Under the dark sky, Bai Lu's eyebrows and eyes were slightly bent, a few strands of hair on his sideburns were blown up by the wind, his clear eyes were as bright as a meter of sunshine, containing a warm smile, and he even wore a big straw hat to block the wind, overcoming thorns and thorns, sweeping the cold wind, unstoppably crashing into his heart, and fixing the temperature of falling into the abyss.

The clouds dawned, and the sky cleared.

The pale golden sunlight sprinkled all over the earth, sprinkling on Bai Lu's body, and her fingertips, clothes, and hair were all glowing.

Xiao Cheng's dark eyes were lit up, and a pair of candles in his hands lit up with a red flame, which was clearly extinguished, and no matter how fierce this cold wind was, it could not shake the accompanying fire.

Xiao Wei took the freshly lit incense and looked at Bai Lu standing in the sun, stunned for a while.

It wasn't until a pair of candles were ushered in front of the grave that he came back to his senses and inserted the incense in his hand in front of the grave.

Bai Lu also put on incense, and everyone did not speak, sweeping the tombs in silence.

Finally, there is the tomb of Xiao Wei's mother.

After clearing the weeds, light the incense candles......

Xiao Cheng did not leave immediately as in previous years, but turned around and walked outside the tomb and stopped.

In front of the grave, Bai Lu touched the top of the little guy's head, and the soft force fell on the slightly trembling shoulders and brought it to his side.

Xiao Wei leaned on the warm waist surrounded by the sun, and the hot water droplets fell silently from his eyes.

The clothes around Bai Lu's waist were stained, but he didn't take half a step back, and patted the little guy's back with his palm.

In previous years, this tomb was full of people after the incense, and no one mourned in front of the tomb.

If Xiao Wei dared to cry, Xiao Cheng would turn around and leave, and he would not wait for half a second.

It won't be like today, even if he still has a cold face, he has been staying outside the tomb.

A small choked voice came from the grave: "...... I bought new clothes...... words such as "mother's ......", "big brother and sister-in-law are very good to me......" and other words, but they didn't leave first.

……

It was already noon when he got home, and when he passed by the town street, Xiao Cheng bought cooked food, and when he went home to cook, he could start the meal.

Meal.

Bai Lu took a small bench and a pair of pliers, sat by the well in the yard, and cut the tail of the snail.

Xiao Wei looked at it for a while, and then brought a pair of pliers over to cut the tail of the snail in the same way.

Tomorrow he was going to the countryside to buy chestnuts, Xiao Cheng went to buy rice, of course, not to Li Shuixian to buy it, but to drive a brick cart and go to the rice processing factory outside the town.

The factory owner not only gave Xiao Cheng the lowest price in the market, but also invited him to drink tea, and the two talked happily.

After knowing that Xiao Cheng was not working under the big boss, Boss Mi also half-jokingly and half-seriously asked Xiao Cheng to come to the factory to be a manager, and the work was easy and the money was paid.

To put it bluntly, he took a fancy to Xiao Cheng's notoriety for acting ruthlessly in the past, and used him to deter the gang of people below.

In addition, when the partners who supply and sell the rice cannot pay back, let Xiao Cheng collect it.

I don't have much money, I have a lot of things to do, but in the end, I still go back to my old job and make a living on the cusp.

Xiao Cheng didn't know what he was thinking, and on the grounds that he was building a house, he coped with it in a few words.

A few words in passing mentioned the changeable prices in the city.

Boss Mi immediately chatted with him again.

There are a large number of rice fields outside the town, and it is not very far from the countryside, and the rice processing factory of the rice boss is opened here, which can be described as smooth sailing.

It doesn't end when we talk......

Bai Lu and Xiao Wei cut about three or four catties of snails, and there were many more in the basin, and they couldn't eat them all for a while.

"How long are they dead?" Xiao Wei stared at the little thing in the basin and asked very bluntly.

"There is no mud, and in two or three days it will be dead."

Bai Lu pursed her lips: "There are no snails to sell on the street, and the families who moved up from the countryside must have eaten fried snails, but we can sell them on the street, but we don't have many of them, and we can't make a lot of money, so it's better to eat them ourselves, not only can we fill our stomachs, but we won't waste them."

Xiao Wei suspected that she wanted to keep it for herself.

"There it is!" Bai Lu's eyes lit up: "We raise snails, and we can eat them whenever we want in the future, and we can eat as much as we want."

Xiao Wei: "......"

"How to raise?"

"Isn't there a small river in the backyard vegetable garden, we pour the snails into the river, and in the upstream and downstream of the river, nail down the bamboo at a distance and keep them in captivity, so that they can grow freely, and when they grow enough, they will be caught and fried."

Bai Lu seemed to have seen that the fried snails of the whole river were beckoning to her, telling her to quickly shake the pot down.

"Xiaowei, help me get all the snails to the dustpan, and I'll send them to oil later...... Down the river! ”

The small river in the vegetable garden is the water flowing down from the branch of the big river outside the town, and there is no industrial pollution for the time being.

The river in the countryside and the backyard creek look similar in water quality, both are clear, and should be able to feed.

Bai Lu took an excited little brisk step, quickly put the cut snails back into the kitchen, and returned the tongs to their original places.

Xiao Wei took a big dustpan and a small dustpan, and fished out all the snails in the basin and drained them.

After fishing, he and Bai Lu took a dustpan and moved the rest of the snails to the backyard river.

After the sound of "dong dong dong" water sounded, the two remembered that there seemed to be no bamboo at home.

Bai Lu looked up and looked at the large chestnut trees that surrounded the vegetable garden...... Branches, thick and strong branches.

However, the chestnut tree has already begun to bloom, and it will bloom by the next month at the latest, and after flowering, in a few months, the tree will be full of golden tickets.

Can't cut it.

And if you cut it down at this time, it seems that the tree will hurt.

The firewood used for the fire in the kitchen is short, and it is not half planted in the river, and the snails can escape.

Bai Lu was racking her brains to find a way, and a small voice suddenly sounded beside her: "Wang Cuihua has bamboo at home."

"Two days before the Qingming Festival, I saw Brother Da Zhuang use a wooden cart to help her pull it back, there is a bamboo forest by the river, and there are a lot of dried bamboos in the bamboo forest, Wang Cuihua will go there to cut the dried bamboo and come back to light the fire." Xiao Wei 1510 explained.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock at the door.

As soon as the door was opened, it was Cao Cao.

Bai Lu and Xiao Wei were both stunned, what a coincidence!

"Bai Lu, Brother Xiao Cheng...... Is Big Brother Xiao Cheng at home? Wang Cuihua was covered in ashes, and there was a lot of black ash on her face, as if she had just crawled out of the stove hole.

Brother Xiao Cheng's title, when worshipping ancestors in the countryside, Wang Cuihua shouted once, and happened to be heard by the little girls, and complained in front of her for a long time.

vomited so much that she had to change back to Brother Xiao Cheng.

"What's wrong with you?" Bai Lu is full of concern for the safety of large bamboo households.

"The chimney seems to be broken."

Wang Cuihua looked aggrieved that she wanted to cry or not, pitiful: "I was going to boil water to wash my hair, but the roof suddenly rumbled, and a lot of chimney blocks fell......

When Bai Lu heard this, she saw that Wang Cuihua's lips were a little red and swollen, and she should have been burned by Mars.

A handful of bangs on the forehead were also burned into curly hair.
