Farmhouse Small God Bowl

Chapter 101
"Auntie, is this brother Xiaoguan making you angry again?" Zhou Xiaobai asked looking at the sad brother Xiaoguan who was crying just now.

Aunt Yan sighed, "Hey, Xiaobai, you're not an outsider, I've been born with all kinds of stuff, and I don't worry about any of them."

"Auntie, Brother Xiaoguan is only that old and doesn't understand anything, why are you so angry with him!" Zhou Xiaobai explained.

"I'm not talking about Xiao Guan, it's Xiao Kai from that family, it really doesn't make me worry." Aunt Yan frowned again.

What, Brother Xiaokai provoked the aunt. "No way, brother Xiaokai is obedient and filial, why did he make the aunt angry again?"

While talking, Yan Xiaokai had already brought Xiao Guan in. When Xiao Guan saw the food, he hugged a sparrow and took a big bite, saying it was delicious.Aunt Yan pushed him aside, "Xiao Kai, take your brother to play, and I will have a good chat with your sister Xiaobai."

After talking about tidying up the kang, he dragged Zhou Xiaobai to the kang.As soon as he came up, Zhou Xiaobai felt warm and comfortable. He thought to himself, anyway, in the coming year, grandpa said that he would tidy up the house, so he must fix the fire resistance.

After dispatching the big one and the small one, Aunt Yan took Zhou Xiaobai's hand and said, "Xiaobai, why didn't I give birth to such a well-behaved daughter as you, and gave birth to two debt collectors?" Ghost, see the heavens and tell me to bother."

Zhou Xiaobai didn't know what she was complaining about, so he could only pour a cup of tea for Aunt Yan from the table, and listened to her continue to complain, "What's wrong, Auntie, Brother Xiaokai is a well-known filial son in the village, why did he mess with you?" Are you angry?"

Although she was angry with Yan Xiaokai, but hearing people praised him, Aunt Yan still felt a little happy in face, so the anger on her face was less.Which mother would not like to hear people say that her son is filial?
"You don't know. Usually, Xiao Kai is very talkative and obedient. How come he doesn't listen at all when it's critical. Just like his father, that stubborn donkey, he just doesn't listen to persuasion The more Mrs. Yan talked, the more annoyed she became, but Zhou Xiaobai was completely confused by Monk Zhang Er, so he could only continue listening.

Fortunately, Mrs. Yan was just talking to someone, she didn't need any answer, and then she continued, "My son, I don't know what's going on, but I suddenly became dazed and insisted on going to business."

Brother Xiaokai is going to trade? !Although this businessman was rich in ancient times, his status was the lowest, so it is no wonder that Mrs. Yan is angry.

"Brother Xiaokai, why do you want to go?" Zhou Xiaobai couldn't figure it out. According to the Yan family's family background, although it is not very good, they can get by anyway, and they haven't reached the point where they have to do business.

Aunt Yan listened to Zhou Xiaobai asking the reason, glanced at Zhou Xiaobai, moved her mouth, and finally sighed, "Who knows why this kid is so stubborn?"

In fact, Aunt Yan only said half of what she said, but the reason for this was not good, so she told Zhou Xiaobai, because this matter still has something to do with Zhou Xiaobai.

But Yan Xiaokai and Zhou Xiaobai are childhood sweethearts, and their hearts have long been on Zhou Xiaobai. In the past, Zhou's family was poor, so there was nothing to worry about.But since a while ago, the Zhou family has gradually become more prosperous, the food is getting better, Zhou Xiao's white face has also spread out, and her small figure has also grown.Even several households inquired about the daughter of the Zhou family. Although she was young, she had a good-looking appearance. Within two years, many people came to snatch her.

In addition, Zhou Xiaobai is also smart recently, and he even built a pond in the town to raise fish, which should be more money, so Yan Xiaokai was worried.I feel that although my family can have enough food and clothing, compared with Zhou Xiaobai, it is still not enough, so I want to go to the merchants to earn some money back, so that I can be worthy of Zhou Xiaobai.

Yan Xiaokai's thoughts, Aunt Yan is naturally clear, Xiaobai is a girl, she has grown up since she was a child, she has a really good temper, she was a little unhappy at first, thinking that Zhou Xiaobai's family is too poor, she still cares a little bit .But I didn't expect that in just a few days, the feng shui took turns, and I fell to the point where my family was not worthy of Xiaobai.Although she also thinks that Xiaobai is good and supports Xiaokai to go outside to earn money, but Aunt Yan disagrees a hundred times when she goes to trade.

But it is naturally inconvenient for Aunt Yan to tell Zhou Xiaobai about this idea.It was definitely impossible for Zhou Xiaobai to guess.I can only comfort, "Ma'am, it's a good thing that Brother Xiaokai wants to make money."

"Good thing, I also want to make money, but our Yan family can't afford to lose it!" Aunt Yan looked at Yan Xiaokai with gritted teeth, looking at Yan Xiaokai with a look of hatred. "Anyway, if I say I'm dead, I won't agree."

Hearing Aunt Yan's words, Yan Xiaokai, who was playing with Xiaoguan, suddenly turned around and said, "Mother, no matter what, I must go."

Aunt Yan who said this immediately became furious, "You child was born to be angry with me. If this is the case, it is better not to be born."

"Brother Xiaokai, don't talk about it, just say a few soft words to calm the aunt down." Zhou Xiaobai could only persuade him inside.

But this time Yan Xiaokai didn't even listen to Zhou Xiaobai's words, he just stiffened his neck and didn't bow his head or let go.Aunt Yan looked at him like that, felt sad, beat her chest and stamped her feet, "You really have the same temper as your dead father, anyway, I just don't agree to this matter, even if he agrees, it won't work."

Seeing his mother crying, Xiaoguan who was holding the sparrow, which was eating deliciously, opened his eyes and looked at the adults, threw away the half-eaten sparrow in his hand, and burst into tears.Seeing this family, Zhou Xiaobai was so jealous that he stood there as an outsider, and he regretted why he came here at this time.

Over there, I heard Aunt Yan crying, "Why did I give birth to such an incompetent son like you? I told you to go to school before, but I refused to go because I was old, but now I want to learn to trade. I don’t have any capital, so what’s the point of just walking around the house.” Zhou Xiaobai finally understood, it turned out that it’s meaningless to despise the small shopkeeper, if Brother Xiaokai really gets rich and opens a few shops, it’s probably not too much. It's going to be such a fuss.

Brother Xiaokai is also true, if you want to make money, you can make money, why do you want to be a peddler.Do something else, it won't work.

"Brother Xiaokai, why do you insist on being a shopkeeper? Why can't you just learn a craft or something?" Zhou Xiaobai said softly.

After hearing Zhou Xiaobai's suggestion, Aunt Yan stopped crying, and Yan Xiaokai lowered her head and thought about it.What Xiaobai was saying was that it was a good idea, although Aunt Yan was reluctant to let Xiao Kai go to learn crafts, but at least it was better than being a shopkeeper who went from house to house.Waiting to learn the craft and open a small shop by myself, it's okay to think about it.Yan Xiaokai also thought, since his family objected to being a shopkeeper, it would be a good idea to learn a craft.

"Then why should I learn a good skill? Xiaobai." Yan Xiaokai was really thinking about it, but he didn't know what to learn.

Aunt Yan saw that Yan Xiaokai was a little quick-witted, so she hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, "Xiao Kai, why don't you learn to be a carpenter. Wooden parts are indispensable in every household. If you learn this, you will not have to worry about eating. Xiaobai, what do you say?" Isn't it?" Aunt Yan has learned a lot this time, and she pulled Zhou Xiaobai to express her opinion, knowing that Xiao Kai would not be able to refute Zhou Xiaobai's face.

Zhou Xiaobai nodded, not to echo Aunt Yan's words, but to think that carpentry is a really good job.Seeing Zhou Xiaobai also agreed, Yan Xiaoxin was really moved, "Then I will go to the town to inquire in a while and see if it works."

Hearing what Yan Xiaokai said, Aunt Yan breathed a sigh of relief, patted Zhou Xiaobai's hand and said, "Girl, my daughter is caring, why don't I have such a caring little padded jacket. If you are my girl, you can That's it." He said with a deep look at Zhou Xiaobai.

However, Zhou Xiaobai, who is naturally dumb, didn't think of this at all. He leaned on Aunt Yan's body, held her sleeve, and said sweetly, "That's a good relationship. I also want a mother, or I will admit it." Ma'am, you should be a godmother."

Aunt Yan gave Zhou Xiaobai a smile, "It's impossible, if I recognize you as a daughter, I'm afraid my stupid son will be the first to refuse to follow me."
"Mother..." Yan Xiaokai blushed at Aunt Yan's words, and felt a little uncomfortable. She was afraid that Zhou Xiaobai would understand, and even more afraid that she would not understand. This entangled psychology is even more depressed than before. . "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? I went out, so you two can talk about it."

As he said that, he threw Xiaoguan on Aunt Yan, turned around and went out.

Zhou Xiaobai still didn't understand, where did Yan Xiaokai sing?Why would he have objections to being a godmother?Really, is it because he is afraid of stealing his mother's love?With a snort, he took Aunt Yan's hand, "Auntie, Brother Xiaokai is really stingy."

I was stunned by what Aunt Yan said, this child, I really don't know what to say, why does it feel like he hasn't enlightened at all?It's a pity that my stupid son doesn't know when he will go.Hey, it's useless to worry about it now, children and grandchildren have their own blessings.

"Girl, what are you doing? Why does this sparrow smell so sweet?" After finishing her mind, Aunt Yan focused on looking at the things Zhou Xiaobai brought.I watched Xiaoguan eat "baji baji" before, it was delicious, and Aunt Yan picked one up and tasted it, and she was full of praise.

"Auntie, you can do it as you like. It's not something expensive, it's just a sparrow, but the method of making it is different. That's it..." Zhou Xiaobai said this way.

Aunt Yan frowned when she heard it, "You child. Although this food is delicious, you are too willing to give it up. This plate of fried birds probably takes up my family's oil for a day."

Zhou Xiaobai smiled "puchi", "Ma'am, I brought them here, you still worry about what to do with this, just eat with peace of mind."

Xiao Guan next to him grabbed this one with one hand and ate it non-stop, echoing Zhou Xiaobai's words, "It's delicious."

Seeing that the affairs of the Yan family had come to an end, Zhou Xiaobai said goodbye to Aunt Yan and planned to go home.Zhou Xiaobai really couldn't bear to let go of this hot kang head.

When they came to the door, Aunt Yan suddenly called out to her, "Girl, do you have beans at home?"

Beans, soybeans?Zhou Xiaobai shook his head. He had never grown soybeans at home, so naturally he would not have them. "Ma'am, what do you want beans for? Our family doesn't have any, but there are still some mung beans left. If you want them, I'll bring them to you later."

"You child, why can't you remember things? It's the end of the year, and you're going to make tofu. If you didn't go in previous years, you should go this year." It's good to be full, so every time Aunt Yan made tofu, she would give them a piece of tofu.This year the Zhou family had a good harvest, so Aunt Yan asked Zhou Xiaobai to go with her.

Beating tofu, it turns out that there is still such a custom here.As a time traveler, Zhou Xiaobai didn't know it at all, but he immediately came back to his senses, "Ma'am, it's not like I didn't remember this. Then Chen Mo and I will go to the town to buy some beans."

Aunt Yan shook her head, "I knew you didn't have beans at home, I already prepared them for you." She pointed to the two big buckets of beans in the corner of the room, "You definitely can't go now, the beans still need to be soaked for a few minutes. Damn it. You have a small family, so there should be almost enough beans in this bucket. You don’t have to worry about it, remember to come here early tomorrow morning, and I’ll go to make tofu with you.”

Zhou Xiaobai jumped high and hugged Aunt Yan's neck, "Auntie, you are really my mother, you think so well."

Aunt Yan thought to herself, is it easy for me?It's still because of my silly son, but Xiaobai's girl is really a pain in the ass, just like a little padded jacket.Pat her, "It's cold outside, wrap up tight, and go back quickly."

Waiting for Zhou Xiaobai to go home and talk to his grandfather and Chen Mo about making tofu.Zhou Gensheng slapped his head, "Hey, it's okay to say that Chen Mo didn't know about it, why did I forget about it. Or I don't even eat tofu for the Chinese New Year."

Zhou Xiaobai didn't take it seriously, "Grandpa, what are you afraid of? Even if there is no tofu for Chinese New Year, I'll cut your meat for you. I'm sure you won't starve."

"Okay, okay." Chen Mo was also generous now, he was very willing to eat, and slapped his hands in agreement.

Zhou Gensheng took the cigarette stick and knocked on his little head, "You two, you still sing and sing together, you have money and have nothing to spend, right? The landlord's family can't eat meat every time, but our family is still showing off of."

Chen Mo's small body was nimble and tight, and before Zhou Gensheng's cigarette rod fell, he slipped quickly and hid behind Zhou Xiaobai.

"You think it's safe to hide behind Xiaobai, I'm going to fight with you two together." Zhou Gensheng tried to scare them.

After a few people laughed and quarreled for a while, Zhou Xiaobai took a break early. He had to get up early tomorrow. These days, Zhou Xiaobai didn't want to get up, so he specially asked Chen Mo to call her, so as not to miss things.
