Farming fish and water love each other

Chapter 8

Although I don't know why, I am also very happy to see my mother happy. Ever since Xiaoyu got sick, Ah Mu has never smiled so happily.

"Mum," Yan Xiaoyu ran over with a basin in his arms, grunted and squeezed away Yan Dali who was standing at the door, and showed the basin to Li Qiuer as if offering a treasure, "Mum, pick all the vegetables you want And cleaned it up."

"Okay, I've been busy for a long time, put the dishes on the chopping board, and E-Mum will cut it by myself later, you go and clean up the table with your brother Dali." Li Qiuer patted Yan Xiaoyu's head.

Yan Xiaoyu put away the dishes obediently, and jumped on his brother's back to let him run to the yard to clean up the table. He refused to come down while watching his brother move the table, and held Yan Dali's hand tightly with both hands. The neck was hanging on his back, Yan Dali was so frightened that he didn't even dare to bend his waist, but he was having fun playing by himself, hehe smiled.

Yan Shan washed his face, took a cloth and wiped the soil on his body, and went in to watch Li Qiuer cook. He was not surprised when he saw the dishes on the chopping board. He just told Li Qiuer in the afternoon that he would go hunting in the mountains the next day. It's nothing to eat something good today.

Yan Shan helped Yan Xiaoyu on the chopping board to cut and put the cleaned vegetables on the plate, and chatted with Li Qiuer one after another: "Well, Xiaoyu washed the vegetables quite clean today."

Li Qiu'er continued with a smile: "That's right, my little brother helped me tidy up the house together today, sweeping the floor and cleaning the table, you did a great job."

"Hehe, good, learning to do some work will make you lighter, and my little brother won't be bored at home."

"Well, yes, our little Yu'er is a filial child, and today he told me that he will take care of all the work of sweeping the floor and washing dishes in the future, so let me have a good rest." Li Qiuer said with a proud face.

Yan Shan took the dish he had fried and put it on the chopping board, then handed him the chopped vegetables and said, "Okay, my brother is filial, from now on you..."

Yan Shan's hands trembled, fortunately Li Qiu'er had already reached out to take the bowl this time, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground and shattered.

"Qiu'er, isn't our little brother...is he?" Yan Shan asked incoherently.

Li Qiuer nodded with a smile, looked at Yan Shan with red eyes, and said firmly, "It's all good, it's all good."

Yan Shan, a man with a height of seven feet (this place is the default), suddenly buried his head on the shoulder of his brother-in-law.Li Qiu'er accompanied him silently, not saying anything, because he knew that nothing could be expressed in words at this moment.

But after a while, Yan Shan stiffened his back, and he couldn't see any changes except the red eye sockets. He hesitated for a while, looked at his brother-in-law and said in a low voice, "Xiaoyu told you by himself?" Dad's instinct, he can feel that his little brother is different from before.

Li Qiu'er's cooking hand paused, and then continued to stir fry, "Dashan, I think this is a good thing, as long as the little fish is well, I don't ask for anything else, he is still a child and doesn't know anything. Let's work hard in the future." Look at him." Li Qiu'er said in an irrelevant answer.

Yan Shan nodded, stopped talking, and laughed again after a while: "Qiu'er, I'm going to take out the jar of rice wine in the cellar, let's drink some at night."

"Okay, drink some, but you must remember that we are going to Xiaoba Mountain tomorrow, so don't drink too much." Li Qiuer warned.

After all the food was served, Yan Shan opened his homemade rice wine, and the strong aroma of the wine filled the yard. Yan Xiaoyu moved to Yan Shan's side, took a deep breath and exclaimed, "It smells so good."

Yan Shan flicked Yan Xiaoyu's forehead lightly and said with a smile, "It doesn't smell good, you are still young, so you can't taste this." He took the bowl and poured half of it for Yan Dali, "Dali has been doing it for a while now. Tired from work, drink more food, sleep well today, and rest your breath."

Yan Dali took the bowl of wine with a simple and honest smile.Yan Xiaoyu was not at all angry at being hit on the forehead just now, and still stuck to his father's side, watching him pour another bowl of wine for himself and another bowl for E'Mu, and then sealed the wine jar back.Yan Xiaoyu took the wine jar with great insight and placed it beside the table.

Yan Shan looked at the sumptuous dinner table and smiled and told Yan Xiaoyu and Yan Dali, "Eat more, let's eat all the food on the table today, and tomorrow Dad will take you to the mountain to set up rabbits and catch pheasants. Then there will be meat to eat!"

"Daddy, are you going to the mountains tomorrow? Xiaoyu is going too!" Yan Xiaoyu was very happy when he heard that he was going out. He has not dared to show signs of going out to play these days in order not to be suspected by Eminem. Now I finally let go~

"Go, go, all of you. Tomorrow, one person will carry a big frame for you, and you can find a way to pick fruits and hunt prey. You can't go down the mountain unless the basket is full." Yan Shan joked with a smile.

After hearing this, Li Qiu'er also smiled and said: "Yes, the baskets must be filled, or else they don't care about the food."

Yan Xiaoyu wasn't afraid at all, he knew in his heart that Father and Mu would not ignore him, but he still pretended to be surprised, and he cooperated and threw himself into Ah Mu's arms for comfort.Yan Shan laughed happily, watching his younger brother and his brother-in-law complain.

"Okay," Li Qiuer patted Yan Xiaoyu's head, and pressed him on the stool to finish, "Hurry up and eat, the food will be cold in a while, and my brother is not allowed to make trouble anymore, be careful It’s amazing, you’ll be the one to suffer after eating.”

Yan Xiaoyu nodded obediently after hearing what she said, and ate the vegetables with chopsticks without needing E-Mu's help.Li Qiu'er felt warm in his heart when he saw it, so he let him eat by himself, and only occasionally picked up some dishes that were placed far away.

"Father," Yan Dali said while eating, "When shall we go up the mountain tomorrow?"

"It doesn't have to be too early tomorrow morning. Just rest assured and go to sleep. We'll talk about it when you all wake up." Yan Shan gave Yan Dali a piece of chicken with chopsticks, put it in a bowl and told him to eat more, and said to Li Qiuer, "Qiuer , I was thinking that when you get up tomorrow morning, we will bake some pancakes and we will not come back at noon and eat directly up the mountain."

Li Qiu'er felt that going back and forth was really a waste of time, it would be more convenient to eat directly on the mountain, and besides, there are many things on the mountain in this season, so you will never be hungry.

After dinner, Yan Xiaoyu volunteered to help Li Qiuer wash the dishes, and Li Qiuer didn't stop him, it's always good for my brother to get married and learn more.

Ever since dinner, Yan Xiaoyu has been looking forward to going to the mountains to play here, even when he went to bed, he kept jumping up and down excitedly, but in the end, Li Qiuer pressed him on the bed and patted Pigu twice, threatening that if he didn't sleep well, he wouldn't take him with him tomorrow I just lay down, thinking in my heart that I must be the first to get up tomorrow.

It's a pity that I was too excited to fall asleep at night, and as a result, I overslept in the morning. When Yan Xiaoyu woke up wobbly, it was already dawn, so he spurned himself deeply in his heart.

When Li Qiuer entered the room, she saw her little brother sitting on the bed with an annoyed expression on her face, "Little fish is up, hurry up and get dressed, E-Mu has left rice for you in the pot, we should leave when you finish eating gone."

"Mum, are you all waiting for me to be alone? I thought about getting up early, but I overslept." Yan Xiaoyu said with his head down.

"Hehe, no, your father and I got up early to prepare things for going up the mountain, and brother Dali hasn't woken up yet," Li Qiuer smiled and patted her little brother on the head, then took the clothes and handed them to He said: "Okay, don't hold back when you wake up, get up and have some food, your father will also call your brother Dali."

"Hey," when Yan Xiaoyu heard that he wasn't the last one to get up, he immediately regained his spirits. He got up from the bed and put on his clothes quickly. She tied her hair crookedly in a bun and held it in place with a silk ribbon.

Li Qiu'er watched her little brother comb his hair clumsily for a long time, but a few strands fell off when he tied the ribbon, so he instructed him to comb his hair again.

After working for a long time, Yan Xiaoyu finally got his hair done. When he was in the orphanage, he saw those aunts braiding the little girls in the orphanage. It was so simple, but the real practice was really hard, and his hands were numb. Lost.

Li Qiu'er brought the rice to the table in the main room, and asked Yan Xiaoyu to wash up and go eat by himself, then went to find things to bring up the mountain.

After a hurried morning, I finally packed up all my things for going up the mountain. Because I was going up the mountain to hunt and pick fruits, Li Qiuer couldn't bring many things with me, otherwise it would be a problem to carry it when I came back.So he only brought some pancakes and water in the basket on his back, an oilcloth used to cover the firewood for convenience, and a rest for rest when he was tired, and a bow and a few dogs in the baskets of Yan Shan and Yan Dali. As the weakest person, Yan Xiaoyu's basket was the smallest and it was empty.

After everything was ready, Yan Xiaoyu's family went out, and the door was locked.Yan Xiaoyu's house is in the east of the village, at the foot of Xiaoba Mountain, so it didn't take long to walk there.

Xiaoba Mountain and Daba Mountain are separated by the Qinghe River flowing through the middle. Daba Mountain has a long mountain and deep forests. Some rare medicinal materials and animals are often seen in the mountains, but because there are often beasts in it, and you have to go to Daba Mountain is about to cross the Qinghe River, so most of the people in the village will not go there except for those really experienced hunters who occasionally accompany them.

Compared with Daba Mountain, Xiaoba Mountain is more liked by the people in the village. Because Xiaoba Mountain is just a single mountain, the types of plants on it are relatively simple, and there are only some small animals, but this season is the harvest time. Xiaoba Mountain The hazelnuts, chestnuts, and walnuts on Bashan Mountain are all ripe, and the harvest is the most abundant when going up the mountain.

Yan Xiaoyu followed behind Dad like a bumpkin who was always excited when he saw everything, and he didn't calm down for a while until Yan Dali found him the red fruit that he usually eats.

Along the way, Li Qiu'er took note of the mature fruit trees that passed by and picked them when she was going back.Looking at Yan Xiaoyu who kept bouncing around, he was not angry but just told him to be careful.
