Through the small days of farming

He didn't have a wife last night, and Chen Mingren was depressed all day long, especially when he saw Shen Wei, a big man with a happy face, his heart was even more stuffy.

Even Shen Wei ate the meat.

He missed it because he fell asleep.

Chen Mingren found him even more unpleasant.

The next morning, when Bai Niannian was having breakfast, he casually called the two little guys together, "Go to the mountain with my brother today."

"Sleepy..." Ming Li rubbed his eyes, yawned, and lay in a daze on the bed for a while before fully waking up.

I looked to the side, no one was there.

The younger brother has already got up, so he has to get up too.

I dressed slowly, went out and found that my younger brother was already sitting at the table having breakfast, smelling the aroma of chestnuts, what did my brother call chestnut rice.

"Brother, why did you get up so early today?" After Ming Li finished washing, he sat next to his younger brother, picked up his own bowl, and took a bite of the rice. It was delicious, and he narrowed his eyes happily.

"Didn't I tell you last night?" Bai Niannian took food for the two little guys and explained, "I'm taking you two to play in the mountains today, do you know if you are obedient? Otherwise, I won't take you there next time." .”

"Yeah, I remembered, bro, I said it yesterday, but I forgot." Ming Li said while eating, even if there is no food, he still thinks it is delicious to eat alone, and it is the first time for him to eat chestnut rice .

"What are you going to bring to the mountain? Pack it up, we'll go to the mountain after eating." Bai Niannian finished eating the last bite of rice, put down the bowl, and went out to see if the chicken was ready?

"Brother, where did eldest brother go?" Ming Li looked left and right, but didn't find that eldest brother was at home.

Mingde picked out a big broken chestnut from the rice and ate it, before replying, "Brother and Uncle Shen went to the mountain."

"Well, finish eating quickly, we are full and go to help with work."

"Brother, should we take Bai Bai with him? Bai Bai will be scared at home by himself." Mingde dug some rice and put it in Bai Bai's bowl.

"No."

Ming Li refused: "We are going to work on the mountain, not to play, it is inconvenient to take Baibai there, the mountain is so big, what if Baibai gets lost?"

"I will take a good look at it for nothing." Mingde promised.

"You can ask brother, if brother says yes, we can take it there."

Mingli thought to himself, if he helps with the work, the younger brother would be bored there alone, so he would take Bai Bai there and let Bai Bai watch over his younger brother.

"Brother, can I take Bai Bai with me?" As soon as Bai Niannian entered the door, Mingde hugged his thigh.

"No." Bai Niannian disagreed, "Baibai is still young, shall we take him with him when he is older? Otherwise, Baibai will get lost on the mountain and he won't be able to come back."

"Can't I look at it for nothing?" Mingde said dejectedly.

"No." Bai Niannian packed up some rotten clothes, put them in the basket, and waited at the door for Brother Ning and An Cheng to come together.

The doors and windows of the house were locked, and they took the two of them to Ning Ge'er's house.

"Brother Ning? Is Brother Ning here?" Bai Niannian shouted outside the door.

"The door is unlocked, Brother Nian, come in!" Brother Ning's soft voice came out.

Bai Niannian pushed the door open, but it was unlocked, and led them in, "Brother Ning, are you ready?"

Brother Ning was adding water to the puppy at home, when he saw them coming, he smiled and said, "Wait for me, it will be ready soon."

After finishing speaking, he wiped his clothes on his hands, went to the kitchen to get a basket, put a few cornbreads in it, and hurried out, "Brother Nian, I'm fine, let's go."

"Ah."

"Brother Ning, what did you bring in the basket?" Bai Niannian asked curiously, the smell was a little familiar.

"I brought some tortillas, didn't I want to take a few children? I thought they might be hungry, so I brought some tortillas." Ning Geer took An Cheng's little hand and told him to walk carefully, "You have a lot of things in your basket, what are they?"

"It's similar to you, but I brought cooked chestnuts to the mountain so that they can eat when they're hungry. There are also some rotten clothes. There may be bugs on the ground. Let them rest on the ground."

The chestnuts were cooked by the way when he was making chestnut rice this morning.

I don’t take the water with me like yesterday. I eat two persimmons when I’m thirsty. The persimmons are big and sweet and quench my thirst.

"You guys stay here, don't run around, you know?" He took them to the place where they cut wood.

Chen Mingren and Shen Wei had already bundled several bundles of firewood on the ground. Seeing them coming, they knocked down a lot of chestnuts for them and continued to chop firewood.

"Brother, we will help you pick it up too."

Mingli Mingde ran to Chen Mingren's side to help pick up the smaller branches.

Shen Wei was picking up branches over there, but Chen Ancheng couldn't help, so he followed Mingli and Mingde to help pick up branches.

The smaller ones will be moved over, the medium ones will be dragged over, and the larger branches will be dragged over by the three of them together.

Seeing that the three of them were working enthusiastically, Chen Mingren told them, "Be careful, don't trip over, and don't go to places with lush grass."

After they had worked for a while, Bai Niannian went over with the things and waved to them, "Come here and have a rest and eat something."

"Brother, look at the branches we brought back." Mingde ran over excitedly, without wiping off the sweat on his face, proudly pointed to the small pile of branches and said to Bai Niannian.

"It's amazing." Bai Niannian knelt down and wiped the sweat off the faces of the three of them, took out the tortillas and chestnuts, told them to sit in their ragged clothes and rest, and help them later.

The three little guys nodded obediently.

It seems really tired.

"If you're tired, take a rest here and then go help, do you know?" Bai Niannian emphasized again.

"I know." ×3, seeing that they all understood, Bai Niannian went back and smashed chestnut thorns with Ning Geer.

This time the speed was not so fast. The two big men went down the mountain twice before they got a basket of chestnuts.

Except for going home for dinner at noon, the seven of them packed up their things and went down the mountain until the evening cooking time.

The chestnuts harvested today are only half more than yesterday, and there are still a lot of chestnuts on the tree that have not been knocked down. If it is just the two of them, it is probably too late.

After eating, Chen Mingren bathed the two little guys, and not long after, the two little guys climbed into bed and slept. Even if they liked to pester them for nothing, they couldn't resist the drowsiness and fell asleep.

It was a tiring day today. Although they said they would take a rest when they were tired, they also worked all day and fell asleep when they got into bed at night.

While Chen Mingren was bathing the two little guys, Bai Niannian went to find Brother Yu.

"Brother Yu, are you there?" Bai Niannian shouted loudly while knocking on the door.

"Here we come." Brother Yu heard his voice, and hurried to open the door, "Brother Nian, why are you here?"

"Come in, let's talk in the house." The mud room Yugeer built, a kitchen, a living room, and three rooms, is not too small.

Brother Yu didn't have much money on him, so he didn't have a banquet, he just packed his luggage, moved his things, and lived in with his two children. Brother Yu was basically at home and didn't go out, so as to prevent him from hearing gossip in the village sad.

Brother Ning poured him a cup of scented tea, and the two little fellows joined him, "Uncle Bai."

"Hey." Bai Niannian responded, and mysteriously took out a paper bag of chestnuts from his bosom, "This is what Uncle Bai gave you."

"We still have quite a few at home, Ah Mo sent us a lot yesterday." Brother Yu laughed as he sewed the insole.

"There is one, this is what I want to bring over for them to taste."

"By the way, you sent a lot of persimmons to my grandma's house, and he also asked grandpa to send them over. Don't send any more." Yu Geer pointed to the kitchen and said, "Peel these persimmons. I have a morning."

"You don't want it, I'm still reluctant to give it!" Bai Niannian joked, "There are no more persimmons, so why don't you go to the mountain to get some chestnuts together?"

"Chestnuts can be added to rice to make chestnut rice, which can save a lot of food, otherwise it's good to make snacks for the two children in the family."

"Having been busy sewing shoes all day long, do your eyes miss it?"

"You don't think about yourself, you have to think about the two children. You are bored at home all day, and the two little guys are bored by you. If you have time, bring them to our house to play."

"The two little guys in my family are also taken to the mountain. Just watch them while working. There are still a lot of chestnuts on the mountain. Do you want to go together?"

"You've said it like this, can I not go?" Brother Yu said angrily.

"However, can this chestnut really be added to the rice?"

"Of course, we ate chestnut rice this morning."

Like most families in the village, Brother Yu's family eats twice a day when the farming season is not busy.

However, even if they eat two meals a day, the two children are better than when they first came here. The blood on their faces looks more abundant, and they are not thin and weak. It can be seen that Brother Yu left that house and ate well. Sleep well, and don't have to serve the whole family.

Now they only need to take care of the three of them. He is not like Huang San, who wished to starve his two elder brothers to death, and would not give them anything to eat.

Coupled with the absence of Huang San's scolding, the faces of the two little guys gradually turned rosy.

The size of their town is big, but rich people will not buy the shoes he made, and poor people have the money to buy the shoes he made.

He could imagine that the lucrative job of making shoes would not last long.

"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow." Brother Yu said, thinking about what is suitable for him to make a living.

He will never go back to that home.

When his father came over yesterday, he gave him another tael of silver, saying it was for his two children.

He knew that his father and Ah Mo loved him dearly, but they helped a lot.

Even if the eldest brother and the second brother don't say anything, the two brothers in the family will still have opinions.

He didn't want his eldest brother and second brother's family to be at odds because of himself.

"Brother Nian, tell me, is it okay to rent an ox cart from the village to transport firewood to the town to sell firewood?" Brother Yu thought about it, and found that this method is really suitable for him. Renting an ox cart costs only ten yuan. For a day, a car of firewood can be sold for thirty or forty Wen in the town.

As soon as Brother Yu asked, Bai Niannian knew that he wanted to do it, and shook his head, "It's hard, let's not talk about how tiring it is to get a car of firewood, just say that you transported the firewood to the town, where do you sell it? "

The people in the town basically have firewood that they buy and sell on a regular basis. Otherwise, wouldn't Li Daniu, who has a bullock cart, do this way of making money by himself?
