reborn as a brother

In late autumn, the mountains are all yellow, and the sycamore tree behind the house has lost most of its leaves.

Today is a cloudy day with no wind.

Rare free time.

Moved two wicker chairs and put them under the plane tree, Ji Anyi lay lazily, while Wang Xiaoer was carefully carving wooden products beside him.

Rhubarb and Xiaohuang are lying next to them, and the ewe is nesting under the root of the tree.

In the chicken coop a little further away, there was the sound of clucking chickens, presumably laying eggs again.

"I always want to eat something." Looking blankly at the blue sky, Ji Anyi muttered unconsciously.

Wang Xiaoer stopped what he was doing, and glanced sideways. "What would my daughter-in-law want to eat?"

"I don't know." Ji Anyi shook his head. "I'll sleep with my eyes closed."

"It's cold outside, let's go into the room and sleep." Wang Xiaoer frowned and said, put the things in his hand on the wicker chair, stood up and walked to Ji Anyi's side. "Daughter-in-law, let's go into the house and sleep."

Ji Anyi waved his hand, opened his eyes suddenly, and looked at Wang Xiaoer brightly. "I know what to eat. Let's go, I'll make something delicious for you to taste."

Cold noodles.He's going to make a chutney.

The two entered the room happily, and Da Huang and Xiao Huang also happily entered the room wagging their tails.

"I'll make the sauce first." With that said, Ji Anyi carefully took out the sour jar, took two pieces of sword beans, three pieces of radish, a few small peppers, etc., and chopped them into fine pieces.

Wang Xiaoer cleverly poured out half a bowl of fish sauce. "Daughter-in-law, do you want to add some lo mei?"

"Cut some braised pork." Ji Anyi replied.

I soaked some dried mushrooms again, and when I took the dried mushrooms, I saw the dried goods that Su Jinming asked Xiaomu to send over, and there were some rare dried seafood in it.

I think of the old duck soup with winter melon, scallops, and old duck. I have eaten it once, and I will remember this taste somehow.

Fresh and smooth, the taste is very good.

Just thinking about it and recalling it, I felt that the secretion of saliva in my mouth was a bit serious.

Ji Anyi swallowed without a trace. "Go get an old duck, you idiot. I think there are two more."

"Okay." Wang Xiaoer put the stewed pork and fish sauce on the stove, and hurried to the back of the house without asking why.

Seeing the idiot leave the kitchen, Ji Anyi turned his gaze away, belatedly remembering that he didn't know if there was such a thing as scallops.

Thinking in my heart, I walked over and flipped through the dried seafood.

He found that there are quite a lot of types, and he doesn't know a few of them. There are not too many scallops, and it's almost enough to make old duck soup.

With scallops, today's duck soup with winter melon and scallops is available, and Ji Anyi is in a good mood.

The fire in the large stove is lit, water is put into the pot, the big pot is used to cook the noodles, the fire in the small stove is also lit, and the fish sauce is steamed first.

Just half a bowl of fish sauce, when the water in the cauldron began to boil, a rich aroma wafted from the kitchen.

Put the noodles into the big pot while taking out the fish sauce and immediately use the small stove to make the sauce.

The stewed pork and mushrooms are cut into fine pieces, regardless of the front and back. Once the oil in the pot is hot, put all the fine pieces into it, stir fry, and add seasonings.

When the noodles in the big pot can be scooped up, the sauce is also done.

Pick up the noodles, after the temperature drops slightly, pour in the sauce, stir evenly, and then add the fish sauce.

It was the first time to make noodles, Ji Anyi made whatever flavor he wanted, whether it tastes good or not is still unknown.

However, it smells very delicious, and the hot and sour taste is very exciting.

"Daughter-in-law. It smells so good." Wang Xiaoer carried the old duck that had been cleaned up into the room, looking at the bowl in Ji Anyi's hand with sparkling eyes. "What's this?"

"Noodles." Ji Anyi replied, and tasted it with chopsticks.

The saltiness is very suitable, the taste is not bad, the hot and sour taste is relatively strong, the sour pot is put a little too much, the noodles are chewy enough, and when the mushrooms are chewed, there will be a refreshing taste.

The things in it are a bit miscellaneous, and the taste is quite miscellaneous, but in general, it is still very good.

"Taste it." After taking another big mouthful, Ji Anyi gave the bowl and chopsticks to Wang Xiaoer.

Wang Xiaoer tasted it, his eyes lit up immediately. "It's delicious. It's just a little sour. You can add more fish sauce."

"Yes. It has a strong aftertaste." Ji Anyi said, seeing Wang Xiaoer hand him a chopstick of noodles, he didn't say anything after that, took a bite of the noodles and chewed them slowly.

"Daughter-in-law, how do you eat that duck?" Wang Xiaoer asked.

Ji Anyi licked his lips. "Winter melon, scallop and old duck soup, a very clear, smooth and tender soup. I don't know if it can be stewed." As he said, he remembered something, and he hurriedly soaked it in warm water. He looked at the sky outside and found that it was almost time for dinner. It's still early.

"It's definitely possible." Wang Xiaoer said happily.

The two of you took a bite and I ate a bowl of noodles quickly.

"Daughter-in-law. What kind of hairpin do you want?" Enjoying the perfect taste, the two of them sat under the plane tree again, holding dried sweet potatoes and chewing casually.

Ji Anyi glanced at the wooden hairpin. "Just keep it simple." After a pause, he added. "Actually, I still have a lot of hairpins." A hairpin can be used for almost a lifetime if nothing happens.

"Hey hey." Wang Xiaoer tilted his head and smiled cheerfully at Ji Anyi, then lowered his head and continued to carve carefully while talking in his mouth. "I just thought, when we are all old, looking at a box full of hairpins, we can clearly see what happened in which year."

There was a delicate emotion, and he didn't know how to express it.

I just thought about carving a hairpin for my daughter-in-law once a year, and waiting for them to grow old. Looking at a box full of hairpins, thinking about that feeling now makes me feel very warm.

He likes his wife very much, he likes her very much, he doesn't know how to express it, so he just wants to do something to show his joy.

Whether it is carving hairpins or tanning furs, thinking that these objects will be worn by his wife, when he is doing this, he is very happy in his heart, and he can't help laughing, and his mouth can't control his upward movement.

This work requires patience and carefulness. In fact, it is more tiring than doing farm work, but he doesn't feel tired at all. He enjoys this process very much. I don't know what to say, but he is happy in his heart anyway.

Ji Anyi discovered something. "Idiot, why do you always like to say that when we get old, old..."

"Because I want to grow old with my wife." In this way, they will be together for the rest of their lives.Wang Xiaoer said it without thinking.

"This is necessary." Ji Anyi replied with a smile.

He thinks that idiots are really stupid sometimes.They're a couple now, and they're sure to grow old together.

Wang Xiaoer seemed to know what he was thinking, looked up at him and said cheerfully. "We're still young now, and it's too far away in the future. I don't know what will happen. I'll keep thinking about it. God listens. If you listen too much, maybe it will protect us a lot."

Well.Ji Anyi didn't think at all, Wang Xiaoer had such a mentality.

Suddenly, an inexplicable emotion welled up in my heart, which was numb and slightly sour, which was quite complicated.

"Daughter-in-law, the silver hairpin my brother gave you last year is very pretty. I'll carve you a wooden hairpin. You don't like to use the silver hairpin if it's too heavy." Thinking of a good idea, Wang Xiaoer didn't raise his head. said something.

"Yeah. It's all good." Ji Anyi's voice was low, and he looked down at his stomach.

His mood has been a little unstable recently, and sometimes he will have repulsive thoughts, and it will be very obvious.

Wang Xiaoer felt it, so he avoided the topic of the child, and he didn't know how he told other people, and everyone didn't talk about his pregnancy every day.

"Idiot." After a long silence, Ji Anyi looked up at him and said. "Should we prepare a cradle for our children? I have an idea in my heart, and I want to make such a cradle."

With that said, he stood up, picked up a branch and drew on the ground.

Wang Xiaoer stared blankly, and it took him a while to react, and he laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, and moved to Ji Anyi's side. "Daughter-in-law. How did you come up with this idea? This cradle is really nice, it looks much more convenient."

"Yes. Put on four more wheels, and you can push it away." Throwing away the branch, and lying back on the rattan chair, Ji Anyi smiled cheerfully.

"Daughter-in-law. How did you think of it?" It was just a habitual compliment just now, but now, after Wang Xiaoer took a serious look, he saw that something bright was coming. This question was a real question.

Ji Anyi smiled, and pointed to the wooden cart under the eaves. "I figured it out by looking at it."

"Why didn't I think of coming here." Stretching out his hand and scratching the back of his head, Wang Xiaoer was quite puzzled.

The daughter-in-law's head seems really different from his.

"You're an idiot." Ji Anyi looked at him with a wide smile.

After Wang Xiaoer heard this, he looked at him with bright black eyes, and smiled and laughed for a long time, then glanced at his stomach, and now his smile was a little more silly.

"After the new year, I guess it will move." Ji Anyi muttered with a smile.

As soon as the words came to an end, Wang Xiaoer's eyes obviously widened several points, revealing a hint of surprise and surprise.

Looking at the expression on his face, Ji Anyi laughed hahaha. "You still have to think about how to make this cradle."

"It's not difficult. I'm thinking about it. After the baby is born, I can definitely make it." Wang Xiaoer smiled, and Bel said seriously, and then sat back in the rattan chair and continued to carve seriously. wooden hairpin.

Ji Anyi was lazily lying on the rattan chair, looking at Wang Xiaoer's side face from the corner of his eye, and saw the corner of his mouth raised.

In fact, Wang Xiaoer is quite handsome, with tough lines and heroic features.

Seeing that the time was almost up, thinking about the old duck soup with winter melon and scallops, as soon as Shen Shichu arrived, Ji Anyi went into the kitchen to look around.

At the end of Shenshi, it was fresh, smooth and tender, a rare delicacy, steaming with a strong aroma.

"I'll give it to brother, you go and give it to brother Zhang San." Ji Anyi said, and left the house with a pot of soup.

After eating a sumptuous dinner to their heart's content, the two of them soaked their feet, went to bed early and lay down, instead of going to sleep immediately, they talked one after another.

"Our family has saved a lot of money, should we consider building a small courtyard in the coming year?" Ji Anyi felt quite comfortable living in the blue brick house that he had lived in for several years.

Wang Xiaoer listened, thought for a while, and said. "Does my daughter-in-law want to build a small courtyard? If you want to build one, let's build one."

He feels that the small courtyard is not very good, the village is full of green brick houses, except for the village head's house, they built a small courtyard, and he always feels that it is not very good. The high fence seems to be separated from the neighbors, which is a bit awkward.

"No. I just remembered this, and I just said it casually, I think the blue bricks are comfortable to live in." Ji Anyi heard it, and the idiot didn't seem to want to build a small courtyard.

"I also think it's better to live in Qingzhuan. There are high walls in the courtyard, we can't see the outside, and we can't see the inside from the outside, and we don't live in the town. It's better to live in Qingzhuan in the village, which is more convenient." Wang Wang Xiao Er talked about his thoughts.

Ji Anyi listened and felt right. "Then let's not build small courtyards. It's a pity that the blue brick house has only been lived in for a few years, and it's a pity to push back the reconstruction."

While talking, the two of them fell asleep in a daze.

On the day of Lidong, the snow fell, and it didn't stop until the morning of the next day.

Even if it snows for a day and night, a thin layer has accumulated outside.

It's freezing cold, let alone rushing through the door, they are guarding the fire pit and are unwilling to move.

Ji Anyi was getting hungry, he wanted to eat pancakes.

"I want to eat egg pancakes." Looking at the burning fire, Ji Anyi said blankly.

Wang Xiaoer was peeling corn kernels, glanced at Ji Anyi, clapped his hands and stood up. "I'm going to pick some onions."

"How many do you eat?" Ji Anyi, who was holding the eggs, asked.

"Three." Thinking of his wife's craftsmanship, Wang Xiaoer immediately said again. "No, four."

Ji Anyi took six eggs, beat them with salt and stirred them.

The small stove lit a fire, the fire was not big, just a small fire.

After washing the pot, wait for the pot to heat up and pour oil into it.

Wang Xiaoer washed the shallots and cut them into fine pieces.

When the oil is hot, let the oil evenly cover the bottom of the pan, then pour the eggs evenly into it, fry on low heat for a while, then sprinkle the shallots on top of the eggs, and pour the remaining eggs evenly on top of the shallots .

Seeing that it is almost fried, turn it over quickly.

After a while, the aroma filled the entire kitchen.

"This cake is really big." Ji Anyi couldn't help swallowing.

The scallions are really fragrant, and the fragrance is very stimulating.

The omelette was just hot from the pan, so the two of them could only stand by and continue to smell the aroma.

At this time, a loud and clear voice sounded from far away. "Uncle?"

"Little fat man is here." Ji Anyi looked at Wang Xiaoer, then at the delicious omelette, all right, fry another one quickly.

"Uncle, you've made delicious food again." After the little fat man entered the room, he looked at Ji Anyi with a bright smile, and then stared at the omelette with sparkling eyes.

Little Ginseng stood beside him, with a sullen little face, looking like a serious little adult.

Wang Xiaoer divided the omelette into two parts, cut it into small pieces, and handed them a bowl for each of them. "Hey, sit and eat by the fire pit, your hands are so cold, are you playing in the snow outside?"

"It smells good. Uncle eat it." The little fat man handed over a piece of egg pancake, and with difficulty raised his hand to bring it to Wang Xiaoer's mouth.

It's a pity that he is too short, and I'm afraid he won't be able to reach him after a few more years.

Here, the villain handed Ji Anyi an egg pancake. "you eat."

"There's more, you guys eat first." Ji Anyi bent down and took a sip, wow, it smells so good.

The delicious meal at the uncle's house was not enough, the two children had another delicious lunch, and then went home to sleep contentedly after stroking their chubby bellies.

After winter, the weather is too cold, especially when it snows, so they don't go to the town to do business, and they only open the door when the weather is good.

Earning money is very important, but the body is more important.

There was a light snowfall in the beginning of winter, and the next half month will be fine, and the business in the shop is also very good. When customers come to the door, they will remind them with a smile, about the fact that the shop is not open on snowy days, let them Thank you for your understanding.

After entering mid-December, the weather is not so good. It snows every now and then, even if there is no snow, there will be drizzle, sometimes sleet.

Not only cold but also thick with humidity.

Fortunately, there was enough firewood at home to keep the fire going strong, and the kitchen was fairly dry. As for the house, Wang Xiaoer specially bought two boxes of charcoal, and they set up a charcoal basin in the house at night.

With the charcoal basin, Ji Anyi's gluttony broke again.

I didn't eat dinner, went directly to the house, moved the small stove to the house, and made a hot pot with a charcoal basin.

Pork belly, chicken, fish, duck, and occasionally rabbit meat bitten by rhubarb and little yellow, etc., will be cut into thin slices for hot pot.

After the whole winter, Ji Anyi ate and slept well, and in the coming year, he gained a lot of weight.

In the past, he was as thin as a bamboo pole, and he had to be worried about being blown away by a gust of wind, but now he is a bit more attractive, and he feels a little sensual to the touch.

The corners of Wang Xiaoerxi's mouth reached to the base of his ears.

He finally made his wife fatter.

Everyone thought that the ewe was getting old and probably wouldn't live for two years.

Unexpectedly, just after the new year, the snow in the mountains just melted, and before February, the ewe was pregnant with cubs!

This can be regarded as a spectacle in Hexi Village.

Only Ji Anyi wondered in his heart whether it was because he drank the water from the spiritual spring. Seeing that Da Huang and Xiao Huang were so energetic, the ewes drank a little less water from the spiritual spring than they did, so there should be some changes. However, on weekdays it is not too obvious.

An older ewe is pregnant with a calf, which is a little dangerous.

The presence of the ewe is not very strong. After this incident, it immediately has a place in the heart of the adults.

I was afraid that something might happen. It just so happened that farming is busy in July, and the ewes will give birth around the end of May and early June. This time is not tight, and the adults put a little effort into taking care of it.

Coincidentally, Ji Anyi gave birth almost in June.

The past two years have been particularly smooth. Not only has the life of Hexi Village gradually improved, but the lives of the surrounding villages have also become better and better.

However, this year, at first glance, something is not quite right.

It is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil, and if there is too much oil, it will become a worry.

Since the beginning of spring, the rain has not stopped, and it has been falling day and night, big and small.

Until May, roughly counting, it seems that there have been six sunny days, plus the cloudy days without rain, it is only half a month.

"The crops don't grow well." Standing under the eaves, looking at the foggy village, Ji Anyi frowned.

Wang Xiaoer wiped the rainwater off his face. "It's okay. The rain isn't heavy, but it's just drifting thinly. The situation isn't too bad."

"We're too busy, so let's hire someone." After thinking about it, Ji Anyi reminded him a few words.

"It's okay, I'm almost busy." Wang Xiaoer said after taking a sip of hot water. "Daughter-in-law, let's go into the house, the rain is floating on us, and it's uncomfortable."

Ji Anyi listened, and took another look at the fine and dense rain, then turned his eyes away and entered the room.

Things improved a little towards the end of May, with four days of sunshine in a row and rain again on the fifth day.

Experienced old farmers know that this year is not going well, but they can still have a meal. The past two years have been good, and they have saved some money, so life will not be too stressful. Tian frowned, but thought of other ways to make money, and still lived his life steadily.

I've already gotten used to it, that's the way it is. It's completely impossible for the weather to go smoothly every year. For generations, I have been guarding the crops to live, and I feel somewhat at the bottom of my heart.

As long as the world is peaceful, they can live their lives little by little.

On June [-], on this day, the sun was fine.

Ji Anyi gave birth to a little brother.

In the evening of that day, the sunset glow in the sky was particularly beautiful, and the landscape was beautiful.

The ewe gave birth to two lambs.

After giving birth, the ewe let out several long, long bleats, as if she had something to say.

Da Huang bit Wang Xiaoer's pants and walked towards the house.

Wang Xiaoer, who was taking care of the little bun, was a little puzzled, but still followed him to the back of the house.

Then, he saw that the ewe kicked the lamb away. Is this the rhythm of not letting them nurse?

Seeing Wang Xiaoer approaching, the ewe kept bleating, one after another, looking at him with those dark eyes, with a kind of emotion in it, but unfortunately, Wang Xiaoer couldn't understand.

"It said, let you express the breast milk to feed the little bun." Little Ginseng stood aside at some point.

As soon as the words were finished, Big Huang and Little Huang Qiqi barked happily and wagged their tails happily.

Wang Xiaoer stood there dumbstruck, unable to react for a long time.

"Little Baozi is crying, hurry up." The villain gave Wang Xiaoer two pushes.

Even Da Huang and Xiao Huang were in a hurry, bumping into Wang Xiaoer's legs one from the left and the other from the right, the ewe stood up unsteadily, looking at the situation, are they going to go into the house to nurse by themselves?

"I, I'll take the bowl." Wang Xiaoer, who came back to his senses, ran into the kitchen in three steps at a time, took out a bowl, squeezed half a bowl of hot goat's milk, and brought it into the room. Tell Ji Anyi about this.

After Ji Anyi finished listening, he brought Wang Xiaoer into the space and asked him to drink a bowl of spiritual spring water for the ewes to drink.

After all, the ewes are getting old, so giving birth this time will probably hurt their vitality.
