Defeat natural disasters with farming

"Rong is four years old and can make pears. My younger brother Yu Chang is a prophet."

Mr. Ye waited for the students to shake their heads and read this sentence before he stroked his beard and asked: "I just said this sentence yesterday, is there anyone willing to talk about it?"

After finishing speaking, he swept his eyes down, and saw the students in the hall shrinking their heads like quails, lest he would call their names.

He just wanted to call a name at random when he saw Ye Minghui who was eager to shrink under the table, his eyes stared at him, and he was very angry. He didn't know how many times he had told his son this three-character scripture in private, but it was useful No, after entering school, it is not as good as other people who start from scratch.

Just when Ye Minghui was crying secretly, Ye Yu raised his hand, and after getting Mr. Ye's approval, he stood up and said loudly: "Once upon a time, there was a child named Kong Rong who knew how to cut a slightly larger pear at the age of four. Giving it to my brother to eat, the principle of respecting my brother should be known by everyone since childhood."

Ye Yu was also surprised when he said that Kong Rong was from the Han Dynasty. It seems that the dynasty he traveled through should be equivalent to the post-Han Dynasty in history, that is, between the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty.

After listening, Mr. Ye nodded in satisfaction, let Ye Yu sit down, and then continued to explain: "The Three Character Classic is not a profound knowledge, but there are many principles of doing things for people."

Speaking of this, he changed his mind again, "In addition to this, it also includes astronomy and geography, emperors of all dynasties, and ancient sages. If you really read it thoroughly, enlightenment alone is more than enough."

Ye Yu sat upright on the chair and listened very carefully.

After finishing today's progress, Mr. Ye let the new students leave. Next, he will continue to teach the two older teenagers. In a few days, these two will go to Heihe Academy for assessment. If they pass Then they will be able to officially enter the school. If it goes well, they will be able to take the county and government examinations in February and April next year.

Before Ye Yu left, he specifically asked, "When you go back, remember to recite what you said today. When I come tomorrow, I will ask someone to investigate."

After Ye Yu nodded, he put the books and pens and papers in his book bag and put them away. As soon as he went out, he saw his brother Ye He's face full of pain.

He twitched the corner of his mouth and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Ye He replied with a bitter face: "I didn't understand a word Mr. Ye said today, and I have to memorize everything. What if I get drawn tomorrow, won't he hit me on the palm again?"

When Ye Yu heard this, his eyes shifted, and he saw Ye He's red and swollen left palm, and sighed, "Brother, I will teach you how to recite it when I get home. You must listen carefully this time, and don't be in a daze."

His brother is good at everything, but he can't sit still, and he starts to wander off when he hears the teacher's teaching, but fortunately, he knows what he did wrong, and he is already working hard to correct it.

Moreover, he had already attended two or three months of school last year, but the progress was similar to those of them who had just entered school, so he studied together.

"I must listen well!" Ye He said firmly, patting his chest.

However, his determination disappeared before he returned home, because the three brothers happened to meet two sisters, Peach Blossom and Hehua, who were carrying baskets on their backs.

Ye Jing asked suspiciously: "Sister, where are you two going?"

"The spring bamboo shoots in the bamboo grove at the foot of the mountain are all sprouting. Now is the time to pick spring bamboo shoots. The two of us went over to pick some. My grandma told us to make fried bacon with bamboo shoots for us to eat in the evening."

Taohua raised the pannier on her back to signal them.

Ye Yu took a look inside and found that there were wooden chisels and a pair of cotton gloves inside.

Ye He immediately became excited when he heard the words, he took off the book bag, and said to Ye Yu: "Brother Bao, help me take the book bag back, I am really worried about the two girls going to pick spring bamboo shoots, I will accompany her Together."

Tao Hua rolled her eyes, and said, "You should go back quickly, there is no danger for us, no matter how dangerous it is, you are beaten by your husband every day."

In fact, to be honest, Ye Yu was also quite curious about the process of picking spring bamboo shoots.

So he also proposed, "I will go with you too."

Tao Hua heard his words, thought for a while before nodding, "Come if you want, but don't wear such nice clothes, you go home and change into older ones."

When picking spring bamboo shoots, you have to drill around in the grass, climb up and down the slope, and the dirt on your clothes will be light. Generally speaking, if you don’t make a few holes, you will be ashamed to say that you went to pick spring bamboo shoots.

Therefore, both of them specially wore old clothes that had been patched several times. If they were scratched by branches, they could just cut them and change them into rags.

"Okay." After Ye Yu replied, the three of them hurried home.

Seeing that Ye Yu was sweating from running, Mother Ye put down what she was doing, took a towel and wiped him off, "Run slowly and don't worry."

"Mother, I want to pick spring bamboo shoots with my eldest sister and the others."

"Go if you want, but be careful, don't go up the mountain, I'm going to find you an old clothes now."

After Ye Yu finished speaking, she hurriedly took out a cotton coat with three or four patches from the kang cabinet, and while Ye Yu was changing clothes, she filled another water bag and put it in the basket.

"Remember to drink water when you are thirsty. Oh yes, I also put a pack of goat milk cakes in it. You can fill your stomach a little bit if you are hungry."

Ye Yu sewed a layer of cotton pannier on the shoulder straps on his back, nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, mother, I will never be brave."

Mother Ye was waiting for his words, and when she heard this, she patted his head and smiled, "Go and play."

As soon as the mother and father walked into the yard, they heard Ye He's yelling from a distance, "Mother, I will definitely recite the book when I come back later."

Before the voice fell, Ye He rushed out like a gust of wind, almost knocked off the pan on his back. He stood beside Ye Yu and looked inside, "Why hasn't Brother Jing come out yet?"

"Do you think that everyone just pulls a piece of clothing and puts it on like you." Mrs. Ye glanced at him, walked over and put a few pieces of baked sweet potatoes into his back basket, "Remember to share with your brothers and sisters. "

Seeing this scene, Ye Yu couldn't help feeling embarrassed, it seemed more and more like going out for an outing.

Just as he was thinking about things, there was a sudden movement at his feet. He looked down and saw Xiaomi was biting his pants with his mouth.

He bent down and touched Xiaomi's head, "What's wrong?"

Mother Ye smiled and said, "Isn't it because the three of you went to the private school, and Xiaomi was waiting for you at the door every day, so it finally saw you and had to leave again, so it must be angry."

Ye Yu thought for a while, then put her face close to Mi Tie Tie, "Do you want to go out with us?"

Xiaomi barked twice and wagged its tail happily.

Seeing this, Mother Ye said, "It's good to be with you."

Xiaomi has now entered the growth period, and his body weight is getting bigger and bigger every day. Standing next to Ye Yu is quite intimidating.

Ye Jing came out after a while, and Ye Ersao walked behind him and asked, "Xinghua, do you want to go with your brothers and sisters?"

All the children in the family have gone, but it is somewhat inappropriate to leave only one person behind.

But Xinghua shook her head in the room, "I made an appointment with sister Xiu to go out to pick fruit."

Sister Xiu is the granddaughter of Mrs. Huang, and the two of them are as good as one person, playing together all day long, and Second Sister Ye doesn't bother them, after all, it's only a short period of time for girls to live freely.

If they got Xinghua, the three of Ye Yu didn't stay long, and took Xiaomi to join the two sisters.

Taohua saw them from a distance, waved and called, "Come on, I just saw many people walking towards the bamboo forest, if they go late, they might finish picking the tender spring bamboo shoots."

Ye Yu quickened his pace, and after they met, Taohua led them away, "Many things in our house are made of bamboo, the small ones are like bamboo cups and bamboo tubes, the big ones are like fences, and there are many things in the bamboo forest. There are a lot of delicious ones, there is a kind of white bamboo mushroom, which grows thin and long, although it looks inconspicuous, but it tastes quite good, and there is another kind that grows near the bamboo root, which looks like a net bag, and the stewed soup is especially delicious."

The place where the bamboo forest grows belongs to the slope, Taohua and Yehe go down with sticks first, and then turn around to pick up a few younger siblings.

Ye Yu was supported by Ye He and walked down. As soon as he entered the bottom of the slope, he felt a sense of coolness. He looked up and saw that the bamboo forest that had grown for many years covered the sky. According to his body temperature, the temperature inside was higher than that outside. Five or six degrees lower.

Reasonably speaking, outsiders may think that pulling bamboo shoots is a fun thing, but as long as you have experienced it yourself, you will know that this is not an easy job. There are various slopes, and if you don’t step on it firmly, you will fall.

The forest is very humid, and insects and birds can be heard from time to time, but Ye Yu is not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery, he is in a hurry, even his neat hair is messed up by the branches and leaves, and his hands and feet are full of mud.

Fortunately, all the hard work was rewarded, and the pointed bamboo shoots directly filled the two baskets.

Tao Hua straightened up and wiped off her sweat, threw the bamboo shoots in her hand into the basket, and sighed: "It's really not easy."

Ye He broke off the bamboo shoots with his left hand, and dug down with a wooden chisel in his right hand, once or twice, until the tip of his nose was faintly sweating, he pulled out the bamboo shoots, sighed, "Think about the delicacies that bamboo shoots can make, you can also eat them." I'm not so tired anymore."

Ye Yu and Ye Jing pulled out a bamboo shoot, and the speed was not too slow, and it quickly filled a basket.

And Xiaomi lowered his head and sniffed from time to time, and when he found bamboo mushrooms and bamboo suns, he called out, and Xinghua hurried over to pick them off after hearing it.

They were so tired that they stopped first, and Ye Yu took out the goat milk cake and water bag wrapped in oily paper from the basket, and shared the food with his brothers and sisters.

Ye He suddenly thought of something, he turned around and took out the crushed sweet potato from under the basket, and said with a smile: "I forgot that my mother put sweet potatoes in it, let's make do with it."

Peach Blossom and Xinghua also each took out food to share, and the few of them puffed up their stomachs a little and cheered up to continue working.

It wasn't until Ye Yu shivered from the cold that they gave up and helped each other to leave.

When they got home, Mrs. Ye saw their distressed appearance, quickly took the basket, and said, "I knew that you must be filthy, and the water has been boiled, so go wash it."

Ye Yu was taken away by Mother Ye, and she didn't have to do it herself, she only needed to soak herself in the barrel, so comfortable that she just wanted to fuck.

Mother Ye looked at his shoulders and found that it was just a little red, so she said, "It seems that the cotton cloth sewn on the shoulder straps is still a little thin."

Ye Yu shrank back shyly. When she saw it, she laughed and teased, "I haven't seen your whole body. I've seen your bare buttocks. Why are you so shy?"

"mother!"

"Okay, okay, I won't talk anymore, you soak for a while, and the clothes are put on the kang for you."

After Ye's mother closed the door and left, Ye Yu leaned on the barrel to soak for a while, then changed into clean clothes and went out.

"Give me the clothes basket, and you go help grandma peel the bamboo shoots." Ye Mu took the clothes basket with dirty clothes, pointed to the yard and said, "Go quickly."

Mrs. Ye was sitting on a stool with a basin of water at her feet. She was peeling off the bamboo shoots and putting them into the basin.

"Don't help me, I'll pack it up soon, brother Bao, you go to endorse with your brothers, especially your second brother, you have to supervise him well, if Ye Tongsheng comes home to complain next time, he won't be as good as him. "

Seeing that Mrs. Ye had indeed packed almost everything, Ye Yu stopped, took out the book bag from the room, and sat in the main room when Ye He and the others came out, and began to teach them word by word.

"One is ten, ten is a hundred. This sentence means that one to ten is the most basic number, then ten ones are ten, and ten ten are one hundred. Now we use this decimal arithmetic method..."

Accompanied by the sound of Ye Yu reading aloud, Mrs. Ye sighed while cutting bacon: "Brother Bao is really smart."

The bacon in her hand is yellow and red, very bright in color, and every piece of meat is transparent and shiny after being cut, making it even more attractive. During the twelfth lunar month, their family smoked a lot of bacon, and now they are hanging on a rope Under the eaves of the stove house, you can eat and take whatever you want.

Mrs. Ye paused when she cut the bamboo shoots, "Don't praise him, our children are all sensible, not just him."

While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted a few words, they kept moving their hands, and soon there was a burst of fragrance, which caused Ye He to look up at the kitchen without paying attention when he was reciting.

Ye Yu rolled up the book and knocked on him, threatening: "Recite the book quickly, if you can't memorize this paragraph, be careful not to ask you to eat at night."

Ye He reluctantly turned his eyes away, looked at the words on the book, and sighed, "This is the word I know, but I don't."

On the other side, Tao Hua was also teaching her two younger sisters how to read. Hearing what he said, she hated iron and said: "People say that the meaning will come out when you read a book a hundred times. Don't you read it a few more times?"

Ye He laughed bitterly upon hearing this.

I don't know how long it took before Mother Ye came in with the bowls and chopsticks, and said, "Okay, let's pack up, it's getting dark, let's eat first."

"Okay, let's eat!"

Ye He actively helped Ye Yu put the books into the bag, and then took them out to wash their hands. When they came back, the kang table had been unfolded, and all kinds of food on it were emitting fragrance.

A plate of fried bacon with bamboo shoots, a plate of minced meat with winter melon (there are too many winter melons in the house, and they eat winter melon every day recently), and a plate of tofu mixed with shallots. They are all large plates, enough for the family to eat.

As for the staple food, it is rice mixed with sorghum rice and white rice.

Ye Yu thinks that fried bacon with bamboo shoots and tofu mixed with shallots are both delicious. The former tastes mellow, fat and thin, and the bamboo shoots are not old at all. The combination of tender tofu and green shallots is a double satisfaction of vision and taste.

Winter melon meat mince is Ye Jing’s favorite dish. Use a spoon to dig a spoonful and mix it with rice. The finely minced meat mince will dye the rice slightly yellow. Put the winter melon and rice meat together in one bite, as long as After a while, he can eat up a bowl of rice, and he consumes most of the wax gourd at home.

When eating, Mrs. Ye said: "I put away the bamboo shoots and bamboo mushrooms first, and I will make soup for you tomorrow."

In fact, these two ingredients are most suitable for hot pot, especially bamboo mushrooms, which are delicious as long as they are slightly hot, and what you eat is the original taste.
