Crossing the Four Seasons Pastoral

In early spring in March, the mountains are full of lush greenery.On the hillside, Ye Xiaoan sweated profusely to dig up the tree stumps one by one, and dug up the thorns in them.

The bird does not stand on thorns is a common shrub in Linxia Village. The branches are hard and the leaves have thorns. As the name suggests, even birds cannot stand on this kind of shrub.Which family in the village does not raise a few poultry, and sometimes there is someone else's farmland in front of the house, and it is inevitable that they will peck at the crops and cause a verbal dispute.

Birds can grow to a height of more than ten feet in two years without standing on thorns, and the branches and leaves are also very lush, so it is not easy to be taken advantage of.If a circle of birds is planted around the front and back of the house, it can block chickens and ducks from running outside without standing on thorns.When Ye Xiaoan got the news, he went up to the mountain to dig. There was also someone else's dry land behind his house.

"Ouch, brother, what are you doing!"

A boy's voice suddenly came from the front, accompanied by a burst of noise, making Ye Xiaoan frown involuntarily.

There are actually quite a few thorns growing on the mountain, but he just wanted to find a place on the side of the road to dig, and now he can see the scene on the road with his probe.

There were two teenagers standing there, the younger one was sitting on the ground, and the other stood in front of him and looked down at him.

"What did you just say?" Ye Hefeng looked at his younger brother on the ground with a ferocious expression, but he was panicked in his heart.

"Hmph, sir, you said that if you want others to know you have to do it yourself, have you forgotten? You obviously haven't passed the children's test, and you have always told your father to wait until next year to take the test. You are afraid that if your father finds out, you won't be able to get it." Silver flower, right?" Ye Herong gritted his teeth and said.

Although they are brothers who are also studying in the town, but because of a few compliments from their husband, the treatment of the two of them at home is quite different.Every month my elder brother took one-third more pocket expenses than he did, not to mention the money he asked his father for every time in the name of buying pens and ink.On weekdays, he has to help with the housework, but his elder brother serves him with everything that is delicious and useful, without lifting a finger.How is it now?Can't even pass the child test!

"Do you think you can pass the exam with your ability? Don't tell daddy. At worst, I will accompany you up the mountain to cut firewood!" Ye Hefeng finally put down his fist, and he was not sure about defeating this brute brother. , then it’s better to suffer some disadvantages, anyway, sitting at home is also boring.

"Chop firewood with me?" Ye Herong stood up and patted the dirt on his back, as if he had told a joke.After a few days, they all went to the town, and he didn't do anything?What's more, if the firewood chopping is not done well, Dad will only scold himself, but he has gained a reputation for being diligent.Just like today, he actually said that he would come for an outing!

"Then what do you want?" Ye Hefeng was ashamed and indignant at his laughter, it was just that he missed the Tong trial!Those in the school whose essays are written like a ball of paste can pass, how could he be unqualified!

"In the future, I will share half of the money that Daddy gave you behind his back, and you will stop me from working when Daddy asks me to work, and I will also read books." Ye Herong was not polite, and directly stated two conditions.

Ye Xiaoan was very interested in watching it, and everyone said that the children in the past were simple, but look at this ten-year-old child, it is really not easy to talk about conditions.

However, the drama of brothers fighting against the wall is probably due to his good elder brother. Just looking at the memory of the original owner will show how bad their temperament is.Thinking of this, he lost interest, and took a break for a while, then picked up the hoe and continued digging.

He was upright in his heart, but unexpectedly Ye Hefeng pretended not to care, but in his heart he still regarded Tong's failure in the test as a great shame.Ever since my younger brother said it, his body has been tense to pay attention to the movement around him, for fear of being overheard by a third person.As soon as he moved, Ye Hefeng heard a sound.When he saw clearly that it was him, his face turned even darker like the bottom of a burnt pot.

"Why are you here?" Ye Hefeng left his younger brother and walked over, asking aggressively.

Ye Xiaoan rolled his eyes and said: "The road faces both sides, you can control whoever passes by?" Just look at their family, they used to rely on the help of the fourth brother to work, let's see how they live this year.

Ye Hefeng had just suffered a loss at the hands of his younger brother, and his heart was in a panic.Suddenly seeing a person who was despised by Momo as worthless, he immediately took him as a punching bag.He said that purely to find fault, but Ye Xiaoan didn't expect Ye Xiaoan to dare to choke with him.

"Okay! You both bully me, don't you?" Ye Hefeng has always been indoctrinated with the identity concept of the eldest grandson of Ye's parents. Poor ghost at his house.In the past few days, Ye Youping ignored her and was threatened by his younger brother one after another. Now even Ye Xiaoan dared to speak to him loudly, the anger in his heart was at its peak, and he was about to charge towards Ye Xiaoan with a hatchet in his hand.

The mountain road is inherently rugged. Although it is not a dense forest, there are also many small bushes.Ye Xiaoan saw clearly the dazzling hatchet in his hand, he was not ashamed of his vicious thoughts but he was not afraid.With his strength, it is impossible to catch up with him.

So when Ye Hefeng ran over, Ye Xiaoan only stepped aside a little.Just as he was about to look for a space to sarcastically say something to him, he suddenly found another person jumping out from the oblique ground, his body flashed three or two times and restrained him.The hatchet fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

"It's you?" After the other party stood still, Ye Xiaoan saw the appearance of that person clearly, and couldn't help being a little surprised.In just a few days, they have met for the third time, and each time the location is different.

"En." Zhou Nan ignored Ye Hefeng's struggle, twisted his hands behind his back, looked down to see that the clothes on his body were not messed up, and then smiled at Ye Xiaoan.

Ye Xiaoan also took a good look at him. Although he didn't have much common knowledge about this place, he also knew that most people would not wear robes to go up the mountain.Not to mention working, it would be nice not to trip over such a long hem.And I didn't see when he came up just now, he looked calm and relaxed, not in the slightest bit of embarrassment.

"My name is Zhou Nan." Seeing that he was silent, Zhou Nan took the initiative to say.

"Thank you for your rescue. My name is Ye Xiaoan." Ye Xiaoan hurriedly thanked, although he thought Ye Hefeng's posture of falling on all fours was more interesting, but it was also neat for him to solve it this way.

"I know." Zhou Nan had a look at him from a distance last time, and he couldn't help but come here again today.Because he was getting close to Tian Dazhuang in the name of Yan's brothers, when he heard that he had gone up the mountain, he wobbled and walked up.Unexpectedly, their fate is not shallow, and they are walking the same path.Before Ye Hefeng appeared, he had watched it quietly for a long time.

"Huh?" Ye Xiaoan was a little surprised. He knew that Zhou Nan was not from Linxia Village, and he never told him his name.Could it be that his "reputation" has spread?

"Uh, I got it." Zhou Nan realized that he almost missed something, his face became slightly hot, and he repeated it.

They talked leisurely, but the Ye brothers couldn't hold their breath anymore.Ye Herong was afraid that his brother would be scolded when he returned home after being injured, so he hurried over.Ye Hefeng cursed and cursed, nothing more than threatening words.

"Don't play with a hatchet if you don't have the skills." Zhou Nan lowered his head and his eyes became sharp, successfully shutting Ye Hefeng up.Then he kicked lightly with his toes, and the hatchet flew up from the ground and landed in front of Ye Herong.The two of them were frightened, so they let go of their hands and said, "Get off the mountain right now!"

Ye Hefeng and the others were planning to go down the mountain. Although they lost face by his actions, they were scared out of their wits and left without saying a word.

"It turns out that this hand can still keep the ears clean. I want to learn it." Ye Xiaoan clicked his tongue and bent down to pick up the hoe on the ground.As soon as he stood up straight, he heard a "swipe", and the clothes on his back were pulled away from under the shoulder blades by Niaobuzhan.

Zhou Nan's eyes were locked on him, but now he saw the skin under the cut clothes at a glance.Unlike the pampered fair-skinned one, who even faintly revealed thin bones, it made him swallow his saliva.

"Broken? Is the hole big?" Ye Xiaoan noticed the look in his eyes and felt a little annoyed.Just now, I clearly knew that there was a big plant next to me, but I forgot to say a few words.These are still new clothes that have just been cut. The key is that he doesn't know how to do needlework, and he might have to find someone else to mend them.

"It's very big, why don't I go down and get you a piece of clothing? Soon." Zhou Nan was caught peeping, and turned his eyes almost ashamed.He has a good body, and he only wears one at this time, and he can't take it off for him to cover it up.

"Why? No need, it's not cold this day." In Ye Xiaoan's mind, playing ball with his shirt on or going to the bathroom with his clothes off are perfectly normal things. How could he think that a hole in his clothes is also related to "innocence".

"But..." Zhou Nan didn't like it anymore. Boys like them were always wrapped up tightly by them. If they walked down the mountain like this, many people would have to watch it!

"It seems that you are very straightforward in your work, what else is it? I still have to carry these things home, and if I take another one, it might be scratched." Ye Xiaoan said, holding the hoe to dig out the bird without standing. The thorn hangs from the end, which actually hides the hole from behind.

Seeing this, Zhou Nan couldn't say anything more, and kept standing directly behind him after going down the mountain.

The way the two walked one after the other attracted the attention of many passers-by, especially Zhou Nan, who was still a stranger.While Ye Xiaoan just walked with his head down, Zhou Nan smiled back at all the eyes, which made people think differently.

The fact that his son disappeared early in the morning made Chen Xidi very anxious. He heard the movement when he was changing into new clothes, but he would never find it after packing up.

"Beizi, do you know where your brother has gone?" Thinking of the frequent whispers between the two brothers, Chen Xidi rushed into the study and asked.

"Brother didn't tell me, what's the matter?" Zhou Nan raised his head from the book, his brother had a lot of things to do and would often run out, and he had never seen them so anxious.

"I told him that I'm going to propose a marriage today, why is he gone?" Chen Xidi walked around the house, not in such a hurry in the past ten years.

"I said you are in a hurry and confused, right? Xiao Nan can't go with you today anyway, he might as well go to see that little brother if he has the time!" Zhou Lekang came over to remind him that the auspicious time would be over if he didn't go out.

Only then did Chen Xidi realize that the boy who is going to propose a marriage today cannot go to the other party's house. Xiao Nan must not have forgotten it, but he was confused for a while.He quickly left the father and son in the house and hurried out.
