After the two drove back to their home, they moved boxes of mountain pepper sauce into the house.

As soon as he moved all the mountain pepper sauce into the house, before he could stretch his waist, Lu Wenen's voice came from outside the courtyard gate.

Chen Yang remembered what he had told Lu Wenen yesterday, so he hurriedly walked out of the gate of the courtyard.

Lu Wenen was sitting on the big cement brick at the gate of the courtyard, and when he saw Chen Yang coming out, he stood up, wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, and smiled honestly: "Chen Yang, look at how many catties of firewood I have here?"

He pointed to the wheelbarrow next to him.

Chen Yang glanced at the two bundles of cedar branches on the wheelbarrow, and smiled at Lu Wenen: "Haha, that's good, you actually cut two large bundles of firewood today." ”

"Hehe, yes, these two bundles of firewood also took an hour. Lu Wenen said, "Thanks to you and the village chief, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have cut two large bundles of firewood so easily." ”

The cedar branches were shaved off by the village chief and others from the fallen cedar trees. After trampling and exposure to the sun, some needles fall off the branches. In this way, when people pick up branches to intercept firewood, it will be very simple, just remove the tail and side branches of the cedar branches.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, these cedar branch village chiefs will not give to others easily. Instead, when he is free, he will go into the mountains and bring him home.

However, when Chen Yang mentioned Lu Wenen to him last night, he did not hesitate and agreed directly.

"I'll just say, the village chief is such a good person, as long as you talk to him, he will definitely let you cut the cedar branches. ”

"That is, indeed. Lu Wenen smiled a little embarrassedly, "He said that all the fir branches in the future will belong to me, as long as I am willing to cut them, I can cut as many as I want." ”

The fourth uncle walked out with Xiao Qian in his arms, and said with a smile: "If you say that, I want to cut it a little." ”

"Come on, you. Seeing that the fourth uncle was holding the baby, Lu Wenen couldn't help but laugh when he saw that the fourth uncle was holding the baby, just like the young @ women in the village, "You still honestly help Chen Yang take care of the child." ”

"It's just that, be your nanny and don't think about developing a side hustle all day long. Chen Yang teased, "You use Xiaoqian to practice your hands first, and after a few days, after your baby-raising skills grow wildly, I'm sure there will definitely be many women vying to marry you." ”

Probably because he was too single, hearing this, Lu Wenen actually showed a look of envy.

He may be thinking that if there are also a bunch of women vying to marry him, it should be the peak of his life.

Jokes aside, Chen Yang didn't dare to waste Lu Wenen's time, and when the fourth uncle couldn't find the words to refute him, he had already taken a big rod scale from the yard.

He and Lu Wenen worked together to tie two bundles of firewood together with hemp rope and hang them on the scale hook.

The two lifted the sticks that crossed the iron ring of the large pole and scale, and the two bundles of firewood immediately rose off the ground.

After Chen Yang fiddled with the hemp rope tied to the scale, he let the scale rod parallel to the ground and said, "Uncle Lu, look, ninety catties and five taels are counted as ninety-one catties." ”

"Okay. ”

The two put down the firewood, untied the twine, and carried the two bundles of firewood to the corner and piled them on the ground.

The fourth uncle said: "Wen En, yes, ninety-one pounds, that's-"

I wanted to show off my IQ, but the actual situation didn't allow it, the syllables of the word 'yes' dragged on for half a minute, but the fourth uncle couldn't calculate how much ninety-one times forty-five was equal to.

Alas, shame.

Chen Yang laughed and said: "Fourth uncle, don't be 'yes', if you have a mobile phone these days, who can still talk about it." ”

After that, he took out the copycat mobile phone he bought for a few hundred yuan and turned on the calculator.

"How old is your phone? Lu Wenen smiled.

Chen Yang raised the phone, looked back and forth, and said disapprerovitically: "It's okay, this phone can still be used, there has been no fault, and when it is completely scrapped, replace it with a new one." ”

"As for it, do you have to wait until it is completely scrapped to replace?" Lu Wenen sighed, "You are a small boss now, and you still use such a broken mobile phone, isn't it very valuable." ”

This is not true. Chen Yang held up his mobile phone and said with a smile, "The mobile phone is just a communication tool, you can make calls, send messages, and check information on the Internet." We, the common people, should first live a good life, and then think about improving the quality. Look at me, I still live in this shabby house, how can I have spare money to buy a better phone? ”

"Ouch, I'm embarrassed to say that. Lu Wenen took out his new mobile phone, "Look, I just bought a new mobile phone the day before yesterday, if I had heard your words two days earlier, I would definitely not buy it." That's true. ”

"If you buy it, you can buy it, it's nothing, you earn the money yourself, it doesn't matter how you want to spend it. Chen Yang said, "But I think that if you spend one or two thousand yuan to buy a mobile phone, it is better to add a major appliance to your home first to improve the living conditions at home." For example, a refrigerator, a washing machine, or a water heater can be used, and if it doesn't work, you can buy some new clothes for your family for the winter. No matter how beautiful the phone is, it can only be seen when it is taken out, but if the clothes are new, others can see it from afar. ”

"Xiaoyang is right. The fourth uncle looked at Chen Yang with a look of surprise, he really didn't expect Xiaoyang's thinking to be so progressive.

He originally thought that the reason why Xiaoyang had no money was because he liked to spend money indiscriminately. For example, he bought Xiao Qian's things for a few hundred yuan at once today.

But now after listening to Xiaoyang's words, I realized that this Xiaoyang is still very sensible.

He knows that for the poorest people, the money should be spent where it should be spent, not on face projects. This is really rare.

He then added: "I also feel that when I am not very rich, there is no need to spend money on such useless things. Of course, having money is another matter. But the situation in our village is basically a poor word, and there is no need to waste too much money. ”

Lu Wenen nodded in approval.

Originally, he didn't want to buy this new mobile phone, but that day, when Owang Ba and his party ate bee chrysalis at his house, they showed off their mobile phone in front of him, and said that his mobile phone was too broken, and he should be replaced with a better new mobile phone.

At that time, he also had a hot brain, so he decided to change his mobile phone.

But now that he was awakened by Chen Yang's words with Si Liang, he realized what a stupid mistake he had made.

Let's not talk about how bad the conditions at home are, and don't talk about the disabled brother and elderly parents. said that even if he lives alone, he should first improve his basic life as Chen Yang said, and then think about improving his quality.

Isn't it mentally retarded to spend two or three thousand yuan to buy a new mobile phone without being guaranteed food and clothing?

Alas, looking down at the new mobile phone in his hand, Lu Wenen felt a little hot.

But no matter what, this phone has been bought, it is impossible to return it, and it is impossible to break it in a rage, so I can only say that I can't do such a stupid thing in the future.

"Wenen, isn't that your mother?" said the fourth uncle suddenly.

Hearing this, Chen Yang and Lu Wenen turned their heads to look at the intersection behind them at the same time.

The intersection is a concrete one, and there are no verdant and cute little plants, and there are no small wildflowers with bright colors.

At four o'clock, the sun was still very strong, scorching the surrounding buildings and mountains mercilessly.
