This hour is the time for Sheng Yao to go out of the study to relax after a day of reading.

He half-lyed on the rattan chair in the yard, his long legs took up a large space, and seven-year-old Ganger sat next to him on a small bench to rub peanuts.

Hearing Qiao Zhishu's voice, Sheng Yao didn't move, but raised his head and said lazily: "Little sister finally gave you a day off, you don't know how to be lazy, isn't it hot on the mountain?"

"Brother, let me have a look." Sheng Gang stood up, with a small belly, I don't know how he grew up, his limbs were thin and thin, and his belly was round.

Qiao Zhishu threw the pheasant aside. The pheasant's feet were entangled tightly with dead vines, and it was too drunk to run away.

While Gang'er got up to pick the pheasants, he occupied Gang'er's small bench and sat next to his brother.

Then he replied: "It's not hot, Gang'er wants to eat stewed mushrooms, and has been reading it for many days."

Sheng Yao just sat up, got up and picked up a big watermelon from the wooden barrel under the eaves, and cut it in the yard.The watermelon was well watered, the watermelon was crunchy and sweet, and Qiao Zhishu lost the heat after eating one piece.

Qiao Zhishu: "Gang'er, come here to eat melons, I will save my heart for you."

Sheng Gang is still squatting and poking a pheasant with his little hand, watermelon can't even tempt him, when can he go up the mountain with his little brother to catch a pheasant?

Sheng Yao was more domineering, went to pick up his younger brother with one hand, sat back on the rattan chair, and fed Sheng Gang watermelon hearts.

Sheng Gang's little hand wanted to take the melon by himself, but Sheng Yao refused, "Eat."

He dug out the melon heart on purpose, without the rind, and he washed his hands after cutting the watermelon himself.

Qiao Zhishu touched Gang'er's belly, it was warm, "It's bulging, brother, what did he eat?"

"I didn't eat anything, and I didn't let me cut the watermelon, saying that I would wait for you to go down the mountain."

Qiao Zhishu smiled lightly, "Then I won't stew mushrooms for you today, I'll boil a few vegetable leaves for you to eat, it will make you stink after eating."

Sheng Gang spit out the watermelon seeds, wrinkled his nose and chewed the melon meat after spitting out, the little guy would act like a baby, "Don't! You can't."

"Boil the cabbage tonight." Sheng Yao and Qiao Zhishu sang together, then leaned back on the chair, holding the watermelon with only their long hands.

Qiao Zhishu really got up and left the yard.

Sheng Gang shouted angrily from behind: "Don't wait for my brother to cut the watermelon!"

"Hey..." Qiao Zhishu was overwhelmed with joy, and ran to help Grandma Sheng go back to the yard to eat watermelon.

Sheng Gang was accompanied by his grandma, and he and Sheng Yao killed chickens and lit a fire in the corner of the courtyard, scooped up well water and soaked dried mushrooms.

In the evening, the four of them started a small stove in their own yard, scalded a lot of sweet potato leaves and coaxed Ganger to eat them.After dinner, he took Gang'er for a walk in the yard to count the stars, and Qiao Zhishu showed off his knowledge to his younger brother.

"One person has a mouth, and a hand grows under the mouth. Guess what the word is?"

Sheng Gang held his head high, facing the sky, and raised his little hand to make gestures in the air.When Sheng Yao taught Qiao Zhishu, he always took him with him, but he was not strict with him. He was sleeping, but his little brother still had to do homework.

"Human... mouth... hand, take it!" Sheng Gang shouted Haha, he quickened a few steps to catch up with the little brother and continued walking to digest food.

"That's right!" Qiao Zhishu clapped his hands, "I'll make another one, bite off the tail of the ox in one bite, and guess a word."

Sheng Gang stopped again, and started gesticulating against the sky again.

This is the happiest time of the day for him. He eats enough and waits until it gets dark. The older brother and the younger brother accompany him, and the grandma sitting under the tree laughs.

Sheng Gang couldn't write any gestures, so he ran to take pictures of the window of his eldest brother's study.

His elder brother picked up a piece of paper and wrote the word 'report', and held it up for him to read.

Qiao Zhishu came over to take him away, "You're looking for brother to cheat again, I'll give you the easiest way."

Sheng Gang didn't want to guess anymore, so he called his elder brother softly in a small voice, "I don't even know if my elder brother has a younger brother, so it's pointless for me to guess by myself!"

Sheng Yao put down his brush, got up and came to the window, half complaining and half asking questions.

"No day is safe, guess a word."

Sheng Gang was dumbfounded, he guessed the combination was okay, it was really hard for him.

"I know, it's a banquet." Qiao Zhishu was full of confidence, "The chief's banquet is a banquet for talking and laughing at Yanyan."

Sheng Yao raised his eyebrows and continued to question: "Well, where did it come from?"

"From the Book of Songs."

Sheng Gang stepped in, "Why is it Yan? Which Yan is it?"

Qiao Zhishu grabbed his little hand and made gestures in his palm, "If you don't have a safe life, you will have a restless day. If you dismantle the installation, it will be a feast."

Sheng Gang looked at what the older brother and the younger brother said were all unknown to him, and was very unhappy, "It doesn't count, the elder brother wants to write a word that I can understand, and there is no such word in my Book of Songs!"

"Hasn't Gang'er learned this word yet? It's my elder brother's mistake, so I'll think about it again." Sheng Yao pondered, "A family of eleven, guess one word."

Sheng Gang's little hand wrote on the wooden window, muttering, "One plus... eleven, good luck! Good luck!"

While talking, I paid my respects to my elder brother and my younger brother.

Then Sheng Gang was praised by his two elder brothers, and after a few more laps, he was taken to the back door by the younger brother before going to bed, and stinky.

He was so excited that he even asked in surprise, "Brother, was my poop eaten by a puppy yesterday? It's gone!"

Qiao Zhishu was guarding him with a lantern. Hearing this, he covered his mouth and smiled in the dark, "I'm pulling papa with you because I'm afraid that the puppy will be hungry? Stop talking and work hard. It's cold at night."

"Hmm!" Sheng Gang really made a loud voice, making Qiao Zhishu laugh until the lantern trembled.

……

Qiao Zhishu took a shower and went back to his room after he put Gang'er's younger brother to sleep.

Sheng Yao put his wet hair on the back of the grand teacher's chair, facing up, with the book covering his face, quietly as if he was asleep.Qiao Zhishu went over and picked up a handkerchief to wipe the ends of his brother's hair. Sheng Yao took off the book on his face, closed his eyes and said he had a headache.

Qiao Zhishu stood up and rubbed his brother's temples, "It's only in August, brother, don't worry too much."

It is now May, and as the saying goes, "There are fewer idle months in the farm, and people are more busy in May." Sheng Yao's return home is during the busy farming period. Take a month off.

"No hurry." Sheng Yao opened his eyes, "Go to bed, bro, sit down for a while."

Qiao Zhishu didn't move, still pressed Sheng Yao's head, taking advantage of the dead of night to discuss things with his brother.

"My sister said that she bought a shop and asked me to pack up and go live with her and my aunt in the county, but I was thinking, what about Gang'er? He is also seven years old, and grandma can't see him anymore."

Sheng Xue's original words were: Don't you still have grandma?

But Qiao Zhishu knew that the current Ganger could not be taken care of by grandma alone.

Sheng Yao didn't speak immediately, and he couldn't say anything about his little sister's temper.Now Shengxue can make money, everything is going well, her personality is becoming more and more assertive, she even intervenes in his affairs, and often advises him not to work hard on his studies.

Thinking of Sheng Gang, since he coughed up blood when he was four years old, the family has spent a lot of money to raise him meticulously for a whole year, and he finally got better, and there should be no more troubles.

So Sheng Yao said: "I'll discuss it with my father. Gang'er can't do without people, you stay with Gang'er at home first, and when brother Qiu Wei returns to his hometown, if you want, you can live with her in the county."

Qiao Zhishu hesitated, "Brother, after the exam, don't you want me to live with you?"

Thinking of this, he was extremely sad, and his strength was not much improved.

Only by his brother's side can he feel pure affection.For example, being taught the principles of being a human being and doing things; for example, the watermelon heart will always belong to him and Ganger; for example, a chicken has two legs, and he and Ganger each have one...

"Then if you don't want to go, follow brother, who would dare to push you away?" Sheng Yao chuckled softly, sat up and turned to comfort Qiao Zhishu.

"When the autumn is over, brother will plan for the future."

Qiao Zhishu smiled happily and nodded obediently.Sheng Yao protected him when he grew up, and he also accompanied Sheng Yao to grow up. He watched his brother self-discipline and self-control, becoming more and more masculine, calm, stable, and responsible.

The brother he wanted to be.

Sheng Yao went to turn off the lights, and the two of them lay back on their own beds.In the dark, Qiao Zhishu told Sheng Yao an interesting story about catching pheasants on the mountain, where the rabbit traps were dug, and Sheng Gang pulled Smelly Smelly for the dogs to eat.

It was very late at night, and the low magnetic laughter of the men in their room could still be heard. Sheng Yao felt relaxed and happy, and didn't feel a headache, so he fell asleep soon...

**

On the second day, the busy Sheng family had an extra helper——Sheng Ying returned to her natal family.

Sheng Ying is the only married grandchildren of the Sheng family, and she just gave birth two years ago.Then the reason why the child is too young to travel far is that he has not returned to his mother's house for the Chinese New Year in the past three years, and he came back alone today.

The old lady was overjoyed when she saw her eldest granddaughter, and Sheng's family gathered in the hall to talk about family affairs. Sheng Yao hadn't seen her elder sister for two years, so she put away her books and sat beside her.

The old lady Sheng looked at her precious granddaughter carefully, with worry on her brows, "Why is Sister Ying so clear?"

Sheng Ying lowered her head and picked up Guangxiu. Today she was wearing a light-colored inner gauze mid-sole, a green cross-neck wide-sleeved beige, deliberately wearing loose clothes, not wanting to let her grandmother see that she has lost weight.

"It's been hot these days, Yinger's appetite has been poor, plus...Little Luohua can walk a few steps without help, no matter how busy she is, she always has to take care of her, worrying about losing weight... ..."

When mentioning her two-year-old great-granddaughter, Mrs. Sheng immediately understood.

"If you get older, you can take it with you. Then you come back to stay for a longer time. Grandma will give you a good body. You can't lose weight anymore. Grandma will feel distressed when she sees it."

"Hey, Yinger always listens to grandma." Sheng Ying felt caring and gentle like jade.

The old lady hurriedly asked about the situation of her great-granddaughter. Sheng Ying specially picked up her daughter's lively and lovely anecdotes to share. After talking for a while, she asked if there was anything left to do in the family's field. One close.

Sheng Xue was very clear about her purpose of going back to her natal home this time.

Only then did he open his mouth: "Why does it take the elder sister to travel thousands of miles to go to the field? The elder sister just stays at home with grandma... Dad said that there were a few heavy rains in the spring, and the harvest of the field this year is half of what it used to be, so there is no need for manpower." , we have enough for our own family.”

The smile on the corner of Sheng Ying's mouth stopped for a moment, "Isn't your family rich this year?"

Sheng Xue looked at her mother, and Fang He hurriedly answered, "Your little brother's illness will cost you a lot of money every month, and in two months, your elder brother will go to the state capital to take the provincial examination, and it will cost a lot of money..."

"This family has never been rich."
