Slanting rain pastoral Ruo Kasa new

When the first peach blossoms bloomed on the top of Wuxu Mountain, the men who went out to work rushed home one by one with their bags on their backs.

The flavor of the New Year in Yanjiawan is getting stronger and stronger.

Yan Xu was the last wave to come back.

He just turned around from the mouth of the bay, and his goal was the pink cloud on the top of Wuxu Mountain, which really made him stunned, and he couldn't help staring at Wuxu Mountain in a daze: Eh?When did Wuxu Mountain change like this?

With doubts, after Yan Xu, who was dragging big bags and small bags, entered the bay, he saw his mother-in-law and aunt waiting there holding the child at the gate of the courtyard from a distance.

Subconsciously glanced at the back of his house, silently, Yan Xu hurried over.

"It's freezing cold, why are you standing here with your child in your arms? Don't freeze the child." Yan Xu handed the luggage over as he spoke, and reached out to catch the little daughter in Zhou Jinlan's hand. Rubbing on her tender little face: "My baby Yu'er, do you want to be sweet?"

Zhou Jinlan looked at Yan Xu with joy and smiled.

Taking the luggage from her husband, seeing the affection between the father and daughter, she couldn't help but cast her eyes back, and said with a little disappointment: "The child is sweet, where is Jia Fan? Didn't come back with you?"

Casting a sideways glance at Zhou Jinlan, Yan Xu was a little displeased: "Fan'er is here with you, you are asking knowingly."

Seeing Yan Xu's impatient expression, Zhou Jinlan's heart ached, she swallowed the words that hit her throat, bit her lip, turned her head, and walked into the house with her luggage.

Seeing Zhou Jinlan like this, Yan Xu couldn't help but frowned, feeling more disgusted in his heart, the daughter who was hugged too tightly by him writhed in his arms, and then he relaxed, and then used the stubble-covered Rubbing her chin against her daughter, she made her giggle and yelled softly, "Bad, itchy." Then she carried her daughter into the house with a smile on her face.

Zhou Jinlan is indeed a rare good mother-in-law in ten miles and eight villages. Not only is she beautiful, but she has a pair of skillful hands. When it comes to housework, no matter cooking or embroidery, she ranks first among the young mothers-in-law in Yanjiawan.

Therefore, Yan Guofu was designated as the first choice for his daughter-in-law as early as Shi.However, even such Zhou Jinlan still has her own sadness that cannot be explained or known by others.

Zhou Jinlan, who was silently kneading her noodles in the kitchen, heard her husband and little daughter laughing in the living room, her nose sore, and a tear fell into the clay bowl of the noodles.

Yan Xu was teasing and lying on the side, with a pair of black grape-like eyeballs open, looking at his daughter curiously, while licking the noodles in the bowl, he seemed to inadvertently asked Zhou Jinlan : "What's going on in Gou'er Mountain? Who's doing it?"

Zhou Jinlan was taken aback, said "Oh", put down her sewing, lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in her eyes, stretched out her hand to straighten her daughter's clothes, and said, "The third son of Uncle Yao's family is back, and he wrapped up the dog. Where is the mountain?"

Yan Xu was taken aback when he heard the words: "Huh? San... When will you come back?"

Gently blew her daughter's nose with a handkerchief, and after glancing at Yan Xu, Zhou Jinlan picked up the embroidery work in her hand again, and combed her hair with a needle. When I came back, I contracted Gouer Mountain as soon as I came back.”

Yan Xu let out an angry "Oh", thoughtfully, and silently picked up two mouthfuls of noodles in the bowl with his head down, no longer in the mood to tease his daughter: "In a moment, um, take out the little things in the bag, I will go to the back to see Look... Uncle Yao."

Zhou Jinlan was taken aback, and looked up at Yan Xu. Yan Xu lowered his head, unable to see his expression clearly.Zhou Jinlan made a mocking arc with some disappointment: "Well, but, Uncle Yao's family has now moved to the building under Gou'er Mountain."

Yan Xu raised his head and looked at Zhou Jinlan in confusion: "The building under Gou'er Mountain...?"

Zhou Jinlan met her husband's eyes, calmed down, and nodded, "I did it a few years ago, so it's beautiful." As soon as Zhou Jinlan finished speaking, she clearly saw her husband's eyes flicker, and she actually avoided it. caught her gaze.

"Do you want to bring lemons?" Zhou Jinlan asked Yan Xu coldly.

The chopsticks in Yan Xu's hands paused, then he lowered his head and continued to pick the noodles, with an indistinct "hmm".

It didn't take Yan Xu 5 minutes for a bowl of noodles to arrive in his hands until he picked up the last scallion.

Then the bowl was put on the table, and the chopsticks were put down, Yan Xu left the chair and went out with a few catties of lemons and some nutritional products that Zhou Jinlan took out from the luggage.

When Yan Xu walked out of the courtyard in a hurry, he didn't see Zhou Jinlan behind him holding her daughter sadly and looking at him. In the bottom of his eyes, there was a wave of clear tears that were about to collapse.

The wind was blowing from the soles of Yan Xu's feet, and his footsteps were hurried with excitement, with some...unspeakable eagerness.

Turning around in the gazebo, looking at the surroundings surrounded by pink pink, even Yan Che, who doesn't like rosy colors, couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth.

The first batch of peach seedlings were selected from a new variety, Dwarf Peach, specially introduced by the technicians in the Institute of Agricultural Sciences.

Originally, Yan Che wanted to choose peach trees for ornamental purposes, but when he thought that rural people could not handle these so-called elegant things, they were talking about benefits, and only saw the fruits on the branches, so he sighed and chose this beautiful and productive tree. Dwarf peach with high fruit volume.

Moreover, it seems that due to the spraying of clear water, the fruit trees on this mountain grow fast and have a high survival rate, and they haven't even seen half of the pests.

Yan Che was very satisfied with this: Heh, this clear water is really more effective than that pesticide, um, no, our future will be green, pure green fruit without chemical pollution.

Dwarf peach is a new variety of peach tree that has been grafted. It has colorful flowers, and it is often full of branches as soon as it blooms.When it comes to the season of fruiting, the fruit is definitely not inferior to ordinary peach trees. If you don’t carefully set up the frame, cut the flowers and pinch the fruit* [because the fruit of the first season usually comes out, the fruit tree is less than one year old, and the branches are still very old. They are weak and slender, so most farmers who plant fruit trees will pinch off too many fruits so that the stronger fruit trees will bear more fruits in the next year], which can crush the small and thin peach branches.

In order to facilitate the viewing of the distant view in the future, Yan Che deliberately raised the location of the grass pavilion from the beginning, leveled the area where the dwarf peaches were planted... and then planted them around the grass pavilion, so the tops of the dwarf peach trees are generally lower than the grass pavilion. railing.

Sitting on the stone bench in the grass pavilion, Yan Che looked at the peach blossoms that could be picked with his head bowed, and then at the little gold and silver that were crawling around in and out of the pavilion, jumping up and down. Listening to the sound of the wind, breathing the faint fragrance of peach blossoms in the fresh air.

A gust of cool wind blew, Yan Che shivered, moved his body, only to realize that he had accidentally fallen asleep just sitting like this, and there were little gold and little silver lying beside him, their tails were all Lying on Yan Che's lap, they are using their warm and smooth fur as a "stove" for Yan Che.

Seeing that Yan Che woke up, both of them raised their heads to look at Yan Che, Little Silver habitually rubbed his head against Yan Che's hand that was stroking it, where is Little Jin?Uh...he started to "sing and dance" in front of Yan Che again and again. (Oops)

Looking down the mountain, guessing that Yan Guoqiang had finished spreading the fry, Yan Che rubbed Xiaoyin's head, then patted Xiaoyin's back, and said, "Let's go, we should go down the mountain."

"Meow-"

Xiao Jin rushed to Yan Che's feet, rubbed Yan Che's calf, and looked up at Yan Che with "aggrieved".

Yan Che curled his mouth, squatted down, stretched out his hand and scratched the hair on Xiao Jin's neck, Xiao Jin also squinted his eyes and enjoyed it... Seeing Xiao Jin like this, Yan Che couldn't help laughing and cursing: "You are the most troublesome."

The reason why Yan Che went up the mountain at this time was because yesterday he sent a batch of fish fry from Zhaojiagou, with a total of a thousand fish, and was going to put them into the pond that had been filled with water a few days ago and had been planted with lotus flowers.

And what about Yan Che?There is a problem that makes people laugh and cry - although Yan Che likes to eat fish very much, he can't touch half a scale of the raw fish, and he belongs to the kind of master who can ooze red particles all over his body when he touches it.

Therefore, apart from eating cleaned and cooked fish, Yan Che simply stayed away from raw fish... The matter of throwing fish fry had to be handed over to the two brothers Yan Guoqiang and Yan Guosheng. Yan Che could only avoid it far away. Hide as far as you can.

Yan Che also worked hard to overcome this problem, but in the end, dense red particles appeared all over his body, and he developed a high fever intermittently, until he was lying in the hospital for a day and a night.

Therefore, for overcoming this weird problem, it is nothing but a complete compromise.

As soon as he reached the halfway up the mountain, Yan Che found Xiao Jin and Xiao Yin screaming "Woooooo" towards the foot of the mountain like fried hair.

When Yan Che was confused, he saw a figure walking towards him.

After drinking Xiaojin and Xiaoyin, Yan Che looked carefully in the direction, and a person was walking towards him along the path: "Who?"

"San'er?" The person here is not as tall and strong as Yan Jiang, nor as thin and slender as Yan Che, but his facial features are four or five points similar to Yan Jiang and Yan He... The man looked at Yan Che, called out uncertainly, his eyes flickered with light that made Yan Che frown.

"You are..." Yan Che frowned slightly, searching for information about the visitor in his mind.

"Yan Xu." After the visitor disappeared for a moment, the corners of his mouth curled up, his eyebrows raised, and there was a hint of scorn in his eyes: "If I saw it outside, I really dare not recognize it... the one before would shout 'Brother Xu', the little doll who grabbed the corner of my clothes and asked me to take him up the mountain has grown so big now." The longer it is, the more beautiful it is, and the longer it is, the more attractive it is...

"Uh..." Yan Che stared blankly, this is... "Brother Yan Xu?"

The man's eyebrows slanted, and the corners of his mouth dropped, with exaggerated disappointment on his face: "I used to call me Brother Xu."

"Uh, brother Yan Xu, when did you come back?" Maybe because he remembered some scandals when he was young, Yan Che's face was stained a little pink, which complemented the peach blossoms behind him, making people sigh that the flowers are inferior to others. The man also lost his mind a little.

"Hehe, I just came back for a while, and I heard that you booked Gou'er Mountain, so I rushed over to take a look." The man looked away with some reluctance, turned around to look at Wuxu Mountain, and said, "San'er, the place is well organized. Ah, when I entered the bay, I thought I had made a mistake and entered that fairyland by mistake."

"It's not so exaggerated." Yan Che also hooked the corners of his mouth and said modest words, but his eyes were full of pride and complacency, and he was also very satisfied with Yan Xu's extremely exaggerated praise.

Looking back at Yan Che's reproachful look, the man's eyes flickered, he quickly lowered his eyelids, and said softly: "Let's go, Uncle Yao told me to call you down the mountain. It's windy on the mountain, so don't catch a cold." He took off his suit jacket, and put it on Yan Che's body without Yan Che's refusal.

Although a little awkward, Yan Che didn't think much about it. Under the man's surprised eyes on Xiao Jin and Xiao Yin, he greeted Xiao Jin and Xiao Yin to move freely, and then walked down the mountain with the man.

In response to Yan Xu's request that Yan Che, the "landlord", be a "tour guide" and take him around the new Wuxu Mountain, Yan Che did not immediately go down the mountain and return to the bamboo building, but took Yan Xu from the middle of Wuxu Mountain ... Between pear trees and apple trees, a road around the mountain was specially paved with pebbles taken from the river, and went around the back of Wuxu Mountain, and circled around Wuxu Mountain.

Then go down from the back mountain, walk half a circle along the foot of the mountain from the path paved with green bricks, and walk back to the bamboo building in front.

While walking, Yan Che asked Yan Xu about his life in these years, and Yan Che selectively gave some short and gentle answers, and occasionally asked about Yan Xu's recent situation.

However, compared with Yan Che's perfunctory, from the beginning to the end, Yan Che found that Yan Xu's words were gentle, with a lot of interest, and his eyes were filled with tenderness that made him frown again.

Logically speaking, Yan Guofu and Yan Guoqiang are brothers, and the relationship between cousins ​​will be very good.

However, the relationship between the four brothers Yan Guoqiang is not as good as it seems to outsiders, especially the relationship between Yan Guofu and Yan Guoqiang can be said to be relatively bad.

For this cousin of Sanbo's family, Yan Che's memory only stays in his childhood: he often carried Sanbo on his back, and Yan Xu would secretly bring him good food from home, and he would definitely be beaten by Sanbo when he returned home. smoke.

Even so, Yan Che's affection for this cousin is far inferior to being close to Yan Jiamei.

This time when Yan Che came back, he heard that the two families had taken over their private land because of Yan Xu's construction of a house. After the sister-in-law got up and made a fuss, she became more indifferent to Sanbo's family.

Seeing the bamboo building in sight, Yan Xu's eyes showed a trace of dissatisfaction, dissatisfied with the short distance traveled.

The two stood under the small willow tree next to the pond, and Yan Xu looked at the covered bridge extending to the center of the pond: "San'er, are you going to build a villa?"

Yan Che pursed his lips and did not answer, but looked at the grass pavilion in the middle of the pond with a smile in his eyes, light and faint, very eye-catching.

Looking sideways at Yan Che for a long time, Yan Xu's eyes were sad, and his voice was low: "San'er, why did you come back?"

Yan Che turned his head and looked at Yan Xu in amazement: "Huh?"

"Hehe." Yan Xu smiled dryly, stretched out his hand to wrap Yan Che into his arms, hugged Yan Che vigorously, and then let go quickly: "It's nothing, hehe, brother thinks you are capable, a big city like Beijing should be you I just can’t figure out how to come back.”

Yan Che didn't think about Yan Xu's behavior, he sat lazily by the stone table under the willow tree, stroked the newly chiseled stone table pattern, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I've been wandering outside for a long time, I really want to go home. Besides, it’s good to be at home every day, but it’s always difficult to go out. No matter how beautiful the outside is, it’s not as comfortable as at home.”

"Yes...is that so?" Yan Xu also sat opposite to Yan Che, but it didn't seem that Yan Che was full of the surrounding scenery.

Yan Che looked at the scenery, while Yan Xu looked at the person looking at the scenery, his eyes were full of obsession and struggle.

"Wow." A soft voice sounded behind the two of them.

Yan Che turned his head and saw Zhou Jinlan holding her daughter standing under a newly grown thorny vine wall, the little girl in her arms stretched out her hand in the pink down jacket.

"Ah, my sister-in-law is here." With a smile in the corner of Yan Che's eyes, he got up and greeted her: "Why are you standing here? Come in and sit down."

At this time, Yan Guoqiang also came out of the bamboo building, and he smiled when he saw Zhou Jinlan and the child: "Xiao Yuer is here."

Only then did Zhou Jinlan walk out from the shadow of the prickly vine wall, and stepped forward with a smile: "Uncle Yao is busy. Yu'er, call me Grandpa Yao."

The little girl moved away the pair of sparkling eyes looking at Yan Che, and after Nuo Nuo softly called out "Grandpa Yao", her eyes returned to Yan Che's face, and the corners of her mouth were still moist and glistening. The bright liquid stretched out his hand to Yan Che: "Hug."

The four adults were all taken aback, Zhou Jinlan glanced at Yan Xu, but smiled indifferently: "Hehe, this kid, is he so spineless when he sees his little uncle looking good?"

To Zhou Jinlan's words, Yan Guoqiang paused for a moment, with a flash of steadfastness on his face, Yan Xu's face was darker than seeing Zhou Jinlan's mother and daughter, but Yan Che didn't mind, and took Yan Jiayu with his hand: "Your name is Little Yuer, right? How old are you?"

"Nice." The little girl didn't answer Yan Che's words. Of course, she was still young and didn't know how to answer. Instead, she stretched out her chubby little hand to Yan Che's face.

Before touching Yan Che's face, Yan Che felt a gust of wind sweeping past him, his arms were empty, and the little girl had already fallen into Yan Xu's arms: "Uncle Yao, we... are going home first. Saner, yes, yes It's time for us brothers to have a good time... Well, let's have a good chat."

"Wow—bad, bad, bad..."

Amid the heart-piercing cries of the child, Yan Che, Yan Guoqiang and his son looked at the backs of Yan Xu and his wife, who were walking away in a hurry, with puzzled faces, and looked at each other: ——what's the matter? (Yan Guoqiang)

—I don't know, I just hugged the kid. (Yan Che)

--Um?Why are you so angry? (Yan Guoqiang)

——Uh, you don't think I can't hold a baby, do you? (Yan Che)

Then, the father and son shook their heads in bewilderment, sighed... and went back to the house.

Thinking of Yan Xu's eyes and Zhou Jinlan's strange tone, Yan Che turned his head and glanced at the direction where Yan Xu's family of three left, his eyes were still narrowed, and his lips were pursed tightly.
