The He Family Brother of Farming

After delivering the porridge, He Tian carried the empty basket and led his younger brother to continue walking along the field ridge. Because there are not many places suitable for farming, the fields in the village are basically concentrated in one place.Because there are mountains on all sides, Lishan Village is located at the foot of the mountain. A relatively large stream that converges from the mountain divides the village and the field into two, and there are several thinner streams winding down from the field. , and eventually mixed into the central stream.

Don't look at the widest and deepest part of this stream is only more than one meter, and adults can barely sink if they go down.Of course, if there is a lot of rain, it's another matter.But in the driest years, the village survived by relying on this stream.

It can be seen that living in the mountains also has the benefits of the mountains.Otherwise, under the circumstances of not being able to eat enough to eat, the whole family would have moved away a few generations ago, and how could anyone take root in this mountain bump.

There are not many people in the village. In the worst years, the forests on the mountain did not cause much harm. What's more, it is now a year with good weather, so the vegetation in the mountain will only be better. Naturally, the animals in it are also very rich. Even if there are big With no persecution, as long as there are no human beings who are not afraid of death to go into the deep mountains to provoke them, the big wild beasts seldom come outside the mountains.

It's not that there are no hunters in the village, it's just that even the most daring hunters dare not go deep into the mountains. The prey in the outer area is enough for them to hunt.

As long as the children in the village don’t go up the mountain and run in, the wild vegetables and wild fruits in the outermost periphery are enough for them to grow wild, so adults generally don’t refuse children to go up the mountain. The house that lives closest to the mountain in the village is Orion’s house, and Orion will always meet when he comes in and out. If you are holding children, you will also drive them away, which is relatively safe.

But relatively, there will be more things inside, and adults who are more courageous will occasionally go in to try their luck.

He Tian's destination is the place where everyone usually hangs out, even if the wild vegetables inside have not been picked, no matter how bold he is, he would not dare to enter the mountain alone, let alone bring his younger brother.

The way up the mountain will pass by the Orion family. The only Orion family in the village is surnamed Ye. The owner Ye Chenggong is a good husband. Every time he enters the mountain, he never returns empty-handed. Except for the food at home, occasionally the richer family in the village will They exchanged some meat for the family, and the rest of the prey were taken to the town to sell. Over time, Ye Cheng's family lived quite well.

Ye Cheng, who had a family background, did not marry a girl. At that time, the second daughter of the village head's family fell in love with him. But before the village head said anything, Ye Cheng first married a brother from the Li family village outside. Every time the village chief met Ye Cheng, he couldn't help turning black.

Fortunately, one is in the center of the village, and the other is backed by mountains, which is rarely encountered in normal times.

Now that Lang is marrying his own sister, Ye Cheng has two more sons in his family. The eldest son is ten years old this year, and the youngest son is eight years old. It can be regarded as two years of hugging the two. Slapped in the face.And the second daughter also married to another village, and she was also surrounded by children, and she lived a good life.

When He Tian led his younger brother past Ye Cheng's house, he happened to see their eldest son, Ye Lin, sitting in the yard and cutting bamboo sticks with a knife. Fiddle with something.

Ye Cheng probably had already entered the mountain at this time, but his husband Lang hadn't seen him.

Maybe He He's gaze was too focused, or maybe someone passed by, and Ye Lin, who was concentrating on chopping bamboo sticks, raised his head.The people in the same village are also the same age. Although they live far away, the two brothers of the Ye family will not be missing when they usually play.

The relationship between Ye Lin and He Tian is not bad, probably because they usually spend less time playing than other children, because as the eldest son, they always help the house more, so the relationship is better than other children.

"Da Tian, ​​you want to go up the mountain?"

"Lin Zi, what are you doing?"

The two spoke almost at the same time, and couldn't help laughing together again when they were done.

He Tian waved the hand holding his younger brother as a signal, and nodded, "The wild vegetables at home are finished, so go up the mountain to have a look. By the way, bring Xiaohe out to play."

There was no one in the village who didn't know about the situation of He Tian's family, so Ye Lin didn't feel anything strange about the child who kept "staring" at him without blinking.He just nodded when he heard what his friend said, but he stood up and asked his younger brother who was squatting in the corner playing with cabbage worms, "Little brother, are you waiting for Ah at home or go to the mountains with me?"

"I'm going with my brother!"

As early as He Tian uttered his voice, Ye Sen had pricked up his big ears and listened. He didn't answer immediately after hearing what the elder brother said. Snotting his nose, Diandian'er ran out of the yard first, as if afraid of his elder brother's remorse.

Now that the weather is hot and the house is close to the water, the stream in front of the village has become the most popular place for children to cool off from the summer heat.Every day, some children run to the water to finish. The upper part of the water is not as deep as the thighs. The younger children are usually brought by their elder brothers and sisters. The water flow is gentle and there are many big rocks protruding from the water, which is just right. Let the small children sit on it and play in the water, as long as they don't go to the deep downstream, the adults will not care about it.

No, Ye Sen, who is greedy for cold, accidentally caught a cold because he had soaked in the water for a long time. He also usually ran up and down the water, with a strong body, no cough or fever, just a runny nose.

For this, Ye Sen was punished bitterly.

I have been detained at home by his aunt for two days, and I can only go out to play unless my nose stops running, otherwise I have to eat fried pork with bamboo.His skill in swinging bamboo sticks is superb. In the past, he was often waited on, so he stayed at home obediently.

Even if the little friend finds it, he dare not sneak away!But there is no lack of grass in his heart, and now his elder brother has long been eager to ask him.

If you follow Big Brother, you won't be scolded by Ah Mo.

Ye Lin doesn't know what my younger brother is thinking. The insects and ants that have been locked up in the vegetable field these two days have caused a lot of harm. The three of them in the family didn't think that they really kept holding him, just to grind his wildness. son.He would have said it today if he hadn’t brought Ah Mo back later, but he had to say what had to be said.

"You have to listen to me later, or I won't take you there, you know?"

Ye Sen nodded repeatedly, as long as his brother didn't let him stay, he would agree to anything.Seeing that his younger brother was obedient, Ye Lin also took an empty basket, filled it with his previous utensils, and came out to close the fence gate to prevent the chickens at home from running around.

It is backed by mountains, so even if the chickens run in, they may not always come back.

"Lin Zi, you guys go up the mountain too." He Tian also heard what the Ye family brothers said, and said these words with some gratitude.

It's still a little uneasy to bring my younger brother alone, and it's great to be with others.

"Well, my father taught me how to hunt a little bit before, and I want to try it." Ye Lin also wanted to do his best to help the little friends he made friends with.

"That's great. Uncle Ye must be very good at teaching! You will definitely be good in the future." No matter adults or children, there is always a lot of admiration for capable people. He Tian is happy for his friends and sincerely praises them.

"Yeah." The little friend's affirmation made Ye Lin very useful, and a smile appeared on his face, "Let's go a little further in later, there are more things, I walked with my father a few times before, I still remember Lu, you just don’t go far away from me. Especially Komori, otherwise don’t think about me taking you again next time.”

"I must listen to the big brother, I will never run around!" Ye Sen stood up straight and made a promise to the big brother who had opened the way and turned around to name him. It was only a matter of a military salute, and he even told He Tian sensiblely that he would Will help look after his younger brother He He.

"Okay, thank you Komori." He Tian was very happy to hear that, as long as he pays attention, today's harvest should be good.

Although he can't speak, He He in Ruizi is very grateful to his brother's little friend.Regardless of other things, as long as his family can dig more wild vegetables, their family will take it.

At the foot of the mountain, because the villagers come to cut some trees from time to time to go back to the fire, and the wild vegetables are also frequented by the children, so this place is relatively open and has become a range of activities for the children.

If Ye Lin didn't follow, that's He Tian's purpose, and there are still some wild vegetables after looking carefully, the older ones, and occasionally some fish slip through the net on the wild fruit trees.

Some bushes grow taller after entering, but there is still a way to go. If you are lucky, hares and pheasants will also visit here.

Ye Lin led San Xiaocao forward cautiously, his ink-like eyes carefully observed the surrounding traces, trying to find traces of animal life.

This is what he noticed when his father brought him here before, and now he is learning and selling.

If He He knew the actual situation, he probably couldn't help but sigh and curse by the way: You are so courageous!

Of course, Ye Cheng also wanted to teach his eldest son, otherwise he wouldn't have brought his son into the mountains so soon. His husband knew about it, and he would have been sent to the next room to sleep without his husband's acquiescence.

But at this time, the three little ones really dare not come out and follow Ye Lin, thinking that if they can really catch the prey, they are really excited when they think about it!

Finally, when Ye Lin was about to push away the grass in front of him again, even Sanxiao who was following behind heard the chattering sound behind the grass, and all of them couldn't help but their eyes lit up.

There is a situation!

So when Ye Lin turned his head and put his hand to his mouth silently, the three of them held their breaths and slowly squatted down, looking nervous and excited.

Ye Lin himself was also nervous and excited, but after making sure that no one would make a sound, the hand that pushed the leaves of grass couldn't help but tremble a little nervously.Quickly took a deep breath in secret, restrained his heart and hands, and gently pushed the blades of grass away.

The eight eyes are all staring at the other side of the grass. I saw two colorful pheasants pecking at the insects under the thick fallen leaves at their feet. There are also some short gurgling sounds in the throat.

Just when everyone was staring at the pheasant but there was nothing to do, Ye Lin found the white thing in the grass under his hand. His left hand fixed the blade of grass without moving, and his right hand drilled down bit by bit.

"!"

For some reason, this wild egg was not given to his brother or a friend. The moment he met He He's eyes, he put the egg into the opponent's hand with open hands.

The other party was obviously stunned for a long time, until he found the thing in his hand, the pair of oversized but distinct black and white eyes suddenly smiled, and the corners of Ye Lin's mouth subconsciously curled up.

"Egg~" Ye Sen's attention was also taken back by the wild egg in He He's hand, and he was so happy that he wanted to scream, but at the moment of exiting, he suddenly remembered his brother's words, and his voice dropped an octave abruptly, but still I couldn't stop the excitement in my voice, "Brother, I want it too~"

Although he was greedy for the wild eggs in He He's hand, he didn't think about snatching them from He He just because they were taken by his elder brother, but begged his elder brother to pick one for himself.

Ye Lin generally would not refuse his younger brother's request. He touched it just now, and there were several eggs underneath.Immediately, he touched two carefully without hesitation, and generously distributed one to his brother and friend, and kept two in the nest.

This is what I learned from my father.

He explained the situation to everyone in a low voice, and then quietly backed away with the three of them.

This made He He once again admire Ye Lin as a really nice person, knowing that he is willing to give up at such a young age.

It’s good enough to pick up eggs. Don’t count on pheasants if you have no experience and no weapons. will run.

Although he decided to give up, Ye Lin was a little bit unwilling, but when he went back to practice with his father, maybe he could try it next time.

Thinking of this, I didn’t worry about it anymore. I took everyone to touch the eggs again, because everyone agreed that I only picked eggs and didn’t touch chickens. I touched around. Not to mention, the number is quite considerable, more than 20 pieces. Take You can have extra meals at home a few times.

What a windfall!Now I don’t want to continue anymore, just dig half a basket of wild vegetables on the side, regardless of the old or tender ones, and I don’t choose the variety, just eat the ones that can be eaten.

Ye Lin's vegetable basket is relatively small. To prevent the eggs from breaking, a layer of wild vegetables is placed first, and a dozen or so eggs are carefully stacked neatly, and then a layer of vegetables is carefully covered on top.He Tian's is still doing well, in fact, it's okay not to do this, even if someone sees it, it's okay, it's probably the first time I found it by myself, I always want to hide it.
