Crossing the Four Seasons Pastoral

Both families have the intention to get married, which saves the most effort. Sun Yalin quickly found the village judge to meet with Chen Xidi, and made intensive plans to go to the Ye family to propose a marriage.

The most important thing in a new house is the new stove. The fire here seems to symbolize the popularity of a home. Only after the new stove is ready can people live in it.If an elder in the family dies, the old stove should be leveled and a new one should be built.According to the rules here, Ye Xiaoan waited obediently for one night after the new stove was built, planning to move in the next day.They didn't plan to have a drink, and the old and new houses were so close together that they didn't need to notify their relatives and friends. The brothers just moved in.

Zhou Nan appeared for two days in a row. Ye Xiaoan thought he would come to the village again, but he didn't expect that he would never show up again the next day after the new stove was finished.But because of the work in the field, he quickly forgot about it.

Most of the seedling fields are already green, and the seedlings can be transplanted in about ten days.But God didn't give me face, it didn't rain for a long time.As a result, the water in the river became the object of competition. Many people looked at the water allocated to their fields and refused to go away, fearing that others would dig it up.

Ye Youping doesn't have much land, but he has always been meticulous in his work, so naturally he is not willing to relax at this time.Ye Xiaoan had no choice, and finally agreed to take turns guarding with him.Seeing that life is going on the right side, it doesn't matter if you suffer a little bit.But he didn't expect that rumors about him would fly all over the sky again overnight.

"What did you say?" Ye Xiaoan had just returned home after washing his clothes, and he saw so many blinking eyes at him along the way.When I saw a few children bouncing around and muttering words, I couldn't help but walk up to ask them with a cold face.

The four children who were gathered together moved away with a whoosh, and when the leading child saw him clearly, he turned around again, made a face, and shouted loudly, "Shameless!"

In fact, after piecing together all the way, Ye Xiaoan already roughly knew that the news was probably from Ye Hefeng.What was going on in the mountains, hooking up men to help him with work, was so rumored that there was no shadow, and it was the first time that he had seen the power of rumors that were stronger than tigers.

To put it bluntly, this is also the root of evil in many people's hearts.They may not believe in their hearts that Ye Xiaoan "hooked up" others, but since someone first said it as a talking point, they just listened to it, and even said it as a joke again.The more I hear it, the more it seems to be the case.Naturally, one has to adopt an attitude of disgust and avoidance, otherwise wouldn't it become a faction?

Maybe one day, someone will stand up and prove that what they said is nothing, they will put away their contemptuous eyes, but they will not have any regrets for today's slander.And he would rather believe that these seven or eight-year-old children recited these words unintentionally imitating.

Seeing the grimace of the child rolling his eyes, Ye Xiaoan didn't chase after him, but walked slowly towards the house.After he left, Zhang Honger, who had been quietly hiding behind the house, came out and handed a piece of caramel the size of a thumb to the leading child.

"Uncle Zhao, what do you mean by stealing a man?" Wrapping the caramel in straw paper the size of a palm and smashing it with stones, several children rushed forward to snatch it all.In the end, they licked their fingers unsatisfied, and only then did a younger child timidly ask.

"Go home and ask your father!" Zhang Hong'er waved her hand, she didn't want to hang out with these brats anymore, and walked away proudly.Want to fight him?Don't even look at your own ability!If you dare to step on his sore spots, you must teach him a lesson.

The door of the new house finally had a latch, and as long as it was latched, it was no longer a place where anyone could enter and exit casually.Ye Xiaoan pushed open the door and walked in. The house is not big but bright, looking at it makes people feel at ease.He was silent for a while before scooping water from the water tank to wash his hands and start cooking.

The previous habit of eating porridge for breakfast was quickly changed here. The working hours were long and intense, and it was impossible to make it through noon without eating dry rice.He and Ye Youping's cooking skills are very average, and they can barely steam the rice into raw rice.

The daily meal is steamed in the pot when he wakes up. As for the vegetables, sometimes Ye Youping picked wild vegetables when he was working outside, or eggs he bought when he went to the market.The meat has not been stored for a long time, and even the eggs were brought back secretly, lest someone come over and say that he can't live.

The rapeseeds planted in the vegetable field have just sprouted, and they will be ready to eat after the seedlings are planted.He sprinkled a large pinch of salt and fried two eggs, then added half a teaspoon of water to make egg soup.This is also a new technique he has learned here. Later, each person will catch an egg, and then use egg soup to make rice is enough.

After finishing these, he was hesitating whether to send the rice to the field, when he heard a sound, Ye Youping had come back.

"Fourth brother, it's time to eat."

Ye Youping glanced at the food on the stove, gave him a thumbs up, and then told him with gestures that the two mu of land farthest from the river had been flooded.As for the remaining mu of land, it was the closest to the water source, and they could rest for a day before going.

In addition to the stove hole where two large pots and one small pot can be placed in the stove room, a five-foot-square field was built with stones in the corner for stacking firewood. At this time, the two sat side by side on the edge of the field.

Ye Xiaoan felt that such food was bland, but Ye Youping ate it very vigorously.Until he added more rice, he found that his brother's bowl was still full of rice, and he frowned, so he quickly reached out and patted his shoulder, and pressed the center of his eyebrow with his index finger.

Only then did Ye Xiaoan realize that she had been frowning all the time, and hurriedly shook her head at him to show that it was okay.At first, he could accept staying in this place, but he actually wanted to repay Ye Youping's thoughtfulness for saving him, but it was only now that he realized that he even handled the field work properly, and instead, he kept worrying about trivial matters.

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that even if he could go out and deny the rumors now, what's the point?Those who believed in him would naturally believe in him, so why should he care about other people's words?As for the matter of Ye Hefeng, he didn't bother to reveal it. On the day when the fire could not be wrapped up in paper, there would be a day when it would be exposed, and even his younger brother would not be able to bear it sooner or later when he was wronged.

The only thing he has to do now is to cheer up quickly. With this season's harvest, he can also fiddle with doing something to make money.It's been a long time, who still has time to arrange his music?

After he figured it out, he had hope in his heart again, and he followed Ye Youping to plow the ground with the hoe on his shoulder.

"Brother An, brother An! Someone is coming to your house!" Digging the ground with a hoe is not a joy. Even Ye Xiaoan felt that he was young and strong, and he had to sit on the field stalk to rest after half an hour.Tian Xifan ran over in one breath at this time, his face was flushed and he didn't stop to take a breath, as if his house was on fire.

Ye Xiaoan wore a big straw hat that almost covered his entire face. He spit out the grass stalk he was biting in his mouth when he heard the sound, and asked feebly, "Who's here? My eldest brother, second brother or third brother?"

In short, none of the three elder brothers wanted him to live a happy life. The third elder brother came to the door the day before yesterday to express that they could do the work in the field together, and asked them to fill up the water in the field first.

Hehe, you all think he is a fool, and you will believe him if you say a word?

"No, no, nothing." During the conversation, Tian Xifan had already run up to him, his head shook like a rattle, swallowed his saliva before saying: "Someone came to your house to propose marriage!"

Ye Xiaoan was so shocked by the word "propose marriage" that he hadn't recovered yet. Someone in the field next to him was drinking water and sprayed out the water with a "poof", laughed twice and said, "Brother Fan, who I asked you to come here to report the letter? Come, tell Uncle Zhong who is proposing marriage? To whom?"

Only then did Tian Xifan remember that his aunt asked him to tell Xiao An quietly, he shook his hand annoyed, and seeing the man's expression of interest, he said, "Of course my father asked me to come. If you're not at home, someone will Brother Yuan, I will send you a message as well."

Hearing this, the man covered the water pot resentfully, and said: "No wonder everyone says you have a good mouth, and I'll see who will bring gifts to your house then!"

Tian Xifan was angry again, and was about to reply, when he suddenly remembered that he had been taught a lesson by Momo last night, so he swallowed the words reluctantly.If there is an outstanding brother in the village, he can be married to someone at the age of eleven or twelve.He looks like he has a good family background and good craftsmanship, but it's because others secretly say that he is too eloquent, and no one has come to visit him until now.

Seeing that he was not angry, Ye Xiaoan took his hand.Tian Xifan remembered the posture of the family coming to propose marriage again, and became excited again in an instant: "Brother An, go back quickly, your house is still locked!"

"Which family is proposing marriage?" Ye Xiaoan felt that his brain was aching again, he recognized almost all the families in the village, and he really couldn't think of anyone who would pick this time to visit.The sages say that when you are full and warm, you think about lust. If you are not busy with the work in the field now, who is in the mood to think about life's major issues!

"I... I didn't see it clearly." Tian Xifan wanted to sneak a few more glances, but was hurriedly pushed away by his aunt. Seeing that Ye Xiaoan's face was not happy at all, he added: "It's not from our village, I heard the voice coming from outside the village." Besides, no one in their village was willing to bring out so many gifts, even if the village head's family married a son, they only carried two cabinets.

"No matter who it is, Brother Xiaoan, let Brother Ping go back quickly!" Ye Xiaoan was still thinking hard, Tian Xifan quickly reminded him.It is one thing to agree or not to get married, but this etiquette cannot be neglected.

Ye Xiaoan had no choice but to make gestures with Jian Jian and Ye Youping to clarify the family affairs, and the two packed up their hoes and rushed home aggressively.
