Seed beans

Wu'er, who was leaning against Bian Chunhan's arms, bumped headfirst before Bian Bo approached.Bian Bo cried out with a "wow", and a bead of blood appeared on his lips.

"Mother, Brother Yao's mouth is bleeding!"

Before Bian Chunhan had time to take a look, Bian Changji was already yelling.

Liu Fang'e hurriedly put down the work she was doing, and hugged Bian Bo on the edge of the bed to coax her up.

"Mom." Bian Chunhan called out embarrassingly.

Bian Bo has a good temper, Liu Fang'e stopped crying after patting her a few times, and just pointed to her teeth-cracked lips, coquettishly calling Liu Fang'e to whimper.

Liu Fang'e didn't speak, Bian Chunhan hugged Tata Wu'er, who seemed to be aware of it, and looked at Liu Fang'e and Bian Bo vigilantly, feeling more and more ashamed.

"Come and show Dad." Bian Cunzhi patted the crumbs on his body, walked over and pinched Bian Bo, "Okay, it's all right, Dad will give you a hug, when the snow stops, Dad will sell it. Broom bought candy for our little one, come back sweet mouth."

Bian Bo was jolted up and down by Bian Cunzhi a few times, and then he smiled happily.

"Don't hit my little brother like this next time." Bian Chunhan smiled at Wu'er comfortingly.

The little guy stared at Bian Chunhan with his dark and cold eyes, thinking it was just a game, he yelled twice and plunged into Bian Chunhan's arms.

Bian Chunhan supported Xiaojiahu's limp arm, and the discomfort in his heart disappeared immediately, and he played the game of lifting high with Wu'er.

Bian Bo sat in Liu Fang'e's arms for less than 2 minutes, watching Bian Chunhan's bustle, he propped himself up to go to bed.

Burning a charcoal basin, Bian Cunzhi lifted the thick curtains made of old and unusable quilts every once in a while to let the air in the room.In this way, Bian Xiashi couldn't stand it, he just stayed on the charcoal basin and roasted peanuts all the time, his eyes were red from the smoke.

There was a sound in the yard, Liu Fang'e stopped the little ones who jumped up, and went out with Bian Cunzhi.

Soon, Bian Yuan entered the room with a whole body of wind and snow.

"Big brother, big brother!"

Starting with Bian Changji, the next few surrounded him, and even Bian Bo, who was still not walking steadily, screamed anxiously on the bed.

After selling the soybeans, Bian Yuan discussed with Bian Cunzhi, and first bought a box cart with the family's money.The carts for harvesting farm goods in the town come about once every ten days, one day earlier or one day later.Bian Yuan counted the days, and made two extra trips to the town every day, picking up whatever was in the fields and taking them there, seven or eight out of ten times he failed.Just these two or three times, the life at home is much wider than just counting on two harvests a year in the field.Bian Yuan always felt sorry for his younger brother, and every time he went to town, he would bring back some snacks regardless of whether they were sold or not.

"Brother, did someone else want it today?" Bian Jun asked while hugging Bian Bo with one hand.

In winter, Chinese cabbage is the most abundant in the field.With spare money in hand, talents come alive.In the past, Bian Cunzhi and his wife only cared about cultivating the fields, and the vegetable garden was just an extra field of potatoes, and the seeds were planted, and they would only take care of it when they had time, so that they could sell two or three times a season for half a season of soybeans in the remote areas. For the harvest, Bian Cunzhi evened out part of the fat from the ground, and completely fattened the vegetable garden. In addition to cabbage, there were also spinach, coriander, seaweed sprouts and garlic sprouts.There is nothing to do in winter, Bian Cunzhi and Liu Fang'e carefully selected the best vegetables in the field, washed and picked them clean, and tied them neatly with straw, even if the big trucks did not take them away, sometimes Could sell a few in town.

Bian Yuan lifted Bian Xiashi, who was screaming and jumping, on his shoulder, and deliberately teased his younger brothers with the plastic bag in his hand.

"Brother, give it to me, give it to me!"

Bian Xia was so anxious that he kicked his legs straight on Bian Yuan's shoulders and reached up with his upper body upright.

Bian Yuan couldn't hold it up with one hand, Bian Xiashi leaned back, and with a "dong" sound, his head hit the big box on the closet.

Liu Fang'e snatched him away in a hurry, hugged his head and looked straight at him.Bian Xiashi acted as if she didn't feel the pain, and kept staring at the bag in Bian Yuan's hand.

"You're greedy!" Bian Yuan also jumped, seeing that Bian Xia Shi didn't seem to be in trouble, so he made a funny joke, and shared the cotton candy he brought back with everyone.

"Today, the boss called and asked for as many old hens as there are."

After sharing snacks with the younger brothers, the noisy room quieted down, and Bian Yuan told Bian Cunzhi and his wife what happened in the town.

This time, Liu Fang'e took Bian Yuan, a nine-pound yellowtail that miraculously survived several times of chicken plague at home, to buy.Mountain villages like Lulin Village are actually very good at raising chickens. You only need to scatter some shriveled millet to lure the chickens back to the coop every night. The mountains are full of grass seeds and insects. A group of chickens will be full after digging outside for a day.It was not allowed to raise them before, but now there is still no one in the village who raises more than ten.Because this remote mountain village suffers from chicken plague every other year, no matter how carefully you take care of it, you can only watch the male and female fall down one after another, and you can't raise them at all.

Most people in the village have farmed and raised chickens for generations, but they have been helpless against chicken plague for thousands of years!

The days in the mountain village are simple and repetitive, and the time passes very quickly.In a blink of an eye, winter goes to spring, and it's the time when the cicadas sing again.At the foot of the mountain, the backyard of Bian's house was in chaos.

Big brother Bian Yuan sold the eels and lobster early today and brought back a letter.Bian Jun was admitted to a high school in the city. Although it wasn't the best one, it was still outmatched by the high schools in the towns. Every year, he recruited students from the city first before recruiting five to ten students in each town depending on the situation. student.Bian Cunzhi immediately made a decision to catch two chickens and kill them to celebrate.

At the end of last summer, when the family's two old hens were brooding, Liu Fang'e collected twenty eggs in full force.The idea is that if you can't raise it, it's a good idea for your family to eat a few meals on weekdays.

Last year, the boss outside asked for old hens that were born and raised in the mountains. Bian Yuan, under Bian Jun's suggestion and Bian Hu's instigation, bravely went around a dozen hills, and used most of the family's savings to pay for more than a dozen chickens for more than three years. The old hen was given away at the original price.The boss was satisfied with Bianyuan's practical work and honesty, so he paid an extra five yuan for hard work, and asked Bianyuan to help collect the mountain goods, which is another way for the family to make money.Bianyuan always only chooses the best ones, and collects them in the village according to the price set by the boss. There were a few bad-hearted people in the village who secretly said that Bianyuan had everything, and only a few of the most aggressive ones ran to the town in the dark. After a few trips, the village became quiet.

"Going over there, eighth brother, ninth brother, stop, stop!" Bian Hu was shirtless, his back gleaming from the sun, and he yelled at the top of his voice as he slammed behind a few lonely chickens.

Bian Feng responded, watched the rooster come to this side, and then jumped on it, the chicken feathers were flying all over the sky, and in a burst of high-pitched "clucking", the rooster still flew away.

"Oh!" Bian Ming patted his knees in frustration and panted.

The little brothers Bian Qiumao, Bian Xiashi and Bian Bo were very happy, and followed the adults slowly from one end of the yard to the other.

Everyone was in full swing, and Bian Chunhan stood behind Tata Wuer and Bian Bo like a pullet with outstretched arms and bent over.Tata Wu'er ran for two steps after joining in the fun, then turned to look for Bian Chunhan, turned around and rushed over.Bian Chunhan squatted down and picked him up, and asked, "What's wrong? Are you tired from running?"

Wu'er hugged Bian Chunhan tightly, and touched Bian Chunhan's face with her own cheek.

Just at this moment, Bian Bo stumbled on the uneven ground and gnawed a mouthful of mud.The nearest Bianhu picked him up and said repeatedly: "Spit, spit, spit out, spit out the mud."

Bian Chunhan hurried forward to help.

"Just toss about it, we don't even want to eat when it gets dark." Liu Fang'e cursed with a smile at the kitchen door.

"Haha, well, everyone, work harder." Bian Yuan laughed for a while before he stopped, calling everyone to surround a lone red-feathered rooster to complete the task.

Liu Fang'e's family is far away, and Bian's family has no blood relatives in the village, so the whole family eats in the yard at night.Bian Cunzhi deliberately went to drink two catties of bulk liquor. Even Liu Fang'e and Tata Wu'er were there, and the whole family poured a little.

"Our old Bian family has been a scholar since the generation of your grandparents. Your grandpa read books until he closed his eyes. It is good that we can reproduce the family tradition of our old Bian family when we come to you. It is the same sentence, as long as You know how to read it, and you old lady will give it to you even if you sell everything!" Bian Cunzhi, who didn't drink alcohol on weekdays, seemed to be drunk after a few sips, and said a few words upside down.

"Brother also means the same!" Bian Yuan held up the old bowl with a hole in it and echoed happily, "I heard people say that if you enter a high school in the city, as long as you are willing to study, you will have half a foot in a university. .Come on, mother, let's have a drink together!"

Although Liu Fang'e didn't say anything, the smile on her face that was always confiscated said everything, and she cooperatively raised the large light gray coarse porcelain bowl.

Bian Chunhan held his own cup in one hand, and held Wu'er's hand in the other to help him hold the small bowl steady.

There are a lot of people in the family, and there is a lack of everything, even a set of drinking cups, so I use the rice bowl to make ends meet.

"Ah, bah bah!"

Bian Bo and Wu'er stuck out their tongues together after dipping a little.

"Ah—mother!" Bian Bo supported Liu Fang'e aggrievedly on Bian Jun's body.

Liu Fang'e took the man over, picked a piece of potato from the large plate of fried chicken nuggets with potatoes, and stuffed it into his mouth, "Damn, you're greedy!"

Wu'er stuck out her tongue for a while before turning her head.Bian Chunhan glanced at Brother Yao, who was already smiling in Liu Fang'e's arms, reaching out for chicken legs, and lightly touched Wu'er's forehead with his mouth.

"Little Tata Wu'er is the most powerful, brother just give you soup to drink."

Two roosters that have been raised for almost a year, Liu Fang'e fried a pot with potatoes, and stewed a large pot of soup with half a large winter melon.

Babies are born in thousands of different ways, some cry loudly, some are quiet, some are docile, some are stubborn... Bian Chunhan didn't know when Wu'er was born, but now Wu'er, who is more than one year old, Bian Chun Han is very clear, he is more sensitive than other children, although Bian's family has never shown anything on the bright side, and even Bian Yuan, Bian Changji and other brothers are willing to join him when Bian Chunhan can't get him. Hands, but Wu'er hardly opened his mouth to ask for anything at the dinner table. Usually, Bian Yuan brought snacks back, and from the old Jiu Bian Qiu Mao to the next, they were arguing and making noise, which made Wu'er extraordinarily quiet.

Bian Chunhan carefully tested the temperature with his lips before feeding him. Wu'er took a small sip and smiled silently at Bian Chunhan.

Because of Bian Jun, the only high school student in ten miles and eight towns, the whole summer of Bian's family is full of laughter.

Even though it was hard to scrape together hundreds of dollars for the tuition of third brother Bian Jun, Bian Cunzhi insisted on selling more than half of the family's chickens for Bian Yuan and Bian Hu to give away together.

"Aside from other things, it's good to open your eyes." Bian Cunzhi carefully inspected several large bags of luggage and said.

The eldest brother is far away, and the fourth brother, Bianhu, is not suitable for studying. For people in the mountains, reading is basically the only way out of the farm.The young one still can't see that these two sons are what Bian Cunzhi cares most about right now.

"Crack!"

The farthest place Bian’s family has been to since childhood is the grain purchase station in the town. Liu Fang’e always feels at ease when she sees that the old bowls that are cracked in the cupboard are all fine and clean. Uneasy.
