"Big brother, brother, I waited for you all night at your door."

Xu Weishan was suddenly a little embarrassed, and at the same time a little annoyed, "As soon as I opened the door just now, I saw you sleeping soundly against the pillar of my house, and I didn't recognize it at a glance, which scared me." ”

Xu Weishan sneered, and did not expose his lies, "Big brother, what did you do last night?" I shouted at you outside for a long time, but you didn't come out to open the door, or did I do something to make you angry, so you don't want to see me. ”

"Of course not." Xu Weishan denied it, "Your sister-in-law and I went to bed early last night, maybe we slept too soundly and didn't hear your voice." ”

"Is that really the case?" Xu Weichuan probed his brain into the house, but Xu Weishan stood at the door and didn't let him in.

"What the hell are you looking for me, tell me quickly." Xu Weishan wanted to send him away as soon as possible and eat his sweet potatoes early, but after being hungry all night, his stomach was already growling.

But Xu Weichuan was not so easy to dismiss, "I slept at your door all night, and you didn't let me go in to drink tea." ”

Just when Xu Weishan was in a dilemma, Jiang walked out slowly from inside.

"Second brother, it's not that your eldest brother won't let you in, it's that the family is now poor and doesn't even have tea to entertain you."

Xu Weichuan didn't believe what she said, yesterday I clearly watched Xu Weishan come back with a big bag of things, and the cautious look must have been eaten.

The Jiang clan also knew that if Xu Weichuan was not allowed to come in to see what was going on today, he would not leave, so he simply dodged and let him in.

"Just drink some well water." Jiang poured a glass of water and handed it to Xu Weichuan.

"Phew, what is this, why is it so bad?" Xu Weichuan took a sip and spit it out, this water is not well water at all, it is astringent and bitter.

"Oh, look at my memory, I forgot that this is the water we have been putting for many days, and it is estimated that it has been broken." Xu Weishan's wife patted her head in annoyance, "Blame me for not eating for a few days, my head won't turn, and I can't remember anything clearly." ”

Xu Weichuan put down the bowl angrily, walked into their house and looked around, it was empty and didn't look like there was food, so he had to leave with his own bad luck.

"Where did you put the sweet potatoes?" As soon as Xu Weichuan left, Xu Weishan couldn't wait to ask.

"Where else can I put it? It's in my clothes closet. ”

"Hurry up and take it out and cook porridge and drink it, I'm dying of hunger."

"Not yet, your second brother has a lot of eyes, I guess he will definitely come back later."

Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, Xu Weichuan went and returned.

"Second brother, didn't you just leave? How did you come back again? ”

Xu Weichuan looked at the couple and had nothing in their hands, thinking that maybe he was wrong, but he was still unwilling in the end, "I watched my eldest brother holding a big bag of things yesterday evening, what is that?" ”

"Oh, you said that," Xu Weishan's wife replied first: "It's embarrassing to say, we are so hungry, so let your eldest brother go to the back mountain to dig a lot of Guanyin soil and come back, and now it is still in the kitchen, I heard that this can fill your stomach, second brother, do you want to eat some together?"

Guanyin Tu was hard and unpalatable, Xu Weichuan didn't want to eat that kind of thing even if he starved to death, so he immediately waved his hand and refused, "Forget it, I remember that some of the family left in advance." ”

This time Xu Weichuan finally really left, Jiang waited for a while, and saw that Xu Weichuan really left, so he happily took out the sweet potato and boiled a big pot of porridge.

It is said that Old Man Xu has always been relieved of his two elder brothers, so he asked the guys in the store to secretly come to their house to see their situation.

"Old man, your two brothers are not doing well."

"What's wrong with them?"

"When I went to your eldest brother's house to see, I found that there was a lot of Guanyin soil in his kitchen, and I was afraid that I was hungry, so I had to go to the back mountain to dig Guanyin soil to fill my stomach."

"What!" Old Man Xu was shocked, it is true that many people will go to eat Guanyin soil when they are so hungry that they can't do it.

But although Guanyin soil can be eaten, it will not be digested, it will only make the stomach feel full, and the most important thing is that eating Guanyin soil will damage the body.

"It's all my fault, I should have gone to see them sooner." Old Man Xu thought of his brother's suffering, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable, "You go and get a bag of rice and send it to my eldest brother and second brother's house." ”

When the man heard this, he was a little embarrassed, "This ...... Now the food is locked up by the aunt. ”

In this way, wouldn't it be necessary to go to the Wang family to ask for the key, and the Wang family would definitely not agree to lend food to the eldest brother and their family, thinking of this, Old Man Xu's brows couldn't help frowning.

The guy thinks that Old Man Xu's brother is not good to him at all, and he used to open a shop to steal business, but now it is really not cost-effective to quarrel with the Xu family's aunt for the sake of those two white-eyed wolves.

Old Man Xu didn't want to have a dispute with the Wang family, but he couldn't ignore his brother, so after thinking about it, he finally came up with a good solution.

"In the future, I will let them cook a little more, and you will secretly send the rest of the food to my brothers."

The sweet potatoes Xu Weishan bought with hairpins were quickly eaten, and the family returned to the hungry days.

Xu Weichuan's condition is a little worse than him, he has been hungry for almost ten days, and he lies on the bed every day and does not move.

Just when they were about to lose it, the Xu family's men came to the door with food boxes.

smelled the fragrance from afar, and Xu Weichuan struggled to get up. The guy got Old Man Xu's orders, didn't say anything, put down the food box and left.

In fact, the reason why Old Man Xu asked him not to say a word was also to take into account the faces of Xu Weishan and the others, for fear of embarrassing them by saying more.

After Xu Weishan and Xu Weichuan devoured the food in the food box, they felt that the whole person came to life again.

"Big brother."

After Xu Weichuan finished eating, he went to find Xu Weishan again. Considering that there were still a few children, Old Man Xu brought a lot to Xu Weishan's family, although they ate a lot after being hungry for several days, there were still some left.

"Second brother, you came just in time, I was about to call you, I still have some food here, do you want to eat some."

Xu Weichuan looked at the leftovers on the table, a little disdainful, how could he look at these when he had just eaten enough.

"No need, I just finished eating, and it looks like he sent it to you, big brother."

Although he didn't say who this person was, everyone present knew that he was referring to Old Man Xu.
