Ye Jianqiu

The vibrant vegetable garden became full of sores in a blink of an eye, and some people's eyes were blackened by the glare of the sun.Ye Jianqiu's heart was as empty as those tree pits. He walked towards the only big tree in the vegetable garden that had not been poisoned, and lay down on a tree propped up between two branches. On a hammock, I closed my eyes and curled up there motionless.

Life, life, why do the endless problems keep pushing him in front of him like waves?

I am not a person who fights with steel and iron!Why can't you make me laugh more often?

Chao Ge felt puzzled, he thought that Ye Jianqiu would definitely quarrel with him, quarrel with him, and even fight with him, but he never expected that Ye Jianqiu would curl up there like an abandoned kitten.In this way, Ye Jianqiu made him feel at a loss. He would rather be cut by Ye Jianqiu than see him hurt like this.

Chaoge put down the big loofah in her arms that was thicker than her legs and came to the hammock, her eyes widened suddenly, and she squatted on the hammock with a look of surprise on her face.

Ye Jianqiu cried...

In Chaoge's heart, crying is a sign of the weak, he scoffed!He has captured wolves and caught thieves, seen hideous wounds and distorted corpses, bid farewell to his comrades and pierced through the chest of an enemy... but he never shed tears!

But why does this person in front of him cry so much... Does it make people feel blocked?On the surface, Chaoge looks like an old monk in meditation, but his heart is in chaos.

Ye Jianqiu curled up on the hammock into a small ball, closed his eyes, his face was serene, as gentle and peaceful as if he was asleep.Only crystal tears flowed quietly down the corners of the eyes, along the black hair on the sideburns, and into the ears. The dimples in the ears soon formed puddles, and then the tears flowed out from the overflowing ears, drop by drop. Wetting his collar with his neck...

Ye Jianqiu has been like this since he was a child, when he encounters sad things, he hides quietly, like a wounded little animal hiding in a remote corner to lick his wounds.This is different from the normal reaction of other children, my aunt is always worried, she would rather let Jianqiu cry out loud than see him bear it alone like this.

Chaoge wanted to reach out to wipe his tears, but that face was so quiet and holy that one couldn't bear to touch it. Chaoge couldn't help wiping his dirty hands on his pants vigorously.The other party's silent accusation made people panic and made Chaoge restless.

Chaoge scratched his head and said, "I brought those fruit trees to the farm... If you don't like it, I'll help you bring them back."

Ye Jianqiu was unmoved, tears still flowed quietly.

Chaoge picked up a big trampled flower from the ground and pinched it awkwardly in his hands, turning it around.

"I didn't destroy the vegetable garden, I was just collecting seeds... You see, I beat this loofah for a long time, and the black seeds startled me like a big beetle. I hollowed out a few pumpkins and split a few. Old gourd, picked some old beans, dug some potatoes..."

Seeing that Ye Jianqiu was still ignoring him, Chao Ge was impatient, threw the big rotten flower and explained loudly: "I know these are all your painstaking efforts, I can help you build the vegetable garden again... you You are also a man, how can you shed tears so easily?"

Facing the silent Ye Jianqiu, Chao Ge felt a little helpless. He squatted on the ground and thought for a long time, and then said: "Don't be angry, those hornet bees stung me! I burned them up. Never hurt anyone again!"

Under the big tree that was blown by the wind, Ye Jianqiu was lying peacefully, with a calm expression, soft brows and eyes, but the crystal clear tears on his face proved that this person was not really asleep.Chaoge squatted on the ground and peeked at the person lying motionless in the hammock from time to time. His upper body was covered with red spots from wasp stings, and his body was itchy. "Jumping hurts, fists tighten and loosen.

Can't hit, can't scold, what should I do?He has encountered a big problem.

Chao Ge felt that Ye Jianqiu was a silent mountain, and he was powerless to shake it.A little annoyed, Chaoge stood up "teng" and said, "Is it okay if I don't do this next time? Or, you hit me?"

Chao Ge took Ye Jianqiu's hand and slapped him hard a few times, but the opponent's hand was too soft, hitting him like a tickle.

Seeing that Ye Jianqiu's shoulders were about to be drenched with tears, Chao Ge was anxious and angry, turning around anxiously like ants on a hot pot.The ear-piercing chirping of cicadas in the distance made people flustered, the dizzy Chao Ge finally had nothing to do, lowered his head and said angrily: "I was wrong, I'm wrong..."

Ye Jianqiu raised his sleeves and wiped his eyes, then sat up with red eye circles.The advantage of his healing alone is that after waking up, his mind is very clear, and there is no trace of injury.

Chaoge let out a long sigh of relief, and sat down on the ground.He felt that he was tired all day and didn't have the effort to coax others!

"Aren't you angry anymore?"

"Can I kill you?"

"No."

"Then why ask?"

Chaoge was speechless.

"How many seeds did you collect?"

Hearing this, Chao Ge was immediately refreshed: "Ten bags! I've divided them into categories and packed them. I'll bring them to the farm tomorrow. It's very convenient for planting!"

"How do you deal with the fruits and vegetables?"

"The big ones were chopped up, and the small ones were divided. Keep half in the mansion, and take the other half to the office."

Looking at Ye Jianqiu, who was sitting downcast in the hammock, Chao Ge grinned involuntarily.I was crying tears just now, but now there will be nothing wrong with it, and it is actually very easy to coax.

There are many chickens scattered under this big tree, and they keep screaming around Ye Jianqiu, as if wolves have come to the house. These little cubs are complaining to the master one after another. On, cooing non-stop.

At this time, a golden bird flew from nowhere, with its bright red beak and amber eyes. The bird flew around and landed firmly on Ye Jianqiu's shoulder, bouncing and flapping. Wings, twittering and crisp chirping in his ears.

Ye Jianqiu casually took out the food from his pocket, crushed some pastry crumbs, put it in the palm of his hand and held it in front of the little bird to feed, the little yellow bird nodded its head to eat the food in his palm, Ye Jianqiu lovingly stroked its little head .

"There is no home, right? It doesn't matter, let's just build another one, it's better than this one, will it work?"

The little yellow bird raised its head and chirped a few times.

Chao Ge was surprised: "Why isn't it afraid of you? Could it be that you understand the language of birds and animals?"

Ye Jianqiu glanced at Chaoge sadly, Chaoge couldn't help but feel his heart tremble because of this look, and he took a step back.

"Yes, I understand the language of birds and animals, because I can understand what you are saying. Birds are not afraid of me because I never harm them. Even wasps have never sting me. Animals can distinguish between good people and good people." Bad guy!"

After a long time - Chao Ge finally realized it, and couldn't help snorting: "Ye Jianqiu, you are swearing!"

"What are you doing to me?"

"..."

"Go find a cucumber and smear the red envelope on your body, don't you know it hurts?"

Chao Ge hurried to find Cucumber, Ye Jianqiu shouted behind him: "Pull your pants up!"

After hearing the sound, Chaoge ran impatiently while pulling up his pants.Ye Jianqiu, who was sitting on the hammock, was very speechless. This Chaoge had developed too well, with flame-like body hair spreading down from his belly button, and he didn't know how to be careful!

--------------

The little cook disappeared again.

Cao Wu was like an eggplant beaten by frost, sitting there with his big head hanging down, motionless.

Granny Cao, who was playing cards, raised her eyelids and glanced at the eight screens inlaid with gold inlaid shells on the opposite side, and the radiant and colorful birds turned towards the phoenix. From the faint reflection, she saw that the fifth child was like a quail hit by a poisonous arrow. Drooping his head, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

I stopped picking my feet, picking my nostrils, and picking my teeth with a grin. I bathed in fragrant soup all day long, turned my wardrobe upside down, changed my clothes three times a day, borrowed jewelry from her, and never left my sachet. I just still love to eat that fat...

"I really like it?"

Mrs. Cao asked while dealing the cards.

Granny Cao's sudden utterance made Cao Wu bewildered: "Mother, are you always talking about me?"

"Ah."

Cao Wu lowered his head again: "The child is dying."

Cao Wu felt like a thirsty traveler trekking in the desert. He suddenly found a fresh fruit full of sugar water that was about to drip juice in the air, but he couldn't eat it no matter what. He felt that he was about to die. up.

The thoughtless conversation between the mother and the son made the three card players look at it curiously, but they all tactfully did not interrupt, and concentrated on playing cards.

Mrs. Cao sighed: "Give him [-]% of the shares under your mother's name."

Cao Wu raised his head in surprise, with tears in his eyes: "Mother!"

Mrs. Cao's property is the most in the Cao family, not only in several counties around Qingyang Town, but also in Mianzhou Prefecture, Kyoto Linyue. Just one achievement is enough to shake people's hearts, let alone [-]%?

"Try it!"

"mother!"

Cao Wu wiped away tears, he will always be a child in front of Granny Cao.

Mrs. Cao is very helpless. Apart from the advantage of being rich, the Cao family's sons are not outstanding in appearance, which is a disadvantage in terms of mutual affection.

Her six sons all look like Mrs. Cao... heroic and majestic, and the youngest two sons have exotic looks due to international economic and trade exchanges.

The honest Qian Zhuang got up and walked in front of Cao Wu, and silently put all the banknotes in his arms into Cao Wu's arms. Cao Wu gave him a surprised look, and Qian Zhuang, who walked like a hill moving, blushed He quietly sat back beside Mrs. Cao.He is also good for Cao Wu, so how can the mighty Cao Wu be so worried?People are getting thinner!After all, he is Cao Wu's elder...

Cao Wu lowered his head: "Mother, my boy knows what mother is doing, but he doesn't love money."

"That's not smashing enough."

Cao Wu scratched his ears in distress. He couldn't explain it too clearly to Mrs. Cao, so he said, "Mom, he really doesn't love money."

How could such an elegant lotus-like figure be polluted by these yellow and white things?Cao Wu was very worried that he just came to the world to walk around and have fun. If he got bored, would he just walk away like a ray of breeze?

Cao Wu felt a little fortunate in his heart, thankful that he had a unique vision, and also thankful that this person always covered himself tightly, like a lily blooming secretly in the corner of the valley, whose beauty has not yet been known.

Cao Wu held the bank note in his arms with a heavy heart, and slowly rolled it into a big paper ball.Qian Zhuang watched helplessly, with his mouth wide open to stop him, but he didn't dare to make a sound, and kept staring at the paper ball in pain.

"Mother, the child wants to rely on himself."

Cao Wu said, and put the big paper ball on the table.

Qian Zhuang carefully looked at Cao Wu's face, boldly stretched out his big hand, hooked a finger and quietly pushed the paper ball into his arms, and immediately ran to the Luohan couch under the window, and carefully put the paper ball into his arms. Unravel one by one.Carefully spread out the banknotes one by one, then dipped your fingers in saliva and trimmed the corners, and then sat on it!Qianzhuang's idea is very simple, he is heavier than a stone, just press it!

Mrs. Cao was happy with a "poof", and it was a good fortune for Qianzhuang to sit on the bank note.She fell in love with this silly Zhuangzi!She turned her head to look at the fifth child who was still frowning, and Mrs. Cao sighed secretly: "It's up to you, but you have to think carefully, this is not your business alone, it depends on fate."

"The boy knows."

Cao's family has money that is not far away, but Cao Wu is not interested.

It's not that he doesn't love money, but he prefers the money he earns, especially the money that the peddlers in the vegetable market give him with the smell of oil or sweat.

Some people don't understand why Cao Wu always clings to the market and doesn't let go. Only Cao Wu understands that he just likes it!

He was deeply attracted by a special smell in the foggy bazaar.People say that livestock stinks, but Cao Wu feels that the leather beast has a sweet smell of nuts, and those horses and cattle have an intoxicating fragrance of wild grass and wild flowers.There are also those fresh vegetables and fruits with wet mist, exuding a novel and unique earth fragrance and deep taste of the earth.

Especially in the food stalls in the market, how can the food made in those rough places under the wind and sand be so authentic?It's even better than the food cooked by Tingyuelou in Cao's house!Whether it's offal soup, mutton head meat, beef tendon or stewed in a big way, the fragrance is lingering, the aftertaste is endless, and the fragrance is long after finger-licking!Why don't some people try this pure flavor snack?

He likes to show up at the busiest time of the market every morning, watching those shrewd businessmen, peddlers who evade fees, buyers who are budget-conscious, and wild dogs running around in the market. Seeing his panicked expression, Cao Wu I'm always in a good mood at this time.

The people at the lowest level, like weeds struggling under the sand and rocks, were about to be dried up by the hot wind and the sun, but they survived tenaciously.They get up early and work late every day, carrying a small mountain of goods on their backs, and driving a cart on a sandy road for dozens of miles, just to earn some hard-earned money.

Cao Wu knew in his heart that these people were actually capable people, even the young sister-in-law Hong.A woman does not know a single character, and does not distinguish between left and right.Driving a leather beast and pulling a large cart, I have to run hundreds of miles to the countryside every day to collect people, all relying on my brain to remember.Which village entrance has a temple, which poplar tree should turn, which village entrance has a tea stall...

There is an old lady in her 70s in the market who sells hundreds of catties of cloth every day. Because there is a stupid son in the family who needs to raise an idiot grandson, this old lady just pushes the cart. She has no choice but to Can do it until it can't be pushed.

There was a deaf-mute peddler with crooked mouth and slanted eyes, his brain was not working well, and he was drooling "ahhh" when he spoke. He even supported himself by selling rat cages, and he has persisted until now.

There is also a blind old man who walks through the fog with a cane every day, huddled under the poplar tree and waits for someone to tell fortunes. He is cheerful all day long and seems to have no worries. To put it nicely, Guang Cai has the most people around him, and people always burst into laughter.The blind old man went to the stall to eat big dumplings after earning money. I heard that he even married a wife!

Someone has a successful business and has been in the market for many years and has become an old brand.There are also people who lost money in business and left quickly without leaving a name.Big waves wash the sand, wave after wave, there are always newcomers emerging in the market.

There are all kinds of life in the market, and you can have a panoramic view of the most real life.Cao Wu also felt pity, sympathy, bad face, and inhumanity in his heart. He believes that no one in this world needs to be pitiful, and everyone will choose the hardest way to overcome difficulties.

In the current market, vendors feel that the atmosphere is very harmonious.Because during this period of time, Cao Wu seemed to be a little more merciful, and he was no longer so fierce to people, and there were fewer chickens flying around in the market, which is really a great blessing.

No one knows that every evening when there is no one in the market, Cao Wu will come here quietly, pick up a big broom and clean everything here, he even bought a lot of large bluestone slabs Made a food stall, quietly waiting for a new round of hustle and bustle tomorrow.

He, Cao Wu, is the witness of this market.
