However, even though I was as insignificant as a foxtail grass, I was treated specially by him.
Leng You looked up again, but saw Xiang Wentian put the dumpling into his mouth, chewed it for a moment, and then paused.
Leng You: “…”
Such mystery is somewhat comparable to her rebirth.
"Wen Tian ate peanuts again?" After all, he was his beloved son in his old age, so Xiang Huaixin noticed the clue at the first time.
"Yeah!" Xiang Wentian looked at Leng You.
Their eyes happened to meet, and they both saw a hint of confusion in each other, but they were also extremely happy.
“If we hadn’t been sitting together the whole time, I would have suspected that you had marked the dumplings in advance.
Haha...but it's really interesting."
Acorus calamus laughed.
"The two children have a good relationship. Xiaotian takes care of Youyou like his own sister. I hope they can stay this way for the rest of their lives."
There was one thing Wen Jiuyue was embarrassed to say, which was that she hoped Xiang Wentian could take care of Leng You in the future.
But the two children are too different, both in status and environment. Xiang Wentian will return to Pingdu after all, and even if Leng You succeeds in the future, he may just find a stable job in the county.
Wen Jiuyue is not the kind of person who doesn't know his limits, and he will never do anything that would be annoying or embarrassing.
"Yes, Wen Tian will take care of You girl in the future." Xiang Huaixin took over the conversation.
Although they haven't seen each other for many years, as a father I still understand my son.
Xiang Wentian had rarely played with other children since he was a child. He especially hated those delicate and crying little girls. He had a cold personality to begin with, and became even colder when facing those little girls.
The strange thing is that although all the little girls in the compound were terribly afraid of him, they still liked him very much. Whenever they saw him, they would stick to him and some would even chase him to his home.
This made little Xiang Wentian very annoyed. When he really couldn't stand it anymore, he would not say anything, but would just stare at the other person with a stern face for a few seconds, and the little girl would immediately run away crying in fear.
Although Xiang Huaixin had completely missed his son's five years of growth (he and Bai Changpu had been sent down to Daheishan Village for five years, and before that when they were sent down to the suburbs of Pingdu, they could still see Xiang Wentian for a few days a month), his wife would always give a detailed introduction to the children's situation in every letter, especially the youngest son.
I know that the only thing that has not changed about my son over the years is that he still hates those little girls and tries to avoid them as much as possible.
So when Xiang Huaixin saw Xiang Wentian's special treatment for Leng You, he was extremely surprised, but also extremely relieved, because he truly loved Leng You and believed that this was a child with a great future.
What's more, Leng You saved his life.
"Xiaotian can do it." Lian Baichangpu also affirmed it.
"Will this... cause trouble for Xiaotian?" Wen Jiuyue didn't expect Xiang Huaixin to agree first, but still looked at Xiang Wentian with some uneasiness.
"No." Xiang Wentian looked at Leng You and said two words in a low voice.
Leng You raised her head and met Xiang Wentian's eyes again. The firmness and solemnity in his eyes struck directly into her eyes and also into her heart.
A corner of the glacier seemed to tremble slightly due to the impact of a warm current.
"That's great! Thank you Brother Xiang, thank you Xiaotian, thank you all!" Wen Jiuyue's eyes turned red with excitement.
She could also vaguely feel that Xiang Huaixin and Bai Changpu would eventually return to Pingdu. Pingdu was a paradise-like place that everyone longed for, even people like her didn't even dare to yearn for.
In the eyes of not only her, but all the people in Dahei Village and even countless people living in small places, those who can live in Pingdu are like royal relatives, and they are unattainable for ordinary people like them.
Besides, Xiang Wentian is an extraordinary child at first glance, and he will become an extraordinary figure in the future. With him taking care of Leng You, Leng You's life is guaranteed.
After all, she is already fifty years old this year. After all these years of hard work, her health is not very good. If she is gone one day, she will be left alone with Leng You. Xiang Wentian's response seems to have given her closest person a guarantee.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Xiang Wentian and three others got up and left, taking some leftover rice and vegetables with them as breakfast for the next day, which has gradually become a habit.
On the first day of the new year, Leng You and Xiang Wentian still stayed in the valley. They discussed and decided to sell as many wild animals as possible before the snow melted. Otherwise, transportation would become a problem after the snow melted, and the wild animals would easily deteriorate when the temperature was high.
When wild animals can no longer be sold, they start digging medicinal herbs. They dig them while the weather is hot, and then transport them to the county town to sell them when it snows next winter.
So in the following days, the two of them hunted for prey while Xiang Wentian sawed down the dry dead trees, hoping to use them to build a house.
Xiang Huaixin knows some carpentry skills, so he has no problem making these simple things.
At the beginning, Leng You was worried about how to transport these woods up. Xiang Wentian was strong enough, but the wood used for beams and purlins was thick and long, and the valley walls were steep, so there was no way to carry them up.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Wentian was so smart that it was "outrageous". He just said coolly - "Use the pulley", which immediately stunned Leng You.
After several days of intense work, the wood needed for building the house was prepared, and Xiang Huaixin and Bai Changpu had already sawed the necessary roof boards. Even the doors, windows, furniture, etc. had taken shape, although they looked a bit rough.
The weather in the north will gradually thaw after the first month of the lunar year, so before the tenth day of the first lunar month, Leng You and Xiang Wentian went to the county town to order a few bags of cement and a small amount of blue bricks, asphalt, glass and the like.
Due to the heavy snow last winter, sledding became popular in Bei'an County, and the items they ordered were transported by sledding.
Xiang Wentian made an agreement with others and only needed to move the things outside Dahei Village.
After setting a time, on the day the goods arrived, Xiang Wentian and Leng You pulled a sled and waited at the agreed location early. As soon as the goods arrived, they loaded them onto their own sled.
Leng You stuffed a dozen large buns wrapped in a small quilt and some dried roe deer meat into the delivery man's hands for him to eat on the way.
It would take a long time to travel the more than 100 miles of mountain road even with a horse-drawn sleigh. The weather was so cold, and if it wasn't for a living, who would endure such hardship?
When settling the transportation costs, Leng You gave the deliveryman an extra twenty yuan.
The person almost shed tears of gratitude. Although she was just a little girl, it was obvious that her brother doted on her very much and remained silent about everything she did.
