Crossing the Four Seasons Pastoral

Ye Youping took back the two old houses, but it caused a lot of trouble for Ye Daye and Ye's two families.The cows of Ye Gencai's family are an important property of the family. Although most of the family's property was emptied when they were bought, they have given birth to two calves in three years since they were bought, and they have basically earned back the original cost.Ye Gen has been fond of it since the beginning, if it is born every year, not only will it cost an ox to pull the plow for nothing, but it will also earn a few taels of silver.Which cow has this ability?

Therefore, when he saw that the eldest brother's family occupied the two old houses to store things, he insisted on finding the fourth child to "lend" the house to him to tie the cattle.After a long time, the old family's things could no longer be put down, and finally the family occupied a room.He Chunnan was very satisfied with this, so that not only the cattle would be well taken care of, but also the crops in the field would not have to worry about getting fat.Go to the house in three to two months to scatter some hay or straw, and it will be an excellent fertilizer after half a year.

But because Xu San called him there, Ye Gen thought that Xiao An's head had been smashed, and he was probably aroused with a bit of viciousness, so he even dared to challenge his elder brother.In order to avoid trouble, Ye Xiaoan asked him to take the cow away, and he did as well.Anyway, the cattle that have been locked up for three years, no matter how cleaned the house is, it is impossible for people to live in it.After a few days of limelight, he locked the cow in again.

Ye's family didn't have a cowshed either, so he tied the cows under his house that night.It was so dark outside that there was no place where he could rest assured.If you tie it closer, at least he can still hear a little noise.He just didn't expect that this matter would cause him a lot of trouble.

The Ye family's houses were originally close together, but later they were divided among the three brothers to draw a clear line and make partitions.But looking from the back of the house, the houses of the three families are still close together.Ye Gencai tied the cow under his house, but it was only two feet away from Ye Hefeng's house.

Ye Hefeng bumped into a nail in Ye Youping's hand during the day, and was very dissatisfied with a dumb person who ignored him, and then he was bumped into by someone and couldn't express his anger.Li Jinyuan was anxious about the two acres of land being sent back. Seeing that he hadn't figured out what the fourth child was thinking, he also said a few words in disappointment, but naturally he didn't notice that he was depressed.

All the little things add up to make Ye Hefeng feel that eating is not delicious and sleeping is not safe.At this moment, he heard heavy breathing coming from outside the window.

Naturally, there are petty thieves in the village, but the Ye family is not the only one here, and Ye Hefeng doesn't believe that there are young people who dare to come in.He tried to distinguish carefully again, but the voice disappeared.After waiting for a while, he only thought it was his own illusion.Unexpectedly, sleepiness finally brewed, and the sound of exhaling just now appeared again.

"Who's playing tricks there?" He lifted the quilt and got up, thinking that he must catch it.As long as the other party stood still, he would yell out to catch the thief, and many people would definitely come running over.

Standing under the window and waiting for half a stick of incense, when his patience gradually lost, he finally heard a slight friction again, as well as the exhalation sound that had appeared several times.

"Who is it? Catch a thief! Someone is going to enter the house!" Now that the ugly hour has passed, no one in the village moves around at all.What's more, if someone came over, they would call the door from a distance away, so it was impossible to sneak around like this.Because of this, Ye Hefeng was sure that the person outside must be a thief who wanted to break the door, and he wanted to light the oil lamp while calling for someone.

After all, he was only eleven or twelve years old, and the sudden sound just now had scared him enough.If he didn't want to teach the other party a good lesson, he would have scared them away by making a sound.

"What thief?" Ye Genbao was in a deep sleep when he was shaken awake by Li Jinyuan, got up and rushed out.

The door that was installed behind the partition of the house was still the same. Ye Genbao's eyes were blurred, and he ran outside the door to see the darkness, but his son was still shouting in the room.He looked in front of his son's house, and saw a vague black figure squatting on the ground at a glance, and immediately threw the wooden stick in his hand over.

"Moo..."

The cow, which was chewing its cud, was hit. After eating the pain, it let out a long cry and stood up anxiously.Ye Hefeng was running outside with an oil lamp, when he heard the sound, his vision almost went dark, how could there be cows outside the house?

The neighbors were only three or five steps away, and soon the nearest men from Liu Dingwen's family, Zhao Tiancai and Ye Gencai, came over.

"What happened? Ye Da, did someone touch the door?"

Zhao Tiancai also held a wooden stick as thick as his arm, thinking that their family had recruited a thief.But Ye Gencai heard his own cow bleating, and a carp stood up straight.

With the oil lamp in his son's hand, Ye Genbao could see clearly that the black shadow just now was not a squatting person at all, but a cow lying in a nest!As for the thief, he didn't even see a shadow.

"Hefeng, what's your name? Did you see the thief?" Ye Genbao was woken up by the push, and he didn't know what to do.When the cold wind blows in the middle of the night, I don't know if there are really thieves.

"Second Uncle, how can your cattle be tied up here?" Of course Ye Hefeng also saw the big cattle, and almost screamed.In his opinion, cows are dirty and smelly, so they should be kept away from people.

"Why can't I tie it under my own window?" Ye Gencai and his elder brother hadn't gotten along well ten years ago because of the dowry money.Therefore, he didn't have a good look at Ye Hefeng's words.

What's more, anyone who is sleeping soundly will not be in a good temper if he is woken up.

"Father, I really heard someone panting outside the window just now, that thief must have run away!" Ye Hefeng also remembered that this second uncle had always treated him badly, and turned to Ye Genbao and said.

"We came out as soon as you called out. Let's see, which direction can he run?" Ye Gencai was unwilling to let him go, especially after seeing the wooden stick on the ground.

"Heideng is blind, did Hefeng see someone? The exhalation sound you are talking about is not the exhalation of your second uncle's cow? How can it be so loud when people are panting!" After listening for a while, Zhao Tiancai also understood some.He looked at the windows only half a foot apart, and at the tied cattle, and couldn't help guessing.

"Look, scholars are really different. They can't even recognize a cow, so they're considered thieves!" Several people were silent for a while, before Ye Gen said sarcastically.

The year before last, his family's children had also reached school age, but he was not as lucky as his elder brother to have a free long-term worker who took care of the family's farm work. At that time, he had just bought a cow and couldn't afford it.Later, I sent it again, but my husband said that it was not suitable for studying. After studying for half a year, I didn't know a lot of characters, so I didn't want to go again.

"It's okay, I'll go back to bed first, and I have to rake the ground tomorrow!" Zhao Tiancai hurriedly found an excuse and left when he heard the bad tone.He has lived next to the Ye family for many years, but he knew that it would not be polite for the two brothers to quarrel.

The remaining three members of the Ye family, one sarcastically and secretly ridiculed that the child who came out of the farmer was frightened by the cow, and the other forbade the other party to tie the cow under the window no matter what, finally Ye Genbao got impatient and took his son to sleep, planning to Wait until tomorrow to theory.

Besides Ye Xiaoan, although spending money to buy ready-made quilts is a waste of money in Tian Xifan's words, but at least he slept comfortably that night.If he bought cotton, quilts and other things and did it himself, the money saved would not be enough for him to suffer.

Now that the weather has just turned warmer, there are a lot of wild vegetables in the field.The next day Tian Dazhuang not only brought two young and strong men, but even his father Tian Youshan came.Tian Xifan also came over to get fabrics for cutting clothes for them, and gave him a basket of wild vegetables by the way.

People here don't need to count auspicious days when they break ground, as long as they burn a stick of incense and tell the land god before digging the ground.Tian Dazhuang expected that their family was not prepared, so he brought the incense himself.After the incense burnt out, the four young men started to fight.

"Uncle Shan, drink a bowl of water." Ye Xiaoan himself is alone and unable to help, but Ye Youping works together.With Tian Youshan watching, he went to pour water.

"Don't worry, I just drank water from home!" Tian Youshan said, but still reached out to take the bowl.

"Brother Tian will cause trouble for you if you come to help, and you will waste Uncle Youshan's time watching here." In Ye Xiaoan's impression, Tian Youshan is a serious person, either working in the fields with his head bowed or at home He knocked on his pipe before, so he was not sure how he came here today.

"It's nothing, I'll just watch for a while. Someone took them with them before, and if the wall trenches can't be dug properly, the house won't be able to be built." Tian Youshan seemed to see his doubts, and explained in a low voice.Rich people will ask experienced people to lead them to do it, but Da Zhuang and the others come to help by themselves, so they are naturally embarrassed to bring others over.

"Thank you very much, Uncle Shan, we don't know that there are such specialties." Ye Xiaoan rubbed his head, he remembered that in the past at the eldest brother's house, no one cared about him when he was not fed or warm, at most he was given some ointment when he was injured Or when they met, they split their buns, and didn't think there were so many people willing to help him.Could this be the benefit of the traversers?

But he didn't know that before, when he lived in his eldest brother's house, he was regarded as a dependent. Even if life was not good, others would not dare to come to tell him.If he really said it, it would make his future life even more difficult if the two families basically had to fight against each other.The aggressive people will even ask people to produce evidence, otherwise they will inevitably be accused of deliberately destroying their reputation.Even if they want to help him, it will bring shame to the elder brother's family.

"I was still in the field on the day Da Zhuang was born. Thanks to your help, nothing happened. I can't help much, and I have to go to the field when they dig it up." Tian Youshan has always been reticent, but Or dryly explain to him.

"Okay, Uncle Shan, let's sit in the house first, we can't dig it out so soon!" Ye Xiaoan knew in his heart that this was a good relationship made by others, and also understood his good intentions, so he asked him to dig it out first. Go take a break.The room where Li Jinyuan stored his things had been tidied up a lot, and after putting Maza in, it could barely accommodate people.

The ditch in the wall must not be dug so quickly, and Tian Youshan did not refuse to go into the house.Ye Xiaoan asked him to rest in the house, and came out to get tools to help him run errands.

"Brother An!" He was about to roll up his sleeves and dig a few shovels, when someone from afar called him loudly.He looked up, but it was He Chunnan running like the wind, followed by Li Jinyuan, Ye Hefeng and others.
