Xiao Weiguo also watched his colleagues play in the factory, but he didn't like this entertainment very much, and even when Xiao Le and the others were playing, he told them to have a little fun and not indulge in it.
Xiao Le nodded softly, "Don't worry brother, we know how to measure."
After Xiao Le's revenge last time, Mo Cheng was in a shadow, he didn't really want to fight.
Kang Soo-young, who saw his resistance, took his place.
Then kill the Quartet.
Xiao Aiguo was so anxious that he pulled Mo Cheng, who was watching the fun, over to be his staff officer. Even so, he lost a lot.
Jiang Xiuying's card luck is really good.
Xiao Aimin was also jealous, he couldn't even think of a divorce, he just wanted to win back the money he lost!
On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, it is the collection of brooms.
This means that on the last market day of the year, the house is cleaned, the new year’s goods are bought, and the new year begins on the next market day.
The family's New Year's goods are enough, but Mo Cheng's family doesn't have any, Xiao Aimin and the others are almost there, and Aunt Xiao and the others are going too.
So Xiao Le joined in the fun and walked to the market with everyone.
On the way, Xiao Le was like ADHD, either pulling the branches here to shake off the snow to scare them, or walking behind Mo Cheng and suddenly hitting his back basket.
Mo Cheng had a severe headache, so he simply grabbed his wrist, "Go obediently."
No one thought it was wrong for him to do this, but felt that he had controlled Xiao Le,
