The official road of the farmer

After Ye Jun Shumu sent Ming Ah Mu away, he lowered his head and looked at Ye Junshan who had been looking at him eagerly, as well as the twins who were moving around with difficulty in his hands. He smiled slightly, walked over and touched Ye Junshan appreciatively head, "Xiao Shan did a good job."

Xiaoshan rubbed his head and smirked.

The twins were also very familiar with Ye Junshu and crawled towards him, leaving a wet and bright mark on their small mouths.

Ye Junshu squatted down, picked up the small bibs around their necks, and wiped their saliva.

"Brother Lu, don't move, I'm coming!" The hill next to him suddenly ran away in a hurry. Ye Junshu looked back, and Brother Lu seemed to want to help put the basket on his back, but he was not tall enough for the basket, and his shoulders were small. Putting it into the shoulder straps, trying to stand on tiptoe is not enough.

Xiao Shan rushed over to let Brother Lu come out, and picked up the basket by himself. The bottom frame was barely a few centimeters off the ground.

Seeing this, Ye Junshu quickly stopped him, "Put down the little mountain, and the eldest brother will release it later. Come and help the elder brother to carry the fifth baby back to the house." There will be a bit of weight in the back basket if there are too many miscellaneous things. How can a few children be able to do heavy work when they are young? ?

Looking at the sky again, the twins are no longer suitable to stay outside the yard, they have to be carried back to the house to avoid catching cold.

Xiao Shan tried his best to turn his head and look at Ye Junshu. Seeing that his elder brother needed his help, he put down his back basket and went over, picked up Wuba, and followed Ye Junshu.

Ye Junzhi also ran over excitedly, "I'll help too!" Then he neatly rolled up the mat and followed into the house.

Ye Junshu arranged the twins, let Xiaoshan watch by the side, and asked Ye Junzhi to watch Brother Qin, and he took Lu Geer out who had always been some distance away from the children.

Brother Lu is still drinking the medicine, and his illness is not completely cured. He is afraid that his brother will get sick if he gets too close, so he has been paying attention to the distance.

Ye Junshu carried the basket into the kitchen, took out the contents one by one and sorted them into different categories, and put them in three large bowls. After washing, put a few of each in a bowl and leave it in the kitchen for Brother Lu to slow down. Eat slowly, he took the other two bowls and gave them to Xiao Shan and the others.

After calling Xiaoshan and the others to eat fruit, Ye Junshu carefully instructed several times not to give it to the twins, and if they were too young to eat fruit, he went back to the kitchen in peace.

When he returned to the kitchen, he started to make dinner. The cabbage given by Ming Amu was hung up and cooked tomorrow. Tonight, he was going to cook egg flower wild mushroom soup, stir-fried wild vegetables, and baked a few sesame seed cakes. This was enough for one dinner .

Ye Junshu was so busy running around that he didn't stop for a moment. Fortunately, he had a sensible brother Lu to watch the fire after he caught fire.

He was a little worried. He boiled four eggs in the morning and two more tonight. There were only a few eggs left from Ming'am. How would the children supplement their nutrition after they finished eating?This is their only source of nutrition.

How about he go to the mountains again?Where he found the pheasant today, he hasn't looked for wild eggs in the nest there...

Forget it, let's talk about it when the time comes, at most he will have the cheek to ask Uncle Li when he will go up the mountain again, and take him with him.

As soon as Ye Junshan made dinner, Ye Junzhi left with a wink. His calf was running so fast that Ye Junshu didn't even have time to say something to persuade him to stay.

After the family had dinner and cleaned up the dishes, they began the process of washing.

The twins played around all afternoon, and fell asleep soundly after eating. Ye Junshu took everyone's clothes and went to the bathroom with a bunch of radish heads.

The bathroom at home is next to the kitchen, just a few steps away. He boiled a large pot of boiling water early in the morning, preparing to bathe the little ones.

Counting it, they hadn't showered for several days, and usually just wiped their lower bodies with a towel.Ye Junshu came back from a trip to the mountains and sweated all afternoon, he could smell his body.

Washing one is washing, washing a few is also washing, just wash them all, anyway, the weather is not so cold now.

There is a bathtub in the bathroom that adults can sit in, but it is too big and too deep to fit a few children, so my father made two or three bathtubs of different sizes for children.

He carried all the hot water into the bathroom, rushed into a small bathtub and a large bathtub, poured the rest into the bathtub, and brought a bucket full of cold water to warm it up.

Xiaoshan and Brother Qin have already stripped naked and stood up. Ye Junshu first showers Brother Qin with water at a suitable temperature, rubs a little fragrant soap soap, rubs out bubbles, rinses his body with water, and then hugs him into the big Sit in the bathtub.

During this period, Xiaoshan has already consciously rubbed himself and soaked in the big bathtub!

Brother Lu...?Ye Junshu turned his head and saw that Lu Ge'er's face was rosy and seemed a little shy, and he hesitated to take off his clothes.Ye Junshu didn't think much, he brought Lu Geer over, stripped off his clothes and threw it into the basin, rinsed his naked body with warm water, rubbed the soap until it was fragrant and clean, put it in the pot... cough, put it into another small tub.

"Hehehe..."

Xiao Shan and Brother Qin had a great time playing in the water, while Brother Lu sat in the small bathtub with his head down, his whole body red and mature.

Ye Junshu was a little funny, his brother Lu's skin is really thin, but he didn't poke it open, lest Lu brother's whole body would be buried in the water.

He has been keeping an eye on the temperature of the bathtub, and when it's almost done, he hugs the warm and red child from the bubbles, dries his hair and body, puts on his clothes, and then drives them out of the bathroom.

He closed the door casually, tidied up the bathroom, took off his clothes, washed his hair and scrubbed his body, then went into the bathtub to soak in hot water, leaned against the smooth wooden wall, and squeezed his sore shoulders , Sigh comfortably, this is life!

Ye Junshu soaked the family's clothes in a basin, tidied up the bathroom, and came out. It was still early in the morning. He saw Xiaoshan's energetic and sleepless appearance. They can read.

For a period of time after he didn't go to school, Ye Junshu occasionally flipped through books in his spare time, but since the death of his father, he has never touched a book.Although the knowledge he learned in memory is still there, he still has to review it to be on the safe side. Even if he doesn't take the science test in the future, at least he won't be blind in the future.

Xiao Shan is already eight years old, and he has reached the age of enlightenment. The past two years have been delayed, and he cannot delay it any longer.Ye Junshu finally found an important job to do, he wants to teach children to read!

But now he has problems with food and clothing, and he can't afford to buy pens, inks, papers and inkstones at all, and the ones he used before are almost used up.

Ye Junshu thought about it, and decided to make some simple charcoal pencils and a sand table for learning to write tomorrow. These shouldn't be difficult... right?

The children are very interested in learning characters, and all of them are in high spirits.

Ye Junshu turned on the wick a bit, and together with the light, taught Xiaoshan to read characters one by one. Brother Lu and Brother Qin also came to join in the fun.

Ye Junshu began to read: "The heaven and earth are dark and yellow, the universe is prehistoric. The sun and the moon are full, and the celestial constellations..."

Xiao Shan and the others shook their heads and followed each sentence.

Ye Junshu first taught them to read the "Thousand-Character Classic" once, and then recognize the first sixteen characters of the Thousand-Character Classic, explaining its meaning by the way, and when they understood everything, they continued to study.

That night, Xiaoshan and the others learned these sixteen characters. He knew how to read any one of them, and he could understand the meaning in his own words.Ye Junshu was very satisfied, no matter what others thought, he felt that his children were very smart.

Early the next morning, Ye Junshu had just packed himself when there was a knock on the courtyard door.

He opened the door and saw that Ming'am came over with a large bowl full of steaming sorghum steamed buns, with a few white flour steamed buns mixed on top!He was taken aback, why so many?Not to mention eating a breakfast, it is no problem to eat throughout the day.

Ming'am didn't care what Ye Junshu's expression was, he went straight in and put the steamed buns into the kitchen, and said sharply: "I also boiled a big pot of porridge soup, and I'll order it for you to eat with steamed buns later. Five children six Babies can also eat a little bit, you soak the white flour steamed buns in porridge soup until soft, just feed them bit by bit." Ming'am found out the well-placed bowls of Ye Junshu's house, "This is for holding food right?"

"Yes..." Ye Junshu said with a bitter face, "But Ah Mu, you gave too much..." Not only does he not have to cook other food for a day, but he also has breakfast for tomorrow. How could he have the nerve to do this? many……

Ming Amu stared at him immediately, "Why, is the chicken you had last night not as good as these steamed buns? I can accept the pheasant you gave, but you can't accept Ming Amu's food?"

...This can't be counted like that!The chicken he had yesterday was a thank you gift, he thanked Ming Amu for doing so much for their family...

"Okay." Ming Amu waved his hand, "That's what your Uncle Hua meant, so there's no need to say more." Then he picked up his bowl and went out, obviously planning to use this utensil to hold porridge and soup.

Ye Junshu was about to follow, but was rejected by Ah Mu, "The little ones are getting up soon, hurry up and go!"

Ye Junshu had no choice but to turn back.

He thought distressedly, he didn't know how to pay back the favor he owed.

Of course, he will not put on the airs of a scholar who is lofty and does not eat cheap food. In the face of survival, what is face?He wasn't stupid enough to refuse other people's kindness and make his family starve and suffer for the sake of his so-called face.

He thought that when he became capable in the future, no matter whether it was him, Xiao Shan, or other younger brothers, he would repay this kindness.

After breakfast, Ye Junshu didn't go out, but stayed at home to teach Xiaoshan how to write.

He found a flat place in the yard, spread a layer of sand on it, folded a branch and cut it straight, and used it as a writing brush.

Ye Junshu watched Xiaoshan squatting and learned to write stroke by stroke according to the charcoal pen he found in the kitchen and made on the wooden board, frowning slightly.

Sure enough, it's not good, it's very inconvenient, and it needs to be improved.

Ye Junzhi loves to go to Ye Junshu's home these two days, and he doesn't want to go to the village to find other friends to play. When he came in, he saw Xiaoshan and Brother Zizhou squatting in a corner of the yard, thinking they were playing something, and ran over excitedly , but found that Xiaoshan was learning characters.

"Xiaozhi, you are here!" Ye Junshu greeted.

Ye Junzhi responded, "Brother Zizhou, you are teaching Xiao Shan to read!"

Ye Junshu nodded, and when he saw the envy in Xiaozhi's eyes and the faint desire, he asked, "Xiaozhi, do you want to learn?"

"Can I?" Ye Junzhi's eyes lit up, and he was at a loss, "Will it be troublesome, or I..." The longing in his heart overwhelmed his reason, and he couldn't say no, his eyes couldn't help but Glanced towards the hill.

Xiao Shan said to his little friend, "It's no trouble, the elder brother will also teach me, let's learn together!"

Ye Junshu smiled and said: "If you want to learn, you can learn with Xiaoshan." He was still worried about how to repay the kindness of Ming's family, so here he is!

No matter how good the relationship between Ming's family and his family is, if they only pay one-sidedly blindly, then even the best friendship will not be able to withstand the struggle.Ye Junshu naturally didn't want to let go of his affection, but he is currently unable to reciprocate.But if he taught Xiaozhi how to read characters, it would be a little effort to pay back!

The cost of going to school for people in this era is too high, and most ordinary people can’t afford to support a scholar. Take his Yejia Village as an example. In more than ten years, only a few families have children who have gone to school for two or three years to learn enlightenment. Knowing a few people who are said to be famous, there are only a dozen scholars in the entire county, and he is just a boy.

When he was admitted as a Tongsheng, it really caused a sensation in the whole village and the neighboring villages!

And the reason why he was able to go to school was because his father went out to make money in those few years, but as far as he knew, he only went to school for four years, and his family's savings were spent. Father was still thinking about whether to go out again to make money and come back, but later he gave up because of his mother.
