Jian Qiu was slumped on the chair, holding a bunch of apricots in his arms. He squinted his eyes and looked ahead, his legs were hanging in the air, and the back of his feet was arched. Huang Xinglai.

The old apricot tree in the vegetable garden bore a lot of apricots, and a few weak branches were overwhelmed and were broken by the fruit, which damaged many vegetables in the vegetable garden.

At the moment Yu Dong is picking apricots in the vegetable garden with Jian Bao and the others. Jian Qiu is not as calm as Yu Dong. He stepped on the mud and wanted to run around. Yu Yang was afraid that he would get the mud everywhere so he gave him a bag Kyoko told him to go back to the house.

The spit out kernel Yu Yang specially told not to throw it away, dried it in the sun and smashed the outer hard shell, the inside was almonds, it would be good to keep it as a snack.

The apricots that Jian Fan took home took a few days to make cans and jams, and kept them in glass bottles that he picked up, and put them neatly in the cellar.

When they boiled brown sugar, some of the syrup did not go through the sanding step, and it was directly solidified into large sugar cubes, which were not much different from ordinary rock sugar except for the reddish color.So there is no shortage of sugar at home, but there are not enough glass bottles for canned fruits.

But looking at the greedy faces of Jian Qiu and Yu Dong, it is estimated that those cans will be wiped out in a short time.

The fruits in the mountains are ripening one after another, especially the peach grove on the hillside, where the branches are covered with red fruits, which is very festive.

Yu Yang and Jian Fan took the two little guys up the hillside to pick fruit once, and just as Jian Fan said, peaches are not sweet in seasons with a lot of rain.For this reason, Jian Fan often teases Yu Yang about this matter.

There are many fruits, but they are not easy to eat. Many of them are eaten by birds, and most of them are dropped on the ground to make fertilizer.

Both Yu Yang and Jian Fan are very hungry people, and every time they look at the rotten fruits that fall on the ground, they always feel a burst of heartache.But there is no way they are too busy.

Yu Yang cleaned up the few broken apricot branches, tied them into a bundle and piled them under the eaves.

When spring just came, I decided to build a small house specially for firewood. It is already early summer, and the house has just surrounded a rough area with bricks.

Yu Yang looked at the hut that had just taken shape and sighed. She changed her shoes and put on gloves, and after talking to Jian Fan, she pushed the cart to look for bricks in the dilapidated house down the mountain.

Cement and sand are particularly easy to find. Almost all the houses in the country are repaired by themselves, and there will be some cement and sand left over.However, the cement that Yu Yang and the others found had been piled up for too long, and some of them had already solidified into lumps.

In addition to Brick, Yu Yang also tore down a door that was still in good condition.

She and Jian Fan were busy for several days before they got the place where the firewood was piled up.Yu Yang now only feels that if there is less firewood, there will be no sense of security. The house must be full of piles, just like a little squirrel desperately collecting food for the winter, the more food the better.

Both she and Jian Fan were trying to save food and firewood.

There was still the last bit of flour at home, Jian Fan looked at the peach jam that was made beside her, and remembered the uniquely shaped and delicious bread in the cake shop, so she kneaded the dough on a whim.

"Mom, are you eating steamed stuffed buns today?" Yu Dong walked around, put his hands on the stove and blinked and asked.

"No." Jian Bao looked at her daughter's bright eyes and shook her head.

Yu Dong stopped talking, she tilted her head, dug out a long time in her cloth bag and handed Jian Bao a shiny stone.Jian Fan took it, picked up a transparent plastic box on the window sill, and put the stone Yu Dong gave her into it.

This is a little habit of Yu Dong, as long as she finds a good-looking stone, she will bring it back to Jian Bao, and ask her to help preserve it.

There were round pebbles in that box, as well as other stones with beautiful colors that Jane didn't know the names of.

"Little Mom's got it, where's Big Mom's?" Yu Yang pretended to be wronged, covered his face with his hands, and looked at Yu Dong through his fingers. She was looking forward to the reaction of this shy little girl.

As a result, Yu Dong clutched the cloth bag and couldn't say a word for a long time. She blushed in embarrassment, her tail was stiff, her eyes quickly moved away after meeting Yu Yang's gaze, and her toes slid uncomfortably on the ground.

Well, apparently this girl has only one beautiful stone.If you give it to Jian Bao, you will definitely not be able to give it to Yu Yang again.

"Stop teasing her, make her cry and coax her, and then don't pull me in." Jian Fang glared at her; "Just like a child, I think you have to be Jian Qiu's little tail and go to the fields Playing with mud, right?"

"I was just teasing her, I didn't think I would really want her stones." Yu Yang pursed his lips, patted Yu Dong's head and began to coax her.

"Auntie, I have mine too, I'll give you mine." Jian Qiu appeared out of nowhere, the corners of his mouth were pitch black, and he didn't know what dirt was on it.He looked at Yu Yang and smiled embarrassingly, showing a few sharp teeth and raising his tail high.

Yu Yang looked at him suspiciously, and held out his hand hesitantly.

Jian Qiu smiled and gave Yu Yang a stone half the size of a fist. It was dusty and had no characteristics at all. Yu Yang suspected that he just picked up a stone on the ground just to follow Yu Dong.

Looking at his expectant son, Yu Yang twitched the corners of his mouth and praised him casually: "It's pretty nice, thank you."

"I'm going to make bread today." Jian Fan pointed to the dough in front of her and said.

Yu Yang's face changed slightly, but he adjusted back in time: "Is there an oven? It's not winter, so it's inconvenient to make bread without an oven? How about I go and light up the oven now?"

In winter, in order to resist the severe cold, the stove will be turned on. Their stove has an inner cavity that can be used to bake food, which is like an oven. Just take out the iron plate, put things on it, and finally put the iron plate Just put it in the stove.

Jane vana often bakes bread in winter, but they don't have any yeast powder, so the baked bread is very hard, not soft at all.

I also tried to make bread by fermenting old flour, but the bread that comes out of the pan always has a sour taste.Among the four people present, Yu Yang was the one who ate the most strange-flavored bread.

Jian Fan is keen on making bread, but she doesn't eat the bread she makes very much.At that time, Jian Qiu and Yu Dong were still very young, and Yu Yang was worried that they would not survive, so he fed them some supplementary food such as rice soup and fish soup every day, so how could he dare to give them bread.

"You forgot, our stove has three stoves, two big ones and one small one." Jian Fan quickly grabbed her and pointed to the stove.

"And then? Isn't it bread making?" Yu Yang was a little confused.

Jian Fan: "Go over and see what kind of structure it is."

Yu Yang approached the stove in a daze, and lifted the lid of the small pot.In fact, the pot is not big, just a little bigger than the washbasin, and it is very deep. The lid on it is made of iron. It is more like an iron sheet than a lid.

Yu Yang understood what Jian Fan meant. This kind of pot that can be used as an oven is very common in rural areas. When using it, the top and bottom are burned together, and the stored temperature will cook the food. The function of the iron plate is to isolate the firewood from contact with the food. .

But the problem now is that the pot is made of iron. It has been rusted for a long time and has several holes. The biggest hole is as big as Yu Yang's fist, so it can't bake anything.

"That pot is broken, how do you fix it?" Yu Yang was dumbfounded, and the two younger ones followed her movements and looked at Jian Fan together.

Jian Bao was annoyed that Yu Yang was not enlightened, so she nodded anxiously on her forehead: "Pig brain, wouldn't it be enough to change the pot?"

"I know, if I could find a pot that matches, I would have changed it a long time ago. How can I wait now." Yu Yang exhaled and said with a frown.

Hearing Yu Yang's words, Jian Fang's momentum lost more than half of it in an instant: "Then what do you think should be done?"

"What should I do? Cold salad, chili and water." Yu Yangbai glanced at her, and his tone of voice amplified a little.Yu Dong was a little scared, she quietly took Yu Yang's hand, secretly stuffed her with a glass marble, and looked back and forth between her and Jian Bao.

Yu Yang was in a fit of anger, and didn't pay attention to the little guy's movements. She sighed and looked at Jian Fan angrily, and said, "I have to eat bread today? Can't I eat other foods?"

Jian Fan looked at the fermenting dough and nodded with his neck stuck up.

"Okay, then use the oven attached to the stove, just use it to bake some dried peaches and apricots." Yu Yang rubbed his shoulders to get firewood after speaking.She had a hint of complacency on her face, holding Yu Dong's hand and please shake it.

After getting the response, Jian Fan looked at Yu Yang's appearance as if he had won a battle and sneered behind her: "You are used to bad virtue."

After she finished speaking, she chuckled lightly to herself.

Yu Dong looked back worriedly, just in time to see Jian Bao who was smiling, she scratched her head with her pointy fingers, a little puzzled.

The book says that if you really love someone, the best gift you can give to the other person is a solid sense of security, which makes her feel that she is favored and understands that she is firmly chosen.

From Yu Yang, Jian Fan understands the kind of love that is as plain as water and trickles in these trivial daily things.

She was extremely glad that the choice she made was correct. She did not leave Yu Yang, and she loved him as deeply as Yu Yang.

Sure enough, the baked bread was as hard as ever, but it was not so hard to swallow when dipped in jam.

Yu Yang took a sip of scented tea and a mouthful of bread with great effort.

On the contrary, the two little ones ate very happily, chattering non-stop.

Jian Fan took the apricot jam and stretched it out in front of Yu Yang: "Try it?"

Yu Yang picked a little and spread it on the bread, took a bite of the bread and sniffed, looking at the misty mountains in the distance.

Jian Fan put the jam bottle aside, sat cross-legged next to Yu Yang on the steps, and slowly leaned her head on her thin shoulder.

"Your daughter gave me a very beautiful glass marble." Yu Yang smiled when he said this.

"Well, I see, I'm so jealous, okay?" Jian Fan finished speaking and tore off a piece of her own bread to feed her.

Yu Yang chewed the bread and turned his head to look at Jian Fang seriously. She said she was jealous, but her face was full of chuckles.

She instantly felt that the dry bread seemed to have a different smell, maybe it was the unique scent of apricots, maybe it was the scent of wheat, Yu Yang couldn't tell, but she didn't hate this sweet taste, and even liked it a little .

Chapter 1111

After planting the sweet potatoes, it rained for several days, Yu Yang and Jian Fan were trapped in the house, not going anywhere around the firepit.

The rain in the mountains always comes and goes, and it happened that Yu Yang and Jian Bao had time to rest.

There is usually a casserole on the Iron Triangle in the fire pit, which contains the soup made by Jian Fan, sometimes it is fish soup or chicken soup, sometimes it is simple vegetable soup.

Looking up along the rising light blue smoke, there is still a small piece of bacon and a pheasant that has just been hung up and its color is not dark.Those smoked fish have long been sealed in bags by Jian Bao.

Yu Yang pursed her lips, and said that at the end of winter when the season was green and yellow, the wild boars deep in the mountains would come down the mountain to look for food. Unfortunately, Yu Yang did not see hungry wild boars appearing around her house.

They definitely couldn't beat the wild boar, mainly relying on the assistance of some tools. They once caught a small wild boar at the foot of the mountain. Although they paid a little price, now the wild boar is only left on the shelf. That little piece.

"What are you thinking, I'm drooling." Jian Fan added a piece of firewood to the firepit and said.

Yu Yang: "I want to eat meat."

"Why don't you wash, fry and eat that piece of meat today, so you don't have to look at it twice every day." Jian Fan rolled his eyes and said.

"This is called drinking water and thinking about the source, do you understand?" Yu Yang propped his chin, sucking the saliva that flowed to his mouth.

Gradually, the sound of the rain outside the house became quieter, and Yu Yang stretched his waist and walked out after being bored in the house.

Everything washed by the rain showed a new side. Looking at the rice seedlings fluttering in the wind in the field, Yu Yang felt a sense of satisfaction and anticipation in his heart. Those thriving green seedlings will bear heavy fruits in the golden autumn.

Yu Dong followed Jian Qiu wearing a coir raincoat to touch crabs in the creek in front of the house. The thorny vines by the stream bloomed many pink and white flowers, exuding a unique and strong floral fragrance. The yellow stamens in the flowers are bright and eye-catching. , The bees are buzzing around the flowers, busy collecting honey.

Jian Qiu bent over and groped around in the rocks, his tail raised high, and Yu Dong stood beside Jian Qiu with a leaf on his head holding a bamboo basket. Occasionally, Jian Qiu caught a crab. Yu Dong would hold the bamboo basket and laugh like a fool.

Da Huang walked around from the back of the house to the front, lowered his head, and watched Yu Yang's every move in real time.

Yu Yang didn't dare to provoke it, so he could only freeze his body and observe Rhubarb's every move.Rhubarb glanced at her, with a black thing in his mouth, he quickly slipped away from the iron gate with his tail between his legs.

Due to the distance, Yu Yang couldn't see what was in its mouth, the dark one must be a mouse.

It's a good sign that he didn't call at her.

Because of the rain, Yu Yang vacated a space in the house where the firewood was kept, and put a wooden box on the side. She had planned to do so, but when she saw the puppy squatting on the ground wagging its tail at her, suddenly I thought of Jian Qiu and Yu Donglai.The same watery and bright eyes, timid, always full of curiosity inside, Yu Yang went back to find a few old clothes that could not be worn to make a nest for those puppies.

If it were Yu Yang before, she would never do this. She might not kill Da Huang, but she would never let it enter the house.Sure enough, after becoming a mother, her heart softened. She could accept rhubarb and its children.

Yu Yang looked at Da Huang's back and blew a loud whistle, and as a result, Da Huang ran faster.

She moved her mouth and didn't know what she was talking about, but suddenly her eyes were attracted by a few white birds.Against the green sky, several snow-white birds stood on the branches and combed their feathers gracefully.

Yu Yang licked his lips, it was all meat.

Suddenly, "Where's my meat?" Jian Fan shouted in surprise from the kitchen.

Yu Yang blinked, and looked at Rhubarb who had leaped far away and seemed to understand something. Suddenly, her limbs felt sore and limp, her eyes turned black, and her eyes were filled with despair. She wanted to eat dog meat again.

Yu Yang dragged his heavy body against the door of the kitchen and said mournfully, "The dog took it away."

Seeing Yu Yang's heartbroken look, Jian Fan felt a little guilty. She looked at the onions, ginger, garlic and pickled peppers that she had chopped up and spread out: "Then what to eat?"

"What else is there to eat at home?" Yu Yang asked.

Jian Fan: "For meat, there is only the pheasant on the shelf and some smoked fish. For vegetables, there are a few tomatoes over there, which can be used to make tomato soup."

The more Yu Yang thought about it, the more distressed he became, that was the last piece of pork in the family.

"How about I bake a vegetable pancake?" Jian Bao discussed.

"Alright." Yu Yang closed his eyes and clenched his back molars tightly.

After a while of heartache, Yu Yang sat on a chair outside with a peach in his mouth, staring at the verdant and verdant mountains.It is impossible for her to go into the mountains to find a wild boar, kill it and bring it back to eat. But it is still possible to catch pheasants and dig out eggs. If she is lucky, she may be able to catch wild rabbits.

Yu Yang sniffed the scent coming from the kitchen, spit out the peach pit in his mouth, and shouted to the two little guys who were having a great time playing in the creek: "It's time to eat."

"Oh." After Yu Dong gave a reply, he slowly climbed up the creek with a bamboo basket in his hand, then stood on the bank and shouted to Jian Qiu: "Brother, you're home."

Jian Qiu responded, but couldn't stand firmly, fell into the stream and choked several times.Yu Yang ran down quickly, but Jian Qiu struggled to get up again, looking at his wet clothes with a worried face.

"Why are you still standing there? You child is anxious to kill me. Hurry up and change your clothes. Your little mother will scold you to death later." Yu Yang stood in the stream and stretched out his hand to pull Jianqiu.

After returning home, apart from the well-behaved Yu Dong, Jian Qiu and Yu Yang who had changed their clothes were scolded bloody by Jian Bao.She pulled the two people over, carefully checked whether they were scratched by the sharp stones in the creek, and scolded Yu Yang and the others. It was Jian Qiu's stomach that was making rumbling noises, and Jian Fang was afraid that they would be hungry before closing. mouthed.

The vegetable pancakes made by Jian Fan are delicious, and it would be more perfect if there is some meat.It's a pity that the last bacon in the house fell into Rhubarb's mouth. Thinking of this, Yu Yang's little heart began to ache again, and the fragrant vegetable pancakes lost their original taste for a while.

Looking at the black-faced Yu Yang, Jian Qiu shook his tail uneasy, and gradually slowed down while eating the vegetable cakes. He reached out and touched his sharp ears and shouted softly: "Auntie, I want to Eat fried crab."

Yu Dong nodded and looked at Yu Yang expectantly.

This is some time ago when Yu Yang was idle at home and had nothing to do, he took Jian Qiu and Yu Dong to touch the crabs in the stream in the ditch and came back to fry them as snacks.These little crabs don't grow big, and they don't have much meat. After deep-fried, sprinkle some chili noodles on Jian Qiu so that he can sit on the bench and not run around.As long as Jian Qiu doesn't run around, the little tail Yu Dong will be honest.

In addition to touching crabs, Yu Yang also caught a lot of small shrimps with nets.After washing and cooking these small shrimps, they are dried and ground into powder, which is also a good seasoning.

"Hey, let your little mother fry it for you later." Yu Yang took a bite of the vegetable pancake and took a sip of the fish soup.

"No, Jian Qiu asked you to fry it for him, you can do it yourself later and don't get involved with me." Jian Fan finished eating first, she tapped the bowl with her chopsticks and said.

"If I fry it, I will fry it." Yu Yang listlessly glanced at Jian Qiu's bamboo basket for catching crabs and asked Jian Qiu: "Ah Qiu, how many did you catch?"

Jian Qiu pursed her lips: "I didn't watch it."

Yu Yang patted his head: "I'll fry the dishes for you after I wash the dishes and rest for a while."

Jian Qiu nodded obediently.

After eating, he took the fish he caught and half a piece of vegetable cake to the back of the house to feed the dog.

After Yu Yang cleaned up the kitchen and table, he didn't dare to talk to Jian Fang, lest he be rejected, so he took her and Jian Qiu's dirty clothes and went to the well to wash them.

Not every well or pool in the countryside will plant a saponin tree. The saponin that Yu Yang and the others use to wash clothes is specially picked up deep in the mountains.

After washing and drying the clothes, Yu Yang sat on the stool and looked at Jian Fan who was walking back and forth. When Jian Fan walked past her again, Yu Yang held her hand.

Jian Fan's hands are very slender, due to doing a lot of farm work, there is a thick layer of calluses on the fingertips and the tiger's mouth, and there are many small scratches on the hands.

Yu Yang held her hand for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, his thoughts were messy.

"What's wrong?" Jane asked.

Yu Yang shook her head, her mood suddenly became very depressed, she looked at Jian Bao with three points of grievance and said: "I want to hug."

Jian Bao was a little funny, in the past Yu Yang was always shy to express, she was always used to standing silently behind Jian Bao, supporting her.

"What's the matter with you? You think I'm not soft-handed, and I'm not good-looking." Jian Fan spread his five fingers and looked at it and said.

"No." Yu Yang hugged Jian Bao's waist and said sullenly.

"Then what's wrong with you." Jian Bao patted her on the back, and slowed down his tone as if coaxing Jian Qiu.

"Suddenly thinking about what you said to leave at that time, I feel empty in my heart, and I'm afraid that you won't be there when I wake up." Yu Yang rubbed Jian Bao's waist, raised his head and looked at her, with a little anxiety in his eyes.

"You must be sick, why would you think of this?" Jian Fan said, slapping her on the head gently and hard.

"I suddenly thought of it. What can I do? When you first told me that you would leave one day." Yu Yang said with a pursed mouth.

"I didn't say that I would leave one day. Can you let me follow you? If I don't want to be with you, why do I insist on having children? I don't know what is going on in your pig head every day. Look at A very smart person, how can he have such a strange idea and not understand such a simple truth?"

Jian Fan was a little annoyed, and grabbed a hair on Yu Yang's head and pulled it out.The pain caused Yu Yang to hold his head and grinned, bending over.

"It deserves it." Jane gave her a white look, twisted her waist and went on with the work she was doing.

"Hey." Yu Yang shouted.

Jian Fang stopped in his tracks, and replied angrily, "What's wrong."

"You fry small crabs for Jian Qiu and the others." Yu Yang shouted, rubbing his head.

"Do it yourself, you sweep the yard and tidy up the firewood you picked up in the backyard? Have you thrown away the uneaten and rotten peaches you picked?" Jian Fan asked sharply.

Yu Yang shrunk his neck, drooped his shoulders and hurried to get a broom to sweep away the leaves blown in from the yard.

"It's free, I think you do too little work in a day, so you have the time to think about it." Jian Fan muttered and walked away.

When Yu Yang survived, Jian Qiu and Yu Dong were already eating small crabs fried by Jian Bao on the small bench. Seeing Yu Yang looking at them, Yu Dong stretched out his hand, grabbing a crab and was about to pass it to them. Yu Yang.

"Mom won't eat this, follow brother and don't run around, do you hear me?" Yu Yang pinched her face and entered the room.
