Chapter 153: Lonely and Unheard
Helan Yue glanced at the skinny little guy in her arms, "After taking it through this winter, let it go back to the valley." ”
When the two returned to the courtyard, they saw Wen Chongming holding an orange and tossing it in his hand.
Wen Chongming saw the two of them coming in, and he hurriedly greeted him, "Senior sister, let's go find the old man with missing teeth." ”
"Wait a minute, what about my eldest sister?"
"They're in the utility room, sorting out the stuff they brought back from the valley today."
Hearing this, Helan Yue walked over.
Walking into the utility room, she took out the little guy wrapped in a handkerchief from the placket and handed it to the eldest sister.
"Eldest sister, you can help me take care of this little guy, and boil some hot water to give it a bath first."
The eldest sister wiped her hand on the apron, carefully took the little one, and hugged the soft little one, a little helpless.
When he saw the little guy's dark and misty eyes, his heart suddenly softened, and he gently hugged the little guy in his arms.
Qiuping also came around, reaching out with curiosity and novelty on his face, and touched the fluffy fur on the little guy's body.
There was another sound of Wen Chongming urging outside, and Helan Yue turned around and walked out.
The two of them went out of the yard and found that Chu Xiaohe also came out, thinking that he was too bored, so follow the two of them to see the excitement!
Wait until they come to the courtyard of the toothless old man.
I tapped on the door and no one responded.
Wen Chongming breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that he must not be accused of being a lonely and unheard of, he shouted loudly into the courtyard:
"Old man, I've got something good for you, come out quickly."
The toothless old man was playing Go with the gagged old man in the yard, and he ignored it, but as soon as he heard that there was something good, the toothless old man saw that he was about to lose this game, so he quickly disrupted the chess game.
"If there is something today, we will do it tomorrow."
"I think you just can't afford to lose."
"This chess game is only halfway through, and it's not certain who will win or lose, so don't give me a hat."
"If you don't come, I don't know what virtue you have."
"Don't talk nonsense with you, someone called me."
The toothless old man dropped a sentence and hurried to open the door.
When he opened the door and saw that it was Helan Yue and a few people, his face sank, and he was about to close the door, when Wen Chongming quickly threw the blood sink over.
"Old man, you know this thing."
The moment the toothless old man received the orange, he smelled a sweet fragrance.
He wanted to throw the orange back with a backbone, but this hand was disobedient and held the orange firmly.
So he said with a cold face: "Isn't it just an orange, what's so good." ”
"You peel it off and take a look, and you'll give it to me after the appraisal."
"The old man can still be greedy for an orange for you? It's really a guy who is full of poor sourness. ”
Wen Chongming endured his anger, grinded his back molars and said, "You are not stingy, you can get me a basket of these oranges, and I will say that you are generous." ”
"You can buy this thing in Fucheng, but I won't give it to you even if I buy it." The toothless old man snorted coldly and quickly peeled the orange.
This sweet fragrance made his mouth water, and he couldn't help but overflow.
Can he take back what he just said, he didn't want to return the orange at all, so he peeled off the skin and threw it to the young man.
After separating the orange from it, the old man's eyes widened when he saw the blood-red flesh inside.
Wen Chongming saw the surprised expression on the toothless old man's face, and immediately laughed.
"I also said that I was lonely and unheard, this old man has lived decades longer than me, and he doesn't know me like me."
"Who said that the old man doesn't know, this is blood orange."
The old man hurriedly turned around with the blood orange and said to the venomous old man on the side: "What are you doing stupidly? Don't hurry up and close the door yet. ”
When the venomous old man saw his expression, he knew that this blood orange must be a good thing.
Seeing the kid rushing over, he stomped his foot slightly, and a powerful aura forced the man back several steps, and the moment he hurried into the house, he slammed the door shut.
Wen Chongming felt embarrassed and threw himself to his grandmother's house, and he was even more annoyed and angry, slamming the door.
"You sanctimonious and duplicitous old man, hurry up and return my blood orange to me."
Helan Yue smiled proudly, "Senior brother, don't forget to promise what you want to do for me!" ”
Wen Chongming also knew in his heart that the blood orange would not come back.
The most important thing is that he actually has a reputation for being lonely and unheard, thinking of this, he nodded weakly.
Inside, two old men sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, one and a half, and they were taking small sips of blood oranges and tasting them with relish.
After eating, he licked the corners of his mouth unsatisfactorily.
The two looked at each other and walked towards the Lord's dwellings.
In the evening, a large pot of mutton stewed radish was stewed, and some cakes were pasted on the side of the pot.
I was afraid that I wouldn't have enough to eat, so I fried two Chinese cabbages with meat.
Dinner is ready and set on the table.
Wen Chongming and the three of them had already come over, but they hadn't seen Dashan Xiaoshan and Nan Nan yet, Helan Yue was about to go out to look for them, when she saw Yan Zhenhao and Yan Yunxi enter the courtyard together.
"My second sister and two younger brothers, why didn't they come back with you."
Yan Zhenhao sniffed his nose, smelled the fragrance of mutton in the air, raised his hand and pointed back.
"In the back."
When the two of them entered the house and sat down and waited for a while, they saw three embarrassed and some stumbling figures, rushing into the courtyard and sitting on the ground.
The eldest sister and Qiu Ping hurriedly fetched warm water and asked the three of them to wash their faces and go to eat.
During the meal, Helan Yue observed the three of them, although they were a little embarrassed, but the action of eating was not slow at all, and it seemed that a lot of physical energy must have been consumed in the afternoon.
After eating, they quickly removed the bowls.
On one side of the table was a small charcoal stove, teapot and cup.
He also brought water from a clay pot and burned it on a small charcoal stove.
After eating so much greasy food at night, drink some tea to get rid of the greasy taste.
Helan Yue cut a few more apples and blood oranges, and put a plate on the table.
In the afternoon they had all eaten, and these were for the siblings, and the cousin and the two younger brothers.
Yan Zhenhao looked at the empty plate in front of him, and there were still some unfinished thoughts, his eyes rolled, he looked at He Lanyue and asked, "Do you have an older brother who is the same age as my sister?" Or my cousin will do the same. ”
Helan Yue rolled her eyes at him deeply.
"Nope."
At the same time, I added in my heart: Yes, I can't introduce you to your sister, your sister looks pretty and beautiful, but my cousins are not her opponents combined.
Everyone sat for a while, and then left one after another.
When the three sisters had washed the dishes and cleaned the table, they saw that their cousin and Dashan Xiaoshan were still sitting motionless at the table, as if they were glued to the stool.
Helan Yue looked at these people and couldn't help asking, "What are you guys still sitting here doing, haven't you eaten?" ”
