Retired soldier king and his little sweetheart

The scene was chaotic, and everyone's focus was on Yan San.

Only Lu Yan stood at the edge of the crowd, looking at Yan Wenxiang expressionlessly.

Yan Wenxiang's lips turned white due to blood loss, and he sat on the ground covering his shoulder and neck with one hand. He lowered his head at first, ignoring Yan San's insults and the police's questioning.

Until Lu Yan, who was not far away from the crowd, the little girl's clothes and trousers were rubbed with dirt, her jaw was slightly closed, her long eyes were too white, and she looked straight at herself.

She seemed to be afraid.

Yan Wenxiang waved his hand at her, raised the corners of his dry lips, and forced out a smile.

But his appearance is really hard to appease Lu Yan, he is too thin, his face is sunken, with half-dried blood, except for those eyes, there seems to be no clean place on his whole body.

Zhuang Xiaoduo was busy fighting Yan San, and Tang Huai noticed Lu Yan.

He walked over and knelt down behind Lu Yan, followed her gaze, and found that he was looking at Yan Wenxiang.

Tang Huai took Lu Yan's hand: "What's wrong?"

Lu Yan turned to Tang Huai tremblingly, only blinked for a second, tears rolled down.

"Mom... used to be like this."

"It's okay, come here." Tang Huai hugged Lu Yan into his arms, "Don't be afraid, tell brother what's going on."

Lu Yan sobbed and said, "Dad was drunk, and often beat Mom. She whimpered. There was a lot of blood on her head, and her clothes were all red."

Tang Huai's breath was stagnant, and he grabbed Lu Yan's shoulder to make her back, looking into her eyes: "Has he ever hit you?"

Lu Yan shook his head, and Tang Huai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dad is terrible when he's drunk. He beats people and smashes things. Once he broke the chandelier and dropped a lot of pieces." Lu Yan tore off his collar: "That's what was scratched by the pieces."

On the little girl's delicate skin, there was a dark red scar about 2cm long, which seemed to have lasted no more than a year.

After several questionings, I found out that before the age of 5, Lu Yan’s family atmosphere was very good. Suddenly, there was a quarrel between his parents, and his father took Lu Yan to do a paternity test. The result of the test was that there was no blood relationship. After that, my father often drank alcohol, and occasionally had disputes with my mother.

No need to think about it, Tang Huai's mother would not think about quarreling and fighting to avoid her children.

Tang Huai suddenly felt that these two people were interesting enough, they quarreled and fought, but they didn't get a divorce, and they had to carry it together when something happened, they were so disgustingly in love, but they just killed another child.

After the police obtained the evidence, they called the people on the scene to record statements, and sent Yan Wenxiang to the hospital for injury assessment.

It turned out that Yan San was demanded by the factory for compensation after the tire piercing incident, but he refused to plead guilty and had conflicts with others, originally because of local snakes who were not very popular in the factory, now He was fired directly and owed a sum of money to the factory.

After squatting at home for a few days, he heard people say that Yan Wenxiang went to work in a pig farm. He didn't dare to provoke Tang Huai, but he didn't take Yan Wenxiang seriously, so he asked Yan Wenxiang to borrow money. Talk about AIDS.

Yan Wenxiang didn't carry the virus at all, so he ignored him, so Yan San suffocated the bad water, sneaked into the pig farm and smashed the fermentation bed, thinking that Tang Huai and Zhuang Xiaoduo would lose a sum of money, and Yan Wenxiang would be fired .

However, the fermentation bed was contracted out, so Tang Huai and Zhuang Xiaoduo could not be blamed for this loss. When Yan Wenxiang stopped Yan San, he was pushed to the ground and just hit the rake, causing a big cut on his shoulder and neck.

This time Yan San really wanted to go in.

Just as Tang Huai was about to pack up the fish he bought from the town, and planned to make braised ones for the children, Zhuang Xiaoduo ran in with the inner liner of the rice cooker.

"There's no more rice."

Zhuang Xiaoduo was basically doing the rice washing and cooking, and he was so busy these days that he jumped up and down and didn't even notice that he had finished eating.

The crucian carp on the chopping board jumped vigorously, Tang Huai put down the hand holding the knife, put the fish back into the bucket, and it escaped for the time being.

There was still flour at home, Tang Huai asked if he wanted dumplings.

"Okay!" Zhuang Xiao hasn't eaten dumplings for a long time, and almost forgot what it tastes like.

People in the south tend to eat more soup dumplings, which are usually eaten for breakfast like wontons, but Zhuang Xiaoduo has been studying and working abroad for many years, so he seldom sees soup dumplings in Shanghai, so he is more used to eating in the north.

In addition, Lu Yan is from the area north of the Yellow River, so he decided to make dumplings.

Tang Huai mixed the noodles first, and asked Zhuang Xiaoduo and Lu Yan to cut some leeks and come back.

When I was in the army, there must be dumplings for internal breaks and dinners, but I haven’t made them for almost 2 years. While kneading noodles, Tang Huai thought that the current materials at home are enough to make several kinds of stuffing.

There is no problem with leek eggs, sauerkraut pork has no sauerkraut, it is changed to cabbage pork, and there are some shrimps.

Tang Huai shook hands to put the flour on, took the shrimp out of the refrigerator to defrost, and continued kneading the dough.

Zhuang Xiaoduo and Lu Yan came back with a large bundle of leeks.

Tang Huai: "Why do you cut so many?"

Zhuang Xiaoduo put it in the basin: "The leeks are a bit old, so I cut off half of them and wait for the new ones to grow, and eat the tender ones."

Zhuang Xiaoduo squatted on the ground to pick up the leeks, and looked up at Tang Huai from time to time. After he turned his hair into thorns, he felt like he had just met him. Zhuang Xiaoduo's eyes widened.

It was much darker.

"It's so thick." Zhuang Xiaoduo sighed in his heart, and he didn't see Tang Huai deliberately exercising his body. Why did his biceps seem to be able to punch himself and fly him to the pig factory.

As Tang Huai worked hard while kneading the noodles, the strong muscles on his arms became more stressed, and behind his ears were a few drops of sweat from the heat of exercise, like a boxer.

"Why do you keep looking at me?" Tang Huai smiled.

Zhuang Xiaoduo picked out a handful of leeks, stood by the sink and rinsed them with boiling water.

"As long as I'm looking at you, do you know?"

Tang Huai put the kneaded dough into a small porcelain basin and covered it with a cloth, "Basically, I can do it, I have been specially trained, not to mention you are so blatant."

Zhuang Xiaoduo came over: "Of course it's blatant, my boyfriend, do I still want to sneak a peek?"

Tang Huai smiled shyly, bent over and wanted to have a loving kiss.

As soon as Zhuang Xiaoduo's mouth was pouted, Tang Huai withdrew, pretending to pick up the cloth on the dough and turn it over again.

Before Zhuang Xiaoduo asked what was wrong, Lu Yan stood at the door and said, "Can I make dumplings with this?"

The two saw that the sister was holding an August melon. On the way to cut leeks, Zhuang Xiaoduo had picked a few for her. The seeds in the one my sister had eaten had already been eaten, leaving only a purple-skinned meat shell.

Tang Huai had never eaten August melon, so he didn't know if the skin could be eaten. The fleshy flesh would not be too unpalatable. He took the August melon and confirmed to Zhuang Xiaoduo, "It's not poisonous."

Lu Yan's mouth twitched slightly.

Zhuang Xiaoduo: "It's not poisonous, how could it be poisonous, but I don't know if it tastes good or not. We only eat the core inside."

"Try it."

Lu Yan got an affirmative answer, and happily went back to the living room to watch TV.

Soon, all kinds of fillings were ready, and all of them were served on the dining table. The family of three gathered around the dining table and started making dumplings.

Originally, Tang Huai was thinking that Tang Huai would be in charge of rolling the skin, and Zhuang Xiaoduo and Lu Yan would be in charge of wrapping.

However, Tang Huai's plan soon failed.

Zhuang Xiaoduo can still make dumplings, but his speed is not flattering. I saw him carefully pick up the dumpling wrappers, and precisely control the amount of each dumpling filling. If there are too many dumplings, he will pick them out, and if they are too little, he will add a little. Use chopsticks to dip some water on the edges of the dumpling wrappers, and pinch them one by one.

Then he looked at his work with satisfaction and nodded: "Not bad."

After Lu Yan broke a few dumplings, she started to wrap the air, and the stuffed cakes were more stuffed than the dumplings she made.

Tang Huai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she speeded up the rolling process, and at an average speed of 6 seconds, everyone finally had dumplings before 8:[-].

Zhuang Xiaoduo added two spoonfuls of chili oil to his vinegar bowl, stirred it well, and put a dumpling with thin skin and big stuffing inside. The tender dumpling was covered with vinegar and oily chili oil, and put it into his mouth all at once. inside.

It's leek eggs, he applauded contentedly.

Although I don't like dumplings very much, I really feel that they are delicious in the world when I have a meal once in a while. In addition to the taste of the dumplings themselves, what makes people happy is the satisfaction of each bite.

In addition, after a busy day, sitting at home, with the early autumn breeze blowing outside the door, there are people you love in front of you, and the dumplings in your mouth are delicious.

"Is it delicious?" Tang Huai picked up one casually.

Zhuang Xiaoduo nodded frantically.

Tang Huai opened his mouth, put in a dumpling and chewed it tastefully for a few times, then the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he swallowed it down, resisting the unpalatable taste.

"What's the matter? Isn't it delicious?" Zhuang Xiaoduo asked, and then picked up another one, which was shrimp and eggs, which was still delicious.

Tang Huai: "What I ate should be August melon egg stuffing."

Zhuang Xiaoduo held back a smile and looked at Lu Yan. Lu Yan happened to poke a dumpling with his chopsticks, and he got caught, August melon stuffing, and silently put it aside.

Thinking that Lu Yan was leaving tomorrow, Zhuang Xiaoduo clings to Lu Yan after dinner.

Tang Huai told him what Lu Yan told him in the afternoon, and now she looked at this arrogant sister with more affection.

"When the time comes, let your brother tell your mother, can you come to Yunnan to play every summer? Next year, my brothers will have money, and then I will take you out to play."

Lu Yan stared at Zero who was fishing on the computer, and gave a casual hum.

"Can I go see the puppy again tomorrow?"

Zhuang Xiaoduo: "Should I give you one, I will have a puppy to accompany you in the future."

"No." Lu Yan turned to look at Zhuang Xiaoduo: "Mom and Dad don't like puppies, I can go to Ouyang Te's house to see them."

Zhuang Xiaoduo gossiped and bumped Lu Yan with his shoulder: "Is Ouyang Te your boyfriend? I promise not to tell your brother, you tell me."

Lu Yan put aside Zhuang Xiaoduo like a baby: "You are so annoying~ He is just a brat."

Zhuang Xiaoduo: "Hey, don't you too?"

"Then let's talk about it when he grows up, or if he can take the No.1 exam at the end of the semester, I will consider it."

The two of them didn't go to bed until eleven o'clock in the evening. Tang Huai was lying on the bed looking at Zhuang Xiaoduo's photo album, which Zhuang Xiaoduo just found out two days ago.

After Zhuang Xiaoduo took a shower, he went to bed with the coolness and the fragrance of shower gel.

The two leaned together to look through.

"This is when I was stung by a hornet when I was a child. Hahaha, it took two days for the swelling to heal. Because I was afraid of being laughed at by my classmates, I asked my grandfather to help me ask the teacher for leave from school."

In the photo, half of the face of a little boy with a pot head was swollen and deformed. He was holding a piece of watermelon in his hand, looking at the camera resentfully.

Tang Huai grinned, pointed to another photo and asked, "What kind of competition is this?"

Zhuang Xiaoduo: "It seems to be Children's Day in the fourth grade. Our school held a relay race. Because a classmate was injured, I temporarily stepped in. This is the only sports-related award in my life."

Tang Huai squeezed Zhuang Xiaoduo's waist: "It's very good, and I won No.3."

Zhuang Xiaoduo rested his chin on Tang Huai's shoulder: "This is also the only time in our class that we didn't take first place in the relay."

Tang Huai: ...

"Okay, go to bed." Tang Huai closed the photo album, put it on the table, turned off the lamp, and dragged Zhuang Xiaoduo into the thin quilt.

"Didn't you say sleep... Oh... Don't... It's so itchy..."

"No...my sister is next door!" Zhuang Xiaoduo clamped his legs tightly and blocked Tang Huai's troublesome hands with his hands.

Tang Huai grabbed Zhuang Xiaoduo's hands, held the other firmly on the top of his head: "Don't go in, use your hands..."

After speaking, he kissed Zhuang Xiaoduo's lips fiercely. After a few rounds, Zhuang Xiaoduo's whole body became weak, and he could only whimper and twist around.

……

Zhuang Xiaoduo was so tired that he fell asleep after having a good time by himself, and only Tang Huai was left alone in the dark to calm down the congested one that no one cares about.

the next day.

Zhuang Xiaoduo and Tang Huai connected with the airline and sent Lu Yan to the plane.

The two drove to beat rice.

The rice harvested a while ago was all dried in the sun, and about 4 catties were harvested in nearly 3000 acres of fields. Before they went out, they put two bags of millet in the car and took them to the rice milling factory in the town to grind them into rice.

After Zhuang Xiaoduo left Chating Village, he never saw the rice milling factory again. He always bought rice in the supermarket, and after living on his own, he even ordered takeaway to deliver it, and he didn't even bother to go to the supermarket.

In the past, because I ate takeaway all the year round, I couldn't finish a bag of 20 catties in a year.

Unexpectedly, within half a year after returning home, the sack of rice at home was all eaten.

The rice threshing factory in the town was very small, and after the time when the rice had just been harvested, there was no one there when Zhuang Xiaoduo and Tang Huai arrived.

The boss enthusiastically started the machine, and there was a booming sound, shaking off the dust that had been stuck on the roof and pipes for many years.

Two sacks of rice were beaten into one and a half sacks, and a sack of bran was also obtained.

The rice in Yunnan is different from the rice in the Northeast or the Yangtze River Delta region that is commonly found in the market. Relatively speaking, the grains are smaller and slender.

After he was busy, he went around the factory as usual. Now that it is up and running, he only needs to raise it step by step. Zhuang Aiguo also gets along well with the employees, and he can take care of everything.

As soon as he arrived at the factory, he heard Zhuang Fengxiang cooing and pouring two large buckets of chicken feed mixed with millet on the ground.

Hundreds of chickens came running from all directions behind the mountain, huddled together and buried their heads in eating.

Zhuang Xiaoduo went around the pigsty, looked at the records of the past two days, and suddenly remembered that Yan Wenxiang was in the hospital, who cares about the heterotopic fermentation bed, if the pig manure accumulates for three days, it will be repaid.

When strolling past, I saw Zhuang Aiguo with his upper body naked, wearing rubber shoes and gloves, tossing on the fermentation bed. When he bent down, the fat on his stomach squeezed into a lump, and trembled slightly with his strength.

Disgusting with a hint of cuteness.

"Brother!" Zhuang Xiaoduo ran over, "Why are you here?"

Zhuang Aiguo gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not here but you are here! You two are just throwing your hands away!"

Zhuang Xiaoduo laughed, put on the rubber shoes with Tang Huai and went up to work together.The three of them worked hard for half an hour before finishing it, and added some strains.

When they came down, they were all smelly, as if they had been pickled by pig manure, and they walked back panting.

Zhuang Aiguo picked up his shoes, remembered something, and walked to Zhuang Xiaoduo: "I saw the orchard next to it for rent today. There are ready-made apple orchards, banana orchards, and 6 strawberry sheds."

Zhuang Xiaoduo: "The one on the road to the pig farm?"

"Well, the one next to us is Apple, and the information on it says there are other things in it." Zhuang Aiguo told Zhuang Xiaoduo the offer again.

"Do you want to contract?" Zhuang Xiaoduo asked.

Zhuang Aiguo: "How can I have the money and energy? I just want to see if the price is good and the location is good to see if you want to do it."

Zhuang Xiaoduo thought about it, now that the pig farm has just started, it will be very busy when the piglets start to be born, there are still hundreds of chickens, and there are some fields at home, the fields cannot be abandoned, as grandpa said, wasteland It takes one year to raise land for ten years.

He turned around and asked Tang Huai, "It seems that I'm too busy, what do you think?"

"Well, but the conditions are pretty good."

On the way back, Zhuang Xiaoduo sat upright in the co-pilot, and he found a snakeskin bag to cushion the seat, fearing that the dung all over his body would be rubbed into the car.

He suddenly thought of someone.

"Tang Huai, what do you think about the orchard being contracted by Brother Kang? If it's possible, the third aunt's family won't have to go out to work."

Before Tang Huai could reply, Zhuang Xiaoduo took out his mobile phone and looked for brother Jiankang's WeChat to ask if he was interested.

October is approaching, and he should be back soon to prepare for the wedding.

"The third aunt said what October is the wedding date?" Zhuang Xiaoduo raised his head and asked.

"number 3."

Zhuang Xiaoduo turned the calendar to the 3rd day, his eyes trembled, and he secretly glanced at Tang Huai, making sure that he was driving seriously and not looking at himself.

On the 3rd day on the mobile phone, the words "Tang Huai's birthday" were recorded on the schedule.

This was what Tang Huai saw on his ID card when he was hospitalized for allergies, so he added it to his schedule because he was afraid he would forget it.

Zhuang Xiaoduo put away his cell phone and looked out the window thoughtfully, thinking that he must give Tang Huai a big surprise then.

The author has something to say: Author: Comrade Xiaoduo, what surprise do you want to prepare? (obscene)

Xiaoduo: Leave me alone! !
