Dressed as the uncle of farming culture

Looking at Xiao Le like this, Mo Cheng moved his fingers slightly, and finally said with a disgusted expression, "You are such a big man, peel and eat by yourself."

"Yeah, I will be able to marry a wife in two years!"

Liu San echoed, wiping away tears from laughter.

"In our generation, we can already get married," Liu San's father happily ate a peanut, smiled and looked at Xiao Le who was slowly peeling the peanut with his head down after listening to Mo Cheng's words.

Xiao Le's movements were slow, and he didn't eat anything later, so he just sat there in a daze, and Mo Cheng didn't tease him anymore.

Seeing that it was almost early morning, and Xiao Le hadn't come back yet, Dad Xiao was worried, so he looked for him. Just at this moment, Xiao Aimin and the others were going to go home.

Seeing Xiao Le walking staggeringly, Liu San said that he should let Xiao Le sleep in their house and squeeze with Liu Xiaodi.

After Xiao's father came, he took Xiao Le home.

"How much did you drink? Isn't there only two bottles of wine?"

Xiao Le washed his face slowly, "Liu San's father brought out another pot of liquor."

"Oh, that's a lot of blood," Dad Xiao smiled, staring at Xiao Le and entering the room after washing up, before returning to the room to rest.

Xiao's mother yawned and asked, "Drunk?"

"It's okay," Papa Xiao also yawned, and then lay down.

When Xiao Le woke up the next day, he had a headache and stayed at home all day without going anywhere.

After Xiao's mother came back from the vegetable field, she said to Xiao Le who was lying on the bamboo chair, "Don't look for your brother Aimin for now."

Xiao Le was stunned for a moment, looked over and saw that her face was not very good-looking, so he knew that Liu Yanyan had returned, "Hey."

Liu Yanyan was in the room with red eyes at this time, telling Xiao Aimin her thoughts and grievances.

"You don't even come to see me."

"...these two days are busy."

Xiao Aimin talked about the little boar and wild boar.

Liu Yanyan was a little happy, and wanted to help cook at noon, but found that there was no meat to eat. She held back and held back, and when she still had no dinner, she hinted at it while lying on the bed.

Xiao Aimin felt more and more that she was not like the person he liked, "...I made it into oily meat, and I will eat it during the autumn harvest."

Harvesting in autumn is a tiring job, and eating some meat can give you more energy.

Liu Yanyan bit her lip, and asked Xiao Le what to do with the meat. Xiao Aimin became impatient, "If you want to know so much, you can ask Second Aunt tomorrow."

"..."

Liu Yanyan shut her mouth and stopped talking.

The two fell asleep with their backs to each other, and they were not as close as before.

Xiao Le didn't go to find Xiao Aimin, but Xiao Aimin who endured for two days came to find Xiao Le.

"Will you chop wood?"

Xiao Le nodded, carrying a basket on his back, and followed him to the back of the mountain. At the fork in the road, he met Mo Cheng and Liu San, who were also carrying a basket.

"Brother Cheng."

Xiao Le screamed with sparkling eyes.

"Hey, what about me?"

Liu San signaled Xiao Le to pay attention to himself.

"Liu Sange, are you going hunting?"

Xiao Le cried out reluctantly.

"Chop firewood," Liu San was satisfied, and said to Xiao Aimin and the others, "Chop some more firewood before the autumn harvest and go home, otherwise I will be busy again after autumn and won't be free."

"We thought so too."

Xiao Aimin nodded, the two walked in front, Xiao Le was second to last, and Mo Cheng was last.

When he was about to reach the back mountain, Mo Cheng picked up a dog's tail grass and dangled it. Seeing this, Xiao Le also got one and dangled it in his mouth, as if imitating himself to worship his brother.

Thinking of this, Mo Cheng was in a very good mood. When he passed the bamboo forest, he lost the dogtail grass and picked a bamboo leaf.

Seeing this, Xiao Le also threw away the dog's tail grass, picked a bamboo leaf and held it in his hand, looking back from time to time.

When Mo Cheng blew the bamboo leaves and the forest was filled with the sound of blowing bamboo, everyone in front looked over.

Xiao Le hurriedly imitated him, put the bamboo leaf to his lips, and blew hard, "Puff puff!"

Liu San laughed loudly, pointed at Xiao Le and laughed unceremoniously, "What are you blowing? Is it a fart sound hahahaha!"

"I'll try too."

Xiao Aimin became interested, but the result was similar to Xiao Le. Liu San also tried it under Xiao Le's unconvinced eyes, and after finding that he was not the same as Xiao Le, he began to praise Mo Cheng.

"Look at how good my brother is at playing, but your brother can't."

Xiao Aimin's face darkened, "Who can't do it? I can do it very well!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, what kind of yellow accent is it? I'm talking about that, isn't it okay?"

"No one can say no!"

This is a man's face project and must be maintained.

Xiao Aimin and Liu San were bickering in front, and Mo Cheng asked Xiao Le to pick bamboo leaves again, and after showing him a demonstration, Xiao Le could finally play a little tune.

When they go down the mountain with firewood on their backs and pass through this bamboo forest, everyone will play a simple tune, which is very noisy one after another, and it is not pleasant at all, but they are happy.

After returning home, Xiao Le went to the small bamboo grove outside the yard to pick a lot of bamboo leaves and brought them back home, so Jiang Xiuying also went to pick a few and came back. The two of you hate me, and I think you are even worse. The whole yard is lively very.

Since then, Xiao Le often went to play with Mo Cheng, as if he had become Mo Cheng's little brother, and Mo Cheng was willing to take him around to play.

Either to hunt birds, or to catch fish, from time to time, I go into the mountains to look for wild goods. If I'm lucky, I can even hunt two bamboo chickens or little rabbits.

After running with Mo Cheng for about two months, Xiao Le has grown a lot taller, and his whole body is also very free.

When Xiao Weiguo came back to visit them on vacation, he saw the changes in Xiao Le, "I haven't seen you for more than two months, and you've grown so much?"

"I'm still young," Xiao Le ate the roast chicken he brought back, his mouth was full of oil.

Xiao's mother was also eating, "Running around with Mo Cheng, the skin is very solid and a little fatter."

"Where is the fat?"

Xiao Le was dissatisfied, "It's all muscles!"

Xiao's father ate, although he didn't interject, he let out a burst of laughter, and he was mocking Xiao Le's words.

"How long can you stay this time?"

Jiang Xiuying asked softly while eating chicken wings.

"Four days," Xiao Weiguo said with a smile, "I didn't take a vacation for two months, so I piled it up together."

"One only took two days off, I treat you as old scalpers," Xiao Le pursed his lips.

Xiao Weiguo raised his eyebrows, "So what's wrong with being an old scalper if you dedicate yourself to the motherland?"

"Yes, yes, the great hero of our family, come and eat chicken legs."

"No, since you want to invite your friend to dinner, let's do it tonight."

After hearing Mama Xiao and the others say that they want to invite Mo Cheng to dinner, but they haven't invited him yet, Xiao Weiguo said immediately.

The younger brother has been running behind other people's buttocks, so he has to see what kind of person this is, so as not to lead his younger brother down.

"Brother Cheng is 26 this year, how much older than you are?"

Xiao Le washed his hands, wiped his mouth, and came over to drink herbal tea.

"Are you married?"

"No, Liu San has made a decision," Xiao's mother told Xiao Weiguo about the date of Liu San's marriage, "When your grandma was away, they gave away two yuan, and Liu San's father came to help a lot. , they sent two more yuan, this gift has to be returned."

"definitely."

Xiao Weiguo nodded, these favors must be remembered.

Listening to what they said about Sui Li, Xiao Le yawned. It was getting hotter and hotter, and he wanted to sleep after eating.

It was all right, Xiao Le greeted them and went back to sleep.

"Then Mo Cheng is a nice person. Your brother has learned some skills after following him for so long."

Mama Xiao praised in a low voice.

"Didn't Xiao Le get along with Liu San before? It's better now? Does Liu San still get along?"

Xiao Weiguo was worried.

"Now we can't get along, and we often quarrel when we get together, but with Mo Cheng around, they just quarrel violently." Jiang Xiuying said with a smile, "After Liu San engaged in marriage, he became more honest and often went to After working in the field, I will go to the old man's house to do it when I finish my work at home."

"From our village?"

Xiao Weiguo asked curiously.

"It's Fulan from your Uncle Zhang's family."

Papa Xiao returned.

"Fulan... is a good girl. It's very good for Liu San to marry her."

Xiao Weiguo scratched his head. If you want to say that in the peasant family, Fulan's figure is the one that the elderly like the most. He is tall and not thin, and he is quicker at work than men. He is a good hand both at home and outside.

"No," Xiao's mother nodded again and again, and said to Jiang Xiuying, "At the beginning, your aunt fell in love with Fulan, but the lovely people didn't want it. He is a little shorter than others, and I feel ashamed. Let me tell you, if you marry Fulan Lan went home, don't mention how hot these days are, what about now? There are chicken feathers all over the place."

"What are you talking about?" Dad Xiao frowned, "If Liu San hears this, I'll be in a hurry with you."

"I'm just talking at home, how can I say that outside?"

Xiao's mother rolled her eyes, "If Liu San asks to marry Fu Lan, the Zhang family is not willing to do so. They look down on Liu San as a bastard. Liu San wrote the guarantee and will never mess up again. After marriage I went to work to support my family, so I made an appointment."

"There is another matter," Jiang Xiuying listened with gusto, "Then Liu San really likes Fulan."

"That's for sure," Xiao's mother nodded with a smile, "Look, Liu San will definitely have a good life in the future."

In the evening, Mo Cheng and Liu San were invited over for dinner, so Xiao Le went there to call for someone in the evening.

Mo Cheng took out two bottles of Red Star Erguotou from his bag, and followed Xiao Le to Xiao's house.

"I'm going to find Brother Aimin, you go and sit down first, brother! Brother Cheng and Brother Liu are here!"

At the door of the house, Xiao Le yelled into the yard, and Liu San groaned when he saw this, "Why are you so polite, we are not outsiders."

"Please come in, please come in," Mo Cheng looked over, and saw a young man somewhat similar to Xiao Le coming out of the yard.

"Brother Wei Guo," Liu San introduced Mo Cheng to him, Xiao Weiguo extended his hand and shook Mo Cheng.

"I have to tell your brother, Brother Mo, come and sit inside."

Xiao Le didn't listen any more, and ran to Uncle Xiao's house to find Xiao Aimin.

Liu Yanyan hadn't spoken to him alone for a long time, and she was not a fool. In the past two months, no matter how much confidence she had, she was wiped out under Xiao Le's emotionless gaze.

He could only call men as dogs in his heart, not daring to show any emotion, and only regarded himself as an unpopular cousin.

Just maintain the kindness on the face.

"Brother Aimin, I'm not feeling well, so don't go."

As soon as Xiao Weiguo came back and wanted to invite Xiao Aimin to drink, Liu Yanyan immediately became unhappy, and pulled Xiao Aimin who wanted to agree and said in a low voice.

"Uncomfortable? What's wrong?" Xiao Aimin is not an idiot either. Looking at Liu Yanyan's expression, he knew that she was pretending. She was a little unhappy, but she didn't make trouble in front of Xiao Le.

Xiao Le scratched his head, "It's like this, besides my brother coming back, there are also Liu San and Brother Cheng. They said they were invited to dinner, but there has been no sound. No, my brother just invited them when he came back. Brother Aimin, I Go back first."

"Hey, I'll be here later."

Xiao Aimin smiled and waved at him. After Xiao Le left, the smile on Xiao Aimin's face slowly disappeared. He pulled out the arm that was held by Liu Yanyan, "Yanyan, are you really uncomfortable?"

Liu Yanyan bit her lip, "Come on, I feel a little uncomfortable."

Xiao Aimin pursed her lips and looked down at her.

Aunt Xiao snorted coldly, "What's wrong with her? She doesn't want to see you, Wei Guo, and Xiao Lehao! Now that it's clear, why did you want to marry in?"

"Mom," Xiao Aimin felt a headache when he heard this, Liu Yanyan's eyes also turned red, she turned her back to Xiao Aimin and said nothing.

"What's wrong with the brothers sitting together drinking and drinking? You have no ghosts in your heart, so just let your man go frankly."

Aunt Xiao shook off the drops of water from her hands, and strode into the kitchen.

What else can Liu Yanyan say?

I can only let Xiao Aimin go.

When Xiao Aimin went, the food was already on the table, and they were waiting for him, which made Xiao Aimin very embarrassed.

"Brother, sit here," Xiao Weiguo waved to him, and Xiao Aimin walked over to sit down with a smile.

"I haven't seen you for several months," Xiao Aimin patted Xiao Weiguo on the shoulder, and Xiao Weiguo smiled lightly.

"I took two months of vacation in a row, so I can stay at home for two more days."

"That's the reason, come, drink!"

Mo Cheng and Xiao Le sat on the side, and when Xiao Le just poured himself a second drink, Mo Cheng reminded him, "Don't drink too much, or you'll become a little drunk again."

Xiao Le blushed, "I won't drink after drinking this bowl."

Gee.

Seeing Xiao Le's cute appearance, Mo Cheng couldn't help grinding his back molars, why is this kid so cute?

Xiao Weiguo was very good at enlivening the atmosphere. He saw that Xiao Aimin was a little distracted, so he brought up a topic that everyone was interested in, and soon Xiao Aimin also participated in it. Mo Cheng saw all this in his eyes.

He couldn't help but look at Xiao Le who buried his head in the bowl and chased after the rice. Are these two brothers really brothers?

Why is one smart and the other stupid?

but……

Looking at Xiao Le who was chasing the bowl like a pig, Mo Cheng curled his lips, he was cute even if he was silly.

"Xiao Le, hold a bowl while eating."

Seeing that he was like a pig, Xiao's mother couldn't help reminding him.

Xiao Le pulled out his head from the bowl, "Who told my sister-in-law and mom to cook so delicious food, I can't help it."

Liu San looked similar to him eating, and nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, "That's right, Second Aunt, you don't know my mother's cooking skills, it's just like making pig food."

Xiao Ma and Jiang Xiuying were amused by his words, Xiao Weiguo smiled and did not forget to bring food to Jiang Xiuying. Seeing this scene, Xiao Aimin sighed slightly in his heart, besides, there was a sense of envy.

"I'm going to sue your mother, saying that you describe her cooking as pig food."

Xiao Le looked proud.

"Can you be a mature adult?"

Liu San frowned, looking at Xiao Le without a word.

"Heh," Xiao Le turned his head, "I'm very mature."

"Mature people won't sue," Liu San chuckled, holding up the wine bowl to touch Xiao Le, and he meant to give in a little, because he was afraid of his old mother's nagging.

Xiao Le didn't take Joe either. After bumping into him, he took a sip and ate the vegetables.

In view of the shame of getting drunk last time, Xiao Le was very measured this time, listening quietly to Mo Cheng and Xiao Weiguo and the others.

After eating, Brother Mo Cheng didn't leave immediately, but after helping to clean up, sat down and talked for a while, then got up and left.

"Brother Mo is not bad," Xiao Aimin's face was still a little red, he didn't drink too much last time today, but he was a little cheeky.

"Yeah, I look like a fool, but I have a sense of measure in my words, and I should know the scale in my actions." After chatting with Mo Cheng, Xiao Weiguo was very relieved that Xiao Le ran after him.

"Okay, I'll go back too," Xiao Aimin yawned, took a small match, and walked slowly towards home.

Xiao Weiguo sent the man to the path outside the yard, "Be careful, watch the path!"

"understood."

When Xiao Aimin arrived home, his parents had already fallen asleep, and only their room was still bright.

He washed his face and feet before returning to the house.

Smelling the smell of alcohol on his body, Liu Yanyan frowned slightly, and only leaned forward when Xiao Aimin took off his clothes and lay down.

"How is the drink?"

"Very happy," Xiao Aimin replied softly.

Liu Yanyan was full of questions, but she didn't dare to ask more. She lay on Xiao Aimin's body, "Let's have a baby..."

"Brother, close the courtyard door," Xiao Le said after taking a shower, saw the whole family sitting in the courtyard, and looked at the open courtyard door.

Today Xiao's mother is generous, lighting the oil lamp, and there is a warm light in the yard.

"Brother Aimin looks a little depressed, what's the matter?"

Xiao Weiguo closed the courtyard door and sat back, wondering.

"During this period of time, their house has been noisy from time to time, and it's uncomfortable for anyone to put it on. That's fine, don't mention that. You two haven't seen each other for more than two months. Go back to the room and talk quietly, don't sit here with us."

Xiao's mother urged the two of them to enter the house, not to be too obvious about wanting to hug their grandson and granddaughter.

It made Jiang Xiuying and Xiao Weiguo's faces flush.

"Then, let's go into the house and talk?"

Xiao Weiguo looked at Jiang Xiuying.

Jiang Xiuying responded in a low voice, and followed him into the house.

Xiao Le stared at the backs of the two curiously, and was slapped on the back by Xiao's mother, "What are you looking at? Didn't you drink too much? Go back to your room and sleep."

"I think I can sit still for a while."

Xiao Le touched his shoulder and said.

"I think you can sleep now," Xiao's mother poked him on the shoulder, "The pumpkins, cucumbers, and long beans in the field are all ripe, I have to go to the field tomorrow to collect them all, go to bed early, tomorrow Go early in the morning."

Xiao Le no longer hesitated, and went into the room to sleep.

It’s okay to say that the long beans are in the same field. The pumpkins and cucumbers are not gathered together. They are planted together with the corn seedlings. They are randomly planted, one in the east and the other in the west. Even the planters don’t know where they are all. .

You have to find them piece by piece.

The corn has not been confiscated, and it is not so comfortable to enter the corn field, after all, the corn leaves are a bit thorny.

Waking up early in the morning, Xiao Le looked at the sky, and it was indeed a fine weather. He and Xiao Weiguo, who were in good spirits, carried big baskets on their backs and parted ways to go to the fields on both sides.

About an hour and a half later, Xiao Le returned home with a basket of big pumpkins on his back.

"Oh my god, this year's pumpkin is too big!"

Xiao Le put down the big back basket with great effort, and let Xiao's mother look at the pumpkin inside, "I still haven't searched for most of them, so I'll go after breakfast."

"No cucumbers?"

"Most of them were spoiled and turned into water, so I didn't pick them and let them stay in the fertile land."

"I have a lot of cucumbers," Xiao Weiguo also came back, most of the cucumbers in his back basket, "You can soak cucumbers to eat."

"It's stewed in soup in winter," Xiao Le got greedy when he said it, and was laughed at by Xiao's mother.

After breakfast, Xiao's mother and Xiao's father also went to work in the field, and Jiang Xiuying cleaned up the housework and prepared lunch at home.

The four of them had been busy all morning, but they had collected the long beans, pumpkins and cucumbers.

Xiao's mother chose some good-looking pumpkins, filled half of the small bag with cucumbers and about three catties of long beans, and prepared to send them to Sister Xiao's house.

"They live in the town, and they buy everything. They spend money on food and drink, so they can buy less food when they send it over." The eldest brother-in-law's family has no land, so they buy everything.

"Brother, you and sister-in-law go, you can see the elder sister and the others, and you can go to relax."

Xiao Le handed over the job to Xiao Weiguo.

Xiao Weiguo's heart moved, he looked at Jiang Xiuying at the side, smiled and nodded, "OK, I'll go in the afternoon."

Jiang Xiuying's face was burning hot, she washed her hair and changed her clothes after eating, and then she and Xiao Weiguo went to Aunt Xiao's house to borrow a bicycle to go to town.

Xiao Le had no work to do, so he went to play with Mo Cheng, but Mo Cheng and the others were also collecting pumpkins and cucumbers, so Xiao Le went to Liu's house to work as a helper.

In the town, sister Xiao and his wife were holding the child, and the other was carrying the medicine. Not long after they got home, Xiao Weiguo and his wife arrived.

"How about so many vegetables?" Sister Xiao looked at the big bag of vegetables in surprise, "Is everything all right at home?"

"All right, we haven't seen you for a long time, so this time I'll deliver the food," Xiao Weiguo said, and saw An An leaning on his grandfather, looking at them listlessly, "Are you sick?"

The eldest brother-in-law and Grandma An An took the dishes to the kitchen. Sister Xiao nodded while letting Jiang Xiuying and the others sit, "I had a cold stomach, vomited twice in the morning, and sweated coldly. I sent it to the health station to have a look and came back not long after."

"Good boy, I'll be fine soon," Jiang Xiuying lovingly touched An An's little head. After staring at her for a while, An An suddenly smiled, "Auntie!"

"Eh!"

Jiang Xiuying was so pleasantly surprised that she wanted to hold An An in her arms and rub her. It can be seen that his small mouth was a little white, so she didn't bother her.

The couple stayed at Sister Xiao's house for more than an hour before preparing to leave.

They didn't go home at night, they were going to stay at Jiang's house for one night, and they would go back tomorrow morning.

Sister Xiao and his wife sent them out of the alley. After the husband and wife looked at each other, the eldest brother-in-law blushed and told Xiao Weiguo and the others about borrowing money.

Without further ado, Xiao Weiguo took out 20 yuan and handed it over, "It's not enough for me to go back and ask Mom to get some more."

"Enough is enough," Sister Xiao nodded again and again, "You guys also slow down on the way home."

"Hey," Xiao Weiguo and Jiang Xiuying bid farewell to them, and left by bicycle.

"I borrowed it cheekily this time, but what about next time?"

When I got home, the eldest brother-in-law gave the 20 yuan to Grandma An An, "Let my brother-in-law find a job to do. Let's take care of the old man with Chunyan, which is better than they are spending so much now."

Grandma An An sighed, "That's the reason, but... but Grandma Chunyan is afraid that she will die, and your brother-in-law is afraid that he will go out by himself, so the old man will go with him, and then we won't even be able to see him for the last time."

This is true.

Sister Xiao thought about it and said, "Help if you can, and it will pass."

Grandma An An nodded again and again, liking this daughter-in-law more and more, and the little prejudice in the past gradually disappeared.

Xiao Le ate dinner at Liu's house, and Liu San forced him to eat it. It has to be said that this meal and appetizers are not in the same taste.

He looked at Liu San in a daze, Liu San chuckled and said in a low voice, "Am I right?"

Xiao Le secretly glanced at Sanma Liu, and nodded slightly, "The appetizers are quite good."

"You can drink every day?"

Liu San snorted lightly, sat back and continued eating.

Seeing that Xiao Le was eating slowly, Mo Cheng continued to bring food for him. Xiao Le ate very painfully.

"You deliberately!"

After eating, Xiao Le, who was sent home by Mo Cheng, complained.

"Nonsense," Mo Cheng said seriously, "In the past, I didn't want to eat, but now I have something to eat, it's very good, and I can't be picky."

Xiao Le pouted, "You said that about me, but you didn't eat much yourself."

Mo Cheng coughed, "I'm not hungry."

Believe me, the old bachelor is very bad!

Someone who said he wasn't hungry, arrived at Xiao's house, ate two packs of Sachima, ate two cucumbers, and drank a lot of mint water.

When he left satisfied, Xiao Le talked about the taste of the food cooked by Liu Sanma, "It's the same as what Liu San said, it tastes like pig food, and it's a talent to be able to make the food like that."

"You still talk like that after eating other people's food," Xiao's mother scolded, "But Liu San's mother cooks like that, I really can't blame her, I remember Liu San's grandmother liked to cook like that when she was alive, People in the village eat there once, and they don’t want to eat it a second time.”

"Then when Liu San got married, did his mother still cook?"

"...No way," even Xiao's father hesitated at this moment, "probably not."

"...you talk so much that I dare not go to dinner."

"...It's not that serious."

After washing and scrubbing, Xiao Le, who was lying on the bed happily, felt a little sympathetic to the dog man, so after breakfast the next day, he went to find Mo Cheng with candy.

He called the man outside Liu's courtyard, and gave him all the candy in his pocket, "Here is your sweet mouth."

Xiao Le laughed.

Mo Cheng didn't refuse, he stretched out his hand and rubbed Xiao Le's head after putting it away, "Are you doing anything this afternoon?"

"It's all right."

"Come find me, let's go to Shanghe Village to fish."

"Great!"

It's not a lie to follow Brother Cheng to have meat to eat.

Knowing that Xiao Le was going down to fish, Xiao Weiguo became interested, "Count me in."

"Okay, let's touch more, and drink miscellaneous fish soup at night!"

"Brother Aimin?"

"Come on, he's been free these two days."

When Xiao Aimin was asked if he was going to fish, he was stunned for a while and asked Xiao Le, "Who else?"

"My brother, brother Cheng, and third brother Liu may also go, but brother Erzhu doesn't know."

After hearing that there were no children, Xiao Aimin immediately agreed.

Uncle Xiao looked at the two cousins ​​with a smile, this is the right way, "There is nothing to do before the autumn harvest, Xiao Le, where are you going to play, feel free to come to your brother Aimin and let him be with you."

"Uncle, are you going?"

"I won't go with my old arms and legs," Uncle Xiao laughed, and Uncle Xiao laughed too.

Only Liu Yanyan, who was working in the kitchen, felt aggrieved.

Before Xiao Weiguo got married, Xiao Aimin would often take Liu Yanyan to the back mountain, not to mention, he would go to the town twice a month to catch up with the fairs. The two of them were sweet, but since they played Xiao Le.

They never went out alone again.

In addition, after a relative came to the Liu family, Xiao Aimin often went out to play with Xiao Le and the others. How could he still think of her?

Liu Yanyan looked down at the stove fire, she heard from her mother-in-law today that Xiao Weiguo took Jiang Xiuying to the town yesterday and only came back today.

Not envious, she is not envious at all. Now it seems that although the Tongzilou is good, the big villa is more fragrant.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and continued to work.

In the afternoon, when the three Xiao Le brothers went to Liu's house to look for Mo Cheng with great interest, Xiao Le knew that Liu San had gone to help the future father-in-law's family, so only Mo Cheng would go.

Then look at the corners of Mo Cheng's mouth twitching slightly as he looks at the two older brothers behind him.

Xiao Le blinked.

Mo Cheng rubbed his head vigorously, "Let's go!"

Xiao Le was the youngest and the most talkative, chattering non-stop along the way, but after getting down the river, Xiao Le was the first to eat meat.

There are a lot of small fish in this river, but they are the ones who fish the most today, and most of the rest are little kids.

There is a big bamboo tube with a little water on the waist, and there is a small cover on it. When you touch the fish, you will stuff it in, and then close the cover. When you bend down, you will not worry about it falling out.

In the evening, a group of people walked home wet.

Mo Cheng was directly dragged to Xiao Le's house for dinner.

They gained a lot. Xiao Aimin took his share back home considering it was inconvenient for his family to come over for dinner.

Xiao Le and Mo Cheng took care of Xiaoyu, Xiao Weiguo and Jiang Xiuying cooked, and Xiao's mother and Xiao's father washed the vegetables.

Another hearty meal in the evening.

"Come over often to play."

When Mo Cheng left, Mama Xiao said.

So Mo Cheng came to find Xiao Le the next morning, and the two went to the back mountain to collect firewood with their backpacks on their backs.

And Xiao Weiguo, who was going back to the county tomorrow, didn't go with them, and stayed at home with Jiang Xiuying.

After Xiao Weiguo left, Xiao Le and Mo Cheng soon became sticky cake brothers. When they saw Mo Cheng, they knew Xiao Le was nearby, and when they saw Xiao Le, they knew that he was not alone.

The villagers soon discovered that the relationship between Xiao Le and Mo Cheng was not good.

To say that Mo Cheng is so old and looks so good-looking and tall, some people in the village are not thoughtless, but when asked by Liu Sanma, Mo Cheng said that he has no plans to start a family.

Most of those who asked someone to ask asked for a door-to-door visit, but Mo Cheng didn't want to, so they didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing that the two have a good relationship, someone actually asked Mama Xiao.

Xiao Le ran into him when he came back this afternoon.

According to the seniority of the woman who was talking to Xiao's mother, Xiao Le had to call her Aunt Fang.

"Fifth aunt."

Xiao Le put down a basket full of pigweed, greeted him, and went to fetch water, wash his hair, and take a bath. When he came out refreshed and ready to wash his clothes with a bucket, Fifth Auntie smiled and asked him to come and sit.

Xiao Le put down the wooden bucket containing dirty clothes, walked over and sat down.

"Xiao Le, do you know what brother Mo Cheng thinks?"

"What do you want?"

Xiao Le pretended not to know.

Xiao's mother bowed her head and was doing her needlework, but didn't talk to her.

Auntie Wu coughed and looked at Xiao Le with a smile, "It's about getting married, the village has two children like him, and he hasn't made an appointment yet, so don't worry?"

"Don't worry," Xiao Le shook his head, "He thinks it's fine now."

"Oh, how can he not be in a hurry?"

Uncle Wu analyzed it with Xiao Le earnestly, and asked him to tell Mo Cheng the truth.

"Is Liu San getting married soon? Liu San is married, and there will be a new wife at home. Mo Cheng is such a big man and a foreigner, is it convenient to live in? Inconvenient, it's better to make plans earlier, the Liu family is right No matter how nice he is, it’s not his own home after all, don’t you think?”

Xiao Le looked at Xiao's mother with a blank face.

Xiao's mother couldn't hide, so she could only nod vaguely, "Talk to him when the time comes, and see what he thinks."

After Auntie Wu left, Xiao Le hurriedly asked Mama Xiao, "What does she mean? Aren't all her granddaughters married off?"

"...I got married, but the man died," Xiao's mother pursed her lips, "I want Mo Cheng to renew the house."

The meaning of continuing the house is that the man dies, and the woman does not marry another man, but finds another man to take care of her ex-husband's family.

"...Brother Cheng won't be willing."

"Who would want to, don't even mention it," Xiao's mother pursed her lips. "In the future, if she asks, I'll block it."

Xiao Le nodded and went to do the laundry. In the evening, when Jiang Xiuying came back from a visit, she told them something important.

"The third younger sister of the uncle's family is back. She came back with the baby in her arms, her eyes are red, and I saw that she still has slap marks on her face!"

"What?!"

It's worth it!

Xiao's mother left the work in hand and went directly to her uncle's natal house.

"I talked to her, but she kept her head down. I asked her if she was being bullied. She choked up a few times, and then ran home. The child screamed, which made people uncomfortable."

Jiang Xiuying sighed.

Uncle Xiao’s family married two daughters, and Sanmei Xiao married to Bajiao Village, an hour and a half away from their village. Her husband is the fifth in the family, and she is called Lin Wu. She is the youngest son of the family and looks good. .

Lin Wu was more favored at home. After all, as the saying goes, the emperor loves the eldest son, and the common people love the youngest son.

This Lin Wu is the beloved youngest son.

In the second year after Sanmei Xiao got married, the Lin family split up. Not long after the child was born, Mr. Lin disappeared, and they lived with Mrs. Lin. During the New Year holidays, the rest of the brothers and sisters would go home to see Mrs. Lin.

If you are sick, the little head Xiao Sanmei and the others will come out, and the big head will be with the brothers.

The child is almost one year old, and the life is not bad.

Why did you come back crying all of a sudden?

Xiao Le quickly washed his clothes, and seeing that Xiao's mother hadn't come back, he told Jiang Xiuying and went to Uncle Xiao's house.

At this moment, Liu Yanyan was helping Xiao Sanmei to hold the baby, and she was sitting quietly beside her.

Mother Xiao, Uncle Xiao and his wife, Aimin Xiao and Third Aunt Xiao all talked around the crying Third Sister Xiao.

"Stay here first, we don't lack a bite of food for you!"

Aunt Xiao held her daughter's hand and said.

Sanmei Xiao nodded vigorously, "I'm the one who embarrasses you."

"What is this nonsense!"

Uncle Xiao stared, "You are my daughter, that is my own grandson, what does it mean to be ashamed?"

While speaking, she glanced at Liu Yanyan next to her. The corner of Liu Yanyan's mouth twitched, and she didn't speak no matter how dissatisfied she was.

Xiao Le was at the side with a dazed expression, while Xiao Aimin was smoking a cigarette with a dark face and didn't speak.

After Xiao's mother and Xiao Le returned home, Xiao's mother said, "Whether it's a big deal or a small thing, the problem is that Lin Wu made a move!"

"What happened?"

Father Xiao just came back from Erzhu's house, and heard Jiang Xiuying talk about Xiao Sanmei. He was about to go to Uncle Xiao's house when he saw them come back.

"What else could it be? Just when the third sister was taking the children to work in the field, the fourth daughter-in-law of Lin sent steamed eggs to Mrs. Lin. Just as the third sister was going home to pick up things, she ran into Mrs. Lin in the main room with the door closed. eat eggs."

Mrs. Lin did not want to babysit Xiao Sanmei's child, saying that she was old and afraid of dropping the child, so Xiao Sanmei took the child to the field when she was working.

The life at home is not so well-to-do, and many families have been separated. They still live in an old house that took advantage of it. It is good to eat meat once a month.

These two days, Sanmei Xiao was busy collecting cucumbers and pumpkins. She was already busy, so she ate some pickles and pumpkins, but she encountered that scene when she went back.

Who feels it?

"Didn't Lin find a job in the town five years ago? When he came home, his old mother cried and said that the steamed eggs were brought by the fourth daughter-in-law. She didn't eat them secretly, saying that our third sister gave them to her." She shook her face, cried and clamored to go to another house to live, and didn't look at Sanmei's face."

"Lin Wu was also anxious, so he wanted to appease the old mother first, and forced the third sister to admit her mistake to the old mother. The third sister admitted that she was not wrong. She didn't say anything at the time, so she pretended she didn't see it. She took the things and went to the ground to continue. Got to work."

"I came back after being tired all afternoon, and was forced to admit my mistake by Lin Wu, so I said a few urgent words.
