Chapter 134: A Walk in the Fields
"I killed a pig today, is there another pig?"
Bai Yaolong didn't understand the dealer at all, and he couldn't find a topic, so he could only break through in the pig.
"Yes, there is another one, which will be sold in a new year."
Xu Wenmin replied as he walked.
"How much can it be sold for?"
Bai Yaolong was still very concerned about her family's economic situation, but when Xu Wenmin said that her pigs were relatively thin and sold for 500 yuan at most, Bai Yaolong was not calm when he heard this.
After a year of hard work, a pig was sold for 500, which was too little, and it was not as much as his monthly living expenses.
He was a little disappointed, but it was not good to dampen Xu Wenmin's enthusiasm, so he had to pretend to smile and say:
"Then since it hasn't been sold yet, you will take me to feed the pigs in a while, I came to your house this time, and my biggest dream is to feed the pigs once, haha."
Xu Wenmin heard that he regarded feeding pigs as a dream, and was also amused, and said:
"You city people are so boring, what's the fun of feeding pigs?"
"So what do you say is fun in the countryside?"
Of course, Bai Yaolong was just amusing her, and now that the topic has opened, of course he has to follow her.
Xu Wenmin thought about it, she had been in the countryside for a long time, and she had long felt that nothing was fun.
And her dream is to get out of this mountain nest and become a teacher in the town or city, so that she can no longer engage in these boring and heavy farm work.
"I don't know, it doesn't seem like it's fun."
Xu Wenmin really can't think of it, and of course she doesn't blame her, because for her, the countryside is really nothing fun.
Bai Yaolong saw that it was okay, and talked to death again, so he had to point to a red orange tree on the hillside in the distance and said:
"Is the fruit tree yours? If so, why don't you take me to pick a few oranges, and climbing trees is also one of the things I want to do when I go back to the countryside. ”
Xu Wenmin was helpless, she felt that Bai Yaolong was now like a child who had just entered the zoo, full of curiosity about the environment here.
I had to nod and say that although the orange tree was not her family, it was no problem to pick a few from the villagers.
When the two came to the orange tree, Bai Yaolong spat and planned to climb up to pick oranges.
Xu Wenmin saw that he really wanted to climb a tree, so he hurriedly stopped him, saying that it was too dangerous for a city person like you to climb a tree.
But Bai Yaolong was not afraid, in order to show his strength Niu B, he said that it was okay, and climbed towards the tree.
He had never climbed a tree before, thinking that it would be easy on his own strength.
But just as he was climbing to the top of the tree, a branch broke, and the man fell from the tree like a water dog.
But fortunately, it was on the ground at the last moment, otherwise it would be ugly if a dog ate.
But even so, he was also embarrassed, his coat was cut by a branch, and there was a bloody mark on his face.
Xu Wenmin saw that he had fallen hard, so he hurriedly came over to help him and asked him if he was okay, of course Bai Yaolong shook his head and said that it was okay, but he felt a hot pain on his face.
When Xu Wenmin saw him like this, he was both amused and angry:
"What kind of tree did you say you climbed, don't say that your clothes are torn now, your face is broken, how will I explain to my godmother when I go back."
"It's okay, you just say that I'm to blame and ask for my own hardship."
Bai Yaolong was also embarrassed to say, he didn't expect that he would fail the first time he pretended to be B.
Xu Wenmin saw that he was injured, and he didn't dare to take him around anymore, so he could only take him back, but fortunately, his face was scratched, and there was nothing wrong with his body.
After walking home, looking at Bai Yaolong's embarrassed statue, the adults were very surprised, and after asking the reason, they couldn't cry or laugh.
Then, Xu Wenmin took him to wash his face, took out alcohol to disinfect him, and then took a needle and thread from the house, and motioned Bai Yaolong to take off his coat.
After Bai Yaolong took off his coat and handed it to her, Xu Wenmin was like a gentle little woman, sewing it for him stitch by stitch in the still warm sun.
Her motherly and virtuous appearance made Bai Yaolong's heart move, this is not the wife of her dreams or something, if she can really marry herself, she is willing to die.
Looking at Xu Wenmin's needlework, Zeng Hui and his wife also praised Xu Wenmin's ingenuity, but Xu Wenmin modestly said that she was a rural girl who knew how to do needlework.
But when she said this, Bai Yaolong didn't believe it, because Xu Wenmin made up for it in less than ten minutes because of such a big opening, which shows that she often does these things in order to practice makes perfect.
After she finished all this, Bai Yaolong felt both admiration and heartache for her, because this also showed that she often wore some sewing and mending clothes.
Soon it was 11 o'clock, and Xu Wenmin's family also came to eat shaved pig soup and other good villagers, and everyone knew that they were from the city when they saw Bai Yaolong's family's clothes.
However, after a detailed conversation, everyone also understood that although the Bai family was from the city, they were very talkative and polite, so they also became acquainted.
After asking about the relationship between the two families, the villagers even said that Xu Wenmin was so blessed, and having such a rich godmother and godfather as you could be regarded as the Xu family's hard work.
These words made Xu Wenmin a little embarrassed, but Bai Yaolong quickly stood up and said:
"Where, uncles and aunts, it's my mom and my dad who are lucky, Wen Min can become my daughter, that's the blessing of my family's eight lifetimes of merit cultivation, do you say it?"
When these villagers heard this, they also raised their heads proudly.
Xu Wenmin was raised by them since childhood, and he was the pride of the village, and now that they say so, they are also honored, and they say again and again that Bai Yaolong can speak.
Aunt Lu was also very happy after hearing this, and praised Bai Yaolong's sensibility again and again.
And Xu Wenmin was very surprised, because she didn't expect Bai Yaolong to defend herself so much, but as an insider, she didn't say anything, just took out the oranges at home and the melon seeds she bought to entertain these villagers.
Zeng Hui was also self-cooked, she also bought some candy and helped Xu Wenmin distribute it to the villagers, and the Bai family quickly integrated into this small collective.
After a while, Tang Jun also came with Zhang Xudong, but Ma Ziqiang couldn't come because his relatives were gone, and Zhang Xudong was also very happy to see Bai Yaolong, but looking at the wound on his face and asking him what was wrong, Bai Yaolong had to helplessly say what he had just done, which made Tang Jun and the two laugh.
At noon, after the pig was killed and cut the meat, Xu Wenmin's family and Zeng Hui and other women were busy cooking on the fire, and soon, the three dishes were made by their capable hands, and at noon, everyone ate fresh vegetables and meat, drank warm liquor, and ate this New Year's meal happily.
During the banquet, Bai Junhua drank a lot of wine with some villagers, and also said that he was from the countryside, which made everyone a lot closer.
In the afternoon, Zeng Hui and Bai Junhua and the villagers basked in the sun and pulled homely things, while Tang Jun and Zhang Xudong took Bai Yaolong to set off fireworks, and went to the river to play floating, and introduced Bai Yaolong to the place where they played with Xu Wenmin when they were young, as well as the way to school, etc., so that Bai Yaolong had some new understanding of Xu Wenmin.
By four o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Yaolong finally didn't want to play with these two fools anymore, he just wanted to get together with Xu Wenmin again, so he euphemistically expressed his intentions, and after Tang Jun understood, he suddenly realized, just say it, we still hope that the two of you can become a couple.
After speaking, Tang Jun said that they would not go to dinner, and asked Bai Yaolong to say a word to Xu Wenmin, and then took Zhang Xudong away.
