The sun at 11 o'clock in the morning in early summer is very poisonous, and the shrill chirping of grass cicadas in the rice fields adds a bit of boredom to the hot weather. At this time, the people working in the fields have gone home to prepare for dinner, but Zhang Renquan, who is wearing a broken straw hat, is still in the vegetable soil in the back mountain, pulling weeds for the growing peppers and eggplants.

Although the fields and mountains and forests are coming back, the vegetable soil in front of the house and behind the house is all theirs of the eldest uncle and the second uncle, and their own home is the vegetable soil that these fathers-in-law opened up the wasteland back then. Just these vegetables in the vegetable soil, it was still Ziqiang's father-in-law who scolded people, and Brother Renquan warned the eldest uncle and the second uncle, and they were so angry that they didn't dare to eradicate it, leaving it to their two brothers and sisters.

It's not that there is no uncle to help, Uncle Xiangxiang just called them Mo Ba, and he will come to help after he finishes eating, but the stubborn Zhang Renquan politely refused, he firmly remembered what Li Jiaming said: The mountains will fall, and everyone will run. My brothers and sisters have fields, soil, mountains, hands and feet, as long as they work hard, are they afraid that they will not have enough to eat and will not be able to read?

"Brother, is it twelve o'clock?"

Zhang Renquan, who looked like a black charcoal head, wiped the beads of sweat that were about to drip into his eyes with his arms, and looked at the eggplant next to him, the shadow was just vertical and the smallest area. He couldn't afford an alarm clock, a quartz clock, an electronic watch, a mechanical watch, but books had taught him how to read the time.

"Well, are you hungry? Let's go back to eat. ”

"Hmm", the broken straw hat is still a little big, and Zhang Qi, who is soaking wet, has to raise her little face to see her brother.

As the two siblings walked down the hill, they were surprised to find smoke coming from their kitchen. That's right, the smoke curling from the broken house covered with cedar bark is the kitchen of his own house.

"Auntie!

Zhang Qi took off the broken straw hat that was in the way and ran away, so panicked that her brother hurriedly chased after her, for fear that she would fall. The two brothers and sisters ran to their own house to see that it was really their aunt who had returned, and that they were all here, and they were installing wires and lights in their halls and kitchens.

"Auntie, Brother Jiaming, Brother Mao Yan...... Wenwen".

Zhang Xiangfeng brought not many dishes, but all of them were good dishes, meat, eggs, and fish, and he also prepared dried tofu and bacon for them to take to school.

After a while, Li Jiaming, who had installed the wires and electric lights, walked into the kitchen, and the envoy Zhang Ren and the two siblings said: "Heya, chess, take a bowl and put some vegetables for your mother-in-law to eat." ”

Zhang Renhe, who was eleven years old, was more sensible, and hurriedly filled a bowl full of fatty meat, eggs, fish, and fried tofu with a vegetable bowl, but Zhang Qi, who was still playing with his little sister just now, said stubbornly: "I won't go." ”

It's not his own sister, Li Jiaming naturally won't be so strict, he smiled and stopped talking, but Zhang Xiangfeng, who was stir-frying, put down the spatula and came over to educate: "Qiqi, my mother-in-law scolded you for being wrong, but my mother-in-law also took you for five years and raised you for five years." ”

"I won't go! Don't say that my mother-in-law scolds me, even if she beats me, it doesn't matter, I just won't enter Zhang Xiangsong's door!"

It is very rude to name her in the countryside, let alone name her elders, which shows how resentful this child is towards her uncle and second uncle.

If you don't go, you won't go, Zhang Xiangfeng can't do anything with this stubborn niece, Li Jiaming is too lazy to care, and he went to wash his hands and prepare for dinner. If it weren't for his sister chasing after his aunt today, and the full sister and they also wanted to play with him, he wouldn't have come at all.

How good is it to stay home and read on such a hot day?

Li Jiaming washed his hands and listened to the movement next door, but he couldn't hear any loud noise, and he felt even more funny. It's really a wicked person who still needs a wicked person to grind, and such a fierce villager will be honest after a few days.

After a while, Zhang Renhe, who was red-faced and swollen-necked, came back with the bowl of good dishes that had not moved, and the hedgehog-like Zhang Qi snorted heavily, but when she saw Li Jiaming coming in, she lowered her head again. This child is sensitive, and she knows in her heart who treats their brothers and sisters well or not. In addition to her mother-in-law and aunt, Li Jiaming is the first good person who does not dislike their brothers and sisters and helps them from time to time.

"You feel aggrieved, don't you?"

"Hmm"

Li Jiaming smiled and joked: "The skin is not thick enough! What is this, you want to support the door and the top of the household by yourself, how can it be so easy to support the door and the top of the door?

Heya, the man who supports the door, the most important thing is that you think it is right, and don't care about what others say. Keep your mouth on others, let them speak, and you just mind your own business. ”

Mao Yan, who is almost an adult, shook the water in his hand, and teased with a smile: "He Yan, I am taller and stronger than Jiaming, if you want to fight, he can't beat me either, but he fights me, see if I still have my hands and mouths?"

Of our ten brothers, the one who knows how to read the most is Jiade, and the one who fights the most is the big dog, but Jiaming alone can support the top of the door, so everyone obeys him. If you can't stand this grievance, don't think about supporting the door. ”

"No," the black and thin Zhang Renhe squeaked and whispered: "Brother Jiaming, it's not that I can't stand it, do I think it's necessary? They don't treat our brothers and sisters as nephews and nieces, so I still have to be angry with them?"

That's the truth, according to Li Jiaming's personality, if you don't care about me, I don't want to bird you. But Zhang Renhe is not Li Jiaming, he had his father and second uncle in his previous life to shelter him from the wind and rain when he was young, and in this life he has that ability without looking at people's eyes.

But if you want Li Jiaming to explain, he is really hard to explain, some worldly words, his sisters are next to him, how can he open his mouth?

However, he couldn't open his mouth, Zhang Xiangfeng opened his mouth, and scolded in a low voice: "Stupid, you went to deliver food, and your father-in-law can see and hear it." Without their help to you, you are a little man, and you still want to take back the land, mountains and forests? You must have a conscience as a person, and you must know that you will be rewarded with Entu, and if you don't do what you say, who knows that you have a conscience?"

That's right, that's the truth, it's more appropriate to say it from your aunt's mouth than from your own mouth.

The dishes were fried, everyone ate together, and had a hearty lunch, the little sister and the full sister helped Zhang Qi wash the dishes, and finally asked his brother for an autograph.

"Sister Man, are you here to be a guest?"

"Well, if you wash the dishes, you will take the money, there is no money in chess, you have money, who will you pay out?"

Crooked!

Crooked reasoning is also reasonable, Li Jiaming signed with a smile, took a bag of fruit from the motorcycle, and went to the teacher's ass alone, Mao Yan wanted to follow and let him wave his hand to stop it, and glanced at the aunt with his eyes. Students who do not have the financial ability should not send things to the teacher, this is Teacher Wang's rule, he has this economic strength, since he has arrived at the door, can he not go to see it? Not to mention that this matter has to be finally concluded, and he has to borrow the mouth of the respected Teacher Zhang to make a name for He, he will be good if he is good, and his own family will be able to have a lot less trouble.

Reputation is a good thing, in the countryside, as long as you have a good reputation, it can be said to be a million profits!

"Wenwen, my brother went to the teacher's, why didn't you go?"

"Principal Wang said that it is forbidden for students to give gifts to teachers. ”

"Oh", Zhang Xiangfeng, who was holding the child, thought for a moment and secretly praised the wisdom of Principal Wang.

"Mao Yan, you help me hold someone, I'll go next door. ”

Mao Yanke, who had just received a hint from his cousin, knew that the two brothers next door had been locked up for seven days, so how dare he let his aunt ask for the account alone, so he hurriedly called Gui Mei to come over and pick up the child, and followed behind the aunt with a thin dog.

Zhang Xiangfeng, who was carrying a bag of food, didn't go to beg for money, but had two nephews to follow, "It's okay"

The burly and tall, but had a painful lesson, shook his head again and again, "Auntie, this is not good. The last time Jia Ming fought with Chen Hesheng, his skin was not broken, and I came back and smoked a meal. He scolded me, my brother fought, and I didn't see the figure of my brother as an older brother. Auntie, we are small surnames, our brothers can quarrel as much as they want, and they don't care about right or wrong. ”

At the age of twelve, he was only in the fourth grade, but the thin dog that had grown to one meter seven was the age when he didn't know the height of the sky, and he hurriedly said: "Auntie, when I came, my mother confessed that there is no way for my mother-in-law to beat you, if your brother dares to touch you, then I can't complain that we will do it." Don't worry, it's not us who brag, just the two of them together, Brother Mao Tong can beat them alone. ”

The words are not rough, Zhang Xiangfeng, who has not received much protection from his brother since he was a child, feels warm in his heart and is grateful for the love of his concubines.
