Starting from selling lunch boxes at the construction site

Chapter 29

Back at the door of the house and pushing open the courtyard door, Xu An saw two swollen little buns.

When the two little guys saw Xu An coming in, not only did they not welcome him, they even gave him a look, and then played with the pile of sand on the ground aggrieved.

what's wrong?

Xu An thought about it, he didn't force the two of them to write and learn today, and he didn't let them drink the milk they hated, why did he suddenly get angry.

Xu An put the iron pot in the corner, walked over and squatted next to the two little guys.

"Can you tell me why you are angry?"

The two turned around together, leaving only Xu An a small, fleshy back.

"If you don't tell brother, then brother won't know why you are angry."

The two little heads got together and spoke in a whisper that Xu An could hear.

"Shall I tell my brother?"

"I don't want to talk to my brother."

"But brother is so stupid, if you don't tell him, he won't know."

"Ah, then shall we tell brother?"

After muttering for a while, the two reached an agreement, and their little heads finally turned to look at Xu An,

"My brother hasn't played with us for a long time, and he didn't take us with us when we went out of the stall in the morning. We can only play by ourselves."

As the two talked, they felt aggrieved, and their little faces became wrinkled, like meat buns.

Xu An thought back on the past half a month, and indeed he started to work every morning before dawn.

Even after closing the stall, there are still many things to do inside and outside the house.

The vegetables in the vegetable garden need to be watered and fertilized, weeded, and a shelf for climbing vines needs to be built for them;
The yard at home is still muddy, and it is impossible to walk when it rains, and it needs to be leveled;
Food waste in the kitchen, pots and pans need to be cleaned and dried;

You have to consider the current price of vegetables, what to cook for tomorrow's dishes, and how to keep the cost to a minimum.

After all the above things are busy, what is left for Xu Kang and Xu Le seems to be only for them to study and the short chat time before going to bed.

Thinking of this, Xu An felt a little guilty.

Isn't it just to keep them by my side, to accompany them more, and to take care of them more.

As a result, I am busy all day long, completely ignoring these two little guys.

Xu An put his hands on the small shoulders of the two, and said in a discussing tone: "From then on, my brother will set aside one day every week to play with you, okay?"

"How many days are there in a week?"

"Seven days."

"Seven days, one, two, three, four, five, so many days, I can't count them on one hand."

"Brother, can you play with us for one, two, three, three days?"

"If you play one day every three days, my brother won't be able to make money, and if you can't make money, you won't be able to buy meat. If you can't buy meat, you won't have meat to eat."

Flesh!

The eyes of the two of them lit up '噗', and then fell into a tangle of whether to go out to play or eat meat.

In the end, it was very difficult to make a decision between the two, and he sighed like an adult.

"Okay, brother, you work hard to let us eat meat."

The child's forgetfulness is extremely great, just now he looked sad, but the next second he became excited.

"Brother, where shall we go to play today?"

Well, where are we going to play? Xu An glanced at every object in the yard, and finally landed on the woodpile next to the kitchen.

After half a month of hard work, the pyre, which is as tall as a person, is now only the height of the calf.

I remember that next to Uncle Guosheng's house there was an unused homestead, and it was covered with weeds that were very suitable for firewood.

There is a bamboo forest a little farther away, and I can still collect some bamboo leaves and dry bamboo.

"How about going to the bamboo forest next to Uncle Guosheng?"

"Okay!" The two just wanted to go out and play, but they didn't care about going there.

Xu An asked the two of them to change into a set of dirty clothes. He put the iron pot in the kitchen, picked up a sickle and pinned it to his waist, found two hemp ropes and put them in his pocket, rolled up a fertilizer bag and held it in his hand .

Xu An got ready here, and walked to the door of the bedroom to see how the two of them changed their clothes.

Seeing Xu Le put the trousers on his head, but found that he couldn't put them on, he was so angry that he screamed and uttered a series of cute and meaningless syllables.

Xu Kang is a little better, the jacket is put on, but the jacket is put on backwards.

It is estimated that being strangled by the collar feels uncomfortable, so the little hand keeps pulling on the collar and dare not let go.

The other hand held the trousers with one hand, and when his fleshy calf moved, the little hand holding the trousers followed suit. After working for a long time, he couldn't put the trousers on.

Two little idiots.

Xu An walked into the bedroom dumbfounded, and tidied up the clothes for the two of them.

Uncle Guosheng’s open space was originally an old house. The owner of the house had immigrated overseas for many years. No one lived in the house. The house grew old quickly and completely collapsed after a typhoon.

Later, the family wanted to rebuild the house, leave a root for the children, and cleared the land.

But then I don't know what happened. After the cleaning, there was no movement, and the land was full of weeds.

In fact, this weed can also be called a shrub, which grows straight, with only one main trunk and no branches.

It is very easy to ignite after drying, and it burns very vigorously, which is very suitable for firewood.

Taking the two of them to the path between the wasteland and the bamboo forest, Xu An told them not to go to the river to play in the water, nor to run outside on the main road to play. After that, the two got into the bamboo forest and played hide-and-seek. .

Xu An picked up the sickle to harvest the weeds in the field, and a large piece fell down as soon as the sickle was lowered.

The process is actually quite decompressive, but it takes a lot of money.

While Xu An was busy working, two pairs of fleshy and dirty hands stretched out in front of his eyes, holding a few small purple-black fruits in their hands.

"Brother, eat fruit."

Looking at it with a fixed eye, it is nightshade fruit, which can be eaten.

Xu An was holding things in his hands, and it was inconvenient to take them to eat, so he opened his mouth wide to signal the two of them to throw them in.

After throwing these few fruits, the two seemed to be a little bit unsatisfied. They thought this little game was very fun, and they went around looking for ripe nightshade fruits.

Every time I found two or three, I came back and asked Xu An to open his mouth wide, and threw them into his mouth one by one.

Xu Kang is relatively honest, and all he finds are ripe purple-black nightshade fruits, which taste sour and sweet, and they are delicious.

Xu Le, on the other hand, had a bad stomach, and occasionally threw an immature green nightshade fruit into Xu An's mouth, which made Xu An grin his teeth, but she ran away with a 'giggle' smile.

After playing for a while, the two of them didn't know whether they had finished picking the nightshade fruit or they were tired of playing the game. They didn't come to Xu An for a long time, and they didn't make any noises.

The child is quiet, he must be playing a demon.

Xu An straightened his waist and looked around for the figures of the two with his eyes, and finally found them under the big hibiscus tree by the river.

The two little ones picked off a hibiscus flower, put the tail of the flower in their mouths, and sucked it hard.

After sucking, he threw the hibiscus flower on the ground, and there were already more than a dozen hibiscus flower remains on the ground.

"Xu Kang Xu Le!"

Hearing Xu An's shout, the two turned their heads to look at Xu An, and instead of being afraid, they reached out to pick a hibiscus flower and ran towards Xu An.

"Brother, eat it, it's sweet!"

Xu An sucked it subconsciously, and there was nectar at the end of the hibiscus flower, which was sweet.
