When Xiao Guofu was young, he often went up the mountain with his grandmother and son to pick chestnuts, and every time he would bring the fruit back to the second elder.

Later, the grandmother's son died, and Xiao Guofu was worried that the second elder would be inconvenient to do heavy work, so he often came to take care of him.

Yesterday, I would take the sugar fried chestnuts given by Li Shuixian and his wife and give them to my grandmother to taste, but I also wanted Grandma to remember the taste, so as not to be deceived by strangers who came to collect chestnuts outside.

When Li Shuixian gave the chestnuts, he told him that in addition to her and Xiao Zhihai, there must be others to collect the chestnuts.

asked him to inform the Xiao family in the mountains that the chestnuts were left to her and Xiao Zhihai and could not be sold to others.

said that others would be short of catties and two pounds, and cheated the villagers out of money.

Xiao Guofu never thought that this stranger who cheated money from outside would be the bully Xiao Cheng's young couple.

After Xiao Zhigang's father moved to Xinzhen, he rarely came back except for Qingming every year, and Xiao Zhigang was the same.

Xiao Cheng has never been back to the countryside since he was a child.

Xiao Guofu's understanding of Xiao Cheng is limited to listening to the oral tradition of the Xiao family in the town when he goes to the town to catch the market.

are all bad comments, saying that Xiao Cheng bullied men and women, committed murder on the street, and did all kinds of evil.

spoke ill of his stepmother, behaved against him, did nothing all day long, and fought everywhere with a group of thugs.

Xiao Guofu didn't know the facts, he didn't know who to believe for a while, and he didn't know how to choose.

But Xiao Cheng helped him borrow bricks to carry people on the way back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, seek justice for the Xiao family, force back the Chen family's ancestor worship team, and open the way for the ancestors and ancestors, which is an indisputable fact, and no one in the Xiao family can do it.

Moreover, from returning to the countryside from the town to going up to the mountain to worship his ancestors, Xiao Cheng did not do any bad behavior.

Come to think of it, there are rumors that are both true and false.

Not to mention, the trust of grandpa and grandma in Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu is cordial, and it has long exceeded the level of meeting the Xiao family outside for the first time, and the second elder's acquaintance will not be wrong.

Naturally, everything is already in mind.

Xiao Guofu finally agreed, and the chestnuts saved by his grandfather and grandmother were sold to Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu.

As for the others......

He just notified someone to buy chestnuts, Xiao Cheng and Xiao Zhihai and his wife, he didn't help anyone.

The people sell to whomever they like.

It's all the same price anyway.

As for his family's chestnuts, let's talk about it after sacrificing to the ancestors, there is still a Xiao ancestral tomb to worship in the afternoon.

Xiao Guofu finished explaining to a few people in the house, and he would have half an hour to eat, so he hurried back to the square.

Grandma took Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu to the house where the chestnuts were stored, which was next door to the main house, which was also a mud brick house.

There is a lot of space, looking at the construction specifications of poultry animals such as pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese.

Push open the wooden door.

As far as the eye can see, there are large piles of earthy brown sand, piled up, very tall and wide.

"When my son was young, he would go to the mountains with Ah Fu to make traps, catch a lot of wild boar cubs and come back, and sometimes he would catch pheasants and hares, all kinds of small animals, and raise them separately."

Speaking of sadness, Grandma paused, and after a while, her face rose with relief: "Later, Ah Fu also caught a little piglet for us, and we all kept it in this house."

"Who knew that the little piglets had not been raised for a few days, and suddenly a big typhoon blew, and all the black tile roof beams on the roof were torn off, smashed to the ground, and crushed all the little piglets to death."

"After Ah Fu brought people over to repair the roof, we didn't raise any more piglets." Speaking of this, Grandma smiled at Bai Lu, who was listening carefully: "Actually, it's the little piglet on the mountain that has become sperm, and Ah Fu can't catch it."

Grandma smiled so that the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were raised, and there was kindness and kindness in her smile, without the slightest blame.

Bai Lu's feet had just finished wiping the medicinal wine, and they were still in pain, and they were being helped by Xiao Cheng at the moment, and they also replied to Grandma with just the right surprised smile: "Probably the little piglets didn't expect that Fu Bo was so powerful that he caught all their relatives, so the little piglets were all scared and ran away."

This remark not only affirms Xiao Guofu's ability to catch piglets, but also matches the meaning of grandma to protect future generations.

Grandma doesn't mention how much she likes Bai Lu, and praises with a brighter smile: "It's a good fortune to be strong and blessed, and I married a smart and beautiful daughter-in-law, but I have to cherish it."

Xiao Cheng supported his good daughter-in-law, and he didn't know whether to echo or have other intentions, so he replied seriously: "Yes."

Grandpa and Grandma were full of relief.

Grandma continued: "When there were no more piglets, we brought back the sand and chestnuts that were stored in the cave and put them all back in the house. The old man and I went to the mountains to pick up these chestnuts and dropped them, and we couldn't pick the ones on the trees that were too high, and the short ones would be beaten with bamboo poles. ”

"It's not much, and it is estimated that all the chestnuts buried in the sand add up, and it is only about 2,000 catties."

Grandma's understated tone made Bai Lu smack her tongue, more than 2,000 catties of chestnuts, not much?

It's just that two old people can pick up so much, it's hard to imagine how amazing the number of chestnuts picked up by the young people in the clan, and how many people in the family are tens of thousands?

Thinking about it, Xiao Wei could pick up more than 400 catties by himself, and Bai Lu's surprise was suddenly soothed.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but reach out and touch the lid of the little guy on the side, it's amazing!

Xiao Wei suddenly regretted a little, the big straw hat should not be held, it should be worn on his head.

However, when he raised his eyes and saw that Bai Lu was being supported by his eldest brother, he was relieved of his awkward mood.

Well, it's actually nice to touch it.

Grandma took a shovel from the corner of the house, and Grandpa took it to shovel the sand, and soon shoveled out a sack of chestnuts.

Shook the sand from above.

Grandma opened the tether of the sack and said, "Fortunately, there is sand, otherwise there would be no good chestnuts."

"There is a very wide river on the other side of the mountain, there is sand in the river, and there is a lot of sand in the shallows by the river, no one took care of the river before, and the villagers used sacks to carry a lot of chestnuts back to bury them.

"Don't even let the villagers get close to the river, and get close to the one who is going to be beaten, the boss is very fierce......"

Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng glanced at each other, and at the same time read the tacit understanding from each other's eyes - Li Chengbin.

Most of the sand and gravel fields on this side of Pingcheng are in the hands of Li Chengbin, who is covered by a protective umbrella and acts rampantly.

Grandma grabbed a handful of chestnuts and gave them to Xiao Cheng, smiling and hinting that he would peel Bai Lu and taste it.

Under Bai Lu's puzzled and surprised gaze, Xiao Cheng supported her waist with his left hand, and began to peel chestnuts with his right hand.

The chestnut is held in the broad palm, and a chestnut is sandwiched between the slender thumb and index finger, pinched and peeled.

Move freely and smoothly.

Soon, Xiao Cheng peeled a chestnut and handed it to Bai Lu's mouth in front of his grandfather and grandmother.

Bai Lu still held his arm, opened his mouth slightly, bit down the chestnut, and chewed slowly.

Well...... Very sweet.

Xiao Cheng withdrew his fingertips that had been touched by the soft lip flap, and continued to peel the chestnuts as if nothing had happened.

The next pinched chestnut was faintly hot, and when it was sent to Bai Lu's mouth, there was still residual warmth.

Bai Lu seemed to be aware of it, and when the next chestnut was brought to his mouth, he deliberately avoided it.

But by chance, it bit his finger......
