Chapter 104: Confessing to Relatives

"Don't, don't, it's my brother's fault, my brother shouldn't have opened the door, your prime minister can support the boat in his belly, so don't worry about my brother!"

He Yaopi smiled and softened, he didn't want to be taken an ideological and political class by the three mountains in his family, seeing that Cheng Junlang only cared about riding forward, he didn't care about himself at all, He Yao's youthful smile on his face couldn't help but add two points of sincerity:

"Jun Lang, brother's words actually don't mean anything, brother is just dizzy in his brain for a while, and he casually plays with you."

Cheng Junlang didn't look at the other party, but he was cold and indifferent, and his immature voice overflowed: "Stay at home." ”

The short three words fell into He Yao's ear, which made him stunned at first, and then shook his head like a rattle:

"I can't agree to this, you know, it's been a month since this summer vacation, I'm following you to make up for my homework, I've never been to play anywhere, and I've never been to the mountains when I'm so big, this time I must go to the big pear tree and have a good time there."

There are mountains and waters, and when he arrives there, he can go up the mountain to catch wild things, he can go down to the river to fish, and then come to a wild barbecue

Moreover, although it is now entering August, the air in the city is still there, and in the mountains, listening to the summer blowing the mountain breeze, it is very cool. He wants to be close to nature, to stand in the mountains and wilderness, and to feel the beauty and comfort brought by nature, and the tranquility and harmony brought by nature.

Thinking of this, He Yao coughed again and again in his heart, why didn't he realize that he still had a poetic side? With a look on his face, a touch of discomfort flashed between He Yao's eyebrows, but Cheng Junlang didn't pay attention to it, and the knowledge was not included in his eyes

Big pear tree.

"Tingting, you want to come to this mountain nest, is it just to recognize those two people as godfathers and godmothers?"

Considering the physical condition of her granddaughter, and Li Xueting will come to live in Da Lishu every winter and summer vacation in the future, Li and her adopted son Li Ming discussed and came to Da Lishu to be a person.

I found the branch secretary Wang Mingda and the captain Jiang An, and proposed to buy a vacant old house in the village, and if this big pear tree really has three blue brick houses with courtyards, the appearance is a little dilapidated.

Vacant for more than three years, there was an outdoor household, the house was originally built by a family of four from this outsider, but no one expected that the big pear tree was just a little omenous in the famine year.

One night, the family of four surnamed Hu, who lived in a blue brick house, disappeared as if out of thin air. The things in the house were very messy, and the food and clothing were the same as those of the owner of the house, and there was no trace of them.

The impact of the incident at that time was not, someone surnamed Hu and a family of four were spies, Xu was exposed, worried about being arrested, so the whole family ran away together;

Some may have offended someone with the surname Hu, and were tied up by others unknowingly, and at the same time looted the valuables in the house, in short, the family surnamed Hu will definitely not return to the big pear tree.

There are many people who covet the Hu family's courtyard, but they are worried about the bad luck of the Hu family, so they can only endure the sour water and watch the team lock the door of the Hu family's courtyard. More than three years have passed, no one has ever set foot in the Hu family, and the courtyard is overgrown with weeds, and it is really dilapidated.

However, after Li and Li Ming saw the three vacant houses in the village, they used two hundred yuan to buy the courtyard of the Hu family as a place for Li Xueting to come to the big pear tree to recuperate.

The reason why the other two houses were not favored by Li was that the houses were really dilapidated and took a lot of effort to repair, and the other was that the two houses were made of adobe with walls and thatched roofs, and one of them was tilted.

There was a heavy rain, and it was very likely to collapse, and the other one died during the famine. Because there was only one lonely old man living there, the adult was gone, and the smell came from several houses before it was discovered by the villagers.

Such two houses, Li naturally would not choose.

After buying the courtyard of the Hu family, Li Ming, the adopted son, immediately spent money to ask the villagers to help repair the house and courtyard, and when everything was put in order, everything that should be bought was bought back at the Hongqu Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative, so that he could rest assured that he would get in the car and return to the city, leaving his son Li Haonan in the big pear tree to be the companion of Li and Li Xueting's brothers and sisters.

Now that she has come to the big pear tree and lived in the big pear tree, it is possible that she will often come to the big pear tree to live temporarily in the future, Li must have wanted to be able to integrate into the life of the big pear tree as soon as possible, so she took Li Haonan and Li Xueting brothers and sisters,

Carrying the gifts, he went to Jiang An's house to visit in a serious manner, expressing their family's gratitude to Ye Xia for saving Li Jun's life, in vain, it was on the basis of the original, and the relationship between the two families was brought closer.

As the saying goes, Li can see from Ye Xia's words and deeds that Ye Xiahou is by no means a thing in the pool, she feels that she has a good relationship with the Jiang family, and the younger generations of the Li family only have advantages and no disadvantages.

But Li didn't expect that Li Xueting was going to recognize Jiang An and his family as godparents when she opened her mouth, as soon as she saw Uncle Jiang and Aunt Lin, she felt cordial, and her eyes were full of expectation.

It seems that she didn't agree to this, so she cried to her. Embarrassment is inevitable, but the doctor's words can't be ignored, you have to follow the child, you can't let the child be stimulated, there is no way, Li asked Jiang An if the two of them would like to recognize a goddaughter.

The old man asked sincerely and kindly, what can Jiang An and Lin Lan do?

Don't want to?

People rushed to recognize their relatives, they relied on their many daughters, and the two families knew each other, if they refused, Jiang An and his family really couldn't speak. But nodded and recognized Li Xueting as her goddaughter,

Jiang An and Lin Lan felt that it was too abrupt, and at the same time they were more or less reluctant in their hearts, however, the girl called her godfather and mother one by one, as if she was familiar with herself, and sprinkled in front of them, and in the end, Jiang An smiled uncomfortably, and responded to the title in Li Xueting's mouth, which was regarded as recognizing this godgirl.

With a proper share, Li Xueting returned to Hu's courtyard except for sleeping overnight, and spent most of the rest of the time at Ye Xia's house, going in and out around Ye Xia's family, her mouth was so sweet that it seemed to be smeared with honey.

Godfather and godmother, eldest brother, third brother and fifth brother, and Shanning called smoothly, really treating themselves as members of the Jiang family. In the eyes of her brother Li Haoyang and cousin Li Haonan,

How strange is it to look at it, and Li Haonan is a cousin in the end, he will not have anything more in front of Li Xueting, Li Haoyang has no scruples, at this moment, glaring at Li Xueting

, with a look of disgust: "If you are blessed or not, you have to run here to suffer, you don't have to do anything, you have to eat and drink with one mouth......"

Sitting on the bamboo chair in the courtyard, blowing a cool breeze, Li Xueting looked at the fall and impatiently interrupted Li Haoyang's words:

"Didn't my brother eat or drink? Cooking and cleaning the yard are all busy with sister-in-law He, where do you have so many opinions about me? Recognize my godfather and godmother, I think Uncle Jiang and Aunt Lin are cordial, and they also agree with a little, what influence does it have on you? ”

Li and Li Ming's nanny and aunt He sat on the side talking, as if they didn't care about their brother and sister bickering at all, Li Xueting snorted at her brother and continued: "It's true that this is a mountain nest, but the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, the air is fresh, and the mountain breeze is cool, what's wrong?" ”

Li Haonan sat on the side of Li with his hand and watched it with relish, he had long been accustomed to the quarrel between Li Haoyang and Li Xueting, and in his memory, the age difference between his cousins and cousins was not much.

The cousin actually let the cousin and spoil the cousin, but the cousin is like a hedgehog, and he will explode when he pokes it, especially when he sees his cousin in the past two years, I don't know if he thinks too much, and always feels that his cousin is a thoughtful person.

It's a ten-year-old girl, how could he have such an idea?

For example, recognizing godparents, generally, is that the relationship between the two parents is good, or there are other special reasons, one party needs to recognize a goddaughter, or one party wants to find a godfather for his daughter,

After the two families get along, sit down for a meal, hold a simple recognition ceremony, and then the child officially changes his words. Well, this kind of recognition mode is simple, not very particular, if you pay attention to it, you have to hold a banquet, say hello to relatives, and make a noisy recognition banquet.

Where are there children who don't discuss with their elders in the family and open their mouths to recognize their godfathers and godmothers? Li Haonan could see it clearly, he didn't know that his cousin wanted to admit his relatives.

In the end, although he agreed with his cousin to recognize the Jiang family's husband and wife, he estimated that he was unhappy with his cousin's good advocacy, and his cousin recognized his godfather and became a circle around the Jiang family's brothers.

Ignore his cousin and brother, as a cousin, he doesn't care, and Yangyang, his brother, is strange if he can feel comfortable.

Based on this, Li Haoyang is not looking for Li Xueting, it is normal for Li Haonan to do so.

……

Facing the cool mountain breeze and the afterglow, Ye Xia and Jiang Xueyan, as well as the Qin Lin brothers and sisters, Cheng Junlang, and He Yao took the ox cart from the town and got off at the entrance of Dalishu Village.

They first went to Grandma Lin's house to sit for a while, and then moved back to the big pear tree, as for Qin Lin and Qin Zi did not stay in the town, it was because the two of them wanted to have a dragon and phoenix fetus, and they learned from Ye Xia's mouth three months ago,

The family has built five new brick houses in the backyard, and after three months of ventilation and drying, they are now just right to move in. It's very simple, this is clearly for the Qin Lin brothers and sisters, don't worry about the residence,

You can live as long as you want in the big pear tree, unlike before, the family did not build a new house, only two bedrooms in the east and west and the hall in the middle, there are many people, and there is no land to live.

Before Ye Xia started school in February, she directly asked Jiang An and Lin Lan to use the cash reward given to her by Beijing City to build a new house. Money is dead, people are alive, not counting the wealth in the space, she has nearly 100 yuan of manuscript fees every month, and she is not short of 1,000 yuan.

What's more, it is to build a new house for the family, as a member of the Jiang family, she has the ability to contribute this money, so why should her parents spend the small savings accumulated by the family to build two brick houses for the time being.

Later, if there is money to build another room, instead of tossing like this, it is better to build five rooms at a time, so that the area of the family will increase, and their brothers and sisters can also have their own separate rooms.

In the rural areas, according to the current per capita income, there are very few people who use bricks, steel bars, and concrete structures, and most people want to build new houses, and they all choose adobe as walls and roof tiles.

There are not many households in a village where brick houses can be built.

Ye Xia's family suddenly set up five brick houses, or according to the model of the courtyard, three main houses vertically, one on the left and right horizontally, and three old tile houses in front, which attracted the envy of many people in the big pear tree for a while. But as we all know,

The captain's family can build five brick houses at once, that's because they have a capable girl, and they have to be rewarded by the city and county, and they are rewarded by Beijing City, although I don't know why the relevant departments of Beijing City give "Fuwa" bonuses.

The "Hero" medal was awarded, but the facts are the facts, the captain of the National People's Congress did not go out, the branch secretary knew the reason, and there was a little rumor inadvertently.

Of course, there will be no shortage of sour words behind the scenes.

It costs about a hundred yuan to build a brick house, how much does it cost to get five rooms, and if you know a little arithmetic, you can dream at night. However, Jiang An and his family didn't have time to care about what the people in the village thought, and after their family's sour words, the money to build a new house came from the right way, and they were not weak at all.

Walking on the village road, when they met familiar people, the Ye Xia brothers and sisters all smiled and greeted politely, and those people passed by them, all of them were so envious that their hearts were sour.

"Look at it, look at it, how blessed the captain and his family are, they gave birth to five babies, all of them are reading materials, and in two years, three college students will be allowed."

"The boss will take the college entrance examination next year, let's wait to hear the good news!"

"It's all cubs, why don't you have a good brain? Also, did you just see the children who followed Xia and their siblings, they seem to be all city dolls, they are really good-looking! ”

"It's all pretty good-looking, but I still don't think they're as good-looking as the captain's summer."

"That's right."

"By the way, what is the relationship between the ancestors and grandchildren who live in the courtyard of the Hu family and the captain's family?"

", don't you know?"

"I know this, I just think they seem to have known the captain's family before."

"If I'm not mistaken, that very kind old lady and girl seem to have been to our village before, yes, they have been here, they came with the year, but they went to the captain's house and left in the car."

Ye Xia and a few people continued to whisper, and vaguely, there were a few words that blew into Ye Xia's ears with the mountain breeze, seeing that Ye Xia's brothers and sisters and Qin Lin's brothers and sisters didn't react, He Yao couldn't help but say to Cheng Junlang: "People in this village seem to like people gossip." ”

"Three women haven't heard a play?" Cheng Junlang's voice was indifferent and threw out a sentence.

He Yao rolled his eyes boringly, and then teased Cheng Junlang: "You look like you are paralyzed, so you are not worried that the girl's parents will turn us away?" ”

"Noise."

Sending the word He Yao, Cheng Junlang took two quick steps, caught up with Ye Xia, and asked in a low voice: "Is there more than enough accommodation at home?" Hearing this, Ye Xia responded casually: "Yes, my family just built a new house three months ago. ”

"Sister!"

Jiang Xuexing led the dragon and phoenix fetus and his peers to play at the gate of the hospital, and inadvertently saw Ye Xia and Jiang Xuexing, Gao Xin immediately shouted. Seeing this, the dragon and phoenix fetus followed Jiang Xuexing's line of sight and looked over,

The sister and brother were also Gao Xin and ran to Ye Xia with short legs while calling their sister, and when they came to the front, they saw Qin Lin and Qin Zi again, and they were stunned for a moment with their big black eyes, and then raised their voices at the same time: "Big brother and big sister!" ”

Qin Lin and Qin Zi opened the corners of their mouths and answered, one by one, walking behind Ye Xia and Jiang Xueyan, and asked their younger brothers and sisters in a low voice if they were naughty, whether they had followed the fifth brother to learn to read words, etc., the two of them had to answer questions, they were led by their brothers and sisters, and they jumped up and down when they walked, so unhappy.

Jiang Xuexing walked on Ye Xia's side like a stuffy gourd, silent.

"Our family five shouldn't be shy, right?"

Ye Xia teased his younger brother: "But who saw me Gao Xin calling my sister just now?" Did I hear it wrong? ”

Jiang Wu's face was slightly red: "Sister, I've grown up." ”

Ye Xia smiled "flutteringly", "Even if you grow into a white-haired grandfather in the future, you will still be a child in front of your sister and me." ”

Jiang Xueyan listened to the conversation between his younger brothers and sisters, just pursed his lips and smiled, but did not interject. "My second brother is laughing at me, and my sister is not allowed to tease me anymore."

Then, Jiang Xue walked to Cheng Junlang's side: "Brother Junlang." ”

After saying hello, he looked at He Yao: "What do you call this brother?" "It's a serious person like an adult.

"It's okay if you call me Brother Yao, by the way, what should I call you, brother?"

He Yao tilted his head, met Jiang Xuexing's eyes, and asked without a straight face. "Brother Yao, my name is Jiang Xuexing, and I am ranked fifth in the family, you can call my name directly, or call me five."

Jiang Xuexing responded childishly.

"Then I'll call you five, it sounds kissing"

He Yao rubbed it on the child's head.

"Okay."

Jiang Xuexing nodded cutely.

Yesterday I received a call from my daughter at the brigade headquarters, and I will come back from the city today, Jiang Anle had to talk to Lin Lan about it, and the two of them laid a new futon in the girl's house before going to bed last night.

and packed up two other rooms and came out for the Qin Lin brothers and sisters to live in. At this time, seeing Cheng Junlang and He Yao, a strange face, following their children and nieces into the courtyard together, Lin Lan was momentarily stunned and hurriedly welcomed people into the hall to sit.

"Uncle Jiang is good, Aunt Lin is good."

Cheng Junlang greeted Jiang An politely, and then handed the gift in his hand to Lin Lan: "I went to the second grandfather's house as a guest in the summer, and Ye asked me to come and see you two by the way." ”

Lin Lan replied with a guest word, took the gift and put it on the table. After all, He Yao grew up in the city and had seen the world, and after Cheng Junlang and Jiang An said hello, he followed to say hello to Jiang An and Lin Lan, and handed Jiang An the gift he was carrying.

After a few people sat in the hall and talked, Lin Lan personally took Cheng Junlang, He Yao and Qin Lin and Qin Zi to settle down, while Ye Xia went to the kitchen, planning to fry two more dishes, lest there be too many people in the family and her mother's cooking would not be enough to eat.

"Xia Xia, are Jun Lang and his cousin going to live in our house for a while?"

Jiang An came to the kitchen and asked his daughter. Ye Xia looked at the soaked fungus on the case, his hands and feet were neat, he beat five eggs in the bowl, planned to make a large plate of fungus scrambled eggs, and took out two eggplants from the vegetable basket.

Preparing to make fish-flavored eggplant, with these two dishes, and with a large plate of shredded potatoes fried by her mother and a plate of cold cucumbers, Ye Xia felt that the four dishes in the evening, combined with white flour steamed buns and mung bean porridge, although this meal was not particularly rich, it was not shabby, the key was that everyone could eat enough, which was enough.

Now that the famine year has just passed, the big pear tree is relying on the mountains and water, and with the help of her golden finger, the big guy's son has been much better than the other place in the past two years.

Take the white flour steamed buns, not every household can eat them, but you can still do it if you eat them once or twice a month, however, the rural people live a simple life, and everyone is willing to use fine noodles to exchange for thick noodles in the supply and marketing cooperatives, and they are reluctant to spoil the white noodles and eat the steamed buns with two and three noodles.

Because everyone knows that fine grains are exchanged for coarse grains for a lot of money, and they are eaten for a long time, and fine grains can also be bought on the black market for national meals, so that they can exchange a few oil, salt, sauce and vinegar money for their families.

Or change this ticket and that ticket so that you can buy the goods that are in short supply at home. In August, the night in the mountains is noticeably colder than outside the mountains, and if you don't cover anything before going to bed, you will definitely wake up in the middle of the night.

"Hey, are you asleep?"

He Yao and Cheng Junlang slept in the same room, maybe they changed places, or maybe they didn't feel sleepy, He Yao couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and couldn't help poking Cheng Junlang's back.

"What do you think?"

Cheng Junlang turned his back to He Yao and was about to fall asleep, when the other party stretched out his finger and poked it on his back, frowning.

"I can't sleep."

He Yao: "You accompany me." ”

"This is not your own home, you don't want to sleep in tomorrow morning."

During the holidays, He Yao at least slept until the clock, then cleaned himself up, had breakfast, and began to listen to Cheng Junlang's tutoring. ”

"No one dragged you here, if you want to go back, you can move back tomorrow morning."

Cheng Junlang didn't leave any face, and when he heard this, He Yao snorted, "I'm not as good as you want, when will you leave here, and when will I follow." After a pause, he sighed, and said: "It's very cool here, it's the mountain when you go out, let's go to the mountain to play tomorrow." ”

"You'd better not run around, I've heard from Second Brother Jiang that there are occasional big guys in the mountains around their village."

In order to prevent He Yao from secretly going up the mountain alone, Cheng Junlang felt that it was necessary to scare the other party.

But if you really think about it, it's actually not a scare, after all, no one can tell when the big guy in the mountains will run out.

"You don't think there are wolves and tigers in the mountains around this big pear tree?"

He Yao's tone was obviously unbelieving.

"I don't know if there are tigers and wolves, but there are definitely wild boars, and if you think you can beat them, you can carry me into the mountains alone."

Cheng Junlang was cold, and He Yao didn't make a sound for a long time.

I thought that the other party would just be quiet until I fell asleep, and after a few minutes, I was poked in the back again.

"How much are we going to play here?"

When he came to play in the mountains, he wanted to be fresh, and if he stayed here for a long time, he would definitely be bored. "When I set off, my aunt stuffed me with a wad of money tickets, and I will give Aunt Lin the food expenses of the two of us tomorrow, as for when I will leave, I don't have a definite date now."
