Wearing a mountain village tuff

Harvesting persimmons costs two cents per catty.Chestnuts cost three pennies per catty.

Seeing the endless stream of people going up the mountain, Ye Baiyou didn't stop thinking about going up the mountain.

"Sanggong! Come here!"

In the firewood room, Ye Baiyou's clear voice came out.The people who scrambled to pass by Ye Baiyou's yard with baskets on their backs all smiled heartily.

The relationship between Brother Yu and his man is really good.

"Fulang." Shen Wujing appeared behind Ye Baiyou and called softly.

Ye Baiyou turned around and smiled at Shen Wujing.He pointed to the pot-bellied jars neatly arranged in the woodpile. "Sir, help me move."

Shen Wujing looked at Ye Baiyou with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Close your eyes."

Ye Baiyou was puzzled, but she still closed her eyes obediently.The big hand on the head flicked past, and a soft veil was pasted on the face.From forehead to neck.The rustling sound continued.

The feeling of closeness made Ye Baiyou's heart itch.

Shen Wujing looked at whether her brother was going to hide or not, and rubbed his long trembling eyelashes with her fingers.Only then said: "Okay."

Ye Baiyou immediately opened his eyes, watching the man take a step back.

Shen Wujing scanned the dusty wood all around, except for the Yebaiyou in the middle, which was out of place and translucent white.

"Hide what?"

Ye Baiyou tilted her head: "Who is hiding?"

Shen Wujing pushed aside the broken hair on the side of his ear, and gently twirled the rosy earlobe.She said with a slight smile, "Look, it turned out to be embarrassing."

Ye Baiyou's eyes flickered, and he immediately looked back aggressively. "You are ashamed!"

Shen Wujing chuckled, and embraced her in her arms.Smoothed out the fluff that had blown up on his hair.The voice coaxed softly:

"Okay, stop teasing Fu Lang."

"Just now there was dust on Ayou's face, I'll wipe it off for you."

Ye Baiyou gritted his teeth, looked at the man's smiling face and grabbed the nearest place and bit down.The voice was chattering, and he stared fiercely at Shen Wujing.

The man's deep voice was like a spring, and his laughter flowed.

"Why are you so fierce?"

Shen Wujing rubbed her fingertips against her brother's rosy eye ends, then gently moved down the side face until it landed on his chin and scratched it gently.

He coaxed: "Hey, my teeth hurt."

Ye Baiyou let out a muffled snort, just as if he was admitting defeat.

Letting go, he straightened up.

But the arms around his waist locked him in his arms like a copper wall and iron wall, and he could only look like a Pippi Shrimp who had been poked in the back, half naked.

Shen Wujing's chin was hooked lightly as if teasing, Ye Baiyou squinted: "You are not convinced!"

Shen Wujing hugged him tightly with both hands.He lowered his head and touched his brother's forehead. "Fu Lang—"

Ye Baiyou snorted.

Hooked the man's neck and lowered it.With a tiptoe, he kissed the corner of the man's lips.When it was over, he rubbed the back of Shen Wujing's head a few times like a dog's head.

"Hey, my husband, don't prostitute yourself in the daytime."

Shen Wujing: "Yes."

Shen Wujing looked at her brother's lips, which were as red as the freshest cherries.With dew, it becomes clear.

He sighed and kissed gently. "Reciprocity is courteous."

Ye Baiyou let out a soft "huh" and tightened her grip on the man's neck with a slight tremor.Leaning on the soft bones.

The lips are slightly parted, allowing him to be presumptuous.

As the sun slanted to the west, the two of them came out of the woodshed in a gray cloud.

The clothes were disheveled, with a lot of sawdust and dust.Five large tanks that could hold people were moved down by the two together.Neatly placed by the gutter in the yard.

Ye Baiyou wrinkled his dusty nose, and just about to wipe it off, he found his palms were pitch black.

The eyes were suddenly covered by black shadows, and the white obscene clothes flashed across the eyes.The tip of the nose itch.

"Are you more comfortable?" Shen Wujing looked at him, her obsidian-like eyes seemed focused and deep.

Ye Baiyou looked at his sleeves which had become dusty after just wiping them, and said amusedly, "It's not only better, it's much better. Thank you, Young Master Shen."

"Called Mr. Xianggong." Shen Wujing supported the back of Ye Baiyou's head, and wiped it for him again.

Now, Ye Baiyou looked at his sleeves and couldn't laugh anymore. "Dirty."

Shen Wujing: "It's nothing.

Ye Baiyou: "It's not you who washes."

Shen Wujing: "I'll just wash it."

Ye Baiyou smiled. "Fair and generous."

Shen Wujing also curled the corner of her mouth: "A husband is a good teacher."

"Then my husband brings the water now, and I'll wash the jar." Ye Baiyou wanted to wash out the big jar with his body.

"As ordered." Shen Wujing turned around and went to work.

Shen Wujing holds water, and Ye Baiyou wipes the jar.With the washing of the water, the big water tank revealed his original appearance.

It is reddish brown, with some white carp and lotus patterns on it.Lifelike, it looks like it was carefully fired by people.Ye Baiyou touched the cold wall of the tank, and the tip of his nose suddenly felt pantothenic.

Can't tell why.

When Shen Wujing watched worriedly, he blinked his long eyelashes to suppress the moisture in his eyes.

When everyone came back, they happened to see those wonderful large water tanks.

"Brother Youyou, the water tank in your house is good."

Grandpa Wang Tongyue of the Wang family looked at the reddish-brown water tank, and suddenly said: "Isn't this your grandma's dowry back then?"

Big Ya followed behind him, holding Erya by the hand.He also carried a small basket with him.The persimmons inside are big and yellow, orange and red.

Ye Baiyou grabbed the handkerchief and straightened up, looking at Grandpa Wang with puzzled eyes: "My grandma's dowry?"

The grandpa of the Wang family said with emotion: "When your grandma was here, I took it out every year to dry it. It's so precious. Such a big water tank is worth two to three hundred yuan now. I thought your parents sold it. "

Ye Baiyou recalled.The original owner's memory does not have anything about Grandma drying the water tank.But he himself vaguely remembers that when he was a child, he often squatted in the water tank in his hometown to hide and seek.

Ye Baiyou guessed that the old couple hid it because they were worried about this, so they could only smile and said, "How can I sell Grandma's dowry?"

He had originally picked up the baskets on the warehouse, but he didn't step on them properly, so he tilted his body and knocked out a few bundles of firewood piled up beside him.

The firewood that hadn't been used for many years could not withstand being smashed, and it fell apart in an instant.

And a corner of the water tank that had been hidden in the deepest part for an unknown number of years was also exposed.Out of curiosity, Ye Baiyou dug them out with a stick twice before pulling them apart.

Maybe the couple saw it, but Ye Baiyou didn't know why it wasn't sold.

He scanned the baskets on the backs of several people, seeing that they had been reciting for a long time, and asked with a smile, "Are you going to sell persimmons and chestnuts?"

Grandpa Wang nodded: "Sell, just wait for Brother You'er's words."

During the busy farming season, everyone guards the crops to live.A year's harvest depends on the weather.No matter how good the service is, the harvest is only enough to make ends meet.

Now the work in the field is easier, and there is an opportunity to subsidize the family, and everyone will not let it go.

They all want to make money, and there is no shame in being generous.

The Yebai pomelo water tank was also washed, and Twelve came back from playing at Xiao Zhenguo's house.But looking at the little head outside the fence, it was not enough to play at Little Hazel's house, and he brought the little guy again.

"Twelve, come and help me weigh it."

"Okay!" Twelve grabbed the little guy in his hand and ran away.

After finding someone, Ye Baiyou smiled to the neighbors in a circle: "Persimmons cost two cents a catty, chestnuts have to be peeled off the outer thorns, and three cents a catty. Let's keep the accounts first, and everyone will come tomorrow." Pick up the money."

When everyone heard it, there was nothing unwilling.Weighing their own baskets and estimating their weight, they lined up consciously.

Don't be in a hurry, it's too late to enter the mountain today anyway.I can't rush out this trip.

Ye Baiyou entered the room and brought out the scales, baskets, bookkeeping paper and pens, tables and stools with Shen Wujing.

After washing his face again, Twelve was already busy.

The posture spread out, and Ye Baiyou and Shen Wujing went to help each other.Ye Baiyou kept the accounts, Twelve weighed them, and Shen Wujing freed up the things and put them in her own basket.

A basket is full and then moved into the house to make room.

Everyone watched him lift a basket of things by himself, and exclaimed: "Brother You, your husband is really strong."

"No, the guy in my family can lift it up in one breath, but he can't walk into the house so easily."

"Look, he's not breathing!"

Ye Baiyou listened to the discussion, with a smile in his eyes, and concentrated on recording the account in hand.

Little Zhenguo looked busy here, stood on Ye Baiyou's hands and supported her knees, and whispered: "Sister-in-law, I'll ask Uncle A Duan to help."

Saying that, the little guy ran away.

Ye Baiyou just wanted to chase after him, but A Duan came out from nowhere.Take the child in his arms and put him in the yard.On the other hand, he silently brought in a frame such as a pannier brought outside.Help Shen Wujing pack and carry things.

Little Ah Zhen giggled and circled around the big water tank in the yard, while Little Jin Zi who was listening to the movement next door pouted.

"Aniang, go to Brother Ye's house!"

Du Juan washed the rice on his hands, looked at him and smiled: "Look for your father to take you there, your mother and I are just hard workers. I can't play."

Little Jinzi stamped his feet, hugged Du Juan's leg and hung himself up. "Let's go together, Mom, while Dad cooks."

"Then you call?"

Little Jinzi didn't move, and shouted into the room at the top of his voice: "Daddy! Cook! I'm playing with Auntie!"

When Zhao Shangniu came out of the house, he looked at his wife and children calmly like an old scalper.Then he took what Du Juan was holding. "Go."

Du Juan laughed, and picked up the cub on his lap. "Let's go, I'll take you there."

"Agree beforehand..."

Xiao Jinzi quickly answered: "Don't make trouble for Brother Ye!"

Du Juan patted his son's head affectionately: "It's good to know."

They brought them to the yard of Ye Baiyou's house.Du Juan greeted Ye Baiyou and went home again.

The two children got together and chatted for a while.Then I was attracted by a lot of persimmons in the house.The yellow ones spread all over the ground one by one.

The two of them squatted on one side, every time Shen Wujing and A Duan put in a little bit, they would take the initiative to put the persimmon in place.

This game, also played until dark.

The crowd dispersed, and Ye Baiyou looked at almost one page of paper in the ledger.

"It's more than 300 catties."

"I'm going to find someone to start working on it tomorrow."

Twelve leaned over to Ye Baiyou's side, and glanced at the bill. "Brother Yuzu, do you have enough copper coins?"

"Enough, I will bring some over there tomorrow."

"How about the persimmons?"

Ye Baiyou looked at the thing that occupied most of the bedroom, and said, "First, peel it."

Twelve pointed to the board: "So many!"

Ye Baiyou nodded: "So I have to invite people to come, it's to generate income for the folks."

Twelve nods.

-

Early the next morning, while Ye Baiyou was eating, he heard many people entering the mountain.

They were either holding sacks or carrying baskets, dragging their families with them, and it was very lively.

The mountains in autumn are also extremely gentle.With a warm light, he spread out all the results that he had been brewing for a year.It nurtures the creatures of this land, and is also respected and loved by the people and animals on this land.

"Revere nature and protect nature." Ye Baiyou looked at the distant figure and chuckled, "To live in harmony is a long-term plan."

Shen Wujing swept across the mountains outside the house, watching the withered and yellow leaves interweave among the green trees.He smiled and looked at his husband.

"Ayou is awesome."

Ye Baiyou glanced at him, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up: "Sir, do you want another bowl of rice?"

Shen Wujing stopped laughing.

He's a little stuck.

The news was released last night, and my aunt and uncle are here today.Peeling, twenty yuan a day, comparable to people who move things in the county.

Someone willing to come, the job is easy.Some people prefer to go to the mountains to look for it, and they can make more money in a day.

But there are still three people.

Bai Xiaojiang's husband, Aunt Du Juan, Uncle He.Exactly three people.In addition, Ye Baiyou and the others are free to help, and there are enough people.

In the yard, the peeling team arrived at the same time as the bullock carts from the restaurant.

"Thirteen is here." Twelve drove the chicken out of the yard and waved at Thirteen.

Thirteen stopped the bullock cart and handed a box of exchanged copper coins to Ye Baiyou. "lady."

"Have you eaten yet?" Ye Baiyou asked.

Thirteen nodded, and then went back to work seriously.

They are all family members, so there is no need to greet them yourself.Ye Baiyou carried the money box back into the house.

The aunts who brought their own knives were already sitting by the basin.The persimmon brought back yesterday was undulating in the water, the size of a fist, but the fruity flavor was particularly strong.The whole yard is full of fruity aromas.

Aunts and uncles are all quick workers, and they start peeling the persimmons after washing them.

Ye Baiyou put the sieve next to them, and reminded: "Uncle, Auntie, don't break the stems on the persimmons."

"I know I know."

They occupy one side of the yard, and the remaining half is the place where low tables and stools are set up for harvesting persimmons and chestnuts.

"Ma'am, where do you put the water tank?" Shisan held a large water tank upright like a baby, poking his head over from the belly of the tank.

Seeing this, Twelve hooked his fingers at Thirteen, whose mind was getting rusty every now and then. "follow me."

The bullock cart was vacated, and the rest of it was full of baskets.

There were almost no people going down the mountain in the morning, and Ye Baiyou was also free.Pushing Shen Wujing to do his own thing, he put the already peeled persimmons on the set up stool to dry.

In order to prevent the sand from blowing, a layer of gauze was also covered.

In the afternoon, there were suddenly more people.

The folks chatted and moved forward along the team.The bamboo baskets on the back and the sacks in the hands are full.

Ye Baiyou looked at the smiles on their faces while keeping accounts, and felt warm in his heart.Compared with the folks who had a yellow face and thin skin, and their eyes couldn't see half hope, they are more like living people now.

The movements in the yard proceeded in an orderly manner, and the baskets piled up behind them were getting fuller and fuller.

"Brother Yuzu, there are so many, can we sell them all?"

After Twelve weighed the last person, Ye Baiyou counted the copper coins and gave them to him. After the person left with a happy face like a Chinese New Year, Twelve asked Ye Baiyou in a low voice.

Seeing Ye Baiyou's eyes, Twelve quickly added: "I definitely believe in Brother Yuzi."

Ye Baiyou just smiled: "Little Twelve, do you know what you look like now?"

Twelve: "What?"

Ye Baiyou said, "The groom."

Twelve puzzled: "Why do you look like a groom?"

Shen Wujing came over, saw Twelve who offered to give up the position next to his husband, and said kindly: "You flatterer."

Twelve murmurs, it took a long time before he said unconvinced: "I'm not flattering!"

Ye Baiyou grabbed the man who was blocking her in front of her, and pulled him to the other side of her.Then he looked at the courtyard where there were no other people, and said to Twelve:

"Persimmon cakes can be stored for a long time, even if they are saved for Chinese New Year, that's fine. Our restaurant can't sell them all, and if they don't, they can be sent to the south to buy." He nodded his chin to the man sitting next to him, " Hey, isn't there still a big Buddha sitting here, there are so many shops in his house, are you afraid you won't be able to sell them all?"

Shen Wujing paused while playing with her brother's finger movements, and added: "It's also from your family."

Ye Baiyou didn't care about him, and continued: "What's more, we look at a lot. Four catties of persimmons only produce one catty of persimmons, and they will shrink a lot when they are made."

Shen Wujing hooked Ye Baiyou's finger, and came to a conclusion: "So, Twelve, you worry too much."

Twelve: "Got it."

Seeing his husband and wife talking to him so tiredly, I don't know why my heart is sour.With a muffled grunt, he immediately went back to the kitchen to cook.

Ye Baiyou turned her head and faced the dirty man beside her.

With fingers hard, he held his big hand and spread it out on the table.The fingertips searched inch by inch in the palm of the hand.

Shen Wujing put her husband's white fingers together, and said with a smile: "Why, take advantage of me?"

Ye Baiyou: "Impossible?"
