Life in a different world is booming

In order to let Boya not think too much, Cheng Xiangdong found something for Boya to do.

Lu Ya also brought back the wicker tied to Xiao Baibai that day.Cheng Xiangdong asked Boya to weave baskets.

Push Boya to the yard to bask in the sun, then move out a small table and put the wicker on it.In this way, it will be much more convenient for Boya to take the wicker.

Sitting next to Boya, Cheng Xiangdong taught Boya patiently. Everyone said that Boya was ingenious and learned to weave baskets very quickly.Originally weaving baskets was not a difficult task.

There are children playing in the yard, or "giggling" or "haha" laughing.Cheng Xiangdong feels that the current life is plain and fulfilling.Although not as convenient as in the 21st century, there is high civilization.However, Cheng Xiangdong still likes it here.The slow-paced life here, the simplicity of people, and all the original ecology make Cheng Xiangdong feel comfortable.It turned out that Cheng Xiangdong always felt like a whipped horse, always being forced forward by an invisible force.But the present self is like a horse leisurely walking on the grassland. When it is hungry, it lowers its head to eat grass. If it is not hungry, it walks leisurely and enjoys the scenery.

"Bo Ya, next year, take this willow basket to the big market and see if you can exchange it for something." Cheng Xiangdong lowered his head, bending the wicker in his hand.

"Ah."

"Bo Ya, I've made up my mind. Animal skin bags are sometimes inconvenient to use. Let's weave more willow baskets and send one to every family in the tribe."

"Ah."

"Bo Ya, I will teach you our words in the future."

"Ah."

"Bo Ya, let me teach you how to read."

"Yeah." Boya didn't know what words were, as long as he was with Cheng Xiangdong, he was happy.

Just think of the topic and chat occasionally, and when there is no topic, they will do their own things.Not uncomfortable at all, two people can sit all morning.

For lunch, Cheng Xiangdong made boiled pork and put a lot of his homemade chili sauce.They all come in a pot.There is red soup and meat in the basin.

Lu Ya ate very happily, and was so hot that he laughed, but he kept putting slices of meat in his bowl.Cheng Xiangdong promised to let Boya eat some, but not let him eat too much.Boya had no choice but to look at the boiled meat greedily and eat another dish.There is an extra bone soup after the meal.

In the afternoon, Cheng Xiangdong led Lu Ya to the field to have a look.I found that everything I planted was blooming.

"It's amazing." Cheng Xiangdong couldn't help sighing.These three-season foods are really good things.

"Bo Ya, you weave baskets at home, and I'll go to the back mountain." Cheng Xiangdong told Boya to stay at home.There are still many places in the back mountain that he hasn't turned around.

"Yes. Lu Ya, take good care of your brother." Boya looked up at Lu Ya and Cheng Xiangdong.

"I know."

Behind Cheng Xiangdong, Lu Ya, who was driving Xiao Baibai, leisurely went to the back mountain.Cheng Xiangdong planned to go to the place where the rice was grown first, and then go to other places, and then fold some willow sticks when he returned home.

Before Cheng Xiangdong reached the field where the rice was grown, Lu Ya told him that there were several females there.Cheng Xiangdong let out an oh and continued on.

Several females greeted Cheng Xiangdong when they saw him.Cheng Xiangdong didn't know any of these people very well, so General said, "Hi, hello."

"Dongzi, when can this thing be picked?" One of the older females asked Cheng Xiangdong with a smile.

"I don't know too well, I have to wait for a while." The rice in this field is almost the same as that at home, and Cheng Xiangdong is still satisfied with his farming skills.

"Oh. Let us know when you can pick it, and we will pick it with you." The older female said.

"Of course." At this time, Cheng Xiangdong already had some calculations in his mind.Such good food must be available to everyone.The key point is the distribution. If it is not done well, there will be rifts among the families.

Cheng Xiangdong chatted with them a few more words and left with Lu Ya.

Lu Ya took Cheng to a place farther east.

On the way, Cheng Xiangdong played with pulling grass in his hands from time to time.I feel like I am on a field trip.

"Lu Ya, let me test you, what is one plus one?"

"What is 1?" Lu Ya turned to look at Cheng Xiangdong.

Cheng Xiangdong stretched out a finger, "This is 1, a finger." He pointed to a tree beside him, "This is a tree." "Then let me ask you now, what is 1 plus 1 equal to? "

Lu Ya lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up at Cheng Xiangdong with blank eyes, "I don't know."

Cheng Xiangdong patted Lu Ya's head bitterly, "1 plus 1 equals 2." This kid's IQ is urgent.

"Oh."

"What about 1 plus 2?"

Lu Ya still thought for a long time, "4." He came up with an answer that Cheng Xiangdong wanted to slap his head flat.

Cheng Xiangdong thought for a while, but he didn't see that Lu Ya usually has a problem with IQ, why can't he understand such a simple thing.He suddenly thought of the conversation he had with his grandma.

He was very young then.Grandma often takes him by her side.

"Grandma, let me ask you. How much is 2 plus 5?" Children always have that kind of show-off mentality. After learning something, they always want to show off to others.

Grandma is illiterate.He smiled and patted his head and said, "Grandma doesn't know."

"It's 7. Haha." Cheng Xiangdong laughed for a while, and then felt strange, every time Grandma Tai took him to go shopping, she could always count correctly.He also saw Grandma remind the seller several times that the money was changed in the wrong way.But, why can't grandma know how to count?So, he had an idea. "Grandma, let me ask you again."

Grandma Tai touched his head kindly and wrinkled her face with a smile. "Is there anything else you want to ask, Dongzi?"

Cheng Xiangdong asked childishly, "How much is 2 yuan plus 3 yuan?"

Grandma Tai answered very quickly this time, "5 yuan."

"Well, you bought something worth 13 yuan, and you gave the seller 20 yuan, how much does the seller want from you?"

"7 yuan." Grandma Tai answered very quickly this time.

"Then, what is 10 minus 7?" Cheng Xiangdong asked after him.

Grandma thought for a while, then shook her head, "Grandma doesn't know."

程向东当时就觉得太奶奶好奇怪啊。20减13都会了，怎么10减7却不会呢。幼稚园的老师都是先教会小朋友10以内的加减法，然后再教20以内的加减法的。

So Cheng Xiangdong asked Lu Ya, "Your brother caught 7 Gela beasts in the morning and 11 Gela beasts in the afternoon. How many Gela beasts did he catch in one day?"

"18." Lu Ya answered immediately.

Cheng Xiangdong looked at Lu Ya, and sure enough, he was most obsessed with food.Cheng Xiangdong has been thinking about it since he asked grandma about counting, why grandma will count after it is linked to money.

He thought about it for a long time, and felt that it was because of Grandma's obsession with money, and she took money very seriously.

Cheng Xiangdong heard from his father what happened to his grandma.At that time, my great-grandfather died early, in his thirties.Grandma and four children are left behind.

Grandma's eldest child is a girl, and the only girl in the family, who is Cheng Xiangdong's aunt.Cheng Xiangdong has no impression of this aunt.His great-aunt died of illness when he was very young.Grandma Tai's other three children are all boys.At that time, his third grandfather had just been born.

Grandma Tai lived alone with four children.Later, when there was a flood in the hometown, the grandma took her four children and fled.

Dad said, it's really not easy for grandma.The children are all growing up well.Cheng Xiangdong also thought so, it was not easy for Grandma to raise four children by herself.

Grandpa is the boss at home (aunts are not counted), and there are two brothers below.At that time, going to school was a luxury for the grandpas. Only the third grandpa was in the second grade of elementary school and could read a few words, and the rest had never been to school.But just because the third grandfather had studied, he later became an accountant.

Dad said that at that time they all wanted to study, but the family could only afford one person, so the third grandpa, as the youngest of the family, got this opportunity.Later, it was difficult at home, and the third grandfather didn't study.

Cheng Xiangdong felt that it was the miserable life in the past that made grandma obsessed with money.Just like many people who have never read a book, no matter how much money they spend, they can always count clearly.

Cheng Xiangdong used to have a high school classmate.Mathematics is very good, and it is almost rare to make mistakes in calculations.However, it is such a classmate who has to calculate for half a day every time he buys something, and he may not be able to do it right.

"Brother, let me tell you, there are green and red fruits in front. I am the only one in the tribe who knows, and I didn't tell Dila. When the green and red fruits are ripe, they are delicious, sweet and full of water." Lu Ya happily gesticulated and told Cheng Xiangdong.

Green and red fruit, what kind of fruit.Based on past experience, what Cheng Xiangdong thought of was half-ripe fruit, half green and half red.

When he arrived at the place, when Cheng Xiangdong saw the watermelon hiding in the grass, he knew why Lu Ya was called Lvhongguo.It's green on the outside and red on the inside.However, this is obviously a watermelon with flower skin.Isn't there still black.

Looking at the watermelon, Cheng Xiangdong thought of the ice he kept in the ice cellar.Crush the ice to make crushed ice, then dig out the watermelon pulp, add some crushed ice, omg cool summer.

"Lu Ya, when it's summer, brother will make you crushed ice watermelon."

"Oh. Is there really ice?" Lu Ya was still worried that the ice in his ice cellar wouldn't last until summer.

"Of course there is. There is a lot of ice in our ice cellar." Cheng Xiangdong patted his head reassuringly.

Cheng Xiangdong went to the field to pick up a watermelon and patted it. He couldn't tell if a watermelon was ripe by patting it.But this does not hinder his good mood.I don't know if this watermelon is ripe three seasons a year.Let's take a look at this watermelon after harvesting the rice.

"Luya, what else is there to eat here?"

"I know this green and red fruit."

"This is called a watermelon. There are many in my hometown. This is a huapi melon, and there is also a green watermelon, which is green on the outside and yellow on the inside."

"Brother's stuff is really rich. When I grow up, I'm going to visit my brother's hometown." Lu Ya thinks this is his future goal.There are so many delicious foods.

Cheng Xiangdong patted him on the shoulder, "But brother, I don't even remember where my home is, so how do you go to my hometown?"

Lu Ya thought for a while and said, "Then... I will look for it by myself in the future. When I find my brother's hometown, I will take him back to see it too."

"Yeah." But, Cheng Xiangdong didn't want to hit Lu Ya, his home is not here, no one can find him.
