Seed beans

"What's going on? Whose child..."

"My, mine, you are not allowed to give it to others..."

Amidst repeated inquiries, Bian Chunhan's vision became more and more blurred, his throat seemed to be on fire, and his heart throbbed with pain. He staggered two steps towards the door, and hit the door with a "boom". On the threshold, he fell softly backwards.

Wu'er, who was securely protected in her arms, thought she was doing something amusing, stopped crying, and turned her tender neck curiously.

"Six children!"

"Sixth brother!"

After a period of chaos, the four big men had no choice but to carry Bian Chunhan, who was unconscious and still tightly hugging each other, together with the baby in his arms, to lie down on the "bed" made up of two armchairs, and poured another bottle of water. The hot water in the jar went down, and he pinched the person a few times before waking him up.

"Comrade Ren and the police don't believe that he picked it up, and turned around to persuade us not to be superstitious, saying that it is normal for a baby to have a birthmark on his face, what are you talking about..."

Bian Cunzhi stood at the door, beating hard on the bean stubble that he carried back last night, and talking about what happened in the morning at the top of his voice, like the neighbor who packed up the soybeans next door.

Neighbor Luo Laosi just yelled, and didn't even respond to the words, fearing that it would touch his own body.

Bian Chunhan ran for a long time and was so hard that he couldn't raise any strength in his body. After asking his father and elder brother to take turns to carry it back, he even ate lunch half lying on the bed.

In the evening, Bian Cunzhi whipped Bian Chunhan several times with a tree branch, and he took turns persuading and reprimanding Liu Fang'e and Bian Yuan. The three discussed together for a while.

Liu Fang'e saw that there was not a piece of unpatched clothes on the little ones, and said cruelly, "Then put it on the side of the road. Whoever wants to pick it up."

Bian Chunhan held Wu'er with one hand, pushed the tub out, and silently poured hot water to bathe the little guy.

The adults are in a bad mood, and the atmosphere at home is also dull. The people who are always noisy on weekdays all curl up their tails and lie obediently in the bed.

"Sixth Brother, what are you going to do?" Bian Changji asked in a low voice.

Bian Chunhan lightly touched the red marks on his arm, and just hugged Wu'er, whose eyelids had fallen off, without making a sound.

Early the next morning, Bian Chunhan packed his cloth bag and went to school on his own initiative.Bian Cunzhi and Liu Fang'e only thought that he had already figured it out, and they were busy in the field for a while. When the big guys had all left the field and walked dozens of miles, they put Wu'er in a basket on the road leading to the town. big roadside.

It is said that it is a big road, but it is slightly wider and flatter than the mountain path. If it is not for the holidays, few people will pass by.

As soon as Bian Cunzhi disappeared at the corner, the bushes on the side of the road moved.Bian Chunhan got out with some thatch on his back, and carefully carried Wu'er out of the basket.

The little guy brought his mouth close to Bian Chunhan's chest, arching it indiscriminately.

"Little darling, brother will get you something to eat right away."

Bian Chunhan took out the steamed corn bread mixed with cornmeal that he brought in the morning, took a small bite, and after carefully crushing it, moistened it in his mouth for a while, and then slipped it into Wu'er's mouth.

The little guy's pink lips squirmed immediately, and after swallowing, he yelled "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The school is far away from home, so I ran back to eat at noon, I was afraid that I would not wait until school, and a little of my stomach would be returned to the land.When it was good, Bian Chunhan only had a corned headband like today. In the future, it is estimated that it will mostly be boiled or baked potatoes, and it will only be available after the land was allocated this year.In the past, when Bianjun and the others went to school, most of the time they could only starve.

Bian Chunhan smacked his lips, swallowed the involuntary saliva, carefully put away the rest of the buns, and trotted to school with Wu'er in his arms.

There are not many students in the school, but it is indeed composed of five-year-old students, but the whole school is connected with the teacher's dormitory. There are only four rooms in total. The principal and the teacher simply work in the classroom, except that the fifth grade is a separate classroom. The children, big and small, are mixed together. The situation in the mountains is special, and the teachers are very talkative. Some of them really can’t separate themselves and want to take care of their younger siblings. As long as they don’t make noise in the classroom, the teacher even helps find a chair for them. Sit crowded.It's just that it's rare for Bian Chunhan to bring someone in his arms.

Someone from the same village jumped up and shouted: "Teacher, teacher, I know, his family has eleven sons!"

It was like a few drops of water dripping into the oil pan, and the teacher used this as an introduction to explode the pot, and a few mischievous ones even climbed onto the dilapidated windows.

In places where there are no kindergartens, first-grade children don't even expect to be able to attend classes. Some of them don't know what to do in class after most of the semester.

The first and third graders are taught by an old teacher who is over 50 years old. Seeing the third grader who was honestly doing homework next to him, he is also ready to move. He knocked on the table several times with a pointer, and sternly told those who climbed the window to stand in front of the blackboard. After being punished to stand, he said to Bian Chunhan, "Go back and tell your parents, don't bring your little brother to the classroom next time."

Bian Chunhan squirmed for a long time, "Mine, parents don't care."

Teacher Luo frowned hard, "Are you here to go to school, or are you bringing a baby? Stand outside and think about it before you come in."

Bian Chunhan went to school the next day, didn't go to school for half a day in the morning, and stood outside the classroom for half a day in the afternoon except to pee for Wu'er.

"Where is your sixth brother?" Liu Fang'e felt uncomfortable all day, and asked Bian Chunhan first when she came back at night.

"I haven't come back yet!" Bian Changji ate wild grapes, his mouth was covered with black and purple, and he plucked them from the vines and fed them to his mouth.

This season is the time when the wild fruits on the mountain are the most, but the places that are easy to catch have already been snatched up by the boys.Bian Cunzhi saw this wild grape a few days ago, and today he brought a hoe to pick it off a high cliff and brought it back.

"Bian Hu, you wash it for your younger brothers before eating, and leave some for your sixth brother, do you understand!" Liu Fang'e had to coax the two little ones and cook again, so she hurriedly explained something, and entered with a stomach full of restlessness. out of the kitchen, "Boss, you go outside to pick them up."

"Hey." Bian Yuan wiped the water from his face and strode out of the yard.

Bian Chunhan flattened the collected waste paper one by one, folded them neatly and put them in the basket.Bian Jun, who is already in the third year of junior high school this year, once said when he came back that waste paper and iron beverage bottles can be sold for money in the town.Last night, Bian Chunhan actually heard what Bian Cunzhi said. Although he was still young, he didn't know what it really meant to raise a child, but he had already understood it in his bewilderment.

Both Bian Cunzhi and Liu Fang'e were honest farmers. Although they couldn't help it, they couldn't get over the fact that they left their child by the side of the road. They couldn't help feeling guilty.

Therefore, when Bian Yuan led Bian Chunhan, who was wandering around not far from the door with Wu'er in his arms, to enter the door, the tree stick and scolding that Bian Chunhan was worried about did not appear.

Bian Chunhan called someone tremblingly, "Father, mother."

"eat first."

After the meal, Bian Chunhan took a small bunch of black wild grapes that Bian Hu had snatched, washed them clean, bit them one by one and let Wu Er suck them a few times before throwing them into his own mouth. Voice.

The taste of wild grapes is quite good, but one grain is only half the size of a fingernail, and there are still several seeds in it, so it can only suck a little juice at all, sweet to the mouth.

Liu Fang'e cleaned up the dishes and told Bian Cunzhi and Bian Yuan about Tata Wu'er in the kitchen.

"Father, mother, elder brother." Bian Chunhan put his arms around the little guy and touched him in, "I will take good care of my son, I have taken care of my ninth brother and tenth brother, I will take care of it, really, I don't need to spend food at home, real."

"Sixth child, don't be stubborn, parents are trying to find a way."

Having said that, the kitchen fell into silence.

"What kind of brains do you think you were born with? It's not like there are no brothers in the family. I told you to pick up someone else and throw it back." Liu Fang'e nodded Bian Chunhan's head and said.

The police station couldn't do it anymore. People thought that Bian Cunzhi had given birth to his own child and didn't want to raise it.If you want to find a family who is willing to raise, there is no family planning these days, which family does not have several children...

Bian Chunhan didn't resist, but turned his body sideways, but his body clearly released the message of confrontation.

Bian Changji poked his head at the door, then quickly shrank back.

"Old Qi, if you want to come in, come in, don't poke around, you're not a thief." Bian Yuan shouted.

Bian Changji came in muttering.

"It's not fair. The sixth brother thinks it's unfair, so he feels wronged. The fourth brother can raise mynahs, and the fifth brother raises rabbits. Dad also said that as long as he doesn't waste the family's food, he can raise them... I also think it's unfair. Obviously it is The sixth brother picked it up, why can't I raise it..." Bian Changji opened his mouth to make a big list, and while talking, he snapped his fingers and said seven or eight things, not at all like other children in the village who have not yet gone to school. I only know how to yell.

Bian Cunzhi couldn't laugh or cry, he raised the same children in the same way, somehow he got such a mother-in-law's son.

"Okay, Liu'er, if you want to raise you, you have to raise it first, but your father and I are ugly. This is not a mynah or a rabbit. When your father thinks it can't be done, you will send it to him honestly. The police station in the town made it clear, did you hear me?"

"Yeah." Bian Chunhan nodded vigorously, and grinned innocently.

Bian Cunzhi said: "Go to sleep, you are not allowed to run out of school again tomorrow."

Bian Chunhan dragged his ill-fitting cloth shoes, and "clacked" out of the kitchen.

"His father." Liu Fang'e called out.

"Do you still remember the eldest daughter of Luosun's five families?" Bian Cunzhi asked while biting a rice stalk.

The eldest daughter of Luosun's five families was hanged last year, and Liu Fang'e bought a knife of toilet paper to burn.When the big girl mentioned it, everyone would give a thumbs up. Farming can be enough for a man of maturity. She helps to clean up the younger brothers and sisters in the family. Apart from working hard, she doesn't say a word, parents said It is what it is, but when I talked about kissing the year before last, I didn't know which muscle was twisted...
