Yang Xiaole looked at him and said, "Where is your hometown?" How come there are still people who go to the grave on the second day of the Lunar New Year? ”

Qu Ying glanced at him strangely: "Isn't your hometown from Mentougou?" ”

"Yes! What's wrong? ”

"My family is from Wei County, and it is only a few mountains away from Mentougou. We are in the second year of junior high school. ”

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole was surprised: "It's really going to the grave!" ”

"So what do you think?"

Yang Xiaole smiled when he heard this, he didn't dare to say it, he originally thought that she was angry with her uncle and said that she was going to her uncle's grave!

Then he said: "We are the easternmost part of Mentougou, and we are the westernmost side. More than 200 miles away! How do I know your customs? ”

To be honest, this is really the first time he's heard it.

It's not surprising, though.

The family lives in ten miles, and there is a rural style everywhere, and it is not too outrageous to have different customs from others.

Yang Xiaole thought of the fish that she had promised her before, so she smiled and took the other party's basket.

"What are you doing?"

Qu Ying was strange for a while.

Yang Xiaole ignored her, took out some fathead fish from the treasure bag one after another, and put them in his basket.

While putting it down, he said: "I promised to take you to catch fish before, didn't I come back a year ago!" I'm going to my master today and getting some. ”

Naturally, the fish could not be kept in the pond and were stored in the wooden house by him.

It just didn't move.

"Hey, how can I ask for this!!"

Seeing this, Qu Ying hurried over to pull the basket.

Yang Xiaole smiled, stuffed the basket almost enough, and then smiled: "Okay, I can still get this little thing, it's a big deal to get it again like last time I went to the river." ”

"That's different! It was made by the compound in partnership, how can this work! ”

"Okay, I'll give it to you, where is there so much nonsense!"

Yang Xiaole glanced at him angrily, then patted the car, and said with a smile: "Come on, I'll take you back!" ”

Seeing this, Qu Ying hesitated, but after thinking about it, she accepted it. Then sat directly in the back of the car.

But the mouth is saying: "Then I'll give you money later!" ”

Even if she gave money, she took advantage of it, after all, she was asking for tickets now.

Yang Xiaole ignored her and rode her to home.

As he walked along the road, he thought of something and asked her, "Oh, by the way, do you have an uncle?" ”

"Well, how do you know? What's wrong? ”

"Oh, it's okay, I'll just ask. Does he know about Qu Guohai? ”

Qu Ying sat in the back, shook her head slightly, worried that he wouldn't be able to see, and said, "I don't know, they were all doing business in T Jin at that time, and we couldn't contact them, and then we ...... My mother didn't have the face to contact them, and he didn't come back until Sijiu City was liberated and the situation here stabilized. ”

After a pause, he continued: "When they come back, the two families hardly interact with each other. This time Qu Guohai came back, and I didn't tell him. ”

"Oh!"

Yang Xiaole thought that Qu Ying had no relatives!

I didn't expect there to be relatives here.

It's just that I don't know why the two families don't contact, it's the uncle who feels embarrassed that his sister went to the kiln?

Or is Qu Ying faceless and resentful of her uncle?

The specifics are not very clear.

I didn't ask too much, and people were embarrassed to ask too much.

I rode straight back.

Back home, it was still early.

Yang Xiaole talked about wheat and Xiaoli.

Wang Qiuju nodded after thinking about it: "Yes!" If you don't say that I have forgotten, the two of them apprenticed, according to etiquette, this is the New Year, and they have to go over to pay New Year's greetings, otherwise this is not like words. ”

Not to mention this, many apprentices in the factory now have to go to their master's house for the Chinese New Year!

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole looked at the time, and it was still too late.

And he said; "Well, you will go to work tomorrow, and I will take them over now and let them give them gifts, and as for whether they have lunch or not, I will not care, and let them come back by car without lunch. Okay, right? ”

"Okay, you arrange, don't let people think we're rude."

Yang Xiaole nodded and hurriedly went to prepare things.

It doesn't need to be exaggerated, just add a little on top of the normal etiquette in the city.

After packing up his things, he rode the car and led the two people outside.

The two little ones were huddled in the back of the car, Xiaoli sat in the middle, and Wheat was holding on to his clothes tightly.

Riding the car, Mai thought of something, and asked him, "Brother, do you want to kowtow when I go in a while?" ”

"Hehe, don't ask me, how do I know! Didn't you kowtow the first time you went! Let's knock this time! ”

The older generation of people learn art, after all, unlike others.

There should still be a number of courtesies.

Wheat let out a soft sigh when he heard this.

This brought Xiaoli's doubts: "Brother, what about me!" ”

"You! Forget it. ”

After all, Su Ling doesn't mainly teach her now, she learned it all in the Children's Palace.

And I didn't kowtow at the time, and it's not appropriate to kowtow now.

"Well, good!"

Xiaoli smiled and agreed.

The car soon arrived at Su Ling's doorstep.

"Aunt Sue!!"

When she came to the door, Xiaoli went directly to knock on the door.

After a while, I saw Hua Yourong open the door with a smile: "Xiaole, you are here!" Come on in! ”

Yang Xiaole took the things off the car, carried the things and led the two of them in.

At this time, Su Ling was sitting on the sofa in the hall.

Seeing the three of them coming, he stood up with a smile: "Xiaole is here, Xiaoli, wheat ......"

"Auntie, Happy New Year! I brought Xiaoli over to greet you for the New Year. ”

"Hey, Happy New Year, sit! Eat peanuts. ”

Su Ling smiled and began to greet a few people, and then asked Hua Yourong to make coffee for a few people.

Looking at Yang Xiaole, she sighed helplessly: "What? Are you angry with your aunt? Every time, Xiaoli comes by herself, and you don't come to play. ”

In her opinion, it was still that time her brother came over, and what he said was heard by the other party.

When Yang Xiaole heard this, he said helplessly: "Auntie, you really think too much, think about it, have I been here a lot before?" Didn't you? It's just that Xiaoli comes over almost every week now, so you don't think I come much, right? Sometimes I don't come with Xiaoli! ”

It's true.

Before Xiaoli came to learn, he didn't come every day, and he only came over because of something.

Basically, I didn't come here to play.

The main reason is that Xiaoli often comes over, and this comparison makes me feel that I don't come here often.

He was unhappy with Su Hao, but he had no opinion on Su Ling.

Hearing this, Su Ling smiled: "That's good, I'm afraid you have any opinions about Auntie!" ”

"That won't be!"

Yang Xiaole was polite, and then asked with a smile, "Auntie, how is your health?" Did you go to the hospital for a check-up? ”

It's been a year and a half since I gave each other fish for the first time.

In the middle, he also sent it a few times under the pretense of having the old prescription's medicine.

"Well, I've had a few rechecks, and the doctor said it's okay." Su Ling smiled and sighed, "Thanks to you, you saved me last time, and you also found me an old recipe to cure my illness later." ”

"What's this!! It's also a coincidence. ”

Yang Xiaole smiled, looked at Hua Yourong coming over to deliver coffee, and took it with a smile: "Thank you." ”

Hua Yourong pursed his lips and smiled: "You're welcome!" ”

Then he sat next to him, holding his chin with one hand and looking at him like this.

Seeing her expression, Yang Xiaole wondered for a while: "Why are you looking at me like this?" Do you have flowers on your face? I woke up in the morning and washed my face! ”

laughed, and pretended to wipe his face.

Hua Yourong smiled and shook his head: "You taste it, how does it taste?" ”

With hope in his eyes.

At this time, Xiaoli and Mai were drinking there, and after coming so many times, both of them would drink coffee.

It's a rarity!

Yang Xiaole tasted it suspiciously.

Then the action stopped.

Then he ignored it, took another big sip with a calm face, and placed the cup on the table.

smiled at Su Ling and said, "Auntie, didn't you leave your relatives during the New Year?" ”

It's all here, you can't just leave right away, you have to sit there and chat for a while.

Su Ling shook her head: "Tiantian and his uncle are in their hometown, it's too far away, we usually only go back to visit once every few years, her grandfather and uncle have just arrived, and now there are no relatives ......to leave."

Yang Xiaole bowed his head slightly, and the two chatted casually.

The main thing is to focus on Xiaoli's body.

It can be seen that Su Ling is very satisfied with Xiaoli and feels that she is very talented.

Yang Xiaole didn't know if he drank well water, and his intelligence and body were malleable.

Hua Yourong stared at him for a while, and when he saw that he was almost finished, he asked, "Don't you want to put more sugar and milk?" Why didn't you react at all? ”

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole smiled and said blankly: "It's okay!" ”

Su Ling, who was next to her, was puzzled when she saw this: "What's wrong?" ”

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole said: "Oh, it's nothing, I just didn't add sugar and milk to me!" ”

It's not that he hasn't drunk black coffee, it's just a little unpleasant, so he won't exaggerate it after taking a sip.

That's what kids do.

Seeing this, Su Ling glared at her daughter angrily: "There are no rules, people who are older than the New Year come to the door, you are like this!" How to teach you usually! ”

Hua Yourong pouted: "I'll just joke with him!" No one told him to come and play with me! ”

Then he changed the coffee that didn't move in front of him: "Here, this one is sweetened and milked." ”

Yang Xiaole smiled indifferently: "It's okay, drink the same!" ”

Su Ling looked at her daughter who stuck out her tongue and was also helpless.

Because Yang Xiaole doesn't come often, this girl complains a lot, and she just happened to make fun of it when she met it today.

But she could still feel it, and her daughter probably didn't understand what was going on.

Then he shook off his thoughts and smiled: "Eat here at noon, I'll cook, and you guys will play for a while." ”

Hearing her mention eating, Yang Xiaole just happened to say through the words; "Auntie, we're not here, I still have to take wheat to her master's place, everyone is going to work tomorrow, and people don't necessarily have time."

"This ...... I didn't eat when I came here!! ”

Seeing his expression, Hua Yourong pouted, and then said, "Then let Xiaoli stay!" ”

Su Ling knew that Xiaole had something, and she didn't keep it: "Then let Xiaoli stay here for lunch, you go and get busy with yours!" ”

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole naturally agreed.

This is also his original intention.

Then he nodded: "That's okay, Xiaoli is here, play with my sister, I'll take the wheat out for a while!" ”

Xiaoli naturally agreed.

Before leaving, Hua Yourong was a little embarrassed: "I just made a joke, don't be angry!" ”

"It's fine!"

Where would he be angry!

It's just a kid's play.

Then he said hello and left with wheat, but when he left, Su Ling still gave one person a dollar of New Year's money.

Yang Xiaole was not polite and accepted it.

Chinese New Year! Festive.

Riding a bicycle to Ruan Yu's house.

He didn't go in this time, mainly because Ruan Yu had a strange temperament and didn't like to see outsiders very much.

Now, in addition to being invited to perform, I usually don't interact with people very often.

Take the things and let the wheat in.

Tell her that if she doesn't leave her to eat, she will take the bus back by herself.

Seeing the other party go back, he left.

I was going to go back, but after thinking about it, I went to Qiao Yan's side.

Years ago.

I rode over.

When I came to the place, I opened the door with my things, and there were some winter rapes in the yard.

Before he could call someone, he saw Qiao Yan come out in a hurry.

Yang Xiaole was surprised for a while: "What's wrong?" Something? ”

Qiao Yan hurriedly shook her head, pursed her lips and asked, "No, it's okay!" You...... Did something go a year ago? I didn't come over~"

"Well, something went out a year ago, and I just came back on New Year's Day."

As he spoke, he walked inside.

When he came to the hall, he put something on the table and said, "I brought you something." ”

Then he walked towards the house.

Qiao Yan nodded and hurriedly ran towards the house.

Yang Xiaole was puzzled for a moment.

Is there anyone in the house?

Curious, I followed in, and when I saw her there sorting things out in a panic, I was surprised.

I saw that there were cardboard boxes piled up everywhere in the house.

At this time, Qiao Yan was sorting out the things on the kang.

After collecting a piece of space, she hurriedly said: "Sit on the kang, it's not cold here!" ”

Yang Xiaole looked at the paper boxes in the room, and the paste that was pasting the paper boxes next to him, and frowned slightly.

"This is the New Year, why are you still pasting cardboard boxes? Running out of money? ”

Qiao Yan bit her lip and hurriedly shook her head: "No, I have money, even if I am alone at home, I don't have anything to do, so I just want to paste some cardboard boxes and make some money." ”

Yang Xiaole bowed slightly.

Indeed, Qiao Yan doesn't have any relatives here, and she doesn't seem to have anything to do.

looked at her, still the clothes he gave last year, and frowned: "It's the New Year, don't you know to change into a new dress?" ”

It is true that there are not many cloth tickets issued now.

It's impossible to change your outfit all year round, but it's barely possible to make a new outfit.

Qiao Yan was puzzled for a moment, looked at herself as a dress, and said blankly: "Isn't this dress good?" That's good! ”

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole nodded lightly: "By the way, Dalong, have they ever looked for me in a hurry?" ”

"I've been looking for you a few times, but I didn't come when I saw that you weren't there, and I didn't say that I was looking for you in a hurry!!"

Yang Xiaole snorted when he heard this, looking at her a little nervous, strange for a while, turning on the scanning function, and not seeing anyone else!

I don't understand what's wrong with her.

looked at the other party, and said in a relaxed tone: "Okay, don't be so busy during the holidays in the future, I don't want your money, keep it for myself, and use the ticket and the like yourself, do you hear?" ”

When Qiao Yan heard this, she pursed her lips and smiled, and nodded vigorously: "Well, good!" ”

After speaking, I felt that I was a little hungry alone, and hurriedly said, "Are you hungry, I'll cook." Let's eat here! ”

Yang Xiaole shook his head: "Don't eat here, I'll go back to eat later." Pay attention to your body and don't burn yourself down. ”

Seeing that he was not eating here, Qiao Yan was a little disappointed.

But these are just buried in my heart, and then I hurriedly went to the wardrobe and took out a sweater.

Some carefully handed it to him: "I knit it myself, you can take it and wear it!" ”

Yang Xiaole took a look, took the thing, and touched it, this needlework is different, much better than what Qu Ying gave him.

Then he asked suspiciously, "Where did you get so much wool?" ”

The amount of wool is enough for one-third of the amount per person.

Otherwise, there will be no situation where there are many people in the family, and the eldest wears the second one, which is also quantitative.

Qiao Yan smiled when she saw this: "I exchanged other tickets for it!" ”

Yang Xiaole was speechless for a while, and wanted to say a few words, but looking at her hopeful eyes, she finally gave up.

"Thank you!!"

He said thank you and put his things away.

Seeing him accept it, Qiao Yan smiled happily there.

Yang Xiaole took the things and was about to leave, came to the hall, and asked her, "You keep this thing for yourself, don't take it to change things, do you hear?" ”

Qiao Yan nodded frequently there: "Well, I know, don't change it." ”

Looking at the rape in the yard, he asked, "Do you want to get some vegetables back?" ”

"I can get it! You're ready to eat yourself! ”

He didn't lack vegetables, so he ordered it, and after picking it, there was nothing to eat from the other party.

Qiao Yan was not reluctant, and sent the other party to the door of the backyard, until he had already left on a bicycle, then closed the door and went back to continue pasting the cardboard box.

When Yang Xiaole rode home, it was not early.

Daddy had already returned by this time.

Yang Xiaole took off his hat, roasted the fire by the fire, and asked him, "Dad, how did you go today?" Didn't quarrel, did you? ”

"What's the quarrel for the New Year?"

Yang Guangzhi said angrily, and then asked curiously: "By the way, what are you doing, why is Yang Guangping so good to you?"

"What's wrong?"

Yang Xiaole roasted the fire, strange for a while.

I didn't save so many sweet potatoes this year, and I roasted and ate them without sweet potatoes.

I was able to bake it with a fire.

"I have to bring you something, a bottle of canned meat, a bottle of canned oranges, and half a pound of Cuban sugar."

When Yang Xiaole heard this, he shrugged, "You ask me, how do I know!" Is it that the conscience has found out and found that what was done wrong before? ”

Yang Guangzhi glanced at him suspiciously.

There must be something in this that he didn't know.

It's just that this kid won't say it.

Could it be that Xiaole got food for their family?

Looking at his expression, Yang Xiaole diverted the topic and asked, "By the way, Dad, what did you bring to your aunt's family?" ”

Daddy got up early in the morning and ran away as soon as it was dawn.

I don't know if I brought anything with me.

As soon as these words came out, Wang Qiuju, who was serving the food next to him, said with a smile: "What do you say!" Sneak food for your aunt. ”

Then he said without curiosity: "I don't give the same, I usually sneak around, and my family has less than forty or fifty catties of food a month, you don't know it!" ”

Yang Guangzhi smiled there when he heard this.

Yang Xiaole also smiled when he saw this, except for the food that he bought in rations, the rest of the food at home was provided by him, and he probably knew how much food his family could consume every day.

Every now and then there would be a lot of food on one day of the month, and he naturally knew where it went.

Although the old lady does not cook, she is very careful about food in the current food crisis in the market.

Every now and then, I will see how much food is left.

I'm afraid that the rice tank will bottom out.

It's just a small thing, and everyone should have fun.

After all, Yang Guangzhi is in charge, even if others are dissatisfied, it doesn't matter if they say it, Wang Qiuju seems to be quite able to speak, but in fact, he still can't be a family.

What's more, there is no shortage of food at home.

However, Yang Guangzhihu was suspicious: "No, I take about twenty catties every month." Where did I take so much! Don't rely on me! ”

"At the beginning, it was almost that, and then it was a lot less."

Wang Qiuju glared at him angrily.

didn't say that he wouldn't let him give it, anyway, Xiaole at home would get it, although it was useless to say it many times, there would be more food at home from time to time, except for Yang Xiaole.

It's been a long time, so I'm too lazy to say it.

Yang Guangzhi muttered dissatisfiedly: "Anyway, I've always taken so much." ”

Wang Qiuju didn't bother to argue when she saw this.

I also wondered if I had misestimated, after all, I didn't weigh it, I just estimated it by feeling.

Everyone else laughed and didn't care.

But after Yang Xiaole listened, he was suspicious.

How much does the old lady value food?

If the disparity is not big, she is almost wrong, but the disparity is so big, it is unlikely that she will miscalculate.

He looked at the eldest brother suspiciously.

It is suspected that the eldest brother sent food to Ding Ruolan.

But looking at the calm gaze of the eldest brother, it doesn't feel like it!

Ding Ruolan They lack eggs and meat, this is possible, but food is unlikely, after all, they are cadres, and there may not be more food, but it is unlikely that they can eat food substitutes.

Eldest sister?

Because Jiang Yan's family is also more bitter, give it to Jiang Yan?

It doesn't look like it.

When he looked at Kiko, who was a little dodgy.

Suddenly slapped his head, it's over, don't think about it, it must be this guy.

Don't think about it, it must be for him to give his brother.

Thinking of this, he quietly asked Wang Qiuju: "Mother, when did the food start to be much less?" ”

"Oh, these two months, what's wrong?"

Wang Qiuju asked strangely.

"Oh, nothing!!"

Yang Xiaole shook his head.

If it is because Kiko gave each other food, and several people worship their brothers, then how to treat them in the future remains to be discussed.

Now it seems that it is not, after all, Kiko has been a brother for a while.

But I still have to talk to him about this matter.

At least that's something to talk about.

Then the family ate there.

After eating, Yang Xiaole returned to the house and pulled Xizi over.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Yang Xiaole pulled him over, looked outside, and then asked, "Did you take food from home?" ”

After speaking, he pointed to his nose and said, "You dare to lie and try!" If you take it, you take it, and if you don't take it, you don't take it! ”

Seeing this, Kiko struggled for a while, and finally nodded: "Well, take it!" ”

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole directly gave him a brain crash: "You're bold!" Do you know how tight the food is out now, and you don't tell people about the things you take at home? What if there is not enough food at home? Do you want to starve your family to death? ”

After speaking, he looked at Kiko who bowed his head and asked, "Did you give you that brother?" ”

"Hmm!"

Kiko nodded writhingly.

Seeing his appearance, Yang Xiaole shook his head speechlessly, pointed at him and said, "Forget it this time, this is the first time, if there is a second time, you see how I clean you up!" ”

Then he asked him, "How many times have you taken it, how many have you taken?" What did they take. Also, how do they explain the grain? ”

Xizi was entangled for a moment when she heard this, but she still said, "I took it twice!" I don't know how much, that scoop dug four or five scoops. ”

Yang Xiaole calculated in his heart, if the water scoop was full, it would be about three catties, that is, about twelve or thirteen catties to seventeen or eighteen catties.

Now the accounts are aligned.

In a moment's thought, I heard Kiko continue: "Let's just say that I went to the black market to buy it!" Four cents a pound. ”

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole was surprised, looked him up and down and asked, "What about the money?" ”

Kiko smiled awkwardly when she saw this.

"In my hands!"

Then he hurriedly said: "We didn't spend it indiscriminately!" It's all in my hands! It cost three bucks. ”

After that, I went to the school bag.

Yang Xiaole was speechless when he heard it!

Feelings are in his wool!

Shaking his head, he watched Xizi bring the money over, and directly dragged it over and counted it.

9 dollars 4 cents.

plus the three yuan spent, there are almost 32 catties of grain.

Took the money and knocked it on the other party's head, and handed it to him again.

Kiko was happy when she saw this.

I thought this matter would not be investigated!

However, Yang Xiaole's next words made him fall into an ice cellar; "Do you know how much a pound of black market food stamps cost now? The food stamps alone cost five or six cents, take the money, and go and explain it to your mother. ”

Years ago, the price was already at five cents, and now the price will only be higher.

"Huh?"

This frightened Kiko.

"Ahhhh If you don't go, if you don't go, I'll say it! If I had said, you'd have been beaten even more. ”

Hearing this, Kiko's face was entangled.

On last thought, I went out honestly.

After a while, there was the sound of Wang Qiuju scolding next door, as well as the sound of feather dusters beating people, and the sound of Xizi wailing.

Mix it up.

Yang Xiaole also knew that the old lady didn't beat him because of that bit of food.

But Kiko dares to do this, that is, stealing.

There is another reason, that is, there is such a shortage of food outside now, and it is easy to get into trouble with so much food.

"Mother, don't fight... Xiaobao's family..."

At the same time, accompanied by Kiko's wailing and justification.

Fortunately, Wang Qiuju pulled Xizi to the opposite bedroom.

Yang Xiaole also heard it.

The thing is for Song Xiaobao's family.

Song Xiaobao's family has four children, and his mother died a few years ago, leaving a family of five, and Song Xiaobao is the eldest instead.

That's why the scene of Kiko appeared.

Kiko was beaten and beaten, admitting that it was wrong for her to steal, but not admitting that it was wrong to help others.

Yang Xiaole was watching Zhile from the side.

Shouting, it's quite temperamental!

Beat and beat, and in Wang Qiuju's repeated warnings, Xizi decided not to do this thing again in the future.
