reborn as a brother

At the end of April, the temperature gradually rises, and it is already possible to wear thin long gowns when working during the day.

The sun is shining, the wind is blowing, and it is bright.

At a glance, the fields are lush and full of freshly sown seedlings, nourished by the sun and rain, and the growth is particularly gratifying.

Brother Zhang San was tending the vegetable field in front of the house, Ji Anyi was chopping the dried bamboo shoots, and Wang Baoer was clearing the soybeans beside him.

The small wooden bed was moved under the sycamore tree, the little fat man slept soundly in it, the rhubarb and the little yellow lay lazily beside it, and the ewe gnawed on the grass not far away.

There was the sound of clucking chickens, and another hen laid eggs.

Wang Baoer listened, without raising her head, she continued to work with her hands, and said. "Should I buy some eggs for the village chief? There are enough tea eggs in the shop. It's getting hotter this day, and it's easy to cause bad things if you save them."

"When you're done with what you're doing, I'll check it out and I'll send it over." The work in the vegetable field was almost done, Brother Zhang San squeaked, thinking of another matter. "Brother Ji, do you want this year's jam boss? It's almost May, and the village chief said that the fruit will be harvested in May, so we can't wait for the fruit to ripen."

If Boss Su wants jam, he doesn't have to pick the fruit.If you don't want it, you have to pick it up and buy it for the village chief.

Ji Anyi pushed the chopped bamboo shoots into the barrel, put down the kitchen knife, and prepared to rest his wrist for a while. "The day before yesterday I asked Xiao Mu to tell Boss Su, and I guess I'll get a letter within two days."

"Daughter-in-law. I caught two small fish." Not far away, Wang Xiaoer ran home excitedly with a small wooden barrel in one hand and a hoe in the other. "Let's make soup tonight."

After approaching, he joyfully brought the small wooden barrel in front of Ji Anyi. "The stomach is clean."

"Take a bowl and put it aside. Stew soup for dinner at night." Looking at it twice, Ji Anyi stood up with a smile, poured a glass of water and drank it by himself, and seeing that Wang Xiaoer was done with work, he poured another glass of water for him. "Is the land in the mountain col ready?"

Wang Xiaoer took the water, gulped it down in one gulp, wiped his face, nodded and smiled cheerfully. "This year the tree is full of fruit."

"Are you still walking in the fruit forest?" At this moment, Ji Anyi thought he was busy in the mountain depression.

"Hey." Wang Xiaoer looked at him with bright black eyes, full of joy. "Passing by a few fruit trees at Uncle Zhong's house, looking at the trees full of fruits, I felt itchy, so I turned around and went to our fruit forest to have a look."

Brother Zhang San went into the house to put a hoe. Hearing this, he answered. "It's a happy new year. Walking around the village, the fruit trees planted in front of the house are full of fruit. Just looking at the fruit of that tree, I can't help but want to laugh."

"The first half of this year is tax-free, and all the money we earn is ours. With this fine weather again, everyone walks with a smile." Wang Baoer talked about soaking soybeans again. "It's even more joyful that the millet harvest in the first half of the year has a bumper harvest."

"I'll clean the eggs and take them to the head of the village." After washing his hands, Brother Zhang San wiped his hands and said something.

To avoid looking back and being busy, I forgot again.The eyes are getting hotter this day, and the eggs can't stand it for a long time.

Wang Baoer stopped what she was doing. "I have that too. I'll pack it up and you can carry it together."

"Daughter-in-law. Do you want to cut all the bamboo shoots?" Wang Xiaoer went outside and raised his voice to ask.

Ji Anyi is sprinkling some salt on the little fish, good evening stewing soup. "Well. It's all cut."

Here, Wang Baoer had just left the house and was about to enter her own home, tidy up the eggs, looked up and saw a familiar carriage, she was stunned, and then shouted in surprise. "Ji Geer, Boss Su is here."

"Boss Su is here?" Brother Zhang San, who was counting eggs, was taken aback for a moment, then got up and walked out.

Ji Anyi neatly put the fish into the kitchen cabinet, washed his hands again, and then went out of the house. When he passed by Wang Xiaoer, he saw that he was carefully chopping the bamboo shoots, but the pieces were a bit small and a little gritty. "Idiot, the wire is too thin, please make it wider."

"The thinner the more." Wang Xiaoer replied seriously with his head tilted.

"Moji. It doesn't add weight." Ji Anyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder. "Cut it wider. Besides, if you cut it so thin, it won't look like much, but it will look less. If you don't believe it, you should pile up two plates."

Wang Xiaoer's eyes widened, he looked at the dried bamboo shoots he had cut, and then at the dried bamboo shoots his wife had just cut, guessing that he was secretly comparing them in his heart, and when the comparison was over, he smiled silly at his daughter-in-law laugh.

Obviously a little guilty. "Let's eat these by ourselves?" Pointing to the shredded bamboo shoots that had just been cut, these two kinds of bamboo shoots don't quite fit together.

"Yes. It's okay to eat fried meat at night." Ji Anyi agreed with a smile.

Wang Xiaoer grinned and laughed cheerfully, and stood up for himself. "Daughter-in-law, I won't cut it wrong this time. Be more generous, I know."

"Long time no see. It seems that life is going very well." Su Jinming waved his peach blossom fan and floated over in the posture of a jade tree facing the wind.

It is said that other people's lives are beautiful, but at a glance, his own life is even more beautiful. I haven't seen him for a while, and this person has grown into a flower.

Ji Anyi looked Su Jinming up and down, with obvious ridicule in his eyes. "It was moist enough."

"To each other." Su Jinming raised his eyebrows. "I've heard about your shop a long time ago. At that time, I was entangled in something and couldn't come here. No, after the matter was settled, Le Dian Le Dian rushed over." He said again. "It belongs to me, but there is nothing missing, I want everything."

"Sit inside or outside?" Ji Anyi asked this question because the weather was fine today.

Su Jinming started shaking his fan again. "The sycamore tree behind your house is nice, let's sit there."

Behind the house, the little fat man woke up in a daze, rubbing his eyes. With big round eyes, he stared blankly at the dense leaves above his head. The sunlight fell through the gaps in the leaves. He blinked and closed his eyes again. , the small body twisted and turned around.

Lie on the ground quietly for a while, opened his eyes again, kicked the chubby legs, kicked off the quilt, stretched his hands to reach his little head, saw the rhubarb lying on the ground, grinned and stretched out his hand Want to pull its big tail.

Sensing the movement, Rhubarb stood up immediately, moved closer to the small wooden bed, raised his head slightly to look at the little fat man, saw him stretching out his hand, and took two steps to the left, his tail just landed on the side of the little fat man's hand, looking naughty Shaking it and tickling the little fat man's hand, the little fat man smiled even more happily.

Xiao Huang on the other side also stood up, did not move, just raised his head to look at the child in the small wooden bed, and then half of his body lay down under the small wooden bed, balancing the small wooden bed so as not to fall.

These were taught to them by Ji Anyi.

The smiling fat man suddenly stopped smiling, his big round eyes rolled around, he didn't know what he was thinking, he seemed to be a little troubled.

When Da Huang saw it, he tilted his head, and then barked twice towards the entrance of the house.

Ji Anyi and the others were coming this way, when they heard Da Huang's voice, they rushed over in three steps at a time.

The little fat man with frowning brows saw Ah Mo coming, opened his hands and yelled vaguely.

"Are you awake?" Wang Baoer knew that he would pee as soon as he woke up, presumably because he wanted to pee.

Coming to the small wooden bed, he urinated the little fat man neatly.

The little fat man stared at Su Jinming seriously with his big eyes.

"Little fat man, do you still know me?" Su Jinming smiled and stood beside him, gently picking up the little fat man's chin with a peach blossom fan.

The little fat man's eyes fell from his face to his fan, and he smiled cheerfully, opening his little paws, ready to grab a new toy.

"Only boiled water." Ji Anyi brought two glasses of water and brought two chairs over.

"Plain water is also delicious." Su Jinming gave the fan to the little fat man to play with, took the cup and sat next to Ji Anyi, and just as he sat down, he lightly kicked Rhubarb twice. "These two dogs have grown more and more attractive."

Fascinating... that's the word.Ji Anyi felt goosebumps all over his body, and said without hesitation. "It's a bit of a cold word to use."

"In my eyes, they are so charming." At first, he wanted to open the fan, but suddenly remembered that the fan was still playing in the hands of the little fat man. Su Jinming laughed twice, and changed the subject without a trace. "You are a bit unkind. Your own shop is unique and beautiful, but you don't know how to give me advice."

Knowing that he would talk about it, Ji Anyi muttered in his heart, but didn't show it on his face. "Just thinking about it. It's just a small shop, incomparable to the big shop in your hands." Not wanting to talk about it, he paused and said. "You already know about my well water."

"I know." Su Jinming replied quickly, looking at Ji Anyi, he didn't quite understand. "What are you thinking?" It doesn't look right.

"Without the well water, the dried stewed radish and dried garlic radish at home will not be kept secret. The business is not very good, so I thought, do you want to continue to make it? Fish sauce and jam are still good, yes Yes, the lo mei in the store is also available, there are ready-made ones at home, let me serve you a taste? There are also tea eggs, I think the taste is good, let me give you a taste too?" Although it was a question, After asking, Ji Anyi got up and walked into the kitchen to make arrangements.

Su Jinming sat and waited, and while he was waiting, he teased the little fat man for a while. "The child is growing up well."

Wang Bao'er was naturally happy when her child was praised, and smiled foolishly.

In front of Su Jinming, they are somewhat restrained, which is different from Ji Anyi's naturalness and magnanimity.

After a while, Ji Anyi came over with a plate of lo mei.

"I'll take the child around." Wang Baoer got up, hugged the little fat man and left, and asked the little fat man to return the fan to Su Jinming before leaving.

Da Huang and Xiao Huang wagged their tails and happily followed, ready to play with the little fat man.

"Dried braised tofu, this is not dipped in sauce. The taste is mellow and fragrant, dipped in sauce, it will prolong its aftertaste, and the taste will be more vivid. The taste of braised bamboo shoots is similar, compared with braised tofu, a little more The unique taste of the bamboo shoots is wonderful. The rest is stewed pork, which is not as good as the recipe obtained by the Wei family, but the taste is still very good, and now, the business of the stewed meat shop in the town is also good." Ji Anyi briefly introduced a few words .

While he was talking, Su Jinming tasted the delicacy in his hands slowly, eating very seriously, to the point of concentrating.

Ji Anyi watched from the side, feeling the urge to wipe off his sweat.

It was just eating something, and he was too focused. He didn't think his food could be so delicious.

Thinking about it, Ji Anyi didn't say anything, and gave enough time for Su Jinming to enjoy it slowly.

"You have melon seeds on your head, it's really amazing." After a while, the plate of lo mei was almost eaten, and the tea eggs were finished. Su Jinming took a sip of water, leaned back on the chair, and looked at the lush greenery. The leaves sighed, looking at the dots of sunlight.

Ji Anyi really didn't know how to answer these words, so he laughed twice.

After a moment of silence, Su Jinming's slow voice sounded again. "You said, I am your nobleman. Speaking of which, you should be my nobleman."

"Did you run into a ghost today?" Just now I thought he was having a convulsion, but now hearing this, Ji Anyi felt that this person might have something on his mind.

"I'll just tell you the truth, how could it be a ghost encounter?" Su Jinming's bright and sad state immediately disappeared completely, and he waved the fan randomly twice. "I want everything."

This sudden and childish, what's going on?Ji Anyi was a little bored, put aside his doubts for a while, and replied. "Success. How much do you want? I can't leave too much for the time being. There are a lot of things to be busy at home. Besides, I don't want to be too tired. Earning money is almost enough. I also want to spare some time to steal a half-day leisure."

"How many goods are there at home now?" Su Jinming asked and muttered again. "That's why you think you earn too much money."

Ji Anyi thought about it. "It's not much, just about two days' worth of goods in the shop. I definitely can't give it to you right away. You can tell me the quantity first, and I'll make it for you in the next few days. Let Xiaomu come and get it later."

"It's okay. Give me [-] catties for all the goods. [-] catties each of dried braised radish and spicy garlic radish. How much jam do you want? Fish sauce is [-] catties per month. No sour bamboo shoots this year?" Su Jinming asked sentence.

"No. I've dried them into bamboo shoots." Ji Anyi pointed to the stewed bamboo shoots. "That's right. There are no dried radishes yet. It's only the end of April, and there are no radishes."

Su Jinming listened, didn't pay much attention, waved his hands and said. "When the time comes, I will ask Xiaomu to come and pick up the goods. From now on, the amount of dried radish and fish sauce will be the same, and I will come to pick it up once a month. As for the braised meat, I will have to run back and forth every now and then. I will talk about it at that time. In terms of price, it depends on your town. What is the purchase price at the above price?"

"Okay." Ji Anyi readily agreed. "The tea eggs will lose their taste after a long time. It's best to make them on the same day and sell them the next day. It's a bit far from Jingyang Town to Wanjing City. I'll give you the recipe directly. It's easy and not difficult."

"Alright." Su Jinming agreed to the matter without saying anything.

The two of them drew up the document familiarly, signed and printed it.

After the business was over, Su Jinming asked him. "I'll be back in Wanjing in two days, do you want to go and have a look together?"

"It will take several days to go back and forth, so let's forget it. There are a lot of things at home recently." Ji Anyi prefers to stay in Hexi Village, where it is clean and leisurely. Even if the material life is not high, it is still very comfortable and comfortable.

"Okay. Ask Xiaomu if you need anything, and let him tell me." Seeing that the time was almost up, Su Jinming didn't stay any longer, got into the carriage and left in a hurry.

Wang Xiaoer carried the wooden barrel into the kitchen. "Daughter-in-law, the bamboo shoots are ready."

"Well. I'll come to Zhang Luo tonight." Ji Anyi responded, walked over, handed the document to Wang Xiaoer, and explained what happened just now in detail.

Wang Xiaoer glanced at it, and stuffed the document into his daughter-in-law's hand. "You take it. I'll go and bring the cow back."

"Okay." After Wang Xiaoer left, he glanced left and right, seeing no one around, Ji Anyi threw the paper into the space, and went out of the kitchen to get busy with other things.

Entering the middle of May, the atmosphere in the village is obviously much happier, and everyone's face is filled with excited smiles.

Looking up and seeing everywhere, someone is carefully picking the still green fruit with a wooden bucket. You can hear them chatting cheerfully about homework while picking the fruit, and their tone is full of happiness.

"The fruit tree at home will bear fruit next year, and I hope it can bear the same fruit as this year." Taking advantage of the time now, Wang Baoer wove straw sandals.

When the busy farming season comes, the straw sandals won't last long, so I need to weave a few more pairs and put them away. When I get busy later, I won't be free, and I can't work barefoot.

Brother Zhang San listened and said something with a smile. "The fruit tree at home is a new tree, no matter how much fruit it bears, it won't go much. But the fruit tree in Uncle Liu's family is several years old, and the fruit this year is really gluttonous."

"Speaking of it, it's a little slow to get money for planting fruit trees, but it's still quite profitable if there are ways to sell them." Ji Anyi said with a smile.

"Yes. Even the risk is high." Saying that, Wang Baoer smiled again. "Speaking of which, it's risky to do anything, and it's not difficult for God to make any money for a living."

"Ji Geer, Ji Geer." The three of them were talking when they saw Liu Xiu rushing towards him like a gust of wind.

Ji Anyi looked up, smiled and got up. "Axiu is here."

"Why do you want me to come over and ask, do you want this year's apricot?" Liu Xiu said while panting.

Brother Zhang San hurriedly took a chair behind him. "Sit down." He went into the room and poured water.

"This." Ji Anyi thought for a while and replied. "Buy it for the village chief."

"That's OK. Then I'll go there first." With the answer, Liu Xiu hurried away again.

Brother Zhang San was coming out with water, and when he saw it, he was stunned. "What's the rush? It's not the busy season yet."

"The child has grown up." Looking at Liu Xiu's figure, Wang Baoer said with a smile on her face.

Unexpectedly, not long after, Zhong San also came over, asking about Xing.

Ji Anyi gave the same answer.

Towards evening, even Uncle Liu came over, still asking about Xing.

This time, Ji Anyi thought about it and asked Uncle Liu to sell him the apricots, so that he wouldn't have to collect apricots from other people's houses.

As far as the hills of his house and Liu Bo’s are concerned, the apricots from the two hills are almost enough to make jam.

When the apricots in the village are almost all picked, there are only a few pitiful ones left on the branches, and they will be picked and eaten by themselves when they are ripe.

The days have entered June, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. The apricots are slowly changing color, from green to mature.

Ji Anyi's family is about to get busy.

The little fat man is more than one year old, and his walking is getting more and more stable. He looks wobbly, but he won't fall.

The wooden railing chair couldn't hold him anymore, and the small wooden bed couldn't hold him anymore. He could easily flip down the small wooden bed and get up to pee by himself.

Of course, Da Huang and Xiao Huang have been taught, let them stand by and protect them.

When the adults were busy working like spinning tops all day long, he took the rhubarb and little yellow, and the little ginseng hiding in the dark, and had a great time running around and having fun.

In the summer, I put a bellyband on him, but he was so happy that he laughed all day long.

Considering the problem of mosquitoes, several adults deliberately spent an evening to thoroughly clear the grass around the house, and also cleaned the gutters again.

The play area of ​​the little fat man is around the cleaned house.

There was a low mat under the sycamore tree, and when he was tired from playing, he lay down on it and fell asleep soundly.

Da Huang and Xiao Huang lay beside him and guarded him.

Rhubarb and Xiao Huang are sensible and smart. They looked at the little fat man and they really didn't make any mistakes. After a long time, the adults can rest assured that they can devote themselves to the busy farming work.

June is busy with cargo volume, and July is busy with farming.

The goods have to be delivered, the shops in the town have to be taken care of, and the busy farming in the field has to be cleaned up in a tight time.

Too busy, everyone has no time to gossip, every day is busy with things, busy with things, put them in my heart carefully, arrange things one by one, what are you busy with today, what will you be busy with tomorrow, don't worry about it because you are too busy. No clue, but delay time.

Fortunately, I have become a habit of being well-organized on weekdays, and I am busy all of a sudden, without any panic, and I know what I have to be busy with.

It's just that the atmosphere is too tense, without comfort and leisure, and I can only chatter a few words when eating or lying in bed all day long.

The busy farming has come to an end, and the time has entered August.

The grown-ups seemed to have just recovered and began to pay attention to their surroundings. Only then did they realize that the little fat man had unknowingly grown a lot stronger. A steamed bun that was white and clean is now a black bun. Those big round eyes are very special. His spirit is dark and bright, and when he laughs, he is still so happy, just looking at it makes people feel happy in their hearts.

There was such a sense of trance, as if I hadn't seen the little fat man for a long time.

Take a serious look, Ai, the emotion in my heart can overwhelm people.

Today's little fat man can already call people neatly, his voice is loud and bright, and he also has a cheerful smile. What he calls is sweet.

"Big Huang and Little Huang must be rewarded with a sumptuous dinner." Ji Anyi said loudly while hugging the little fat man.

Big Huang and Little Huang listened, wagging their tails excitedly and barking one after another.

"Fatty." The little fat man yelled loudly, his eyes shining brightly.

Ji Aqiang watched and couldn't help pinching his arm. "You've had enough meat. You're still talking about meat every day."

When the little fat man heard this, he became unhappy, and answered very seriously, looking at Dad with round eyes. "No meat."
