Dressed as the uncle of farming culture

Patriarch Xiao knew that Mo's family was rich, but he didn't want the other party to be able to easily buy a yard in the county seat!

You must know that when they came to the village to settle down, the house and fields alone cost no less than 150 taels!

But now he bought another yard in the county seat.

Even the smallest yard costs more than 100 taels.

What surprised Patriarch Xiao even more was that the relationship between Mo's family and Xiao Shuang's family was so good, but when he thought that Xiao Shuang was Mo Cheng's godson, he could understand it. If the relationship was not good, Xiao Shuang would not be accepted Son.

"This... Patriarch, how about we discuss it first and then give you a reply?"

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry," Patriarch Xiao left with a smile after having lunch at Xiao's house.

"Brother, since Brother Cheng has a yard in the county seat, there is no need to bother Xiao Yun," Xiao Le said.

"I will take good care of Shuang'er," Mo Cai said.

Boss Xiao shook his head, "No, Mo has to stay at home."

He also knew about the Mo family, if Mo Cai left, then Mo Cheng would have to make a mess of his life?Only then did Mo know about Xiao Le's physical condition. He was not at home. What if something happened to Xiao Le?

"How about letting his second uncle follow Shuang'er to the county seat?"

The Chen family also went to a private school for the second brother Chen for a few years. Later, because the family was too poor and couldn't afford it, they went home and became a farmer. Brother Chen.

"That's a good idea." Boss Xiao's eyes lit up. After all, Second Brother Chen is quite a good person. "We can't let him take care of Shuang'er for nothing. We need to pay some wages every month."

"There is still a place to live," Boss Xiao looked at Mo Cheng, "The rent is based on the county..."

"Brother, you are pulling my face and trampling on the ground," Mo Cheng helplessly interrupted Boss Xiao, "I am Shuang'er's adoptive father, and he..."

"Ahem," Xiao Le saw Boss Xiao's complexion turned pale, and immediately coughed twice to remind him to speak up.

Mo Cheng had no choice but to swallow the sentence that he was the same as his second uncle, "We are all a family, why bother so much? If you are so out of touch, big brother, I will feel bad."

"That's right," Mo Cai persuaded, "We all want our children to grow up, have a good place to live, and have someone to take care of them. The reason why we bought the yard is to bring our family to live there for a few days when we are free." Don’t worry, it’s empty even if it’s empty on weekdays, it’s occupied by people, and it’s still moisture-proof.”

So Boss Xiao went to reply to Patriarch Xiao, and when Xiao Yun found a private school, Xiao Shuang followed Second Brother Chen to the county seat.

After patriarch Xiao said this, he hurried to Chen's house again, and talked to Second Brother Chen about it. Second Brother Chen didn't want to ask for wages, but Xiao Lao Dao.

"It's not a matter of ten days or half a month. It's a matter of several years. Don't shirk it. We don't worry about others. Please ask the second brother to take care of it, so we can rest assured."

Brother Chen nodded.

And Mo Cai first took Boss Xiao, Xiao Shuang, and Second Brother Chen to the county seat to look at the yard. The yard is fully furnished, except that there are few beddings, so they can just take them home.

As for food and so on, Mo Cai directly bought more than half a year's portion for Xiao Shuang to eat with all his might.

Half a month later, Xiao Yun came back and said that he had found a wife, but Xiao Shuang had to be tested first. Xiao Shuang was a little nervous, and Mo Cheng asked him several questions about articles. Although he stuttered in his answers, there was nothing wrong with him. Patted him on the shoulder, "No problem, don't be nervous."

How could he not be nervous, Xiao Shuang tossed and turned and couldn't sleep that night, and got into the carriage with big dark circles under his eyes the next day.

Mrs. Xiao even burned incense for her ancestors, thinking that Xiao Shuang would be left behind.

Mo came back alone in the afternoon, "I've already stayed."

Brother Chen went to clean up the yard a few days ago, so Xiao Shuang went back to the yard directly after finishing his work.

At night, after discussing with Mrs. Xiao for a long time, Boss Xiao and Mrs. Xiao went out to pick up the work the next day.

Xiao Le knew that they didn't want to use the money he gave, and Mo Cheng naturally understood. He rubbed Xiao Le's shoulders, "Take your time."

Xiao Le nodded.

In July, the village chief's family held a happy event, and Yingying got married.

The Mo family also followed the gift money.

Mo Cai even went to eat the wedding wine, and shook his head when he came back, "It's not good, the face of the groom's officer is all black."

I heard that a lot of dowry money was collected, but the meat and vegetables on the table were pitifully scarce.

Seeing Mo Cai talking about the dinner at the village chief's house like ordinary people, Mrs. Zhang Si and Zhang Si looked at each other, and they came back earlier than Mo Cai.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Seeing everyone staring at him without speaking, Mo Cai said helplessly, "I can afford it, I can put it down, it's all over."

"Don't worry, my sister-in-law will find you a better one in the future!"

"Yes, yes, your fourth sister-in-law's niece is not bad."

"Really?" Xiao Le asked, "Sister-in-law Si, how old is your niece?"

Mrs. Zhang Si stared at Zhang Si who was silent, and said in a rather impressive way, "...six years old."

Mo Cai spouted out the tea, and after seeing the smile on Mo Cheng's face, he wanted to stamp his feet even more.

"Brother! Don't laugh!"

Mo Cheng picked up the tea and drank it slowly, "Da Zhuang is [-] years old this year, and he will marry Cui Hong in a few years, fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law, what are your plans for him?"

Seeing that he changed the subject, Mo was satisfied, made tea for himself again, and brought out a lot of snacks, and put them on the table for everyone to eat.

Xiao Le lazily leaned on Mo Cheng's shoulder, and the rest of the people watched without saying anything.

"Although the house is a wooden house, it has been repaired anyway, and it is big enough. The thatched house of Cuihong's family is a bit dilapidated. What we think is that after the two get married, Da Zhuang's grandfather will also take over and take care of him together. .”

Uncle Wang has no children, no daughter, no wife, only one granddaughter, and it would be good for them to take her over.

Mo Cheng nodded, "You guys have thought about it very well, but what I think is that Shuang'er is studying in the county seat, so it's better to go to the county seat as well, one is to be his companion, the other is to let him find something to learn. He still needs to take care of a family."

Zhang Si and his wife were taken aback for a moment, then said excitedly, "If you can learn a craft, that would be the best!"

"That kid likes to make pastries," Xiao Le pointed to Mo Cai, "I already know several kinds."

Mo Cai chuckled, and glanced at Mo Cheng who didn't know anything, "It's all because I taught well, I was just about to discuss with you, how about we open a pastry shop in the county?"

"I remember that there are a few good shops across the street from that yard," Mo Cheng said.

"Then if I invest some money in it, can I get a dividend at the end of the year?"

Xiao Le sat up straight, his eyes were full of money.

"Of course, the fourth sister-in-law and the fourth brother will also go to the county town to help Da Zhuang look after the shop. After the sister-in-law gives birth, the fourth brother will be replaced. The two sister-in-laws will be with Da Zhuang..."

Zhang Si and his wife listened to the three of them discussing there with a dazed expression. Why, is it so easy to open a shop in the county now?

In fact, with money and technology in hand, it is very simple.

In the next two months, Zhang Si's family has been eating dim sum made by Zhang Dazhuang. Although the taste is getting better and better, they can't resist eating it all the time. Now the couple feel sick when they see dim sum.

And Boss Xiao and his wife didn't go to Zhang's house very often, they were afraid that they would be caught by Zhang Dazhuang to try the cakes as soon as they entered.

Mo Cai has been running back and forth between the county town and the village in the past two months, buying shops, decorating shops, and making tools for making snacks. Even with the help of Second Brother Chen, Mo Cai still lost a lot of weight after these two months of busy work.

After discussing with Mrs. Xiao and his wife, they put the remaining 20 taels of the family into the dim sum shop. Zhang Dazhuang's family had no money, but Zhang Dazhuang learned a good craft.

The night before Zhang Dazhuang's family was going to the county seat, the three families had dinner at Zhang's house.

Except for Xiao Shuang who didn't come back, everyone was there.

Mrs. Xiao's belly was getting bigger, so Xiao Le carefully helped her into the door.

The Zhang family's threshold is a bit high.

Boss Xiao is helping to move tables, chairs and benches.

Mo Cheng was also helping to serve the dishes, and it was Mo Cai and Mrs. Zhang Si who were cooking.

"I heard that your older brothers came to see you yesterday?"

Boss Xiao went to drink yesterday and just came back this morning, so he heard about it from Xiao Le.

"Come on," Zhang Si sneered, "Take me as a fool, don't bother to pay attention, come on, let's go."

He raised the wine bowl, Mo Cheng is now in good health, he can eat and drink, and his force value has gradually recovered, only Xiao Le and Mrs. Xiao can't drink at the table.

One is weak and the other is pregnant.

Xiao Le also didn't let Mo Cheng make tea for himself in a teacup, he asked for a big bowl, held up the steaming tea, and touched everyone.

During the period, he even wanted to touch Mo Cheng harder, so that some of the wine in the other's wine bowl could "float" into his bowl.

Mo Cheng saw through this trick at a glance.

He drank Xiao Le's bowl of tea straight away and filled him with new tea.

With a bitter face, Xiao Le buried his head in cooking.

Seeing that Xiao Le was under the tight control of Mo Cheng, Boss Xiao clicked his tongue and said to Zhang Si, "After you go to the county seat, I will look after the house for you. The patriarch Xiao's puppies can be hugged. I will hug two of them." Come here, keep one in your yard and one in mine."

"That's a good thing, I'm really afraid that those shameless people will climb over the wall and enter the house in the middle of the night to search for things."

Zhang Si hated those brothers very much.

Hearing this, Mo Cai hurriedly said, "We want one too!"

"Then hold three dogs." Boss Xiao thought that there are always people at home in Mo's house, so it doesn't matter whether there is a dog or not, but Mo just said so, so let's hold another one.

Zhang Dazhuang blushed and toasted the Xiao couple and Mo Cheng, "Please, please uncle, uncle, aunt, son and adoptive father, help take care of Cuihong and the others."

"Need you to say?"

Mo Cai gritted his teeth and touched the wine bowl with him, "Don't worry, I promise you to come back, Cui Hong and the others are all fat and white."

Zhang Dazhuang let out a silly laugh.

After eating, Zhang Dazhuang disappeared. The rest of the people tidied up the yard, and distributed the extra food to Boss Xiao and Mo Cheng. The next morning, Mo made breakfast at home. After the Zhang family came over to eat , got into the carriage and left the village.

On the carriage, Mrs. Zhang put down the curtain, and said to Zhang Si with great emotion, "It is all thanks to Xiao Le and Mo Cheng that we can have today."

"Yeah," Zhang Si nodded, "you have to remember this."

And Zhang Dazhuang was talking to Mo Cai in front of the car, a 14-year-old boy with a dark complexion and bright eyes, full of longing for the county.

After Zhang Si and his family left, Boss Xiao tied up the dog that was still barking like a baby in the side room of their house.

A few nights ago, Boss Xiao was not at ease, and would go there in the middle of the night to have a look.

But what Xiao Le and Mo Cheng got was a white dog.

He is cute and chubby, and was teased by Mo Cai with the small bone, rubbing against his shoes so much that they almost fluffed, so Mo Cai gave the small bone to him.

"What's a good name?"

Xiao Le propped his chin in thought.

It has been several days, and the name has not yet been determined.

"Call it Mantou."

Mo Caidao.

Mo Cheng looked at Xiao Le, "Call me Lele."

"roll!"

Xiao Le kicked him, "Forget it, it's called steamed buns. Steamed buns are also white. Ours is white flour steamed buns! Steamed buns! Steamed buns!"

Mo Cheng was amused by his tone, and brought him back, "Take your time, it's still young."

There is only food in his eyes.

Mo Cai stroked the dog's hair, his face was full of happiness, "The dog of the elder sister-in-law's family is black, and the dog of the fourth sister-in-law's family is black and white. These three brothers are tall and pretty."

"Our house is the prettiest," Xiao Le said proudly, "I'll choose the elder brother when he brings it back. I'll choose the prettiest one. The ugliest one is the one from the fourth brother's house."

Whoever told him not to be at home, the one who looked a little better was left by Boss Xiao.

"The Eighteen Changes of a Dog," Mo Cai chuckled, "What if our steamed buns grow up to be the ugliest?"

"Ah, ah, don't you say such things! Our steamed buns are the best!"

Xiao Le hurriedly covered the puppy's ears, concentrating on drying the buns without struggling at all.

It can be seen that he is a foodie at a young age.

Zhang Si's family left, and it really felt deserted for a while. When Xiao Le and Mo Cheng were strolling around, they even went to Zhang Si's house to see the little flower dog. They named it Xiao Hua.

Xiaohua is a very vicious little dog, except for Boss Xiao and Mrs. Xiao who bring him meals, everyone else will bark ferociously in his milky voice when approached.

Going to see Mr. Xiao's black bumps again, he is very lazy, he eats and sleeps all day long, and he doesn't moan much.

It doesn't look like a dog, it looks like a cat.

"How did the big brother come up with this name?"

Black bumps, why not called golden bumps?

Boss Xiao snorted when he heard the words, "That sounds better than your white flour steamed buns."

"Sister-in-law! Big brother hates my steamed buns!"

The little complainant immediately complained.

Aunt Xiao came out with her belly outstretched, and gave Boss Xiao a slap, "What are you talking about!"

Xiao Le expressed his satisfaction.

"Come back and stay for a few days, and get close to our family's black lump."

Boss Xiao glanced at Mo Cheng, and said to Xiao Le.

"I can't bear to part with the steamed buns at home."

Xiao Le was talking nonsense with red ears.

"I can't bear the steamed buns, or I can't bear some people? You're such an adult, why don't you want to bear it?"

Boss Xiao was dissatisfied.

Mo Cheng smiled very dignifiedly at the side, and did not say until he left, "Brother, have you noticed that you have been talking a lot recently? I remember that Mo just mentioned a disease, just like you, talkative, irritable, and Didn't sleep well."

After the people left, Boss Xiao looked at Aunt Xiao, "Do I have these symptoms?"

"It's true," Mrs. Xiao yelled, "Go and find Mo to take a look!" Boss Xiao went, and when he came back, he was very angry, "That kid is cheating on me!"

Day by day, Xiao Le would occasionally take a carriage with Mo Cheng to the county town to see Shuang'er, Da Zhuang and the others.

For the rest of the time, I still spend more time at Mo's house.

The Mo family had a lot of fields, and when the crops were being harvested, Mo asked Patriarch Xiao to select some young people to come out to help the Mo family, and the wages were also paid.

Uncle Wang insisted on coming to help without asking for a penny. Cui Hong and Mrs. Xiao Xiao helped cook, and Xiao Le helped.

In the past few months, Mrs. Xiao taught Cuihong embroidery, and the relationship between the two became more and more intimate, and Xiao Le couldn't get in the way.

Mo Cheng was writing the second book in the wing room, and he didn't let Xiao Le read what the story was, which made Xiao Le scratch his heart and lungs just to read it.

Even colluded with Mo Cai again, but Mo Cheng saw through and both of them were punished.

After the autumn harvest, the days became idle again. Xiao Le lay on the beauty's couch and turned his head to look at Mo Cheng who was practicing big characters. "You are like an old man, enjoying the happiness of retreating to the mountains."

"Although you are younger, the purpose you said is indeed the same." Mo Cheng put down his pen, came to Xiao Le's side, raised his chin with his slender hand, "You are wrong today."

"No way."

Xiao Le clapped his hands away.

Mo Cheng smiled and sat down, rubbing his neck, Xiao Le's whole body was numb, and he had no strength at all.

"I've only been ill for a while, how dare I touch you," Mo Cheng said in a low voice, "If you really want to, you should take good care of your body, otherwise, we'll just be rubbing each other for the rest of our lives."

Xiao Le's face was flushed, and he said with a stiff neck, "I told you that I'll be fine no matter how hard I try, why don't you believe me!"

Mo Cheng pinched his neck again, and after the person softened, he said, "I'm not a lustful person, but I can't be teased by you like this. If you don't obey me again, I'll go to my elder brother and let him deal with you."

"...then you will rub it all your life!"

Xiao Le gritted his teeth, there was no trace of tenderness in the past.

The next day Xiao Le ran home to live.

Boss Xiao was not very happy to see him come back, "Did he bully you?"

"I really want to," Xiao Le pursed his lips, "He just doesn't dare to bully me."

Boss Xiao didn't understand it at the time, but when he was working, he suddenly realized it. He ran back with a hoe on his shoulders and told Xiao Le for half an hour not to have the idea of ​​being bullied, which made Xiao Le drag his small burden back home. Arrived at Mo's house.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Mo Cheng smiled and looked at Xiao Le who was walking towards him like a turtle, "If you don't hurry up, the ramen made by Mo Cai will be cold."

According to Xiao Le's idea, Mo Cai made ramen, which the three of them loved to eat in the past two days, every time.

"Then for the ramen's sake, I'll come back quickly." Xiao Le quickened his pace, and when he walked up to Mo Cheng, he threw the burden to him with a fierce face, "Put it back!"

"Good sir."

This is already the fifth time Xiao Le has returned to his "mother"'s house this year because of the incident between the two of them.

Mo Cheng is used to him in everything else, but he won't budge on this matter.

Let Xiao Le love and hate.

When eating ramen, Xiao Le mistook the noodles for Mo Cheng and ate them with a ferocious expression.

Mo Cai suppressed a smile, and pushed the mixed vegetables in front of Xiao Le, "Mix this to eat, it's refreshing and relieves the taste."

Xiao Le nodded indiscriminately.

After dinner, the two got back together again.

When Patriarch Xiao and Xiao Yun came to look for Mo Cheng, Xiao Le was secretly taking off Mo Cheng's pants. Mo Cheng was awakened by the sound of the courtyard door, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Le who was in a panic, pulling his pants with his paws.

"...Do you want to be beaten?"

Mo Cheng sat up with some headache and hugged Xiao Le.

Xiao Le was a little embarrassed, "Then what, you don't wear your pants well, really, why would someone fall asleep and their pants fall down! If I didn't kindly lift up your pants, you would have disappeared!"

Well a preemptive strike.

Mo Cheng laughed angrily at him, and Mo Cai also opened the courtyard door at this time, and knocked on the door of the wing room, saying that Patriarch Xiao and the two had come.

"I'll clean you up later."

Mo Cheng pinched Xiao Le's nose.

After the two packed up, they came to the main room like dogs.

Mantou is biting Xiao Yun's trousers ferociously. It has grown up a lot and is also a lot uglier. As Mo Cai said, among the three dogs, their Mantou is the ugliest.

This is Xiao Le's eternal pain.

"Yo, Mantou likes you very much."

Patriarch Xiao said to Xiao Yun with a smile.

Xiao Yun naturally knew that this dog was born by their big dog. He reluctantly wanted to reach out to touch the mantou, but Mantou suddenly yelled, then fell to the ground and moved a few times, then stopped moving.

"What, what's the matter?"

Xiao Yun was taken aback.

Xiao Le squatted down and flicked the dog's head of the steamed bun with his fingers.

The next moment, Mantou, who looked like a dead dog, jumped up and down.

Facing the strange eyes of his grandfather and grandson, Mo Cheng said calmly, "This is a little game that Mantou likes."

Mo Cai came over with tea, and when Patriarch Xiao and the others looked at Mantou, he also smiled and said, "Mantou is so smart, Xiao Le and I taught it to fake death, and it will do it twice."

Seeing Mantou being coaxed out by Xiao Le, Xiao Yun regained his composure. This was the first time he had heard that someone taught a dog to fake his death.

"It's interesting."

Mo Cheng smiled when he heard this.

In fact, the two came to look for him this time, because Mo Cheng had mentioned before about setting up a school in the village. After Xiao Yun came back, Patriarch Xiao brought him here.

"The school is built next to the Xiao family's ancestral hall. There are few children in our village, so a big house is enough."

Mo Cheng said.

Xiao Yun and Patriarch Xiao nodded repeatedly.

"Our Xiao clan will go all out," Patriarch Xiao said.

"Other people in the village are willing to help, and we will not refuse," Xiao Yun sees clearly. The biggest purpose of their school building is to allow talented children in the clan to study not far from home. The house is built free of charge, and other people in the village, if they are willing to come, can come.

Those who don't want to come, and there are quite a few of them from the Xiao family.

"It's Master..."

Patriarch Xiao looked at Mo Cheng with a smile, "I wonder if Mo Sanlang would be willing..."

"Of course I would," Mo Cheng nodded, then pointed to Xiao Le who was playing with the mantou in the yard, "I still have a little helper."

"That would be great, but you should also take a good rest. Your body is the most important thing."

These words made Mo Cheng smile more sincerely, "Thank you, Patriarch, for your concern."

So the news that Xiao's family wanted to build a school spread in the village, and it was also spread that the master was Mo Cheng.

"How much do you earn in a year?"

"I don't know yet, but my kid is very naughty and stupid. Anyway, I won't build a house."

"I'm not going either, my family is full of daughters."

"I want to go, but my kid is very stupid, forget it, I won't go."

Except for the people from the Xiao family, a small number of them went to help.

Within half a month, the house was built.

On the same day, Patriarch Xiao invited the helpers to eat outside the Xiao's ancestral hall, and the village chief's expression was not very good.

"It's just because I'm a big surname in the village! Is the school built for the people in the village? It's clearly for their Xiao family!"
