Defeat natural disasters with farming

Ye Yu and Chu Xufeng were dragged into his room by Ye He.

"Come and help me to see, what about the gift I'm going to give to Sister Ling?" Ye He happily took out a polished wooden hairpin from the cabinet.

It was made by him himself. One end is slightly pointed, and the other end is carved with a complicated magnolia flower.

After Ye Yu took it, he looked it over carefully. It should be peach wood, the color is yellowish. Although it is a bit rough, you can see the creator's intentions, because there is no wood thorn on it, and the tentacles are smooth, so it should be coated with a layer of rubbing. face oil.

Magnolia flower petals are even more lifelike, and I don't know how many times I have practiced.

Ye He said: "I went to my sister-in-law's house and asked my two cousins ​​to teach me. It took a lot of wood to make such a successful one."

Ye Yu handed the wooden hairpin back, "I think it's pretty good, sister Ling likes magnolia flowers?"

"Yeah, she likes magnolia flowers the most, and then peach blossoms." Ye He happily put the wooden hairpin back into the box. Ye Yu's sharp eyes saw that there was a letter in the box, so he couldn't help but chuckled inwardly. Brother, this is really enlightening.

"How is sister-in-law Pandi doing?" Ye Yu asked again after laughing.

When he came a few months ago, although Pandi's sister-in-law was not in good condition, she had changed a bit, at least she was no longer easily cornered, and her attitude towards sister Ru was much better.

After hearing the words, Ye He thought for a while and replied: "It's been good recently, the relationship between Xinghua and sister-in-law has returned to the past, and sister Ru is also raised by the elder brother and sister-in-law."

"That's good." Ye Yu was relieved.

They stayed in the house for a while before going out to help.

When Mother Ye saw them coming out, she waved and said, "Come and help."

Ye Yu heard his mother's words, and immediately went over to help her wash the vegetables. These vegetables were picked from the broken earthen pots on the kang, including cabbage leaves, lettuce leaves, leeks and peppers.

"What shall we have for dinner tonight?" Ye Yu asked his mother while keeping his hands moving.

Mother Ye washed the potatoes with their skins on, "I'm going to cook six dishes, two soups and two main dishes, which means perfection."

The six dishes are stewed chicken with mushrooms, stewed duck in iron pot, braised pork knuckle, pot of cured pork ribs, steamed mandarin fish and a refreshing dipping pickle dish. The juicy cucumber cabbage lettuce leaves are placed in a frame, and it is delicious to eat when dipped in soybean sauce. delicious.

The two soups are beef ball soup and tomato egg soup. The former is made with the leftover beef balls from Ye Yu's family, and the latter is brewed with the tomato sauce and eggs made a few days ago.

The staple food is multigrain rice and dumplings stuffed with chives and eggs.

The taste is very fragrant. Ye Yu especially likes the dumplings stuffed with chives and eggs. The leeks have just been pulled out, and they are green and tender. Once you bite into them, your mouth will be full of juice. The eggs are mixed with salt, which has a slightly salty taste. You can finish a plate of dumplings.

Ye He ate the pork ribs with great relish. He finally gnawed down a piece of meat and swallowed it into his stomach. Then he said with emotion: "It's hard to bite, but it's really delicious."

Seeing this, Mrs. Ye said with disgust: "You are so grown up, you still look like a child."

Seeing the table full of children and grandchildren, Old Man Ye and Mrs. Ye narrowed their eyes with joy. Hearing Mrs. Ye's words, Mrs. Ye hurriedly said, "You can relax at your own home, and you can eat as much as you want."

"Aren't I afraid that he will be rejected by his in-laws?" Aunt Ye let go, "Eat, eat, eat quickly."

Ye He didn't feel ashamed, so he continued to eat if he was allowed to eat, and said while eating: "Aunt Yue likes me so much, she said that if I eat, I can eat two more bowls of rice."

Needless to say, Ye Yu believed this. Ye He was tall and burly, and the so-called seven-foot man was not an adulterer at all. Ye Yu himself was close to 1.8 meters tall, but standing next to him was much taller than that. He lowered his head, he didn't care about his height, Ye He was still majestic, he was fine in winter, his skin turned white, and he looked like a good man, but when he got tanned in summer, he looked like a bandit, If it wasn't for his handsome appearance, Ye Yu really doubted whether Yue Ling would have taken a fancy to him.

When he eats, it is also very fragrant, which can arouse people's appetite. At least Ye Yu can eat two more mouthfuls when he is facing him.

Aunt Ye didn't even notice, she just looked away, and turned to look at the child in the rocking car, "Sister Ru is very well-behaved today, she slept soundly."

Pan Di said: "After feeding just now, she has been very sleepy these two days, and can sleep seven or eight hours a day."

Mother Ye answered, "It's always like this for children. Brother Bao was sleeping for ten of the twelve hours a day."

"It's not a big deal, Xinghua and the others are too." The second sister-in-law Ye said: "You don't know that when Brother Jing was young, he slept during the day and woke up at night, and his day and night were upside down all day long, so that my father and I couldn't sleep well, and he It’s okay to wake up, but I’m still crying and waking up Xinghua, hey, I don’t know how I got through it.”

From this, Mother Ye and the others chatted about parenting, while the men on the other side took out all the rice wine brewed at home during the Chinese New Year, drinking it now, and guessing from time to time.

At the end of the meal, there is only one dish of steamed mandarin fish left. After eating the fish, the fish head and tail are left, and the New Year's Eve dinner is considered finished.

There is still no need to watch the night this year, but Ye Yu's family has to live in the old house at night, and tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, which is also Ye Yu's birthday.

Fortunately, the house was enough, so they still lived in the original house.

Ye Yu lay on the kang at night and didn't fall asleep for a long time. He sighed and turned around lightly.

"What's wrong? Can't sleep?" Chu Xufeng's voice startled him in the dark.

Ye Yu answered him in a low voice: "Blame me, I shouldn't drink that cup of tea at night. I knew I couldn't fall asleep, but I just couldn't hold back."

That cup of tea was his homemade grape fruit tea, made of mountain grape jam and Pu'er tea leaves. He is full of energy now, and when he closes his eyes, his mind is full of miscellaneous thoughts.

"Did I disturb you?" Ye Yu said apologetically, "Why don't I sleep at the end of the kang."

Chu Xufeng patted his arm and said, "It didn't bother me, and I couldn't fall asleep, either. We might get sleepy after chatting for a while."

When it comes to chatting, Ye Yu really has something to say, he said in detail: "The capital city is Wangwangsi City, and there is Chenhui City in the south. I think Jingbian City where General Chu is located can also become an independent city."

"My father can't possibly agree to it." Chu Xufeng told him slowly: "Loyalty to the emperor is deeply rooted in his heart, and throughout his life he is just General Chu of the Jokhang Kingdom. For the emperor."

Growing up with the Four Books and Five Classics in elementary school, it would naturally be like this. Ye Yu understood it, and said regretfully, "So that's the case."

But he also thought that in the eyes of Jingbian townspeople, even if General Chu didn't have the name of the city lord, he still had the reality of the city lord.

At this time, what Chu Xufeng said was exactly what he thought, "There are a lot of people in Jingbian City, most of them are soldiers from that year, and the rest are sinners who were exiled to the border town. My father always treats them equally, so he has a great reputation in the city." Quite high."

The more Chu Xufeng talked, the more curious Ye Yu became, and now he wanted to visit Jingbian City even more.

"When the weather gets warmer, I'll take you to Jingbian City." Chu Xufeng promised.

"Okay." Ye Yu nodded.

After being quiet for a while, Ye Yu resumed the conversation. He turned his head and asked Chu Xufeng, "Speaking of which, you have reached the age of marriage. Didn't General Chu say anything?"

Chu Xufeng said calmly, "What can I say?"

Ye Yu didn't continue to ask, perhaps chatting could really induce drowsiness, they were chatting, Ye Yu closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, as usual, Ye Yu received his birthday gift after eating longevity noodles and red eggs, and he had all the clothes for this year again.

Seeing this, Mother Ye laughed and joked, "That's true. I never made clothes for Brother Bao. What he collected on his birthday was enough to wear him for a year."

Of course, when the other children in the family celebrate their birthdays, Ye Yu and his family will also give presents. For example, on Ye He's birthday some time ago, they gave them a cabinet and an iron pot, which were more than enough as betrothal gifts.

Mrs. Ye said: "I am willing to make clothes for Brother Bao. The clothes will be clean after two years of wearing, unlike Brother He, let alone two years. They will be dirty for a year. They can only be used as rag."

Ye He raised his head from the noodle bowl when he heard his name, "It's not because of me, so there is never a lack of rags at home."

"Yes." Aunt Ye said angrily, "Hurry up and eat yours."

This conversation caused everyone to laugh.

After laughing, Ye Yu's family was ready to go back. Father Ye went home one step ahead of time. After he went back, he first turned on the floor heater, and when the room heated up, the others came back just in time.

As soon as Ye Yu opened the door, he found a rainbow light appeared beside the door. He looked along, and it turned out that the sky finally cleared up, and the sun shone on the ice surface, flashing a rainbow light.

"It's sunny." Chu Xufeng said.

"Yes." The sky that had been gloomy for two or three months suddenly brightened, and Ye Yu was still a little unaccustomed to it, but as long as the warm sunshine fell on him, he instantly felt his whole body come alive.

The sky was clear, and it was time for Deputy Han and the others to leave.

"Thank you Brother Ye for taking me in." Deputy Han clasped his fists in gratitude and said, "If you are free, please come to our Morning Glory City once, so that I can show my friendship as a landlord."

"Definitely." Father Ye bumped his fists, "Then I wish you all the best of luck."

"Don't give it away, go back." Deputy Han waved.

Father Ye and the others watched Deputy Han and his party go away, and turned back when they could no longer see their backs.

At this moment, Ye Yu was holding the map specially drawn by Deputy Han for him to examine carefully. This is a road map from Yejia Village to the seaside. land.

After reading it, he put it in the box. With this one added to the box, there are already five maps. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, he must have it. Maybe he will go out in the future. It is better to have a map than to walk around by himself. better.
