Chapter Eighty-Six: The Boy I've Never Seen
The little รท said โ Net], the โ little รท said โ Net],
In this way, when it came to the Lantern Festival, a row of lanterns was set up in the village.
"Uncle, this can't fly!" Sang Yuan and the two were lighting the lamp, and Zhan Bao and Zhang Jinwen came over. As for their parents, they are preparing to put on the lights.
"If you can't fly, put it aside!" Sang Yuan took the time to reply, but when their lights were put up, he saw a bunch of flyless lights on the ground.
Because it is outside the courtyard, it attracts many people from afar.
"It's still you guys!" Zhang Xiuhe and Zhao Liguo were also among those people, helping Jin Fengshu and them look at the child, their eyes were full of envy.
Because most of the people in Baihua Village are immigrants, and they are single, there are few families with several generations living together. Even if there is, there is no population as large as the Xi family.
Looking at it this way, their house is naturally very lively.
"Aren't you fast too?" Jin Fengshu glanced at Wang Hui beside Zhao Hu, and her impression was still very good.
"The girls in the city are willing to marry, and I have nothing to find fault with, as long as they have a good relationship!" Zhang Xiuhe is also quite satisfied with Wang Hui.
However, she asked them openly and secretly several times when they would get married, and they didn't respond, so she was a little unhappy.
"Our village is no worse than the city, so you can rest assured and wait to marry your daughter-in-law!" Jin Fengshu heard the dissatisfaction in her words and persuaded her not to worry. She also envies people holding their grandchildren, but she can only hope for the two little ones, and she is more helpless than Zhang Xiuhe.
"Forget it, there are no regrets about being able to achieve it in my lifetime!" Zhang Xiuhe realized that the people around her wanted to hold her grandson more than her, but it was impossible in this life, so she hurriedly ended the topic.
"Mom, Aunt Xiuhe, come and see the lights we put up!" Sang Yu and Sang Qing ran over and pulled the two over.
Jin Fengshu and Zhang Xiuhe kept watching them put the lights on the side, and didn't notice what they were doing. At this time, they pulled over and saw that the lights were impressively placed into a 'heart' character.
"You guys are amazing! Be careful not to burn! Jin Fengshu and the others don't know what the meaning of this word they put out, but they are not very old, so they naturally want to give advice.
The compliments laughed, replied 'got it', and played around the lights.
The other children in the village also gathered around, but when they saw that each of them was moving the lights, no one moved. Even if there are some active ones, they are all taken care of by their own adults.
However, when there were more and more children, a dirty child was suddenly pushed down, knocked down a lamp, and the fire burned instantly.
The eldest, Xi Fengyin, hurriedly ran over and pulled the child up, but it still caused a commotion. The adults pulled the children away from the lights, and some eyes fell on the dirty child.
"Are you alright?" Sang Yuan and Xi Shao threw the lamp in their hands on the ground and stepped on it as soon as possible, and ran to Xi Fengyin's side.
"Uncle, I'm fine, she's okay." Xi Feng has been practicing martial arts for a few years, and he is also bold, and when he saw his two uncles coming, he didn't panic at all.
"Who is this kid? Why haven't you seen it? Seeing the child hiding behind him, Sang Yuan frowned slightly.
"I haven't seen her, I know all the children in the village!" Xi Fengyin didn't know what to say, but he really hadn't seen such a dirty child.
There are more people in Baihua Village than other villages, and the atmosphere formed is naturally more exquisite. So, it's really amazing to see such a dirty child.
"Little girl, little girl, where are you?" At this moment, a shout came from afar, and the child behind Xi Fengyin ran over in an instant.
Sang Yuan and the two looked at each other and did not chase after each other. Xi Fengyin pulled the two of them a little indifferently, as if he was worried about the child.
The two had no choice but to follow him.
As soon as they left, an old man in the village recognized the voice and said in surprise and disgust: "Isn't that the daughter of the Sang family who married?" How did you come back again? โ
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Sang Dazhi and the people of the Xi family. At the beginning, the two sisters of the Sang family wanted to marry Xi Shao, which can be described as quite a sensation.
Sang Dazhi wanted to go over to see the situation, but was pulled by Jin Fengshu. The people of the Xi family also don't seem to see those eyes, what to do or what to do.
The lights that had been floating in the sky also flew away, leaving only a few points of light in the black sky.
"Why are you so disobedient? Who told you to come here? Don't you want me to live? โ
As soon as Sang Yuan and the three approached, they heard a sad and angry female voice scolding the child. The child, however, remained silent. Seeing that they were coming, he hurriedly pulled the woman.
The woman probably didn't expect them to come, plus she was anxious, and it was dark, and she was reminded by the child at this time, and she was suddenly like a frightened bird.
When he saw the person coming, he pulled the child and hurried away.
"Big cousin?" Sang Yuan didn't see the man clearly in the dim light, but the man had been staring at Xi Shao before leaving, so he called out tentatively. However, the man ran away faster.
"Your eldest cousin?" Xi Shao saw that the man ran away as if he was being chased by a ghost, and asked Sang Yuan inexplicably.
Sang Yuan didn't see it clearly, and he didn't want to chase after it this big night, so he shook his head. "Who knows, let's go to my uncle's house tomorrow!"
Although the two Sang Daodao brothers are still in Baihua Village these years, because the house has been sold, the land is gone, except for helping the village work, there is no private property at all.
Although the people of Baihua Village did not bully them, they did not treat them very well.
Therefore, they almost do not participate in many village-wide activities.
Zhao Liguo knew it, but he didn't want to care. After all, this kind of thing is not something he can manage if he wants to!
"I thought they had already moved out of the village!" Xi Shao was surprised that they were still in the village, he had never seen them at all, and it was very unusual to have such a place in Baihua Village.
Sang Yuan didn't bother to say what he did, and pulled Xi Fengyin back. Moreover, in front of the child, he didn't want Xi Fengyin to have a preconceived bad impression of the Sang family.
At least, he didn't want Xi Fengyin to think that he had saved a bad boy.
Woe to the next generation!
Xi Shao saw that he didn't continue, so he followed him back very boringly.
When the people in the village saw them coming back, no one asked, but they just pulled their children to say goodbye, so as not to catch fire again.
When everyone left, the children of the Xi family were a little sullen on their faces.
"Shall we bake sweet potatoes?" Looking at the lanterns that couldn't fly, Sang Yuan thought about using the waste. By the way, divert the attention of the little ones.
"I don't want to eat baked sweet potatoes, can we bake something else?" Usually I am tired of eating sweet potatoes, and the children have made other requests.
"Shall we grill the chicken and fish? Does anyone want to eat potatoes? Thinking about something, Sang Yuan is not afraid of trouble.
"Good! Good! โ
"Can potatoes be baked too?"
The children instantly agreed, but some people raised questions.
"Anything can be baked! But it's too late to prepare now, I'll bake something else for you tomorrow! "Let the sisters and sisters-in-law go to kill chickens, and the brothers and brothers-in-law go to catch fish, Sang Yuan took the children to move stones around a simple stove.
Xi Shao and Zhao Hu, who were invited to stay, went to get a few wooden sticks, cut them into the shape that Sang Yuan had requested, and then made a bowl of mixed seasoning with the help of Jin Fengshu and Zhang Xiuhe.
Because it was night, everyone didn't want to get much, just to make something fresh. killed two chickens and five fish, and under the command of Xi Shao, they were inserted with wooden sticks.
Sang Yuan motioned for them to wash the chicken and fish with wine, and then took a knife and made a few cuts on the thick parts of the chicken and fish, and sprinkled the mixture on it.
After all this, he took a chicken and went to the stove where the fire was lit and motioned to the others how to roast it. As for the potatoes, they were already buried under the fire first.
The whole chicken and fish will take longer to grill. Under the rotation of several people, the children's initial interest has become impatient.
Sang Yuan couldn't cry or laugh when he heard them keep asking, 'Why hasn't it been baked yet?'. Pull the mulberry to teach him to bake, and by the way, also signal the others to let the children try it.
In this way, no one continued to ask, but carefully flipped the stick in his hand.
The fish is relatively easy to cook, and after half an hour, the smell of the fish is overflowing, and the grillers have tasted it, and when they see that it is all cooked, they put the grilled fish on the prepared plate.
The children were instantly greedy, so Sang Yuan let Sang Yu go and let him eat fish too.
Xi Shao had already changed hands with Sang Yuan in turn, so he took his hand at this time and asked him to try it too.
Five fish, the children ate the meat on the belly, Sang Yuan cut off a piece of the meat on the back of the fish, divided it into small pieces, sprinkled some seasonings, and then ate it himself, and fed it to Xi Shao in one bite.
Anyway, everyone only tastes one bite, and no matter how much they want, they don't have it.
When the fish was finished, the two chickens were finally roasted. Let the children choose where they want to eat, and then the others will share the rest. As a result, only one of the four chicken legs was divided, and Xi Shao and Sang Yuan also shared one chicken leg!
"Looks like we can get a barbecue grill out!" For this food to sell quite well, Xi Shao thought of when they grilled seafood by the sea.
"Just make a teppanyaki and eat it once in a while." Sang Yuan thought of the unhealth of the charcoal fire, and proposed to make an iron plate.
You know, teppanyaki is a little more flexible and can do more things.
"Why do I think it's a shame for you not to be a cook?" Xi Shao realized that he could do a lot of things, and quipped.
"I made all the food you used to eat!" Sang Yuan replied dissatisfied.
In the previous life, the Xi family ate a big pot of rice, and only after Sang Yuan sold it to the Xi family, did he start cooking at home. And Xi Shao is a weak and hard-mouthed person, Sang Yuan has practiced good cooking skills even if he doesn't want to.
Later, the Xi family was rehabilitated, and they returned to the city, but Xi Shao was unwilling to eat at home, so he did less. However, I taught the two sisters-in-law so that they would not be allowed to eat out with them.
"Then I'll make it for you, too!" Xi Shao didn't know that what he said before he was reborn, and he thought he was talking about the time when he was by the sea.
"I'll leave it to you tomorrow!" Sang Yuan carefully pulled out a black briquette from the fire, pinched it open, looked at it, and began to extinguish the fire.
He caught the charcoal aside, and then dug out the potatoes from the ashes, which were black and intact. And when they had been given to the people, they were shown to taste it.
Potatoes that have no taste at all can be eaten just enough to reduce the flavor of the meat that they have just eaten. It's just that after eating, the hands are more or less black, which makes everyone helpless to wash their hands.
After cleaning up, the night was already dark, and Zhao Liguo's family also said goodbye and left. Everyone in the Xi family also washed and yawned.
