[Rebirth] The Little Mason

Chapter 11...

Yu Fan said, "Also, you can't put this chicken to sleep with it on the bed, it will have lice."

Xiao Qiao put her chin in her hands and thought for a long time, then asked Yufan with a smile, "Then can I sleep with you? That way there won't be any lice."

"No!" Yufan refused immediately.

"Why not, we haven't slept together yet!" Xiao Qiao insisted.

"A good friend must have slept in at least one bed!"

"Who said we never slept together!" Yufan blurted out a sentence suddenly.

"When?" Xiao Qiao's eyes flashed suddenly, and then she stared at Yufan.

"No, I'm talking nonsense!" Yufan's face was a little hot, and the grown-up Zhang Qiao really deserved a beating when he thought about it.

"Go home quickly, help it build a chicken coop!" He pushed Xiao Qiao out, and then closed the door of the chicken coop.

"Oh." Xiao Qiao stared at him for a long time before turning around and walking slowly towards home.

The so-called home was just an old mud-brick house, which looked like an old man's empty eyes, and suddenly made people feel a little cold.

He thought about it for a long time before and didn't know why he was so kind to him.

Seeing Xiao Qiao's figure disappearing in the faint mist, he finally came to a conclusion: Xiao Qiao is pitiful.This child who has no parents to love, is fed and hungry, and lives alone in the old house, who is not pitiful.

For a long time, Yufan was very kind to Xiao Qiao. He would bring him home meals at noon, and he would also help him buy two pairs of cheap plastic sandals at the market.In class, I can help as much as I can.

In short, it makes the rest of the class jealous.

What kind of character is Chen Yufan!The teacher doesn't mess with it very much, but he will be so kind to a little boy!Everyone can only sigh and sigh, and the attitude towards Xiao Qiao is obviously much better.

Even when get out of class was over, Yufan took Xiao Qiao home with him.Xiao Qiao would sit quietly in the classroom and wait for Yufan to come up from behind him, then obediently put the cloth schoolbag she had packed on her shoulders, and followed Yufan home.

Sometimes Yufan was in a hurry and didn't see the person behind him. When he went back to look, he would find that he was still waiting in his place... Yufan even thought, if he didn't go, would he not go home? !

Then Xiao Qiao sometimes took Xiao Huang to the house to see other chicks. He tied a rope to Xiao Huang's feet to prevent him from getting lost.Yufan laughed at him a lot for this.

Yufan's father is still busy with his chicken business, and the chicken shed has gradually got on track thanks to his hard work, and he has made some money. Back then, he added a freezer to his home.

This matter could not be hidden from the villagers.

The surrounding people also started to move around, asking where Chen Li bought the chicklings, and whether he would set up a chicken shed to raise chickens when he returned home.

"This one is the so-and-so house in the town," the honest Chen Li will tell him in detail, and tell you all the prices clearly.

But the daughter-in-law is not happy at this time, and always calls him stupid, saying that others rob you of your money and so on.

Chen Li, who has made money, naturally has confidence in front of his wife. His career, which was not expected at the beginning, has now improved, and he is not to be outdone, "You women know how to say petty words!"

"Okay, okay, I'm stingy, you are generous, don't cry when you have no money in the future." He and his wife often say a few words like this.

At dinner one day, my mother started nagging again.

"No one is afraid of a lot of money!"

Dad naturally understood the meaning of these words, but he didn't make a sound. Looking at grandpa, the two of them secretly laughed.

"Oh, dare to love, I'm the only woman in this family! I'm short-sighted!" Mom also knew what they meant, and could guess what they were going to say next.

"I said mom," Yufan, who has always been silent on this topic, said at this time, "Dad, maybe you can reduce the scale of the breeding. I heard that my family is going to buy another batch of chickens? Let's sell this year's chickens first." .”

Yufan always remembers that his family lost so much money that the house was about to be demolished.

"You have to make money while it's hot, don't you understand!" Dad took a sip of the wine, held it in his mouth, and swallowed it after a long time.He slapped his son hard on the shoulder: "Don't worry about it, kid, you just need to do a good job in your studies. Even Xiao Qiao, a transfer student, has surpassed you in grades."

"Isn't he smarter than me!" Yufan lowered his head and drank his porridge, then looked at his father with a look of persuasion, "Dad, don't make it too big, if you can, you can come next year."

According to memory, if we can survive the chicken plague next year, everything should be fine.

"At that time, everything is mature, and maybe an industrial chain can be formed. If there are more people in this village, we can jointly set up a one-stop chicken farm, from breeding to slaughtering to packaging or selling, and maybe we can earn more. Rich."

"You've made it!" Grandpa also slapped Yufan on the shoulder hard, and took a sip of the rice wine, "This learning is not in vain. It's said one by one. In the future, you will definitely be more promising than your father."

"Go, go, what are you talking nonsense about! Why are the villagers willing to do it together! Don't you only care about making money for yourself!"

Mom vetoed it.Dad is not optimistic either.

See only grandpa is happy, Yufan has no interest in discussing this issue since then.

Dad really went to buy more chickens, this time not only bought chickens, but also expanded the chicken shed, which was very hot.He guarded the chicks from dawn to dusk, wishing that these fluffy little yellow things would turn into gold immediately.The people in the village should be jealous, and those who are not jealous have also followed Chen Li's example.

But things didn't turn out as expected.

At that time, there was a bird flu outbreak across the country, and almost all the chickens that Chen Li worked so hard to raise were lost.

When chickens die, they are piled up in piles, and piled up together is really like a golden mountain.But no one would think about that.Because this time it is a golden mountain sent out.

No one dared to buy the remaining chickens, and they were burned together with the dead chickens under the organization of the village health center.

"It shouldn't be..." Chen Li slumped on the bench all of a sudden, holding the leaflet from the court, and kept chanting.

He lost all his savings, sold everything that could be sold in the family, and failed to pay off the usury.

He suddenly thought of last night, last night he washed his feet before going to bed, and when he was pulling on his slippers dripping wet to go to see the chickens, he stumbled directly. Could it be that it was an omen? !

Mom was so anxious that when she ran back with grandpa, grandpa fell headlong into the field and almost couldn't get up.

All of a sudden, the ups and downs turned into ups and downs, and it became a joke in the village.Those who were jealous were no longer jealous, and all of a sudden they turned into supercilious eyes.Those who followed him to buy chickens almost didn't blame him for it.

Yufan's mother trembled all over and wanted to cry, but the tears couldn't come out no matter what.

"I told you not to increase the number of things you can't stop me!" Yufan said to his father, "You guys are so brainless!"

Chen Li yelled angrily: "Maybe it's your little ancestor who caused the trouble! Your little ancestor's crow's mouth! Is it you!" Seeing Chen Li walking towards him, Yufan rushed out of the house without looking back.

At this moment, he felt that his heart was going to explode with anger. If he stayed there for another minute, his dad might beat him up.

Dare to blame him for this matter!Do things without thinking and blame others!

In the twilight, Yufan ran all the way to Xiao Qiao's house.Being blown by the cold wind on the path, my eyes hurt.

In terms of age, he is now about the same age as his father, and in terms of knowledge, he has the knowledge of two generations!

Yufan walked all the way, swearing all the way, he will definitely stand out in the future.Let Chen Li see what a mind is!

It was already getting dark, and he was about to arrive at Xiao Qiao's house.Looking at Xiao Qiao's house from a distance, a kerosene lamp is lit, and the beans are big.Yufan's nose started to feel sore. He saw Xiao Qiao stepping on a stool and cooking something.

"Why are you here..." Xiao Qiao was surprised when she saw him.But before he could finish speaking, Yufan squeezed him in.

"I'll sleep with you tonight."

"what?"

Xiao Qiao was surprised at first, and then his eyes sparkled. He immediately closed the door, threw himself on Yufan's back, and shouted happily, "It's really great!"

Yufan originally wanted to push Xiao Qiao's hand away, but after thinking about it, he let him hold her.

Fortunately, there was movement in the pot, so Xiao Qiao ran over and lifted the lid to let Yufan go.

Looking up and looking around, Yufan's mood became even worse.

This house is too shabby.He hadn't looked at it carefully before, but looking at it now, it was really dilapidated.The part below the window collapsed neatly and was supported by a wooden pillar outside. The incandescent lamp on the beam had already been broken, leaving only a switch rope dangling down.

No one even changed a light bulb for him!

Yufan really didn't expect Xiao Qiao to live in this environment for so long!

"Why did you come to sleep at my house today!" Xiao Qiao still had a happy expression on his face. He tasted the cabbage soup in the pot, filled a bowl for himself, and then turned to ask Yufan, "Do you want it?"

Yufan shook his head.

"I had a fight with my dad." He answered honestly.

"Why?" Xiao Qiao put the bowl on the small wooden table, then looked at Yufan with sympathy in her eyes.

"Hey." This time Yufan didn't answer so smoothly. He looked at the soup with a few vegetable leaves floating in it and asked sullenly, "Is this what you drink for dinner?"

"I'm not hungry today!" He gently touched the table with one fingertip, blushing a little, "I just ate a steamed bun."

Yufan didn't ask any further questions. He sighed and leaned on the table to help Xiao Qiao pluck her hair. "My family is in trouble."

"Does it mean that?" Xiao Qiao quickly realized what was going on. He grabbed Yufan's hand and put it between them, then rubbed it gently and nonchalantly, "Don't be sad, It'll get better."

"It won't be fine."

Yufan stated the fact without any emotion, "It won't be good."

In his memory, the family has been devastated ever since.

"It will be fine." Xiao Qiao looked at him firmly, "You study hard, you will be fine!"

"Hey, who knows!" Yufan withdrew his hand, then scratched his scalp fiercely, "I'm going to be a mason if I can't."

"No!" Xiao Qiao yelled suddenly, and when he saw Yufan's eyes turned around, he started drinking soup silently again.

"I'm just joking." Yufan patted the back of his hand, staring at Xiao Qiao with strange eyes.

Just when the two of them were about to fall into silence, he heard a "goo" sound.

"It's Xiao Huang!" Xiao Qiao suddenly returned to her usual innocent appearance.

"Little yellow?"

"It's the chick you gave me!" Xiao Qiao pointed to a chicken coop made of bricks not far away, and said proudly, "I've raised it well! Don't tell others, or you will be hurt. Somebody came to drag it away!"

The author has something to say: long-winded or not long-winded. .this is a problem. .
