reborn as a brother

After breakfast, I tidied up the house.

Wang Xiaoer was chopping firewood in front of the house. The firewood he picked up yesterday was completely dry after drying in the sun all afternoon. He chopped it into small pieces for easy stacking.

Ji Anyi rolled up his sleeves, ready to continue thinking about his jam business.

Unexpectedly, someone came.

The man who will come here is a man who looks a little old, about 45 or six, with a particularly dark complexion, a slight limp in his left leg, and he walks not very neatly and slowly.

"Hi Brother Ji." When he reached the door of the house, he said cautiously, the smile on his face was a little stiff, as if he was not used to smiling.

Ji Anyi smiled politely and turned sideways. "Hi, sit inside, what's your name?"

"My surname is Liu, just call me Uncle Liu." Uncle Liu followed into the kitchen with his eyes slightly downcast, not looking around.

"Drink a glass of water." Ji Anyi handed the water to him, paused, and asked curiously. "What is the relationship between Uncle Liu and Ah Liu's family?"

Uncle Liu took the water and took a sip before speaking. "Liu Da is my cousin."

"Hehe." Ji Anyi smiled, took some apricots and washed them. "Uncle Liu eats apricots, they are delicious."

Uncle Liu looked at the apricot, waved his hands, put the cup on the dining table again, brought out two rabbits and one pheasant, put them in front of Ji Anyi, and took out a money bag from his pocket ,Open.

The clear and crisp sound of copper plates colliding sounded in the kitchen.

"Ji Geer, this is my wish, and it's not too much. I want to pick up three months of well water from your side to serve my fruit tree."

It looked like there were four to five hundred copper plates in that pile, some of which looked new, and some of which were dusty, as if they had been stored for a long time.

He watched, feeling slightly complicated, and pushed the copper plate. "Uncle Liu doesn't need any money, it's too outlandish, I'll accept this wild thing unceremoniously, turn around, the fruit tree at home is bearing fruit, I'm so greedy, I'll go to you to nudge me Just don't take offense at that time."

"How can I?" Uncle Liu hurriedly waved his hands, pushed the money away again, stood up, and walked out while talking. "Turn back the fruit tree bears fruit, I'll send some over, and Ji Ge'er will keep the money."

His legs were lame, and he didn't walk very neatly. He was afraid that he was impatient. If he walked a little faster, his whole body became even more unbalanced, and he seemed a little wobbly.

Ji Anyi watched from behind, originally wanted to catch up, but gave up again.

If he falls, it will be embarrassing to deal with in the future, forget it, the money will be collected for the time being, and I will make up for it when I have a chance in the future.

At night, when Liu Ah came to fetch water, he had to ask how Uncle Liu was doing.

With this in mind, Ji Anyi collected the money.

Looking at the two rabbits and pheasants, I felt a slight headache. It was a hot day, and meat was not easy to store, so I cleaned them out first.

This wild animal has a strong fishy smell, so of course it cannot be cleaned by the well, and he is going to carry it to the stream.

No, someone came over again, it would be two people.

"Hey, Ji Geer is going to go to the stream to clean up wild things? This rabbit looks really fat, Ji Geer is lucky." One of them said with a smile, with a familiar look on his face.

The other one also answered the call. "The wild animals in the mountains are not easy to catch now. You have to go deep into the mountains to get them. Ji Geer, who sent this?"

Ji Anyi smiled, didn't answer this question, poured a glass of water, washed some apricots and put them on the table. "Drink water, this apricot tastes good."

"Is this the apricot sent by the Li family?" The first person who spoke took a taste of an apricot and said again. "The Li family has always been shrewd and tight-lipped, so only his family can do such a thing."

"Isn't that the case, last time I told Brother Li..."

Come on, let's go, these two people ate apricots and drank water in front of Ji Anyi, and they started talking about homework, and the topic changed quickly. Short, from time to time, he interjected, which one of the things in the town is more expensive.

Ji Anyi sat awkwardly, listening or not.

At this moment, three more people came towards this side talking and laughing. As soon as they arrived at the door, they heard the voices inside, and one of the three quickly expressed their opinions.

Yu Su... the five brothers got together, and the scene became even more lively.

Can we have some home cooking in another place?

Ji Anyi wanted to say this very much, but he couldn't find a chance to interject.

Finally, after more than half an hour, probably because they were tired, the five people suddenly remembered the real purpose of coming here.

Ji Anyi, who was ignored, finally got attention.

One sentence for you, one sentence for me, two words for the scene, seeing that it was getting late, leaving things in twos and threes and leaving, before leaving, I even made an appointment to go to the town to buy things together after the busy farming season, there are many people and strength The same goes for bargaining.

Obviously, the friendship between these five people has taken a big step forward after talking for more than half an hour today.

Looking at the rice and flour piled up in the kitchen, two sets of clothes, straw sandals, eight pairs of meat, three pieces of fish, six delicate bamboo baskets, two pairs of cloth shoes, eggs, duck eggs and apricots, what is this little dark jar?

Ji Anyi curiously opened the lid of the jar, and a scent of honey came to his nostrils.

wild honey!

My eyes lit up immediately, this is a good thing, I quickly got some and tasted it, it tastes right!So positive!

Ji Anyi hugged the small pot, laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, and happily ran to the yard in front of the house to find his idiot. "Try it. It's delicious."

Wang Xiaoer tasted some, grinned, and laughed foolishly.

After putting away the things in the kitchen and closing the door, Ji Anyi dragged Wang Xiaoer to the stream.

I stewed this pheasant at noon.

The two rabbits were sprinkled with salt and hung under the eaves.

Today's lunch has a rich menu, including meat, fish, and pheasant soup.

"Idiot, go and call your brother over and let him come to eat at home." On such a busy and tiring day, according to Uncle Ji's temper, he would definitely not be able to eat all the food. He definitely won't be able to eat much if he sends it over, so he might as well call it over.

Wang Xiaoer listened, smiled happily, and then went to find his brother.

He knew where it was. When he was walking last night, Ji Anyi pointed it out to him.

Ji Anyi deliberately let the idiot go.

If he goes, Ji's family will be in the field, so it's not good to just call Wang Geer and his wife, but idiots are different, hehe.

Not long after, Wang Xiaoer came back, looking at his daughter-in-law with bright black eyes, looking very happy. "Brother, come." Then, he frowned again in distress, and opened his mouth, as if he didn't know what to say, his thick eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter, feeling a little anxious.

"Brother." Ji Anyi had been with him for a long time, so he understood something, and reminded him slowly with a smile.

"Brother, come too." Wang Xiaoer answered, smiled happily, and happily sat in front of the stove, ready to light a fire for his wife.

It was half past noon when Wang Baoer and Ji Aqiang came over with sweat on their heads and tired faces.

Ji Anyi quickly brought two buckets of water and two cloth towels. "Brother Wang, brother Aqiang, come here and wash up briefly."

They must be exhausted, neither of them said a word, they just nodded and walked to the back of the house.

After they cleaned up briefly, there were two glasses of water on the kitchen table. "Drink a glass of water, take a break, the food is ready, and you can start eating in a while."

"A lot of people came here today?" Looking around the kitchen, Wang Baoer naturally saw something.

"En." Ji Anyi responded, and briefly talked about what happened in the morning.

Wang Baoer listened, snorted softly, and took another big sip of water. "It's considered that they have a bit of conscience, it's not too much."

Sooner or later, the Li family and the Yao family will teach them a lesson. They really think that their Wang family are easy to bully!

Ji Anyi smiled, seeing that they had almost rested, he put the food on the table.

Knowing that the work of the two of them is heavy and consumes a lot of energy, he specially cooked a big pot of rice. It was really a lot of rice. Unexpectedly, he really ate it clean.

After lunch, the two of them leaned against the wall and rested for a while, feeling better, and went to work in a hurry.

In the afternoon, Ji Anyi didn't make jams. In the evening, he asked Ah Liu if he would make maltose. If he did, he would go to his house to buy it directly, which could be regarded as an indirect return for his kindness to him.

The day after tomorrow, I will go to the town to sell vegetables, so I have to bring the jam. Of course, I have to bring the dried vegetables that I promised my grandma.

In the afternoon, he was going to make some dried radish.

As soon as the radish strips were dried, someone came over before he entered the room and sat down.

There was only one person here this time, an old man, he seemed to be over 50 years old, didn't Ji Anyi like this old man, he gave people a very... gloomy feeling, with an indescribable coldness.
