Dressed as the uncle of farming culture
Chapter 35
After staring at Mo Zhiqing for a while, Xiao Le suddenly raised his hand that was covered with stone chips, and rubbed his nephrite-like ears, "Mo Zhiqing, are you talking?"
Looking at the human-like appearance, why did you speak so fiercely?
Mo Zhiqing raised his hand and pushed his glasses, and said with a smile, "Did I not speak clearly enough?"
"It's very clear," Xiao Le nodded, "I don't know if you work fiercely or not, but what you said made me think that you are very fierce."
"is it?"
Mo Zhiqing bent down and lifted the slate with both hands, and Xiao Le also followed to lift the slate.
His strength is great because he has drawn great strength, but Mo Zhiqing's strength is his own. Although it is not as good as Xiao Le's cheating body, it can still beat ordinary people by several feet.
"Mo Zhiqing, where did you come from?"
"Sucheng," Mo Zhiqing replied softly, "We have a lot of fishermen, and few of us can see such a large area of mountains and fields."
"Then can you eat fish every day?"
"Yes."
A smile flashed across Mo Zhiqing's eyes, and he looked at Xiao Le who was full of slander, "Do you like fish?"
"I love to eat," Xiao Le nodded, "Braised in soy sauce, steamed, I like them all."
"I'm good at making fish." Mo Zhiqing pushed the stone slab to the edge of the masonry, Xiao Le let go of his hand, and the stone slab fell smoothly, and others immediately supported him and began to build the stone wall. "If you have time, I will make it for you you eat."
"Then I'll make a lot of money," Xiao Le grinned, "You can't lie to me."
"I will not trick you."
Working with Mo Zhiqing will not feel boring, because Mo Zhiqing is very good at chatting, and when he talks to Xiao Le, he will chat along the places Xiao Le is interested in.
Xiao Le speaks vigorously, and Mo Zhiqing can also get to know the little comrade in front of him better through these.
When Father Xiao and Xiao Le were walking home after work at noon, Father Xiao took a special look at Xiao Le's shoulder and found that there was no bleeding, so he was relieved and patted his shoulder and said.
"I was still worried in the morning, and you were working hard with Xiao Ming again. Later, when I saw you and Mo Zhiqing working together, I felt more at ease."
"Dad, don't underestimate Mo Zhiqing," Xiao Le raised his hand and patted his arm, winking at Xiao Dad, "Mo Zhiqing has a piece of meat! It's very strong!"
"How did you see him wearing a long coat?"
"As soon as he exerted force," Xiao Le gestured, "That piece of meat bulged up! I'm so greedy, no, I'm so envious..."
Almost told the truth.
Xiao Le bit his lip in annoyance.
"Why are you envious of him?" Dad Xiao comforted him, "You will have it sooner or later, as long as you work hard, look, this morning, you will have four work points."
"Yeah," Xiao Le triumphantly put his little hands behind his back, "I don't know how many work points my sister-in-law earned this morning."
Seeing his embarrassing appearance, Father Xiao was both happy and helpless.
But it's still better for the daughter-in-law to tie this kid at home.
"Sister-in-law, I got four work points, how about you?"
As soon as he got home, he ran into the kitchen and asked Wei Meihua who was cooking.
"I have three work points."
As soon as Wei Meihua finished speaking, Xiao Le laughed out loud.
Xiao Ma, who was washing the vegetables, said coldly, "Your sister-in-law will come back early to cook, or can it be three work points?"
Xiao Le's laughter stopped abruptly, and his face suddenly burned. After dawdling a few times at the door of the stove, he entered the room and sat in front of the stove door, "I'll help you light the stove."
Yingying ran to his side and handed him firewood from time to time. She especially liked to help pass things.
After eating, the family slept for about half an hour before going to work.
The sun is even stronger in the afternoon, so after working for a while, everyone will sit down and have a rest, otherwise it is not worthwhile to suffer from heatstroke and hurt the body.
Xiao Le is the best at finding a place in this regard. He took Mo Zhiqing to sit on the ridge above the big banyan tree in the back room of the granary. There are several big trees behind him. A few leaves fell on their shoulders along the wind.
"The wind here is the most comfortable," Xiao Le propped his hands on the ground behind him, feeling the warm summer wind comfortably.
Mo Zhiqing looked at him sideways, "The injury on your shoulder is healed?"
"It's a scar," Xiao Le smiled at him, "There is new skin growing inside, so it's a little itchy."
"Don't scratch," Mo Zhiqing reminded, "It's easiest to scratch when you're sleeping."
"I'm very honest when I'm sleeping," Xiao Le bared his white teeth, "Mo Zhiqing, I heard that the Zhiqing Office is a bit crowded. Are you and Li Zhiqing living in the main room?"
"The main room can be used for people," Mo Zhiqing looked at the villagers talking not far away, and the children bouncing around. "Besides, it's getting hotter and hotter, so the main room is cooler."
"That's right," Xiao Le pursed his lips, retracted his hand, and put it in front of him, "The bed in my house is for one person, otherwise you wouldn't have to squeeze in the educated youth center."
"Squeeze with you?"
Mo Zhiqing laughed, "We only met three times in total, and you want to invite me to sleep in your room?"
"You and I hit it off right away," Xiao Le looked at him solemnly, "I don't have any friends, and you are my first friend."
"What about Zhao Jianlin?"
Mo Zhiqing's words startled Xiao Le.
"What, what Zhao Jianlin?"
"I heard people say that you and Comrade Zhao Jianlin from the village often play together, and you don't even come to work."
"Who said that? Nonsense," Xiao Le shook his head solemnly, "I have a normal acquaintance with him, and I love working now, no one can stop my heart that wants to work!"
Mo Zhiqing pushed his glasses, "Work is the most glorious."
"Yes, labor is the most glorious thing. I love labor, and I was born for labor!" Xiao Le became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally got up directly and went to the granary, "I'm going to work!"
The sound was so loud that Xiao Ming, who was still resting, also got up after hearing the words, "It's work, it's work."
So Mo Zhiqing saw that everyone hadn't rested yet, so he started to stand in his original position and do his own work.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Xiao Le who was standing beside the stone slab and waved at him fiercely, got up and walked over.
"His second aunt, I heard that Xiao Le went to work at the granary?"
Mama Xiao, who tends the wasteland here, was talking to Wei Meihua when she heard a familiar voice.
She frowned slightly, and she didn't want to take care of the other party, but when she thought of the scene where the other party ran on her on weekdays, she couldn't help but look up.
She smiled and said, "Oh, don't tell me, this kid didn't want to go to work in the past, but after going there one day and earning ten work points, hey, it can't be stopped, he will go to work! He Third aunt, your Xiao Kang has been in town for a few days, right? He hasn’t come back yet?”
Third Aunt Xiao twitched her mouth. Her youngest son is only one year younger than Xiao Le. Although he is also a jerk, he is just a bit playful. He doesn't have as many problems as Xiao Le. Originally, she could still lose money on this matter. The second sister-in-law said a few words, now that Xiao Le suddenly made progress, she felt uncomfortable.
No, I happened to be working on the barren mountain today, and when I saw Mama Xiao, I couldn't help asking.
"That boy is not as obedient as Xiao Le," Third Aunt Xiao didn't know that the smile on her face was uglier than crying, but Xiao's mother just liked to see her smiling face.
"Oh, that's true," Xiao's mother waved her hand, "You don't know how bad Xiao Le is? Didn't you often say that although Xiao Kang is one year younger than Xiao Le, he seems to be younger than Xiao Le?" He is as old as he is, some things are very clear in his mind, and he doesn't want our Xiao Le, tsk."
Xiao's mother shook her head, her tone was extremely eccentric.
Several people not far away turned their heads and looked at them several times.
Wei Meihua lowered her head and went about her work without participating in a word.
After all, the mother-in-law and the third aunt have been very at odds since they married into the Xiao family. This is something that the Xiao family knows.
"Second sister-in-law, I have no other intentions," Third Aunt Xiao held back her breath, took a deep breath to relieve the depression in her heart, and then asked cheekily in a low voice, "I just want to inquire, Xiao Le...why Why are you so obedient all of a sudden?"
If he can learn experience, he can also tidy up his own Xiao Kang in a docile manner.
"To tell you the truth," Xiao's mother replied solemnly, "Our Xiao Le has grown up suddenly, and I want him to be naughty, but he doesn't want to. What's the matter? It's really gratifying."
These words almost made Aunt Xiao vomit blood out of anger, and after she stamped her feet fiercely, she returned to her work place angrily.
Seeing this, her eldest daughter-in-law whispered, "Mom, what are you and the second aunt doing with this anger?"
Third Aunt Xiao's eldest daughter-in-law came from her natal village, and they were very close. She gritted her teeth, "Didn't I have the upper hand that time before? Now Xiao Le just went to work for two days, so he just looks embarrassed." Just wait, I see that kid can live in peace for a few days!"
And Xiao's mother here was very proud, she smiled and said to Wei Meihua, "Did you see your third aunt's face? She turned blue with anger!"
"She used to be mad at you a lot."
Wei Meihua told the truth.
Speaking of the main conflict between the two, it was not the first few years when Mama Xiao married into the Xiao family, but that when Brother Xiao was seriously ill, Mama Xiao and Papa Xiao borrowed money from the old man for medical treatment. It's five dollars.
But when Father Xiao went to get the money in the afternoon, he was told not to borrow it.
Xiao's mother later found out that it was Third Aunt Xiao who heard that they had borrowed money and hurried to persuade the old man not to waste the money. Why bother to spend the money when the child is seriously ill and cannot be saved.
Brother Xiao was indeed seriously ill at that time, otherwise he would not have been sent to the county hospital.
"Just wait, our children must be more promising than hers."
In fact, Brother Xiao has already won a game for Xiao Ma, because Brother Xiao is more promising than the eldest son of the third aunt, but he lost another game with the younger son.
Over the years, the two have often faced each other.
One second they were laughing and talking, and the next they were pointing at Sang and scolding Huai with cold faces.
When he returned home in the evening with a slightly tired body, Xiao Le heard Xiao's mother laughing and talking about how she made Aunt Xiao's face turn blue with anger.
Xiao Le applauded directly, and said loudly, "Mom is mighty! Well done!"
If the original owner put the idea on Yingying's head, and Aunt Xiao San's handwriting was included, she didn't directly ask the original owner to do anything, but her words were instructive.
After Yingying's accident, Aunt Xiao also felt fear and guilt, and she didn't confront Xiao's mother in the next few years.
"So you have to live up to Mom! Let's get to work hard, and don't be picky on the way!"
Mother Xiao took the opportunity to teach.
"I made a bet with my sister-in-law," Xiao Le pouted, "Can I not go to work? Besides, Xiao Kang can compete with me?"
"You don't look as good as me?"
Xiao Le pointed to his face.
"Not as tall as me?"
Xiao Le gestured at Xiao Kang's height again, about to reach his shoulders, Xiao Kang looked like Uncle Xiao, not very tall.
"How did you say it?" After all, it was his own nephew, Father Xiao felt that this meant his own brother, and immediately frowned.
"Look, you look," Xiao's mother sneered, and said to Wei Meihua and the others, "Look at your dad, if we say that the Xiao family is not good at all, he will be upset immediately."
"Don't argue with him!" Xiao Le stepped forward and pulled Mama Xiao into the kitchen, "Mom, I want egg custard."
Yingying rattled behind him.
Xiao Le added, "It's not that I want to eat, it's that Yingying is greedy, so bring me some by the way."
"Bah, you're such an adult, you still compete with children for food."
Xiao's mother laughed and scolded him, but in the end she took three eggs out, added some water, steamed them into frangipani flowers, added some sesame oil inside, and it was delicious.
"Dad, don't you want to eat?"
Everyone ate a few wooden spoons of frangipani, but Father Xiao didn't do anything.
"Why, after I said a few words to you, are you still angry?"
Mama Xiao stared.
Father Xiao snorted softly, but still scooped up the frangipani flower, "You can't say that, if I talk about your natal family, would you be happy?"
"My natal family doesn't have as many affairs as your two brothers' family."
Grandma Xiao has five children in total, four sons and one daughter. Father Xiao is the second child, and the fifth child has passed away. The relationship between the eldest and the third child is still good after the separation of the family. Only Father Xiao is in the house. Go to those two.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel over someone else's affairs, Xiao Le put down the bowl and chopsticks with a snap.
He said with a sullen face to the two who came over, "Look at you, how old are you, why are you still arguing over these trivial things? You look mature at all, Dad, you are a man, how can you argue with Mom?" What about those things? Man, it can't be like this."
The corners of Father Xiao's mouth twitched slightly, and Mother Xiao felt very relieved when she heard the words.
"Listen, listen! My son is more considerate than you!"
"Mom, do you think you're right?"
Xiao Le frowned, "Dad still doesn't know who the three aunts are? He knows, but he doesn't tell! But he doesn't visit those two families on weekdays. It's clear in his heart, and he doesn't say anything. Smart guy, isn't he, Dad?"
"Since when did your kid talk so much?"
Father Xiao glared at him.
"Who am I?"
Xiao Le pointed to himself, "I am Xiao Le who is more promising than Xiao Kang!"
Xiao Ma, who was still a little uncomfortable in her heart, suddenly laughed at these words.
"Okay, let's eat, don't hurt your family's affection because of people you are not close to."
Wei Meihua said suddenly.
The words touched Xiao's mother's heart, and she glared at Xiao's father again, but she did not forget to scoop him a wooden spoon of frangipani.
Father Xiao looked at the frangipani in the bowl, then looked up at Mother Xiao, and finally enjoyed it with a smile.
After eating, Xiao Le took Yingying to hide cats and cats in the yard.
Of course Yingying lost every time.
But she was happy, she was the only child in the family, but the laughter sounded as if several children were playing with her.
Wei Meihua, who had just come out of the shower, looked at Yingying, who was in high spirits and sweating profusely, and did not disturb her. It was not until Xiao Le saw that she could not run anymore that she beckoned Yingying to come over and fetch water for her to wash. head in the shower.
When sleeping, Xiao's mother sat on the bed, looking at Xiao's father with his eyes closed and rested.
After not speaking for a long time, Father Xiao opened his eyes helplessly, "Turn off the oil lamp if you don't sleep, don't you like people to waste the most?"
"What's the use of saving money by myself," Xiao's mother said quietly.
Father Xiao sat up, blew out the oil lamp, took her callused hand, and said softly, "I only have that temper. You haven't understood it enough these years?"
"Then you have to remember that when Dad separated us, we got a few broken bowls and shared a thin quilt. There was only one room in this house, and it was a woodshed that no one else wanted. Now it's built like this. It’s not that we gritted our teeth and survived.”
Xiao's mother choked up and said, "They are all sons, because we don't know how to make the elderly happy, and we gave them all the good things when we separated, but we did the most work in the whole family. Did they ever feel sorry for you when you couldn't even lift the bowl?"
"Okay, okay," Dad Xiao hugged her, "It's my fault, I was wrong, let's go to sleep, we have to go to work tomorrow."
"But what my son said is right," Xiao's mother leaned in his arms and smiled, "No matter what you do, you didn't go to their house to hang around, because you know in your heart that there is a scale."
Father Xiao didn't say anything, but she hugged her even tighter.
Early the next morning, when Xiao Le yawned and left the room, he saw Wei Meihua not helping Yingying in the kitchen, but braiding Yingying's hair in the yard.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Le suddenly felt something was wrong, and asked softly.
"Mom and dad are busy in the kitchen," Wei Meihua said with a rare smile.
Xiao Le sneaked to the door of the kitchen, listened carefully, and immediately walked away rubbing the goose bumps on his arms. When he passed by Wei Meihua's mother and daughter, he muttered something.
"You and big brother are not as sticky as they are."
Wei Meihua picked up Yingying's shuttlecock and threw it over.
Fortunately, Xiao Le ran away after speaking.
Yingying quickly went to get the shuttlecock back, "Niu Niu is playing."
"When playing with Niuniu, don't go into the river, remember?"
This is almost what Wei Meihua talks to Yingying every day.
"know."
Yingying nodded and hugged the shuttlecock tightly.
Mo Zhiqing came to the granary, and what he saw was a little comrade wearing a horse-straw hat.
Xiao Ming and several other youths were surrounding him curiously.
"How do you wear this thing like a child?"
Xiao Le rolled his eyes, and raised his hand to fiddle with the slightly long grass in front of his forehead, "I don't know if this can shade the sun? I'm so handsome, even though I'm tanned, but I just want Bai Jun, not Hei Jun! "
"Handsome is handsome, what's the difference between white and black?"
Xiao Ming raised his hand and looked at his black hand, "Girls like me too."
"Which girl?"
"Yes, which girl?"
"There's something wrong with the kid."
Xiao Ming's face suddenly turned black and red.
And Mo Zhiqing waved to Xiao Le who was adjusting the straw hat.
"Mo Zhiqing, you are a bit late today," Xiao Le trotted over, with the straw hat on his head bouncing, looking very cute.
"I have something to do at the moment." Mo Zhiqing raised his hand and touched Xiao Le's straw hat without starting work at this time, "How do you do it?"
"It's very simple, let me teach you?"
Xiao Le went to find Ma Cao again, and in front of Mo Zhiqing, quickly made a new straw hat and handed it over.
At the same time, those young people also took Xiao Ming to find Ma Cao, but the handwork was not very good, so they begged Xiao Le to weave it for them.
Wearing the straw hat that Xiao Legang made, Mo Zhiqing, who was in a good mood, smiled and said, "I just learned it. Let me teach you. After you learn it, you can make a straw hat for your sweetheart in the future."
These words moved Xiao Le's ears, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. Standing beside Mo Zhiqing, he watched with a smile as he taught those people how to weave straw hats.
"What's wrong with this new educated youth? Why do you teach people to make things for children?"
When the person who had just arrived saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"They're all children."
The slightly older person looked at the group of young people and smiled.
"Are there any children with Adam's Apple?"
Regardless of what they say, Xiao Ming and the others already know the benefits of this straw hat when they are working.
After a while, the horse straw hat was not only popular among young people and girls, but children also fell in love with it. It can be said that Xiao Le single-handedly promoted the fashion style of their production team.
"Tomorrow is your in-laws celebrating the new year, right?"
Happy New Year is the meaning of the other party's birthday.
During dinner at night, Mama Xiao suddenly said to Wei Meihua.
Wei Meihua gave Yingying a hand that picked up the food, then put the food in Yingying's bowl, and said softly, "Well, I won't go."
Mother Xiao and Father Xiao looked at each other.
When he was about to persuade him, Xiao Le said, "If you want me, I won't go. If you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. What kind of life did sister-in-law and her sister live in the past? They don't remember, we have to remember, sister-in-law You are now a member of our family, so you don't have to go back and suffer that anger!"
"What are you talking about?" Xiao's mother kicked Xiao Le under the dinner table.
"Uncle is right," Wei Meihua rarely agreed with Xiao Le's words, "Mom and Dad, am I the Xiao family now?"
"Of course you are." Although Xiao's mother was a little upset that her reincarnation failed, she never thought about letting Brother Xiao change his wife. When it's time, let the boss bring some gifts over."
No matter how you say it, you still have to work hard on this aspect.
At night, after Wei Meihua put Yingying to sleep, she sat alone at the door of the room to blow the air.
When Xiao Le got up at night, she was almost scared to death by her.
"Sister-in-law, do you know that people scare people to death?"
"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, doesn't my uncle know this sentence?" Because of Xiao Le's words at the dinner table, Wei Meihua's attitude towards him was much better.
"It's one thing to know, it's another thing to be scared," Xiao Le scratched his head, he didn't even have the thought of getting up at night, "Why don't you go to sleep?"
"Sleep right away."
Wei Meihua got up and prepared to go in.
"Sister-in-law," Xiao Le called to stop her, "Don't think about those bad things, you won't eat his food now."
Wei Meihua was taken aback for a moment, but when she turned around, she saw that Xiao Le had already returned to her room leisurely.
Looking at the human-like appearance, why did you speak so fiercely?
Mo Zhiqing raised his hand and pushed his glasses, and said with a smile, "Did I not speak clearly enough?"
"It's very clear," Xiao Le nodded, "I don't know if you work fiercely or not, but what you said made me think that you are very fierce."
"is it?"
Mo Zhiqing bent down and lifted the slate with both hands, and Xiao Le also followed to lift the slate.
His strength is great because he has drawn great strength, but Mo Zhiqing's strength is his own. Although it is not as good as Xiao Le's cheating body, it can still beat ordinary people by several feet.
"Mo Zhiqing, where did you come from?"
"Sucheng," Mo Zhiqing replied softly, "We have a lot of fishermen, and few of us can see such a large area of mountains and fields."
"Then can you eat fish every day?"
"Yes."
A smile flashed across Mo Zhiqing's eyes, and he looked at Xiao Le who was full of slander, "Do you like fish?"
"I love to eat," Xiao Le nodded, "Braised in soy sauce, steamed, I like them all."
"I'm good at making fish." Mo Zhiqing pushed the stone slab to the edge of the masonry, Xiao Le let go of his hand, and the stone slab fell smoothly, and others immediately supported him and began to build the stone wall. "If you have time, I will make it for you you eat."
"Then I'll make a lot of money," Xiao Le grinned, "You can't lie to me."
"I will not trick you."
Working with Mo Zhiqing will not feel boring, because Mo Zhiqing is very good at chatting, and when he talks to Xiao Le, he will chat along the places Xiao Le is interested in.
Xiao Le speaks vigorously, and Mo Zhiqing can also get to know the little comrade in front of him better through these.
When Father Xiao and Xiao Le were walking home after work at noon, Father Xiao took a special look at Xiao Le's shoulder and found that there was no bleeding, so he was relieved and patted his shoulder and said.
"I was still worried in the morning, and you were working hard with Xiao Ming again. Later, when I saw you and Mo Zhiqing working together, I felt more at ease."
"Dad, don't underestimate Mo Zhiqing," Xiao Le raised his hand and patted his arm, winking at Xiao Dad, "Mo Zhiqing has a piece of meat! It's very strong!"
"How did you see him wearing a long coat?"
"As soon as he exerted force," Xiao Le gestured, "That piece of meat bulged up! I'm so greedy, no, I'm so envious..."
Almost told the truth.
Xiao Le bit his lip in annoyance.
"Why are you envious of him?" Dad Xiao comforted him, "You will have it sooner or later, as long as you work hard, look, this morning, you will have four work points."
"Yeah," Xiao Le triumphantly put his little hands behind his back, "I don't know how many work points my sister-in-law earned this morning."
Seeing his embarrassing appearance, Father Xiao was both happy and helpless.
But it's still better for the daughter-in-law to tie this kid at home.
"Sister-in-law, I got four work points, how about you?"
As soon as he got home, he ran into the kitchen and asked Wei Meihua who was cooking.
"I have three work points."
As soon as Wei Meihua finished speaking, Xiao Le laughed out loud.
Xiao Ma, who was washing the vegetables, said coldly, "Your sister-in-law will come back early to cook, or can it be three work points?"
Xiao Le's laughter stopped abruptly, and his face suddenly burned. After dawdling a few times at the door of the stove, he entered the room and sat in front of the stove door, "I'll help you light the stove."
Yingying ran to his side and handed him firewood from time to time. She especially liked to help pass things.
After eating, the family slept for about half an hour before going to work.
The sun is even stronger in the afternoon, so after working for a while, everyone will sit down and have a rest, otherwise it is not worthwhile to suffer from heatstroke and hurt the body.
Xiao Le is the best at finding a place in this regard. He took Mo Zhiqing to sit on the ridge above the big banyan tree in the back room of the granary. There are several big trees behind him. A few leaves fell on their shoulders along the wind.
"The wind here is the most comfortable," Xiao Le propped his hands on the ground behind him, feeling the warm summer wind comfortably.
Mo Zhiqing looked at him sideways, "The injury on your shoulder is healed?"
"It's a scar," Xiao Le smiled at him, "There is new skin growing inside, so it's a little itchy."
"Don't scratch," Mo Zhiqing reminded, "It's easiest to scratch when you're sleeping."
"I'm very honest when I'm sleeping," Xiao Le bared his white teeth, "Mo Zhiqing, I heard that the Zhiqing Office is a bit crowded. Are you and Li Zhiqing living in the main room?"
"The main room can be used for people," Mo Zhiqing looked at the villagers talking not far away, and the children bouncing around. "Besides, it's getting hotter and hotter, so the main room is cooler."
"That's right," Xiao Le pursed his lips, retracted his hand, and put it in front of him, "The bed in my house is for one person, otherwise you wouldn't have to squeeze in the educated youth center."
"Squeeze with you?"
Mo Zhiqing laughed, "We only met three times in total, and you want to invite me to sleep in your room?"
"You and I hit it off right away," Xiao Le looked at him solemnly, "I don't have any friends, and you are my first friend."
"What about Zhao Jianlin?"
Mo Zhiqing's words startled Xiao Le.
"What, what Zhao Jianlin?"
"I heard people say that you and Comrade Zhao Jianlin from the village often play together, and you don't even come to work."
"Who said that? Nonsense," Xiao Le shook his head solemnly, "I have a normal acquaintance with him, and I love working now, no one can stop my heart that wants to work!"
Mo Zhiqing pushed his glasses, "Work is the most glorious."
"Yes, labor is the most glorious thing. I love labor, and I was born for labor!" Xiao Le became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally got up directly and went to the granary, "I'm going to work!"
The sound was so loud that Xiao Ming, who was still resting, also got up after hearing the words, "It's work, it's work."
So Mo Zhiqing saw that everyone hadn't rested yet, so he started to stand in his original position and do his own work.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Xiao Le who was standing beside the stone slab and waved at him fiercely, got up and walked over.
"His second aunt, I heard that Xiao Le went to work at the granary?"
Mama Xiao, who tends the wasteland here, was talking to Wei Meihua when she heard a familiar voice.
She frowned slightly, and she didn't want to take care of the other party, but when she thought of the scene where the other party ran on her on weekdays, she couldn't help but look up.
She smiled and said, "Oh, don't tell me, this kid didn't want to go to work in the past, but after going there one day and earning ten work points, hey, it can't be stopped, he will go to work! He Third aunt, your Xiao Kang has been in town for a few days, right? He hasn’t come back yet?”
Third Aunt Xiao twitched her mouth. Her youngest son is only one year younger than Xiao Le. Although he is also a jerk, he is just a bit playful. He doesn't have as many problems as Xiao Le. Originally, she could still lose money on this matter. The second sister-in-law said a few words, now that Xiao Le suddenly made progress, she felt uncomfortable.
No, I happened to be working on the barren mountain today, and when I saw Mama Xiao, I couldn't help asking.
"That boy is not as obedient as Xiao Le," Third Aunt Xiao didn't know that the smile on her face was uglier than crying, but Xiao's mother just liked to see her smiling face.
"Oh, that's true," Xiao's mother waved her hand, "You don't know how bad Xiao Le is? Didn't you often say that although Xiao Kang is one year younger than Xiao Le, he seems to be younger than Xiao Le?" He is as old as he is, some things are very clear in his mind, and he doesn't want our Xiao Le, tsk."
Xiao's mother shook her head, her tone was extremely eccentric.
Several people not far away turned their heads and looked at them several times.
Wei Meihua lowered her head and went about her work without participating in a word.
After all, the mother-in-law and the third aunt have been very at odds since they married into the Xiao family. This is something that the Xiao family knows.
"Second sister-in-law, I have no other intentions," Third Aunt Xiao held back her breath, took a deep breath to relieve the depression in her heart, and then asked cheekily in a low voice, "I just want to inquire, Xiao Le...why Why are you so obedient all of a sudden?"
If he can learn experience, he can also tidy up his own Xiao Kang in a docile manner.
"To tell you the truth," Xiao's mother replied solemnly, "Our Xiao Le has grown up suddenly, and I want him to be naughty, but he doesn't want to. What's the matter? It's really gratifying."
These words almost made Aunt Xiao vomit blood out of anger, and after she stamped her feet fiercely, she returned to her work place angrily.
Seeing this, her eldest daughter-in-law whispered, "Mom, what are you and the second aunt doing with this anger?"
Third Aunt Xiao's eldest daughter-in-law came from her natal village, and they were very close. She gritted her teeth, "Didn't I have the upper hand that time before? Now Xiao Le just went to work for two days, so he just looks embarrassed." Just wait, I see that kid can live in peace for a few days!"
And Xiao's mother here was very proud, she smiled and said to Wei Meihua, "Did you see your third aunt's face? She turned blue with anger!"
"She used to be mad at you a lot."
Wei Meihua told the truth.
Speaking of the main conflict between the two, it was not the first few years when Mama Xiao married into the Xiao family, but that when Brother Xiao was seriously ill, Mama Xiao and Papa Xiao borrowed money from the old man for medical treatment. It's five dollars.
But when Father Xiao went to get the money in the afternoon, he was told not to borrow it.
Xiao's mother later found out that it was Third Aunt Xiao who heard that they had borrowed money and hurried to persuade the old man not to waste the money. Why bother to spend the money when the child is seriously ill and cannot be saved.
Brother Xiao was indeed seriously ill at that time, otherwise he would not have been sent to the county hospital.
"Just wait, our children must be more promising than hers."
In fact, Brother Xiao has already won a game for Xiao Ma, because Brother Xiao is more promising than the eldest son of the third aunt, but he lost another game with the younger son.
Over the years, the two have often faced each other.
One second they were laughing and talking, and the next they were pointing at Sang and scolding Huai with cold faces.
When he returned home in the evening with a slightly tired body, Xiao Le heard Xiao's mother laughing and talking about how she made Aunt Xiao's face turn blue with anger.
Xiao Le applauded directly, and said loudly, "Mom is mighty! Well done!"
If the original owner put the idea on Yingying's head, and Aunt Xiao San's handwriting was included, she didn't directly ask the original owner to do anything, but her words were instructive.
After Yingying's accident, Aunt Xiao also felt fear and guilt, and she didn't confront Xiao's mother in the next few years.
"So you have to live up to Mom! Let's get to work hard, and don't be picky on the way!"
Mother Xiao took the opportunity to teach.
"I made a bet with my sister-in-law," Xiao Le pouted, "Can I not go to work? Besides, Xiao Kang can compete with me?"
"You don't look as good as me?"
Xiao Le pointed to his face.
"Not as tall as me?"
Xiao Le gestured at Xiao Kang's height again, about to reach his shoulders, Xiao Kang looked like Uncle Xiao, not very tall.
"How did you say it?" After all, it was his own nephew, Father Xiao felt that this meant his own brother, and immediately frowned.
"Look, you look," Xiao's mother sneered, and said to Wei Meihua and the others, "Look at your dad, if we say that the Xiao family is not good at all, he will be upset immediately."
"Don't argue with him!" Xiao Le stepped forward and pulled Mama Xiao into the kitchen, "Mom, I want egg custard."
Yingying rattled behind him.
Xiao Le added, "It's not that I want to eat, it's that Yingying is greedy, so bring me some by the way."
"Bah, you're such an adult, you still compete with children for food."
Xiao's mother laughed and scolded him, but in the end she took three eggs out, added some water, steamed them into frangipani flowers, added some sesame oil inside, and it was delicious.
"Dad, don't you want to eat?"
Everyone ate a few wooden spoons of frangipani, but Father Xiao didn't do anything.
"Why, after I said a few words to you, are you still angry?"
Mama Xiao stared.
Father Xiao snorted softly, but still scooped up the frangipani flower, "You can't say that, if I talk about your natal family, would you be happy?"
"My natal family doesn't have as many affairs as your two brothers' family."
Grandma Xiao has five children in total, four sons and one daughter. Father Xiao is the second child, and the fifth child has passed away. The relationship between the eldest and the third child is still good after the separation of the family. Only Father Xiao is in the house. Go to those two.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel over someone else's affairs, Xiao Le put down the bowl and chopsticks with a snap.
He said with a sullen face to the two who came over, "Look at you, how old are you, why are you still arguing over these trivial things? You look mature at all, Dad, you are a man, how can you argue with Mom?" What about those things? Man, it can't be like this."
The corners of Father Xiao's mouth twitched slightly, and Mother Xiao felt very relieved when she heard the words.
"Listen, listen! My son is more considerate than you!"
"Mom, do you think you're right?"
Xiao Le frowned, "Dad still doesn't know who the three aunts are? He knows, but he doesn't tell! But he doesn't visit those two families on weekdays. It's clear in his heart, and he doesn't say anything. Smart guy, isn't he, Dad?"
"Since when did your kid talk so much?"
Father Xiao glared at him.
"Who am I?"
Xiao Le pointed to himself, "I am Xiao Le who is more promising than Xiao Kang!"
Xiao Ma, who was still a little uncomfortable in her heart, suddenly laughed at these words.
"Okay, let's eat, don't hurt your family's affection because of people you are not close to."
Wei Meihua said suddenly.
The words touched Xiao's mother's heart, and she glared at Xiao's father again, but she did not forget to scoop him a wooden spoon of frangipani.
Father Xiao looked at the frangipani in the bowl, then looked up at Mother Xiao, and finally enjoyed it with a smile.
After eating, Xiao Le took Yingying to hide cats and cats in the yard.
Of course Yingying lost every time.
But she was happy, she was the only child in the family, but the laughter sounded as if several children were playing with her.
Wei Meihua, who had just come out of the shower, looked at Yingying, who was in high spirits and sweating profusely, and did not disturb her. It was not until Xiao Le saw that she could not run anymore that she beckoned Yingying to come over and fetch water for her to wash. head in the shower.
When sleeping, Xiao's mother sat on the bed, looking at Xiao's father with his eyes closed and rested.
After not speaking for a long time, Father Xiao opened his eyes helplessly, "Turn off the oil lamp if you don't sleep, don't you like people to waste the most?"
"What's the use of saving money by myself," Xiao's mother said quietly.
Father Xiao sat up, blew out the oil lamp, took her callused hand, and said softly, "I only have that temper. You haven't understood it enough these years?"
"Then you have to remember that when Dad separated us, we got a few broken bowls and shared a thin quilt. There was only one room in this house, and it was a woodshed that no one else wanted. Now it's built like this. It’s not that we gritted our teeth and survived.”
Xiao's mother choked up and said, "They are all sons, because we don't know how to make the elderly happy, and we gave them all the good things when we separated, but we did the most work in the whole family. Did they ever feel sorry for you when you couldn't even lift the bowl?"
"Okay, okay," Dad Xiao hugged her, "It's my fault, I was wrong, let's go to sleep, we have to go to work tomorrow."
"But what my son said is right," Xiao's mother leaned in his arms and smiled, "No matter what you do, you didn't go to their house to hang around, because you know in your heart that there is a scale."
Father Xiao didn't say anything, but she hugged her even tighter.
Early the next morning, when Xiao Le yawned and left the room, he saw Wei Meihua not helping Yingying in the kitchen, but braiding Yingying's hair in the yard.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Le suddenly felt something was wrong, and asked softly.
"Mom and dad are busy in the kitchen," Wei Meihua said with a rare smile.
Xiao Le sneaked to the door of the kitchen, listened carefully, and immediately walked away rubbing the goose bumps on his arms. When he passed by Wei Meihua's mother and daughter, he muttered something.
"You and big brother are not as sticky as they are."
Wei Meihua picked up Yingying's shuttlecock and threw it over.
Fortunately, Xiao Le ran away after speaking.
Yingying quickly went to get the shuttlecock back, "Niu Niu is playing."
"When playing with Niuniu, don't go into the river, remember?"
This is almost what Wei Meihua talks to Yingying every day.
"know."
Yingying nodded and hugged the shuttlecock tightly.
Mo Zhiqing came to the granary, and what he saw was a little comrade wearing a horse-straw hat.
Xiao Ming and several other youths were surrounding him curiously.
"How do you wear this thing like a child?"
Xiao Le rolled his eyes, and raised his hand to fiddle with the slightly long grass in front of his forehead, "I don't know if this can shade the sun? I'm so handsome, even though I'm tanned, but I just want Bai Jun, not Hei Jun! "
"Handsome is handsome, what's the difference between white and black?"
Xiao Ming raised his hand and looked at his black hand, "Girls like me too."
"Which girl?"
"Yes, which girl?"
"There's something wrong with the kid."
Xiao Ming's face suddenly turned black and red.
And Mo Zhiqing waved to Xiao Le who was adjusting the straw hat.
"Mo Zhiqing, you are a bit late today," Xiao Le trotted over, with the straw hat on his head bouncing, looking very cute.
"I have something to do at the moment." Mo Zhiqing raised his hand and touched Xiao Le's straw hat without starting work at this time, "How do you do it?"
"It's very simple, let me teach you?"
Xiao Le went to find Ma Cao again, and in front of Mo Zhiqing, quickly made a new straw hat and handed it over.
At the same time, those young people also took Xiao Ming to find Ma Cao, but the handwork was not very good, so they begged Xiao Le to weave it for them.
Wearing the straw hat that Xiao Legang made, Mo Zhiqing, who was in a good mood, smiled and said, "I just learned it. Let me teach you. After you learn it, you can make a straw hat for your sweetheart in the future."
These words moved Xiao Le's ears, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. Standing beside Mo Zhiqing, he watched with a smile as he taught those people how to weave straw hats.
"What's wrong with this new educated youth? Why do you teach people to make things for children?"
When the person who had just arrived saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"They're all children."
The slightly older person looked at the group of young people and smiled.
"Are there any children with Adam's Apple?"
Regardless of what they say, Xiao Ming and the others already know the benefits of this straw hat when they are working.
After a while, the horse straw hat was not only popular among young people and girls, but children also fell in love with it. It can be said that Xiao Le single-handedly promoted the fashion style of their production team.
"Tomorrow is your in-laws celebrating the new year, right?"
Happy New Year is the meaning of the other party's birthday.
During dinner at night, Mama Xiao suddenly said to Wei Meihua.
Wei Meihua gave Yingying a hand that picked up the food, then put the food in Yingying's bowl, and said softly, "Well, I won't go."
Mother Xiao and Father Xiao looked at each other.
When he was about to persuade him, Xiao Le said, "If you want me, I won't go. If you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. What kind of life did sister-in-law and her sister live in the past? They don't remember, we have to remember, sister-in-law You are now a member of our family, so you don't have to go back and suffer that anger!"
"What are you talking about?" Xiao's mother kicked Xiao Le under the dinner table.
"Uncle is right," Wei Meihua rarely agreed with Xiao Le's words, "Mom and Dad, am I the Xiao family now?"
"Of course you are." Although Xiao's mother was a little upset that her reincarnation failed, she never thought about letting Brother Xiao change his wife. When it's time, let the boss bring some gifts over."
No matter how you say it, you still have to work hard on this aspect.
At night, after Wei Meihua put Yingying to sleep, she sat alone at the door of the room to blow the air.
When Xiao Le got up at night, she was almost scared to death by her.
"Sister-in-law, do you know that people scare people to death?"
"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, doesn't my uncle know this sentence?" Because of Xiao Le's words at the dinner table, Wei Meihua's attitude towards him was much better.
"It's one thing to know, it's another thing to be scared," Xiao Le scratched his head, he didn't even have the thought of getting up at night, "Why don't you go to sleep?"
"Sleep right away."
Wei Meihua got up and prepared to go in.
"Sister-in-law," Xiao Le called to stop her, "Don't think about those bad things, you won't eat his food now."
Wei Meihua was taken aback for a moment, but when she turned around, she saw that Xiao Le had already returned to her room leisurely.
