Chapter 60 Bite him again

When he was young, Xiao Guofu often went to the mountains with his grandmother and son to pick chestnuts. Every time, he would bring the fruits back to his elders.

Later, my grandma’s son passed away. Xiao Guofu was worried about the inconvenience of his two elders doing heavy work, so he often came to take care of him.

Yesterday I gave my grandma a taste of the sugar-roasted chestnuts given by Li Shuixian and his wife. I also wanted her to remember the taste so that she would not be deceived by strangers who came to collect chestnuts.

When Li Shuixian sent chestnuts to him, she told him that besides her and Xiao Zhihai, there must be someone else coming to collect the chestnuts.

 Ask him to inform the Xiao family in the mountains that the chestnuts are reserved for her and Xiao Zhihai and cannot be sold to others.

Say that others will be short-changed and cheat the villagers out of money.

Xiao Guofu never thought that the strangers who came to cheat money would be the bully Xiao Cheng and his wife.

  After Xiao Zhigang’s father moved to the new town, he rarely came back except for the Qingming Festival every year, and the same was true for Xiao Zhigang.

Xiao Cheng has never been back to the countryside since he was a child.

Xiao Guofu’s understanding of Xiao Cheng was limited to what he heard from the Xiao family in the town when he went to the town market.

They are all bad comments, saying that Xiao Cheng bullies men and dominates women, commits murders in the street, and commits all kinds of evil.

  Speaking harshly to the stepmother, behaving in a targeted manner, doing nothing all day long, leading a group of gangsters to fight everywhere.

Xiao Guofu didn’t know the facts either. He didn’t know who to believe or how to make a decision.

But this time Xiao Cheng helped him borrow a brick truck to carry people. On the way back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, he sought justice for the Xiao family, forced the Chen family's ancestor worship convoy to retreat, and opened the way for his ancestors. This is an indisputable fact. No one at home can do it.

Moreover, Xiao Cheng did not do any bad behavior from the town back to the countryside to going up the mountain to worship his ancestors.

 Thinking about it, the rumors may be true or false.

Not to mention, grandpa and grandma's trust and kindness towards Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu have already exceeded the level when they first met the Xiao family outside. The two elders' eyesight for recognizing people is unmistakable.

 Naturally everything is already known.

  Xiao Guofu finally agreed, and the chestnuts saved by his grandparents were sold to Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu.

 As for the others…

All he had to do was notify someone to buy chestnuts. He would not help either Xiao Cheng or Xiao Zhihai.

The tribesmen can sell to whomever they like.

  The price is the same anyway.

As for his chestnuts, let’s talk about it after paying homage to the ancestors. There is still a Xiao family ancestral tomb to pay homage to in the afternoon.

Xiao Guofu hurriedly returned to the square after explaining to the people in the room that he would have dinner in half an hour.

Grandma took Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu to the house where chestnuts were stored. It was right next to the main house and was also a mud-brick house.

The space is very large, and it looks like it is built to accommodate poultry animals such as pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese.

 Push open the wooden door.

 Wherever you can see, there are large piles of earthy brown sand, very tall and wide.

"This place used to be used to raise piglets. When my son was young, he and Afu would go to the mountains to make traps and catch many wild piglets. Sometimes they would also catch pheasants, hares, and various small animals. keep."

When talking about the sadness, Grandma paused, and after a moment her face showed relief: "Later, Ah Fu also caught piglets for us, and we all raised them in this house."

“Unexpectedly, the piglets had not been raised for a few days when a strong typhoon suddenly blew up. All the black tile roof beams were torn off and fell to the ground, crushing all the piglets to death.”

"After Ah Fu brought people over to repair the roof, we stopped raising piglets." At this point, Grandma smiled at Bai Lu who was listening carefully: "Actually, it was the piglets on the mountain that became sperm. Ah Fu can’t catch it.”

Grandma smiled so much that the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes raised. Her smile was kind and friendly at the same time, without the slightest hint of blame. Bai Lu's feet had just been rubbed with medicinal wine and were still hurting. At this moment, they were being supported by Xiao Cheng. She also gave her grandma a just right smile of surprise: "Maybe the little piglets didn't expect that Uncle Fu was so powerful and captured all their relatives." There was no light, so the piglets were all frightened and ran away."

This remark not only affirmed Xiao Guofu's ability to catch piglets, but also reflected my grandmother's intention to protect future generations.

Grandma liked Bai Lu very much, and praised her with a brighter smile: "I am so lucky to be strong. I have a smart and beautiful daughter-in-law. You must cherish her."

Xiao Cheng supported his good wife, not knowing whether he agreed or had other intentions, he replied seriously: "I will."

 Grandpa and grandma were full of joy.

Grandma continued: "Later there were no more piglets to raise, so we moved the sand and chestnuts stored in the cave and stored them all back in the house. These chestnuts were picked up by the old man and me on the mountain and fell from the trees. We can’t pick them if they are too tall, and the short ones will beat them with bamboo poles.”

“It’s not much. I estimate that the total number of chestnuts buried in the sand is only about 2,000 kilograms.”

Grandma’s understatement made Bai Lu stutter. More than two thousand kilograms of chestnuts, isn’t that much?

Just two old people can pick up so many chestnuts. It is unimaginable that the young people in the tribe can pick up an astonishing number of chestnuts. If the family has a large population, shouldn't it be tens of thousands?

When I thought about it, Xiao Wei himself could pick up more than 400 kilograms, and Bai Lu's surprise was immediately relieved.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but reach out and touch the pot lid of the little guy next to me. It's amazing!

 Xiao Wei suddenly regretted that he should not hold the big straw hat, but wear it on his head.

 However, when he raised his eyes and saw Bai Lu being supported by his elder brother, he felt relieved again.

Hmm, actually it’s good to touch it.

Grandma took a shovel from the corner of the house, and grandpa took it and shoveled the sand, and soon shoveled out a sack of chestnuts.

 Shaked the sand on it.

Grandma opened the rope of the sack and said, "Fortunately there is sand, otherwise we wouldn't be able to store good chestnuts."

"There is a very wide river on the other side of the mountain. There is sand in the river, and there is a lot of sand in the shallows beside the river. In the past, no one took care of the river, so the villagers packed a lot of chestnuts in sacks and carried them back to bury them. A few years ago, there was a big The boss contracted the river and built a sand field, so he won't let it be picked up. "

“The villagers are not even allowed to get close to the river. Those who come near will be beaten. That boss is very vicious..."

 Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng looked at each other, and at the same time they read a tacit understanding in each other's eyes - Li Chengbin.

Most of the sand and gravel fields in Pingcheng are in the hands of Li Chengbin. He is covered by a protective umbrella and acts rampantly.

Grandma grabbed a handful of chestnuts and gave them to Xiao Cheng. Her eyes with a smile hinted at Bai Lu to peel them open and try them.

Under Bai Lu’s puzzled and surprised gaze, Xiao Cheng held her waist with his left hand and began to peel chestnuts with his right hand.

Hold a chestnut in your broad palm, hold a chestnut between your slender thumb and forefinger, pinch it open, and peel the shell.

 Move freely and move smoothly.

Soon, Xiao Cheng peeled off a chestnut and handed it to Bai Lu's mouth in front of his grandparents.

Bai Lu still held his arm, opened her mouth slightly, bit off the chestnut, and chewed it slowly.

Hmm... very sweet.

Xiao Cheng retracted the fingertips that had been touched by his soft lips and continued peeling chestnuts as if nothing had happened.

The next chestnut he pinched was slightly warm, and when he put it into Bai Lu's mouth, it was still warm.

Bai Lu seemed to be aware of it, and when the next chestnut was brought to her mouth, she deliberately avoided it.

 But by chance, I bit his finger...
