Considering that Yang Cheng's family is about to add a child, it is not easy to raise a child. Wu Yonglan will be in the childbearing stage for more than a year. Although the women in the village are not so delicate, they can't work as hard as before. After the birth, eating and drinking again, the pressure on the couple will definitely increase a lot.

Taking advantage of this, Yang Ye offered to take care of his own family in the future and not let Yang Cheng help him any more.

Not only is the acre of land under his own management, but he does not let Yang Cheng pay any expenses for his daily life, and he is completely responsible for his life.In fact, this is what he should have done. It's just that the original owner's disposition is standing there. He didn't know what reason to talk to Yang Cheng so that he wouldn't have too many doubts. Now, using the child's excuse, It's just right to make it clear.

Yang Cheng heard that he had recovered from the joy of being promoted to a father. He should be happy that his younger brother has such an awareness, but it has become a habit for his younger brother to rely on him all these years. When he suddenly said such enlightened words, he The first feeling was not happiness, but worry, he was afraid that Yang Ye would do some extreme things.

"Aye, you are very relieved to think about it like this, but you haven't done much work in the fields since you were a child. You have been studying all the time, and you will spend a lot of money on the scientific examination in the future. How can you and Axi afford it?"

"Brother, you don't have to worry. Now that I have a family, it would be shameful to rely on you and sister-in-law. Even if you are not afraid of other people's words, you will feel sorry for yourself. You can take care of your sister-in-law at ease and spend more time with your children."

Wu Yonglan, who woke up early after fainting, was not as worried as Yang Cheng after hearing these words, but instead helped Yang Ye persuade her husband: "Da Cheng, since the second brother has this kind of heart, it is a good thing, parents will go Morning, he knows how much you love your second brother all these years, so don't let your second brother miss you because of your blind love."

Yang Cheng turned his back and did not answer Wu Yonglan's words.

When Wu Yonglan married into Yang's family, she had no parents-in-law, and she and Yang Cheng met each other's eyes before being together. She used to live freely and happily, not as difficult as ordinary daughter-in-law, and she was secretly happy for a long time.

But after a long time, she realized that every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. Yang Cheng is extremely partial to his younger brother. Who would like to raise his younger brother like a son? Cheng had quarreled a few times, but it didn't shake Yang Cheng's attitude. If there were too many quarrels, it would actually affect the couple's relationship.

Later, her stomach didn't move for a long time, and she felt ashamed of Yang Cheng in her heart, and she didn't dare to talk about Yang Ye anymore, but she gradually figured it out. At the age of ten, the two brothers came here dependent on each other, and the husband is just such a relative.

Moreover, when the two of them got married, Yang Ye also proposed to separate the family, not living together disturbed the life of the couple. She was soft-hearted, so she used to raise Yang Ye with her husband.

But now that Yang Ye offered to bear the burden of life on his own, it undoubtedly poured water on the seeds buried in her heart, and every sentence was in her heart, and she had no reason not to help Yang Ye speak.

Wu Yonglan pushed Yang Cheng who kept silent: "Dacheng, the second brother is married now, and Axi is a capable little brother. He will take care of the second brother in daily life. What are you still insisting on, little brother?" The life of the couple depends on others, and the second brother is a scholar, so I feel uncomfortable."

Yang Cheng frowned, breathed out and didn't want to agree.

At this time, Wu Yonglan wanted to wink at Axi, but she could see that she was looking down at her toes, so she called out, "Axi."

Ah Xi raised his head when he heard the sound, and he listened to everything he said, but he didn't know if Yang Ye really wanted to take care of himself, or if he was just saying something angry, so he glanced at Yang Ye, hoping to get some advice on who to help He reminded him, but Yang Ye didn't look at him.

He pursed his lips, and had no choice but to say: "Don't worry, brother, I, I will take care of it..."

What should I call him? In front of Yang Ye, he couldn't speak straight.

Fortunately, Yang Ye said at this time: "This matter is settled like this."

His words were very decisive, and Yang Cheng's furrowed brows could almost pinch a fly to death. In order not to let him say anything more, Yang Ye put on a smile that couldn't reach his eyes: "Why don't you give me a few months, big brother, when the time comes, I will be really happy." If you can't go on, you don't need to say it, you have to reach out to your brother."

These words made Yang Cheng feel a lot more relaxed.

Wu Yonglan said: "It's better this way, the second brother is thoughtful."

Yang Cheng also had no choice but to let go: "Okay."

After the matter was settled, it was already noon. Yang Cheng originally wanted to stay with Yang Ye and Axi for dinner, but Yang Ye didn't agree. The couple had a baby. There must be a lot of personal things to say, so he won't be here to join in the fun up.

"I see that my second brother seems to have grown up all of a sudden." After the two left, Wu Yonglan murmured, she naturally attributed Yang Ye's change to her marriage, and it is said that a woman will grow up overnight after getting married. It is also true that a man is married.

On the way back, Yang Ye didn't speak. He felt that the boy was following behind his buttocks like a little tail, keeping a close distance. When he was about to reach the door of the house, he thought of the boy's hesitation to speak today.

He said: "Axi, you can call me by my name directly from now on."

Axi's heart skipped a beat, and he was a little excited. Yang Ye noticed his embarrassment, but was annoyed. He really heard what he said this morning.

"I know, I know."

After noon, the sun is very strong, the yellow mud path scalds the feet, and the sand seems to be boiled. No matter how busy the field is, no villagers go out to work at this point. Even if you can see two figures, they are wearing straw hats in their own yard. Dried wheat and soybeans.

When the weather was hot, his appetite was also small, so Yang Ye drank some porridge at noon, and took a chair to rest under the tree in the yard.

There is a saying in the countryside, "There is no reason to see the sky when you go out", so almost every household has planted trees in the yard.The small courtyard of their house is no exception. There are also two trees, one is the tall pagoda tree that he is enjoying the shade now, and the other is a jujube tree. The round jujubes are heavy and covered the branches. .

There is a reason why Zao Village is called Zao Village. There are two to three hundred jujube trees in the whole village. The ones in the mountains are wild, and the ones in the village are planted by the villagers.In July, the jujubes are full of branches, and they will mature in a month or so.

There are jujube trees everywhere in the village, and the villagers don’t care much about them. During the peak season for eating jujubes, everyone will pick them and sell them in the city, but there are too many jujube sellers in the village, so they can’t sell at a good price, and they don’t sell too much. go out.

The dates that cannot be sold are either given to villagers in other villages, or they are dried and stored as snacks. Unfortunately, they are eaten all year round, not to mention adults, even greedy children are tired of eating them.

In the early years, Yang Cheng dragged his younger brother to study, and the family lived very hard. He did all kinds of work, collected the dried dates from the villagers, and went to many counties and towns to sell them. He worked as a peddler for several years. After earning some money, he could continue to support Yang Ye's education and marry a wife.

Yang Ye looked at the jujube tree and thought about the past of the original owner, but he envied the original owner for having such a responsible and responsible brother.He is an only child, and he has never felt the friendship between these brothers. If he gets along well in the future, he will try to treat Yang Cheng as his own big brother.

"Well, the water drawn from the well is very cool, do you want to drink something to cool off?"

Ah Xi, who didn't let him clean up the dishes after eating, also came to the shade of the tree at some point, brought a glass of water and put it on the wooden pier beside him, and even a handful made of sun-dried palm leaves. cattail fan.

He glanced at Axi, his eyebrows twitched, he didn't know if the young man was born gentle and delicate, or he was still yearning for something, he really wanted to ask, but it would hurt someone if he said it, seeing the young man pinching his fingers awkwardly, The words that came to his lips made him change his mouth again, and it became a thank you.

"This fan is very good, did you buy it?"

Yang Ye picked up the cattail fan and waved it twice, and the wind came over the face.

Axi shook his head: "Yes, it is done."

This craft was taught to him by Ah Xi's aunt, and the two depended on each other to live, always thinking about Fang'er earning some spare money to supplement the family. Every summer after a day's work, the two of them would go out on a moonlit night. I will enjoy the shade in the yard while making cattail fans, and sell them when I go to the city.

They put a lot of effort into making them, but they are quite easy to sell. They can sell for two pennies a handful, and three pennies during the hottest period.

He was very happy to hear that Yang Ye also said that he did a good job.

Yang Ye smiled: "You know a lot."

In the afternoon, around the time of Shen, the sun that was hanging in the sky had moved to the west, and the heat had dropped a few degrees. Axi was going to the field with a basket on his back.

Now that the family has been completely separated, the acre of land can only be managed by themselves. Axi plans to go out early, and when the beans are harvested, they can peel the beans when it cools down at night.

When Yang Ye returned from fetching water from the well behind the house, there was no sign of the boy in the house.

He said that the separation of the family was his business, and he didn't want Ah Xi to suffer. The sun was too low, but the surface temperature was still high after two hours of sunshine.

He also hurried to the bean field this morning with a sickle.

From a distance, I could see Ah Xi running like a machine in the brown and yellow bean field with his back hunched.

"Why are you here, too?"

Yang Ye went back to the field where the beans were cut in the morning: "I was the one who said we wanted to separate the family."

Ah Xi stood straight for a while, and the scholar really took face seriously.

This morning, I saw that his hands were bean-haired, and the palms were still blistered. When he did this work for the first time, his hands were uncomfortable for many days. Sometimes the bean hairs get stuck in the meat, and the hands are sweaty, which is not a good feeling.

Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour, Ah Xi saw the scholar's eyebrows furrowed.

He pursed his lips, put down his sickle, took out a handkerchief from his clothes, and walked over. He wanted to give it to him this morning.

"Tie this on your left hand, and the fine hairs won't get stuck in your flesh." Axi lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being heard by other villagers in the field: "Yes, I will Tied you up?"

Yang Ye's hand holding the sickle froze for a moment.
