Seed beans

The Bian family started preparing for the New Year in a lively manner, but the famous military hospital in the provincial capital city was full of gloom.

The ECG monitors in several intensive care units made disturbing beeping sounds, and doctors and nurses flocked to a certain ward from time to time.

A few days later, two days before New Year's Eve, Bian Yuan got back an urgent letter from the town post office.

"It wasn't written by the second brother." Bian Yuan read the sender on the envelope, "Apologies from the Eighth Military Region."

Bian Ming raised his eyebrows, "There are only seven military regions in our country, where did the Eighth Military Region come from, isn't it a liar?"

The whole family looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Take it apart first." Cao Qingyi said.

Bian Yuan carefully tore open the seal, and two tickets fell out first, which were the train tickets from the city to the provincial capital tomorrow.

When Bian Yuan finished reading the letter, there was a dead silence in the room.

"It doesn't matter whether it's true or not, they even sent the train ticket, let's, let's go and see, your second brother hasn't had a good life in these years..." Bian Cunzhi couldn't continue.

The letter said that the second brother was seriously injured during the mission and was being treated in a certain military hospital in the provincial capital. He asked his family to take care of him and deal with some matters.

"This is for Chinese New Year!" Liu Fang'e's voice choked up.

"Boss, you go with your mother tomorrow, and bring the passbook that your second brother kept with you. When the time comes, no matter how much money you want, you will send an urgent letter home."

"Bring your ID card and our household registration book. If you want to really contact the army where the second brother is, you will definitely not be able to do it without a proof." Cao Qingyi reminded.

Because of this incident, Bian Cunzhi went to Liu Fang'e's natal family and told the incident.

"Sister-in-law, we're fine, you go and have a rest."

Bian Bo, who was smaller, led Bian Bowen and pushed Cao Qingyi out of the kitchen.

Holding a spatula in his hand, Bian Chunhan skillfully fried a few dishes, and asked Bian Wu to bring them to the dining room converted from the old hall.

Two days ago, Bian Changji, who went to the post office in the town every day, finally brought back a letter from the remote area.

Bian Hao lay in the intensive care unit for ten days and was notified three times that he was critically ill, but now he has been transferred to the general ward.

Bian Cunzhi felt that his sons only came back once or twice a year, so they shouldn't have such a dull life.

Bian Ming opened the steamer next to him, picked up the steaming fish, ribs, and chicken nuggets, put them upside down on a plate, and brought them over with a roar.

Bian Cunzhi also brought out a large steamed meat basket on the bottom layer.

Bian Jun opened a drink, and after clinking a glass together, they didn't need chairs, they were all a family, walking around the table and eating what they wanted.

Bian Bowen was short and short, screaming anxiously.

Bian Cunzhi simply picked him up.

"Father, you eat first and leave him alone." Cao Qingyi persuaded.

"It's okay, you guys eat first, and I will replace you when you finish eating."

Bian Chunhan was going to speed up.

Bian Wu pressed Bian Chunhan's chopsticks with his chopsticks, "Come on, baby, come down, little uncle will get you a special table."

He picked up a few dishes that children could eat, put them in individual bowls and plates, and placed them on two chairs, next to the big table at his request.

"Father, let's all go see Second Brother too." Bian Ming said suddenly.

Before Bian Cunzhi could respond, several younger ones were already vying to say they would go.

"Father, let's go. I have to start school. Third brother has to transfer from the provincial capital to go to Kyoto." Bian Ming continued to persuade.

"Second brother must also want to see dad and us." Bian Bo said loudly.

"You know what, your second brother wasn't home when you were born." Bian Cunzhi laughed.

"Father, you go, I'm at home with Bowen." Cao Qingyi made a small bowl of fish soup for Bian Bowen and said.

Throughout the year, these two months are the most idle time in the field, but there are still more than a dozen chickens at home that need to be watched.

After Cao Qingyi came to Bian's house and gradually became sober, she seldom went out, let alone the city, not even going to Zhenshan, and never chatting with villagers at the intersection.

"Father, I won't go with Sixth Brother. You take the little monkey with you and let him have a look. Sixth Brother is seriously motion sick, so don't suffer. Sixth Brother and I are at home, and my sister-in-law will also take care of me." Master Bian Wu Generally speaking.

From old to young, the Bian family has always had a temperament of moving as they say, so they moved immediately, each packed two changes of underwear, and packed more than half of the colorful clothes Liu Fang'e made in the twelfth lunar month. Chicken packed.

Except for Bian Wu who went to the city with Bian Jun and Bian Chunhan, Bian Changji never went out, leading the little monkey excitedly running around the house and the alarm clock rang at 03:30 the next morning.

Bian Cunzhi wanted to take the [-]:[-] am bus from the town to the city, and catch the [-]:[-] pm train to the provincial capital.

Bian Chunhan struggled a bit, sat up with Bian Jun, and woke up a few brothers who were too excited to wake up the alarm clock, and went to work in the kitchen without washing his face.

"Hurry up, hurry up, or you won't be able to catch the bus!" Bian Cunzhi stood at the door of the two big rooms, urging him one after another.

"Father, the car doesn't arrive at seven o'clock, so we can run for two hours." Bian Ming said sleepily while wearing his clothes.

"Brother cooked noodles for you guys, get up and eat, maybe you won't have a proper meal for a whole day when you go out." Bian Wu lifted the quilt, "You have to shit once every morning, there is no toilet on the way in the car, youngest! "

"You are the youngest..." Bian Bo replied in a daze, and finally sat up.

Cao Qingyi led Bian Bowen, who had a flat mouth, out.

Bian Cunzhi hung up the towel and picked him up, "What's wrong with our grandson? We're going to take the train, why are you upset?"

Bian Bowen sobbed, lay on Bian Cunzhi's shoulder, and soon fell asleep again.

Bian Chunhan finished serving up the noodles, and Cao Qingyi greeted Bian Cunzhi to get Bian Bowen to eat.

"Forget it, sister-in-law, let's go to the town to buy some food for the little monkey later." Bian Jun said in a low voice.

"Don't get used to him too much, boys should suffer a bit." Cao Qingyi said in his mouth, but he was not willing to force him away from Bian Cunzhi.

Fortunately, there were very few people who went out on the fifth day of the first lunar month, and only nine people from the Bian family, big and small, got into the car smoothly.

When the car was out of sight, Bian Wu stretched his waist, lazing on Bian Chunhan as if his bones had been pulled away.

"Boy, are you sleepy? I told you that you don't need to get up early together. Let's go to the village and you can sleep."

Bian Cunzhi told Bian Chunhan to visit the houses in the village when he came, and tidy up the vegetable garden a little bit.

Bian Wu shook his head and grinned silently.

After the two got older, Bian Yuan said a few times, Bian Wu became vigilant inexplicably, tried to restrain himself in front of everyone, and refrained from making too intimate gestures.This time Bian Chunhan went out for half a year, and when he came back, he was very tolerant towards Bian Wu, basically doing whatever he wanted in private.

Ice crystals were still hanging on several winter vegetables in the field, so Bian Chunhan shoveled some fat coriander and spinach and carried them back to the mountain.

There are only three people in the family. Cao Qingyi knits sweaters and trousers for everyone in the family all day long. When she gets tired, she gets up and goes to the vegetable garden to fiddle with it a few times. talk.

Bian Wu took Bian Chunhan and the two hid in the room to read their homework.

"Brother, look."

A voice came from his ear, Bian Chunhan turned his head, and felt a soft touch on his lips.

Bian Wu paused for a moment, then moved away as if nothing had happened, "Here, teach me to read it again, I always feel that my pronunciation is not correct."

It took Bian Chunhan a while to realize it, but he looked at Bian Wu a few times as if he was not careful, and then read to Bian Wu a few times as if nothing happened, and even explained how to pronounce it in detail.

Bian Wu sniffed the fish, and answered twice absent-mindedly.

"Is the child tired? Let's go out to play for a while, go to the pond to pick some fish and stew fish soup for dinner?" Bian Chunhan looked at the alarm clock and asked.

Bian Wu responded immediately, and the two of them put their shoulders together to say hello to Cao Qingyi who was sitting in the living room, and walked across the vegetable garden with a smile.

After a while, two people shouted happily.

A thin layer of ice formed in the pool, which could not bear people walking on it.Bian Wu found two wide planks to put on them, went up to try it, and walked steadily to the edge of the fishing net.

Bian Cunzhi himself wove bamboo slices and grass stalks into a large cage with an open top, and put it in the pool. Before the Chinese New Year, he fished a lot of larger fish and stored it in it, so it would be easier to fish out.

"Brother, come here too." Bian Wu greeted while grabbing the fishing net.

Bian Chunhan picked up a stone with a sharp edge, stood on it carefully and tried it, slowly leaned over, stretched his arms and smashed a hole the size of two fists in the ice, and soon saw the stone inside. The fish that were squeezed did not jump out by themselves as the book said, and a fish showed its head from time to time.Bian Chunhan and Bian Wu took turns to catch several times but failed.

"Brother, it won't work, I'm freezing to death, I'll go get the fishing rod!" Bian Wu yelled, shaking his hands.

"Slow down, slow down." Bian Chunhan also put his hands to his mouth and let out a breath.

"Squeak."

There was a clear cracking sound underfoot.

The two hurriedly yelled and got down on the ground. Bian Chunhan slipped his hand and pressed it on the ice. A small amount of water covered it, and he screamed "Aww" from the cold.

Cao Qingyi came out of the house, dumbfounded, and picked up another piece of wood and handed it over, and the two climbed onto the shore twisting and twisting.

"Don't say goodbye next time, we don't freeze well here, it's too dangerous." Cao Qingyi poured a basin of hot water for the two of them to wash their hands and wipe their faces.

Bian Chunhan obediently agreed, followed by Bian Wu to find a fishing rod, rummaged through bricks in front of and behind the house to find two earthworms, and made holes on the edge of the pool to fish.

"Brother, no, the edge is too shallow, and the fish won't come over." Bian Wu was blown by the cold wind and his nose was running, so he picked up the planks again, changed the direction, laid three planks and walked over.

"Don't, baby, falling down is no joke." Bian Chunhan yelled from the bank, but she didn't dare to go up, fearing that she wouldn't be able to withstand the two of them.

In the fishing net, Wu quickly caught several palm-sized crucian carp and put them in small buckets.

"That's enough, baby, come up quickly." Bian Chunhan jumped impatiently.

Bian Wu smiled triumphantly, "Brother, come and pick me up!"
