reborn as a brother

In early August, it was raining.

It has been a hot day for two whole months, and finally a little bit of coolness has passed through, which can make people breathe comfortably.

It was already noon when I came back from work in town.

Tidy things up a bit.

Ji Anyi poured three glasses of water, and the three of them sat down at the aisle, remembering today's account.

"The number of tea eggs has increased a lot these days." Flipping through the ledger, Zhang Sangeer smiled and said to the two people beside him, pointing to the ledger again. "Recently, more than 30 can be sold every day."

Tea eggs cost one copper coin each.A total of 38 units were sold in July, and it is estimated that there will be a little more this month.

"It's estimated that it will go up. Many of them are getting used to it, one coin is one egg." Ji Anyi answered with a smile.

The tea eggs are delicious, but they cost only one copper coin per egg. It’s really painful to eat. At the beginning, I will try it when I get hungry. After eating it twice, I will gradually get used to the price.

Wang Baoer thought for a while, and then looked at the account book. "The business of the noodle shop is getting better. Today I counted and ordered 52 bowls of noodles. Originally, the soup was a little short. I watched the time and estimated it. Those who came to eat noodles later had less soup. It's barely enough."

"Ji Ge'er's lo mei is good, and the big steamed buns are the most sold, almost passing the [-] mark." After recording the number of steamed buns today, Brother Zhang San smiled very happily. "Rice porridge is also good, you can sell a bucket of it." After a pause, he added. "The meat buns don't sell very well, and it's because of our lack of craftsmanship. The meat buns on the East Street taste really good. Every time I pass by, there are people standing there. Tell me, how many does his family sell in a day?"

this.Ji Anyi really didn't think about it. "I don't know. There should be quite a few. That's right. Let's remove the meat buns."

"It's okay. The meat buns can't be sold, so it's good to withdraw them." Wang Baoer quite agreed.

In the busy season of farming in July, the business of the shop happened to be good, and there was work in the field, and delivery to Boss Su. For a whole month, the busyness was a little numb.

I didn't even tidy up the inside and outside of the house, and finally got over it. Yesterday, I spent a whole day cleaning the house thoroughly.

When October is busy again, the meat buns are removed, and the time can be relaxed somewhat.What's more, Roubaozi can't earn much money after a month, so it's better to focus on other things.

"Yes. It's better to make a few more steamed buns." Brother Zhang San said his thoughts smoothly.

Steamed buns are easier to make than meat buns, which are a bit more troublesome.

Thinking of something, Ji Anyi stood up. "I'm going to see the dried bamboo shoots."

He also dried a lot of dried bamboo shoots, but he didn't expect that the business was very good. He had to find out how many dried bamboo shoots were left, and told Su Jinming later that the quantity of stewed bamboo shoots in the second half of the year would be relatively reduced.

"In the villages around us, there are also people who can dry dried bamboo shoots and use them to cook home-cooked dishes in winter. I'm not busy recently, so I can find time to ask around." Wang Baoer listened and mentioned something.

Because the family is relatively poor, those who can sell money will be sold, and those who cannot be sold will be kept for themselves.Like dried bamboo shoots, they are completely grown in the wild, and they will be more or less sun-dried.

In previous years, there were people in Hexi Village drying bamboo shoots, but this year there were none. They were all busy planting trees and raising chickens.

Half of the dried bamboo shoots at home are dried by themselves, and half are sent by Tie Geer and the others.At that time, the bamboo shoots grew well, and they all moved neatly. Almost all the bamboo shoots in the mountain were cleaned and dried.

Unexpectedly, the stewed dried bamboo shoots tasted good, and the price was not bad, but it was even better than the stewed dried tofu.

"I have to say something. Our family collects dried bamboo shoots, and next year it will be more relaxed." After looking at the inventory, Ji Anyi had a solid idea.

The goods for Su Jinming have to be reduced by one-third, and the goods in his own shop have to be reduced a little, so that they can barely last the next year.

"What? Uncle? Wang?"

This person hadn't appeared yet, but his voice with a strong milk smell had already penetrated into the ears of the three adults resoundingly.

The three people who were talking looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

At this time, the little fat man appeared at the door unsteadily.

The bar was high, almost half his height.

This is not difficult for him at all.

He quickly climbed over the threshold, followed by Da Huang and Xiao Huang.

As soon as he entered the room, he grinned cheerfully and laughed, laughed and laughed, and threw himself into Wang Baoer's arms.

It's been raining for the past two days, and the weather has cooled down a lot. The little fat man slept well. When they went out early in the morning, they didn't disturb him when they saw that he was still sleeping.

"Have you eaten yet?" Ji Anyi asked with a smile, and then looked at his bag.

There is food in the pocket, there are soft and fragrant meat pieces, small pancakes, and crunchy and fragrant dried fish. Even if it is cold, it is still edible.

The little fat man stood up straight, lowered his head, took out the small cloth bag from his pocket, picked it with his fingers, the opening of the bag was stretched a bit, his hand went in numbly, and took out the meat bag. Block, looked at Ji Anyi and smiled.

Then, he twisted his body and handed the piece of meat to the two dogs next to him, each feeding a piece.

Immediately afterwards, he squeezed a small dried fish and chewed it, smiling happily.

"It grows really fast, and it will be two years old soon. At that time, when it was just born, it was only this little." Looking at the little fat man, Brother Zhang made a gesture.

Surprised, time flies, it flies so fast.

Some things are just like a dream.

Looking at the little fat man who was eating happily, Wang Baoer thought of another thing, and he glanced at Ji Anyi who was opposite without any trace.

Speaking of which, Brother Ji will turn 16 next month.

Before I knew it, five years had passed.

At that time, I only thought that if I wanted to survive, I couldn't let the Wang family die in their hands.

How would you know that my younger brother's marriage to Ji Ge'er will bring such great luck to the family, and these days are changing every day.

I have to think about it carefully, and now I have some spare money in my hand, so I have to arrange some good things for Ji Geer.

After all, it was the Wang family who lost him. When he came to the Wang family at a young age, he never saw him complaining or talking about anything. He has been living with his younger brother in a down-to-earth manner.

The life of my family is well managed, and I still remember to help him, who is a brother.

This kid has a real heart.

I have to remind my younger brother, don't forget this, this year's birthday is different from previous years, and he has to prepare carefully.

It's not easy to have a good partner, you have to cherish it.

At night, lying in bed, listening to the patter of rain outside the window.

Wang Baoer helped the little fat man cover the quilt, then pressed the edge, looked at Ji Aqiang, and whispered something. "September 27 is Ji Ge'er's 16th birthday. Our family has a little spare money now, let's buy some good things for him." After a pause, he sighed and said again. "This child is a rare good boy. Our family lost him earlier, and he and Xiao Er got along with each other. Instead of thinking about old grudges, he knows how to give us a hand."

"What would you like to give as a gift? How many taels of silver do you have at home now? A set of silverware?" Ji Aqiang listened and said something without thinking too much.

After thinking about it, Wang Baoer hesitated and said. "I heard that jade raises people. I don't know what the price is."

"Good jade can support people. You can't buy good jade with a few taels of silver." Ji Aqiang said with a frown.Again. "I don't think it's realistic to give jade."

"I just thought of it, so I said it casually." Indeed, what good jade can you buy with a few taels of silver.Wang Bao'er smiled, put this aside, and continued. "How much silver do we need?"

Ji Aqiang got up, squatted beside the bed, carefully pulled out the money jar, and sat beside Wang Baoer holding it. "You count. It should be almost twelve." There was a wave of excitement in the voice.

"Little Fatty likes digging in corners the most now. His eyes are sharp. Find a place to store this money jar." While talking, Wang Baoer counted and his eyes lit up. "There are eight taels of silver. We still have twelve hundred copper coins in our hands."

"In a few days, let's go to the town to take a closer look and make a silver hairpin that looks good and plentiful. I looked at the kind that Boss Su wears on his head. It's very beautiful. We can't afford jade. We can buy the whole silver hairpin." Yes, Ji Geer looks fair and clean, and he looks good with his hair tied up like Boss Su." When Ji Aqiang said this, he looked at Wang Baoer with sparkling eyes.

If there is still money left, he will also give Bao'er a silver hairpin with ample amount.

Having said that, Wang Baoer was very happy in his heart. "You're right. Ji Ge'er is still reluctant to wear the good clothes, and gives two hair accessories without hindering his work. This is just right. Let's go to the town in two days to have a look, by the way. Ji Ge'er is missing Dried bamboo shoots, when the time comes, let’s go to the surrounding villages, ask who has dried bamboo shoots, and help him collect some.”

"Success." Ji Aqiang replied sharply.

The little fat man who was sleeping soundly, kicked his little fat legs, turned over, changed from lying down to lying down, half of his body was exposed outside the quilt.

Wang Baoer saw it, hugged him and lay down again, tightened his legs together, and put the quilt back on. "By the way. 28 is also the little fat man's birthday. He is two years old. Let's make him new clothes."

"Okay." Ji Aqiang responded with a smile, kissed the little fat man's face, and then raised his head to kiss Prince Bao'er. "Go to sleep."

August this year passed smoothly.

The rice in the field is growing very well. The experienced old farmer is talking cheerfully while looking at the direction of the field with his tobacco in his mouth.This year has been a bumper harvest.

"Brother Ji." Liu Xiu ran over like a gust of wind, and started shouting from afar.

The little fat man was playing outside the house, when he heard the sound, he rushed over happily, holding a wooden branch in his hand, shouting while rushing. "Poke."

This kid, recently likes to hold a wooden branch and poke it here and there.

"Little Fatty." Liu Xiu paid attention to him, and when he saw him rushing over, she quickly reached out and hugged him.

The little fat man doesn't like being hugged, he prefers to run around with Rhubarb and Little Huang by himself. "No hug."

Rhubarb wagged his tail beside him and bit Liu Xiu's pants.Xiao Huang was naughty, barking and jumping up and down.

"Axiu is here." Ji Anyi walked out of the house with a smile. "He is calm, don't hug him, let him play by himself."

"It's so powerful." Liu Xiu smiled and put the little fat man writhing in her arms on the ground.

Once the little fat man landed on the ground, he continued to charge with the wooden branch, yelling while rushing. "Poke poke."

After running a little further, he saw a person appearing at the corner, the little fat man was stunned for a moment, and then started to shout in a childish voice. "Grandpa."

He ran over with his chubby legs.

Hearing Sun Sun's voice, Ji Gu immediately quickened his pace, trotted over in three or two steps, squatted down and looked at him cheerfully, took out a candy from his pocket. "Sun, eat."

"Master. Meat." With candy in his mouth, the little fat man mumbled, looking at Ji Gu with big round eyes.

Ji Gu hugged him with one hand and walked towards Butcher Zhao's house.

"Master." The little fat man slurped the sugar in his mouth twice, took out the cloth bag from his pocket, squeezed a small dried fish and placed it near Jigu's mouth.

Ji Gu opened his mouth, chewing loudly, with a smile on his face.

"Father, where are you going?" Seeing their grandpa and grandson, Wang Baoer had a guess in her heart, guessing that the little fat man was stalking his grandpa again.

Ji Gu stopped, smiled at Wang Baoer, and didn't speak.Then, continue to Zhao Butcher's house.

"Little fat man, what did you say, don't eat meat at night." Wang Baoer said coolly.

When the little fat man heard this, he immediately spit out the candy in his mouth. He actually doesn't like candy, so he said it smoothly. "Grandpa, catch fish."

Ji Gu hugged the little fat man and turned around again, walking in the direction of the creek.

Knowing that grandson likes to eat small dried fish, when he has free time, he will put a net to the stream and send some small fish over every now and then.

After walking a little further, the little fat man seriously took snacks out of his cloth bag and said seriously. "Grandpa, what a bad thing."

"Not bad." Ji Gu replied slowly.

"Meat, don't give it to him." The little fat man said after stuffing a piece of meat for Grandpa.

Ji Gu finished chewing the meat in his mouth, and then spoke slowly. "Give it to eat."

The grandpa and grandson went out word by word, talking here and there, walking towards the stream.

Rhubarb and Xiao Huang Le Dian Le Dian followed behind.

"Uncle took the little fat man to play?" Seeing Wang Bao'er coming in, Ji Anyi asked.

"Yes. I went to catch fish." Wang Baoer said.

Liu Xiu, who had finished speaking next to her, stood up and was about to leave. "Ji Geer, I'm back."

"Okay." Ji Anyi sent him out of the house.

"Is there something wrong with Axiu?" Wang Baoer asked.

Ji Anyi put away the cup. "Yeah. About the radishes, Zhu's family planted some, so it's fine if I ask him to send them over."

"I guess it will be done next year. I'm looking forward to it. Axiu is obviously more sensible in the second half of the year. Liu Ama should be happy to see it." Wang Baoer responded with a smile.

Brother Zhang San put the hoe away, wiped the sweat off his face, and said. "Is the dried radish acceptable? I just checked and it's almost ready."

"Yes. I'm about to do this." Axiu happened to come over, so she put it aside.As Ji Anyi said, he hurried out of the house and continued to work.

Farming is busy in October, and the things in October can be prepared in advance. In September, I have thought carefully and prepared things in advance.

When the time comes, I will be too busy to breathe.

As September draws to a close, things are well organized.The busy farming season in October will be better than in July.

"Brother Ji, it's your 16th birthday tomorrow, let's set up a few tables." After dinner, it was still early, and everyone was sitting at the aisle to enjoy the shade, Wang Baoer talked about it.

All eyes fell on Ji Anyi.

Ji Anyi was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "Success. Who are you calling?" He didn't quite understand this.

"The ones who are close to us on weekdays." After speaking, Brother Zhang nodded one by one.

After talking about inviting people, we talked about the dishes of the day.

It was more than half of the time, and I went into the house to sleep.

The next day, just after dawn, everyone got up and started talking about today's lunch table.

Ji Anyi went to each house and asked them to have a meal at noon.

After hearing what he said, everyone put down what they were doing, followed him back to the house, rolled up their sleeves and began to help.

The more people there are, the faster things can be done.

Before noon, all the work had already been done, and everything was in order.

Seeing that it was still early, a group of people sat under the sycamore tree and started chatting about the daily routine.

Even Liu Damo, who doesn't go out very much, came here early today.

The most talked about is the changes in Hexi Village in recent years. Looking back, it is really different every day.

The village chief and Ji Anyi were both mentioned in the words, and he knew in his heart that the days are getting better and better, and it has a lot to do with these two people.

It's good that the village head isn't here, Ji Anyi, the birthday star, was there, and he was a little embarrassed after hearing a lot of good things, and didn't know what to say, so he just kept smiling, gently and gently .

After a lively lunch, the venue was cleaned up.

After everyone returned home, not long after, they came over again, carrying some of their own thoughts in their hands.

Ji Anyi accepted it with a smile, and wrapped some braised tofu for them to taste.

It wasn't until evening that Wang's house became quiet.

Seeing that Brother Zhang was busy with other things and was not in the room, Wang Baoer hesitated for a while, but decided to talk about it. "Ji Geer."

"En." Ji Anyi was arranging the delivered things, and replied without raising his head.

"Don't be busy first, come with me to the room, I have something to tell you." Open your mouth, the words are easy to say, Wang Baoer said smoothly.

When Ji Anyi heard it, he thought something was wrong. "become."

The two entered the house.

"This is a birthday gift prepared for you by me and your brother Aqiang. Don't hide it, you have to take out the hair accessories and wear them. After today, you will grow up." Wang Baoer took the two precious hair accessories Come out, there are cloth shoes and two sets of clothes that he made himself.

Two hair accessories cost a full seven taels.Fortunately, although it is expensive, it looks really good.

"Brother." Ji Anyi also had a little discernment, looking at the hairpin and silver crown, he knew that he had spent a lot of money.

Wang Baoer smiled and put the things in his hands. "Take it. I'm 16 years old. I'll be an adult in the future."

Ji Anyi held the clothes silently, her eyes were slightly wet.

"There is one more thing." Wang Baoer paused before speaking. "Xiao Er is not young anymore. At 20 years old, he will be a little impulsive at this age. You are also old. There are some things, let me tell you..."

On this side, Wang Baoer was talking to Ji Anyi, and on the other side, Xie Qi and Ji Aqiang were sitting beside Wang Xiaoer, chatting to him.

In the house at night.

Ji Anyi's expression was normal, but Wang Xiaoer was a little bit awkward.Two words filled my mind: bridal chamber.

That feeling, I don't know what to say.

"Daughter-in-law." Sitting next to his daughter-in-law, Wang Xiaoer stole glances.

"Why did you change the bed curtain? It's only used in winter. It's too heavy now. After two days, it will clear up and you can sleep at night?" Ji Anyi paid attention to the bed curtain, but didn't notice Wang Xiaoer's Strange state.

Wang Xiaoer smiled naively, stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head, and said cheerfully. "Come back tomorrow."

"What's wrong with you?" Ji Anyi sat on the side of the bed, looked at Wang Xiaoer, and asked dully.

"Daughter-in-law." Wang Xiaoer chuckled, looking at him with bright black eyes.

With Ji Anyi's eyes, he looked this person up and down, after a while, he understood it, raised his eyebrows, and asked jokingly. "What did they tell you today?"

"Say..." Thinking of the two things that he told him today, Wang Xiaoer once again laughed foolishly, his whole body fluttering.

"Idiot." Ji Anyi looked at him, couldn't help it, reached out to pat his head, and pushed him down on the bed. "What are you doing blindly, go to bed quickly." He put down the bed curtain smoothly.

Inside the bed, it was instantly pitch black.

The bed curtains in winter are too thick to allow even the moonlight to penetrate.

"Daughter-in-law. It's pitch black." Wang Xiaoer's muffled voice sounded.

He couldn't see anything clearly, so it was difficult for him to move.

"Who the hell asked you to change the bed curtain." Ji Anyi replied dumbfounded.

"Don't let others see it. During the harmonious period, keep it secret." Wang Xiaoer spoke for himself aggrieved.

In the dark, Ji Anyi didn't know where Wang Xiaoer was filming, and his voice was quite loud. "stay."

"Daughter-in-law." Wang Xiaoer shouted angrily.

"Ah."

"I think it's too dark, no one can see us."

"You bit my nose..."

"daughter in law……"
