Brother so proud

"Yes, medicinal materials. Dad, I had this idea before, but because I didn't think about it clearly, I didn't mention it to you. But now..."

"Have you thought about it?"

"I have read medicine books, asked Dr. Xu, and asked about the prices of various medicinal materials in the pharmacy, and the selling price in jinliang. I have been going up the mountain these days to look for the wild herbs on the mountain. Father, my So this decision was made after careful consideration.”

He Youcai glanced at He Ze and then lowered his head. He put the pipe in his mouth and took it down without taking a puff, "It's not that Dad doesn't believe you, it's just that our family has never been exposed to this since our ancestors." My son... Although you have made money, but after paying off the family's foreign debts, the rest, your mother and I originally planned to keep it for your marriage with Brother Ang..."

"Father, I'm still young, what are you in such a hurry for?" He An, who had been sitting by the side, picked up a piece of pastry and put it into his mouth, and then continued after swallowing it, "Brother's idea is good, you guys I used to force him to study, but brother didn’t like it, now he has something he wants to do, isn’t it a good thing?”

After finishing speaking, He An blinked at He Ze, picked up another piece of chestnut cake and waved it in front of his eyes.He Ze understood, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded slightly.

He Youcai looked at his two brothers' small movements, and his brows relaxed, but his mouth was not angry, "Brother An has grown up too, so I won't help daddy but your brother, daddy This heart... bitter!"

After he finished speaking, he patted his chest with a sad face.

He Ze and He An looked at each other, picked up a pastry and handed it to the plate in front of He Youcai, and said in unison, "Daddy, you eat."

"..."

He Youcai had no words, so he snorted coldly, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

He Ze continued his efforts and said, "Father, the cost of planting medicinal materials in this piece of land is not expensive, it's just a lot of effort. Besides, I'm already eighteen, so I have to find something to do for myself, right? It's outrageous for you two elders to take care of you all the time."

"You still know, you?!" He Youcai squinted at him, took another puff of cigarette, and said, "Now you're thinking about it. When you came back from the academy, I asked you to learn how to do it with me. Carpenter work, at that time you were unwilling to live or die, I was still thinking about what you would do in the future... Okay, the men of my He family must have this ambition, since you have this confidence, I will discuss it with your mother when he comes back discuss."

"Father, then I will wait for your good news!"

He Ze poured He Youcai a cup of tea to please him, and pushed it in front of him, who took a sip with a smile on his face.

While He Youcai was drinking tea, He An gave He Ze a thumbs up, and He Ze picked up a piece of chestnut cake and gagged him.

He An didn't stop talking, and after a long while, he said inarticulately, "Brother, how could you be like this..."

He Ze laughed, and didn't answer any more. He just turned his eyes around, and then stopped on the pile of firewood by the courtyard wall. The firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea... This simple joy of life made him Some have forgotten the last ten years.

Still, it's pretty good.Now, it's really good.

Time passed quickly, and I didn't know what He Youcai told Li Shi that night, but Li Shi called He Ze aside early the next morning, and stuffed ten taels of silver into his hands.

The 19 taels he got back last time, plus Wei Quan's two taels a few days ago, the family has about 20 taels of silver.But I heard from Mrs. Li before that the family still owed three or four taels of silver, and if they were all paid back, there would be almost five taels left now.

Five taels of silver is not much, but it is enough to ensure the food, drink and flowers of a family of four for a year.But firstly, he was afraid that something might happen to his family, and secondly, he now uses a piece of land to grow medicinal materials, so there are only three pieces of land in the family, but the vegetable field at the head of the village is only suitable for growing vegetables. A grain field is obviously not enough.

A piece of land is about two taels of silver, and next year he estimates that he will have to add a few pieces of medicinal material land, and if he wants to buy it now, he will definitely buy a few more.

Or... Should he find a way to earn some money again?

He Ze turned around in his mind, and before he recovered, he asked Mrs. Li to drag him to have breakfast.It was sunny again today, and the sun had already entered the house by the time the family put down the dishes.

Due to the heavy rain in the past two days, although the time was short, only a few hemp plants fell sporadically, but it also made Li Shi anxious, and even took He Youcai to the field with them.

He Youcai and He An walked in front holding sickles, while He Ze and Li Shi carried baskets behind.I ran into a lot of villagers on the road, and I guess everyone had the same thoughts, and they were afraid that another heavy rain would ruin the harvest, which would be fatal.

Because of irrigation problems, the corn fields of the villagers are all connected together.Occasionally when there is a gust of autumn wind, there will be golden waves of rice rolling in the wind, which makes people feel happy.

The two pieces of land are about two acres, and it takes two days for a family of four to harvest.

Because there is no machine, everyone cuts the mature millet seedlings first, dried them in the sun, and then manually threshed them—in a larger ladder-shaped wooden frame, holding a handful of millet seedlings and beating them continuously towards the frame until the grains fell off. .

The sun was very hot, and He Ze took on the job of picking the harvested millet home. In the past two days, not only was he exhausted, but his skin was not as pale and weak as it was before, and he looked much stronger.

Li's heart ached, but He Ze finally felt at ease.

In two days, there were only sparse rice waves that could not be seen, and there was a piece here and there, and it was very empty.So much so that He Youcai, Li Shi, and Xiaoan all returned home. When He Ze came to pick the last two baskets of millet seedlings in the field, Lin Yu's limping back clearly entered his sight.

Putting all the millet seedlings in the field into the basket, He Ze took the sickle and headed towards Lin Yu over there.

"He Ze? Have you collected the ones from your field?"

When He Ze came over, it was probably because his ankle was still hurt. Lin Yu was kneeling in the ground cutting millet seedlings, his clothes were covered with mud, and his knees were sunken a little.

Noticing a sudden shadow in front of him, he raised his head, with some mud on his face.

"...The injury hasn't healed yet, why are you rushing out?" He Ze lowered his head and glanced at him with complicated eyes.

"Aren't you afraid that it will rain again? Everyone in the village has accepted it, but my family is not accepting it. My mother is worried, so..."

"So you're kneeling here?"

He Ze suddenly bent down to support his arm, and the latter paused and stood up.

"...Well, kneeling is more comfortable, I can't stand after bending over for a long time," Lin Yu pouted, as if explaining, "My injury is almost healed, really."

He Ze didn't answer, but with a cold face, he found a piece of turf on the ridge of the field and supported Lin Yu to sit down.Sweeping his hand lightly on the green turf, there seemed to be a faint green fluorescent flash, rushing into Lin Yu's body.

Lin Yu didn't notice anything.

"Sit down first, if you are tired and rest for a while, can you still die?"

Kneeling and cutting corn seedlings, this is something only Lin Yu can do. He just saw it and almost thought he had done something heinous.

Lin Yu didn't speak, just looked up at him and immediately lowered his head.It was the first time He Ze saw his guilty look, and finally couldn't hold back his laughter, "Okay, it's still early, I'll cut it for you first, by the way, where's Aunt Lin?"

He Ze looked around, but he didn't find Mrs. Zhang.

"I don't want you to cut it for me..." Lin Yu shook his head, and then continued, "Em went back with a basket of millet seedlings, and it will take some time to come back."

Since his foot injury wasn't healing quickly, Ammo had to follow into the field.But his mother's health has been much better recently, so he didn't stop him.

And just now he only built half of the basket, which is not heavy and should be able to carry it.

"Okay, sit down and rest for a while and your feet will be comfortable."

"Hey! He Ze..."

Seeing that He Ze had picked up the sickle and headed in, Lin Yu called out to him, but the latter didn't respond at all.

He Ze's speed was very fast, but he mowed a large piece of land in a short while.

Lin Yu sat there feeling like he was on pins and needles, and He Ze seemed to feel it when he wanted to stand up several times. He would always look back at him, and he withered for some reason.

Looking around several times, Lin Yu wanted to bury He Ze's face in the millet seedlings whenever he saw someone looking in this direction.

A man is helping to collect the millet seedlings of their family, why does the more he thinks about it, the more wrong it becomes?

"Brother Yu, why are you sitting here? Are you tired?"

A voice came, and Lin Yu came back to his senses. Mrs. Zhang was standing beside him with a load of baskets.When his eyes touched him, his expression suddenly changed, "You... didn't fall, did you? I was fine when I went back..."

As she spoke, Zhang put down the basket, grabbed Lin Yu's shoulders with both hands, and frowned.

"No, no," Lin Yu waved his hands quickly, "I was a little anxious when I came over just now, this is muddy water splashed."

"Really? You kid too..."

"Okay, Eminem, I'll just sit here and rest for a while, it's okay." Lin Yu had a smile on his face.

"It's fine, you are E'Mu's lifeblood, so nothing can happen," Mrs. Zhang looked Lin Yu up and down several times, and finally felt relieved when she saw that there was nothing unusual. He froze, his eyes widened, "Then... who is that?"

"...Yes, He Ze."

"Boy from the He family?" Mrs. Zhang turned her head, "Why is he in our field?"

"He said...he said his land was harvested, cut it for me... for a while..." Lin Yu pursed his lips, his voice broken.

"This... this is outrageous!"

Mrs. Zhang glanced at He Ze's back again, took off her shoes and got off the ground.Lin Yu was anxious, and quickly stood up and followed.

Getting up this time, he sensitively found that his wound didn't seem to hurt at all.Lin Yu didn't care about being happy, but walked faster.

"Aunt Lin, are you back?"

Seeing the two of them approaching, He Ze stopped harvesting the millet seedlings and stood up straight.

"He family... He family boy, why are you in my field? You, where is yours? Finished collecting?"

"Well, it's over. Isn't Lin Yu still hurting his feet? I'll come and help him."

"This... Aunt Lin, thank you in advance, hurry back and hurry back!" Zhang Shi said and pushed He Ze, "If others see this, what will happen!"

"Aunt Lin..."

"Boy from the He family, I know what you mean, just listen to what Aunt Lin said, and hurry back. Everyone in the village is here at the moment. If you come to our house to collect food for us, others may think what you think! To you, yes Brother Yu is not a good thing!"

Mrs. Zhang pushed He Ze harder, and the latter paused, then pushed away his hand twice, "Aunt Lin, if you have this reason, you can just tell them that you hired me as a helper. , isn’t that all right?”

If the affluent families in the village are short of manpower during the autumn harvest, they will hire one or two strong men to help, just for a little wages.

"This……"

"He Ze, go back quickly!" Seeing Zhang's expression of hesitation, Lin Yu took a few steps forward to hold his arm, and then said, "My feet don't hurt anymore, so such a little work is not a problem at all." ,Do not worry."

"...It really doesn't hurt anymore?"

It's just a foot injury, he should have cured Lin Yu earlier, otherwise it wouldn't have delayed the Lin family's food collection.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, you can go back." Lin Yu nodded heavily.

"That's fine, take good care of your wounds, and I want to ask you for a little favor in two days, so I'm leaving first."

A little busy?What are you busy with?

Lin Yu froze for a moment, then raised his eyes to see that He Ze had gone far.Mrs. Zhang looked at He Ze's back, with more doubts in her eyes.

The author has something to say: Lin Yu: Everyone told you to chase me.

He Ze: No way.

Lin Yu: Well, say it again.

He Ze: Daughter-in-law, I have to build a house and buy a car to chase you~
