Although he was thinking about making a good meal, Fang Yang was not willing to kill the old hen at home and the few young hens that had just been bred last year, so he took out some eggs and planned to fry a plate. But it seemed a bit too shabby, so when he saw Dialect who was about to go out after eating porridge, his eyes lit up and he stopped them immediately.

"Uncle?"

"There's not much meat left in that house, you go to Mrs. Hua's house and help me and Boy Hua cut a piece of meat and come back."

Hearing this, Fang Yan thought about it for a while, and everyone must have known the news that Brother Hua returned to the village yesterday. Everyone in the village would occasionally go to their house to buy some or trade some wild things back. After all, the village cannot often go to town.

"Is everything okay?"

"Whatever, I'll send them the money tomorrow, try to hurry up." Fang Yang said in a hurry, then turned and entered the room, and soon she called Fang Xiu'er to help with work.

Fang Yan just took a look back and took Fang Jin out, wondering whether he should go back to the old house after delivering the things, the bowl of porridge just now was not enough for dinner, and they couldn't do it every time. Grandma Hua eats at home.

Xiao Jin probably knew that she was going to Grandma Hua's house, so she seemed much happier.

Fang Yan looked at his brisk and joyful back, and couldn't help but feel distressed. The child became more and more quiet. At his age, which child in the village would not start running around the village restlessly to play as soon as he could walk, but In the past two years, Xiao Jin either followed him or stayed at home quietly or went to Grandma Hua's house, and rarely went out to play with the children.

Just when I was about to turn into the old housing area, I happened to meet a group of children coming out of the path below, and the two met each other.

"Huh. Brother Yan, didn't you go to work today?" The leading child let out a surprise when he saw them.

Originally, he wanted the past dialect to pay attention to the past, and saw that he was quite familiar, so he responded.I don't think the group of children were very enthusiastic, and they invited the two of them to go together.

"We are going to the mountain stream to catch fish, do you want to go?"

As soon as San Zhuzi spoke, the children behind him also spoke one after another, among them were some brothers in their seven or eight years old.

"That's right, there are a lot of wild vegetables over there, brother Yan, you can come too."

Looking at these children, dialect had a slight smile on his face. He knew the place—it was the stream flowing down from the mountain of the village. The thigh of a child as big as Jin, so in summer it is the place where the children of the village often go to play.

In addition, although there is not much water there, there are some small fish, shrimps or crabs growing there. As long as you turn over those small stones, there will often be something under them, which is a good thing for children to satisfy their cravings.

Dialect's heart moved, but he lowered his head and asked Fang Jin first, "Xiao Jin is also going to play with the little brothers?" Then he raised his head and said to others: "I can't go now, I have to buy some for my aunt." Meat."

When the children heard about the meat, most of them immediately swallowed their mouths, even San Zhuzi, because they were greedy for meat, so they ran to catch fish and shrimps today while the house was not very busy.

"Then Xiaojin will go with us first?"

Feeling Fang Jin holding his hand, Fang Yan felt helpless, so he had to say again: "Why don't you go first, and we will go after I finish my work."

Those children also knew that they had to help the family first, so they didn't say anything more.

After saying goodbye to those children, Fang Yan dragged his younger brother to continue walking towards Grandma Hua's house. When he was about to arrive, he suddenly asked, "Does Xiao Jin want to eat meat?"

Dialect knew that he and Xiaojin probably wouldn't get any meat for the lunch meal later.Judging from Fang Shan's growing distaste for them recently, he probably wouldn't even leave them with minced meat.

He doesn't care, after all, it's really not his home, but he's just afraid that Xiao Jin won't get enough nutrition for a long time.

Xiao Jin nodded her head halfway, then quickly shook her head, "If my brother doesn't eat, I won't eat either."

Fang Yan couldn't help feeling sour, and immediately confirmed his thoughts, so he pinched his little nose with a smile and said, "It's okay, brother let Xiao Jin eat meat today."

After hearing this, Xiaojin didn't care about the pinched nose, but gave a happy hum, and then tilted her head in doubt after a while and asked, "Is brother also going to the mountain stream to catch fish?"

Fang Yan patted his head, "Yes, my brother will take you to catch fish later, catch a big fish and bring it back to Xiao Jin to eat, but first I need to help Auntie buy meat, Xiao Jin will wait at Grandma Hua's house first, okay?" ?”

"Well, I want to feed the bugs."

"can."

When the two arrived, Hua Chunsheng happened to be at home and was handling a pheasant. When he saw the two brothers approaching, he first said with a smile.

"It's just in time. Uncle is about to make soup for your grandma. I ate it at Uncle's house today."

Grandma Hua, who heard the voice from inside the room, also hurriedly asked the two to come in. Xiao Jin was obviously not so restrained when she arrived here, and she trotted into the house without asking her brother what he meant.Dialect knew that he just wanted to go to the backyard to see the bugs, so he didn't pull him along and walked to Hua Chunsheng by himself.

"Brother Hua is back, how was the hunt this time?"

Although Hua Chunsheng called himself an uncle, he was actually much younger than Dialect's father, and he was only in his twenties. It's just that at this age, he hadn't married a wife and had children.

Although the vast majority of rural men may not be able to marry a wife in their lifetime, it is only because the family is too poor or the temper is too bad that they can't be called relatives.But Kanhua Orion looks good, has a straightforward personality, plus he has good skills, so it stands to reason that he should not worry about being married, but I don't know why he has been single until now.

"Not bad." Hua Chunsheng replied bluntly, "By the way, this time when I went to the mountain, I happened to encounter Zhushan ginseng. You will take it back later and bring it to your sister to strengthen her body next time."

Hearing this, Fang Yan didn't refuse immediately, but frowned slightly, and asked hesitantly: "My sister..."

Hua Chunsheng suddenly realized that he had been abrupt, and annoyance flashed across his face, "Well, I happened to go down that side when I was going down the mountain, and I happened to meet your sister, probably because I was too busy recently. Didn’t your father take care of my mother and me before? Now that your brothers are still so young, I just want to repay you.

It's not a precious thing either, don't laugh at uncle for not being able to get it out. "As a result, the more he explained, the more misleading he became. In the end, Hua Chunsheng was so annoyed that he didn't know what to say.

Seeing the big man blushing and explaining, the dialect didn't find it funny at all, but was full of gratitude in his heart, "I see, next time I have free time I will go back there to see my sister, anyway, I will mention my sister first, thank you .”

Seeing that he did not misunderstand, Hua Chunsheng was obviously relieved, and concentrated on plucking chicken feathers again.At this time, Fang Yan also remembered what his aunt ordered, and quickly asked him if he had any extra meat. When Hua Chunsheng heard that his aunt wanted it, he pondered for a while and got up and went in to take a piece of bacon hanging above the firepit. Come on, it looks like it weighs more than a catty.

"My mother waxed this one years ago. I sold out the fresh ones yesterday. You can take this back to your uncle."

"Thank you, Brother Hua."

***

Fang Yang was very satisfied with the bacon brought back by Fang Yan, and the smile on his face widened a bit, and he turned a blind eye to the fact that Fang Xiu'er secretly stuffed eggs when Fang Yan left.

Fang Yan was very grateful to this young lady, but when he left, he still asked if he could give him an embroidery needle and some thread. Although Fang Xiuer was puzzled, she suddenly smiled after two seconds, and immediately went back to the room to get it. The needle came out, and a small piece of cloth was brought along. After finishing, he said teasingly that if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask her.

Now it was the dialect's turn to be puzzled, but seeing that he got the needle so smoothly, he didn't care about why she said that. After thanking her, he returned to Hua's house with a needle, thread and two boiled eggs, and grandma Hua He said that he would take his younger brother to play for a while, and borrowed a dustpan and a basket from them, and then led Fang Jin out of the house under the urging of the two wives.

When the two arrived at the stream, there were already people playing in the downstream where there was a lot of water. Not far away, some young brothers were picking wild vegetables. The laughter of the children made the place extremely lively.

Because it is close to the foot of the mountain, there are quite a lot of trees here, so it is not very hot, no wonder children like to come here to play.Xiaojin was still a little cautious at the beginning, and kept following the dialect to help catch the dustpan and wait under the current so that his brother could catch fish and shrimp down.

Probably it is often caught by children here. The fish and shrimp here are very clever and difficult to catch with bare hands, but if you hold a bamboo basket or a dustpan to block the water flow and chase them, you will always be able to catch some. .

The children also treat it as a game, and some of them are brothers or cousins ​​together, one catches the dustpan and the other catches the upstream, cooperates to catch fish, and we will see who catches more later.Some of them were just playing in the water and watching the fun. Whenever someone caught it, the children would roar excitedly, which made the atmosphere more lively and the children became more active and eager.

Affected by the atmosphere, Xiaojin soon followed the others and yelled happily, and later played water fights with a few others his age, while Dialect was picking wild vegetables near the shore, occasionally paying attention to On my brother's side, seeing them having fun, hearing their laughter, and the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops made me feel much more at ease.

What a rare moment of relaxation.

In the middle of the game, the children were hungry and did not go home, so they simply lit a fire on the bank, and then went to the foot of the mountain to get a clump of bamboo and cut a bamboo back. With help, the bamboo joints are cut in half. Fill the stream with water and put it directly on the fire, and then throw in the small fish and shrimps caught before. Once the water boils, the fish and shrimps in it are basically cooked. , They don't mind that there is no oil and salt, so they just start grabbing.

Crabs are even simpler: pull out their feet and throw them into the fire, pick them out with a stick when their shells turn red, wash them in the stream water, then break off their shells, and then just gnaw like this, and they bite so loudly, The little one was so greedy that he swallowed his saliva.Those who couldn't stand it took the crab legs that the brothers had broken off and threw them into the fire, and then ate them with bites.

Although they found that they were all hard shells, they ate happily.

Dialect broke out in a cold sweat when he saw it, he was really afraid that they would have problems eating it, so he forbade his younger brother to eat crab legs, even the roasted crab body that Sanzhuzi handed over in a friendly way, he also refused, although in his memory he He did this a lot when he was a child, but that was when he didn't fully remember it.

However, today is indeed a very happy day for them for more than two years.

***

The sun was going to the west, so Fang Yan took his younger brother back, but he went back to Hua's house first to return the dustpan basket, and left half a basket of wild vegetables for them by the way, but refused Hua Hua's grandma's dissuasion, and the two brothers finally ate her specially. Leave them chicken legs and a bowl of soup.

Grandma Hua kept saying that they shouldn't go to play here and haven't come back for a long time to eat. The chicken soup is not good now, so Dialect had to smile and apologize while eating, saying that she had forgotten the time when she heard it. Grandma Hua suddenly stopped. After mumbling, he stroked the heads of the two benevolently and then staggered away.

She came back with two pairs of straw sandals in her hand, "Grandma doesn't have much skills, I wanted to make a pair of shoes for you, but... this one was just made this morning, brother Yan will be cooler when he is doing work."

Looking at the smooth straw sandals, dialect's eyes turned hot. He knew the meaning of her unfinished words. If he took the cloth shoes that Grandma Hua gave back, the aunt would be upset. After all, he and his younger brother live in the uncle's house. House's.

"Thank you grandma, the shoes are very good to wear, I like them very much."

"I like it too~Thank you grandma~" Fang Jin also said aloud, looking up at his greasy little face.

Grandma Hua immediately laughed, and even the dialect was distracted from her other thoughts, and then she laughed, "Next time you eat chicken legs, remember to help grandma with work, you know?"

"Yeah!" The child nodded vigorously, which caused the two of them to laugh again.

The good mood dissipated when I arrived at the uncle's house.

Fang Yan suppressed the rest of the expression on his face, went in with a small basket of wild vegetables, and whispered to the uncle's family who were all in the house, "I picked some wild vegetables back."

The uncle only responded silently, but he always asked their gentle elder brother Fang He if he was hungry, and said that Fang Xiuer was already cooking and could eat after a while.

Dialect looked at the uncle who bowed his head silently over there, and then at the aunt Fang Yang who was also sullen on the other side. Just as he was about to respond to Fang He, the curtain of the room on the right was lifted suddenly, and Fang Shan came out, followed by Yin Yang who said strangely: "Hmph! How can people care about our food! Our family doesn't have chicken legs and chicken soup. I think I'm so happy to be in someone else's house that I don't want to come back."

"Fang Shan!" Fang He snorted.

Fang Shan kept talking but spoke even more vigorously, "Mom, I think you might as well agree with that person, not to mention the elder brother, even I am 16, and I am not even half a family now, so it's okay for the younger sister to say yes." , but our family has so many mouths to eat, who will dare to come to the door in the future? Is it possible that the guy really wants it?"

"Shut up!" It was the uncle who said this time.

Seeing that he was an uncle, Fang Shan finally managed to keep his mouth shut, but his face was still reconciled, with the expression that he was right.

"His father?" Aunt Fang Yang was obviously moved by the words, so she looked at the uncle hesitantly.

The uncle suddenly sighed, and said to Yan with a little dejection: "Yan'er, you go in and help Xiu'er cook, wash those wild vegetables and fry them later."

Dialect responded, knowing that this was an uncomfortable topic for him to listen to, but judging from Fang Shan's eyes and tone before, this topic should obviously be aimed at him.
