Deep in the bamboo forest is my home

When the father and son returned to the small courtyard of He's house, the moon had already poked its head out. Yang Yan'er blamed Boss He for coming back late, and boiled water for the father and son to take a bath.In autumn, the air is cool, and it is easy to catch a cold if you take a bath directly with well water.It is a big deal for ordinary people to get sick, and the whole family of the He family can't afford to be sick.

After the father and son finished washing, Yang Yan'er hurriedly drove Xiao Zhu and Xiao Hu back to the room. Xiao Zhu had worked all day and didn't need to be rushed, so she wanted to fall on the bed and refused to move. The next day, he asked his elder brother to take him to the field to play.

Yang Yan'er bent her index finger and tapped Xiaohu's forehead, "Who said going to the fields is just for fun. Stay at home tomorrow to help Ah Mo take care of Xiaohua'er, and you are not allowed to go anywhere."

Xiaohu was immediately discouraged, and muttered, "Ah, that's bad, I just promised me tonight and let me play."

Yang Yan'er quickly peeled off Xiaohu's coat and stuffed it into the thin quilt, "Don't bother to play, other boys are as old as you, and they all know how to go to the fields to help with work."

"Ah, Xiaohu is still young, I am stronger than Xiaohu, I will go to the fields to help Dad." The honest Xiao Zhu pleaded for the younger brother.

"Go to sleep and talk again, so I will spank your buttocks." As she spoke, Yang Yan'er lightly spanked Xiaohu's buttocks through the thin quilt.

Xiaohu quickly covered his little butt, "It hurts, huh, it hurts."

Brat, how painful is it to lightly touch, Yang Yan'er knew how strong she was, she gave Xiaohu a look, helped Xiao Zhu to press the quilt, and told the two not to throw the quilt in the middle of the night before turning back to her and Boss He's room.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw that Boss He was holding the handkerchief he had just painted, looked left and right, and hurried forward to grab it.

Boss He chuckled, "Here, for me? The material is good, just keep it and make clothes yourself."

Yang Yan'er blushed instantly, caught a glimpse of Xiao Hua'er opening her eyes, staring at herself and Boss He without blinking, and hurriedly turned her back, "It's not for you."

"Ah?" Boss He was taken aback, "Then, it's for Xiao Hua'er?"

"None, I sent it to my sister-in-law's house after I was ready to embroider it." Yang Yan'er glared at Boss He angrily, moved over the chair, and embroidered stitch by stitch under the moonlight.

"Sister-in-law?" Boss He was even more puzzled, "Is sister-in-law a famous embroiderer in the county? Why do you want you to embroider for him?"

"I want to show it to my sister-in-law. If it feels good, I can do some embroidery work in the city."

"The family's expenses are tight, I know, but you don't need to do this." Boss He sat down by the bed, picked up He Xiaohua, and teased his own little flower sullenly.

"It's okay now. I'm afraid it won't be enough when the spring comes. I also want to add new clothes to Xiaohu and Xiaozhu. The two boys are growing fast. The clothes made in the spring this year are quite short, and they are uncomfortable to wear. Better." The fabrics are not cheap, and there are only two quilts in the house, and the two kids are grown up, so I’m afraid it’s not enough to use one small quilt.”

"I farm to make money, so don't do embroidery, it hurts your eyes."

He Xiaohua was made very uncomfortable by Boss He's teasing. Boss He went to work in the field with great strength, holding Xiaohua's little hand tightly, and pinching it harder and harder.He Xiaohua looked up, trying to signal Boss He to let go, but found Boss He's eyes were red.

"I plan to open two more plots of land in the spring. Just a little bit above our land, we can plant Shaowei vegetables for two years, and we can grow yellow field rice in the third year. If we don't sell them, our family will eat them. The small pillars are big, and we can eat them." If you can help me, Xiaohu can also help pick up rice. In two years, when the family has money, I will send Xiaozhu and Xiaohu to study."

Yang Yan'er stopped her embroidery work, "In spring, Xiaozhu will be nine years old, and in two years he will be eleven. I heard people say that you should study early, and the age of eight or nine is the best. After studying for two years, go to the county to take the exam. If you pass the test, you can continue to study, and if you fail, you can stay in the county, find some connections, and become an apprentice. When you get older, if you fail the test, it will be too late to become an apprentice again."

"Okay! I'll send Xiao Zhu to a private school in Baisha Village in the spring."

From He Xiaohua's point of view, Boss He is stiff-necked now, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

Yang Yan'er shook her head, didn't talk to her, she lowered her head and continued to embroider.

The room was stuffy for a while, until He Xiaohua started yawning, looking around with her small eyes, struggling to climb back to her little bed with her little hands and feet.Boss He said sullenly, "Don't do it, I won't let you do it. I'm the god of the family, I'll do the money-making work."

Yang Yan'er by the window clapped her hands, "I know you are the god of the family, this family can't live without you, if you are exhausted, let us..." Yang Yan'er half covered her mouth, unable to continue, "It's just eyes, If I get the attention of the nobles in the city, I can still make some money from this embroidery work. Since Xiao Hua was born, my body and bones are not as good as before, and I can no longer go to the fields to help you. Even these things can't be done, I, I, I... ..." touching tears, "In the past, I naturally wouldn't do these things. I can go to the fields, let alone open two plots, even if I open four plots, I can follow you. But now Xiaozhu is still young, and Xiaohu still has to In a few years, the family will..."

"Hey, don't cry, don't cry, I'm just talking casually, it doesn't matter if the two boys don't study, what's the use of peasant children studying. Don't cry, don't cry." Boss He wanted to wipe Yang Yan'er's tears, but when he stretched out his hand, he found his hand Supporting He Xiaohua, she turned around and put Xiao Hua'er on the bed in a hurry, she couldn't sit still for a while, and bumped against the bed board firmly.

Xiao Hua'er covered her little head, and started making buns again.

Yang Yan'er put down her embroidery work, picked up Xiao Hua'er, "Xiao Hua'er don't cry, be good," coaxed a few words, then looked down to find Xiao Hua'er's small mouth was flat, her eyeballs were rolling around, and there was no splash at all.

Touching his little head, he took a deep breath, and there was another big bag.Yang Yan'er was so angry that she greeted Boss He, pinched a layer of skin with her fingers, and twisted forcefully, "Let you throw the child, let you throw the child!"

Boss He didn't dare to avoid it, he suffered a few times, his eyes and mouth were crooked in pain, he opened his hands and hugged Yang Yan'er tightly, "I didn't throw it away, I just did it all of a sudden, all of a sudden, oops, it hurts." Boss He Not daring to let go, he wrapped his hands around Yang Yan'er, and softened his voice, "It doesn't matter how much embroidery you do, I, I will buy lamp oil for you."

Yang Yan'er pushed Boss He hard with her hands, "What are you doing with all that money for lamp oil?"

"You, your eyes are dark and beautiful." Boss He smiled innocently, a blush rarely appeared on his sun-tanned face.

Yang Yan'er turned around, her face flushed, "I told you to talk nonsense, Xiao Hua'er is still listening."

He Xiaohua blinked her eyes and yawned a little, is it over yet?I'm good to sleep when it's over.

Boss He didn't like He Xiaohua's wishes, so he hugged Yang Yan'er tightly, and continued to whisper softly, "I will listen to you whatever you say. My eyes are broken, so I will ask a doctor to see me."

"Is it possible to get a doctor?"

"I, I carry you on my back, and I accompany you."

"Just talking nonsense." Seeing that Boss He didn't let go, Yang Yan'er gave up struggling, and sighed, "You know me, my craftsmanship can only be good, can't it compare to sister-in-law, I can't sell much in the city Money, it’s a waste of money to buy lamp oil. It’s just a hope at first, it’s of course good if it’s done.” Then, he glared at Boss He, “Since you don’t want to, I won’t do it. Think of other ways, It’s okay to go to the fields, and it’s also okay to do laundry. I can’t miss the food for the three children in the family.”

"I know, I'm going to work in the fields, don't worry about it."

Yang Yan'er glanced at Boss He quietly. Boss He is a hardworking person, so he will naturally do his best for this family, but how much can he make up for by farming alone. Tomorrow, he should find his sister-in-law to find a way.
