On the side of a small river at the entrance of a village, several teenagers and girls of seventeen or eighteen years old were playing by the river. A somewhat emaciated boy holding a bamboo in the river with one sharpened end. Every now and then, he plunges into the water.

"Brother Li Yan, can you do it, if you can't do it, let me come, I'm very good at this." Wen Monkey shouted on the shore.

"You have to believe your eldest brother and me, let me try again, if not, you can go again, how about it?" Li Yan took the bamboo and plunged it into the water and said.

"Okay then."

Li Yan looked at the fish swimming by in the water from time to time, and a relatively large fish swam from not far away, Li Yan looked at it and said in his heart: "It's you, big brother, you give face, otherwise you will lose face today." ”

When he took the bamboo and watched the big fish swim to his side, he plunged down, and a faint red slowly appeared in the water, Li Yan looked at the faint new red, and laughed The bamboo picked it up, and at the tip of the bamboo, a fish at least three or four catties big was swinging.

"Dead monkey, didn't you say that my brother can't do it, you see what this is, and it's not small." Li Yan shook the bamboo pole and said.

"Brother Li Yan is amazing." Wen Monkey said with a slight blush.

A few girls next to him also echoed and said.

"Brother Li Yan, let me and Sister Xiaojing make fish soup for you to drink at Grandpa Zhang's house with this fish." Wang Yan pulled a girl beside her, this girl was Wen Monkey's sister, Wen Jing.

These two people say that they are sisters and brothers, but the appearance of the two is not like a brother and sister at all, Wen Monkey is a person who enters his name, thin like a monkey, and looks like his father, Wen Jing looks sweet, if you dress up well, you are wearing makeup or something, it is simply a beauty embryo. looks like her mother, and beauty is not to mention, it is simply a heaven and an earth.

"Okay, it just so happens that we haven't eaten the food cooked by Sister Wen Jing for a long time." Wen Monkey said on the side.

"Okay, I haven't eaten Wen Jing's meal for a long time, so we are all together, and we get together for a meal." Li Yan went ashore and threw the fish in his hand to Wen Monkey and said.

After going ashore, Li Yan walked towards a house in the middle of the village. The house has three rooms, and the kitchen is one next to the house, which is made of wooden planks.

"Grandpa, I'll come back, we'll eat fish at noon in a few days." Li Yan walked to the door and called.

Hearing the voice, an old man in his fifties and sixties came out of the house, and the old man was in good spirits. The old man who came out glanced at Li Yan and said; "You kid knows how to play everywhere all day long, and you don't read books when you read them."

This person is Li Yan's grandfather, named Zhang Xin, and in this village, he is still very hopeful of the elderly. Just because this is one of the few educated and knowledgeable people in this village, it is also the leader of the cultural people in this village.

After the old man finished reprimanding, he looked behind Li Yan and said with a smile: "Wen Jing, you are also here, come and sit in the house." Zhang Xin entered the house after finishing speaking. Li Yan and the others followed. Wen Jing and Wang Yan went in the direction of the kitchen.

Li Yan and Wen Monkey entered the room and sat on the stool casually, Zhang Xin looked at the two, then looked outside the door, and said, "Wen Jing, have they talked about it?" ”

"You said sister, he went to the kitchen to get food, isn't it almost noon?"

"It's better to be quiet, this kid is well-behaved, sensible, and diligent, unlike this kid, who knows how to play and has nothing to do." When Zhang Xin said this, he glanced at Li Yanda, who hated iron and steel.

When Li Yan heard Zhang Xin's words, he only touched his nose helplessly, and then turned his head. It's like it's the first time I've heard it, as if I haven't heard it.

When a few people were chatting, Wen Jing and Wang Yan came in with dishes, three dishes and one soup, which was not bad, and it seemed that it was full of color, flavor, and flavor, with simple ingredients, it was possible to make such a delicious taste, and it could be seen how good Kai Wenjing's cooking skills were.

Zhang Xin tasted a bite of food and teased: "Wen Jing, this girl's cooking skills just don't have to say, she will definitely be able to marry a good family in the future." ”

Wen Jing, who was sitting next to Li Yan, heard Zhang Xin's words, and said with a slight flush: "Grandpa Zhang, you love to laugh." Wen Jing didn't know if she looked at Li Yan when she said this.

"Girl, this is not a joke, now that you are an adult, and you will be in two years and ten years, it's time to find someone." Zhang Xin heard Wen Jing's words, and said in a straight tone.

"But it's up to you to choose, and that's what our old fellow is here to say. If there is a suitable one, seize the opportunity, and if you miss it, it will be a lifelong regret, and you can't be like the old man. ”

"Oh, and, Wen Monkey, you will accompany this guy Li Yan to the county seat tomorrow. I asked him to take care of a little thing, but I don't worry about him alone, so you two can take care of each other. After Zhang Xin finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, and said to Wen Monkey again.

"Grandpa, what do you want me to do?" Li Yan asked.

"I'm telling you tomorrow that the rest of the day is long gone." Li Yan asked, but Zhang Xin didn't, but said something else.

After everyone finished eating together, everyone who should leave left, and Li Yan and Zhang Xin were left in a room. Li Yan watched everyone leave, and was about to slip away, but was stopped.

"Stop, I want to sneak out again, I have something to say to you." Zhang Xin saw that Li Yan was leaving, so he stopped and said.

Li Yan only came back and sat on the chair helplessly, and said with a reluctant look: "Say, what's the matter." ”

"You guy, you make me look like I'm going to eat you." Zhang Xin heard Li's tone, and said angrily: "You are nineteen years old this year, and next year will be Double Ten, you should also think about doing something and achieving a career, don't you say it's big, if you add your wife and children's food and clothing problems, I can't support you for a lifetime, I'm old, and I don't have a few years left, before I die, you have to let me hug my grandson, it's time for you to start a family, I think Wen Jing is a very good girl, and when I have time, I will go to Wen Jing's parents' house to help you talk about it." ”

Zhang Xin said this, and his face became expectant.

Li Yan: "Grandpa, it's still early for me to get married, and you will live to be 100 years old, not to mention whether you will die or not." ”

"Heh, I think you wish I was dead, and no one would care about you, so you can do whatever you want." Zhang Xin heard Li Yan's words and scolded with a smile.

Li Yan: "How can this be, I know that you are doing this for my good." ”

Zhang Xin: "Okay, don't talk about this, you must not cause trouble tomorrow, and come back to me well." ”

Li Yan: "Grandpa, you haven't told me what the hell is going on, and you actually want me to go to the county seat." ”

"Didn't you say it, I'll tell you tomorrow, didn't you hear, okay, go and rest, you still have to do things tomorrow." Li Yan asked, but Zhang Xin still didn't explain.

This made Li Yan speechless, but he didn't do it, but he will know tomorrow.

At the end of the next day, the two stood in front of the city gate, looking at the passers-by who entered and left the city, and the two looked at each other and smiled. These two people are Li Yan and Wen Monkey, who set off from the village early this morning. The two walked for nearly two hours and finally arrived in Fen County.

The two of them walked on the street, and there were many goods and snacks on both sides of the street, and there were juggling performances at intervals, such as a bowl of water and chopsticks, and a large stone on the chest.

"It turns out that there is so much fun to see in the county, and this is the first time I've come to such a place." Wen Monkey is like a soil bun entering the city, (in fact, it is a soil bun entering the city), looking around everywhere, seeing anything new, Li Yan saw Wen Monkey like this, only shook his head helplessly, but he didn't stop it, and waited for him to do so. After all, whoever comes to such a place for the first time is the same.

But when he thought of this, Li Yan didn't feel strange, he and Zhang Xin didn't seem to be so curious to look around at the beginning, Zhang Xin also said at that time: "You guy is really okay, others will look around curiously when they enter the city for the first time at your age, you are good, as if you have been here." ”

Li Yan said: "It's not something weird, there's something to look at." ”，，，，，。

The two of them went all the way to a slightly remote shop in the city, Li Yan looked up at the plaque, and when he entered the store, Wen Monkey was already curious to follow up.

The shop is full of books, which are very commonplace. For example, what is the three-character classic, the Analects, etc. There are also a few more precious books, for the common people.

"What kind of books do you need?" After Li Yan and the others entered, a woman in her twenties came to Li Yan and the others and asked.

"I'm looking for your boss, I have something to give him, please help us inform us."

"Find the boss, okay, wait for me, I'll come when I go." After the woman finished speaking, she went to inform her. After a while, in front of the woman, there was an old man in his fifties.

The person who came out saw Li Yan and said with a smile: "It turned out to be you kid, why didn't that old guy come." ”

"Grandpa Zhang, grandpa, he has something to do, let me come." When Li Yan answered the old man's question, he took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Zhang Caishu, and said, "This is what Grandpa asked me to give to you." He said you'd give me something after reading the letter. ”

"Huh? Oh, let's see, what he said. Zhang Caishu took the letter and opened it.
