Crossing the green wheat ears

By the end of May, the real summer is coming.The summer in the north is not as hot as in the south, so you can avoid the heat by finding a shaded place at noon.

In the courtyard of the west house, grandma is sitting in the shade and taking off the cotton clothes. The family’s cotton clothes have just been replaced, and I have to hurry up to do it while I have just shoveled the ground three times, otherwise I will have to wear jackets and thin clothes when I am old. The padded jacket is too late to make it now.

Grandma first removed the inside and outside of the cotton-padded jacket and trousers, and then Niang Xiyuan washed them and sewed them.Under the vines, Xi Wei and Wei Cheng sent cucumber flowers to the grasshopper's cage one after another to amuse the grasshopper.

The grasshoppers caught by my uncle yelled loudly, which lived up to Xi Wei's praise, especially at noon—the hottest time of the day, when the family wanted to take a nap, but they yelled the most vigorously. The quarrel made Xiyuan want to roast and eat them, but, well, he just thought about it. At the beginning, when he doubted the level of his uncle and uncle, Xi Wei was so angry that he didn't want to be with him. "General" - the name Xi Wei gave to his grasshopper, it was roasted and eaten, Xi Wei still had to break up with him.Hearing the noisy call of the grasshopper, Xiyuan turned over helplessly.Everyone else in the family woke up from their afternoon naps, but Xiyuan hadn't fallen asleep, so he was still squinting on the kang in the house.

"Son?" Grandma called Xi Wei and Wei Cheng.

"Grandma, what's the matter?" The two children asked grandma while teasing the grasshopper.

"The two of you quietly went to the house to have a look. Is your brother just lying on the kang, or tossing and turning?" Grandma hesitated.

"Hey." Xi Weier told God, put down the cucumber flowers and ran into the house, Wei Cheng followed behind.

In the past few days, the cucumbers at home have grown a lot less, and the two of them picked up the flowers and fed them to the grasshoppers. Xiyuan was so angry that he took a broom and chased them around the yard several times, but now he is not as fast as these two brothers. , Can't catch up with others.Later, it was Wei Cheng who saw his brother chasing too hard, so he slowed down on purpose and asked Xi Yuan to pat him twice to relieve his anger, while Xi Wei looked at him quacking happily.

In the end, grandpa led them to the vegetable garden, pointing out which flowers can bear cucumbers and which ones can't, and let them pick out the scourges that can't bear fruit, and occasionally go to the vine shelf to pick some squash flowers instead. Only then did the cucumbers get rid of the danger of production reduction.

"Grandma, my brother is baking pancakes on the kang." Xi Wei meant that Xiyuan always turned over on the kang.

"Hey!" The old lady sighed. The eldest grandson has been like this for several days since he came back from his grandma's house. "You two, when you grow up, you should treat your brother better. Your brother, but really It's easy, worry about this and that." The grandma lowered her head and picked up the thread ends on the cotton-padded clothes with the awl on the sole of her shoe, and instructed the two little ones.

"Well, we both know!" Xi Wei and Wei Cheng nodded together to assure grandma.

After all, Xi Wei was still young and didn't understand the reason why grandma asked them to do this. Wei Cheng was much more sensible. After grandma finished speaking, he understood that brother had something to worry about!

Not in the mood to play with Xi Wei any longer, Wei Cheng walked lightly back into the house, without saying a word, just lying on the edge of the Kang and looking at Xi Yuan.

Xiyuan closed his eyes and thought about his grandpa's family. Tell them to think of a way to make money. No one will urge them to fear that they will not do well. Even if they can do well and make money, they can't afford it!As the saying goes: "There must be a money rake outside, and there must be a money box at home."

It means that men can earn money outside, and women at home will live on and keep the money, so that the money they earn can be saved.But my grandmother's family didn't have a money box at all. Their family used a spending spoon or a colander, and how much money could be leaked out of the hole.

If you can't save money, it's all in vain!What should I do?Xi Yuan really had a headache from thinking about it.

If you don't care, one is his mother's side. After all, both father and mother are close relatives, and no one is close to the other. He cares about the West's family, and the grandma's family should not see it. It's a bit too unreasonable. .

In addition, although my grandma's family doesn't know how to live, they are really nice people, especially to Xiyuan and the others.Why is Xi Wei so close to his uncles? Isn’t it because the older and younger uncles love him? Once Xi Wei left, the whole family revolved around him, but they kept tossing around with him vigorously. Xi Yuan felt that he was very capable. I am used to my younger brother, but compared with my uncle and uncle, there is still some distance.

If Xi Wei made a mistake, Xi Yuan would punish him. When he arrived at his grandma’s house, Xi Wei would say whatever he did. What was right was right, and what was wrong was also right. No one questioned his mischievous behavior. .Besides, the uncle and the uncle also accompanied him, otherwise Xi Wei couldn't stay enough when he went to his grandma's house.

Therefore, the situation of my grandma's family had to find a way to reverse it, otherwise my family lived a comfortable life, and my grandpa's family lived in that shabby hut, eating bran and swallowing vegetables without using others. Xiyuan, who had only been to Xiyuan once, felt unbearable.

Seeing Xiyuan frowning and thinking about something, Wei Cheng was full of worry. He didn't know why his brother was entangled, but it must not be a trivial matter to make him difficult.He couldn't help stroking the wrinkles between his brother's eyebrows with his hands, and as soon as he touched them, Xiyuan opened his eyes.

"Chengzi, when did you enter the room? Why didn't you say anything? Why didn't you play with Xiaowei?" Xiyuan saw Wei Cheng like that, and knew that the kid was worried about him. He was too involved in thinking about things just now. , did not hear Wei Cheng come in.

"It's hot outside, so I just want to stay in the house with you." In the summer at home, the doors and windows are opened at noon, so that there is a draft and the inside of the house is cool.

Wei Cheng put his hands on his chin and leaned against Xiyuan's pillow, feeling unhappy.

He was too young, and his elder brother couldn't help him find a solution; but his elder brother was only three years older than him, and when his elder brother was his age, he had already started raising him, and rescued him from that house with an axe; Or he is too stupid to keep up with his brother's cleverness!The more Wei Cheng thought about it, the more frustrated he became.

"Come on, go to the kang and lie down with your brother. You and Xiao Wei haven't stopped for a day. Letting you two sleep at noon is more difficult than catching pigs." Xiyuan patted the pillow and let Wei Cheng stand side by side with him Lying on the kang.

"Brother, I didn't think about anything else. I just saw that my grandma's life was not good, and I thought about how to help them." Seeing that Wei Cheng was not very happy, Xiyuan should be worried for himself, afraid He was thinking wildly, so he told the child what was on his mind.

"Ah, this is the matter, brother, have you figured out a solution?" Wei Cheng immediately heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Xiyuan say this. The matter was even bigger than building a house at home, and it was even bigger than bringing him back from Wei's house and filing a lawsuit with Wei's second son, because at that time he didn't see his brother was so annoying that he was making pancakes on the kang all day long.

If Xiyuan knew that Wei Cheng thought so, he would have to laugh. He didn't need to be like this at that time, because everything was under his control. After all, the initiative is in his own hands, as long as he works hard.It's not like things about grandma's house, which makes people feel powerless.You can't let them live with your family, can you?For food and drink?That's not okay, one family is not one family, two families are not two families, and when they grow up and the next generation rises, it will be even more troublesome.

"Come on, can you still solve the problem that brother wants to solve?" Xiyuan bragged to Wei Cheng, but he really didn't think of it.

"Really?"

"Really, I just don't want to get up, it's too hot outside. Wait a while, wait for the sun to go down a bit, and I will take you and Xiao Wei to swim in the pond."

"Swimming? Then I'll call Xiao Wei." Wei Cheng turned over and got up, and ran out when he got off the ground. Xi Yuan didn't catch him, so he ran to the door in no time. He was relieved that his brother was fine.

"Hey, hey, you kid, why don't I say wait a while, you got that little job back, why don't you go right away?" Xiyuan shouted at Weicheng.

"Brother, who are you calling a small job?" Xi Wei's angry voice came from outside the window.

"Ah, I didn't say who. I said Chengzi. Chengzi is a small job." Xiyuan was so frightened that he quickly changed his words. He didn't hear Xi Wei's movement for a long time, and thought he ran out. It turned out that he was still surrounded by those two. Grasshopper cage turn it.

"Hmph, you're just talking about me, and you thought I didn't know how to fool me!" Xi Wei exposed his brother's lie in no time.

"Okay, I'll just talk about you, you're just a small job, what can you do to me? You don't want to be with me again?" Xi Yuan stopped being sloppy and started playing rogue.

"Grandma, look at my brother, he just bullies me, you scold him." Xi Wei approached grandma and began to call for reinforcements.

"No, it will only make our children angry! An older brother doesn't look like an older brother, so grandma will beat him up later." Grandma heard Xiyuan and Xiwei teasing, knowing that the eldest grandson didn't think about those troublesome things, so she couldn't bear to worry. Brighten up and join in the fun together.

"Hey, let me tell you, you guys started a fire to bully me. I won't be with you, and I won't be with you again! It's better for us to be married, and I will go swimming with Chengzi, without that little brat." Xi Yuan said He got up and went out, teasing Xi Wei at the same time, imitating the way Xi Wei said that he was not nice to him that day.

"If you don't take me, I won't go with you either! I, I'll go with my second brother!" Xi Wei thought for a while, and felt that he still wanted to go swimming, so he wooed Wei Cheng again, "Second brother, will you take me? "But I don't know what to do. The second brother listens to his brother the most, but he knows it.

"Collect, why not? Eldest brother won't accept it. Second brother will lead you there, so that elder brother will be greedy." Wei Cheng knew that Xi Yuan was joking with Xi Wei, so he had a fight in the middle.

The three brothers turned around and walked out of the courtyard. On the way, they ran into Zhuzi and Cheng Nan again. They spent half an afternoon in the pond.Maybe it's because of their young age, quick receptivity, and good body coordination. Now the swimming skills of these little guys are better than Xiyuan's.Seeing that it was getting late, Xiyuan called a few children home, otherwise they would have to play until dark.

The three brothers broke up with Zhuzi and Cheng Nan at the door of the house, and walked into the courtyard with a stampede. There was no way, their shoes were all wet, and they would probably have to be nagged by grandma.

In the yard, Li Tao's daughter-in-law, Dayan, was sitting on a low stool helping grandma unpack the cotton-padded clothes. When Xiyuan saw him, he struggled with his brain for a few days, and suddenly had an idea that maybe the matter of grandpa's house could be solved in another way. .
