The little man on the apex

Ping'an Village is built next to mountains and rivers, and the water flows from the west. The section that passes through Ping'an Village is called "Lanxi" by everyone. It is called "Huaishou Mountain".

There is a peach blossom forest at the foot of the mountain. A student said this morning that the peach blossoms bloomed in the forest, as if they bloomed overnight.

Of course, Yuan Xi would not miss the opportunity to go out to play openly, he would drag Yan Heyi to the Peach Blossom Forest, and make serious nonsense about "I am a person who cherishes flowers" and "one of the great pleasures in my life is to appreciate flowers" , The children in the private school couldn't sit still anymore, clamoring to go to the Peach Blossom Forest.

Today I taught a new poem, the words are a little more difficult than the ones I learned in the past, the children don't understand very well, and even the words that have been repeated several times can't be pronounced correctly.

Yan Heyi was a little sullen at first, and she bowed her body to teach one by one, with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, but now that Yuan Xi teased them so much, the children were all distracted, and they learned even more slowly.

During the lunch break, Yan Heyi rarely looked at Yuanxi in the yard with her chin resting on her chin. Instead, she sat down at her desk and wrote a detailed pronunciation and annotations of the poem for each child.

When it was time for school to end again, the children had all put away their books, pens and ink, and their legs were already exerting force, and they were about to rush out when Yan Heyi finished speaking the last sentence.

Before Yan Heyi could finish her sentence, she stopped suddenly, and the hall became strangely quiet.

He was angry in his heart, and his face was cold at best, but for some reason, the children sat up straight and lowered their heads, as if they were waiting for a reprimand.

Yan Heyi was also a little surprised. He asked himself that he had never reprimanded a student too harshly, and even when he was the most angry, he never resorted to tricks such as copying books for punishment, or beating hands.

Why do children seem to be a little afraid of themselves?

The atmosphere was already so strong that Yan Heyi had no choice but to suppress the surprise and distress in her heart, and reluctantly put up her husband's airs: "I didn't learn this poem well today, so I still need to study it more. Everyone should copy the poems and notes when they go home. Once again, I will check tomorrow."

The children secretly exchanged glances, but still no one dared to speak.

Yan Heyi felt that she couldn't hold back any longer, and hurriedly said, "Let's leave school."

Seeing the children leaving quickly, Yan Heyi smiled silently, turned her head, and saw Yuanxi's big white teeth.

Yuan Xi usually smiles with crooked eyebrows and eyes, but this time the corners of his mouth are raised, but his eyes are still round.

Judging from Yan Heyi's experience, this was definitely a standard smirk, so she pretended not to see it, and lowered her head to pack the desk.

Yuan Xi froze from laughing, so he could only say: "Brother, it's all because of me that they didn't listen to class today, so you can punish me."

With a low voice, he added: "As long as my brother calms down."

Yan Heyi thought: Am I angry?How can you be angry every day?Why are the children afraid of me, and why is Yuanxi afraid of me?

He became more and more bored, and frowned unconsciously.

Yuan Xi took the ruler hanging on the wall and stuffed it into Yan Heyi's hand, then raised his hand cautiously, put his palm up in front of him, and said with lowered eyes, "Brother, hit me on the hand."

If he was two points angry because the children didn't pay attention to the class, and Yuan Xi was three points angry for disturbing the class, then Yuan Xi was very angry at this moment of aggrieved and apologetic.

Yan Heyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and put the ruler on the desk.

I don't know what kind of material this ruler is made of, but there was a crisp sound when it touched the desk, which scared Yuan Xi into a fright.

I obviously didn't work hard!

Yan Heyi cleared her throat, and said in what he thought was the gentlest voice in her life: "I'll take you to the Peach Blossom Forest, okay?"

Yuan Xi rolled his eyes, and couldn't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth: "Well, good!"

When Yuan Xi pulled her sleeves and walked out, Yan Heyi always felt that she seemed to have been fooled by this little villain again.

On the way, Yuan Xi walked briskly and hummed softly, "Brother, are peach blossoms delicious? How about compared with Sophora japonica?"

It turned out that he was thinking about eating.

Yan Heyi smiled and replied: "It's not sweet, it's not as sweet as Sophora japonica, but it can be made into wine, peach blossom rice wine."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi begged Yan Heyi to make it for him, and brought a big basket over on the way home, ready to pick peach blossoms.

Walking along the river, I looked up and saw a red cloud, and the peach blossoms were indeed in full bloom.

There are not many people in Ping'an Village, but the village is very big. There are many flower and tree forests in the village. Because this peach blossom forest is on the edge, it is extraordinarily large, which is twice the size of the loquat forest that Yuanxi went to before.

A layer of petals has fallen on the ground, and the breeze blows, and the petals are still falling.

There is no cloud in the sky, but there is rain on the ground, peach blossom rain.

Yuan Xi was a little obsessed with watching, and dragged Yan Heyi back and forth in the peach blossom forest, pressing down a flower from time to time to sniff.

Well, not as fragrant as Sophora japonica.

This person who cherishes and loves flowers has enjoyed enough flowers, so he starts to pick them, and he only picks the big ones with intact petals.

Yan Heyi's tone was a bit helpless: "When people see the beauty of flowers, they will stop to look at them, or pick a few carefully and put them in a bottle, but my family, Yuanxi, thinks how delicious these flowers are. They are more greedy than cats."

Yuan Xi from his family made an exaggerated grimace, took off a few petals and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Not sweet, slightly astringent in the mouth, but after careful taste, there seems to be a fragrance."

In fact, he felt that the flower was not delicious, but because of face, he still seriously talked nonsense.

Seeing him stuffing a few petals into his mouth again, Yan Heyi hurriedly stopped and said: "Although peach blossoms are not poisonous, eating too much will hurt the spleen and stomach. If you eat more, you will have diarrhea."

Yuan Xi had petals in his mouth, he didn't chew them, he didn't chew them, he was stunned for a moment, then he turned around and spat it out.

"Brother, I seem to be poisoned."

Yan Heyi rubbed his head: "Don't worry, peach blossoms are non-toxic, you only eat a few petals, it's fine."

Yuan Xi clutched his stomach, with a pained expression on his face: "But my stomach suddenly feels uncomfortable. Didn't you say that eating peach blossoms hurts the spleen and stomach? I was injured, and the spleen and stomach were hurt."

After finishing speaking, he squatted down, Yan Heyi panicked, reached out to touch his forehead, touched his stomach, and said softly: "Is it really uncomfortable? Take your time, I will take you to the medical center .”

Yan Heyi went to help Yuanxi, but Yuanxi shrunk down forcefully, and said with a flat mouth: "Brother, you don't need to go to the medical clinic, it's just a little uncomfortable, and it will be fine in a while."

He was still worried, and asked several times, Yuan Xi said it was all right, but he suddenly lost strength, so he squatted down.

"Brother, the peach blossoms are almost ready, let's go home."

Yan Heyi now understood that the little ancestor didn't want to walk and wanted him to carry it.

I don't know if Yan Heyi wanted to change her image in Yuan Xi's heart, or he was too soft-hearted, in short, this time, Yuan Xi succeeded again.

The sky is already full of red clouds in the west, but the sun is still lingering and reluctant to set.

Yan Heyi put the bamboo hat on Yuanxi's head, and carried him easily.

Yuan Xi was wearing a large bamboo hat and a bamboo basket full of peach blossoms on his back.

Even on someone's back, Yuan Xi didn't stay quiet for a moment, he looked around shaking his head, and stretched out his hand from time to time to reach for the freshly grown wild fruit on the tree.

Behind the two of them, the sun swayed for a long time, and finally set.

-

In the morning, after Yan Heyi had breakfast, she went to the kitchen to make peach blossom wine. Yuanxi felt strange and followed to the kitchen.

The glutinous rice has been soaked overnight, and it swelled slightly. Drain it and wash it in clean water. Then put it in a steamer with a cloth and poke a hole in the middle with a rolling pin.

Steam in cold water for two minutes, and then spread out on a large wooden plate to dry. The wooden plate must be water-free, oil-free, and absolutely clean, so that the brewed wine will not have a strange taste.

When Yan Heyi was doing this, Yuanxi had already cleaned the peach blossoms picked yesterday, and they were spreading them out to dry.

After the peach blossoms are completely dried, mix them into the cooled glutinous rice, and then sprinkle some wine koji. After mixing completely, take a water-free and oil-free white porcelain jar, put the glutinous rice mixed with peach blossoms, and put it in a cool place. fermentation.

Yan Heyi cut out a piece of paper and wrote the words "Peach Blossom Wine" on it. Yuanxi also dipped some ink and drew a crooked peach blossom.

Tiptoeing to put the jar on the high wooden shelf in the kitchen, Yan Heyi told Yuanxi some common sense about wine making, saying that the peach blossom wine would have to wait for more than a month before tasting it, but Yuanxi seemed to be aroused Worm, clamoring for a drink.

After school ended in the evening, Yuanxi brought up this matter again at the dinner table, saying that he was "used to drink alcohol at home" and "my parents taught me how to taste wine since I was a child." Another white porcelain jar was removed.

The jar was opened, and the aroma was tangy. There were still three characters on the jar, which were "green plum wine".

"This was brewed at the end of spring last year, and it's just right to drink now, so I'll give you a taste."

There was no special wine cup at home, so I poured it into a small porcelain bowl, two bowls of amber green plum wine.

Before entering the mouth, there is a faint green plum aroma. After entering the mouth, it is sour and sweet, with a strong fruity aroma.

Yuan Xi squinted his eyes slightly, savored it carefully, and flattered at the right time: "This green plum wine brewed by brother is really wonderful!"

Seeing him like this, Yan Heyi really believed his words that he drank alcohol since he was a child, and took a sip of the small porcelain bowl in front of him.

He believed Yuan Xi's words that the green plum wine was wonderful.

"Can my brother know how to drink alcohol?"

Yan Heyi replied: "Ya Ling? I know a little bit."

Yuan Xi waved his hand: "What's the fun in Yaling? Drinking is a pleasure, but it's boring to quote from the scriptures and choose words to make sentences. Shall we follow the order and make fists? Fifteen or twenty?"

Yan Heyi shook her head, as if she had never even heard of it.

Yuan Xi became more interested: "Close your fist for ten, open your fingers for five, and call out "fifteen and twenty" when ordering, and then add the number you want to call after it, which can be five, ten, fifteen, twenty , such as shouting "fifteen twenty-five". "

"When calling out the number, stretch out your hands. The number drawn on your hand cannot be the same as the number you shouted in your mouth. If it is the same, it will be negative. You need to drink a glass...a bowl."

"Does brother understand?"

Yan Heyi smiled: "Understood, but just a few strokes is enough, if you drink too much, you will complain of abdominal pain again."
