Rebirth of the backing and eating mountains

Song Chu was lying on the bed, feeling a little tired, but couldn't fall asleep.He thought about serving others, even though he was young and ignorant of the world, there was always some turmoil in his heart.I didn't set a date before, and I felt that it was still far away.Now that the day is settled, in two months, he will be someone else's husband, and it feels like a dream.In fact, he yearns for the relationship of missing each other like father and mother.However, thinking about An Rubao's every move these days, he felt that it would be worth it if he could give it to such a person.

Thinking east and west, tossing and turning, Song Chu fell asleep when it was almost dawn.When he woke up, it was already daylight, and Song Yi was not on the kang anymore.Song Chu hurriedly got up, put on his clothes and ran out.When he went out, he happened to meet An Rubao who came to call him.

Because he thought about this person all night, Song Chu was a little embarrassed to see him.Seeing his blue eye circles, An Rubao knew that he must have not slept well because of what happened last night, so he said without saying anything, "Dinner is ready, let me see if you get up."

Only then did Song Chu remember that he got up late, and hurried to the kitchen.An Rubao grabbed him and said, "What's the hurry, the food is ready."

Feeling embarrassed, Song Chu followed An Rubao into the dining room.Qin Feng was serving porridge. Seeing them coming in, he smiled and said, "Get up, I made porridge, and it's just right now."

Song Chu lowered his head and said, "Uncle... Ah, I'm sorry, I got up late."

Qin Feng smiled and said: "You are only so old, you really think you are an adult. Children should sleep more to grow taller and stronger. I was too busy a few days ago and had a lot of things to do, so I had to do more. In the future, you have to take good care of it. Look at you, you are too thin."

Song Chu didn't know what to do for a while, An Rubao pulled him to sit on the seat, and said, "You, just listen to me. Eat more and sleep more, I don't want my husband to be skinny." Only then did Song Chu pick up the bowl and chopsticks to eat, and ate half a bowl obediently.

An Rubao was very satisfied with this.After eating, Song Chu rushed to help Qin Feng clean up the dishes.An Xuan and An Rubao planted autumn vegetables such as cabbage and radishes in the back garden early in the morning, and now they are discussing cutting some firewood in the back mountain.Firewood is needed for cooking, and since it is autumn, it is impossible to burn the kang without firewood.After hearing this, Song Chu took the ax and wanted to go with him.

Qin Feng also rolled his sleeves and said, "I want to go too." An Xuan and An Rubao looked at the two brothers who had to go, but had no choice but to agree.He couldn't leave the two children Song Yi and An Ruyu alone at home, so he brought them with him.Chopping firewood well seems to be a game.

The back mountain is very close to An's house, and the foot of the mountain is just around the house.The mountain is not high, and a large piece of wasteland has been opened up to the mountainside, which is deserted and covered with weeds and thorns.Upward are some sparse shrubs and brambles.

While climbing up the mountain, An Rubao grabbed the soil and looked at it, frowning.I thought to myself: "No wonder this land is deserted." It turns out that this mountain is full of sandy land.As the name suggests, it is a land with a lot of sand.This kind of land does not store water, and many crops are not suitable for planting on sandy land.The only potatoes, sweet potatoes, and peanuts he knows fit.There was one other thing that worried him.The back mountain is just behind his house, and it is still full of sand. The trees on the mountain are sparse due to land reclamation. If it catches up with the rainy year, it is easy to cause mudslides!

Mudslides are inevitable and one of the most terrifying natural disasters.Fortunately, the summer is over, An Rubao is planning in his mind, the first thing to do next spring is to plant trees on the mountain, as for what to plant, we will talk about it later.By the way, people will be prevented from going up the mountain to cut firewood this winter.Don't come here too!

Thinking of this, An Rubao hurriedly stopped An Xuan who was about to chop down the tree with an axe, and said, "Father, this tree cannot be cut down."

An Xuan used to live in the city and didn't know anything about these things. Hearing this, he was puzzled and asked, "Why can't we cut it down?"

Before An Rubao answered, Song Chu said from the side: "Father, you can't cut it down. A few years ago, the neighboring village cut down too many trees on a mountain because of several nearby families, and the mountain became bald. As a result, the mountain god became angry. , blisters formed in summer, and buried the few houses in front of us."

An Xuan hurriedly took back the ax in fright—his house is at the foot of the mountain—and asked Song Chu, “Then where are we going to cut it?”

Song Chu thought for a while and said, "Let's go to Shanyin today, and we can go to a farther mountain to cut firewood in the future."

An Xuan naturally agreed, and the family walked along the mountain road to the shady side.The vegetation on the shady side of the mountain is different from that on the sunny side, some pine trees, brambles and shrubs are more lush.An Xuan, Qin Adie, An Rubao and Song Chu picked up two overgrown pine trees and cut down some thorns, cut down some shrubs, and gathered a few bundles of firewood.Father Qin and An Xuan each picked two bundles and transported them down the mountain.

An Rubao and Song Chu also wanted to help, but they were stopped by Mrs. Anxuan - they haven't grown up yet, so doing such heavy work will hurt their health.However, An Rubao saw the way Song Chu was wielding a sickle among the thorn bushes taller than him, and felt that he might have done such heavy work a lot.Sure enough, Song Yi said from the side: "When Dad was sick, it was my brother who chopped firewood."

An Rubao felt sour in his heart, and patted Song Chu's head.

Anxuan and his wife each carried a load, and Anxuan made another trip, and the firewood was shipped out.An Rubao and Song Chu carried Song Yi in their arms, and An Ruyu in the other, and followed them down the mountain.

When I got home, the firewood was piled up in the firewood shed in the front yard.The family had lunch and took a rest in the afternoon.

Lying on the kang at night, An Xuan pressed his husband's legs, and said with red eyes: "I've tired you these days. I originally wanted to give you a good life, but I was useless. I ruined the family and let you suffer with me." "In those days, Qin Feng, the youngest son of the Qin family, was at the top of the list in Yuxing City for his looks and talents.Many people went to propose marriage, but only An Xuan from the merchant fell in love.An Xuan was also ecstatic back then, and vowed to give Fu Lang the best life.Unexpectedly, in the end, Fulang was asked to follow him back to this small mountain village to become a farmer, and he had to worry about trivial matters every day. He was the one who was sorry for Fulang.

Qin Feng kicked him, and said angrily: "I fell in love with you at the beginning, was it because of your ability?! It was because you were kind and treated me well. Now, although we have no high-rise mansions and large courtyards, and servants are servants, But it’s better for us to be together all the time. It’s not bad to live here, with beautiful mountains and rivers, outstanding people, and much more carefree than in the city. I don’t ask much, that is, I can grow old with you, surrounded by children and grandchildren Knees are enough."

With a sore nose, An Xuan leaned over and hugged his husband.Qin Feng patted his back, and his eyes were red.

On the second day, Song Chu woke up not too late, and Qin Feng was already busy in the kitchen. Seeing him walking in with rubbing eyes, he hurriedly said, "I knew you had to get up early, didn't I tell you to sleep more. Go back and sleep for a while." , I can eat alone.”

Song Chu scooped up cold water in the basin, washed his face, and was aroused by the water, sobering up a lot.He replied: "I'm used to getting up early. There's nothing wrong with me. I'll just give you a hand."

Qin Feng had nothing to do, so he had to follow him.The two cooked porridge together and baked some cornmeal pancakes.After An Rubao and An Xuan finished eating, they packed up their axes and sickles and went to a farther place to chop wood.Qin Feng was really tired yesterday, so he won't go today.Early Song had to go, and the reason was quite good: An Xuan and his son didn't know the situation in the mountains, so he could lead the way and act as a guide.

An Xuan thought it was reasonable and agreed.Qin Feng asked Song Chu not to do heavy work.The three of them dismantled the carriage from the carriage, harnessed the horses and drove eastward.

Qin Feng continued to be busy with family affairs, Song Yi said hello to Qin Feng, and ran out with An Ruyu.There is no danger in the village, so Qin Feng will follow them.

The three of An Xuan drove the carriage eastward, along the embankment, and not far away was the earthen bridge built by the villagers.The earth bridge is simple to build. The bottom of the bridge is built with stones, and a few thick logs are placed across it. Some branches and straw are spread on it, and loess is spread on it.Finally, several layers of loess were laid on the top and compacted to form an earth bridge.This kind of earth bridge is extremely strong, and the load capacity is not small. Unless there is a flash flood, it can generally last for several years without breaking.

The earth bridge was built very wide, and the carriage crossed the river easily.On the other side of the river, there are stretches of rice fields on one side, and mountains of all sizes on the other side. There are many valleys between the mountains and mountains. Without people who are familiar with the road, they really don't know where to start.

Putting on the appearance of a veteran, Song Chu pointed to a valley not far away and said, "It's called Catalpa ditch, and there are a lot of catalpa trees in it. They can be picked in a few days. It's delicious to fry at home. gone."

Anxuan and his son didn't know what the catalpa was. Song Chu said: "It's very similar to a walnut, but it's smaller than a walnut, and the kernels inside are also smaller. You need to dig it with an awl to eat it. It's very fragrant." An Rubao was stunned. Black thread, thought: "It's so troublesome to eat."

At the beginning of Song Dynasty, he said a lot, "Let's go to Yangyu, there are more vegetation there." He pointed to the direction.From the looks of it, he can name all the valleys here, big and small.

An Xuan raised his whip, and the carriage headed towards Yang Yu.Yangyu is considered to be a relatively large valley.Sure enough, the vegetation is lush inside, and the mountains are relatively high.An Xuan parked the carriage at the foot of a mountain with dense trees, and took An Rubao and Song Chu up the mountain.

The lower part of the mountain is mostly weeds and twigs, the mountainside is shrubs such as oak trees, and on the top of the mountain, there are mostly pine trees.Just before he walked up, he suddenly heard Song Chu cheering, An Rubao looked over and found that he was almost running towards a clump of plants.An Rubao was afraid that he would be in danger, so he hurriedly followed him, and saw that he was reaching out to pick the full fruit hanging on it.The fruit is very red. It looks like a strawberry at first glance, but it is much smaller than a strawberry. It is supported by green leaves and is very beautiful.

Song Chu picked some and ate them himself, and seeing An Rubao approaching, he picked some and handed it to him, beckoning him to taste it quickly.An Rubao had never eaten this kind of food, he took it up and looked at it for a while before putting it in his mouth, it was unexpectedly delicious.An Rubao ate all the food in his hand before smiling at Song Chu, "It's delicious."

Song Chu ran flushed, with a bit of complacency, and said: "It's delicious, let's pick some more to eat, we picked them all when we went down the mountain, and brought them back for Ah Mo and the others to taste." An Rubao nodded He turned his head and looked closely at the plant with fruits, and found that it was covered with short thorns. He hurriedly grabbed Song Chu who was about to reach out, picked some by himself, handed it to Song Chu, and ate a few by himself. Bring it to Papa.

An Xuan also liked this kind of small fruit, and the three of them talked and laughed as they walked to the mountainside.An Xuan asked Song Chu to wait here, and he and An Rubao climbed up to see how many crooked and dense pine trees were placed, and then cut down the pine branches and tied them up.The trunks were cut into lengths of similar length and lengths, and the lengths were also tied up.Then, with a push, the fagot rolled all the way to the mountainside.

The two pushed down all the fagots before going down the mountain.At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, on the mountainside, several piles of oak trees that were not too thick and long had been cut down.Seeing this, An Rubao grabbed the ax in his hand with a sullen face, and pulled him aside.He didn't say anything, took an ax and continued to chop oak and thorns with Dad.

Song Chu stood aside, a little at a loss.The angry expression on An Rubao's face just now startled him.He didn't know what he did wrong, but he knew that if he moved again, An Rubao might get even more angry, so he could only stand there and watch.

An Xuan grew up in the city since he was a child, and bought firewood.It is the second time that I chop wood by myself.Compared with ordinary villagers, they are far inferior in terms of physical strength and strength.Not to mention An Rubao, he was still a child after all.The two of them worked until the afternoon before filling the carriage.At noon, the three of them ate the cornbread they brought and drank water. During the break, An Rubao didn't speak to Song Chu.Therefore, in the afternoon, Song Chu only helped to tie the firewood pile with a rope, and didn't even dare to pick the fruit.
