On the small bungalow, there were a lot of sharpened bamboo sticks, and thigh-thick tree poles, rattans, ropes, etc., and a thin young man was busy on it, as if to build a shed, and under the eaves, a handsome little girl sat on the wooden pier and read intently, and on the side sat an old man with gray hair and temples, smoking a dry cigarette, and his face was full of smiles, and he seemed to be very happy.

After two days passed, there were four brand-new chicken sheds on the small bungalow, feeding forty or fifty old hens was not a problem, the chicken shed gave people a very strong feeling, as if the ten-level typhoon could not be overturned, all around was tied with three layers of thick bamboo strips, and a layer of hay was sandwiched between the bamboo strips, leaving a crossroads in the middle of the chicken shed, which was convenient for people to pass.

After finishing the roof, the young man went to the yard again and got busy, as if there was always something to do, he tidied up the yard neatly, and the side was full of high firewood, and the front of the thatched house was full of bamboo shavings.

After the old man walked out of the courtyard gate, he looked up and saw the chicken shed on the small bungalow, and he was very surprised, the young man had been tossing on it for the past two days, but he did not tell him what he was doing, and he was very mysterious.

Yes, when I go to sell the basket in two days, I plan to buy a few chickens and raise them, the boy laughed.

Zhao Bawang, you teach me all the words you want to learn in the past few days at night, I will learn it quickly, and I will go to the countryside with you to sell the basket in two days, the girl jumped up and down to the old man, and said loudly to the young man.

Are your feet all right?, the boy rolled his eyes and said;

Are you blind? Don't you see that I was still bouncing just now?, or I'll show you a few more jumps, and the girl shook her head and snorted;

Okay, don't go, when you recognize all the words on those two language books, I'll take you there, or don't even think about it, the young man said angrily;

Haha, Zhao Bawang, do you think the words on those two books can be difficult for me? My memory is no worse than yours, you teach me twice, and then I read it twice, I can remember, I just want to write it down, it's a little difficult, the girl smiled proudly;

Let's talk about it when you're done learning, the teenager rolled his eyes, for the girl's learning ability, King Zhao has to admire, this girl is born a reading embryo, and her memory is even better.

The next day, King Zhao cut more than 20 bamboos, and only carried them back in the middle of the night, and when he came back, the girl had already made the meal, although it was just a potato slice and a pot of sauerkraut soup, but the boy tasted it very delicious.

The next day, he cut more than 20 bamboos into bamboo strips, and spent two or three days weaving more than 20 back baskets, after the bamboo strips were used up, it was not dark, the young man went out with a hoe again, the little girl took a book, like a little heel worm followed behind, originally King Zhao was not allowed to go, but Ye Xi learned words is really fast, King Zhao taught her last night, she can write silently, but the words are a little ugly, but it is better than what he wrote, the little girl also found an excuse, saying that he was working in the field, and he was next to review, It doesn't affect it, and the air inside the ground is good, which is good for reading.

Ten minutes later, King Zhao took Ye Xi to a hillside, where there are four or five acres of land owned by the old man, which used to be rented to a family surnamed Bian to grow potatoes, at the request of King Zhao, the old man asked it back, and then King Zhao planted some corn, soybeans, peppers and other crops in it, but this year King Zhao did not plant corn, if there is a plant, you can eat it in a few days.

He felt that planting corn was not very cost-effective, so he simply used it to grow soybeans and other vegetables, and planting soybeans was not as troublesome as planting corn, so later, he directly used three or four acres of land to plant soybeans, and when it was good, one acre of land could produce about 150 catties, enough for him and the old man to eat for a year, and the rest was sold, and the remaining one acre of land was used to grow vegetables, and as soon as he had free time, he would come to take care of it, but the vegetables he planted were not very good.

In the past, the corn flour, potatoes, and vegetable oil they ate were all bought back from the countryside, so saving a little, one or two hundred yuan a month is enough for expenses, but in the winter, they have to use a lot of money, and the month of spring is also, there is no coal fire in the house, and there is no way to live that day, but Zhao Wang is very smart, and he buys coal during the hottest time every year, and the coal at this time is dozens of yuan cheaper than in winter.

"Wow!"

Zhao Batian, the soybeans you planted can be eaten, hey, there are cucumbers there...... You also planted a tomato, the girl stood on the side of the road, her eyes widened, she looked incredible, and she only felt like stars were rising in front of her.

The cucumber was not planted by me, but I picked up a few seeds from the side of the road, and felt that it was a pity to throw them away, so I sprinkled it in it, but I didn't expect it to grow so well, and it also produced melons, go back tonight, let's get a mixed cucumber to eat, Zhao Wang said;

Okay, okay, mixed cucumbers, I like to eat it so much, the girl said excitedly;

It's just that the old man doesn't have this blessing, and he can't eat the beans, King Zhao sighed;

No, you can cut the beans finely, cut them very finely and cook them with corn flour into porridge, so that the old man can eat them, don't you know, the old man Li adopted some babies who were a few months old and had no milk for them to eat, so the wicked woman used beans, potatoes, rice, etc., all of them were ground into powder, and then boiled into porridge for those children to eat, but it worked, the girl said;

Oh, why didn't I think of doing this before, King Zhao suddenly came to his senses and slapped his forehead violently.

After working in the field for more than a while, King Zhao called it a day, and at the same time pulled a few soybeans and twisted them in his hands, while Ye Xi ran to pick two or three cucumbers and seven or eight longan-sized tomatoes, and did not forget to rub them on his body and throw one or two in his mouth.

These days, you can read well, wait for a few days, the wild fruits in the mountains are basically ripe, when the time comes, I will pick some for you, let you taste, see the little girl jumping behind him, King Zhao smiled;

"Well, I'll do a little bit harder, but you'll have to take me with you," the little girl nodded like a chick pecking rice.

Then it depends on your performance, King Zhao shrugged his shoulders and said;

"Hey, Zhao Bawang, I'm still so young, are you a pervert?"

The girl gasped suddenly, staggered back, and looked at the boy with a look of fear.

King Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted immediately, his face immediately turned black, and he almost scolded.

What are you thinking in your head? King Zhao rewarded her with a corn, glared and said;

Why are you beating me? What are you thinking about in my head, obviously you think about whether it is good or not, the girl is very aggrieved and indignant; don't think that I don't know the little Jiujiu in your heart, you just want to raise me to be your daughter-in-law, you want to be beautiful.

King Zhao's forehead was covered with black lines, and he wanted to twist this little girl and beat him.

If you talk nonsense again, don't think about going out with me in the future, the young man dropped a vicious word, turned around and left.

"Oh, Zhao Bawang has a red neck, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime encounter," the girl didn't take the boy's threat seriously, but chased after him from behind, teasing;

In the next few days, King Zhao sold more than 20 woven back baskets, earning nearly 400 yuan, and at the same time bought more than 30 chicks in the countryside, first put them in the yard for a period of time, and bought more than 200 catties of not very good corn kernels.

These days, Ye Xike is happy, when King Zhao goes out to sell the basket, or when she is not at home, she runs to the field to get some vegetable leaves and weeds back, while reading and learning arithmetic, while feeding the chicks, that is called a very happy, the old man likes to sit in the corner of the window and smoke a dry cigarette, seeing the new scenery in the small courtyard, the corner of the old man's mouth set up a faint smile.

In an instant, a month has passed, the old man's body bones are gradually aging, but he can still move, Ye Xi has memorized more than 2,000 words in this month, and at the same time, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within 1,000 is not difficult for her, and she can also list the equations, but King Zhao can't understand these anymore, and he is not less hit by the girl.

At noon, King Zhao returned, but today he did not carry green bamboo, eggs or corn kernels, but bought a small iron stove less than two feet high, and a new pot that was not large.

Zhao Bawang, do you want to learn how to boil those tea eggs to sell? As soon as Zhao Wang entered the courtyard, the girl who was studying seriously immediately put down her book and jumped up, and asked;

How do you know? The young man who had just entered the door suddenly looked at the girl in surprise, he hadn't told the girl about it.

You bought so many eggs, and bought some tea, star anise, and other things back, I will know as soon as I guess, the girl said triumphantly;

Seeing the proud appearance of the girl, King Zhao didn't have a good breath, you are so powerful, very powerful.

Yes, yes, but you don't have to feel inferior, I'm a little better than you, the girl stretched out her hand, and the distance between her thumb and index finger was two centimeters, and she grinned;

King Zhao stepped forward and slapped the little girl's head with his hand, "I'm playing, I don't want to deal with you." ’

"Hmph, you jealous ghost," the girl stomped her foot angrily, grimaced at King Zhao in dissatisfaction, and turned away in a sloppy manner.

Is he still sleeping, old man? Is there anything wrong with me today? King Zhao asked after putting down the small iron stove;

Little calf, do you want me to feel uncomfortable so much? Your conscience was eaten by the little wild dog fed by Lao Yang? As soon as the old man opened the door and came out, he heard King Zhao's words, and immediately squinted his eyes and scolded;

Oh, old man, you are still alive, I thought you were going to burp, I came back to see you for the last time, I just wanted to ask you, I used the money from the coffin board to buy paper to burn for you, can it save trouble, King Zhao hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man, grinning;

Xiao Wang Ba, let me tell you, after I die, if you don't get me a good coffin, don't want to live a good life in your life, I come to pester you every day, the old man stared at the young man with a stiff neck;

Old man, don't think about the good coffin, I bought a few good pockets, do you want to take a look, the young man pulled the old man's white beard and smiled;

Is the pocket made of silver or gold?" asked the old man with a squinted eye.

Seeing that the old man was about to hit him with his pipe, the young man hurriedly smirked, "Half gold, half silver."

No, I want it to be made of pure gold, the old man said firmly;

I'm teasing you, you take it seriously, the young man said with a blank look;

"Oh, what are you smashing me for? Don't you know that your pipe is made of iron, it hurts me to death. The boy clenched his head and screamed.

The girl was laughing coquettishly on the side, and seemed to like to like watching the young man and the old man fight like this.

I can't beat you bastard, the old man snorted;

Under one roof, three people without any blood relationship live happily together, but they seem more like a family.

In the afternoon, King Zhao finally had the courage to walk to the stall selling meat on Qibao Street, and spent more than a dozen yuan to sell a pound of lean meat and a pound of fat, the lean meat was for him and the little girl, and the fat meat was bought for the old man.

King Zhao went to the street to buy meat, Ye Xi carried a bamboo basket to the field to get a little beans, tomatoes, green peppers, garlic leaves, and two cucumbers and other vegetables back, Ye Xi, who went out from behind, arrived home almost at the same time as King Zhao.

Tonight, a family of three is destined for a big meal.

............

At night, the bright moon hangs high, the moonlight is soft, plain and hazy, holy, and in addition, there are countless stars, which are also spilling essence, turning into countless tiny rivers, slowly flowing.

After eating, the elderly, the girl, and the teenager sit together in the courtyard, and in addition to enjoying the shade, you can also enjoy the moon, which is a very pleasant thing.

The old man who was smoking a dry cigarette suddenly felt his chair shake, and suddenly yelled angrily;

It's all to blame Zhao Bawang, the scrambled eggs with small tomatoes are really delicious, and the fried lean meat with beans is even more delicious, I didn't control it well all of a sudden, I ate a little too much, and my stomach was not very comfortable, the little girl said with a distressed face;

King Zhao blackened his face, slapped the girl, stood up and walked.

Zhao Bawang, if you shoot me like this again, sooner or later you will be filmed as a fool, the girl turned her head, like a little tigress, and roared with her teeth and claws;

"Huh!"

The boy rolled his eyes and ignored the unreasonable girl.

Oh wool, the girl is indignant.

Suddenly, the courtyard was quiet again, the girl blinked at the moon, the boy stared at the twinkle star, and the old man still smoked with his head down.

Zhao Bawang, do you say that there will be immortals in this world? Could there really be a fairy holding a jade rabbit living on the moon? After a long time, the girl broke the silence and asked;

The young man was stunned, turned his head to look at the girl, and said, "Do you want to be a fairy?"

Don't you want to?" asked the girl, turning her head and her eyes just in line with the boy's.

"Think,"

The young man was stunned for a moment, and then said in a decisive voice;

I also want to、The little girl turned her head to look at the full moon、Dao;

What's so good about being a fairy?

The boy and the girl froze.

Haha, when we become immortals, we will not be short of money to spend, I will definitely get you a pure gold coffin when the time comes, do you say it's good, King Zhao laughed;

Zhao Bawang, you are stupid, you are all immortals, can't we let the old man live healthy and healthy, and then make the gold that made the coffin into gold bars, so that the old man can enjoy all the glory and wealth, the little girl glanced at the young man with an idiot look, and said in an orderly manner;

"Silly,"

The old man said these two words lightly, and then continued to smoke a dry cigarette.

Old man, you eat a lot of salt, cross more bridges, and walk more, so do you know if there are any gods in this world?" The girl shook the old man's chair and asked;

"Yes!"

The old man turned his head, borrowed the same look she had just seen King Zhao, and looked at her and said.

"You've seen it!"

King Zhao said disdainfully;

"Yes, of course I have seen it, and you have seen it," said the old man calmly;

Hehe, I almost believed you, an old ghost, but the young man glanced at him and didn't have a good airway;

Old man, could it be you who you are talking about...... The old fairy, the girl saw the two bickering and giggling.

How do you know that? I've become like this, and you still recognize me......? , No matter where the gods go, the light will always be uncoverable, the old man said with a melancholy face;

Old ghost, take it easy, don't blow the cows of the world to death, otherwise people all over the world will curse you, the key is, be careful when you go to the palace of Hades, those old cows who were blown to death by you accuse you of evil conditions, and even knock your head with cow hooves, King Zhao pouted;

Boy, I'm really a god, hurry up and come over to say goodbye, maybe your future will change from now on, the old man said with a smile;

Old man, you are so naughty, the girl said innocently;

The old man was shocked by the word naughty, he was almost ninety years old, and he was said to be naughty by a girl, and he felt that he had suffered a thunderbolt, and then the old man asked angrily;

Okay, old man, no matter how naughty you are, beware that the old man of Hades will not come to accept you, King Zhao glanced at him and said;

Isn't that right?, the old man glared.

Do you want to be a lonely ghost?

"Get out!"

The old man roared, and the house seemed to shake.
