Seventy Little Heads

After school, the two dug wild vegetables consciously or subconsciously, and put them in the treasure for storage. Anyway, as long as they were put in, they remained largely unchanged.In other words, the change is very slow. This is what Wang Xuan told him later. Wang Xuan discovered this phenomenon because he always had to take out the medicinal materials from it.

The things brought in from the outside change very slowly, almost negligible, but the medicinal materials inside do not affect the growth changes.This is the strange part, Wang Xuan said, "No wonder it can't be used to grow crops inside, it's all the same, where it can germinate and take root, it will die."

Wang Xuan is a very frugal child. Since he has a baby, he doesn't have to rely on his strength to carry it, and it can be kept fresh.He immediately turned into a little squirrel, diligently filling it with various things.Even if it's just a few wild vegetables that come across occasionally, if you don't need it when you go home, just put it in.

Now his baby has a lot of things in it, and he can make the best use of it compared to dog eggs.Apart from studying, Goudan wonders whether the things in the treasure can be turned into money tickets. He really feels that his family is poorer than others.Especially when he decided to go outside to have a look, he wanted to save money, but until now he didn't have a penny of income, how could he save money?

Goudan slapped and slapped Wang Xuan's arm, killing a mosquito, "Go back and see if you can adjust the mosquito medicine? You see, we've come in so far, there are a lot of bags."

The woods were a bit stuffy, Wang Xuan wiped the sweat from his forehead. "I'll go back and look around." Wang Xuan's face was white, and his forehead was wet with sweat. I don't know why mosquitoes like to bite him more.

Because this year's life is considered stable, and he is not as sallow and thin as everyone in Chen'a, the good looks of inheriting his father gradually emerged.He is more beautiful than his father, and it should be said that he has inherited the good aspects of his mother. He is not as casual and dark as a dog egg.

He has grown taller, paler, and has flesh on his face. Who in the village doesn't boast when they see him now?

Goudan longs for the lively and exciting world outside, but Wang Xuan likes to be quiet. He is quite satisfied with working behind Goudan like this every day.Brother Goudan is worried that the family has no money, but he doesn't feel that life is hard now. Living in Brother Goudan's house is more enjoyable than living in his uncle's house before.

He is satisfied.

"Brother Goudan, open your mouth." Goudan obeyed, "Is it delicious?" Wang Xuan asked, his eyes narrowed in satisfaction.

"Sour, sweet. Delicious." Goudan nodded.

"Where did you see it?"

"Over there, there are too many thorns to pick."

Goudan took out a Bing knife from the treasure, which is now used as a machete after digging bamboo shoots, he chopped in front, and cut a path for his feet.Wang Xuan is also very good. He takes out copper bowls, silver cups, etc. from the inside to fill them, and puts them into the space when they are full.

In the hearts of the two children, there was no idea of ​​precious and careful enshrining, and they were all taken out and used.No one saw it anyway.Finally, the large leaf packets are picked directly.

Drilling out of the woods under the sun, before reaching the village, I met a group of young friends. Now few children will listen to women's bad words and stop playing with them.Goudan and Wang Xuan are very popular, everyone loves to play with them, if you accidentally fight with people from other villages, it's okay, Goudan can be the top three.But now the children in other villages have a very good relationship with Goudan. They are all classmates, and the indirect relationship between everyone is considered harmonious.

Those few people came up first, "What are you doing now? We couldn't find anyone just now, so we went to listen to the story, it's all right."

"Have you gone?" Goudan showed them the basket, "He's digging wild vegetables."

"Then call me next time, and I'll dig too. My sister also digs every day." One child said.

"Why didn't you go to the farm? Those two people still asked."

"If you don't want to go, then don't go!" Goudan snorted.

Wang Xuan just pulled Goudan, "Uncle won't let us run around, the grain will be harvested in a few days, let us help pick up the tassels." The other partners scratched their heads when they heard this, although Goudan had never been beaten by his father, But adults should listen to what they say.

Li Si sneezed and rubbed his nose while cleaning the sun-drying field, thinking who was thinking about him, could it be his son?This kid has always been very independent, and today he said he was going out with Wang Xuan.I don't know if I have gone home. The sun is so hot, so don't burn it.

The people next to him saw Li Si standing still after he sneezed, thinking that he was resting, so they came over to talk to him.

While talking, he talked about the children in the family, "...the child you raised, if you want to find a real father in the future, you will be at a disadvantage? At least raise it, it can't be called old age?"

Li Si just laughed, "Goudan likes that child. Let's talk about it later." When Goudan grows up, even if the child is gone, Goudan won't need a partner so much.As for the pension, he never thought about it. Anyway, he can still move, and when he can't move, he also has his own son.The son is given a bowl of rice every day, as long as he does not starve to death, there is no need to trouble the child.It is a blessing to have a son to die.

"You are also easy to talk to. When I saw the village chief, I guess he didn't want to bear the reputation of treating orphans harshly. I don't want to raise them, so I can only give them away."

"If you want me to say that it's right to give it away, why are you bringing it back again?"

"That's right, if you want just one, you can find a widow with a baby or something in the future. If you get together, there will be someone to warm the bed. Last time your sister-in-law said that there is a suitable one. When they heard that you would raise another child, they I’m not happy.” Who wants to raise other people’s children if the burden is too heavy?

The person who said this pointed to Li Si and said to the people next to him, "Let him send the child away, or at least send it back to his uncle's house. He is not willing. The widow also has children. But my mother-in-law said, That widow has a big butt, and her age is not bad, she is several years younger than him. Maybe she can give birth again, so she will have more sons. Why do I need to raise other people's cubs?"

Then everyone started booing or persuading, all with dirty words and all kinds of voices.When men get together, they can't do without the topic of wives.

"..."

"...Your son of a bitch is amazing. I didn't expect a son like you to be so good at reading. In the future..."

Li Si's face was wrinkled when he heard people praise the dog.Men can also gossip, but they don't like to repeat and nag like women.

"How do you raise those two dogs in your family? Look at Jun. When my son came back, he cried and said that he wanted to raise one, and his mother gave him a slap. People can't get enough to eat. Why do you want a dog?" He is as thin as Li Si, but he is not as tall as Li Si, his belt is so tight that it seems to be broken, the old vest is drooping, and the fabric under the armpit is falling down, and every rib can be seen.

Someone came over again, "This child can't be used to it, he will be satisfied with everything if he doesn't listen to the big slap when he speaks."

Li Si opened his mouth and didn't say anything in the end, since the topic was already off topic anyway.Finally, it was said that the women at home had gone, and Li Si's dumb woman had already run away, so he had nothing to say, so he could only listen in silence.In the end, the topic had nothing to do with him directly.

The summer harvest is approaching quietly, and Goudan's school is on holiday. Although many children do not go to the fields, the teachers still have to go to the fields.Otherwise, there would be no share in the food distribution, and the children would be free again.

Of course, only boys, girls cook at home, take care of younger siblings, clean, wash clothes and so on.

The children in the village have been in charge of their families for a long time, not because they are sensible, but because the environment forces them to work like half-adults.No one is born sensible.

In Goudan's house, Wang Xuan is more careful than Goudan, but their house is bare and there are no chickens or ducks, so it's over to feed the three of them.

The villagers protested. Now that the crops are half mature, they think that there is no food for the family. Should they cut a small part first and distribute the grain in advance, or how can they work if they can't eat enough? !No one understands this truth better than the village chief, but now he is not in charge.

"I would like to collect some first, and share it so that everyone can have two full meals, but who will bear the blame from the commune?" He took a deep puff of the cigarette, white smoke came out of his nose, and coughed twice.

Goudan and Wang Xuan sat next to Li Si, and they discussed in low voices whether the village chief was exhaling white smoke from his mouth, or whether the smoke was coming from his nose.

There are many old men who smoke tobacco.Goudan and Wang Xuan watched with relish, and the smoky ancestral hall seemed noisy.

Goudan tried it secretly. It was interesting to see that adults like to knock on the tobacco rod and then take a puff, but he almost choked when he secretly took a puff of old man Li's dry tobacco.If it weren't for Wang Xuan's pat on the back and pouring water, he would be cold.This incident cast a shadow over Goudan's psychology, and since then he feels that the old man who smokes from his nose is too awesome.

"The village chief should hurry up and feed the mosquitoes." From time to time, there was the sound of slapping mosquitoes, and they wanted to catch people who were scratching up and down.

"That's right, let's not talk about it. Who knows outside? When you go back, you will restrain your mother-in-law, but don't go out naked." The law does not blame the public. Everyone knows that this matter is at most held accountable by the village chief.

But everyone knows that this matter is serious, no one really dares to do this, or else my family will really become the public enemy of the whole village.No matter how unreliable the girls are, they dare not make such a big mouth. Who doesn't have one or two relatives and friends who miss it?If it is because of the early distribution of food, a little bit here and a little bit there, this matter will be made public.

The first thing I went back was to warn the women and children at home not to speak freely. The men in the village all expressed their opinion. Seeing that the crops are half mature, if they can't share some food first, let alone harvest them, they will be too hungry to work.

It was said to be a meeting, but not many people talked about the topic, and they didn't know where they went in the end.The village chief didn't say anything, smoking a cigarette, but thinking in his heart, don't look at everyone's positive attitude at this meeting, if something really happened, no one would dare to stand up and say a few words.

Critic|struggle, let everyone break the courage, no one will really confront the public, they don't have the courage and habit.So he had to think of a way. The situation in other villages was the same. If everyone distributed the food in advance, there would be no fault of one village chief.This is the voice of the people.

The old village head doesn't have much education, but he is also the "official" who has the most contacts with the villagers at the lowest level.People are mature, no, cunning and cunning.

Now Goudan has the mosquito repellent given by Wang Xuan on his body. Wang Xuan specially took it before coming here. There are basically no mosquitoes around them, but the smell is not very good.Others didn't think much about it, thinking it was because the third man lived a rough life, didn't like to take a bath, and smelled like pickles.

There were also people sitting around Fourth Master Li, but most of them were older, and some of them were careless and had an unknown smell all year round.And clean young people are far away from this father three. The surroundings of Li Si and his son don't know whether it is a smell of sweat or pickles, but the smell is quite strange anyway.

Everyone didn't say it clearly, and they all felt that there was no woman in the family to worry about. No, the clothes probably won't be changed for a few days.Like pickles.Doesn't it stink in this hot weather?Sympathy is sympathy in my heart, but not much is put into it.Who wants to make their noses suffer, doesn't they?

Li Si and Goudan were more concerned about this aspect, and did not pay attention to other people's thoughts.Wang Xuan found out that he has always been careful and the most sensitive. At first he didn't understand that people despised him as a "sacred family star", but later found that they despised them for their stinky body.

Wang Xuan blushed quietly, being despised by others is really not a pleasant experience.This prescription was formulated by himself, and there is nothing wrong with the prescription, but he does not have the ability of the master, so he cannot remove the excess odor for the time being.Because Goudan didn't care about these things, he didn't care either. As a result, the three of them seem to be isolated now?

He touched Goudan, Goudan turned to look at him, and Wang Xuan whispered the matter in Goudan's ear.
