Chapter 24: Reckoning with each other

"These guys are really thieves."

Turning out of the embankment, I met a few hairy boys walking this way.

When these people saw Chen Jingnian, they were obviously stunned for a moment, their eyes staring at the noodle bag he was carrying, and a meaningful expression appeared on their faces.

"It's treating me like I'm on the road."

Chen Jingnian didn't think about it, he went down the river embankment as soon as his feet were lifted, and the rain boots didn't walk with his feet very much, but they didn't hinder much.

By the time he got home, it was already dark.

The rising smoke mixed together, which stimulated Chen Jingnian to sneeze twice in a row.

Chen Jingnian came to the main house, put the bag at the door, and removed the grass stalks on his body.

After pushing the door in, I saw Li Xianwen on the ground putting spokes on a car rim, "Fifth uncle, I'm hungry, I'll wash my hands and go cook." ”

"I'm not hungry, your sister and your brother-in-law picked up the girl in the afternoon, and let's just make a paste to eat in the evening."

Li Xianwen glanced up, opened his mouth and asked, "How did you get this virtue, hurry up and boil some water to wash your hair, and then change your trendy clothes." ”

"The tooth sacrifice went, haha, I hit a rabbit."

Chen Jingnian wiped his head and face with his sleeve and smiled proudly.

"Rabbit, it's on the edge of the city now."

Li Xianwen put down the spoke wrench in his hand, rubbed his hands, and said: "If you want to say that this rabbit is not easy to clean up, cook the skin, remove the stinky glands, your fourth uncle is a good hand at cleaning up this thing, we can't do it." ”

Chen Jingnian smiled slyly, "Yes, that's why I didn't take it into the house, I just didn't plan to clean it up ourselves." ”

Li Xianwen lowered the corners of his mouth and didn't squeak, he and Chen Jingnian have been together for so many years, so he naturally knows that this kid has an idea again.

The previous Chen Jingnian was silent about everything, and he had his own ideas in a sullen voice.

After recovering from a serious illness, I became much more cheerful.

is more and more respectful to him, but not Zhao Jianjun's awe, it is close and respectful.

Li Xianwen also likes this sensible and knowledgeable Chen Jingnian more and more.

Although because of numerology, he confiscated Chen Jingnian as his godson, but he was closer to Chen Jingnian than anyone else.

The two of them basically knew each other's thoughts with one look, and they didn't need to say a word at all, so Li Xianwen waited for this kid to make a move.

"Fifth uncle, don't get it, I'll go wash it first, and I'll get it after dinner in a while."

Chen Jingnian took off his coat, saw Li Xianwen "um" and continued to be busy with the work in his hands, knowing that it was useless to say more, so he turned around and went out.

I thought that my plan would take a while to be implemented, but I didn't expect to go out and see Yan Bugui, who was picking his teeth, coming out of the house.

"Three masters, what are you eating?"

Chen Jingnian carried the noodle bag and greeted.

"What can you eat, wotou, pickles, shredded radish soup."

Yan Bugui threw away the broom branch in his hand, kicked his eyes and asked, "Jing Nian, what are you taking, there is a fishy smell." ”

"Haha, three masters, your old nose is really smart."

Chen Jingnian seemed to have been scratched his armpit, and as he spoke, he took out the rabbit from the bag and said, "Didn't you see a rabbit on the edge of the city before, let me touch it on the weekend today, take a look!" ”

"Hey, I'll see, I'll see."

Yan Bugui's eyes straightened the moment Chen Jingnian took the rabbit out.

Hurriedly stepped forward, lifted the rabbit ears, and said in a loud voice: "Amazing, amazing!" This fur, this, hey? Jing Nian, you are a god, this is a rabbit eye with a broken bow, and it is also a rabbit eye. ”

"It's okay, haha, it's a coincidence."

Chen Jingnian took a step back, a little regretful that he didn't have time to stuff the paper ball.

"It's a rabbit, hey, hey, that's fat."

The three mothers heard Yan Bugui's voice and also came out of the house.

"Three mothers."

Chen Jingnian smiled again, touched his head and said, "Three mothers, I didn't think that this rabbit was so fat, I just wanted to get some meat for Nan Nan to replenish his body."

You also saw that these children in the yard are weak and weak, and this is about to enter winter, how can I make it if I don't make up for some autumn fat, I touched the grass on the edge of the city for an afternoon, and my body was wet, so I hit it. ”

"Jing Nian, if you want to say that you are really qualified to be a brother, you can do anything good."

"But I can't afford you to say that, when I was recuperating, I only drank a bowl of paste a day, and my little face was thin."

"She has a good brain, there is no teacher in school who doesn't praise her, and Teacher Xiao Ran of our school is about to pick her up and put her on the top of her head."

Yan Bugui just didn't let go of the rabbit when he carried it, and his eyes were about to swallow the rabbit.

The more you say this, the better it sounds: "This time the math competition in the district, Nan Nan is the biggest hope of our school, this little guy doesn't play the addition and subtraction within three digits, and he has nothing to ask the teacher questions, and he can confuse the teacher......'s questions."

"Haha, look at what you said."

Chen Jingnian snorted, and then said: "I originally wanted to replenish her brain, but the iron beads suddenly hit the rabbit's eyes, and the rabbit's head is useless, I have to quickly chop off the rabbit's head with a knife and throw it away, or the meat should be mixed with rust." ”

"Don't, Jing Nian, this rabbit is not such a pick-up method."

Yan Bugui crossed his arm and said with a smile: "Jing Nian, can you trust your three masters?" ”

"Where is this, three masters, you are always an intellectual, a teacher who teaches and educates, and no one can disbelieve you if you don't believe it."

Chen Jingnian pretended not to know why, and said in a daze.

"That's it, that's it, Jing Nian, what about you and me, I don't have any other skills, but when it comes to cleaning up rabbits, it's a hand to hold a skin.

The three masters don't talk to you, this rabbit, the three masters help you clean up, the skin is cooked for you, you give the rabbit head to the three masters, and the three masters keep it for fishing and nesting. ”

Yan Bugui shook the rabbit and looked up at Chen Jingnian.

"Axe, the ancestral home of your three masters is Datong, Shanxi, and Datong is famous for making rabbit heads......"

The three mothers are definitely a qualified person, and they are very good at slipping.

"Hey, I'm struggling to pick it up. You take it, don't say the rabbit head, the rabbit's stomach and intestines are also reserved for you to fish and make a nest, you know that the mouth is tricky, these goods can't be eaten. ”

Chen Jingnian made a fuss, looking like an ugly daughter-in-law finding her next home, and at the end, she said: "That's right, the third master." I've heard that rabbits have stinky glands in their butts, so please help me remove them, so thank you in advance. ”

"Cheng, it's not a problem, wait, wait for me to do it, and I'll send it to you after I finish cleaning up."

"Look at what you said, this is enough to trouble you old, you always cough, cough and I'll go over and get it."

Chen Jingnian and Yan Fugui were like in-laws who had just finished a blind date dinner, and they said a few kind words warmly, and then they were busy with their own work.

After Chen Jingnian entered the house, he began to wash his hands and cook, and there were more people in the yard who came out to walk after eating, and soon gathered in a pile in front of Yanbu Gui's house, and talked about the rabbit.

The words "axe, help, how is this rabbit" kept coming into Chen Jingnian's ears.

After Chen Jingnian took the blade, the manganese steel kitchen knife of Zi Weiwei and Lan Wow cut the cabbage and green onions, dug up a spoonful of sharp meat oil, and boiled a pot of paste.

I had dinner with Li Xianwen, and when I came back, I chatted with the neighbors in the yard, which was nothing more than where the rabbit hit it and how it was beaten.

After brushing the dishes and chopsticks, I started to boil water, today is the weekend, the day of Li Xianwen's bath.

Hot water was poured into the barrel with iron bars, and Li Xianwen's face was reddened.

Li Xianwen soaked comfortably in the water, and said to Chen Jingnian, who was rubbing his back: "The eldest is stupid, and the second is bad." Your sister is not stupid, but she really doesn't have as many ideas as you, and it's just some crooked ideas. ”

"Look at what you said, if you want to be with it, we want what people think, and we are anxious about what people are anxious about."

Chen Jingnian wiped a wound on Li Xianwen's shoulder with half a towel, and said: "The three masters and their families will take advantage of it, and if they don't pick up money when they go out, they will lose money, don't you see him look at the rabbit, I feel that this rabbit has to lose three layers of meat after it is stewed." ”

"It's all from hard times, Yan Laoxi loves to take advantage of it, and he is a little cautious, that's because his family is the only one who earns money, his job title can't be evaluated, and his salary is not high, so he has to starve if he doesn't save a little, this person! Poor ** count, if you are poor, your stomach will bend your intestines. ”

"You're right, if he really has bad intentions, let alone the rabbit head and the pendants in his belly, I can't let him get a single rabbit hair."

"You can't have the heart to hurt people, you can't have the heart to prevent people, how others don't get along with us, just know what's going on, you have to learn from your godfather, don't learn from me."

"You brothers, each has its own good, I try to learn all the advantages."

"You're the urinal with gold trim."

"I'll wipe your back when you say that."

"Isn't it almost finished?"

"Well, I said I've never seen a donkey like you."

"Haha, bring me the left side again, you can go and rest, I'll soak for a while."

"Cheng, I'll add some heat to you later, I'll bring the wood over again, and hurry up to carve the hairpin out for my sister and my godmother while it's bright."

Chen Jingnian rubbed Li Xianwen's left side, where there was a penetrating wound, leaving a deep flesh pit on the front and back.

After finishing the work, he poured a glass of water and put it on the stool next to him, and went out to return to the main house with a few hairpins that had been roughly carved.

Li Xianwen chatted with him without a match.

During this period, Chen Jingnian filled the wooden basin with some hot water, and after Li Xianwen soaked for a while, he was a little sleepy, so he squinted his eyes.

The manganese steel carving knife cut through the nanmu, like a spring breeze sweeping over the branches, and the sparse sawdust fell to the ground one after another.

To the girl? Well, carve a cartoon sheep.

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and the ancients will not deceive me!"

Chen Jingnian hummed happily, and from time to time he played a knife flower in his hand.

He didn't know what level of lathe Li Mancang was asking for, but he must be a careful one.

This carving knife is very careful, the all-steel knife body, the knife body is slightly concave, and it is specially wrapped with a layer of black tape, which is very comfortable to hold in your hand.

"You didn't study in vain in high school, you can drag two sentences if you have nothing to do."

Li Xianwen opened his eyes, took a handful of water, flushed his face, and said, "Don't soak it, go back to sleep." ”

Chen Jingnian took down a towel quilt he used when he was a child from the shelf on the side, wrapped it around Li Xianwen's body, and carried him back to the bedroom.

Waiting for Li Xianwen to lie down, Chen Jingnian brought the water cup over and put it on the edge of the kang.

Then he scooped out the bath water from the basin and poured it under the mountain vines by the courtyard wall.

"Axe, let's see if you're satisfied!"

Yan Bugui walked over with the rabbit that had been skinned and decapitated, and said with a smile.

"You're always really sharp, and you'll be able to clean it up in a while."

Chen Jingnian took the rabbit, didn't look at it carefully, and praised casually: "This is the craft, I really didn't expect you to be knowledgeable, and you still have such a hand under this hand." ”

"Haha, what kind of craft is this."

Yan Bugui was very happy, nodded Chen Jingnian with his hand, and said, "It's not a loss that I have read books, this profound knowledge is used well, and it is used well." ”

"That's fine, third master, I won't be polite to you, my fifth uncle has just finished taking a bath, and I still have to pour the bath water."

"Axe, there is another matter, you have to grab a salt noodle for the uncle, I cook rabbit skin for use."

Yan Bugui tilted his head, looked at Chen Jingnian and said, "By the way, you have to get me some hay, I have to burn some plant ashes." ”

"Cheng, you can wait a while."

Chen Jingnian sent a rabbit with a butt like a tiger bitten into the house, wrapped a handful of salt in the kitchen, and went to the warehouse to bundle a bundle of hay and handed it to Yan Bugui.
