I farmed in ancient times

"Who did it." The elder said with a gloomy face, "Shut up."

After being stopped by the elder's intimidating words, the crying stopped abruptly. Several timid children held back their tears and hid in the adults' arms in panic.

In the past, the most common words I heard from adults were: If you are disobedient, I will throw you to Panshan to feed the wolves/Let the elders arrest you.

If you really make a mistake now, will the elders take away the disobedient children and throw them into the mountains?

Although Cen's father didn't say these things to scare the children to Chaoan, Chao'an heard them discuss it a lot when playing with his peers after school.

"Master Qi, my baby is so timid, how could he set fire to it?" someone said.

"The most courageous one here is Erhu."

A woman put her hands on the child's shoulders and glared at Er Hu, "Every summer, he is the one who takes the lead in running into the river."

People drown in the reverse river every year, and the village repeatedly warns children to stay away from the river, but Erhu has the ability to take a few half-grown children to avoid the sight of the villagers and go down the river to play in the water at noon.

Nearly drowned a child last year.

Erhu took a few steps back and lowered his head. He is ten years old this year. Older ones help the family with work and have no time to play. Erhu is the oldest and the best at playing. It is the head of this group of children who lead a group of children to the tree to dig birds. Eggs, go down the river to touch crabs, think about it and get it out.

"Two Tigers." Du Hu slapped Du Hu on the head, "Did you do it!"

Er Hu flattened his mouth, "No! Me!"

"The place where the flint fell is quite far away from Chao'an." Uncle Shi interrupted Erhu, and analyzed: "Children, it must be very panic when the straw stack is lit. As long as we find out who is holding the flint last, Who is nearest to where the flint and steel fell."

"I know who lit the fire." Uncle Shi glanced at Erhu, and said to the adults and children present: "They are all children of how old, and they are not sensible. They accidentally made sparks and lit the stack of wheat straw. It is possible." Yuan, go home and teach me a few words, so I can’t play like this in the future.”

Who didn't have skin when they were young?But this time it was a bit big.

The two tigers are also attending classes in the school. Apart from teaching, Mr. Cen will also talk to them about how to behave in the world.

A man should have the courage to take responsibility for doing something wrong.

"I, I'm just trying." Erhu lowered his head and twisted his hands and fingers together, "I didn't expect that flint and stone can also make fire."

As he said that, Erhu took out a stone from his arms, "I saw the smoke coming out, so I wanted to get a bucket of water, but the flint and stone were confused."

The two tigers had only run a few steps when the wheat straw stack caught fire, and the passing villagers shouted, and the villagers who heard it came out to fight the fire.

Seeing that he caused such a big trouble because of his mischievous smashing of rocks, he remembered that his father and brother would blow up his ass if they found out. Well, the people in the village will definitely not trouble Mrs. Cen.

And Mr. Cen will not beat Cen Chaoan.

Erhu's little abacus was very good. Unexpectedly, when elder Qi came over, he could knock people away with a single punch. ,

Hearing Uncle Shi's analysis, Erhu immediately faltered.

After confessing his "crime", Erhu closed his eyes nervously, waiting for Dahu, his father, and the senior three men to beat him violently.

"Er Hu didn't know that flint and ordinary stones can produce sparks." Chao'an, who was almost wronged, took his brother's hand, "Besides, he didn't want to run away, the first thing he wanted was to make amends."

"Cen Chao'an—" Er Hu opened his eyes, his round eyes widened, "Aren't you angry?"

Chao An nodded, "Angry, I'm very angry, but I'm just telling the truth."

Chao An tugged on his brother's sleeve, "Shall we go back?"

"Oh." Caesar took Chao'an's hand, and the two brothers walked up the mountain.

Cen Chaoan is only five years old this year. Apart from being frightened and crying when something happens, he quickly clears up his thoughts, analyzes calmly, and uses evidence to prove that he did not ignite the fire.

How did Father Cen raise his children?I haven't seen how he taught Chao'an usually.

At the door of the house, Jue Ming picked up the scattered sweet-scented osmanthus candies on the ground. Fortunately, there was still a layer of paper wrapped in it that was not stained with soil. He goes to wash his face.

When Lizheng and Father Cen in the ancestral hall knew about this, the crowd in the wheat field had already dispersed, leaving only ashes on the ground.

At that time, Erhu, whose buttocks had been beaten up by mixed doubles, was carried by his parents and walked towards the foot of the mountain.

Small courtyard.

"Chao'an, I'm sorry." Erhu said, bowing to Chao'an, "I shouldn't have said that you lit the fire just now."

"Well, I forgive you." Chao An waved his hand, and said like a little adult: "Let's expose this matter, and just don't do it again in the future."

Being educated by a five-year-old doll, Erhu scratched his head and took out a bamboo dragonfly from his bosom.

In an instant, Chao An's eyes were glued to the bamboo dragonfly, and Erhu handed the bamboo dragonfly to Chao An, "I made this, and I give it to you."

Chao An looked at his father, and after Cen's father nodded, Chao An took the bamboo dragonfly, and happily dragged Erhu out of the door, and the two children quickly formed a ball again.

"This kid just doesn't have a long memory." Er Hu's father shook his head and smiled again, "Master, to put it bluntly, it's our Er Hu's fault."

"I see that this child is clever." Father Cen didn't blame Er Hu, after all, he was only ten years old, so there was no need to be angry with a child.

"It's not clever, it's cunning!" Er Huniang said bitterly, "I wish I could go to heaven at home, if you tell him something, he can tell you a lot of truth."

It turned out that Erhu didn't go to school, it was good, and he spoke the truth straight, so he was beaten a lot for this. After he went to school, what he said kept going back and forth, and Erhu's father was taken aback for a while, and he didn't know what he said is true or false.

Father Cen smiled warmly, shook his head, and said, "Er Hu's talent is quite good, but his temperament is a little loose. You should restrain him properly and guide him slowly."

It's not free and undisciplined, it's like a big yellow dog without a leash, it can run around all over the mountains, if it doesn't have to eat three meals a day at home, the two tigers can't go home all day.

Erhu Niang hoped that her son would become a dragon, and when she heard that the child was not hopeless, she hurriedly asked: "My lord, why, how do you 'orange' him?"

"Oh, you mother-in-law, you are telling him not to run around at home." Erhu's father cast a look to suppress Erhu's mother, telling her not to make fools of her wife by opening her mouth.

Father Cen just nodded with a smile and didn't say much.

Sitting in the yard and chatting for a while, Erhu's father and mother got up to say goodbye. Cen's father invited them to stay for lunch, but Erhu's father refused, saying that he would go to the house where the straw stack was burned, and wanted to pay for the straw that caused the fire. Hu hurried down the mountain so as not to delay others from having lunch.

After sending Erhu away, Chaoan went home happily holding the bamboo dragonfly, and stuffed the bamboo dragonfly for his elder brother to play with.

Cassia: "..."

Erhu made a mistake and framed Chaoan. He is a real brat, but his parents are not brazen and know how to bring the kid over to admit his mistakes. Everyone forgives him this time because he didn't deliberately start a fire.

Putting the bamboo dragonfly in the palm of his hand, Caesar clasped his hands together, rubbed them violently and then let go, the spinning bamboo dragonfly immediately flew out of Cassia's hands and flew to the sky.

The spinning bamboo dragonfly can be said to be the earliest propeller. Thinking of the future helicopter, Cassia couldn't help but think of his brother.

Jue Ting has been fond of airplane models since he was a child, and has a lot of collections in his house.When he was in school, he always took time out to play with him. When he was a child, Cassia followed his brother like a follower, looking for him every day.

"elder brother?"

A cry brought Jue Ming's thoughts back to reality, and Chao'an held up the bamboo dragonfly, waiting for him to play.

"I have to cook, I'll play with you after making dinner." Jueming patted Chao An's head and walked towards the kitchen.

"Then, can we not eat green vegetables today?" Chao An said with disgust and apprehension on his face.

My brother said that eating green vegetables can grow up quickly, and only when you grow up can you go to the mountains or the city, but, but daddy’s fried vegetables are too unpalatable!

Now it's almost June, and there are many kinds of vegetables on the market. Cen's father often buys spinach, and Chaoan is afraid that he will be afraid of eating spinach.

Thinking of this, Jue Ming smiled slightly, "You can't be picky eaters, we eat vegetables and rabbits today."

"No!" Chao An grabbed Caesia Ming's clothes with both hands, and begged, "Brother! Little Hui and the others are so obedient, don't eat them!"

Xiaohui was the two little bunnies brought back from the mountain by Cassia Ming to Chaoan to raise and play with. Cen Chaoan named them himself, and went to mow grass every day for the rabbits to eat. Now they are fat and strong.

"You'll know later." Jueming ruthlessly pulled Chaoan's little hand away, and turned to Dongchu under his despairing eyes.

In order to protect Xiao Hui, Chao An didn't even play bamboo dragonflies, and went to the backyard to guard the two little rabbits tightly.

After a long while, the chimney of East Kitchen was smoking, and his brother hadn't come to catch the rabbit. Chao An curiously looked inside the kitchen door frame.

My brother is putting a steamer on the cauldron to steam the cakes.

——Don’t eat rabbits anymore?

Chaoan was worried, secretly watching his brother's movements.

Jueming took out the bacon bought from the county, washed it a little and put it on the chopping board, slowly sliced ​​it into thin slices with a kitchen knife, washed the garlic sprouts and cut them into sections.

Not long after, a burst of sweet smell wafted from the kitchen, bypassed the tip of Chao An's nose, and wafted outward.

"Brother." Chao An held back his saliva and walked towards the kitchen, "What's for lunch today?"

"You'll know later, come on, take out the empty bowls." Jueming stuffed a stack of bowls to Chaoan, unable to pry the words out of his brother's mouth, Chaoan put the bowls in the yard, and for a moment Afterwards, Jue Ming came out with two dishes of vegetables, looked at An, and saw that there were no rabbits or vegetables, so he felt relieved and went to call his father for dinner.

Cen Daonian was dragged out of the hall by Chao'an to wash his hands, and he put an envelope on the dining table, "It's a letter from Li Xiurong."

"Li Xiurong?" Jueming put the meal on the table, hurriedly stuffed the letter into his pocket, and went to the kitchen to turn on the steamer.

The steamer was quickly opened to one side, and the steam was billowing upwards. Cassia blew on the steam, and used small bamboo clips to pick out the cooking cakes on the grate one by one.

Only the palm-sized pancakes are colorful, with two long ears and black bean eyes.

Put the little rabbit cakes in a bamboo cake basket, cover them with cotton cloth, and take them to Uncle Shi's house.

In the past, Aunt Shi took good care of her family. Every time Jueming thought of something novel, she would serve it to Aunt Shi. Aunt Shi could always make inferences and make something more delicious.

The bunny cake was small and cute, and Shi Xiaohua was holding it in the palm of his hand, unable to eat it for a long time.

"Look at Jueming, you are better at steaming cakes at such a young age than you." Aunt Shi scolded her daughter mercilessly, picked up one and looked at it, the cakes were lifelike, her two little ears stood up, and she swiped her knife twice. A three-petal mouth came out.

Bite into it, the biscuit has a fragrance and a slight sweetness, but it's a pity that there is no filling in it, Aunt Shi thought there would be.

After delivering the cooking cakes, Jue Ming went home and put the rest in a basket and brought them to the dinner table.

"Xiaotu!" Chaoan jumped up, staring at Xiaotu's cake.

"Talk about eating rabbits." Jueming smiled and asked his younger brother to take a green bunny, "This one tastes like spinach."

Chaoan caught it, put it under his nose and sniffed it, there was no smell of spinach at all.

Saying sorry to Little Rabbit Cooking Cake in his heart, Chao An lightly took a bite of the rabbit's ear, but there was no taste of spinach either.

——Brother made the spinach tasteless on purpose!

"Brother is the best!" Chao An held up the pancake and ate it happily.

Father Cen told him to only eat three and not to eat too much. Hearing this, Chaoan sat on the wooden chair peacefully and slowly ate the buns.

After lunch, Jue Ming went out for a walk, and the small courtyard where Li Xiurong lived was still stuck in the mud and hadn't been repaired for a long time.

Naturally, the reclaimed wasteland in the back was also buried by sand, which was as thick as two meters high, and it was temporarily impossible to remove the soil by one's own strength.

At present, most of the houses with cracked roofs in Yangxian County have been repaired, and the thatched houses soaked in water are uninhabitable and have to be pulled down and rebuilt on the original site.

Thinking that Li Xiurong had sent a letter, Jue Ming sat down on a flat clod and took out the letter from his pocket.
