Chapter 155: Don't Laugh at the Turbid Wax Wine of the Farmhouse

Zhao Gen pointed to the woman who stood up on the ground and said: "This is your Old Aunt, and that is your sister-in-law's younger sister, Ya Ping."

Li Xuewu called "Old Aunt" to the somewhat restrained woman.

Zhao Gen's wife nodded uncomfortably and said hello. She was clearly a traditional rural woman, a bit afraid of Li Xuewu wearing a uniform.

Perhaps looking at Li Xuewu's clothes and face, the mother and daughter were a bit restrained, especially Li Xuewu's face, which looked a bit scary.

Li Xuewu took out a cloth bag of sugar balls he had bought earlier from his pocket, opened the bag, and handed it to the girl named Ya Ping.

The girl was wearing a dark-patterned cotton-padded jacket and trousers with patches, with black feet standing beside her mother. The ground was very cold, and the two small feet were curled up and stepped on the ground alternately. The cotton clothes and trousers looked like they were changed from the old clothes of her brothers and sisters. Perhaps because too many people had worn them, the cuffs and hem were worn out to reveal cotton.

The girl was a bit greedy for the sugar handed to her, but also a bit afraid of the fierce man in front of her, even though this man was trying his best to smile.

Looking at her daughter who was hugging her leg and hiding behind her, Zhao Gen's wife said embarrassedly: "What are you doing? She doesn't eat it, you take it back quickly."

Zhao Gen also persuaded from the side: "What kind of sugar does a child eat? Xuewu, take it back quickly. I'm grateful enough that your father sent grain to our house, so don't spend any more money."

Li Xuewu smiled and stuffed the sugar bag into the girl's hand, saying: "Old Uncle, Old Aunt, it's my first time here, how can I come empty-handed? We are one family, don't be polite with me."

The girl tightly grasped the sugar bag Li Xuewu gave her, stared at Li Xuewu with big eyes, and looked up at her mother.

Li Xuewu laughed and said: "Second brother gave it to you, so you take it, why look at your mother?"

Zhao Gen's wife said to Li Xuewu embarrassedly: "Then... then thank you, Xuewu," and then said to her daughter: "Call Second Brother."

"Second Brother..." The girl's voice was a bit small.

"Hey," Li Xuewu responded with a smile, and then said to Zhao Gen's wife: "Old Aunt, you are polite, hurry up and hold her on the kang, the ground is cold."

The few people were talking politely, and they were let onto the head of the kang by the old man, and Li Xuewu followed onto the kang.

Seeing Li Xuewu wearing a new police uniform, the old lady was afraid that the kang mat woven from sorghum stalks would dirty Li Xuewu's clothes, and wanted her daughter-in-law to take a quilt to pad it underneath, but was hurriedly stopped by Li Xuewu.

This was not an outsider's house, so he had to support his eldest brother's face. If he padded it with a quilt on the kang mat, what would it look like? He would never do this at an outsider's house either.

He took off his leather shoes and sat cross-legged next to Old Master Zhao, and Li Xuewen followed his brother and sat down.

Seeing that Li Xuewu could sit cross-legged on the kang, the emotions of the Zhao family were all eased. Although they were city people, those who could sit cross-legged on the kang were all simple people.

Zhao Gen's wife took the sugar bag from the girl's hand, took out a piece and handed it to the girl, comforted her and hugged her onto the kang, and then took the sugar bag and stuffed it into the cabinet at the end of the kang.

The girl held the candy in her hand, stared at her mother, and seeing her mother come back, she carefully peeled off the candy paper and licked it little by little, looking like she was eating some peerless delicacy.

Finally, she put the candy in her mouth, carefully folded the candy paper and put it into the small pocket on her clothes, and then sat at the end of the kang with the candy in her mouth, looking at the man who came with her brother-in-law.

Zhao Gen's wife put away the bag, went to the kitchen to get rice bowls, took a thermos, poured a few bowls of hot water, and handed them to Li Xuewu and the others.

Li Xuewu responded politely to Old Master Zhao's enthusiastic greetings, and at the same time thanked Zhao's aunt who gave him hot water.

At this time, the three brothers who had finished unloading the car and carried the grain to the west room entered the house.

Zhao Gen sat on the edge of the kang and pointed to the three young men standing in order from tall to short: "This is your eldest brother, Zhao Yajun, this is your second brother, Zhao Yamin, and this is your third brother, Zhao Yating."

After speaking, he said to his sons: "This is your brother-in-law's second brother, he is older than you, you call him Second Brother."

"Second Brother," "Second Brother."

"Second Brother..."

Li Xuewu had already looked at the three brothers of the eldest sister-in-law when he entered the courtyard. Although they were wearing old clothes, their spirits were not bad, but their nutrition couldn't keep up, and they all looked a bit dark, thin, and thin.

Li Xuewu stood up and was about to get off the kang. This was his brother's brother-in-law, so he couldn't stand on the kang to greet him, especially for the first time.

Seeing Li Xuewu about to get up, Old Master Zhao pressed him down with one hand, saying: "It's not an outsider, don't be polite, he is your sister-in-law's brother, so he is your brother, don't be polite."

Li Xuewu couldn't get off the kang, so he could only smile apologetically and say to the three brothers: "Then I won't get off the kang. Brothers, don't be restrained. We are not outsiders. Your sister is like my own sister. Although we are meeting for the first time, don't be polite."

Saying that, he took out a cigarette and asked: "Yajun, Yamin, do you smoke?"

Zhao Yamin shook his head.

Zhao Yajun looked at his father, reached out to take the cigarette, lit it himself, and walked back to the wall to stand.

Zhao Gen smiled and said: "The eldest doesn't study, so he followed me to work to earn work points and learned to smoke. The second boy is still studying."

Li Xuewu nodded with a smile: "Very good, you can't smoke when reading, it's easy to hurt your body."

It was just 10 o'clock when he entered the courtyard. After chatting for a while, it was time for lunch.

Zhao Gen's wife got up to go to the kitchen to prepare food. Zhao Gen sat on the edge of the kang and said to his eldest son: "Eldest, go kill the chicken, clean it up, and let your mother stew it."

Li Xuewu hurriedly reached out to stop him, saying: "Old Uncle, absolutely not. If you do this, the two of us will go back now, and I won't dare to come next time."

Zhao Yajun was caught by Li Xuewu and couldn't go out, so he looked at his father.

Zhao Gen saw Li Xuewu's firm attitude and said bitterly: "This... this... Xuewu, the family only has that chicken to entertain you, look..."

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Old Uncle, why do you treat me as an outsider? Are there any frozen cabbages? Fry me some frozen cabbages, and pour some sauce, I just like this."

"The Point Guard is Here"

"How can this be?"

Seeing his father in a dilemma, Zhao Yajun said to his father: "Dad, I'll go up the mountain to see if there is anything in the trap set yesterday."

Zhao Gen thought for a while and said: "Let your second brother go with you, take the fork and the gun."

Zhao Yajun agreed and was about to leave, and Zhao Yamin also walked out.

Li Xuewu took the opportunity to get off the kang and stopped them: "You two wait a moment, I'll follow, let's ride the bike up, it's faster."

Zhao Gen hurriedly stopped him and said: "Why are you following? The wind on the mountain is strong, it's cold, and it's fierce to encounter wild animals."

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "It's okay, my body is numb from working, and I hunted a wild boar after I was transferred back. I'll go up the mountain to see today." ===== CHAPTER 156 =====
