The good and the bad were all told by Chen Youshan, and the old village chief stared blankly with anger. Chen Youshan was implying that this young man would open his mouth if he could repair it. If he couldn't repair it, he couldn't blame others. Badly bad.

This old man is really insidious!

The old village head is a dumb man who eats coptis, and he can't tell what he suffers.But even so, the dumb old village chief is determined, who made him ask for anything?

After Xu Hengzhou listened, he neither patted his chest and said that he could repair it, nor hesitated to try it. He just smiled and said reservedly: "I just heard that you don't know the specific situation. You have to see it to know." Can it be fixed?"

His attitude made the old village head feel relieved. Originally, because he looked too young, the old village head thought he was a little unreliable, but now he looked at it, this young man is very stable.

The old village chief was a straightforward person, and immediately said: "That's okay, go and see, our village will not treat you badly if you can repair it, and you won't blame you if you can't."

But at this time, he couldn't just leave. It was lunch time. Although Chen Youshan didn't get along with the old village chief, he still had to save face, and he had to take care of the meal no matter what.

The old village head may not necessarily want to eat this meal at Chen Youshan's house, but now he has something to ask for, and he always wants to give Chen Youshan some face. .

Chen Youshan also kept Xu Hengzhou, but Xu Hengzhou refused to eat at his house, he only said that Xiang Chen was alone at home, and he would wait for him to go back after cooking, and it would be the same if he came back after eating.

Chen Youshan knew that he loved his younger brother very much. If there were children from other families in the village, the family would have raised such a big child long ago, but Xu Hengzhou was always worried and protected his younger brother like a baby.

But thinking about how brothers depend on each other for life, Chen Youshan felt that Xu Hengzhou's attitude was understandable.

The old village chief still wanted to keep people. He wanted to say a few more words to Xu Hengzhou when he was eating, but Chen Youshan said directly: "That's okay, come here early after you finish eating, let's make up the numbers."

Xu Hengzhou just left, leaving Chen Youshan and the old village head sitting face to face, and finished the meal with a smirk on their faces.

After he went back, Xiang Chen had already steamed the rice, and it was ready to eat after frying two quick dishes.Xiang Chen filled up the rice and covered it, and squatted under the stove to light the fire. Xu Hengzhou unpacked a bag of sour bamboo shoots, fried a sour bamboo shoot with shredded pork, and fried a diced lotus root. One meat and one vegetable, the portion was full, enough for two people up.

Chen Mutou, who made furniture for them, agreed to Xu Hengzhou's request and first brought a small square table, which was small enough for the two of them to sit and eat.

Chen Mutou couldn't figure out why he needed such a small table, he couldn't sit down when a guest came. In fact, Xu Hengzhou's plan was to use this small square table on the Kang when the family kang was ready.

There is no kang yet, and the large table that is used to entertain guests at home has not yet been prepared. The two of them eat around this small table every day, because the table is too small, and the legs of the two underneath are touching.

Before Xu Hengzhou left, he just wanted to have a good word with Xiang Chen, but he was called away by someone. After he came back, he was busy cooking again, and finally sat down before he had the heart to say a few words.

"I might go to other villages these few days, and they asked me to repair the threshing machine." Xu Hengzhou usually didn't hide anything from Xiang Chen, and said it directly.

Xiang Chen was picking up the chopsticks, "Where are you going?"

"A village in the west is not too far away. It takes half an hour to walk there." Xu Hengzhou gave him a chopstick of shredded pork and told him to eat quickly.

Xiang Chen ate all the dishes he picked up, and then asked in a low voice, "Are you coming back tonight?"

"Where will I live if I don't come back?" Xu Hengzhou pretended to be angry: "I want to kick your poor brother out of the house when I'm only so old, a cruel bad boy."

The bad boy was so teased by him that he pursed his lips and smiled, the corners of his mouth turned up, and the expression on his face became cheerful: "Yes, you want me to provide for you in the future. If you bully me again, you won't be able to walk when you get old." , I’ll also tie you up with a red-headed rope, and take photos, wash them out and hang them on the wall!”

He seemed to have thought of that scene, his brows and eyes were curved with joy, and he looked at Xu Hengzhou proudly with his little chin raised.

This is really a terrible threat, Xu Hengzhou laughed so hard that he couldn't eat anymore, "It's too scary, I don't dare to bully Xing Xing again."

He raised his hand as a gesture of surrender, he said he was afraid but smiled on his face, Xiang Chen also put down the bowl and threw himself into his arms, stretching out his paws to pinch his face: "Don't laugh, your words are too fake."

Xu Hengzhou poked his waist twice, and Xiang Chen immediately shrank into a ball with a smile, "Itch, don't touch me..."

When Xu Hengzhou touched him, he was like a mimosa, shrinking and shaking, laughing so hard that he was almost out of breath.Xu Hengzhou didn't even use any force, and easily made this little villain who wanted to make trouble scream and beg for mercy.

When he kindly stopped, Xiang Chen collapsed in his arms, and after a while he got up with support, kicked him angrily, ran to his seat and sat down.

After all this trouble, the food was cold, but the little gap between the two disappeared without a trace.Xiang Chen muttered that Xu Hengzhou was bullying the younger, but he was flattered in his heart. He liked it like this. It would be nice for the two of them to laugh and make trouble. Cold war or something really didn't suit him.

"Don't eat, I'll make it again for you." Xu Hengzhou wanted to take away the cold food.

Xiang Chen refused, his brother had to go to the village chief's house later, it would be a waste of time to cook again, at least he could let his brother rest for a while after eating.

The two insisted on each other, and finally Xu Hengzhou took out a few buns from the space. They bought them in the county. The rest Xu Hengzhou pretended to put them in the bag, but actually put them directly in the space. It was still warm when they took them out. .

Nibbled on the steamed buns, Xu Hengzhou made a three-flavored soup. The fire in the stove was still on. Xiang Chen is very proficient in using this kind of earthen stove. After that, the soup is ready. With this soup, eat two steamed buns with sauced meat. This meal can be regarded as over.

After eating, Xiang Chen went to wash the dishes. There was hot water in the pot, and washing the dishes would not freeze his hands.Xu Hengzhou was sat down by Xiang Chen to rest for a while, and then said a few gossips to Xiang Chen, so that he would go to play with his friends or read in the house when he was bored, and then got up to go to the village chief's house after explaining.

Chen Youshan and the old village chief had already finished their meal. They were two old rivals, and they could count on their fingers the number of opportunities they had to eat while sitting at the same table.Nothing happened, just looking at the other person's face made me lose my appetite.

The old village chief finished his meal without knowing what to eat, and waited for Xu Hengzhou to come over. When he saw him, it was like seeing a relative, "Finish? Let's go now."

Naturally Xu Hengzhou couldn't just leave with him, Chen Youshan also stopped him: "Wait, we haven't made it clear yet, how can we just leave like this."

The old village chief's heart skipped a beat, seeing the smile on Chen Youshan's face, he knew that something bad was going to happen, and sure enough, Chen Youshan began to ask first with a smile.

Now his confidence in Xu Hengzhou is unprecedentedly high, and he feels that he will definitely be able to fix the broken threshing machine. If this is the case, he can't just look at it and then come back. It's a waste of time. He has to repair it. Not paid.They will lose money if they don't talk about remuneration after doing it.

Chen Youshan presented the facts and reasoned, and finally forced the old village chief to say that as long as Xu Hengzhou can repair the threshing machine in his village, he will give him twenty catties of grain, and give him five catties of meat after killing pigs during the New Year!

This remuneration is not old or young, it took a lot of effort for Chen Youshan to pay for it, after the old village chief agreed, his heart ached like a drop of blood, as if it was his flesh that had been cut.

But who let people have this kind of ability, unique craftsmanship, love to repair or not, what else can I do except promise.

From the beginning to the end, Xu Hengzhou just listened quietly, and only said with a smile when the old village chief asked him for his opinion: "All listen to our village chief."

These words made Chen Youshan very happy. Although he was cutting the old village chief's flesh, he was indeed benefiting Xu Hengzhou. If he cooperated like this, Chen Youshan knew that Xu Hengzhou understood his goodness.

After the talk, the old village chief held his breath and wanted to take Xu Hengzhou away. It was already half afternoon, and when he went back to do something casually, the day would be over.After spending such a high price, why don't you take people there earlier and fix the threshing machine in their village earlier?

But Xu Hengzhou refused to go with him, and the old village chief was dumbfounded: "What's wrong, didn't we agree?"

Xu Hengzhou smiled wryly: "I have a younger brother in my family. I don't worry about him being younger. I have to stay at home at night."

The old village chief originally thought that if he borrowed the man and lived in his house at night, he could squeeze one of his grandsons into the big bunk, let Xu Hengzhou sleep there at night, and repaired the threshing machine during the day, so he could be repaired early Peace of mind early.

But Xu Hengzhou didn't cooperate, he had to come back to live, how much time would be wasted just going back and forth!The old village head was so anxious that he wanted to jump, but Xu Hengzhou killed him, otherwise he would not go, and asked him to leave his brother at home alone, no way!

In the end, the old village chief had no choice but to compromise. In this way, it would be too late today, and he could only wait until tomorrow morning.

After making an appointment with Xu Hengzhou, the old village chief left in a hurry.Xu Hengzhou and Chen Youshan had been there to thank them, and Chen Youshan patted him on the shoulder and praised him severely, telling him to perform well and earn more face for Dahe Village.

After returning home, Xu Hengzhou told Xiang Chen about his itinerary for the past few days. He went there in the morning and came back in the evening, and Xiang Chen had to cook for himself at noon.

Xu Hengzhou was afraid that he would not be able to eat well, so he rushed to knead the dough to make the dough and adjust the stuffing. He wrapped more than a dozen buns, steamed them in one pot, and put them in a basin. When Xiang Chen wanted to eat, he took them out and heated them up. , and make a soup by yourself.

Eating only buns is monotonous, and he also made a lot of dumplings. In this weather, the dumplings are frozen in the kitchen, and they can't be broken even if they want to. Throw them into the pot the next day, and they can be eaten when they are cooked.

In addition, some biscuits, bread, milk, etc. were also kept, and Xiang Chen put them in the bedroom to hide them, and eat them when he was hungry in the morning or afternoon, without having to open fire.

After all arrangements were made, Xu Hengzhou went to other villages without worry. Before leaving, he still told Xiang Chen that the milk must be warmed up.

Xu Hengzhou has been busy for nearly a week. He wakes up early in the morning, cooks breakfast, and rushes to repair the threshing machine.Xiang Chen felt sorry for his brother, so he woke up in the morning, yawned so sleepy, and wanted to help cook the fire.

Xu Hengzhou ate outside at noon, and the village was in charge of the meals, so Xiang Chen would heat up the buns or cook dumplings.His brother would replenish the ingredients for him every night when he came back, not only to eat these, there are many instant foods in the freezer, Xu Hengzhou thinks these are not good, but Xiang Chen thinks they are quite good, and the taste is not bad. One person can eat half a bag.

Xu Hengzhou was so busy that other tasks at hand stopped. Originally, he went back to fetch water every morning to fill up the two water tanks at home.But now he had to leave early in the morning, Xiang Chen didn't want him to get up too early, and it would be unsafe to get water, so he took over the job.

He is weak, and can only carry half a bucket of water at a time, so he has to walk and rest. Fortunately, he has a lot of time, so he moves slowly one by one. After fetching water, he carries a small basket on his back to collect firewood.When his brother came back in the evening, the two of them had a good meal. He boiled water to soak his brother's feet, then washed and lay down, the two of them talked for a while, and fell asleep while talking.

The days when Xiang Chen slowly moved the water didn't last long, and in just two or three days, the news that Xu Hengzhou went to repair threshing machines for other villages spread throughout the village.You know, not only did Chen Youshan and the old village chief not deal with each other, but the two villages also competed with each other. Although there was no hatred, the villagers of the two villages still had a rivalry with each other.

When they heard that Xu Hengzhou had been invited to repair the threshing machine, the villagers were overjoyed. They thought the same as Chen Youshan, and they really had face!

So when he saw Xiang Chen dragging half a bucket of water, wandering through the village unsteadily, an adult immediately took the bucket over and took him home.He poured the water into the tank and saw, oh, it wasn't full, so he took the other empty buckets with him, and he filled it up after a few trips.

Xiang Chen ran after him. He was empty-handed and almost missed the person carrying the water. When the water tank was full, he chased after him to thank him.

The uncle who had nothing to do with them said with a hearty smile: "Your brother has earned face for our village, so it's nothing to fetch you a few buckets of water."

From that day on, Xiang Chen never fetched water by himself again. Every time the bucket was brought out, it was snatched away. Once, two villagers came to snatch it at the same time. Sending water to Xiang Chen's house, but in the end it almost couldn't hold it.

The same goes for picking firewood. Xiang Chen just carried a small back basket into the village, and when he lowered his head, it sank behind him. He didn't even pick up two, and the back basket was full. Looking at the thick branches, no matter how they looked, they were all branches chopped down by others.

Xiang Chen refused to go to the village to collect firewood. He felt that he was taking advantage of others, so he could only hide in the house and read a book, or find a few friends to play with.

When Xu Hengzhou came back in the evening, Xiang Chen told him these things, and Xu Hengzhou also laughed, thinking that it was right to choose to come to Dahe Village. Xu Dashan's hometown made him understand what it means to be a poor mountain and evil water, but what Dahe Village made him understand It is simple and honest.

Xiang Chen boiled hot water, and the two of them stepped on their feet to soak their feet together. Xiang Chen stepped on Xu Hengzhou's feet with his fat, fleshy feet while asking him about the situation there.

Xu Hengzhou let him step on it, Xiaopang's feet were quite soft, and Xiang Chen didn't use much force, it was quite comfortable to step on.

"The progress is not bad." Xu Hengzhou clamped Xiang Chen's feet, and said casually: "Actually, it's not as serious as what they said. It's a problem with the threshing machine in our village. The missing part is easy to replace."

In fact, if he didn't procrastinate last time, there is no need to spend so much time this time, and if he repaired it in a day, people may still suspect that he didn't try his best. After all, he only repaired the one in Dahe Village for several days. Well, this broken one is more serious, how can it be repaired faster, Xu Hengzhou had no choice but to delay the progress.

As soon as Xiang Chen heard this, he let go of the worries in his heart, and he knew that his brother could do it.It just so happened that Xu Hengzhou pinched his feet, he ran away with all his thoughts, and used both feet to fight, the big and the small kept thumping, and finally the pots on the feet were overturned, splashing water all over the ground.

The two looked at each other for a while, and couldn't believe that they did such a childish thing, but the water stains still spreading on the ground told them, yes, these two plus the age before crossing, are old men The two men are so childish.

Xiang Chen failed first, then he fell back on the bed, laughing so hard that Xu Hengzhou couldn't help poking him, he turned around and almost kicked Xu Hengzhou's face.

Xu Hengzhou grabbed his fat foot and scratched it until he begged Chen for mercy, saying "good brother" and "favorite brother" all over again, and then Xu Hengzhou let him go.

Xiang Chen was lying on the bed panting, laughing so hard that he couldn't hold it back, and now he still had a smile on his face, Xu Hengzhou put on a pair of slippers to clean up the water on the ground, put the foot basin in place, washed his hands again, and then turned it off. Haomen went to bed and slept with his child in his arms.
