Crossing the green wheat ears

Finally, at the end of the ten-day break, Xiyuan took a few children and accompanied his grandparents back to Lianhua Village.

Old Zhao was driving the car, his grandfather was sitting next to him, and his grandmother was sitting in the middle holding him, with a thick cotton pad under his buttocks, several children sat around his grandmother, Wei Chengxiwei was riding a little red horse, Follow the car.

Out of Yansui City, on the official road, the carriage started to run. Wei Chengxiwei thought the carriage was running too slowly and passed the carriage. He ran in front for a while and then went back to meet him for a while. He was not afraid of trouble. Goudan and Xiaoyong, look The second brother and the fifth brother rode a horse, shouting excitedly "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh", accompanied by Wei Chengxiwei's laughter.

The leaves of the tall poplar trees on both sides of the road are already golden. When the autumn wind blows, the plump poplar leaves clatter and fall like yellow butterflies spreading their wings.

The fallen leaves paved the road and stretched forward.On the tree, occasionally a woodpecker tapped on the trunk with its long beak "tuk-tuk-tuk".

The crops in the field have already matured, the soybeans stand upright, and the full pods seem to explode at any time; the corn embraces light yellow ears and red whiskers, like a grandfather basking in the sun.

A row of wild geese in the sky, with two calls of "quack", flew southward in a line of "one", and the boundless fields met the blue sky in the distance.

"Brother, Wande Town is ahead." Sitting in Xiyuan's arms, Goudan pointed to the eaves and corners exposed at the end of the official road.

"Yes, after passing Wande Town, we will reach our village ten miles away." Grandma replied.After leaving the village for half a year, the old man felt homesick, and once he entered the boundary of Wande Town, he felt that everything he saw became friendly.

"Our Goudan has a really good memory. We remembered it once we passed Wande Town." Qiuyang nodded Goudan's forehead.

"Well, because there are two big willow trees at the intersection of Wande Town, the willow branches are drooping and curved. I saw it from the car window when I came here." Goudan said to Qiuyang proudly.

"Goudan, why don't the willow branches droop?" Cheng Nan pinched Goudan's nose.

"Don't tell me, our dogs just look carefully. These two willows are really different from other willows." The car was able to get in, and everyone took a look. It really is the two willows at the intersection of Wande Town. Although drooping, the branches are not straight, they are curved, twists and turns, and even the leaves are curled.

"This is a willow with dragon's claw, which is different from the willows in our village." Grandpa explained to the children.

"Our Goudan's eyes are so good. We have been going back and forth so many times, and no one else has noticed." Grandma did not forget to praise her grandson. Dian, his eyes are full of smiles.

The carriage ran fast, ten miles away in a blink of an eye, Wei Cheng and Xi Wei rode little red horses, and stood under the old elm tree at the entrance of the village early, "Brother, you are really slow." The two children jumped off the horse while talking.

"We have one horse and one car, can we compare with the two of you, one person and one horse?" Xi Yuan jumped out of the car, and glanced at his two younger brothers. Xi Wei and Wei Cheng laughed, led the horses and followed behind their brother .

"Oh, auntie, are you back? It's only been half a year since you left. Isn't that a little bit? You've made a lot of progress, and you can't even recognize them." When they met villagers, they greeted their grandparents warmly.

Grandma walked home while talking to the villagers she met, Xiyuan hugged Budian behind her, and Goudan led the elder brother by the corner of his clothes.

"Qiuyang, are you back?" A fat woman greeted Qiuyang.

"Brother, Er Fat His Mother." Wei Cheng winked at Xi Yuan.

"I'm back, auntie." Qiuyang replied with a smile.

"How long can you stay? Come to my aunt's house if you have time." The peasant woman's face was bright when she heard Qiuyang's reply.Qiuyang is different from before. In the past, it was only heard that he knew a few words with the eldest son of the Xi family, and no one took it seriously. Now he is a scholar in the city school that he has been going to for [-] years.

Scholars in the Great Yan Kingdom, where few people are generally literate, are quite prestigious, even if they don't have fame.

well!At the beginning, he was confused and didn't agree to the Wang family's marriage proposal. Who would have thought that the child would go to the city without a sound and even pay homage to the husband.Moreover, looking at Qiuyang's current appearance, he is more dignified than that old scholar in Wande Town, and he is no longer an ordinary person.

Qiuyang smiled at the second fat lady, but this time there was no answer, "Xiaoyuan, I'm going back to my home from here." Qiuyang said to Xiyuan, then turned and walked towards his own home. Involuntary admiration.

"Hmph! Let their family look down on Brother Qiuyang at first, are you dumbfounded now?" Wei Cheng murmured in his brother's ear with a look of gloating.

Xiyuan smiled, human nature is accustomed to stepping on the high and stepping on the low, even the relatively simple villagers cannot avoid it.

At the gate of the house, grandma didn't go in directly, but looked at the gate, touched the copper ring on the gate with her hand, and patted the door frame, "It's better for us!"

"Grandma, the one in the city is also our house." Xiyuan teased grandma.

"Grandma knows, but the old house looks close."

"You, you just don't know how to enjoy life. Let you stay in the city for a few days, as if you were going to be punished." Grandpa and Wei Chengxiwei opened the gate together so that Lao Zhao could drive the carriage into the yard.

"Father, mother, are you back?" Xiyuan's mother was making lunch in the house, when she heard the movement, she hurried out and saw the old lady, her face was full of excitement.

"I'm back. I'm back!" Grandma led the little ones, and walked into the main room, "Boss, have they rammed the fence?"

"Yes, the wall can be finished in two days. The remaining two gates, the north and the south, have already been done by a carpenter. This time, it is completely finished. Before he left in the morning, his father told me that you will come back with him today, and let him Slaughtering a chicken, I will eat it in the pot. Mother, what else do you want to eat, I will make it for you." Xiyuan Niang opened the door of the old lady's house while talking to the old man about the family affairs.

"I don't have anything to eat. Is there any eggplant left at home? I always feel that the food outside tastes different from the one at home." Grandma let her go around the house by herself, sitting on the edge of the kang and touching it. Here, touch there, Niang Xiyuan wipes and cleans it every day, keeping it clean.

"Yes, Xiaowei, tie up the horse and go to the garden to pick some eggplants for grandma. Mom, I planted a few ridges of eggplants later, and now is the time to eat them." Xiyuan Niang said as she took Wei Cheng mentioned the package that came in and put it on the kang for grandma.

At noon, Xi Mingwen and Xi Mingwu came back.The whole family sat together and had a lively meal, even Xi Ming and his wife came over.

Not too young, after walking for half a year, I don't remember my parents. Grandma calls her whenever she asks, but she won't let the youngest couple hold her for a while.When eating, I also sit in grandma's arms, no one else can.The old aunt looked a little disappointed, but Xi Mingquan didn't feel anything.

There are too many people to sit, so there are two tables in the house, Xiyuan leads a few young people to sit at one table, Goudan sits next to the eldest brother and the second brother, except for calling parents, he has never been close to the couple .He remembered things, and he knew exactly how he came to live in his uncle's house.

"Mother, do you think the dog has a grudge against me?" The old aunt was a little embarrassed.

"Are you blaming the child for what you did yourself? Our son of a bitch is not a narrow-minded child. After half a year, you still want the child to kiss you!" The old lady gave the third daughter-in-law a white look.

"Mom, I didn't say the dog is bad." The old aunt hurriedly smiled.

The old lady didn't say a word, and didn't bother to talk to her.Use chopsticks to break the eggplant into small pieces, and put some in a bowl. Now I can eat it with a spoon, but I can eat it everywhere. Grandma tied a bib for her before eating.

"Short (milk), bark (eat)." Budian sent the contents of the small spoon to grandma's mouth.

"If you don't eat milk, we don't order it." Grandma smiled, holding Budian's hand, and feeding him something.

Next to him, Xi Mingwen poured four cups of wine, and the three brothers and the old man chatted while drinking.

"If it wasn't for Cheng Yi and the others that day, the three of us wouldn't have beaten the boss to death." The old uncle yelled loudly after taking two sips of wine.

Through their conversation, Xiyuan learned that after the corn was harmed, the second uncle couldn't swallow his breath. It happened that one day, when the boss was working, he touched the second uncle, and the second uncle took the opportunity to get angry, so he gave it to the boss. Two shoulder poles.

Since the boss had some ghosts in his heart, he didn't dare to fight Maimang with his second uncle. His brothers wanted to help, but Cheng Yi and the others dragged him away.

The old uncle was also there at the time, and it was surprising that he stood on the same front as the second uncle. It seemed that he didn't know everything in his mind.

After helping the family with work for two days, Xiyuan led Wei Chengxiwei Xiyang back to Yansui City, this time without Xiyong and Goudan.The season has entered the old autumn, and it is cooler in the morning and evening in the north. The house at home was built with a lot of money, and it is warmer and more comfortable than the city. The children live at home and suffer less.

No need to teach the two little ones, Xiyuan is more free, finish the food to be sold every day, read a book when I have nothing to do, or go to my husband once every three or five days to help him find information and listen to his homework explanation.

Mr. Ye is from the south of the Yangtze River, and he speaks with a soft and waxy accent in the south of the Yangtze River, with ups and downs, which is very nice.He has been immersed in poetry and books all his life, knowledgeable, and has a refined demeanor.Xiyuan felt that talking with her husband was a kind of enjoyment.

There are several scholars in Yansui City. When they encountered something they didn’t understand while studying, they came to ask the teacher for advice. After a visit, Xiyuan became acquainted with some of them. They often meet up when they have nothing to do, or drink and eat, or drink tea and chat. , life is relatively comfortable.

In early winter, one night, it snowed heavily. In the morning, the door was opened, and the snow was half a foot thick. Xiyuan hopped around in the yard, and turned around to sweep the snow with his broom and Shuan Zhangcai.

In the afternoon, it was sunny outside and the sky was blue and blue, but the weather was colder. Xiyuan didn't go out because he was afraid of the cold, and stayed at home alone to read and write.

At this moment, someone knocked on the outside door knocker, Xiyuan opened the door, and saw a young servant standing outside the door.

"Excuse me, does Wang Qiuyang live here?" The boy's face was flushed with cold, and he stomped his feet while talking. It was cold, and his feet were as cold as a cat biting after standing outside for a while.

"Yes, you are..." Xiyuan looked carefully and made sure that he didn't know him.

"Ah, that's right, my young master gave it to the prince." The young man said, put the things in his hand into the door, and ran towards the entrance of the alley.

"Which one is your young master?" Xi Yuan was angry and funny, well, give someone something, not even leave his name.

"Zheng Xuan." The boy's voice came from afar.

It was this Zheng Xuan again, Xiyuan had no choice but to take the things in, let's talk about it when Qiuyang comes back.

When Qiuyang came back in the evening, Xiyuan quietly gave him the things, and learned from him the things of the day.

"Zheng Xuan fought with Zhang Hua that day and broke my inkstone. He probably wanted to pay me back." Qiuyang said and opened the box, and there was a neatly placed inkstone inside. Although Xiyuan didn't understand, he also understood You can roughly tell whether something is good or bad, this inkstone is worth a lot at first glance.

"I can't take such a good thing. I'll give it back to him tomorrow." Qiuyang smiled at Xiyuan, and closed the box again.

"Xiaoyuan, what delicious food did you make today? I could smell it as soon as I entered the yard." Qiuyang thought mellowly, and as soon as he put away the things, he dragged Xiyuan to the main room for dinner.

At night, Xiyuan's heart of gossip was still burning, and after he and Wei Chengxiwei were left, Xiyuan asked in a roundabout way if anything happened in the school these two days.

"Brother, think about it, there are so many strange things in our school, is it okay?" The word "wonderful" was used by my brother in the past, and Xi Wei and Wei Cheng knew how to infer other things from one instance.

"What's the matter, tell my brother."

"Well... the day before yesterday, Zheng Xuan kicked Zhang Hua." Xi Wei thought for a while.

"Why kick Zhang Hua?"

"Brother, it has something to do with you." Sitting next to Xiyuan, Wei Cheng put his head on Xiyuan's shoulder and said to his brother with a smile.

"I'm eighty feet away from them, how can I have anything to do with them?" Xi Yuan was really surprised.

"Really, brother, Zheng Xuan beat you when you led Goudan to school that time." Xi Wei also leaned in front of his brother.

"I remember this. It has nothing to do with him beating Zhang Hua, right?"

"Oh, brother, don't interrupt, listen to us." Wei Cheng put his arm around Xiyuan's shoulder and shook it twice, "Later, Zheng Xuan went to school and chatted with Brother Qiuyang for nothing, but Brother Qiuyang ignored him he."

"Well, brother Qiuyang said you are so nice, Zheng Xuan beats you indiscriminately, he thinks Zheng Xuan is not a good person." Xi Wei added.

"Then Zheng Xuan always thought about talking to Brother Qiuyang, but Brother Qiuyang didn't pay much attention to him. The day before yesterday, my husband let us rest for a while, and Brother Qiuyang was practicing calligraphy. I went out for a walk, saw it when I came back, and kicked Zhang Hua when I went up." Wei Cheng laughed as he talked, he didn't want to see Zhang Hua, he was very happy that Zhang Hua could be deflated, even if the person who made Zhang Hua deflate was Zheng Xuan.

"Brother, you don't even know that Zhang Hua is so angry that Zheng Xuan kicked the ground without daring to say anything." Xi Wei also felt relieved, "As a result, when Zhang Hua fell, brother Qiuyang's The table was knocked over, everything on the table fell to the ground, and a corner of the inkstone was broken."

"Haha, Zheng Xuan scratched his head at that time, and then he wanted to give his inkstone to Brother Qiuyang, but Brother Qiuyang didn't want it, and Zheng Xuan didn't have any tricks." The more Wei Cheng said, the happier he became.

It turned out that this was the case, and it was difficult for Zheng Xuan. In order to pay for an inkstone, he even found out where he lived.
