After solving his grandmother's affairs, Shi Mo went home happily with millet cake, and while his grandmother went out to pick vegetables in the vegetable garden, Shi Mo completed his package transfer plan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Shi Mo believes that it is impossible for grandma to find that pesticides have been dropped by herself in the short term, after all, it is almost November, and the weather is getting cooler, basically will not use pesticides to kill insects, and she will be diligent and strive to come over every day to check, hoping that grandma can survive this difficulty and live a long life.
"Shi Mo, where did you go, Yu Ming came to play with you, you are not at home." As soon as Shi Mo entered the door, his grandmother asked with a face.
"I went to my grandmother's house, give, this is the millet cake that my grandmother asked me to bring back." Shi Mo handed the millet cake in his hand to his grandmother.
"You're not young anymore, you're about to turn eight and you're going to be nine years old, you have to learn from your brother, don't run around all day long, help the family work, do you hear?" Grandma Shi Mo took the millet cake and said critically.
"Got it, grandma, I'm going to help cook pig food now, don't nag you when you keep talking." Shi Mo shook his head and said.
"You stinky boy, the pig food has already been cooked, and you will go with your brother to feed the pigs." Grandma Shi Mo scolded with a smile.
"De Ling, go right away, oh, by the way, did Grandma Yu Ming say anything to me?" Shi Mo asked puzzled.
"Didn't say anything! It's just to come and have fun and see you. Grandma Shi Mo said.
"It's weird, what is she looking for me!" Shi Mo scratched his head and said.
"You can go to school tomorrow and ask her, now hurry up and help your brother feed the pigs." Grandma Shi Mo pointed to the kitchen and said domineeringly.
"Roger." After speaking, Shi Mo ran into the kitchen, and the strange appearance of the elf caused his grandmother to chuckle.
Shi Mo entered the kitchen and found Shi Qian holding a spatula and beating pig food into the wooden bucket.
"Brother, I'll help you." Shi Mo walked over, consciously took the wooden barrel in Shi Qian's hand, and said with a smile.
"Enough fun? You know when you're done, don't you? Shi Qian rolled his eyes at him and said gloatingly.
"It's so serious, I'm done?" Shi Mo said with a look of disdain.
"Do you know what Yu Ming came here for today?" Shi Qian whispered mysteriously.
"What?" Shi Mo asked suspiciously.
"She said that she didn't admit the doll that her father set at that time, because she studied a year later than you, and she was in the second grade this year, and you were still wandering in the first grade, and her classmates laughed at her." Shi Qian said softly as if he was afraid that others would hear it.
"What should I do? If you don't count, you don't count! What's the big deal. Shi Mo said indifferently.
"Shhh, be quiet, I didn't tell my grandparents about this, they don't know yet, if you let them know, I'm afraid your ass will have to be hit again." Shi Qian held up a finger and said with a shhh.
"Oh, my life is really bitter, why does the old man take this kind of thing so seriously, or hello brother, there is no such thing as a doll kiss." Shi Mo said nonchalantly.
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, you'd better talk to Yu Ming yourself, let your grandparents know that because of your repetition, others don't want this doll to kiss, and you will have to bear it then." Shi Qian put down the spatula, carried the barrel of pig food with Shi Mo, and said as he walked.
"Got it, let's feed the pigs." Shi Mo answered, and happily accompanied Shi Qian to the toilet in the back mountain.
In the past, in the countryside, the thatched latrines of each family were built in the back mountains or open spaces that were far away from the houses, with the pigsty behind the latrines in front and a thatched pit below, and pig manure and human manure accumulated in the thatched pits, which became a good fertilizer for growing crops.
At this time in the countryside, every household has pigs, stay until the New Year, killing pigs is also a very lively thing, of course, poor families, can be reluctant to kill pigs, are sold to others for some money, only better families, kill pigs to keep meat, excess meat is sold to others.
Shi Mo's family killed a pig during the Chinese New Year last year, and the neighbors next door came to help, making it lively, and after the parents sent the festival, there was still a lot of meat left at home, all of which were marinated by grandma, which made Shi Mo's brothers improve their usual lives a lot.
"Come to Zero Zero Le Lele ......" Shi Qian poured pig food into the pig trough, and called out like his grandmother usually feeding pigs, looking like a little adult.
Shi Mo looked at his brother who was close at this time, and there was a nameless attachment and entanglement in his heart.
In his previous life, his brother refused to study before graduating from junior high school, and when he was in the second year of junior high school, his father went to school and paid money to let him go to school, and he refunded the tuition fee, and refused to go to school.
In order to let him know the hard work of being a farmer without studying, his father took him, who was only fifteen years old at the time, to help others pick up the mud at the bottom of the fish pond, and his whole shoulder was torn.
Shi Mo knew very well in his heart that the reason why his brother did that at that time was, on the one hand, that the family really had no money, and the second most important reason was that when he was in the first year of junior high school, he suffered from a serious illness and had a major operation on his left leg, and the doctor said that his left leg might be permanently disabled and needed a lot of money.
My brother's academic performance at that time, the teachers praised our family for coming out of a university seedling, this child will be able to take the exam at least a first-class university. It's just that I didn't expect that my brother later became an authentic migrant worker.
In the following years, my brother has been helping out in the farm at home, or working for others to supplement the family, until he was 20 years old, under the leadership of his second uncle, he went out to work as a bridge project.
Shi Mo clearly remembers that his brother's first part-time job was in Neimeng, and when he came home for the Chinese New Year, he passed through Begin and brought himself a Beijing roast duck, which was when he had surgery, and wanted to eat roast duck, but his parents promised him but had no money to buy it.
Shi Mo has always felt very guilty about his brother, Shi Mo has wanted to help his brother start a business many times, Shi Qian always smiled and said to him: "Don't worry about my affairs, live well by yourself, don't you see that I and your sister-in-law are having a good time now?" Your nephew's grades in school are okay, we raised him as an adult, and he was admitted to a good university, and I will be worth it in this life. ā
Seeing his brother's appearance of feeding pigs again, Shi Mo's mind flashed countless fragments of his brother's previous life, and he felt panicked in his heart, and his eyes were covered with a layer of fog.
"Xiaomo, why are you standing stupidly, let's go home." Shi Qian saw that the pig had finished eating the pig food, patted Shi Mo's shoulder, which was stuck in the memory, and said.
"Oh, okay, let's go." Seeing that his brother didn't notice his abnormality, Shi Mo cleaned up his inner feelings and responded.
The moonlight stretched the slender bodies of the two of them to the elders, Shi Mo looked at his brother's cheeks, and thought very firmly in his heart: "Brother, please let me pay for you once in this life." ā
