Tao Li Luo Tang Qian

Rong Yao sent the seeds and chickens up the mountain, told Rong Yu and Su Nuo to treat the chickens kindly, and he loaded the wild pork that he had packed in the morning into the donkey cart and went to town.

Although wild pork is not as fresh and delicious as domestic pork, it is still very popular in the era of meat scarcity. Rong Yao sold all the wild pork successfully all morning. He took the two taels of silver he earned, Go straight to the blacksmith shop.

"What are you looking for, little brother?" The middle-aged man who was forging iron in the blacksmith shop put down the iron in his hand, and walked forward to greet Rong Yao.

The blacksmith's shop was much hotter than outside, Rong Yao wiped the perspiration from his face, looked around the display in the blacksmith's shop, and immediately replied: "Shopkeeper, I want to buy a pot."

"How many people are in the family? How big do you want?" The middle-aged man wiped his sweat with the sweat towel around his neck.

This sudden question made Rong Yao stunned for a moment. He didn't know what to think of, and a smile appeared on his blank face: "Three, there are three people in our family."

"Let's take this one. You have a small family, so you don't need a big pot." The middle-aged man showed Rong Yao the iron pot behind him, "I hammered all the iron pots by myself, so I can't talk about workmanship." It is the most delicate, but it is definitely enough for your use, and it will be no problem to use it until your teeth fall out.”

"..." Rong Yao stretched out his hand to test the thickness of the iron pan. If the iron pan is too thick, it will not be easy to heat, and if it is too thin, it will be easily broken. Fortunately, the iron pan in his hand is of moderate thickness and fits well with the stove at home. Bought the pot.

Iron pots were very troublesome to build in ancient times, so that the price was relatively expensive. Fortunately, Rong Yao was good at negotiating prices, so the shopkeeper finally backed down and only asked Rong Yao for half a dollar.

Rong Yao wandered among the bustling crowd and bought a lot of household items. When he was about to go home, he smelled the aroma of food and couldn't help but change his route.

**

In the old house of the Rong family on the mountain, Su Nuo was leaning against the old apricot tree, taking a rest with half-closed eyes, thinking about when Rong Yao would return.

"Brother Su, what's the matter with you, you seem to be bored." Rong Yu picked up a khaki little chicken from the basket, and said with a light in his eyes, "Come and coax the little chicken with me!"

"It's so boring to coax them to do something." Su Nuo glanced at the khaki dumplings bouncing around in the basket, his eyes darkened, and there was a glutton in his stomach. He likes to eat chicken, but the chicken is too small and still Brother Ayao, he can't do it, absolutely can't do it!

"Well, my brother said, don't do to others what you don't want to do to others, and I won't force you if you don't like it." Rong Yu continued to touch the little chicken in his hand, suddenly thought of something, raised his head and looked at the sleeping man. Su Nuo said, "Then what does Brother Su think is interesting?"

"Your brother." Su Nuo replied without thinking.

The speaker of this conversation was very natural, but the listener was stunned. Rong Yu put the little chicken in his hand back into the basket in surprise. He leaned in front of Su Nuo and continued to ask: "Brother Su, what do you think my brother is?" interesting?"

Su Nuo vaguely felt that his words were a little blunt, he was no longer sleepy, he got up and smiled, and laughed, "When did I say that your brother is interesting, you must have heard it wrong."

"Can……"

"Wow, this little chicken looks so fluffy and delicious." Su Nuo continued to change the subject.

Rong Yu, who was still wondering whether he was hearing hallucinations, was frightened by Su Nuo's insane thoughts and no longer insisted on what happened just now. He put on a straight face and imitated his brother's tone of voice, and persuaded Su Nuo, "Brother Su, The little chick is still a baby now, and it will grow up and lay eggs for us to eat, you can't eat it now."

"Oh?" Su Nuo deliberately elongated her voice, and showed a sly smile at Rong Yu, who was like a little adult. He stretched out his white and slender hands, and pretended to be fierce: "If you don't let me eat chickens, I will eat them." You! Aww!"

"Oh, Brother Su, how old are you, and you are still more childish than me, hahaha." Rong Yu got up from under the tree and ran while talking, while Su Nuo chased after him.

After all, Rong Yu was still a child, Su Nuo took a few more steps with his long legs, and caught Rong Yu, intending to tease Rong Yu, when he looked up, he saw Rong Yao who had just entered the yard.

Under the old apricot tree, the spring breeze blew, and the apricot blossoms fell to the ground. Su Nuo showed a canine smile and was mischievous. Standing there, Rong Yao was a little confused. He didn't know whether it was the beautiful scenery in the garden that confused his eyes, or Su Nuo's. The smile sucked his soul out.

"Brother Ayao?" Su Nuo stepped forward, seeing Rong Yao's dazed look, thinking that Rong Yao had been sucked by other monsters, so he quickly moved forward and sniffed Rong Yao's body, seeing that no one was there first. Only then did he feel relieved when he attacked Rong Yao himself, and he called out again, "Brother Ayao."

Rong Yao finally regained his composure. He walked to the kitchen, put the iron pan on his stove, picked out two warm oiled paper bags from a pile of oiled paper bags, and distributed them to the big and the small ones in front of him. He said, "I made two or two taels of silver from selling wild boars, bought an iron pot and the things I needed at home, and bought two packs of candies for the two of you by the way. .”

"Brother Ayao, why did you buy me food for this kid? What a waste of money." For some reason, Su Nuo felt that the oiled paper bag in his hand was hot, and the heat even spread to his heart. Making Rong Yao feel greedy, he purposely endured the glutton in his stomach, and put the oiled paper bag in Rong Yao's hand.

Rong Yao calmly put the oiled paper bag back into Su Nuo's hand, and said involuntarily: "Take it, no one has stipulated that you can't eat children's food? Besides, you have been helping me with work recently, you put this Treat it as a thank you gift from me, and eat it while it’s hot.”

Rong Yu, who opened the oiled paper bag earlier, didn't understand what Su Nuo was stubborn about. He stepped forward and grabbed Su Nuo's clothes and said, "Brother Su, you can eat it. It smells so good. You were not even a cute little girl before." Chickens want to eat them all, why don’t they eat candies?”

"Ah!" Su Nuo's cheeks became hot, she lowered her head and winked at Rong Yu to signal him not to say any more, then raised her head and explained to Rong Yao with a smile, "I did it on purpose to tease him, but he remembered it." gone."

"Well, I know." Rong Yao didn't know what Su Nuo was panicking about, so he could only comfort him in a soft voice, "I bought the Wosi Tang after waiting for a long time, eat it while it's hot."

Su Nuo wanted to continue talking, but when he heard Rong Yao's last words, his heart moved a little bit. He held the oiled paper bag in his hand and no longer shied away. He opened the oiled paper bag. He couldn't stop taking one and put it in his mouth, the aroma of peanuts and sesame swept his mouth, he looked at Rong Yao who was already feeding water to the chicks under the tree, with a sweet smile like sugar on his face, "A Yao Brother, Wosi Tang is so delicious, it’s the first time I’ve tried it.”

"Me, me too. I used to just watch other people eat. My brother is so kind to me!" Rong Yu was already immersed in the sweetness of the candy, even speaking in a silly way.

Su Nuo looked at it and said it was funny. He came to the old apricot tree with the corn candy in his hand, took out a piece of corn candy, and handed it to Rong Yao's mouth. Looking at Rong Yao's startled face, he said with a smile: "I If one person can't eat it, Brother Ayao can eat it too."

Rong Yao, who was being fed for the first time, felt a little uncomfortable, especially when he saw Su Nuo's affectionate eyes, he coughed uneasy, held back for a long time, and said, "I'll do it myself."

"I put it on your lips, Brother Ayao, why don't you show any affection like this?" Su Nuo pretended to be heartbroken and glanced away at Rong Yao, her amber eyes were full of sadness.

"Where there is, you will talk nonsense." Rong Yao couldn't resist Su Nuo, and directly took the wosi candy from his mouth, chewing the crispy and delicious wosi candy, looking at Su Nuo with deep eyes and smiling With Yan Kai's face, he thinks that Su Nuo looks the best when he smiles.

Su Nuo is a little fox who doesn't want to let go. He seized this opportunity and leaned under the big tree with Rong Yao, feeding them bite by bite, and taught Rong Yu beside him.

Rong Yao, who had already eaten a lot, finally refused the two of them after his younger brother also fed them, and got up to pack the seeds he bought a few days ago.

How could Su Nuo let Rong Yao go? He followed Rong Yao with a smirk, helping Rong Yao with this and that. Seeing that Rong Yao didn't speak, he took the initiative to talk to him, "Brother Ayao, what kind of seeds are these?"

"These are vegetable seeds, including radishes and carrots, lentils, eggplants, cucumbers and other vegetables, all of which are grown in our vegetable garden." Rong Yao took out the seeds, put them in the palm of his hand, and sucked them in the woods before secretly transporting himself. The incoming plant energy allows the seeds to grow quickly after accumulating energy.Su Nuo didn't notice Rong Yao's secret operation, just watched obediently, but suddenly remembered the oiled paper bag that Rong Yao and the little chicken had brought back in the morning, he patted his forehead, got up and put himself on the oiled paper in the kitchen The bag was brought to Rong Yao and said: "Brother Ayao, I almost forgot, you brought back an oiled paper bag this morning, what is it here?"

Rong Yao took the oiled paper bag, opened it, took a look, and immediately said: "These are the melon and watermelon seeds given by Grandpa Zheng, as well as some fruits that we don't have here."

"What is watermelon?" Su Nuo, as the spirit fox of Lingxi Mountain, has eaten all the delicacies in the mountain, but he knows nothing about watermelon, his eyes are full of curiosity.

"It's a melon that we don't have here. I used to eat it when I was working in the town. It's big and round and it's cool to eat in summer." Rong Yao gestured at the size of the watermelon.

The curiosity in Su Nuo's eyes turned into yearning, he thought for a while and asked again: "Then is it sweet?"

"Well, I'll find land to plant tomorrow, and you'll be able to eat it in summer." Rong Yao promised.

But I don't know how much motivation these words have given Su Nuo. After that, Su Nuo became more diligent and would get up early every day to help Rong Yao open up wasteland and cultivate land.

In the past few days, Rong Yao has planted all the vegetable garden and the land that was opened up before, and the rest is to find the land to grow melons. Rong Yao plans to continue to open up wasteland near the old house.

But almost all the land near the old house has been used up. In desperation, Rong Yao had to take Su Nuo and Rong Yu to find a suitable place to open up wasteland. Although there is a lot of land on the mountain, some land is uneven and there are stones and old people. trees, so it is not suitable for growing watermelons.

"Brother Ayao, why don't we go to the back of our old house, if we plant watermelon there in summer, it will be convenient for us to eat." Su Nuo followed Rong Yao to do housework after lunch.

Rong Yao answered while washing the dishes, "I remember there is a forest behind the old house, we can't destroy the forest just to grow watermelons."

"Hey, there's just a row of trees over there. Where did the woods come from? You didn't look carefully enough." Su Nuo felt Rong Yao's probing gaze, and just now he realized that he blinked at Rong Yao pretending to be calm, with a smile on his face. Pulling out a playful smile, "I found out when I was looking for my cousin."

After getting along with him for a long time, Rong Yao believed in Su Nuo, so he didn't ask any further questions, but nodded and said, "Then let's go and have a look later."

"Okay, that place is very strange, I believe Brother Ayao will like it after seeing it!" Su Nuo pretended to be mysterious and waited for Rong Yao to continue pestering him.

Rong Yao was hooked as expected, but before he could say anything, he heard Rong Yu shouting from the yard, "Brother, I saw my second uncle and aunt leading the villagers up the mountain!"
