Wearing a mountain village tuff

In the new year, the drought that has lasted for several years has quietly faded away in people's minds.

Spring March.The green trees are sprouting new buds, and the grass is blooming with yellow flowers.The wheat that had been covered up all winter began to turn green and grow like crazy.

Birds chirped in the mountains, and people in the village were buzzing.New year, new atmosphere.

On the official road, jingling bells echoed.The ox's hooves fell to the ground slowly, and thick cotton grass was piled up on the wooden cart behind it.An old man was lying on the bullock cart, his face was rosy, but his hair was already half white.

"Ah Zhen, are we almost there?"

A small head emerged from the pile of heavy baggage. "Grandpa, I don't know."

"Why don't you know? When we left the county, didn't your father tell you what time we would arrive?"

The little guy is only five years old, with two buns on his head.One left and one right.It is tied with a red headband.Excellent facial features, round grape eyes, high nose bridge, small mouth.The baby's fat is round and round, and the talking mouth is pouted.Quite milky.

Hearing Grandpa's voice of not caring about anything, little Ah Zhen angrily buried her in the pile of baggage.

Simply leave it alone.

He is obviously only five years old, and Grandpa is already five years old.Ask him everything.

Who is the grandpa!

The old man didn't seem to notice the little guy's resentment, and continued: "If you want me to say, it's better for little Ah Zhen to stay at home. There is food and drink, so why bother to follow grandpa all the way here."

"Now I really dislike Grandpa. Who was the one who hugged Grandpa's leg and cried and made a fuss to follow?"

Little Ah Zhen hugged her chubby little bundle tightly, looking at the dimples on the back of her hands. "It's all my grandfather's fault."

"Hey, Grandpa didn't bully us, Ah Zhen."

Ah Zhen lay down on the thick car board, her eyes blushing slightly.

The bullock cart gradually drove into the entrance of Daquan Village, and the old man helped his waist up with an "ouch". "Little Ah Zhen, we are here."

Through the heavy burden, the little boy in the ox cart could only see the little red vest on his back.

Breathing slowly, as if asleep.

The old man simply ignored him and stretched himself at the entrance of the village.Give a long yawn.

Ye Baiyou was walking around the yard with a small hoe to loosen the soil and plant seeds.The fence was not high, so he just stood up and met the old man who was about to climb into his courtyard wall.

"What are you doing!" Ye Baiyou raised his hoe and yelled at the old man who had stepped into the fence.

"I'm still here, you dare to enter the yard. If I'm not here, you have to enter the door!"

Ye Baiyou approached the old man.

Seeing Ye Baiyou, the old man's eyes lit up.He smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, but looked kindly.

"It's like this, we are new people who moved to Daquan Village."

"I've walked all the way, and I'm thirsty." The old man looked at the water tank under the eaves of Ye Baiyou, his eyes flickering. "this is not……"

He seems embarrassed. "The grandson kept yelling that he was thirsty and couldn't do it, so he came down to find water to drink."

Ye Baiyou didn't believe it: "Really?"

The old man nodded fiercely: "Anyway, old man, I have lived most of my life. I can still afford the green brick and tile houses in your village. How could I steal for such a small profit?"

"Then you wait." Ye Baiyou thought for a while, then went in and poured out a bowl of water.

The old man stood outside the fence and took it, and he drank it in one gulp.

Finally, he wiped his white beard.Suddenly said: "Ouch!"

Ye Baiyou took a step back: "What's wrong?"

"I forgot about my grandson." The old man smiled shyly and pointed to the bullock cart outside.

Ye Baiyou went back and poured him another bowl.

Unexpectedly, the old man put his hands back and shook his head deeply.

Ye Baiyou was puzzled.

"Hey! I don't know, little brother, my grandson has a big temper and annoyed him on the way, so he is ignoring me right now."

"I'll bring it over, so I don't want to drink it." As he spoke, the old man squeezed his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes, "Please help me, little brother."

The more Ye Baiyou listened to him, the more he felt that this person was trying to kidnap and sell people to sell him.Maybe this face is fake.

"Whether you like to drink or not!"

As soon as the bowl was placed on the fence, Ye Baiyou grabbed the hoe and continued to dig the ground.

The old man smiled and shook his head, and continued: "Little brother, please watch over my grandson, I will go into the village to find my place to live."

After speaking, he left, and Ye Baiyou didn't even have time to call him to stop.

He's so agile, he looks more like a liar.

After planting some vegetables on the deserted land by the yard, it didn't take long before I heard a weak cry.

Ye Baiyou looked towards the road.

A pair of big round eyes shrank behind the burden.Only half of the head and a pair of small hands were exposed.It's as white as a jade doll, especially cute.

He looked across the road.The old man really dropped the child and ran away by himself!

"This man! He has such a big heart!"

Ye Baiyou was a little angry for some reason, put the hoe into the yard, and didn't even bother to go around the fence.After two steps, he walked directly to the side of the car.

The child retracted his head with a whoosh.

"Do you want to come down?" Ye Baiyou looked at the two little red buns and softened his voice.

"Ah, sister-in-law..." The little hands with fleshy dimples supported the burden, and the child showed his eyes again.After carefully examining Ye Baiyou, he stood up.

He struggled to move among the burden, and ran steadily to the side of the car.Opening his hands, he raised his head and smiled at Ye Baiyou.

"Sister-in-law! Hug Ah Zhen!"

Ye Baiyou looked at the child, who was clean and dressed like a New Year's doll.It was so loud that I didn't know who it was, but the voice was so cute that my heart trembled.

He leaned over and picked him up.

The baby is soft and has a sweet milky fragrance. "What's your sister-in-law's name, may I ask for you?"

Ah Zhen put her small hands around Ye Baiyou's neck, and rubbed her little bun's face against his.

"It's you, sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law, it's time."

"Sister-in-law, I'm so tired."

"Sister-in-law smells so good, just like my little daddy." The child said, with his fleshy face pressed against Ye Baiyou's neck, and fell asleep within a few breaths.

Ye Baiyou supported the child's buttocks with one hand, and pressed against his back with the other.

Just as I was about to carry him to the village, I turned around and saw the old cow still in place.

This old man has an unusually big heart.

Ye Baiyou thought for a while, but still hugged the child tightly to her bedroom.Putting the person on the bed, the child grunted and burrowed into his arms.

Ye Baiyou liked it so much, she put her face on the little guy lightly, and let go to cover him with a quilt.

After the beginning of spring, the elder and young master of the family recovered from his illness, but he didn't know where to go and went desperately.He was at home alone, lighting beans and weeding, and his days were fulfilling.

After getting up, the child seemed not used to it, and turned a few times on the bed.

Ye Baiyou patted his chest, waiting for him to fall asleep before going out to continue.

The day of March in the lunar calendar is already warm.It's really the best time for the weather, and all farm work has to be done right now.

Ye Baiyou's several hundred coins.But just to buy these seeds, I went to another fifty dollars, and I couldn't live well.

After quickly finishing a part of the yard near the fence, Ye Baiyou inserted the cut branches along the gap between the soil and the fence.

In case children come over, it can also prevent them from running inside.

On the field ridge, a lot of mulberry leaves have been issued.

The income of the village, besides farming, is growing mulberry and raising silkworms.But there are only so many crop fields, and mulberry trees are not everywhere.Those who are more diligent will run up the mountain to find some wild mulberries to raise.

It's not that Ye Baiyou hasn't thought about it, but the first one, he doesn't grow mulberry trees at home.

People in the Ye family mainly rely on going to the town to find some ready-made jobs.Otherwise, cheating a little bit can make life better.So these painstaking things have really never been done.

Ye Baiyou felt a little helpless when he thought of the lush mulberry trees on the ridge of his field.To raise silkworms, first plant mulberries.The further you go to the back, the more the silkworms eat.If you just rely on the mountains to find it, the source is not stable, and you may starve to death someday.

There is no other land for him to plant mulberry trees.Except for the paddy field outside the yard and a large gravel field next to it.

The soil quality here is not good. Although it belongs to the Ye family, the Ye family only planted it a few times and stopped planting it.The first reason is that no food can be produced.

Ye Baiyou stood on the fence and looked at the dirt he had just turned over.His original intention was to plant seeds along the fence, and the future pumpkins and winter melons would be drawn directly to the fence.

But if all these vegetable seeds were thrown into this radish pit, wouldn't it be a waste of the seeds he spent so much money on?It's better to disperse and use this land by the way.

If the soil is not good, it will be replaced with a field, and if the field is not fertile, it will be turned into a fish pond.He also wants to eat some lotus root and get some lotus seeds.It is better to replace it with a pond than to be deserted.

He thought about this for a long time, and now he finally made up his mind.

Just finished working, the old man came back.

"Brother, is my little grandson at your house?" The old man didn't see his grandson, so he was still in a hurry.

Ye Bai teak made a face: "Yes. Uncle, who takes the child back and throws the child aside."

The old man smiled. "His uncle is following, if you don't believe me, look."

Ye Baiyou turned around, and at some point a man stood by the ox cart.Ye Baiyou was startled by the tall and burly man.

"I'll go get him out."

"Hey! Don't worry, let him sleep for a while. The little guy hasn't slept much during this journey. He has worked a lot." The old man said, his face still distressed.

Only Ye Baiyou thought so weirdly.

What's the matter, you need such a young child to work hard?What do you eat every day?

"I found out where my home is. It's the brick house at the outermost part of the village. My little brother will come to visit you when you have time. I'll go back first."

Ye Baiyou waved his hand, feeling more and more that the old man was irresponsible.

After a while, the old man walked to the back of his house and said to the young man pulling the ox cart beside him, "Ah Duan, what do you think?"

A Duan pulled the cow and nodded upon hearing this.

The old man laughed loudly and stroked his beard: "Okay, okay..."

There was emotion in his tone, with a slight tremor: "That's great."

Someone heard his voice, and the old man smiled kindly at him again.It seems that the neighbors I have known for many years, but I don't see them at all.

The people who came out to look at it all smiled back, and retracted their heads in embarrassment.

Ye Baiyou's house, the open bedroom door.

After waking up, the little Naituanzi dressed herself and sat down on the threshold with her hands resting on her cheeks.

A pair of glazed eyes followed Ye Baiyou's figure around the yard.

"Sister-in-law-"

"Sister-in-law—" the milk whimpered, attracting Ye Baiyou's attention.

"Why are you sitting on the ground?"

Ah Zhen smiled sweetly at Ye Bai, grabbed the door frame with both hands and stood up, walking towards Ye Baiyou.

"Sister-in-law." The hem of the clothes was grabbed by the little hand, and the child turned up his steamed bun face, full of sincerity.

Ye Baiyou rolled his eyes and held back for a long time, but he couldn't hold back.He lightly poked the little meaty face with his fingertips.The face is slightly sunken, smooth and tender like an egg that has been peeled off its shell.

"Little friend, you have identified the wrong person." Ye Baiyou let go of his hands.

"It's sister-in-law." Ah Zhen lay on Ye Baiyou's lap, resting her feet on Ye Baiyou's lap, looking at his face persistently.Compared with the portrait he saw, it was exactly the same.

Ye Baiyou only thought that he had admitted the wrong person, and leaned over to grab the child's armpits and hugged him.

Little Ah Zhen rolled her eyes, and immediately hugged Ye Baiyou's neck.

He leaned his head sideways on Ye Baiyou's neck, smelling the fragrance of sister-in-law, and liked it very much.

"Come on, I'll take you home."

Little Ah Zhen pouted. "No, I want to play with sister-in-law."

Ye Baiyou opened the yard door and bumped the coquettish little boy. "Your grandpa just came here and just moved here. Why don't you go and see what the house looks like?"

Ah Zhen rubbed Ye Baiyou's chin with her forehead. "Never."

"My home is right here, and I can't run away. I just want to come and play in the future." Ye Baiyou patted the little baby on the back.

Who doesn't like a well-behaved and delicate cub.

"Okay." Ah Zhen limply lay in Ye Baiyou's arms without moving.After a while, Ye Baiyou found the green brick house at the outermost part of the village.

Before knocking, the door opened.It was the man who appeared next to the bullock cart out of thin air.

"Your child, I sent it over."

"Thank you."

Ye Baiyou put the child on the ground and watched him walk into the house step by step.

Looking across the green brick courtyard, it was obviously a house that had not been lived in for a long time, and the old man had taken on a new look not long after they came.Looking at the bonsai trees and the blue bricks on the ground, there is not a trace of dust.

Maybe the house has been cleaned up long ago, but they don't know it.

After returning the little guy, Ye Baiyou immediately drew a range outside the yard after returning home.After looking over and over again, the pond planning was completed so neatly.

There is half a meter of road between the pond and the farmland for people to walk, and a distance of two to three meters from the courtyard wall. Mulberry trees can be planted around the pond, which can provide shade in summer and can also be used for silkworm rearing in the future.

After delineating the area, Ye Baiyou didn't care about the pond anymore.

Put the basket on your shoulders and go into the mountains to dig spring bamboo shoots.

Now is the season when bamboo shoots come out.In addition to those who are busy with farm work, those uncles and aunts will go to the mountains to dig bamboo shoots whenever they have free time.So Houshan can always see sporadic people who come out together.

There will be more bamboo shoots, and the county will sell more.Although two or three Wen a catty is cheap, if you dig more, you can also subsidize your family.

Ye Baiyou's family originally had four or five acres of land, but because the Ye family didn't want to plant it, they sold part of it.All that remained was the field of winter wheat planted near the mountain road, and the yard connected to the field outside.

Therefore, compared with those farmers with as few as four or five acres of land and as many as thirty acres of land, the work in the Yebai pomelo field is much less.There is also more time to dig bamboo shoots.

"Brother Youyou, you're going up the mountain again." This hearty voice sounded like Aunt Zhang's house next to Chang'an.

Ye Baiyou responded with a smile: "Yes."

"There are not many fields at home, so there is nothing to do when you are idle."

Aunt Zhang was carrying a hoe, and the more she looked at Ye Baiyou, the more she liked it: "It's good, it's good."

I passed by and said hello.But it's much better than those who shrink their necks and hide when they see themselves.

Chang'an is now studying, and Uncle He often stays in the county.On the contrary, several of Lizheng's children and grandchildren came back.Ye Baiyou didn't know them well, and as soon as he got close to the fence of his house, someone from inside came to chase them away with sticks.

It's good that the old man is at home, but Ye Baiyou doesn't even want to pass by that house when he's not at home.

He shook his head silently with his back on his back.

Such a deep-seated influence!

Every time a new group of people came back, he, Ye Baiyou, would be looked down upon by the new group of people.Over time, he got used to it.

After entering the mountain, some people leaned over to talk to him.But most of them saw him turn his back in a hurry, protecting the things in the basket.

Ye Baiyou pretended not to know, and went to a place a little away.

From years ago, Shen Twelve, who had been on mission until the year after, came back.Sitting on the bamboo grove and looking at the clearly divided group of people below, not only felt sorry for his master, Fu Lang.

What a man to be treated like this.

The bamboo forest in spring is lush and verdant.On the verdant bamboo leaves hang the small raindrops that have not yet fallen, which wet the people who pass by in a hurry.

Ye Baiyou is dressed in a blue thin cotton bunt, the bright color is like bamboo leaves green into fine.

"Look, that shameless person is here again."

Ye Baiyou spends a lot of time in the bamboo forest, so naturally some people are jealous when they see it.

Glancing at the speaker, Ye Baiyou took a few more steps before putting down the basket.The person who spoke just now was not from their village, but from Xiaoquan Village next door after climbing over a mountain.

He is a well-known widow in eight villages within the range of Hushan Mountain.

He is the same as himself, wherever he goes, he is alone.This bamboo forest stretches for miles, so it is not surprising that people from other villages come here.

Lizheng said that the mountain cannot be completely excavated.People in the village rely on mountains to eat mountains, so they naturally understand this truth.This area belongs to the scope of Daquan Village, and the people in Daquan Village abide by it, but the people outside may not.

Ye Baiyou looked at him like he was digging out a mouse hole, almost turning over a large piece of soil behind him.The red and black soil was overturned on the surface, and it seemed that they wanted to dig up all kinds of seeds.

"Ye Baiyou, I saw this place first, you have to look elsewhere!"

Ye Baiyou was several meters away from him and pretended not to hear him.

The original body's reputation is a little weaker than this Qiu Liuer's, they are all notorious, not bad.Looking for trouble, I am not afraid of him.

Only Shen Twelve, who was following Ye Baiyou on the bamboo, was worried. "Who is this old monster? So ugly!"

As soon as the hoe went down, Qiu Liu'er swung her waist and came down from a position a little bit uphill.Seeing that his shoulder was about to be pushed, Ye Baiyou raised the hoe.

"Come on! Try it yourself!" He looked at the person in front of him with a blank expression on his face.

To tell the truth, Qiu Liu'er married for the third time, and then became a widow again.That's how Kef's reputation became.Although there are more than 30 people now, they are still as young as a brother in his early twenties.

Slender waist, long legs, and a big butt.With a small cherry mouth and fox eyes, she looks charming.To today's people, he is already considered the age of an old man, but he is even more charming.

No wonder so many men are willing to offer money automatically just to get in his door.

However, no matter how good-looking he is, it's not very good to provoke him.

Seeing the hoe in front of her, Qiu Liu'er chuckled, and moved her hand towards Ye Baiyou's hoe.But there was an evil light in his eyes: "If you have the guts, try it."

He breathed out like blue, threatening people like venting anger. "If you hurt me, I'll find ten or eight men and smash your house down."

Lightly tap the hoe up with the hand, and turn towards Ye Baiyou's face without falling to the ground: "Give you...to..."

He mouth-shaped the last two words.

Shen Twelve's complexion suddenly changed:

"Old monster! How dare you say that about my son Fulang!"

"court death!"

The silver needle in his hand is ready to go.

The next second, Ye Baiyou threw the hoe, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth at him.Laughing endlessly, Shen Twelve thought he had seen Shen Wujing when he saw it.

He withdrew his hand with an "ah", folded his arms and watched the show slowly.

Qiu Liu'er looked at his face, jealousy flashed in her eyes.His fingers became claws, and he scratched Ye Baiyou's face without warning.

Little bitch, why does he have such a pretty face!

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Ye Baiyou grabbed his wrist and twisted it back, and slapped him backhand with a "slap".

Hands are slippery and disgusting.

Ye Baiyou quickly waved his hand, seeing that he still wanted to arrest someone.Just kick him in the stomach!

Qiu Liu'er's angry roar that hadn't come out because of being slapped was instantly kicked back by this kick.I got mad right away.

"Go crazy, don't go crazy with me."

Ye Baiyou quietly looked at the person lying on the ground clutching his stomach and writhing so hard that he couldn't cry out, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth. "I'm not those people on your bed, I have to hold you!"

Leaving this sentence behind, Ye Baiyou had no choice but to change to another place.

Qiu Liu'er's eyes are sinister, no one in ten miles and eight villages would dare to show Qiu Liu'er face to face.

He looked around, grabbed his hoe and chased after him.

The footsteps behind were hurried, and Ye Baiyou turned around abruptly.

The hoe came down on the head.

The melon seed shell in Shen Twelve's hand shot out instantly, heading towards the man's wrist.

Qiu Liu'er's hands went numb.

The hoe fell and lost its strength and hit Ye Baiyou's shoulder.Ye Baiyou grabbed the hoe and pushed the man with his backhand, hitting him on the back.

"Ye Baiyou, you little scum, you're still pretending to be clean after being rotten! What's the difference between you and me!" Qiu Liu'er screamed sharply, grabbing Ye Baiyou's hair.

"Why, why!"

Ye Baiyou was in pain, but he didn't expect him to play this way.His hair ached, and he was furious.

I didn't read the almanac when I went out, and I met a lunatic directly.

Ye Baiyou was in pain, and without thinking about it, he quickly plucked the other person's hair: "Crazy, if you want to be beaten, I will give it to you."

Qiu Liu'er yelled non-stop, and poked his eyes with her long nails even more vigorously.

Ye Baiyou pinched his finger and snapped it, causing Qiu Liuer to cry in pain.

"Little whore! You bastard in the gutter! I want you dead."

"Damn your sister! I hope you don't poop!" Ye Baiyou countered coldly.

The two quickly wrestled together.

Shen Twelve was startled and flew down.But just halfway there, I suddenly thought of something Shen Wujing said that should not be revealed.He hurriedly climbed up again, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and shot them down.

Using internal strength, Qiu Liuer's acupoints were excruciatingly painful.

The roaring sound quickly attracted others, and the footsteps in the bamboo forest were messy.

When they saw the way the two fell to the ground, pulling their hair and pinching their leather, the people who came over slapped their legs and ran towards the two of them, touching the bamboo.

"Come here! There's a fight!"

"It's Brother Yu, quickly pull away!!"
