Dressed as the uncle of farming culture

"I don't know? You went out for a walk after lunch today. Where did you go?"

Before Xiao Aimin could ask Liu Yanyan, his old mother pulled him away, pointed at Liu Yanyan's nose and asked loudly.

"I……"

"Where did you go? Don't fool me with words!"

Aunt Xiao kept questioning her. Liu Yanyan was already flustered, and she was in so much pain and being questioned again and again. She burst into tears, and she didn't cry softly for a long time.

At this time, like a child who was caught doing something bad, he cried until his nose came out.

This made the whole family cry. You must know that they often saw this person cry, but they had never seen this kind of crying. Xiao Aimin stepped forward and pulled him into the house.

When Aunt Xiao was about to scold her, she was stopped by Uncle Xiao, "This is a shame, if she wants to live her life sincerely, we will keep an eye on her in the future. If she... Aimin won't let her mess around .”

"It's very troublesome! Once Aimin married her, the children in the family were not on the same page!"

Uncle Xiao and the others have four children in total, two sons and two girls. The youngest of the two girls got married last year. The youngest son is not married, but when he learned that Xiao Aimin was going to marry his former cousin, the youngest son followed suit. A few courageous people in the village went to the provincial capital to find work. In the past two years, they only came back to live for two days during the Chinese New Year.

The more Aunt Xiao thought about it, the more upset she felt, and Xiao Aimin in the room looked straight at Liu Yanyan who was still sobbing.

"To be honest, where did you go after eating?"

Liu Yanyan wiped her red and swollen eyes, "During lunch, my mother scolded me a few times, and after you left, she disliked me even more. Standing by the side for a while, the second aunt just opened the courtyard door and threw something, saw me from afar, and her face was not good... Then I came back, and then took a hoe to find you."

"Brother Aimin, I really didn't stir up trouble. Our relationship with their family is...how could I be so stupid? I just want to live a good life with you."

Liu Yanyan hugged Xiao Aimin's waist, her voice was full of attachment and love for Xiao Aimin.

Xiao Aimin pursed his lips and hugged him.

"Why don't we go out and look for work just like the younger brother?"

After a while, Liu Yanyan mentioned.

According to the timeline, Xiao Aimin will go out this year.

"We're leaving, what about parents?"

Xiao Aimin rubbed her head, "Besides, after having you, I feel very satisfied in my life."

Liu Yanyan was very satisfied when she heard it, but after all, thinking about the future rich life, she thought to herself that she still had to find an opportunity to let Xiao Aimin go out.

After being beaten, Xiao Le ate meat at night.

The last piece of bacon at home, it's hot today, if you don't eat it, it will go bad.

Mama Xiao cooked the long beans and pumpkin in the bacon soup without adding salt, and the taste went well with rice.

Just these two dishes, the three of them ate with gusto.

"Is the food delivered on brother's wedding day?"

While eating, Xiao Le was looking for something to say.

Xiao's mother glanced at the corners of his eyes that were still red, and replied angrily and amusedly, "It's hot today, so I dare not do too much, I'm going to attend quickly, and I have a little vegetarian dish left over, I'll give it to your uncle and three Uncle."

"Come on, eat more."

Feeling sorry for his youngest son who had just been beaten, Dad Xiao gave him a piece of fat bacon.

"Mom, eat," Xiao Le directly picked up a piece of lean meat from the bacon, "I like to eat lean."

"No one likes to eat skinny ones, they are not fat at all, and they can't support their bodies," Xiao's mother said sweetly, but she still wanted to give the meat to Xiao Le. Xiao Le moved his bowl to the side, resolutely not .

After eating, Xiao Le took the initiative to clean up the dishes. Xiao's mother wanted him to do more work, so she didn't help.

There is no electricity in the village, and the oil lamps are used more. Xiao's mother is used to being frugal. As long as the sky is not completely dark, she will not use them. She can save a little bit.

It was very hot, and a family of three sat in the yard, each holding a big cattail leaf fan woven by Xiao's father out of bamboo slices, and they were talking while fanning the wind and mosquitoes.

Mainly to ask Xiao Le what he did in the county, how his brother and sister-in-law got along, and so on.

"Mom, when my sister-in-law comes back, tell her about the one named Cuihua in Tongzilou," Xiao Le said with a displeased face, "It's fine to listen to someone in the corner, and look at brother with that wolf-like eyes. Be safe."

"Are you talking about the tall and thin girl who always likes to toss two big braids?"

Mama Xiao immediately remembered.

"Yes, you know?"

"Why don't I know?" Mama Xiao patted her ankles with the big fan in her hand, and scratched after driving away the mosquitoes. "Speaking of which, that girl is also a poor person. She was engaged three times. She didn’t get married once, and I talked to her mother several times, and her mother begged me to ask if there was any suitable one in our village, and she didn’t expect her to marry a worker.”

Xiao's mother often went to deliver food to Xiao Weiguo, so she was familiar with the people in Tongzilou.

"I just hope she can get married and have a family of her own, but this girl has high eyesight. The people in Tongzilou have introduced her a lot, but she doesn't even like it."

I don't want to see my son now.

"Your brother is married, no way."

Xiao's father usually only listens at this time and rarely talks, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but interjected, "I still remind Xiuying that our son left once, maybe that Cuihua still misses our son?" It's far from the second time."

"What do you say!"

The cattail fan in Xiao's mother's hand directly gave Xiao's father a slap on the head, and Xiao Le clicked his tongue, which sounded like pain.

"Did you say that about your son? There are quite a few people in the village saying that our family defends the country behind our backs," Xiao's mother felt uncomfortable thinking about it, and she was about to think about Xiao Le's listening to Liu Yanyan's words. Xiao Le He quickly yawned, "I'm so tired, I fell asleep."

After he cleaned up the dishes, he took a cold shower and finished washing up. After entering the room, he fell asleep not long after.

"It's very annoying."

Xiao's mother was still complaining to Xiao's father in the yard, "If we had been tougher back then, we would have called the police to find out, maybe our son would not have gotten married or divorced."

The name of a second marriage was put on them, so many family members laughed at them behind their backs, and even the eldest daughter was questioned several times at her husband's house.

"She wanted to die at the time, so she insisted that our son bullied her. Even if it was a call to the police, I think she would not let go for the sake of reputation." Xiao's father took out the dry cigarette, drew a match and lit it, and took a big puff.

Xiao's mother sat down on the small stool Xiao Le was sitting on just now with disgust, "I said I want fame, but it's for the sake of divorce, so I said everything. She and Aimin were also very fast. If you say she didn't have any thoughts before, I'm I don't believe it."

When Dad Xiao heard this now, he also felt stunned.

After the two were relatively silent for a while, Mother Xiao got up and closed the courtyard door, "Go to sleep."

"Eh."

Only Xiao Le slept the best that night, neither Mama Xiao nor Uncle Xiao's family slept well.

Liu Yanyan stayed silent for a few days and didn't dare to go to Xiao Le, but she was very confident, and it was best to master the heart of a teenager. Once feelings were born, it would not change for several years, so even if she didn't go to Xiao Le, Liu Yanyan was not worried. The other party has no feeling for himself.

Maybe Xiao Le would secretly look for him if she didn't come to him.

As a result, on the afternoon of the third day, Xiao Le really found him.

"Auntie, I'm here to borrow a wooden ladder. Our wooden ladder was borrowed by Uncle Wu to repair the roof, but I haven't brought it back yet," Xiao Le walked into Uncle Xiao's house and said to Uncle Xiao who was chopping pigweed.

Both Xiao Aimin and Liu Yanyan were at home. Hearing Xiao Le's voice, Xiao Aimin came out of the main room first, "Xiao Le, does your butt still hurt?"

When Liu Yanyan heard this, she dared not go out.

"Brother Aimin, which pot are you not mentioning?" Xiao Le pursed his mouth and complained to Aunt Xiao, "Brother Aimin was watching me being beaten at the door that day, and he was still laughing."

Aunt Xiao immediately glared at Xiao Aimin, then smiled at Xiao Le and said, "Don't pay attention to him, what are you doing with the wooden ladder?"

"The teacher leaked rain during our main room. No, my mother is afraid that it will rain heavily tonight, so she asked me to repair the roof as well."

Xiao Le walked out carrying the wooden ladder.

"Slow down!"

Aunt Xiao exhorted.

"Eh."

Xiao Le really just came to borrow the wooden ladder, not to mention looking at the main room, even Xiao Aimin didn't pay much attention.

Xiao Aimin kept staring at him, and felt relieved seeing this, but was beaten several times by his old mother with a broom, "Put away your dirty thoughts! Xiao Le is still a baby!"

"...I didn't mean that."

"Bah! Just protect that troublemaker, you will cry later!"

Aunt Xiao took the broom, she didn't even chop up the pigs and weeds, and let Xiao Aimin do it.

Then he rushed into the main room and started sweeping the floor. The movements were so loud that Liu Yanyan didn't dare to rest, she also went to sweep the yard.

An hour later, Xiao Le came to return the wooden ladder, Liu Yanyan happened to be tending the long beans at the door of the main room, Xiao Aimin went out, and Aunt Xiao was also sweeping the chicken coop in the back room.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Xiao Le is still quite polite.

Liu Yanyan pursed her lips when she heard this address, and she whispered, "You used to call me Sister Yanyan."

"That's not a good name, I've learned the gift," Xiao Le said solemnly, and was about to leave after putting down the wooden ladder.

He didn't look like he wanted to talk to Liu Yanyan at all.

Seeing this, Liu Yanyan couldn't help but call out to him, "Xiuying...how is she treating you?"

Xiao Le caught a glimpse of the corner of the clothes at the corner from the back room, and said loudly, "My sister-in-law is naturally kind to me, why are you asking this?"

"...It's nothing, am I afraid that she will bully you because of her strong temper?"

When Liu Yanyan heard him talking about my sister-in-law, she immediately felt uncomfortable, so she said this.

Xiao Le looked puzzled, "My sister-in-law is very good-natured, why is she so strong? Besides, why would she bully me? Tang sister-in-law, you are so strange, I'm leaving."

"you……"

Liu Yanyan was so angry that she threw the long beans in her hand into the dustpan, but when she looked sideways, she met Aunt Xiao's gloomy face.

She trembled with fear.

Just at this time, Xiao Le's voice greeted Xiao Aimin came from outside the courtyard. As soon as Xiao Aimin entered the courtyard, he saw that his old lady and his daughter-in-law had different expressions.

"Aimin, your daughter-in-law is really provocative. This time I heard her say that Wei Guo's daughter-in-law is strong-tempered, and she was afraid that she would bully Xiao Le. When Xiao Le refuted her, she was still very angry. Look, this is not a worm. She threw the long beans in the dustpan."

Aunt Xiao took a deep breath, pointed at Liu Yanyan, who was pale, "What else do you have to say this time? Are you going to say that I am deaf?"

"...I just care about him, he is also my brother."

Liu Yanyan saw that Xiao Aimin's face did not look good because of what she said, and she panicked for a while. Before she was ready to cry, Xiao Aimin carried the firewood to the firewood room. She didn't talk to her all night. Went to sleep in the room of my sisters before, but didn't go back to the room.

The couple here are fighting coldly, but Xiao Weiguo and Jiang Xiuying in Tongzilou are very affectionate.

"It's only summer, why do you want to make a sweater for me?"

Xiao Weiguo asked with a smile while eating melon seeds for Jiang Xiuying.

"Mom said, from now on, I will make your close-fitting clothes for me," Jiang Xiuying was very beautiful in her heart, "You are my man, so I have to think about you? And after I finish making you, I still want my mother to make one." Woolen cloth."

Xiao Weiguo felt warm in his heart, "Then you can stay for a few more days and stay with me."

"I've been living here for several days," Jiang Xiuying blushed, "The family is very busy, and my parents are getting older, how can I just be with you... so what is it?"

"What? Tell me clearly."

"Bah, shameless."

Xiao Le and Dad Xiao, who came back from the field for dinner at noon the next day, saw Jiang Xiuying serving the food with Mom Xiao.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you spend more time with brother?"

Xiao Le washed his face and hands with water, and asked with a smile.

Jiang Xiuying showed a bright smile, "There is plenty of time, by the way, I brought you a pair of rubber shoes, you can try."

"Thank you sister-in-law!"

Xiao Le cheered, and when he entered the main room, he saw several pairs of rubber shoes on the small cabinet. He was still young, and his size was smaller than that of Xiao's father, so he found them right away.

"Try after eating."

Seeing that he couldn't wait to wash his feet and prepare to try on new shoes, Mother Xiao scolded.

"Leave him alone," Xiao's father would have given it a try if he hadn't grown up so much, "Xiuying, let your mother go back with you this afternoon to see your in-laws and the others. , but they must be thinking about you."

"Mom said that just now, so go back and have a look," Jiang Xiuying nodded repeatedly.

Xiao Le wore new shoes for dinner. After eating, he carefully took off the shoes and put them back in the house.

And Xiao's mother also cleaned up, and took Jiang Xiuying back to her natal home.

Jiang Xiuying's family is in the next-door village, and it takes less than half an hour to walk. The two villages are very close to each other, and they belong to a brigade.

After the fields were divided, each had its own village.

The sun was a little bright, and Xiao Le and Dad Xiao were dozing off in the main room. Uncle Xiao came to the door at this time, and he brought a jug of wine.

"Cough cough."

He coughed heavily, and Dad Xiao woke up suddenly, "Brother? Ouch, you scared me, come in and sit down."

Xiao Le also woke up, "Uncle."

He yawned and went to the kitchen to pour a large bowl of cool white water, but Uncle Xiao said, "I'll have a drink with your dad, bring the bowl."

So Xiao Le drank the big bowl of water, and brought them two small bowls to drink again.

"What's the matter?"

Seeing that Uncle Xiao's face was not good-looking, Dad Xiao asked while peeling the peanuts that Xiao Le took out from Mom Xiao's cabinet.

This peanut is a must for drinking.

"What can I do?" Uncle Xiao put down the wine bowl with a snap, "Because of her, we haven't been able to have New Year's Eve dinner together in the past two years. Even the third child and the others are unwilling to eat at home."

Uncle Xiao was very angry.

Xiao Le leaned over curiously, "Uncle, who are you talking about?"

Uncle Xiao: ...

"Xiao Le, go to your third uncle's house and call your third uncle over for a drink."

After Xiao's father pushed him away, he picked up the wine bowl and touched Uncle Xiao, "I advised you at the beginning, even if you love the people, you should not respond to this matter, now you know it's hard, don't you?"

"Who does Aimin look like? Like our dad! He's just a stubborn bull! Can your sister-in-law and I hold him?"

But Uncle Xiao wanted to break Xiao Aimin's leg this time, and he didn't want Liu Yanyan to marry him.

Uncle Xiao is tall and thin, he is a very uncaring uncle, and Aunt Xiao is a gentle woman. They have only one daughter, but they live happily.

As soon as he heard that the eldest and second brothers were drinking together, Third Uncle Xiao immediately followed Xiao Le.

When Third Uncle Xiao came, the three brothers drank endlessly. Xiao Le went down to the ground with a hoe on his shoulders. When he returned home in the evening, Third Uncle Xiao had already left. At that time, he was already sleeping soundly on the bamboo chair, and the table and the floor were cleaned up. It seemed that Aunt Xiao had come to clean up.

At this moment, Uncle Xiao is desperately refusing to go home, "I will live with the second child, I, I will live here!"

Aunt Xiao couldn't laugh or cry, "You don't have a home?"

Uncle Xiao whimpered, "Aimin, that little bastard..."

Xiao Aimin heard this as soon as he entered the yard.

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he smiled at Xiao Le's confused face, "My dad loves to talk nonsense when he drinks too much."

"Why, how did I give birth to a beast!"

Uncle Xiao pointed at Xiao Aimin and cursed.

Xiao Le and Uncle Xiao: ...

In the end, Xiao Aimin carried Uncle Xiao home, and Aunt Xiao asked Xiao Le to go to their house for dinner, but Xiao Le refused, "My dad drinks like this, I have to watch him."

This drunken person is indeed prone to accidents, so Aunt Xiao didn't say much, and followed Xiao Aimin and the others back home.

Just when Xiao Le was about to help Dad Xiao back to sleep in the room, Dad Xiao opened his eyes, "Going away?"

"...Are you not drunk?"

"It's just a bottle of wine, the three of us drink it, how can we get drunk? Your uncle is also pretending to be crazy with wine," Xiao's father smiled, and drank the water Xiao Le handed over, "Look at the sky, your mother I'm afraid they won't come back, so let's eat whatever we want."

"it is good."

Mama Xiao and the others did not come back. When they came back the next morning, they went to the fields to do some work.

Jiang Xiuying was better at work than Xiao Le, and Xiao Le was not convinced, so he insisted on competing with her. As a result, when work was about to end, Xiao Le dug up a silver bracelet.

He was startled, and quickly pulled it out from the soil, then stuffed it into his pocket, and dug down again, and got a silver hairpin, both old models, not very pretty, but quite heavy.

After finishing his work, he walked up behind Papa Xiao and Jiang Xiuying in a sneaky manner, "I got rich."

"Get rich for what?"

Papa Xiao asked casually.

Xiao Le stopped talking, Jiang Xiuying looked back at him, Xiao Le smiled, patted his pocket, "Go home and close the yard to watch."

"What good stuff?"

Jiang Xiuying was hooked out of curiosity.

Xiao Le just didn't say anything, and when he got home, Xiao Le, who was at the end, closed the courtyard door, went to the water tank to scoop up two ladles of water into the sink, and waved to Papa Xiao and Jiang Xiuying.

The two walked over.

Xiao Le took out those two things from his pocket and threw them directly into the water, "Look!"

Father Xiao's eyes are really good. His eyes lit up, he squatted down and washed the two things, picked them up, and rushed to the kitchen to ask Mother Xiao to come out.

The voice was loud and urgent.

Xiao's mother was startled, and when she came out to take a look, Xiao's father shook the things in his hand, "Good guy! Where did you come from?"

Jiang Xiuying was also very surprised, she immediately said, "Xiao Le dug it!"

"Where did you dig it? Over the banana tree?"

Today they are working over the banana tree.

"Yeah," Xiao Le put his hips on his hips proudly, "I thought it was a snake, but it turned out to be hairpins and bracelets, which looked like old silver. I was afraid that others would see it, so I immediately stuffed it in my pocket."

The family entered the main room and put things on the table to read.

"This thing is an old model. I remember seeing such a bracelet on my grandma's wrist when I was a child, but it is much thinner than this one." Dad Xiao touched the thick silver bracelet.

Look at the silver hairpin again, although it is bulky, the bulkier it is, the better!

"We are so lucky," Jiang Xiuying lowered her voice, "Yesterday, my mother and I heard from my sister-in-law that someone dug up a silver ring in her natal village."

"How big is the silver ring?" Xiao Le dismissively said, "How old am I?"

"Yes, yes, our Xiao Le is really capable," Xiao's mother praised without hesitation, "We have been digging that land for several years, and this is the first time we have produced something."

"Yeah, I'll dig again tomorrow," Dad Xiao also wanted to dig something good.

"What are you going to do with it?"

After the joy, Mother Xiao asked Xiao Le.

Xiao Le scratched his head, "I don't have anything to want now, you and sister-in-law should break up."

Jiang Xiuying was startled, "How can I want it? You dug it up. It's okay to be filial to your parents, but I can't."

"Why not?" Xiao Le pouted, "Maybe I can dig more in the future."

"Do you think these things are piled up in the ground?"

Mama Xiao scolded with a smile.

Xiao Le directly gave the bracelet to Mama Xiao, and the hairpin to Jiang Xiuying, "I haven't done much in these years, so take it as a gift from me to you."

"What did you say, and a meeting ceremony, how many years have you seen your mother? Is there such a thing?"

Papa Xiao followed suit.

In the end, Xiao Le wanted to give it to them. Mother Xiao kept it when she thought about it. She kept it for Xiao Le for the time being, and then gave it to him later. , anyway, he hasn't lost his brother's stuff these years."

During dinner at night, the whole family was very happy. Mother Xiao told them not to tell others, and Xiao Le also said that he had to dig the ground well, maybe he could still get it.

"Then my eyes will be brighter in the future," Jiang Xiuying nodded repeatedly.

So they started to work, not to mention how energetic they were, but unfortunately they didn't dig anything later.

Xiao Le didn't believe in evil. When he dug something that day, he thought about the money he had drawn, so when he dug the ground that day, he kept thinking about the money in his mind, and the next moment he dug out a small jar.
