Uncle Li in Zhang Tanchun's mouth is Li Guangkun from Zhangjiakeng Village. The surname Li was a lonely family in Zhangjiakeng Village, and he moved from other places in some year and month. Li Guangkun is honest and wooden, not good at words, and is a well-known honest man in the village. may be because he was too honest, Li Guangkun didn't even keep his daughter-in-law Zhou Manli in the end. When his son Li Ran was three years old, Zhou Manli was gone forever, leaving behind the two of them.

Xiao Xichun also followed the example of the third sister Zhang Tanchun, and said in a milky voice: "Uncle Li... Okay, Brother Li Ran is good. ”

Li Ran wore a self-woven wicker straw hat and carried a large stack of ground cages on his shoulders, and followed his father Li Guangkun closely. Li Ran and Zhang Yuanchun are the same age and are also classmates. Li Ran is very sturdy, and he is a head taller than boys of the same age. From the first grade to the fourth grade of primary school, Li Ran's studies are among the best, plus he is steady and down-to-earth, and the teachers and classmates in the school like him very much. When he was in the first and second grades, as the class president, he often went to Zhang Yuanchun's house after school to do his homework, and he had a good time with the little sisters of the Zhang family. But later, he was teased by the fat aunt next door, and Li Ran never went to Zhang Yuanchun's house to do his homework again.

Li Ran saw Xiao Xichun greeting him, and immediately responded happily. He reached out and took off the wicker straw hat from his head, and then turned and walked over.

"Here, here you go. I just made it up on the embankment. With that, Li Ran handed the wicker straw hat in his hand to Zhang Xichun.

Zhang Xichun happily stretched out his hand to take it and put it on his head. But because the wicker straw hat was a little big, it slipped straight from the top of Xiao Xichun's head to her neck. didn't expect this to happen, but it made Xiao Xichun giggle and laugh, saying that he didn't want to take it off.

At this time, Zhang Yuanchun also ran over with a large handful of wild flowers. A few children gathered around and chattered and laughed again. However, Zhang Yingchun was still sitting by the water, deaf to the excitement around him.

Li Guangkun walked to the edge of the bucket and took a look, and said with a smile: "Oh, it's not bad, Brother Long Fei." Today's harvest is quite big. ”

"Well, why don't you see how many people I bring out? A whole class of women's soldiers, can there not be many? ”

"There is great strength in numbers, and there is great strength in numbers." Li Guangkun couldn't help but hey.

Li Guangkun walked up to Zhang Longfei, patted him on the shoulder, and then sat side by side with him on the shore. Zhang Longfei took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket and handed it to Li Guangkun.

"Are you here to go down to the cage?" Zhang Longfei asked lightly.

"yes. I come every day. Li Ran is about to start school in a while, so he doesn't have time to help me get out of the cage. When the time comes, I'll have to be alone again, and I'll be too busy. ”

"I said, Brother Kun, how much money can you earn every day in the cage?"

"I don't make much. But mosquito legs are also meat. Li Guangkun smiled bitterly. He paused slightly, and then continued: "What about you, you catch so many lobsters, are you going to eat them yourself or sell them?" ”

"What are you selling it for? Eat it yourself. I don't have anything to do today, so I'll bring the kids over to play for a while. ”

When Li Guangkun heard this, he replied with emotion: "Oh, it's really different." You're here to play, and I'm here to make a living, to get some living expenses. ”

"Why don't you just get a shrimp, what are you feeling blind?" Zhang Longfei said with a smile.

"How can you be blind and emotional? I'm telling the truth. So, it's better to marry well than to do well. Look at you, you have married a wife, you have children and daughters to be accompanied, and your mother-in-law can still help from time to time. As for me, I married a wife, owed a lot of debt, and in the end my wife ran away with someone. Hey..."Li Guangkun took a hard puff of cigarette and held it in his mouth for a while before spitting it out.

Hearing this, Zhang Longfei slowly turned his head and looked at the honest farmer in front of him with a sympathetic expression. He knew that Li Guangkun had no friends in Zhangjiakeng Village. Usually, except for himself, Li Guangkun rarely communicates with others. Usually, I will discuss with Zhang Longfei about anything, although Zhang Longfei can't help most of the time. Zhang Longfei raised his hand and patted Li Guangkun's shoulder as a sign of comfort.

Li Guangkun stared at the calm water surface and was stunned for a moment before continuing: "Actually, Brother Long Fei, I admire you a lot. In our village, your family has the largest number of people who eat, and the burden should be the heaviest. But you live a happy life. It's not like everyone else who has a drooping face every day, and he doesn't bother to laugh when he laughs. ”

"I'm poor and happy."

"To be poor is to be happy. Don't watch "Dream of Red Mansions" if you're fine, but I think you're just different from others. ”

"How is it different? Actually, it's all the same, it's all for the kids. As he spoke, Zhang Longfei set his eyes on the children who were playing around the side. In fact, your family Li Ran is quite good, I think this child will definitely have a great future in the future. After a while, Zhang Longfei suddenly added.

"yes. Please your auspicious mouth. A few days ago, the old aunt of Wangzhuang in the neighboring village wanted to tell me about her family, but I quit me. Li Ran, a child who has no maternal love since he was a child, now has an extra stepmother out of thin air, then the pressure on his psychology must be even greater before. ”

When Zhang Longfei heard this, he was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the man in front of him, who was five big and three thick, would have such delicate thoughts. At this time, he sighed slightly, and said faintly: "Brother Kun, just because of this matter, I also admire you." ”

At this time, several fishing rods were suddenly bent. Zhang Longfei immediately jumped up, picked up the net pocket and began to get busy.

Li Guangkun also got up and helped Zhang Longfei pick up a few lobsters and put them in the bucket. At this time, Li Guangkun looked up, but saw Li Ran talking about something with Zhang Yuanchun with his eyebrows. Zhang Yuanchun tilted his head, his face was full of concentration, and he stared at Li Ran intently. Li Guangkun's heart moved, and after a little total, he walked over. He took the stack of cages from Li Ran's shoulders and put them on his back, and told Li Ran that he didn't need to help him get off the cage today, and he could play with a few children of the Zhang family to his heart's content.

When Xiao Li Ran heard this, he immediately cheered with joy. The child's nature burst out at once. As soon as he called, he took Zhang Yuanchun and a few little girls to fish in a nearby pond.

In the evening, Wei Chunhua did her best to burn a large plate of fragrant garlic crayfish. She knew that Zhang Longfei liked spicy food, so she specially burned another spicy crayfish for Zhang Longfei to enjoy alone. However, Lin Miaoxiang was still in confinement, worried that she would have fishy breast milk, so she could only look at the "shrimp" and sigh.

The children are like hungry gluttony, all of them tear their hands and bite their teeth, and gobble it up. Only the second daughter Zhang Yingchun is an exception. She seems to have a soft spot for the meat in the lobster's paws. She gathered all the big claws of the lobster that Zhang Tanchun had eaten in front of her, peeled them off one by one, and gently removed the meat from the claws with a thin toothpick.

Zhang Longfei raised his eyes to look at Zhang Yingchun's focused and leisurely appearance, and said with a smile: "I said Erya, you have the feeling of eating crayfish out of hairy crabs." Come on, Daddy will get you a big chunk. As he spoke, Zhang Longfei picked a large lobster and removed the shell by dividing it by two.

"I don't want to eat the meat on its ass." Zhang Yingchun lowered his head and replied lightly. "I think it's still the meat in the paws that tastes best. You don't look at it less, but it has enough flavor and is fresh enough. With that, Zhang Yingchun finally picked out a thin shredded meat from his paws, put it in his mouth, and chewed it with satisfaction.

"I want, I want." Xiao Xichun saw that his father wanted to peel shrimp for the second sister, so he shouted repeatedly.

"Okay. Then give it to my little princess. With that, Zhang Longfei put the peeled shrimp meat into Xiao Xichun's mouth.

Zhang Xichun chewed happily a few times, and kept humming and chirping in his mouth. Unexpectedly, her face suddenly changed, and she cried "wow".

Lin Miaoxiang couldn't stop crying when she saw Xiao Xichun, and immediately panicked. She hurriedly got up and walked over, comforting her softly, and kept asking her what was wrong.

"Spicy..."Xiao Xichun said vaguely with shrimp meat in his mouth.

Lin Miaoxiang hurriedly reached out to take out the shrimp meat from Zhang Xichun's mouth, and asked her to rinse her mouth with water. Zhang Xichun stopped her tears a little, but she still sobbed.

"Look at the good things you've done." Lin Miaoxiang glared at Zhang Longfei angrily.

Zhang Longfei smiled, very embarrassed. He seemed to have forgotten that his plate of crayfish had twelve minutes of chili peppers. It's delicious to eat by yourself.

At this time, Zhang Yuanchun peeled a piece of shrimp meat and handed it to Xiao Xichun to comfort her emotions. Zhang Xichun happily stretched out her hand and continued, and said thank you sister in a milky voice.

Seeing this, Zhang Longfei happily took a sip of wine, smacked his mouth and said leisurely:

The ironclad Changge has not forgotten,

The hue of the pile plate likes to taste first.

For the world is beautiful,

Lao Zhang Zeng laughed and was busy all his life. ”

Lin Miaoxiang saw that Zhang Longfei had changed the ancient poems in "Dream of Red Mansions" again, and she was angry and funny. She saw Zhang Longfei drinking and peeling shrimp at the same time, which was very troublesome. She turned over and helped Zhang Longfei peel the shrimp.

When Zhang Longfei saw it, he immediately became happy. "Oh, it's better to be a wife. I knew I would have married a few more wives like this. ”

"Oh, really?" Lin Miaoxiang smiled slightly. "How many do you want to marry? Three palaces and six courtyards? ”

"Where are the three palaces and six courtyards? At least twelve, twelve hairpins. Haha..."Saying that, Zhang Longfei couldn't help but open his mouth and laugh.

Unexpectedly, Lin Miaoxiang's face sank, and her willow eyebrows rose upside down. She stood up with a "hoof" and stuffed the lobster claw in her hand into Zhang Longfei's wide open mouth.

"Ahh Wife, what are you doing here? I'm going to have my tongue pierced by you. ”

"Oh, you're going to marry twelve wives, so you can't practice your tongue beforehand?" Lin Miaoxiang looked at Zhang Longfei with an indifferent expression and said coldly.

"Tongue training?" Zhang Longfei was stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartily. When the girls next to them saw it, they all giggled along with their father.
