When Xu An found him, the two screamed and fled frantically in the yard in a panic, shouting while running: "Brother is here, brother is so scary." ”

Xu An scolded the two of them with a smile, and then went back to his room to find clean clothes.

High schools all wear uniforms, two sets of short-sleeved ones in summer and two sets of long-sleeved ones in winter. The shoes are a unified domestic old brand pullback, with two models: blue edge on white background or red edge on white background.

After rummaging through the large wooden box at the head of the bed, I found only four sets of school uniforms, two sets of summer clothes and two sets of winter clothes, a large black cotton jacket worn in winter, two sweaters and two sets of autumn clothes and pants, and three underwear, and nothing else.

No wonder I have the impression that I have been wearing this set of clothes during the summer vacation, and my feeling is that there are no other daily clothes except this set of clothes.

The quality of the school uniform is quite good, and it has been changed and washed for three years, in addition to looking a little old, it has not been deformed and has not faded and dyed, and it looks like it can fight for another three or four years.

After changing his clothes, Xu An took out twenty-one and five cents from the fifty-one and five cents and put them in his pocket, and the remaining thirty pieces were pressed under the wooden box.

I glanced at the alarm clock, it was almost eleven o'clock, and the market usually closed around nine o'clock, and now I definitely couldn't buy anything in the past, so I still went to the butcher's house in the west of the village to see if I could buy any leftover meat to weigh a little.

After locking the courtyard door and telling the two not to open the door until they returned, Xu An walked to the west of the village with confidence.

The butcher's name is Xu Guosheng, and every day he kills a pig from the pig farm in the town and buys it at the market, and the leftover meat bought at the market will be taken home and sold to the villagers at a cheaper price.

After walking for more than five minutes, Xu An walked to the courtyard of Xu Guosheng's house, and heard Xu Guosheng's daughter-in-law gossip in a loud voice.

"We didn't look at it when we came back from the market this morning, I heard that Xu An jumped into the river in the morning, and when he caught it, he was still bloody, which was scary."

"There's no shadow of this, don't be foolish, why did you jump into the river for no reason. I guess I wanted to catch fish in the river and accidentally drowned. ”

"Why did you get bloody?"

"I know that, didn't I look at it?"

Xu An touched his nose a little embarrassed, and the object of the two gossip seemed to be himself.

It is estimated that this matter will be a topic of conversation for everyone in the village for a period of time in the future, so just get used to it.

Xu An increased his strength and walked a few steps, made some movement, pushed open the courtyard door of Xu Guosheng's house, and greeted the two of them as if he had just arrived: "Uncle Guosheng, auntie, is there any leftover meat sold in the market today?" ”

Speaking of Xu An's gossip, Xu An appeared in the courtyard and startled the two, obviously seeing that the fat on the two jumped when they saw Xu An.

Xu Guosheng's wife reacted quickly, turned her head and walked into the room, and said as she walked: "There are some lean meat and bones left, how much do you want?" ”

In 2012, the price of meat was relatively cheap, with pork for ten yuan a pound and big bones for seven yuan a pound.

I want to stew a bone broth for my grandmother and stir-fry two meat dishes. But there is no refrigerator at home, so you need a little less meat, enough to eat two meals.

"I want a pound of bones, half a pound of meat, it's troublesome aunt."

"What's the trouble, I'll give you the rest of the rest, just give me a total of fifteen yuan."

Saying that, Xu Guosheng's daughter-in-law handed a bulging red plastic bag to Xu An, and then pulled fifteen yuan from his hand to push him out of the courtyard and close the courtyard door.

Xu An checked the bag in his hand, it weighed at least three and a half pounds, and the aunt was afraid that she wouldn't close the courtyard door.

Although he was very moved, Xu An was not a person who liked to take advantage of people, so he counted out five yuan and stuffed it through the crack in the courtyard door, and said loudly: "Auntie, I stuffed the rest of the money in the crack of the door, you remember to take it away and don't be blown away by the wind." ”

The door was pushed open with a bang, and Xu Guosheng's daughter-in-law only saw Xu An's back running away.

Picked up five pieces of one dollar from the ground, closed the courtyard door, and couldn't help muttering: "Why don't you give five more yuan, keep an account for him, and collect five yuan less next time." ”

Xu Guosheng walked into the kitchen and wailed: "Daughter-in-law, I have the big bones of stewed soup, and you sell them all?" ”

Xu Guosheng's daughter-in-law glanced at him, and said angrily: "Eat less to lose weight, look at your fat body, take a step and shake it three times, you are embarrassed to eat." ”

"If you don't eat it, you won't eat it, why are you so fierce." Xu Guosheng turned around and muttered in a low voice: "They are all the same figures, why do you just talk about me." ”

There was no one on the road when I came over, but when I went back, I met a lot of familiar people.

Everyone said hello first when they saw Xu An, and then began to whisper after turning around.

Xu An said about this, if you want to talk about my gossip, wait for me to go a little farther, I can hear it!

As soon as they walked to the courtyard gate, they saw two small heads from the gap, looking out of the door, and after confirming that the person who came was my brother, the two opened the courtyard door together, ran to Xu An's side with cheers, and began to chatter.

"Brother, we've been behind the door and haven't opened the door!"

"Brother, what are you holding?"

"Brother, is this meat, is this the meat of a pig?"

"Brother,......

“......”

Xu An, who was a little buzzing in his brain, squatted down and picked up the two of them one by one.

After the two exclaimed, they hugged Xu An's head tightly and covered his eyes tightly.

"Xiaokang Xiaole, you guys are holding it too tightly, my brother can't see the road anymore, and he's about to fall."

"Don't fall, don't fall, it hurts to fall."

The little hands holding their heads moved down, one hugged Xu An's mouth, and the other strangled Xu An's neck.

Okay, at least you can see the way.

"Malaysia Hurry Up~"

"Hold on, the horse is about to start walking!"

Xu An deliberately shook his body, causing the two of them to squeak and scream.

Carrying the two of them around the yard before putting them down, he opened the plastic bag to show them the pork inside.

"This is pork meat, which will turn into a super delicious patty in a while, and a super super super delicious fried meat.

This is the big bone of the pig, which is to be stewed for grandma to drink, and grandma can get off the bed and play with Xiaokang Xiaole after drinking the soup stewed with pork bones. ”

In Xu An's description, the two villains looked at the meat, and a drop of crystal clear saliva overflowed from the corner of their mouths.

"Hey, two little gluttonous cats, they're actually drooling."

Being ridiculed by Xu An like this, the two of them became angry, reached out to wipe the saliva from their mouths, pointed at Xu An and shouted: "Brother is a gluttonous cat, a gluttonous cat!" ”

Grandma Xu, who had been lying on her side, listened to the movement of the three brothers and sisters playing outside, and suddenly turned over, with a smile on her face.

No matter how difficult the days are, as long as we work together, we will slowly get better.
