Xiao Zhengping walked into the courtyard and was about to ask Xiao Xiuye what was going on, Xiao Xiuye suddenly jumped up, and cried while slapping Xiao Zhengping: "You know how to drink!" Just know how to drink! Drink to death, forget it! ”

As soon as he turned around, he went into the house and closed the door with his backhand.

Xiao Zhengping chased after him, but as soon as he opened the door, a book flew over, accompanied by Xiao Xiuye's frantic cry: "Don't come in!" I don't care about you! ”

In desperation, Xiao Zhengping had no choice but to quit and wait for the girl to dissipate before asking.

Lying on the bed board and waking up for a while, Xiao Zhengping got up and saw that it was not early, so he began to make dinner.

When dinner was ready and brought to Xiao Xiuye's room, Xiao Xiuye still refused to let him in.

After persuading for a long time to no avail, Xiao Zhengping had no choice but to leave the food at the door and let Xiuye come out to get it whenever he wanted to eat.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, and the second uncle, Xiao Kunshui, walked into the door with his hands behind his back.

"Your uncle asked me to send you money!" After seeing Xiao Zhengping, Xiao Kunshui took out four eggs wrapped in a handkerchief from behind him and handed them over.

Seeing the second uncle, Xiao Zhengping was like seeing a savior, quickly took the egg, and then pulled the second uncle to the door of the room.

"Second uncle, you're so good, hurry, help me go in and ask, what's wrong with Ye'er?"

The second uncle glanced at the bed board in the outer room and the wine bottle next to him, and asked with a frown, "What's wrong with Ye'er?" ”

"Oh, she didn't talk to me, she went to school for half a day today, and when I came back, I saw her crying and losing her temper."

While talking, Xiao Kunshui was pushed to the door by his nephew.

"Ye'er, I'm your second uncle, what's wrong?" Xiao Kunshui knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened from the inside, Xiao Xiuye stood at the door with swollen eyes, and after seeing Xiao Kunshui, she cried more and more sadly.

Xiao Kunshui was pulled into the house by Xiao Xiuye, crying and crying, Xiao Zhengping didn't dare to enter the door, and only heard a few words intermittently at the door:

"~~Teacher~~"

"~~Anyway, go to the supply and marketing cooperative~~"

"~~No need to take the high school entrance examination~~"

"~~No problem with graduation certificate~~"

"~~I can't go to school~~"

The two talked for almost half an hour, and finally the second uncle pulled the aggrieved Xiao Xiuye out of the door and asked Xiao Zhengping to heat the meal again.

Xiao Zhengping hurriedly picked up the dishes and chopsticks at the door, turned his head and saw the small half bottle of wine, "Okay, I'll go and light the fire." Second uncle, you can also eat some together, and I'll drink two glasses with you later. ”

From the words just now, Xiao Zhengping roughly understood what was going on, the second uncle said earlier that he was here to send money, and with money, Xiuye's matter would be solved.

After the meal was heated, Xiao Zhengping moved the broken chair as a table, and without a wine glass, he poured the wine into the bowl.

"Yo, and meat! Pingzi, you usually eat like this? Pulling Xiuye to sit down next to the chair, Xiao Kunshui's eyes were immediately attracted by the bowl of back pot meat.

"Second uncle, you saw it yesterday, I went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to sell some mushrooms, not thinking that Ye'er was studying but using her brain, so I cut some meat for her to make up."

"Well, you still have a little conscience to think that Ye'er is a kid, but you can't eat meat like this."

"Second uncle, don't worry, a little meat is nothing, in the future, I have to let Ye'er eat like this every day. Come, let's have a drink. ”

Xiao Kunshui shook his head, and was about to serve wine, when he saw the bandage on Xiao Zhengping's head.

"Your head~~"

Xiao Zhengping touched his head and said with a smile: "Drink less, don't get in the way!" After that, he took the wine bowl and touched it with the second uncle.

The second uncle, Xiao Kunshui, is the person who has entered this courtyard the most times in addition to Xiao Zhengping's fox friends and dog friends, usually eat something at home, and always try to bring a little bit here, this time Xiao Zhengping hurt his head, Xiao Kunshui also touched a few eggs from under his old hen's ass and sent them.

In fact, Xiao Kunshui's family background is not much stronger than Xiao Zhengping, the eldest uncle Xiao Kunguo's three daughters are all married, and the family only needs to manage their own children and their wives, and the two mouths can't cost much food.

Xiao Kunshui is different, four years ago, his son went to the house to change tiles, accidentally fell off and broke his leg, and since then he has been lying on the bed and becoming a waste, his daughter-in-law is affectionate and righteous, and he has never complained about the feces and urine, but this family lives together, and there is a grandson who is waiting to be fed, and life has been tight.

After taking a sip of wine, Xiao Zhengping looked at Xiao Xiuye who was hanging his head again, Xiuye didn't speak since she came out, and Xiao Zhengping handed her the dishes and chopsticks, but she didn't touch them.

"Ye'er," Xiao Zhengping took a piece of chopsticks and put it in her bowl, "You can understand what you want, brother, listen to my brother, go back to school tomorrow morning, and tell the teacher that you are still in school, and you still have to take the high school entrance examination." Don't think about anything during this time, concentrate on your studies, understand? ”

Xiao Xiuye was a little touched, and raised her eyes to look at her eldest brother, but her eyes were not grateful, but full of doubts.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhengping smiled bitterly and said: "Brother knows that you don't believe what you say now, you should give it a try, continue to read first, and then what to do, you look at my brother's performance." ”

Xiao Xiuye still didn't speak, but turned her eyes to the second uncle sitting opposite.

Xiao Kunshui was careful, and when he came out of his eldest brother's backyard, he felt that this nephew had changed slightly, and he couldn't tell what the changes were, anyway, he felt that the usual time when his nephew came to ask for money was different from today.

"Pingzi, if you really have this heart, you can live a good life, I will provide for Ye'er's high school with your uncle. But if you still ask Ye'er for money for three days and five heads, then Ye'er can't read it, in my opinion, just don't read it. ”

The second uncle's words were very tentative, Xiao Zhengping couldn't explain it, so he simply picked up the wine bowl and touched it with the second uncle again.

Xiao Zhengping did not continue this topic, and after persuading Xiuye to pick up the chopsticks, he asked the second uncle: "Second uncle, I went up to the back mountain yesterday to see so many mushrooms, why don't you and the uncle pick some and sell them?" ”

There are rural rules in rural areas, after the mountain forest land is divided, it will belong to its own family, and without permission, even a single piece of grass cannot be cut at other people's homes. When dividing the forest, in order to avoid those disputes, the elder brothers of the Xiao family got together with the mountains and forests of Xiao Zhengping's family, and the mountains and forests of the three families were almost forty acres.

"Where is that idle man," Xiao Kunshui took a sip of wine, "I'm too far away to chop wood!" Besides, don't dare to delay the tobacco leaves, if you go to pick mushrooms, who will give you flue-cured tobacco? ”

A year ago, although the county was in the limelight to encourage everyone to divide the land and mountains and forests, most of the people were still the people's commune.

Xiao Zhengping thought for a while, and then said: "Then since you don't want the mushrooms, I can pick them!" ”

"If you want to pick it, it's so far away from the back mountain, as long as you don't move other people's trees, no one can say anything if you just pick up the fungus."

Xiao Zhengping, the second uncle, understands that the back mountain is connected to the mountain, and crops cannot be grown, except for those who cut firewood and hunt, basically no one goes.
