Chapter 59 The loving couple

 Everyone in the house heard the sound and looked outside.

 I saw the village chief of the Xiao family, who had always been prim and serious, running towards the main house with excited steps.

Although Xiao Guofu is not favored by the Xiao family outside, in Xiaojia Village in the mountains, as the village chief and the head of the Xiao family of hundreds of Xiaojia villagers, he still speaks with authority and acts steadily and appropriately without being impetuous.

 It is almost impossible to run out with the excited trot of a three-year-old child.

 But at this moment, not only was it happening in real time, he was also too excited and surprised to see the people in the room.

He raised his voice and announced the good news: "Grandpa and grandma, the people who buy chestnuts are the Xiao family from New Town. Xiao Zhihai owns a grocery store on the street. Their grocery store wants to add new business and sell sugar-roasted chestnuts. The purchase price will be two cents for us." A pound of money! Twenty pounds can be exchanged for a pound of meat!”

"The chestnuts you have saved can be sold for money. With the chestnuts, you can not only buy meat and rice, but you can also go to Zhujia Village on the other side of the mountain to exchange piglets with the big pig farmer and raise them back." When you get older, you can eat whatever you want, whether you eat during the Chinese New Year or during normal times.”

"The sows can continue to give birth to piglets, and they can be eaten after they are raised..." Xiao Guofu's voice became smaller and smaller.

 Seeing Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu in the house of grandpa and grandma, they walked excitedly and quickly, and immediately slowed down to the sound.

The excitement and surprise on his face turned back to calm and calm after being stunned for a while, and he walked straight into the house.

Don't forget to smile and say hello to Xiao Chengbailu.

Bai Lu also smiled in response.

 Xiao Cheng nodded slightly, with a calm expression. After hearing the whole story, he drank tea slowly.

Grandpa and grandma are obviously used to Xiao Guofu's irritability and know that he will find a seat by himself.

 The opening was even more straightforward: "Were they the burnt black coals you brought over yesterday?"

Xiao Guofu's face was filled with embarrassment, and he explained exactly what Li Shuixian said when he fried chestnuts with sugar: "The first time Xiao Zhihai's family cooked chestnuts with sugar, they didn't control the heat well, but it was much better the second and third time. "

“So he gave you the burnt chestnuts that even the pigs wouldn’t eat as a gift?” Grandma revealed the truth.

There is also a reasonable inference: "With such unpalatable coke, customers will not buy it a second time. I think those coke chestnuts that could not be sold and were returned were thrown into the ditch. After all, they don’t raise pigs in the town, and they won’t feed them.”

Just feed Xiao Guofu, a stupid pig.

Grandpa also has eyes that see through everything.

Xiao Guofu felt that the eyes of the whole room were poking at him, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

Grandpa and grandma hate people who disrespect food the most. What Xiao Zhihai and Li Shuixian did is tantamount to stepping on the minefield of the two elders and provoking the bottom line of their principles.

No one is a fool. He wanted to explain things in a beneficial direction for Xiao Zhihai and his wife, but he couldn't find a reason.

You can only intercede as a member of the same clan: "Grandma, Xiao Zhihai is also a member of the Xiao family. He wouldn't give me roasted chestnuts for everyone to taste knowing that they are not edible."

"The chestnuts they sell to customers are all good. There is no reason why they are bad if they are given to us. They must have been freshly roasted and brought back to me before they were tasted. You guys also know that they are not fresh chestnuts in season. Shadui There are good things and bad things about saving, maybe that pot happened to be broken..."

Grandpa was displeased with Xiao Guofu's repeated actions to defend Xiao Zhihai and his wife: "How long will you continue to defend them? If you move to the town, you will be superior to others?"

"You make excuses for them when they make mistakes. They are all children of the Xiao family. If the villagers do something wrong, you should be punished or scolded. If they do something wrong, you just close your eyes and make excuses. Are they the emperor? !”

 Xiao Guofu was scolded until he was speechless.

Grandpa and grandpa Xiao Guofu are brothers, and they have always been a highly respected branch of the Xiao family.

 He is kind and friendly to others on weekdays. He is far-sighted when it comes to major issues and can make the wisest suggestions for the family. He has always been the most respected, loved and supported by his tribe.

Even he, the village head of Xiaojia Village and the Xiao clan chief, only succeeded in his position with the strong support of his two elders.

Xiao Guofu also knew that his approach was not advisable and that he was overly providing for the Xiao family outside.

He just wanted to find a way out for the Xiao family who were so poor in the mountains that even eating meat was a luxury.

Grandma grew up watching Xiao Guofu playing and playing with her son. She didn't know what he was thinking, but she always worked hard for the sake of the Xiao family in the mountains.

My grandmother originally had a son and a daughter. Her daughter married into Zhujia Village on the other side of the mountain. The mountains are high and the water is long and the journey is difficult. She rarely comes back. In the early years, her son went hunting in the mountains and was accidentally knocked off the cliff by a group of wild boars. He left without a son and a daughter. died.

 But she also has a nephew, Xiao Guofu.

The Xiao family in the mountains must rely on the village chief if they want to get rid of poverty. Xiao Guofu is too impatient, and it is inevitable that he cannot recognize people well.

Grandma sighed and spoke softly: "Afu, we are not unreasonable old stubborns. Of course we should seize the opportunity that can change our lives and live a good life, but we don't rush to deliver food to others. If Xiao Zhihai and his wife cannot sell their sugar-roasted chestnuts, it will be a waste even if we sell them to him."

 “It’s better to sell it to a strong wife!”

Grandma changed the topic and looked at Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng with a kind smile: "I believe in Da Zhuang and Da Zhuang's wife."

“They are just like you, they are good and filial children, and the things they make will definitely not be bad.”

Grandpa also nodded in agreement.

Xiao Guofu was shocked by his grandma's sudden and unexpected words. He stared blankly at Xiao Cheng sitting calmly across from him. He really couldn't really bully Xiao Cheng anymore.

  It is difficult to speak clearly: "Ah, grandpa, grandma, you are talking about him...she...Da Zhuang..."

 “Forber.”

 Bai Lu opened her mouth with a smile on her face, and kindly took over the conversation for Xiao Guofu: "We also buy chestnuts."

Xiao Cheng still drank tea calmly, unhurriedly, as if it was none of his business.

Xiao Guofu was confused when he saw it, and his mind was in a mess when he heard it, but he did not delay receiving the most important information.

 “Are you here to buy chestnuts too?”

Bai Lu nodded: "It's also two cents a pound."

“This, this is so sudden, why didn’t I hear you mention it on the way here?” Xiao Guofu was hit by two big pies at the same time, and he was so surprised that he was dizzy.

 All the big bullies were forgotten.

When grandma heard what he said, she straightened her face and said in a stern voice: "Today is the Qingming Festival. Everyone is going back to their hometown to worship their ancestors. You have to raise money before even offering incense to your ancestors. You think that the grown-up couple is a diamond?" A beggar in the eyes of money?”

 The big and small couple looked calm as if they were no beggars.

Xiao Guofu coughed in embarrassment and asked casually: "Are you also selling roasted chestnuts with sugar?"

Grandma said coldly: "You don't need to test it. The big and strong couple first sold the sugar-fried chestnuts. Xiao Zhihai and his wife failed to follow suit and fried them into coke for the pigs to eat."

ˆXiao Guofu Zhu: “…”
