The dwellings in this village are very loosely distributed.

From a distance, you can see several streaks of smoke rising. Obviously, at noon, these villagers are also going to prepare lunch.

Yang Tian and the others casually walked into a small courtyard.

I saw a little boy lying on the ground on the other side of the courtyard with his back to them, as if looking at ants.

"Doesn't it seem like a good thing to casually enter someone's house?" asked Xue Xiaoxi.

"It's fine. It's normal for this kind of farmhouse village to visit the door," Yang Tiandao.

"Eh, who's coming?" a woman walked out of a mud house not far away, as if she had heard movement.

This woman is a standard peasant woman.

The arms are thick, the complexion is slightly dark, the muscles are relatively developed, and the body looks strong.

Such a woman is definitely no worse than those peasant men in charge of the affairs of the peasant family. "Hello, aunt," Yang Tian said generously, "My girlfriend and I were playing on the mountain, playing and playing, and we went the wrong way, so we came here." I happened to be hungry again, so I wanted to find a place to have a light meal. If you bother your aunt, we can pay the price

You're good to go. ”

When the aunt heard this, she was stunned for a moment. glanced at Yang Tian and the others, and then showed a simple and kind smile. "That's what it looks like. I see you as if you came from the city. The aunt smiled, "There are very few people who are willing to come to our poor country to play." Since you're here, stay and eat. Forget about the money or something, as long as you don't dislike our family's food

If the food is not delicious, believe it. ”

Yang Tian smiled and said, "Then we're welcome." ”

Xue Xiaoxi also said: "Thank you, aunt." ”

"You're welcome. Come, come in and sit. I'm going to cook two more dishes and cook more. Soon it will be fine," said the aunt.

Yang Tian and the others came to the dining table in the earthen house and sat down.

It is said to be a dining table, but it is actually an old wooden table with a round. The workmanship is rough and old.

If you look at the other objects in this house, you can see that the family background of this aunt's family is not very good.

Xue Xiaoxi didn't look at these.

She kept looking out the door, looking at the little boy through the door. A little nostalgia welled up on the little face.

"When I was a child, I squatted on the ground like this and watched ants," Xue Xiaoxi said, "At that time, I was really innocent." ”

"Well, I saw it that way when I was a child," Yang Tiandao, "and then, my master came out and trampled all the ants to death with one kick." ”

"......" Xue Xiaoxi was a little speechless for a moment, "Your master is too ...... It's cruel. ”

"The crueler ones are still to come," Yang Tian spread his hands and said, "After he trampled those ants to death, he immediately threw a few books on the corpses of those ants and told me: Within three days, I will finish memorizing them all!"

When Xue Xiaoxi heard this, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "This ...... It's harsh enough. ”

The two chatted and chatted, and the meal seemed to be ready.

The aunt brought out the food and said with a smile: "I've been waiting for a long time, I can prepare to eat." ”

Yang Tian glanced at it, there were a total of four dishes.

A bacon fried cabbage.

Stir-fried carrots with a green pepper.

An egg custard.

A stir-fried wild vegetable.

It's not a lot of meat, but it looks fresh.

For those who are accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, this is also a change of taste, which is quite interesting.

Xue Xiaoxi, a snack item, was about to drool at a glance, and immediately picked up chopsticks and prepared to eat.

But as soon as she picked up the chopsticks, she remembered that there was a little boy outside the door, and immediately shouted to the door: "Children, come in and eat!"

However.

When the words came to him, the boy did not react.

He was still there, looking at the ants intently, not moving, as if he hadn't heard it at all.

Xue Xiaoxi thought that his voice was too quiet, but the little boy didn't pay attention, so he amplified the volume a little more and shouted, "Little friend?"

The little boy remained unmoved.

There was no reaction at all.

At this time, Xue Xiaoxi was a little embarrassed.

"Uh...... Why doesn't this kid ignore me?" Xue Xiaoxi smiled bitterly.

The aunt smiled, but the smile was slightly lower and bitter. Shaking his head, he said, "This kid is not ignoring you. He is inaudible. ”

After saying that, the aunt walked out the door and patted the little boy on the shoulder.

The little boy turned around and glanced at his mother, and then he knew that it was time to eat, and followed his mother into the room.

As soon as the little boy entered the small living room, he seemed to be a little surprised and a little excited when he saw Yang Tian and Xue Xiaoxi.

"Whoa...... Ahh

Yang Tian and Xue Xiaoxi didn't understand what this meant, so they could only turn their heads to look at this aunt.

The aunt smiled, "Xiongxiong rarely sees strangers. So it's a little exciting to see you. ”

At this time, the little boy continued to make a sound: "Babble, babble, babble......"

His hands also began to gestur.

The first few gestures are completely incomprehensible in what they mean.

The last one was very clear that he gave Xue Xiaoxi a thumbs up.

"This is ......," Xue Xiaoxi asked.

"Xiongxiong, this is saying that you are beautiful. He said you were the prettiest sister he'd ever seen. The aunt translated the meaning of the little boy.

Xue Xiaoxi was of course happy when she heard this, smiled, and said, "Thank you, little friend, for the compliment." ”

Then, he wondered about the aunt: "This child ......"

"He's deaf, he's born like this," said the aunt, "because he can't hear, he can't learn to speak." That's what it is now. ”

Xue Xiaoxi was slightly startled when she heard this, and then, with some regret, said, "How can this be...... Such a lovely child...... Alas. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked this. "It's okay," Auntie shook her head very tolerantly, "I've already accepted the reality of this." Heaven is destined to be like this, and what can be done? I've taken him to a lot of doctors, but there's nothing he can do. Now, in fact, it's okay, with me taking care of him, he's doing well

。 I'm worried that when I'm old and dead, I'll die. He's alone, what should I do? ”

Speaking of which, even if she didn't want to reveal too many negative emotions, her aunt's eyes couldn't help but overflow with a deep despair and sadness.

The family itself doesn't have much money.

The child was deaf and mute.

At that time, I am afraid that no girl will be willing to marry. Who, then, will be able to take care of this poor child when he is old, and how can this child live well?
