Dressed as the uncle of farming culture
Chapter 59
Mo Xiucai had never heard of such symptoms.
"Don't worry about these little things, please sit in the room."
Xiao Le led Mo Xiucai to the main room, and when passing in front of Big Brother Xiao and the others, Mo Xiucai bowed his hands very politely, "Hello, uncles and aunts."
Brother Xiao and Sister-in-law Xiao: "...OK."
Second Brother Xiao suppressed a smile, "Okay, okay, please."
After Mo Xiucai lightly cupped his hands again, he followed Xiao Le into the room.
He behaves elegantly, behaves well, and looks like a handsome young man.
Compared with Li Xiucai, Mo Xiucai has a stronger scholarly temperament, and he doesn't seem to be a frivolous person, which makes the Xiao family's eyes bright.
"Brother, sister-in-law, go in," Second Brother Xiao was about to enter the house, seeing that they were still, he tilted his head and smiled.
"I'm going to boil some water," Mrs. Xiao went to the kitchen in a daze.
I'm afraid my godson is gone, but it feels really weird to be called my aunt by such a big man.
"I, I wash my hands."
Brother Xiao looked down at his hands covered in plaster, and said softly.
I'm afraid it's impossible to be a son as much as myself.
"Then hurry up," Second Brother Xiao couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, and was glared at by Brother Xiao who saw through what he was thinking at a glance.
After Big Brother Xiao also entered the main room, the Fourth Sister Xiao who was in the room quickly ran to the kitchen room, and said to Sister Xiao who was boiling water to make mint, "Sister-in-law, let the third brother live in the newly built house."
The meaning is obvious, I don't want them to recognize such an eldest son.
"Let's talk about it when we come back tonight." Mrs. Xiao also had a headache, "By the way, there will be a family banquet over there tonight, so we have to go there for dinner."
This is the Chen family.
Fourth Sister Xiao pursed her lips and asked tentatively, "Can I not go?"
"He came here to join us, if he doesn't go, he might be paranoid."
Mrs. Xiao hesitated.
"Then go."
Fourth Sister Xiao sighed. At this moment, she felt uncomfortable. This gentleman of the Mo family was so good-looking, which was comparable to that heartbroken Huang Siniang.
It's not that he didn't know that he wasn't the person in the story, but Fourth Sister Xiao couldn't help but compare them.
"...So, there is no one left in your Mo family?"
Brother Xiao was talking to Mo Xiucai.
"Yes," Mo Xiucai nodded, "Speaking of which, it's the grievances of my ancestors, and it was completely settled in my father's generation. My father didn't want me to be involved in it, so he asked me to come here, and please take care of my uncles." point."
Xiao Le and Brother Xiao listened very well to this—uncle.
"What's the matter, you will be a member of our village from now on," Second Brother Xiao said.
"What about your salute?"
Xiao Le asked.
"Temporarily put it at Grandma Chen's house," Mo Xiucai said softly. Even if he sat there casually, he looked like a painting, with black hair shawl and eyebrows.
Xiao Le stared straight at him.
After being discovered by Big Brother Xiao, he glanced at him lightly, Xiao Le smiled, and closed his burning eyes.
Mo Xiucai naturally felt the scorching gaze, and upon closer inspection, he could find that Mo Xiucai's hands with well-defined finger bones tightened a little nervously, and his ears hidden under the long hair were also a little red.
But the second brother Xiao only found that his third child was staring at him very uncomfortable, and he didn't dare to look this way.
He happened to be sitting next to Xiao Le, so he touched the other's heel with his foot.
Xiao Le got up, "I'm going to see the water."
After he left, Second Brother Xiao and Big Brother Xiao were really relieved when they saw Mo Xiucai. They seemed to have been watched closely just now, and they were only slightly relieved after he left.
Seeing Mo Xiucai like this, the idea that such a son seems to be okay appeared in Brother Xiao's mind.
But before the three of them said a few words, Xiao Le came in with steaming mint water.
"There is no sugar in it, only the fragrance of mint."
Xiao Le put the water beside Mo Xiucai and said with a smile.
"Thank you," Mo Xiucai glanced at Xiao Le's brows with restraint, and his heart beat faster and faster. He really didn't expect that he would have such a feeling for a person he met for the first time.
As the conversation got longer and longer, the bowl of mint water could also be eaten. Mo Xiucai picked it up casually, and smelled the scent of mint before bringing it to his mouth.
He quickly raised his eyes to look at Xiao Le. He wanted to take a sneak peek, but he didn't expect that the other party was looking at him with a smile, and almost missed the bowl in his hand.
Mo Xiucai hurriedly lowered his head to drink water.
Mint water is refreshing and relieves heat, Mo Xiucai likes this taste very much.
"Let me take you around the village," Xiao Le got up and said to Mo Xiucai when seeing that there were fewer and fewer topics to talk about and Brother Xiao didn't know what to say.
Mo Xiucai also got up quickly, "That's troublesome."
He really wanted to go around the village.
"People are gone?"
Because Fourth Sister Xiao was alone in the kitchen, Sister Xiao stayed here to talk with her. Hearing Second Brother Xiao's voice telling her to come back earlier, Sister Xiao went out to ask Brother Xiao who was standing at the door of the main room.
"The third brother took people out for a stroll," Brother Xiao laughed, and then looked into Fourth Sister Xiao's room, "The fourth sister hasn't come out yet? She was a little rude just now."
"No way," Second Brother Xiao was so happy that he almost set off firecrackers to celebrate Fourth Sister Xiao's allergies.
"I'm here," Fourth Sister Xiao poked her head out from behind Mrs. Xiao.
"You guys are busy at home, I'll take my fourth sister home to help," Mrs. Xiao took fourth sister Xiao to Chen's house.
Xiao Le led Mo Xiucai to climb halfway up the mountain, where the whole village could be seen.
"Our house is there," Xiao Le pointed to the house not far to the east of the big banyan tree, "See that?"
Mo Xiucai stood behind him, followed his hand to look over, "I see."
"Ms. Chen's house is over there." Xiao Le moved his hand to the side again, "I can only see a corner, which is their home's kitchen, because they are on the mountain over there, so I can't see it all. "
Mo Xiucai looked at it, and it was true.
Most of the whole village lived at the foot of the mountain, but there were more than a dozen households on the hillside, watching the fireworks, the green mountains and green waters, and the singing of birds and flowers.
"Like it?"
Xiao Le turned to ask him.
Mo Xiucai still didn't dare to look him in the face, so he could only nod his head, "I like it very much, it's very nice here."
Yu Guang couldn't help but look at Xiao Le.
After seeing Xiao Le laughing at this, the corners of Mo Xiucai's mouth couldn't help but rise.
"Let's go over there," Xiao Le led Mo Xiucai down the mountain again.
On the road, I saw many villagers working in the fields, and every time Xiao Le saw one, he greeted them warmly.
As the saying goes, don't reach out and hit a smiling face.
Although the original owner had a bad reputation in the village, Xiao Le saved the life of Mr. Wang after he came and spread the word in the village. Although everyone was still a little wary of him stealing things, they didn't hate him that much.
So when Xiao Le smiled and greeted him, he always responded to him.
"Hey, who is this handsome gentleman?"
Every time someone looked up, when they saw the tall man next to Xiao Le, they all showed surprise and amazement, and asked casually.
Xiao Le only said that this is a relative of their family, and they will live in the village from now on, please take care of them.
So this——the village wandered down, and a young and good-looking scholar came to the village, and the news spread directly throughout the village.
"You didn't see it, this Mo Xiucai looks so handsome!"
By the river, a dozen aunts and young ladies who were washing clothes were talking, and among them—the aunt who had just arrived talked about this.
"I saw it! I saw it!" The aunt who arrived earlier than her quickly responded, "I told them that this Mo Xiucai is much better-looking than Li Xiucai, and they still don't believe it!"
"Auntie, Li Xiucai is so good-looking, we have never seen anyone who is even more beautiful than him."
— The little lady blushed.
The aunt who spoke first heard the words and chuckled, "You're still young, let me tell you, this Mo Xiucai is really handsome! I'm afraid I can't find such a handsome man in several towns, but it's a pity that my old lady is There is no such luck."
"That's right, even if you are 20 years younger, you might have that blessing. Your third aunt was the flower of their village back then!"
These words made the third aunt a little proud. She raised her rough hands and straightened her hair. From her eyebrows, she could indeed see that she was a beauty when she was young.
It wasn't just those people by the river who were talking about Mo Xiucai. The most lively place was the Chen family.
Ever since they found out that a scholar relative had come to the Chen family, all the old women and old men who were at home brought their children to see the new scholar, and even the wife of the village head brought her little granddaughter.
When Xiao Le and Mo Xiucai entered the courtyard, all the people in the courtyard looked over, and after seeing Mo Xiucai's appearance clearly, they gasped.
This man is really handsome.
Whether old or young, the women all blushed.
However, Mrs. Chen acted like she was protecting chicken cubs. After Mo Xiucai greeted everyone, she asked Xiao Le to bring him into the house.
"Look, how welcome you are," Xiao Le in the house secretly pushed open the wooden window, smiling and looking at the villagers outside looking into the house from time to time.
When Mo Xiucai heard this, his fair face turned slightly red.
He took out a pack of snacks from his bag, "This is Huazi Gao, I brought it from my hometown, you can try it."
Xiao Le bluntly took a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. It was soft and fragrant, and it was really delicious. He glanced at the closed door, and Xiao Le suddenly approached Mo Xiucai, "Grandma Chen, have they eaten?"
The sudden approach made Mo Xiucai almost couldn't hold back to avoid it, but he knew it was impolite, so he resisted it, but the blushing face betrayed his mood at the moment.
Xiao Le pretended not to see it, as if he was asking this in a serious manner.
"I brought a lot of food, which is also my little gift," Mo Xiucai said with a blushing face.
He didn't expect that Grandma Chen would take him to Xiao's house, so he didn't bring any snacks there at that time. When he arrived, he thought about having dinner, so he asked him to bring them back to eat.
"That's good," Xiao Le stepped back, and Mo Xiucai's clenched hands gradually loosened, and his breathing became more normal.
The people in the yard left in a sensible manner after it was getting late.
They just came to see people, but they didn't think about eating at other people's homes.
Mrs. Chen has five children, and Mrs. Xiao is the youngest daughter.
Brother Chen is the only male in the Chen family. He originally had four younger sisters, but the second younger sister did not grow up, so there are only three younger sisters, all of whom are married.
But only Mrs. Xiao was married in their village.
"I don't know the day you came, so I didn't tell the other daughters. We will confess when they come back next time."
To recognize the word means to know the meaning of the speaker.
During the meal, Mrs. Chen sat next to Mo Xiucai, looked at him with a smile and said.
"Grandma Chen has a heart," Mo Xiucai was very moved. As his father said, the Chen family is a kind person. Even the 50 taels of silver note that his father sent over was returned to Mo Xiucai forcefully by Grandma Chen. .
"Good boy, this will be your home from now on," Grandma Chen looked at Brother Xiao and Sister Xiao who were sitting opposite, "You can live wherever you want."
She still thinks this child is good, even though she is a little older, but she - when she thinks of Mo Xiucai's father adopting her friend, she is like that - at an age, friends don't dislike him, and her daughter can naturally do it too.
"Yes," Brother Xiao said first, "Why don't you just live in our house, there are many brothers, and you are about the same age as you, and you can talk a lot."
Mo Xiucai got up to thank him.
It is really inconvenient to live in the Chen family, because Mrs. Chen has four children, two sons and two daughters, the eldest daughter is fifteen years old.
And since he is the same generation as him, it is inevitable that people will gossip about him.
The Xiao family is different, they are all their elders.
Thinking of this, Mo Xiucai secretly glanced at Xiao Le who was hardworking.
According to seniority, this person should be called third uncle.
But since we met till now, Mo Xiucai just couldn't open his mouth to call each other. It's really strange that he can call Big Brother Xiao and Second Brother Xiao from Liuliu.
Brother Chen and his wife were still somewhat restrained towards Mo Xiucai, because he looked like a fairy, and because the other party was a scholar, they were used to speaking in rough voices, and they stumbled when they spoke in front of Mo Xiucai.
Mrs. Chen naturally also saw this, and she could even more see that in just a short afternoon, Xiao Le and Mo Xiucai were already very close.
She wasn't worried that Xiao Le would spoil his good friend's grandson, just because of Xiao Le's clear eyes now, no matter how disobedient the child was, he would grow up slowly when he reached a certain age.
While cleaning up the dishes, Mrs. Chen called Brother Xiao and Sister Xiao into the room, and she handed over ten taels of silver to Sister Xiao.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
The couple frowned.
"Since Mo Cheng lives in your house, it's inevitable that there will be many people in terms of food and drink. Mother can't let you suffer, right?"
Brother Xiao frowned at Mrs. Chen's words, and he pushed back the ten taels of silver, "Mother, what are you doing? Come here, do I have to exchange that grain for money as well?"
"It's not the same thing," Mrs. Chen laughed.
"Why is it not the same thing?" Brother Xiao shook his head, "Mo Cheng is a good guy, our family likes him very much."
He ignored his fourth sister who felt like throwing up when he first saw her.
"Besides, the third child is so naughty, following Mo Cheng—he will definitely learn a lot of righteous things, mother, we still took advantage of it, please don't do this, Yunniang and I will be unhappy."
"Yes, mother," Aunt Xiao smiled and looked at Brother Xiao who was frowning tightly, "If you continue to do this, he will be unhappy."
"Okay, okay, you are all good children, you are all good children," Mrs. Chen nodded repeatedly. She was also very ashamed that she wanted to let the two of them get married. After all these years, this son-in-law is really good.
After deciding to live in Xiao's house, Second Brother Xiao and Big Brother Xiao helped bring Mo Xiucai's salute to Xiao's house.
There are not many things, except for some clothes and small things, most of them are books. Brother Xiao borrowed a backpack from the Chen family, carefully put the bookcases in it, and carried it home.
Fourth Sister Xiao and Sister-in-law Xiao walked in the front, Brother Xiao and Second Brother Xiao, who were carrying things, walked in the middle, and only Xiao Le and Mo Xiucai walked at the end.
"The uncle and the second uncle are too enthusiastic," Mo Xiucai was very embarrassed. He can do those things by himself.
"It's been said that he is your elder, so naturally he should take care of you more," Xiao Le turned his head and smiled.
Under the moonlight, Xiao Le's smile broke into Mo Xiucai's heart instantly, his palms were sweating, and he quickly turned his head to look at the road.
"Can I ask you a question?"
asked the person beside him.
"Of course," Mo Xiucai nodded hurriedly.
"You are the same age as my elder brother, so why haven't you married yet?"
You know, these days, 15-year-olds may get married, and 28-year-olds are quite a few years old.
Mo Xiucai didn't shy away from this question, "I'm studying all the time, but I haven't thought about it. My parents have a very good relationship, and I also have selfish intentions. I want to find someone who is like me."
After saying this, he couldn't help but glance sideways at Xiao Le again.
Xiao Le nodded, "So that's the case. Coincidentally, you and I have the same idea."
The corners of Mo Xiucai's mouth began to rise uncontrollably again.
When they got home, they saluted and placed them in Xiao Le's room. Because Xiao Le was a little smaller, the two of them would naturally share a bed at night, and Second Brother Xiao had his own bed.
"This way," Xiao Le led Mo Xiucai into the hut, where they took a bath, "I'll bring you water."
"No, no, no," Mo Xiucai, who was holding a change of clothes, was startled, "I'll do it myself!"
He was taller than Xiao Le, and if Xiao Le would help with such a small matter as carrying water, Mo Xiucai felt that he was going too far.
"I'm quite strong," Xiao Le pouted.
"I know," Mo Xiucai said hastily, "but I can do these small things by myself, you..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Le looked over with a chuckle, "What should you call me?"
"me……"
Mo Xiucai stuttered.
"Come on, call Third Uncle to listen."
Xiao Le laughed.
That little figure seemed to take pleasure in teasing Mo Xiucai.
"Third, third uncle."
"So good," Xiao Le raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and said to Mo Xiucai who was blushing, "Just because of the third uncle's address, I'll bring you water, don't talk, just go in and be honest. Otherwise, Third Uncle will rub your back and choose by yourself."
Mo Xiucai, who still wanted to hold him back, immediately turned and went back to the hut.
— Until after washing, the redness on Mo Xiucai's face did not dissipate.
But Xiao's family thought he was smoked by the heat.
Mo Xiucai took out some snacks and invited everyone to eat.
It was delicious, but Fourth Sister Xiao didn't eat it.
After Xiao Le and Mo Xiucai returned to their room, Fourth Sister Xiao whispered to Second Brother Xiao, "I remember that heartbreaker also gave Huang Siniang cakes, also called flower cakes."
Brother Xiao: "...Then what, you are too allergic."
But I have to say, the third child is really doing a good job!
He was also afraid that the fourth younger sister would have thoughts about such a handsome gentleman of the Mo family, but now it seems that she might not have any thoughts at all.
The author has something to say: Lele: Come on, call Sanshu.
Someone Mo: Third Uncle, look at me, I can do it.
"Don't worry about these little things, please sit in the room."
Xiao Le led Mo Xiucai to the main room, and when passing in front of Big Brother Xiao and the others, Mo Xiucai bowed his hands very politely, "Hello, uncles and aunts."
Brother Xiao and Sister-in-law Xiao: "...OK."
Second Brother Xiao suppressed a smile, "Okay, okay, please."
After Mo Xiucai lightly cupped his hands again, he followed Xiao Le into the room.
He behaves elegantly, behaves well, and looks like a handsome young man.
Compared with Li Xiucai, Mo Xiucai has a stronger scholarly temperament, and he doesn't seem to be a frivolous person, which makes the Xiao family's eyes bright.

Brother Chen and his wife were still somewhat restrained towards Mo Xiucai, because he looked like a fairy, and because the other party was a scholar, they were used to speaking in rough voices, and they stumbled when they spoke in front of Mo Xiucai.
Mrs. Chen naturally also saw this, and she could even more see that in just a short afternoon, Xiao Le and Mo Xiucai were already very close.
She wasn't worried that Xiao Le would spoil his good friend's grandson, just because of Xiao Le's clear eyes now, no matter how disobedient the child was, he would grow up slowly when he reached a certain age.
While cleaning up the dishes, Mrs. Chen called Brother Xiao and Sister Xiao into the room, and she handed over ten taels of silver to Sister Xiao.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
The couple frowned.
"Since Mo Cheng lives in your house, it's inevitable that there will be many people in terms of food and drink. Mother can't let you suffer, right?"
Brother Xiao frowned at Mrs. Chen's words, and he pushed back the ten taels of silver, "Mother, what are you doing? Come here, do I have to exchange that grain for money as well?"
"It's not the same thing," Mrs. Chen laughed.
"Why is it not the same thing?" Brother Xiao shook his head, "Mo Cheng is a good guy, our family likes him very much."
He ignored his fourth sister who felt like throwing up when he first saw her.
"Besides, the third child is so naughty, following Mo Cheng—he will definitely learn a lot of righteous things, mother, we still took advantage of it, please don't do this, Yunniang and I will be unhappy."
"Yes, mother," Aunt Xiao smiled and looked at Brother Xiao who was frowning tightly, "If you continue to do this, he will be unhappy."
"Okay, okay, you are all good children, you are all good children," Mrs. Chen nodded repeatedly. She was also very ashamed that she wanted to let the two of them get married. After all these years, this son-in-law is really good.
After deciding to live in Xiao's house, Second Brother Xiao and Big Brother Xiao helped bring Mo Xiucai's salute to Xiao's house.
There are not many things, except for some clothes and small things, most of them are books. Brother Xiao borrowed a backpack from the Chen family, carefully put the bookcases in it, and carried it home.
Fourth Sister Xiao and Sister-in-law Xiao walked in the front, Brother Xiao and Second Brother Xiao, who were carrying things, walked in the middle, and only Xiao Le and Mo Xiucai walked at the end.
"The uncle and the second uncle are too enthusiastic," Mo Xiucai was very embarrassed. He can do those things by himself.
"It's been said that he is your elder, so naturally he should take care of you more," Xiao Le turned his head and smiled.
Under the moonlight, Xiao Le's smile broke into Mo Xiucai's heart instantly, his palms were sweating, and he quickly turned his head to look at the road.
"Can I ask you a question?"
asked the person beside him.
"Of course," Mo Xiucai nodded hurriedly.
"You are the same age as my elder brother, so why haven't you married yet?"
You know, these days, 15-year-olds may get married, and 28-year-olds are quite a few years old.
Mo Xiucai didn't shy away from this question, "I'm studying all the time, but I haven't thought about it. My parents have a very good relationship, and I also have selfish intentions. I want to find someone who is like me."
After saying this, he couldn't help but glance sideways at Xiao Le again.
Xiao Le nodded, "So that's the case. Coincidentally, you and I have the same idea."
The corners of Mo Xiucai's mouth began to rise uncontrollably again.
When they got home, they saluted and placed them in Xiao Le's room. Because Xiao Le was a little smaller, the two of them would naturally share a bed at night, and Second Brother Xiao had his own bed.
"This way," Xiao Le led Mo Xiucai into the hut, where they took a bath, "I'll bring you water."
"No, no, no," Mo Xiucai, who was holding a change of clothes, was startled, "I'll do it myself!"
He was taller than Xiao Le, and if Xiao Le would help with such a small matter as carrying water, Mo Xiucai felt that he was going too far.
"I'm quite strong," Xiao Le pouted.
"I know," Mo Xiucai said hastily, "but I can do these small things by myself, you..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Le looked over with a chuckle, "What should you call me?"
"me……"
Mo Xiucai stuttered.
"Come on, call Third Uncle to listen."
Xiao Le laughed.
That little figure seemed to take pleasure in teasing Mo Xiucai.
"Third, third uncle."
"So good," Xiao Le raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and said to Mo Xiucai who was blushing, "Just because of the third uncle's address, I'll bring you water, don't talk, just go in and be honest. Otherwise, Third Uncle will rub your back and choose by yourself."
Mo Xiucai, who still wanted to hold him back, immediately turned and went back to the hut.
— Until after washing, the redness on Mo Xiucai's face did not dissipate.
But Xiao's family thought he was smoked by the heat.
Mo Xiucai took out some snacks and invited everyone to eat.
It was delicious, but Fourth Sister Xiao didn't eat it.
After Xiao Le and Mo Xiucai returned to their room, Fourth Sister Xiao whispered to Second Brother Xiao, "I remember that heartbreaker also gave Huang Siniang cakes, also called flower cakes."
Brother Xiao: "...Then what, you are too allergic."
But I have to say, the third child is really doing a good job!
He was also afraid that the fourth younger sister would have thoughts about such a handsome gentleman of the Mo family, but now it seems that she might not have any thoughts at all.
The author has something to say: Lele: Come on, call Sanshu.
Someone Mo: Third Uncle, look at me, I can do it.
