Chapter 5 Uncle's Family

When it was just dawn, Yuan Anping was woken up by the sound of a rooster crowing. He was so annoyed that he covered his ears with the quilt and continued to sleep, and soon fell asleep again. When he woke up again, it was the time of the three poles of the sun. But there was nothing to do in the winter, and he didn't have much to do, and he didn't have anything to do late.

I didn't want to eat rice for breakfast, so Yuan Anping made a pot of noodle soup to drink, and it was good to eat with vegetables. He is a northerner and is used to eating pasta, so he really wants to eat steamed buns, but unfortunately he can't do it.

After breakfast, I took out the frozen chicken in the bucket. He had cut one-third of this chicken with a knife and kept it, leaving the head and feet of the chicken. He remembered that there was a bamboo basket in the utility room, so he went and took it out, rinsed it with water, and put the chicken in the basket. The basket happened to have a lid, and when it was closed, no one could see the contents.

It's just that after leaving the gate, there is still a problem to be solved, that is, he doesn't know where his uncle's house is! I thought that I could only go to the village first and talk about it when I met people.

Walking all the way, Yuan Anping paid attention to the people he met on the road, and didn't dare to ask for the address of his uncle's house. As he was walking, he saw a familiar figure at the gate of a courtyard. He walked over, "You're Chubby, aren't you?" ”

That's right, what Yuan Anping saw was the youngest and chubby little guy among the children who bullied Huo Xiaohan before.

Xiao Chubby Dun was squatting at the door of his house to entertain himself, and suddenly heard a very unfamiliar voice calling himself, but when he looked up and saw that it was Yuan Anping, he immediately cracked his mouth, "Brother Anping!" "Ever since he saw Yuan Anping win Brother Lizi, he has especially admired Yuan Anping. Although Li Zi has never bullied him and is very good to him, he just admires Yuan Anping, so he sees Yuan Anping's special enthusiasm.

Yuan Anping saw the little guy's smiling face, and heard him call his brother in a childish voice, and felt that children should be so pleasing, like the ones he met before, it was really unpleasant.

Yuan Anping smiled and said, "Little Chubby Dun, my brother has a question for you." ”

Xiao Chubby Dun immediately patted his chest, "Brother Anping, if you ask, I will definitely sue you." ”

Yuan Anping nodded and expressed his satisfaction, "How about accompanying me to my uncle's house, if you want to accompany me, please eat something delicious at noon." ”

As soon as he heard that there was something delicious, Xiao Chubby Dun immediately nodded violently like a chicken eating rice, "Okay, okay, I'll go with you." After speaking, he raised his voice at the door of his house and shouted in a very excited voice, "Mother, I'm going to play!" Then he took Yuan Anping's hand and rushed.

Yuan Anping smiled helplessly, "Fat Dun slow down, don't be in a hurry." Let you go ahead and lead the way. ”

Fat Dun slowed down his pace when he heard this, walked happily in front, and asked Yuan Anping some questions from time to time.

"Brother Anping, what are you doing at your uncle's house? Do you want to play with Brother Pillar? ”

Yuan Anping shook his head, "I'll go and bring some food to my uncle." ”

Fat Dun listened to some questions, "I heard Brother Li Zi and them say, you eat your uncle's things, why do you have food for your uncle?" ”

Yuan Anping smiled, "I picked up a frozen chicken when I went up the mountain to chop firewood yesterday, so I planned to send some to my uncle's family." ”

Little Fat Dun is particularly smart about eating, "Chicken! Brother Anping, do you want to invite me to eat chicken as delicious? ”

Yuan Anping rubbed his little head, "Yes, please eat chicken." ”

Little Fat Dun immediately shouted happily, "Wow, great, great, Brother Anping is going to invite me to eat chicken." ”

Yuan Anping saw that someone was looking at him, and immediately said to Xiao Fat Dun: "Don't shout, let others know, you won't be able to eat." ”

As soon as he heard that he couldn't eat chicken, Xiao Chubby Dun immediately covered his mouth and looked at Yuan Anping.

Yuan Anping was amused by his childlike appearance, "Don't worry, I'll give you food." Let's go, by the way, Fat Dun, what's your name? ”

Fat Dun looked puzzled, "It's called Fat Dun." ”

Yuan Anping knew that the kid might not understand, so he asked, "Do you have any other names?" ”

Fat Dun immediately said: "Yes, I have two names. Then he looked sè, "One is called Fat Dun, and the other is called Yuan Xiaopan." My dad said he named me because I was going to eat chubby. After speaking, he smiled with his small chest.

Yuan Anping was speechless in his heart, but think about how many people's dreams are that for these people who are always worried about lack of food and not enough to eat, it is the dream of many people to be fat. Therefore, he also expressed his praise for Fat Dun, that is, the name of Yuan Xiaopang, and Yuan Xiaopang smiled again. However, Xiao Fat Dun's surname is also Yuan, which makes Yuan Anping feel close.

The two didn't walk long before they arrived at the door of Uncle Yuan Anping's house. Yuangensheng's house is also an earthen house, but the yard is much larger than his house. The courtyard door was open, and Yuan Anping stood outside the courtyard and hesitated for a moment and walked in with Fat Dun.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Yuan Anping saw two teenagers, one looked older than him, and the other was about the same age as himself. The big one smiled when he saw him, while the little one looked visibly bored. Yuan Anping didn't know them, and he didn't know how to open his mouth.

The older boy greeted Yuan Anping with a smile, "Anping, you're here." ”

The younger one said in a vicious voice: "Didn't you say that you won't come to my house in the future, why did you come again?" I want to ask our family for something again! ”

The older boy immediately frowned and reprimanded, "Second brother! ”

The young boy saw that his brother was about to get angry, so he didn't say anything, but still glared at Yuan Anping. Yuan Anping didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Fat Dun helped him, and before Yuan Anping could speak, Fat Dun opened his mouth to call first, "Brother Zhuzi, Brother Shi." After he finished calling the people, he said to the younger boy, "Brother Shi, Brother Anping is not here to ask you for something, he is here to bring you chicken to eat." ”

If you pass the guò fat dun, Yuan Anping knows that the older one is called a pillar, and the smaller one is called a stone. When Fat Dun finished speaking, he handed the basket to the pillar, "I picked up a frozen pheasant on the mountain and brought some to you." ”

The pillar didn't answer, "Anping, you can keep it for yourself, you should really make up for it if you're so thin." "Yuan Anping has a feeling that he can be blown away by the wind, but fortunately his spirit seems to be very good, otherwise it is really worrying.

The stone was not happy to hear this, and snatched it up, "Why not, he has eaten so many things from our family, and it is appropriate to send us chickens." ”

Zhu Zi is really angry, can he not know how many things Yuan Anping ate from their family, what the stone said is a little excessive. He knew that because his family was also in difficulty, he couldn't eat enough every day, and he complained about his father giving Anping the food to the stone, but it was too much to treat Anping like this, "Stone!" ”

The stone knew that the eldest brother was really angry, but he still wanted to leave the chicken, "Brother, isn't the younger brother thin, anyway, I want to keep the chicken." So saying, he turned and took his things into the house.

The pillar was so angry that he wanted to chase after him, but Yuan Anping immediately grabbed him, "Brother Zhuzi, I will definitely not take it back if I bring it." Uncle has helped me a lot, I can't eat alone, just stay, the child still has to dip some oil and water. ”

Zhu Zi sighed, he also felt sorry for his younger brothers and sisters, and didn't say anything more.

Maybe it's for the sake of the chicken's face, and the stone's attitude towards Yuan Anping is better. Yuan Anping doesn't care, it's a stranger anyway, what is his attitude, and he doesn't do anything about himself.

Taking back the basket, Yuan Anping was about to leave, but the pillar hurriedly stopped people, "Anping, let's eat at home at noon, my father and mother are coming back soon, you go into the house and sit down." ”

Yuan Anping immediately politely refused: "There is still a fire in my house, and I want to send this little guy back, next time, next time we will eat together." As he spoke, he pulled the fat dun and walked out.

The pillar saw that he was bent on leaving, but he had no choice but to let him go. When Anping went out, he immediately lowered his face and said to the stone who was happy because he had meat to eat, "Come in for me!" ”

Shi saw that his eldest brother was going to train himself again, and he didn't know if he would do it, although he had meat to eat, he was still a little depressed.

On the way back, Fat Dun was in high spirits, chattering all the way, and the overall thought was that Brother Shi was really annoying, how could he say that Brother Anping.

As if thinking of something, Fat Dun said with some doubts: "I listened to my mother," and suddenly remembered what Yuan Anping had said, and he immediately changed his words, "No, I didn't listen to my mother, I know it myself." ”

Yuan Anping sneered, "What are you going to say, Fat Dun?" ”

Fat Dun scratched his face and asked a little puzzled: "Brother Zhuzi's family grows an acre of land in your family, shouldn't their family send you some food?" Why is Brother Shi unhappy? Could it be Brother Anping, you are too good to eat. But how can you be so thin, how can you eat so much? ”

Yuan Anping asked curiously: "My family's acre of land was planted for the uncle?" ”

Fat Dun nodded, "yes." ”

"Maybe it's because the harvest is not good, there is not much food to be beaten, and I eat too much." Yuan Anping didn't care much, the grain production in ancient times was very low, and the taxes here were high.

Yuan Anping said: "Fat Dun, I'll test you, do you know how many children my uncle's family has?" What are their names? ”

Fat Dun immediately said confidently: "There are five children, there are Brother Zhuzi, Sister Xiaoyu, Brother Shi, Brother Dahe, and Brother Xiaohe." ”

Yuan Anping immediately smiled and said, "Fat Dun is really amazing, I got it right." Brother Anping asks you another question, do you know what my father's name is? ”

Fat Dun thought for a moment and shook his head, "Brother Anping, I don't know about this." ”

Yuan Anping was not surprised, after all, children can't call adults by their names, and it's normal not to know. "It's okay if you don't know, let's talk about the rest. Do you know what it's called? ”

Fat Dun nodded, "I know, it's called Grandpa Li." I also know that Brother Li's grandfather is called Great-Grandpa Li's second uncle. ”

Yuan Anping came to his senses, "That horizontal boy is the same as his family." What's your name as Brother Li? ”

"Brother Li Zi's name is Li Zi, which is the name his grandfather gave him, and I hope that he will be literate and hyphenated in the future and become a learned person. It's just that Brother Li's family is too poor to afford to go to a private school. The little guy sighed as he spoke. In ancient times, poor families could not afford to go to school, let alone provide for scholars.

After sending the little fat dun to the door of the house, and instructing him to come to his house for lunch, he went back to his house. He can't cook, so he doesn't plan to use fried ones, but prepares to boil chicken soup. As for boiling chicken soup, it naturally takes a little more time.
