After dinner, the three brothers all came to talk to Chang Xile. Although the words of the three people all mean the same thing, care about his body, let him not think about it, and the days will be long, but the different words made Chang Xile have a better understanding of the three brothers, and roughly know their respective personalities.

The memory of the original body does not know much about the character of these three elder brothers, and their impression of them is vaguely summarized as a good person and a good person to him. Originally, the original body was going to take the road of the imperial examination, which was very difficult, so it is understandable that he would not listen to the outside of the window and only read the books of the sages. But the current situation, but often happy like this, if you want to do something for this family, if you want to make your life better, you have to pay more attention to the people around you.

Although these three elder brothers have different temperaments and have their own careful thoughts, they are not evil people at present.

The eldest brother is often happy and honest, with a sad cloud on his face, a typical image of a peasant who is crushed by life. He came to talk to Chang Xile to express his concern, and it can be seen that when Chang Xile is concerned, he always has a sense of restraint, not like facing his younger brother, but more like an honest farmer meeting a person with a higher status. There is always a feeling of trembling and afraid of saying the wrong thing, and I have instructed a few words upside down, but at first glance, I am not good at words, and I only know how to bury my head in work.

The second brother Chang Xisheng is much more shrewd, he found Chang Xile to apologize to his wife, and then told the current situation of the family, and told Chang Xile in and out of the words, their family is not as good as before, and now life is very difficult. Although Chang Xisheng did not directly say that it was caused by Chang Xile, he was also telling him that he would not be able to provide for him as before in the future, and these situations were not clear to the original body and the current Chang Xile.

The Chang family is now not only destitute, but also in debt, owing at least fifty taels of foreign debt. This is a very large number for the peasant family, in this world it is not easy for the peasant family to have food and clothing, all of them are self-sufficient, there is very little cash on hand, not counting their own production, many people have never spent so much money in their lives.

Chang Xisheng also expressed his desire to go out and break through like his father when he was young, but the distress was that Chang Laosan refused to agree, so he could only give up. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he always wanted to encourage Chang Xile to be a lobbyist, and kept hinting that if he could go out, the family's debts would be solved, and he wouldn't have to live so hard. Chang Xile didn't understand why Chang Laosan disagreed, but there should be his own reasoning, so he didn't dare to guarantee anything, but he kept pretending to be confused, and Chang Xisheng didn't dare to say it bluntly, so he could only regret leaving in the end.

Chang Xisheng's wife said something like that at dinner, but he didn't come out to say a word, which actually showed his attitude, and he apologized afterwards, which shows that this person is very shrewd. The two couples deliberately sang red face on one side and white face on the other. can not only express his thoughts, but also will not be separated from Chang Xile. This kind of shrewdness may make some people feel unhappy, but for the outsider Chang Xile, although he has also inherited the original feelings for this family, but after all, it is not his own personal experience, so it is more of an attitude of repaying gratitude, so it does not matter about emotional injury, but feels that if such a person can be used well, it is a good helper.

And the third brother Chang Xiwang is a big grin, he didn't take anything to heart, and he didn't come to Chang Xile for tonight's dinner, but patted his chest and assured him that after this while, he would go up the mountain to hunt pheasants, so he didn't have to eat those bran wild vegetables with them, and he didn't know what that incident represented at dinner today, he just thought that there was no good food at home. I didn't mention the situation at home, and the whole person was happy, and he was not bothered by the current difficulties at all.

Chang Xile raised it for another two days, and finally stopped walking like he was stepping on cotton as before, and he was a lot more energetic and no longer needed to be taken care of by others. But even so, no one arranged any work for him, and he was not regarded as one of the laborers in the family as before.

Chang Xile knew that it was difficult for him to do these farm jobs like everyone else, whether it was his hands-on ability or physical condition, so he didn't reluctantly follow, but planned to go out for a walk and get to know the entire Taoyuan Village with his own eyes.

Breakfast is a soup of taro and greens, and the rice bran cake with a throat-scratching taste is much more delicious. The rice bran in this world is not as fine as powder in modern rice bran, but it is very rough and has burrs, so it is unpalatable, not to mention that the taste is extremely bad, and he finally drank it with vegetable soup yesterday. The taro is fragrant and glutinous, but it is a little smaller, and the good looks are all selected and sold, and the rest are crooked melons and cracked dates.

Chang Xile touched his stomach after eating, it was too little, and he was still not full, if only it could be as big as Lipu taro, eat one and be full.

"Ahh That's a lot of bugs! ”

The children in the courtyard suddenly screamed, causing Chang Xile, who was drinking vegetable soup, to tremble. Hurriedly put down the bowl and pulled out a burning wooden stick from the fire, and rushed out directly, the peasant children were not afraid of insects, but they would scream so loudly, the situation must be very dangerous.

"Don't move, where are the bugs?!"

Several children were stunned when they saw Chang Xile's posture, and Yang Zi's face collapsed directly, looking like he was about to cry, "Uncle, I, can I eat one?" ”

Chang Xile couldn't understand, "What are you eating?" ”

Yang Zi pointed to the wooden stake on the ground that was split in half, "This worm, there are several, and Yang Zi also wants to eat one." ”

Xing'er slapped Yang Zi's head directly, "Little gluttonous cat, uncle said to eat it, let's not move, you still want to rob it, be careful that the milk knows to beat you!" ”

Yang Zi shuddered, and suddenly didn't dare to say anything more, and looked at the white and fat insects in the stake.

Chang Xile suddenly cried and laughed, and put the fire stick in his hand back, only then did he realize that he had made a mistake. The scream just now was not fear at all, but excitement. The insects in the firewood are too late for people in the city like Chang Xile to lose, where will the eyes glow like the poor peasants see it like they see meat. This is one of the children's favorite snacks!

"I was mistaken, I thought you were scared by the bugs, you eat it."

Yang Zi asked cautiously: "Uncle, do you really give us food?" ”

Chang Xile smiled, "I'm such a big person, can I still rob your things?" ”

Xing'er muttered in a low voice, "It's not that I haven't robbed it." ”

Huaizi glared at Xing'er fiercely, "What nonsense! You won't find you any more bugs! ”

Xing'er suddenly retracted, lowered her head and didn't dare to speak again.

Chang Xile just pretended not to hear, "How do you eat this worm?" ”

Yang Zi's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "It's delicious to eat when it's baked!" ”

Chang Xile looked at the white insects with such thick fingers in the firewood, like silkworms, and couldn't imagine how they could get into their mouths. But the children didn't care at all, they took out the worms, took them to the fire and roasted them until they were yellow, and then put them in their mouths, chewing them very fragrantly, and they looked satisfied. After eating, he looked at the locust with a blank eye, hoping to meet him when he chopped firewood.

"Uncle, why don't you try it too? It tastes really good. Huaizi handed Chang Xile the big white worm, and Chang Xile subconsciously took a step back.

"Ahem, ahem." Chang Xile coughed embarrassedly, "You guys eat, I'll go out for a walk." ”

"Uncle, where are you going?" Several children asked at the same time.

"I'll just take a walk and have a look."

Huaizi suddenly frowned, looking uneasy, "Uncle, your body is just right, let's rest at home." ”

Chang Xile laughed, "I'm such a big person who can take care of myself, it's okay, I don't go anywhere, just walk around the village." ”

Huaizi still disagreed, but he didn't care about the elders, and said: "Why don't you let Shanzi follow you, if there is anything, someone can take care of it, he is also very familiar with the village, just tell him where you want to go." ”

As soon as Shanzi heard his name, he nodded again and again, "Well, well, I'm with Uncle, Uncle, don't you want to eat snails, I'll take you to find it." ”

Chang Xile didn't refuse, and if someone led him, he could understand the situation faster, and the things in the original memory were probably not as good as those who were only six years old, but Shanzi, who was running around, knew more.

Yang Zi was also excited when he heard this, and hurriedly came over, "I'm going too!" I'm going too! ”

Chang Xile smiled and touched his head, "Okay, let's go together, but you can't run around, Uncle can't chase you." ”

Yang Zi patted his small chest and promised, "I won't run around." ”

Xing'er hesitated for a while, and finally didn't go out with her, but went to find her little friend.

Although Chang Xile's body has recovered, he was injured before, so he walked unhurriedly. Shanzi has always been by his side, while Yang Zi has been running here and jumping there, never stopping all the way.

There are not many people in the village at this point, most of them have gone to the fields, and only some old ladies are basking in the sun and weaving cloth in the yard. Occasionally, someone in a hurry passed by, no matter how urgent he was, he would stop to say hello and ask him about his physical condition. Chang Xile smiled and answered one by one, although Shanzi is young, he can remember who is who, and he can also tell the relationship between them, so that Chang Xile will not be blind.

"Uncle, let's go to the front and sit down and rest for a while."

It's just that after walking for about two quarters of an hour, Chang Xile was a little out of breath and sweating. Although Shanzi looks very honest, he is a careful one, and hurriedly let Chang Xile rest.

Chang Xile didn't dare to do anything, so he found a shady place to sit down.

"Uncle, uncle, look at the puppy that Brother Dog just made for me!" Yang Zi ran over from afar, holding something with a happy face. Coke was extremely sad, and when he was about to reach Chang Xile, he fell violently and made a loud noise.

Chang Xile was startled, stood up and wanted to help Yang Zi up. I saw that Yang Zi's face didn't change for a moment, and he jumped up like a monkey, not caring about the pain on his body at all, but looking at the straw puppy that was pressed nervously, and when he saw that the puppy was crushed, he cried directly.

"Wow, my puppy is broken, my puppy is broken!"

The corners of Chang Xile's mouth twitched, it was okay to fall so badly just now, the dog that had been made of straw was crushed but it was so sad that it couldn't do it, this is a praise for the farmer's children's skin or sigh that there are too few toys, so it is particularly rare hard-won gadgets.

"Yang Zi came to Uncle here, don't cry, isn't it just a puppy, I'll make one up for you."

Yang Zi suddenly stopped crying, and asked while sobbing: "Uncle, do you also make it up?" ”

Chang Xile looked around, plucked a few dog's tail grass beside him, and his slender fingers moved quickly, and after a while, a lively puppy appeared. Chang Xile looked at it, but he was not too satisfied, and his right hand still hindered his play.

But Yang Zi's eyes lit up, wiped a handful of tears with his sleeve, and jumped up happily, "Wow! This puppy is even better than Brother Dog! ”

Chang Xile smiled and handed it to him, and Yang Zi held it carefully, "Uncle, can you make another one for me?" I want to give it to the kitten. ”

Shanzi explained, "The kitten is the younger brother of Brother Gouzi, and he usually plays best with Yangzi. ”

Chang Xile couldn't help laughing, the names of the two brothers were really easy, and joked: "They won't have a little pig in their family." ”

"That's right, but don't call the little pig a fat pig, it's been fat since birth, and I heard the adults say that we haven't seen such a fat doll in our village, and the eyes are narrowed into a line. The kitten said that when it was just born, everyone was worried that it had no eyes, and they broke the meat to see, and they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that there were eyeballs. ”

Chang Xile smiled even more happily, and really wanted to see with his own eyes if there was really such a fat child. Chang Xile said this in his mouth, but his hand movements did not stop, and after a while, he made a kitten and a little pig.

"Give these two to the kitten and the fat pig."

Yang Zi couldn't put it down, and looked at his puppy again, always feeling that these two were better, and his expression was tangled, but in the end he decided to send them all out. He no longer cared about Chang Xile and Shanzi, and ran away with the gadgets and touched and jumped.

"Shanzi, the place of the snail is not far away? Is it appropriate for me to dress like this? ”

Chang Xile walked in the village only to find that something was wrong, he wanted to go out for a walk, and forgot to think about anything else. He is now wearing a round-necked robe and cloth shoes on his feet, which he felt awkward in the Chang family before, because his clothes are the best in the Chang family. The others, including children, were dressed in shabby clothes, and everyone had a patch on the left and a patch on the right. Moreover, the men are all sleeveless shorts and trousers, and the trousers are only above the knee; And women are not so particular, in order to facilitate the work is also over the buttocks cardigan, usually very few people wear long skirts, when going down to the field will also roll up the trouser legs, only when going out or the New Year will pay attention to it.

However, generally women who have not been out of the cabinet will be relatively particular, and most of them are usually busy with household work, such as laundry and cooking, etc., and will only go to the fields together to help when the farm is busy. And the married woman didn't care so much, Chang Xile just saw a woman sitting at the door with her chest open breastfeeding, and she didn't shy away when she saw someone coming, which made Chang Xile feel embarrassed.

Chang Xile woke up and saw so many people, both men and women, young and old, with straw sandals on their feet, and none of them wore cloth shoes like him. And Chang Xile found that his robe was not made of cotton, but linen, and so did his shoes. He asked his family about this, and then he knew that there was not even cotton in this world!

Shanzi glanced at Chang Xile, "Uncle, I'm afraid that if you go like this, you will scratch this clothes, there are too many weeds on the road, and the road is not easy to walk, and it is easy to wear out those roads in these shoes." ”

Chang Xile didn't dare to wear this body to touch the snail when he heard this, he now has two clothes that can go out to meet people, which are all made for him by the Chang family for him to go out not too shabby, and it took a lot of effort to make it for him.

Taoyuan Village is rich in ramie, and the women in the village will use ramie to weave cloth, and the clothes they wear for themselves are relatively coarse, and the ones that are sold are carefully made, which are much softer and more comfortable. Chang Xile was wearing the most delicate and delicate kind, which was made for him by several women in the family, but he didn't want Chang Xile to be laughed at outside. Chang Xile is usually very loving, which is one of the reasons why he doesn't run around.

These memories are also in the original body, but Chang Xile didn't remember them for a while, and when he walked into the village, he found that everyone was dressed in tatters, especially the people who worked in the fields, and they all picked the most torn clothes and put them on, so that he was out of place, which made him react.

Chang Xile was also reluctant to damage this good clothes, and he would still rely on this body to go out to run errands in the future, so he could only go home first, but as soon as he arrived home, he ushered in an uninvited guest - Qian Xin, the younger brother of the second girl of the Qian family and the baby pimple of the Qian family.
