"Give him less water during the day, especially before going to bed. It's better to wake him up at night." Zou Sinan walked up to Xu Hengzhou and earnestly taught him how to cure bedwetting.

Xiang Chen was ashamed and angry, his whole face was flushed red, his eyes were a little watery, and he looked at Xu Hengzhou with resentful eyes.

Xu Hengzhou endured the pain with a smile. He really just said it casually, just to scare away Jia Wenxing's dog-skin plaster, but he didn't expect Xiang Chen to be so ruthless and yelled out.

"Well, okay, thank you." Xu Hengzhou casually dismissed the kind Zou Sinan, and took Xiang Chen into the room to pack his luggage.Since we won't be staying for a long time, there is no need to unpack all the luggage, just take what you need, so as not to have to pack it again when you get it.

Jia Wenxing came in earlier than them, had already opened the package, and was putting his quilt on the bed.Because the Datong bunk was already full of people sleeping, and there were all kinds of quilts lined up on the bed, it should be a place that people have divided.

Xu Hengzhou had discovered it a long time ago, so his quilts were still bundled and put aside. He was going to wait for the other educated youths to come back and ask where they could get them out before making the beds.

But Jia Wenxing was different. He put the quilt he brought on the bed, removed the quilt from the middle, and put his own in the middle.

In fact, his idea is easy to understand, just like when sitting on a truck, the people sitting inside are shielded from the wind, so it is not so cold.

The same goes for sleeping. Although the house has walls to block the wind, the earthen wall is not very good at preventing cold. The place near the wall must be the coldest.In addition, this house is an old house. Although it has been repaired, there are still many problems. For example, there are a few holes in the wall, which were blocked with straw, but when you get close, you can feel the breeze blowing through the gaps. Come in.

Correspondingly, there are people on the left and right in the middle section, which can not only block the wind but also squeeze for warmth, which is the best place.And this room is full of men, unlike in the car, it would be shameless to compete with the girls, so Jia Wenxing did it without any pressure.

Xu Hengzhou glanced at it and saw Jia Wenxing triumphantly making the bed, he sneered in his heart, and slowly took out the odds and ends in his luggage.

It was almost noon when they arrived at Dahe Village, and the team and other chores delayed some time.Before they could pack their bags, there were already noisy voices outside, and other educated youths had returned.

"Hey, why is this door open?" A male voice with a loud voice said, "Someone has entered our room."

"Did you come to the educated youth?" The voice sounded more gentle, "I seem to have heard people say that another group of educated youths will come here."

When Xu Hengzhou heard the voice, he dragged Xiang Chen towards the door. While talking, those people had all arrived.Several young people appeared at the door, blocking the way out at once.

"Hey, you're really a newcomer." It was still the loud voice, but this time Xu Hengzhou saw his appearance, a tall and strong man.Judging from his eyes, Xu Hengzhou felt that this person should not be very old, but he had a beard, and he was obviously older by many years.

"Hello." The person standing next to the bearded man greeted him. Hearing the voice, it was the two of them who started talking.

This man is tall and thin, with a handsome appearance, and looks like a scholar. He also wears a pair of glasses like Jia Wenxing, but he looks much better than Jia Wenxing.

"My name is Lin Jiayan." The man introduced himself, and then pointed to the bearded man next to him: "This is Gao Yang."

Xiang Chen coughed, but couldn't connect this tall and strong bearded man with bronze complexion with "Lamb". Apart from their lush hair, do they have anything else in common?

Xiang Chen scratched his face in embarrassment. He didn't laugh at his name on purpose, but he couldn't hold back when he heard such a contrasting name at first.

Lin Jiayan obviously also saw what Xiang Chen was thinking, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up, he wanted to laugh but worried about his friend's face, so he endured it.Gao Yang, on the other hand, probably got used to it, stroked his beard with his big hand, smiled, but didn't seem angry.

Lin Jiayan turned sideways and was about to introduce the other educated youths behind him. Jia Wenxing suddenly pushed Xiang Chen aside, walked up to Lin Jiayan and said, "Hi everyone, I'm Jia Wenxing, from the capital."

Lin Jiayan was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, and quickly said: "Welcome, welcome Comrade Jia." After speaking, he walked into the room with Gao Yang and let the others in.

There was no need for Lin Jiayan to make any further introductions, Jia Wenxing walked up to them by himself, and quickly greeted everyone one by one.

Lin Jiayan and Gao Yang were squeezed to Xu Hengzhou's side. The two smiled at each other to express their friendship. Xu Hengzhou took this opportunity to introduce himself: "Xu Hengzhou, new here. This is my brother Xiang Chen."

Seeing those two people, especially Gao Yang, looking at Xiang Chen curiously, he explained the reason before they could ask.The two nodded suddenly, Lin Jiayan took out a date in his pocket and handed it to Xiang Chen.

Both Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen knew that he had good intentions. Although there was no shortage of food, Xiang Chen happily took it and said crisply, "Thank you, Brother Lin."

Lin Jiayan was so happy that his eyes turned into crescent moons, he joked with Xu Hengzhou: "Give me your brother, and I'll take it for you."

Xu Hengzhou rejected his "good intentions" with a black face, and secretly gritted his teeth, saying, could it be that he was short of Xiang Chen's food, and a jujube was almost abducted, and it was too easy to deceive, so he must be more careful in the future.

The atmosphere of the four of them was quite harmonious, talking and laughing, while several other educated youths were talking, they suddenly walked over with a bad look on their faces.

Lin Jiayan saw that something was wrong, so he quickly stood up and stopped him: "What's the matter?"

One of the educated youths said angrily: "What's the matter? We didn't go to the countryside to enjoy the blessings, and some people dragged their families over here, so shameless!"

Everyone present knew who he was talking about. Xu Hengzhou's expression darkened. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Jia Wenxing's face standing behind everyone, and instantly understood what was going on.It must be that he hates the house, and this is to find trouble for him.

"Weimin, what are you talking about?" Lin Jiayan frowned and said, "Comrade Xu's situation was reported to the organization. There are only two people in his family. He doesn't take his younger brother with him. What should he do with such a young child?"

Luo Weimin said angrily: "Then let us help him raise the children? What's the point? If you want to say this, I should also bring my younger brothers and sisters who can't work. Anyway, everyone will help me raise them."

"That's right, why?" The other educated youths agreed.

Xu Hengzhou sneered: "Who told you that my brother wants you to raise him?"

Seeing that he had no guilt, Luo Weimin felt more and more that this person had a dark heart, and said with disgust on his face: "Do you need to say it? You take a child to the countryside, and he eats and drinks what he eats. Why don't we all share our own money?" Do you think that we will let you see that your brother is pitiful, and let me tell you, you are wrong, like you who always want to take advantage of others, we will only despise you, never Let your treachery succeed!"

Luo Weimin's voice grew louder, and he attracted the female educated youth who had just returned. The girls stood outside the door, looking curiously at the male educated youth inside.

There were more people, not only did Luo Weimin not shrink back, but his fighting spirit became more and more high. He felt that he was like a fighter who bravely faced evil forces, and his whole body exuded great brilliance.

Xu Hengzhou was about to be laughed stupidly by this man. Being used as a gunman by Jia Wenxing, he could still put on such an appearance, and he was afraid that he would cry when he was slapped in the face.

"I'll ask again, who told you that I want you to raise my younger brother?" Xu Hengzhou said calmly.

Luo Weimin said: "Don't avoid the important and take the light, change the topic."

Xu Hengzhou sneered: "You're thinking too much. I'm asking this question just to find out who caused the trouble. Since you don't say it, then I'll take it as you who said it."

Luo Weimin was startled, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Jia Wenxing. Jia Wenxing put on an innocent face, as if he had nothing to do with him.

"Get out of the way, what are you doing standing at the door?" Suddenly, the female educated youths gathered outside the door made way, and the village chief walked in with a few bags.

"Village chief, you came just in time." Luo Weimin's eyes lit up, and he immediately went to the village chief to uphold justice.He didn't stop talking, and he finished talking in a short while.

"That's it?" The village chief frowned.

Luo Weimin nodded in a daze, is this all right?

"Who told you that this child will be raised by you?" The village chief asked the same question as Xu Hengzhou.

No matter how stupid Luo Weimin was, he realized that something was wrong, and immediately pointed to Jia Wenxing and said, "It's him, they came together. He said that the surname Xu brought a child, and he just wanted to eat our food and drink our food."

"Jia Wenxing, there is something wrong with you!" Before the village chief could speak, Zou Sinan, who heard the passing clearly, complained, "You know that Comrade Xu is going to move out because he doesn't want to take advantage of you, but you still say that. At first I wondered if he was thinking too much, it turns out that there are people like you, no wonder people want to avoid suspicion."

Zou Sinan was eloquent and spoke very fast. Before Jia Wenxing could stop him, Bili Pala spoke clearly.

Everyone was stunned, looking at Jia Wenxing with a strange look in his eyes, they couldn't figure out what he was trying to frame him for.

"When did I say that?" Jia Wenxing still wanted to die, staring at Luo Weimin and said, "I only said that he brought his younger brother, and you said the rest, it has nothing to do with me."

The boat of friendship turned over as soon as it said it would, not only did it turn over, the two even took the oars and slapped each other in the face.

Luo Weimin was so angry that his nostrils smoked: "You said that he brought a child and couldn't do any work. There must be no food. We can't just watch the child starve to death. You..."

"Okay." The village head interrupted him.He already understood everything, it was Jia Wenxing, a troublemaker, who was blindly confused, and Luo Weimin was foolishly used as a gun.These educated youths, all big men, are more capable of messing around than girls.

"There is no safety every day, and you are still an educated youth. What do you do?" The village chief reprimanded Jia Wenxing and Luo Weimin. In front of so many educated youths, the two felt their skins were on fire.

The village head looked around, and seeing that everyone was quiet, he cleared his throat and said, "Since everyone is here, let me take this opportunity to say something, and don't bother with this matter in the future."

"Come here." He beckoned Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen to his side, and the two walked over. The village chief pointed at them and said, "This new educated youth has only one younger brother left in his family, so the organization will Agree, let him take his younger brother to the countryside together."

"Considering that the child is too young to do work, so his younger brother does not share rations, neither does the village, nor yours. If he grows up and can earn work points in the future, and he is still in our village, then by then Let’s talk about it, but now, there is no ration!”

"Then what does he eat?" Someone from the educated youth yelled, obviously afraid of living together, Xiang Chen didn't eat, so they still asked them to make up.

"He eats his brother to find a way." The village chief said: "Before you came back, Comrade Xu had already told me about this problem in advance, and proposed to move out with my brother, so as not to cause you any trouble."

All the educated youths breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces softened a lot when facing Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen.

The village chief asked Yuan Wei and Zou Sinan from the crowd to come over, and gave them the four bags in his hand, telling them that they were borrowed from the village, and that they should eat first and make up after the distribution.The other educated youths also came here like this, so I didn't say anything.

Seeing Xu Hengzhou carrying the bag, the village chief added in a loud voice: "The house they want to live in is still being repaired. They will stay with you for two days first, and they can move out by the day after tomorrow."

Everyone has no opinion on this. After all, people said they were going to leave, and they came out to express their opposition. What's the point of offending others for nothing.

But at first everyone thought they were going to live in a fellow villager's house. Hearing what the village chief said, it didn't seem to be the case, so someone asked a few questions.

There is nothing to hide about this, so the village chief said directly that it was the two broken houses at the foot of the mountain.

The educated youths thought about it for a while, and they all remembered.Sometimes they went up the mountain to collect firewood, occasionally passed by those two houses, and went in to rest their feet, knowing that the house was really dilapidated.

After Lin Jiayan listened, he worried: "Is it too remote over there, and the house is too dilapidated, winter is coming soon, the two of them live there..."

He had a good heart, but Xu Hengzhou couldn't let him spoil his own good deeds. Just as he was about to say a few words, Jia Wenxing interjected angrily: "His brother wets the bed, if you don't mind, you sleep with him, who in the winter I want to wash the bedding every day."

The house was silent.

Except for the village chief and the two female educated youths who had heard the news earlier, the others looked at Xiang Chen in surprise. It is actually common for children to wet the bed, but they didn't expect Xiang Chen to wet the bed at such an age.

Xiang Chen froze on the spot, turning red into a tomato in an instant, looking at his brother helplessly, his eye circles were almost red.

Xu Hengzhou didn't expect Jia Wenxing to be so tricky, and he didn't care whether Jia Wenxing would stick to him again, so he quickly pulled Xiang Chen to his side and explained to him, "My brother doesn't wet the bed."

Everyone was laughing and nodding their heads, but they obviously didn't believe Xu Hengzhou's words.

Lin Jiayan coughed lightly, walked up to them, looked at Xiang Chen, lowered his head in aggrieved voice, and comforted him softly: "It's okay, I used to wet the bed when I was young, and I did too when I was young."

Xiang Chen raised his eyes and glanced at him, Lin Jiayan's eyes wandered, and he knew that he was lying.Xiang Chen snorted and ignored him.

After the village chief delivered the food, he left. Before leaving, he told Xu Hengzhou that he would tell him when the house was repaired.

At noon, the educated youths came back to eat and rest, because there was only one stove, they usually cook together, every day they arranged people to take turns to cook, and they ate separately after cooking.

Today it was the female educated youth's turn to do it. Yuan Wei, Zou Sinan, and Jia Wenxing all followed the example of other educated youths by putting food together and eating it together.

When he arrived at Xu Hengzhou's place, he explained to the male educated youths in the house that he didn't live here permanently, so the food would not be put together.Correspondingly, he didn't eat everyone's food these two days, and he still had some rations that he didn't finish, which happened to be eaten these few days, and he just wanted to borrow some hot water.

Hot water is not a big problem. Educated youths are reluctant to give up food, but it doesn't matter if they share hot water.And what he said made sense, and the others didn't ask him to hand over the grain given by the village chief.

The educated youths ate steamed buns with three-in-one noodles and wild vegetable soup.

They started to eat. Xu Hengzhou took out the prepared dry food from the luggage. It was still steamed buns. It was convenient and not eye-catching, but it was cold. He specially packed these in the luggage to pretend that there were more warm ones in the space. food.

You can't eat cold oil in this weather, so Xu Hengzhou gave Xiang Chen a candy bun, and told him in a low voice, "Eat less."

Xiang Chen understood, held a cornbread and grinded his teeth, and it took a long time to gnaw off the layer of skin.

Lin Jiayan thought that he didn't like to eat corn buns, and looked at the three-in-one noodle buns in his hand, it was not as good as Xiang Chen's corn buns.So I gave him my vegetable soup and let him drink it to warm his stomach.

Xiang Chen shook his head, turned out his small kettle, took it and ran outside: "I'm going to get some hot water."

Next to the stove, squatting a female educated youth eating, she should be the one who cooks today.Xiang Chen ran over and said crisply, "Sister, can you give me some hot water?"

The female educated youth raised her head when she heard the words, the smile on Xiang Chen's face froze instantly, and she asked in surprise, "Sister Jiang Miao?"

Jiang Miao hurriedly gestured for silence, Xiang Chen nodded hastily, and looked around again. Fortunately, it was cold outside, and everyone went inside to eat.

"Why are you here?" Xiang Chen asked her with wide eyes.

At first Jiang Miao only said that she was going to the countryside, but she didn't say where.Later Song Wenbin sent her away and told her that he had sent a letter back, but she didn't see it.

Jiang Miao took the kettle from Xiang Chen's hand, scooped up the hot water in the pot and poured it into him, and explained softly: "My dad said that the location here is good, and it's not out of the province, so I don't get used to it. He asked, The folk customs of this village are quite simple, so let us come here."

Xiang Chen came to his senses: "By the way, where's your brother?"

It is said that Jiang Miao and Jiang Sen were assigned together, but he did not see Jiang Sen with the male educated youth.

"He's across the river." Jiang Miao said.

She handed the kettle filled with hot water to Xiang Chen, telling him not to burn it, and then instructed: "Tell your brother, just pretend that we don't know each other, and we will pretend to be familiar with each other later."

She recognized Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen just now, but she just avoided to recognize each other, and was going to find a chance when no one was around.

Xiang Chen nodded, saw the half steamed bun that Jiang Miao put aside, and wild vegetable soup with little water in the soup, put down the kettle, broke off the candy bun in his hand, broke off the bit that he gnawed, and left stuffed it into Jiang Miao's hand.

Jiang Miao was taken aback, and quickly wanted to stuff him back. Xiang Chen picked up the water bottle and ran into the house, but Jiang Miao didn't dare to chase him.After the cornbread was broken open, the sugar filling almost leaked, and it couldn't be hidden on her body. Jiang Miao couldn't even give it back to Xiang Chen even if she wanted to save a chance.

She stomped her feet and muttered angrily, but the circles of her eyes slowly turned red, and she ate the best food she had eaten in the past half a year, mouthful by mouthful.

Xiang Chen ran into the house and finished eating the little cornbread left on his hand, pretending that he ate outside.

"What are you running for?" Seeing that his hands were empty, Xu Hengzhou raised his eyebrows and didn't ask any unnecessary words.

Xiang Chen unscrewed the kettle, poured some water on the lid, and gave it to Xu Hengzhou to drink.After Xu Hengzhou finished drinking, he gave him another glass and asked him to drink slowly.

Xiang Chen swallowed the steamed cornbread in his mouth with hot water, and seeing that his brother still had more than half of it in his hand, he knew that he didn't want to eat cold ones either.

So he leaned over, took a big bite, and picked out the candy filling inside, which his brother didn't like, so he bit a hole in the middle.

The sugar filling inside is made of crushed peanuts, sesame seeds, walnuts and sugar. In fact, it tastes delicious. Xiang Chen chewed the sugar, and felt that the cold sugar filling was unexpectedly delicious.

Seeing that he was eating happily, Xu Hengzhou handed over the steamed bread in his hand: "Take another bite."

Xiang Chen bowed his head, and simply ate up the candy filling for him, leaving the outside of the dough, showing a large semicircular arc.

Xu Hengzhou swallowed the rest of the cornbread skin with hot water, and felt that fortunately Xiang Chen liked to eat sweets, and the little bit of sugar really made him panic, and he was still thinking about how to throw this cornbread into the space.

The two of them had a good meal, but they didn't know that some educated youths who had seen this scene came together and whispered: "Look, it's a good thing we don't live together, all the food is given to his brother, he is hungry, don't you want us to help him?"

"That's right, it's a good thing he was sensible and moved out, otherwise we have to find a way to drive him away."

"Have you finished?" Gao Yang roared: "Eating can't stop your mouths, people eat your food?"

He was too loud, Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen heard the sound and looked over, the few people who were talking small words were watched by the Lord, and they all lowered their heads, secretly complaining that Gao Yang was meddling in his own business.

Xu Hengzhou patted Xiang Chen's head: "Don't talk to them." After speaking, he took Xiang Chen and opened the tied quilt.

He walked up to Lin Jiayan and asked, "Where shall we sleep tonight?"

The educated youth in the room looked over immediately, and Jia Wenxing said in a shady voice, "Anyway, I don't agree to sleep next to me."

Lin Jiayan glanced at him and said, "Then sleep next to me, Xiang Chen will sleep between me and his brother."

Someone complained in a low voice: "It's cold to sleep next to the wall, and three more people are squeezed together. They can't sleep against the wall at night. I'll just freeze to death."

Xu Hengzhou picked up the quilt: "Then let's sleep by the wall, which side? I'll put the quilt."

The person who complained was surprised and delighted, jumped up, ran to the bed and moved his quilt inside, making room for Xu Hengzhou to put the quilt.

The people who slept on the other side of the wall felt dissatisfied, but they said it first, so they had to bear it.Fortunately, their positions are taking turns, and after two days it will be his turn to sleep in the middle.

Xu Hengzhou went to make the bed. The quilt he brought was very big, and it was made of new cotton, which had been dried in advance and was very warm.He spread out the quilt and folded two layers on the side near the wall. It felt very thick to the touch, and he didn't give up until it was airtight.

After lunch, they rested for a while, and the educated youth went to work.I should have brought their newcomer to get acquainted first, but Jia Wenxing said that the luggage had not been confiscated yet, and he had to go tomorrow.Xu Hengzhou asked where they were working, and said he would chase them later.

Originally, I just kept track of how many centimeters I did here. Jia Wenxing didn't want to go, and the others didn't force them, so they went directly to the field together.

As soon as the educated youths left, Jia Wenxing immediately went to the next door to look for Yuan Wei, but the two girls did not leave without knowing what was going on.

Only Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen were left in the room. Xu Hengzhou quickly brought out two big warm meat buns and shared them with Xiang Chen.After eating, he added two more, and then took a thermos bucket of pork ribs and lotus root candy that had been cooked in advance, and shared it with Xiang Chen.

After eating and drinking enough, Xu Hengzhou opened the window to let the smell out slowly, lit another cigarette and burned it, until the smell of smoke in the room stopped.

Taking advantage of no one, Xiang Chen told Xu Hengzhou that Jiang Miao was there.Xu Hengzhou was surprised for a moment, he didn't expect such a coincidence.

"I gave my cornbread to Miss Jiang Miao." Xiang Chen said, "Brother, she said that Jiang Sen is across the river."

Xu Hengzhou understood what he meant. Jiang Shouping had helped the Song family a lot, and they were also indirect beneficiaries. Since they met their siblings, they should help.

Xu Hengzhou heard Xiang Chen talk about Jiang Miao's attitude, and after a little thought, he understood why she pretended not to know her.Both of them are from Dahe Village who concealed their origins. It is too easy to be exposed if people know that they know each other.

"Listen to her." Xu Hengzhou made a decision.
