Dress like a farmer

Father Chen looked through the almanac, and found that February 28 is a good day for groundbreaking.

It's only mid-February, and there are still a few days left.

Old man Chen led his third son and Cui Yuanjiu to the village chief's house, and learned about the specific regulations of the Xiajian Sanheyuan in detail, and he didn't go home until it was about to have lunch.

Brother Cao, who hadn't seen Dad all morning, swooped towards Dad with his little arms and legs staggering the moment Chen Yuping entered the room.

"Father!" The little milk's voice was sweet and loud.

shit-

Chen Yuping was so frightened that he almost lost his soul, his legs were weak and his face turned pale. He was so frightened that he was frightened stupid, his mind was blank, he stared blankly, staring blankly, his precious son turned towards He flew over, he knew he should run over and hug him tightly, but he couldn't move!

Cui Yuanjiu, who was behind him, leaped over Chen Yuping with a big stride, quickly stretched out his strong arms, embraced the tumbler-like Cao Geer into his arms, turned around, took small steps back, and put the child on Chen Yuping's chest, the little boy Brother Cao didn't know how much trouble he had caused, but he was very happy to see Dad in his arms, his brows and eyes curved like crescent buds when he smiled, and his chubby little arms skillfully wrapped around Dad's neck, soft and sticky Shouted: "Daddy."

"It's okay." Cui Yuanjiu knew that Brother Ping was terrified. Seeing that he still hadn't reacted and didn't care about the other people in the room, even the adults and the children hugged each other in their arms, comforting him gently: "never mind."

"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, hug."

"This brat, this brat, today, I, I..." Chen Yuping held Brother Cao tightly with trembling hands, wanted to scold him, wanted to hit him, but couldn't bear it, he was so anxious and anxious. I'm afraid, and even more I can't wait to slap myself twice, but I was petrified!

"You said what would you do if you fell? You haven't learned how to walk yet, you just want to run? You are capable, you, I don't know why you are so powerful, you still laugh, you still laugh, you can still laugh, your heart hurts I was almost scared away by you."

Brother Cao raised his white and tender face and rubbed his father's face, he seemed to understand a little bit that he seemed to have made father angry.

The big round eyes carefully aimed at Dad, and when he saw Dad looking over, he grinned cutely and said, "Daddy." The voice was soft, small and light.

"He's still young, he doesn't understand anything, and he misses you too much. Besides, nothing happened, so don't think too much. I'm watching, maybe it's a blessing or a misfortune, just now there was no danger, maybe Brother Cao learned how to talk, put him on the ground and see if that’s the case." Cui Yuanjiu knew that Brother Ping hadn’t recovered yet, his face was still pale, and he was a little distressed, so he comforted him carefully .

Father Chen was also terrified: "You can put it on the ground and let Brother Cao try to walk. Brother Ping, don't scare him, you will scare him. If he knows that he just made a mistake, there may be problems with learning to walk." Shadows, even more difficult to learn."

"What does such a young child know?" Old man Chen said.

"You, you—" Chen Yu stabilized his mind, and kissed Brother Cao's brow: "Let him try to walk on the ground?"

Cui Yuanjiu gave an encouraging look: "Try it."

"Don't look at the children as young, but they are far less delicate than you imagined. They are the delicate children of our family. If you look around the entire Kuzhu Village, even the village head's Fu Ge'er has bumped and bumped a lot. They all grew up like this, and so do your brothers." Father Chen found it a little funny, but he also felt a little indescribably emotional.

These days really go by very fast, especially after getting married and having children, it seems that in the blink of an eye, most of the life has passed like this, and the children have grown up and become fathers and fathers.

Old man Chen also recalled the time when he was young: "When Yuan Dong and Yuan Qiu were young, they were almost all taken care of by Brother Chun. He was still a child, so he had to take care of his two younger brothers. How could he take care of him? Three times are common things, that is, you, the thin and weak Yao Guanzi, your father and I are really afraid that we will not be able to support you, even if we are going to work in the fields, we will take you with us. It’s not as delicate as Brother Cao and the four of them now. Qiao Niu’er is a girl, so it’s okay to be delicate, Brother An, Brother Cao is big and strong, so he should be raised thicker.”

"It can't be compared with what it used to be. We don't know how comfortable our life is now. It's okay to raise energetic children more carefully." Father Chen didn't agree with his wife's words: "Our four children in our family are very good-looking and rarely cry. Nao, he will be promising when he grows up."

Anyway, in his eyes, his own baby is good no matter how he looks at it.

Seeing this topic drifting further and further away, Chen Yuping hurriedly said: "Listen to my father and father, put Brother Cao on the ground and let him try to walk a few steps to see if he has learned to walk."

With that said, he put the little milk baby on the ground.

Brother Cao, who was standing on the ground, was a little frightened. He tightly held Dad's index finger with his little hand, looked left and right, and finally looked at Dad, stretching out his hand: "Hug."

"Good boy, take two steps to show Dad." Chen Yuping took two steps forward, squatted down, and looked at Cui Yuanjiu again: "You squat behind Brother Cao."

"Row."

"Good boy, let go." Chen Yuping shook his index finger, struggling a little.

Brother Cao blinked his eyes, and his little meaty hands clenched even tighter.

Chen Yuping didn't dare to use brute force, so he had to think of another way, clapped his hands, opened his arms again, and smiled at Brother Cao: "Good boy, let go, Dad hugs you."

Brother Cao understood this action, he was immediately happy, he quickly loosened Father's index finger, and then——

The small body threw itself forward.

Well, the distance was too close, and he didn't even lift his feet.

"Hehehehehe." Seemingly amused, Brother Cao, who flung himself into Father's arms, laughed happily.

Chen Yuping was helpless: "Come again in the afternoon, let's hurry up for lunch first, I guess the children are also hungry."

"Success, I'll play with them." Cui Yuanjiu picked up Brother Cao.

Old man Chen helped to light the fire, and old man Chen went to the back of the house to look at A Niu.

The food was quickly arranged.

First feed the children supplementary food, Mr. Chen feeds Brother An, and Chen Yuping feeds Brother Cao. Da Zhuang can eat by himself.

"There are only a few days left before the end of the month. Things that need to be sorted out have to be sorted out. After dinner, I went to the village to talk. Building a courtyard house is too much work. It can't be completed in a month or two. Spring plowing is about to start. The village estimates that There are not many people, and we have to go to the town to hire them." Old man Chen was talking.

The village atmosphere in Kuzhu Village is quite positive, and the neighbors in the village are friendly and united, and they care about the big things. For major events such as weddings, weddings, and house building, no matter how busy each household is, they will send someone to help. Two mud-brick thatched huts cost little money.

The bright blue bricks and black tiles are slightly more expensive, and the rich and noble courtyard houses are the most expensive. It is far from enough to rely on the help of the village. There are no serious old crafts in the village. It was built, and the old craftsman was hired by the town.

These trivial things, the village chief said this morning was very detailed, so you don't need to search around, which saves a lot of energy.

Cui Yuanjiu answered, "I'll go to town in the afternoon to settle this matter."

"The neighbors in the village who came to help, how to fix the meals for a day, there are a lot of people, the two of you alone are not enough, you go to the house of the eldest brother and the third brother."

Father Chen nodded: "I know about this."

"I'll take care of the food, one meat, one vegetable and one soup, right?" Chen Yuping was slightly impressed.

"Yes. Building a house is not an easy job. It requires effort, and the dishes need to be oily." Father Chen reminded.

"I know Dad."

I had a long lunch today, mainly because the construction of the courtyard house was too complicated, and the construction had to start at the end of the month, and all the details had to be discussed.

In the afternoon Liu Guixiang came over with Qiao Niu'er in her arms, and Father Chen talked to her about it.

"February 28, it's almost here." Liu Guixiang looked at the four children who were playing together: "I'm so busy now, I'm afraid I won't take good care of my children."

"Your uncle said, let his eldest daughter-in-law come over to help, and so does your third uncle's."

"The two sister-in-laws are safe people, so I can't rest assured."

"That's right. Your aunt and third aunt will also come to help when they turn around to arrange meals."

Liu Guixiang recalled: "I remember that the courtyard house in the village head's house seemed to take more than three months to complete. We started construction at the end of the month, and it should be June when the work is over."

"It might be, it depends on how Brother Ping and Yuan Jiu want to build it."

"It's true, the more you think about building a house, the more troublesome you will be."

The two chatted for a while, and Chen Yuandong stood in the yard and said, "Osmanthus."

"I'm here." Liu Guixiang got up quickly: "Father, he should be going to work in the field, I have to guard the stall."

"Go, go, don't worry about leaving the child in the old house."

Not long after Liu Guixiang left, Chen Yuping's howls full of surprise sounded in the room.

"Father and sister-in-law, come and see! Brother Cao can walk now! He can walk now!"

"Can you walk?" Father Chen immediately put down the half-woven straw sandals in his hand, and rushed into the house in three steps at a time: "Brother Cao can really walk?"

Chen Yuping nodded: "I took two steps, just now, I squatted a little far away, he didn't dare to rush over, he took two steps with open arms and chubby legs, and then threw himself into me with a smile arms."

Hearing that old man Chen's heart was itching, he squatted down immediately, and said to Brother Cao who was nestling in the third son's arms with a smile: "My dear boy, come to Grandpa, come quickly."

"Go, good boy, show your grandfather one." Chen Yuping patted his son on the shoulder with an encouraging smile.

I don't know if Brother Cao understands, maybe it's fun to walk?Anyway, like a duckling, he wobbled a few steps, looked about to fall at any time but didn't fall, and threw himself into Grandpa's arms safely.

When Cui Yuanjiu and old man Chen came back, Brother Cao had already walked very skillfully. He could walk several steps without being supported by anyone or a wall.

He was small and his bones were still soft, so Chen Yuping didn't dare to let him go for too long, so he hugged him to rest after playing for a while, and let him and An Geer sit on the bamboo couch and play.

"Our family's sweetheart is great!" Chen Yuanqiu hugged Cao'er and kissed his tender little face.

Brother Cao giggled, and after laughing, he extended his hand to Cui Yuanjiu beside him without hesitation: "Hug."

Chen Yuanqiu felt sore in his heart: "Little kid, the older you get, the more you will be born."

Fast forward to February 28.

After a few days of fermentation, the entire Kuzhu Village and the surrounding villages knew that Brother Ping wanted to build a grand and prosperous courtyard house.

Many men from neighboring villages asked with shy faces and smiles if they wanted to work as helpers. They didn't need money, and they just took care of three meals a day.

There were more than one or two people who came to ask questions, and there were more than a dozen. I heard that Brother Ping was in charge during the construction of the Sanheyuan, and they were excited and excited. Do not agree.

Father Chen just laughed: "They are all greedy for the food made by our brother Ping, I just know that there are so many people who are greedy and love to eat."

"It's okay for them to come if they want to. It's just short of manpower. Three meals a day and ten cents a day. That's how we calculate here." Old man Chen said.

Cui Yuanjiu didn't hide his small thoughts at all: "It's better to have a few more people, and build the courtyard house earlier."

After the Sanheyuan is built, he will be able to marry his brother Ping.

You can kiss him openly, hug him, hold his hand, and even sleep on a quilt.

Just thinking about it, my heart trembled slightly, a little rippling.
