For these snot-nosed boys from the Xicao Brigade, today is the happiest day since they can remember. Even in the years to come, today may be the happiest time in their memories.
At this time, these children were sitting quietly on the bank of the river, drinking soft drinks that were fruity, sweet and bubbling in their mouths, and eating lamb kebabs that were rich in fat, golden and caramel, tender and delicious, Everyone's face is filled with a pure smile from the heart, so carefree.
And this soda and these meat skewers will be remembered by the children for a lifetime. Even if some of them will taste all kinds of delicacies in the future, they will still not forget the two things they ate and drank today. This will be their lifelong memory. Here, the most unforgettable delicacy!
The tall-headed and slender match stick took a cold soda bottle soaked in drinking water and took a small sip into his mouth. The cool and sweet taste made his face look happy. He was not willing to give up this rare soda bottle. The thing was swallowed directly into the stomach, but held in the mouth for a long time, until it became warm, and then reluctantly let it flow into the throat bit by bit.
"ha!"
The little guy let out a sigh of satisfaction, smacked his lips again, and then carefully placed the soda bottle in his hand on the ground beside him. The other hand brought a mutton skewer wrapped with willow branches to his mouth, and bit it hard. He took a big sip and it was so delicious that he almost bit his tongue.
While chewing the fragrant mutton in his mouth, he put his other free hand under his chin to catch the mutton fat that fell from the meat skewers. After finishing the meat in his mouth, he stretched out his hand again. He greedily licked the suet on his hands clean with his tongue, and then he continued to repeat the actions just now, taking a sip of soda, eating a bite of meat skewers, another sip of soda, and another bite of meat skewers, not for anything. Disrupting the rhythm, it seems to be performing some kind of ritual, very pious.
the other side.
Chu Heng, who had handed over the skewers to others, was eating skewers, drinking beer, talking and laughing loudly with Wan Xiaotian, Yang Qingren and others.
Ni Yinghong and Ren Yingying did not get involved with these stinky old men. The two little sisters sat next to them. While eating the novel delicacy of mutton skewers, they continued to bite their ears and talk about secret topics between women. They were wearing Yang Daidi, who was dressed in white clothes, leaned on Xiao Ni's round and slender legs, looking up at the two people, her big eyes full of confusion, not understanding what they were talking about.
A long while passed.
Match Stick finally had enough to eat and drink. He looked at the kebab stove not far away, which was still fragrant with fragrance, touched his bulging belly that could no longer hold anything, licked his oily lips regretfully, and turned his head again. Looking at Chu Heng who was holding a beer bottle in his mouth, a look of struggle appeared on his face. After a while, he got up with difficulty and walked to Chu Heng step by step with thin legs like a pole.
"uncle!"
The little guy looked at the dog-like guy in front of him, his little face turned pale, as if he was facing some savage beast, and he said tremblingly: "My mother said, you can't take other people's things for nothing. My family is poor and I have nothing to give you." , let you grab a bird."
As he spoke, he took a step forward.
"Hahaha."
"This kid is interesting!"
Looking at this little guy who looked like a grown-up, Wan Xiaotian and the others were laughing so hard.
Chu Heng smiled with interest and looked at the serious-looking little guy. He stretched out his hand and pinched his little bird hard: "Okay, no one of us owes anything to anyone anymore."
"Um!"
The little guy's little face twitched in pain, but he felt that the deal was worth it. It was just a prick, and it wouldn't break anyway, but he could get a full meal of meat and water that he had never drunk before. So he rubbed the little chick and asked Chu Heng expectantly: "Uncle, when can you treat us to mutton skewers again?"
"Haha, you little brat, you haven't even digested this meal yet, and you're thinking about it?" Chu Heng laughed and pulled the little guy over, stretched out his big hand and stroked his prickly head hard: "If you want to eat mutton skewers, go to school. When you master your knowledge, you can make a lot of money. Then you don't have to let me rob you. You can buy mutton skewers and eat as much as you want, and you can also give me money." Your parents eat it.”
"Liar!" The little guy tried hard to shake his big head, avoiding that annoying big hand, and shouted loudly: "My mother said that going to school is useless, it is better to work early to earn work points, so that the family can live a good life. , my sister is working in the team now and can earn half an adult’s work points!”
Chu Heng made a move, frowned and pressed his palm on the little guy's head to prevent him from moving. He looked at him with a straight face and said: "Little bastard, remember what uncle said. For you, knowledge is It is the most convenient opportunity to change your destiny. If you learn the knowledge, you can get out of this land, earn much more money than working in the fields, eat something more delicious than mutton skewers, and sleep until...well , Anyway, remember what I said, do you understand?"
The little guy looked at him confusedly, not understanding why he could get so many things just by learning knowledge, so he turned his attention to what he was interested in: "Uncle, there is something more delicious than mutton skewers in this world." Something?"
"go away!"
Chu Heng's face instantly darkened. He let go of his hand and lightly kicked the little guy away. He felt that he was stupid for saying this to a snot-nosed kid.
After being kicked by the matchstick, he covered his butt and ran away to play with his friends, smiling like an idiot.
Chu Heng looked at the small faces around him that were stained with oil but full of energy. He felt agitated for no reason. He drank the remaining beer in the bottle in his hand, just to drink for him. Yang Qing waved his hand and said: "Okay, no more drinking. The children are stuffed with meat and it is difficult to digest. You guys go to the village health center to see if there are hawthorn pills. If not, go and boil some hawthorn water. Bring it."
"Oh, let's go right now."
The few people who hadn't finished drinking had no choice but to give up and get up and rush to the village honestly.
"Why!"
Chu Heng sighed and shook his head, leaning back, lying on the grass, looking at the willow branches above his head, which gradually became hollow.
Ni Yinghong soon noticed that there was something wrong with her husband's mood, so she came over and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Why are you sighing so well?"
"I feel sorry for these children." Chu Heng pointed at the children with complicated eyes: "These are all uncut rough jade, but because of the ignorance of their parents and the restrictions of living conditions, they have turned into diamonds. A dusty pebble buried in an unknown place."
