The tofu-grinding family is nicknamed Lao Si Ya, and it is an old man. According to seniority, Wang Zhen and Wang Liang both want to be called Fourth Master.

However, most of the people in the village are called Lao Si Ya, and few people talk about their seniority.

This has to be said, is also a loss of culture.

Lao Si Ya’s home is next to a fish pond in the center of the south side of the village. There is a small mill where Lao Si Ya grinds tofu every year.

It is also the place with the most crowded people every year when the Chinese New Year is approaching.

Therefore, when Wang Zhen and the others came to Lao Si Ya, several families were waiting there!

"Fourth Grandpa, let me take a break and smoke a cigarette."

Wang Zhen took a cigarette from Wang Dad and handed it to an old man who was busy in front of a big pot.

The old man looked very old, about sixty years old, with a slightly hunched back, a blue linen dress, black pants on his lower body, and a pair of worn cloth shoes on his feet.

Hearing Wang Zhen's scream, the fourth duck turned his head in surprise, looked at Wang Zhen carefully, took Yan and asked happily, "Whose baby are you? You have never seen you."

"Uncle Fourth, I am my child."

Dad Wang took a step forward and said proudly.

In the countryside, having a boy is something to be proud of, especially two, which are more respectful when you go out.

"Hey, it's your Wang Zhen! He has grown so big! He has become so handsome. I remember that he used to run around with his nose running."

Looking at Dad Wang, the fourth duck took out an old-fashioned diesel lighter, lit the cigarette in his hand and said complimentingly.

When Wang Zhen heard this, he burst into tears on the side! He thought to himself, "Fourth Master! Fourth Master, don't mention the things you have done back then, I've grown up."

"Come on, uncles, smoke a cigarette."

Seeing that his father had already talked to his fourth grandfather, Wang Zhen picked up the cigarette in his hand and started sending it to the others who were waiting to grind the tofu.

Although he didn't know any of these people in front of him.

But they are all from the same village, so it is normal to call him uncle.

Besides, in a few days, everyone in the village would rent the land to him. Now I can be considered as a preparation to get to know him.

"Yeah, okay, thank you."

Faced with Wang Zhen's deliberate plea, several people took the cigarette he handed over.

"So you are Wang Zhen."

The few people who took the cigarettes saw Wang Liang behind him and asked.

They also don't know Wang Zhen.

However, they knew Wang Zhen’s father and brother.

"Well, uncles, I am Wang Zhen, who is the one who wants to contract your land. We will sign a contract after the New Year. I hope you can help me."

Faced with everyone's inquiries, Wang Zhen responded with a smile.

"Haha, of course it helped."

"Although I don't know what your child wants to do so much land, your child is doing good things."

"We have few families who want to grow those rotten lands, and they are tiring to farm at home. They are only about two months' salary for working outside. Who is willing to farm?"

When Wang Zhen admitted that he was Wang Zhen, one of the tall and thin people said.

"Yes, I'm ready. After renting the land to you, I'll take my wife out to work after the New Year."

Another man who looked short and fat and honest also said while smoking.

"Well, then thank you uncles first."

Wang Zhen smiled and touched his head and said.

"By the way, Wang Zhen, why did you pack so much land? Can you finish planting it?"

A man who looked very ordinary suddenly asked.

"Uncle, I'm packing so much land, of course I'm planting! At that time, I might ask you for help."

Wang Zhen said in a conversation, not preparing to express his grand plan.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. As long as you have time, we'll help you with this."

After hearing what Wang Zhen said, others patted their chests and promised to arrive.

Time was spent chatting a few people, and Wang Dad and Wang Liang kept helping in the mill.

In a blink of an eye, it was Wang Zhen's turn. The first few families had left with tofu, and several more came later, and Wang Zhen had been in contact with them.

"Brother, come here to eat tofu brain."

After a while, Wang Liang suddenly shouted.

"Oh, here we come."

When Wang Zhen heard this, his eyes lit up. He talked to the others and entered the mill.

“So warm!”

As soon as he entered the room, Wang Zhen couldn't help but sigh.

"Come on, brother, let me eat it for you."

Wang Liang, who was on the other side, served a bowl of tofu brain and handed it to Wang Zhen.

"kindness!"

Wang Zhen took the tofu brain, squatted in front of Dad Wang, and drank in small sips. As soon as he came in, he saw that Dad Wang was already drinking.

"It's already noon, so we won't go back. Drink more. When you have enough, go back first. By the way, bring some tofu brain back and give it to your grandparents and mother for lunch."

While drinking, Wang Dad told Wang Zhen.

"kindness!"

Wang Zhen responded and continued to attack Tofu Brain.

Wang Zhen outside also ate tofu brain, but it didn't have that fragrance.

But the tofu brain in rural areas is different. I don’t know why, but it not only tastes good, but also has a faint fragrance that is conveyed in my mouth.

A bowl of tofu brain was wiped out by Wang Zhen in a blink of an eye.

He turned his head and saw that Wang Liang had finished drinking, and said, "Brother, I'll take the rest home."

"Yeah, okay."

After hearing this, Wang Liang picked up the spoon on the side and made another bowl full.

"Dad, why don't you?"

After Wang Liang finished the fight, Wang Zhen asked Wang Dad.

"No, I'm the second bowl."

"You will take the things in the bucket home. Don't come after you get home. It won't take long tofu. Your brother and I will get the tofu back in a while."

"Yeah, OK!"

Wang Zhen nodded in agreement, carried a small bucket of tofu brain, and walked towards home along the way he came.

The center of the village is about one thousand meters away from Wang Zhen’s house, and it is usually only about ten minutes to walk, so Wang Zhen got home soon!

"Mom, are you cooking?"

Wang Zhen walked into the yard with his tofu brain. When he saw the chimney above the stove and fire house, he quickly asked loudly.

"No! I just cooked the pot and thought you were not back, so I was going to make some food."

Seeing Wang Zhen come back, Wang's mother answered while adding firewood to the pot.

"Then don't do it, mom! My dad asked me to bring a lot of tofu brains back and eat tofu brains at noon."

Wang Zhen shook the bucket in his hand and signaled.

"Is it enough to eat? Is it done a lot?"

When Mother Wang heard this, she put down the firewood in her hand and stretched her head to look into the bucket.

"Hey, there are still a lot, it should be enough to eat."

Mother Wang looked at it and said.

"Enough to eat, then don't cook, mom."

Wang Zhen said.

"Well, okay, you take the tofu brain to the main hall and ask your grandparents to eat first. I will add two more handfuls of firewood and boil the water and wait for us to drink tea later."

Mother Wang ordered.

"Yeah, okay! I'll go now."

Wang Zhen nodded his head with agreement, held a bucket in one hand, three bowls in the other, found a few spoons, and walked towards the main hall.
