Crossing the Four Seasons Pastoral

Shopkeeper Liu and Li saw that someone stood up for them, neither dared to go with them immediately to meet the officials, nor dared to force them to stay in public, Zhou Bei had already dragged them away while hesitating.

The four of them walked all the way, and didn't stop to take a breath until they left the street and saw that Ye Xiaoan was out of breath.

"How did you two little brothers offend such an unreasonable person?" Zhou Bei felt that he had done a big thing, and began to question the cause of the matter.The little brothers he had seen in the past, whether they were from the village or from the school in the town, were quieter than ordinary boys.If you act like this, I'm afraid it will cause people to discuss right and wrong.

"It's hard to say." Tian Xifan just relaxed from the tense state, and wanted to say when he opened his mouth.With sharp eyes and quick hands, Ye Xiaoan covered his mouth and only replied four words.

"Yo, I can't see that you speak quite politely." Zhou Bei pretended to be surprised and opened his eyes wide, and said, "It's okay, then speak slowly!"

"Beizi, don't talk nonsense. Now that you are out of trouble, you two can leave on your own." Zhou Nan, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke, interrupting Zhou Bei's desire to find out the truth.

Zhou Bei was secretly upset, how did Xin Dao save someone, but he didn't say that he was grateful to his benefactor like in the drama, and he didn't know what to say?But the elder brother always let him go outside, now that he had spoken, he had no choice but to give up.

"I'm not being perfunctory, I really can't tell. But don't worry, I don't really owe him money. Even if I go to sue the officials, the person he's looking for is probably my brother-in-law, and I won't hurt you." Zhou Nan said, Instead, Ye Xiaoan felt that he was being unkind.In any case, they also helped out of the siege, and it's normal to want to know what happened.

Zhou Bei had been talking before, but Zhou Nan was ignored by him.Looking over at this time, I couldn't help but startled.Judging from their tone, they should be brothers, but their looks are not alike at all.That "Beizi" was younger, with quick-witted eyes and a slightly round face. He was not as dark as ordinary country children, and he spoke in an orderly manner.

As for the other, although the voice and face still have the youthfulness of a teenager, but the figure is tall, and the face is calm and even old-fashioned.No wonder he dared to stop Liu's hand just now. His height alone made many people feel oppressed.

His scrutinizing gaze stayed for too long, and Zhou Nan couldn't help but glance at him.In the past, he hated the salivating eyes of the young and old in the village as if they were staring at braised pork, but he was strangely not bored with his focused eyes.

"I know, but it's not good for your reputation to talk rashly like this." Zhou Nan tried his best to soften his tone. He thought this little brother's eyes were really pretty. He had seen his hand raised by Mrs. Liu before. I almost closed my eyes in fright, and shot before my brain could react.

"Thank you for your help. We are all from Linxia Village, and we will definitely repay you if we have the opportunity in the future." Ye Xiaoan felt that it might not be appropriate to leave a random name, so he left a vague address.

"It's easy to do." Seeing his smile, Zhou Nan pursed his lips, feeling his heart beating a beat faster than usual, and he dragged his younger brother away after speaking hastily.

"It's so strange, why are you in a panic." Tian Xifan couldn't help but wondered when he saw them fleeing away, looking back and forth but there was no one else.

"Maybe they still have something urgent to do!" Ye Xiaoan didn't take it seriously, it would be unlucky to meet shopkeeper Li just after coming to town.He decided to buy things in another place and go back quickly. He must strengthen his body every day in the future, otherwise he will be dragged down by his thin body sooner or later.

Tian Xifan was really frightened, so he agreed immediately.The two of them didn't dare to go back to that street. They picked some items from the street stalls, bought other things in the adjacent shops, and went back.

Ye Xiaoan originally wanted to buy a few sets of ready-made clothes, but now he and the fourth brother don't even have any replacement clothes.But Tian Xifan tried his best to stop him, and asked him to buy a few feet of cloth and cut it by himself.

"We still need to build a house and transplant rice seedlings. Isn't it afraid that we will run out of time?" Ye Xiaoan also knows how to cut clothes now, but just knowing what is useful, he must not be able to do it with his hands.He can't say that he can't, he can only say that he has no time.

"Look at this set of ready-made clothes costing more than 100 copper plates, how much is a meter of cloth of the same texture?" Tian Xifan looked at him like a fool, snatched the ready-made clothes in his hand and threw them back, with a look of hatred on his face. Its indisputable.

Although he didn't come and go often before, he knew that Ye Xiaoan was a good guy both in the fields and in his hands.Therefore, he didn't think that Ye Xiaoan didn't want to do it by himself, he just thought that he was really not very smart, and it was useless to spend more money for the store to earn this money.

"But……"

"Don't worry about it, listen to me, just buy this kind. I buy it here every time I come here, it's the most affordable." Tian Xifan accompanied him originally because he was afraid that he would be deceived, but at this moment he felt that he had finally shown his strength It worked, and made the decision for him at the moment.Looking at his troubled face, he couldn't help but said: "If you really don't have time, I'll do it for you. Just give me the leftover rags."

Ye Xiaoan was also relieved to hear that he could help, not to mention leftover rags, even some copper coins are worth it.The price of a set of ready-made clothes has doubled, and he did a rough calculation just now, and he has already spent three taels of silver after shopping.As the saying goes, a broken home is worth tens of thousands of dollars, and you can't afford to buy everything you see.

Because of the accident of running into shopkeeper Li, neither of them was in the mood to take a stroll, and they came back earlier than the others.When saying goodbye at the entrance of the village, Ye Xiaoan asked him to tell Tian Dazhuang to go to see the bricks and tiles the next day, and then they went home.

"Fourth brother, what are you digging?" Ye Xiaoan put the things he bought into the hut where they lived temporarily, and soon found Ye Youping digging outside with a pickaxe.

Ye Youping made a hand gesture and told him to loosen the soil of the vegetable garden and then plant it. It is spring now, and the vegetables are easy to grow, otherwise the land would be wasted.

This piece of land is not fertile, Ye Xiaoan is not very optimistic about it.But thinking about it, it was better than nothing, and it shouldn't be a problem to grow some vegetables, so he also took a hoe and followed him to level the soil.

Both the pickaxe and the hoe were left by Ye Daddy before, and the damage was relatively serious, even the handle was loose or fell off.When the family was separated, no one was willing to take it, and in the end they were assigned to Ye Youping and thrown in the old house.He repaired it all night yesterday, and it is barely usable now.

Ye Xiaoan is not a self-pitying temperament, since he realized that he has traveled to this cheating place, he has been trying hard to adapt.Ye Youping also showed a smile with his back turned to him, he felt that his younger brother was so diligent, someone would come to propose marriage soon.

The two brothers worked hard, and it took another hour to turn over more than half of the land.It's a pity that there are no rapeseeds now, otherwise the rapeseeds will be lit later.

Lunch was the first rice meal Ye Xiaoan ate after coming here.When my uncle came last time, the rice they bought from Sun Jingui's house for copper coins was mixed with other things. This time he bought a few catties of medium rice, but steamed a plate of clean rice.

"Brother, don't worry, there is still rice!" I bought rice, but I have no money to buy meat.What's more, Tian Xifan watched his purse very closely, even if he bought meat, he couldn't be pointed at his head.He simply forgot about the meat, and bought a catty of salt and a tube of sesame oil, and steamed rice with salt and sesame oil to eat.

Ye Youping nodded. Although he hadn't eaten such good rice for a long time, he didn't gobble it up.The two sat opposite each other under the tree, and slowly wiped out a plate of rice.

Now is not the time to be busy, adults and children gradually go to the house to rest after noon.In Baoping Village, Zhou Nan was driving an ox cart but just stopped in front of his house.

"Are you back? Come down and have a rest, let your father unload the car." Chen Xidi who was in the house heard the sound of his own cows, and hurried out.

"Well, have you eaten yet?" Zhou Bei got out of the car and stepped forward to ask.

"Just made it, haven't eaten it yet!" Chen Xidi responded with a smile, and said again: "What a coincidence that you two came back, you happened to have dinner together."

"Well, didn't I ask you to eat first? We are delayed by something, and you have to wait hungry." Zhou Nan jumped out of the car, and he knew that Chen Xidi's words were coaxing them.

"I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry. When the farming is busy, which one doesn't come back to cook after noon!" Zhou Lekang also came out. His family's cow has a strong temper. Every time he has to unload the truck himself, he is afraid that it will lose control and get hurt. child.

The two brothers looked at each other, helpless.One of them was studying in the town, and the other often ran outside. Whenever they said they would come back for dinner, Dad would wait for them.

"Okay, let's eat quickly, or the dishes will be cold." In the end, Zhou Bei spoke first, washed his hands and walked to the main hall.

The Zhou family's house only occupies about half an acre of land, but the rooms inside are set up like those of a big family, and are fully equipped for various purposes.There is a small room on the left and right sides of the entrance, which are used to store grain and farm tools respectively, and then there are four bedrooms in turn.In the middle is the patio, and the hall is directly opposite the gate.

Seeing him walking over, Chen Memo, who just said "the food is just ready", hastily lit the fire in the stove again, and reheated the dishes that had been in the pot all this time.

Zhou Nan saw it in his eyes, and his heart was full of warmth.So many years have passed in a blink of an eye, and he can't remember the previous home.Although it is poor here, he is willing to stay here.
