Crossing the green wheat ears

Playing checkers is very simple. Xiyuan explained to Qiuyang that two people played at the same time. Qiuyang mastered it after playing two games. , he was the referee.

The three of them were chattering, Xi Wei and Wei Cheng came back, they came back after running outside to find something to eat.Niang Xiyuan took a small pot on the stove to cook egg fried rice for them. Now the chickens in the family are kept in the side room, which is warm. The hens still lay eggs in winter, but not as much as in summer.

Beat two eggs, put some chopped green onion, pour the millet rice into the pot, put some salt, fry it and take it out of the pot, because Qiuyang is here, Xiyuan Niang fried some more, and gave it to everyone in the house The children served a bowl, including Xiyuan.

Qiuyang is shy and embarrassed to eat other people's food, but he is familiar with Xiyuan, Xiyuan insists on giving it to him, but in the end he shirks it but takes it and eats it. Qiuyang finds it strange that he can eat fried rice with eggs in winter .

The two younger ones can't care about eating at all now, lying on the edge of the kang and studying the checkers made by the elder brother.It was Xiyuan who threatened to put away the checkers if he didn't have a good meal, so he hurriedly finished the meal, and then the two of them took over the chessboard.

Can't let Qiuyang just watch, checkers can be played by three people, so Xiyuan went down to the ground and cut off a piece of the big radish that his mother was going to make soup tonight, and then cut it into small pieces, well, this can also be used for checkers .

So Qiuyang used radish checkers to play with two small ones, and his hands smelled like radish.

Xi Wei and Wei Cheng wailed in a low voice, Xi Yuan kept telling them to keep their voices down, threatening to knock down the roof.

Xi Wei and Wei Cheng rolled their eyes [-] degrees at their elder brother together. Their house was newly built and it was a brick house. How could it collapse? My elder brother would fool people. They are not children anymore. Fooled by such nonsense?

Because the noise in the room was too loud, no one in the main room heard it. It was Cheng Yi who led Cheng Nan in and they saw it.

Cheng Yi brought Cheng Nan here several times, without asking any questions, but the intention was obvious, just to know whether Xiyuan still taught how many children to read?His family, Cheng Nan, is very smart. Although Xiyuan didn't care about what he learned for more than four months, the child still took it out to review it every day, and taught his two younger brothers decently when he was fine. The youngest son in his family can't speak yet. Well, watching my brother study, he also shouted "Ah, ah", the husband and wife looked relieved and anxious, why is Xiaoyuan from the Xi family still lying on the kang and looking at the roof.

As soon as Cheng Nan came, Qiuyang gave him his checkers. He was older than these few, so he couldn't compete with the younger ones.Cheng Yi didn't go to the main room either, he pulled a stool and sat behind the little guys to watch them.

Cheng Yi hadn't left yet, another person came in the yard over there, Dr. Li limped in with a cane.It’s okay if you don’t come, Xiyuan hasn’t gone to learn anything from him for half a year. It turned out that Dr. Li thought that his family was busy building a house and didn’t have time, but now it’s been many days since the house was built. Why is he waiting and waiting? Haven't moved yet?

Xiyuan saw Dr. Li entering the yard from the window, and hurriedly greeted him.Dr. Li stood in the yard, watching Xiyuan walk in, without saying a word, he took a walking stick and pointed at Xiyuan twice. When he came here just now, he ran into Xie Mingli, who said that Xiyuan was not busy with anything these days Just laying on the kang and looking at the roof made Dr. Li so angry that his beard poked up.

Xiyuan hurriedly grabbed Dr. Li's arm to accompany the smiling face, while letting Dr. Li in, Wei Cheng and Xi Wei were stepping their legs to get off the kang in the room. They saw Dr. Li beating his brother with a walking stick from the room, and wanted to run out help him.As for how to help, well, I haven't made up my mind yet, but both of them stared at Dr. Li's crutches, what do you use to fight without a crutch?

Well, it’s enough to take a break. A person’s life is to realize their own value in the constant busyness—Xiyun feels that he has deepened.

Dr. Li and Cheng Yi stayed at home for dinner, and Xiyuan brought some delicious food for Dr. Li, and personally sent Dr. Li home. It would be impossible not to send Dr. Li back. Don’t say that Dr. Li’s legs and feet are not good, the key is that he has another Bad habit, if you drink alcohol, you will get drunk. If you don't let him drink well, he will beat you with a walking stick, regardless of who you are.

Cheng Yi helped and sent Dr. Li back home.

In Dr. Li's house, only his daughter waited for his father at home, and the eldest son of his family didn't know where to go for a stroll. This child didn't know how to feel sorry for his father and sister. When he got close, Dr. Li sometimes beat him with a walking stick when he got angry, but his legs and feet were not good, and if he ran away, he couldn't catch up.

The next day, of course it was the next day, it was impossible for Yi Xiyuan to start work on the same day because of his laziness, so the next day, the sound of reading aloud was heard again in the yard of Xi’s house. Tables and stools, don't affect anyone.

Xiyuan taught a few children in his own room. After the class, the little carrot heads put the tables and stools together, and then it was time to play and go home.

The adults of several families breathed a sigh of relief, they were afraid that Xiyuan would not teach them, and the others were embarrassed to come to remind them, after all, they didn't give Xi's family any repairs, although they would bring some things from time to time, but It is far worse than the one for Mr. Private School.

So they looked eagerly at Wang Shun's family and Cheng Yi's family. These two families were closer to the Xi family than they were, so it was easy to say anything.

Now I can finally continue to read and write. The adults did not leave after seeing off their children. They stayed in the main room, listening to the children's reading, and helping Xi Mingwen with work. Xi Mingwen did not do anything else. He made up a few books last winter. He took the kang mat, but the house was built this year. He saw that it did not match the house. The pattern was a bit big, and the workmanship seemed rough, so he wanted to weave some fine-grained mats while the winter was free.

Now he is splitting carefully selected sorghum stalks into fine batches with a knife. The men in the village can do these tasks without saying anything, so they are all around to help.

In the wing room, Niang Xiyuan and the old lady and the old man are feeding the chickens. The family has raised more chickens this year. Xi Mingwen has made the chicken coops early, and made them into grids like last year. How many chickens are in each grid? It is fixed, and the chickens are also easy to feed. Just sprinkle the food in the trough in front of the cage. There is an earthen pot next to the trough, which is used to add water to the chickens.

Grandpa was cleaning the chicken coop, and the ground was covered with plant ashes, so he collected it with a wooden shovel and swept it with a broom.Then sprinkle plant ash, which is clean and does not harm the house.The chickens in the family occupy two rooms in total. Xiaoyuan said that he will build a large chicken coop if there is not enough in the future.Hearing the clucking and clucking of the chickens at home, it was laying eggs. The old lady smiled and took the basket to the chicken coop to pick them up. There are two chicken coops made of wheat straw in each chicken coop, specially for the hens to lay eggs. .

The class was over, but the children refused to leave. They heard Cheng Nan tell them on the way that brother Xiyuan made another fun thing, and they wanted to play with it too. Xi Wei and Wei Cheng didn't hide their secrets either. Immediately took out the chessboard and checkers in a bluff. It’s okay to say that yesterday’s radishes were all wilted. Qiuyang was careful, knowing that the radishes would not last long, so he took a few corn kernels from home. Smiling when I saw it, he also wanted to use corn kernels and soybean kernels as chess pieces yesterday, but he was afraid that his grandparents would see him and scold him for ruining the food and dare not use it!

Now it's all right, the room is more lively than the class just now, several children lined up with palms and backs, those who played were unwilling to come down, and those who were not playing were jumping anxiously.

Cheng Yi and the others helped Xi Mingwen split the sorghum stalks, and they also came to watch the fun, thinking about making one after going home.Xiyuan felt that so many people yelled at him that he had a headache, so he let them play here, and went to the suite of his grandparents to continue lying on the kang.

It was not until dinner time that several adults forcibly took their children away and promised to make one for them when they went back, and the family quieted down.

After dinner, before the sun was set to the west, Xi Mingwu and his wife came back, along with Uncle Li.

The uncle of the Li family immediately agreed when Xi Mingwu mentioned it, and the mother-in-law asked him to do it at her own home, and then called his brother-in-law to help. It was a joke, his brother-in-law is lazy, can he help him?Isn't that the sun coming out from the west?

The daughter-in-law couldn't resist him, and she cried and made a fuss last night. He was so angry that he almost didn't make a move. How could he block his way of money by himself, this ignorant woman.

The uncle of the Li family asked his brother-in-law what they made and sold, such as bean curd sticks and dried tofu, which he had never heard of as an adult tofu maker, and he specially delivered them to big restaurants in the city. How can there be no money left?The boss of the Xi family sent food to restaurants in the city, and built a bright and majestic tile-roofed house in just two years.

The younger sister and his wife bought a donkey just after returning home. It seems that life is going to be better. The donkey he uses to make tofu at home is the money given by the old man and the old lady, plus the gift money from the younger sister. Well, this is also one of the reasons why he asked Xi Mingwu to make tofu with him.

Xi Mingwu and the others had eaten at the eldest brother's house, and hurried back to their own home. The eldest brother and sister-in-law had already heated the kang in the house, and they only needed to soak the beans for making tofu tomorrow before going to bed.It's better to stay at your own home, with your parents, elder brother and sister-in-law to take care of you, knowing the hot and cold, taking care of each other, and you don't have to act according to other people's faces.

Also, Xiaoyuan said, let them work hard for a year or two, and then build a new house. There are no elderly people in his family, so he doesn't need to buy an expensive house like his elder brother's house, just a brick house like ordinary people's.While thinking about the better days ahead, the couple poured beans into the tank, and Uncle Li was also helping.

Making tofu is hard work, and I have to get up early tomorrow morning to make tofu if I have to catch up with the car that my elder brother delivers food the day after tomorrow.

At Xiyuan's house, Xiaoyong was on the old lady's kang, took out a few big red dates from his pocket, and stuffed them into the mouths of grandma, grandpa, uncle, and aunt one by one. If you like it, you can take a small bite, and then it will be the next one. This is what the child's grandma put in his pocket before leaving. The two children are not willing to eat it, so they keep it for the family when they come back.

In Xiyuan's room, so was Xiyang. He took out the dates in his pocket, counted them, and then divided them into four piles. As a result, one of the piles was missing one. He hesitated, kept it for himself, and distributed the others Xi Wei Weicheng and his elder brother.

Seeing his demo, Xiyuan sighed in his heart. It is not a new thing for ordinary people to let Kong Rong give pears, especially for the eldest in the family. His parents have no time since he was a child, and the younger ones are mostly taken care of by his older brothers and sisters, so there is nothing to eat. Those who drink know how to be courteous.

Xiyuan took one out of his pile and put it in his mouth, and put the rest into Xiyang's pocket. Xiyang touched his pocket and smiled, um, it bulged again.

Sitting in the car with his younger brother, he took out the jujubes and looked at them, but he was not willing to eat them. His mother also told him to keep them for his elder brother and younger brother to eat. Now that they are all divided, he can eat them. The elder brother said he would not eat them. If you like jujubes, you should try one. My eldest brother is really picky about his food, and he doesn't even like such delicious jujubes.

Under the light of Rudou, Xiyuan watched a few children eating red dates with their mouths puffing and puffing. This is the so-called life, it doesn’t need to be rich or rich, and it doesn’t need high officials and rich salary, as long as the family has each other in their hearts , being able to stay together well and work together for life is enough, Xiyuan thought.
