Wearing sixty with a male god

On the afternoon of the first day of moving, Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen hurried in and out, and finally prepared all the things that could be prepared, and recorded what was missing, so that they could buy things slowly when they had the opportunity in the future.

There was some dry firewood piled up in the kitchen. Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen went to collect it in the afternoon. They lived at the foot of the mountain. Among other things, collecting firewood was more convenient than others.

There was a wooden block in the main room, which Xiang Chen saw when he was collecting firewood, and asked Xu Hengzhou to move it back. They don't have a table or chair now, so moving a tree block back is quite suitable for storing things.Now there are two lunch boxes with lids and a kettle on the tree stump.

The windows were also glued up, and the village chief mentioned this problem when he brought Xu Hengzhou to see the house, and said that he had a few newspapers that could be used at home, and he could bring them to him if he needed them.Xu Hengzhou refused, saying that he brought usable paper.

He used a kind of translucent oiled paper, which has good waterproof performance and is relatively tough. After pasting it, the cold wind in the room was lessened, and it immediately became much warmer.

In the bedroom in the back room is their luggage bag, and there are still things in it that have not been opened. They can also use this as a cover when they take things out in the future.

This is all of their family's current possessions. Xu Hengzhou walked around the house twice and had a plan in mind.The countryside is huge, and he wanted to enclose the land in front of the house.Judging from the remaining traces on the ground, the original owner, Lao Lintou, also built a fence in front of the house, but this was not enough. Xu Hengzhou's plan was to build a fence. A layer of protection is always good.

But this matter can't be rushed, at least he has to establish a foothold in the village and get better acquainted with the villagers before he can speak about it.

In addition, when he entered the village, he saw that many people had a vegetable field behind their houses. It is said that the educated youths in the educated youth point also have their own plots to grow some vegetables for them to supplement their daily needs.

Xu Hengzhou thought about it, his place is big, and the back of the house looks quite flat, so he wondered if he could ask the village chief to come and grow some small vegetables.

In the evening, Xu Hengzhou cooked a can of meat porridge in a cleaned earthen pot, added some refreshing side dishes, and then brought a plate of cut fruits after dinner, Xiang Chen couldn't help but eat.

Xu Hengzhou jokingly pulled him up and walked around twice, and told him his plan by the way.Xiang Chen's eyes lit up, as if the picture his brother had drawn appeared before his eyes.

"We can plant a tree in the yard!" Xiang Chen said, "Plant a fruit tree. In summer, we can enjoy the shade and eat the fruit."

"Okay." Xu Hengzhou generously agreed: "I'll see if I can grow grapes here, or build a grape trellis for you."

Xiang Chen nodded desperately, this is good, the grapes are sour and sweet, and the raisins can be dried if you can't finish eating, and a deck chair is placed under the grape trellis, so comfortable to sleep in summer.

"I want both the grape trellis and the fruit tree." Xiang Chen looked at Xu Hengzhou eagerly, "Brother, let's have both."

Xu Hengzhou looked at the land in front of the house, and silently moved the distance away from the wall in his heart.All right, you want everything you want, children only make choices, adults can want everything!

Both of them had a good sleep that night, especially Xu Hengzhou, who almost slept lightly for the first two days and woke up at the slightest movement.

It was finally at ease tonight, no one was snoring and grinding their teeth, there was no unpleasant foot odor, only the child with the fragrance of milk in his arms, his soft hair rubbing against his neck, breathing smoothly and falling into a deep sleep.

The next day, Xu Hengzhou went to work in the field as usual. After getting along with each other these days, the villagers had a good impression of him.Good-looking and polite, without the contemptuous spirit of city people, he is gentle and polite when talking to anyone, and he is not lazy in his work, serious and meticulous, and he can't find faults in anything.

So when Xu Hengzhou went to the field today, some villagers took the initiative to greet him and asked him why he didn't come yesterday afternoon.

With a smile on his face, Xu Hengzhou said kindly that he moved yesterday afternoon, and he also put on a troubled look, saying that there were a lot of things missing at home, and he wanted to buy some, but he was new here and didn't know who to turn to.The village head is so busy, he can't bother him too much.

The aunt who claimed to be surnamed Yu immediately patted her chest and said, "Hey, it's just such a small matter, just ask me, I know."

So Xu Hengzhou learned from his aunt who was the best carpenter in the village.Which one can burn earthen pots and large cylinders, and the things they make are strong and durable.

He also listened to a lot of other information, Xu Hengzhou kept his attitude low, Aunt Yu couldn't stop talking, Xu Hengzhou silently wrote down a lot of information.

Rural people are used to self-sufficiency, and there are many craftsmen in Dahe Village.At this time, although there is no business in private, craftsmen are allowed to do some work and exchange some food and daily necessities.

This is good news for Xu Hengzhou. There are too many things that are missing at home, and they are all "buy" from the city. The transportation alone is a big problem, and there are bills and so on. If you can do it, at least you won't ask him for a ticket.

Aunt Yu stopped talking when her mouth was dry. She put down her hoe and took a breath. They didn't stop when they were talking. Points deducted.

Xiang Chen was very clever, and when his brother inquired about the news, he also obediently listened to him, without interjecting, he just blinked his big eyes and looked at Aunt Yu, full of curiosity, which made Aunt Yu wish to reveal everything he knew.

Seeing Aunt Yu stop now, Xiang Chen hastily opened the thermos he was carrying, and poured a cup full of hot water for her: "Auntie has worked hard, drink some water to moisten your throat."

Aunt Yu took the lid of the cup from his hand in surprise: "Ah, why is this water still smoking? Is it still hot after so long?"

Xiang Chen looked proud: "My brother brought this back from the big city. It can keep warm, and the hot water will stay hot all day long. It's very useful!"

In fact, it was a cheap thermos cup that Xu Hengzhou took out from the space, the kind that can be bought in the supermarket for a dozen yuan. He picked a few that didn't have any weird coatings, and took them as spares.When Song Wenbin went to the Northwest, Xu Hengzhou also installed one for him. Of course, it is a high-end product and should last for many years.

Aunt Yu was so curious, her eyes were fixed on the cup in Xiang Chen's hand, she even forgot to drink the water: "Is this the same as that boiling kettle?"

In their village, some people went to the city to work, and they said this good thing when they came back.In the house next door to Aunt Yu's house, the son was promising and married the daughter of a cadre in the commune, and he was dowry with a kettle.Good guy, the hot water is still scalding for a long time after pouring it in. It is really convenient to use. No one in the village has visited it, even Aunt Yu herself.

Xiang Chen nodded: "Basically, it's all the same principle."

"That's great." Aunt Yu couldn't move her eyes anymore, wishing she could take the cup in Xiang Chen's hand and take a good look at it.

"Drink it quickly, the water should be cold." Xiang Chen said with a smile.

How could Aunt Yu still care about drinking water, she put the lid of the cup to her mouth absent-mindedly, and took a sip of warm water, she was stunned, why is it sweet?

"This..." Aunt Yu hesitated holding the lid of the cup: "Why is this water so sweet?"

"Adding sugar is of course sweet." Xiang Chen said.

Aunt Yu froze for a moment, holding the lid of the cup at a loss. If it was ordinary white water, she would just drink it, which is nothing in the village.But sugar water, that can be taken out to entertain guests, how can she take advantage of others.

"Don't worry about drinking." Xu Hengzhou said with a smile, "You don't know, our group of educated youths left in a hurry, and my brothers and I are the only ones left in my house. Why don't we pack up and take away all the things in the house?! There are also some tickets I saved before. What, I used everything that could be used, and changed a lot of things, at least enough for our brothers to settle down in our village, don’t you think?”

Aunt Yu thought about it, isn't that the reason?The other educated youths brought some bedding and dry food, and the other things were prepared by their parents. The two brothers moved the family here, so it's no wonder that they asked her about buying household belongings.

She was still thinking about it, but it was useless to ask. There are two, a young man and a doll, how can they hire someone to make furniture, water tanks and food tanks for them.Now it seems that she may have a lot of good things in her hand, not to mention anything else, just this white sugar, this thermos, ouch, if she can do carpentry, she can't wait to make it herself.

But these two brothers really don't know how to live, why are they so prodigal!Aunt Yu sighed in her heart, it was so sweet, how much sugar was put in.

"Come here, come here, I'll pour the water back for you." Aunt Yu refused to drink sugar water, two lonely little brothers, she was ashamed to take advantage of him.

Xiang Chen held the cup to prevent her from pouring it, Xu Hengzhou stopped her and said, "Auntie, auntie, listen to me, we are new here and don't know anything, if you can give me some advice, my brother and I are grateful to you, this sugar water You can drink."

Xiang Chen also nodded: "Auntie, you can drink it. My brother said you are very nice and helped him yesterday morning. I specially added more sugar today just to thank you."

The two brothers sang together, and Aunt Yu blushed when she said it: "Hey, what can I do for you, just tie a hoe handle for him, your city dolls don't do these normal things, helping hands. Hey, what are you doing? Be so polite."

She said so, but she had a happy expression on her face. After all, there is no one who doesn't like to hear good words.

In the end, Aunt Yu still drank the cup of sugar water. If she was not embarrassed, she would have taken it home to give to the children at home.

After drinking the sugar water, Aunt Yu swore: "Don't worry, your affairs will be taken care of by Auntie, and I will take care of it for you."

"Thank you so much." Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen hurriedly thanked, Xiang Chen held the cup and wanted to pour sugar water for her, but Aunt Yu didn't want it, so Xiang Chen said that this sugar water was specially prepared for her, it was all them mind.

Aunt Yu was very moved when she heard this, and praised Xiang Chen repeatedly, but finally seeing that Xiang Chen persisted, she asked shyly if she could take the sugar water home.

She drank the first cup, and there is so much more, how can she be so greedy as an old woman, why not take it home and give it to her family to sweeten her mouth.

"I'll go home and get a bowl, it'll be fast." Aunt Yu looked at Xiang Chen eagerly.

"It's okay, just take the cup back and bring it in the afternoon." Xiang Chen handed the cup over.

Aunt Yu waved her hands repeatedly and dared not take it, it was a valuable thing, what would she do if she broke it, but she couldn't afford it.

Aunt Yu called a child who was playing on the ridge of the field: "Ergou, go and tell my Hua Nier to bring a big bowl to the field."

The child ran away after hearing what he said, and soon brought a little girl in her teens with a big bamboo basket on her arm.

Seeing Aunt Yu, the little girl yelled "Mother", looked at Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen timidly, leaned against Aunt Yu, and brought out a bowl of water from the basket to Aunt Yu.

"I asked you to take a bowl, why did you fill it with water?"

The little girl blinked: "I thought you were thirsty, otherwise why would you have an empty bowl, I also brought a bowl for my dad, and I'll send it to him later."

Aunt Yu looked around, no, there was still a bowl of water in the basket.

"You stupid girl." Aunt Yu cursed with a smile, but she was actually happy in her heart. My daughter loves her so much, how could she be unhappy.

"Mother helped these two brothers. They thanked me and gave us sugar water." Aunt Yu explained happily, and poured out the water in the bowl.

Xiang Chen quickly unscrewed the lid of the cup and poured all the sugar water inside. The big porcelain bowl was very big, and after Xiang Chen finished pouring it, it was only half full.

Aunt Yu held the bowl and moved it to her daughter's mouth: "Quick, take a sip first."

Hua Nier took a sip, her eyes widened, and it took her a long time to swallow it: "Mom, it's so sweet!"

Aunt Yu pushed her: "Thank you, brother."

Hua Nier thanked Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen with a smile, and they quickly said that you are welcome.

"Auntie, your child is really good at teaching." Xu Hengzhou praised him, and then said: "From now on, take my Chenchen more. He looks so big. Apart from studying well and being good-natured, there are other things. My son knows little, and I work, so I don’t feel at ease leaving him alone at home.”

"Brother!" Xiang Chen tugged at his clothes, blushing a little.

"What's the matter?" Aunt Yu answered straight away: "My second child is about the same age as your younger brother. Later, I will let him take your younger brother with him, and Hua Nier will also go. Don't let your elder brother bully others, do you hear me?"

Hua Nier nodded again and again. Aunt Yu thought about what Xu Hengzhou said just now, and asked curiously: "Your younger brother is already in school, what grade is he in? There used to be a village school in our village, but it is gone now. It's a pity, otherwise your younger brother can continue to study." .”

Xu Hengzhou smiled reservedly: "He's in the second year of high school, and he hasn't been in the third year of high school for long."

"What?" Aunt Yu couldn't believe her ears. Xu Hengzhou was talking about the third grade just now. She sounded like a high school student.

Xu Hengzhou repeated it tirelessly, and explained: "He has some talent in reading, he started elementary school early, and even skipped a few grades."

Aunt Yu looked at Xiang Chen with the same eyes as if she was looking at a golden bump. High school students, the few from their village who went to work in the city had just finished junior high school.If this was in ancient times, it must be a small champion!

Aunt Yu made up her mind even more, she wanted her children to communicate with Xiang Chen more, no matter what.

While talking, the weeds on their land were all hoeed, and the few of them changed places and continued to work and talk.

Seeing Hua Nier running with her with sugar water, Aunt Yu was terrified, for fear that she would splash the water.In the end, I was really worried, so I took out the bowl of water in her basket and said, "Don't give it to your father, pour the sugar water into two bowls, so as not to spill it, you should take it back quickly."

Seeing that she was about to splash water, Xiang Chen quickly stopped her: "Wait, Auntie, give me this water to wash the cup, the lid is a bit sticky and difficult to unscrew."

Aunt Yu gave him the water, and when he saw him pour the water off the lid after washing the cup, she was very distressed: "This water is still sweet, why did you pour it out?"

Xiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then said awkwardly, "I forgot."

Aunt Yu poured the remaining water into the cup, rinsed it back and forth twice, and asked them, "Drink?"

Both Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen waved their hands, Aunt Yu poured the water into an empty bowl and shared it with Hua Nier.After that, put half a bowl of sugar and water in two bowls, and let Hua Nier take it back.

After finishing work in the morning, Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen went home together, and made an appointment with Aunt Yu to work together in the afternoon.

After returning home, Xiang Chen washed the thermos again and put it on the big tree stump where they put their things.This cup has already been taken out and seen by others, and it is not easy to put it away. Although he and his brother will not use it in the future, there will always be times when it is useful.

Xu Hengzhou fetched water to wash his face, and when he went out, he saw Xiang Chen was lighting a fire by the stove he built. He went over and patted his head, and praised him, "You performed well today."

What happened today was planned by him. There were too many chores, and he couldn't do it alone. Moreover, as a foreigner, he really knew too little about the people in this village, so asking for help would save a lot of effort.

Of course, he can also go to the village head or Chen Fu, both of whom have a good impression of him, and they will definitely not hesitate to help.

But Xu Hengzhou felt that, as a foreigner, if he only dealt with the village cadres all the time, it would only further distance him from the villagers.It doesn't mean that he wants to get closer to the villagers, but at least he should have a few good friends, so that if something happens in the future, he won't be isolated and helpless.

Aunt Yu was one of the people he selected. When he was in the school of educated youths, he heard some information about the villagers from the educated youths. slow touch.

Although Aunt Yu's surname is not Chen, there are many uncles and brothers in her natal family, and the family is also a big family in Dahe Village. The man she married is surnamed Chen, and he is still in the same line as the village chief's family. Their grandfathers are brothers, and the relationship between the two families is still good. good.

Aunt Yu herself has an old-fashioned and warm-hearted personality. Although she is a bit gossip, Xu Hengzhou also takes a fancy to her for being well-informed.There are five brothers in her man's family, and his family can be talked about in Dahe Village.

Getting online with Aunt Yu today solved a lot of problems.

One is that the things that are missing at home have been found. Aunt Yu hired a craftsman, and he only needs to exchange things for a reward.

The second is to use Aunt Yu's mouth to spread the news that his supplies are still sufficient, and there will be a reason for him to buy anything in the future.His family has moved here, so what's the matter with buying some things?

As for publicizing Xiang Chen's achievements, it was a temporary idea. No matter where they are, children who study well always please adults.

Xu Hengzhou felt that doing farm work was indeed very hard. He was already tired after doing some simple tasks.He just did it, but what about Xiang Chen?When he grows up, he must go to the field, otherwise he will be raised by doing nothing, and the prejudice of the villagers will overwhelm him.

What is easier to do in the village?to teach.Even the village head has to go to the fields to work, but the teachers don't need it, and it's not that they don't need it. They still have to do it when the farming is busy, but it's easier than farming all year round.

Although there is no primary school in the village now, it is not that the village head does not want to build it, but the old principal is gone, there are no teachers, and in addition to the famine in those years, there is no food to eat, so how can I have the heart to study, the village primary school is so deserted.

Now there are children in the village who study, but they have to go to the commune primary school for nearly an hour. If there is a primary school in the village, I believe most parents would still like to let their children go to the nearest school.

Xiang Chen is still young, and there are still a few years for him to slowly plan. He can always find a way to persuade the village chief to rebuild the village school.At that time, he will be able to use today's foreshadowing, what's wrong with being young?Students taught by geniuses can be bad.

Xiang Chen couldn't guess what Xu Hengzhou was thinking, he just tried his best to cooperate with his brother, anyway his brother was always right.

"Look at me getting angry." Xiang Chen proudly raised his head, and said coquettishly: "Brother, next time you can't tell people that I don't know anything, how embarrassing!"

He counted slowly with his fingers: "I can wash clothes and cook, and I can also collect firewood in the future. When we have a vegetable field, I will also learn to grow vegetables. When I grow up, I will go to work in the field. From now on, brother, you don’t have to work so hard.”

Xu Hengzhou's heart softened when he said that his children would never let him down: "Okay, my Xing Xing is the most capable, and I won't talk about you in the future."

"It's not that you can't say it." Xiang Chen scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Let's whisper it, it doesn't matter if I do something wrong and punish me."

Xu Hengzhou patted his head, but didn't speak, his child is so good, how could he do something wrong, even if he did something wrong, he wouldn't punish him, how could he be willing.
