The He Family Brother of Farming

Ye Sen's grandmother came, Li Ran naturally wanted to go back first, so he took Ye Sen home first.

Ye Cheng, Ye Lin and his son still stayed and continued to collect sweet potatoes. They couldn't leave the work here and go back, so they went back as soon as possible.

Finally, after digging for another hour, Ye Cheng was a little worried about his husband, so he decided to call it a day and go back. Naturally, He Er and the others would not object. The mother-in-law came so rarely, so they naturally wanted to go back and have a look. Maybe there was something wrong, anyway. There is still time tomorrow.

Put the sweet potatoes that were dug out before, and the three adults picked them back separately.

When they arrived at Ye's house, He He and He Tian didn't follow them in, but went back to their own home directly, so neither of them knew what happened at Ye's house that afternoon, but they only knew that there seemed to be quite a commotion.

Ye Cheng carried sweet potatoes and led He Er and his wife into the yard, and vaguely saw his husband busy in the kitchen, but the youngest son was directly on the steps, holding his chin, his mouth was deflated, and his face was full of displeasure. , When seeing them coming back, their eyes lit up immediately, and they jumped up.

"Father, brother, you are back."

Ye Lin caught his rushing body and said with a little displeasure: "Why are you so frizzy? Let's talk about it later. Let uncles, aunts and others put things away first."

Ye Sen stuck out his tongue, and smiled embarrassedly, "Hey, I forgot." He quickly moved away.

Ye Cheng also smiled and rolled his big hands directly on his head, not caring whether his hands were still covered with mud.

After putting the sweet potatoes back in the barn, he saw Ye Sen's grandmother sitting in the middle of the main room, with a long face, and didn't make a sound when they came in.

"Mother, you are here." Ye Cheng greeted with a smile on his face as soon as he entered the door.

"Hello, Auntie."

When He Er and his wife called out politely, they just hummed lukewarmly without raising their eyelids, and they even made sense after that.

This made Ye Cheng and his son very embarrassed. They originally wanted to have a meal with the two families, but now it's not easy for He Er and his wife to stay any longer, so they left and went home tactfully.

When the two of them left the yard, Li Ran who was in the kitchen happened to come into the main room to get something. Seeing that his mother was still grimacing, and the two sons who were in charge of the house were carefully sitting beside her, she immediately had an ugly expression.

"Mom, what are you doing? They came here to help collect the sweet potatoes, how could they let people go back like this?"

When his mother heard this, she pulled her face even longer, and scolded him instead: "What do you want mother to say about you? How could he be so kind? It's not like you don't know the situation of that family, so it's time to pick it up Don't you know what your heart is, and you won't listen to advice when you say you are stupid."

"Mother, Xiaohe's family is not like that, they..." Li Ran was about to explain, but was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"Oh, if you say it's not right?" His mother raised her voice, as if she wanted to shout for the whole world to hear, "Why didn't I see them interacting with you before? Why are you as close as a family now that you're broke?" What? Isn't that because of your man's ability?"

"Mother, there is nothing, how can you talk nonsense?"

When his mother heard this, she slammed the table and shouted: "I'm talking nonsense? Am I talking nonsense? Now who doesn't know that their family will be better off following you? They are sending chickens and bamboo rats, and they are bringing They catch fish and sell them, what can they do without Mrs. Ye?"

Li Ran stiffened his neck and did not show weakness: "Mom, you don't know him well, how can you just listen to others talking about him and talk about him like that? He is a good person."

"Good man? Now you have followed others and learned to talk back to your old lady, isn't that right? Why are you so close? It's not good to look for anyone, but which family?"

Seeing that the mother and son were talking more and more angry, Ye Cheng couldn't stay by the side any longer, he hurriedly smiled and said as a peacemaker, "Mother, calm down first, how dare he get angry with you? Let's talk carefully, don't let It's a joke. Aran, don't say a few words, the children are all here. "

After speaking, he moved his eyes into the room, but there were still guests there, thinking of his niece in the room, Li Ran suppressed his anger a little.

Unexpectedly, Li Ran's mother didn't give him face at all. It's good that he didn't make a sound, but when he made a sound, the artillery fire was aimed at him immediately.

"Grandpa Ye, I haven't talked about you yet. My family, Aran, we were raised as girls. Since you have begged my brother, you should be responsible for it, right?"

Ye Cheng nodded.

"Then his family should also be your family, right?"

Nod again.

"Then his elder brother and younger brother are also your elder brother and younger brother? If that's the case, if the family doesn't look for it, what do you mean by finding an outsider? Tell me, you haven't seen me and the old man for a few days?"

Ye Cheng: "..."

The more Li Ran's mother asked, the sharper her tone became, until Ye Cheng didn't know how to answer it safely.

Seeing his man's embarrassed face when he was questioned, and the two children's faces turning pale with fright, Li Ran immediately quit.

"Mom, have you said enough? We are very happy that you can come to see us, but please don't say anything else today. If you are not happy to stay here, I will send you back after dinner."

"you--"

……

Here, when He He returned home, he saw four baskets of longans in the main room. He didn't know how many times the two of them walked back and moved them back. They found a few trees to pick them, and then went to help dig sweet potatoes.

Without further ado, he drove his brother to rest. He He started to pick up the longan by himself, picked out the rotten bugs, and found an empty bamboo basket to put them in. This work was a bit boring, but in order to eat it later The longan was dry, so he endured it.

He only had a vague idea of ​​the method, but fortunately, he was not afraid of wasting and failing, so he treated it as an experiment.

He only picked a few bunches, and He Er and his wife came back.

"Father and mother, you are back."

"Ah."

He Er put the hoe behind the door and asked casually, "Where's your brother?"

"Lying inside, Dad, the water on the table is already cold, let's drink water first." Seeing that his mother went straight to the kitchen, He He also asked casually while answering, "Is it Grandma Xiaomori?"

He Er took a big gulp of water, and replied with a strange expression: "Yes."

The tone was a bit wrong, He Er gave his father a strange look, but he didn't ask any more. After all, it was someone else's business, so it was better for him to ask less.

He hurriedly changed the subject, "Father, why don't our family grow some sweet potatoes?" The corn field was empty.

"There's not enough time this year. If you like to eat, our family will grow it by ourselves next year."

"I just asked, it doesn't have to be planted, other types are also fine." He He continued to pick longan as he said.

He Er came over and asked curiously: "Xiaohe, what are you going to do? You can pick so many longan at once, you can't eat them all, and they will go bad if you leave them alone."

"Well, it's okay, I'm going to dry some, see if I can keep it for a longer time after drying, and eat it later."

"Oh," He Er stopped asking after hearing this, and now the whole family thinks that he has become smarter and has more ideas, and they all secretly support his decision, "If there is anything you need to help, just tell us, Qian Don't get tired."

"I know dad."

After sitting for a while, He Er went out with a hoe again, probably to go to the field again, but it was the busy farming period, the men in the village rarely stayed at home all day, they would always go to the field to look around Look, weeding and weeding, or going to the mountains to chop some firewood, in short, I can't stay idle.

It took He He more than an hour to finish picking the longan. He stood up and stretched, went to the kitchen to see, and prepared to boil a pot of water to wash the longan.

With the help of his mother, I put those longans through the water once, and then spread a bamboo mat in the yard, and spread the fruits on it to cool.

When it was done, He He realized that the time was not right. It was not the hottest time of the sun, but it was fine to do everything.

After doing this, I helped his mother water the vegetable field in the backyard. Now that many vegetables have grown tall and bloomed, He Er's family wanted to pull out those that were too old, and leave one or two flowering plants as seeds.In addition, some Chinese cabbage and radishes should be replanted in the ground, so that there are some vegetables to eat in winter.

If you don't have enough strength to hoe the ground, it is still possible to help pull vegetables.He He squatted in the vegetable field and pulled it carefully. The old hen brought three pheasants that had grown a lot (now they are domestic chickens), cooing and turning around outside the fence, and even flew over with flapping wings. No matter how you fly, you can't fly.

When He He saw them, he took some time to pick a few vegetable leaves and gave them back. Anyway, these are all for them to eat. I'm afraid they can't finish them. They don't have pigs in their family, so some of them are probably going to rot.

Two days later, after being exposed to the sun, the longan eyelids were a little dry. He He would turn them diligently every day.

This afternoon, He He was looking through the longan eyes. Ye Lin, who hadn't come to their side for a few days, came to find him. He He realized that he hadn't seen the two brothers for a few days.

As soon as Ye Lin entered the door, he put the bag in his hand on the ground, and asked He He, "Where's your brother?"

"Going to the ground." He He stared at him blankly, with such a stinky face, he didn't know where he was offended.

But he didn't ask, but pointed to the bag and asked, "Looking for my brother, what's the matter? And what is this?"

"Prey!" Ye Lin kicked the bag and replied, "It seems that you all forgot the trap you made before, and your brother didn't know to check it out."

He He was taken aback for a moment, and then became excited after a sudden realization. He took a few steps over, grabbed the bag and opened it a little bit to look inside, "I really forgot."

"Well, if I didn't go around for a while, I would probably run away." Ye Lin also squatted down and opened the bag to show him, "Don't be afraid, I have bound feet, so I can't run away."

He He poked his head to look at the colorful ones, and he knew they were all pheasants at a glance. He happily reached out and touched them, "How many are there? Are they all pheasants?"

Although He He's face was still swollen, Ye Lin could see his happiness from above, and miraculously, his mood also improved. laugh.

"Four pheasants, and two rabbits. The other pheasant was dead and its legs were starting to rot. I lost it."

He He was a little surprised when he heard the rabbit, "There are still rabbits? Where is it?" He said and rummaged in the bag.

"I didn't bring it, I put it at my house." Ye Lin held him back and stopped him from searching, "There is no place to put it in your house, the rabbit will run away."

He He thought about it, so he nodded, "You are right, my house is just a chicken coop, and there is really no place to put it."

"I rearranged it again, but next time we have to remember to look at it a few more times, otherwise we won't know if we catch it, and it would be a pity if some of them ran away or died." Ye Lin continued.

"Yeah, yes, I will remember to remind you in the future." He He nodded and looked at the other party, a little hesitant, wanting to ask but afraid of asking the wrong thing.

Ye Lin naturally also noticed his eyes, and couldn't help asking amusedly: "If you have anything to say, just say it, and I won't blame you."

"Cough—" He He coughed and cleared his throat in embarrassment after being pointed out, and then asked hesitantly, "That——are you all right? I heard that your grandma and cousin are still there?"

She had a serious face before, thinking she was offended by someone.

Ye Lin was taken aback by the question, and after a while he understood what the other person was asking, so he shook his head and said it was okay, "Oh, they are still there, and now they are helping my family collect sweet potatoes."

Just mention one thing and say nothing more.

He He's eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked in surprise, "Have you not finished confiscating it yet? I thought it would have been confiscated long ago."

Ye Lin smiled depressingly, "Well, there is still a little left to be collected. If you want to eat, I will go back and send some to your home."

"Is it convenient?" Seeing his ugly smile, He He asked hesitantly, "If it's inconvenient, don't bother, it's just a few sweet potatoes, it's okay if you don't eat it."

Before the two of them collected it together, but after Ye's grandmother came, his parents also went to help, but they didn't go again after only going for a whole morning. Although they didn't say anything after coming back, after the Ye family The brothers have never seen them come to play with them. He He guessed that the old man said something, so he and his brother didn't take the initiative to look for them, so as not to embarrass the two brothers.

Ye Lin couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his hand to touch his head again, "What's the inconvenience, you also said that there are only a few sweet potatoes, so you don't have to be polite to our family."

After these days of cultivation, He He's hair is finally no longer so dry. Although it is still a little yellow, it is easier to touch and grows longer.

He He pursed his lips, silently raised his hand and pushed the claws on his head away, "What should we do with these? Sell them?" He quickly pointed to the pheasant on the ground to change the subject.

"Well, that's what I planned." Ye Lin didn't care, and withdrew his hand naturally, "But next time we catch prey, let's let it go first, grandma is here, and my house doesn't have so many places to put it. "

Naturally, He He had no reason to object, and immediately agreed, "No problem, my yard is still empty, just making a few cages."

But Ye Lin added: "Well, I will come over and help make the cage."

"I'm fine, anyway, your craft is quite good." He stood up while talking, but found that his feet were numb.

He stood up suddenly and didn't almost fall down. Fortunately, Ye Lin reacted quickly and stopped, "Be careful. Are your legs cramping?"

Supporting his body with the opponent's hand, He He carefully kicked his feet hard twice, and then let go of his hand when he felt less numb, and thanked the person: "My leg is numb, thank you."

Ye Lin waved his hand indifferently, "There is nothing to thank, but next time, be careful, you are not in good health, don't squat for too long, and don't stand up too fast, it will be even more uncomfortable if you have cramps."

Then bent down to pick up the bag, walked towards the chicken coop and said: "Let's put these pheasants in your house for now, and let my father sell them in the town tomorrow."

"Okay, let's put it in the chicken coop first." He He followed to help.

After putting away the pheasants, Ye Lin said a few more words and went home. He He scooped some water from the trough and put it in front of the chicken coop for the pheasants to drink.But even if those pheasants were let go of their feet, they just huddled in a corner and didn't move.

He He looked at them for a while and saw that they still didn't move, so he didn't care about them anymore, and went to look through the longan again, and then went back to the kitchen.

It's time to prepare dinner.

Now He He has learned to burn firewood to cook porridge and rice, but he still dares not to cook. After all, his cooking skills in the past have not been lit up, so he dare not try it lightly.
