Wearing sixty with a male god

"Why are you alone today, and your brother isn't here?" Aunt Yu asked Xu Hengzhou loudly in the field.

"No." Xu Hengzhou straightened up, smiled and thanked Aunt Yu: "Thank you so much, Auntie, Chenchen told me when he got home, Heiwa and Huanier took good care of him, and asked me to thank you. "

"Hey, you city kids, you're just too polite." Aunt Yu swung the hoe vigorously, without stopping her hands or mouth: "Huan Nier also told me today, your Chenchen, what kind of food did you ask them to eat?" Biscuits?! Dim sum in the city is so expensive. The two of my family are also greedy. They eat it when they give it to them. I am so angry..."

"Auntie, don't scold them." Xu Hengzhou said hastily: "They play together as children, and it's okay to share some snacks. Chenchen told me that Heiwa also gave him his fruit, so should I also Should he be trained?"

Aunt Yu was not convinced: "This is not the same."

"It's nothing different." Xu Hengzhou smiled and said, "It's all the children's wish. You, don't scold the children when you go back."

"You're so right, it sounds like a cultural person said." Aunt Yu also laughed, and after laughing, she talked about the business: "You want me to help you find someone, I'll find it for you, let's see when If you have time, let them come to you, or I will take you to meet them, and tell them clearly what you want, and get it out for you as soon as possible while the farming is slack, so that your brothers can survive the winter."

When Xu Hengzhou heard this, he was overjoyed. Aunt Yu was very efficient in handling things. He immediately said: "A few days ago, the village chief asked someone to help me repair the house. Tonight, I will go with the village chief to thank you guys. I will make it work tomorrow. , It doesn’t matter whether they come to me or I go to them, it depends on their convenience.”

If he and Chen Youshan went to someone's house tonight, they would definitely be seen. Instead of letting the villagers guess, it would be better to tell Aunt Yu and use her mouth to spread the word.

"That's fine, I'll ask those two families, and I'll give you an answer later." Aunt Yu said.

……

In the village, Xiang Chen walked along the path in the village, looking down for dead branches that had not been picked up.It is much more difficult to collect firewood in the village than on the mountain. You may not be able to pick up a single tree under a tree. Unlike on the mountain, you can pick up half a basket at a glance without moving the ground.He had been walking for a long time, and the small pannier on his back was only fully fitted.

"Xiang Chen!"

He suddenly heard someone calling him, looking at Chen Xunsheng, it turned out to be a stone standing at the gate of a small courtyard.

Xiang Chen ran over with a smile on his face: "Shitou, is this your house?"

Shitou nodded and asked him, "Are you here to play with me?"

"I'm here to collect firewood." Xiang Chen showed him the small backpack behind him: "My brother won't let me go up the mountain alone, so I'll come to the village to collect firewood."

"What can you pick up in the village." Shitou said disdainfully, he pulled Xiangchen: "You come in."

Xiang Chen followed him into the yard puzzled. The yard was not small, but it was piled up to the brim. There were two piles of firewood alone. Xiang Chen was so envious.

There were other people in the yard, two girls in their teens, one was chopping firewood, the other was drying clothes, and a few little ones were squatting in the corner of the yard to play.Seeing Xiang Chen coming in, the two girls secretly looked at him out of the corners of their eyes.

"Do you drink water?" Stone asked.

Xiang Chen took out the water bottle in his back basket and shook it: "I brought it, but I haven't finished it yet."

"This is that thermos cup!" Shitou's eyes lit up.

For the folks in the village, all kinds of news spread quickly, and there were no entertainment activities. This kind of novelty news, the villagers would not get tired of listening to it several times.

"Do you want to see it?" Xiang Chen generously handed over the cup.

"No, no, no." Shitou waved his hands again and again, he didn't dare to touch such a valuable thing, if it was broken, what would he do, his father could beat him to death.

"Shitou, who are you talking to?" The people in the middle room were pushed away, and an old lady came out.

"Grandma, this is the kid from the city. His brother is an educated youth from our village." Shitou said to the old lady.

Xiang Chen quickly followed suit, "Hi, grandma."

Granny Shitou agreed, squinted her eyes at Xiang Chen, and said with a smile: "This child is really good-looking, the baby in the city is just different from our skin boy."

Shi Shi was not angry either, he laughed a few times, and said loudly, "Grandma, Xiang Chen is picking up firewood, I'll get him two."

"Take it, take it." The old lady waved her hand: "Go to the vegetable garden at the back and he will pull out two radishes. If you eat other people's snacks, you will return two firewood."

"Got it!" Stone replied loudly.He ran to the pile of firewood, picked up neatly split firewood and carried it to Xiang Chen, and stuffed it into his back basket.

"Wait for me here." After Shishi finished speaking, he ran to the backyard to pull carrots for him.

Xiang Chen carried a heavy basket on his back, and his little friend disappeared in the blink of an eye. He looked at the smiling grandma in front of him, and touched his pocket.

"Grandma." Xiang Chen walked up to the old lady and called out obediently.He was brought up by his grandparents since he was a child, and he has always had a good impression of the elderly.

"Hey, what's the matter?" The old lady looked at Xiang Chen also very strangely. The boys in the village were as strong as the skin, and the grandchildren of her family were like monkeys, they could climb trees by sticking their fur.It's rare to see someone like Xiang Chen, who is well-behaved and gentle, and looks like a likable person.

Xiang Chen took out a big white rabbit, peeled off the wrapping paper, and handed the milky white candy to the old lady's mouth: "Grandma, you eat."

He only had two big white rabbits in his pocket, which were his daily supply for two days. After his teeth were replaced, Xu Hengzhou was afraid that he would eat his teeth, so he kept supplying sweets in limited quantities, including his favorite big white rabbits.

The old lady was surprised: "What is this?"

While she was talking, Xiang Chen fed her sugar. The old lady smashed her mouth, tasted the sweetness, and immediately opened her eyes: "It's sugar, why give it to me, an old woman, you child..."

Xiang Chen frowned, only smiled and didn't speak.

"Xiang Chen, look at the radishes I pulled out." Shito ran back, holding two big radishes in one hand.

"It's too much." Xiang Chen was surprised: "I can't take so many."

"Why can't you take it? If you can't take it, let the stone be sent to your home." The old lady is so beautiful that she has toffee in her mouth. She is so old, and she can still eat candy in the city, which is really a blessing.

"Grandma, what are you eating?" Shitou asked curiously when he heard the old lady's voice was wrong.

"Sugar, Xiang Chen gave it." The old lady smiled wrinkled all over her face: "The candy in the city is really different, very sweet."

Shi Shi took a sip of saliva, and the other children in the yard had already gathered around, all staring at the old lady eagerly.The old lady smacked her mouth again, feeling sorry for her grandson, and reached out to pick out the half-melted candy in her mouth.

"Grandma, you eat it yourself, we won't eat it." Shitou stopped the old lady, but Xiang Chen hadn't reacted yet, he saw the old lady stretching her hand to her mouth, he didn't expect that she wanted to do that.

"I have one more." Xiang Chen blinked, took out the last one and gave it to Shi Shi: "Here, here you are."

"You can't ask for it." The old lady hurriedly said, "You eat it yourself, if you don't give it to them, your family will scold you when you go home."

Xiang Chen stuffed the sugar into the stone's hand, shook the two big radishes he brought over, and said with a smile: "I have this, let my brother stew it for me when I go home, he won't scold me."

"What's the point of ordering food? By the way, you don't have a vegetable garden yet." The old lady slapped her legs and remembered that the two brothers just came. I heard that they have moved to the foot of the mountain, so they are not missing everything.

"Chunfang, go and get a basket." The old lady called her granddaughter, and the girl who was drying clothes in the yard immediately brought out a big bamboo basket. Forget it, I'll go."

The old lady was quite flexible in her legs and feet, so she led a group of baby soldiers around to the backyard and picked everything that could be picked from her vegetable garden.

While picking the old lady, she sighed: "This season is not good, if it is earlier, there will be more vegetables in our garden."

Her family is full of hardworking people, and the private land is well cleaned up and cared for carefully. There is no shortage of vegetables all year round. Even if there are only radishes and cabbage left in winter, there are dried vegetables that have been dried in other seasons to supplement.

Xiang Chen was startled, and kept shouting that enough was enough, he never thought that he could exchange for so many juicy vegetables with two candies.At first he didn't want it, thinking it was taking advantage of others, but the old lady said that if he didn't want it, she would send it home with him, and asked for a stone to return the candy to him.

Finally, the old lady packed a large basket of vegetables and asked Shi Shi to carry it back to Xiang Chen.With a helpless expression on his face, Xiang Chen followed behind Shitou, watching him run faster than him with a basket in his arms.

Not long after going out, she met Meizi, who was holding a small jar in her hand, and stuffed it directly into Xiang Chen's arms: "My mother's pickled vegetables are delicious, take them back and taste them." Ran.

"Take it, Mei Ziniang is the best at cooking side dishes." Shitou said, "I saw Sanya at the gate of my yard just now, she must have gone back and said."

Sanya is Meizi's younger sister, and she was there when she went up the mountain. She ate half of Xiang Chen's biscuit, and she remembered her clearly.

Xiang Chen felt warm in his heart, he began to like this place, this place is really different from Xu Dashan's hometown, the folk customs are simple and simple, no wonder his brother decided to bring him here after inquiring about it.

Carrying a basket of firewood on his back, when he walked to the door of the house, Xiang Chen was already out of breath. He had good physical strength, but he was only a child in his early ten years old, and he didn't have that much strength.

"Why are you so weak?" Shitou laughed at him unceremoniously, and said in surprise after laughing, "Hey, how many baskets are there in front of your house?"

Xiang Chen saw that it wasn't so, there were several bamboo utensils piled up in front of his house, there were baskets, there were baskets, and there were even bigger baskets than his.

"Where did this come from?" Xiang Chen was a little confused. Could it be that his brother asked someone to make it up?Why didn't you tell him, and it was still at the door.

Shitou put down the vegetable basket, picked up a basket, looked at it, and said with certainty: "This is from Shanzi. In the village, he is the only one who weaves the best baskets. Look at this basket, it is much better than my frame."

Because there are bamboo forests on the mountain, most people make some utensils for home use, which is cheap and convenient.But even if there are many people who know how to do it, there are good and bad skills. Grandpa Shanzi is recognized as a good skill in the village.

But being able to weave baskets is of no use. Every family in the village can weave baskets, but they are not so delicate and durable.The baskets made by Grandpa Shanzi could not be exchanged for food, so he had to keep them for his own use.

"It's pretty." Xiang Chen praised sincerely, and then asked Shitou with some distress: "Why did he give me so many things? Does his family know? Should I return them to him?"

"It's okay." Shitou waved his hand indifferently: "These things are worthless, my sister can also make them up, he must have brought them from his grandma, didn't you share the biscuits with him in the morning?"

"Just half a biscuit..." Xiang Chen was embarrassed.He felt that his sharing of biscuits was like Heiwa's sharing of apples. It was no big deal for friends to share snacks, but he didn't expect that they all wanted to repay him.

"Your dim sum in the city." Shito disapproved. He licked his lips, recalled the delicacy he ate in the morning, smacked his lips and said, "Such delicious dim sum is not worth a few broken baskets."

Xiang Chen couldn't laugh or cry, this basket is not broken, it can be called exquisite.Now that Shitou said so, he didn't want to return the things. Judging from Shanzi's personality, he seemed to be shy.

After making up his mind, Xiang Chen didn't bother anymore, he opened the door, put all the baskets into the kitchen, and Shi Shi also moved the vegetables in.

"I still worry about where to put these vegetables. Shanzi delivered this basket in time." Together with Shitou, Xiang Chen transferred the vegetables to the new basket sent by Shanzi.

"I'm going back." After Shitou helped, he bid farewell to Xiang Chen. When he left, he gave the candy to grandma for safekeeping, and he didn't know if he let the group of little boys eat it up for him.

"Let's play together next time, thank you for your food."

In the evening, when Xu Hengzhou came back from work, Xiang Chen immediately took him to see the extra things in the kitchen, and Balabala explained the source of all the things.

Xu Hengzhou looked at the basket of vegetables piled up in the kitchen and the small pickles on the stove, and raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't expect that Xiang Chen had already penetrated into the villagers before he started to act. Look These things, even without him, Xiang Chen can support himself by brushing his face, right? Is he enjoying his younger brother's blessing?

In the evening, Xu Hengzhou cooked a pot of porridge with vegetables and lean meat with the fresh vegetables in the kitchen.Because the village chief was coming, he didn't dare to cook anything with a strong taste, but he also promised Xiang Chen that he would cook radish and mutton soup for him tomorrow.

Mutton can keep out the wind and cold, and can nourish the body, so it is most suitable for eating in winter.The radishes sent by Shitou’s family are juicy and delicious. Cooking a pot of soup is delicious and warms the body.
