Volume 1: [City Chapter] Chapter 24 Too Old

Just when Niu Fen didn't know what to do, "squeak!", the door of the next room opened a crack, and a small head came out, and asked timidly: "You, who are you looking for?"

It was a little boy of eleven or twelve, very thin, so the head on his delicate neck looked a little bigger. There are a few white marks on the black and yellow face, which is thought to be due to malnutrition.

Niu Fen tried his best to look like a good person, smiled and said, "Hello, little friend!

"No, I'm alone. The child said.

Niu Fen: "There are other families in the village, can you help me call them out?"

"There is no one else, they have all moved to the county seat, and we are now the only family in the village. ”

Oh, I see. This kid is really naΓ―ve, he told me everything, so he wasn't afraid that I would abduct him? Niu Fen was very curious and asked, "Then why are you alone?"

"My grandfather is hospitalized, and my sister is in the hospital taking care of my grandfather. The child said.

"What about your mom and dad?"

"Dad sat in the classroom last year, Mom, Mom, she doesn't want me anymore, woo! She ran away with the second-rate son, woooooooo

Niu Fen stepped forward, rubbed his big head, and said, "Don't cry, don't cry, okay, don't cry, go, go into the house." ”

Niu Fen followed the little boy into the house, sat down on the long high stool next to the square table in the lobby, carefully avoiding the injured part, and looked at everything in the room.

Above the wall in the middle of the lobby, on three pieces of badly faded red paper, Fang said:

Qingtang high true incense

The clans of the Qin clan in the past dynasties

Fortune thrives on the dragon god

Below is an old desk with a half-cut bamboo tube with a burned-out incense stick stuck in it.

There are also three couplets on the peeling walls on both sides, and in the lobby, in addition to the tables and chairs in the middle, there are only bamboo poles, flat poles, hoes and other tools leaning on the corners.

"Little brother, are you surnamed Qin?"

The child's sadness came and went quickly, and at this time the boy stopped crying and said, "Yes, my name is Qin Feng." ”

He let Niu sit down while he went into the kitchen in the back room, and after a while, the sound of cutting things came from the sound of cutting things, presumably preparing breakfast.

Niu Fen praised it in his heart, and sat down peacefully, planning to have breakfast here.

Not long after, the little boy came out and asked Niu Fen, "Do you have a lighter?" ”

"Uh, I didn't. "Niu Fen hasn't smoked since his soul passed through, so naturally he doesn't have fire on his body.

"Oh. The little boy returned to the back kitchen disappointed.

Niu Fen also followed into the back room, wanting to see how he was going to make a fire now.

The boy found several lighters on the stove, but all of them were out of order, either they didn't catch fire or they ran out of gas.

I saw that he skillfully dismantled one of the lighters, took out the electronic lighter inside, and dismantled another one with gas to replace the electronic lighter.

Boom! Flames were struck, and he succeeded.

Such a smart child, after all, he only looks like he is in his teens.

Niu Fen was stunned, and said in his heart that there was still this kind of operation. "Qin Feng, how old are you?"

"9 years old. ”

Isn't it, you're only nine years old? I thought you were a few years old! You're too old.

In fact, it is right to be sensible earlier.

"Xiao Feng, come, I'll help you make the pot. "You can't watch a child busy before and after, Niu Fen volunteered to help.

"Hmm. ”

An hour later.

"Oh, you get up, don't you burn it, I'll burn it myself. Qin Feng finally mustered up the courage to drive the cow over and burn it himself. Obviously, the fire in the stove was good, and the water in the pot was about to boil, but this stupid uncle still added firewood to it, but he blocked it and put it out. Seven fires, each time like this, is really stupid.

Niu Fen was embarrassed, so he had to return to the hall with a smoked black face.

Sitting on the stool bored, the cow yawned hard, and before he knew it, he fell asleep on the table. After walking for most of the night, he was indeed tired enough.

In his sleep, Niu Fen vaguely heard the sound of Suosuo eating, so he snorted from the corners of his mouth and wet his sleeves.

Qin Feng sat at the square table with a large bowl, and in the bowl was sweet potato porridge and a few radish strips. He pulled the chopsticks and ate deliciously, and while eating, he looked at Niu Fen who was sleeping on the table with his big round eyes open, and he didn't mean to wake him up to eat together.

"Shame! Such a big person is still hungry. The little boy whispered disdainfully.

Niu Fen was woken up by hunger, and when he woke up, it was already three poles in the sun.

Niu Fen wiped the residual saliva from the corner of his mouth with his slap, and saw Qin Feng sitting next to him seriously, writing his summer vacation homework.

Niu Fen yawned and said, "Xiao Feng, is the rice cooked?"

"I've finished eating. Qin Feng didn't dare to look at Niu Fen and said.

Children don't lie at all, and their hearts are written on their faces.

Niu Fen got up and walked to the kitchen without seeing it.

Qin Feng was anxious, and chased into the kitchen in a panic, "Why are you going, don't rummage, there is really nothing to eat." ”

Niu Fen lifted the lid of the log cauldron on the stove and saw that there was a clay bowl in the pot, the clay bowl was covered with a lid, and there was water boiling around it, obviously stewing something.

"There's nothing to eat, so what is this?" Niu Fen said and was about to uncover the clay cover.

"Don't! that's~" The little boy wanted to stop it, but Niu Fen had already removed the lid, and he was hot and hurriedly put it down.

"Ahh ”

"No, it's not stewed for you. Qin Feng's anxious tears came out. "This is the chicken I stewed for my grandfather, you are not allowed to rob it. ”

Looking at the tears on his little face, Niu Fen was silent, although he was indeed hungry and panicked now, he couldn't be this bad guy and eat chicken. Looking at this family, it is not easy to think about it. Niu Fen felt that he had indeed gone too far just now.

Niu thought for a long time, and said, "Otherwise," he dragged the suitcase over and continued, "I paid for this chicken." He unzipped the bag and pushed it at the feet of the little boy named Qin Feng.

Qin Feng is indeed very sensible, he knows that his grandfather needs a lot of money to see a doctor and be hospitalized now, so he hesitated to squat down and stretched out his hand to open the opening of the travel bag.

Qin Feng may have no concept of money, looking at the bundles of red tickets in his bag, he didn't react at all.

It shouldn't be, it's so calm, well, this son will become a big thing in the future. Niu Fen sighed.

"The money is clear, the money is yours now, this chicken, well, I'll see if it's cooked. Niu Fen said, opened the lid with a rag, and found a pair of chopsticks to poke the chicken.

"It's already rotten, hehe, you're welcome. Niu Fen brought the whole clay bowl of stewed chicken outside, sat down on the table and began to eat.

There was a little too much rock sugar, Niu Fen was a little tired of drinking chicken soup, and when he looked up and saw the corner of Qin Feng's clothes, the kid was hiding behind the door to peek at him eating chicken, and Niu Fen could hear him swallowing saliva.

"Xiao Feng, come, come here. Niu Fen shouted.

"Well, there's still chicken heads, chicken feet, and chicken butts left, for you to eat. Niu Fenfen said with a full burp.

"No, I" "Don't." Qin Feng stared at the few pieces of chicken soaked in the chicken soup with his eyes, shook his head and said.

Niu Fen saw that he obviously wanted to eat, but he shook his head and refused, and said with a smile: "Don't be, then I'll throw it away, anyway, I'm already full, I can't eat, you really don't want it?"

"Okay, okay, then you wait. Saying that, Qin Feng entered the back room, and came out after a while, holding two neat stacks of banknotes in his hand, which were 20,000 yuan, he handed them to Niu Fen and said, "Count the money I paid for it." ”

Niu Fen's face twitched, this stupid boy is really good, he is learning and selling now, and he has learned all the housekeeping skills of Lao Tzu, will I be mixed up in the future?

Seeing that Niu Fen didn't answer, Qin Feng put 20,000 yuan in front of Niu Fen, picked up the chicken soup and ran, and went back to the kitchen to eat chicken.
