Chapter 169: Cannon Fodder Brother’s Golden Finger Brother
Inexplicably, something strange appeared at the door...
Pei Xinglin frowned and stared at the basket that could be called big or cute.
Suddenly, the thin towel moved slightly up and down under Pei Xinglin's eyes. After that, there was a small round thing that bulged out.
Round, bald, and small, it resembles a child's fist and a kitten's paw. Things that look like this do not make people feel threatening when they first see it. Therefore, Pei Xinglin stood there. The ground didn't move.
"Wow-woo-"
However, the unknown thing in the basket seemed to feel that the people outside did not take it seriously. Perhaps the child who had been looking forward to it for a long time was impatient, so he made a wow sound. .
Is it a baby? !
At this time, Pei Xinglin couldn't stand anymore. He half-bent his body, picked up the basket, and then pulled open the thin blanket - a
fleshy little baby with half-open eyes?
I saw that inside the basket, which was about 70 centimeters long, sleeping was a small, white, fat doll wearing only a red bellyband.
The child's hair is black, slightly long and curly. The weather is too hot, and the ends of the child's hair are wet. The little face is also pink, as tender as a peach with water drops. The little white arms and legs are white and pink because the child is too white and also because of the heat. He only wears a red bellyband, and there is a small anklet with several small gold ornaments hanging on his little feet. That little jiojio also has white insteps and is as chubby as a bun.
Very cute.
...
The little baby seemed to see this tall giant looking at him, so his round little face twisted and his little hands stretched out towards him. He didn't cry. He looked very well-behaved and kind. Very proactive.
Pei Xinglin was stunned. He was stunned because such a child suddenly appeared at the door, but he was not afraid, doubtful, or anxious about anything. He even had a good impression of this child who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Hold! Hug!" When the child saw this giant being frightened, he didn't care about himself. He clenched his little hands into fists and rubbed his eyes, then stretched out his little hands. His little red mouth was like a bird that had been hungry for a long time and was about to eat. He eagerly let his brother hold him.
Pei Xinglin picked up the child, shook it, and found a slightly thick envelope dropped on the small blanket covering the child's belly.
"Is this yours?" Pei Xinglin pointed to the envelope on the ground and asked. He had no idea whether this little child could speak or anything like that. Fortunately, such a young child can actually talk.
"Yeah!" The child in Pei Xinglin's arms nodded his head, put his warm little hands around his neck, and said, "Pick it up for brother Kang, brother Kang."
When Pei Xinglin heard this, he saw the child so complacent. He raised his eyebrows with a familiar gesture, and then picked it up.
open.
"Dear brother (Pei Xinglin):
Brother, I am Xiaotu. (Brother will recognize me as soon as he looks at me. He will know that I am Xiaotu.) I am my brother's younger brother. I also like Xiaotu very much. ...My brother will have some difficulties in this world (because there are some reasons that Xiaotu can't tell, and my brother will know it later), but it doesn't matter, I brought my brother two land deeds, brother, let's open a shop together~ Little Rabbit wants to open a small hotel and become the curator~"
Little Rabbit who loves her brother~"
There are only a few words, and Pei Xinglin read it all at once. He finished reading, and then looked at the little rabbit in his arms. Guy. This little thing is looking at him expectantly with his big eyes open.
"Is this yours?" So you are still a little God of Wealth? "He shook the envelope, and then two slightly thick and yellowish things fell out of the envelope.
When he unfolded it, this land deed looked slightly older... Sannan Village.
"Brother —" the child shouted again.
"Are you Little Rabbit? "Pei Xinglin looked at the child in his arms. Just like what he said in the letter, he felt different when he saw him. Pei Xinglin had also seen many children, but he didn't like children. He saw He never likes children, no matter how cute or bearish they are, he doesn't like them, but when he sees this child, he likes them
regardless of his cute little face or his long curly hair . He likes the big eyes with eyelashes.
"Yes, Xiaotu is Xiaotu. Xiaotu is also called Pei Duoyue. Xiaoduoyue is the same as his brother. "
Not only does he like children, but the children are also very close to him. They like him very much. They hug him tightly with their little hands and speak softly. This is the first time for Pei Xinglin to have such contact with cute animals. As expected, children are very charming. Cure.
"Brother, you will know later, Xiaotu, and brother are together. "After the little guy finished speaking, he pointed to the basket below with his little hand.
Pei Xinglin squatted down with the child in his arms and completely opened the blanket. It turned out that there was a bank card under the blanket.
"Here it is, brother. "Xiao Duoyue was very generous. She waved her little hand, and the flesh on her belly wearing a little red bellyband also trembled.
"Give this to me too? "Although Pei Xinglin said this, he naturally reached out and took it. Indeed, just as the letter said, he accepted everything about this child from the bottom of his heart. It was a feeling in the dark.
"Here . , to my brother. "Xiao Duoyue took the card and stuffed it into Pei Xinglin's arms. If he hadn't been too young, he would have looked like a tyrant in today's novels, with an air of spending money like water.
...
Where Pei Xinglin lives now The house is a simple one-bedroom, one-bathroom building. On the left side of the door is a small bathroom of less than two square meters. When entering, there is a room of about ten square meters. Pei Xinglin tried his best to use simple partitions to separate one bedroom and one living room. There was a bed inside and a desk outside.
The room was very hot, especially at noon, and the room looked like a steamer. Looking at the child's red face, Pei Xinglin went to the bathroom to get some cold water and used a wet towel. I wiped the child's body from time to time,
talked to the child for a while, looked at the two land deeds, then looked at the little pink shrimp-like brother, and then looked at the steamer-like room... Since I already wanted it. This place is not suitable for raising a child, nor is it suitable for a job, not to mention that I can't find a job, and I won't be able to find one in the future
... I have decided to go to Qingyun Mountain, which is written on the land deed, so now. The house issue needs to be dealt with.
The house problem is easy to solve, because he doesn’t have enough money to deposit one and pay three, so he first looked for a house that can be rented every month. Now this house is located in a village in the city. Anyway, he is a boy, tall and strong, so there is no need to pay attention to safety
...
----------------------------. -------------------
Standing at the entrance of the village with the words 'Three Difficulties Village', Pei Xinglin's memory of this place floated out of the depths of his mind. .
He was born in Sannan Village. However, after his parents died when he was eight years old, his family's house and land were occupied by relatives. After he was sent to an orphanage, he never returned to this village. This place, and is full of hatred for everything here.
"Are you a little fairy or something?" Pei Xinglin couldn't help but ask, holding the suitcase in one hand and the fat baby in the other.
When he was thinking about how to travel and whether this little milk baby could take the train, there was suddenly an extra page in his household registration book, which said "Pei Duoyue" male "brother"... .This little boy has become his younger brother in his household register, and he is a serious family. Now, his younger brother and this land deed have brought him back to this place.
Sannan Village is now even more different from when he was a child, and the houses are a little dilapidated. Looking from a distance, every family's cabin still has familiar things hung on it, but the roads on both sides are wider.
After walking along the cement road for a while, the road under our feet changed from cement road to bluestone, and we arrived at the real entrance of the village. There were also two groups of people sitting here, either playing cards or chess or just sitting around. chat.
Pei Xinglin's hearing was very good, and he could hear the discussion about him without lowering the voice. Everyone was saying that he was here for a trip.
Sannan Village is a small village near the south. It has big mountains and a small river. There are many such small villages in the south, so Sannan Village itself is unremarkable. However, this small village belongs to Wuwei Town, and Qingyun Mountain Part of the mountain is located in Wuwei Town, which also causes some tourists who come to climb Qingyun Mountain to settle in nearby towns and villages.
"Young man, you look strange. Are you here to visit Qingyun Mountain?" Another aunt called out to Pei Xinglin, "Why are you coming to our village as a tourist? We have no place to live here."
"Yes, young man, if you come " Tourist, I see you are still carrying your suitcase and it is difficult to leave. You should find another place to stay. We don't have a place to stay in Sannan Village."
"Auntie, I am not staying in the hotel. I am going back to my hometown, my home. " Right here." Pei Xinglin said.
"Huh? Whose family are you from?" The aunt looked surprised. After she finished speaking, she turned to her sisters and said, "These children grow up so fast now that they can't recognize each other after a few years." "
Yes. Ah, yes, he is so handsome. If he were from our village, I would be impressed too."
When she said this, her little sisters also agreed.
Pei Xinglin said a name.
"Pei Da? Are you from his family? Isn't his family dead? No one is alive? Poor, good people don't live long."
"Yes, and Pei Sanniu and Pei Sizhu are also dead. These two families It's not just something that belongs to his brother. Look, God is watching what you do. If the whole family is not dead, what's the use of occupying that land
? ask.
"Dead Jue, there is only one girl in Pei Sanniu's family. I don't know where she got married a long time ago. She hasn't come back for more than ten years. I heard that she and Pei Sanniu had fallen out a long time ago. Pei Sizhu's family is even more Needless to say, Pei Sizhu died early. He only had one son. The son also died at a young age. I heard that it was because of smoking that he didn’t have any children. Wouldn’t this mean that the family was extinct? At the beginning, Pei Sanniu had a girl.
"Look, you still have to believe some of these things. I said that the land where their house is located is not good. The door faces the main road. There are too many traffic accidents on that road. Moreover , The old people said that the land was not good. Pei Sanniu had bad legs when he was young, and Pei Sizhu also had bad legs. "
...
The ladies said that they had forgotten about Pei Xinglin. It was only when Xiao Duoyue made another sound that these ladies looked at Pei Xinglin.
"You! Are you Pei Da's child? Pei Da's son has grown so big? Are you coming back?"
Pei Xinglin's father's generation has a total of four brothers. Pei Xinglin's father, Pei Da, was drowned when he was playing in the water when he was a child. , Pei Sanniu and Pei Sizhu grew up safely, but when their brother Pei Dazhu passed away in his prime, the two of them did not talk about brotherhood, and did not care about their nephew's life or death. They even occupied the nephew's house and the nephew's land. My nephew was thrown into an orphanage in another city.
Now, the land deeds given by Xiao Duoyue to Pei Xinglin are the land deeds of Pei Da and Pei Sizhu's houses. It is said that there is also a will, which can prove that these houses were inherited by Pei Xinglin.
"Yes, my father is Pei Da." Pei Xinglin nodded.
"This..." After receiving Pei Xinglin's confirmed answer, the ladies were speechless. However, they turned around and said, "My child, you want to stay in the old house tonight, that's not okay, right? How long has it been since anyone lived in that house? "
"You old fool, you are confused again. The house that the two brothers bought with Pei Da's money was only about ten years ago. That house is newer than yours. That is. In the past two years, Pei's family has been small, so the house has been vacant because it can't be lived in, but someone has cleaned it. "
"Look, it's still the same sentence, God is watching what you do, so what's the use of building that house. "
The ladies continued, and after hearing a few words, Pei Xinglin said goodbye and went to his own home.
...
"Brother, this way." Xiao Duoyue pointed the way.
Nowadays, in the village, there are either cement roads or bluestone pavements, even in the alleys. The bluestone pavements are also deliberately old bluestone pavements. The roads are flat and smooth, so walking is not strenuous at all.
Passing by two thin alleys, there are narrow and tall wooden doors in the alleys, with red lanterns hanging on the doors, like every house.
"How come you know everything?" Pei Xinglin followed his brother without any hesitation.
"Because, because Little Rabbit is a little fairy." The child laughed at his brother's words, hugged his brother's neck, and laughed.
In fact, Pei Xinglin roughly remembers the location of his home, but more than ten years have passed, and the village has still built roads and some people have built houses, so the appearance has changed, so Pei Xinglin is not very familiar with it after all.
However, when he heard the child say this and saw how happy he looked, he inexplicably wanted to pinch the child's face, but now his hands were occupied and he could not pinch the child's cheek.
......------------------------------------------------ Follow
According to the aunt, the house was built after he was thrown into the orphanage, which was about ten years ago.
Pei Xinglin took a look and saw that a house was indeed relatively new. It was a three-story building. Pei Xinglin looked outside at the house that was now built on the ground of his house. Fifty meters further to the side, there is a wooden second floor. This is the house of Pei Sizhu's family, but it looks like it has been renovated.
The houses of the older generation here are all made of wood, and everyone likes to live in such houses. Although this small second floor is a bit old in comparison, perhaps because Pei Xinglin is used to seeing the city's concrete, he still feels that such a small second floor is quite comfortable.
......------------------------ A long time ago, the land in this kind of village near the mountains was not valuable at all. In such a village,
everyone
I don't like it either. Everyone still prefers towns. What they like most is big cities. Life is so convenient there. You can buy whatever you want and wear whatever you want. It doesn't have to be like their village. No matter what you want to buy, there are many places. He couldn't get out of the mountain, so he had to wait for the salesman to come over.
There are fewer people and more land in the mountains, so every household has a large yard. However, even seven or eight years ago, such a large amount of land was not worth much, and every household, young and old, still wanted to move to the city, or move to the town if that didn't work. Moreover, some strange things always happen in their village, so there are fewer and fewer people in the village.
Pei Xinglin opened the courtyard and went in.
As soon as you enter the door, there is a screen wall with a red sun and river painted on it. When you enter, there is a small path in the middle. The vegetable beds framed by thin bamboos on both sides are empty and covered with weeds. The side room next to it has been empty because there is no one, so the yard is a bit... It was cold and cold. Walking further inside, there were two large water tanks, but now the large water tank was also covered with green hair. Pei Xinglin smelled something bad. It turned out that there was still water in the tank, and the water was green. Yes, I don’t know how long it has been there.
Going forward, there are fences on both sides, and there are two small houses of about eight square meters on the right. After this small house, there is a small enclosed flower garden, and after that, there is a place about two and a half meters wide. After the bluestone slab, there is a three-story building.
Pei Xinglin remembered that his yard was relatively large, and there should be a yard behind it, perhaps it was used by them to grow things.
The three-story building is a large room, but only the first floor has some things placed and decorated. The other second and third floors are empty, and each room only has a white wall. Because there was nothing, the house did look tidy, but there was a layer of dust on the table and floor, indicating that no one had lived in this house for a long time.
People here like to build houses as big as they can, but they don't care much about the decoration inside, let alone the soft furnishings inside.
Pei Xinglin walked around and found that he lacked everything. It was still difficult to open a small hotel here. Mainly, he found that Sannan Village is close to Wuwei Town and Qingyun Mountain. Logically speaking, it is relatively simple to open a small B&B and inn, but no one in Sannan Village has opened a hotel. This is a very strange thing. , Pei Xinglin still needs to find out if there is any reason for this, and also see if there are any taboos.
"Brother—" Xiao Duoyue stood on the ground, sticking her little head out, and followed her brother.
The little guy's face was a little red and he was a little nervous. "Brother, isn't this house bad?" He grabbed his brother's pants with his little hands.
Pei Xinglin looked at the child's nervous look and smiled, "Brother is already satisfied with two yards and two houses for free. Is the house good? What's more, this house is very good. Brother will just clean it up and it will be fine." .
This house looks empty, but it’s actually pretty good to be empty like this. It’s relatively easy to clean up.
This house is quite new, and it should be built according to the drawings. There is one on the second and third floors. The large terrace is suitable for anything.
While Pei Xinglin was looking at the house and planning how to change it, there was a sudden banging sound on the door outside,
"Pei's baby, are you there? "It sounded like an elderly voice.
Pei Xinglin didn't dare to let his brother stay here alone in this strange old house, so he picked up his brother and opened the door.
At the door, there was an elderly grandfather. , with thin white hair, a goatee, and squinted eyes, saw Pei Xinglin coming out and said, "It's Pei Da's, Xinglin's baby, right?" "
"yes. Pei Xinglin replied. He looked at the old man again and said, "You are Grandpa Zhang." "
Grandpa Zhang used to come to his house to drink with his grandfather, but his grandfather passed away when he was six years old.
"You have a pretty good memory, little kid. The old man laughed a few times, then handed over the basket in his hand, "My dear, these are the vegetables I picked from home for dinner."
"Thank you, Grandpa Zhang. " "Pei Xinglin took it.
In this way, Grandpa Zhang saw Xiao Duoyue and asked, "This is it?" Your son?
"No, this is my brother. " "
When Grandpa Zhang heard this, he glanced at Xiao Duoyue again, praised him as a good boy, and didn't say much.
"Are you coming back for a visit or are you staying in our village? "Grandpa Zhang asked.
"I won't leave when I get back. Then I'll open a B&B or do something else. "Pei Xinglin said that he also wanted to take this opportunity to inquire about the news.
"Open a B&B? Grandpa Zhang looked at the sun and squinted his eyes, "My dear, listen to Grandpa Zhang's advice. Our village cannot open a B&B." "
...
Pei Xinglin carried his brother home. The sun had already set. The big white wall LED lights cooled down the hot summer.
"Are you hungry, little rabbit? "He patted his brother's butt. Today, the little guy is wearing a set of clothes that Pei Xinglin bought at a street store. They are only cute but not of high quality. The price is very cheap, but the little guy is beautiful and looks cute no matter what he wears.
"Hungry~" The little guy said while pretending to swallow,
"How to eat here. "Pei Xinglin looked at the kitchen outside. It was very dirty. Pei Xinglin would never use it until it was cleaned.
"It needs to be cleaned quickly. "Pei Xinglin said to himself, then went to find his suitcase.
His suitcase contained a lot of instant noodles and other quick-to-eat items, "How about my brother making instant noodles for Xiaotu today. "
"OK. "Xiao Duoyue nodded, whatever her brother said was fine.
When her brother went to cook noodles, Xiao Duoyue followed her brother and looked around. Suddenly, she ran out.
"Xiaotu, it's time to eat. "Pei Xinglin called his brother while holding three cups of instant noodles.
Instant noodles are not healthy, but the taste is indeed fragrant. Pei Xinglin also cracked three eggs brought by Grandpa Zhang on top and threw in two small lettuces, which made it even more fragrant. Xiao
Duoyue heard her brother calling her and came in after smelling the smell
. "The little guy came in, sniffing his nose happily, with his little hands still protecting his belly. His clothes were pocketed, and there were four or five juicy peaches in his pockets.
