Dress like a farmer

There is a bit of moonlight today, although it is not very bright, Chen Yuchun did not carry a lantern to illuminate the road.

From the Zhang family to the Chen family, he has walked this road countless times and is very familiar with it.

Kuzhu Village, shrouded in the hazy moonlight, is still hard to see. The whole village is quiet, without any sound, not even the chirping of insects and birds.

The rooster has not yet crowed, so it can be said that it is midnight.

The air is filled with the coldness that can only be found in early spring. When I breathe, the chill reaches my heart, and I am shivering with cold.

Chen Yuchun quickened his pace and even started trotting.

Soon, he arrived in front of Chen's house.

There are two lanterns hanging at the door of Chen's house, the lanterns sway slightly when the wind blows, the light and shadow are dim but full of warmth.

"Here we come." Father Chen vaguely heard something, opened the door, and it was the eldest son, "I knew you couldn't carry a lantern." It was a little moonlight today, and he knew his child well, so he gave the lantern to him in advance. hang up.

After a while, the things to eat were loaded onto the bullock cart, and lanterns had to be hung to illuminate them.

"You came here?" After entering the kitchen, Father Chen took a clean towel and wiped off the dew on his eldest son: "Go and sit by the firepit to keep warm." He asked again, "What about the two children?" ?”

"His father sent it back."

The rooster crowed for the first time in the chicken pen behind the house, and Chen Yuping just pushed the door open and entered.

"Father, brother."

To say the least, there is not much work, braised meat, braised pig's trotters, braised pig's intestines, tea eggs, etc., have already been marinated yesterday, so just put them in barrels and put them on the ox cart.

The remaining trivial matters, such as steaming the steamed buns, kneading the flour and waking up the noodles, etc., are easy but quite a lot of effort.

Steamed buns can be steamed at home, but steamed buns are freshly made in stores.

For this reason, the second brother also specially built an oven in the wooden tent, because it is too slow to use a pot stove.

"How did brother-in-law react yesterday?" Chen Yuping asked curiously.

Chen Yuchun spoke carefully.

The three father and son were busy with the work at hand while gossiping about family affairs.

Occasionally, there was a crackling sound in the firepit, and a small crack was opened in the window, and the wind came in. The flames were like a girl dancing lightly, trying hard to reach the iron pot. There is no need for boiling water right now, and the iron pot is hanging half-high , unless firewood is added to the firepit, the flames will not be able to reach the iron pot no matter what.

Beside the warm firepit, in the corner, Ahhui and Ahei were huddled together in a nest, close to each other. Ahhei slept soundly, but Ahhui didn't. He stared at the flames jumping in the firepit, with dark eyes, Looking at it with relish, the little paw moved and moved, a little restless eager to try, and at the same time knew that this thing should not be touched, after all, the paw was just right.

"He also asked me, if Brother Ping asked him to eat lunch, would he eat it or not?" Chen Yuchun said that he was amused, and his eyebrows stretched with a smile: "He never talked like that before, probably because of this." He ate really badly for a while, we didn't care about him, let alone the Zhang family, after suffering a lot, he finally seemed to be enlightened."

Father Chen smiled cheerfully: "That's good. If he can change for the better, don't be too forceful, and treat him better. After all, it's a matter of heart and flesh."

"But don't listen to what Dad said." Chen Yuping hurriedly said: "He is not enlightened, he is still the same. Last night, you spoke beautifully because you made a good dinner. This is a surprise for him. I'm so happy, it's been a long time since I've had a decent dinner! The second is the money you took out, I'm afraid he has never seen so much silver in his life, he was shocked by the shiny silver, and the third is to please you The matter of having lunch didn’t go as he wanted, and he still wanted to stay at Chen’s house for lunch? This February, I’ll see the situation, and I’ll keep him once or twice if he behaves well. If he takes the initiative to speak, he can’t fulfill his wish. You have to hang on to him. His temperament was raised in the Zhang family, and it’s deeply ingrained in his flesh and blood. It’s been more than ten years! If you want to break it completely, you have to do it It will take a year and a half to achieve initial results, but now, it is still superficial and cannot be taken lightly.”

Speaking carefully, the eldest brother's temperament is quite pitiful. The Zhang family's old couple prefer not to treat him as a son. At most, he is a strong laborer. Growing up in such an environment, his temperament is all for survival Formed, it is very contradictory, selfish and cowardly at the same time, a little clever but also a wimp, he knows the unfairness he encountered, but he dare not resist, because he grew up in such an environment from birth, with a natural fear.

Such a person is weak when he is strong, and strong when he is weak.

He can't be loved and tolerated, the more the Holy Mother treats him better, he will only subconsciously push people in front of him, resist all disasters and injustices for him, and then he can live a stable life.

What he needs is to be trained, and only after training can he be given warmth.

Father Chen frowned, feeling that what the third son said was a bit serious.He wanted to speak, opened his mouth, but swallowed the words in his throat.

Forget it, although I don't quite agree with the third son's idea, but the elder son did listen to the third son's words, and he is now comfortable.

Alas, the children are grown up, and he can't keep up, so let's not worry about it.

As long as the children can have a good life.

"Listen to you, brother Ping can say whatever he wants." Chen Yuchun answered with a smile on his face.

It was still the third brother who thought clearly, without the third brother reminding him, he really thought that Zhang Zhi was enlightened, and even faintly happy about it, thinking that he would work in the field during the day and clean up the house and outside, so he would give him a better dinner for dinner. The left and right families have earned money, and they have to take care of their bones so that they will not feel uncomfortable when they are old.

Chen Yuping is worried, the eldest brother tends to soften his heart, this is very similar to his father: "It's okay to have a good dinner yesterday, but it will remain the same for the past few days, you have to continue to pretend to be very tired and exhausted. You must not touch your hands, even your own clothes, depending on the time, and occasionally let the elder brother wash it for you, and I will remind you later. Brother, you have to think about your past, when you gave birth to two children. But you haven't sat down for a whole day, you miss your brother-in-law, think more about yourself, and take a good rest now."

Speaking of this, he said seriously: "Brother, I will accompany you to Shenjia Village in a few days, and ask Dr. Shen to take your pulse and adjust your body."

"I agree with this matter. Brother Ping is right. Brother Chun, you have to ask Dr. Shen to take your pulse. Now we are not short of money, and you don't need to worry about family affairs. Just guard the store and do business. It's not too hard, and it's time to take advantage of this time to recuperate your body." Thinking about the hardships and fatigue the eldest son had suffered before, Father Chen suddenly felt that what the third son said was quite right, as the eldest son-in-law, he should Break up your temper more.

"Brother, you have to hold on tight to your money."

"I have always been in charge of the family's money." Chen Yuchun thought of something else: "Don't worry about the spring clothes of Brother Cao, leave this to me, and I just want to buy spring clothes for Da Zhuang An."

Chen Yuping knew what big brother was thinking, so he complied with him: "Succeed, I will leave it to big brother, and I will save a lot of trouble." He smiled relaxedly: "I also give big brother a whole set of spring clothes, don't worry too much, The Chen family didn't keep him for lunch, and you are still very tired, give him some comfort, let him wash your clothes and hair for you."

Seeing the ridicule on the third son's face, old man Chen couldn't laugh or cry: "As long as you have a lot of thoughts, I think Brother Cao must have learned from your spirit."

"Yuan Jiu has to leave today. He sets out early in the morning and arrives at the county seat in the evening. He will stay in the county seat for a day tomorrow and return in the evening the day after tomorrow." Three days, three full days!Thinking of Brother Cao who was particularly noisy in front of him, Chen Yuping had a headache: "Father, otherwise, you take Brother Cao at home, and Big Brother and I will guard the shop."

He was worried about his old waist, he felt a little sore when he woke up today.

"I won't change it, I'll bring my own cub." Father Chen shook his head firmly: "Since years ago, this child has been in front of you every day. Even if I want to take over, he will not be happy. Don't look at him as young, he is still a child. That's a good idea." Then he smiled.

Chen Yuchun comforted the third brother: "Brother Cao likes you the most. When you are tired and want to rest, he won't make a fuss about playing. He just clings to you. You should pay attention to yourself, don't just do whatever he wants, hold on." Don't stop and rest."

Gossiping about homework and chatting, things are over before you know it.

The sky was slightly bright, and the things were loaded onto the ox cart just like the food.

Father Chen, Chen Yuchun and his son drove away slowly in a bullock cart.

Cui Yuanjiu came out of the house.

"Have you been awake for a long time?" Seeing his energetic appearance, Chen Yuping asked.

Cui Yuanjiu pointed to the dead tree in the corner of the courtyard: "I also went to the mountain. I wanted to go into the stove house. Seeing you talking, I thought it was inappropriate. I didn't have any work to help me, so I went to the mountain to pick up some firewood. , Our firewood is used up too fast. When I come back from the county, I will find a day to call up Mr. Yuan Qiuyuandong, go to the deep mountains, and drag a few more dead trees back. There is no burning firewood outside. .”

"No wonder the hair on the forehead is wet." Chen Yuping dragged him into the kitchen, took a clean towel and wiped the hair on his forehead: "Eat breakfast now?"

"It's okay to eat now, and I'll go to town after eating."

"There are buns and porridge." Chen Yuping took two bowls of porridge.

Seeing this, Cui Yuanjiu smiled contentedly: "Are you eating with me?"

"if not?"

Cui Yuanjiu didn't speak, the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears, the porridge didn't have sugar, but he felt it was very sweet and fragrant.

When old man Chen and Chen Yuanqiu had breakfast, seeing that Chen Yuping hadn't eaten, old man Chen asked, "Yuan Jiu left?"

"Well, I left early in the morning."

"The youngest stay at home."

Chen Yuanqiu, who was eating steamed buns with big mouthfuls, nodded.

At this time, Zhang Zhiwei came over.

Holding An Ge'er in his arms, with Da Zhuang at his side, and carrying a bamboo basket on his back, it was a duck with tied wings and feet.

"Father." His eyes fell on the fat and white buns: "I'm eating breakfast."

"Yeah." Old man Chen put down the bowl and chopsticks: "It's ready to go to the ground."

Chen Yuanqiu gulped down the white porridge, stretched out his hand to take a steamed bun from the bowl, opened his mouth and bit off half of it, revealing the hot sauerkraut residue inside, the more he chewed, the more fragrant he tasted, the more delicious he ate.

Zhang Zhiwei stared blankly, feeling a little hungry.

The breakfast prepared by Brother Chun was yesterday's fried leftovers. It tasted good, but it was far less delicious than the steamed stuffed buns made by Brother Ping.

"Youngest, after you finish eating, clean up the house. I'll take Brother An and Da Zhuang to play at the second sister-in-law's house." Brother Cao is also at the second sister-in-law's house.

"All right!"

Chen Yuping held Brother An in one hand and Da Zhuang in the other: "Brother, you are busy, I will take the child to play first."

"Oh." Zhang Zhiwei was a little anxious: "Duck, Yaya hasn't come to kill yet."

"It's okay, I'm here. I'll stay at home if I don't go down to the ground today. Big brother, you can do your work." Chen Yuanqiu waved his hand, and finally he was full, and his stomach was a little full. He moved the chair and leaned lazily The wall, with a satisfied face.From the corner of the eye, he saw the duck in the bamboo locust, smiled happily, and muttered to himself: "I ate you at noon, and I haven't eaten rice wine duck for a long time. I can ask my third brother to make rice wine duck." Thinking about the delicious taste of rice wine duck, he I rubbed my hands together excitedly, and my eyes were shining brightly: "I still have to go to Shenjia Village to get some rice wine. I can get some more, and I can have a few sips. I can also buy some pork ribs with meat. The braised pork ribs made by the third brother are special for drinking." He couldn't help but licked his lips, touched his swollen belly and sighed: "It's so happy to be my third brother's younger brother!"

Zhang Zhiwei in the corner stared at him with hunger, swallowing hard.

He dreamed last night that Brother Ping made rice wine duck, it was delicious!Waking up early in the morning, without doing anything, he went into the duck pen and caught the fattest duck, thinking about how to let Brother Ping make rice wine duck to satisfy his cravings.

He thought a lot, but he didn't expect that Brother Ping didn't keep him for lunch.

This day is too bitter, it is too bitter.

The author has something to say: How about posting the second update at noon in the future?
