Chapter 12 Befriend Yu Xiaobao

Grandma Bai ate half a plate of oil shell beetles, which aroused the gluttons, but she didn't enjoy eating them. The next day, she urged Bai Xin to go to the field to catch some for her. It happened that Bai Xin didn't want to stay at home, so she went along with the flow. .

But it had been a day since the rain, and with the fact that there were many people in the village who liked it, Bai Xin really didn't find much, and only caught less than half a bag in half a day.

Bai Xin walked into the damp grass, holding a long branch stick in one hand, but there were not only edible oil beetles in the grass, but also large mosquitoes with patterns. After a while, Bai Xin's legs The top is full of bags, connected into one piece.Bai Xin only felt the itchiness creeping into his heart. He kept scratching his legs, wishing to rub off a layer of skin. Not long after, the bags were scratched one by one, and the pain started again after being stimulated with sweat.

As he was walking, he raised his head and ran into Yu Xiaobao again.

Yu Xiaobao also saw him, his eyes lit up instantly, and he walked over a few steps, first looked at the bag on his waist, and then showed an almost flattering smile.

When Bai Xin saw Yu Xiaobao's smile, he guessed that the other party wanted something from him.

"Come to catch and touch again?"

Bai Xin nodded, and now he also saw the tin can hanging on Yu Xiaobao's body.

Yu Xiaobao glanced at Bai Xin's bag unconsciously, and said with a playful smile, "Give me some?"

Bai Xin choked, obviously he didn't expect Yu Xiaobao to ask him for it directly, he was in no hurry to agree, nor was he in a hurry to refuse.Yesterday Yu Xiaobao said that he was here to catch oil beetles for his father, with an expression of reluctance, but today he was very active, as if he wanted to catch oil beetles out of his own heart.

Yu Xiaobao also knew that he was not familiar with Bai Xin, and he also knew that the Bai family was pointing at the blind tooth-beating sacrifice, so it was impossible for Bai Xin to give it to him for no reason, so he hurriedly added: "I'll give you a money, and you arrest you Give me everything."

Bai Xin raised his eyebrows, obviously very excited about the money, but he didn't express his opinion immediately, but asked, "Your father is so good at it?"

Yu Xiaobao heyed twice in embarrassment, scratched his head, and said: "Actually, it's not my father this time... Yesterday I heard you say that it's delicious. After returning home, my mother fixed it, and my father Let me try it again, I thought that I would lose nothing if I tasted it, but in the end... hehe, I became addicted to it."

Bai Xin understands that children are so strange. He may not believe what his family says, but he will only believe it if an outsider says the same.Bai Xin asked the whole story, and wanted to make more money, but at the same time, he had concerns. Yu Xiaobao was just a child, and his pocket money would not be too much. The Yu family must have it. He told his family about buying the oil beetle. Yu Xiaobao's mother is not a cheap lamp. If she thinks that her son has been cheated, she will tell Grandma Bai about it. For this penny, I don't know what will happen.

Seeing that Bai Xin hadn't spoken for a long time, Yu Xiaobao knew that he was moved, so he stepped up and continued: "One penny, I'll just pay you for such a little nonsense, what else are you thinking about?"

Bai Xin didn't intend to make this kind of money anymore, but he didn't want to offend Yu Xiaobao, and even wanted to make friends with him, so he gritted his teeth and said pitifully, "I can't give this to you."

Yu Xiaobao didn't expect Bai Xin to refuse, and his face showed displeasure. He was about to complain when Bai Xin continued: "My grandma also wants to eat this. If I can't catch any of them, my grandma will beat me."

Yu Xiaobao had also heard about Grandma Bai's toughness. Thinking of that thin old woman, Yu Xiaobao shrank his neck, and now he was not angry with Bai Xin, and even felt that he was a little pitiful, so he looked at him with sympathy.

Bai Xin secretly glanced at Yu Xiaobao, "But if you like food, I'll give you some, don't tell my grandma."

The oil beetles that Bai Xin caught back today must have been sacrificed by grandma herself, and she would never give one to Da Fang. Instead of doing this, it is better to give some to Yu Xiaobao as a favor.

Yu Xiaobao obviously didn't expect to get some oil beetles for free without spending a single penny, this kind of pie-in-the-sky situation stunned him, and then he was overjoyed and grabbed Bai Xin, "Really? Really? You want to give it to me for nothing?"

Bai Xin nodded.

Yu Xiaobao chuckled a few times, then reached out and patted Bai Xin on the shoulder, as if meeting a happy event, seeing teeth but not eyes, "You are really interesting."

After finishing speaking, she couldn't wait to look at Bai Xin's white bag.

Bai Xin took advantage of the opportunity to untie the bag, and reached out to grab a handful. Yu Xiaobao had already opened his iron can, and moved over, staring at it with a salivating expression. Bai Xin grabbed about a dozen of them and threw them into the bag. In Yu Xiaobao's tin can, there were only a few muffled popping sounds, and one or two took the opportunity to jump out of Bai Xin's fingers, but Yu Xiaobao grabbed him.

Although Bai Xin won't be able to eat after returning home, he still has to deal with grandma, so he doesn't plan to give more.

Seeing that Bai Xin tightened the bag, Yu Xiaobao knew that he would not give it to him. He got it for nothing, so he was too embarrassed to say anything else. He tied the jar and looked at Bai Xin. Jing's eyebrows are gentle, and it seems that he has a temperament that is easy to get close to. Combined with the other party's actions just now, Yu Xiaobao has already identified Bai Xin as his little friend in his heart, and they can play together in the future, "Bai Sanlang, come and play with me from now on, two If Tiger bullies you again, you tell me, and I will beat him for you."

Bai Xin showed a shallow smile. He knew that buying Yu Xiaobao this time was more than half a success, and he just had to maintain it slowly, so regardless of whether he had time to play in the future, he nodded straightforwardly and said: "Okay, later I want to play with you, Brother Xiaobao."

Yu Xiaobao's heart was full of heroism when he was called "Brother Xiaobao", and he immediately felt like the boss of the village, and his whole body was in high spirits.

The two talked and parted. Bai Xin touched the bag on his body, and after giving some to Yu Xiaobao, he became even more deflated. He stood still and recalled the terrain of the village, wondering if there was anything left. The oil shell Where there are many beetles.

Yu Xiaobao took two steps, then stopped suddenly, his eyes rolled around a few times, he looked like a little monkey, he turned his head, watched Bai Xin's blurry back gradually drifting away, and touched his waist unconsciously, A ghostly idea came into his mind, his eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled.

Bai Xin caught some more oil beetles and went back before noon. Grandma Bai stood at the door and looked out frequently, hoping that he was almost hopeless until she saw Bai Xin's figure and walked to the door in two steps, before Bai Xin could enter the door , and asked, "How much did you catch?"

Bai Xin handed over the bag.

When Grandma Bai was asking questions, she had already seen the bag on Bai Xin's waist. The bag was shriveled, far less than yesterday. Grandma Bai was a little disappointed, and said with a droopy face, "What's the matter? Playing? Didn’t grandma catch it well?”

Bai Xin didn't care about her words at all, and took it for granted, "Grandma, many people in the village have been arrested again, and there are not many now."

Grandma Bai also knew her grandson well, and knew that Dafang's family was timid, so she just said it casually out of dissatisfaction, and didn't really think that Sanlang went to play secretly.

"Hey." Grandma Bai sighed, took the bag and walked to the kitchen, ignoring Bai Xin. Now Erlang doesn't eat a bite, and puts it on the table with a look of disgust. Grandma Bai just made it at noon. People robbed him, but they didn't serve it on the table at all. They ate it all in the kitchen. It was exactly as Bai Xin guessed at the time.

The second uncle and the second aunt are actually good at this, but Grandma Bai said that she is going to eat alone, and the two of them are not easy to open their mouths.

The second aunt Xu's face was full of displeasure in the room. When she thought of the taste of the oil shell beetle, her mouth would salivate. The second aunt pushed the second uncle, "Go to mother and ask for a bowl."

The second uncle lay motionless on the bed, "If you want to eat, you can find your mother to go."

The second aunt dared to say such a thing, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, she whispered: "How can your mother eat alone like this?"

The second uncle stared, "What did you say?"

The second aunt stopped talking, and only kept cursing "Immortal" in her heart.

She couldn't scold anyone, and always felt that she had nowhere to vent. After thinking about it, she scolded Bai Xin again, "Sanlang, too. He ran out all morning and only caught so much. He must go to play. If he catches more point, why this?"

Speaking of Sanlang, the second uncle didn't care, squinted his eyes and hummed a few times, and fell asleep accompanied by ugly curses.

The second aunt saw that her man was asleep, and no one listened to her venting, and she was even more angry, but she didn't dare to wake up the sleeping man loudly, so she had to stare for a while, and then went to the kitchen with an excuse to see if there was any leftovers. .

In the next few days, Bai Xin went to catch some oil beetles again, but there were fewer and fewer of them, and all of them were Granny Bai who ate alone, and the second aunt was holding her breath and drooping all day.

Seeing that the road was gradually returning to normal, Bai Xin thought about going to the mountains again to gather some Radix Cyanodermis in the name of picking wild vegetables, but before he had time to speak, he ran into the muzzle of the gun as soon as he returned home.

Grandma Bai and Mrs. Xu stood in the yard with cold eyes and hinted anger. Apart from being angry, Mrs. Xu was also a little gloating. The Sanfang family was always watching the fun, and the mother and eldest sister looked worried.

As soon as Bai Xin entered the door, Grandma Bai rushed over in three steps at a time, carried him to the middle of the yard like a chicken, shoved him casually, and then punched him on the back twice in frustration, before making a rough voice. He asked in a rough tone, "Where did you hide the money?"
