There are all kinds of buying and selling in the bazaar, and in addition to all kinds of daily necessities, there are also some unscrupulous trades, and three or two people set up a stall around the corner, and just one bet size can win a full house, and layers of people watch there, hoping to make a profit.

The old man was also one of them, the one who was still the main force, and he blended in front of the crowd, and took a place beside the simple square plank, going back and forth for a few pennies, and the expression on his face changed with the back and forth of these pennies.

Among the many people who were addicted to gambling, the old man was the one who was very determined, and he prepared a total of fifty yuan, which he wore into a string of red thread alone, and when he had lost all the money, he would stop.

If you don't win, you may be able to come back in the middle, but you always lose in the end, which the old man can see, but where there is no money in gambling, he can also see it.

A man next to him slapped his knee reluctantly and scolded after losing a bet: "You must have done a trick, otherwise why do I always lose?"

The old man also lost, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile and persuaded: "How can there be gambling without losing money?"

Putting the only remaining red thread in his arms, the old man got up and was about to leave, and the two who pulled him over to play also smiled: "Brother is atmospheric, come back next time!"

When I met an old man who could lose fifty yuan without turning his face, he could be regarded as a big family in this kind of bazaar, and it was no wonder that they were able to overcome some evasions and call each other brothers.

"Okay, come back next time, come back next time. The old man responded, walked out of the crowd, went back to the stall and found Si'er, bought some food from the boss, and then went back.

The four sons, who already knew that the old man was going to gamble, didn't ask the other party what he was doing, and followed the old man with his hands behind his back, obviously the grandfather and grandson, but they didn't care about each other, so they went back silently.

It was almost noon, and as soon as she got home, Si'er saw the little girl who was choosing vegetables in the yard, so thin that she was a handful of bones, and the old woman's fat gray clothes were on her, empty, and together, she could only see the clothes that were erected.

"Wuya, go buy some meat, I told you, remember?" the old woman poked her head out of the semi-open kitchen and beckoned to the little girl.

The little girl sent half of the dishes to the kitchen, and ran out in response, and it could be seen that she had adapted well this morning, and she was not much uncomfortable with the eyes of the four children.

"What to watch, how old it is, you will know how to watch the girl's film. ”

The old man seemed to have eyes in the back of his head at this moment, and turned his head to the back of Si'er's head.

"Speak as you speak, and move whatever you want!" said the old woman, who saw this scene, and cried out to the cub, waving the shovel in her hand as if she was about to rush out and hit someone.

"Okay, okay. The old man waved his hand impatiently, and when he looked at Si'er again, he had an annoying feeling of "stay away".

Q: What should I do if grandma's overprotection makes grandpa dislike?

A: Whatever.

As if he hadn't seen the old man's face, Si'er stood at the door of the kitchen and looked over, "What does grandma do to make delicious food?"

"A little gluttonous cat. ”

The old woman said and picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it directly into Si'er's mouth, the slightly sweet taste made people feel pleasant at once, the farm craftsmanship was not exquisite enough, but it had a different taste in these home-cooked dishes.

While talking, Wuya had already bought the chicken and came back, and it was still the same mention, the old woman carried it and weighed it, and said with some dissatisfaction: "This chicken is getting smaller and smaller." ”

After a while, five dishes were served, three of them were meat dishes, braised pork, chicken, and one stir-fried dish, and the remaining two were a plate of stir-fried fresh mushrooms, a plate of tofu soup, and a few leaves of the clear soup were dyed green in the soup, among which the yellowed tofu really had no good color, and the taste was quite refreshing.

The square table, the one facing the door is against the wall, and there are no people, and the remaining old women and old men occupy the left and right sides, and there are only four children on this side of the door, and he can't see the little girl after he sits down, and asks: "Doesn't she eat?"

"Leave her alone, it's hers when we're done, you eat yours. The old woman was stubborn, and Si'er couldn't say anything more, so as not to upset her.

From yesterday to today, he always has an inexplicable sense of jealousy, as if he is being watched, so that he does not dare to make any changes, and his actions and actions are as consistent as possible with the original owner.

The meat dishes on the table are always the first to be eaten, don't look at the old woman and the old man's age, but their teeth are good, the three of them ate three plates of meat and vegetables, and drank some tofu soup, that is, when only half of the fresh mushrooms are left, the old woman swept the leftover soup into the fresh mushroom plate with chopsticks, and took it to the kitchen to call Wuya to eat.

Wuya didn't pick it, pulled the plate and devoured it, and after a while, she raised her face halfway, and the corners of her mouth were bright.

"It's an edible one. ”

When the old woman noticed Si'er peeping, she turned her head and said to him, "This girl will be your child daughter-in-law, and let her take care of you in the future." ”

This is not a discussion, Si'er asked suspiciously: "Child daughter-in-law?"

"Even when you grow up, you will take care of you for the rest of your life. "The old woman's explanation was simple and easy to understand.

Si'er nodded abruptly, and didn't mind being laughed twice by the old woman, seeing that she turned her head and left, she came to Wuya, who was about to finish eating, and pulled out a piece of meat from her cuffs, "This is for you." ”

No one is not hungry for meat, Wuya quietly looked outside, saw that no one was paying attention, quickly stuffed the meat into her mouth, and used a plate to cover her face, chewing quickly, waiting until a piece of meat went down, and then looked at Si'er's eyes and became much more affectionate, and promised: "Grandma told me, I will take good care of you in the future, and you will be good to me." ”

The small voice is very soft, but not squeamish, as if he has seen a good day ahead, and his big eyes are crooked, as if he is laughing.

The old woman who had walked to the side of the hut glanced sideways, and saw that the two were already talking with their heads together, and laughed: "This clever man has followed his father." ”

Thinking about it, he casually put more broken grass into the stone trough, and muttered: "I can't get fat when I see the sky, and I can't sell it at a high price." ”

It's different to have one more Wuya in the family, someone in Si'er can talk, and he also knows the approximate origin of Wuya, these years, the female baby is not worth much, the first few sisters in front of Wuya have been sold, and some have been eaten, speaking of this, Wuya still feels lucky.

"Otherwise, what can I do, I can't eat my brother, my sister's meat is very fragrant. ”

There was regret in her eyes, as if she was too much of a loss for not being able to eat it, she could covet the meat of her relatives, and this girl was cruel enough.

"If I hadn't met my grandfather, I would have eaten me next, and I don't know if I was going to eat it roasted. ”

When talking about herself, Wuya also looked at her little arm, she has only been here for a few days, the meat on her body has not yet been raised, skinny, it is not delicious to look at, the disgust in her eyes was clearly interpreted by Si'er, and she didn't know what to feel in her heart.

"It's all barren over there, and if there's a war, the good fields are full of grass, and no one has anything to eat, but if only my grandmother was there, I can still eat grass when I become a sheep." ”

The words in Wuya's mouth made Si'er excited, "You mean that people become sheep?"

"Yes, grandma said, our industry should be called sheep girls, and that's what we do, which is a great thing, so that those who don't have food can fill their stomachs, which is a matter of accumulating virtue. Wuya's eyes lit up when she spoke, as if she had decided her future aspirations.

I never thought that I would know about this big event from Wuya's mouth so easily, Si'er was a little surprised, but looking at Wuya's heartless look, it shouldn't be that she deliberately tried it, then, "Those people in the grass shed have changed?"

Early this morning, the adult sheep were driven out and sold, and the remaining lambs were still the few lambs, and the four children were going to the straw shed to see them.

"Don't you know?" Wuya was a little strange, glanced at Si'er, but still followed him to the outside of the grass shed, saw the few little lambs, and nodded to him and said, "This looks good, looking at Bai Shengsheng, the meat should be very delicious, but it's a pity, grandma didn't let me eat it, saying that the mutton was dirty..."

Looking at it, Wuya sucked her saliva, and the smell of yesterday's meat came back to her heart, and she was hungry again.

Si'er looked left and right, and he didn't see any obvious difference between the few little lambs, but in Wuya's eyes, it seemed that he could see their true colors at a glance.

"Can you turn them into humans?" asked Si'er in a low voice.

The little lambs didn't know if they still remembered their memories when they were human beings, and when they heard this, they stared at this side and made a "bleating" sound as if begging for mercy.

Wuya shook her head and said, "Grandma hasn't taught me yet, but when I learn it, I'll show you." ”

Yesterday's piece of meat can be said to have blown up Wuya's favor, and she has no objection to Si'er's request at all, just thinking about how to meet it.

Si'er, who was "spoiled" by the little girl, restrained her disappointment, touched Wuya's head and said, "Don't worry, you learn slowly." ”

"Hmm. Wuya was very happy to enjoy touching her head and killing, and then looked at Si'er's eyes with more softness, this person is really good to herself.

Si'er won't know that yesterday's piece of meat was the first piece of meat that Wuya grew up to eat, this kind of "first" will always be memorable, plus some of the old woman's Xi Nao words, this child daughter-in-law can be said to be loyal.

When the old woman came back, she knew that Wuya had told Si'er about this, and she didn't blame Wuya, but pulled Si'er in front of her and told him some ancient things, explaining that the family's livelihood was like this, and she also talked about the improvisation of buying and selling.

"If the price is higher, it will be sold, and if the sheep sells better, it will be sold, and there will be no loss." Regardless of drought or flood, farming and doing business are not as good as eating and drinking at home. ”

When the old woman spoke, she seemed to be quite proud of this karma, and when she heard a sentence from Si'er, she couldn't ask for a long time, if she was sold as a sheep and was killed to eat meat, what would she say?

"Can I learn too?" asked Si'er with a slightly excited look.

The old woman looked embarrassed: "Our family is not a woman, not a man, you are the only one in your generation, but you can't learn this, this is not a good thing, if you don't learn, you won't learn, Wuya will learn the same, just wait for her to raise you in the future, grandma has arranged it, and I won't let my grandson suffer." ”

Si'er, who was coaxed for a long time, made an unhappy look, and made a fuss about learning something, the old woman was not young, where could she resist such a fuss, and finally relented and agreed to send him to an apprenticeship, and he would become a shopkeeper or something in the future, and also open a shop. 166 Reading Network
