Wearing sixty with a male god

After the beginning of winter, the weather became colder and colder day by day. At the end of the year, it snowed even more. A few days ago, there was another heavy snowfall. The snowflakes fell profusely all day long, covering the whole village with a white padded jacket. .

Before the villagers had swept the snow off the roof, fine snow fell again, mixed with raindrops in the middle, and they couldn't stay for a while without covering it. had to go into the house.

There is no work in the village for the past few days, and the villagers are all nestled at home in winter. Xiang Chen is afraid of the cold, and the conditions for keeping warm are not good at this time, and the earthen walls in the countryside are not very warm.

Xu Hengzhou simply locked the bedroom door tightly, opened a small window to ventilate, lit a stove in the room, and sat a small pot on it, boiling hot water from time to time, or throwing an egg into it to cook.

Xiang Chen was huddled under the quilt in a thick padded jacket, a thermos bottle filled with hot water was placed at his feet, and his brother's warm chest was leaning against his back. On the wall beside the bed, Xu Hengzhou managed to nail a shelf, put a Hang up a small desk lamp that runs on batteries.

Their home is far away from other homes in the village, and there is no other sound outside except the rustling of snowflakes falling.Xiang Chen and Xu Hengzhou either read books together, or played games for a while, such as Poker Ludo Monopoly or game consoles.

They don't have to go out when they're hungry, it's just the two of them, it's too much of a pain to go out and cook in this weather.Xu Hengzhou gathered a batch of coal early, and asked the village's knowledgeable people to burn a pile of charcoal for him. A basket was placed in the corner of the bedroom, and these things were piled up.

The small pot in the house is very convenient for cooking noodles and dumplings. If you have enough of these, you can also eat hot pot. In the space, there are specially packaged hot pot balls, beef and mutton rolls, and other vegetables, vermicelli and mushrooms. If you want to eat What to prepare.

Xiang Chen ate happily for a few days, and after eating, he walked around the house sweating a few times, or learned a few things from his brother, but in the end he felt that the room was too small to move around, and felt that he hadn't even learned a little. Can go out and kill a tiger with one punch.

After exercising, the two of them nestled back to have fun, and they didn’t care about any meal. If they were hungry, they would eat two eggs from the small pot, or some snacks, drink milk from Xiang Chen and drink tea from Xu Hengzhou, and heat them directly in the small pot when they were sleepy. Wash with warm water, open the door after washing, and then lock the door to sleep.

After a few days like this, life was so depraved, Xiang Chen lifted his clothes and touched his stomach, always felt that he seemed to have grown flesh.It was his brother, Xiang Chen woke up several times and saw his brother doing push-ups, sit-ups, handstands and boxing exercises. He secretly lifted his brother's clothes while he was asleep, tsk, six-pack abs, envious Chen touched it several times.

Comparing with his own white and tender belly, Xiang Chen's tears are about to fall, he can only comfort himself that he is still young, and it is not easy to develop muscles, completely ignoring that before he shrinks, he also has only one abdominal muscle Weak chicken.

The sleet fell intermittently for nearly a week before it stopped. He stayed at home and didn't move much. Xiang Chen also gained two catties of flesh.

As soon as the snow stopped, the village immediately became lively. The men of the family had to go to the roofs to sweep the snow. Most of the roofs in the village were covered with straw.

The women are also busy. The vegetable garden at home needs to be tidied up, the clothes that have been changed have to be washed, the water tank is empty and the water needs to be carried again, and those who have not accumulated enough firewood hurry to do some more when the snow stops. They are not like Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen, there are about ten people in every household, and it is a big head just to cook firewood.

The children helped the adults to fight, occasionally playing and throwing snow balls at each other, causing the opponents to scream and fight back.

Xu Hengzhou was not idle either, the snow on the roof of their house also had to be cleared.Fortunately, he was well-prepared. After Chen Mutou finished all the things he wanted at home, he went around to a few acquaintances, and asked Chen Mutou to make all the wooden utensils that he didn't have at home, including A ladder, otherwise at this time he would have to wait for the house to be cleaned up before borrowing the ladder.

Xu Hengzhou set up the ladder, and Xiang Chen supported him from below. He took a big broom and swept the snow down little by little. After sweeping all the outside, he had to climb up to the roof.

Xiang Chen watched in fear from below, for fear that his brother would slip and fall from above, he clenched his fists and dared not make a sound, for fear of affecting him.

Xu Hengzhou's skills are fairly nimble, although he has never done it before, he can do it well after groping. He quickly cleaned the roof, turned over and got off the ladder.

Xiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, Xu Hengzhou moved the ladder away and put the house away.These few days they just stayed in the bedroom, the stove in the kitchen had to be reheated, and the water in the water tank was filled with ice scum, which he picked out a week ago, when they were in the house, they used the one from his space pure water.Xu Hengzhou simply scooped out the pot to boil water to wash the pot, and cleaned all the places in the house that needed to be cleaned.

After that, they busily filled the water tank, boiled water to fill the thermos bottle, boiled two pots of hot water, and poured them into the bathtub. The two had a hot bath and changed into clean clothes.

Winter is the happiest time in the countryside. Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen have a better life. They don't lack all the necessities for survival. The only thing they think about is how to eat and have fun.

When Xiang Chen's little friends came to find him, he was making a snowman in the yard, and he suddenly wanted to play with it. Xu Hengzhou was also used to him, so he only asked him to put on his gloves so that his hands don't get cold, and help him push the snowball. He also took two of the briquettes at home and used them as eyes for his snowman.

"Wow, this snowman is really big." Meizi exclaimed.

She wore a braid, and tied the red headband that Xiang Chen gave her at the end of the braid. She flicked it very lively. It has been two months, and it looks brand new. You can imagine how much she cherishes it. .

Hei Wa once secretly told Xiang Chen that Mei Zi's red-headed rope was almost lost. She was dragged far away by her cousin's braid on the first day she tied it. Later, Mei Zi's mother had sex with her aunt. shelf.

Xiang Chen felt concerned when he heard it, and wondered if it was a mistake for him to send this, but seeing Mei Zi's happy smile when she tied the red ribbon, he thought it must be right.

A few children came to play with Xiang Chen. There was nothing to do in winter, so the adults didn't bother them.Xiang Chen's family has a big place and few people. Brother Xiang Chen is not like the adults in their family. They don't let this or that. They used to be quite afraid of him, but after getting along for a while, although they are still afraid, they are not so cowardly. .

Xiang Chen inserted the snowman's arm and found that one of the friends was missing, so he asked the leader Hei Wa: "Why didn't Shanzi come?"

"He went up the mountain with his master." Shitou said first, winking at Xiang Chen: "Guess why they went up the mountain?"

Xiang Chen couldn't figure it out. According to logic, it should be a lack of firewood to cut some back, but since Shi Shi asked him this way, it must not be the answer.

He shook his head and said he couldn't figure it out. Shitou grinned and put on a vicious expression on purpose: "They went to catch the snake."

"Snake?" Xiang Chen was really surprised, "Why are they catching snakes?"

Shi Shi wanted to scare him, but he didn't, and muttered something dissatisfied, Hei Wa kicked him, and said to Xiang Chen: "Don't pay attention to him, Mr. Shan can make snake wine, and both of them can catch snakes, catch snakes, and catch snakes." The snake wine can be sold for money."

Xu Hengzhou was doing other things, but he became interested when he heard this: "How about their snake wine?"

Snake wine has many effects, such as expelling wind and activating collaterals, nourishing yin and strengthening yang, dispelling dampness and dispelling cold, especially for rheumatic diseases.Both he and Xiang Chen are still young, so they don't need this, but Song Wenbin's conditions are poor. He has been in the army for so many years, and he has suffered many injuries. If the snake wine from Shanzi's family works well, it would be good to send him some. .

Xu Hengzhou spoke up suddenly, which startled Heiwa. He scratched his head, hesitantly said: "It should be fine, I heard from my mother that there is a pharmacy in the county who asks him to collect their snake wine."

Xu Hengzhou was a little surprised. As far as he knew, Shanzi's family seemed to be in poor condition in the village. If the snake wine could be sold for money, the price would not be much lower no matter what. How could it be so miserable.

But he didn't want to ask too much about family affairs. Since Heiwa said so, the quality of Shanzi's snake wine should be good. He should go and have a look when he finds time. If the effect is good, he can order a few more bottles for storage.

Xu Hengzhou didn't say what was on his mind, but Xiang Chen guessed it. When he asked about the effect of snake wine, Xiang Chen reacted a little slower, but he also thought of the reason.His brother told him that when the weather gets warmer in the new year, they will find time to talk to the village chief and ask him to help open a letter of introduction to visit his uncle in the northwest.

Before the snow fell a few days ago, the postman from the county came and delivered the letter to them.The letter was sent by Song Wenbin. He had been worried since the first letter he sent when the accident happened. But at that time, Xiangchen and Xu Hengzhou hadn't decided where to go, so they just told him that the address was about to change, so don't send it yet. Letter, wait for them to settle down.

After going to the county for the first time, Xu Hengzhou took the opportunity to send a letter, and also left an address for Song Wenbin, and the two sides resumed communication.Every time Song Wenbin sent a letter, he put money and tickets in it. The tickets were the national food stamps that he specially asked someone to exchange.

How could he not send it? Over there, his living conditions are not good, and his salary is definitely not as high as before. Zhong Ping is pregnant and has to take care of his old boss and the old man of the Jiang family.Xiang Chen was always worried that his uncle would pick out the food in his mouth and send it to them as food coupons, so he could only send a large amount of supplies over and over again, telling him in this way that they were doing well and letting him do not worry.

In order not to make people suspicious, Xu Hengzhou didn't dare to send things in the county. He found a chance to take the car of the transport team and went to the next city. He returned on the same day without even a letter of introduction.

There is no rush for Snake Wine, there is still some time before they leave, the most recent thing is that Xiang Chen is going to celebrate his birthday, and he is inviting a few friends to come to his house to play together that day.

For the children in the village, it is very good to have an egg for their birthday, or cook noodles at home.As for inviting people to dinner, that's called celebrating one's birthday, and only old ladies and old men do that.

Before Xiang Chen finished speaking, a few children laughed first, and Xiang Chen puffed up his face angrily: "My brother has to be happy when he talks about his birthday, with his family and friends, will you come?"

Why don't you come, Xiang Chen is willing to invite them to dinner, who doesn't want to come, their family conditions are not bad.In the past, people in the village thought it was difficult for the two brothers to have no one to rely on, but in the past two months, Xu Hengzhou has earned hundreds of catties of grain and more than 20 catties of meat just by helping other villages repair threshing machines. If you kill a New Year's pig, you have to send him meat.

Not to mention the envy of the people in the village because he got benefits and earned face. His income has gone through a clear road, and everyone in the village knows that his family eats something good, so no one says anything.

"Who are there?" Hua Nier asked.

Xiang Chen snapped his fingers: "You guys, Shan Zi, Lin Jiayan from the Educated Youth, brother Gao Yang, sister Jiang Miao, and her younger brother Jiang Lei."

These people belonged to the same generation, that is to say, the younger generation gathered together for a meal, and no adults were invited. Although they were not very familiar with the educated youths, they were considered elders anyway, so it was acceptable.

Speaking of the Jiang family siblings, Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen also thought of ways to get on line with them.

The method is quite simple. Everyone in the village knows that Xu Hengzhou loves his younger brother the most. When Xiang Chen was fetching water, he almost fell into the river. "Coincidentally" was caught by Jiang Lei, an educated youth from the third team on the other side, who picked him up and sent the child to him. Come home.

Jiang Lei walked through the village with Xiang Chen's drenched lower body on his back, many people in the village saw it, and then Xu Hengzhou thanked him again, Jiang Lei was far away, and thanked him for sending it to his sister, with this, After the two parties got on the line and communicated back and forth several times, the villagers agreed that they had a good friendship.

As for Lin Jiayan and Gao Yang, these two people have really good personalities, and they care a lot about Xiang Chen, so when Xu Hengzhou asked Xiang Chen who would he like to invite for his birthday, even though he thought these two were a bit funny, Xiang Chen still reported it. their names.

Say hello to several people, and they all happily accepted Xiang Chen's invitation. Young people from big cities also like to get together with friends on their birthdays. Opportunities, they are all very happy.

Xiang Chen and Xu Hengzhou went to Shanzi's house together. Xu Hengzhou wanted to see how the snake wine made by Grandpa Shanzi was. When he arrived at Shanzi's house, Xiang Chen talked to Shanzi, and Xu Hengzhou went to see Grandpa Shanzi.

Shanzi's parents are gone, and there is only a lame grandfather and a poor grandmother at home.Master Shan heard that Xu Hengzhou said he wanted to see his family's wine, so he immediately moved a small jar, patted it open for him to see, and let him taste it.

Xu Hengzhou was not polite, he poured a small cup and tasted it, the liquor was not good, after all good wine is expensive, Shanzi's family can't afford it.But the finished snake wine is really good. Xu Hengzhou has seen too many good things, so he may not be able to make them, but he can definitely tell the difference. If this snake wine can be made with good wine, the quality can be improved to a higher level.

But it is definitely too late to order now. The finished snake wine will take at least three months from production to soaking. If it is to be better, the soaking time will be even longer. He and Xiang Chen will not be able to catch up before they go to the northwest.

Xu Hengzhou inquired with Mr. Shan whether there was any stock in his house, and Mr. Shan was very honest, so he took him directly to see, saying that there were two jars reserved for the traditional Chinese medicine shop in the county. offer him.

If it weren't for the fact that buying wine is not cheap, he would have given it away for free. He has heard from his grandson that the children can take care of him, and usually give him his own food. He always remembers in his heart that his family is poor and there is nothing to do In return, since people like the snake wine he brews, how can he charge more money.

Naturally, Xu Hengzhou couldn't take advantage of this. He asked the purchase price of the county pharmacy, and couldn't help complaining after hearing it. This is taking advantage of the old man!

But it's hard to say, he thinks the old man should know that the price is too low, but he can't help it, he can't buy and sell it personally, and he can exchange some in the village, but there are few people who drink it, who would want his more expensive medicinal wine.Selling to pharmacies is, at any rate, an income.

Xu Hengzhou added [-]% to the purchase price of the pharmacy. In his opinion, this price was still very low, but Master Shan refused, he would not agree to it, he would rather give him the price without money.At the end of the day, even Xiang Chen followed suit, and the final price was [-]% higher than the purchase price.

After negotiating the price, Xu Hengzhou was sweating all over. He never thought that he, a black-hearted businessman, would have a day to try his best to raise the price for the seller.It is really that the price of other people's things is high, but the price is too low, and he feels his thin conscience ache when he is missing.
