Chapter 451: Thoughts
The old man squatted next to the child with a smile, stretched out his hand to stroke the head of a little baby, and praised everyone repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I also know how to oil things when baking!" ”
At this time, a little girl opened her mouth: "We learned from my cousin and grandmother, and the things she baked are delicious!" ”
The cousin and grandmother in the girl's mouth are naturally Hang Chen's girl, Wen Xu felt that Hang Chen hadn't been gone for a few days, and there were people in the village who missed her, which was really unexpected. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The old man just asked, and when the old man saw these children in the village, he subconsciously came over to tease him. In the past, the old man lived in his own yard, and there were children around, and he was at most a boast, because the children who could appear near the yard where the old man lived, none of them were ordinary people, and now the atmosphere is like this, everyone sees their children as treasures, and they see it strictly, like the children in the previous courtyard can still get together to play, and gang up everywhere, now everyone is playing their own games, and the children are becoming more and more selfish, and the old man is also afraid of what others have behind their backs. For example, I think my hands are dirty and so on, so I don't tease too much.
But the babies in Wenjia Village are different, seeing these children can't help but remind him of the scene when he was a child and played with his friends, although everyone was poor at that time and didn't even have a pair of pants, but the roasted locusts were still done, but they didn't have to brush the oil like these little guys now, sprinkle what chili powder, pepper and the like, they didn't talk about oil at that time, and the family didn't have oil a few times a year.
And these little faces are covered with black ash, and the children who look funny also remind the old man of the old days, his favorite eldest son when he was a child, many times he was caught by himself not going to school, and then he was hung up with a belt and smoked.
Thinking of his eldest son, the old man couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in his heart, these days the old man has thought more than once that his eldest son would be better if he was still alive. If he were alive, he wouldn't have to deal with his children and grandchildren.
Thinking about it, the old man's eyes couldn't help but be a little confused.
"Grandpa, eat one!"
Just when the old man was thinking about this, he suddenly heard a crisp child's voice in his ear, looked down, and saw a girl with two small tugging, stretching out her black little hands, pinching a roasted golden grasshopper and putting it in front of him.
The little girl saw the old man looking at her, and said with a concerned face: "It's delicious!" You won't stop laughing when you eat it! ”
The old man looked at the little girl's innocent eyes, and couldn't help but smile and took the grasshopper: "Thank you!" ”
"Boss!"
Seeing that the old man was going to eat the grasshopper, the middle-aged secretary immediately spoke out to stop it, the grasshopper didn't say the problem of whether it was ripe or not, only said that it was worn on the wicker, and then got some oil to burn on the fire, in the secretary's opinion, hygiene is a big problem.
The old man waved his hand: "I'm not so expensive, I think I ate all the glutinous rice when I was herding cattle for people, and I didn't eat less of this thing when I was marching and fighting!" If God wants to take it away, it can be any day! ”
After speaking, the old man pinched the grasshopper in his hand and touched the little girl's hand: "Come!" ”
After speaking, he threw the grasshopper directly into his mouth, and then chewed it, and while chewing, he couldn't stop making a delicious sound: "It's delicious, it's delicious, you bake it so well!" ”
Hearing the old man's praise, the little girl's two little eyes were almost out of sight, since the old man said that he loved to eat, the little girl directly handed the remaining grasshoppers on the wicker string to the old man, and said crisply: "Grandpa eat!" ”
"Grandpa won't eat it! Grandpa just eats, you can eat" The old man knew that he had no problem eating one or two, but if he ate all of them, it was estimated that there would be a problem.
After all, it's not decades ago, let alone the war years before, and my own stomach can't stand such a toss.
Wen Xu was interested in the fish grilled on the shelves of the little children, picked up a small branch, picked up the skin of the fish that had been roasted and was a little browned, revealing the white fish inside, pinched a piece directly with his hand, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
"The salt head is okay, it's just a little cooked!"
Wen Xu tasted it and found that the fish was a little too grilled, the fish meat was not juicy, a little firewood, and the care was not too good, and the earthy smell was still quite strong. Of course, for some teenagers, it's good to be able to do this. The children eat, mainly lively, just like the little pig, the more they rush to eat, and the less they don't eat.
Hearing Wen Xu say this, Da Shi and Yuan Bo immediately took the grilled fish off the shelf, and Da Leizi was very polite and put a fish directly in front of Wen Xu and the old man.
"Eat, I'm full!"
The old man didn't expect Da Lei to have such an action, such a young child knew to give the fish to the old man, and immediately felt a little moved, his own great-grandson didn't know to do this! It looks a little bigger than Da Lei.
The old man doesn't know, Wenjia Village generally has a rule in the family, that is, the old people don't go to the table and don't move the chopsticks, and the younger generations can't move.
"Alright, don't give it to us, you can eat it yourself! Let's go," Wen Xu said, and stood up.
As soon as Wen Xu stood up here, the old man also wanted to stand up, but after all, he was old, and he was a little dizzy after squatting for a while, so the middle-aged secretary and bodyguard immediately stepped forward to help.
"Oh, it's old!"
The old man who stood up glanced at the children in a circle, and wished that he was such an age now, Chenghuan's parents were on their knees, playing with their friends all day long.
Just when the old man was envious of these children, Wen Xu stopped, turned to Da Lei and asked, "Da Leizi, why didn't Niu Niu and Coco play with you?" ”
"Uncle, Niu Niu and Coco have gone back to their hometown! But I'll be back soon, I heard that his father and mother are going to send her to the village to go to kindergarten," Da Leizi immediately replied.
Wen Xu heard him say this, so he replied: "No wonder I haven't been home for a long time!" Alright, you guys play."
After walking out of the forest with the old man, he sat back on the cow, and Wen Xu looked at the sun overhead: "Old man, if we don't get here today, it's not too early, and the temperature will be high soon, we are nothing, and the two of them really don't have to bear it."
The old man looked at it, nodded and said, "Then go back!" ”
So the group of four went back to the village, and when they returned to the village, they were much faster, because they turned around at will, and they didn't get too far from the trees, and they returned to the village in a little more than half an hour.
"Tomorrow morning?" After the old man got off the cow, the first thing he said was to ask about the itinerary tomorrow morning.
Wen Xu smiled: "I have no opinion, but I think you should find a means of transportation." Otherwise, you go to the village committee and ask, last time a group of people bought livestock thrown here, you go to see if there are any people brought into the old forest, if there is a horse you hire, then ask someone to borrow a trailer, although it is a little ugly, but it is better than two legs! ”
Wen Xu was talking about the cattle that Old Man Jia used to enter the old forest, if there is, let them say something, whether it is borrowed or hired, so that it will be much better for the four of them to go out tomorrow.
"Where?" The old man immediately asked.
"You go to the village committee! It's the small building with several floors at the head of the village, and you can see the sign over there, it's easy to find! Wen Xu was afraid that the old man would use a road blind as an excuse to pull him there, and at this time Wen Xu really didn't want to run to the entrance of the village.
I don't know that the old man didn't mean this, he said this yesterday because he wanted to get in touch with Wen Xu, if it comes to finding a way, the three Wen Xu tied together are not as good as the cold young guards.
"Good!" The middle-aged secretary looked at the old man and nodded, indicating that he knew.
So just like that, the old man and Wen Xu said goodbye, left the courtyard and walked all the way to the homestay.
Wen Xu went back to the house and took a bath, getting rid of the smell of sweat on his body, although there was a shed to block it, but Wen Xu still sweated a lot, and the smell of his body was uncomfortable without taking a bath.
At noon, I got a little food at random, and after eating, Wen Xu made himself a pot of tea, and went to the courtyard of the old man's house.
"Old man!"
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw that the old man was hunched over and wearing a straw hat and trimming the flower branches, so Wen Xu smiled and quipped, "Do you know how to repair it?" ”
Old Man Chi glanced at Wen Xu: "How much can I compare with you?" That's how I studied plants! ”
After speaking, he straightened his waist, stretched out his hands and rubbed his waist, and asked Wen Xu: "I heard that you went out with an old gentleman early in the morning, which way is the fairy?" ”
"I don't know!" After speaking, Wen Xu told him what he thought was the acquaintance of Old Man Shi.
The old man listened and said: "I met him once, and I feel that this old man is not simple, and he has a temperament that has been in the top position for a long time."
"I guess it's probably the big boss of any company!" Where could Wen Xu have thought that this was Shi Shangzhen's grandfather, and he would also become his grandfather, he always thought that this old man was the big boss of a company, the kind of big capitalist with a lot of money. Didn't think about officialdom at all.
Wen Xu didn't even think that a retired mayor would go to Wenjia Village to make up for it, and now that Wenjia Village is famous, it is quite remarkable to attract a few big sums of money, relying on word of mouth. Besides, the gentlemen are almost all pearls, and the nearest one is the mayor of Mingzhu, what level is the mayor of Mingzhu, and where will he run here. Besides, even if the mayor of Mingzhu comes, it is also an examination and study, followed by large and small cameras, where will there be such a small number of people.
After speaking, Wen Xu took out a small bag from his pocket: "Old man, the best red robe!" ”
As soon as he heard the best red robe, Old Man Chi immediately put down the scissors in his hand, took off his gloves and ran over and took them carefully: "Really fake?" ”
"How do I know, but it should really be the majority, and the old man probably can't do shoddy things!" Wen Xu wanted to believe Old Man Shi's words.
The old man took the bag, sniffed it carefully and said a word: "Like!" ”
Wen Xu, who was provoked, rolled his eyes: "Naturally, it's like it!" ”
"Alright, hurry up and clean up, let's kill two plates!" Wen Xu said.
Old Man Chi waved his hand and said: "It's not okay today, I have something to do in the afternoon, I made an appointment with a few people, and I set off into the forest at three o'clock, and I won't be at home for the next four days!" ”
"What are you doing in there?" Wen Xu said.
"The new tree species found over there, I naturally want to go and see it!" Old Man Chi said.
When Wen Xu heard this, he immediately said: "That's okay, you're busy with you, I'll go back and sleep!" ”
"Don't go yet, I've got what you want here!" After the old man Chi finished speaking, he motioned to Wen Xu to wait, and then he went into the house and took out a small flower pot, and there was a tomato planted in the flower pot, this tomato bore several fruits, and the others were normal, only one was purple, the color of deep purple and dark purple, which was different from the ripe Xihong City.
"Yo, where did this come from?" Wen Xu looked interested.
"Wen Guangming's shed, I didn't hear that you wanted these strange things, so I moved them to you, and I came here when you weren't there in the morning."
"Yes, yes, it's finally rewarding!" Wen Xu said happily.
During this time, the plan to accompany the new plants in the cozy space has not been going very smoothly.
To be honest, since the last time I tried it and failed, Wen Xu's interest in cultivating new varieties has dropped a lot, and I don't know if it's luck or what, I haven't been able to get a satisfactory new variety.
