Crossing the green wheat ears

Grilled the hazelnuts for Wei Cheng for a while, and Xiyuan didn't stop until Wei Cheng was satisfied with the food. It seemed that Wei Cheng's grandma and aunt would not leave immediately. Xiyuan didn't want them to push Wei Cheng any further and ruin their good mood. So he led Wei Cheng out of the house.

The two brothers arrived at Uncle Wang Shun's house for a stroll, Wei Cheng played with Zhuzi for a while, and Dani also ran behind the two brothers, but they couldn't stay there all the time, it was almost time for dinner.Although the days are longer now, in order to save food, farmers will not eat three meals before spring planting, so now the villagers still eat two meals.

Xiyuan thought for a while, then led Wei Cheng to resign from Uncle Wang's house, then continued to the east of the village until he reached Qiuyang's house.Qiuyang was busy harvesting snow with his father in the yard. He had a small family and didn't get up early to do it, so it wasn't finished yet.

"Brother Qiuyang." Wei Cheng called Qiuyang crisply through the courtyard gate.

"Hey, Chengzi, Xiaoyuan? Why are you here?" Seeing that Xiyuan was leading Wei Cheng, Qiuyang put down the broom in his hand and ran over.

"It's nothing. I walked around the village with Chengzi. I just saw that your house is not far away, so I'll come over later." Xiyuan reached out and patted the snow off Qiuyang's body.

"Ah, hurry up and get in the house. I'll let my mother steam the dried cabbage. You and Chengzi can have dinner at my house today." Qiuyang said cheerfully.

"Okay, I'll eat at your house today." Qiuyang is so considerate!Xiyuan didn't refuse either, and Wei Cheng beside him took advantage of Xiyuan and Qiuyang's conversation to help Wang Laolan put snow into the ear frames on the sledge. His family was small and he couldn't carry the frames by two people, so Li Laolan used The small sledge pulls the snow out.

"Chengzi, I don't need your help, hurry up and play with your brother Qiuyang." Wang Laolan said to Wei Cheng, seeing that the child has eyesight and works so quickly, I don't know what Wei's second child was thinking at the beginning , A good son doesn't want it, he has to give it to others, and he will regret it later.Maybe it's because he doesn't have a biological son, Wang Laoji is very rare for children, especially a sensible and diligent child like Wei Cheng.

"Uncle Li, let's help you get it together." Xi Yuan didn't enter the house, and pulled Qiu Yang to help Mr. Wang make snow together.The more people work, the quicker the work, and it turns out that the work is almost finished, so the work is finished in a short time.

Xiyuan led Wei Cheng into the house with Qiuyang. In the house, Qiuyang's mother had brought the dried cabbage back from the warehouse, washed it, and steamed it in the pot with a curtain.

Qiuyang went into the house and got on the kang, took out a small bag from his mother's kang cabinet, opened it and found a few pieces of candy inside, which were bought at home during the Chinese New Year, and given by Xiyuan when he went to Xiyuan's house. He was willing to eat it all at once, and there were still a few yuan left. He was happy that Xiyuan came, and he didn't hide anything. He took out the rest and the three of them ate together.

Xiyuan was not polite, he understood that Qiuyang wanted to treat him well and return his heart, so he took one piece for himself, and picked another piece for Wei Cheng, and sat on the edge of the kang, eating candy and talking to Qiuyang.

In the kitchen, Wang Laolan helped Qiuyangniang to light the fire. His family lived a tight life, and the couple were honest and friendly people. Usually, few people from the village came to the house, and Qiuyang had few playmates. Sitting at home, I feel that the room is lively.Ever since Qiuyang and Xiyuan were playing together, the long-talking women in the village often listened in and out, to see if Qiuyang knew about the Xi family's affairs, especially the Xi's making money. They were afraid that Qiuyang would be young , the mind is not enough, so I repeatedly asked Qiuyang not to say anything, and Qiuyang himself was very careful.

Seeing how Xijia Xiaoyuan and Qiuyang didn't see each other at all, they were very relieved. His family was small, and Wang Laoji only had one elder brother, but he disappeared a few years ago. Nephews and nieces live, life is not as good as his family, they have to give money from time to time, Qiuyang is a shy and honest child, they are all worried that Qiuyang will be bullied in the village when he grows up, but now he is fine, Being able to get along well with the children of the Xi's family will give Qiuyang something to rely on for everything he does in the future.

After dinner at Qiuyang's house, Xiyuan chatted with Qiuyang for a while, seeing that it was getting dark, thinking that Grandma Wei Cheng would never stay at his house, I guess my son should leave now , led Wei Cheng out of Qiuyang's house, and the two brothers wandered back to their own house.

When we got home, Xi Wei was poking his head in the yard and looking out. He wanted to go out to find his elder brother as soon as Wei Cheng's grandmother and the others left, but the grandmother and the others said that it was getting dark and wouldn't let him run out by himself, so his father went again. It was getting late and grandpa couldn't see the way, so he could only anxiously wait for his brother to come back. When he saw Xiyuan and Wei Cheng, Xi Wei ran out quickly.

"Brother, brother." Looking at Xi Wei's appearance, he wanted to learn from him what he heard today, but Xi Yuan glanced at Wei Cheng, secretly squeezed Xi Wei's hand, and Xi Wei hurriedly swallowed the words that came to his lips went back.

After entering the house, Niang Xiyuan was waiting for them in the main room, "Have you eaten yet? Mother put all the food in the pot for you to heat up." She turned around to serve the food.

"Mother, there's no need, my brother and I finished eating at Brother Qiuyang's house." Wei Cheng returned loudly.

"You don't want to eat? Did the mother bring out the food?"

"Bring it out, we'll eat it when we're hungry at night." Although the family also eats two meals like the villagers, but as the saying goes, half a child eats a poor old man. I'm hungry at bedtime, and I have to eat another supper. Every time Niang Xiyuan cooks, she will cook more, and bring out the evening meal for the three brothers.

Wei Cheng and Xi Yuan went into grandma's house for a while, then ran to the West Room with Xi Wei to play.Seeing that Wei Cheng was gone, Xi Yuan leaned beside grandma to inquire about today's affairs carefully.

"Grandma, what are they doing here?"

"What else can I do? I heard from others that our family is doing well, and I want to use Chengzi to establish a relationship with relatives, so that I can open my mouth when I have something to do in the future."

"My dad sent them off, when will I be back?" It was already dark outside, Xiyuan was a little worried about his dad.

"It doesn't need to be sent far. They didn't come to see Chengzi on purpose. They came here by the way when they visited relatives in Xujiazi." Xiyuan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Xujiazi was located in the north of their village, only five or six miles away. It is estimated that the donkey cart can run back and forth in an hour.

"It's okay, don't worry, your second uncle has gone with your father." The old lady saw that Xi Yuan was worried about his father.

"Second uncle also followed? No need, it's not too far away." Xi Yuan asked doubtfully.

"That can't be done. Your second aunt has gone with you. You don't know about your father. He is honest and soft-hearted. If the two of you think about it again, your father will definitely be fooled."

"Ah? No way?" This Xiyuan didn't expect, "What nonsense can they do?"

"What's the use? As for your father, when he cries for being poor, he will give you a few good words, and he will soften his heart. If you are not afraid of [-], you will be afraid of it. I asked Xiao Wei to call your second uncle and aunt." After all, the old man There are many things that have been passed through, and the consideration is also comprehensive.

"Well, this time they point out that they don't dare to make any fools. My second uncle turned black and looked like a king of Hades, and my second aunt is not a good person when she is strong." Xiyuan said with a smile.

"What are you saying bad about us?" As soon as Xiyuan finished speaking, the second aunt opened the door and came in. She had just come in from the outside, and she was still feeling cold.

"Oh, I've been caught! Second Aunt, I was praising you, not saying bad things." Xi Yuan hurriedly smiled.

"Hippy smiling face, you are the one who compliments people so much." The second aunt patted Xiyuan, but Xiyuan didn't hide.

"Send it somewhere?" the old lady asked the second daughter-in-law.

"That's right. They wanted us to be sent to a relative's house. I guess they wanted to show off to them. I said it was getting late, and there were wolves in winter. The road was not safe, so we were sent to the entrance of the village. They got out of the car and walked back by themselves." The second aunt reported to the mother-in-law.

"We will do our best when we deliver it."

"Hey, I thought so too. Mom, why did they leave so late? The road is full of snow, and the car can't go fast at all. It's not too far away." Asked, she and Xi Mingwu were busy making tofu during the day, so they didn't know about the affairs of the eldest brother's house. The old lady only found out when she called Xi Wei to call them.

"It's been a whole day since Chengzi didn't recognize them. Xiaoyuan took Chengzi away later, probably because he wanted to wait for Chengzi to come back before coaxing them. Later, seeing that it was getting dark, he couldn't do it anymore, so he made a fuss. of."

"But it's true, I really have to see it off when I leave, otherwise the two girls will be fine if something happens along the way. Mother, did you recognize the child?" Second Aunt looked at Xiyuan and asked in a low voice.

"No, I just hid behind Xiao Yuan and didn't come out. It's probably because their grandparents didn't care about the child when they were young, and the child didn't kiss them."

"That's true, maybe at the time one was afraid of Wei's second child, and the other was afraid that the motherless child would not leave at their house." The second aunt was quick to speak.

"The one whose own girl can give up!" The old lady snorted disdainfully.

"Mother?" Second Aunt asked suspiciously.

"Chengzi's mother, at that time Wei Er Er beat her, and she ran to her mother's house at first, but as soon as she ran back, Wei Er Er went to her mother's house with a knife to do it, and his mother's elder brother was so frightened He didn't dare to stand out for his sister, so he hurriedly drove her back. His grandmother was even more frightened. I can't let the girl suffer like this!"

"Well, my natal family is the reliance of the married girl. If something happens, it would be better if the natal family can give me a back. Otherwise, I really have nowhere to go. Cheng Ziniang probably sees that life is really hopeless, so... "The second aunt looked at Xiyuan and stopped the topic.

"That's right, Wei Er Er beat up his daughter-in-law, you didn't notice, and slammed his head against the door frame, alas!"

After listening to it for a while, Xiyuan felt panicked, so he left grandma's house.In his room, Wei Cheng and Xi Wei were bumping their heads together, mumbling something.

"What are you two doing?" Xiyuan put his two little heads together with his hands.

"I didn't say anything, just said that the second brother's aunt has a big buck tooth, which is ugly." Xi Wei raised his face and said to his brother with a smile.

"Have you given someone a nickname again?" Xi Yuan teased.

"Cut, I'm too lazy to take it, my second brother doesn't even know them." Xi Wei rolled his eyes in disdain.

"Yo, it's an honor to co-author you with a nickname." Xi Yuan teased Xi Wei.

"That's right, it's not rare for us to give it to ordinary people, isn't it, second brother?" Sivela said.

"Of course, we are a duo of geniuses, brother, that's what you said." Wei Cheng looked at Xi Yuan triumphantly.

"Well, you two geniuses have put your cleverness into this together."

The three brothers had fun for a while, and had supper together. Xiyuan led them to go through their homework. His eyes were broken, and he warned the other children.

After eating, they rested on the kang, Wei Cheng snored a little while later, Xi Yuan was also a little dazed, "Brother, brother," Xi Wei next to him tugged at the corner of his brother's quilt, he I haven't taught my brother what to do today, and I can't fall asleep with things on my mind.

"Why haven't you slept yet? A dog's stomach can't hold two taels of sesame oil. Come on, tell brother what they are talking about?" Xi Yuan put his arms around Xi Wei.

"They said they wanted to take the second brother to live with them for two days. My grandma said that the second brother is now literate and can't leave."

"Well, what else did you say?"

"I also said that they all miss the second brother, and they can't do it. Big Baoya also brought two pairs of shoes for the second brother, and my mother showed them the shoes that the second brother is wearing now. They are too young, so they don't wear them at all. No, they didn't have the nerve to stay. They said they didn't know that the second brother was so tall."

"Well, what else?"

"Also, he also said that brother Cheng Zi's mother was harmed by Wei's second son and had to marry him. In fact, their family was very reluctant to part with their daughter. Brother, what is harm?"

"They even said that in front of you?"

"Well, my mother kicked me out, but I didn't move. Brother, do you mean that the second brother Wei beat the second brother's mother?"

"Ah, yes, why don't you know everything and ask?" Xiyuan was thinking about how to explain the word "disaster" to Xi Wei so that he could get away with it. Unexpectedly, Xi Wei had his own understanding, so Xiyuan hurriedly followed suit. Donkey downhill.

"Brother, they also asked how our ducks and geese are raised, and how we grow vegetables in spring."

"Did grandma tell them?"

"Well, my grandma said that you have to tell the whole village anyway this year, and there is nothing to keep secret. My grandma said that if you know the method, you will definitely make money, and it must be like that, big goose, duck Didn’t other families raise them before, and they didn’t raise anything.”

"That's true." Xiyuan has already told his family. Anyone in the village who asks how the ducks and geese are raised will tell them. There is also the matter of growing vegetables. He can also tell others that his family now has a Jude Building. Income, there is no need to hide these little money. In addition, he doesn't want to see that the villagers are poor while his own family is rich, which is too eye-catching.

"Brother, I don't want them to come to our house again." Xi Wei was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open.

"What?"

"As soon as they came, Second Brother was upset, I know it all." Mr. Xi Wei was with Wei Cheng, and he had a better understanding of Wei Cheng's thoughts than Xi Yuan.Wei Cheng didn't care about it on the surface, it was to prevent his brother from worrying, but in fact, how could he not take it to heart at all.

"Understood, I won't ask them to come here in the future. Also, don't tell him about your second brother's mother, are you listening?"

"Listen, brother, I know everything." Xi Wei turned over while muttering, and fell asleep after a while.
