After Xiao Wei said this, he actually felt a little regretful, after all, he knew very well that the second mouth does not love anyone and talk to him.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Le gradually lowered his head, and said in a trembling voice, "Brother, I really know I was wrong."

Xiao Wei's heart softened immediately, he raised his hand and patted Xiao Le's shoulder, and said softly, "I'll take you to the provincial capital when I'm done."

Xiao Le raised his head at once, with excitement in his eyes, "Thank you, brother!"

Next, the two brothers chopped bamboo together, and Yu Dan brought food over at noon. Seeing that the two were talking in harmony, and that the uncle was also very reasonable, Yu Dan was relieved.

After they had eaten, they hurried home with their baskets in their hands. When they passed Uncle Zhang's yard, Uncle Zhang called her to stop.

"Yu Dan."

"Uncle Zhang?"

Yu Dan stopped in her tracks. The courtyard door was half-closed, and if Uncle Zhang couldn't come out, she really didn't know what he was doing.

Uncle Zhang pointed to the halfway up the mountain, "Your second son, is he also chopping bamboo today?"

"Yes," Yu Dan nodded with a smile, and raised the basket, "I just delivered lunch to them."

"Is that so?" Uncle Zhang didn't ask any more questions, and Yu Dan said goodbye with a smile. After Dan left, Uncle Zhang looked at the halfway up the mountain with his hands behind his back, still a little puzzled in his eyes.

If he was shocked when he saw those bamboos yesterday, then he was indeed confused.

This person...why did he suddenly change?

"Nothing?"

Mama Xiao asked excitedly.

"No, and the food is all finished," Yu Dan put down the basket with a smile, and let Mama Xiao look at the empty bowls and plates inside.

"Okay, okay," Xiao's mother nodded repeatedly, "I'll boil the water in the evening, take a bath when they come back, and cook dishes that both the boss and the second child like to eat at night."

In the past, most of the cooking was to cater for Xiao Le's appetite, but even so, Xiao Le still felt that they were biased.

Tonight can be regarded as a small trial.

As brothers, they both love to eat, depending on Xiao Le's mood.

The tricycle they borrowed belonged to Liu's family in Dayantou across the street. Xiao Le must have no way to borrow it. That's why they didn't transport the bamboo out yesterday.

When it was about to end, Xiao Wei asked Xiao Le to wait for him outside Uncle Zhang's door, and he went to borrow a tricycle.

When Xiao Le was sitting on the bamboo pile, Uncle Zhang opened the courtyard door and came out.

He was holding a leaf cigarette in his hand, and he also smelled a lot of smoke on his body.

"Uncle Zhang, don't smoke leaf cigarettes, come and taste mine."

Xiao Le took out a pack of Yunyan from his pocket, it was still new, he opened it directly and gave one to the past.

Uncle Zhang raised his eyebrows. This was the first time Xiao Le gave him cigarettes, and it was also the first time he greeted him proactively.

In the past, they ignored themselves.

Uncle Zhang stretched out his hand to take the cigarette, and then there was a fire in front of his eyes.

And Xiao Le, who was lighting a lighter, was looking at him with raised eyebrows.

After being silent for a while, Uncle Zhang bowed his head and took a puff, and lit the cigarette. To them, the cigarette had no taste, but the leaf smoke was strong.

"You don't smoke?"

Seeing Xiao Le who put the pack of cigarettes back into the bag after lighting himself a cigarette, Uncle Zhang suddenly felt that the cigarette in his hand was a bit hot, and the first thought that came to his mind was: Is there something wrong with this cigarette? ?

"I'm quitting smoking."

As Xiao Le said, he randomly pulled a weed and stuffed it into his mouth, looking like a scumbag.

Uncle Zhang looked down at him, even though he was sitting on the bamboo pile, his feet were shaking dishonestly.

"It's good for young people not to smoke. At that time, we worked all day for work points. It was a lot of pressure. Before we were [-], we followed the older generation to smoke Leaf cigarettes. Once we smoked, we couldn't quit."

Perhaps because he was bored, or because he was somewhat curious about Xiao Le's sudden change, Uncle Zhang said a few more words to him.

Not impatient, Xiao Le listened quietly, but after listening, he suddenly said, "No wonder Uncle Zhang's teeth are so black, they are all from smoking! I can't follow suit. From now on, I will have black teeth when I open my mouth." , then how to marry a daughter-in-law."

Uncle Zhang: ... With your current reputation, it is even more difficult to marry a wife.

While talking, the two heard the sound of a tricycle, and it was Xiao Wei driving a tricycle over.

"Stop bragging with Uncle Zhang, I have to work." Xiao Le got up, patted his butt, and began to move bamboo into the car.

After taking his last puff of cigarette, Uncle Zhang threw it on the ground and stamped out the end of the cigarette, then put the extinguished Leaf Cigarette at the gate of the courtyard, walked over and said, "Dawei, let me help you."

Xiao Wei has a good relationship with Uncle Zhang, and he often brings back some daily necessities for him. Sometimes Uncle Zhang is not feeling well, and Xiao Wei often brings him medicine.

"Our brother can do it."

"You are welcome, folks from the village, do you think my old man is old?"

Uncle Zhang said while bending over to help.

"What's the matter? A man has 41 flowers, and Uncle Zhang is only 55. At half the age of flowers, he can still attract bees and butterflies."

Xiao Le's voice sounded next to him.

It almost made Uncle Zhang and Xiao Wei wince.

"Xiao Le!"

Xiao Wei frowned.

Uncle Zhang's old face blushed, and he didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed, and he said in one breath, "I'm fine with Widow Li!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Le burst into laughter, and Xiao Wei couldn't hold it back.

This Widow Li is also a widowed old man in their village. She had some meaning for Uncle Zhang in the early years, and asked Uncle Zhang to help her with this and that favor from time to time.

However, Uncle Zhang is a tough guy, so I helped him as if he was from a village, so I would help if I could, and besides, the other party was also a pitiful person.

I don't want people to have that kind of meaning. It wasn't until the end when another uncle asked whether they were living together that Uncle Zhang suddenly realized that he didn't help anymore.

But it made Widow Li sad for a long time.

Looking back at the courtyard door that Uncle Zhang slammed shut, Xiao Le, who had already installed the bamboo, was sitting in the car, and turned to Xiao Weidao who was driving.

"Brother, look at how happy Uncle Zhang is, he doesn't even know how hard to close the door."

Xiao Wei: ...Your brother's mouth will really offend people.

Xiao Le, who happened to offend others, didn't seem to know it, so what to do.

But... Are Uncle Zhang and Widow Li still in touch?

Unknowingly, Xiao Wei began to think about it.

When he arrived at the bamboo shop, Xiao Le saw a lot of villagers. It was time to sell bamboo, and there were five or six people in line in front.

During that time, Xiao Le also met an acquaintance.

"Isn't that third uncle? Brother, I'll go over and say hello."

"Xiao Le, you..."

Xiao Wei was about to call Xiao Le to stop, but Xiao Le had already passed by.

Xiao Wei frowned. Just as he was about to go forward, another car came from behind. When the young man saw Xiao Wei, he immediately got out of the car and talked with him about the fruit seedlings. Xiao Wei could only watch helplessly as Xiao Le stopped at Xiao San next to uncle.

"Third Uncle," Xiao Le stood in front of the yellow-faced man who was bragging with others, smiling, "What are you bragging about? I saw a cow flying on Third Uncle's head from afar."

This made the neighbors laugh.

But when he thought of Xiao Le's temperament, he only laughed halfway, then stopped, then turned his head away, and stopped talking to Uncle Xiao.

Third Uncle Xiao's mouth twitched at Xiao Le's words just now, and he somewhat felt that Xiao Le was mocking him.

But when he looked over, he saw Xiao Le's eyes were full of seriousness, which showed that he was still convinced.

Immediately, Uncle Xiao showed a loving smile, "Why are you here?"

Xiao Le pointed to Xiao Wei, "Come here with my elder brother to sell bamboo, oh my third uncle, it's your turn soon."

Xiao Le glanced ahead, there was still a person in line in front of Third Uncle Xiao, and the other was already weighing bamboo.

"Yeah, it's been a long queue..."

"I knew Uncle San loved me the most!"

Before Third Uncle Xiao could finish speaking, Xiao Le suddenly said loudly.

Attracted Xiao Wei who was talking to the young man.

I saw his younger brother embrace the third uncle who loves to provoke dissension with a rosy face, and then waved to him, "Brother! The third uncle said let's call first! He is not in a hurry!"

"What am I..."

Third Uncle Xiao was shocked, and when he came to his senses, he hurried to explain, but his shoulder hurt, and it was Xiao Le who grabbed his shoulder tightly.

I saw Xiao Le looking at him very moved, "Third Uncle, I know you don't want people to know, but what's wrong with you loving me? You are the first thing I think of when I eat and drink on weekdays. Give it to my parents, you said, you didn't hurt in vain, did you?"

"...It doesn't hurt in vain, it doesn't hurt in vain."

Uncle Xiao, who loves face and dares not get angry under the watchful eyes of the public, who ruined his image, squeezed out such a sentence from his mouth.

"Did you hear me, bro! Bring the car over here! It's our turn!"

Xiao Le waved violently at Xiao Wei.

It was rare to see Third Uncle Xiao's face look so ugly, Xiao Wei let out a light sigh, and after talking to the young man, he drove the tricycle over.

After weighing and settling accounts, the two left in an empty tricycle. Xiao Le joyfully waved at Third Uncle Xiao, "Goodbye Third Uncle!"

"……goodbye."

Third Uncle Xiao had already moved to Xiao Le's original position.

This is also for fear of offending people.

Uncle Xiao is not very courageous, but he has a lot of thoughts, and all of them are small thoughts. The worst thing is that Uncle Xiao and Xiao Le are good friends.

Obviously they are brothers, but they only have one daughter. The elder brother and the second elder brother are all sons, and there are three in a family, and two in a family.

What about their family?Not even a handle.

So Uncle Xiao and Aunt Xiao fell in love with the days of sowing discord.

Among them, Xiao Le was the most provoked by them.

"I'll return the car and bring the money, and I'll send you to Xiaoqiao before going there?"

Xiao Wei asked in a good mood.

Although this borrowing of a car is said to be a loan, but in the end I have to give some money to show my heart.

"I'll go with you, and then we'll walk back."

Xiao Le said.

Xiao Wei was a little surprised by this answer, but Xiao Le surprised his family a lot these two days, so he didn't take it to heart, but felt happy instead.

"Just now third uncle really asked us to weigh first?"

Xiao Wei didn't really believe it, and Uncle Xiao's expression was really not very good-looking, it was not voluntary at first glance.

"I said it," Xiao Le snorted coldly, "If he and the third aunt hadn't provoked my relationship with my mother and sister-in-law, would I be so irritable and want to beat someone so much?"

Xiao Wei almost raised his legs in agreement with these words.

Although we should respect the old and love the young, but Xiao Wei is so old, except for Xiao Sanshu and his wife, I have never seen such a restless and kind elder!

Uncle and Dad both said that peace is the most important thing, it's all about a family, let them bear it as much as they can.

The reason is that when they were young, they took Third Uncle Xiao out to play, and almost had an accident. The two felt a little guilty towards him, so they forbeared a little more.

Xiao Le also thought of this, "If you want me to say, Uncle and Dad are guilty of him, these years have already been paid off, and what does it have to do with our generation? Just relying on them saying that I am not my parents' baby , this matter cannot forgive them!"

"You can think so, brother is very pleased."

Xiao Wei looked at him appreciatively, "The next time I go to the provincial capital, I'll buy you the pair of shoes you want!"

The original owner had always wanted a pair of brand-name shoes, and it cost more than 1000, but he didn’t have a job, so he begged Xiao Wei to buy it for him. No, it wasn’t a request, it was an order, and of course he refused.

And then they were provoked by Uncle Xiao and the others, and the original owner became angry.

"Thank you bro!"

Xiao Le thanked me flatteredly, with a happy look on his face.

"As long as you can be as sensible as you are today, and come out with new styles, I'll buy them for you too!"

Xiao Le couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, and repeatedly promised that he would do a good job, and he would no longer be soft-hearted.

Regardless of whether it can be done or not, Xiao Wei is already very pleased to be able to say this.

Unexpectedly, after arriving at Liu's house, Uncle Liu was sitting at the gate of the courtyard wrapping dry cigarettes. Xiao Le got off the tricycle first, walked over, took out the pack of Yunyan from his pocket, and handed one out, "Uncle Liu."

When Uncle Liu lent the car to Xiao Wei this morning, he knew that Xiao Le had cut the bamboo yesterday. Now that Uncle Liu came to return the car with Xiao Le, Uncle Liu was even more surprised.

After he parked the car with a glance, Uncle Liu took the cigarette for the sake of Xiao Wei who came over, but he didn't smoke. Instead, he held the cigarette and asked, "Today, too, did you chop bamboo?"

"Yeah," Xiao Le nodded, "I cut it for a day, how much did you sell?"

He looked at Xiao Wei, Xiao Wei smiled and said, "One thousand and two soon."

Xiao Cheng can sell more than 400 a day alone, and the two of them can sell [-] a day, which is also the result of not being lazy.

This made Uncle Liu understand that Xiao Le did not paddle, "Okay, I have finally grown up."

Uncle Liu looked at Xiao Le with some relief.

"I've grown up a long time ago," Xiao Le frowned, looking a little unhappy, Xiao Wei hurried over, "Uncle Liu, this is a little thought from us, thank you, I will trouble you in the future."

After handing over the money, he dragged Xiao Le away.

Uncle Liu stared at Xiao Le's back. Not long after, his youngest son came out of the yard, "Dad, it's time to eat."

"Eh."

Uncle Liu looked back at his son, thinking that his son had been Xiao's second's little follower back then, but then fell out for some reason.

Fortunately, they fell out, and now the youngest son is getting married soon, unlike Xiao's second son, who is still a bachelor.

"He speaks in a weird way," Xiao Le grumbled dissatisfied.

"No, you're overthinking," Xiao Wei said.

"I'm already this old," Xiao Le raised his arm, motioning for Xiao Wei to take a look, "He also said that I've finally grown up, isn't that intentional?"

Xiao Wei knew that he was narrow-minded, so he could only turn the question to Uncle Liu's youngest son, "Did you know that Winter Melon is back?"

"I know," Xiao Le put down his hand, and walked slowly behind him, "I was my little follower in junior high school, and then went to vocational school, and this time I come back to seem to be getting married."

"You know this as well?"

"Auntie is a big speaker, I don't know?"

Xiao Wei looked proud.

Xiao Wei laughed. Seeing that he wasn't so angry, he continued along the same path, "Yeah, but it doesn't seem to be a happy event. He said he bought a house in the city and has no money to do it."

"No ability," Xiao Le snorted lightly, looking very contemptuous.

Seeing this, Xiao Wei's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help reminding, "I'm already this old, and I haven't bought a house yet."

"That's because you don't want to buy it," Xiao Le immediately widened his eyes. "If you wanted to buy it, you would have bought it a long time ago! Besides, we still don't like the houses in the county seat, we want to buy the house in the provincial capital!"

"...Thank you for looking up to me so much."

"You're welcome, who made you my brother? I'm so good, how bad can you be?"

Listening to this sentence, Xiao Wei not only remembered a sentence on the Internet: You are so ordinary, but so confident.

Xiao Le, a popular believer, was not shy. He returned home blissfully, took a shower, and came out with a table full of delicacies.

Xiao Le's stomach was growling with hunger, and he sat on the edge of the table early, staring helplessly at Xiao Wei after taking a shower before eating.

"You eat first."

Seeing that he didn't move his chopsticks, Xiao's mother said casually, in the past, Yuanshen would never wait for anyone.

"No, my brother promised to buy me shoes, so I can't wait for him to eat."

Xiao Le looked upright.

But those eyes kept staring at the braised fish.

After hearing this, Yu Dan immediately walked to the side room, and said to Xiao Wei who was taking a bath inside, "Brother Dawei, wash up quickly, I'm waiting for you to eat."

"Here we come," Xiao Wei said quickly, and came out in less than 5 minutes.

As soon as he entered the main room, he found that the whole family was waiting for him to eat.

Xiao Wei looked movedly at Xiao Le who never waited for them to eat.

"For the sake of being so obedient, brother, please add another pair of shoes."

Xiao Le politely asked him to sit down.

Xiao Wei suddenly felt that the stool was burning his ass, so he let out an ah, picked up the bowl and started to eat.

Xiao Ma and Yu Dan both looked at Xiao Le from time to time, seeing him buried in his food and not finding anything, Xiao Ma couldn't help but said to Brother Xiao, "Eat more, tonight, it's all your favorite food."

These words made Xiao Le finally move. He raised his face from the bowl and looked at Yu Dan and Xiao's mother. The two suddenly became nervous.

"Why only do what we like? Why not cook something you like from time to time."

Xiao Le's words made Xiao Ma and Yu Dan look at each other.

Then, the two brought food to Xiao Le one after another.

Xiao Wei, who watched his wife pick up food for "other people": ...

Then there was another bowl in front of Yu Dan, and she looked over, it was Xiao Wei's urging face.

Yu Dan blushed and brought him some vegetables.

Xiao Le glanced at it, lowered his head and raised his lips.

After eating, Xiao Le walked out with his hands behind his back.

"where to?"

Mama Xiao asked casually.

"Go around the third uncle's house."

Xiao Le returned.

Xiao's mother turned pale, and immediately looked at Xiao Wei. Xiao Wei was silent for a while, then waved to Xiao's mother, "Let him go."

Let's see if what you say on the road counts, you won't just treat those words as shit after a meal, right?

Uncle Xiao was cursing at home, kicking a stool over from time to time, making the whole yard a mess.

As soon as Xiao Le pushed open the courtyard door, he saw such a scene.

After meeting Xiao Le's eyes, Third Uncle Xiao's angry face twisted abruptly from anger to kindness, "Oh, it's Lele who is here."

"That's right," Xiao Le walked in with a smile, "I know that Uncle San misses me."
