Dress like a farmer

The rooster crows, and the New Year's Eve is over.

It was still pitch black outside, and the wind howled.

The four children slept soundly on the bamboo couch, huddled together in a group, looking very warm.

Chen Yuchun poured a basin of warm water, washed his face, and then pushed his husband: "Go and wash your face, wake up." Saying this, he sat next to Father and Father: "It will be dawn soon, I think I'd better go back Make up for sleep, and the house has to be tidied up."

The first day of the Lunar New Year is when neighbors in the village visit each other. Each family will stay with one or two housekeepers, and the rest of the people fill the village to talk and celebrate the New Year.

The atmosphere in Kuzhu Village has always been very harmonious, people can't see each other when they look up, and they are generally friendly.

Father Chen understood the meaning of the eldest son's words, but he didn't hold back much: "Let your father take you off in a bullock cart. If the children are fast asleep, let them fall asleep, and wrap them up thicker after a while."

"I'm here to see you off. My father drank a lot of wine, and I guess he is very sleepy." Chen Yuandong was also a little confused, and he regained consciousness after hearing the voice: "I'm going to wash my face."

"What's the matter?" The old man Chen seemed to be awake, and his tongue was a little bit loud when he spoke. He shook his head twice.

"Don't shake it, and if you shake it, you will go to the ground." Father Chen pressed his wife's shoulder in time.

Cui Yuanjiu stood up: "I'll help my second uncle into the room to catch up on sleep."

"Sure, you slow down, his body is also very heavy, this will be completely useless, it's all up to you to support."

"Second Uncle, don't worry, I don't have anything else, just a lot of strength."

Old Man Chen is the second son in the family, and Father Chen is also the second son in the family.

After the two got married, the juniors called them Second Uncle or Second Uncle, except for the young children, they all could tell the difference clearly.

Cui Yuanjiu helped the old man Chen out of the stove steadily, before closing the door, Chen Yuandong walked in.

"The bullock cart is harnessed."

Father Chen bent down and wanted to hug the sleeping brother An, but Chen Yuchun stopped him: "Father, you rest, I'll do it." Turning around, he told his stupid husband, "Zhiwei, come and hug me." Da Zhuang, move gently, don't disturb him."

Zhang Zhiwei dawdled, didn't open his eyes very much, walked three steps and shook twice, looking as if his soul was floating.

"Let me do it." Father Chen was really worried that he would fall on his grandson, obviously unreliable.

Chen Yuchun has already hugged his youngest son in his arms: "Father, stand aside, don't stop him, just let him hug you."

In normal times, Zhang Zhi would be too lazy to take care of this half-dead procrastination. If he has this skill, he might as well do it himself, so as not to be sullen.In the future, he will not be stupid again, and continue to shout without moving. He has a lot of patience.

"What's the matter, big brother? I just washed my face and still haven't woken up? Would you like me to scoop up a basin of cold water for you? It should be more effective." Chen Yuandong spoke kindly, with a smile on his face.

Zhang Zhiwei said slowly, "Huh?" with a dumbfounded expression on his face.

"My basin of water hasn't been mixed with hot water yet, why don't you wash my brother's face first?" Chen Yuping brought a basin of cold water as he spoke.

Seeing the icy cold water being brought to him, this is the twelfth lunar month, Zhang Zhiwei grinned and showed a silly smile, he touched his face roughly with his hands: "It's been a long time since I had such a good drink, I haven't slept all night, and I can't bear it." He smiled, opened his mouth and yawned big.

"Hurry up, what are you dawdling about?" Chen Yuchun had already walked to the door of the house with Brother An in his arms.

Zhang Zhiwei came to the bamboo couch in two steps, and picked up the sleeping Da Zhuang neatly: "Here we come."

"I'll see off the eldest brother and the others. If you're sleepy, go home and sleep first. I'll take Qiao Niu back to the house later."

Liu Guixiang nodded: "Then I'll go back to sleep first."

"Well, slow down and walk while leaning on the wall."

"It's okay." Liu Guixiang rubbed her face, with a smile on her face: "You go, don't make big brother wait."

Chen Yuping asked: "Second sister-in-law, don't you wash your face?"

"No, I'm afraid I'll feel sleepy after washing my face. Dad, I'll go back to the room first and fall asleep."

Father Chen was not at ease, and sent his second daughter-in-law out of the kitchen.

"Father, I'm in good spirits." Liu Guixiang shivered, and gathered the jacket on her body: "The wind is really cold, so Daddy hasten to catch up on sleep, it's almost dawn."

"I'll go." Father Chen smiled cheerfully, standing under the eaves, watching the second daughter-in-law wander into the yard, and then went into the house.

Apart from Cao Geer and Qiao Niuer who were sleeping, only Chen Yuping and Cui Yuanjiu were left in the stove house.

"you do not sleep?"

Cui Yuanjiu asked back: "When do you sleep?" After a pause, he said: "I used to follow the darts. I often kept watch at night and stayed up all night. I only slept during the day."

"You really don't plan to return to the Escort Bureau?"

"Well, it's not safe to live on the tip of a knife. If you don't dislike me, I will stay in the Chen family. If you say east, I will never go west. If you think it's inappropriate, it doesn't matter. I won't return to the Escort Bureau. , I'll find a job in town. I'd love to marry you, you're right, there's a reason for that, and I really want to live with you, I've been thinking about the future for a long time What kind of partner to find and what kind of life to live, I think very carefully, sometimes I feel that I think too much, it is impossible to meet such a good person, God treats me well, let me meet I miss you, you are the person I have thought about countless times in my heart, the partner I want to find. I can’t tell if I like it, I have never liked anyone, I just want to be with you, and our grass brother Son."

Chen Yuping is not a real 19-year-old boy. He has the experience of his previous life, and he can see that this little guy Cui Yuanjiu is very sincere. Maybe he doesn’t know what is like and what is love. After all, in this era, love and love are too far away to touch and see. , How can someone who can't read a few big characters understand such delicate emotions.

But he believes that after marrying this little man, life must be extremely comfortable.

What is love, maybe it is what old man Chen said, it is a rare happiness to be able to put you on the tip of your heart.

On the second day of junior high school, Chen Yuandong and his wife took Qiao Niuer to Liu's house in the town.

In previous years, there were no bullock carts, so they walked when the weather was good, and took a ride in the village when the weather was bad.

The Chen family bought a cow last year, and this year they can drive an ox cart by themselves when they go to the town, and the family of three is at ease.

Not long after seeing Er'er and his wife away, Mr. Chen entered the stove room, and the chairs were not warm when he saw Da'er's family push the door open.

"Father, Father." Chen Yuchun put the things he was carrying on the table.

Zhang Zhiwei quickly put An Ge'er in his arms on the bamboo cot. Seeing An Ge'er, Cao Geer giggled and quickly crawled to his side. The two little milk babies fell into a ball and were beaten Squeezed and played.

Da Zhuang finished calling people, sat beside the bamboo couch, watched his younger brothers play, and laughed happily.

Chen Yuping could tell the difference of the elder brother at a glance, and said with a smile on his face: "The elder brother looks very good, and his face is full of red when he answered the words."

"It's my third brother's blessing." Chen Yuchun pointed out.

Seeing the stretched eyebrows and eyes of his elder son, old man Chen felt happy in his heart and smiled from ear to ear: "What do you want to eat at noon today, I'll tell you all."

"I want to eat something lighter. I've been a little full lately." Regarding food, Chen Yuanqiu is always the most active: "Third brother, I want to eat the pumpkin pie you made. It's crispy on the outside and slightly waxy on the inside. , sweet and fragrant, ah..." Drooling: "I really want to eat it."

I haven't eaten pumpkin pancakes for a while. Hearing what the youngest said, Chen Yuping also got a little greedy: "I don't cook at noon? I have steamed buns and dumplings at home, and I will make some pumpkin pancakes. I can eat whatever I want, Da Zhuang You can eat pumpkin pie, Angle and Cao, I will cook some pumpkin porridge."

"Braise a potato and chicken nuggets." Old man Chen added a handful of firewood to the fire pit.

Zhang Zhiwei replied with a silly smile: "I have eaten the winter melon and ham soup made by Brother Ping once, it is really delicious and fresh."

"Cooperating with you, you all order dishes that Brother Ping can cook." Father Chen couldn't help laughing: "It seems that I have to help Brother Ping today, and I can't handle the dishes."

"The stewed chicken with potatoes is also delicious."

Father Chen glanced at his wife, smiling like a blooming flower.

"Order dumplings and eat with sauce." Cui Yuanjiu didn't order.

Chen Yuping asked him: "What else?"

"I love everything you cook."

"Third brother is good at craftsmanship. Who in ten miles and eight villages can compare with it? It's a proper fairy craftsmanship!" Chen Yuanqiu interjected happily.

Cui Yuanjiu glanced at him, then lowered his eyes silently.

"Brother, what do you want to eat?"

"Me, it's fine, steamed fish and bacon? It's strange to say that the same kind of cured fish and bacon, but the one steamed by the third brother is the best, the most delicious, and the most delicious." Chen Yuchun really couldn't figure it out.

Chen Yuping knew why, he was God's own son!But he didn't say anything, just kept laughing.

Braised chicken with potatoes, steamed cured fish and bacon, winter melon and ham soup, scallion oil and taro, twice-cooked pork, stir-fried vegetables, pumpkin pie, braised fish.

It is relatively light to eat.

Chen Yuanqiu was the happiest when he gnawed on the pumpkin pie, followed by Da Zhuang, who also liked it very much.

Brother Ang and Brother Cao ate the pumpkin porridge very vigorously, and they smacked their mouths with relish.

It will still be a slack season, and there is not much work in the fields. After lunch, the cold wind blows outside, and it is not easy to visit and talk, so they all nest by the firepit, do some trivial work, and gossip.

Chen Yuping taught Brother Cao to speak, hugging him in his arms, being extra patient, teasing him to rub his face and nose.Cui Yuanjiu was sitting next to him, watching with a smile on his face, saying a few words from time to time, or holding Brother Cao in his arms, playing with him and lifting him up so that he could sit firmly on his shoulders.

It looked like a family of three.

Zhang Zhiwei didn't have the energy to play with him, so he asked Da Zhuang to play with Brother An, saying that he had something to go out for a while.

people left.

Chen Yuchun also had something to say to his family, so he didn't stop him and let him go.

"I understood it completely. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we both took our children to the old house. From the mother-in-law to the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, I spoke in the same tone, and the yin and yang were so strange that I couldn't hear it. Hiding in the corner without making a sound, it's fine if he doesn't make a sound, as long as he doesn't turn his arms towards the old house."

"In the past, whatever happened to the old house, he would always answer honestly when he came up to me. I was concerned about his face. I thought it would be okay to spend my energy and be tired. I don't think so now. Let him do what he should, don't try to push it on me."

"Eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law will stay overnight every time they go back to their parents' house. This year I will do the same. If I don't go back tonight, the couple in the old house will never go hungry. Because if you listen to me, I will be what I say, no matter how big or small, you will follow me in everything, look at my eyes, and I will put him on the tip of my heart, meticulous and considerate. If he doesn’t listen, there is always a way to cure him The third brother is right, I have to be strong, he is obsequious and not like a man, so I will take care of the outside and the inside, he can just concentrate on his work, and I don’t expect him to care about me. If you don’t do what I want, then let yourself live a more comfortable and happy life.”

This is to hold the initiative in his own hands. Before the elder brother has always put himself in a passive position, thinking that one day the elder brother will be enlightened and live a peaceful and happy life like his father and father.

In the end, he was disappointed for a while. After he woke up, the eldest brother really opened up his mind thoroughly.

Chen Yuping secretly had fun in his heart, the older brother-in-law, who is superficially naive and honest, might have a hard time in the future, cool!It's as cool as summer!
