The He Family Brother of Farming

Yue Lan and his party said that they went to the mountain for a casual look, and indeed they walked around a little bit inward and then came back, but it took a long time, and it is already February, and they have hibernated all winter. Some animals have already started to come out to move around. That's why they didn't go deep. They just wanted to come in and take a look, but they didn't want to take risks.

But Yue Lan probably wasn't included here, he was a little moved, especially after he came in, he found that there were so many wild things inside, it made him itch, but he saw Yue Yue who was excited and curious by his side. , I endured it.

Because I didn't go deep, most of the herbs I saw were common, but this also made Mr. Ling very satisfied. Sometimes I would dig one or two by myself, but most of them were done by Xiaoan and Fuyou.

So when they come back down the mountain, the harvest is not bad.The three of Mr. Ling harvested almost a basketful of herbs, and Ye Lin and Yuelan hunted pheasants, birds and squirrels, all of which were common animals.

A group of people came down the mountain in a mighty way, which still attracted the attention of many villagers, and then they were a little envious of Ye He's family, but when they thought of eating so many meat and vegetables at their banquet the day before yesterday, they felt a little nervous some balance.

It is also very good to be able to eat such a good meal before the spring plowing. After all, it has been a month since the Chinese New Year. Not everyone still has meat left. This time the banquet is full of oil and water.

When Ye Lin Yecheng and his son entered the yard, He He was drying clothes and sheets in the yard. The weather was not bad today, and it was a little windy. After getting up, He He washed all the changed clothes and sheets. Right now, I was checking to see if it was almost dry, and when I saw them coming in, I quickly went up to them.

"Father, you are back, are you okay?"

When Ye Cheng saw him, he immediately laughed and said, "It's going well, it's going well, Xiaohe is busy."

"I'm not busy with anything, are you tired? Dad, you go sit and rest first, and I'll go to light the fire and prepare dinner." He He took the things from Ye Cheng's hand and put them away, and when he came back, he said, he was ready to go kitchen.

"Xiaohe, don't be busy yet." Ye Cheng hurriedly stopped him, looked around and asked, "What about you?"

"Oh, Ah Mo went to the creek to help, Dad, can you find me? I'll call Ah Mo back?"

"That's no need, I'm just asking." Ye Cheng waved his hands quickly after hearing this, and then turned to Ye Lin and said, "I'll go over and have a look too, there are too many people on their side, I guess they can't be busy, you are here to help Xiaohe with these things It's all taken care of."

"Understood, dad, please walk slowly." Ye Lin nodded, "Why don't you send some over later, and let grandma and the others taste it."

Ye Cheng agreed without thinking, "That's fine, as for Mr. Yue and the others, let them take them back. I'll ask you Ah Mo to come back and help later."

"No need dad, Lin Zi and I are fine, let Ah Mo take a rest too." Before Ye Lin could answer, He He said first.

Naturally, Ye Lin would not object. Ye Cheng looked at them and then at the prey on the ground, still a little uneasy, and asked hesitantly, "Is it really all right?"

"It's okay, if we're really too busy, we'll call someone."

"Okay then." Seeing the two of them like this, Ye Cheng could only agree, but he still decided in his heart that it would be better to tell Fu Lang when he got there. If there are too many, maybe he will be able to hug his grandson soon~

Thinking of this, Ye Cheng couldn't help but smiled again, looked at the two of them with satisfaction, and then walked slowly with his hands behind his back, he still talked to the second boy, shouldn't he prepare the grandson's name in advance?

Thinking that maybe in the near future, he would embrace his fat grandson like his friend, his heart became hot, and his pace unconsciously quickened.

If you let He He know, you can only say something in black, you really think too far... He just got married and immediately thought of holding a grandson or something, is he in a hurry?

……

He He looked at the four or five pheasants piled on the ground, some unnamed birds, and a few squirrels mixed in, and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

"Why are you even catching squirrels?" Forget about birds, they still look quite big, but there are already so many pheasants, why are you still hunting these squirrels?

Seeing him pointing at the squirrels, Ye Lin felt a little helpless: "These were all caught by Xiao Yue, but it's a pity that they couldn't catch any alive."

He He was a little speechless after hearing this, "Forget it, let's deal with it together."

In modern times, some people may still be fond of these small animals, but in this era, everything that can fill their stomachs is food in the eyes of farmers, let alone some people will go to the fields to steal food When the crops are gone, people will only drive or capture them.

"it is good."

Ye Lin didn't feel any more about these things, so he followed him and walked towards the kitchen after hearing the words. The hair had to be dealt with first, so the water had to be boiled first.

"I have to deal with it, can I finish eating tonight?"

He He asked casually while lighting the fire, and Ye Lin was beside him helping to chop firewood. If there were too many things, he would use a large pot to boil water, and the firewood would burn large pieces.

"It's okay, there are still quite a lot of people. If you can't eat, you can let the uncle and the others take it back, and there are shopkeeper Liu and the others."

"That's true." He He nodded, and after thinking about it, he might not be enough.

"I'm going home tomorrow, do you have anything to bring?"

Ye Lin rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms. When he took the ax to chop the firewood, although it seemed that he didn't use any force at all, he just waved his arms casually, but he could clearly see the exposed arms. His muscular lines are very smooth, always unconsciously attracting He He's attention.

He stared at the opponent's movements, so He He didn't hear what Ye Lin said clearly for a while, until the opponent looked over suspiciously, he looked away a little uncomfortably, tried to recall his words, and then answered: "It will be all right."

Instead, Ye Lin felt a little guilty, "I actually forgot, I should take you to the town today, so I can prepare something for my parents."

Hearing this, He He turned his head to look at him, and smiled: "What's the matter, dad and the others don't know that you are going to take Xiaoyue and the others into the mountains today, besides, they won't say anything, and you don't have to deliberately touch things. Get ready, we can bring them to them when we go to town next time."

Although the custom of returning home is to bring this thing back to her natal family officially, but their family really doesn't care about it. Of course, as a son, he will not embarrass his parents, and there will definitely be things.

But seeing his man's troubled appearance for him, He He felt a little warm and sweet in his heart, so he said to him again: "Aren't these all? Didn't you say before that you would bring them back to uncle? So no matter how gorgeous the gift is It’s true that there is nothing to eat, my parents must think so, so you don’t have to worry, if you bring these things to the door tomorrow, everyone will be very happy.”

Ye Lin looked at him, knowing that he was comforting himself, and what he said was right, but... "I just want to give you the best."

"Well, of course I know." He He nodded, "You also know that these prey make others jealous of me, and others may not be able to eat a bite if they want to eat them, so I am I'm glad that the man in my family is capable and won't let me eat less meat!"

Ye Lin stared fixedly at this side, and He He looked back at him without avoiding it. After a long while, Ye Lin smiled slowly, from the corners of his mouth to his eyes, the smile was stained bit by bit, and it became more and more serious. bigger.

"As long as you like, I will get it back for you." Ye Lin promised in a slow and deep voice.

He He also smiled, "I believe."

At this time, there was also a "hissing" sound of water being ready to boil in the pot. He He quickly withdrew his attention, carefully lifted the lid of the pot and looked in. Small blisters had already started to pop up. The meeting will begin.

"It will boil quickly."

"Okay, I'll get the basin, you put it there first, and pour water when I come back, so as not to burn you." Ye Lin put down the ax immediately, and went out to bring the big wooden basin that usually handles prey.

"Be careful, the water is hot."

"Well, get out of the way."

Pour boiling water into the wooden basin, and then put it back to continue cooking. He He continued to throw a few pieces of firewood into the stove, let it burn slowly by itself, and then turned to help in the yard.

Although the two were busy, Li Ran came back to help in the end, and Yue Yue naturally ran to join in the fun. There were more him in the yard, and it immediately became lively. It felt like he really had a hundred thousand reasons. It made people laugh and cry, and Li Ran couldn't stop laughing. He He was black, and Ye Lin was helpless.

He He couldn't help but wonder if his brother couldn't take it anymore, so he specially asked him to come here with Li Ran?

Because they will officially go back tomorrow, the Ye family will just eat at home tonight.

The next day, the weather was still fine, even when the wind blew, it was warm and very comfortable.

Both He He and Ye Lin got up early and put on new clothes specially. Although they said they didn't prepare anything, when they finally went out, Ye Lin still picked up a load, and He He also had a bag on his hand. Some of the baskets were prepared in advance and wrapped in red paper, and some were obvious, such as those wild animals and meat, and two live fat chickens. Everyone who saw them clapped their tongues secretly.

It is normal for ordinary people to bring a basket of eggs, or a catty and a half catty of pork. They have to pick, tsk tsk!

Even Lishan Village's life has improved a little in the past few years, but so far, no one has seen such a situation. I guess the village head's family is not like this, right?

Thinking about the chickens and ducks that were killed two days ago, and the two big fat pigs, sure enough, comparing people to people can only piss people off!

He Er's family also got up early to prepare for their arrival. When they saw the two of them, even though they were prepared in their hearts, they still couldn't hold back their distress.

Zhang Lian was the first one who didn't recognize her voice and said: "It's fine when you come back, why do you still bring so many things? It's not like there is no one at home. What are you pretending? It's so heavy."

Complaining but still distressed, he took the basket from He He's hand, and He Tian also came to take Ye Lin's burden and put it in the corner of the room.

He He waved his hands and said with a smile: "Mom, it's all prepared by Ah Mo, basically food, we don't have many family members, don't we still have uncles and uncles? I will bring them to grandma when they go back."

"It's not a very good thing either. It's from the woods and Daddy's mountain. Grandma, you should try it too."

Grandma Zhang didn't expect them to be included in these things. Hearing this and looking at the two, they couldn't help being excited and relieved: "You say you children are really... We are here to have a wedding, what a good thing I didn't send you two off, so how can I bring things back?"

"That's right, I need to let others know about it, but just..." He He interrupted the aunt and aunt before she could finish her words of agreement.

"Grandma, aunt, don't worry about what other people say, this is a wish from Linzi and I, and it's a tribute to you, so just accept it."

"There are not many things, grandma can take it at ease." Ye Lin also stood beside He He and said to them.

He Er looked at them with a gratified smile on his face, and he also persuaded his mother-in-law and the others: "Mother, since it is the children's wish, let's accept it."

Grandma Zhang looked at the two children who looked very suitable when they stood together, and finally she could only nod in agreement, took one hand of the two and folded it in her own, and patted with relief: "In this case , if grandma refuses again, she will be seeing a stranger, they are all good children, and they must live a good life in the future."

"Yes, grandma."

Ye Lin held He He's hand and nodded solemnly, and He He also followed suit.

"That's good, that's good!" Grandma said a few more words, and didn't let go until He Tian helped bring some incense.

"Thank you bro."

He He took the incense and thanked him, gave Ye Lin three more, and then bowed respectfully to the Eight Immortals Table three times together, and then bowed to the elders sitting one by one, this is considered a marriage. finished.

He Er and Zhang Lian were very satisfied with Ye Lin, even the eldest uncle and the second uncle. Although their family's ability could not wrap much red envelopes, no matter how much it was, it was their heart, so Ye Lin no matter what it was , He respectfully accepted what was handed to him, and then let He He hold it, and He Heye took it naturally.

It made the others laugh even more contentedly.

……

Because after noon, grandma and the others are going back to prepare for the work of spring plowing, so it is not good to stay any longer, and shopkeeper Liu and the others are naturally going back to town today, so today's lunch will be gathered at What the He family ate.

After a lively meal, Ye He's family sent them to the entrance of the village together and bid farewell to them one by one.

"Then, we'll meet again when we have a chance." Yue Lan watched Ye Lin's rare initiative to speak, "We'll be waiting for you in the capital."

Ye Lin also looked back at him, and replied solemnly: "Definitely."

He He looked over in surprise when he heard what the two said, but unfortunately he was entangled by Yue Yue and couldn't ask.

"Woooo—brother Xiaohe, I really miss you, everyone, and this place! Woooo—"

Yue Yue hugged He He while crying and said, He He couldn't get away for a while, so he could only coax others first: "It's okay, if you really like it, there will be opportunities to play in the future."

"Yes, you are welcome to come anytime." Others also persuaded.

Yue Yue was crying and was about to answer, but was robbed by his brother. Yue Lan said coldly, "As long as you don't run away... isn't it very close to here?" Then Yue Yue cried He paused, and two seconds later he angrily rushed towards his brother.

"Brother, can't you carry which pot without opening it?"

Yue Lan glanced at him, and said again in a low voice: "Speed, this time I'm really going to visit Uncle Lin and the others."

Hearing this, Yue Yue's whole body was like an eggplant beaten by Shuang, and immediately withered away. Thinking of seeing that annoying ghost soon, he was full of reluctance, but he also knew that this time he really couldn't escape, drooping He obediently walked to his brother's side with his head bent, that poor little appearance made people feel distressed.

Yue Lan also glanced at him, and her eyes were full of helplessness. He was not ignorant of the 'resentment' between the younger brother and the young master of the Lin family, but after all, it was determined by his parents, and there was nothing he could do about it.

He saluted Ye Lin again, led the horse and waited for Yue Yue to get on the horse first, then he also got on his own horse, bid farewell to the people present, followed Yue Yue, and rode away slowly.

Shopkeeper Liu and Mr. Ling were originally together, so they went back together this time. They also said goodbye to Ye He's family, and then they got in the carriage and went back.

After the three waves of people were sent away, Ye He's family also returned home. It was lively and lively at first, but now that everyone has left, it became deserted for a while, and they were still a little unaccustomed to it.

But taking care of the big and small at home makes people forget about it all at once.

Besides, Xiaoxi hadn't confinement yet, and the spring plowing was already busy, so there was no time for them to think too much.

……

Days are always fleeting in the midst of busyness, so when people are so busy that they can finally take a breather, they find that the sun above their heads has begun to heat up.

By the side of the stream, He Heju washed his face with a handful of water, and felt that the heat was temporarily washed away. He lowered his head and washed it again. When he raised his head, a cloth towel was handed over beside him. He took it without looking at it, and waited to wipe it off After removing the drops of water from his face, he turned his head and said to the other party: "This year is probably going to be hotter."

"Ah."

Ye Lin waited for him to finish washing, and then went down to wash the clothes together. He He didn't say anything when he saw him. Anyway, since he met him now, this person likes it like this, and he is tired of talking about it.

"It will be the market day in a few days, and the land at home is almost busy. Do you want to go to the town while you have time?"

He He asked while handing him a cloth towel when he got up, Ye Lin shook off the water on his hand, took the cloth towel and wiped it casually twice, walked over and sat down beside him, but was careful not to let the water on his body touch to him.

When I was a child, I thought this place was quite big with rocks, but now it can barely fit two people, and the water level has risen again.

"It's all right, I will accompany you then."

"it is good."

The two sat quietly for a while, the sun was rising higher and higher, and the temperature was getting higher and higher, He He's face was already a little red, Ye Lin saw him and quickly pulled him up, planning to go home.

"Let's go, go back, don't get sunburned."

"Ah."

The two walked slowly home hand in hand.

"What charades were you playing with that Yue Lan before?"

He He wanted to ask this question at the time, but he never had time to ask later, either because he was too busy to ask, or he forgot later, and now he suddenly remembered it and asked.

Ye Lin was startled before he realized it, so he replied with a smile: "I almost forgot, it's nothing, I just made an appointment with him, if there is a possibility to go to the capital in the future."

Speaking of this, he looked down at He He, and said softly, "I think you should like doing business, and the caravan is also very good. Now the world is gradually stabilizing. If you want, we can do it. Do it."

He He's eyes widened. He really didn't expect this person to think of this. The proposal is very good, but the business is not easy to do, and you have to discuss it with your family.

However, he didn't object immediately, instead, the hand that was holding him slowly intertwined with his fingers and shook, "It's not impossible, but it's still too early to say."

"It's okay, we can prepare slowly, there is plenty of time."

"Okay." There was a smile in the voice, "But before that, I want to redo the previous ones."

"Well, yes." Ye Lin also smiled, "Does that mean we need to build a house first? Our family is not enough now, and the parents' side is also there. Xiaorui and Xiaoguo are running around. Waiting for Xiaobao to grow up The bigger it is, the more room there is probably not enough.”

He He thought for a while, the other party was obviously talking about the workshop, but he didn't decide what to do, did he think of the workshop first?But what he said is right, it is better to build the house as soon as possible, otherwise Ye Sen will not have a place to sleep well every time he comes back.

"Okay, I'll tell Dad and the others when I get back, I just want to think about what to do."

"Then let's go, it's getting hotter and hotter, are you hungry?"

"Fortunately, I guess it should be ready, let's go, don't tell me you still don't feel hungry."

"Ah--"

When it was time to eat, Ye Lin told Ye Cheng and Li Ran what the two of them were thinking at the dinner table, which surprised the two elders immediately.

"Doing business?"

"Build a house?"

The two looked at each other, and this time Li Ran said first, "Why did you suddenly think of this?"

"Ah, that's what I thought. The field is pretty busy now, so I just thought that if I'm idle, I'd rather be idle. Why don't I start a small business?" He He answered with chopsticks for each of them.

Ye Lin also brought some green vegetables for him. As the weather got hot, He He didn't like to eat meat very much, so the plate of green vegetables was always placed in front of him, but Ye Lin still got used to putting them for him.

Ye Cheng pondered for a while, then nodded: "It's okay, anyway, I can watch the field now, and Xiaohe can do it if he wants to." He said and looked at the eldest son, "I agree with building a house. It wasn't the time back then. , otherwise it is entirely possible to build the house first and then let you get married, so let’s do the house first, and it happens that the village is almost busy now."

"Yes, Dad, I'll go to the mountains tomorrow to have a look, and prepare some suitable wood first."

"Don't be so anxious. I remember that there were beams left in the village before. I'll ask later."

"Yes, you can't use it immediately after you cut it back. There should be some in the village. Let your father ask." Li Ran also said, "The weather is getting hot, so Xiaohe should not go out to work today. If you are bored, go to Xiaoxi and tell him. Speak."

"Understood, huh."

"Eat more, you go there, those little guys are going to trouble you again, don't let them run around, they are going crazy, alas." Li Ran added another sentence worried.

"Pfft—ah, aren't all children like this? Don't worry, I will take good care of them."
