The He Family Brother of Farming

He He Xiaoxi went home with Li Ran first, and saw that his mother had also woken up.

Zhang Lian, with a five-month-old belly, was half lying on the reclining chair under the eaves, with a thin quilt covering her waist. He Er was making clanking noises in the kitchen, and she didn't know what she was busy with.

The reward for the threshing machine back then was shared equally between the two families.People in the village also knew that the two families shared the reward, but they didn't know how much they shared. They only knew that the He Er family paid off all the debts, and Ye Sen went to the town to study later.

After that, He Er's family opened a small workshop for making potato flour. They needed a lot of sweet potatoes, so they needed to buy them from the villagers, and they also asked everyone to make dried sweet potatoes for sale. People in the village were very grateful to their two families. Yes, this is also the second thing the village chief wanted to say at the beginning. Over the past few years, everyone has accumulated some wealth, so people don't gossip too much.

However, their house still hasn't been renovated, only a warehouse and a chicken coop were temporarily built on the left, and then He He moved to the room on the right, and his brother built a bed in the warehouse.

……

"Oh, sister, why are you lying here? It's still cold outside in this weather, be careful if you catch the wind and cold." As soon as Li Ran entered the yard, he went straight to Zhang Lian.

Zhang Lian looked up and saw that it was the three of them, she hurriedly said with a smile: "It's Brother Li, Xiao Mori went to town?"

"Well, I just left, how are you?"

"Very good. I was wondering when you would come to see me. They all treated me like a clay doll and wouldn't let me do anything, but I was almost suffocated to death." Seeing someone who could talk, Zhang Lian couldn't help but began to vomit bitterness, "You said that it's not that you haven't been pregnant before. When you were still there, you still went to work in the fields as usual. Now you are not allowed to do those things that you can't touch..."

Li Ran moved a bamboo chair over, sat next to her, listened to her complaints, nodded from time to time, and let Zhang Lian find her bosom friend, the words were long and long, and He Er in the kitchen stole When he came out, he saw his son and Zhang Xiaoxi sitting on the small grass pier scraping the radish skins. Hearing what his wife said, he couldn't help but grimace, which made Xiaoxi giggle fiercely over there.

The black line on He He's head.He really didn't expect his mother to become so nagging when she was pregnant.

When Zhang Lian finally felt much more comfortable, Li Ran handed over a glass of warm water in a timely manner, "If you are unhappy, just say it, don't hold it back, look, you feel much more comfortable now, right?"

After taking a sip of warm water to moisten her throat, Zhang Lian felt embarrassed at this moment, "Hehe, I feel much better, but please listen to my nagging."

"What's the matter." Li Ran waved his hand and said with a smile, "You are the most important thing now, you can say whatever you want, it's good for you and the child."

"Let's not talk about this. Is there anything you want to eat now? I'll make it for you."

"Well, it's fine, just do what you see, and I'll trouble Brother Li."

"It's not troublesome to say anything, it should be done, how can a man in charge of your family do this, as long as you don't think my craftsmanship is not as good as yours." Li Ran got up and walked towards the kitchen.

With a straight temper, he entered the door and immediately kicked He Er out. When he heard the jingle when he entered the door, it turned out that He Er was cooking, but he was right, the kitchen was a mess.

He Er came out disheartened, and He He hurriedly said to his father in a low voice: "Father, why didn't you wait for me to come back to do it? Careful mother said you again."

"I, I just want to make some bone soup..." He Er squatted next to his brother, peeking at his wife, and was relieved to see her eyes closed.

He He looked over and checked in his heart, "Father, are we really too careful? Look at Uncle, who just came over to talk for a while, and Mother is much more energetic."

"Hmm..." He Er scratched his head, "Why don't you let your mother do something in the future?"

He He asked, "Father, what did mother do when she was pregnant with me and elder brother?"

Hearing this, He Er suddenly realized that he suddenly had another child after several years. He was so nervous that he forgot that his daughter-in-law was no longer the first child. ah.

But he forgot to take care of his wife's emotions.

Li Ran's actions were quick, and he cooked two dishes in a short while, and Zhang Lian's appetite improved a lot.

He He talked with him for a while before going to Guolin.

This is not considered a fruit forest. It has been planted for more than a year now. It is a small mountain bag that their family just bought for planting longan trees. Although there are some wild ones in the village, they do not belong to their family after all. Usually, no one would tell if they picked and ate them, but if they were sold, there would be problems.

For the past four years, He He has been drying longan every year, but there are only a few longan trees in the village, and there are not many longan trees in the village. Therefore, Mr. Ling and shopkeeper Liu had a lot of fights secretly, but the two who knew the situation did not tell him in front of him. What, He He and the others are also happy not to know.

He He thinks it is better to expand the planting. Even if you don’t grow longan, you can grow other fruits, and if you have more, you can sell them in the town. In the past few years, the population of Dashan Town has increased a lot, and you are not afraid that you will not be able to eat his little. fruit.

So I discussed it with my family and finally bought this mountain bag.

Fortunately, relying on the business relationship with Mr. Ling and shopkeeper Liu, I also saved some money every year by selling odds and ends. People in the village thought that they had almost spent all their savings at home, and they secretly talked about buying a mountain for a long time. .But fortunately, there are more than 100 taels that Fang Zi got when he sold it to shopkeeper Liu. Otherwise, it is estimated that their family would still be crowded together, and the workshop would not be able to open.

But it took a lot to buy saplings, so now their family actually doesn't have much money.

He He went there just to see the saplings that had been transplanted before. Now, besides taking care of his mother at home, the workshop is behind their house, and he can go there to see it at any time. The rest of his time is almost spent on this hillock.

The workshop is not big, and five people from the village were invited to help, two uncles and three wives.

Now, Li Ran comes to their house almost every day, to accompany his mother, and to help him go to the backyard to see the workshop. He He has more time to spend in the fruit forest, and He Er is freed to go to the ground. Take a look here, prepare for spring plowing, and sometimes go to the orchard to help weed and dig holes.

But it is still cold spring, and the soil is still hard and difficult to dig.

On this day, after breakfast, he also cleaned up the house and fed the animals. When Li Ran came, He He carried his hoe and continued to go to the fruit forest with a basket on his back.

The fruit forest is at the oblique rear of the village, and the way to go passes the well in the center of the village.

Because their village took the lead in manufacturing a new threshing machine before, it is said that it was valued by the imperial court. The county magistrate who wrote the letter received a lot of rewards. The emperor also encouraged the citizens to vigorously invent and create, so there was a wave of invention and creation. upsurge.

The county magistrate of Dashan Town was very happy, and other villages behind him also produced some things one after another, but Lishan Village, who was the leader, naturally looked at them differently, so the village chief of their village has been very prestigious in recent years Take a handful, and walk with wind.

"Where is He Geer going?"

As soon as He He walked past the well, he heard someone calling him behind him, and hurriedly turned his head to look, "Grandpa, the village chief, good morning! I didn't go anywhere, so I went to Guolin."

The village chief caught up with him in a few steps, and said to her with a smile, "Oh, that's it. Is your mother okay? If there is anything missing at home, I will come to your grandma Zhang."

"I see, thank you, grandpa, the village chief." He He followed the village chief for two steps, "Where are you going? If you're in a hurry, go get busy first."

"Well, I have something to go to Lijia Village, then you should go too."

"Then you go."

The village chief waved his hand and hurried away.He He still walked slowly towards the goal. Today he mainly went to check on the condition of the saplings, so he was not in a hurry.

It was rare for the sun to come out today. He He looked at the trees one by one, and hoeed some new weeds. When he found that the sun had risen to the top of his head, he stopped, straightened up and wiped the sweat on his face. Call it a day and go home.

After four years of recuperation, his body is finally in good shape, but his family still does not let him do too tiring work, and he himself pays attention to it, never forcing himself, doing these tasks in moderation of.

Going back the same way, when I passed the well again, I was attracted by a conversation and slowed down.

"...Let me tell you, isn't the He Er's family running some kind of workshop?" A somewhat chubby middle-aged man was chatting with a few daughters-in-law sitting under a tree by the side of the road.

Since the threshing machine became famous, Lishan Village has gained a lot of presence in the surrounding villages. In the past four years, several families have been added. Here, slowly those brothers and daughters-in-law who love to chat and gossip gather here.

Some people specially found some stones, or put a wooden board under the tree, so that they could sit, rest and chat.

"That's potato flour."

"Ah yes, it's called this, look at your memory." The middle-aged brother patted himself on the forehead, then slightly lowered his head and leaned over, and said mysteriously, "Oh, those who go to work People are really not ashamed, in such a big place, men and women are crowded together to work, and I don’t know what their family members think, but they can trust them to do things.”

"But I heard that only women and elder brothers work there?" A young daughter-in-law with a new wife's hair combed and a delicate wooden hairpin in her hair asked aloud.

The middle-aged brother rolled his eyes, "That's what I said, but this brother is also a man, isn't he? Then the rich people outside marry their wives and have children, right?"

The new daughter-in-law was at a loss for words, and looked around, the other three new daughter-in-laws also had the same expression.

Although they felt that what the other party said was a bit strange, they couldn't think of a rebuttal for a while.

They had just married and didn't know much about the affairs of the village, so they got together to exchange information with each other while the season was not yet busy.

They had heard about He's workshop a long time ago, and there were some interested people among them, but now when they heard about it, they hesitated.

Seeing their expressions, the middle-aged brother immediately became a little proud, "You also find it difficult, don't you? But some people don't care what the men in the family think, and spend all day with other men because of the money. Women can't stay home together, tsk tsk!"

Just as he was looking triumphantly at the new wives who were obviously retreating, a cold voice suddenly sounded behind him, and he was shocked.

"Uncle Er Mazi, I didn't even know you were so interested in my workshop."
