The He Family Brother of Farming

The surname of the male lead in this family is He, because he is the second in line, so the name is also called He Er directly, it is so simple and rude, his wife is called He Er's sister-in-law or aunt, anyway, they are called according to their seniority, and those of the same generation are usually called He Er In fact, those married women in the village are like this, and they seldom call them by their names directly.

The woman pushed open the door lightly, and there were two rooms inside. The one on the left was where the family slept, and the one on the right was where sundries were placed.The room was originally small, and after such a partition, the room became even smaller. A small wooden bed was placed inside, which almost filled the space. A plank was built, and that was where their eldest son slept.Fortunately, the eldest son is only ten years old now, and he can barely fall asleep. When he came in at this moment, he saw that the eldest son just got up.

The woman walked over hurriedly and helped her son erect the wooden boards against the wall and at the same time whispered to her son to go out for breakfast. "I'll get these, let's go out and eat."

"Yeah." The boy nodded, looked at the bed with his head, and said in a low voice: "Mother, don't worry, I will go to the town with my father to buy medicine for my brother in a few days. I won't let my grandmother sell my brother." .”

"Don't worry, mother and your father won't let anyone sell your younger brother. Go out and have breakfast quickly. You will watch over your younger brother later." The woman pushed the elder son red-eyed, and she also wanted to wipe the younger son's body. Well, if the child's grandma doesn't see him go to the ground later, he will scold him again.

"Mother, hurry up and come out to eat, and help my brother after I finish eating." The boy also knew that if it took too long, they would definitely be scolded again, so he ran out in a hurry, and rushed into the kitchen without washing his face. A bowl of brown rice porridge, which was packed and cooled, slurped into the stomach a few times, wiped his mouth, put down the bowl and ran back to the room.

"Mom, go eat porridge, I'll wash my brother's face." After speaking, he almost snatched the cloth towel from his mother's hand and urged his mother to go out.

He Er's family had no choice, so they followed their son's words, and couldn't help but ordered: "Hey, are you full? If your brother wakes up later, remember to give him medicine and put it on the stove." Keep it warm, remember."

"I'm full, mother, I remember." While going out with a cloth towel to soak in water, He Tian replied in his mouth.

Looking at the busy eldest son, He Er's family felt somewhat uneasy, but seeing the light outside, they knew they couldn't delay, so they had to look at the younger son who was still sleeping in the bed, wiped their eyes and went out with their heads down.

Originally, the family was not easy, but their sons were all well, so they didn’t ask for anything. Who knew, the youngest son went to the back mountain to play with the children in the village. Usually, the children often went there. Under the advice of the adults, the children They don't have the guts to go too far into the mountains, they usually go outside, and the adults will dig wild vegetables and chop some firewood from time to time, so the adults are relieved when they see the children going there to play.

Who knew that something happened to their youngest son this time, and he fell down a small slope less than two meters away. Usually, this is a no-brainer for the children in the village to climb up and down, but just such a fall, The younger son fell and had an accident.His hands and feet were all fine, but he was unconscious after being hugged back. I went to an old doctor in the next village to see him. He said that he fell on his head, and he was afraid that something was wrong. It was fine when he woke up, but he couldn't wake up...

The old doctor's words overwhelmed the whole family.The child's grandma said at the time that he didn't need to look at the doctor. What if the family didn't have much money?Besides, a brother is not worth a lot of money, and I don't know if I can see him in the future.His grandfather was also silent.

There are boys, brothers, and girls in this world. Although brothers can give birth to offspring, they are not as good as women.Physical strength is not as good as that of a boy, and the rich people outside are okay, they can have money to hire a girl for the brother at home, but it is difficult for the poor.Not as good as a woman in pregnancy, and not as good as a boy in labor, which girl in the mountain village is willing to marry her brother?And most of those who marry older brothers are from poor families.

He Er went to beg a few times, but Mrs. He just didn't let go. Later, when she saw that the second child was annoyed, she urged Father He to divide the second child's family directly, and bluntly said that the family had no money to buy medicine for the doctor, so it was better to divide it. If you go out to the second child's house, think of your own way, anyway, don't count on the family, there are so many people in the family to support, you can't let everyone drink the northwest wind for your brother, not to mention that the older family also agrees with the old lady's words.

He Er had no choice but to separate them.Because even though Brother He woke up later, his brain didn't work very well, he was in a daze, and sometimes he had to shout several times before he could respond, maybe it was because he woke up and saw his mother, but Very clingy to his mother.Looking at such a young son, He Er's family cried for countless times.

Faced with the eyes of Mrs. He and sister-in-law, He Er invited the old man again. There is nothing wrong with him, but he probably hurt his brain. Maybe it will be like this in this life.The old doctor said that if you want to raise it well, of course you need to rely on medicine to raise it, but it will definitely cost a lot of money, and it may not be good.

Now Mrs. He and Mrs. He's family were even more unhappy. With Mrs. He's acquiescence, Mrs. He's family was assigned to this old house on the outskirts of the village. , the days are really miserable.

Fortunately, although the youngest son is not as lively as before, but now he does not cry or make noise, and he can do whatever he wants, but his body is much weaker and his courage seems to be much smaller, and he shrinks behind his family when there are many people.But there are also good times when the family can go to work in the field, even though the eldest son is only ten years old, he is also a part of the family's labor force.

The family is divided, but Mrs. Tian... Mrs. He said that the division will be done after this year's collection is over, so the He Er family still has to work together.In order to take care of the youngest son, He Er's family usually got up early, but they still couldn't avoid the mother-in-law's making things difficult.

Because Mrs. He always thought that it was the second daughter-in-law who pushed the second son to sing against her, and she didn't know how to live and die before she wanted to use the money to pay for it. Now, the stupid brother, this tone is even more stuck in her throat when the old man mentions a few words from time to time. If I didn't go down, I would come here to scold me from time to time, and I just wandered back home when I felt at ease.

Today was the same, when He Da went to fetch water in the morning, he ran into He Er, and when he went back, he chatted with his daughter-in-law.Because in the past when the family was not separated, the work of carrying water was done by the second family. Although it is difficult for anyone in the farm family to sleep late, they can usually sleep a little longer, right?So on the road in the morning, I heard the villagers talking and joking, and occasionally someone lamented that He Er got up early to fetch water and didn't need to queue up, and He Da felt something was wrong.

Everyone He felt sorry for their man, so he chatted a few words while cooking in the kitchen, and the evil fire in Mrs. He's heart was recited again, and she came to the second child's house without eating breakfast.

At that time, He Tian was washing his younger brother's face and hands carefully, and just as He Er and He Er's family put down their bowls and were about to go to the ground, Mrs. He's voice rang out in the yard.

"Goddamned lazy bastard, how long has it been since dawn, and you are still at home with so much work in the field, don't you want millet? Do you want to exhaust your father to death? You still want me this old woman every day Come here and call you. Why did I give birth to such a lazy bastard like you!"

"Mother, we're going to the ground now." After all, it was his own mother, He Er reluctantly responded.

Unexpectedly, after his response, Mrs. He had something to say. Looking at the two people who came out of the kitchen, Mrs. He raised her chin and shouted into the room: "What? My grandma is not working, is she? You don’t even know you’re going to get up? You’re a family of lazy people. You’re a bunch of debt collectors who still want to wake you up after giving me a bone.”

"Mother!" He Erjia's eyes became red in an instant.

"What? Did I say something wrong?" Mrs. He glared at He Er, and continued to scold in a sharp voice, "If your wife hadn't insisted on showing the doctor to that debt collector, how could this have happened? Now the family wants to eat a piece of meat Nothing, why ask you to do some work?"

Mrs. He is distressed about the money she spent on hiring a doctor before.

The few families nearby here were also hurrying up to have some breakfast so that they could go to the field to grab the harvest. Not to mention the dawn of summer, the sun also shines early.

Some of them had just picked up the pot and were about to take a few mouthfuls to fill their stomachs, when there was a cry outside.

The closest to He Er's house is another Ye Dashan's family in the village, Ye Dashan is just like his father at this time, holding a big rough porcelain bowl and eating brown rice porridge, his wife and mother are behind him in the kitchen Take the pancakes to eat in the field.It is said to be frying, but it is actually dry frying, with only a little layer of oil on the inside, so it doesn't stick to the pan.

"Auntie He's here again." Ye Dashan's family listened outside, couldn't help saying something, and carefully turned the spatula in his hand over the side of the pot that was going to be battered.

Ye Dashan's mother flattened the coarse cornmeal with both hands, put it into the pot and patted it, and retorted: "She has a sharp mouth...it's not easy for He Er. Turn over this piece, so it doesn't get confused."

After speaking, he stood up, thumped his back with his hands and walked out. There was a daughter-in-law watching in the pot, so she went out to have a look.

"Mother He Er, you wake up early in the morning to practice your voice? It's different if you have more daughters-in-law. If only I were like you, my back is sore from hard work in the morning." Ye Dashan said The mother didn't even leave the yard, she stood in front of the fence up to her waist and shouted.

"That is to say, this is a blessing that our old sisters did not have. The eldest son and the second son are filial, and the younger son has the ability to make a lot of money. The eldest sister of the He family is waiting to enjoy the blessing." The mother of He Yong's family on the diagonal also echoed.

"Hey, what nonsense?" Mrs. He choked when she saw that it was the mother of Ye Dashan's family next door, but when she turned around, the old man's face was full of smiles. When it came to their youngest son, she couldn't bear it in her heart. Live proudly.

"Needless to say, speaking of my family's San'er, San'er's family asked me to bring a few big pieces of meat yesterday, saying that they are filial to me and the old man, and eat everything that the family has to do this troublesome thing."

"Oh! That's really nothing to say."

"That's right, let me tell you..."

……

Seeing that his mother's attention was not on his family, He Er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. While his mother was busy chatting with others, he quickly took a sickle and a hoe and took his daughter-in-law down to the field.

I ran into Ye Dashan, He Yong and the others on the road, and I was grateful and embarrassed. Fortunately, everyone didn't say anything, just patted on the shoulder, smiled and passed.

Who doesn't have a bad thing in the village?It is inevitable to run into each other, who will laugh at whom.
