reborn as a brother

Seeing that the time was almost up, Ji Anyi and Wang Xiaoer left the village chief's house and went to their own home.

It was not the end of the meeting, the sun was slightly tilted, but the sun was still venomous, and it was as warm as an invisible fire, shining on the whole earth.

On the small roads in the village, no one was walking around.

From scattered treetops, cicadas' tireless cries came out.

Around the house, there are one or two poultry walking around looking for food. They usually nest in the shade, and sometimes they lightly trim their wings. They look lazier and happier than the villagers who are busy working in the fields.

Looking up, the blue sky is very high, but there are no birds flying by.

After concentrating carefully, ignoring the cicadas in my ears, I can clearly hear the crisp and joyful chirping of birds from the mountains not far away.

After passing the relatively dense houses, the line of sight suddenly opened up a lot.

Seen from afar, there are densely packed paddy fields, and the villagers are bending over to cultivate and transplant rice seedlings under the scorching sun.

After a short walk, there is a small stream winding down half of the village.

Going up, after a while, you can see the three mud brick houses of the Wang family, standing quietly in the sun, shining slightly dazzling, two puppies nest in the eaves, Rhubarb seems to be asleep, and the little one Huang flicked his paws to dig the ground boredly, and swept his little tail. The color of the vegetable field in front of the house was just right, and the watery green made the picture feel a little cool.

Just getting closer, Xiao Huang jumped up suddenly, and found a happy dog ​​barking in his mouth. It seemed that Rhubarb was sleeping, and he opened his eyes, took a look, and closed them again.

Walking all the way, I didn't find a shady place to walk, and there was a thin stream of sweat on my forehead.

Opening the kitchen door, Ji Anyi took half a bucket of well water and washed his face with Wang Xiaoer.

After resting for a while, I felt less hot, so I got up and looked at the marinated apricot meat in the altar. After a while, I closed the lid and continued to marinate.

He turned over the radish strips outside the house, and when he returned to the house, Ji Anyi suddenly remembered.

It's been a few days, and the two acres of paddy fields at home have to be transplanted.

"Idiot, let's go and have a look in the field." Thinking of something, Ji Anyi pulled Wang Xiaoer to the field.

This will go out, Xiao Huang must follow.

Ji Anyi followed it, closed the door, and hurriedly walked towards the paddy field.

When he saw the figure in the field, he froze.it is as expected……

"Uncle Liu, Ah Liu."

It seemed that someone was calling her, Liu Amo wiped the sweat from her forehead with her arm, looked up for a long time before she could see it. "Ji Geer."

After bending over for a long time, the sun was so strong above my head, my whole body was a little numb, and I was just doing the work in hand like a machine.

"Ah Liu, you should tell me." Walking to the side of the field, Ji Anyi said seriously.

Liu Ahma listened, smiled, and basked in the sun for half an afternoon, her face was very red, her spirit was a little listless, and there was a tired look between her brows. "Just two acres of paddy fields can be done in one day."

"I'll ask Xiaoer to come down. Don't go home tonight, Liu Ah. I'll make dinner." After finishing speaking, Ji Anyi turned his head to Wang Xiaoer and said slowly.

Wang Xiaoer understood, smiled and nodded cheerfully, glanced at his daughter-in-law, took a handful of seedlings, and went down to the field neatly.

After returning home, Ji Anyi took some money and went to Butcher Li's house.

I don't know about this point, whether there are bones and meat.

I went to Butcher Li's house and asked, there was no meat, but there were still a few bones and two pig ears left.

It was a hot day, and the meat was not easy to put away. Every day, the slaughter of pigs was done with calculations in mind.

The pig slaughtering business in the village didn't make much money, and it was impossible to do anything in the town without contacts.

Hexi Village is okay, not too far from Jingyang Town, and the family is not bad, it is common to have meat every three days, especially now during the busy farming season.

For example, in some remote mountain villages, no one dared to sell pork. At most, they bought pigs in the past and killed them.

As long as there are bones, he can also make pig ears.

Anyway, there was still something, Ji Anyi paid the money neatly, and when he was about to leave, he remembered something and asked a lot. "Butcher Li, how many pigs can you kill at most in one day? Do you have pig veins?"

Butcher Li glanced at the little brother who had suddenly become popular in the village in the past two months, nodded silently, paused, and added another sentence. "Some pig veins."

Ji Anyi smiled and said nothing, turned around and hurried home.

Some things are not in a hurry, you have to take your time.

When he got home, Ji Anyi washed the bones, put them aside, closed the kitchen door, and slipped into the space.

Now it is the end of July and almost August, which is the time to eat lotus root.

There is a pond in the space, and when the lotus just bloomed, he was greedy for the lotus root in it.

Carefully dug a big lotus root, and caught two more fish, but the vegetables in the space were not picked, the difference was a little bigger, it is better to use the vegetables in front of the house.

Out of the space, pack the lotus root and start to simmer with the bones.

After finishing the pig's ears, seeing the time was still early, thinking of the idiot in the field, I hurriedly fetched two cans of well water, hurried to the field, stayed for a while, and hurried back, Start cooking the jam.

It took more than half an hour to cook the two jars full of fruit pulp. At this time, the sun was almost setting.

It's time to prepare dinner.

Before a break from the meeting, Ji Anyi cleaned up the kitchen and cooked in the big pot.

Lotus root bone soup, hot and sour fish, cold cucumber, sauerkraut meat, stir-fried spicy beans, the chicken at home has started to lay eggs in the past two days, and there are three eggs that were originally prepared for tomorrow morning. Now I take them out and make scrambled eggs with leeks.

Is six dishes enough?By the way, there is also a stir-fried spicy pig ear, which is a great appetizer.

Ji Anyi thought about it secretly, it should be about the same, so adjust the portion to the full.

With a clear mind, it will be easier to work.

The sun went down, but the sky was still bright.

When Brother Liu was about to arrive at Wang's house, he smelled a strong fragrance, his eyes lit up immediately, and he rushed in happily. "Ji Geer, what did I say, you want me to come and help you. It's so fragrant, Ji Geer, you are really good at your craft."

Ji Anyi smiled, and was not impolite, and continued to speak. "Axiu help me light the fire, I'm just worried about the person who makes the fire."

"Okay, okay." Liu Xiu happily agreed.

With Liu Xiu here, the kitchen became much more lively immediately.

There was only one last dish left, and no one came back, so Ji Anyi stopped.

"I'll go and have a look." After smelling the scent for so long, Liu Xiu was already hungry and hungry. Seeing that dinner was almost ready, she stood up with a smile, and ran to the field.

There are too many people to stay in the kitchen.

Ji Anyi moved the kitchen table outside, set up the stools, and brought two buckets of water under the eaves, with wooden basins and cloth towels beside them.

Put the radish strips in the jar and put them away. Tomorrow, they will have to dry for another day to make dried braised radish.

After finishing this work, seeing that no one was there, he took half a bucket of well water and watered the vegetable field in front of the house. After dinner, he had to go to the col. The idiot had been busy in the field for half a day. In the afternoon, let him rest.

"Brother Ji, Ah, they are coming back soon." Liu Xiu shouted out of breath while running, smiling brightly like a flower.

"It's hot, it's not good to run so fast." Ji Anyi smiled and handed him the cup as a reminder. "It will take a while to drink water, first sit on the stool, and I will stir-fry the last dish."

After frying the last dish, it didn't take long for Liu Ama and his group to return slowly.

While they were washing their faces and hands, Ji Anyi brought water to the table. "Drink your saliva first, take a rest, the meal is ready."

Seven dishes are a whole pot of rice, and I ate it clean.

Liu Ah wanted to stay and help clean up the kitchen, but Ji Anyi refused, and pushed him to go home quickly, tidy up and have a rest.

On the contrary, little brother Liu stayed behind chattering, saying nothing and not leaving, just laughing and laughing cheerfully.

Brother Liu didn't go home until the kitchen was cleaned up.

After finishing his work, Ji Anyi originally wanted to water the vegetable field in the col, but found that the idiot was gone.

After walking out of the house for a few steps, I saw him striding towards this side carrying a wooden barrel. When he saw him, he grinned a big smile, and a happy daughter-in-law was brought to his ears by the evening wind, and he pursed his lips softly. Smiled lightly.

"This movement is very neat." Back in the house, Ji Anyi helped put the barrel aside, rubbed his hair, and brought out some jam.

Smelling the fragrance, Wang Xiaoer's eyes brightened up quite a bit, and he looked at his daughter-in-law silly for a while before he started to eat the jam.

Ji Anyi went to the back of the house, put away the clothes, put the chickens and ducks into the cages and closed the cage door, and put them on the eaves beside the house.

The evening was much cooler than the daytime, and Da Huang was more energetic, chasing and playing with Xiao Huang in the open space in front of the house, and dogs barked from time to time.

Looking at the spirituality of the ewe, Ji Anyi didn't tie it up. Right now, it was standing idly by the side, watching the two puppies play, and occasionally made a long and long bleating sound. Then, Xiao Huang He passed by, played at the ewe's feet for a while, and continued to play with rhubarb again.

It ran back and forth at both ends, but it didn't feel tired at all, but became more energetic.

After finishing their work at home, Ji Anyi and Wang Xiaoer sat under the eaves to enjoy the shade, waiting for Brother Wang to come to fetch water.

For tonight's lotus root bone soup, he specially reserved some more.

In the evening, when the sky was a little dark, Wang Baoer just came over, and Ji Aqiang was with him. Ji Aqiang carried a wooden barrel on his shoulder, and Wang Baoer was empty-handed.

The family can only carry water twice a day, one load each time, and Ji's family is naturally no exception.

"Brother, Brother Aqiang." After getting closer, Ji Anyi stood up, greeted him with a smile, and moved two stools into the kitchen.

Ji Aqiang nodded to Ji Anyi as a greeting, and carried the wooden barrel into the back of the house.

Wang Baoer sat down and looked at Ji Geer at himself, he smiled and said again. "Now, it's fine."

Ji Anyi carefully looked at his smile, it was really good, so he smiled, and talked about Liu Ama's help in planting rice seedlings, and about his staying dinner, brought out the lotus root soup by the way, and shouted from behind the house. "Brother Ah Qiang, come over and have a bowl of soup."

After drinking the soup, the two of them didn't stay any longer, Ji Aqiang carried the well water, Wang Baoer stood beside him, and the two walked towards the vegetable field.

The two figures gradually drifted away under the slightly dark sky.

Standing under the eaves and watching silently, Ji Anyi breathed a sigh of relief.

These days will get better and better.
