The He Family Brother of Farming

One mu of paddy field, four people transplanting rice seedlings, if skilled, it will be done soon.

Ye He's two families have the same population, but the head of the Ye family is really not suitable for farming, he can turn from one side to the other with a seedling planted, 180 degrees without a bend, it's good not to make trouble, sometimes you If you don't pay attention, you can be hit by him and almost fall into the mud; Ye Senna is purely a crowd, the Ye family is equivalent to only Li Ran and Ye Lin working, and the speed of the two is not slow. A laggard, who has to help rework from time to time.

He He doesn't count in the He family, but the couple's hands are quick, and they are straight and well-proportioned after a few strokes, which can be called pleasing to the eye.

When the He family finished plugging in, and there was still half of the Ye family, He Er and his wife took their eldest son down to help, and drove Ye Cheng up by the way, saying bluntly that you go to play with the two younger ones, you can go up and down, Tian free.

Having been laughed at by other villagers next to him for a long time, Ye Cheng went up to the field ridge in embarrassment. He couldn't help blushing when he met He He Yesen's teasing gaze, waved his hand, and said in a rough voice, "Go, dad will take you Go dig bamboo rats."

It caused the villagers to laugh and boo more loudly.

"Chengzi, you need to dig more, otherwise there won't be enough food for so many people."

"That's right, leave one for my family."

"Dream, dig it yourself." Ye Cheng replied loudly on purpose.

In the second season of planting, the villagers are more or less in a hurry like spring plowing, so when they are busy in the field, they will occasionally make such a few jokes in good faith, just to relax.

Digging bamboo rats does not require any technical content. As long as you have the strength, you can dig more or less by walking around the mountain.These rodents reproduce very quickly, and they don’t live in groups. As long as a litter of cubs can eat tree roots by themselves, they will usually run out to find a place to live, so if people don’t catch them, they can quickly destroy the roots of a mountain. grassroots.

Some villagers who are free will also go to dig meat to add meat to their families. Food that costs nothing but effort is always loved by the villagers.

If you can't control it in the deep mountains, it will be a disaster on the side, and most of them become the villagers' dinner.The shrewd ones moved into the deep mountains early, but some foolish ones stayed behind.

Ye Cheng walked up with the two little ones, saying they were digging bamboo rats, but he didn't really come here just for that, he just dug when he came across it, and he didn't look for him if he couldn't see him, he just took a walk.

He He followed him aimlessly. They didn't enter the bamboo forest, but wandered along the side, and they probably finally saw his purpose, and couldn't help it.

Seeing that the other party occasionally gave them a bunch or two of unknown wild fruits, which were quite delicious, He He secretly decided not to argue with him.

"Ouch!"

Suddenly, Ye Sen, who was walking at the end, fell down screaming. The two turned around and found that his foot was tripped by a vine.

Ye Sen quickly got up by himself, and quickly patted the dirt and leaves on his body. The clothes must not be dirty, otherwise he would have to wash the clothes again.

Ye Cheng stepped back to check, "How is it? Are you injured?"

"No." Ye Sen shook his head.

After checking up and down, he did not find any wounds, so Ye Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head to look at the disturbing vines, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"What?" Seeing that he was watching intently, He He leaned over to take a look, but he didn't recognize him.

"This seems to be a yam?" Ye Cheng was also not sure, looking back at the two children, he asked, "Why don't you dig it out?"

He He Yesen looked at each other for a moment, "Listen to dad (uncle)."

In the end, Ye Cheng decided to dig it out and have a look.

The vine that stumped Ye Sen was just hanging in the middle of the road, one end was clinging to a bush with leaves and thin curly beards, and the other end was walking down the slope with the ground, and Ye Cheng pulled it down. The vine, see where its roots grow.

Not far away, just one step down the slope, Ye Cheng walked over and tried to step on the surrounding soil, then found a spot where it was easy to exert force and stood there, took a hoe and hoeed at the lower part of the rhizome .

Unexpectedly, the soil on the slope was a little loose. As soon as the hoe went down, the soil clods rolled down one after another, exposing the roots below.

The root system is well-developed, but Ye Cheng saw that there were only two or three of them. He dug slowly along the direction of the root length. As expected, the roots grew bigger as he went down. When he pressed his fingernails, the white and sticky thick liquid inside was exposed. Fruit that becomes fibrous.

Ye Cheng hoeed twice more, but he didn't expect that there was something like a tree root in the clod he dug up. When he broke open the soil, he found it was a yam.

"Give."

Following Ye Cheng's words, the yam, which was as long as two fingers and thick as a palm, was thrown to the two little ones beside him.

He He caught it with both hands reflexively, and the palm touched the cut surface, and the silky and sticky liquid covered the palm at once. If he didn't know that it was a yam, his first reaction would be to throw it away.Holding the middle part with the other hand, take a closer look, isn't this yam, here is called yam?

Before he recovered from his doubts, Ye Cheng had already thrown a few knots, so he and Ye Sen had to pick them up and put them together again.

"Father, dig the root, it's covered with dirt." After picking up a certain section, Ye Sen finally asked in dissatisfaction.

"Soil, no, it's easy to wash." He He also held up a small piece for the other party to see.

Ye Cheng looked at them, smiled and said, "That's fine, I'll try not to break it."

After that, I didn't dig hard any more. I just dug down bit by bit with the part close to the iron block, trying not to break the skin as much as possible.

In this way, digging away the soil little by little, only to find that several roots intertwined and long together. No wonder he dug in several directions just now, and some of them were broken into pieces.Wild yams can grow at will, and they can drill horizontally or vertically into the deep soil.

Carefully digging down following the yams, one of them grew to the bottom first, Ye Cheng carefully dug it out of the soil, and finally picked it up to show the two little ones.

Ye Sen stepped forward to pick it up, it wasn't too big, the one with two fingers and thick arms was not bad, put it together, the two waited patiently, seeing that Dad (Uncle Ye) didn't come up, it meant besides.

He He is looking forward to it. He would order a small portion of hot pot in his previous life. This thing fills his stomach like rice, and it is also good for cooking. It is a good thing.

The last yam tree dug up four yams of different thicknesses and lengths. Even Ye Cheng himself was very happy. He found a few big leaves to wrap up the broken ones, and pulled a vine for a few longer ones. After the circle was loosely tied a few times, they planned to go back.

"Father, didn't we dig up the bamboo rats?" On the way back, Ye Sen obviously still missed the bamboo rats, so he asked.

Going back, Ye Cheng was the last one to go. Hearing his son's question, he patiently explained, "It's late today, and besides, didn't you just eat last night? Why are you still thinking about it? Look, brother Xiaohe I didn't think so."

Just because I didn't say it doesn't mean I don't want to.

"Brother He Miao, don't you like to eat?"

"...Alright." He He patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, "God, it's late, next time."

"Oh." Ye Sen could only nod in agreement, "Do you want me to pull you? Slip here."

"Need not."

The three of them returned to the field, and the Ye family's seedlings were finishing up. Ye Lin and He Tian were sitting on the grass at the foot of the mountain to rest, and picked up the mud from their feet with a wooden stick. When they heard footsteps behind them, they all looked back. Not who they are.

"Father, have you dug up yams?" Ye Lin saw what his father was holding at a glance.

"Brother, I can help, why don't you ask me?" Ye Sen came to them after a few jumps, and said unwillingly.

Ye Lin glanced, "The clothes aren't dirty, are they?"

"Of course!" Lifting his head, Ye Sen answered in a pompous manner, and Ye Sen turned around specially to let his brother see clearly, "Is it not dirty?"

He Tian stretched out his hand and patted his buttocks, and said with a smile, "It's a mess here, did you fall down?"

Ye Sen covered his butt at once, "No, I only sat on the leaves, and I didn't sit on the ground, brother He Miao, right?"

"Ah."

"Okay, your brother Tian is teasing you, come over quickly, we have to go home." Ye Cheng also patted his son's little buttocks and said, "Don't let you scream, be careful that you will suffer pain here again."

Ye Sen, who originally wanted to sit down like his brother, didn't dare to wait any longer after listening to his father's words, and ran towards Li Ran.

Ye Lin and He He couldn't help but shook their heads and sighed in their hearts at the same time, this baby is so foolish!

Although there are no bamboo rats, there are already fishes in the family. The two families happily rushed home together again. The seedlings have been planted. When going down, just pay attention to the water, and there is still a chance of survival. Wait for two days to see if it grows steadily. It was much easier, so the two heads discussed how to go fishing.

There are many mountains and trees, and there are many streams formed, and these streams are more or less merged into small rivers, and then become big rivers. There is a big river in Dashan Town, which is the river that brings together all the mountains. However, there is no fixed fisherman, so most of the fish sold in Dashan Town are transported from the downstream Fucheng.

Let's go further, Lishan Village also has a river, which is formed by the river flowing out from the middle of their village and converging with the one in Lijia Village.But Ye Cheng's goal is not there yet, they have to retreat a bit.

There is a small cliff near the middle part, not high, about two meters, but because there is no shortage of water here, the part of the cliff without water is covered with moss, which is difficult to climb, but when there is a lot of rain, a small waterfall will form. The scenery is pretty good.

There is a small pool at the bottom of the cliff, about two meters deep, but it is the part closest to the bottom of the cliff. There are many big rocks in it. People standing on it are not afraid of being submerged. Even if there are aquatic plants and moss, the water is very clear, and the sun shines in it during the day. You can clearly see the fish and shrimp swimming back and forth leisurely.

And Ye Cheng's purpose is here.

Because they had just planted rice seedlings, the two families decided to have a good night's rest, and they set off again when things were ready.

For He Er’s family, the fish is still boiled tonight. It’s rare for the villagers to buy meat. Every family eats very little oil, let alone He Er’s family. The only oil left in the family is the night before yesterday. It is made from the oil in the belly of the pheasant brought from home.Although bamboo rat meat was not used last night, it was impossible to fry or fry fish.

It's just boiled fish in clear water, and their family is still satisfied with it.The family finished their meal again, and each tidied up. As soon as it got dark, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep and rest, waiting for tomorrow.
