Seed beans

"Changji, take these out."

Bian Cunzhi sat under the shade of a tree by the yard, picked out the smaller lobsters, and put them back into the pond at the foot of the mountain except for a plate for his own food.

Lobsters are highly reproductive, and they can be found in any ditch.There are also many lobster farmers in the mountains, and the two families in the town are more and more picky about what they collect. They don't want the smaller ones, the ones with missing claws, or the ones that look too dirty, and the prices are kept low.It's not easy to go to the town from Lulin Village, so only those of the Bian family who are having a hard time go to the town without getting tired of it.

The pond under the mountain in Bianjia was originally just a slightly lower land. Last year, there was enough rain, and the water was collected for a year without drying up.Bian Yuan and Bian Cunzhi simply dug a pond with a shovel today and another shovel tomorrow.The little ones are in trouble, no matter what they catch in the wild, as long as it is in the water, they will be put in it.

"Six children?"

Bian Hu and Bian Ming led Bian Qiumao to hunt birds in the woods ahead, looking for wild fruits by the way.Bian Feng caught a gray fly the size of half a finger somewhere, tied it to a thin rope and sat on the threshold to play with it for a long time.It has been a long time since the two youngest followed Liu Fang'e.Bian Chunhan was either holding or carrying Wu'er.

"Here's a big one, brother!"

Bian Chunhan used a small shovel with a missing corner to carefully search for pinellia in the dug out soil, and Wu'er called out not far away.

If there are too many lobsters and eels, they are worthless, and you can't sell them for a little money just by picking up a few balls of waste paper at school.Bian Wu has been raised by Bian's family for three or four years. At first, Bian Cunzhi and Bianyuan just wanted to teach Bian Chunhan a lesson, but now he treats Bian Chunhan as his own child and raises him however he wants, only Bian Chunhan is stubborn, Just like the mynah of the fourth brother, the white rabbit of the fifth brother, and the cuckoo of the seventh brother, think of ways to give more to Bian Wu.Throughout the year, whenever I have free time, I try to find ways to make money. Looking for wild mushrooms in spring is the best, and summer is the best. Some harvest big locusts, some cicada sloughs, and pinellia... In autumn harvest, you can pick up missed corn and soybeans.

"Good Wuer, my brother will be there right away. Tomorrow, let's go to the town together and sell the money to buy a thick book for the boy."

Two months ago, the old village head led a small policeman from the town to check the population of each household, and registered the name, date of birth, etc. with a self-made form, and said that a household registration book was required.Wu'er had no choice but to change his name to Bian Wudeng in Bian's house. Because he didn't know the exact date of birth, the old village chief randomly remembered that he was four years old.

Wu'er has never been able to speak, so she followed Bian Chunhan in the classroom and studied for two years.Bian Chunhan started counting the change he had saved early, and wanted to enroll Wu'er earlier, both of them were in school, so it is better to enroll earlier, so that he can pass the exam earlier in the future.

"I just saw him carrying a cloth bag into the woods." Bian Cunzhi stood up and patted the dregs on his legs and replied.

Liu Fang'e rubbed her hands on her clothes anxiously, "What are you going to do again! If the clothes are torn again at night, see if I don't tear their skins off one by one."

"Okay, don't worry, the eldest is in his twenties, and the fourth son is a cunning guy since he was a child. Our third son is so powerful, and the third one can be sold." Carefully pour the carefully picked lobsters into a large wooden basin.

After decades of husband and wife, Bian Cunzhi can tell what Liu Fang'e is thinking after looking carefully.

Liu Fang'e thought about it carefully, thankfully she was able to calm down and do some work.

Bian Yuan led his two younger brothers to the town with several big bags.

Yuan Shuiquan began to shout from a long distance: "Hurry up, hurry up, the car is here, the car is here!"

There is no station in Huji Town, and the bus to the city runs twice a day. It is at the intersection in the center of the town, and it is full every day.

When the car arrived in Huji Town, even the aisle in the middle of the car was full of people, and the luggage storage space under the car was also blocked by large bags.Bian Jun's three big bags were pushed onto the car with great difficulty, piled up to the roof of the car.The Bianyuan brothers had no choice but to stand carefully beside the luggage, supporting them all the way, and they didn't even bother to eat the cornbread they brought. Yuan Shuiquan got off the car halfway and bought a pack of biscuits, and forced to feed them.

The car swayed and stopped all the way, and there was a long queue at the ferry.

"Third, fourth, Koizumi, you three go down and take a walk, I'll just watch the luggage here."

There is a river to cross from the town to the city. There is no plan to build a bridge on the river, and all travel is by ferry.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go out first to take a breath, and come back later to change to the elder brother." Yuan Shuiquan forced the two out of the car.

As soon as he got out of the crowded car, a wet wind with a fishy smell blew towards him.Bian Jun took a few steps to the side in a daze, and bumped into a middle-aged woman carrying two big snakeskin bags.

The man yelled as if he had been stabbed, and hurriedly gathered his things in front of him, "What are you doing, what are you doing!"

Bian Jun took a step back and waved his hands again and again.

"Stay away from me, I can tell you that no one grows up as a vegetarian, don't hang around my old lady..." As he spoke, the man kept looking around, holding things tighter and tighter.

"Wipe, didn't you just touch it, and it was endless."

Bian Jun pulled the angry Yuan Shuiquan back to a slightly spacious place not far away, and whispered: "Forget it, you pay attention to your bag, there are many thieves out there like her, we all have to be careful."

Yuan Shuiquan failed to enter the high school in the city by three points. His father came back from outside and somehow managed to squeeze him in. He also got a promise that he would be assigned to the "Olympiad Class". He hurried out the door again.When Yuan Shuiquan was young, he traveled with his grandparents every year, and when he was older, he went to find his parents by himself.This time he went to school, his father left him a sum of money, and he didn't even bother to explain a few more words.He was also free and easy, so he brought two sets of clothes for a change of clothes, and prepared to go to the city to buy the rest.

"I'll just say it!" Yuan Shuiquan stomped his feet triumphantly, "We are old fried dough sticks, and we can still be touched by three hands!"

Except for a little change that he took with him when he went out, he stuffed other big-value items into his shoes.

Bian Jun frowned, he didn't feel in the mood to appreciate the scenery, so he hurried into the car again.

"Don't be afraid of the front and the back, don't they all have two eyes and one mouth." Yuan Shuiquan put his arm around Bian Jun's shoulder and said nonchalantly, making up his mind not to reveal to anyone the first time he traveled alone At that time, the golden peas were dropped.

The people in the car who couldn't move their luggage didn't move. Even with all the windows open, there was an unpleasant smell.

Bian Hu usually has a lot of lively people, but today he died half of his life as soon as he got in the car, and he was very motion sick.Now ask Bian Jun to drag him into the car.

"What's the matter, are you back now?"

Bian Jun whispered a few words into Bian Yuan's ear, and Bian Yuan immediately carried the hard little cloth bag nervously on his chest.

After a while at noon, the car shook until almost six o'clock in the evening before arriving in the city.At this moment, the teacher reported by the school had left work early.

There was a simple waiting room at the bus station. There were only less than ten broken chairs in it. Many people wrapped their clothes and hugged their things and huddled on the ground.

It would be impossible without Yuan Shuiquan, and he died as soon as he got off the car. The three brothers of Rabian's family found a guest house and opened a small private room.

"I still have to turn it on when I sleep alone, so don't say anything, big brother. I'll bother you two to help me do the shopping together tomorrow. Let's take a good bath and sleep well today."

When the three brothers were stumbling outside to resettle, Lulin Village also fell into silence.

After Bian Cunzhi and Liu Fang'e put the two little ones to sleep, they leaned against the head of the bed and talked in a low voice.

"Fortunately, the sixth child went to school two years late, otherwise we wouldn't be able to bear it now." Liu Fang'e locked the small money box in the bedside table and sighed.

This year, Bian Jun went to the city and took away almost all the savings of the family for several years, and enrolled Lao Qi and Lao Ba in elementary school, but he had to buy a bag of salt on credit first.

"Tomorrow I will drag a bag of rice to buy it. Let's eat enough to make ends meet this month, and the new millet will be harvested." Bian Cunzhi said after thinking about it.

The Bian family had few paddy fields, and the rice they harvested was not enough to eat, so they had to mix some other things into their staple food.There is still about a month left to harvest the grain, and that bag of grain is the last in the family.

"It doesn't matter to us, how can we eat a few smaller ones like this?"
