Squeak! The door was pushed open from the outside, not both, but only a small slit on the side. Hearing the knock on the door, Lu Xiancheng and Professor Wen's eyes naturally looked at the door.

I saw a small figure flash directly through the crack in the door, and ran directly towards the courtyard, shouting at the top of his voice: "Grandpa!" Grandfather! ”。

As soon as the little guy saw two people sitting in the courtyard, he couldn't help but feel like he had been choked all of a sudden, and his shouting stopped abruptly, and his body stood all of a sudden, but because he just ran too hard, the little guy almost made himself a butt squat.

When the little guy stood still, Lu Xiancheng saw a little doll about seven or eight years old, with a small flat head, and there seemed to be a 'little tail' behind the head.

At this time, the 'delicate baby' is not delicate at all, and the whole person is tanned like black carbon, probably because of the slightly poor nutrition, and the bone marks on the chest can be seen clearly. There are still a few white marks on the stomach, and when he looks at this mark, Lu Xiancheng knows that this baby must have just come out of the water. In the summer, everyone who swam in the river had this experience, and when they went ashore, they reached out and grabbed it. In addition to this, there is only a small pants left on the little baby's body, but this little pants is still incomplete, and a palm-sized hole is broken on the entire side, and the torn piece of cloth hangs like this.

The pants hanging on the waist probably played a decorative role, anyway, the half of the small finch hanging on the crotch appeared from time to time, and Lu Xiancheng could see it clearly.

Seeing two people sitting on the grape trellis in the courtyard, the little guy was not ashamed to show himself at all, and the little finch was looking at the two with a pair of dark eyes.

"Grandpa Wen!" The little guy recognized Professor Wen, and after calling out someone, he continued to look at Lu Xiancheng with his eyes.

"Come on! Come! Professor Wen beckoned to the little guy and motioned for him to come over to his side.

The little man twisted and walked to Professor Wen's side and stood still, still looking at Lu Xiancheng with his eyes.

But the little one's gaze quickly shifted. Because Professor Wen took out a can from his pocket like Santa Claus and put it in the little man's hand.

"This is for you!".

The villain probably had never seen a canned luncheon meat, and he looked dazed when he took it and rummaged through it in his hand.

Professor Wen stretched out his hand and touched the baby's head and said, "When you want to eat, let your grandfather open it for you, this is given to you by your grandfather." Professor Wen said as he reached out and demonstrated how to open a can with a pull tab.

The little guy listened while holding the can, scratching his head from time to time.

At this time, a child's voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard: "Yang Maozi!" ”。

The little guy immediately responded: "Hey! ”。 After saying that, he ran into the house with the can. When the little man came out again, the can in his hand had disappeared.

I saw that the villain did not stay at all, and went directly to the edge of the well in the courtyard, and put the bucket made of iron sheet on the edge of the well.

As soon as the little hand reached the edge of the bucket, he immediately hugged it, and began to pour water with his mouth against the edge of the bucket.

Under Lao Lu's gaze, the little guy's stomach turned from flat to bulging, and he filled his stomach with well water.

"Yang Maozi, hurry up. It's waiting for you! The friends outside were already waiting a little impatient, and began to urge loudly.

"It's coming!" The little guy who finished drinking the water wiped his mouth, opened his two little legs, and disappeared at the door.

Lu Xiancheng was stunned from beginning to end: "This baby is too skinny!" ”。

Looking at the child in front of him, and then thinking about the little princess and prince he met before he was reborn, Lu Xiancheng suddenly didn't know what to say. Such a child can no longer be said to be free-range, almost raised as an animal, and just ignore it.

"The children in the village are like this, and they almost don't go home until they eat and when it's dark," Professor Wen said with a smile.

"What about his parents?"

Professor Wen said, "All of them are out of work. Not to mention Lao Yangtou's family, the middle-aged men and women in the village are all working outside. Now there are only these old and young people left in the village! ”。

That is the left-behind children, Lu Xiancheng asked again: "These children don't look young, why don't they send them to school?" ”

"The primary school is still in the town, how can these old people have the time and energy to send and pick them up after such a long journey? No one is at ease to let such a young child go on his own for a few hours, and it is common to wait until he is eight or nine years old before sending his child to the town for first grade," Professor Wen explained to Lu Xiancheng.

The two of them were talking. Seeing Lao Yang Tou carrying a bamboo basket from the corner of the house, and seeing Lao Yang Tou walking to the edge of the well to prepare to fetch water, Lu Xiancheng immediately stood up and walked over to help.

Lao Yang Tou estimated that Lu Xiancheng was a young man, so he didn't say anything polite: "Get some water and wash it." I know that you people in the city are clean, and if I eat it myself and don't even wash it, don't worry, our melons and fruits here are free of pesticides."

After nagging this, Lao Yang Tou walked to Professor Wen's side, pulled a stool and sat down.

Lu Xiancheng sent the iron bucket to the well to draw water, and the water surface in the well was not deep, just over two meters, and after putting the rope two or three times, the bottom of the bucket touched the water surface.

Lu Xiancheng lifted it and put it down two or three times, and the iron bucket was stunned and floated on the water, how to fight when there was no water at all! Thinking of it, seeing that the little baby seemed to have thrown the rope, Lao Lu immediately began to carry the bucket rope and threw it up.

"What are you doing?" Lao Yang Tou saw Lu Xiancheng standing at the mouth of the well shaking the rope, and couldn't help asking.

"I want to put the barrel on its side!"

When Lao Yang heard this, he said: "Then you shake the rope in one direction, aren't you righting the bucket on both sides before you put it down in this direction?" ”。

Depend on! When Lu Xiancheng heard this, he immediately understood, and directly shook the rope in his hand so that he no longer brought it back, and the small bucket in the well immediately fell sideways, and the well water was slowly poured into the iron bucket, and then Lu Xiancheng was able to carry a full bucket of well water up.

"It's so cool!" Lu Xiancheng put the melons in the basket directly into the tin bucket. As soon as his hand reached into the well water, he suddenly felt a cool breath spread to his whole body through his palms and arms.

Old Yang Tou glanced at Lu Xiancheng with an idiot look, and then continued to talk to Professor Wen.

Lao Yang's head picks the vegetable melon, the green skin with white petals, the melon is not very big, about the size of a palm, the taste is very fragrant, you can smell a strong fruity fragrance when you pick it up.

After washing Gualuxiancheng, each person was assigned one, and the servants just sat down and gnawed on the melon.

After one bite, Lu Xiancheng temporarily forgot about buying vegetables, this melon is very sweet. But this sweetness is not greasy, but a kind of sweetness full of fruity aroma, and after swallowing the pulp, there is still a melon fragrance between the mouths.

"This melon is delicious, much more delicious than the fruit stall," Lu Xiancheng couldn't help but praise.

Professor Wen smiled when he heard this: "The fruit stalls sell all the ones that are picked and ripe when they are not ripe, how can they be compared with this kind of naturally ripe melon, and many fruits are medicated to grow, and the taste is not as good as the naturally ripe ones."

Lu Xiancheng nodded while eating melons and listened to Professor Wen's explanation.

When I turned my head, I found that Lao Yangtou's melon was very special.

After eating one or two bites here, Lao Yang Tou bit off the melon skin in his hand, and only ate a shallow layer of melon flesh. As for the melon pulp inside, it didn't move at all, it was directly in his hand, and he threw it at the corner of the wall, and soon a group of half-sized chickens in the courtyard rushed over and began to peck at the melon flesh.

People feed the chickens while eating!

"Bring some with you when you leave later, there are too many melons growing this year," Lao Yang said lightly.

Lu Xiancheng originally wanted to say why he didn't take so many melons to the town and sell them, but when the words came to his lips and swallowed back, Lao Lu thought that he thought of something so easily, these people wouldn't be unexpected. People are not stupid! Don't look ugly yourself.

After eating the melon, Lu Xiancheng washed his hands and gave everyone a cigarette. The two old and the young sat on the grape trellis and swallowed the clouds.

A cigarette was halfway smoked when the courtyard door was pushed open again.

"Mr. Wen!" An elderly woman walked into the courtyard with a basket on her arm.

As a native of this county, Lu Xiancheng naturally knows that Mr. is the name of the teacher in the countryside, not that everyone traditionally thinks that men can be called Mr., Mr. not only represents the teacher but also represents the cultural person, and has a very high status in the hearts of the villagers.

When he got closer, Lu Xiancheng found that the old woman's basket contained two and a half large roosters. In addition to the two small roosters, there are also a few green peppers. Tomatoes, plus a bundle of watery greens tied up with grass stalks.

The old woman here had not yet put down the basket beside the three of them, and another one came in at the door. The basket that was also carrying the basket was still a chicken, plus a dozen large duck eggs with green skins, and some vegetables were also placed together.

Professor Wen greeted the two women. While pulling money out of his pocket.

Lu Xiancheng looked at the money given by Professor Wen and his eyes straightened, because Lu Xiancheng found that a small rooster was only two or three yuan, and a salted duck egg was only about two cents.

Professor Wen, who had paid the bill, gave each of the two women two more cans, and the two women excused themselves for a while before carrying the basket and smiling out of the courtyard.

At this moment, Lu Xiancheng understood why Professor Wen said that he ate two meals of meat a day, and the daily food given by Lao Lu was according to the standards of Shicheng. I know that I know, but Lao Lu is not ready to suppress the food, because there is no need to dwell on this matter, a group of people came from Shicheng to nest in this small hill, which is a little cheap and still makes people touch.

Seeing that there were fish and chickens now, Lu Xiancheng said to Professor Wen, "Can we go back?" ”。

Professor Wen smiled again, and the cigarette ash on his hand was played: "Wait! You can't just get a meal on a trip! Not to mention, save enough food for two or three days! ”。

"Mr. Wen! Mr. Wen! ”。

Before Professor Wen's words were finished, a loud voice full of neutrality came in at the door, and the one who came in was an old man with deep wrinkles on his face, about sixty years old, but his body was upright, standing like a javelin, about one meter seventy-five in height, and his steps were tiger-like.

The two hands are holding a big herring about the length of Lao Lu's arm, just looking at the scales on the herring fish are almost as big as Lu Xiancheng's fingernails, the whole fish body is covered with a layer of blue-black, only the bottom of the belly is white, I am afraid that it is not a few dozen catties smaller.

"Yo, Shen Cripple, you are a good fish" As soon as Lao Yang saw the big herring, he immediately stood up from the bench.

"I got it from the depression in the west, I didn't expect there to be such a big fish there" The old man known as Shen Cripple didn't mind at all, and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to send it to Mr. Wen, but who knew that I heard that Mr. Wen was coming over as soon as I came back."

At this time, Professor Wen looked left and right at the big fish and said in a loud voice, "Good fish! ”。

Lu Xiancheng listened to the old man chatting for a while, and after two or three minutes of talking, he heard Professor Wen say, "Tell me, what price do you want?" ”。

Shen Cripple stretched out his fingers first, and then opened a slap.

"Okay!" When Professor Wen heard this, he immediately took the money out of his pocket and handed it over.

Seeing that Professor Wen had returned three cans, he couldn't shirk it, so Shen Cripple immediately took out the money from his pocket and returned it to Professor Wen.

Professor Wen naturally shirked again and again: "This is for children to eat, and it has nothing to do with you."

Where is the lame man willing to let him: "It's right that the child eats, then my fish is also for the group of students who gave it to you, I can't accept this money, how can I do such a thing!" ”。

Lu Xiancheng, who was sitting on the bench, watched the two of them push back and forth for about five or six minutes before it was over, and the final result was that Professor Wen took back his fifteen yuan and gave Shen Cripple two more boxes of canned food, which was the end of the matter.

Then Lu Xiancheng watched this kind of thing happen again and again, a total of four or five groups of people came, some received money, some did not collect money, anyway, Lao Lu experienced Professor Wen's special 'way of buying vegetables' or delivering vegetables to the door for the first time.
