2.31 The Prosperous Brothers
2.31
The most unsightly thing in the whole house is probably the kitchen, when Ye Xuan left, the dishes in the kitchen were not cleaned up, and the main power gate was turned off when he left, so the things in the refrigerator were thick hairy. The vegetables in the vegetable box next to the stove are long gone, and the potatoes are full of teeth.
This can't be cleaned up, but fortunately, you can eat at the second aunt's house, otherwise when the kitchen is cleaned up, both of them will be hungry, and the sleeping place will be in the north hall.
I don't know how the names of other rooms are named, Ye Xuan and they are called by direction. Generally, the door is in the east toilet, the hall is in the west, and the remaining two large houses are called the north hall and the south room, which are generally bedrooms, and the house sandwiched between the north hall and the corner of the hall is the kitchen.
The overall layout of Ye Xuan's courtyard is like this, sometimes the door will open in the corner or other directions, but the location and name of the three houses are the same.
The sheets and bedding on the bed in the north hall were already covered with soil, Ye Xuan took out the new sheets from the cabinet next to him and spread them with Li Xin, and the focus was to clean up the north hall, and when it was cleaned up, it was already gray in the world.
Ye Xuan took out his mobile phone, took a ladder with a flashlight and set it up under the eaves of the hall, and the main switch of the power supply at home was here. Climbed up to turn on the power, asked Li Xin to turn on the light, and was relieved to see the lights in the north hall on, and came down from the ladder. What he is most afraid of is that he has no electricity bill, and the electricity at home cannot be used, it seems that his family has not used electricity this year, and the person who collects electricity bills does not have a black heart to be greedy for money.
When Ye Xuan put the ladder away, the second aunt walked in from outside the door and beckoned to Ye Xuan: "Ah Xuan, the meal is ready, hurry up and bring your friends down to eat, and the aunt will go down to serve the meal first."
"Got it, auntie." Ye Xuan responded loudly, ran to the north hall and took a look, except for the gray on the top and the light was a little dim, everything else was not bad. ran out and fetched a bucket of water in the well, poured a pot into the kettle, poured half a basin of water into the basin, and washed Li Xin's hands before taking her hand and going out.
The village under the cover of night is quiet, there are black shadows everywhere, the weather in October is already a little cold in the countryside at night, Li Xin shivered, holding Ye Xuan's hand couldn't help but tighten, in such an environment, she was a little scared.
The second aunt's house is very close to Ye Xuan's house, that is, the distance between the uphill and downhill slopes, just a few steps to the second aunt's house, the second aunt still has a slender big yellow dog at home, I don't know if I recognize Ye Xuan if I haven't seen it for a year, I remember that when I was a child, I played with him the most was myself.
Most of the dogs in the countryside can't eat meat, and when there are leftovers, they eat some leftovers, and when they don't, they put potatoes, mixed noodles, and vegetable roots into the same as pig food, cook them in a pot, and pour them into the dog food bowl. The queen in the countryside never dislikes how to eat, and the amount of food is also large, and a pot full of omnivorous food will be eaten for a while.
Most of the time, the day of killing the pig is the happiest day for the dog, because many people in the countryside do not eat the pig's heart, and some organs that cannot be eaten are cheaper than the family dog.
The second aunt's dog is relatively happy, because there is such a loser as Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan especially liked kittens and puppies when he was a child, but his grandmother didn't like it, so he didn't raise it, every time he saw the big dog of the second aunt's family, he was very happy, he brought meat out of the house to feed the dog, and the snacks were also fed to the dog, in short, he could eat whatever dog he ate, and what could make him happy at that time, in addition to grandma, it was the dog of the second aunt's family.
Every time he thought of this, Ye Xuan felt sad, and he didn't know what happened to Wangcai after he left. Wangcai is the name he gave to this dog, and the dogs in the countryside have no names, only Ye Xuan stubbornly thinks that this is disrespectful to dogs, and he thinks that all dogs in the world should be called Wangcai.
When the big yellow dog heard that someone was coming, he immediately stood up and bit at the corner, and when Ye Xuan's figure came out of the corner, it was stunned for two seconds, and then wagged its tail and made a slender coquettish sound.
Its front legs kept jumping on the ground, and when Ye Xuan got closer, it lay on the ground and rubbed against Ye Xuan's feet. Ye Xuan was very happy, this stupid dog was not fed in vain, and he still remembered himself. Ordered Li Xin to go in first, and squatted down to tickle Wangcai.
It wasn't completely dark yet, Wangcai enjoyed the treatment that Ye Xuan brought to him, and the moment it raised its head, Ye Xuan actually saw something shiny in the corner of his eye, he was a little surprised, could it be that dogs would also be moved to tears?
Li Xin didn't go in early, just stood behind him and watched Ye Xuan tease the dog. The second aunt was a little anxious to wait, so she planned to urge again, and when she hurriedly went out, she saw Ye Xuan, who was squatting on the ground and playing with a dog, and Li Xin, who was watching the brothers smirk.
Seeing the second aunt come out, Li Xin asked politely: "Auntie."
"Oops." The second aunt came over with a grin, touched Li Xin's head, and said, "What a good boy." Then he pulled Ye Xuan up from the ground and said, "How dirty the dog is, hurry up and wash your hands and eat, and see that the lice on the dog burrow into you and don't eat you at night."
"How so." Ye Xuan scratched his head with a smile, took some water and washed his hands at the well of the second aunt's house, and then entered the house and walked to the hall, where people usually eat in the village.
The hall of the second aunt's house is much smaller than Ye Xuan's house, the house is also an adobe house, the floor is paved with bricks, but the layout is similar, there is still a table in the middle, and sofas and TVs on both sides.
Sitting on the wooden sofa for a long time hurts his buttocks, which is also the reason why Ye Xuan doesn't like to stay in the hall, he didn't feel anything when he watched TV when he was a child, but now he doesn't like to watch TV.
The second aunt's meal has always been very simple, and the local village people do happy events, funerals, and guests at home are all greeted by faces. Ye Xuan hadn't eaten Zhenzi noodles for a long time, and he was in his stomach after a big bowl full of garlic cloves. Li Xin ate more elegantly, and when Ye Xuan's big bowl bottomed out, she still had more than half a bowl of her small bowl.
The second aunt smiled even more happily when she saw Ye Xuan eating happily, put down her chopsticks and patted Ye Xuan's back and said, "Slow down, slow down, when will your stinky problem of eating without chewing be better, it's not good for the stomach."
"I haven't eaten Zhenzi noodles for almost a year, it's comfortable." Ye Xuan leaned back on the sofa after eating, and his aunt picked up Ye Xuan's bowl and gave it to him, but Ye Xuan hurriedly stopped him, and if he wanted to eat another bowl alone, he would burst out. The aunt stopped insisting and picked up chopsticks to eat.
"Auntie, is Brother Tiger coming for the National Day?" Ye Xuan looked at the second aunt, Brother Hu is the son of the second aunt, Ye Hu, Ye Xuan's cousin, two years older than Ye Xuan, and is in the third year of high school in Longxi County, but he didn't go to the same school as Ye Xuan, he studied well and went to a middle school.
"Come on, Huzi called last night, saying that if you don't come today, you will come tomorrow, and you can't come today, you will definitely come tomorrow, and I heard that you have to bring a person back." Speaking of this, the second aunt is happy, in the countryside, it doesn't matter if you fall in love early or not, in their eyes, the third year of high school is already a big child, and it is a good thing to be able to bring a partner back.
Li Xin didn't feel surprised, because he didn't know that Ye Xuan's cousin was only in high school, and it was normal for college students to take a partner home. If you want her to know that Ye Hu is only in her third year of high school, it is estimated that she will be shocked and will not be able to eat.
"That's a good relationship, Brother Tiger is also older, it's good to settle things early." Ye Xuan is happy for him from the bottom of his heart, he has a good relationship with Brother Hu, Ye Hu is the only one who doesn't treat him as an orphan, he often protects him when he goes to school together in elementary school, and Ye Hu always stands up for him when someone bullies him.
The second aunt smiled and pointed to Ye Xuan's eyebrows, then looked at Li Xin and said, "Aren't you kid quite capable?" Don't tell me that this girl is friends with you, whose girl is so good that she will follow you to this poor ravine? Honestly, are you two dealing with each other? ”
Hearing the words of the second aunt, Li Xin's face turned red when she brushed it, and she lowered her head to eat silently.
Ye Xuan smiled dryly and touched his head, and said: "Auntie, you really misunderstood, I was called Xin Pian, so I recognized her as my sister, she is quite pitiful, her family is also poor, and she is about to run out of money to go to school, although I am not very rich, but the money for the two of them to go to school is still taken out, so I took her over to eat and live together."
He has nothing to hide from the second aunt, speaking of which, the second aunt is no different from his own son, he and Ye Hu are half of the delicious food, and the fun is also very Ye Hu to play together.
After listening to Ye Xuan's explanation, the second aunt actually showed a disappointed look, she liked Li Xin very much, she liked this kind of quiet girl, seeing that Ye Xuan recognized her as a sister, she glanced at Li Xin with pity, and then said to him angrily: "You, I don't know how to seize the opportunity, you will regret such a good girl after you miss it."
Ye Xuan could only scratch his head in embarrassment and say yes. I also told about what happened in the village this year, what the second uncle's pig litter gave birth to twenty cubs, and the donkey of the third uncle's family in the village ran away, and when he caught up, he actually found a pot of copper coins nearby, which was all trivial things.
We chatted until half past nine when the second aunt was about to go to wash the dishes, Ye Xuan said goodbye to her, went out and made friends with Wangcai for a while, and then patted its head as a farewell.
In the middle of the night, it was dark and I couldn't see the road, Ye Xuan turned on the flashlight, Li Xin hugged his arm tightly and didn't dare to look around, the surroundings were full of weeds, it looked weird and terrible, Ye Xuan's childlike heart rose, and he suddenly pushed Li Xin and pulled it back.
"Ahh Li Xin was startled, patted his chest in shock, and then hammered Ye Xuan's arm after relieving, in Ye Xuan's opinion, the meaning of this coquettish was closer.
"I think what the second aunt said makes sense." Ye Xuan glanced at Li Xin meaningfully, and then hugged her waist with a wicked smile, "Otherwise, let's get things done earlier, lest you regret it later." ”
"Hmph, you still want to make it bad." Li Xin stretched out his hand and put it on Ye Xuan's waist, twisted it fiercely, and Ye Xuan, who was in pain, grinned and shouted: "The woman spares her life!"
