The He Family Brother of Farming

Time goes by sometimes fast and sometimes slowly. When you are busy, you feel that there is not enough time at all. If you are racing against time, you are afraid that the crops planted late will be in vain.After finishing the work in the field, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief and realized that another year was about to pass, and they couldn't help sighing.

He Er's family is going to build a new house, and they have already heard some news when everyone sent Longan over. Now everyone finally has some free time, so they are not surprised that He Er came to find someone to help, and they are also very refreshing I agreed, and this was originally a favor of the villagers. If there is something in the family, there will usually be someone to help.

This time, He Er's family planned to tear it down and rebuild it again. Therefore, as early as a few days ago, He Erjiu was next to him, which was the area where He He and the others were exercising, and simply built a shed, and then slowly put things away After moving there, the extra things were moved to Ye's house.

In fact, there are not many things in their house. Except for the food that has just been taken back, the most are the longans that have not had time to dry after they have been taken back. Later, the calf was taken to be with the two sheep as companions. Now the lamb basically regards the calf as a companion, and instead puts its mother aside. The ewe is very calm, and every time it is released to graze, it only eats my own.

As early as He Eryecheng had the idea of ​​building a new house for the first time, he went into the mountains one after another to find the wood to be used during this period, especially the beam wood was found a few days ago. After dinner last night, I went to the village for a walk, and told the villagers that their house will be demolished tomorrow, and then rebuild the house. Therefore, people came to their old house one after another early today, Ye Dashan and He Yong The two were the first to come, and as soon as they greeted each other, they hurried away. They both brought their own ladders and came up to the roof after a few clicks. He He really admired it.

"Be careful, you two." He Er followed his son and shouted to the top.

The two smiled heartily on the top, waved their hands and said with a smile: "We will pay attention, but Brother He should walk away, so as not to accidentally drop something and touch it."

He He nodded, and also shouted up: "I'll leave later, and the two uncles will come down to rest when they get tired." Then he turned to his father, "Father, I'll go back and cook some mung bean porridge first, the weather is still very bad now It’s hot, let’s have a drink at noon.”

"Go, if Rui'er is making trouble, ask your mother to hold her away. It will be noisy these few days." "I put the water here, and you can drink it yourself. If there is no cry, I will bring it over." .”

"Well, let it go, I will tell them later, you go back first, Dad is also busy." He Er also climbed up to the roof after speaking.

Seeing that other people in the village were also slowly coming over, He He didn't stay any longer, turned around and walked towards Ye's house. Although they had temporarily built a shed, they were cooking and cooking at Ye's house temporarily.

Ye Cheng also arrived at the old house when he was leaving, followed by He Tian Ye Lin, He He greeted them and told them to be careful, He Tian Ye Lin responded with a smile.

"Yo, Cheng Zi, you are late, you should be punished."

When someone saw him coming in, he teased him loudly, but Ye Cheng was not angry, and replied loudly: "Tsk, do you think this is for drinking? But if you bring alcohol, then I am willing to punish you three times." bowl."

The man became hoarse for a moment, and after a while he cursed with a smile: "You wish I could bring the bar?" Everyone present laughed again.

"If you bring wine, you have to prepare some food and drink." Another person also answered with a smile.

Ye Dashan on the roof was also busy joining in the fun. He piled up a pile of good tiles in his hands, and threw the broken ones on the ground. He pointed his mouth at He Er and said, "It's not easy to serve wine and vegetables? Chengzi's kung fu is so good." Well, isn’t there one in the mountains? But you have to ask the second boy first if you want everyone to drink.”

"What's the matter, let's have a drink together tonight." He Er replied with a smile.

"That's good, I'll wait for your sentence." Everyone shouted, and the scene was full of excitement.

He Tian Yelin didn't get on the roof, but in the yard, he helped dismantle the chicken coop, moved things, listened to the adults talking, and sometimes laughed along with him.Everyone chatted a few words while they were busy, but they didn't feel bored. Then when they saw the two children, some of them started joking.

"Let me tell you, Cheng Zi, your Linzi is thirteen or fourteen, right? Why are you in no hurry to see you?"

"That's right. Back then, parents at our age were in a hurry. Why didn't your family ask anyone for news?"

Ye Cheng, who was asked, was still smiling. With his hands, he firmly caught the tiles thrown from the house, handed them to the next person, and replied, "It's not urgent. The children are still young. If you don't care about it, don't worry about it." It won't be too late in a year or two, just take advantage of it now to learn more, or you will be disliked and useless by then."

The person who took over asked in surprise: "Is Lin Zi not good enough?"

"That is, apart from Xiaotian and Linzi, which other children in our village would dare to go into the mountains like them?"

"Yeah, who else can if they can't?"

The big guys agreed one after another, and they started to praise He Tian Yelin. The two were a little embarrassed by the praise, and they didn't dare to speak out, they just worked in silence.

"Hey, I'm talking about you guys." Ye Cheng didn't know whether it was intentional or really worried that the two of them would be overly praised, so he interrupted their words loudly, raising his eyebrows, "Men can say anything, but they can't say no." !"

The people present were stunned when they heard this, and then burst out laughing again after a while. He Yong laughed directly on top of him and shook his body. If it wasn't for Ye Dashan's quick reaction to pull him, he would have almost fallen off.

Ye Cheng still raised his eyebrows, glanced around and asked, "Isn't it?"

"Yes, you are right! Hahaha——"

"Hehe—Yongzi, be careful, otherwise I'm afraid it will really fail." He Er also made a rare joke. He also saw He Yong's crookedness before, but he stayed away from the two of them, and now he is safe. , I also opened my mouth to make a joke.

The people below laughed when they heard it. He Yong threw a small fragment at him, and scolded with a smile: "Second boy, do you want me to fall, so that I can save my share of food and drink?"

"Yongzi, don't worry, I will help you get rid of your share." Ye Dashan also said.

He Yong shook his head and sighed: "What kind of friends are these? It's fine if you don't comfort me, but they all run on and bully me. You all have to help me judge."

"Actually, I'm on your side, Yuko." The villager who was sitting on the edge of the ladder looked at him and said, "But I think what Dashan said is right, your share is still reserved for us. Help you eat, don’t you think so?”

"Haha, yes."

"Hurry up and do things, there is no soup after finishing cooking, and you still want to drink?" He Yong simply put on a straight face and shouted angrily.

"That's up to the second kid to decide."

……

The sun slowly rose into the sky, and the temperature gradually increased. Everyone was still busy, but they talked less. The demolition of the house was already tiring, and there was a lot of smoke and dust. Everyone became thirsty after a while. With a bowl of water, the boiled water that He He had prepared before bottomed out quickly.

"Is the water almost gone?"

When He Tian brought water to an uncle again, Ye Lin asked, and He Tian nodded. He himself was thirsty, but thinking that everyone was helping their family, he kept pouring water for them. "Would you like some drink too?"

Ye Lin shook his head: "I'm not very thirsty, I should have some at home, go back and get it." Although it's almost noon and it's almost time for lunch, it's better to have more water.

"Then I'll go back and get it."

"Well, I'll go with you, so they should have lunch ready, and it's time to bring them over for them to eat together."

Originally, I didn’t need to worry about lunch, as long as I invited someone to have a meal at night, but according to his understanding of He He, he should have prepared everything, so I just went back and checked, if it was normal, it would be fine, if it was too good, it would be inappropriate , lest other people in the village say it again.

Although the usual meals of their two families are much better now, at least compared to most of the village, but they are not easy to break the rules of the village.

"Then let's go back and have a look together."

Because He Er was also on the roof, it was not easy to tell him, so the two of them simply left without saying hello and carrying the bucket.

Back at Ye's house, I saw He He and Li Ran and they were already preparing lunch.

"Ah, is there any cold water?" Ye Lin walked to the door with a bucket and asked.

He He was washing vegetables, when he heard what he said, he looked back, pointed to the bucket at the door and said: "Yes, I have been burning it, and the one over there should be almost cold, and we are about to send it there. Here it is, just in time, I cooked mung bean porridge, let's bring it to everyone, and soak it in the bucket under the eaves." While talking, he got up and walked over to signal them where to go.

When He Tian went to see the mung bean porridge, Ye Lin was still nodding his head. Seeing that his face was also sweaty, he couldn't help frowning, and said with some disapproval: "Don't be in such a hurry, I'll come back to get the water, and be careful about yourself." .” After speaking, look behind him, “Are you preparing lunch?”

"Well, it's almost noon."

"That's fine, you can just eat some green vegetables, you don't need to prepare anything specially." Ye Lin reminded again, even though his aunt was there, he still couldn't hold back.

Originally, Li Ran didn't want to interrupt, but seeing that his son hadn't looked at him except for the first sentence, he couldn't hold back and interrupted: "I'm still here, why are you stupid? Is it? Besides, Xiao He is not stupid."

Ye Lin glanced at Ahmai, then at He He in front of him, his ears felt a little hot, and he also had a moment...for a moment, he didn't think about it again, but when He Tian said he was coming to get water, he just thought of it all at once. This, he also came back together for this reason, and now that his aunt said it, his reason was a bit reluctant, it seemed that all of his thoughts were exposed in front of everyone, and he suddenly didn't dare to look He He in the eyes.

Xiaohe originally lived in this village, so how could she not understand some of the village's customs?

"I... I'll send the water over first."

Hastily dropped this sentence, picked up the bucket and left, but He Tian stopped him after walking a few steps: "Wait, are you just carrying it like this?"

Ye Lin stopped, and turned around after a few seconds, still not looking in the direction of the kitchen, He Tian didn't say anything else, motioned for the pole in his hand, and then pointed to the bucket with mung bean porridge at his feet , Ye Lin paused before coming over and carrying mung bean porridge with him to the old house.

Li Ran looked at the backs of the two, and muttered in a moderate voice: "This silly boy."

He Hedang didn't hear anything, and came back to continue washing vegetables, if he didn't look carefully at the two red ear tips.

The mung bean porridge cooked by He He is welcomed by everyone. Drinking a bowl of cool and sweet mung bean porridge on a hot day will relieve more than half of the heat.

It's even better if it's iced!

Thinking of the materials for making ice, He He patted himself on the forehead. He forgot to ask Mr. Ling if he had saltpeter in the town several times. Attention again?

He He rubbed his chin, it seems that he still needs to think about it.

There are many people and strength, and it didn't take long to demolish the old house. If it wasn't for the fact that it was too hot during the day, it would have been almost a day.Because it needs to be expanded and the foundation needs to be laid again, the progress is a bit slow.He He didn't expect to be too independent. He was still the same as the people in the village. He just built a mud and tile house, and his house could be built with bricks and tiles, but the first brick had to be bought in the town, and the journey was far away. Not to mention, if it is built like this again, it will be too conspicuous in the surrounding villages.

When the house was actually built, most people in the village came to help, so the speed was really fast. The structure of the house was similar to that of the old house, and there were only three rooms. If it hadn’t been for the mud walls and beams to dry , the estimated time will be faster.

However, building houses in the village, digging foundations and erecting beams are always more important things, and the village chief will usually be present to preside over them.

So on the day of raising the beam, the village chief also made a special trip. He Er lit incense and set off firecrackers. The village chief and old man He set up the first crossbar.Looking at the beam on the roof that was tied with red cloth and firmly placed on it, He Er was very excited and happy, and shouted to the villagers who were also happy around him: "Everyone eat and drink well tonight, I, He Er, am here Thanks folks!"

Ye Chengcheng stood on his left side, and when he heard the words, he punched him very bluntly and said, "You don't need to say that? Everyone is waiting to eat your delicious food tonight, and wine will be even better."

"That's right, what Cheng Zi said is right. Second boy, your family will not escape tonight. Let sister-in-law prepare the meals early."

"Haha, you kid knows how to eat, but you are right."

……

People around said that they would not be polite or something, He Er's eyes became hot when he heard that, and he almost shed tears.

Thinking that their family could barely survive a few years ago, I didn’t expect that such a big new house has been built now. Although the first beam is only installed now, after tomorrow, this will soon become their new home , so He Er was inevitably excited.

He was about to lower his head to cover it, but he didn't expect that an arm suddenly stretched out from the side, hooked his neck and pressed down hard, so that he almost fell down when he was unprepared, and managed to stand still, just as he was about to raise his head Suddenly, a mocking voice was heard above his head.

"What? Second boy, do you want to go back on your word? Didn't you hear what everyone said? Why are you so dazed?"

He Er's heart warmed up, and he pretended to grab the opponent's arm with his hand, quickly wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, then raised his head, and smiled at everyone: "Chengzi, what are you doing? Am I, He Er, such a person?" ?”

"It's fine if you don't go back on your word." Ye Cheng also let him go, put his backhand on Ye Dashan's shoulders, raised his chin and said, "We all heard the truth, if you don't prepare wine tonight, We will not forgive you."

His words attracted everyone's echo, and He Er hurriedly said that he would never forget, so everyone let him go. The village chief and old man He stood outside to watch them booing, and did not make a sound to stop him.The village chief glanced at the old man He beside him, and saw that the other party was still silent, but his eye circles were also red. He couldn't help but sighed, and said something as if talking to himself: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings."

"..."

After the village chief said that, he left with his hands behind his back. He would also tell his wife to come over early to help with dinner. With so many people, how could they be busy with the preparation of He Eryecheng's family?

Old man He glanced at his second son again, and went back to his home in silence.

The first beam is finished, and it will stop for one night no matter whether it is sooner or later, so this time it is still early. After everyone packed up the things they need tomorrow, some went home first, and only came back after dinner. They simply followed He Er and Ye Cheng back to Ye's house to help with the dinner. They didn't know how to cook and stir-fry, but they could still help with things like killing chickens and rabbits.

The rabbits were caught by Ye Chengheer when he went to the mountain to cut wood, and some were caught by the traps Ye Linhetian set up outside, so although there is no pig slaughter tonight, there is definitely enough meat In fact, the folks are not picky, as long as there is meat, it doesn't matter what kind of meat it is, haha.

He He was originally helping out, but after his father and the others came back, he was driven to take care of his younger sister. The younger sister is almost five months old now, and she can basically recognize people. Her favorite is obviously her mother. There is also this little brother, so she didn't cry when He He took her away. Even as she got older, her weight also increased.

Carrying the younger sister to the backyard, he saw his brother and Ye Lin were there, still studying the small stroller, so he quickly walked a few steps forward and sat down next to Ye Lin, and put the younger sister on his lap for her to Leaning back against himself, he let out a sigh of relief.

Ye Lin looked at him sideways: "Why didn't you call us? Rui'er is quite heavy now."

"Well, it's almost twenty catties, right? Ye doesn't know if this is normal. I think it's better to find time to ask the doctor. It's not good to grow fat like this." He He squeezed the little girl's fleshy flesh The little hand frowned slightly, and answered with some concern.

He Tian also raised his head to look at the little girl when he heard what they said, not to mention, she was really fat and fleshy, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so he smiled and said: "People's children don't even have to gain weight if they want to grow fat." , you are worried about gaining weight instead, Xiao He, you might as well worry about yourself, no matter how much you eat, you don’t see any growth, and you don’t see any growth, where did you eat all this?”

One sentence hit He He's sore spot again, so he glared and said, "Brother, you are jealous of people like me who can't eat fat, unlike you, you will start to gain weight at a young age, hehe, be careful no girl My brother has taken a fancy to you."

"Well, he's just jealous of you." Ye Lin chimed in coolly at the side, and pulled away the little girl's little hand that was about to be put in her mouth.

"..." He Tian was choked by the words of the two, opened his mouth and didn't think of how to refute for a while, and finally had to bow his head silently and continue fiddling with wood.

After teasing his brother, He He was in a good mood, and finally remembered to ask a serious question: "Have you been researching for so long and still haven't figured it out? Which step went wrong?"

When it comes to serious matters, He Tianyelin quickly straightened his expression, "Actually, it can basically be made, and we have already made some parts."

"Then what's the problem? I haven't seen you make one for so long, why don't you make one first and see what the problem is?"

He Tian Ye Lin looked at each other, He Tian patted himself on the head fiercely, and then said with a smile: "We have really turned the corner, and we have been thinking about whether this is wrong, and we have never thought about putting together one. .”

Ye Lin didn't speak, but he could see the obvious annoyance on his face, He He patted them quickly, and comforted him: "It's okay, everyone has been busy recently, it's okay if you don't react for a while, if you can Let's put together one first, so that Rui'er can try it out, she doesn't like being hugged all the time in this hot weather."

He Tian wiped the sweat off his forehead, nodded in response: "That's right, it's really too hot today." He said and looked up at the sun that had begun to set west, when the sun was still very bright.

Ye Lin also raised his head to look at the still clear sky, his brows were slightly furrowed, and in the next second, someone flicked the center of his brows. Although the force was negligible, he regained his senses immediately.

"You're only so young, but you just frown all day long, do you want to have wrinkles at a young age?"

Looking at the small face in front of him, Ye Lin suddenly smiled, but He He was baffled by his smile, and couldn't help reaching out to test the temperature of his forehead again, didn't it burn?

I was about to say something more, but my attention was drawn away by the little girl on my lap, I quickly looked down, and saw that she was poking forward, and the two little fleshy hands also tried to reach forward, followed by looking, only to find that It was the wooden block in his brother's hand, and he probably wanted to play with it, but unfortunately none of them dared to give it to her. In order to divert her attention, He He had no choice but to concentrate on coaxing her to play with him.

Fortunately, the adults outside were also very fast, so Zhang Lian found her soon after, and took He Rui away, presumably her dinner had also arrived.

He He breathed a sigh of relief, taking care of children is not so easy.
