Baishao Village is located at the foot of Luming Mountain, close to the back mountain of Luming Academy, and the whole village is only a few dozen families and hundreds of people. Although the village is not large, the families are quite rich.

Because of the backdrop of Luming Mountain, this place can be regarded as a treasure land with beautiful scenery, but at this time it has entered winter, and it is a foggy land as far as the eye can see, but it seems to have a bit of fairy spirit.

Su Tong sat in the hall wrapped in a thick jacket and chatted with her grandmother and aunt to roast the fire, it was the first time she came to Baishao Village in winter, which was colder than Sifang City.

Su Tong wore an extra jacket inside, which looked a little bloated, but she was already thin and small, and she was not ugly at all when she wore it, and with the baby fat on her face, it was even more cute, like the Fuwa that her uncle had just cut out of red paper.

"Sister Tong, I'll bake sweet potatoes for you to eat."

The little cousin Huang Dou is seven years old this year, it is the age of being lively and active, and the house is running around without stopping, and at this time, he took two sweet potatoes out of nowhere and threw them into the brazier, splashed a nose of charcoal ash, and said to Su Tong with a smile.

"Soybeans, you put them lightly, and the ashes will make you flutter out." My aunt stretched out her hand to slap Soybean's little buttocks, Soybeans had long been used to it, and they didn't care at all, and threw two sweet potatoes into the brazier, and they were still thinking about giving them to grandma and his mother.

My aunt scolded Huang Dou a few words, and when she saw that he was snorting and didn't know where to go, she could only smile helplessly at Su Tong and said, "He is this monkey character, and he doesn't listen to the scolding." Then he picked up a burning stick and gently peeled off the charcoal ashes and buried the sweet potatoes underneath.

Su Tong hadn't baked a sweet potato before, so he thought it was very interesting, so he went outside to pick up a branch and stirred the charcoal fire like his aunt.

For roasted sweet potatoes, my aunt is obviously very experienced, and she counted the time to pick out the sweet potatoes and poked them twice to know whether they were ripe or not. The two smaller ones were already ripe, and the older two were buried before they were fully ripe.

When it was a little cooler, my aunt broke open a sweet potato, handed half to Su Tong, half to Mrs. Yang, and shouted soybeans to the door.

The roasted sweet potatoes have a black and sloppy appearance, which is particularly ugly, and the hands of the potatoes have also turned black.

But as soon as it is broken, the sweet aroma can't wait to burrow into the nasal cavity, the orange-red and orange-red core is steaming with a hint of heat, and the greedy insects in the stomach are restless.

Take a bite, sweet and soft, making people feel happy.

Soybeans love roasted sweet potatoes, and as soon as they smell the sweet potatoes, they come out, which is better than his mother tearing her throat and shouting.

"Mother, why hasn't the second brother come back yet?" The soybeans themselves were full, and half of them were left for their brother in the school.

"Soon, quickly, you put the sweet potatoes on the stove first, and your brother will be able to eat them when he comes back."

Su Tong has four uncles and an aunt, the aunt married into another village, and the four uncles have also split up, and they all live their own lives, Mrs. Yang naturally follows her eldest son, so Su Tong lives in her uncle's house every time she comes.

The eldest uncle has no daughters, only three sons, the eldest son is called Chidou, and he followed his uncle to do business in Sifang City, and only returned home once in three or five days; The second son's name is Mung Dou, one year younger than Su Tong, and he goes to school in the only school in the village; The third son is a soybean, and he is a good trick or mischievous.

"Mother, mother," Huang Dou put the sweet potato into the stove and warmed it, and shouted again when he returned to the hall, "Shall I pick up the second brother, I'll take Sister Tong with me, she hasn't seen our school yet." ”

Without waiting for his mother to answer, he shook Su Tong's hand and begged: "Sister Tong, let's go pick up the second brother together, let's go." ”

Su Tong was afraid of the cold, so he didn't want to go, but he couldn't stand the coquettishness of soybeans and had to agree, Mrs. Yang and Aunt Yang were both people who didn't like to restrain their children, so they told them a few words of "be careful of slippery roads" and so on, and let them go.

Huang Dou is naughty and naughty, but he is a caring and good brother, he took Su Tong's hand and carefully avoided the mud puddle on the road, and also enthusiastically introduced her to the only school in their village.

It turned out that the school was built by the village the year before last, and in the past, the children of Baishao Village had to go to the next town or the Sifang City to go to school.

In fact, it is not difficult to build a school according to the wealth level of the village, the key is that the gentleman is not easy to invite, they disdain to invite those who have no fame, most of the meritorious people are looking forward to being officials, and those who can't be officials also want to run to the city.

"Our Baishao Village is too small." Huang Dou followed his father's example and sighed old-fashionedly.

Don't look at his young age, he knows a lot, and even if he doesn't understand what he has heard, he can learn seven or eight points.

"Sister Tong, Sister Tong, do you know who the gentleman invited by our village is?" Huang Dou looked mysterious, and said excitedly: "It's the elder brother of the Lu family, when he was a child, he and his eldest brother almost burned down our kitchen, and asked my father to catch him and beat him hard." ”

Su Tong didn't know what he called "Brother Lu", and when he saw him talking about people being beaten, he only felt funny, "How do you know so much?" ”

"What my mother said, my mother also said-" Huang Dou learned from his mother's appearance, frowning, "-When they were children, both of them were just as naughty, how did they grow up, and even Xiucai was admitted, and our red beans were stupid all day long. ”

"Poof-" Su Tong bent down, his eyes narrowed slightly with a big smile, this cousin was so funny.

Su Tong's attention was on Huang Dou, and she didn't notice that they had already walked to the door of the school, and her laughter attracted everyone in the school to look over.

Mung Bean sat by the window, and found them when Huang Dou was talking to his mother, and when he saw the master and his classmates looking at the two, he only felt that his face was burning in a panic.

He deliberately coughed loudly twice, and when he saw Huang Dou coming over, he hurriedly gave Huang Dou a look, and Huang Dou stuck out his tongue and quickly tugged Su Tong's sleeve.

Su Tong noticed something was wrong, and when she looked up, she saw more than twenty pairs of eyes staring at her, thinking of her laughter just now, Su Tong's face turned red and transparent, and she was so ashamed that she couldn't wait to find a crack to get into.

She moved her steps slightly, trying to hide behind Soybean, but forgot that Soybean was not as tall as her.

"Keep going with the class."

Su Tong only felt that this was the sound of heaven, saving her from fire and water, and sure enough, as soon as the master spoke, Su Tong felt that those eyes had left her, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She looked at her master gratefully, and saw that it was a well-mannered young man, dressed in a gray robe that was a little old-fashioned, but he spoke slowly and elegantly.

As if sensing her gaze, the Master nodded slightly at her and continued his lesson.

Su Tong felt that this person was not at all like the person who was so naughty that he could burn down the kitchen as Huang Dou said.

Su Tong pulled the soybeans and stood outside the door for a while, the school was over, and as soon as the master left, the students were like wild horses on the loose, one running faster than the other.

Not to mention Mung Bean, the first one rushed out of the classroom, pulled Su Tong and Huang Dou and ran home, he didn't want Su Tong to hear the ridicule of his classmates at all.
