The He Family Brother of Farming

He Er and his wife saw that their elder brother went out to play and brought back a pile of grass, which looked quite precious, which was strange enough.

The other brothers either dig wild vegetables or wild fruits, or a few wild flowers, and their family actually likes this kind of things.

"Aren't there any flowers on the mountain?" When He He went to put the 'tail' grass, the couple pulled the eldest son and asked quietly.

He Tian shook his head, "Xiaohe likes to make things up, so I want more."

Since the son likes it, let him do whatever he wants. Now his brother is more and more able to express his thoughts. The old doctor also said that he may not have spoken for a long time, as long as he practices more, he will still be able to speak in the future.

He He didn't know that his parents thought he liked it, so they carried the tail grass to the house and put it at the base of the wall, intending to dry it and tie it into a broom.Because I moved here and was busy cutting rice, I didn’t have time to tidy up the backyard here. There were weeds growing everywhere, some even reaching his waist. There was only one old hen in the house, and the one in the front yard was enough for it. active.

Standing at the back door looking at his own backyard, He He felt quite at ease. In his last life, in order to have a home of his own, he worked so hard for half his life that he must be able to afford a room of tens of square meters, which is equivalent to his own backyard now. Living here It's okay to be hard, as long as you work harder, your life will not be too bad.

He is still a very easy to satisfy person, he doesn't expect to be rich and powerful, as long as his family is healthy and happy.There are mountains and rivers here, and there are parents and elder brothers who love him. I am really grateful!

Thank you for letting me have what I have now.

Feeling in his heart for a while, He He turned back to the house with a relaxed mood. At this time, the sun had just set behind the mountain, and the light in the main room was much darker, and there was still sound in the room on the right. He He walked to the door to probe I saw that it was getting darker here, so I opened a window on the wall of the courtyard.

Looking intently, he realized that it was his father and elder brother who were putting away the things they moved back today. Seeing that there was nothing he could do to help, he went out to the kitchen next door.

His mother is indeed here.

Walking to the door, with the afterglow in the sky and the firelight in the stove, he roughly read the layout inside.

First impression, that is small.

It's really small, maybe less than 1.5 meters wide by visual inspection, and the length is okay.The stove is near the door. It is similar to a firepit, except that more than half of it is built into a circle. The diameter is as big as our current paint buckets. Now there is an iron pot on it, which is cylindrical, and the two sides are wound with iron wires. Two handy carry handles.

"Why is Xiaohe here? Are you hungry?" He Erjia, who had lowered his head and focused on the fire, saw him squatting beside him and stared at him, so he asked with a smile. He got up, lifted the lid with his left hand and looked at it, "We have to wait a while."

Just now, He He followed his mother's move and looked at it, and saw that the water inside had boiled, and it smelled a little like rice, but He He knew that the inside was boiled brown rice.

Although two loads of millet were distributed today, the hulls have not been removed. Even if the hulls are removed, it is impossible for their family to eat white rice every day. Not to mention keeping the seeds, the harvest will be delayed until next summer. This is just a little bit. It must be enough.

For the old house, I can't help but hate their unfeeling and selfishness, but in exchange for their family working hard to support the family, I can't eat enough.

Seeing a pile of straw that had been cut before was piled up behind the door, He He became angry.Their family really doesn't have any livestock now, and the old hens are useless for making nests. These are basically moved by his mother for fire.

Twist it, tidy it up, tie it up with two ends, divide the braid into three parts like a braid, add more and lengthen it bit by bit, then braid the old long one, and then roll up the tied end, Roll it into a big circle, and then tie it to prevent it from falling apart, and a grass mound is completed.

I tried to sit on it, and the newly made one is quite firm, a bit stiff, but it will soften after a long time. It is comfortable to sit on this winter and I am not afraid of the cold.He He felt pretty good about himself, and he was satisfied with the first try.

He Er's family watched his brother make such a thing in a few moments, it was shorter than a stool, and he didn't have to bend down to start a fire, so he stared at it with great interest.

His mother's gaze was too eager, He He silently gave up the grass mound, if his mother likes it, he can just make up another one.

Tried to sit down, um, sure enough, as I thought before, I just had to squat up halfway to get the situation in the pot, but overall it was quite convenient.

"Our Xiaohe is really nice, this straw stool is nice, my mother likes it."

nice! You love it.

He He narrowed his eyes with a smile in his heart, pulled the straw again and made another one. The dinner is not ready yet, and he has nothing to do.

It's easy for someone to travel through cooking. He didn't have that skill in the first place, so it's better not to waste food, just wait for his mother to do it.

During dinner, the other two members of the family showed strong interest and praise for the new grass mounds in the kitchen. The beautiful He He ate an extra bowl of porridge with wild vegetables, which made his belly round. He had no choice but to feel in the dark Stroll in the yard to digest food.

In the village, when it gets dark, it is really dark, unless it is a moonlit night.

It's the end of the month, and there are only stars shining in the sky. There is no cloud in the world that can be seen in Lishan Village, so the stars can be seen clearly, and I feel that I can see the stars farther into the depths.

He He was almost obsessed with watching, if his mother hadn't told him to go back to sleep, he would have realized that his neck was so sore.

Tomorrow is still a sunny day!

This is what mother said to his father before going to bed, and what else he said later, he no longer remembers, and fell asleep.

The place is small, so he doesn't care about sharing a bed with his parents, but he managed to sleep in the innermost one.

When he was able to express himself better, he asked to sleep in the main room. Although his body was only over seven years old, and it was common for him to sleep with his parents in the village at this age, he was no longer a child inside. Well, if it wasn't for the situation, he wouldn't be ashamed to sleep with his parents.

A good night's sleep for the family.

……

When the sun climbed down the hill, across the yard, and up the window of their house, He He woke up to the sound of the old hen and three chicks cooing as they searched for bugs to eat in the grass in the yard.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he was indeed the only one left in the room. He yawned and got up, picked up the neatly folded clothes beside the bed in his mother's caring house, dressed, got out of bed, and walked out wearing straw sandals.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the house, I was accidentally squinted by the bright sunlight outside, and I stretched out my hand to block it before I got used to it.

Mother is right, today is another sunny day.

The eldest brother is weeding with a hoe in the yard. Every time we go down with the hoe, a live half earthworm is brought along with the weeds. The long earthworms reached the mouth, and then ran back to the chickens, put down the earthworms and called to the children to eat.

So He Tian had to wait for a while every time, and he would hoe the next time when the old hen didn't find another one and left.The progress is much slower.

At this time, He He also came to the side, squatting there with his messy hair on his head, his eyes were shining brightly, which made him want to laugh.

"There's a meal left in the kitchen for you, go eat it quickly, otherwise Lin Zi and the others will have to wait for a long time when you go up the mountain."

Only then did He He remember that he had to go to the back mountain to look for honey today, and he forgot to pay attention to the chickens, and ran to wash his face and eat.

The back view is full of joy, which makes people feel a lot better after seeing it.

He Tian hoeed a few overgrown weeds, grabbed the tops and tapped the hoe to remove the soil from the roots, shook them and threw them on the side of the open space. They could be used as firewood when dried.

Before the younger brother finished eating, he took down a basket hanging under the eaves, dug out a bamboo tube thick as an adult's thigh and put it in, filled an empty jar with water, and tied the mouth of the jar with a rope for easy carrying. .When I went back to my room, I found my younger brother's old clothes, which were too old to wear because he was too young, and he folded them randomly and stuffed them into the basket.

When He He came out after washing the dishes, he found that his brother had prepared everything, checked the doors and windows, and closed them carefully, before the two brothers went to Ye Lin's house to meet up.

When I arrived at Ye Lin's house, I found that the Ye family's grandma was there, and I hadn't encountered it a few times before.

He Tian greeted obediently, and He He nodded accordingly.

Secretly practicing speaking by myself, but it is not something that can be done overnight, so the He family did not force him, but He He himself urgently wants to speak quickly, so that the situation of tongue sticking will pass sooner, otherwise many things will not work. Express, it hurts.

Li Ran, who is Ye Lin's Ah, also knows the situation of He Er's family, and he is full of sympathy for this little brother's experience, so the two of them are not dry in the friendship between the children.But usually everyone is busy, this is the first time we have had close contact.

Maybe it's because of illness, and I haven't raised it yet, so I'm thin and small, but my big eyes are quite agile, and my small face is serious, and I don't speak. It hasn't grown yet, and there is no flesh on the face when it is sick. It looks terrible.

He usually stays at home, but recently ran with his two boys into the mountains, saying that the situation is much better than before, and there may be a day to recover.

"Xiaotian Xiaohe is here, have you eaten yet? Why don't you come in and eat with Sensen." Li Ran hurriedly put down the weeds in his hands, stepped out of the vegetable field, and warmly greeted the two brothers to enter the house.

He Tian quickly refused, "Uncle, no need, we just came here after eating, don't worry about us, you can be busy."

"Hey, why are you being polite to your uncle? Come, come, let's go into the house." Li Ran couldn't help saying that he took He He's hand and led him into the house.

Helpless, He Tian had no choice but to keep up, asking, "Is Lin Zi there? Why didn't you see it?"

"It's here, it's in the backyard, and I'm messing around there after I wake up early in the morning after eating," Li Ran replied, but when he was about to go to the kitchen to pretend to eat, he was stopped, "Don't you really eat at Uncle's place?"

The two shook their heads, "We came only when we were full."

Li Ran stopped pressing, and took a few wild pears and stuffed them with them, "If you don't eat, you shouldn't refuse those wild fruits, right? Otherwise, uncle wouldn't dare to let you come to our house."

The two accepted it.

The food in the village is pretty much the same. Meat is eaten only a few times throughout the year, and you can count it with a slap. However, Ye Lin's family doesn't have much food, except for a lot of meat, which is eaten by various wild animals.

Although their family relies on hunting for income, and all the prey they catch has to be sold, but the adults will not starve their sons if they are hungry, so there is no shortage of meat on the table, so that the brothers of the Ye family can be raised. There is meat.

Take He Tian, ​​who is also ten years old, Ye Lin is half a head taller and stronger.Because He Tian often helps with work, his body is quite strong. If he can't eat good food, he will naturally have no meat.

Probably heard the voice in front, He Tian and the others had just sat down when Ye Lin appeared at the back door, with a manly face, and he didn't know what he was busy with.

Seeing the two of them, he nodded and went into his own room on the right to change clothes.

"Linzi's house is newly built, and the room is separated. This side belongs to their brother, behind Linzi, and in front of Dasen." He Tian explained with envy in his tone.

Having your own room is something most people would envy.

He He was very envious, for the small room, he had to work hard.
