A red-brick house stands next to the country road, with a large water tank in front of it and neat bundles of dry firewood stacked on the other side. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info looks exceptionally neat, on the opposite side of the house, oh, that is, on the other side of the road. It is a forest, and the crisp pine forest is very beautiful. A few green loquat trees grow in it at will, and you can see a few green bamboos from time to time.

"Xiao Liu, here, this is Xia Jianguo's house."

Liu Xiaoming looked at the scene in front of him, and immediately felt that the owner of this house was a person who loved cleanliness. When he walked to the door, Gao Changfu didn't knock on the door, and walked in with Liu Xiaoming with a big grin.

"Lao Xia, I don't have it at home, I'll bring you business."

The room is a little dim, maybe it's the direction of the square, and the sunlight is not good to shine in. There was a fire in the corner, which was made up of some dry firewood. The bright flame added some light to it.

As soon as the words fell, I saw a middle-aged man in a blue tunic walking out. His eyes are bright, but his face is honest.

"Changfu?? Why did you have time to come to me, I didn't pick up today. ”

This person is Xia Jianguo, and his voice is very loud.

Gao Changfu didn't explain his question, but just pointed at Liu Xiaoming and said: "Lao Xia, this is Boss Xiao Liu, who came to our village to harvest corn, and asked for a large amount. The rest of the people in the village are ready to take the pulse, and I think there should be quite a few more in your family, so I brought him over to ask. ”

"Oh!!"

Xia Jianguo was very surprised, in fact, he saw Liu Xiaoming as soon as he came out, just because the other party seemed to be really young, he thought it was a relative of Gao Changfu's family, and he didn't pay too much attention.

"Hello Uncle Xia, my name is Liu Xiaoming."

Hearing this, Xia Jianguo didn't do much enthusiasm, but just beckoned the two to sit on the edge of the fire. Seeing that Xia Jianguo was a little indifferent, Liu Xiaoming was also surprised in his heart.

"You old Xia, why is everything like this. Anyway, you have so much corn, think about it, last year you moved away Qian Jinming's land also planted, plus your own at least seven or eight thousand catties. You don't need it that much, so it's better to sell it than to leave it at home and be trampled by rats. ”

When Liu Xiaoming heard this, he also hurriedly took over.

"That's right, Uncle Xia. Moreover, the prices I give are all fair prices, and I will definitely not let you suffer. ”

Although after talking about the price, Xia Jianguo's expression changed a little, but he still didn't make a sound. Seeing this, Liu Xiaoming finally knew why when he came over just now, Gao Changfu would say that this Xia Jianguo was a little weird.

He didn't open his mouth at all, and since he entered the room, he said two words, and the rest of the time you said he listened. Liu Xiaoming looked at Gao Changfu speechlessly, and the other party also shook his head to express helplessness.

"Uncle Xia, are you not satisfied with anything, the price is sent to the door, which is already a very high price. Moreover, it is you who bring the scales to the weighing, and you will not cheat, and even if you pay the price after the scale, you will not be owed a penny on credit. ”

Liu Xiaoming said a lot, but the other party did not react at all, and the bright firelight shone on Xia Jianguo's face, which seemed to be very embarrassing at this time.

"Ahem..."

Seeing this, Gao Changfu also had to speak out.

"Lao Xia, do you sell or not, you always say something, people still have something to do. If you want me to say, it's time to change your stinky habits, every time you come, it's like a stuffy gourd. ”

Xia Jianguo didn't pay attention to Gao Changfu's words, but just turned around and went out the door. Seeing that the other party suddenly turned around and went out, Liu Xiaoming was extremely surprised.

"Uncle Gao, he is..."

Uncle Gao seemed to be used to it, and said indifferently: "It's okay, he went out to get firewood, and it's burned here." ”

Seeing this, Liu Xiaoming was relieved. Sure enough, after a while, Gao Changfu came in with a bundle of dry firewood. Put it on the edge of the fire, pick up a few sticks of dry wood and throw them in. Suddenly, the fire was in full bloom.

At this time, Liu Xiaoming noticed that on the top of the fire, there were more than a dozen pieces of black bacon. This is the method of making bacon in the countryside, after smearing it with salt, it is directly roasted over an open flame for a period of time, then smoked with wet pine trees, and then smoked with an open flame at the end, so that it can be repeated several times to ensure that it will not be bad no matter how long it takes.

"Oh, what do you mean when I said Lao Xia, I can be angry like this, teacher."

When the words fell, Xia Jianguo, who had been silent, spoke. It's just that it was said to Liu Xiaoming, and the question was very strange.

"You're going to raise pigs."

Although Liu Xiaoming was surprised, when he saw that the other party had spoken, he naturally hurriedly answered.

"Yes, it's Zhang Daqing's pig farm in the past."

"How much are you going to raise?"

"Five or six hundred."

"Okay, I can sell it to you and send it over tomorrow."

Liu Xiaoming didn't expect the rhythm of the conversation to be so fast, and the time of a few words was determined. However, since the other party agrees to sell, it is naturally a good thing.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the pig farm tomorrow, and you can bring your own scales when the time comes."

“...”

There was no sound again, as if it wasn't the same person who had just spoken.

"Hahaha, okay, Xiao Liu, this Lao Xia is like this, just get used to it. Since he said that he will send it to you tomorrow, he will definitely send it to you tomorrow. In that case, my family will also send you tomorrow, just together. ”

Liu Xiaoming looked at Xia Jianguo, who was silently adding firewood, and gave up continuing to speak.

"Okay, I'll wait for the two uncles tomorrow."

"Okay, since it's decided, let's go over and eat now, I guess your aunt has already cooked the meal. Lao Xia, let's go. ”

"Hmm...."

The food at the farmhouse is very rough, but it is extraordinarily fragrant. A large plate of stewed pork knuckle vermicelli, together with home-grown potatoes and cabbage and other vegetables, looks particularly appetizing.

"Come on, Xiao Liu, eat more of this pig's feet, we rural people, we don't have anything good to entertain you, this can make some of our own food, don't dislike it."

Regarding Gao Changfu's words, Liu Xiaoming's answer was vague, because at this moment, he was already immersed in the nothing in front of him.

"Shout (uncle), don't say that, this is... Belch.... This is the best meal I've had in this time, and the other day I had some instant noodles and biscuits or something. ”

Looking at Liu Xiaoming, who was gobbling up, Aunt Gao smiled on her face. For a woman in the countryside, you recognize her cooking, as if you recognize her as a person. Subsequently, when I heard that Liu Xiaoming had been eating instant noodles, I felt very sorry for this child.

"Xiao Ming, come, eat more."

After speaking, he picked up a piece of meat and put it in Liu Xiaoming's bowl. Gao Changfu was holding a small glass, which was filled with loose wine and a fresh fragrance of corn.

"Xiao Liu, do you want to come two taels, this wine is a good thing."

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoming hurriedly shook his head.

"I don't drink this thing, uncle, come by yourself, I can eat meat."

"Hahaha, okay, then you eat meat, eat more."

The peasant family never needs you to be polite. On the contrary, people of true temperament are more able to trust them. Therefore, if you are in the countryside, you should not be polite, the more polite you are, the more difficult it is to walk.

When you are full of wine and food, it is already the sunset in the west.

"Uncle Gao, I'm leaving, you can send the corn over tomorrow."

"Okay, don't worry."

After speaking, the roar of a motorcycle sounded. Then, on the dirt road in the countryside, a blue motorcycle sped away.

The golden sun is shining brightly, as if the scene of early spring is particularly charming.
