Um-------

The next day, just as dawn, a rooster cries came from outside the window.

Then, all the roosters in the village started to scream. One louder and one louder, it was as if urging people to get up.

Because he was used to getting up early when working outside, Wang Zhen also woke up after being called by the rooster.

It has been only a dozen days since the Chinese New Year. The Nanhe River belongs to the north, so naturally it inevitably becomes colder. Wang Zhen, who sat up from the quilt, only felt a gust of cold wind blowing and shivering.

"Brother, why don't you sleep for a while?"

Wang Liang asked while rubbing his sleepy head with fluffy eyes and tightly nestled in the quilt.

"Haha, when you work outside, you always get up at half past six. You are used to getting up early. When the rooster screams, you can't fall asleep."

Wang Zhen answered while tightly wrapping the quilt on his body.

"Xiao Zhen, why did you wake up so early?"

On the other bed, Grandpa Wang, who had already woken up, also asked when he heard Wang Zhen wake up.

"Haha, grandpa, I'm used to getting up early and can't fall asleep as soon as I wake up."

Wang Zhen felt the cold and shrank back into the quilt and replied.

The Wang family is relatively poor, with only two bedrooms and one living room.

Therefore, when I went to bed last night, Wang Zhen not only slept with his grandparents in the same room, but also had the same bed with Wang Liang.

"Then let's lie down for a while and wait until your mother prepares the meal before getting up. It's so cold! Why do you get up so early?"

After putting on the bed, Grandma Wang sat up and heard Wang Zhen's words, she smiled and persuaded her.

"Yeah, then I'll lie down for a while."

Wang Zhen, who felt the chill, nodded in agreement and tried to continue sleeping, but he found that he could not sleep.

"Forget it, let's play with your phone." Wang Zhen thought.

"Little kid, I'm up for dinner! I don't know how long it took, but Wang Zhen, who was reading the novel, suddenly heard his mother calling him."

"Here! Mom! Get up now."

Wang Zhen put out his phone and put on his clothes.

"Brother, I'm getting up, where is our mother asking us to have a meal?"

"Grandpa, grandma, get up, it's time to have a meal."

Wang Zhen shouted while putting on his clothes.

"Okay! Get up!"

Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang, who had already woken up, also put on their clothes after hearing Wang Zhen's words.

"Brother, you guys eat! I'm not hungry, let me sleep for a while."

When Wang Liang heard Wang Zhen calling him and pulled open the quilt, he felt the chill. He liked the lazy bed and was reluctant to get up.

"Haha, you're not afraid that my dad will call you later!"

Wang Zhen saw it and said with a wicked smile.

"Then forget it! I'll get up."

As soon as Wang Zhen mentioned his father, Wang Liang lifted the quilt and quickly put on his clothes.

After putting on his clothes for a while, Wang Zhen saw that it was already seven o'clock. Then, Wang Zhen and Grandma Wang, who had already put on his clothes, helped Grandpa Wang walk towards the stove room.

Breakfast in rural areas is very simple. Generally, it is to distille some steamed buns, stir-fry some vegetables, and then cook a pot of porridge or gnocchi.

Wang Zhen’s breakfast was a little richer because of his return, including corn sprouts, steamed buns, more than a dozen salted duck eggs and seven or eight eggs.

Salted duck eggs and steamed buns are a typical way to eat them in some places in Nanhe, but how to eat them is different from those outside.

People outside eat salted duck eggs and peel off the skin.

However, when people in rural Nanhe eat salted duck eggs, they usually open a mouth in the big head because the big head is empty. After opening the mouth, they use chopsticks to cut out steamed buns and eat them.

Seeing the salted duck eggs, Wang Zhen was so happy that he smiled. Although he often ate them outside, he did not have the same taste as at home.

"Mom! You are so nice, and there are salted duck eggs, hehe! I like it."

Wang Zhen said while bringing steamed buns for his grandparents.

"Haha, as long as you like it! Your dad said you like it, so I cooked some for you. By the way, there are eggs, so you can eat them too."

When Wang's mother was happy when she saw Wang Zhen, she was also very happy and said while serving the rice.

"Well, I'll peel some for grandparents first."

As he said that, Wang Zhen took the egg and started peeling it.

Eggs in rural areas are relatively precious. Generally speaking, they are left to the elderly and adults who do physical work, and they rarely eat them.

"Come on, grandpa, you eat first!"

Wang Zhen handed the peeled egg to Grandpa Wang.

"Okay, I'll eat first."

Grandpa Wang took the egg with a smile, and was not polite.

"Come on, grandma, this is for you."

Wang Zhen peeled another egg and handed it to Grandma Wang.

"Okay, grandma, too."

Grandma Wang also happily took the egg from Wang Zhen's hand and started eating happily.

"Xiao Zhen, you can eat it too, don't just peel it for grandparents."

Seeing that Wang Zhen was going to peel the eggs again, Grandma Wang said quickly.

"Okay, then I'll eat too."

When Wang Zhen heard his grandmother say this, he helplessly put down the egg in his hand, picked up a salted duck egg, and then stood up to pick up a steamed bun.

Then, he kowtowed the egg to the ground, slowly peeled a small mouthful, and started eating with steamed buns while cutting out salted duck eggs.

Because it was not during the busy farming period, the meal was very slow. After Wang Zhen finished eating two salted duck eggs and two steamed buns and drank another bowl of porridge, it was eight o'clock.

"Uh! So full! It's not as comfortable as I've eaten for a long time."

After putting down the bowl, Wang Zhen stretched and said.

"Haha, just eat enough! If you are not full, just eat some more?"

Mother Wang asked while washing dishes.

"No, mom! I'm so full! Look, my stomach is so full."

Wang Zhen was afraid that his mother would not believe it, so he deliberately bulged his stomach.

...

""Mom, dad, I'll go see my fifth master and ask about the contracted land by the way."

After eating, Wang Zhen played in the yard for a while. When he saw that it was nine o'clock, he said to Wang's father and Wang's mother.

"Well, go! Do whatever you want, Dad and your mom will support you from behind."

"By the way, I'll put my cigarette on by the way. Remember to hand it to you, Master Wu and the others later."

As he said that, Dad Wang stood up and reminded him.

"Yeah, OK."

Wang Zhen took the cigarette from his father's hand! Then he put one of the old turtle in the basin and walked towards the south with his arms.

Wang Zhen’s fifth master is very close to Wang Zhen’s house, right in front of the house in front of Wang Zhen, which is the neighbor’s neighbor.

As for why he asked Wang Zhen’s fifth master about the contracted land, it was because his fifth master was the village branch secretary.

Carrying the old turtle, Wang Zhen walked less than two hundred meters before coming to his fifth master's house.

The gate of Wang Zhen’s fifth master’s house faces south. Although it is a tile house, it is very wide. The gate is an iron gate. Wang Zhen came to the front and back of the door and looked at it. The door was not locked. So he pushed it gently and the door opened!

"Fifth Master, Wu Madam, I'm here to see you."

After entering the door, Wang Zhen opened his mouth and shouted.

"Who?"

As soon as Wang Zhen's voice fell to the ground, a slightly older female voice came from the inner room on the right side of the tile house.

"My! Five breasts."

Wang Zhen answered while walking inside.

"Hey, it should be Xiao Zhen. Didn't Shuangqin say that Wang Zhen is back? Go and have a look."

Wang Zhen, who had just walked into the door, heard another old but full of energy coming from inside.
