Chapter 18 The Symbol of the Word "Yan"

Lingxi and Pei Xuan couldn't help laughing.

Pei Xuan was now in a good mood. "Let's go find our second brother. Before it gets dark, let's go give our third uncle a cantaloupe."

Lingxi's eyes sparkled, yes, yes!

Going to cause trouble!

Lingxi is so happy!

She sent the wooden box back and put it away. When she left, Pei Xuan and Pei Yu were already waiting for her.

At this time, little Minghui was doing horse stance in the yard.

Many years ago, Uncle Pei and his brothers were serious young masters who dabbled in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, archery, horse riding and shooting.

Peijia Village is surrounded by mountains. Many villagers go into the mountains to hunt, and some of them have some martial arts skills. It is not uncommon for Pei's family members to practice martial arts among these people.

Minghui, a tiny little kid, started practicing basic skills by doing horse stance when he was four years old. His brothers Pei Jin, Pei Yu, Pei Xuan and even Pei Furui also went through the same process.

Pei Xuan teased Minghui casually, remembering that Minghui was with the old lady all day long.

When Lingxi goes out, they might still be at home!

Pei Xuan just asked casually, but he didn't expect that little Minghui actually knew the answer.

As Lingxi walked over, she heard little Minghui's frightened face.

"My aunt used our hammer to smash the lock open, and then she opened the box happily.

Later she said something like it was impossible, it was impossible, there must be something she didn't find.

Then he held the box and banged it on the ground, mumbling something about interlayer and interlayer. "

He squatted in a standard horse stance, but that didn't stop him from grinning and imitating Pei Bok Joo's expression at the time.

Lingxi and her two siblings were stunned when they heard this.

Ah, this...

How can this be the appearance that a dowry box given by God should have?

Pei Yu asked Pei Xuan and Ling Xi: "Are you two still going?"

He had to go, if not today then tomorrow. The cantaloupe had already been taken out, so he might as well send it over now.

Lingxi and Pei Xuan looked at each other and said, "Go!"

We have come this far...

Besides, it’s still not confirmed whether the box was made by their uncle!
Little Minghui looked eager and wanted to go and play with them.

The three siblings threw away the things after using them, showing no sympathy at all. They waved goodbye calmly and left without taking a single cloud with them.

Little Minghui: “…”

Bullying children is bad!
When the three siblings arrived next door, Pei Bozhu and Pei Furui said they had gone out to catch cicada monkeys and had not returned yet, Uncle Pei was sharpening his sickle in the yard by himself, and Aunt Pei was said to have gone to chat with someone under the old tree at the entrance of the village.

Uncle Pei was very happy to see them. He stood up and took them into the house.

"Pei Yu is back. How many days will he stay at home this time?" Pei Yu is in the transport team, so he can rest for a few days after each trip.

That's why Uncle Pei asked this.

Pei Yu put the cantaloupe on the table and said with a smile, "Three days. Tomorrow, ask Pei Xuan to take a leave and go into the mountains with me. We will pick some grapes and bring some back for Uncle San to eat."

It was Pei Xuan who discovered the grapes, and he asked Pei Xuan to take a day off and lead the way for him.

After returning from the mountains, I will work in the village for two days. Strictly speaking, this does not count as delaying the busy farming season.

In this case, the village will approve it.

Pei Xuan and Lingxi were originally walking together, but halfway through, Lingxi noticed the familiar pile of rotten wood chips at the door of the kitchen, so she pulled Pei Xuan over. Uncle Pei glanced at Lingxi and Pei Xuan squatting at the door of the kitchen, thinking that the siblings were bored, so he didn't care much and only talked to Pei Yu.

“The grapes I brought back last year were really delicious, sweeter than those grown by villagers, so it would be nice to pick more this year.

If you can't finish it, you can ask your grandmother to help make some wine."

Pei Yu hummed: "This time the timing is just right, otherwise if I were to rely on Pei Xuan to go by himself, I don't know when he would be able to take the leave!"

It's the busy farming season now, so it's really hard to take a day off.

He thought of something and continued, "We'll hunt some more meat when the time comes. We need to nourish the family well, otherwise we'll be exhausted..."

Pei Yu talked about a lot of trivial things, telling Uncle Pei about everything, and his main purpose was to cover Lingxi and Pei Xuan and buy time for them.

Pei Xuan and Ling Xi lived up to their expectations. They actually found the familiar "Yan" mark in the pile of rotten wood that had been broken into pieces.

Lingxi: “…”

Pei Xuan: “…”

!!!

The two looked at each other in shock, with extremely complicated feelings.

The brother and sister were still in shock until Pei Yu called them home.

Since they were at Uncle Pei's place and it was not convenient to talk, Pei Yu did not ask anything. But judging from Lingxi and Pei Xuan's reactions, there was basically no need to ask.

When the three siblings arrived home, little Minghui had already finished squatting in horse stance for half an hour and was being bathed in a wooden tub. The three of them went to Lingxi's east wing together.

This place is far enough away from Uncle Pei's home that Pei Xuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Tsk, isn't this embarrassing." They were really sure that the box was made by their uncle.

They had thought that if they wanted to see the box, they would have to go through a lot of trouble, but they didn't expect that the box was right at the doorstep of their kitchen, and it was smashed to pieces.

The wood, which had already rotted, was probably dismantled violently by external force when looking for the interlayer, and it was really broken into pieces, and there was a lot of sawdust.

Pei Xuan and Pei Lingxi spent quite a bit of time there.

Pei Yu was speechless: "What on earth does she want?"

If Pei Fuzhu had not been in their village, which was surrounded by mountains and difficult for outsiders to enter, she would have been caught long ago.

This is pure feudal superstition!

God loves his daughter. If she uses their words, why doesn’t she go straight to heaven?

Pei Yu usually doesn't complain, unless he really can't help it.

Lingxi looked at the roof silently, and she said, how could God's gift be so shabby?

At that time, I was thinking, maybe it was just shabby on the surface, but the things in the box were actually very valuable!

She put the matter behind her for the time being and took the two brothers to get the chilled cantaloupe and cut it.

"The bad thing about summer is that things can't be stored." Pei Xuan felt a little regretful, "If I had known last winter, I should have been more diligent and stocked up the ice in your icehouse in the yard.

Now, if you put meat, fruits, etc. in the ice cellar, they won’t go bad for three to five days. It’s not like now, when you dare not leave food overnight.”

He suddenly thought of something and reminded Lingxi, "Lingxi, if you don't eat the buns tonight, don't forget to put them by the stove to bake or steam them before going to bed, otherwise they will taste bad if you eat them tomorrow morning."

He knew Lingxi's appetite well, and she would most likely save the buns for tomorrow morning, so he reminded her this only time.

"Yeah!" Lingxi was busy eating melon and caught the key words a beat late.

"Ice cellar?!" How could she not know that there was such a good thing in her yard? !
