It rained lightly at night, and in the early morning of the next day, Xiao Wei felt the coolness when he got up. An autumn rain and a cold, the mountains and forests are empty, and the chill is even more chilly.

In the morning, Lao Bai cooked millet porridge, took out pickled vegetables, and baked a lot of flatbread. There are many people in the village, and the people in the half village have to help every time they cook, but Rao is so, Lao Bai still gets up to prepare things, wake up with noodles, wash vegetables and cut vegetables. Xiao Wei thought that she would be with Mei Yuexue day and night and couldn't sleep happily, so she got up very early, pushed the door and saw that the mountains outside were misty, wet and cold, and all the sounds were silent, only the sound of the rain, she didn't feel melancholy, but felt very beautiful and quiet. She braved the rain and ran all the way into the kitchen, Lao Bai saw her from a distance and smiled: "Yo, I got up early, okay, someone is here to help me work!" ”

Xiao Wei ran in with a grin and asked, "What's delicious today?" Lao Bai said: "Baked flatbread." ”

Xiao Wei's eyes were already purring, staring at the ingredients on the table rolling around, and suddenly smelled a sweet fragrance, she opened the cauldron on the stove, which was boiling millet and pumpkin, Xiao Wei raised her nose and took a breath, and couldn't help but sigh: "Ah, it's so fragrant!" ”

Lao Bai listened to her praise, and his heart was also happy, and he said angrily: "Come and help." ”

"Okay, how can I help?" Xiao Wei happily agreed like a little bird, and Lao Bai said: "Help me watch the fire, don't let it go out, don't burn too much, and look at the porridge in the pot by the way, don't stick to the pot." ”

"Okay." Xiao Wei happily sat on the small bench next to the fire, the heat in the hearth dispelled the cold, and his whole body was warm. Xiao Wei is happy to do this job, it is easy and comfortable. Lao Bai also handed her a handful of sunflower seeds, and Xiao Wei stayed by the fire like this, chatting with Lao Bai while eating melon seeds. Lao Bai kneaded the dough and said to Xiao Wei: "I loved to eat when I was a child, and I was very good at eating, and I was very good at eating. My father was a cook, and at that time, he co-founded a stall to sell soup cakes, and I helped him watch the fire. When he said this, he straightened his waist, and suddenly turned his head to look at Xiao Wei and said: "I was the same as you are now, hey, I feel very nostalgic when I think about it now, and now my father and his old man have been dead for five or six years." ”

Xiao Wei shook her head and smiled, "I haven't seen my parents...... Ah, I've probably seen and forgotten it, I can't be white. I have no relatives, only brothers and sisters who wander together. I don't know what it's like to lose a loved one, and some of the brothers and sisters who wandered later were injured and died, and I didn't seem to have anything to be sad about, and I didn't care much about it, but ......" she said here and raised her head to look at Lao Bai and said: "Why listen to you now, I feel sour in my heart." ”

Lao Bai was stunned and said, "Huh? Then you're even more bitter than me, hey! It's not easy for you to be alone. Forget it, we don't want to do it before, now we have food, clothing, housing, and a good life, what could be better than this? I'm to blame for this, I won't say anything. ”

Xiao Wei smiled: "It's okay, anyway, we will be a family in the future, we will be blessed and enjoy the same hardships, let's start again!" I've always liked to look forward, and I believe that the future will be better than the present. ”

Lao Bai was also deeply moved, swept away the gloom on his face, and showed a gloomy smile, Xiao Wei suddenly thought of something and exclaimed: "Lao Bai, it's raining today!" Anyway, it's nothing, otherwise let's make dumplings and eat! People say that rainy days are good days for making dumplings, and I have never made dumplings, can you teach me? ”

Lao Bai was stunned, his eyes lit up and said, "Yes, we have been here for the past two years, but we have really never eaten dumplings." ”

Xiao Wei said: "I'll tell you about it later, let's prepare to make it together, everyone will do it, and they will also taste the dumplings they wrap." ”

Lao Bai agreed repeatedly: "Okay, let's pack it together, it just so happens that you enter the village on the first day, which is a ceremony to welcome you." ”

As soon as he said this, suddenly someone outside spoke: "What kind of person is he, why should he welcome her." Lin Yi walked in from outside, took the umbrella and put it at the door, Xiao Weiyin knew that he was targeting himself, but he smiled and said: "Yo, Lin Shaoxia, morning, where is the owner of the village?" Lin Yi glanced at her and said: "You still dare to find the owner of the village, you made him angry enough yesterday, the owner of the village allowed you to enter the village is already a great gift, I advise you to stay away from the owner of the village in the future." ”

Xiao Wei didn't seem to hear the smell of gunpowder in Lin Yi's words, and laughed: "He is really angry enough? Hahaha......"

"You ......" This made Lin Yi a little embarrassed, and said angrily: "You can still laugh!" ”

Xiao Wei hurriedly said: "Don't don't, don't be angry!" Was he really angry later? Is he still angry now, or I'll apologize to him! ”

As soon as Lin Yi heard this, he immediately said, "I told you to stay away from the owner of the village, didn't you hear?" ”

"Hahaha...... Okay, stay away from him, I'm not uncommon to be so close to him anyway. It's you, you're young, you're always fierce, I'm older than you, the elders are respected, you're too unkind to me. Well, call Sister to listen! Xiao Wei said, reaching out to touch his head, Lin Yi's face turned red, and he hurriedly blocked with his backhand, pushed his hand away and shouted angrily: "Go away!" Are you worthy to be said to be an elder before me? Not at all like an elder! Lin Yi said as he stepped back and exited far away.

Xiao Wei smiled secretly when he saw this, and said: "Today we make dumplings, please come to the master of Dazhai too, if he doesn't want to do it, just look at us to make it, otherwise it will be okay to command us to do it." It's all a family, and it's not good not to show up at this time. ”

Lao Bai also smiled and said: "Yes, Lin Shaoxia, please come to the master of the village!" Everyone was lively and lively together. ”

Lin Yi said: "Hmph, what is the identity of the owner of the village, how can he come forward for such a thing as making dumplings?" Lao Bai, don't help her. ”

Lao Bai muttered in embarrassment: "I'm not helping her, I really think this idea is not bad, everyone should like it." ”

Xiao Wei pouted and said: "That is, you are just a little follower next to the master of the village, and your words don't count, you tell the master of the village truthfully, if he doesn't want to come, then don't use it, we play our own, and there is no shortage of him." ”

"If I don't come, won't you turn the sky upside down?" A deep voice sounded outside, Xiao Wei heard this voice, his heart immediately jumped twice, and when he turned his head and saw that it was Mei Yuexue, he smiled and said, "Ah, you are here just talking about you!" ”

Mei Yuexue snorted, and said with a gloomy face: "What kind of person are you, you dare to put on a master's shelf, you don't forget your identity." When he said the last sentence, every word was gritted and said with great strength, staring at Xiao Wei with needles in his eyes, and every one of them was warning her: "This is Lao Tzu's territory!" Xiao Wei couldn't help but feel funny when she saw him guarding his territory like a big wolf dog, she wanted to blurt out that he was like a dog, but she was afraid that it would end up bad for annoying him, so she smiled and said: "I'm not afraid that Lin Yi won't tell you the truth, and deliberately provoke him, if you don't come, everyone is not in the mood to play."

Lao Bai also said: "Yes, the owner of the village, we are all thanks to you."

Mei Yuexue ignored Xiao Wei, waved her hand at Lao Bai and said, "You can do this kind of thing yourself, if everyone is willing, then I will definitely come."

At breakfast, everyone arrived, as soon as they said that they wanted to make dumplings, everyone was very novel, the grass shed was crowded with people, and they were noisy, this one shouted: "Okay, yes, there are dumplings to eat." The one called: "Nonsense, a group of big men, where will they wrap it!"

Xiao Wei motioned for everyone to be quiet, she jumped on the bench with her sleeves up, knocked a small iron pot with a rolling pin and shouted: "Everyone listen to me, if you don't know how to wrap, you can learn, anyway, we don't know anyone here except Lao Bai, and I won't either, no one laughs at anyone, for the sake of happiness, Lao Bai who can't teach everyone, anyway, it doesn't matter if it's good or not, you are not a woman, the husband is not informal, what's the use of the bag being so good-looking?" It's nice to be able to eat it, right? This is the spirit of our bandits! ”

Xiao Wei lived like a juggler, everyone had already laughed before she finished speaking, Mei Yuexue was sitting on the bench next to her, glanced sideways, and said secretly in her heart: "Rude!" However, he couldn't help but look at her again and again.

He can't think about it, a woman, with a bad background, like duckweed in the water, has nothing, no family background, no upbringing, no beauty, why can she still be so happy every day? She was carefree, like a bird, like a stream, like a cloud, and had as much fun as she wanted, as if there was nothing in the world that could restrain her. She smiled, like a beautiful sunshine, like a blooming flower, so that everyone who saw her smile could feel her joy, and was deeply infected by her, and became as happy as her, she is not a beautiful woman, but she is a very attractive woman, not everyone in the world loves money, but there is no one who does not like a pleasant mood.

He looked at Xiao Wei, who was standing on a stool waving a rolling pin and a wok, and listened to her "rude" and unworthy words, and couldn't help laughing anymore.

He didn't know why he laughed, whether he laughed at her for being stupid, laughing at her for being crazy, or laughing at her cuteness......

"No, no, no, how can I think she's cute, I'm crazy? She must be laughing at her like a fool, like a madman! This stupid woman is simply sick in the brain! Mei Yuexue thought secretly in her heart, frowning and shaking her head. Lin Yi on the side had a full view of all this, he saw the master staring at Xiao Wei stupidly, laughing for a while and frowning for a while, his expression was extremely strange, and he was even more puzzled in his heart. He looked at his master and then at Xiao Wei, and finally pouted and gave Xiao Wei a fierce look.

Of course, no one will refuse such a lively thing, although the days in the mountains are not bitter but really boring, this group of men play around is fighting crickets and catching fish, nothing new, although everyone has lived together for a long time, but they are not familiar with each other, now with Xiao Weilai organization, people are still those people, but life has become extraordinarily interesting. Where there is Xiao Wei, there is laughter, so everyone likes her, and when she mentions making dumplings, everyone is already eager to try, and they can't wait to start immediately.

Lao Bai said: "It's okay to wrap up, but I want to make it clear to everyone that you must be obedient, you are not allowed to waste food, and you must listen to the arrangement of what to do."

Everyone agreed repeatedly, after a quick breakfast, some people went to clean the dishes and chopsticks, some people wiped the table, some people prepared a grate for a while to put dumplings, some people chose vegetables to wash vegetables, some people peeled onions and garlic, Lao Bai and noodles, Xiao Wei waved a knife to chop meat under Lao Bai's guidance, pork is not easy to store, never buy much, but there are more than 30 catties, to say that it is also an extremely tiring thing to chop into stuffing, Lao Tie originally wanted to help her, but Xiao Wei insisted on doing it, Lao Tie saw that she was very interested, so it was not easy to whiff her interest, so she had to let her go, I went to help Lao Bai and noodles by myself.

Xiao Wei pulled her hair up high, tied her apron and rolled up her sleeves, waved two kitchen knives, and chopped the meat on the board to the earth's throat.

Mei Yuexue saw that everyone was busy with work, and she was not idle, but she didn't know anything, and she was even more reluctant to ask others for advice, so she used the excuse of decocting some tonic medicine for Lao Liu, who had diarrhea the day before yesterday, and sat at the door and looked at the half chicken in the casserole. Lao Liu has been unable to eat for a few days, he is the oldest in this village, and his body is the worst, such a small problem as diarrhea almost cost him half his life, Mei Yuexue knew that she just ate more cold fruits, and drank cold water, not poisoning, so she drew up a prescription to ask people to grab medicine and buy vegetables and grains by the way, Lao Liu has stopped diarrhea after taking a few doses, but his body is still very weak, Mei Yuexue thought of several warm and tonic medicinal diets to help him recuperate, and at this time looked at the medicine stove to resolve his embarrassment.

Xiao Wei's sound of chopping meat was particularly harsh among the noisy people in a room, Mei Yuexue couldn't help but look at her, seeing her teeth and claws, but she didn't know it, she secretly shook her head and scolded with a smile: "This dead woman, chopping meat is so noisy!" It's stupid. ”
