"The cost of opening a restaurant is too high. If the business is not good, it will be a waste of work."

Xiao Le shook his head.

"Yeah, you have to have a lot of skill to open a restaurant. You have to make whatever people want to eat? If you can't do it, it's so embarrassing."

Xiao Wang also shook his head.

Xiao Dazhu listened quietly and did not speak.

Xiao Chengyun took a bite of the melon, and passed a piece of clean chrysanthemum to the finished chrysanthemum, "But my brother is fine in business, he is very eloquent."

"Hahaha, I'm called sweet-mouthed," Xiao Le smiled, "But I still feel my face hurts if I smile at people every day."

Liu Sisi and the others laughed when they heard this.

"Speaking of business, how about opening a grocery store?"

Liu Sisi heard Xiao Le's idea of ​​getting goods for the village in the afternoon, and now she suddenly had an idea, "You go to the county to get goods, it's better to go to other places to get lower goods, so that the cost can be raised .”

"But we don't know where to get cheap goods."

Xiao Chengyun washed his hands and came over and said.

"Look for a chance, I'll disturb the eldest lady, her family is in business."

As she said that, Liu Sisi also felt itchy hands, "I haven't received any work for several months, and I really feel that something is missing."

Chrysanthemum was full of admiration, "Sister-in-law is really amazing."

"If you know your sister-in-law is great, you should be so smart, you're so stupid that you won't be able to teach her a few times," Xiao Wang poked her on the head bitterly.

Chrysanthemum hid behind Xiao Le, also very embarrassed, "I, I just can't control my hand."

"It's okay, take your time." Liu Sisi didn't think there was any problem with this, "It's all done through practice."

Chrysanthemum is still practicing on the rags.

Xiao Le slept very comfortably tonight, Xu Shi got home, the bed was familiar, and he didn't have to worry about someone snatching their goods, so the next day, like Xiao Chengyun, he slept until noon.

Xiao Wang and the others didn't call them until they got up by themselves.

"There are glutinous melons and steamed buns warming in the pot."

"I know mother."

Xiao Le stretched his limbs, and after washing, he went to serve food in the pot.

"Why don't you call me?"

While washing his face, Xiao Chengyun asked Liu Sisi who was teaching chrysanthemum next to him.

"Look at you sleeping soundly. Besides, there's not much work in the field, so it doesn't matter if you sleep a little longer."

Liu Sisi smiled lightly.

"If you feel like you're too busy, I'll help your third uncle repair the pigsty in the afternoon. Their pigsty was damaged by pigs, so your third uncle wants to rebuild two of them."

Uncle Xiao and his family fed two pigs.

"Okay," Xiao Chengyun nodded.

Xiao Le ate glutinous melon, feeling like he had forgotten something.

It was Xiao Wang who reminded him after he had eaten, "Hurry up and make candied haws."

"Oh, I said I'm going to do it early this morning!"

Xiao Le slapped his head, finally remembering what he forgot.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry," Liu Sisi felt a little embarrassed, "I ate a lot last night, and I drank some porridge in the morning, but I didn't vomit."

"It's just that I ate less." Xiao Wang was also happy, and said with a smile, "how about half a bowl of porridge, Xiao Le, hurry up, Fafu is going to the market today, I asked him to bring four catties of ribs and two fish went."

"Can fish be made sweet and sour?"

Xiao Le asked Liu Sisi, Liu Sisi nodded immediately, "Yes, sweet and sour fish!"

Xiao Le smiled slightly and nodded to express his understanding.

Liu Sisi was thinking, she had forgotten that sweet and sour fish was so delicious, but she remembered it when asked by her uncle, and thought that very few people in this time and space knew how to do it, so she told Chrysanthemum a few words, So he went to the kitchen and told Xiao Le how to make sweet and sour fish.

"Write it down, wait for me to show my skills at noon!"

Xiao Le raised his voice.

The wild fruit at home was finished, and Xiao Fafu hadn't come back yet, so Xiao Le went to the back mountain to pick wild fruit with a basket on his back. On the way, he met Xiao Facai, who was going to chop firewood.

Knowing that Xiao Le went to pick the wild fruit, Xiao Facai said, "I know there is a very good fruit. My mother went to pick it a few days ago. It must be growing well now. I will take you there."

So Xiao Le followed behind his back, and when he came home, the back basket was full, Liu Sisi and others surrounded his back bag and exclaimed.

"Why so many?"

"Yes, and they are very familiar."

Xiao Le was washing his hands, and said with a smile, "I tasted it, the overripe fruit is sour and sweet, you can eat it directly, sister-in-law."

Chrysanthemum immediately washed two for Liu Sisi.

Liu Sisi's eyes lit up after taking a bite, "It's delicious!"

"But there are so many, if you don't finish eating today, it will be spoiled tomorrow," Chrysanthemum looked for a dustpan with some worry, and poured out the wild fruits in the basket and left it open.

Otherwise, if you hold it like this, the fruit under the basket will be broken.

"Then make it into jam." Liu Sisi had already eaten a wild fruit, "you don't need to add so much sugar, it's easy to make when it's ripe."

"Then tell me, Chrysanthemum and I will cook," Xiao Wang immediately became interested, "Xiao Le! Brother Fafu has already bought the things, so you can cook."

"Okay," Xiao Le agreed.

Seeing that his hair was wet, Liu Sisi couldn't help but said, "Don't worry, just rest for a while."

"It's okay, I'm hungry too," Xiao Le said with a light smile.

After breakfast, Xiao Chengyun went to help the third uncle, so he didn't come back at noon.

At noon, Xiao Le made a sweet and sour fish, boiled glutinous melon, and fried a large bowl of green vegetables, and they sat down to eat.

"I won't finish eating alone, mother, you can eat too." Seeing that they didn't reach for the fish with their chopsticks, Liu Sisi picked up a big fish with chopsticks for Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang quickly asked her to stop, "I don't like such sweets, you should eat more."

"I don't like to eat it either. I think glutinous melon is better."

Chrysanthemum also hurriedly said.

Xiao Le was blunt, "Why are you saying no? There is still one fish. I will buy it tomorrow after eating it. Isn't there a fish farm in the next village? With the current conditions of our family, two fish a day can still be afforded." of."

As he said that, he began to eat the fish happily, "It tastes good, I am so good."

Don't forget to brag about yourself.

"Uncle is right, mother, if you don't eat, I will lose my appetite," Liu Sisi said softly.

Xiao Wang and Chrysanthemum just stretched out their chopsticks, but they didn't eat much, Liu Sisi couldn't help it, after the meal was over, there was more than half of the fish left, Xiao Wang said she would steam it for Liu Sisi to eat at night.

There was nothing wrong with Xiao Le at home, so he went to Uncle Xiao's house to help.

Xiao Fafu was also there, and the two got together to work.

"Being a salesman is very risky, I think you better not go."

Xiao Le lifted the stone up, "I know, I heard my mother talk about that salesman as soon as I came back. Fortunately, he is a lucky man."

"No," Xiao Fafu nodded again and again, "I broke into a cold sweat when I found out. Fortunately, you are all fine except that Brother Chengyun has been hacked so much."

Xiao Chengyun, who heard someone say that he was dark, looked over.

Xiao Fafu laughed awkwardly immediately, "Hahahaha..."

"Don't say my brother is black, he doesn't like to hear people talk about it," Xiao Le said in a low voice, but everyone present could hear him clearly.

"Xiao Le!"

Xiao Chengyun shouted.

Uncle Xiao San's house burst into laughter immediately.

Third Aunt Xiao was even very worried, and went to Xiao Wang to ask if she wanted to see a doctor for Xiao Chengyun.

Knowing that Xiao Chengyun was only tanned and there were still white spots on his body, Xiao Wang held back a smile and said it was all right.

After learning about this, Xiao Chengyun started his own whitening journey.

"This cucumber really makes me whiter."

He was lying on the bamboo chair, and Liu Sisi was sticking sliced ​​cucumbers on his face.

Xiao Le watched from the side with a smile.

"You still don't believe me?" Liu Sisi smiled, "The effect is very good."

"Then I have to try," Xiao Chengyun stuck to it obediently, and after applying it for a while, he took it off to wash his face according to Liu Sisi's words.

Chrysanthemum was curious and wanted to try it too.

After posting it for her, Liu Sisi looked at Xiao Le, "Uncle, do you want to try?"

"I don't need it," Xiao Le touched his face, "it's still so smooth and fair."

These words made Liu Sisi laugh so hard, Xiao Chengyun also felt jealous, he couldn't help but said to Xiao Dazhu who was sitting at the door of the main room, "Father, why am I like you!"

Xiao Dazhu:? ? ?Niezi, say it again.

"Sisi! Sisi! Someone is coming!"

Everyone heard Xiao Wang's shouting outside the courtyard gate, Xiao Chengyun went out to have a look, and there was a woman behind Xiao Wang's.

He recognized the person right away, "It's the woman next to the eldest lady."

Hearing this, Liu Sisi also came to the gate of the courtyard, and Xiao Le had already cleverly poured water.

That woman came here to find Liu Sisi to embroider the wrapping cloth, which is what the child will need after a hundred days of birth. will be fine.

Liu Sisi took over the job.

The mother-in-law smiled and gave Liu Sisi the cloth she had brought, and after sitting for a while, she left.

"I was going to visit the third sister's house, but the second child at the entrance of the village came to me and said that someone was asking about the location of our house. I went out and saw that it was this woman. She said she was from the Yang family and came to see Sisi for something. Son."

Only now did Xiao Wang talk about how she met the other party, "I thought, isn't the Yang family the old lady's family? So I led someone to the door, but I also told her that Sisi was pregnant, and she was still pregnant. Vomiting badly, it depends on Sisi whether she can pick up the job."

Hearing this, Liu Sisi felt warm in her heart, "I don't vomit anymore. Speaking of which, thanks to my uncle, I can take this job."

"Then I'll cook for my sister-in-law when I'm at home," Xiao Le patted his chest.

Xiao Chengyun scratched his head, "Then I'll light a fire for you."

"Forget it, I just posted cucumbers," Xiao Le pursed his lips, "The fire will blacken you."

Xiao Chengyun: ...

There was another burst of laughter in the yard.

Liu Sisi had work to do, and Xiao Le took care of the three meals, and she gained weight in less than half a month.

And at this moment, the autumn harvest has begun at home.

Liu Sisi also put down her work for the time being, and cooked with Chrysanthemum, her complexion was rosy, and after cooking for two days in a row, and nothing happened, Xiao Wang felt relieved.

Just when they were busy, it was Erwazi from the entrance of the village who brought another person.

Xiao Le stared blankly at Mo Cheng who was carrying a big backpack.

Mo Cheng smiled at him and made a gesture: I know you guys are about to harvest, so come here to help.

"Mo Cheng is here?"

Xiao Chengyun was also surprised, "What did you say?"

"He said he knew we were about to harvest, so he came to help."

Xiao Dazhu also knew about Mo Cheng, and he smiled at the other party, "Be careful, Xiao Le, take Mo Cheng home to drink some water first, it's hot to come here on such a hot day."

"Eh."

Xiao Le should have landed quickly, and took Mo Cheng home. He knew that Mo Cheng and his family didn't have much land, so they had already collected it.

"I was thinking of going to you after the autumn harvest."

Mo Cheng was very happy when he heard the words: I also want to finish collecting for you as soon as possible.

Xiao Le chuckled and led him into the courtyard gate.

Only Liu Sisi and Chrysanthemum were at home, and Xiao Wang went to borrow a basket from Aunt Xiao.

"Sister-in-law, Chrysanthemum, this is my good brother Mo Cheng," Xiao Le introduced to the two.

Mo Cheng put down the basket, uncovered the grass on it, revealing the meat underneath, it was all meat.

Chrysanthemum and Liu Sisi gasped.

Xiao Le yelled, "Did you evacuate the whole house?"

Mo Cheng smiled silently: After you left, I went up the mountain again. This was all done later. The autumn harvest is tiring, so I will make up for you.

Under Xiao Le's explanation, Liu Sisi and Liu Sisi were very embarrassed when they learned what he meant. This person is too sincere.

I wanted Mo Cheng to rest for a while, but he insisted on going to help right away, so Xiao Le took him down to the ground, Liu Sisi chose a piece of meat for dinner, and gave Chrysanthemum some money to let her go The uncle's family buys some wine, which is brewed by themselves.

When Xiao Wang came back after borrowing a pannier, she heard Xiao Chengyun say that Mo Cheng came to help, and when she saw the big man behind Xiao Le, she praised, "This kid is really strong."

Mo Cheng blushed a little, and slightly cupped his hands at Xiao Wang's and his wife.

"Good boy, why don't you take a break?"

"He insisted on helping us," Xiao Le explained, and took Mo Cheng to work in his own field.

Until evening, Xiao Le, Xiao Chengyun and Mo Cheng went to the river to wash their hands and feet, and sat there enjoying the evening breeze.

It didn't take long for Xiao Dazhu to come over with his clothes. It was hot and he wanted to wash them after a day's work. It was too troublesome to carry water back, so they washed them in the river.

Mo Cheng was taken aback when he took the clothes, but he himself forgot to bring his clothes and left in a hurry.

"This is my brother's." Xiao Le pulled him into the river, "Let's wash it over there."

Mo Cheng realized later, his face flushed when he realized.

Xiao Le stripped naked in front of him and went into the water. After swimming for a while, he found Mo Cheng covering his nose and crouching in embarrassment by the river.

He was startled and hurried over, but Mo Cheng waved at him to tell him not to go over.

Looking at the redness between Mo Cheng's fingers, Xiao Le understood, he quickly sank his body, and couldn't help laughing, "Brother Mo Cheng, you are too angry, there are mung beans at home, I will eat them at night. Make soup for you to lower your anger.

Mo Cheng was so embarrassed that he finally stopped, and then he got into the water.

Xiao Le looked at it generously, and after reading it, he swam up to him and stretched out his hand to touch his arm, "How did you grow?"

Stretching out his arm, Xiao Le felt even more sad, "Looking at it this way, I'm a weak chicken."

Mo Cheng couldn't help but grabbed his little arm and squeezed it, then the corner of his mouth curled up, his eyes sparkled.

Seeing this, Xiao Le pulled out his arm and turned his back to the disappointed Mo Cheng, "Wash my back?"

There was no sound behind him, just when Xiao Le wanted to turn his head to ask, a pair of big hands were placed on his shoulders.

It's hot.

Xiao Le narrowed his eyes.

When they got dressed and came to Xiao Dazhu's side, Xiao Dazhu and the others saw Mo Cheng walking behind Xiao Le, blushing very much.

"What's the matter?"

Xiao Dazhu asked.

"It's the first time I take a shower with someone, and I'm shy."

Xiao Le laughed.

Xiao Chengyun also laughed, "I forgot, Mo Cheng and his village only have mountain streams, and they always take a bath at home."

Mo Cheng nodded hurriedly.

Although he couldn't speak, he didn't feel uncomfortable at Xiao's house, let alone communicate poorly. First, he had Xiao Le, second, he didn't know how to use common sign language, and second, he tried his best to use gestures that ordinary people could understand.

After Xiao Wang and the others looked at the basket of meat, they talked about Mo Cheng, and finally told Xiao Le and the others to buy it directly. As a result, Mo Cheng almost shook his head, which made Xiao Wang cancel the proposal. idea.

"That kid is too honest. Just bring the meat to the county and sell it. How can it be sold better? I recited it all for us. It's not easy to go over mountains and mountains."

Xiao Wang couldn't sleep, so she dragged Xiao Dazhu to talk at night.

Xiao Dazhu couldn't help but nodded, "Yeah, he worked very hard, don't look at him being so tall and simple-minded, he would blush even taking a bath with Xiao Le."

"Really? That's too easy to lie."

Xiao Wang giggled.

I don't know that someone who is innocent and easy to deceive is lying beside Xiao Le at this time, unable to sleep because of the heat.

I thought Xiao Le was asleep, but Xiao Le suddenly reached out and poked his arm, "What's wrong?"

Mo Cheng backhanded him to poke his finger, pinched it, and wanted to gesture, but found that it was a little dark now, even if he gestured, Xiao Le might not be able to see it.

"Is it too hot? If so, give me a pinch."

So the next moment he was pinched.

Then Xiao Le sat up, and with the other hand brought a big cattail fan and fanned him lightly.

Mo Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then he snatched the big cattail fan from Xiao Le's hand, pinched his fingers again, and signaled him to lie down.

After Xiao Le lay down, a gust of wind came towards him.

"I wanted to give you a fan, but it turned out to be a good thing, and I became a person who enjoys it."

He couldn't help laughing, but didn't take his hand back.

After Mo Cheng discovered this, he didn't want to let go, so he just grabbed him with one hand and fanned the two of them with the other.

They didn't know when they fell asleep.

The next day, before the rooster crowed, Mo Cheng got up, and he directly cleaned the yard, and then went to clean the pigsty.

When Xiao Wang woke up and heard movement, she thought it was Xiao Chengyun who got up, "Boss also got up too early."

"It doesn't look like the boss," Xiao Dazhu also got up, went out and looked back and said, "Oh, it's Mo Cheng!"

"This child..."

Mrs. Xiao Wang thought for a while, took out more than [-] eggs, and boiled sugared eggs for everyone to eat. Knowing that men eat a lot, he made pancakes and ate them with glutinous melon soup. They tasted really good.

During this period, Mrs. Xiao Wang continued to pick up vegetables for Mo Cheng, stuffed pancakes one after another, and waved Mo Cheng's hands after eating.

"He's full."

As Xiao Le said, Mo Cheng, who was sitting beside him, also patted his stomach cooperatively.

"Why are you so full?"

Feeling the joy of feeding, Xiao Wang couldn't believe it.

"I'm really full. If I eat any more, I'll have to vomit."

Xiao Le didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pulled Mo Cheng down to the ground with his back on his back.

With Mo Cheng's help, their family quickly finished harvesting the food, and went to the second and third uncle's houses to help.

Mo Cheng was known by Xiao's family, and everyone liked him very much.

Xiao Fafu knew that he was good at hunting, so he dragged him and Xiao Le into the mountain together. Their mountain forest was not as steep as that of Mo Cheng, and there were not as many things there, but Mo Cheng was very good, relying on his excellent sense of smell and accumulation Based on my experience, I got a small boar.

When carrying it back to the village, it attracted the attention of many people.

Knowing that he is mute, there is a sigh.

The boar was slaughtered at home, and the Xiao family had a hot meal together, drinking wine and eating meat, and the days were happy.

Even after the autumn harvest, they didn't let Mo Cheng go, and soon someone called Mrs. Xiao Wang. Mrs. Xiao didn't tell those people about Mo Cheng's family rashly, but went home and asked Mo Cheng if he had any problems. I don't want to start a family, or what do I think of the girls in their village.

Mo Cheng shook his head in horror, and Xiao Le said firmly, "He doesn't like it, and he doesn't plan to start a family so early."

Mo Cheng nodded repeatedly.

Mrs. Xiao Wang smiled, "It's okay, take your time, and tell auntie if you have eyesight."

She is very tolerant in this respect, and she will not be like other parents who feel that the children are getting older and force them to get married.

Mo Cheng also felt this.

Liu Sisi's wrapping was embroidered, she went to the county with Xiao Chengyun, Xiao Le and Mo Cheng were at home turning over the grain, and when they learned that Xiao Le's family was going to renovate the house, Mo Cheng immediately offered to help.

"Of course you have to help, don't even think about leaving," Xiao Le showed his big white teeth, Mo Cheng also showed his big white teeth when he saw this.

Like two big fools.

When Xiao Chengyun and the others came back, they talked about getting the goods, "The eldest lady said that her mother's house can get the goods for us, and the price can be two copper coins lower than other houses."

This is already very good.

"Let's make another trip and come back to build the house."

Xiao Chengyun said.

Xiao Le thought for a while and said, "Brother is building a house at home, and Brother Mo Cheng and I are going out for a run."

Without waiting for the Xiao family to hesitate, Mo Cheng nodded: I can do it.

He gestured.

So everyone didn't worry too much anymore, because this time, they only need to go to each village to ask if there is anyone who needs the goods.

So it didn't take too many days. When they came back, the family house had been demolished and the foundation was being laid.

Xiao Wang also made a suit of clothes for Mo Cheng, and Mo Cheng was reluctant to take it off after wearing it, so Xiao Wang made another suit for him, which can be changed and washed.

After finishing the clothes, Xiao Wang started making shoes for him again. Xiao Le was not jealous, and occasionally helped Xiao Wang thread the needle.

In the evening, when Xiao Dazhu had nothing to do, he would take Mo Cheng to walk around the village and drop by.

Mo Cheng soon became acquainted with the village.

Knowing that Aunt Zhang and Xiao's family had a bad relationship, Mo Cheng avoided him as soon as he met him, but there was no conflict.

Because the house was demolished, they built a temporary thatched house next to it. Liu Sisi, Juhua and Xiao Wang went to live with Uncle Xiao.Xiao Dazhu and Xiao Chengyun went to live at Xiao Sanshu's house.

Originally, Xiao Le and Mo Cheng were allowed to go, but the two of them didn't want to, so they wanted to live in thatched cottage, and take care of some things by the way.

It was night, and the person next to him couldn't sleep, and the hand he was holding was very hot.

Xiao Le turned over and faced him, "Brother Mo Cheng, why don't you take a cold shower?"

Mo Cheng's ears turned red, he let go of his hands in a panic, and actually went out to take a shower.

Hearing the sound of water, Xiao Le chuckled lightly.
