Dressed as the uncle of farming culture

Mother Xiao put down her chopsticks when she heard the words, glanced at Xiao Le's pocket, and said meaningfully, "You begged so much money, we just want you to treat us to a few good meals, so you don't want to?"

"I'm still an uncle." Father Xiao also knew that the relationship between Xiao Le and Yingying had gotten better recently, so he raised his hand and touched Yingying's little head, "Look at the little yellow hair on Yingying's end, you are a real uncle." I don’t know how distressed I feel, Yingying, don’t play with your uncle in the future.”

"Dad, don't bring someone who is so provocative."

Xiao Le hurriedly said to Yingying, "Uncle even gave you small fish and loach!"

Yingying understood this sentence and nodded quickly.

"Where is the meat delicious in the small fish loach?" Xiao Ma sighed, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a small fish loach, "You all know the gluttonous meat, the child doesn't know?"

Wei Meihua silently chewed the small fish loach and did not join in the conversation.

Xiao Le's small face wrinkled into a ball, still hesitating there.

"Hey, our family hasn't eaten meat for almost two months," Father Xiao touched his face, "I feel like I've lost weight, Yingying's grandma, look at me, have you lost weight?"

Xiao Le looked up.

"Don't tell me, you've lost at least ten catties!" Xiao's mother touched Xiao's father's face with distress, "How many big words your youngest son has said in the future, he must be filial to us when he is rich, and he must be filial to us. Okay, but we want to eat some meat now, he has money in his pocket, so he is not willing to buy it, alas..."

"Ugh……"

Father Xiao also sighed, and secretly poked Yingying. Yingying blinked her eyes and let out an "ah".

Even Wei Meihua sighed, "I don't know what meat tastes like anymore."

"Sister-in-law, it's over," Xiao Le's face was a little distorted, "Isn't this fish meat?"

"Can it be compared with pork?"

Wei Meihua looked at Xiao's mother, "Look, mom has lost weight."

"I've been wearing pants recently, and the pants are a lot looser," Xiao's mother nodded repeatedly.

With a "snap", Xiao Le slammed the table and stood up, loudly saying, "Buy! Isn't it just meat? Let's buy it!"

When Xiao's mother and Xiao's father looked at each other, Xiao Le said again, "Tomorrow, I will go to the market with my mother."

Mother Xiao and Father Xiao: ...

The corner of Wei Meihua's mouth twitched slightly after taking a sip of the fish soup, reminding her, "You have rested for a day, and you want to continue resting tomorrow?"

"I'll only be delayed for half a day tomorrow," Xiao Le reasoned with her, not because he wanted to be lazy, "I still have to go to work in the afternoon."

"Let me go," Xiao's mother held out her hand, "Give me the money, and I'll go."

"I want to scold," Xiao Le pointed to Yingying who was staring at them eagerly, "Yingying also wants to go, I carry Yingying on my back, mom, you carry a basket on your back."

Speaking of Yingying, she really seldom goes to town.

Xiao's mother glanced at Wei Meihua, "Okay, but you have to promise us that you will go to work in the afternoon."

"I promise," Xiao Le gritted his teeth after seeing that they didn't believe much, "I bet I must go to work, otherwise I won't eat a bite of meat!"

"Okay, I bet."

Wei Meihua and Xiao Ma spoke in unison.

After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, they both understood each other's thoughts, and when they turned their heads, they all smiled.

Xiao Le rolled his eyes, sat down and continued to eat, "Why do you only believe what I say in a bet?"

"You didn't make it yourself," Dad Xiao muttered, and then said to the excited Yingying, "Go and wake your uncle up early in the morning and ask him to carry you to the market."

"it is good!"

Yingying nodded vigorously.

Xiao Le was going to fish in the afternoon, but Xiao Ming came and told him that he had to cut firewood in the afternoon, so he stopped fishing.

Seeing this, Father Xiao quickly called Xiao Ming to stop, "We'll go chop firewood with you."

"What?"

Xiao Le looked at Father Xiao suspiciously, "Aren't you going to work this afternoon?"

"I have worked so many days in a row, you are tired, I am not tired?"

"But I want to touch fish..."

"No, you don't want to," Father Xiao took the machete and let Xiao Le carry the basket, and went up the mountain with Xiao Ming and his son to cut firewood.

Xiao Ming's father and Xiao's father walked behind, watching the two boys in front talking and laughing, Xiao Ming's father said, "Second brother, Xiao Le has really grown up."

Father Xiao was also embarrassed to say that Xiao Le wanted to catch fish, but he was dragged to chop firewood by himself, so he replied with a smile, "I'm still very worried, unlike your family Xiao Ming, who is capable and smart, and still cares about you. Home."

The two fathers were bragging about each other's sons, but Xiao Le in front kept asking Xiao Ming, "Is there a rabbit in the mountains? Is there a wild boar? Is there a pheasant?"

"I've never seen a rabbit, but my dad has seen a pheasant, but it's hard to hunt. There are wild boars, but they don't taste good, and a wild boar weighing more than 50 kilograms is very difficult for three or four adults to catch around."

The corners of Xiao Le's mouth twitched after hearing this, because in this farming article, Wei Meihua is a natural hunter. During the days when the original owner was in prison, Wei Meihua and Brother Xiao got a lot of things in the mountains.

But how to get to Xiao Ming's place seems to be quite difficult.

"It's better to fish in the river," Xiao Ming shook his head, and asked Xiao Le, who was full of displeasure, "Why, do you want to hunt?"

"Forget about my little arms and legs," Xiao Le shook his head with his hands behind his back. Just as he was talking, he saw a familiar voice far in front of him. He squinted his eyes and stared carefully for a while. Suddenly shouted loudly.

"Mo educated youth!"

The voice was very loud, and because they were halfway up the mountain, his voice echoed in half the village.

Mo Zhiqing naturally heard it too.

After their group finished their work in the morning, the educated youth office ran out of firewood, so they went up the mountain to cut firewood together.

"Is that the little comrade from the Xiao family?"

Li Zhiqing knew that Xiao Le often worked with Mo Zhiqing.

"Yes, you go first."

Mo Zhiqing stood where he was, and Xiao Le saw that he hadn't moved, so he said something to Xiao Ming, and ran towards Mo Zhiqing.

It was uphill, and when he ran to Mo Zhiqing, he was already panting from exhaustion.

"What are you running, go slowly."

Looking at his flushed little face, Mo Zhiqing said softly.

"Aren't you afraid that you will leave?" Xiao Le looked behind Mo Zhiqing, "Where are they?"

"Let's go first," Mo Zhiqing looked at Xiao Ming and Xiao Dad who were still some distance below, "Shall we wait, or?"

"Wait for Xiao Ming, let's go together," Xiao Le waved at Xiao Ming after finishing speaking, "Hurry up!"

Knowing that the two are relatives, Mo Zhiqing also patiently stared at Xiao Ming coming up, and the three of them entered the mountain together.

"Let them go," Xiao Ming's father said when he saw that Xiao's father was worried about calling Xiao Le to stop, "They are all of the same age, some of them are talking, and they are bound to be together with us. Young people, you have to run up and down like this Besides, it's a good thing that Xiao Le and Mo Zhiqing have a good time."

This is true, after all Mo Zhiqing came from the city and is a scholar.

Father Xiao remembered that Xiao Le was always with Mo Zhiqing when he was working, and he also felt that with Mo Zhiqing around, this kid would not slip away.

So this afternoon, Xiao Le stayed with Zhiqing Mo, and Xiao Ming who was beside him could be ignored.

Xiao Ming didn't care what they said or did, he just buried himself in chopping firewood. When he went down the mountain, Xiao Le asked Mo Zhiqing if he would go to the market tomorrow.

Mo Zhiqing looked at him and nodded, "Go."

"Then let's go together."

Xiao Le immediately said, "I'll go tomorrow too."

"Are you all going?"

Xiao Ming wiped the sweat off his face, "I want to go too, but my brother will go tomorrow."

"Your brother is going, can't you go?"

Xiao Le asked with some doubts.

"Take another turn," Xiao Ming showed his big white teeth, "Go all, and lose one person's work points, it's not worth it."

Xiao Le suddenly felt a little guilty.

Because he went to town, he lost half a day.

"It's okay," Mo Zhiqing said to him, "I'll make it up later."

"Eh."

Xiao Le smiled and nodded.

Yingying knew that tomorrow was going to the market, so she not only showed off it when playing with the children in the afternoon, but also kept telling Xiao Le during dinner, "Uncle, get up early tomorrow."

"I know, I know," Xiao Le nodded helplessly, "You've said it a dozen times."

"Get up early." Yingying said this to Xiao Le when she was taken to take a bath.

Xiao Le made a face at her.

Early in the morning, Xiao Le, who was soundly asleep, suddenly felt his nose being grabbed and unable to breathe. He opened his eyes suddenly, and saw Xiao's mother pinching his nose, and beside him was a radiant Yingying.

Turning his head to look outside again, Xiao Le lamented, "Mom! It's not even dawn yet!"

This is June and it's 05:30 at most.

"Go early, come back early."

Mother Xiao urged Xiao Le to get up, and the two hurriedly made breakfast and set off.

Xiao Le carried Yingying on his back, and Xiao's mother carried a pannier on her back.

When he reached the fork in the road, Xiao Le suddenly stood still, "I almost forgot, I have to call Zhiqing Mo."

"What?"

"Yesterday Mo Zhiqing said that he was going to the town too, so I made an appointment with him," Xiao Le explained.

Xiao's mother looked at the sky, and it was indeed still early, "Well, let's go there together. If he hasn't gotten up yet, let's go first. Can we wait for him in the town."

"Row."

So the three of them went to the Educated Youth Office, not wanting to meet Li Zhiqing and Mo Zhiqing on the way.

After saying hello, a group of people walked to the town. Li Zhiqing in front was talking to Xiao's mother, and Mo Zhiqing in the back saw that there was a baby on Xiao Le's body, so he suddenly took out a candy from his pocket and handed it to Yingying.

"Thank you, Uncle Mo."

Xiao Le turned to Yingying who was on his back.

Yingying was a little shy, but she still thanked her in a childlike voice, "Thank you, Uncle Mo."

"So good," Mo Zhiqing smiled and took out another candy and handed it to Xiao Le.

Xiao Le's hand was also inconvenient, so he opened his mouth and did not forget to thank him, "Thank you Mo Zhiqing."

Mo Zhiqing smiled, peeled off the candy with his own hands, and handed the candy to Xiao Le's mouth.

Xiao Le lowered his head and bit the candy, then raised his head and swallowed it, and the candy went into his mouth, "It's delicious, what kind of candy is this?"

"Coconut candy, I brought it from home," Mo Zhiqing moved his hand hanging by his side.

Just now he could feel Xiao Le's breath pulsating between his fingers.

After Yingying ate a few candies from Mo Zhiqing, she became less afraid of life.

Xiao was so sour that he couldn't be happier.

He took the opportunity to teach Yingying a lesson, "In the future, if someone you don't know treats you to eat candy, you can't just eat it casually. If it's a pedophile, Yingying will be sold to another family to do a little hard work because of a piece of candy. You have to get up and work before dawn, and you won’t be given food, and you can’t go home.”

This frightened Yingying, and she was about to spit out the candy in her mouth.

Seeing this, Mo Zhiqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Your little uncle is talking about someone he doesn't know, not me."

"Yes, yes, yes," Xiao Le almost knocked Mo Zhiqing into the boat, "This uncle's candy is edible."

"It's not just sugar," Mo Zhiqing added, "Whatever Yingying wants to eat, Uncle Mo will buy it for you."

"what about me?"

Xiao Le was sour again.

Zhiqing Mo looked at him sideways, "Why are you so jealous?"

"nonsense!"

Xiao Le's ears turned red, and just as he was about to quibble with tea, Mo Zhiqing said, "Let me carry her, look at you, your face is flushed from exhaustion."

Is that tired red?

Xiao Le complained in his heart, but he still honestly handed Yingying over to Mo Zhiqing.

At the beginning, Yingying turned her head to look at Xiao Le from time to time, but after realizing that she could see higher and farther on Mo Zhiqing's back, she stopped looking at Xiao Le.

"Little heartless," Xiao Le cursed with a smile.

When Xiao's mother looked back at them, she realized that Mo Zhiqing was carrying Yingying on her back, and her youngest son was walking briskly beside her with his hands behind his back.

"Xiao Le! Why do you ask Mo Zhiqing to recite Yingying?"

Mother Xiao scolded.

"Ask Yingying," Xiao Le pointed at the innocent Yingying, "she thinks I'm not tall enough."

"It's okay, auntie," Mo Zhiqing smiled back, "Yingying is very good, we all like it."

"Then what can I do?" Xiao's mother still felt embarrassed.

"Mom, give me the pannier." Xiao Le went over to carry the pannier on her body, "Don't worry about Mo Zhiqing and I, we will take turns carrying Yingying."

"I'll come too," Li Zhiqing said.

"Enough is enough, two people are enough," Xiao Le said, feeling really embarrassed by outsiders.

After arriving in the town, Li Zhiqing and Mo Zhiqing went to the post office to pick up the things sent from home. After Xiao Le and the three went to the supply and marketing agency to buy salt and sugar, they went to the meat factory to buy meat.

But they were still late, there was no more pork belly, only slightly thinner thigh meat.

For one yuan a catty, I bought three catties of meat.

This is Xiao Le's money.

He watched the money handed over helplessly, and was glared at by Mama Xiao.

After putting the meat into the basket, Xiao's mother quickly covered it with a blue cloth, so that others would not know what they bought.

"It is said that it is taking turns to carry the children, why haven't I seen you take over?"

Xiao's mother talked about carrying the child.

"Then you can't blame me," Xiao Le said with an innocent face, "It's Mo Zhiqing's fault, tell him to go."

"I have recited Yingying all the way for you, am I ashamed to talk about him?"

Xiao's mother stuffed a candy into Yingying's mouth, and put two more in her pocket, "Give Mo Zhiqing and Li Zhiqing a taste later."

"Mom, let's go over there and have a look."

Xiao Le pointed to the place where clothes and cloth were sold in front of him. Cloth tickets were needed, and if money was used, it would be more expensive than meat and not worth it.

He picked out a few fancy hair ropes and spent [-] cents, and bought a comb for Xiao's mother, which cost [-] cents, so the total was [-] cents.

As soon as I handed the hair rope and comb to Mama Xiao, the other party's soul questioned, "Don't you only have three dollars? Where did you get the fifty cents?"

"I'm not allowed to hide some private money myself?"

Xiao Le hugged Yingying without changing his face.

When Yingying's small arms wrapped around his neck, Xiao Le's heart softened, "What else does Yingying want? Tell my uncle."

"I want to eat meat."

"I'll do it when I get back, and we'll eat it at noon."

Mama Xiao smiled.

"Mom, let's wait over there, there are many people here."

Xiao Le raised his chin, indicating to go across the street.

"Okay," Xiao's mother nodded.

Not long after, Xiao Le saw Mo Zhiqing and Li Zhiqing coming over with a large bag of things.

They didn't even carry the baskets on their backs, so they just carried them around.

Li Zhiqing's is not heavy, the quilt was sent over, Mo Zhiqing's is a bit heavy, and the voice seems to be mostly bottles and cans.

"It's food sent by my mother," Mo Zhiqing said with a smile.

Yingying was heavier than the things in the backpack, so Xiao Le carried her on the back, and Xiao's mother carried the backpack.

On the way, I also met a few aunts. Although they were not from the same production team, they had to walk a long way. They were old acquaintances of Xiao Ma, and soon Xiao Ma chatted with them as they walked.

"Li Zhiqing, is it cold in your place after winter?"

The three of them walked together, wouldn't it be embarrassing if they only talked to Zhiqing Mo?So Xiao Le took the initiative to stir up the topic.

"Cold," Li Zhiqing nodded, "basically no one goes out, they all keep warm on the kang. The first thing to do every morning is to clear the snow from the yard and the roof. Clean it up, or it will build up too much and bring the house down."

"How much snow is that?"

Xiao Le and Yingying's faces were full of shock.

Seeing this, Mo Zhiqing smiled slightly, "I have been to the north, and when this man goes out, he doesn't wear a hat or scarf. His beard and hair are white."

"Yes, yes, yes," Li Zhiqing nodded repeatedly.

Then he talked about Mo Zhiqing's living environment. Generally speaking, there are too many rainy seasons, and the days when he returns to Nantian every year are the most worrying.

"The walls are all wet, and the clothes are never dry," Mo Zhiqing said.

"Then what should I do if I have no clothes to wear?" Xiao Le asked.

"Roast with fire."

Mo Zhiqing looked sideways at him.

Yingying fell asleep after listening to it, and the three of Xiao Le didn't dare to speak too loudly, for fear of waking up the child.

After entering the village, Li Zhiqing was called by the deputy captain, saying that there was a letter from him. Mo Zhiqing asked Xiao Le to wait for a while. He opened the bag and took out two bottles of fish sauce and a packet of dried fish for Xiao Le.

"What is this for?"

Xiao's mother forbade Xiao Le to pick it up.

"Auntie, this is a specialty of my hometown, and I don't get much of it, so try it."

Mo Zhiqing ignored Xiao's mother's refusal, put the things in her back basket, picked up the bag and waved to Xiao Le, and then strode towards the educated youth office.

Xiao's mother stamped her feet, "Oh, this thing got messed up..."

Seeing that Xiao Le was a bit embarrassed, Xiao's mother said again, "There are so many things, what did we give to others?"

"Invite him over for dinner tonight," Xiao Le grinned, "I still want to study with him."

"study?"

The corner of Xiao's mother's mouth twitched, "When you forgot to go to school, your father drove you to school with a bamboo pole, and you just stopped going after two years?"

"So," Xiao Le replied solemnly, "I regret it now, and want to learn more, maybe I will have the opportunity to be a scorekeeper in the future."

"What sweet dream?"

Xiao's mother laughed and cursed, and the two walked home.

"However, I heard from Li Zhiqing that Mo Zhiqing's knowledge is very good. If you follow him, not only can you learn some characters, but you can learn some principles of life, mother will be satisfied. When you go to work in the afternoon, you and Mo Zhiqing Tell him to invite him over for dinner."

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome," Xiao Le thought very simply and rudely, "I will take him home immediately after work in the afternoon."

"That's fine too."
