Rebirth of the backing and eating mountains

As the largest village in the vicinity, Qingshan Village has mountains and rivers, fertile fields, and is relatively rich. There are quite a few wealthy households in the village with tens of acres of land under their names, but the only ones who can be called landlords are the Anfumin family .

To say that the Anfu people’s family was only small and had a small property at the beginning. When the generation of Anfumin’s grandpa happened to catch up with the change of dynasties, there were many wars and many young men in the village were conscripted into the army. They never came back.Because no one was farming, many fields in the village became wasteland. His grandfather bought a large piece of wasteland at a very low price and became the biggest landlord in Qingshan Village.

Anfumin's father is also good at business like Anfumin. These years, the family has not only a lot of land, but also a little more, and the income from the field alone can be several hundred taels a year, not to mention that they also bought a few shops in the town. Rent is a big income.

An Fumin's husband Lang's family is also in Qingshan Village, his name is An Jingle, and his elder brother An Jingsheng is An Chun's father.

An Jingle gave birth to two fathers and one elder brother for An Fumin. The eldest son An Zeshi is 17 years old and has just come of age. The younger brother An Xuwen is only 7 years old. What makes the couple most proud is this little one Grandpa An Chengyou.

An Chengyou is 13 years old this year. He is studying at the Bailu College in the town. He is talented, studies hard, and his writing is appreciated by his master. On weekdays, there are a lot of Shuxiu gifts, and during the New Year's Day, they have to prepare a generous gift. This time, An Fumin sent someone to deliver the gift to his wife, and brought An Chengyou back with him.

Halfway through the carriage, we ran into An Yuan and An Ren. The two of them had a lot of things in their hands. In addition, the three of them were about the same age, and they were playmates since childhood, so they hitch a ride.Although since An Chengyou entered school, the three of them have less contact, but their relationship is still there, talking and laughing along the way is also lively.

Although An Fumin is a landlord, he is not mean, especially when dealing with his father and son, he is seldom restrained, so An Chengyou's temperament is less arrogant than ordinary rich people, and he often goes up and down mountains and rivers with the village children. For fun, Yasui always told him to calm down and "stop messing with the poor ghosts in the village", but he didn't take it seriously.

An Chengyou had a good time with An Yuan and An Ren, so he became acquainted with An Ling naturally, and even had more contact with Song Chu.Because of his foreign surname, Song Chu was rejected by the children in the village. He was a bit cold-tempered and didn't like to play with anyone except An Ling.An Chengyou is two years older than Song Chu, and I don't know why, every time I see Song Chu with a sullen face, I want to bully him. He said some harsh words about "fool" and "idiot". After a long time, Song Chu respected him at a distance.He was itching in his heart again, always trying to tease others, and in the end, Song Chu didn't even show his face.

At first, he didn't understand, but later he learned the characters and read the books, and understood some truths. As he got older, An Chengyou gradually understood that he had something unusual about Song Chu.It's a pity that the shadow of his childhood was too great, and now Song Chu doesn't like to talk to him, and he always walks around when he sees him, which often makes him very depressed.

Because he has to take part in the children's examination next spring, the schoolwork is a bit busy, and An Chengyou hasn't been home for half a year. He doesn't know about the death of his father in the early Song Dynasty and the almost kicked out of the village, as well as the matter of being a servant. At this moment, I looked at Song Chu standing in front of me, wearing a fresh grass-green cotton padded jacket. He was taller, his appearance was much rounder than half a year ago, his brows were less sharp and indifferent, and his whole personality was very energetic and beautiful. The thoughts of day and night seemed to turn into water in an instant, soaking the whole heart soft and soft.

An Ren and An Yuan moved all the things on the carriage, and An Chengyou wanted to help them deliver the things home, An Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said: "We have taken care of you. You haven't come back for more than half a year. I guess it will be a while." Everyone in my son's family should be anxious, we don't have many things, we can carry them by ourselves, no matter how bad it is, there are Xiaoling Xiaochu and the others, so you should go home first and leave us alone."

An Chengyou didn't insist, nor was he in a hurry to leave. Seeing Song Chu walking beside An Ling without looking back, the two of them lowered their heads to talk from time to time, and everything around them with vivid backs became a foil.

An Chengyou looked at it for a while, with a slight smile on his mouth, he turned around and got into the carriage, and said to the coachman, "Let's go." The coachman yelled, and the carriage continued to move forward, entered the village and went south along the street, in the direction just in line with Song Chu and others were the opposite.

An Ren bought a lot of things for the family, and it was inconvenient to carry large and small bags, so he stuffed the gifts in his arms to An Ling, and hurried home.

The thing is wrapped in a piece of white cloth, it looks like a hairpin, and when you take it apart, it is indeed sandalwood, with two plum blossoms carved on it. It took a lot of thought. An Ling liked it very much. He fumbled with his hands repeatedly, tried and tried to insert it on his head, but it was a pity that the little brother and the unmarried brother were not allowed to wear hairpins. After trying a few times, they had to take them off and wrap them again. Okay, carefully put it in your arms.

Back at An Ling's house, An Qing and Lu Ming took An Yuan back to the house to ask about his health, while An Ling repeatedly looked at the hairpin in his arms, his face bright and absent-minded. Say goodbye quickly.

An Ling's family lives in the north of the village. When walking out from his house, you have to turn a few turns and pass a few houses before you get to the main street. Because they lived not far away before, Song Chu recognized these families. When they passed a courtyard, they heard arguing coming from inside. The noise was not very loud. Song Chu subconsciously looked at An Hua's house.

The yard of Anhua's house was built when his father and grandmother were there. The thatched roof and the mottled mud walls are a bit old. Although he has made money in recent years, he rarely runs a business at home, so he didn't rebuild the house. Anhua's family is small, and hearing the quarrel, there should be outsiders, Song Chu ignored it.

Anhua's family built a firewood shed outside the courtyard wall, leaning on the courtyard wall and close to the alley. When Song Chu walked by, he heard rustling noises inside. He stopped to listen carefully, and the sound stopped. After a while it rang again.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the first thought was "There is someone inside." Then "This person is very timid." Finally, "Could it be a thief?" Idlers, idlers, and those who like to do sneaky things, it’s fine if they don’t come across it, but since it happened, Song Chu naturally didn’t want to let it go, so he walked lightly to the front of the firewood shed, and looked for the sound with his ears Leaning over, he stretched out his hands to grab and pull, and pulled out a child from the firewood shed. He was a small child, dressed in round clothes, with a pair of big eyes shining with fear under the brim of the hat that covered his forehead. Song Chu took a closer look, but he recognized that it was Anhua's little husband who had met him once.

Song Chu quickly let go, and the child couldn't stand still and sat on the ground, so he hurried to help him up, scaring the child back. He leaned in front of the child and said, "You don't know me? We've met before. I gave you sweets. It was in front of that tall and big house." He was talking about ancestor worship on the first day of the twelfth lunar month. He went to the ancestral hall and met the child in the corner. At that time, the two stayed together. Song Chu gave the child a piece of candy, and the child ate it. Other than that, he didn't even say anything.

The child rolled his eyes on Song Chu's face, as if he had some impression, his face became less alert, Song Chu took the opportunity to help him up, patted him in the dust, and heard the sound of quarreling in the yard getting louder and louder. The older he was, he frowned, and asked the child, "Why are you hiding in the firewood shed, why don't you go into the house?" The child grabbed the hem of his clothes, and after a long time said timidly: "There are bad people in the yard, be afraid. ..." Song Chu said: "You mean there are bad people in the yard? What about Brother An Hua? Is he not at home?"

Just as I was talking, the courtyard door was opened with a bang, and two middle-aged husbands stumbled out of it, one of them said while running: "Uncle, this is for your own good, you still have something to do now." You are a man of status, An Si is such a good little brother, he looks handsome, and he can choose a family to live in. I don’t think you have a adoptive husband, such a little brother... ah..."

A wooden stick rushed towards him, and the husband was almost hit by the one who couldn't dodge, and he didn't have the mood to continue talking. He glanced at the other husband next to him, and ran away in a hurry. The other husband seemed to have something to say. Said, how dare you look at this posture, and quickly disappeared.

These two people ran past Song Chu one after the other. Song Chu glanced at them and they both knew each other. One was An Hua's uncle, Li Cheng, and the other was called An Jun, who was An Hua's uncle.

An Hua ran out after the two of them, with a dark face, as if he was a little anxious, he was relieved to see the healthy child beside Song Chu, and there was some warmth in his expression.

He was taken aback when he saw Song Chu, but the two of them were really unfamiliar, so he just greeted vaguely: "Here we are." Song Chu nodded and said, "Well... I passed by here and saw him hiding In the firewood shed, I thought it was a thief, so I frightened him, so you can take him home, it’s too cold outside."

An Hua thanked him, looked at the child, the child was still trembling, but had a sweet smile on his face, shouted "Hua..." as usual and rushed towards him, An Hua felt a pain in his heart, He knelt down and took him into his arms, kissed his face and hugged him, then nodded to Song Chu, turned and went back to the yard, and Song Chu also continued to walk home, completely ignoring this episode.

Anhua knocked on the door of Anxuan's house the next day.
