Dressed as the uncle of farming culture

Hearing this, Xiao Le leaned forward with his hands behind his back, and took a good look at the impressive Mo Chengzai, "Didn't you rest well last night?"

The young man raised his eyes, glanced at Xiao Le who was thinking carefully, and suddenly stretched out his hand to pull him to him, "What do you want to eat?"

"White bread with eggs," Xiao Le stretched out his hand obediently, and when his hand was wrapped by Mo Cheng's big hand, the corners of their mouths raised at the same time.

One of the two is tall and the other is handsome. They are close together, which naturally attracts people's attention, but as long as they meet Mo Cheng's eyes, they all look away.

After breakfast, Xiao Le took the draft of the clothes he drew last night and sent it to shopkeeper Zhao. After reading it, shopkeeper Zhao couldn't hide his surprise, "Okay, okay!"

Sending this to Fucheng can make a lot of money!

"Brother Zhao, how much do you think this piece of clothing is worth?"

When talking about money, Xiao Le asked shopkeeper Zhao to bid first.

Shopkeeper Zhao carefully put away the drafts of clothes, looked at Xiao Le with a smile and said, "I'm not talking nonsense, these clothes are definitely a big seller in Fucheng! I can't treat you badly, do you think a piece of clothes How about the draft number?"

He stretched out a finger.

"Brother Zhao is benevolent," Xiao Le was not greedy. After all, he was only publishing drawings, and the price was already very good.

Shopkeeper Zhao personally sent him out, and Mo Cheng, who was waiting in the front hall, also got up and came over after seeing Xiao Le coming out.

"Brother Zhao stay behind."

"Those two go slowly."

After Xiao Le and the others left, shopkeeper Zhao took the manuscript paper and went to Fucheng in a carriage.

"Go buy something to eat," Xiao Le wanted to take it back, so Mo Cheng naturally said nothing.

It's just that he was always next to Xiao Le, and after buying things, Mo Cheng carried them, and every time Xiao Le bought one, he would add another one, making a total of two.

"This is what I want."

Xiao Le also let him go.

When he saw the children's toys, he bought a lot of them, and when Mo Cheng wanted to add more, Xiao Le turned around and said, "It's not fun if there are too many of the same ones. .”

Mo Cheng heard the words and had no choice but to give up.

Except for them, the ox cart on the way back was full of things.

Xiao Le leaned on him openly, holding his big hand and playing with it, "Brother Mo Cheng."

"Ok?"

Xiao Le's other hand was a little unruly, and suddenly placed it on Mo Cheng's abdomen, and pressed hard. Hearing a muffled sound from the person above him, he curled his lips, "You have abdominal muscles!"

"what?"

Mo Cheng pressed his hand to prevent him from moving.

"Yes," Xiao Le raised his head, his eyes were round and bright, "very strong."

After Mo Cheng stared at him for a while, he grabbed the back of his head and pressed him into his arms, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't make trouble."

Xiao Le struggled a few times, but it didn't work.

He simply stretched out his arms to hug Mo Cheng, and rubbed his face vigorously in his arms, which made Mo Cheng furious.

However, Xiao Le was very happy, and was still moving around like a loach.

"Xiao Le."

Mo Cheng warned again.

At this time, the ox carts had just entered the road, and there were no people on the road, and one or two ox carts or donkey carts could be seen from a long distance away.

"What's the matter, Brother Mo Cheng?"

Xiao Le hugged Mo Cheng's chest like a caterpillar.

Looking down at the back of his troubled head, Mo Cheng's Adam's apple slid several times, the sun was shining on them, warm, but at this moment, Mo Cheng felt that the sun was too strong, as if countless torches were thrust in front of him.

It was very hot.

Seeing that Mo Cheng didn't move, Xiao Le put his ear on his heart, felt the faster heartbeat, hugged him and said softly, "I won't trouble you anymore."

Good and dead.

Mo Cheng sighed, raised his hand and gently placed it on the top of his head, rubbed it a few times with a little annoyance, and then slowly straightened him out.

Some light, more itchy.

Coupled with the increasingly intense sun above his head, Xiao Le was a little sleepy, and he muttered, "I'll sleep."

And then fell asleep.

As soon as he fell asleep, he seemed to have no bones, from leaning against Mo Cheng to falling in his arms.

Soft, very soft.

Mo Cheng carefully put his head on his lap, and took off his coat to cover his body, but not long after he got hot, someone tore it off and threw it aside.

Seeing this, Mo Cheng's fingers caressed his cheek lightly, Xiao Le's face, which was flushed from sleep, became even redder after being touched all the way by him.

When they reached the entrance of the village, Mo Cheng was behind him carrying big and small bags, and Xiao Le was in front of him touching his face full of doubts.

"Why do I feel a little pain in the face?"

Mo Cheng didn't speak.

They went to Mo Cheng's house first, put down the children's things, and then went back to Xiao's house together.

Nobody at home.

Mo Cheng put down his things, and Xiao Le brought him a bowl of cold water, "Drink quickly."

"Did you drink?"

"I'll pour mine right away," Xiao Le said with a smile.

Mo Cheng didn't stay at Xiao's house for too long, but before he left, he kissed Xiao Le's cheek, "I'll be gentle next time."

Only then did Xiao Le catch the culprit.

"I'll come to see you tonight?"

Xiao Le hugged his neck and smiled.

Mo Cheng's eyes were dark, with Xiao Leming's fire in them, "You're still young."

"What are you thinking?" Xiao Le pinched his face, "I'll go take a walk with you."

"it is good."

This is a quick answer.

Xiao Le rolled his eyes, and waved at Mo Cheng's back.

At noon, Second Aunt Xiao came back to cook, but saw the smoke rising from the kitchen, and it seemed that someone was already cooking, so she quickly walked into the courtyard gate.

"Uncle?"

"here I am."

Xiao Le's voice came from the kitchen.

After washing her hands, Second Aunt Xiao walked into the kitchen with a smile, and found that the food was ready, including fish and meat, and there was the last vegetable omelette soup in the pot.

"My eldest sister and I came back yesterday, only to find out that you also went to the county seat, but we didn't run into each other."

"I went with brother Mo Cheng. He took me to listen to opera and stayed in the house all the time, so we didn't run into each other."

Second Wife Xiao blinked her eyes, looking at the very happy little uncle.

"By the way, how is eldest sister?"

Xiao Le scooped up the soup and washed the pot again.

Speaking of Sister Xiao, Second Aunt Xiao smiled and said, "It's okay. The doctor said that after the accident last time, she didn't take good care of her body, so she prescribed a few medicines to make her move more, and she will be able to have a child in a year."

"I said she heard that the wind is rain." Xiao Le counted the bowls and chopsticks, "Second sister-in-law, you go and ask them to come back for dinner, and you won't send them to the field. This fish is not easy to pretend."

"Eh."

After Xiao's mother and others came back, looking at the dishes on this table, Xiao's mother groaned, pointing at Xiao Le before scolding, Xiao Le said, "Brother Mo Cheng bought them all, the fish I bought are still raised, the meat It’s still on the shelf, and we’ll eat it when the second brother comes back.”

"What, what?"

Mother Xiao picked out her ears, "Who do you think bought it?"

"Brother Mo Cheng."

Xiao Le greeted Sister Xiao and Father Xiao to eat quickly.

"Why did he buy so many things?"

Father Xiao also asked.

"I did him a little favor." Xiao Le picked up a piece of fish and ate it with a smile. "My cooking skills are not bad. You all should try my fish."

"That's right," Sister Xiao nodded, "It's a little worse than me."

"Yes, yes, you are the best."

Xiao Le snorted softly, "But in this village, which man cooks fish better than me?"

"What's so proud of that?" Mother Xiao yelled and asked, "What did you do for him?"

"Secret," Xiao Le picked up a piece of meat for her, urging her to eat it quickly, "Mother, don't ask, I didn't do anything illegal anyway."

"If you dare to do it, I will break your leg!"

Xiao's mother scolded him while eating the meat.

Sister Xiao's face no longer has any haze, it can be seen that once the knot is resolved, everything is over.

"We sold the hairpins we made before," Second Aunt Xiao said softly to Xiao Le, "But it's not as good as yours, and the price is half the price compared to last time."

"It's already pretty good," Xiao Le gave them a thumbs up, "Mother, don't you think so?"

"That is," Xiao's mother was very proud, "The craftsmanship of your second sister-in-law and your eldest sister is not something ordinary people can do."

After the family laughed and ate, Mother Xiao and Eldest Sister Xiao went to clean up the stove, and Second Aunt Xiao took out the silver thread and pearl flowers bought yesterday, "I made this with Eldest Sister, Uncle, look at this time How about it?"

"Second sister-in-law," Xiao Le looked up at her, "My aesthetics may not be the best. In the future, you will go to a store in the county with your second brother to be the shopkeeper. You have to learn to appreciate others, and then act according to that type of person." Hairpin."

"I, I'm going to the county seat to be a shopkeeper?"

Second Aunt Xiao was startled.

"Of course," Xiao Le was more surprised than she was. "Could it be possible that you want my second brother to be alone in the county seat? We open an accessories store, so how many girls would it take to see it? Second sister-in-law, are you sure?"

Second Aunt Xiao's face turned red immediately, she hurriedly took the things back to the table in the main room, looked down at the hairpin she made, and bit her red lips lightly.

"Second sister-in-law, I like you!"

However, uncle's loud praise came from the yard.

Is she really good?

Second Aunt Xiao picked up the hairpin and was in a daze.

In the afternoon, Xiao Le also went down to the ground.

He looks like a worm, Xiao's mother said, and he moved forward a few times.

I saw Xiao's father picking up a hoe and chasing after him.

Of course it was a joke.

The smile on Xiao's mother's face has not come down now, because Xiao Le just gave her a bank note at noon, which is 100 taels!

Enough for their family to live well for a lifetime.

But Xiao Le quickly gave her a sense of crisis, "Mother, our house hasn't been repaired yet, has it? This big tile-roofed house with blue bricks, except for two side rooms, has to have four main rooms and one main room. How much money do you need to spend?"

While enjoying the cool, Xiao Le asked.

Mother Xiao's brows became tighter and tighter following his words.

"The house where Mo Dalang lives now," Xiao's father squinted his eyes and thought for a while, "It cost nearly 50 taels back then, and the bed, cabinets, tables, chairs and benches in the house cost another ten taels of silver, which is more than 60 taels. .”

An ordinary family of three lives a good life, and only spends three taels of silver in a year.

A young and middle-aged man, like Brother Xiao, earns five taels of silver at most from a year away from home.

It is not easy to repair a house with 60 yuan.

"The second elder brother and the second sister-in-law will still have dolls in the future. The boys have to be sent to study, right? That's a lot of money for a year of study, and the girls have to be sent to enlightenment, plus learn other things around them? That also costs money. A lot of silver."

Xiao Le counted more and more, Xiao's mother hurriedly pressed his hand, "Don't forget, why is this money so careless!"

After listening to Mrs. Xiao and Sister Xiao, they also felt that the cost was a bit high.

Mother Xiao's originally smiling face suddenly became clouded.

"Mom, what I just counted was spending money, not earning money." Xiao Le smiled and hammered Xiao's mother on the shoulders, "It's just me, you don't have to worry about your pension money, the house, my second brother and I With half the money for each person, it can be repaired together.”

"Second brother, he wants to open an accessories store in the county. In order to earn more money, of course the second sister-in-law has to go. At least one hundred taels a year, right? Maybe it will be more, and the money for the child will come, right? ?"

When Mother Xiao heard Xiao Le say that Second Sister-in-law Xiao was going to the county with her at noon, she felt somewhat uncomfortable. Now that she heard this, she nodded again and again, "I have to go. You said it. Most of the accessories are for girls. You two Brother is not considerate enough to be the shopkeeper."

"That's right," Xiao Le blinked at Second Sister Xiao, and Second Sister Xiao chuckled.

Xiao's mother looked over, and Xiao's second sister-in-law quickly stopped laughing.

"What are you afraid of? This is a matter of earning money. It's all for the Xiao family. Can I stop it? Laugh if you want."

After Xiao's mother finished speaking, Second Aunt Xiao couldn't help laughing.

This made everyone laugh.

"Then there is the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law. The eldest brother-in-law works as a bookkeeper in a restaurant in the town. The eldest sister can rent a small shop and sell accessories, just like county goods. Regardless of how much you earn a year, in the long run, no matter what How about buying a small yard in the town?"

Sister Xiao's heart was also moved when she heard the words.

Xiao's mother and Xiao's father looked at each other and looked at Xiao Le, "You arranged them clearly, what about you? Have you ever thought about getting married? Have you thought about children? Just keep drawing that thing, sooner or later I can’t figure it out, it’s better to learn some skills.”

"Brother Mo Cheng and I will do it together," Xiao Leqing coughed, "As for what to do, we will report to you after discussing it."

When Xiao Le arrived at the appointed place at night, Mo Cheng was already feeding the mosquitoes there.

"I'm late?"

Xiao Le was puzzled.

"No, I came early," Mo Cheng looked down at him, "Da Ya and Xiao Ya like the things you bought very much. The two pieces of cloth you bought, the younger sister said that I can't make clothes for the time being. When it's cold, I can make clothes." Underclothes are for the children to wear inside."

Not eye-catching.

Mrs. Xue has been staring at them.

"I don't know how to make clothes," Xiao Le held Mo Cheng's hand, "but I know how to make hairpins, how about I make one for you?"

"it is good."

Mo Cheng was naturally happy.

At this time, Fourth Lady Xue was pouring wine for Xue Silang.

Xue Silang has lost a lot of weight.

He was weak all over, and the old injury was still aching, so he could only look at her with hatred.

"Don't look at me like that," Mrs. Xue put the wine bowl aside, "Don't you like to drink? I feed you every day, isn't it enough?"

Xue Silang whined and trembled all over.

"Compared to your beatings, what am I?"

Mrs. Xue raised her hand and brushed away the broken hair on his forehead, "Silang, if I hadn't been soft-hearted, you would have died a long time ago."

These words made Xue Silang stunned.

"You're already like this, of course I can make you die without anyone noticing it," Mrs. Xue's eyes were red, and tears soon fell down on Xue Silang's cheeks, "But I can't bear it."

"You are my husband and the father of my child. No matter how much I hate you, I don't want you to die." Mrs. Xue Si put her head on Xue Silang's chest, "It's fine if you stay with me like this .”

After Xue Silang heard her words, the hatred in his eyes suddenly lost more than half.

But Fourth Lady Xue, who was buried on his chest, spoke love words expressionlessly.

After she wiped Xue Silang's body and went out, Xue Silang tilted his head to look at the hairpin beside the pillow.

This is Mrs. Xue who accidentally left aside when she wiped his body for him the day before yesterday.

It was hard for him to hide it.

He just wanted to save his strength, and when Miss Xue wiped his body, he would bite the hairpin with his mouth so as not to kill her or hurt her.

But now, he hesitated.

He didn't know that Mrs. Xue Si left the hairpin on purpose.

What he said just now was naturally thought of in advance.

It's just because Mrs. Xue came to her from time to time recently, and what she said revealed that although Xue Silang was paralyzed, it wasn't that he couldn't come out to bask in the sun, and asked her not to keep him in the room.

This person can't hide, so he has to show it.

His mouth is uncontrollable.

But Fourth Lady Xue has a lot of ideas.

The next day, Fourth Lady Xue carried Xue Silang back to the main room with great difficulty, and let him lie on the chair, "I was thinking about it before, and I need to let you bask in the sun more."

But Xue Silang, who hadn't seen the sun for a long time, was suddenly hit by the sun, and his eyes almost disappeared.

When Mo Cheng came to the door, he saw Xue Silang lying on the chair half dead, with his sister crying beside him.

"what happened?"

"Brother," Fourth Lady Xue hurriedly called for help.

Mo Cheng twisted up Xue Silang's collar expressionlessly, and threw him back on the bed.

Then he took out two coins and put them on the cabinet, "Take it and buy some good vegetables and meat."

He bought it, but Mrs. Xue didn't want it.

Xue Silang turned his head with difficulty.

"Brother," Fourth Lady Xue lowered her head and wiped her tears, "Your life is hard on your own, so don't think about your sister."

"I see that the child is skinny," Mo Cheng walked to the bed, and looked coldly at the terrified Xue Silang, "With him like this, it is impossible to have another child, and if you don't raise the two girls well, you I haven't got anything in my life."

Only then did Fourth Lady Xue accept the money.

After Mo Cheng left, Fourth Lady Xue lay on top of him and cried again.

This made Xue Silang cry completely and feel uncomfortable.

That's right, I can't have children anymore, so what if I expose the fact of why I am paralyzed in the village?

He is still a paralyzed man, even if the old lady is angry, under Mo Dalang's obstruction, she may not be able to touch fourth lady Xue, and even make Mo Dalang angry and let them make up.

At that time, my wife will be gone, the children will not be able to take care of them, and no one will wipe myself.

I'm afraid I won't live long.

After all, since the accident, the old lady has only visited the old house once.

Xue Silang closed his eyes.

Since then, Fourth Lady Xue could clearly feel that Xue Silang was no longer so irritable, and even cooperated with her to wipe himself, and she didn't have to down the wine, he just drank it when it was brought.

You won't be disgusted with eating, and you can eat whatever you give.

Also smiling at the child.

So when Xiao Le and Mo Cheng went to Xue's house and saw Xue Silang lying in the yard, smiling and watching the children play, he rubbed his eyes.
