When I got home, it was still early, and my grandmother hadn't taken Wang and my aunt to cook dinner, so she walked around the yard, thinking that the little aunt didn't know where to run in the afternoon, but saw the uncle with a fishing net in his hand coming back with a proud expression.

At this time, there was not much farm work in the crops, and the uncle who couldn't speak just wanted to go to the county seat to find some odd jobs and no one urged him, so the uncle who was idle at home liked to go out for a walk when he had nothing to do, as long as he looked at his face, Zhang Jie could tell at a glance whether he had a harvest or not.

Seeing the smugness on the uncle's face, Zhang Jie knew that he had a good mouth tonight, otherwise, when he went up to take a look, a few live fish in the fishing net were the uncle's harvest today.

The children of the uncle's family in the yard were not there, otherwise they should have rushed up to surround them at this time, Zhang Jie, who was a little greedy, didn't hold back in the end, and leaned up with his eyes, who knew that the grinning uncle touched his head, and then gave himself a thumbs up.

Zhang Jie, who also laughed out loud, pointed to a few palm-sized fish, and then made a gesture of chirping.

Zhang Jie knew that the uncle had liked himself since he was a child, because at the beginning, the uncle who couldn't speak was ready to adopt a child from several brothers for him to adopt, and Zhang Jie was selected at the beginning.

Later, I heard that I wanted to inherit one from my uncle's family, but my sister-in-law didn't agree, and no one was mentioning it. But it may be because Zhang Jie's cheap father once promised to pass Zhang Jie to the uncle, so the uncle loves Zhang Jie very much on weekdays, although the uncle can't speak, but he really cares about Zhang Jie. If there is anything delicious on weekdays, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely Zhang Jie, not like grandpa, who always thinks of the third uncle's house first.

Sometimes Zhang Jie thinks that when he is developed one day, the first thing he will do is to marry a daughter-in-law to his uncle, in addition to buying a jade bracelet for the Wang family.

What's wrong with not being able to speak? Isn't silver a substitute for sweet words? With a lot of silver tickets, can't you exchange it for a pretty little lady?

"When I'm developed, I'll find an eighteen-year-old one for my uncle, and I don't want nineteen."

muttered to himself in his mouth, watched the uncle carry the fish into the kitchen, and Zhang Jie, who had been circling around the yard, went back to the room.

Wang is still making shoe samples for him, depending on Wang's strength, as if he will not give up if he does not wear new shoes on Zhang Jie's feet today. Wang, who was lying on the bed and bored, listened to Wang, who was making shoe patterns without raising his head, suddenly said:

"There's nothing to be close to your grandfather, you didn't look at Haozi's child, it's okay for grandpa to call long and short, a small mouth can coax the old man to the sky. The old man is happy, he naturally likes him, what delicious food and drink on weekdays are not all close to the third room? None of this is a thing. But if you really want to learn, even if your mother and your father work hard to make up enough for you to learn from Mengxue, without your grandfather's nod, it will be difficult, so ah, Xiaojie, mouth dessert, no matter what, you won't suffer, when you see your grandparents, you have to know how to call people, and make the old man and old lady happy, which is better than you are grasping and beating acacia flowers. What's the use of a worn hand? In addition to the mother's distress, who of them will look at you more? ”

Shook his head a little helplessly, it seems that the Wang family has taken his own Mengxue to heart, originally Zhang Jie really didn't have much enthusiasm for going to school, this year is not the world's nine-year compulsory education, a baby has to go to school, in this poor and remote place, ten babies may not be able to have a Mengxue, as for the proportion of children who are admitted to the school, and even Xiucai, it is even more amazing at the bottom, what do you want to be the title of the gold list, not much simpler than the top student in the college entrance examination in that world.

Therefore, Zhang Jie's original plan was to be at ease for two years, and when he could be on his own for a while, he was looking for a livelihood to see if he could use his skills to make some money for his family.

When the sun began to set, the Wang family, who stopped his work, went to the kitchen to work, and Zhang Jie, who had nothing to do, lay in the house for a while, really bored, so he went out for a walk.

Generally, only when the sun goes down, the yard will be lively, the children and adults in each house come out to breathe, to say that the craziest nature is the golden and silver eggs of the uncle's family, the yard is screaming and running, the third uncle's Zhang Hao is unlucky during this time, every day by his father caught reading and reading, a pair of small hands because of not good reading, I don't know how many boards the third uncle who was determined to teach a person to come out.

Zhang Yan, the eldest child of the third uncle's family, is eight and a half years old this year, but his temperament is too honest and honest, he is bullied by the children in the village on weekdays, and he will only wipe his nose by himself, and he never dares to fight back.

The third aunt is processing a few fish by the well, the golden egg and the silver egg are watching from the side, Wang and the old lady are busy in the kitchen, and the little aunt usually does not go out because she has to take two children who have not been weaned, so the little aunt generally does not interfere in the kitchen.

I swept around the yard with my eyes open, and I didn't see the third uncle and Zhang Hao, the father and son should be studying in the house, and when I saw that Grandpa Du was sitting on the stone table smoking an old cigarette pouch, he hesitated slightly, and Zhang Jie, who had been struggling for a moment in his heart, still leaned forward.

"Grandpa, it's going to take a while to eat, let's play with tigers and eat grasshoppers." Coming to the stone table, Zhang Jie, who had a little expectation on his face, said to the old man.

"Huh?" Maybe I didn't expect that the most naughty grandson would play with him, you must know that the old man always has a stiff face at home on weekdays, and in addition to the high hopes that Zhang Hao can talk to the old man, the other grandchildren are far away when they see the old man. Seeing that the old man's boy actually took the initiative to come to the door, could it be that the old man who smiled nodded and spit out the word 'en' from his nostrils, which was regarded as a promise.

"Hey, then I'll use a tiger, grandpa, you can use a grasshopper." There are drawn chess games on the stone table, and there is no need to draw chess scores, Zhang Jie picked up the small pebbles that are usually used to play these games on the ground to make grasshoppers, and then found a few small wooden sticks to make tigers, and after a while, he set up a formation.

The old man took a small pebble and put it forward at will, even if he took a step first, Zhang Jie on the side squinted his eyes slightly, obviously, the old man walked very casually this step, and he didn't put up any battle at all, it should be more about fighting Zhang Jie's thoughts, but Zhang Jie, who had to win a game and leave some thoughts for the old man, was extremely careful.

Obviously, the old man who didn't take Zhang Jie seriously at the beginning was killed by Zhang Jie so much that he lost his armor, and when the grasshoppers on the chessboard were eaten by Zhang Jie's four tigers, one-third of them were eaten, and none of the four tigers in Zhang Jie's hands were besieged, and the four tigers faintly formed a posture of attacking and defending together, and the old man who frowned slightly put the cigarette pouch in his hand, and his originally casual eyes had become a little solemn.

With the old man's seriousness, even if Zhang Jie still calculates every step he takes, he is still slowly reversed by the old man.

Seeing that the old man sacrificed one-third of the grasshoppers to successfully surround Zhang Jie's two tigers, and the other two tigers had also been forced into a corner, Zhang Jie was thinking for longer and longer, and there was a faint sweat on his forehead.

The old man who picked up his old cigarette pouch again on the side glanced at his grandson, who was contemplating and thinking, and there was a slight difference in his cloudy eyes.

When the grandmother in the kitchen shouted for dinner, a game of chess was still not finished, and the old man who threw the flag at random finally spoke: "Let's stop here today, if you want to play, tomorrow our grandfather will continue." ”

When the flag was disrupted, Zhang Jie, who had a feeling of relief, breathed a sigh of relief, but he really didn't expect that he would still lose if he had calculated or not, and had already taken advantage of the old man's carelessness to eat one-third of his chess pieces.

Well, Zhang Jie lost this game, according to the rest of the chess path, at most two moves, Zhang Jie's last tiger will definitely be blocked by the surging grasshoppers, I really didn't expect that when I had completely done my best, I couldn't even win the old man who didn't use half of his energy, which made Zhang Jie have to redefine the head of the family who always seems too unkind.

No matter what Zhang Jie thinks, dinner will naturally start as usual, but the only difference is probably a few children on the table who are hungry for fragrance.

When everyone's dishes and chopsticks are served, you can clearly feel the preference of the old lady in charge of the meal.

Uncle caught three fish today, the largest stew soup was given to the third uncle, no one can fight for this, and no one can have any opinions, and the youngest one is in Zhang Hao's bowl, this kid is also sensible, he eats half of it himself, and the other half is given to his mother, that is, the third aunt follows her son to enjoy the blessings, and can share half of the fish.

As for the remaining one, it is not that the rest of the people divide it equally, grandpa loves to eat fish heads, so the fish head is given to grandpa, uncle and uncle each have a piece of fish meat in the bowl, the little aunt because she wants to feed the child, grandma specially served him a bowl of fish soup, and the rest of the children are probably a little fishy in each child's bowl, and when they are divided into Zhang Jie's bowl, the rest are fish bones. I deliberately looked at my mother's bowl, well, it is also a fish bone.

Without much expression, he chewed the fish bones with his head stuffy, and regardless of the sharp fish bones grinding his teeth, Zhang Jie, who seemed to vent, struggled to swallow all the fish bones in the bowl into his stomach.

Poor people, it's good to be able to stick to the meat, no one thinks that Zhang Jie chewed all the fish bones and swallowed something wrong in his stomach, only the grandfather glanced at Zhang Jie halfway, but when he saw Zhang Jie's plain look, he didn't say anything.

It's just that no one knows that when Zhang Jie chewed these fish bones, his tongue was pricked with blood.

Zhang Jie doesn't like to eat fish, he doesn't like to eat in that world, usually even if he cooks fish at home, he doesn't taste a bite, but if he doesn't like to eat, it doesn't mean that you can not give it to him, just like now, he doesn't like to eat, but it doesn't mean that his mother Wang doesn't like to eat either, Zhang Jie definitely doesn't think that Wang will like to eat fish bones, and don't like to eat fish.

Therefore, when he put down the dishes and chopsticks, Zhang Jie silently made a decision, what should be fought for, what should be grabbed, and he would never let go easily.

Not for anything else, just for the fish in the bowl of the third aunt and the fish bones in the Wang's bowl.
