Young rich peasants

After eating, Zaozi wanted to help wash the dishes, but was sent all the way to the main room by the younger father, "You are just sick, so you don't need to do anything. Go for a walk. You have been bored at home for half a month. Sunbathing is good for your health."

Don't talk about it, but when it comes to jujube for half a month, I feel sticky and greasy on my body.He sniffed at the collar of his shirt, but he didn't have any idea yet, so Lei Shounuo asked beside him, "Want to take a bath?"

"No, it's okay..." Zaozi was very afraid of troubling others.

Lei Shounuo rolled up his sleeves, walked into the kitchen, looked left and right, "Daddy, can you use the big rice pot to boil more hot water?"

"Okay, wait until I clean it up."

"It's really unnecessary..." Zaozi actually ran into Lei Shounuo taking a bath once, but the other party didn't notice. At that time, Lei Shounuo scooped water directly from the water tank, and washed it very quickly. After washing, he continued to go out to work. .

"We're all in the same family, so I don't care about what to do." Lei Shounuo's arm had veins, which heaved and fell with the movements, showing great strength.

Mei Xiaopai said the same thing, Zaozi was too embarrassed to refuse, because it would be hypocritical to prevaricate too much.He grabbed the door frame and looked busy in the kitchen, as if he couldn't get his hands in.

After the little dad washed the pot and gave it to Lei Shounuo, he took Zao Zi to his room.Opening the closet, there are several sets of clothes neatly folded inside, two sets of thin ones and three sets of thick ones.Little Daddy opened the drawer at the bottom, and there were two sets of thick juvenile clothes inside. Different from the Lei Shounuo clothes that Zaozi was wearing now, patterns were embroidered on the hem and trousers.

"Little brother, you can't always wear kid's clothes. If you keep your promise, you are in good health. It doesn't matter if your clothes are old or thin. You are weak, so you have to wear warmer clothes." The little dad shook off the clothes, and the brand-new thick cotton padded clothes, The simple indigo-colored fabric, paired with taupe-colored embroidery, looks particularly refreshing. He put the clothes on Zaozi for comparison, "Every brother's birthmark is actually different, and I'm following your pattern. embroidered birthmarks."

Zaozi touched the clothes, he had only seen his own birthmark on the bronze mirror in the matchmaker's room, he didn't see it too clearly at a glance, now he saw his little father's lifelike embroidery, he realized how small his birthmark was , Like a small wild flower blown away by wind and rain.

I took my clothes and went back to the kitchen. The doors and windows were closed, and it was very warm inside.Lei Shounuo was pouring hot water into a wooden bucket, and said: "My little dad and I take cold showers all year round. We don't have much money in our hands, so we try to save as much as possible. Let's go."

Zaozi was almost flattered, "I can also wash in cold water, I..." "I don't worry about letting you wash if you want." Lei Shounuo added two spoonfuls of cold water and tested the water temperature, "It's warm in the kitchen, Just wash it here. Hurry up, don't get cold."

Little Daddy Mei moved in a wooden bench, put clothes, linen towels and a small box of bath beans on it, and when Lei Shounuo went out, he closed the door behind him.There is a step in the corner of the kitchen. The corner inside is where the vegetables are washed. The step is to prevent water from getting everywhere.

Zaozi stepped over the steps to take off his clothes, and poured water on his body with a ladle. The cold wind poured in from the outlet. He shivered, wiped the bath beans, flushed, and washed his whole body in a few strokes.Wiping his body was the hardest time, he almost shook his clothes to the ground.He let out a long breath when he finally put on the cotton coat.

He put the barrel back to its original position, and went out with the wooden stool and bath beans in both hands.Lei Shounuo took the things first and put them back into the main room and patio. Zaozi couldn't help, so he turned back and squatted in the corner of the kitchen to wash his clothes.He remembered that he had to go out, so he accelerated the speed of his men.

In the end, Mei Xiaopai took out the washed clothes to dry, and Zaozi went out with Lei Shounuo.

In just half a month, Zaozi felt that the road and scenery outside the door were different. The longan on the treetops disappeared, and the gloomy shade was illuminated by the sun, and there were small wild flowers blooming.

When they walked into the village, someone came over to say hello to Lei Shounuo. Lei Shounuo introduced to Zaozi, "This is Ada of the Liang family. Uncle Liang Fu took me with me when I went out a few years ago. Benefactor." Zaozi bowed slightly, smiled timidly, "Thank you."

Ah Da of the Liang family burst out laughing, grabbed Zaozi's arm and twirled it around, "This is your little Ah Da? What a well-behaved child, you didn't behave properly a while ago, you have to treat people well in the future."

Lei Shounuo quickly responded, Zaozi hid behind Lei Shounuo as soon as he was let go, making the other people who came over laugh.Ah Da of the Hua family also came, holding the little baby that day.Only then did Zaozi poke his head out, his clear eyes looked at the baby in the quilt without blinking.

Seeing that Zaozi was still afraid of being born, the Hua family Ada took the initiative to greet Zaozi twice, and handed the child to him, "My arms are sore, can you give me a hug?" The child was unsafe and was stopped by Ada of the Liang family.

Zaozi looked at Lei Shounuo, and boldly picked up the little child.The child was looking around with his eyes open, and the jujube was shaking slightly, whispering to the child, squinting his eyes and shrugging his nose, the child immediately became happy and giggled non-stop.

Zaozi teased and laughed himself.It was the first time that Lei Shounuo saw Zaozi's heartfelt smile, and he thought it was very good-looking, prettier than any boy he had ever seen.

The people next to him didn't expect Zaozi to be so skillful in taking care of children. At first they thought he was the delicate little brother sent by the famous and mean Lei family in the city to make trouble, so they didn't have much affection for him.After those days of observation and the current performance, they believed that this newcomer was a good boy who could endure hardships and had a good temper.

The people in Mazi Village are basically the people who were driven in because of the plague and their descendants. Outsiders discriminate against them, and they don't care about outsiders, so they are a bit xenophobic.

After hugging for a while, Zaozi's arms began to ache, and Lei Shounuo sent the child back to Hua's Ada's arms.Zaozi was still very reluctant, so Ada of the Liang family teased: "After you perform the consummation ceremony, you will naturally have your own children."

Just as he was talking, another young man, Ah Da, also came out holding the child, but the child was crying and fussing non-stop. Judging by his gestures, he should be a new baby daddy.The experienced Ada from Bie's family went up to help, but after several hands, the child was still not happy, crying loudly.

Zaozi couldn't hear the child cry, and he felt sad when he cried, so he trotted up and asked if he could help.

That Ah Da was hesitating and didn't know what to do. After all, he was an outsider, so what if he couldn't hold it well and fell down.Ah Da of the Hua family hoped that Zaozi would be recognized by the villagers as soon as possible, so he helped to say a few words. In the end, Zaozi carried the child as he wished. Help him sweep his back.That Ah Da followed beside him, opening his hands to protect him.

I don't know how Zaozi made it, but after walking back and forth for a few rounds, the child's crying gradually died down, with teardrops hanging on his eyelashes, but he kicked up with a smile.Zaozi supported his little feet and held his waist firmly, allowing him to wave his hands and fingers.

Not only the little daddy, but the other Adas were also surprised. No matter how much he coaxed him, why did a young man who didn't know him become obedient after walking a few steps with his child in his arms?Others tried that hold, but it didn't work that well.

"The Lei family's new baby really has a way."

"That is, even small children are willing to get close to him, and he seems to be an obedient person."

"It's not easy to take care of children. Children are also picky."

……

Lei Shounuo walked around the village with Zaozi, roughly talking about the family name and what they did for a living.He also pointed out to him where the fields belonged to the villagers, and what kind of fruit trees were planted on the hills beyond the fields.There are also fruit trees on the mountain on the other side of the village, with longan on one side and litchi on the other.There are few people in Mazishang Village, so they don't grow much.

On the way home, Ah Da of the Hua family came out and gave them a bunch of longan, "Eating this is good for your health. I was given a basket. You want to come to me to get it again, you know."

Lei Shounuo declined for a while, but did not.Ah Da of the Hua family said, "Boy, it's not that you don't know that people in Gaoliang County don't want the things from Mazi Village. Except for drying some and sending them to the Liang family's shopkeepers to sell in the north, the rest are eaten by their own people."

Lei Shounuo thought about his next plan, so he didn't refuse any more. He broke off a jujube and said, "Hua Ada, if you can bring more dried longan to sell in the north, do you think everyone is willing to do it?"

"Of course I am willing," said Hua Jia's Dao Dao, "these things are not available in the north, and they are very easy to sell, but there are almost no people who are willing to help Mazi Village sell things there. How much can the Liang family's peddler bring? Could it be... Do you have a way?"

Lei Shounuo smiled and said, "I just have an idea, but I'm still not sure. Thank you."

"What are you being polite about?" Hua Family Ah Da waved his hands, "It would be the best if things can really work out. Mazi Village is closed, so it won't work for a long time."

"I think so too."

Ah Da of the Hua family said with emotion: "I think your little daddy suffered a lot when he first came to our village. Everyone doesn't like outsiders. Your little daddy is a stubborn person, which made everyone admire in the end. Now you are finally grown up. He looks like a formidable character."

Lei Shounuo smiled and said nothing, and continued to stuff the longan into Zaozi's mouth.With bulging cheeks, Zaozi avoided Lei Shounuo's hand, handed the freshly peeled longan to Lei Shounuo's mouth, and then froze for a moment—why did he start feeding himself?Are they that close?

The bases of his ears were slightly red, and when he was about to withdraw his hand, he felt warmth on his fingertips, and Lei Shounuo ate the fruit into his mouth with a half-smile.

"Come on, get some more." Ada Hua gave them another handful, "Keep your promise, if you want to do something, do it boldly, Ada Hua is optimistic about you."

"Thank you Hua Ada, I haven't said anything about the matter yet, so it's better not to let others know," Lei Shounuo said, "I will definitely tell everyone when I'm sure."

"I know, Hua Ada is the most reliable, don't you think so?"

Lei Shounuo smiled and said, "Yes, so I just consulted with Hua Ada."

"Okay, I know you have a sweet mouth, go back quickly, your new baby is tired."

Lei Shounuo thanked him again, and dragged the dazed Zaozi back home.
