When we got home, my aunt still hadn't come back, and I saw that it was getting dark, so I wanted to make dinner with Jiang Zhi first. By the way, I will practice the firewood burning technique I learned in the morning.

We learned from my aunt's ignition steps, first took dried straw to start the fire, then added pine branches, and when the fire was a little bigger, we added wooden pieces.

I don't know if there was a problem with any of the steps, but we didn't light the fire, but we got a room full of smoke, which made the two of us cough vigorously.

At this time, the voice of the aunt came from the yard.

"What's up, what's going on." The aunt shouted anxiously to the kitchen in the yard.

We hurriedly ran to the yard and said, "Auntie, you're back, haha, we originally wanted to make dinner first, but the fire didn't start." ”

As soon as my aunt heard me say this, she understood, and my sister-in-law walked into the kitchen quickly to clean up our kitchen.

"Auntie, we followed the steps you made to light the fire in the morning, why don't you smoke if you don't catch fire?" I was very confused about this, so I asked.

"It's so easy to burn firewood, it's not enough to just watch and learn, I'll teach you hand in hand." My aunt smiled when she looked at our smoky black faces.

Jiang Zhi and I looked at the cigarette ash on each other's faces, you touch me, I touch you and play away.

When we were all cleaned up, my aunt asked us.

"Ash, I heard that you are going to collect mountain goods in our village?"

"Yes, Auntie, we want to collect some mountain goods." Jiang Zhi stepped forward to take the things in his aunt's hand and put them on the table in the room.

"Why do you suddenly want to collect mountain goods?" The aunt and the brother-in-law asked as they washed their hands.

"I didn't want to accept it all of a sudden, I wanted to accept it before we came. Didn't we open a vegetable shop in D City, and now the store sells some vegetables and fruits, which is too monotonous, so I want to come to my aunt to collect some mountain goods and go back to buy them, and expand the variety of goods sold. Originally, we wanted us to come at this time, thinking that your mountain goods from last year would have to be sold early, and we would be able to bring some wild vegetables with us when we went back. I didn't expect to know at Aunt Qin's house today that you still have several mountain goods from last year that you haven't sold, so just sell them to me. Jiang Zhi explained.

"Before we came, one of Jiang Zhi's old classmates begged him to bring some mountain goods back, and he wanted to provide welfare to the employees of the unit. At first, we didn't dare to promise him, because we were afraid that there would be nothing, but now we look just right. I handed over the towel next to me and said for Jiang Zhi.

The sister-in-law spoke at this time, "If this is the case, it is really just right." ”

Jiang Zhi saw that his aunt had no question about us receiving mountain goods, so he took the opportunity to ask his aunt about Lao Jiatou.

"You ask him what he does." Auntie said suspiciously.

"It's not that Xiaoyi likes it very much after he comes, and he wants to come here for a vacation in the future, so he wants to buy a house here, which is more convenient. In the afternoon, I heard Aunt Qin say that Lao Jia Tou had passed away, and no one had inherited his house. I just wanted to ask if we could buy it. "Jiang Zhi is talking to me.

"What kind of house to buy and buy a house, your aunt and I will live here, do you want to come and play or live somewhere else? Xiaoyi, you just have to come, you can come whenever you want, come to your aunt's house to live, and your aunt's house has a place. "After my aunt criticized Jiang Zhi and made a promise to me, look at me that I am still very attractive, I want to be nervous again.

"Auntie, listen to me, we must live in your house when we come, and we will not live in my aunt's house. However, the environment is so good, Xiaoyi said that she also wanted her parents to live for a period of time, experience life in the mountains, and recuperate and recuperate. Jiang Zhi saw that his aunt was about to speak again, so he hurriedly continued. If my father-in-law and mother-in-law come, I will definitely be able to stay with my aunt. He saw that his aunt nodded after listening to his words. However, my father-in-law and mother-in-law must be inconvenient to live in, don't the old people have old ideas, and no one's home is as comfortable as their own home! If they say that they want to live at my aunt's house, they will definitely not bring it, they are afraid of bothering you. Auntie, do you say yes? ”

Aunt will be heart-to-heart, if she is she will not live, even if she will not live permanently, as the saying goes, "the gold nest and silver nest are not as good as their own kennel." ”

"That's right, but if you want to buy it, you can't buy Lao Jiatou's house." Auntie nodded and agreed.

"What's the matter, is there something wrong with him, or is there something wrong with the house." Jiang Zhi and I were shocked when we heard my aunt's words, could it be that there is something wrong with the house, then we are just happy.

"There is nothing wrong with his house, but there is a problem with Lao Jiatou. You don't know, this old Jia Tou usually learns at home that the goddess draws on yellow paper every day, saying that he is drawing talismans, and over the years, I haven't seen what he has drawn, nor have I watched him do anything big with the talismans he drawn. During the special period, he was also dragged out as a god stick to criticize and fight. "Auntie is very unimpressed with Lao Jiatou's behavior of drawing talismans.

I didn't expect it, if what my aunt said was true, then this old Jia Tou is still a Taoist, but listening to my aunt's statement, I should have never touched the threshold of the spell of the talisman in my life, otherwise I wouldn't have been in this small mountain village, and I had to help everyone to send it when I died in the end.

You must know that there are Taoist disciples who can draw talismans in modern times, and each of the talismans they draw is hard to find. So they live in a villa and drive a famous car. Of course, there are also some worldly masters who see through the red dust and live in seclusion in the countryside, but there are still few people who do not seek fame and fortune.

"Auntie, as long as the house is fine, no matter how old Jia Tou is, isn't he already dead." Jiang Zhi and his aunt said that we bought a house, as long as the house is fine.

"Then if you buy it, you just leave it like this?" My aunt accepted that we wanted to buy a house, and now she starts to think that we are wasting.

"Isn't there a little aunt here, just go and see it when you have time. Usually it's fine, I can also let my mom come and stay more. This statement touched my aunt. It would be nice if my sister could come and stay often.

"That's okay, I'll let your brother-in-law go to the village chief's house to see it in a while, the village chief is also on fire for a while, the village originally wanted to sell the house and send the famine of the old man Jia, but his house is in the east of the village, next to the mountains, and no one buys it, if this house is left empty for a few more years, it will be scrapped." After my aunt thought about it, her ability to act was still very fast.

When the sister-in-law started cooking, she sent the sister-in-law to the village chief's house to ask about the house.

The little brother-in-law came back soon, and the village chief was very happy that someone bought the house, and he didn't rush to buy it at a high price, so he sold it for 200,000 yuan, and also gave Jia Laotou two acres of paddy fields and ten acres of pine forest contract rights for 10 years.

I was so impressed by the conditions of this gift, but we still asked my aunt and my brother-in-law's opinion.

Auntie is still too expensive.

But the sister-in-law said that the house was worth it.

We were going to see the house tomorrow morning, but we were all thinking that we would buy it as long as it was inhabitable.

The matter of the house is so decided, we eat with peace of mind, and after eating, I want to behave positively and go to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Before I finished brushing the bowl, I heard Aunt Qin's loud voice.

"Shuju, it's time to eat." She must have been keeping an eye on us from the yard, seeing that we had just put down the dishes and chopsticks, and then came.

"Sister Qin is here, come in, come in." Auntie greeted warmly.

"What's that, I'm here to deliver mountain goods to my eldest nephew." Aunt Qin scratched her hair embarrassedly, she was probably afraid that we would regret it and wanted to sell the mountain goods to us quickly.

"Sister Qin, you can help, or you will say that my little thing is not enough for them!" Auntie is still quite good at talking, and a few words will relieve Aunt Qin's embarrassment.

"Don't say that, the eldest nephew buys our mountain goods at this time, we can remember him well." Aunt Qin also hurriedly said.

"Alright, don't talk about it now, let's get down to business first." It's still the sister-in-law who has something to do.

The aunt took out the large scale from the warehouse that the sister-in-law borrowed when he went to the village chief's house. Ready to start weighing. "Sister Qin, Xiaozhi, they not only buy it for themselves, but also bring some for others, so our brothers settle the accounts and use the number on the scale as the standard, what's the matter?"

"Okay, that's how it should be, why can't you let the eldest nephew lose."

Then he weighed a few sacks of mountain goods.

A total of 643 kilograms, including nearly 150 kilograms of pine nuts, 340 kilograms of walnuts, and the rest are hazelnuts.

Aunt Qin was embarrassed to take a basket of dried wild vegetables that had just been dried, and asked if she would accept this. We collect it, but when the wild vegetables are down, there is no value in anything, so the price is lower. Fortunately, Aunt Qin didn't plan to sell at a high price, maybe she was scared by last year's events, so she could sell it if she could.

We told Aunt Qin to send the money to the county tomorrow after getting the money, and Aunt Qin hurriedly said, "I'm not busy, I can't trust Shuju." After that, he waved his sleeves and went to the house happy.

Not long after she left, another villager who had heard that we were collecting mountain goods came to my aunt's house with their own mountain goods to ask if they would accept them. We are the ones who come, as long as the quality of the things is good, we will accept them.

That's it, we were busy for 2 points. There are all kinds of mountain goods collected, such as jujubes, dried apricots, game bacon, and even domestic stupid eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs. In fact, we have all these in our space, and the quality may be better than theirs, but when I see the hope in their eyes, I can't say anything if I refuse. Anyway, I can't say, and there aren't many of these, so we'll take them all.

The yard is also lit with a large 100-watt light bulb to illuminate the yard.

Everyone didn't rush to leave after selling the mountain goods, they all found a place in the yard or sat or squatted, and chatted with us.

There is no night life in this ravine. After everyone finished eating in the evening, they either watched TV at home by themselves, or they took a small bench and a big fan and walked to the village to find acquaintances to chat.

Today we were collecting mountain goods at my aunt's house, and this yard was more lively, so everyone didn't go back, they all got together to chat and play cards. The little sister-in-law squatted on the ground, smoking a dry cigarette and a few old men didn't know what they were chatting about.

There are several children in the yard, running all over the yard, and from time to time they escape some pine nuts and hazelnuts from the hemp bags containing mountain goods, and they are crunched when they are thrown into their mouths.

In fact, the children are not hungry for that little thing, they have it at home, and they don't want to eat it at home, but a few children get together and eat it secretly. I have a son, and I used to be a teacher (actually, I still am, but I don't go to class), so I understand this kind of child's heart. I'll just assume I didn't see it, and I'll talk about how much a few children can eat.

The parents of several children were very satisfied when they saw me seeing the children stealing food, and their impression of me as a city man was much better.

At this time, a loud voice sounded outside the courtyard.
