Crossing the green wheat ears

Every day after learning how to read characters with my brother and eating extra meals made by my brother, Xi Wei and Wei Cheng had more than an hour to play with their friends in the village.After more than half a year's effort, Wei Cheng has really made a few good friends, the kind of friends who are not to curry favor with him for the fun in his hands and the delicious food in his mouth, but those who simply like to play with him .In addition to the pillars of Grandpa Wang San's family, there are also Zhao Lin from Zhao Laoba's family, Xie Mingli from Xie Xuedong's family, and Cheng Nan from Cheng Yi's family.

The other children knew that Xi Wei and the others had to learn calligraphy with their elder brother every day. Although they envied them, they knew that their adults didn't have much contact with the Xi family, they couldn't open their mouths, and they couldn't follow them like pillars, so they didn't pester the family.They set a good time every day, and when the time came, the little ones would get together to play.

It is already cold now, the permafrost layer on the surface has reached the thickness of a fist, and the temperature is below zero during the day, and the water in the pond is already frozen solid, so some children sometimes go to a small pond near the village. Wa skating, they just skating with their feet on the ice, after a few days, the soles of the good cotton shoes were almost slippery, and they were beaten by the adults with feather dusters. Later, Xiyuan couldn't see it, so he and Xi Mingwen gave it to Wei Cheng and Xi Wei each made a pair of roller skates. They said they were roller skates, but they actually sawed a thin board of hard wood into the size of a shoe, fixed two thick iron wires under each board, and tied the board with a strong rope. Strap to the shoe so you can slide on the ice.

The two of Wei Cheng didn't hide their secrets. When they were alone, the two pairs of roller skates were exchanged for fun.

In addition, Xiyuan made them a wooden spinning top, each of the children tied a small whip with a hemp rope, and when they were not skating, they found an open space to play with the spinning top with the whip.

Because they always play together, the children seem to have become a small group, but it is not easy for other children in the village to join.Although sometimes there will be a little awkwardness between each other, but children, if they are angry today, they will not play together, and they will reconcile without waiting for anyone to make peace tomorrow, and the anger will not last long.So Xiyuan is very relieved that the children will play together, and because Wei Cheng is the best at playing among the children, so despite his small size, he has faintly become the core figure among the children. Everyone listens to him, including Xi Wei.

One day, a few children were playing with spinning tops in the open space next to Cheng Nan's house in the middle of the village. Each of them held a small whip, sweating profusely, and yelling loudly.At this time, a person came out from behind the pile of firewood in Cheng Nan's house, and it was Wei Cheng's father Wei Laoer.Wei's second son had been eyeing Wei Cheng for a few days, and found that Wei Cheng would come out to play with these children in the village every day at noon.He originally planned to call Wei Cheng when he was alone, ask Xi Mingwen's family to come to Qiandaoer, or use Wei Cheng to complete the part of the things he planned, whether it be intimidation or lure, find a way to call him. Wei Cheng cooperates.However, Wei's second child never got the chance, because every time Wei Cheng came out, Xi Wei and Zhu Zi followed him, and the other children often couldn't wait, and ran to Xi Wei before they came out. Waiting outside the gate of the house.

Wei's second son was really impatient and couldn't wait any longer, so even though there were several other children present, he still came out to look for Wei Cheng.

"Wei Cheng, come here for a while." Wei Er Er called to Wei Cheng.He didn't take Wei Cheng seriously, Wei Cheng scared him before, he told Wei Cheng what to do, Wei Cheng didn't dare to resist, otherwise, if he caught him, he would be beaten up.

Maybe it's because of the prestige from the past, or maybe it happened suddenly, Wei Cheng was stunned after Wei's second called him, and he habitually walked two steps towards Wei's second and then stopped, his face was a bit pale Pale, with a hint of timidity in his eyes.Since being brought back to the West by his elder brother, his life seems to have come from hell to heaven all of a sudden. He is happy every day, and the shadow of his previous miserable life is gradually forgotten. When he went to the village to play with his friends, he He also deliberately avoided places where Wei's family might show up. He thought that as long as he didn't meet them face to face, people and things in the past would be far away from him!But now, Wei's second child suddenly appeared in front of him, and Wei Cheng realized that as long as the Wei family wanted to, he would be held in the palm of their hands like a little chick.

"Brother Chengzi, run! Go home and find brother! Hurry up!" Seeing Wei Cheng standing still, Xi Wei shouted anxiously. This is what Xiyuan told them repeatedly. In the village, no matter where, as long as When he met Wei's second child and his wife, he told Wei Cheng not to say anything, but to run home immediately.

"Chengzi, hurry up, run!" Zhuzi hurriedly called Wei Cheng when he heard Xi Wei's shout.

As soon as he mentioned his elder brother, Wei Cheng immediately remembered his elder brother's advice, turned around and ran west from the gate of Cheng Nan's courtyard without even looking at Wei's second son.

"Hey, Wei Cheng, stop for me, I'll see you run again!" Wei's second child never expected Wei Cheng to react like this.Dazed for a moment, he raised his foot and wanted to chase Wei Cheng, but before he had taken two steps, Xi Wei stood in front of him, and the pillars saw him, and surrounded him with a clatter.Xi Wei was even more amusing, he didn't wait for Wei's second child to react, and burst into tears with a "wow", Xi Wei was really afraid that Wei Cheng would be caught up, and his brother also told him that Wei's second child wanted to find Wei Cheng. Cheng's trouble, Wei Cheng's task is to run quickly, his task is to cry loudly, it doesn't matter if there are tears or not.Xi Wei remembered his brother's words firmly!

As soon as Xi Wei cried, the Zhuzi and the others followed suit and started crying too. They just watched the excitement and it was no big deal, and it didn't rain if there was thunder.

When Xi Wei and the others cried, Wei's second son panicked. It's okay for Wei Cheng to cry in front of him. He is Wei Cheng's father, and it's only natural for him to take care of his own baby, and he can't get in the way of other people's business.But Xi Wei was different, he was a child of Lao Xi's family, and the villagers saw him and said that he was just an adult bullying children, and it was justified or unreasonable.

This is also the reason why Xiyuan drove Wei Er Er with an ax last year, but Wei Er Er dared not fight back. In addition, because Wei Lao Er is a man, people in the village don't like to see him, so no matter who is right or wrong, everyone will have a feeling in their hearts. biased towards.People are like this. Once a bad impression is left in people's minds, it will not be easy to change it in the future.

Xi Wei's move was very effective, and all the nearby villagers howled out.Some villagers waited and watched in their yards, while others walked over to see what was going on.

"What's the matter?" Cheng Yi and his wife are sorting out the warehouse at home, food, rice bran, dried vegetables... People say that a broken house is worth a lot of money, and I usually think that there are not many things in the house, so it is quite troublesome to sort it out.While he was busy, he suddenly heard the voices of children crying, and one of them sounded like his own Cheng Nan.Cheng Yi hastily put down his work and ran out, followed by his wife. They knew that Cheng Nan and the others were playing in an empty field near their home, and they could hear the cheerful laughter of a few children just now. Cried?And not just one cry?

The couple came to the empty space suspiciously, and saw Wei's second child standing there with his hands open, surrounded by a few little radish heads and howling loudly with their mouths open.Cheng Yi didn't like it when he saw it. His child was playing near the house, and he provoked someone to make the child like this!So the tone of the question is not very good.

"He kicked our firewood pile!" Cheng Nan replied while howling.

Wei Cheng ran away just now, and a few children came again, Wei's second son was so angry that he had no other way to vent his anger, so he kicked the firewood stack next to him twice, Cheng Nan saw it now Yes, his father will file a complaint as soon as he comes out.

"Second Wei, what's the matter with you, my family's firewood pile is in the way of your business?" Cheng Yi has a fiery temper, and he will catch fire when he hears his son say this, and immediately asks Wei's second with a face.

"..." Second Wei was furious, he just wanted to ask his son to say a few words, who did he recruit?Who did you mess with?This little bastard, what do you think he ran?Catch him!Old Wei secretly hated him.There is also that little one from the Xi family, who is not too big-hearted and has a lot of eyes, with a howling voice!

"It's okay, it's okay, Cheng Yi, don't be angry, I'm just teasing these kids, they can't help but tease, hehe." No way, Wei Er Er explained to Cheng Yi with a smile on his face.He knew that Cheng Yi was not easy to mess with.

"It's okay, why are you teasing the child? I think you are too idle." Cheng Yi's tone was still not very good, but he didn't hold on to it. He weighed this matter and probably had something to do with Wei Cheng. Wei Cheng just now He saw it when he was playing here, and now he disappeared in a blink of an eye. It was Wei's second fault that he couldn't run away. Although he was not afraid of Wei's second, he didn't want to have any grudges with him for no reason.

"Yeah, second child, why don't you help us with some work when you are free? The whole family is busy, and you are so idle, we are all jealous." The villagers behind him also laughed.

"Okay, call me if you have anything to do, nothing else." Wei Er also quickly got off the donkey, turned and left.

Xi Wei saw that Wei's second child was gone, so he hurried home, he had to go back to see brother Cheng Zi.Zhu Zi and several other children followed behind.

"Hey, Xiao Nan, Cheng Nan, where are you going? Come back to me." Cheng Nanniang shouted at Cheng Nan.

"I'm going to Xiao Wei's house, and I'll be back in a while." Cheng Nan replied while running.

"Oh, this child, I'm waiting for you to come back." Cheng Nanniang said helplessly.

"Just go, it's not that you won't come back." Cheng Yi said to his wife, he still supported Cheng Nan to play with the children of the Xi family, and he didn't envy the pillars of the Wang family, if... well, if he could be like a pillar Following Xi Yuan, the boss of the Xi family, to learn how to read, he didn't mind helping Xi Mingwen beat Wei's second child.

Xi Wei and the others met his grandma who came to look for him as soon as they ran halfway. Originally, when Wei Cheng went back to learn the matter, grandpa was worried and wanted to come to Xi Wei, but grandma knew that grandpa had a stubborn temper and was afraid that he would fight with Wei's second child. How could the old man beat the big and round Wei's second son, so grandma stopped grandpa from calling, and she came to find Xi Wei by herself.

"Grandma!" Xi Wei rushed over when he saw grandma.

"Son, are you alright, are you crying? Wei Er Er hit you?" Grandma asked worriedly when she saw that Xi Wei's face was crying like a cat with a painted face.

"No, grandma, I cried before he hit me." Xi Wei returned.Now thinking about how he cried just now, he felt a little embarrassed again.

"We all cried together." Zhu Zi said beside him.

"Yeah." The other little boys also nodded together.

"Let's go home." Grandma led Xi Wei and several children home.

At home, Wei Cheng was nestled in his brother's arms, and Xi Yuan was setting up a small pot on the charcoal brazier to bake potato chips in order to appease him.Originally, Xiyuan was sitting on the kang and reading a book, when he saw Wei Cheng rushing into the house, without even saying hello to the people in the main room, he went directly into the inner room and threw himself on his brother on the kang.

"Chengzi, what's the matter?" Grandpa, grandma and Xiyuan's mother saw that Wei Cheng was different from every day, so they quickly followed Wei Cheng in and asked.

"Don't worry, talk slowly." Xiyuan put down the book and took Wei Cheng into his arms. Wei Cheng would not be afraid once he got to his brother's side. The distance from Cheng Nan's house to his own house was not too far for Wei Cheng. From the beginning, my brother asked him and Xi Wei to get up every morning for running, hitting sandbags, and practicing boxing. Xi Wei was sometimes lazy, but Wei Cheng never stopped all day, so Wei Cheng only looked thinner and had a good physique. Running these few steps didn't tire him out, he was only worried because he was afraid of being overtaken by the second brother Wei, and he felt at ease when he saw his brother.

When the family members asked, Wei Chengcheng had learned the matter from everyone, and before he finished speaking, his grandfather turned around angrily and wanted to leave the house.

"Old man, what are you doing here?" Grandma hurriedly stopped her.

"Mom, Ba Ziwei, the second child, really bullying our family and can't afford to offend him, right? I killed him and me with a hoe today!" Grandpa was so angry, but he forgot to look for the hoe in the house. The hoe cleaned the house a few days ago It was taken into the warehouse at that time.

"Calm down, don't make trouble if this matter is not resolved." Grandma yelled at Grandpa.

"Master, master, it's okay, don't worry, I guess Wei's second child just wants to ask Chengzi about the little money in our family, but he doesn't dare to do anything else." Xiyuan comforted his grandfather.

"Listen to Xiaoyuan, sit here for me." Grandma pushed Grandpa to sit on the edge of the kang.

"Yeah, Dad, let's discuss how to deal with this matter slowly." Niang Xiyuan was also persuading. Just now the old man wanted to find Wei's second son desperately. old man.

"Hey, there's Xiao Wei, look at you, it's a waste of time." Grandma blamed Grandpa.Grandpa also remembered when he heard it, Wei Cheng is back, Xi Wei is still there.

"Let me go. If you go, you may fight with Wei's second child again. Small things will become big things. I'm an old woman. I don't believe that he dares to reach out and hit me." Grandma stopped Grandpa who wanted to get up and go out, He patted himself and walked out the door.

"Brother, is Xiao Wei okay?" Wei Cheng asked Xiyuan worriedly while watching his brother bake potato chips.

"It's okay, didn't grandma go, she'll be back in a while." Xiyuan comforted Wei Cheng.

"Brother Chengzi, Brother Chengzi." Xi Wei's voice came from the courtyard. After all, the little guy had just cried a while ago and his voice was a little hoarse.

"Chengzi, Chengzi." The other children also called Wei Cheng when they came in.

"Come in quickly, you guys are all right, this is turning into a cat with a painted face." Xiyuan felt a little distressed seeing Xi Wei's appearance, but he couldn't just patronize his own children and ignore other people's homes.

"I'll get some water and wipe their faces." Xi Yuanniang turned and went to the kitchen.

"Brother," Xi Wei also came over to snuggle up beside his brother, he still felt ashamed to cry just now.

"Zhuzi, go to the main room and bring some small stools, brother will bake some potato chips for you." Xiyuan said to Zhuzi.

"Hey, okay, little brother Yuan." Zhuzi always comes now, and he is familiar with Xiyuan's house, so he went to the main room to bring some small stools, and several children sat around Xiyuan.Xiyuan distributed the branded land pieces to several little guys.Potatoes, cabbage and radishes are the most indispensable thing in the family in winter. Now because of cooking chicken, the chickens at home are well-fed, so they are fatter. The offal of ducks and geese brought back from Judelou is often accompanied by duck oil and goose oil, so the most important thing at home now is oil.Xiyuan poured a lot of oil into the pan, then put the thinly sliced ​​potatoes into it, and when both sides of the frying were golden, he sprinkled some five-spice powder that he made himself on top, and then shoveled it out with a shovel. It tastes delicious in your mouth when you eat it hot!

The children ate so much that their mouths were oily, and they lost the restraint they had just now. They started chattering about the "feat" of the few people just now while eating. Xiyuan listened with a smile on his lips, but his eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed that what he was worried about was about to happen.
