The sound of the rooster crows is urging people, Xiao Ding Xiaogeng's biological clock is excellent, the thunder can't be moved at night, and there is no sleepiness at all, so he gets up excitedly dressed, and urges his sleepy sister by the way.

Lu Xiaoyi felt that all his bones were falling apart, and his legs were even more exaggerated, and he couldn't move because of the soreness, but he couldn't stand the two entanglement spirits, so he stretched his big lazy waist and turned over.

After breakfast, she learned of Lu Shouzeng's decision: Lu Yong is no longer allowed to go to the city to find work, all the fields at home are cultivated by him alone, and he must cut off contact with Gao Yang, and he must get Lu Shouzeng's consent when he goes out, otherwise he will be kicked out of the house.

When Lu Xiaoyi's sister and brother appeared in the West Courtyard, Lu Yong was sitting on the threshold of the West House with a blue nose and swollen face, and Lu Shouzeng was weaving a straw basket without saying a word.

Xiao Geng thought that yesterday his father said that his uncle had in his head, and looked at Lu Yong with a sympathetic expression, and even ran over and comforted him: "Uncle, does your head hurt?" If your head hurts, go to the thatched house! ”

Lu Yong was stunned when he heard this, and soon he would be wrong again, thinking that Xiao Geng was worried about the injury on his head, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle's head doesn't hurt, uncle's butt hurts!" "Last night, his ass was beaten by his father with hatred, he dodged around and accidentally knocked his head and face, and today it is swollen like a pig's head.

Xiao Geng's face was sad, looking at his uncle's eyes with both sympathy and compassion, Lu Xiaoyi was worried that Xiao Geng would continue to speak, so that Lu Yong would definitely be even more sad when he learned what happened, and hurriedly beckoned Xiao Geng to come over and help move the soft mat grass.

Lu Xiaoyi looked around with a bundle of grass, and saw that her aunt was busy feeding the chickens, and she didn't see Mrs. Lu. As usual, as soon as Xiao Geng appeared, Mrs. Lu was the first to appear, shouting one by one, and then carried Xiao Geng to the backyard to feed and drink.

The atmosphere in the West Courtyard was a little depressed today, and Lu Xiaoyi had no intention of asking about Mrs. Lu's whereabouts, so she looked at the little soft mat grass, and said to Lu Shouzeng: "Grandfather, the soft mat grass by the stream is all dry, and it can't be used when it is cut back, so I have to wait until next summer." ”

Lu Shouzeng said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, let's make it up next year!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi was a little disappointed, as soon as he earned some money, he faced the problem of insufficient raw materials. This is also a helpless thing, the solar terms are here, you can't change your life against the sky, let the withered yellow soft mat grass rejuvenate, right?

Lu Xiaoyi suddenly thought of the place where Yu Liang had found wild onions and mountain garlic, by the way, the solar term in the mountain was a little later, and he might be able to find a soft mat grass that could be used.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoyi dropped the sentence "I'll go back" and rushed out with a straw basket and a sickle.

Fortunately, the surplus grain was at home, when Lu Xiaoyi proposed to let him take it to Qixitou, his face was surprised, seeing Lu Xiaoyi's eyes were earnest, he said "Wait a minute", went back to the house and changed into a set of black shorts, wrapped around his trouser legs and wrists, tied his belt, and carried the grass on his back, dressed as a capable hunter.

Lu Xiaoyi blinked, puzzled: "What are you?" ”

"By the way, go see the traps." The surplus grain closed the courtyard door and locked it, and the little black dog barked non-stop.

"Bring the Black Tiger with you! After training, it can help you hunt. Lu Xiaoyi suggested.

"It's small." Yu Liang led the way in front, and Lu Xiaoyi followed closely on the path into the mountain. The trail is very narrow, some sections are completely covered by fallen leaves, the low shrubs are now dead and the branches are crazy in the way, the tall trees are sparse in autumn, the sun casts down, and the whole mountain forest is quiet and gentle.

Yu Liang was obviously very familiar with this path, and walked very smoothly in front, and when he encountered a branch blocking the way, he would stop very carefully and use his spear to pry it open, let Lu Xiaoyi pass, and then continue to move forward. All the way up, the scenery is different from time to time, from time to time there are hares jumping and pheasants flying wildly, and small squirrels jumping on the branches.

Lu Xiaoyi entered the mountain for the first time, and he was in a happy mood, feeling the soft bullet of the yellow leaves under his feet, and enjoying the sound of the mountains and forests. From time to time, yellow leaves floated down, and even one fell on the shoulders of the surplus grain, and he didn't realize it, and seriously led the way in front.

After walking for about half an hour, I finally arrived at a green place with water and grass.

Lu Xiaoyi soon found a few bushes of yellow-green soft mat grass, seeing that the color of the grass blades was still usable, she happily waved her sickle and rushed over, Yu Liang sighed, pointed to the slippery rocks by the stream, and her eyes reminded her to be careful of slipping, Lu Xiaoyi smiled gratefully, no longer reckless.

Lu Xiaoyi's basket is too small, and it can't fit a bundle, thinking that the solar term doesn't wait for anyone, maybe in a few days these soft mats will not be able to be used, Lu Xiaoyi was greedy and cut off everything that could be cut by the stream.

When she tied up, she looked embarrassed, pinched her thin arms and legs, and was about to trouble the surplus food again.

Yu Liang saw her embarrassment, signaled her to rest assured, turned out the freshly dug chives and mountain garlic, and smiled with white teeth.

Lu Xiaoyi pointed to the deeper mountains and asked, "Brother Liang, have you ever been to a deeper mountain?" ”

Yu Liang shook his head and said seriously: "I heard that there are tigers, wolves and bears!" After speaking, he wiped the spear and bow and arrow in his hand, "The good hunters of Shangxi Village dare to go together, I am like this...... I haven't been to ......" tone was a little more ashamed.

Lu Xiaoyi wanted to comfort him, saying that he would be a good hunter sooner or later, but when the words came to his mouth and swallowed again, he was left alone in the surplus grain family, and it would be good for a few acres of mountainous land and a little mountain goods to feed him, why should he advocate him to be a good hunter, in case he was bewitched by her words and went deeper into the mountains and forests, and accidentally buried himself in the claws of the beast, her sin would be great.

Lu Xiaoyi thought for a while and said: "The beast is ferocious, Brother Liang is better to be cautious, after all, hunting is a technical job, even if you are an old hunter, you will be attacked by the beast if you are not careful." ”

Then he said, "My grandfather said, contentment is always happy! After speaking, he looked around and praised: "This forest is very good, the hares are not young and old along the way, Brother Liang guards this forest without worrying about not being able to catch prey, so he simply be a contented little hunter, how good!" ”

Yu Liang smiled, got up and beckoned Lu Xiaoyi to go with him, the two traps set by the stream were obviously passive, Yu Liang opened the trap mouth, and sure enough, he harvested two hares.

The surplus grain fished up the dying hare, tied it on his shoulder, covered the trap mouth anew, and took Lu Xiaoyi to the other two traps. Yu Liang scratched his head, smiled at Lu Xiaoyi, then turned back to the stream, used the spear as a flat burden, inserted a bundle of soft mat grass at each end, and swayed down the mountain.

Lu Xiaoyi followed behind with a basket of grass, looked at the tall back of the black-clothed young man in front of him, and sighed secretly: Sure enough, it is 'a man who wants to be pretty with soap' from behind, the surplus grain is stronger than the last time I saw him, the shoulders and arms holding the bales of straw are strong and powerful, the tight waistline is strong and tight, and the long legs are even more slender.

Since ancient times, the weak worship the strong, the foolish envy the wise, and the ugly love the beautiful, Lu Xiaoyi can't help but be attracted by this strength and beauty, and secretly has a little envy and love in his heart.

Back in the small courtyard of the Yu family, Yu Liang put down the straw bale, turned out the wild onion and mountain garlic in his waist pocket, pointed to the hare, a little embarrassed, and said, "Ask Xiao Geng and them to eat the roasted hare." ”

I was embarrassed to eat him last time, but this time Lu Xiaoyi resolutely disagreed, and waved his hand again and again.

Yu Liang was a little disappointed, but he didn't force it, picked up the two bundles of grass, sent them to Lu Xiaoyi's house, put down the bales and left. Xiao Geng chased out the door excitedly, saying that he would give the surplus food a ride, but he actually followed Yu's house to tease the little black dog.

It's almost noon, Xiao Geng hasn't come back yet, Yulan asked Xiao Yi to look for it, Lu Xiaoyi said: "Don't look for it, you must eat rabbit meat at Brother Liang's house." ”

Yulan said angrily: "This kid is getting more and more greedy, come back and see if I don't knock out his delicious teeth!" ”

"Brother Liang's house is remote, and there are usually no guests, so when we children go, he is very happy and entertains us with rabbit meat. If we don't eat it, he will be very sad, if we eat it, we are embarrassed, mother, how do you say it? ”

Yulan smiled: "This is not simple, in the future, our family will make a good meal, send him a copy, that child saved your life, we don't worry about others gossiping, just be a relative, so it will be solved." ”

Lu Xiaoyi's eyes lit up, yes, this method is good, and he shouted excitedly: "Mother, let's make a good meal at noon!" I'll pick up Xiao Geng in a while, I can't go empty-handed! Blame the embarrassment. ”

Yulan said angrily: "I just ate taro roast chicken last night, and I want to eat it at noon today, how can you live like this?" ”

Lu Xiaoyi hung his head, yes, I had eaten all the chicken last night, so I knew that I would leave a bowl for the rest of the grain.

"Okay, people have a heart for the grain, if we eat him and return it immediately, the grain may not feel good, Xiao Geng will let him go today, let's make a good meal another day and send a copy to the grain, we don't deliberately, the grain will be comfortable, right?"

Yulan's words were something she hadn't considered, Lu Xiaoyi's heart was full of approval, and her heart was even more determined to learn from Yulan about the wisdom of living a life.

Xiao Geng was sent back by the surplus grain after eating a full meal, Xiao Geng shouted to send the surplus grain again, and was reprimanded by Lu Xiaoyi with his hair in a bun: "You send him back, he will send you back, you will send him back, he will send you back, you are not tired, Brother Liang will be tired!" ”

Yu Liang smiled and said he didn't mind, Yulan beckoned Yu Liang to come into the house to rest for a while, Yu Liang shook his head and showed Yulan the basket on his back, it turned out that he was going into the city to sell hares and a few rabbit skins.

Yulan didn't delay him, let him go quickly, and come back by Lu Zhong's car in the evening.

Lu Xiaoyi sent the surplus grain out of the village and sighed: Long legs are good, ten kilometers per hour is not a problem.

After envying other people's long legs, Lu Xiaoyi went to the stream to fish for mussel shell screws. Now that the wild vegetables and weeds are dead, they rely on these mussel shells, screw meat and coarse chaff to feed the chickens, and when the winter wheat in the field grows, there are no scruples, and the chickens can be put in the field to find grasshoppers and crickets to eat.

In late autumn, when the stream was cold, Lu Zhong made a long-handled net pocket for Xiao Yi, and scooped up the screw mussel shell to make it convenient and trouble-free.

Soon, Liu Bao came, and the little fat man Shen Qiang also appeared awkwardly not far away.

Lu Xiaoyi happened to take the wages of the two of them, and beckoned with a smile: "Shen Qiang come over for a while." ”

The little fat man looked unruly, holding his head high and his nostrils facing the sky, "Come over when you say it, hum!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi rolled his eyes, forgetting that this little fat man likes to punish wine and doesn't like toasting, so he said angrily: "Hurry up and get here!" ”

The little fat man snorted a few times, reluctantly moved to Lu Xiaoyi, and said viciously: "If you have something to say, say it, let it go if you have a fart!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi felt that the little fat man's joy and anger were more gratuitous than the menopausal mother-in-law, and he didn't bother to bother with him, so he took out twenty yuan, gave Liu Bao ten yuan, and gave him ten yuan.

The little beautiful man Liu Bao's cheeks were red with excitement, and his long eyelashes blinked, "Little Sister Yi, give me money to make ......" Shen Qiang interrupted impatiently, "Can you say a few words?" Seeing how hard you look, I want to beat someone! ”

Liu Bao is no longer the original Liu Bao, he has Xiaoyi's sister and brother as friends, and he is no longer afraid of Shen Qiang, and hummed: "Less and less interruption!" ”

Shen Qiang waved his fist and threatened: "Believe it or not, you are looking for teeth all over the ground when I beat you!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi had a headache and shouted, "Shen Fatty, do you try to bully people again?" ”

When Shen Qiang saw Xiao Yi's black face, he immediately changed his smiling face, spread out the ten cents, and asked, "Why do you give money?" ”

This is exactly what Liu Bao wanted to ask, Lu Xiaoyi smiled proudly, "This is the salary, you helped me cut the soft mat grass last time, this is the salary I gave you!" ”

Liu Bao asked excitedly: "Are you still cutting?" ”

Lu Xiaoyi shook his head, "Wait for next summer." ”

Liu Bao was a little disappointed, but was quickly dispersed by the joy of ten cents.

Shen Qiang returned the ten cents to Lu Xiaoyi, "Hmph! I'm not you asking for a short-term job, I'm happy to help you, who wants your salary! Besides, my dad gives me more pocket money than that! ”

When Shen Qiang said this, Liu Bao was a little embarrassed, pinching the money and not knowing what to do.

Lu Xiaoyi was not angry with Shen Qiang, and said with a smile: "Nana, all this money can be earned by your hard work, not from your father and mother for nothing, what's so embarrassing!" Shen Qiang don't pull it down, Liu Bao, you can take it with peace of mind, if you need your help in the future, I will still look for you. ”

Liu Bao nodded, and happily put ten cents in his sleeve pocket.

Lu Xiaoyi planned to put away the ten cents returned by Shen Qiang, but Shen Qiang snatched it up, "Who said I don't want it!" "Pick up the money, pick up the net pocket next to Xiao Yi, and help catch the screws.
