Wearing a mountain village tuff

After getting off the mountain, Ye Baiyou walked around to Xiao Zhenguo's house and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" The lazy voice sounded like the old man's.

"Sister-in-law!" With the joyful shout of Little Zhenguo, the door opened.

Ye Baiyou nodded to Duan who was by the door, and her feet were hugged.The child was hanging on his lap with his hands and feet off the ground.

Ye Baiyou patted the child's hairy head twice. "Little Ah Zhen, come down, be careful not to fall."

The child's calf curled up like a little monkey stepped on the ground.

"Sister-in-law, you are finally back."

"I promised you Chun Ya, I'll bring it to you right now." Ye Baiyou put down the basket and took out half of it.

"Sister-in-law, there are too many!" Xiaotuanzi shook the red hair rope on his head, "Only grandpa likes to eat this stinky thing, but he has bad teeth and can't chew it, and he can't eat too much over."

Little A-Zhen was like a little adult, with her dimpled fleshy hands merging the pile of hands that Ye Baiyou brought out, grabbing about the size of his wrist.

He looked at the weight in his hand and nodded like an old hand: "That's enough."

Ye Baiyou couldn't help but laugh. "That's not enough for a meal."

Little Ah Zhen hurriedly pushed the rest back to Ye Baiyou, and gave the rest to Ah Duan.

"Smelly! Grandpa especially likes to eat stinky things." Ah Zhen disliked it.

Ah Duan took it, and Ye Baiyou clearly saw Ah Duan's expressionless face, with the corners of his mouth drooping a lot.

It seems that I don't like it either.

"Okay, what Grandpa told me is done. Thank you, sister-in-law."

The child often calls himself sister-in-law, even in front of the elderly at home.

Ye Baiyou squatted down and picked up the little guy who was looking forward to raising his hand again, and said softly, "You can call me uncle, or brother."

The little guy shook his head.

The old man let out a "hey" and said, "It's right to be called Sister-in-law. If you are an uncle or brother, it is Sister-in-law."

Ye Baiyou didn't expect that the child would be like this, and the old man was still talking nonsense.But thinking about how the old man looked after his children, it's not impossible to teach indiscriminately.

"Old man, Ah Zhen is still young, how can she teach me carelessly." Ye Baiyou held back for a long time, but still couldn't hold back her words.

The old man smiled leisurely on his rich face.

"Where is the chaotic teaching, my grandson, I wanted to promise it to you."

"Such a capable brother is rare now."

Ye Baiyou's head was full of black lines.

Why does everyone in the village mention his other half, not to mention that he doesn't even know what his grandson looks like, so why does he teach the child to call himself sister-in-law.

If it wasn't for seeing the little guy and falling in love with him, how could he say such a word.

Seeing that there was no sound at the door, the old man let out a long sigh: "Oh, my grandson is still enlightened. If you don't come back, be careful that your husband runs away with him!"

Ye Baiyou was speechless.

This weird old man.

The neck tightened, and the little guy hugged him tightly with a lotus-like hand.Tears blurred: "Sister-in-law, can you run?"

Ye Baiyou pinched his chubby face and said with a smile, "Not only can I run, but I can also jump."

Ah Zhen twitched her cheeks, and pressed two small hands into Ye Baiyou's. "No!"

Ye Baiyou chuckled and hooked the bridge of his nose. "You are quite domineering."

Ah Zhen snickered, hugged Ye Baiyou's small body and swayed like a baby. "Sister-in-law-"

Ye Baiyou protected his back, her eyes were soft: "Okay, do you want to go to my house to play?"

"go with!"

"Grandpa, I'm leaving!"

The old man's distasteful voice came out immediately: "Let's go, go, hurry up, it's so noisy every day."

"Hee hee." Ah Zhen leaned over Ye Baiyou's shoulder, and rubbed her soft face against Ye Baiyou.

He likes sister-in-law very much.

Only then did Ye Baiyou turn around with the child in her arms, her eyes serious: "It is agreed in advance that I have something to do in the afternoon, and Ah Zhen will go home in the afternoon."

"Okay, okay."

Hearing his excited tone, it was clear that the little guy didn't listen to his own words.

-

For lunch, knowing that children don't like the taste of toon buds, I didn't make this.He simply ordered a bowl of noodles, took a rest after eating, and then went to Bai's house first.

After asking the old man Baiguanshan, he knew that his father-in-law's family in the next village had a large lotus field.Ye Baiyou thanked him, and grabbed a handful of the toon buds he brought with him.

Just a few steps out, the two were chased out by Bai Xiaojiang and stopped.

"My father said that you are going to Xiaoquan Village. I just happened to visit my uncle and the others, and I will send you there by the way."

Ye Baiyou was delighted: "That's a good relationship."

The three of them went together, and in order to save time, they took the steep mountain road at the back of the mountain.

Xiaoquan Village is different from Daquan Village, because it is in the mountains, the terrain is higher than Daquan Village.Surrounded by mountains and mountains, the arable land is not as much as that in Daquan Village.So there is less to eat, and people are poor.

Fortunately, not everyone knows how to adapt, and some people in Koizumi Village are trying to find a way to make a living and start growing valuable crops.

Such as ginger, lotus root and the like.

But still the same sentence, the land planted is not fertile land, but mostly reclaimed land.Therefore, the output is not good, and it is barely enough to subsidize the family.

After turning over the mangosteen forest, there are a few pine trees on the top of the mountain.Walking along the path in the mountains, the mountains on this side are mostly rocks.

The further you go down, the fewer trees there are.The villages in the mountains can be seen more clearly.

Unlike the flatness of Daquan Village, the houses are contiguous.Xiaoquan Village is mostly single-family households, and most of them are still hidden in the woods.

After descending the mountain, on the road in the middle of the village, the sound of dogs barking kept ringing.

"There are a lot of dogs in Xiaoquan Village." Twelve heard his voice, and there were no less than five dogs.

People have nothing to eat, and so many dogs?

Bai Xiaojiang had a wry smile on his tanned face: "No dog, no way."

"The village is poor, so there are a lot of people stealing. Like my uncle, if he grows a lotus root and throws some fish in, he will lead the dog and fall asleep by the pond."

"Chop off the thief's hand after catching him, scare him, or he won't be fine." Twelve said casually.

If the punishment is heavy, people will have a long memory.

Bai Xiaojiang: "It's not that easy."

He shook his head and said no more.

Ye Baiyou paid attention to the huts in Xiaoquan Village that were even more dilapidated than Daquan Village.At a glance, many old people are sitting in front of the door basking in the sun with yellow and emaciated faces, looking weak, as if they haven't had enough to eat.

"Don't people in Xiaoquan Village know how to receive food?"

When Bai Xiaohe saw these old people, his heart became numb.Every time he comes back, he will see such a scene, which is why he seldom comes here.

"I don't know where." He sighed, "They couldn't walk, they were taken by those who went out."

"Some young people who still have a conscience will send some back. Those who have no conscience will search their homes and leave these old people to starve to death at home."

"If someone hadn't kept shaking, the house would have been overturned."

Twelve pouted: "So heartless."

Ye Baiyou glanced over the faces of those gray-haired old people.It seems that the village is too poor, and the young people can't survive and all go out.Without the young and middle-aged to grow crops, the elderly can't grow much.Over time, it gets poorer and poorer.

Several people were walking on the road, and people looked over from time to time.

The road was originally going down, and then started to go uphill.When the woods in front of me were gone, the white light was dazzling.When I came out, it was another family.

"arrive."

The three of them stopped, and Ye Baiyou looked at an old thatched hut in front of him. The dry grass hanging from the eaves was already brittle, and the ends had turned black, hanging on the eaves would not fall off.

The two huts are side by side, surrounded by a fence made of wooden sticks, which is as tall as a person.

"Old man, who's here?"

"Auntie, me!" The two old people were getting old and their ears were a little deaf.But if they can survive, the couple are not ordinary people.

"Ouch! I said someone, you old man still don't believe it."

Maybe the ears can't hear, the two people are talking a lot.

The wooden door of the courtyard was opened, and the tidy courtyard came into view.

"Uncle, aunt."

"Let me see, who is it?" the hunchbacked old man muttered, he walked in and half-closed his eyes to see Bai Xiaojiang's appearance.

The old man put his hands behind his back, Lele Taotao: "It's Ah Jiang, come in."

"Old woman, cook something for A Jiang. You must be tired after walking here." He muttered alone, like an old scalper who was busy with his work, and brought two stools out of the room.

"The back is Ah Jiang's..."

"Uncle, it's from our village. Dad brought it here. I want to ask you for some lotus root seedlings."

"What?" The old man yelled, turning his ears sideways.

"Lotus seedlings, order lotus root seedlings!" Bai Xiaojiang yelled back.

"Oh..." The old man slowed down by half a beat, and then he seemed to understand, "Lotus seedlings."

He happily patted his thigh: "Yes, yes, there are a lot of fields!"

"Let's go, the old man will take you there." As he spoke, the old man hunched over and put his hands behind his back.Huhu slowly lead the way.

"My lotus root has grown well this year. The drought has killed a lot, but it can grow a lot with a little bit, and this is the time for my son to germinate."

"There are many in the field, there are many." He muttered to himself, with a smile on his face all the time.

Bai Xiaojiang either responded with a few words, but the old man couldn't hear clearly.He said to himself again.

Seeing him like this, Ye Baiyou felt that the old man had seen through life.Live a simple and happy life, more transparent than anyone else.

The lotus root field is on the hillside, and the old man spent a lot of effort to get it out.

All they walked were the outskirts of the village, the terrain was high, like standing on a low cliff looking at the valley.Suddenly, a person came out of the room directly opposite here. His clothes were messy and his red lips were slightly swollen.

It's Qiuliuer.

He smiled more happily than anyone else on his beautiful face. Looking closely, there was a money bag dangling on his thin white fingers.

Bai Xiaojiang turned his head and saw it.

With a serious face, he said to the two brothers in front: "Let's go quickly."

Ye Baiyou knew that he was worried that Qiu Liu'er would come up again.At that time, everyone in the village knew about Ye Baiyou's fight with others.But Ye Baiyou is not an ordinary brother, he is not afraid.

Qiu Liu'er seemed to have seen Ye Baiyou, and raised the object in her hand to shake it at him.Smile provocatively.

Ye Baiyou ignored him, and instead asked Bai Xiaojiang: "Didn't the man whose Aunt Zhang divorced in our village go back to Xiaoquan Village?"

"It should be back to Koizumi Village."

"Who? Who are you talking about?" The old man could hear the voice behind him indistinctly. He was tired of talking alone and wanted to talk to someone.

Knowing his old uncle's temperament, Bai Xiaojiang also shouted back: "Zhang Ping count!"

"Oh..." The old man understood.

He started to mutter again: "Zhang Pingshu. That little brat wants to steal Lao Tzu's lotus root, so don't beat him to death."

Bai Xiaojiang: "This happened a few years ago."

"I saw him a few days ago, and now he and Qiu Liu'er are together again."

"Oh...and said he was going to support him, and went to work in the county."

Ye Baiyou was surprised: "He still has this determination?" The Zhang Pingshu he knew was lazy at home and playing tricks outside.People who eat free food when they can.

Otherwise, in the village, Aunt Zhang would not be seen going out to work alone.

"What? Louder! I can't hear you old man."

Ye Baiyou smiled and yelled again.

The old man sneered "Hey". "Believe it or not, Zhang Pingshu followed Qiu Liuer every step of the way when he was young."

"But later on, they got engaged and broke up again."

Twelve holds a dog's tail grass in its mouth. "Still engaged?"

"No wonder." Ye Baiyou nodded.The love for Qiu Liu'er, but the resentment for Aunt Zhang.

When I arrived at the lotus root field, the weeds that had been growing everywhere just now disappeared.

The weeds on the edge of the field were torn clean, while in the field, small round leaves floated on the water.There are also many pointed leaves that have not yet been stretched.

"How much you want, dig it yourself."

The pannier that Ye Baiyou carried was already empty.Lotus root grows fast, and his pond can't grow much.Ten plants may be enough.

Ye Baiyou was about to roll up his trousers when he was immediately glanced at by two elder men.

"I forgot that you are brother. A Jiang Lane! My brother's family should be more careful outside, don't imitate Qiu Liu'er and ruin the reputation of the whole village."

Ye Baiyou let go of the hand that fell on the trouser leg.

All right, he'll save trouble if he doesn't go down.

"Ouch, where did these maggots come from? They came to our Xiaoquan village to drill things."

Under the lotus field, Qiu Liu'er in a purple shirt came up from below.Waving a white feather fan in his hand, his figure twisted like a snake.

"Look, it's Ye Baiyou, that big bug."

The old man walked around the shore to check his lotus fields.By the way, the newly grown weeds were torn off.He turned his back and couldn't hear.

On the other hand, Bai Xiaojiang straightened up and looked at the people on the ridge defensively.

Ye Baiyou gave him a calm look, and looked at Qiu Liu'er. "I haven't seen you in January, why are you so fat?"

Qiu Liu'er rolled her eyes, she looked very graceful.

He slowly approached Ye Baiyou and bumped his butt unexpectedly.

Ye Baiyou immediately pulled Twelve back to the side.

"what--"

Ye Baiyou put on a show: "Oh, why are you so careless, you fell into the field."

The lotus root that has been raised for several years, the silt in the field is deep and fertile.The soil is thin and dark, and it will pimple if you stay in it for a long time.

Without Ye Baiyou's obstruction, Qiu Liu'er rushed into the field sideways.His head fell upside down, and half of his body fell into the mud.

He let out a cry, and shut his mouth tightly because of the mud on his mouth.

Lie on his side for a while, seeing that no one paid attention to him, Qiu Liu'er angrily got up.

I wiped off the mud on my face with my hands, but I didn't know that there were more hands, and the more I wiped, the dirtier I was.

Bai Xiaojiang saw that there were no lotus roots over there, and Ye Baiyou had the upper hand.He didn't intervene either, and worked diligently to tear his lotus root seedlings.

Ye Baiyou folded her arms and watched Qiu Liu'er struggling in the field for a long time, but she couldn't pull her legs out.

He curled his lips: "I've never seen such a stupid person like you. It's been a long time, and you haven't gotten up from the field. Look at this lotus leaf. If you step on it, you will lose money."

Twelve: "Losing money!"

Qiu Liu'er originally wanted to see Ye Baiyou's fun, but she never thought that she would become someone else's fun instead.He clapped his hands down, and the black water covered in mud splashed.

It fell into his eyes with a slap, and Qiu Liu'er went crazy:

"Ye Baiyou!!"

"Grandpa is here." Ye Baiyou sat on the edge of the field and watched the fun, without any dirty water on his body.

He grabbed the dog's tail grass in Twelve's hands, and nodded at the half-white and half-black clay figurine.Smiling like a flower, she didn't hide her gloat at all:

"Why, stealing a chicken is not enough to lose a lot of rice, so you will be punished."

"You!" Qiu Liu'er couldn't bear his provocation, and viciously stretched out her hand to grab it.

Ye Baiyou abruptly withdrew, and Cao Zizi nodded provocatively.

Unable to move her feet, Qiu Liu'er slammed herself into the water again, grabbing a handful of mud.

Ye Baiyou glanced at his clenched hands, and still had the heart to sneer: "Tsk tsk tsk, look at this little jet-black figure. Don't say it, it's quite unique."

No matter how hard Qiu Liu'er tossed about, in the end she could only growl.

"You wait for me! Ye Baiyou!"

Ye Baiyou chuckled, grabbed a handful of soil and sprinkled it on Qiuliu'er. "To ward off evil spirits, to ward off evil spirits."

"Pooh!"

"Ahhhhh!!"

Ye Baiyou prevented him from throwing things up, and pulled Twelve to the other side, not forgetting to sarcastically say: "Don't call you "ah", not even Grandpa."

The old man was still focusing on weeding with his back turned to him. Ye Baiyou walked up to him and pointed at Qiu Liu'er who was still throwing a temper tantrum and patting the water.

The old man who was kind just now turned around, and instantly he was gone!

"Qiu Liu'er! You little bastard!" muttering, the old man looked around the field.

Ye Baiyou smiled softly at Qiu Liu'er who was looking terrified, and handed over a wooden stick at the right time.

The old man grabbed the wooden stick and waved it, the sound of breaking the wind was very sharp.

"Little bastard! I can't allow you to spoil things that I have carefully served."

"It's fine if you don't offend me. I have to break your leg right now so that the old man of the Qiu family can teach his grandson well."

Now Qiuliu'er couldn't stand upright, like a mouse seeing a cat and flopping about in the water even more vigorously.He pulled out his legs and rolled onto the shore.I didn't even care about my shoes, and ran with bare feet.

"Ye Baiyou, just wait!"

"You dirty little maggot, I won't believe Ye until I get it back."

"My surname is my surname. Grandpa doesn't like you as an unfilial grandson."

Ye Baiyou followed closely beside the old man, watching him run down the hill with his thin legs flapping.Staggering, his hands were still pulling up his pants.He snorted: "No, the Ye family doesn't like you."

Twelve stood behind him and said coldly: "Or, just poison him to death."

Ye Baiyou slapped her backhand.

Twelve let out an "owwow" and covered his head resentfully.

Ye Baiyou poked him between the eyebrows, and said in disapproval: "Children, what are you doing? If you have such a leisurely mind, it's better to take a basket and go to the mountain to pick fungi."

The old man didn't hear the muttering behind him, he watched Qiu Liu'er's figure disappear completely, and then threw the stick in his hand down the slope:

"Bah! Little bastard. If the ancestors of your Qiu family knew what you did, they might not get out of the coffin."

Ye Baiyou thinks so deeply, even if he dies, he will be so angry that he will come back to life.
