Paradise

At the gate of the small courtyard of the Lin family, a person stood there, waiting eagerly. That person was none other than Lin Yu. He was a little brother who couldn't wait at the entrance of the village rashly, but he couldn't sit still at home, so he came to his own house. Waiting at the gate of the courtyard.

"Brother! We're back." Lin Baogang shouted from a distance before he showed up, just to reassure his brother Lin Yu.

One sentence made Lin Yu feel relieved.

While speaking, a few people came closer.

"It's good to be back, I'm hungry, the food at home is ready." Lin Yu said, "Uncle Liu, steamed buns have been steamed at home, let's eat some at home."

Liu Changwang waved his hands and said cheerfully, "No, your aunt is still waiting for me at home." He glanced at the house, and he had already seen a person standing at the door on the other side, not his wife but Who, his wife is thinking about him, he is very happy.

"Then I'll bring you some steamed buns and take them back to eat with my aunt." Lin Yu went back to the yard as he spoke, and after a while, he came out with a grate with several big steamed stuffed buns inside.

Liu Changwang was still holding the fox in his hand, and handed it to Lin Bao who was beside him, "Take it, it was shot by your brother Zhou, and this pheasant."

"Uncle Liu, let me see this. The pheasant is mine, and the fox and roe deer are ours. Let's go to the market and sell them tomorrow. Lin's place is small, so it's better to keep the roe deer and fox in your house. "Zhou Ze said.

As soon as Lin Bao heard this, he took the chicken, but the fox didn't take it.

As Zhou Ze said, he went to Liu Changwang's house with the roe deer on his back, met Liu Changwang's wife, Mrs. Wang, and called "Auntie."

"Hey, you are hunting roe deer. It's really good. You didn't get hurt."

"No, everything is fine." Zhou Ze said.

Seeing Zhou Ze like this, Liu Changwang didn't say anything more. He just thought about selling the money tomorrow and sharing more with them. When it came to the roe deer, he put in some effort. This fox was caught by Zhou Ze, and he didn't want to take advantage of other people's juniors. cheap.

Liu Changwang returned home with the grate. Wang took the grate and took the buns. After thinking about it, he poured half of the pot of meat and vegetables fried by himself into a bowl and asked his youngest son to send it to Lin Yu. It can be regarded as coming and going.

Today's dinner consisted of savory vegetable buns and meat dishes. The whole family ate sweet and delicious food. Zhou Ze was really hungry. After eating five big vegetable buns and two bowls of cold mung bean soup, it was really very comfortable to eat.

After eating, before Zhou Ze could do anything to help, Lin Yu had already quickly put away the bowls and chopsticks, and Lin Bao also followed suit.

"Brother Zhou, I boiled hot water in a pot. The water in the basin in the yard has been sun-dried. You can use it to take a bath. The clean clothes are placed on your kang. I'll go back to the house first."

While talking, Lin Yu washed the dishes and went into her room.

Zhou Ze lowered his head to look at himself, his body was indeed dirty, it was sweaty and muddy when he went into the mountains, and his clothes were sticky to his body at this moment, it was so uncomfortable.

Farmers are not so particular. In summer, men usually go to the river beach to take a shower when it is dark. Some of them take a shower at home, fill a large wooden basin with water, and bask in the sun for a day. The water is warm, and taking a shower with this water is not so cold.

Lin Yu entered the house, but Lin Bao was still there, so Zhou Ze took Lin Bao and took a shower in the yard together. After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Zhou Ze felt very comfortable, and fell asleep after lying on the kang Well, when I opened my eyes again, it was already the next morning.

Zhou Ze glanced at Lin Bao who was sleeping sweetly next to him, and began to put on his clothes lightly. He had just put on his clothes, when he saw Lin Bao rubbing his eyes, sitting up in a daze, and saw that he was getting dressed, All of a sudden, I woke up and put on my clothes.

"Xiaobao, it's still early, what are you doing up so early, lie down and go to sleep."

Lin Bao shook his head, "I won't sleep anymore, I want to learn boxing from you, you can take me with you." After a pause, he lowered his head and called softly, "Brother Zhou"

"Good boy, I think of calling me big brother today, hahaha, okay, I'll teach you boxing, don't cry bitterly."

Lin Bao raised his head again, clenched his fist and said, "I won't complain."

"Okay, let's go, run with me for two laps first." Zhou Ze said.

"Okay." Lin Bao's eyes brightened.

Zhou Ze took Lin Bao around for two laps, and taught him two boxing routines. The two of them, one big and one small, taught the other a lesson, and they were very enthusiastic.

After Lin Yu got up, she was taken aback when she saw the two lively people in the yard, then smiled and went to make breakfast.

The three of them simply had breakfast, Zhou Ze said, "Ayu, Xiaobao, go to the market with Uncle Liu later, let's go together."

"Okay, just wear the straw hat we made, and it can be sold for money." Lin Bao agreed happily.

Lin Yu thought for a while but shook his head, "Brother Zhou, take Xiaobao with you, there is still work to do at home."

"Brother, let's go together. You haven't been to the county seat for a long time. I'll do the housework when I come back." Lin Bao said.

But Lin Yu shook his head firmly, "I'm not going, you guys go." Lin Yu had his own thoughts, he was afraid that others would gossip, after all, it's not good for his brother to go out with a big man.

"Okay, brother, tell me what you want to buy, and I'll bring it back for you." Lin Bao said.

"Buy some needles and threads. There are not many needles and threads at home, and there is coarse salt." Lin Yu said.

"Well, I see." Lin Bao responded.

Liu Changwang drove his own ox cart over to call Zhou Ze, and shouted outside the courtyard, "Boy Zhou, come out, we should go."

Zhou Ze and Lin Bao came out with a stack of straw hats they made up. A few days ago, a few people made up when they had nothing to do. After a few days of work, they made up a dozen or so.

"Tsk, you guys even made a straw hat. It's quite novel. It's the first time I've seen a straw hat of this style." Liu Changwang picked up a straw hat and looked through it.

"Brother Zhou taught us to weave it. How about it? It looks good. This straw hat is for Uncle Liu." Lin Bao said with a smile.

"Okay, it just so happens that my straw hat is broken." Liu Changwang put the straw hat on his head as he spoke, "Don't mention it, the big brim of the hat is quite good at shading the sun."

Zhou Ze and Lin Bao also wore straw hats on their heads, just to shade them from the sun.

The three of them sat on the ox cart and walked slowly on the road. The market they were going to was on West Street in Pingyang County. Every three or six nines, there was a market there. Luoxia Village was not far from Pingyang County. , less than ten miles away, walk faster, and you will arrive in less than an hour.

There were quite a few people going to the market on the road, most of them were walking, some were carrying baskets, some were carrying loads, and everyone was in a hurry.

As soon as Liu Changwang drove the ox cart out of the village, he was stopped by two people, one of whom shouted, "Uncle Liu, we are too weak to drive, please give us a ride."

As soon as these two people appeared, Zhou Ze's first reaction was to laugh. He wondered what kind of hobby these two men have, why they dress up like this, wear colorful clothes, walk awkwardly, their faces are powdered, and their mouths are also painted red , a pungent aroma hit my face when I got close, and I wanted to sneeze when I smelled it, and there were two "flowers" alive.

Thinking that it would be impolite to laugh, Zhou Ze put on a hard face and suppressed the smile, but one of them even gave him a frown.

""

Zhou Ze was about to throw up, so he quickly stopped looking at them, but was glared at by Lin Bao who was next to him, and snorted coldly at him, leaving him with the back of his head.

""What's the matter?Zhou Ze felt baffled.

"Liu Xi, Liu Lan, I'm sorry, the car is full of things and there is no place to sit. I will pick you up next time." Liu Changwang said, obviously not wanting to take the two of them.

The man who was winking at Zhou Ze looked at Zhou Ze and chuckled twice, "This is the man Lin Yu picked up, um, he looks pretty good, no wonder he stayed at home."

Being evaluated by a man who is "like a flower", Zhou Ze's face darkened, and he was about to say something, but Lin Bao spoke first,

"Liu Xi, stop talking nonsense, gobble your tongue everywhere, be careful of your tongue being rotten."

"Hmph, brat, you're the only one with a rotten tongue."

"Liu Xi!" Liu Changwang yelled with a serious face,

Seeing Liu Changwang's face darken, Liu Xi and Liu Lan didn't dare to say anything, so they twisted their waists and walked away.

"Don't pay attention to them, these two people just talk bad." Liu Changwang comforted Zhou Ze.

"They look different from others." Zhou Ze frowned.

"Those two little brothers are like that. They have two money at home, so they like to dress like that. People in the village look down on them, and of course they don't look down on the men in the village. They look forward to climbing high and marrying the county. The little brothers in the village None of them are like them, they are all people who live a stable life," Liu Changwang said.

brother?Zhou Ze heard the key words of this sentence from this sentence, and boldly guessed in his heart, could this little brother also be able to marry, and his guess was soon confirmed.

"It's just that it's not easy for my little brother to conceive a child, and he is not valued by the family. Alas, some little brothers use their brains in a wrong way."

The little brother can not only marry but also have children?Zhou Ze finally realized something terrible. Thinking of Lin Yu, could it be that Lin Yu is a brother?No wonder Lin Bao always protected him, and also guarded against getting close to his brother. After thinking about this, Zhou Ze was a little dumbfounded, but the hidden thoughts in his heart moved again.

Liu Changwang drove the ox cart, wobbled to the gate of the city, entered the city and stored the ox cart in the car dealership, and took Zhou Ze, one carrying the roe deer and the other carrying the fox, to a restaurant familiar with the way, and put the roe deer It was obviously not the first time that Liu Changwang came to this restaurant. He was very familiar with the chef and introduced Zhou Ze to him. The two quickly negotiated the price with a smile. It sold for three or two hundred dollars.

The restaurant does not accept foxes. Liu Changwang took Zhou Ze and the others to a fur shop. Because the fox fur was intact, they sold it for another one to four hundred dollars.A roe deer and a fox got four, two or six hundred dollars.Liu Changwang wanted to share one, two or six hundred taels of silver, but Zhou Ze did not agree. The two argued, and finally Liu Changwang got two taels of silver, and the remaining two, two or six hundred dollars were given to Zhou Ze.

"I'm going to the market and I have some things to buy. You guys should go shopping too. I'll see you at the car dealership. Remember to keep the money. There are many people in the market, so don't let anyone touch it. "Liu Changwang enjoined.
