"What are you doing, it's almost home with me!"

Faced with Wan Rong's questioning, Xiao Mu didn't know how to explain, paused for a while, and replied softly: "What didn't you do." ”

Wan Rong said again: "Let's go, let's go home." ”

But I haven't played enough, and I haven't played anything at the end of the day, so I said, "Why don't you go back first, and I'll come back with Guo Yang later?"

Wan Vieng looked a little unhappy, "Whatever you want!" turned around and left.

At this time, there were not many people on the streets, the aunt who sold dried rice had already closed the stall and returned home, and the young men and women were long gone, leaving only the gamblers who played cards and the drunken men.

It seems that the New Year is still more adult-friendly, and there is nothing fun for children.

Xiao Mu and Guo Yang went around for a few more laps, and the people had completely dispersed, so they returned home.

Xiao Mu, who returned home, was afraid that Wan Rong would say about himself, so he didn't talk to Wan Rong and walked directly to Zhang Laohan's side.

"Grandpa, have you eaten?"

Zhang Laohan saw that it was Xiao Mu, so he said: "Oh, you're back, have fun, let's go eat, we've already eaten." ”

After speaking, he put the pipe in his mouth, went to the house and carried the food out to Xiao Mu, "Come, hurry up, let's eat." ”

Xiao Mu, who has been playing all day, may also be hungry, and picking up the dishes and chopsticks is to gobble it up.

Zhang Laohan looked at Xiao Mu's eating appearance, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, "You eat slowly, be careful of choking." ”

Then he asked, "Well, did you still have fun today?"

Xiao Mu stopped and glanced at the ceiling, in his opinion, it didn't feel like it was fun, but he thought that if he said it wasn't fun, Zhang Laohan would be sad, or he wouldn't let himself go out to play tomorrow, so he said to Zhang Laohan: "It's fun, there are a lot of villagers, and there are a lot of friends who are about the same age as me, it's fun." ”

Zhang Laohan laughed, "Hahaha, you kid, just be happy." ”

At this time, Wan Rong walked in, and then Zhang Laohan walked out.

Wan Rong stared at Xiao Mu fiercely and reprimanded him severely: "Xiao Mu, what do you say about playing cards this morning?"

Xiao Mu looked flustered and hesitated, "I just played poker, and I didn't play either, I just watched them play." ”

Wan Rong felt that Xiao Mu was lying, so he went out to find a stick, pointed at Xiao Mu and asked, "If you don't say it, you're afraid that your skin is itchy." ”

But Xiao Mu had already told the truth, and he didn't know how Wan Rong would believe in himself, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and didn't dare to continue eating.

Wan Rong threatened again: "Do you say it or not, don't say that I really beat it this time!"

Xiao Mu was like a child who had made a mistake, lowered his head and whispered: "I really didn't play, I just helped them let go, not for you to ask them." ”

Looking at Xiao Mu who was about to cry, Wan Rong was still suspicious, and stared at Xiao Mu for a long time.

"Then I'll trust you for the time being, if this happens again next time, it won't be so simple!"

He took the stick out, went back to the house, and said, "Eat quickly, I won't talk about you." With that, he went back to his room.

But at this time, where was Xiao Mu still in the mood to eat, he was very happy, but he was tossed by Wan Rong like this, and his appetite was completely lost.

But he didn't dare to waste the food in the bowl, so he didn't eat it again after eating the meal with tears in his eyes, put the leftovers back in the cupboard, and washed the dishes and chopsticks.

wiped away the tears that were about to fall, ran to the kitchen, squatted down and leaned on Zhang Laohan's thigh.

"What are you doing, you have no bones, or are you tired of playing?"

Xiao Mu raised his head fiercely, looked at Zhang Laohan with bared teeth and said, "No, I'm not sleepy or tired." ”

Turning his head to start the fire, the fire pit crackled, it was quiet, there was no word, and it looked a little awkward.

"Hey, Xiao Mu, what did you play today?" asked Zhang Laohan.

"Forehead ......"

"I didn't play anything today, I just went to Guo Yang's house in the morning and waited for him for a long time before he got up ......"

Xiao Mu and Zhang Laohan repeated the process.

"Oh, by the way, don't you say I forgot, buy a few bowls of dried rice tomorrow and come back to eat, your grandmother loves to eat." ”

Xiao Mu opened his palm, stretched out his hand in front of Zhang Laohan and said, "Take the money, give me the money and I will buy it, otherwise I won't have the money to buy it." ”

"How much is a bowl?"

Xiao Mu turned his palm up, "Five cents a bowl, no more, no less, there are plenty of flavorful condiments, it is worth tasting." ”

Zhang Laohan smiled: "You think I don't know how delicious it is, I used to go to eat it every year, but I have been old for a few years and rarely go." ”

"Wait, I'll give you money tomorrow morning, and I'll buy three bowls and come back. ”

Xiao Mu nodded again and again.

The next day, Xiao Mu suffered yesterday's loss and waited for Guo Yang for so long, so he was lazy and didn't get up early until the old man told him to get up.

got up, washed, and squatted at the door with the rice balls, basking in the sun.

"Xiao Mu, Xiao Mu, let's go, let's play. ”

Guo Yang's call came from behind, and he muttered in a low voice: "I'll go, why is Guo Yang so early today, wasn't it very late yesterday?"

"I heard it, you come down, it's still early, I'm still eating breakfast, you come down to my house and sit down. ”

Guo Yang didn't respond, and ran down directly.

"Oh, you weren't very early yesterday, why did you eat breakfast today?"

Xiao Mu glanced at Guo Yang, "It's because I got up early yesterday so I got up late today, otherwise I have to wait for you again, now it's okay, it's time for you to wait for me." ”

Xiao Mu went to Guo Yang in the house and took a stool, "Come, sit here, have you eaten early, do you want to try my family's rice balls?"

Xiao Mu thought that Guo Yang would refuse, but he didn't expect Guo Yang to be completely different from himself, he actually agreed.

So Xiao Mu went to the house and mixed a bowl of rice balls for Guo Yang, and handed it to Guo Yang, "Here, be careful of scalding, taste it well, my family's rice balls are different from yours." ”

Guo Yang tasted one and felt harder than his own, so he asked: "Why does your rice balls feel a little hard, different from mine, my is softer and glutinous." ”

Guo Yang was triumphant, "You don't know this, my glutinous rice balls are made by a mixture of chestnut grain and glutinous rice, which is different from yours, and of course the taste is different." ”

But it should only be a little harder, and the other differences should not be big, Guo Yang finished eating a big bowl full of them, and he burped after eating.

"Well, is it delicious?"

Guo Yang stroked the round belly and said, "Ah! ”

"Do you still want to eat?" Xiao Mu asked as he stared at Guo Yang.

Guo Yang was not embarrassed to eat any more, after all, he had already eaten a big bowl, and if he ate it again, Xiao Mu would have to laugh himself to death.

He shook his hand and refused Xiao Mu and said, "No, no, I'm already full, don't you see that my belly is so round?"

Gently patting their bellies, the two couldn't help but smile.
