Chapter 87 The cat is not so dumb
The young boy dressed as a scholar watched this scene quietly.
Someone behind laughed and said, "This is that family? This woman is still a practicing family!"
The boy hummed, and calmly lowered the curtains. The man leaned over, opened the curtains again, and squeezed a look: "Where's the little doll? Didn't come?"
The boy stepped back and gave him the window.
The man squeezed his entire face against the window: "I really haven't come. Xiaojue, is it because of that little doll that you decided to live here temporarily?"
"That's not the case," the young boy said sternly, "I just think it's a little smoother here."
"I'll just say it!" The man said with a smile: "With your temperament, how can you like little dolls? You're so noisy! But that doll is quite cute, just like a pussy, with round and big eyes. "
The little boy glanced at him: "It's not like a cat."
He turned his head, "Huh?"
The little boy retracted his hand into his sleeve, touched a chestnut in his sleeve pocket, and said flatly: "She's not like a cat, cats are not so dull."
The man was taken aback for a moment, and laughed out loud.
Another person yelled: "Shake Chu!"
He seemed to want to say something, but paused again, raised his hand and poured a cup of tea to the young man: "Then I'll ask someone to set up a house here."
The little boy lowered his eyes.
His complexion is extremely fair, and he has a sickly appearance, which makes his eyebrows and eyelashes black and black, as delicate as ink painting.
He said calmly: "There are many people in the city who are distracted, and I'm afraid there will be more troubles."
"Then?" The man tentatively said, "Why don't you go to the countryside? I'll ask someone to find out where this family lives, and buy a place near him?"
The boy didn't answer, so he continued with a smile: "It's just a rural place, I'm afraid the house won't be too good."
The boy said: "It's okay."
"Okay," he nodded, "Yao Chu, let's go."
Yuan Yao responded at the beginning, and went out, flicking his whip leisurely, and finally walked a few steps, suddenly heard a click, and the carriage swayed sharply to the left.
Yuan Yaochu turned over and jumped down as he was used to, and lifted the car board very familiarly, looked down, and breathed a sigh of relief: "The axle is broken, are you okay?"
The boy jumped out and said, "It's nothing."
Yuan Yao looked him up and down in surprise, then suddenly turned around and said, "Brother, what did Xiao Jue just say?"
Yuan Yao who jumped down then said, "What?"
Yuan Yaochu said: "Xiaojue will be smooth when he comes here!"
He freed one hand and pointed at him, "The car broke down, but Xiaojue was not injured again! No, we must live in this Longmen County!"
Yuan Yaogui looked at the axle, and nodded slowly: "I'll ask someone to go to Yutang Village to inquire about it."
And at this time.
Xinbao and his father and brother laughed and laughed all the way up the mountain.
Walking halfway, they saw Tang Shitou and his wife coming down with a big basket full of chestnut balls, walking directly opposite them.
Tang Shitou was a little embarrassed immediately, and immediately smiled: "Brother Qingshan, are you going up the mountain too?"
Tang Qingshan nodded.
Tang Shitou smiled and said: "Just yesterday we went up the mountain to look for Xinbao, and when we saw that chestnut tree, the children in the family were greedy and clamored to eat it, so I went up the mountain early to pick some, Xinbao, do you want to eat it?" A chestnut?"
He turned back to pick and pull.
Tang Qingshan said: "No need, Xinbaoer won't eat, you are busy."
Seeing him walking away, Tang Shitou took a sip: "The things in the mountains don't belong to his family! Who are you going to show me with such a stinking face!"
His daughter-in-law gave him a white look: "Don't make yourself angry, brother Qingshan is like this every day, just this temper. He has a lot of money, but he still cares about a chestnut? But you, what are you doing with the child? Juanzi is thinking about his family. Lang, it's not like you don't know!"
Tang Shitou frowned straightly: "It's useless to miss a person with a surname! It's a shame!"
"Haven't you heard about Jingui Village?" Shitou's daughter-in-law said, "It's also the same surname, but the patriarch disagreed, and later they hooked up with each other, asked his aunt to adopt the child, and married, and now the child All born..."
While talking, the couple carried the basket down with difficulty.
Tang Qingshan really didn't care.
Even the third brother doesn't care, whoever grabs the things in the mountains counts, and they didn't plant them, so can they dominate?
The third elder brother comforted Xinbao: "Don't worry, the boss is a tree. If you can't pick it clean, I will definitely pick enough for Xinbao to eat."
Xinbao nodded.
The three arrived under the tree in a short while.
At this moment, the shallow basket that Xinbao was sitting in was still thrown under the tree, and no one picked it up. Tang Qingshan went over to pick it up, and the third brother straightened his clothes, and went up the tree in a few swishes.
Tang Qingshan pushed his daughter's small head and withdrew: "Stand farther away, it hurts when you hit it."
Xinbao was held down by his father's big hand, and he turned his head with difficulty, looked at his brother, and suddenly said: "Wait!"
Tang Qingshan paused, Xinbao took the basket from him, ran over, and handed it over on tiptoe: "Yes, cover your head, it hurts!"
The third brother and everyone climbed up, laughing and going to climb down again.
Tang Qingshan walked a few steps over, took the basket and handed it over, Xinbao looked up at it with a small face, and compared his little hands to his head, for fear that he would not be able to use them.
The third brother laughed, and hung the basket on his head like a bamboo hood, and said with a smile: "Okay!"
Xinbao felt relieved, reached out to reach Daddy's hand, and moved away with his short legs.
Seeing that they had run far enough, the third brother yelled with a smile, and shook suddenly on the tree.
He climbed very high, most of the trees swayed with him, and the chestnut **** fell down, which was a bit spectacular to watch.
After shaking for half a quarter of an hour, Tang Qingshan said: "It's almost there."
The third brother swayed for a long time before he climbed down. He was still quite high off the ground, so he jumped straight down.
Tang Qingshan took his daughter to pick chestnuts.
Generally, the chestnuts that can be shaken off are all cooked. There are one or two chestnuts in a chestnut ball. It hurts to pierce someone, even an adult's hand can pierce without any calluses.
So Tang Qingshan first picked up a chestnut ball, let the girl feel it modestly, and said: "Prick or not? Xinbao can't be picked with hands. Dad and brother pick it up. Xinbao helps put it into the basket. Be careful not to step on it." Yes, even if you step on it, it hurts your feet."
Xinbao curled up her little hands and nodded obediently: "Oh."
So Tang Qingshan and the third brother began to pick. They didn't use their hands, they just stepped on it with their feet, and the prickly ball broke, and then they rubbed it again, and the chestnuts came out. It looked very simple.
Xinbao tried to step on it, but the first two times were nothing, so she tried harder... The prickly ball punctured her little embroidered shoe, and the sole of her foot hurt, probably it was punctured.
Xinbao withdrew her little feet at that time, took a peek at her father, saw that he didn't see it, pretended nothing happened, carefully avoided Qiuqiu, and followed behind her father.
The two are very fast, with two feet on one foot, and never use the third foot.
The third brother also sighed: "Tell me, this chestnut has a layer of prickly skin, another layer of hard skin, and another layer of fur...Three layers of skin! People can still know that it can be eaten inside! This is the first person who eats chestnuts." , how hungry are you?"
Tang Qingshan said: "When there is a famine, I eat grass roots, bark, and Avalokitesvara soil, and I can find anything that can be eaten."
"That's right," the third brother dropped the topic: "Xin Baoer, what do you want to eat with these chestnuts?"
Xinbao said: "Cook and eat."
"Okay," said the third brother: "These are enough to eat two or three times, first... ah!"
He jumped out several steps away at once.
