The He Family Brother of Farming

A few people rushed home before the sun went down. Originally, they wanted to let old man Zhang and his grandson go to Lishan Village together, but thinking that there is really no place to sleep so many people in the house now, so old man Zhang and the others can only go back tomorrow morning. He came in, thinking that it would be unsafe to travel at night, so He He left some meat for old man Zhang to take back to make dinner for them. After all, it was a very hot day today and let him, an old man, run with them for a day. Old man Zhang saw the refusal but could only accept it.

The dinner was cooked by Li Ran and Grandma Zhang, and it was very sumptuous.After dinner, it was still early, so everyone was not in a hurry to leave. They were still sitting around and chatting. Several big men had good temperaments and could chat well, so there was constant laughter in the main room.

After He He finished eating, he went into the room to see his mother and little sister. At that time, the baby had just had milk, and now he is still awake. It has been almost a month. It may be that Zhang Lian has raised well recently, and the milk Sufficient, the little doll is a little chubby, her face is also splayed, white and tender, her eyes are also black and shiny, and big, she should be a little beauty after looking at it.

When He He came in, I saw her lying on the bed, a little quiet, she would only move her hands and feet occasionally, and she seldom cried. She was a quiet girl. Recently, when He He was free, she liked to come over and touch her After touching the little feet and squeezing the little meaty hands, I feel that the little baby is very magical.

Even though she was treated like this by her elder brother, the younger sister didn't cry, she only hummed when she was annoyed occasionally, that's why He He liked it more and more.

"Mom, I'm here to see my little sister."

Zhang Lian had just helped the little girl change her clothes, and she was a little sweaty from drinking milk before, and just wrapped up her daughter, when she saw He He coming in, she couldn't help but asked with a smile, "Are you full?"

He He nodded in agreement, lying on the bed with his upper body, poking his head to look, rubbing his fingers against his younger sister's tender face, with a smile in his eyes, he straightened up after playing for a while, and took out the bag from the small bag hanging on his waist. He took out the things he bought today, and said while digging out, "Mother, I bought something for my little sister today, do you think it fits." Then handed over the small bracelet.

When Zhang Lian saw her, she blamed her and said, "Your sister is still so young, how can she use these things, and spend money indiscriminately?" But in the end, she took the things.

"Mother, how could it be? I saw that the children in the town also wear them. Anyway, our little sister is so cute, and I also heard that wearing some silver on the baby will be good for the health." He He said and lay back. Keep teasing the baby.

Zhang Lian could only shake her head when she heard this. She knew that her brother had made up his mind, and there were a lot of reasons, and they didn't know where he heard it from. Eyes open and eyes closed.

Besides, this is also Xiaohe's wish.Carefully slip the bracelet into her daughter's wrist, not to mention, it fits quite well.

Xu Shi felt that there was something more in his hand, and the baby moved that hand. He He looked interesting, stretched out a finger, and was immediately caught.

"Well, by the way, I have another one here for my mother, and this one is for my little sister from Xiaoxi, mother, you can put it away." After playing for a while, he remembered that there were still things, so He He ran to his room to get them. When the things came back, they were all given to Zhang Lian.

Zhang Lian first opened the cloth bag Xiaoxi gave her, and saw that it was a small set of clothes and a handkerchief. Although the material was very ordinary, the stitches were neat and tight. He He, who is not interested in needlework, knew that the other party was good at work. Zhang Lian smiled. He nodded slightly, then caught a glimpse of He He's eyes, couldn't help poking his forehead with his finger and scolded with a smile: "Are you envious? Who told you not to practice hard before, seeing how well the creek sews, if you With his half-talented mother, I can rest assured, and I won’t be talked about if I talk about him in the future.”

He He put on a blank face, let his mother talk, and only wanted to play with his younger sister, but he didn't know whether the younger sister didn't give him face, or was also sleepy because of their mother's reading, his eyelids kept falling, and after a while He just fell asleep, which disappointed He He who was having fun, but he didn't want to disturb his sister's sleep, so he stood up straight in disappointment, and showed his mother the hairpin he bought today, interrupting him by the way Mother's muttering: "Mother, I chose this one today too. I bring it to you. Do you like it?"

"..." Looking at the hairpin stretched out in front of her, Zhang Lian stopped her mouth immediately, and saw her son looking at her with flattering eyes, feeling helpless and relieved at the same time.

My brother's temperament usually doesn't have much expression on his face. If he didn't know that he became like this because of what happened at the beginning, it's good that the Ye family boy took a fancy to him, otherwise they would really be worried to death.

He stretched out his hands to pinch his son's cheeks, pulled them out, and said helplessly, "Xiaohe, you usually smile a lot, and with such a stiff face, you can see that other children are afraid to come to play with you."

How much I wished so, what fun are those kids having.

Thinking this way in his heart, He He didn't dare to say it out, and tilted his head back as much as possible to save his poor little face. Fortunately, his mother was just joking with him, and she didn't use much force, but his earning made him feel better. There were some red marks on his face.Raising his hand and rubbing his cheeks, He He said indifferently, "Mother, I'm actually pretty good now, and I don't have much to play with them." Besides, with his reputation, he probably doesn't care too much now. No kid dares to play with him.

After hearing his words, Zhang Lian couldn't help but sighed. It wasn't like this before when she was not injured, but now...forget it, as long as her son feels happy, and besides, she still has Xiaoxi as a friend.

Touching the smooth silver hairpin in her hand, Zhang Lian felt astringent and sweet in her heart: "Is the sale of Ganoderma lucidum going well today?"

"Well, Grandpa Ling also treated us to a meal, which is very good." He He nodded, then carefully took out a cloth bag from his lapel again, and stuffed it into his mother's hand, "Mother, this is for selling Ganoderma lucidum You have collected the money, and it will be ready for our family to build a house."

Zhang Lian opened it and looked at it. Although she didn't know the words on it, she still understood the bank note, so her eyes widened immediately.

Seeing her expression, He He knew what his mother meant, so he explained in a low voice: "Grandpa Ling prepared it. I think it's not bad. It's safer, otherwise it's not safe to carry so much money. Well, there are so many money on it." .” He stretched out a palm.

"So... much?" Zhang Lian was tongue-tied.Thinking about giving so many with one flower, but how many flowers there are in the house, I feel a little dizzy thinking about it.

He He also thought of it, so he was in a good mood, "Well, but Grandpa Ling also said that if you encounter other medicines when you go to the mountains in the future, you will take them to them."

"That's what it should be." Zhang Lian nodded, rewrapped the cloth and stuffed it together with the hairpin under the pillow, then looked up at He He, stretched out her hand to smooth his hair, and said with a sigh: "Our Xiaohe also When I grow up, I know that I love others, and my mother is really reluctant."

He He couldn't help being embarrassed when he heard this, what does his mother mean by this?Wouldn't it be what he thought?

Just when Zhang Lian was about to say something more, Grandma Zhang also came in, followed by Li Ran who was carrying chicken soup, which made He He involuntarily heaved a sigh of relief, although he thought so in his heart, but now he was about to hear what his mother said , I still feel a little awkward in my heart, after all, his body is only 11 years old now, 11 years old...

"Grandma, uncle." He He quickly stood up, greeted the two, and went up to support Grandma Zhang.

"Hey, Xiaohe, what are you talking to your mother about?" Grandma Zhang patted the back of his hand with a smile, walking towards the bed.

"Just chatting casually, my sister just fell asleep, grandma, please walk slowly."

"Good good."

"Mother, Brother Li." When everyone was at the bedside, Zhang Lian quickly sat on the bedside and called for someone. She can get up now, but she can't leave the room yet.

He He helped grandma to sit on the stool beside the bed, because people would visit from time to time, there would always be a few stools in the room during this time, and now He He moved another one, so that Li Ran could also Sit down, and then take a seat by the bed by yourself.

"Mother, Brother Li, have you finished eating? Would you like another bowl of soup?" Zhang Lian asked while taking the soup.

"Of course it's ready to eat. You can eat your own. This is carefully prepared by Aran. Drink more and don't waste it."

Sitting next to him, Li Ran smiled and said, "This is all as it should be. Usually, this is the only thing that can help. As long as the girl has taken care of her body, eat it while it's hot. There's not enough left in the kitchen."

"Thank you."

The three of them waited for Zhang Lian to finish eating, and He He said, "Mother, it's been a month, have you decided on your sister's name?"

His question stunned all three of them. Grandma Zhang saw that her daughter was also looking confused, so she couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Why? The son-in-law hasn't decided on a name yet?"

Li Ran also patted himself on the forehead and said, "See, we forgot about it... we didn't even think about it."

Zhang Lian also replied in embarrassment: "Mom, this matter... I and the child's father both forgot... I will ask him later."

"Well, we have to make a decision, otherwise it will be troublesome if people ask me tomorrow." Grandma Zhang thought about it for a while and didn't say anything, probably the son-in-law was too happy to forget it for a while.

He He wanted to say that he would also participate, but he didn't say anything when he thought that he was named Fei, thinking that he would ask his father when he got up tomorrow, and then he would give some advice.

"I'll go to Zhusha tomorrow, will I miss it?" Ye Cheng brought up the big deal on the dining table when he came back, but now Grandma Zhang was still a little worried, so she brought it up again.

"Don't worry, ma'am, they're going to bring the pig back tomorrow morning, it's just a little bit harder." Li Ran comforted her, he was still very confident in his man.

Although Zhang Lian didn't eat together, she could hear it in the room, so now she is not worried at all, but she also understands her mother's mood. Old people always worry about this and that, and comfort her Mother: "Mother, Brother Li is right, you have to trust Big Brother and the others. Besides, didn't you already make an agreement with them when you came back today? You will come with Xiaoxi and the others tomorrow, so there will be no delay."

Grandma Zhang nodded repeatedly. In fact, she also knew that she was always a little uneasy, and she was more worried about her daughter and granddaughter.

"Then...the in-laws should also come."

Thinking of the old house, the people in the room felt a little uncomfortable.

"Grandma, they come whenever they like, you don't have to worry about them, just stay with your mother and sister." He He jumped off the bed, came over and stood next to her, "Why don't you help me think about what my sister's name is?" A name? Otherwise, I'm afraid that my father will choose an ugly name, and my sister is so cute, so I should choose a nice name."

The three of them were all amused, and temporarily put down those relatives, Li Ran interrupted and asked, "Why don't you come and get one, Xiaohe? Let your parents refer to it?"

"Uh... I'd better listen to my father." He He said and walked outside, "I'll go ask my father first, mother, you can talk slowly."

"This child..." Zhang Lian looked at his back, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

After a while, the three of them heard his voice outside: "Father, what's your sister's name?"

"..."

The voices in the main room fell silent, and Ye Cheng's doubtful voice sounded after a long while: "Isn't it? You haven't thought of what the little girl's name is until now, have you?"

"I... I really forgot..." He Er replied a little embarrassed.

"Brother-in-law, I think you are overly happy, why don't you think about it quickly, it will be a month tomorrow, you should have a name?"

"Yeah, dad, we can't keep calling me little sister, can we?"

"Got it, I'm starting to think about it now."

……

In the early morning, the cock crowed for the second time, and the He family began to ring.

Because he was preoccupied, he didn't sleep well. When he heard the sound, He He turned over and got up, trying not to wake up the grandmother on the bed. Unfortunately, he still didn't succeed. He had just put on his clothes. Grandma Zhang woke up on the bed.

"Xiaohe?"

He He paused for a moment, looked up and vaguely saw the shadow of grandma sitting up, so he asked softly, "Grandma, did I wake you up?"

"No," Grandma Zhang replied in a low voice, "My old man doesn't sleep much, but you, why don't you sleep more? You don't have to wake up so early."

After getting dressed, He He folded the quilt on the floor and replied, "I've had enough sleep too, grandma, please wait for a while, I'll pack it up now."

At this time, there was the sound of closing the door and the sound of footsteps going away. The two stopped and listened quietly for a while, but they didn't find any sound coming from the other side, so they were relieved.

He He quickened the movements of his hands, and there was a rustling sound from Grandma Zhang's side, which should also be putting on clothes.When He He put the things in the cabinet and put them away, grandma was already groping to get ready to go out. He hurriedly lit the lamp. He was afraid that grandma would not light the oil lamp because of the noise, so they kept them in the dark for so long.

"Grandma, wait a minute, put on the lamp, don't fall."

"I'm just going to see your mother, you should take it with you."

He He didn't answer, just held the lamp in one hand, supported her with the other, and sent her to the opposite room. Seeing that she had walked in safely, he went to the kitchen. Dad probably went to pull pigs with his uncle, so he still had a little time to catch her. It's time to cook something for everyone.But as soon as he lit the fire, Li Ran hurried in from the outside, was a little surprised to see him, and asked him why he got up so early, He He had no choice but to tell him again, making Li Ran praise him for being sensible.Then he himself got busy quickly, because he often eats together, he may be more familiar with the kitchen here than He He.

As soon as Li Ran came, He He became a fire worker, but in order not to disturb Zhang Lian and the children next door, the two of them kept their movements as light as possible, and occasionally talked very quietly. After a while, grandma also came out.

"Grandma, why did you come out too? Why didn't you bring a lamp?"

"It's okay. I saw that your mother and the others were still resting well, so I came out to help. There are many people and things are done quickly. What is this black, grandma has lived like this for so many years." Grandma Zhang saw that He He was worried. He smiled and patted his hand comfortingly.

"It must be fine if you come to help." Li Ran also said with a smile, "Do you want Xiaohe to go back and sleep for a while?"

He He shook his head and said that he could hold on, Li Ran Zhang's grandma stopped trying to persuade him, but just told him to pay attention to himself and go to rest when he was tired, He He naturally agreed.After helping for a while, I thought of something to ask Li Ran: "Uncle, where are those ducks?"

Thinking of getting up early today and being busy with other things, for fear of disturbing the children, he simply put the ducks and chickens at Ye's house in advance yesterday, and he will kill them there today, so He He will only Thinking about it, it will take a lot of time to kill so many chickens and ducks, and it will take a lot of time to deal with it, so I asked.

"Don't worry, your brother and Lin Zi were busy there when I came over, and I'll go back to help them later." Li Ran replied while kneading the dough.

He He thought about it for a while and still thought it would be better to go over there first to help. The two of them didn't know how long it would take, so they couldn't sit still.

"Grandma, uncle, I'll go over there and have a look."

"Go, go slowly, it's still dark, be careful."

He He responded, and hurried into the darkness. Fortunately, he was already familiar with this road, and he would not cross even in the dark. It was precisely because of this that Grandma Li Ranzhang felt relieved that he would go out alone.

The Ye family is also shining now, which gave He He the direction of the way. When he got close, he saw that his brother and Ye Lin were already busy.A large pot was set up directly in the yard to boil water. The chickens and ducks were all tied up and piled aside, and the knives and pots were all ready, just waiting for the water to boil.

"How did you come?"

Ye Lin hugged the firewood, and recognized He He walking from the dark at a glance, and He Tian, ​​who was said to be lighting a fire in front of the pot, also looked up and looked this way, also full of surprise, "Xiao He got up too? "

"Well, let's take a look and help out." He He walked in a few steps, and immediately could see everything around the fire, "Is the water boiled?"

He stretched out his hand to lift the lid to see what happened, but was separated by an arm. Ye Lin stretched out his hand to stop him, and looked at him disapprovingly: "Don't get so close, be careful of burning." The firewood in his arms is placed next to the stone stove, so He Tian can get it easily.

When I bent down, something fell out of the skirt of my clothes, and it swayed in the firelight. He He saw it at a glance, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitched. Then he took a step back obediently, looked left and right, and moved a small stool over. Sit next to his brother and watch the fire together.

He kept throwing firewood into it without hesitation, and the water in the pot boiled quickly. He Tianyelin worked together to pour the boiling water into the large wooden basin prepared earlier, and then poured the water into the pot again to continue boiling. He went to the side and caught a duck. One person grabbed the duck with a knife and the other caught the duck. He bled the duck neatly.

He He is responsible for plucking ducks, but plucking is not an easy task. Fortunately, ducks have been raised for enough time and there are not so many new feathers, otherwise it will really break people.

Ye Lin Hetian didn't kill all of them at once, but killed three first, and one person took charge of one first, but it took a lot of time, and He He didn't completely fade away until Li Ran brought over the food. One, stood up and moved around a bit. It was a bit tiring to keep bending over like this.

"Come and eat before you get busy." Li Ran put all the food on the small table in the kitchen, and called the three of them to come and eat.

He He washed his hands, forked a bun with chopsticks and bit it, pulling out the duck feathers made his hands smell fishy, ​​but he didn't care about it at this time, if he didn't hurry up, he would really be in a hurry.

"Uncle, have you eaten yet?" While eating, he did not forget to ask the other party.

Li Ran helped put the porridge into bowls, so that the porridge would cool down and be convenient for the three of them to eat. Hearing what he said, he hurriedly replied: "I'll bring it to you after eating. Don't worry, you still have your grandma at home. You Mother and the others won't be hungry. Xiaotian Linzi, come and eat first."

"Hey, I got it, I'll be here soon." He Tian Yelin replied almost at the same time, speeding up the movements of his hands, and he had to fix this one no matter what.

Li Ran didn't urge him any more when he saw it, but after finishing everything, he also came out to work together. Seeing that the water in the pot hadn't boiled completely, he simply took He He's shaved duck and prepared to break its belly. If the children lose their hair, he will continue to do it at a faster speed, and he is much more proficient in this than the children.

The four of them worked together, and the speed was much faster. In addition, some acquaintances came to help one after another, and the Ye family gradually became lively after a while.

When He Eryecheng and the others pulled the pig back, the scene of killing the pig became even more lively. Unfortunately, He He was driven away again, which made him very embarrassed and couldn't open his eyes.

He really wanted to see what kind of scene this pig killing was like, but it was a pity that all the adults present, including his brother and Ye Lin, opposed it, so he had no choice but to follow some people who were afraid of the bloody scene back to his home. Killing a pig, then he'd better go see his lovely sister.

When I got home, I found that many people came to the house, but they were all elderly grandma, who were sitting and talking with his grandmother. He He went in to find his mother after saying hello. There was no way, that circle He is also completely out of touch.

When I went in, I saw that his mother had already woken up, because the sky was not yet fully lit, so the oil lamp was still burning in the room.

"I'm back." Zhang Lian was leaning against the head of the bed, holding her daughter in the crook of her arm, patting her daughter lightly, probably she was coaxing her to sleep after eating just now.

He He quickly walked over, poked his head to look, and sure enough, he saw that his sister's eyelids had begun to droop, as if she was about to sleep or not.

"Woke up?"

"No, I'm hungry, but I'm going to bed again." Zhang Lian replied softly, continued to pat her left hand, looked at He He and asked, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

"Eat, Dad and the others are back and busy with Ye's house." When He He said this, his brows were slightly frowned, and he still seemed unhappy.

Zhang Lian laughed, "You are still young, your father and the others are doing it for your own good, do you think there is anyone as old as you staying there?"

Hasn't he never experienced a scene more terrifying than this?Thinking of what he saw when he entered the mountain, He He pouted in his heart, but it would not be good to mention this in front of his mother, so he nodded to express his understanding.
