Dress like a farmer

"Third brother, let me hug Brother An."

"You have been busy in the kitchen for a long time, hold on to your strong man so that you don't fall." As he spoke, Chen Yuping turned his head and looked at Zhang Zhiwei who was following closely behind him: "Brother, come and hug Brother An."

"Oh."

"Brother, are you staying at home for a reunion dinner tonight?"

Chen Yuchun was stunned for a moment: "Is there something wrong with third brother?" If father or father asked him, he would definitely refuse.But this is the third brother, the younger brother he grew up watching.

"It's okay, I just want to talk to my brother."

"Aspiration."

Zhang Zhiwei, who was obviously in a state of wandering spirit, glanced at Brother Chun.

"Give me the baby."

Very sloppy, he stuffed An Geer into his father's hand.

"You go home, get some cured fish and bacon, and catch an old hen. You don't need to kill it, just carry it alive. The radish and potatoes in the green vegetable cellar in the vegetable garden are waiting for you to take some."

"What?"

"Take it to Chen's house. Let's have a reunion dinner at Chen's house in the evening."

Chen Yuping answered quickly: "Brother, my eldest brother has been married to you for so many years, and we have two children, but we have never had a reunion dinner at Chen's family, let alone staying overnight on New Year's Eve. Go back to Zhang's house and stay overnight at Chen's house."

"Then, in that old house..."

"Brother, I remember that you are the third in the family, and there are two elder brothers above, remember correctly? Are your two sister-in-laws missing hands or broken legs?"

This is quite rude.

Zhang Zhiwei's expression changed immediately after being choked, but in the end, he walked back silently without saying anything.

After Zhang Zhiwei walked a little farther and he could no longer see anyone, Chen Yuping asked softly, "Brother, don't you blame me?"

"What are you blaming?" Chen Yuchun smiled, with soft brows and eyes, as if looking at his own child. This is his younger brother. He looked at the younger brother who grew up and took care of him: "You are telling the truth."

Chen Yuping looked at him without any emotion, and asked: "Brother, brother-in-law sometimes doesn't speak and do things as you like, why don't you talk about him? Just let him like this? I don't think brother-in-law's temperament is too strong."

"I used to say it a lot before, thinking that he could listen a little bit and change a little bit. But after so many years, I've given up on it, and it's useless to say it."

"If he doesn't listen, just leave him alone, do less work and rest more, and take good care of the two children."

Chen Yuchun laughed when he heard this: "You, after all, you are still a little younger, you are not married, and you don't know how easy it is to live. Your brother-in-law is so temperamental that you only move after pushing. If I don't care about him, this family will You can't tell what kind of mess it will be."

"Brother, what I mean is, just do what you have to do, don't use extra effort. For example, the trivial things in the old house of the Zhang family. There are two sister-in-laws above you. You can follow them no matter what, don't always be alone. People are busy working foolishly, and my brother-in-law doesn't love you, but I feel bad when I see it."

"This matter..." Chen Yuchun was silent for a while: "At the very beginning, when we first got married, I also wanted to listen to my father's words, manage my life well, and put people in my heart. I understand that even a rock will sometimes be warmed up. A little effort is nothing, and it’s okay to be a little bit tired.”

"I was born early. It can be said that I watched my father and father slowly tidy up the house little by little. It is really not easy for our Chen family to have what it is today. When I was a teenager, I thought You have to find a hardworking and honest man, it doesn’t matter if you are poor, as long as you are good, the two of you will work together and work together, and you will never be short of food and drink.”

"Father often says that your elder brother-in-law is superficially stupid, just a soft knife, but what can we do? He has already become his own child."

"Let's just live like this. I have to learn to be content."

Chen Yuping could hear the frustration in the elder brother's words: "Brother, you will grow up in the rest of your life. You are not yet 30 years old. You are willing to accept your fate like this? Look at your father and father, and then look at your second brother and sister-in-law. They, you have no idea?"

"What can I do? Your eldest brother-in-law has such a temper, he can't explain it, he can't understand it, anyway, it goes in the left ear and comes out the right ear. He has been beaten and scolded, and he just doesn't respond like a piece of wood. It's over. It still hasn't changed, what can I do? I can't really beat him to death. Every day when there is nothing to do, scolding and beating him, it becomes a joke, you know Brother Ping, it's not just us who have become villagers A joke, even having it will make the Chen family a joke."

"Brother is my fault, I said something wrong, don't be angry." Seeing his brother's rapidly flushed eyes, Chen Yuping panicked: "I thought it was easy."

Chen Yuchun took a deep breath: "You give Brother Ang a hug."

"Brother." Chen Yuping called out cautiously.

Chen Yuchun, who had wiped away his tears, pulled the corners of his mouth and showed a dry smile: "It's okay, I'm not angry. You..." As he spoke, he rubbed the top of the third brother's hair affectionately, his eyes softened With kindness: "Father is very optimistic about Cui Yuanjiu, I see, this guy is not bad, you are more fortunate than me."

Chen Yuping was not reconciled, not reconciled to such a good elder brother being soaked in bitter water all his life: "Brother, I, I still have something to say, can I say it?" Zhang Zhiwei is nothing.

"What do you want to say?" Chen Yuchun couldn't help laughing seeing him wanting to say something but not daring to say it: "In front of big brother, if there is anything you can't say, just say it."

"I still want to talk about big brother."

"Tell me, I'll listen." Chen Yuchun knew that the third brother cared about him too. Looking at his grown-up brother, he knew in a blink of an eye that he cared about his brother's marriage. His mind was in a trance, happy and sad at the same time.On the contrary, he has enough patience and tolerance, and his mood is very calm, so he is afraid of scaring the third brother again.

"Brother, I think you can be stronger in your daily life."

"What do you mean?"

Chen Yuping thought about it for a while: "You also said that brother-in-law has such a temperament, there is no way, there is no way to change. In this case, brother, you can change yourself. Brother-in-law is not bad, even a little cowardly, so You don’t care about him, don’t worry about his thoughts, don’t care about his emotions, just do everything according to your own temperament, don’t put him in your heart, live your life as you like.”

"This..." Chen Yuchun vaguely heard something, but didn't really understand it: "In this way, you won't be jumping like crazy? Can you still have a peaceful life?"

"Didn't it be you who told me whether to fight back when you hit me or not?"

"Yes, that is indeed the case."

Seeing that his elder brother was still a little confused, Chen Yuping continued: "You beat him and scolded him, but he didn't respond. If you don't beat him or scold him, why can't life be peaceful?"

"How can this be the same, this is different." Chen Yuping explained in detail: "I don't often beat and scold your brother-in-law, but sometimes I beat and scold him when I get angry. Father is right , your brother-in-law is just superficially stupid. He is clear in his heart and knows that he is wrong, so he allows me to beat and scold him. According to what you said, no matter what your brother-in-law is, he doesn't care about it. He can't be so honest. The days will only get colder and colder."

"Are you wronging yourself so much?"

"What can I do? I won't let it go. The family atmosphere is not good. Even if the child is young, he will be scared. Besides, your brother-in-law just doesn't take me to heart now. He is not considerate or considerate enough. This family He still thinks that the work that should be done will not be missed, and he will help with family affairs, if he throws his hands away and does nothing, then it will really be bad things."

Now Chen Yuping remained silent and didn't speak, feeling panicked, as if a thorn was stuck in his throat, it was either very painful or very uncomfortable.

"Our family is different. Father and father have a good relationship, and the family atmosphere is good. When you meet someone like your eldest brother-in-law, you will feel particularly intimidated. It seems that there is nothing good about him, all flaws. In fact, look around In the whole village, there are many people like your eldest brother-in-law, but our Chen family, the family is harmonious and tolerant, and it is rare to see the sky laughing and laughing." Chen Yuchun comforted the third brother in turn: "Ping Brother, don't think too much, my life is not bad, it's just not happy enough."

"Brother, we can still do this!" Chen Yuping really didn't believe it, and there was no way to control the elder brother.

"How?"

"You can still be nice to your brother-in-law, meticulous and considerate, but! Don't take him seriously, and don't take his thoughts and emotions into account. Talk about things, speak tough and forceful, and don't imitate daddy's gentleness. You have to make him work, and you don’t need to feel sorry for him. What I say is good to him, it’s superficial, such as eating and dressing, gossiping about trivial matters, you can be gentle at this time, and don’t care about things big or small. , you don’t need to negotiate and make up your own mind, and if you have an idea, just open your mouth and tell him to do it. Anyway, my brother-in-law has such a temper, push and move, maybe your change like this is just what he wants.”

Listening to Chuchu, Chen Yuchun felt that the third brother's thinking was a little simple, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.

"Brother Ping, you have to let me think about it, I have to smooth it out."

"Brother, let's not go too far, let's just talk about what happened in Zhang's old house just now, look at how I talk and do things, let's take advantage of the reason, so we don't need to think too much, just say what we think, open and bright expression own emotions."

Chen Yuchun nodded thoughtfully, and murmured in a low voice: "Let me think about it, I have to think about it."

Father Chen looked at the eldest son who seemed to have lost his soul, his eyes were full of worry, his eyes fell on the third son, he hesitated to speak.

"Father, it's okay." Chen Yuping said softly, and then said: "When eldest brother recovers, maybe something good will happen."

"What have you done?"

"I didn't do anything, I just had a conversation with my brother."

Father Chen looked at his eldest son and then at his third son: "All right."

Cui Yuanjiu came back with a sheep and a lot of haggis blood, enough for a family of more than a dozen people to have a lively meal.

Not long after he came, Zhang Zhiwei also came over, carrying a live chicken, one bacon, and two cured fish. The bacon weighed five or six catties, and the cured fish was not small. Together, they should weigh about ten catties. , The smoke is particularly fragrant.

"Zhi will go to the house for you and help Yuan Jiu and the others to pack the sheep." Chen Yuchun ordered with confidence, his voice was neither loud nor soft, not to say it was soft, but there was also a hint of refusal.

Zhang Zhiwei was stunned for a moment, obviously unable to react.

"Go quickly."

"Oh."

Zhang Zhiwei walked towards the well behind the house in a daze.

When he came out of the stove, Chen Yuchun said again: "Close the door casually, the wind is cold, don't freeze the child."

Zhang Zhiwei closed the door casually as he was obedient.

"Big Brother." Chen Yuping gave Big Brother a thumbs up with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Chen Yuchun showed a slightly shy smile.

"You two, what's going on here?" Father Chen was at a loss: "Brother Ping, what did you tell your eldest brother?"

Chen Yuping cheerfully said: "It's a long story, I'll talk to Dad later. Brother, you have to be steady."

"I know it well, third brother, don't worry."

Cui Yuanjiu and Chen Yuanqiu packed up the sheep, Zhang Zhiwei picked up the offal by himself, he rarely did these things, he looked clumsy and unorganized.He didn't ask the two people next to him. Cui Yuanjiu and Chen Yuanqiu also pretended not to know, and carefully packed the sheep. After packing, they carried them into the kitchen.

"How is he washing?" Chen Yuchun asked the younger brother.

Chen Yuanqiu pursed his lips: "Stupid than me."

"I gonna go see."

"Brother, let him wash himself."

"I know." Chen Yuchun smiled, walked up to the younger brother, and rubbed his hair: "Brother is not stupid."

Chen Yuping was a little worried: "Brother, what are you going to do?" He asked quietly.

"I'll go and have a look, and say something considerate."

"Brother, I have a better idea, just listen. You go out now, talk to him in a soft voice, and then teach him how to wash the haggis patiently. No matter how stupid he is, he has learned it over and over again. If you still can’t learn it, don’t worry, just waste time with him slowly, don’t take this matter on yourself, he is slow and you are slow, the two of you wash slowly together, and I will come to remind you when the time comes, and the rest Leave it to me."

"It's just you with a lot of eyes." Having said that, Chen Yuchun smiled brightly.

When Old Man Chen saw it, his eye sockets instantly turned red.It has been several years since I saw my eldest son with such a bright smile.

"Aspiration."

Zhang Zhiwei, who washes the haggis in the winter so that his forehead is soaked with sweat, sees Brother Chun as if he has seen a savior: "Come and help me."

"How much have you washed?" Chen Yuchun came to the well, half of the pot of haggis was not cleared out, it was indeed a bit slow: "Are you cold?" He asked intentionally.

Zhang Zhiwei, who was still sweating on his forehead, said, "It's not cold, but the well water is warm."

"You haven't washed haggis before, and you don't know how to wash it. I'll teach you. It's actually not difficult." Chen Yuchun moved very slowly and spoke very softly.

Zhang Zhiwei was dumbfounded.This, this is?

"Why are you in a daze." Chen Yuchun smiled at him, and pushed him with his elbow: "Hurry up, follow my movements, learn it, and you can wash it off in two or three strokes. You see, the youngest and Cui Yuanjiu are more agile. , picked up the sheep easily, you have to learn a little bit."

Zhang Zhiwei doesn't want to wash the haggis, it's too strenuous, so it's better to tell him to do some laborious work: "Brother Chun, I'll wash the haggis for you, it's useless if I learn it."

"Are you going to leave the matter to me? Then swagger into the house to rest?"

"No, I won't go into the house, I'll help you." Zhang Zhiwei grinned with a foolish smile.This was in the Chen family, and he didn't dare to go too far under the nose of the Chen family.

Looking at the silly smile on his face, Chen Yuchun felt angry. He told himself to hold back, hold back: "I teach, you learn. Do you want to learn? If you don't learn, I will go back to the room and stay here alone. You are here alone." Let's wash it, and when the third brother prepares haggis soup and comes out and asks you for haggis, I'll see what you say."

"Brother Chun, you..."

"Study or not?"

Zhang Zhiwei looked at his cold eyebrows and eyes, feeling very awkward, and slightly guilty: "Learn."

"You have to study hard. I won't wash the haggis for you. This is your business." Chen Yuchun wiped the sweat from her husband's forehead with her sleeve: "Look how tired you are, how often do you Capable, the farm work in the field is so hard for you, it’s just a simple wash of haggis, and you are tired and sweaty in the winter, you.” The gentle and gentle tone, the last sigh seemed to be hooked, and it was pulled open. Zhiwei's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat, and the little bit of resentment that had just grown in his heart disappeared instantly.
