Crossing the green wheat ears

Half a month later, Xiyuan and Shuanzi returned to Lianhua Village.

A trip to Yongning Pass, back and forth, more than four months, but it seems as long as a lifetime.When I went there, the grass grew and the warblers flew, it was late spring. When I came back, the fallen trees were rustling, and the grass withered, it was already late autumn.

The fast horse galloped to the vicinity of Wande Town, the surrounding scenery became familiar, and the joy of the family members could be seen immediately. Xiyuan and Shuanzi were both a little excited. In the water, which one should the husband save first? If he had to choose between Wei Cheng and his family, he would really be unable to decide, and the answer would be equally unsolvable.

Entering the boundary of Lianhua Village, the villagers who are picking up the crops in the field will recognize two people with sharp eyes, and they will greet them loudly.

"Xiaoyuan!" Qiuyang's house was right next to the road, and when he saw Xiyuan, he was taken aback for a moment, disregarding the work in his hand, ran over and hugged Xiyuan, tears glistening in his big eyes.

"Brother Qiuyang." Xiyuan was also very excited, unknowingly these people had walked into his life and became an inseparable part.

"Father, go and tell Uncle Xi and the others that Xiaoyuan is back." Qiuyang said to his father Wang Laolan, "I'll go back to the village with Xiaoyuan first." The last sentence was to his wife.

The work in the field is heavy, and his wife Li asked Qiu Yangniang to take care of the children at home. She was reluctant to let Qiuyang follow her to work in the field, but Qiuyang felt sorry for his wife and father. The shovel and pick did not move, and let his wife and father support him, so he came to work in the field for everything. Now that Xiyuan came back, he ignored everything and followed Xiyuan to the village.

"Hey, I'll go now, dad." Wang Laolan nodded, and walked to the Xi family's field to find people. The original few acres of the Xi family's field had already been tidied up, and now their family members are all in the newly opened wasteland. side.

Mrs. Li also said hello to Xiyuan, telling Qiuyang not to come to the field today, but to stay with Xiyuan at home, she likes her husband to be closer to the Xi family, the family is going through life and is very motivated, Qiuyang can learn a lot by following him, as long as things are good for Qiuyang, Mrs. Li will not stop them.

"Uncle Wang, you ride my horse to look for it." Shuanzi handed the reins to Wang Laolan, so that he could hurry up, and their [-]-acre field was a long way from the village.

"Xiaoyuan, Xiaowei babbles about why you haven't come back every day. If you know you're back, you have to jump high and run back." Qiuyang said to Xiyuan excitedly.

"Xiao Wei also went to the field?" Xiyuan asked.

"No, Xiao Wei is sensible now. He takes care of all the big and small things in the family, so you don't need to worry about it at all." Qiuyang said.

"Big brother, big brother!" Before reaching the gate of the village, a figure flew up in front of him, piercing into Xiyuan's arms like a shell, and next to him, Li Yuan shouted loudly, "Master!"

Goudan was packing up his herbs in the back garden, and when he heard Li Yuan running back and yelling that his elder brother had returned, Goudan ran out with the herbs in his hand, wiping his tears and the smell of herbs on his face as he ran. Only then did he remember, let go and threw the herbs and ran.

"Our Goudan has grown up to the elder brother's chin." Xiyuan touched Goudan's head, Goudan hugged Xiyuan and did not let go. He might feel ashamed to shed tears and refused to look up.

"Oh, the golden bean is dropped, the golden bean is dropped!" A few ignorant naughty boys playing together outside the village gate followed suit.

Xiyuan smiled and took out the beef jerky bought in Yongning City from his pocket for them to eat, "Don't laugh at us, Changshuo, and don't give it to anyone who wants to laugh." The children immediately shut up, looking at the beef jerky, Li Yuan Take it, and send a handful to each naughty bag.

Goudan grinned happily while wiping his tears, while watching his elder brother handing out beef jerky to the children.

Fortunately, most of the villagers were busy working in the fields, but when they entered the village, they didn't see many people. Mao Doujiao and Hutou rushed forward while wagging their tails, and licked Xiyuan's face. Bah, bah, spit out several mouthfuls of saliva.

The grandma at the door of the house was sitting on the steps of the gate, looking at Xiyuan and shedding tears. She took care of grandma and cried along with her. The eldest brother came back, and he got off the kang for a long time, his legs were trembling, and he moved with him for a long time before moving to the gate, saying that he couldn't walk anymore, so he had to sit at the door and wait.

"Grandma!" Xiyuan ran over, knelt on the ground on one knee, hugged grandma and shed tears.

"Come back, come back!" Grandma patted Xiyuan's back and murmured, looking forward day and night, and finally looking forward to her eldest grandson coming back.

Xiyuan got up, picked up grandma, and carried grandma back to the house on the kang. It was cold outside, and the old man would freeze after sitting for a long time.

The others followed into the room and sat chatting together.

Grandma held Xiyuan's hand and did not let it go, stroking it over and over again, sitting next to the elder brother, grinning and listening to the elder brother's words.Bu ordered a cup of tea for the eldest brother, and took two pieces of snacks. She was young and hadn't seen her for a few months. Xiyuan's figure was already blurred in her young memory, and she just stood there watching timidly, or followed her sister-in-law stumblingly. running in and out.

Just after chatting for a few words, the courtyard door was kicked open, Xi Wei ran in like a gust of wind, stepped forward and rushed towards Xiyuan, causing Xiyuan to stagger, and the two brothers fell on the kang together , Xi Wei hugged his brother for a long time without looking up.

Xiyuan supported Xi Wei's head up and down, his chest was wet.

"Wei, let's stop crying, ah, your brother is back." Grandma patted Xi Wei on the back to comfort him.

Xi Wei cried for a while, then got up by himself, pulled Xi Yuan up, sniffed, and grinned a little embarrassedly.

"It's nineteen years old, and the golden beans are returned." Xiyuan wiped his face with a cloth towel.

"Didn't I miss you?" Xi Wei acted like a baby while holding his brother's arm.

"It's okay, it's not shameful to have our dog as a company." Xiyuan teased the two younger brothers, but he felt extremely kind and warm in his heart. This is family. I hope you are worried about you when I am not at home. When I come back, I won't What beautiful words to say, just express the thoughts in my heart with the simplest actions.

Goudan snuggled up on the edge of the kang, he knew how to giggle, and when he heard what the elder brother said, he looked at the fifth brother embarrassedly, well, the fifth brother was several years older than him, he was crying, and he was not ashamed.

After a while, Xi Mingwu drove the carriage into the yard. Before the carriage stopped, Xi Mingwen, his wife and his second aunt jumped down and walked quickly into the house.

Adults should be more cautious in expressing their feelings, but Niang Xiyuan still shed tears.

"Well, when our little Wei heard that his brother was back, he ignored us and ran back on horseback." After the excitement, Xi Mingwu joked.

Grandma sat cross-legged, holding Xiyuan's hand and putting it under her legs to cover it, "I have been close to his brother since I was a child, so I don't want to run home like a girl. What's more, I lost golden beans for a long time when I came back."

"It's not just Xiao Wei, Changshuo has dropped a lot of golden beans, so let the children in the village make a fuss." Qiuyang interjected with a smile and didn't leave.

"Second Uncle, Yangyang and Xiaoyong are both in Yansui and haven't come back yet?" Xi Yuan scanned the people in the room and asked Xi Mingwu.

"Yangyang just left this morning. You should know that you won't go when you come back. Xiaoyong will come back the day after tomorrow." Xi Mingwu said with a smile.

"It's still Yangyang, I'm in charge now, I don't allow you to be called nicknames, and I jump up when I call them." Second Aunt said.

I thought that Xiyang would not have much future, but since Xiyuan handed over the rights of the head of the family to him, the child has taken care of it very well, has contacted more people and things, and is doing things decently. Now their family Xiyang made up the big and small things, and the second aunt was very grateful to this eldest nephew.

"It's still up to the children to protest. They are still called nicknames in their twenties. Don't be in a hurry with you." Grandpa clicked on his cigarette pipe and said, although he was not as excited as grandma, but when he was driving home from the field, getting into the carriage Xi Mingwu went up after hugging and holding him.

Later, people in the village who had a good relationship with the Xi family, such as Cheng Yi and Xie Mingli, all came and sat for a while. Grandma Wang brought Dani over, and Dani was not restrained. He came in and called eldest brother crisply, and then saw that it was getting dark, and turned to the kitchen to help his second aunt and Xiyang's daughter-in-law cook. Xiyuan's mother took care of Xihan's eldest son, and didn't think about cooking at all.

Xiyuan chatted with everyone, feeling the warmth among relatives and friends, but he didn't eat dinner, and fell asleep for some reason while talking, Qiuyang, Xiwei and Goudan three, two Moved to Xiyuan in the kang, one took off his elder brother's shoes, everyone saw that Xiyuan was asleep, and the sound was automatically muted, grandma sat next to Xiyuan, put him on a pillow, and covered him with a quilt. After eating, the old man didn't Move the place, sit next to Xiyuan, touch his face for a while and touch his body for a while, the kiss is not enough.

Hei Tian woke up, Xi Yuan didn't know where he was, and habitually touched his side to see if Wei Cheng was there, but finally touched another head, Xi Wei was sleeping soundly next to him, and tilted his head again , Goudan didn't go back to his room, he slept on the other side of Xiyuan, and the corners of his mouth turned up when he fell asleep, as if he was dreaming of some happy event.

Afraid of alarming his two younger brothers, Xiyuan lay there without moving, listening to the crowing of the rooster before dawn, thinking of where the person who was far away on the journey is now, a trip to Yongning Pass, suddenly like a dream, Those half-squinted peach-blossom eyes seemed to be in front of him, and the longing in his heart seemed to be missing something, and seemed to have something more.

Thoughts drifted, and in the silence, Xiyuan fell asleep again, opened his eyes again, and the sky was bright.Just when I wanted to get up, the door opened, and a small head came in, it was Qianqian.

Seeing Xiyuan looking at her, he quickly retracted his head, but still showed a pair of black eyes, staring at Xiyuan.

"Come on, come forward, come to daddy." Xi Yuan waved forward.

"Fanfan, Fanfan." Before Qianqian came in, he called out twice.

"Be good, let's keep your voice down. Your father is sleeping. When he wakes up, come and play with him." A quiet voice came from outside the door, and when he approached, through the open door, he saw that Xi Yuan had already sat up. , hurriedly hugged forward and came in, "Brother, are you up?"

Xiyuan nodded. Although there were mothers and nanny to take care of him before and after, but he was surrounded by little ones every day. It can be said that his daughter was brought up by this little girl.

"No, did you see what the elder brother brought back yesterday? The white fox fur inside is for you, you can use it to make clothes." Xiyuan got off the kang, and walked towards the main room while talking to Budian.

"I see, big brother. Brother Shuanzi came over again yesterday night and gave us everything." When Xiyuan came back from shopping, he kept repeating each and every one of them. Shuanzi knew exactly which one was for whom. Yuan fell asleep, and he helped distribute it to his family.

"That's good, Xiaowei. You can go and tell Brother Shuanzi to rest for two days, and then he will take care of the family affairs." Xi Wei and the others were talking in the main room while waiting for the eldest brother. He continued to supervise the work in the field early in the morning, and no one else went out.

"Understood, brother, I'll go now, or brother Shuanzi will come here later." Shuanzi and his family lived in a wing room next to the courtyard, a few steps away.Big brother means that in the future Shuanzi will be promoted to be the steward of the family, which is equivalent to the steward of a rich family.

The young and old in the Xi family are very grateful to Shuanzi. They have been with Xiyuan for more than half a year. Those who don’t know it don’t think it’s a big deal.Xi Wei is the best with his brother, and of course he is most grateful to Shuan Zi. He is the only one in the family who knows where his brother is going.

"Master, Dad, you two go to the field, I'll have dinner later, and Xiao Wei will also go over there to have a look." Xiyuan knew that Grandpa and Dad couldn't be idle, and as a landlord, they supervised the work of long-term servants. They followed suit.

"Okay, then your father and I will go there first, don't go too early, wait for the sun to come up and then go out, it's freezing." Xi Mingwen instructed Xi Yuan, and went to the field with his father.

Xiyuan chatted with other people while eating, his mother asked him what he wanted to eat so that he could make it for lunch, Xiyuan had to order a few dishes to satisfy his mother.

After Xi Wei told Shuanzi to come back, he ate another meal with his brother. After eating, he had difficulty sitting down to catch his breath, so he put down his chopsticks.

"Brother," Goudan stood by the door, looking at Xiyuan with shining eyes.

"What's the matter?" Xiyuan looked at Goudan as if he had something to say.

"What else can I do, I want you to see his baby." Xi Wei said to Goudan with a smile.

The wild ginseng under the tree in the back garden of the house has been growing for four years, and it will bloom and bear seeds next year. Xi Yuan was also very excited thinking about it, so he got up and walked to the back garden with Xi Wei Goudan.

"Brother, our Goudan takes care of you meticulously. He keeps watch every day, and sits there talking to the wild ginseng when you have nothing to do." Xi Wei said mysteriously, speaking to his brother in a voice that Goudan could hear.

"Oh? What are you talking about?" Xiyuan asked curiously.

The dog is anxious, his face is red, "Fifth Brother!"

Xi Wei ignored him and continued to report to his brother, "What do you mean, ginseng dolls, you grow up quickly, and when you grow up, you will be planted all over the hillside. My elder brother will be happy to see it, and praise us as a bitch."

Xi Wei couldn't help laughing while talking, and Xi Yuan couldn't hold back his laughter either.

"Brother, don't talk about it, our dog's mouth is quite smooth, dog's, what does the tsk at the back mean?" Xi Wei teased the dog.

Goudan turned his head and ignored Xi Wei, fifth brother is so bad, didn't he just sit there and mutter a few things, was overheard by fifth brother, remembered it for so long, and even told his eldest brother!

Xi Yuan patted Xi Wei, "Just teasing us bastards, I don't know what tsk tsk means, I'm just so happy that I don't know how to praise us bastards, right, bastards? Let's go, bastards, let's ignore it Your fifth brother, let's take a look at our Goudan's results together." Xiyuan put Goudan's shoulders on his shoulders, pretending to ignore Xi Wei.

"Hey, come on, big brother, it's okay if I'm wrong." Xi Wei also pretended to be scared, and ran to put his brother's shoulders on his shoulders and walked into the garden. He is now taller than Xiyuan.
