Crossing the green wheat ears

On the day when Wei's second child was looking for Wei Cheng, Xi Mingwen happened to go to Yansui City to deliver food and was not at home. When he came back and heard about it, the honest man was very sullen for a few days.

Xiyuan is still the same as before. Apart from teaching a few children to read and write every day, they also cook delicious food for them.Now he doesn't let Xi Wei and Wei Cheng go out to play in the village, and he watches the two children closely. The other children come to play with Xi Wei and Wei Cheng every noon. The ground was leveled, let a few children play shuttlecock and spinning tops there, and set up two thick wooden poles with Xi Mingwen on the side, with a swing frame bolted to them, now don't worry about it, a few children can also play here I don't want to miss Shu.

Xiyuan made small snacks for the children in the house, fried vegetable balls with shredded radish.

Now there are already rumors in the village that Wei's second child wants Wei Cheng to go back, and Xiyuan has also heard about it. On the surface, he pretends nothing happened, but in fact, he has been planning how to solve this matter in his heart.However, he still wanted to wait.

After the donkey was bought, Xi Mingquan came to the house twice, mainly to find out how much the chickens, ducks and geese of the elder brother's house were sold for, and he was close to Xi Mingwen and his wife.Xi Mingwen is soft-hearted, he can't hold back other people's good words, if Xiyuan hadn't told him, he would have been tricked by the words.Even so, Xi Mingquan often sent the two boys over to eat and drink.Xiyuan didn't say anything all the time, he had bigger things on his mind, and he didn't have the time to spend his mind on these small things.Grandma felt a little uncomfortable every time, he always felt that Xiyuan was a little too indifferent towards third uncle.Logically speaking, although the two families were a little tense because of the land issue, the adults have eased up a little now. How can they still hold grudges here in Xiyuan? Her eldest grandson should not be such a narrow-minded child.In the heart of the old man, any of the ten fingers hurts when bitten. Although he doesn't like the way the third child and his family behave, he doesn't want the relationship between the sons to be worse than outsiders.

"Old man, why do you think Xiao Yuan pinched his eyes and looked down on his uncle?" The old lady had no choice but to chatter with the old man.

"Who made it wrong for the third child to have an accident?" The old man didn't think too much about it.

"No, it's not been a year or two since the third child and the eldest brother have been at odds. Xiao Yuan didn't do this before. When he saw the third child, he should call him uncle, and he played with the idiots of the third child's family. Unlike now, You see, Huzi and the others he doesn’t care about, let alone his uncle, when he sees his uncle entering the yard from afar, he turns around and hides in another room.” The old lady told the old man her question.

"It's just your overthinking. The third child came before, and the boss didn't want to meet him. Now that the third child has spoken nicely, I have nothing to say to him. Xiao Yuan used to think that he didn't want to do things when he was young, but now that he is older, he starts to think about it." It's over." The old man analyzed.

"That's what happened?" Grandma was still a little puzzled.

"If it's not this, what else can it be? You can still make up one, two, three, and worry about this little thing in your own house. You don't know what's going on with Xiaoyuan's child, so you have to think about it over and over again." The old man The old lady scolded.

"But it's true." Grandma couldn't think of a reason, so she temporarily believed what Grandpa said.

More than ten days passed, and Xiyuan didn't hear any movement from Wei's second son, thinking in his heart that Wei's second son just let it go?

In the middle of the night, the whole family was sleeping soundly. Suddenly, the calls of Maodoujiao and Huzi came from the yard. Everyone didn’t pay much attention to Huzi’s call. It would bark a few times when someone passed by the road by the side of the village. Noise, but once the edamame that seldom makes a sound, something must be wrong!

Grandpa and Ximing both got up from the covers in a hurry, went to the main room and picked up the things they had at hand, but they didn't go out right away, now that others were in the dark, they were in the light, if someone by the door rushed out, they would be beaten and beaten.After listening for a while, I felt that the sound was coming from the backyard, and the two people left the house one after the other. In the back garden near the base of the wall, the edamame was being torn together with the two of them, and the tiger was biting next to it. A figure ran over from the corner of the door and whispered to the two people: "Fuck, run, his family is out." The three people picked up something and hurriedly turned it out from the back wall, one of them limping.

"Father, run away." Xi Mingwen said to the old man when he saw the running away shadow.

"Stop chasing, it looks like you won't be able to catch up, and see if you lost anything." The old man said worriedly.

"The sheep, the lamb is gone." After all, Xi Mingwen was young, and his eyes were better than the old man's.

"Stole the lamb? Where's the big one?" the old man asked.

"The big one is still there." Xi Mingwen returned.

"These bastards dare to do anything unscrupulous." The old man pouted his beard in anger.

"Master, what's the matter, what did you lose?" Xi Yuan also came out, but he also knew that the thief had escaped after hearing the movement in the backyard.He held the oil lamp in one hand, and carefully shielded it with the other.

"The lamb is lost." The old man replied.

"Ah, are the big sheep okay?" These two sheep were bought in the spring to nourish Wei Cheng's body and drink goat milk. The lambs when they were bought have grown up now, but the family is still used to calling them "little lambs." sheep.The ewe has been producing milk for more than seven months now, and there is not much milk left. Xiyuan still wants to wait for his father to come home and ask him to inquire about buying another ewe that is producing milk, so as to replace the milking ewe at home.

"The ewes are fine." Xi Mingwen replied, touching the ewes with his hands.The ewe blew twice, the sound was very small, and it sounded weak.

"Xiaoyuan, quickly bring the lamp, there is something wrong with the ewe." Xi Mingwen said to Xi Yuan.

"What's the matter?" Grandpa also asked anxiously.

"Father, look at this sheep." Xi Mingwen said to the old man.Xiyuan took the lamp over, saw the ewe lying on the ground, and wanted to stand up when he saw a person approaching, but he didn't stand up after a few times.

"This is a sap, I guess I won't survive." The old man held the lamp up to the ewe and said.

"Master, the ewes are hopeless?" Xiyuan felt distressed. After buying these two sheep, they spent most of their time grazing by the pond with him. He herded ducks and geese while herding sheep, and he also showed affection. .

"Untie the sheep and carry it into the house, and see how it goes tomorrow." The old man ordered.

The sheep were brought in, and grandma and mother were getting dressed and were about to go out to have a look, but they were worried about the two little ones in the house.Xi Wei and Wei Cheng were relatively dead sleepers, and they didn't wake up after such a big commotion. Fortunately, they didn't wake up, otherwise a thief broke into this dark house, and they would have frightened the child.

"It's all my fault. I tied the donkey in the front yard for fear of losing the donkey. I didn't think about the sheep." The old man regretted.The front yard of the house is not spacious, and there are donkeys and carts. Half of the chickens in the house are used to cook roast ducks. Chicken, this is also afraid of being cooked in the main room, sometimes people from the village will see it when they come to visit, so they are put in the barn.Because this half of the warehouse is always on fire, it is warmer. The chickens at home are put into chicken coops and put in the other half of the warehouse. Next to the donkey shed, when the donkey shed was being repaired, a simple barn was built with wood.In this way, several valuable things were gathered near the barn, so the nests of Maodoujiao and Huzi were also moved to the front of the donkey shed, so that the two could watch and hear any movement at night.But who knows, the sheep that are not very popular are also stolen.

Sheep are not popular here, mainly because mutton or goat milk tastes like mutton, and people don't know how to get rid of it, so no one likes to eat it.For this reason, grandfather, father, and Xiyuan didn't take much precaution against the sheep being stolen. There was no free space in the front yard, so they tied the sheep in the back garden.

"These unconscionable people." Grandma cursed, but there was nothing she could do about it. This was clearly a scourge.

"It's okay, sheep are not expensive, so just throw them away, or our family plans to buy another one." Xiyuan comforted the adults.

"Xiaoyuan, you have been studying with Dr. Li for so long, let's see if this sheep can be saved?" Xiyuan's mother asked Xiyuan.

"..." Xiyuan couldn't help but want to roll his eyes, he didn't learn from Dr. Li as a veterinarian, okay?

Except for Xi Wei and Wei Cheng, who fell asleep and knew nothing, the rest of the family didn't close their eyes all night. Before dawn, the ewe died after two faint "baa-baa" bleats.

Waking up in the morning, when Xi Wei and Wei Cheng saw the dead ewe, they both looked at the adults in the family suspiciously, and the family did not hide it from them. I know, not to mention things like burglars in the house, rather than letting the children know from others, it is better for the family to tell them, so that they can know for sure.

When the two children heard that the lamb was lost and the ewe was beaten to death, they hugged the ewe's head and cried.Xiyuan held one in his arms, coaxing them patiently, and told them that the family would buy them again in the future.

"What's the matter?" Third Grandma Wang asked, kicking in and out of the door.

"A thief broke in yesterday, and one of the sheep was stolen, and the rest were not allowed to live." Grandma sighed.

"Our old man said that there seems to be movement in the village in Yehei. It sounds like your dog barking. Let me come over early in the morning to see if there is something wrong with your family. This is true." Wang The third grandma also sighed.

"This group of people who have suffered thousands of knives is really a disaster." After sighing, he became angry again.No one in the Xi family said anything. They were angry all night last night, and it was useless to scold them.

"Father, you and I should get the sheep out and see if you pack up and keep the lamb for eating." Xiyuan was big-hearted, anyway, something had already happened, and sighing could not solve the problem.

"Hey, good." Xi Mingwen came up and took the sheep out.The donkey outside yelled "En, er", the old man was so busy getting angry that he forgot to feed his precious donkey.

Seeing Xiyuan's family like this, Grandma Wang San didn't stay long, she went home and told her family, and Grandpa Wang San also got angry for a while, those bums in the village couldn't escape them.

"Tell me, could it be that the courtyard led people to do it?" After breakfast, there were no outsiders in the house, the old lady quietly conspired with the old man.

"Why do you think it's his house?" the old man asked, he was also thinking about it.

"Then you don't need to think about it. There was such a big commotion in our house last night. Did someone come out from his house? Even Brother Wang heard the movement from our house. Is there nothing to be afraid of losing in their house?" The old lady calculated. .

"That's right, our family didn't offend his family, so why do we have trouble with our family?" Although the old man said he was a little puzzled, he still couldn't figure it out.

"Why, it's not that our family is doing well now. You can't see it. You didn't see that our house didn't look good when the donkey called and the courtyard went from the eldest brother to our courtyard." The old lady remembered what she had seen before. .

"What's the look, I have the ability to live my own life." The old man was a little unhappy when he heard that.

"Hmph, looking at it, I don't know. I used to think that their family lives better than ours, a head above ours, but now our family lives better than them, so I can't swallow it." The more the old lady thought about it, the more reasonable it became. .

"Also, I was thinking, didn't the boss of his family cause trouble to pay others a few days ago, and came to borrow money from us. I didn't borrow all the money, so I guess there is something wrong with it." The old lady remembered another thing.

"Father, last night I vaguely saw someone limping while running. Do you think our edamame was bitten?" say.

"It should be, it's okay, let's let Xiao Wei go to each house to play, and pay attention to see who's situation is wrong." It's too conspicuous for the adults to go, and Wei Cheng is worried about letting him go out because of Wei's second child, so he had to hand over this task to him. to Sive.

"Can a child like Xiao Wei do it?" Xi Mingwen was a little worried.

"Xiao Wei? Don't worry, the child who blocked Wei's second child from crying that day, would a child with no eyesight think about it?" The old lady was not worried.

"I think it's okay. Who do you think Xiao Wei looks like? The eldest of our family and the three of them, plus the two of us are not so crazy." The old man and the old lady murmured.

"Who does it look like? Who do you think it looks like?" The old lady pointed to the east room, where Xiyuan was teaching several children to read and write.

"Xiaoyuan, this child is really..." The old man didn't know what to say, but when he thought of his eldest grandson, he didn't feel so suffocated.

"Tomorrow, I have to teach the two little ones to be ghosts and ghosts." Grandma asserted.Grandma's words are very effective. In the future, under Xiyuan's "teaching", Xi Wei and Wei Cheng will get closer and closer to the road of black belly.

Xiwei's task was completed within two days. In the whole village, only Congren, the second child of Cong's family, was lying on the kang at home.Congren was also unlucky. At that time, he and his elder brother were beating up the lamb and putting their buttocks in the bag. They didn't pay attention to the green soybeans that came up quietly and "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh'hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh", the rest of the time is between him and The eldest brother fought with the edamame.The third child was watching the wind at the gate of the garden, and he didn't know where the dog came from.The fourth brother agreed to meet him outside the wall. He thought that the two sheep would be easy to catch, but who would have thought that Jingzhou would be careless, so the two brothers hurriedly carried the lamb, and the older sheep ran out with the third child without thinking about it.

In the past few days, because of the injury on his buttocks, the family has spent almost half of the money, and he dare not go out for a walk. Anyone who sees this limping has to ask.And I dare not invite Dr. Li from the village to show me. Everyone in the village does not know that Dr. Li and the Xi family have a good relationship. If Dr. Li knows it, it means that the Xi family knows, so I can only let the elder brother go to Wande Town to sit with the medicine hall The doctor said that a dog bit him and bought some medicine.

"Oh, this hurts me to death." Cong's second child turned over with grinning teeth, blaming the eldest brother for insisting on thinking about other people's sheep, but it turned out that one sheep was sold and it was not enough for him to buy medicine.

Xi Wei went back and reported the situation. The old lady didn't say anything, and went to the next yard to ask for money. Go buy another one with this money.

Repayment of debts is a matter of course, no matter how much I hate my family, I can't say anything, so I have no choice but to go to another house and transfer the money to the old lady.

"Do you think their family guessed our family?" the old woman and the old man murmured.

"Guess what will happen to us, but he didn't catch us on the spot." Lao Congtou said it very stiffly, and he was a little bit guilty in his heart.It's all the boss's fault, he has to look at him and get upset, he lives so close, what can the Xi family do if they find out.

Grandma asked for the money back, felt relieved, and felt better.Xiyuan was busy on the stove at this time, and he planned to have a meal of mutton with his family.Although it hurts when a sheep dies, you can't throw away the mutton and bury it. Food is the most important thing for the people, and food is the most important thing!
