Arriving at the ancient tree-lined and well-arranged original ecological small mountain village, there is not only the quietness surrounded by smoke, but also the tranquility isolated from the world, and the three of them couldn't help being shocked.Hu Tianshu, who carried nearly a hundred catties of things and walked tens of miles of mountain roads, even arrived before anyone arrived, and yelled out of his dantian angrily from a distance.

Then, fluttering, startled the forest birds returning to their nests on the towering trees.Then, there was a sound of chickens crowing and dogs barking from people in the mountains near and far.It can be seen that Hu Tianshu's voice completely broke the tranquility of the small mountain village.

When Hu Tianshu saw the movement, he also realized that his voice was a little loud just now, so he shrank his neck and hurriedly led the two of them to the courtyard closest to the foot of the mountain.You know, most of the dogs in the mountains are hounds, the ones who dare to fight wild wolves.If this one was accidentally bitten, Hu Tianshu couldn't help but gasp just thinking about it.

When the three of them came to the small courtyard with a high courtyard wall surrounded by gravel, through the crack of the thick pine door, two pairs of big black eyes were carefully looking at the three of them.

Elder sister Yingzi and younger brother Xiaoying heard Uncle Hu's loud voice just now, but both siblings remembered what their father and grandfather told them before they entered the mountain, not to open the door casually.So, the siblings watched eagerly from behind the crack of the door, and when they realized that the leader was really Uncle Hu who often came to the house, they hurriedly tiptoed to get the wooden rail stuck at the door. [

However, the siblings are small and weak, coupled with their impatience, they tiptoed for several times but failed to move away.

Hu Tianshu, on the other hand, was outside the yard, casually instructing the siblings behind the door not to worry, and at the same time popularized the common sense in the mountains with his sister-in-law.Who made the curiosity in Ya'er's eyes too obvious, a small mountain village with twenty or thirty families sparsely looked like the small courtyard in front of me from a distance, surrounded by a high bluestone wall.

"Sister-in-law, Mencius's place is different from mine. Most of the people here are half-farming and half-hunting, and they are typical people who rely on mountains to eat mountains. This is also the edge of the old forest, and there are many wild animals. The courtyard is surrounded by high walls, so if the wild wolves enter the courtyard and take the baby away from the family, they will not be able to find it even if they cry..."

Hu Tianshu hadn't finished spreading the word, the siblings behind the door finally moved away from the gate, and then flew out of the yard with a small cannon and plunged into Hu Tianshu's arms, "Master Hu!"

Four or five years old, the stocky little black egg called out, and then stared at Di Yaohui and Ya'er with timid eyes.In particular, this little guy has a dog's nose, and he smells so sweet and sweet from the big luggage bag that the black-faced man is carrying.

Yingzi is the older sister, and she is much more reserved than the small cannon-like eagle. She also timidly called Uncle Hu, but she looked at Di Yaohui and Ya'er cautiously, curiously, and with a hint of wariness.

Hu Tianshu saw that the child was rare, so he picked up the little eagle and kissed it twice. He didn't forget to touch Yingzi's pigtail with one hand. At the age of seven or eight, he should be acting like a baby in the arms of his parents, but he had to learn how to do it. Hu Tianshu's heart aches when he thinks about taking care of a family.

Di Yaohui and Ya'er felt their hearts throbbing when they looked at the timid siblings.It is said that a child without a mother is like a grass root. Although the faces of the two children are clean, the clothes are obviously not suitable.Elder sister Yingzi's clothes were all too short, but the stocky little eagle was wearing a floral cloth jacket that was obviously worn by Yingzi before, and her shoes had two holes, exposing her round toes.

The only thing that rejoices the three of them is that although the siblings are less innocent than children of the same age, their eyes are still clear and pure.

Hu Tianshu was afraid that the love of the three would scare the two children, so he said in an exaggeratedly enthusiastic tone, "Yingzi, Xiaoying, Uncle Hu is here to see you! These two are you Uncle Di and Aunt Du. You, Uncle Zhai, are just like Uncle Hu. They are all good friends of your father! By the way, Xiaoying, uncle also brought you a small train, and uncle will teach you how to play in a while! Yingzi, your father and your grandfather have gone into the mountains again?..."

Hu Tianshu's crackling words made Xiaoying's eyes shine, and even the sensible sister Yingzi let go of the guard in her eyes, and let the beautiful big sister in front of her hold her hand.

Both siblings are polite and good children, in front of Di Yaohui and Ya'er who met for the first time, although their expressions were still timid, after Hu Tianshu finished speaking, the siblings still greeted obediently, "Hi Uncle Di, hello sister! "

"Hello Yingzi, hello Xiaoying!" Di Yaohui and Ya'er also greeted the siblings with the attitude of adults treating young adults.

Hu Tianshu waited for the two majors and the younger ones to be safe, and then prepared to enter the room in a grand manner, "Okay! I guess Mencius has entered the mountain again, let's go in first!"

As he said that, Hu Tianshu was about to enter the yard with his shoulders and handbags on his shoulders, but unfortunately, he was stopped by the neighbor lady who finally rushed over, "Da Hu, it's really you! I guessed it must be you when I heard that loud voice just now!"

Hearing the neighbor's aunt say this, Hu Tianshu couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, "Yes, aunt! This is you!"

On the contrary, the lady next door was very enthusiastic, and her voice was louder than Hu Tianshu's just now, "I'm just here to see what's going on! Before Da Meng and his father went to the mountain, I asked me to take care of these two children. No, just now Hearing the movement, come over to take a look. Yingzi is also a stubborn girl. I said that I will let her siblings go to my house for food and lodging in the past two days. Just come over and take a look from time to time!"

The enthusiasm and straightforwardness of the people in the mountains are revealed in the plain language of the neighbor's aunt.Speaking of this, I still don't forget to discuss with Yingzi, "Yingzi, your uncle Hu has brought guests to your house, but your father and your grandfather have gone to the mountains again. How about we go to your aunt's house for this meal?"

Yingzi looked at Uncle Hu and the others in embarrassment, and finally pursed her lips, "No need, ma'am, I can cook anything! I can serve Uncle Hu and the others well!" [

"You little girl, why are you so stubborn..." The neighbor's aunt obviously understands the little girl's temperament very well, she feels distressed and sad, and she can't help blaming Yingziniang in her heart. Why are the two good children willing to say no to it? Woolen cloth?

Yingzi also knew that her persistence had hurt the aunt's enthusiasm, and she looked a little embarrassed.

Yingzi's sensitivity and stubbornness made Ya'er feel a dull pain in his heart. He shook Yingzi's small hand that was covered with a thin layer of calluses because of housework, and interjected, "Sister-in-law, we thank you in advance. ! But, there are three of us adults here, so don't worry!"

"Here," the neighbor's aunt hesitated. It seems that the big girl from the city can do it?In contrast, this enthusiastic and straightforward lady trusts Yingzi's ability more.The key is that Ya'er's appearance is too deceptive, especially Ya'er's refreshing Mandarin, her hands are tender and smooth, and even her delicate face has an unearthly air. Artifacts.

However, seeing that Da Hu and another old man were also there, the neighbor's aunt did not insist anymore and asked the Yingzi siblings to lead the guests into the yard.

And Yingzi, the little master, was obviously very qualified. He led people into the yard, greeted them in a decent way to sit down in the house, and then took three bowls from the wooden shelf to pour water for the three of them.

The little eagle had already come down from Uncle Hu's arms. Seeing her sister pouring water for Uncle Hu and the others, she also ran to the kitchen cupboard to bring a sugar jar, and scooped it into three tea bowls with an aluminum spoon. Spoon of brown sugar, "Uncle, big sister, the syrup is sweet and delicious!"

Hu Tianshu saw that this kid took out his rarest sugar bowl, he was so sweet in his heart, he hugged the little guy on his lap, just like his father and father, he took a bowl of brown sugar water, you took a sip and I took a sip, The end is intimacy.

Di Yaohui, on the other hand, has never attracted children very much, let alone how to deal with children of this age, so he quickly opened the two luggage bags he brought over and used sugar-coated cannons to attract the attention of the little ones.

And Yingzi, a young lady who is only seven or eight years old, looks like a little adult, while looking at her younger brother Xiaoying with love on her face, while not forgetting to tell her, "Xiaoying, please greet Uncle and Big Sister for my sister." My sister is going to cook for Uncle and the others!"

Before Xiaoying could answer, he had already sloppily walked to the stove to look through the vegetable basket.

Ya'er has not yet recovered from the shock of seeing the dried eagle on the ridge when entering the yard, but when he enters the house and sees all kinds of decorations made of fangs, Ya'er behaves like Even rarer.Now, when I heard the little girl say that I want to cook for them, I came back to my senses and hurriedly followed, "Yingzi, tell my sister where the rice, noodles, oil and salt are, and I will make it myself!"

"No, big sister, take a break, I can do all the housework!" Yingzi obviously didn't lie, since the three of them entered the yard, they found that the yard was not at all like a house without a housewife. Although it was a bit messy, it was clean tidy.Even though the clothes on the siblings didn't fit well, they were all washed clean.There is no need to guess that the three of them knew that it was all taken care of by Yingzi, the little master.

Du Xuanjin of the previous generation was an orphan, so she knew how sensitive and strong a child of this age was.However, the faint heartache just now has not dissipated, so why is she willing to let a malnourished little girl explain these things to the three of them, "Yingzi, sister knows that our Yingzi is very capable, but Yingzi doesn't know if sister and uncle have the right taste How about Yingzi helping her sister?"

Ya'er's affirmation and rhetoric obviously didn't touch the sensitivity of this little girl who was only seven or eight years old, "Hey, then I'll beat my sister later!"

Ya'er couldn't help but make a provocative look at Di Yaohui, because Di Yaohui could only watch Xiaoying get close to his Uncle Hu, even though he was holding the toffee given by Uncle Di in his hand, and eating the little candy given by Uncle Di in his mouth. Dim Sum, still not daring to look at the black-faced Uncle Zhai.

Ya'er, who took the lead, followed Yingzi to the stove, and when she saw the pancakes still warming in the pan and the only bowl of miso, she realized again that no matter how strong and capable the little girl was, she was only a seven-year-old girl. An eight-year-old girl.

Subconsciously, Ya'er blurted out, "Yingzi, Xiaoying, is there anything you two want to eat, and my sister will make it for you later?" Ya'er did not deny that at this moment, her heart was softer than ever!

Yingzi was about to shake his head and say that they had already eaten, when Xiaoying raised his hand, pointing to the half fan of pork that the three of them had specially cut in the village, and said, "I want to eat dumplings, pickled cabbage and pork dumplings will be peach blossoms! My sister doesn't know how to make dumplings." , neither father nor grandpa will!"

"Okay! Then let's eat pickled cabbage pork dumplings and braised pork ribs, okay?" Ya'er came to a conclusion before the little girl refused.

"Oh! Let's eat dumplings, let's eat dumplings!" Xiaoying almost jumped up in Hu Tianshu's arms happily, and finally, Yingzi gave him a glare, and then he calmed down.

There are two strong and big men, although the time for making dumplings is a bit rushed, but it is not difficult. [

After cutting off three or four catties of good pork belly on the tip of the buttocks, washing a pile of sauerkraut, Hu Tianshu was in charge of chopping the stuffing without technical content, Di Yaohui was in charge of kneading the noodles, but Ya'er was free and only in charge of adjusting the stuffing.

It can be seen that Yingzi, a sensible elder sister, was very concerned about Xiaoying's statement just now that my sister can't.Seeing that the rolling pin seemed to be alive in the hands of the big sister, each dough turned into a round dough in a short time.

Yingzi remembers very carefully and studies very seriously. After learning it, he can make dumplings for his grandfather, father and younger brother.

Hu Tianshu, an old man, doesn't have any talent for making dumplings. Look at the company commander who made the dumplings in an orderly manner, and then look at the little girl who made the same dumplings. Hurry up, the meat is covered with dumpling skins, wipe it Hands, let's hold the little eagle and watch the fun.

Hu Tianshu knew that Mencius had always been a strong brother, and it happened that he was not around at this time, so he said, "Yingzi, your father and your father still often go to the mountains now? Your father's legs can walk on mountain roads? They this time How many days have you been in the mountain? When will you be able to come back? Can they rest assured that you two are at home?"

"I can take good care of my brother, so my father and my grandfather have nothing to worry about!" Yingzi said at a young age, but with a distressing old-fashioned tone.

Xiaoying is young and has a sensible older sister, so she is much more innocent.At his age, he is just at the age of memorizing and learning how to speak, so he quickly raised his hand and said, "I know this! I know this! Dad told my grandfather that he needs to go to the mountains a few more times to earn more money, so hurry up and give the money away." Give it back to the comrade-in-arms uncle who sent money to my house! Also, I have to save my sister’s tuition! Dad said, my sister is smart, and I want to earn money so that my sister can go to school and go to college!"

In the end, Yingzi was just a seven or eight-year-old girl. When her mother was not at home, she was armed with strength and sometimes cracked. She turned her back and touched the tears in her eye sockets that she didn't know how to fill. She said stubbornly, "I If I don’t study, I will take care of my grandfather, my father and my younger brother at home!”

No matter how simple the people in the mountains are, gossip is unavoidable at ordinary times, especially, this is not a big city full of feasting and impetuousness, but a small mountain village with simple folk customs. The abandonment of Yingzi's mother seems particularly intolerant, and the trauma caused by the little girl is also the greatest. .

The strange thing is that what the three adults noticed was not the little girl's sensibility. The three adults were all focused on the first sentence of the little eagle's baby voice and parrot's tongue.

Di Yaohui already had something in his heart, so he sensitively grabbed the comrade-in-arms uncle who sent the money.Hu Tianshu was even more anxious. He only heard the word "repay the money", and complained in his heart that Mencius's family was in trouble. Why didn't he tell himself, "Xiaoying, tell uncle, what money does your father pay back to that comrade-in-arms uncle? Is the family in trouble? There is no one in the family?" Money? Why is your father's leg hurting again?"

Hu Tianshu's tone was anxious and irritable, so frightened that the little eagle in his arms couldn't help shrinking, and looked at his sister timidly, but was stared back by her sister who thought he was talkative.

The little guy is also tough-tempered, closed his eyes, no matter 21, "My father said that my mother should not accept the money sent by my comrade-in-arms uncle behind his back! My mother cried, saying that she should take it! Said that she was married to Meng The family came to suffer, serving the old and taking care of the young, and the man came back with a lame leg! Then my mother disappeared! Anyway, I don’t like my mother saying that my father is lame and that my father is a great hero!”

The little guy talked nonsense, but the adults are all smart people, especially Di Yaohui, who couldn't tell what it was like in his heart!

Di Yaohui didn't know if there were any other comrades-in-arms who sent money to Mencius's house, and he couldn't figure out whether he was doing something bad with good intentions. Anyway, he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't tell what it was like!
