The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

It was already very lively at the foot of the mountain. The construction team had a day off today. After breakfast, we all went to the town market to buy some local specialties and take them home for the current year.

  After visiting the market, we returned to Taoli Village and cooked sheep pot with the villagers.

  "Wow! Xu Mingyu, Xu Minghai, your village is so lively! What are you doing? Killing pigs?"

  The two children of Mr. Xu's family just finished their final exams yesterday. The school gave them two days off. They will return to school on Monday to make up for one week of classes before officially having winter vacation.

  As for high school students, more than [-]% of schools across the country are like this.

  The two brothers didn't bring any thick clothes with them last time. They still wore short sleeves under their school uniforms, and their noses were so cold that they had snot and bubbles. They took advantage of the holiday and hurried home to get some thick clothes.

  My roommate didn't go home this week, and he just finished the exam and couldn't read in school, so he came with them.

  The two brothers Xu Mingyu were also a little confused: "I don't know! It's not so early to kill the pig, right?"

  He remembered that in previous years, he had to wait until around the Lunar New Year to kill the pigs. After killing the New Year pigs, he would make pig blood cakes to honor the Kitchen God.

  It’s at least more than a week away from the New Year! Did you kill the New Year pig so early this year?
  "Mingyu, Minghai, are you on holiday?" The village chief's wife took several women to pick lettuce in the vegetable field. When she came back, she wrapped the roasted lamb and ate it greasy. When she met Xu Laosan's two sons, she said happily, "Your school is quite good. It's better to put it out early than to put it out wisely. It just happens to coincide with the first Sheep Pot Festival in our village. Put your schoolbags and go to my house to roast the lamb. Isn't this the best thing for you young people?"

  "Roast mutton? Auntie, our village is killing sheep? Isn't it killing pigs?"

  "It's still early for the Year of the Pig, at least for another week. We'll eat mutton today, kill two sheep, and prepare a lot of other dishes, which is enough for us. Are these two your classmates? Let's go together! Don't polite!"

  "..."

  The village chief's wife walked a few steps, but she didn't know what she thought of. She turned around and told the brothers: "Mingyu, Minghai, you don't have to open fire at home this month. When you come back, you will go to the canteen in front of our house to eat, right?"

  "..."

  I do not know!

  The two brothers looked at each other with confused expressions on their faces.

  "Didn't my old man tell you? Oh, I remembered it!"

  The village chief's wife patted her forehead.

  When the Xu Group came to Taoli Village to discuss the nursing home project, the two brothers followed their sixth uncle to work in the hardware factory during the summer vacation. After that, they hurried back to school to make up for classes. They were also in a hurry to get their signatures, and they probably didn't get it right. clear.

  "Fortunately, this is a good thing. If it had been a bad thing, you would have suffered." The village chief's wife said, "In the future, when I ask you to sign, I must ask clearly, do you know?"

  The two brothers scratched their heads: "We rushed to school. When we heard that the village chief took the lead in signing, and other families also signed, we signed. The village chief would never lie to us."

  "..."

  The village chief’s wife couldn’t help laughing:

  "Okay, this is your uncle's fault. How can I not tell you the whole story clearly? I will punish him to roast you more mutton later. I see you are thin, so you should make up for it during the holiday."

  The village chief's wife hurried to the vegetable field, and two of Xu Mingyu's classmates punched the two brothers on the shoulders:
  "Good guy! Your village is so lucky!"

  "I remember that this matter was on the news. Why do I have this impression? Because during the summer vacation, my mother talked about this matter at the dinner table every day, saying that the people in this village are so happy, and they only have a penny in their old age. Even if you don’t have any savings, you don’t have to worry about providing for your retirement. I wonder which village is so lucky, and it’s your village that has been doing it for a long time! I’ll go! Brother, please help me from now on!”

  "Wang Wang!"

  The big yellow dog recognized the Xu Mingyu brothers. These were its former little masters!

  Rushing toward them affectionately.

  "Rhubarb!" Xu Mingyu touched its hair in surprise, "You are so strong! I almost didn't recognize you."

  "I heard from Uncle Liu that Dahuang is now guarding building materials at the construction site. He is half an employee of a subsidiary of the Xu Group, and his daily meal is better than ordinary people!" Xu Minghai also squatted down and made out with Dahuang.

  When Uncle Liu went to the city to buy vegetables last month, he stopped by the school to see them and asked them if they had enough living expenses. If they had enough, he forced them five hundred yuan. Among so many relatives, Uncle Six was the only one who cared about the two brothers.

  The two brothers hugged Dahuang, their eyes a little moist.

  The two classmates stood on the left and right, wondering how to comfort them.

  The shouts of their sixth uncle could be heard in the distance: "Mingyu, Minghai, are you on vacation? Come on, come on! Come and roast the lamb. I'll leave it to you guys to roast the whole lamb! Let's go get some side dishes and prepare them." Take out the mutton pot!"

  Their sixth aunt was standing next to them. When she saw them waving, she took out a thick envelope from her pocket: "Here, this is your family's rent for half a year. Aunt Six went to the city some time ago and brought you [-] yuan for living expenses." Right? This is the remaining rent after deducting five hundred. Keep it and don’t throw it away."

  Brothers: "..."

  Why did Bai suddenly feel moved?

  "What rent?" The two classmates were confused.

  "Oh, someone wanted to rent a spare room in my house, so the village chief uncle rented it out for us. Even if Aunt Six didn't tell me, I had forgotten about it."

  "Brother, how much is the rent? I see the envelope is so thick! It's not all ten or fifty dollar bills, right?"

  "..."

  When I opened it, I saw it was full of hundred-dollar bills.

  After a rough count, it was about five thousand and five thousand. If you don't count the five hundred given to them in advance, it was exactly six thousand.

  Six thousand in half a year is equal to one thousand in a month.

  The two brothers looked at each other.

  Being able to rent at such a price in the village is a ceiling, right?
  Even though the room in his house is relatively deep and is worth two rooms in an ordinary house, one thousand a month is really not cheap.

  "Silly boy, this was done with some favor money in it." Aunt Six explained for them, "They renovated your house and were worried that you would be unhappy, so they paid more rent. Isn't that good? Well? You don’t have to worry about your living expenses next year. Don’t do odd jobs during the winter vacation. Take a good rest during the New Year. Look at how thin you two are. It will be difficult to make up for the physical losses you suffered when you were young! You don’t need to start the fire yourself now anyway. Eat three meals a day in the cafeteria. The food in the cafeteria is always good. After the winter vacation, I will make sure that each of you has gained five pounds..."

  Aunt Xu Liu was busy taking out the lamb pot, and left in a hurry after saying a few words. Before leaving, she urged them to hurry up: "The food will be served soon, and there will be a lottery show soon! As I said, there will be a small picture of the big prize." It’s fun, everyone can win. But of course it’s best to win the first prize, which is [-] in cash!”

  "..."

  The two classmates were extremely envious:

  "Your village is so nice! I'll treat you to a roasted whole lamb for free... No, to be precise, it should be a whole lamb feast, and you can also draw a grand prize!"

  “Can I still transfer my household registration to my village?”

  "That's not allowed!" Brother Xu Mingyu looked at each other and smiled, "The village chief mentioned it when he asked us to sign, saying that those who had just moved their household registrations two years ago would have no way to come back."

  "Is there really nothing I can do?"

  "Not at all."

  "What way? Say it quickly!"

  "You can come to our village and be our door-to-door son-in-law, hahahaha..."

  For the first time since their father's death, the brothers laughed so freely.

  Two classmates: "..." (End of chapter)
