Zhao Mo Xiu Mo

Hearing what he said, Sanwa pounced on his thigh with a straight face, wrapped her arms around the thigh, and pierced her little head into the gap between the two legs, and a crisp voice came out: "No, I'll go Help big brother."

He fell in love with this movement recently, hugging Zhao Mo in this posture gave him a feeling of firmly controlling Zhao Mo in his hands.Fortunately, Zhao Mo has thin legs and narrow waist and hips, otherwise he would really not be able to get around with his short arms.

These words made Zhao Mo feel like an iron post in his heart, and he really wanted to put the child on the tip of his heart.It was inconvenient for him to hug Sanwa with the bowl in his hand, so he bent down, kissed the back of the fluffy head several times, and promised repeatedly: "Okay! Sanwa is the most sensible, help big brother Go beat the chestnuts!"

At this time, not to mention that Sanwa wanted to chase him up the mountain to hunt chestnuts, even if Sanwa said that he wanted the stars and the moon, he would agree without thinking.

The touch from the back of the head made Sanwa's small body stiff for a moment, but he soon relaxed again, enjoying Zhao Mo's proactive intimacy with peace of mind.

Although this guy always likes to kiss himself regardless of the occasion, but this is at home and in front of that man, Sanwa secretly thought in his heart that he doesn't mind letting him kiss directly on the face now.

It's a pity that when he raised his head, Zhao Mo had already straightened up, buried his face and stuffed noodles into his mouth.

Jiang Yunxuan leaned against the door and watched, his eyes fell on Zhao Mo, there was both helplessness and appreciation in his smiling eyes.He thought it was too hard for Xiao Mo to raise a family and support two younger brothers like a little adult before he was an adult.Looking at it now, Xiao Mo's feelings for his two younger brothers, especially the careful but older third brother, were deeply hurt to the bone.

After drinking the soup in the bowl, Zhao Mo handed the bowl and chopsticks to Zhao Jun and asked him to clean it up.Zhao Jun raised the water and asked him, "Brother, did Brother Zhu send the chestnut tree pole back to our house?"

"Not yet, let's go to Auntie's house and get it when we go out." Zhao Mo was squatting down and stretching the pant legs for Sanwa, "Hey, I didn't pay attention when I was sitting on the kang. Why is it a bit short!"

Sanwa kept a stern face and didn't speak, just stood still and let Zhao Mo pull his trouser legs down.Although he couldn't see it with a blank face, he was actually a little bit dissatisfied with the surprise on Zhao Mo's face and voice, and he dared to suspect that he was growing fast, who was that guy who sneaked and kissed him all day while he was asleep!

Zhao Jun poked his head over to take a look, then retracted his head, walked around Jiang Yunxuan and went to the corner of the main room where the cupboard was placed.He put the bowls and chopsticks into the cupboard and said, "He's grown! Children grow up fast, and the third child eats all day long except for sleeping. Last year's clothes and pants must have been shorter."

"Fortunately, the clothes I bought for him a while ago had to be one size bigger, otherwise it would have been useless." Zhao Mo tugged twice, seeing that the ankle was no longer exposed, he didn't pull it down again, and began to give three clothes. The baby tidied the clothes on it, and muttered to herself: "As it is so long, I don't know if I can wear the winter padded jacket. Let's talk about it later. Anyway, I will go to the mountain today, so I can use this clothes to waste, and I will change it when I come back... ..."

After he babbled about getting Sanwa ready all over, Zhao Jun also wiped his hands, changed into a pair of old dark-colored trousers and rubber shoes, and came out.

Zhao Mo looked him up and down, and felt that there was no problem, so he said to Jiang Yunxuan who had been standing at the door watching them silently: "Brother Jiang, didn't you say yesterday that you mainly want to stroll on Calabash Mountain? I also want to go to the mountain to hunt chestnuts, you can go with us, so that you can have a companion!"

"I think so too." Jiang Yunxuan took a step forward and put his arm on his shoulder. He didn't look like a cold and iron-blooded soldier, but rather like a hooligan: "I said Xiao Mo, you usually Are they all taking care of Xiaojun and Sanwa like a father and a mother?"

"Almost." Zhao Mo felt that he was about to be crushed by his pressed arm, struggling to get out of the steel pliers-like arm, "Take Sanwa and wait for me outside first, I will Go get the baskets and sacks from the shed in the back yard."

Jiang Yunxuan laughed, glanced provocatively at the child who was staring fiercely at his arm, and said, "Sanba, can I use Big Brother Jiang to carry you?"

"Huh!" Sanwa snorted coldly, turned around and walked out the door.

Seeing that they both went out the door, Zhao Mo called Zhao Jun who was next to him to wait outside the door, and told him: "Go and knock on the door of the fat aunt next door, and take our chestnut tree pole. We took the things and locked the door, and we went straight up the mountain."

Zhao Jun agreed, and ran out the door in a hurry.Zhao Mo went to the firewood shed in the backyard and pulled out a half-person-high weaving basket, and found six or seven big sacks from a shelf in the shaded corner, then folded the sacks and stuffed them into the back basket, and carried them on the back as soon as he was short.

In addition to the household items for storing chestnuts, Zhao Mo also brought two sickles, one is half-new, and the other is so rusty that it can't cut anything, it is specially used to smash chestnuts outside in autumn For thorn shells.

As for small things like the nylon ropes used to bind the bags, they were all stuffed into the sacks in the back basket by him, but he didn't bring any water for drinking. He thought that there is a mountain spring on the mountain anyway, and he went directly to the spring when he was thirsty after work. Just hold two handfuls of water to drink.

After everything was packed, Zhao Mo walked around the house again, making sure there was nothing missing before leaving the house.

Jiang Yunxuan outside and the three of them have been waiting at the door for a while.Jiang Yunxuan was empty-handed and dressed in black casual clothes, as if he was going on a mountaineering excursion.Zhao Jun stood beside him, holding a long chestnut tree pole and fiddling with it.

Sanwa was standing closest to the door. As soon as he saw Zhao Mo walking out of the door, he came up to him. If Zhao Mo hadn't been able to carry a scythe on his back, he would have stuck to Zhao Mo's thigh again.Even if there was no expression change on his little face, the two people next to his little eyes that immediately became brighter when Zhao Mo came out could see it.

Zhao Mo freed up a hand to hold his little hand, and then called Jiang Yunxuan and Zhao Jun to walk in the direction of Calabash Mountain.

They came out early, before seven o'clock.But the past few days are just when everyone is busy beating and picking chestnuts, so I met a lot of people along the way.

Everyone is from the village, and they will say hello when they meet.Zhao Mo's family used to be quite popular in the area under the poplar tree, and the uncles and aunts in the neighborhood were also willing to take care of these three poor children who had no parents.

So they stopped and stopped along the way, and they would stop to say hello to people they knew, and many people would ask about Jiang Yunxuan. Zhao Mo was honest and kind, and would greet everyone he met.Fortunately, Jiang Yunxuan made an agreement with him earlier and said that he was Zhao Mo's distant cousin who came to play, so Zhao Mo would not be overwhelmed.

When they finally reached the land of Zhao Mo's house along the mountain road, Zhao Mo was already sweating profusely.The weather in the morning is very cool now, and the backpack is not heavy at all. The sweat on his head is not from tiredness or sun exposure, but from nervousness.

Mountain roads are no different than flat land. Some places are narrow, some places have stones, and some places are not easy to walk with potholes. Adults can walk fine, but children should pay more attention to their feet when walking, otherwise they are easy to trip.

Along the way, the three children obediently let Zhao Mo take his hand and follow Zhao Mo. Even when they went up the mountain, they followed behind Zhao Mo's buttocks. Their short legs were twitching vigorously, no matter what Zhao Mo said. He just refused to let Brother Jiang, who was walking behind, carry him on his back.

The chestnut tree pole was a bit long, and Zhao Jun had to be careful when walking with it. He couldn't spare his hands to control Sanwa, and Sanwa refused to let him hold him.Jiang Yunxuan proposed to help Zhao Mo carry the basket so that he could carry the third baby by himself, but Zhao Mo didn't have the nerve to agree.

In fact, how can their children be so delicate?The day before, Uncle Zhao's house was beating chestnuts, and Sister Liping's Da Zhuang was only five years old, and he was still running on the mountain road by himself.These children are very wild. They have crawled in the mud and rolled in the dirt since they were young. Going up mountains and rivers, catching fish and birds are all things they have done since they were young.

Zhao Mo knew in his heart that he spoiled Sanwa too much.This section of the mountain road is not steep, Sanwa walks in the middle, and there are adults guarding the front and back, he really doesn't need to take a step and look back, for fear that Sanwa is tired and falls down, which makes him sweat all over.

But even though the truth in his heart was clear, Zhao Mo was still nervous all the way, and he was relieved until he turned to the land where chestnut trees were planted in their house.

After getting off the mountain road, Zhao Mo took off the pannier on his back and put it on the ground, then squatted in front of Sanwa, looked left and right, rubbed his arms and legs.He made an excuse for himself in his heart: After all, Sanwa is different from normal children. He has suffered a head injury, and he has only recovered from his stupid illness for a few months, so he has to pay close attention to everything.

"Brother, let's start from this one?" Zhao Jun stood under a chestnut tree on the far side with a pole, looked around with his neck up, and then called Zhao Mo.

"Put the pole there!" Zhao Mo was placing Sanwa on the ridge and sat down, folded a sack under his little buttocks and folded several layers for him to cushion, "I'll beat it, you sit here and wait, Look at Sanwa, when I finish this tree, you will pick it up in the sack when you come over..."

Jiang Yunxuan stood on the ridge, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and watched Zhao Mo explain Zhao Jun how to work with a decent face.Compared with the tall and handsome Zhao Jun, Zhao Mo was not tall, and he couldn't show his figure even in a pair of old gray homemade clothes that didn't fit well. With his regular but not brilliant facial features, he was really inconspicuous at all.

However, the earnest look on his face, the resolute eyes, and the warm smile at the corner of his mouth made it possible to feel a pure warmth and down-to-earth spirit when looking at others carefully.Jiang Yunxuan looked at it, and was a little fascinated.

"Brother Jiang!"

A cry brought Jiang Yunxuan back to his senses.He looked up to the side where the sound came from, and saw Zhao Mo riding on a thick tree branch, poking his head out to look in his direction.

Seeing Jiang Yunxuan looking over, Zhao Mo changed his hand and grabbed the chestnut tree pole, and shouted at him: "Brother Jiang, we have to fight for a long time for this piece of chestnut trees, so you can do whatever you want!" After Jiang Yunxuan shouted, he began to crackle the chestnuts.

This year the chestnuts are so thick that one tree can bear as much fruit as two trees in previous years.Although there are many chestnuts that have opened their mouths at this time, there are still more that have not been split and have to be knocked off the tree together with the chestnut thorns and shells.

After beating the chestnuts, the next step is to pick them up. Some chestnuts that fall to the ground have prickly skins and some are bare, so they have to be packed separately.Hitting chestnuts is strenuous and tiring. Picking them up is easier than it is, but the old cat is also tiring picking them up. As for picking up the chestnuts that have been left out in the chestnut tree farm, those are small jobs after these two big jobs are done. .

Zhao Mo worked neatly, and his hands were quick to move, and he finished knocking down a tree in a short while.He immediately changed to another tree, climbed up the tree after a few rubs, and started working without stopping.

At this time, Zhao Jun also walked down the ridge with a sack and started to do his work.He squatted under the tree next to each other and picked up the chestnuts that fell on the ground. He put the bare chestnuts in one bag, which could be sold directly on the scale; The chestnuts can only be picked out by smashing them open.

Fearing that the thorns would pierce his hands, Zhao Jun used two tree branches as chopsticks, grabbed the chestnut balls and threw them into the sack one by one.Sanwa also squatted next to him, also holding two branches in her small hands, imitating his movements to pick up chestnuts.

Seeing the child with a straight face, solemnly pick up a prickly ball, and then carefully put it into the open sack on the ground, there is a kind of indescribable joy, not ordinary interesting, but very interesting.
