After noon, the sky was blue and clear, and the clouds were white and peaceful.

Parsley woke up and felt like her bones had been nested by ants, and it hurt terribly.

Duan Qiuping sat at the door of the house with her hands crossed, like a big cat basking in the sun, not so much motionless, but too lazy to move.

The two of them ignored anyone, and after the parsley was cleaned up, they went to the south courtyard.

Outside the door, you can hear the voices of people talking in the south courtyard.

Duan Xiang came back from the county seat, and according to Duan Wen's previous instructions, he brought three bags of soybeans and twenty kilograms of chili noodles, and also sent a tricycle.

Duan Xiang regarded himself as a hero, so he had to cut a little raw beef and take it away.

The Dou family was unwilling, there was not much beef sent by Aizhi, and the remaining piece of the southern courtyard was probably not enough for Xue Danfeng and Duan Yongyuan!

Duan Wen looked at Dou's face and said to Duan Xiang: "It's the winter solstice in the future, I'll make dumplings for you with your aunt." ”

Duan Xiang shook his hands and stomped his feet, like a three-year-old doll who couldn't get candy, "The dumplings are all big meat fillings, I want to eat beef!" I'll just cut a little! ”

After that little bit is cut, how much is left? The boss of Dou's heart was unwilling, but he didn't want to be thought that she was stingy, so he forced a smile and said: "That beef was sent by Aizhi, you don't want to go to her house anymore." ”

Hearing her say this, Duan Wen's face turned ugly.

When someone else sends something, I feel embarrassed when I reach out to receive it. If you ask for it, who will lick that face!

Seeing that he was unhappy, Dou pursed his lips and lowered his head to concentrate on filtering the bean dregs.

Duan Yongyuan, who was straining bean dregs with the Dou family, smiled, "Let Xiangzi take that piece of beef, anyway, I ate it with my mother at lunch." ”

When Duan Xiang heard this, he was overjoyed, and after a few jumps, his fat belly was like a balloon filled with water, and it gurgled when it was shaken.

Duan Wen laughed at him, "You're so fat, and you still want to eat meat, and you're not afraid to make a hole in your bed when the time comes!" ”

Duan Xiang smiled and said poorly: "Where am I fat, my name is plump!" ”

In a blink of an eye, seeing Parsley coming, Duan Wen went to the kitchen to heat up the meal specially reserved for her.

"It's all done!" When Parsley looks, she has to get almost everything.

Two large rhubarb bowls are filled with chili juice and toon juice respectively, and the bowls are covered with white transparent plastic bags.

The three kilograms of soybeans are also ground, and the okara is left to be filtered out.

"Hurry up and eat." Duan Wen urged Parsley.

As soon as Xiangqin picked up the chopsticks, Duan Xiang came over.

Duan Xiang twisted the fat on his stomach and blinked his eyes maliciously, "Parsley, I'll give you some of the meat on my body, you give me a bite of the meat in your bowl!" ”

Parsley handed him the chopsticks and glanced at him with disgust, "Look at your appearance, you haven't eaten meat in many years!" ”

Duan Xiang ate a piece of meat, a piece of potatoes, and a mouthful of vegetable soup, and closed his eyes to enjoy it with satisfaction.

"After the winter solstice, I will come to your house to chop dumplings for you." Duan Xiang should repay their beef with his body.

Duan Wen laughed at him again, "You want to come to our house to eat dumplings!" ”

"Of course, dumplings still have to be eaten." Duan Xiang didn't blush at all.

This caused laughter in the audience.

Parsley poured some vegetable soup into the rice, mixed it well with chopsticks, and put a few pieces of beef into the rice bowl.

She looked down and thought about her thoughts, as if the excitement in this courtyard had nothing to do with her.

When the laughter fell, she suddenly spoke, "Uncle Xiangzi, how are your bean sprouts selling, is the business good?" ”

"That's it. It's not good, it's not bad, it's slow to sell, and some make money anyway. "Otherwise, Duan Xiang wouldn't have run to this courtyard frequently.

Xiangqin glanced at the tricycle, then hooked her head and continued to eat, "Otherwise, you go back and put the bean sprouts in a plastic bag separately with the second grandfather, and when Brother Yongzi and I sell hot tofu, I will help you sell the bean sprouts too." ”

"That's a good idea, I'll go back and talk to my dad." Duan Xiang didn't dare to agree immediately, he was not afraid of trouble, but Duan Wu was different from him.

Duan Xiang went back and told Duan Wuyi about it, and the father and son came together again.

Parsley hastily finished her meal and gave up her stool.

As soon as Duan Wu sat down, he handed Duan Wen a cigarette.

Duan Wen hardly smokes, but this time he didn't refuse.

He slowly swallowed the clouds and exhaled the mist, and the whole person was anesthetized by the smell of cigarettes, and he was silent for a long time.

Duan Wu also lit one for himself, and his face was wrinkled at the smoke that suddenly rushed up. He fanned his eyes with his big hand, and the smoke that had been dispersed quickly gathered together again.

The old brothers had not sat together on their knees for a long time, and for a while, neither of them spoke, quietly immersed in the bitterness of tobacco, and even their expressions became the same as the taste of tobacco.

Probably infected, Parsley they worked hard, no one was lazy, and no one was silent.

Duan Wu broke the silence, "How was the business of selling hot tofu yesterday?" ”

Duan Wen sighed bitterly, "All the money earned yesterday was defeated by Qiu Ping all at once!" ”

A sigh could hardly soothe the breath in his stomach!

"It's getting better slowly."

Duan Wu's comfort had the opposite effect, and Duan Wen said hatefully: "With her, it will never be better!" ”

Duan Wu hurriedly shifted the topic to Xiangqin, "Isn't there still Xiangqin!" Seeing that Duan Wen's face softened, he knew that what he said was right, and hurriedly praised Xiangqin while the iron was hot, "Xiangqin has many ideas and is capable, as long as she is here, you will wait to enjoy happiness in the future!" Look at her and beautiful, whose young man will not be rare in the future? ”

"The more you talk about it, the farther it goes." Duan Wen complained like this, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face.

"Then let's talk closer." Duan Wu snuffed out the cigarette butt and lost the demeanor of the joke just now. He glanced at Duan Xiang, and then said to Duan Wen seriously, "When Cai Xiangzi goes back, tell me." You sell hot tofu and help us sell bean sprouts, and I'm not afraid to trouble you about this. This is all until the end of the year, after the winter solstice, after the winter solstice is New Year's Day, it is time for the New Year, and you need money at any time. When I come back from the winter vacation this autumn and lotus, I have to pay the tuition......"

Seeing Duan Wu's red eyes as he spoke, Duan Wen interrupted with a word, "It's not my idea to say what you're doing!" ”

Duan Wen sat here and listened for a long time, didn't his brother just want to express a meaning when he said so much. Even if Duan Wu wanted to say "thank you", he shouldn't have said it to him, he was embarrassed to hear it.

Duan Xiang on the side blushed. Xiangqin helped sell the bean sprouts, and he swore to make it clear to Duan Wu. But he also knows that it is not good for the older generation to say a thousand words of gratitude to the younger generation.

Listening to what the second grandfather said to Duan Wen, Xiangqin's heart was quite touched. She regretted it a little.

She also helped her second grandfather's family sell bean sprouts on a whim, and she knew that she was not in a hurry to talk to Duan Xiang, so she discussed it with Duan Wen in advance.

The current Duan Wen seems to be stained with her light, which makes people feel awkward.

Seeing that the atmosphere was embarrassed, Xiangqin smiled and played a round, "Second grandpa, the family doesn't talk about the two families, you and my grandfather still know what to do so clearly." ”

"That's it," Duan Yongyuan echoed, "If we have anything to do in the future, I'm embarrassed to ask you for help?" ”

Duan Wu smirked, his words had already been made clear, and he had no burden in his heart.

He didn't stay long, sat for a while, and then went back to fill the bean sprouts.
