Chapter 29: If my brother doesn't make money, he won't have meat to eat
When he returned to the door of his house and pushed open the courtyard door, Xu An saw two bulging buns.
The two little guys not only didn't welcome Xu An when they saw him come in, but also glared at him, and then played with the pile of sand on the ground aggrievedly.
What's going on?
Xu An thought about it for a while, he didn't force the two of them to write and learn today, and he didn't let them drink the milk they hated, why did he suddenly get angry.
Xu An put the iron pot in the corner and walked over to squat next to the two little guys.
"Can you tell my brother why you're angry?"
The two turned around in unison, leaving only Xu An with a small, fleshy back.
"If you don't tell your brother, then my brother won't know why you're angry."
The two little heads came together and whispered something that Xu An could hear.
"Do you want to tell my brother?"
"I don't want to talk to my brother."
"But my brother is so stupid, he won't know what he doesn't tell him."
"Ah, are we going to tell my brother?"
After the two muttered, they reached an agreement, and the little head finally turned to look at Xu An,
"Brother, you haven't played with us for a long time, and you don't take us to the stall in the morning, so we can only play by ourselves."
The two of them were aggrieved as they talked, and their little faces became wrinkled, like meat buns.
Xu An thought back on the past half a month, and indeed started to work before dawn every morning.
Even if you come back from the stall, you still have a lot of things to do inside and outside the house.
The vegetables in the vegetable garden need to be watered and fertilized, weeded, and they need to be built to climb the vines;
The yard at home is still muddy, and it is impossible to walk when it rains, which needs to be leveled;
Kitchen waste, pots and pans in the kitchen need to be cleaned and dried;
You also have to consider the price of vegetables now, think about what to cook tomorrow's dishes, and how to control the cost to the minimum.
All of the above things are busy, and all that seems to be left for Xu Kang and Xu Le is to let them study and the short chat time before going to bed.
Thinking of this, Xu Anxin felt a little guilty.
Isn't it to keep them by your side, to accompany them more, and to take care of them more.
As a result, he is now busy working all day long, completely ignoring these two little guys.
Xu An put his arms around the little shoulders of the two of them, and said in a consultative tone: "From then on, my brother will take one day out every week to play with you, okay." ”
"How many days a week is there?"
"Seven days."
"Seven days, one, two, three, four, five...... so many days, I can't count them on one hand."
"Brother, can you play with us for one day, two or three, three days."
"If you play for one day every three days, my brother won't be able to make money, and if you can't make money, you won't be able to buy meat, and if you can't buy meat, you won't have meat to eat."
Meaty!
The eyes of the two lit up, and then they fell into the entanglement of whether to go out to play or eat meat.
In the end, I made a very difficult decision between the two, and sighed as an adult.
"Okay, brother, work hard to make us eat meat."
The child's forgetfulness is great, and he looked sad just now, but he was excited in the next second.
"Brother, where are we going to play today?"
Well, where to play, Xu An's eyes swept over every object in the yard, and finally landed on the pyre next to the kitchen.
After half a month of hard work, this pyre, which is more than one person high, is now only the height of the calf.
I remember that there was an idle homestead next to Uncle Guosheng's house, which was overgrown with wild grass that was very suitable for firewood.
A little further afield, there is a bamboo forest, and you can collect some bamboo leaves and dried bamboo.
"Is it okay to go to the bamboo forest next to Uncle Guosheng?"
"Good!" The two just wanted to hang out, but didn't care about going there.
Xu An asked the two to change into a set of dirt-resistant clothes, he put the iron pot in the kitchen, picked up a sickle and pinned it to his waist, found two hemp ropes and put them in his pocket, rolled up a fertilizer bag and held it in his hand.
Xu An got ready and walked to the door of the bedroom to see how the two of them had changed their clothes.
As a result, when I saw Xu Le holding his pants and putting them on his head, he found that he couldn't put them in, so he squeaked angrily and let out a series of cute and meaningless syllables.
Xu Kang was slightly better, his shirt was worn, but he wore the shirt backwards.
It is estimated that he felt uncomfortable being strangled by the collar, and his little hands kept pulling the collar and did not dare to let go.
The other hand held the pants with one hand, and the fleshy calf moved, and the little hand holding the pants also moved, and he couldn't put the pants on for a long time.
Two little fools.
Xu An walked into the bedroom with tears and laughter and sorted out the clothes for the two.
The vacant land of Uncle Guosheng's house was originally an old house, the owner of the house emigrated overseas for many years, and the house was uninhabited and the house aged quickly, and it completely collapsed after a typhoon.
Later, the family wanted to rebuild the house and leave roots for the children, so they cleared the land.
But then I don't know what happened, and after clearing it was done, there was no movement, and the land was idle and overgrown with weeds.
This weed can also be said to be a shrub, which grows straight and does not slip, with only one main trunk and no branches.
It is very easy to ignite after drying, and it is also very vigorous when burning, which is very suitable for firewood.
After taking the two to the path between the wasteland and the bamboo forest, Xu An told the two not to go to the river to play in the water, nor to run outside to play on the road, so the two went into the bamboo forest and played hide and seek.
Xu An picked up the sickle to harvest the weeds in the field, and as soon as the sickle went down, a large piece fell.
The process is actually quite decompressing, but it is more costly.
Just when Xu An was busy with his work, two pairs of fleshy and dirty little hands reached out in front of him, holding a few small purple and black fruits in their palms.
"Brother, eat the fruit."
If you look at it, it is nightshade fruit, which can be eaten.
Xu An was holding something in his hand, and it was inconvenient to take it to eat, so he opened his mouth wide and motioned for the two of them to throw it in.
After throwing these few fruits, the two seemed to be a little unsatisfied, and thought this little game was very fun, so they went around looking for ripe nightshade fruits.
Every time he found two or three, he came back and asked Xu An to open his mouth wide, and threw them into his mouth one by one.
Xu Kang is relatively honest, and all he found were ripe purple-black nightshade fruits, which tasted sweet and sour.
Xu Le had a bad stomach, and occasionally threw an unripe green nightshade fruit into Xu An's mouth, which was so sour that Xu An grinned, but she 'giggled' and ran away.
After playing for a while, the two didn't know if the nightshade fruit was picked by the two or they were tired of playing this game, and they didn't come to Xu An for a long time, and they didn't make a sound of playing.
The child is quiet, and he must be a demon.
Xu An straightened up and looked around for the two of them, and finally found them under the big hibiscus tree by the river.
The two little ones pluck a hibiscus flower, put the tail of the flower in their mouths, and suck it vigorously.
After sucking, he casually threw the hibiscus to the ground, and there were already the remains of a dozen hibiscus flowers on the ground.
"Xu Kang Xu Le!"
When the two heard Xu An's shout, they turned their heads and glanced at Xu An, but instead reached out and plucked a hibiscus flower, and ran towards Xu An.
"Brother eat, sweet!"
Xu An subconsciously sucked it, and there was nectar on the tail of the hibiscus flower, which was sweet and silky.
