The official road of the farmer

Ye Jun's calligrapher does not need to entertain relatives and friends this year, and it is not convenient to go out to pay New Year's greetings, so the family of six will spend at home.

Ye Junshu did not treat the children badly, and prepared snacks, dried fruits and the like.

Originally, Chinese New Year is to eat and eat.

Therefore, for Xiaoshan and the others, Chinese New Year is the happiest time for them. There are endless snacks every day, and there are all kinds of delicacies that the elder brother painstakingly cooks every meal.

They are full every day, so happy~

The first day of the Lunar New Year is when people in the village pay New Year’s greetings to each other. Basically, the lower-ranked ones pay New Year’s greetings to the elders. Starting from the grandpa of the highest seniority, all the way down, a group of adults and children are very lively and spectacular.

It's a pity that none of their family can participate in the past three years. It has to be said that this is a pity.

To Ye Junshu's surprise and comfort, none of the thirty or so children he taught would pay New Year's greetings to him at the door of his house in the evening.

This made Ye Junshu very heart-warming.

Although their family has faded out of the social circle of the village, it is obviously not transparent, and the villagers still take their family seriously.

Ye Junshu rejoiced again and again that he made the decision to teach, and that Uncle Rong really cared for them. While solving the three meals for them, he would not let them lose their relationship due to lack of contact with the villagers.

The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day when the nephew's elder brother returns to his natal family.

The only close relatives of Ye Junshu's family are his uncle's family, but because the mountain is closed by snow every year, the mountain roads are difficult to walk, so they basically take their children back to their natal home for a day or two before the snow falls, and give the New Year's gift in advance, even if it has passed .

As a matter of fact, all the brothers in their village who come in from distant lands do this, either when they return to their mother's house a year ago, or when it thaws after a year.

Only couples who sell in the village or have formed contracts with several nearby villages will return to their natal homes on the second day of the new year.

Ming'am is from Jiangjia Village next door, only half a day's walk from Yejia Village.You can go back and forth in a day.

The Ming'am family returned to the village in the evening, and brought them a small serving of glutinous rice cakes made by Wai Mumo himself.

Small, round and cute, a small white dumpling, soft and glutinous, very chewy and not sticky to the teeth, with a hint of sweetness, very popular with children, Ye Junshu couldn't help but eat several times indivual.

Ming'am looked at these children lovingly, and then said to Ye Junshu: "I'm here this time, and I'll tell you by the way, you don't need to cook and eat at noon tomorrow, and come to my house to eat."

Ye Junshu was surprised by Ming's invitation, "Ming, is this...not very good?" He said tactfully, didn't the ancients always avoid bad luck?

"Hey! Based on the relationship between our two families, we don't shy away from these things." Ming'am said nonchalantly. The two of them have always been the closest two in the village. They have helped each other since the previous generation, and the relationship is inseparable. not close.

Mrs. Ming Amu and Mrs. Ye Jiu are even more like brothers.

Now they are gone, leaving only a few such young children, lonely, especially in such a grand festival of the Chinese New Year, it is too sad to set off.

Aunt Ming and the head of the family stayed together for one night, and it was decided that they would come over on the third day of the Lunar New Year. The two families would have a lively meal together, and it would be considered a new year.

As for why noon or night was set, considering that the children are still young and the temperature at noon is not as cold as at night, we simply set the daytime.

"Can……"

"That's it." Ming'am didn't allow Ye Junshu to refuse at all, told them to come over early tomorrow morning, turned around and left.

Ye Junshu had no choice but to give up his kindness.

Early the next morning, Xiao Zhi and Jun Yi came over to call for someone, as if they were afraid that they would not go over.

Ye Junshu put on thick cotton-padded clothes for the children, one after another, all of them round and round like balls. He was afraid that the children would be cold, but unfortunately they couldn't fit, so he had to give up.

The snow on the road from the door to Ming's house has been shoveled, but the road is a bit slippery. Ye Junshu and Ye Junyi hugged each other, and held Brother Lu and Qin with the other hand, and walked slowly to Ming's house .

Uncle Hua was waiting at the door early, and when he saw them approaching from a distance, his expression was a little relaxed.

"Uncle Hua." Ye Junshu called out with the children.

"Hey!" Uncle Hua responded with a smile on his face, and looked down at the child in Ye Junshu's hands, "This is the fifth baby, he has grown up to this size." Then, he stretched out his hand to take the child, holding it firmly The ground turned upside down.

Wuwa was not at all afraid of being born, babbling and dancing in Uncle Hua's arms, looking very excited.

"Let's talk first."

A group of people rushed into the house.

Ming Amu, who had already heard the news, came out with two plates full of dried fruit snacks, and saw the children greeted with smiles on their faces, "Come, try something new first, you are welcome."

Seeing that the children were dressed so thickly that their hands and feet were inconvenient, and their faces were flushed, they hurriedly hugged them onto the kang, quickly untied and took off two pieces of clothes, and said, "Why do you dress the children so well?" Too much, it should be boring."

Ye Junshu touched his nose, feeling a little guilty, is there a lot?He didn't think there was much at all. It's so cold outside, it's not as cold as inside, so you can wear more, right?

After settling the children down, Ye Junshu saw that all the children had playmates, Uncle Hua and Brother Junyi played with the five babies and six babies who did not recognize their birth, Brother Lu took Brother Qin to follow Brother Luo, Xiaoshan and Brother Xiao Zhi somehow started playing cockfighting, fighting head to head with one foot, her face flushed red.

He simply went to the kitchen.

The kitchen structure of Ming'am's house is similar to his's, but it is not as spacious as his house. When he entered, Ming'am was waving a wooden shovel and cooking, and he was very busy.

"Ming, I'm here to help you. What do you need me to do?" He looked around and found that he should be able to help light the fire.

"No, no, let's go out and play. I can do whatever you want when you come in." Ming'am disagreed very much, and waved a wooden shovel to tell Ye Junshu to go out quickly.

In his eyes, what does a dignified man look like when he works in the kitchen? Haven't you seen that no man in his family, no matter how big or small, doesn't enter the kitchen?

Ye Junshu curled his lips, "But, I'm the one who cooks at home! Aunt Ming, please let me stay and help, maybe I can steal a teacher!"

Ming'am thought of the situation of Ye Junshu's family, so she didn't refuse, and simply called him up. Seeing that Ye Junshu really wanted to learn a lot, she didn't hide any private teachings.

Considering the special situation of Ye Jun's calligrapher, the meal at noon is rich but not rich, and rich is a variety of twelve dishes of vegetarian dishes, which are transformed into delicious delicacies by Ming's hands.

It is not rich because there is no trace of meat on it, and the only visible thing is the egg.

However, half of the dishes are cooked with eggs, and the dishes are still different, which shows his intentions.

A meal is a feast for the host and guest.

Ye Junshu originally wanted to invite back, but after ten days in a row, Ming's house was basically full every day, and the village began to invite each other to have banquets, eat this one today, eat that one tomorrow, Ye Junshu's plan had to be one and only Shelved again and again.

The Spring Festival looks quite long, and the New Year is not over until the [-]th day of the first lunar month, but the days go by quickly, and people seem to be still immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year, and the end of the festival is coming in a blink of an eye.

On this day, the folks are lively and noisy all day, and this year is over.

The sixteenth moon is still very round, hanging high in the clear night sky, reflecting the snow on the ground.

The sleeping village is so quiet that even the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs seem to be sleeping.

In the night, a stumbling figure was stretched out by the moonlight, and the sound of his footsteps stepping on the snow was very clear.

Ye Junshu woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, and he didn't know what he dreamed of. After waking up, he couldn't fall asleep. He lay on the bed and stared at the skylight for a long time.

He simply went out quietly, stood quietly in the courtyard for a while, and blew the cold night wind for a while.

I didn't prepare to go back to the room until my body became cold.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the courtyard, soft but very clear in the quiet night.

Knocking at midnight?

Ye Junshu thought of many supernatural things for a moment, but then he didn't know what to think of. He walked to the door and asked in a low voice: "Who?"

There was silence outside, and then a voice answered, "It's me."

With the familiar voice, he guessed right.

Ye Junshu opened the door, and it was Ye Junhao who stood outside.

"Brother Rat? You are..." Ye Junshu was surprised. Looking at Ye Junhao's equipment, a bag with two ends knotted on his chest and carried behind his back, and a bow and dagger hanging from his waist, he was not surprised.

"Xiao Zhouzi..." Ye Junhao forced a smile, "We really have a good understanding. I just came to look for you, and you came out! My brother is so touched!"

He also thought, if Ye Junshu fell asleep and didn't hear it, he would just leave!

Regardless of his image and the coldness of the ground, Ye Junhao sat down on his buttocks, and raised his right foot with difficulty to a comfortable position.

Then he patted his side, raised his head and smiled at Ye Junshu: "Sit down, my brother can't sleep late at night, so I came here specially to talk to you at night with candles... Well, without candles, moonlight is also good, more atmosphere haha..."

Ye Junshu frowned, squatted beside him, ignored Ye Junhao's playful smile, and asked directly, "Brother Mouse, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Junhao suppressed his smile, remained silent for a while, and then said seriously: "Zizhou, I'm leaving."

"..." I guessed it.

Ye Junhao looked a bit embarrassed at this time, but his smile was brighter than ever.

He said to Ye Junshu seriously: "Zi Zhou, I will definitely succeed!"

I don't know if it was an illusion, but he saw the wet tears on Ye Junhao's face...

Ye Junshu put his hand on Ye Junhao's shoulder and said firmly, "Brother Haozi, you will definitely succeed!"

After all, there is still someone who supports him, Ye Junhao's mood is relieved, the family's incomprehension is like a boulder weighing heavily on his heart, making him breathless.

He spent two whole months, but he couldn't convince his family, couldn't get even the slightest understanding, but mocked him indifferently for his whims...

Ye Junhao didn't know why he came here by detour, maybe he was looking for someone who would support him.

Ye Junhao showed a relieved smile, "Thank you, Zizhou."

"Xiao Zhouzi, I'm leaving." Ye Junhao pressed Ye Junshu's head, "Take care of yourself, and treat yourself better."

Ye Junhao said everything he wanted to say, then stood up, turned around, and left with a limp.

Ye Junshu touched the spot on the top of Ye Junhao's head that Ye Junhao had pressed, looked at Ye Junhao's back, and suddenly shouted, "Brother Haozi, wait!"

Ye Junhao turned around suspiciously.

"Brother Haozi, wait a minute, I have something to give you, you must wait for me! Otherwise, I won't be with you in the future!"

"Understood!" Ye Junhao laughed, thinking that he was indeed a child.

Ye Junshu confirmed that he would not leave immediately, so he hurried back to the house, hurriedly found the two bottles and money that Uncle Li had given him last time, and then ran out quickly.

He ran in front of Ye Junhao, and stuffed things over, "The pills are for internal injuries, and the ointment is very effective for external injuries. Brother Haozi, take these and put them away."

Last time, Uncle Li gave a bottle that was almost full. He listened to Uncle Li’s words for half a month, and there was still a lot left. Ye Junhao is going out, and he will inevitably encounter troubles. With these things for self-defense, it is also safe .

"Also, this is five taels of silver. You take it, and don't be reluctant to use it when it's time to use it." Brother Haozi probably doesn't have much silver with him, and he can only give so much.

"Xiao Zhouzi..." Ye Junhao's eyes were red with emotion, he really needed it, but when Xiao Zhouzi's family continued to spend money, how could he want it?

"Don't worry about me. I still have a little left for myself. Besides, Uncle Li has already promised to teach me how to hunt. We won't be short of a bite." Ye Junshu said.

"Little Zhouzi..." Ye Junhao's heart swelled, he stretched out his hand to pick up Ye Junshu, and hugged him vigorously.

Ye Junshu with his feet off the ground: "..."

He will definitely grow taller!And it will definitely be taller than anyone!

Letting Ye Junshu go, seeing his expression, Ye Junhao couldn't help laughing, raised his hand and pressed his head, "Then brother will accept it, and I will wait for my brother to give you a share!"

Ye Jun wrote expressionlessly, "You don't need to share, just take care of yourself."

Ye Junhao rubbed his head, said nothing more, then turned around and waved his hands, "I'm leaving, take care!"

Ye Junshu watched him limping and disappearing into the night, his back was straight and inexplicably tall.

He didn't ask Ye Junhao how his injury came about, nor did he ask whether his family allowed him to go out?Many things don't need to be asked, you can know the answer.

Ye Junhao is not wrong to want his family to have a good life, wants to venture out, and wants to work hard to make a career. Besides, he is not reckless, but has a plan in advance.

The conservative second uncle Er Bomu, who has been imprisoned in this inch of land in the village all his life, thinks that Ye Junhao is daydreaming, and is also worried that the child will be injured if he is not by his side, which is not wrong.

This is an irreconcilable contradiction. Only one party can persuade the other. If they cannot persuade each other, both sides will suffer.

All Ye Junshu could do was silently bless.
