reborn as a brother

The taste of fish sauce was quite to the heart of the village head, Ji Anyi was relieved, there were still two hundred catties of fish sauce to be busy at home, so he left without sitting down.

Aunt Liu walked him to the gate of the courtyard, patted his hands, with a gentle smile on his face, and love in his eyes, just like the sunshine in the late spring, slightly scorching hot, but very comfortable and warm .

He didn't speak, just looked at him and smiled.

That gaze touched Ji Anyi's heartstrings, he suddenly didn't dare to look into his eyes, his eyes were sour, and some kind of liquid seemed to burst out of his eyes.

This look reminded him of his mother, the one who never came back.

"Daddy Liu, I'll go first." With a slightly hoarse voice, Ji Anyi ran away in a panic and a little bit of embarrassment.

He didn't know how to describe his current mood. After so many years, it would be a lie to say that he didn't resent her at all, but just now...

He remembered that this woman had once given him deep maternal love, and that kind of warmth was something he could never experience after he was eight years old.

From love to hate.These four words jumped into my mind unexpectedly.

Ji Anyi was startled, staggered and almost fell to the ground.

He just stood there in a daze, staring at the mud covered with small broken stones, those four words kept spinning in his mind.

"Brother Ji." Seeing Ji Anyi standing there stupidly, Second Brother He got a little bored, approached, and called out.

Looking at his devastated expression, several guesses arose in his heart.

Ji Anyi trembled slightly, and it took him a while to fully come to his senses. Looking at the second brother He who was beside him with concerned eyes, he wiped his face subconsciously, and heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did it.

"Ji Geer, what are you thinking while standing in the sun?" After a pause, the second brother He said again. "I heard that several horse-drawn carriages came to the village. Are you worried about that? Don't worry, the village head is in charge of this matter, so there won't be any major problems. Besides, the whole village is watching, even if someone wants to sneak around If you do something stupid, you can't hide it, you will be discovered immediately, you, don't think too much, the sun is so hot, your body is not particularly strong, go home quickly, I heard that the family is very busy today? If you have something that doesn't matter, you can come and call me, I'm still very neat in doing things."

"Okay. I'm too busy later, so I have to trouble Brother He." Interrupted by Brother He's words, Ji Anyi calmed down a lot. He collected his thoughts and replied with a smile.

Brother He laughed happily when he heard it. "What trouble is it? It's done. Go home. I see that your face is flushed. I don't know how long you have been standing there. Let me tell you, our village chief." Thumbs up. "You, just put your heart in your stomach."

Amused by Brother He's expression, Ji Anyi laughed out loud. "Okay, I'll go home first."

Back home, Liu Xiu said with a smile on her face. "Does the village chief Ji Ge'er also like fish sauce? I know that Ji Ge'er's food is delicious. How could anyone not like it?"

He followed Ji Ge'er, and his cooking skills improved a little during these days. He admired Ji Ge'er very much. He could come up with so many different cooking methods, which was amazing.

"It's done?" Wang Baoer looked over and asked.

Ji Anyi washed his hands, and answered while drying them. "It's done."

Now the atmosphere has returned to the very beginning, with energy and joy in the busyness.

At noon, Ama Liu said that he would go home first and that he had to prepare lunch.

Ji Anyi listened and said hurriedly. "Liu Ah, don't be so busy, let's eat together at noon today, and I will prepare it."

In the morning, with the help of Liu Amo, the efficiency has improved a lot, and it is estimated that work will be over in the evening.

"No, I'm busy today. I'll go home and make lunch. After a while, everyone will eat there. After today's work is over, I will try not to charge late workers. Take it easy tomorrow, and you can set a table with delicious food." He said cheerfully while washing his hands.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiu responded quickly. "I think it's a good idea."

"It's okay, then I'll go to Liu Ama's house for dinner this afternoon, and I think I can finish work in the evening. If I can, I'll prepare dinner." Ji Anyi didn't say much politeness.

It's hard to even turn around in the kitchen now, let alone make lunch, and you have to clean up before you can turn around.Now that Liu Ah is talking like this, he feels very good, and it is a heartfelt wish for him to come out richly at the whole table in the evening or tomorrow.

Cutting some dried radish and bean chips in the shed is okay. The fish is already fishy, ​​and the smell becomes stronger when it is exposed to sunlight. Moreover, marinating fish sauce is a hidden job. In order to busy with this, the things in the kitchen Early in the morning, everything that could be put in the house was put in the house, and some that could be put in the shed were temporarily put in. Only then did some space be moved, barely enough for the few of them to marinate fish sauce in the kitchen.

The last step of marinating fish sauce is to close the door at the back of the house tightly, and the two of them are busy behind here, and the people in front are doing other work with their backs to them.It's not that Ji Anyi said it, everyone seems to think so in their hearts, and they all know how to avoid it when doing things.With this action, Ji Anyi felt very warm in his heart.

Liu Ama hurried home to make lunch, while Ji Anyi and the others continued to rush to work nimbly.

It’s best to finish the work before dark. The oil lamp is burning money. If you want to work late, you will really feel distressed.Fortunately the days are long and the nights are short.

After lunch, I took a break for a while, and then I continued to work.

After a few people rushed to work non-stop, it can be considered that all the work was done before dark, and the fish sauce was successfully marinated and moved into the utility room.

"It smells so strong, I'm so hungry." Liu Xiu stretched her waist, said cheerfully, smelled herself, and said with sparkling eyes. "I like the smell." Bel Xiang said.

Ah Liu patted him on the shoulder. "A fishy smell."

"It's fish sauce." Liu Xiu retorted seriously.

"It's getting late, Brother Ji, I'll take Axiu home first." At this moment, the sky is already a little dark, I have to go home quickly to get dinner out, take a bath or something, it looks like it's going to be dark coming.

However, the moon should be fine tonight, so it's not a big deal.

Thinking in her heart, Liu Ama pulled Liu Xiu up and hurried home.After the two of them left, Wang Baoer Ji Aqiang didn't stay too long, said a few words, and hurried back home.

The place was almost cleared up, Ji Anyi started to prepare dinner.

I've been tired all day today, and I don't have much in mind to make something delicious, so I simply made something.

After dinner, I took a serious bath, and my body smelled like fishy chili sauce, pepper, etc. Although it wasn't unpleasant, it didn't smell bad either. I really don't know why Axiu's child was so happy. I really like to eat fish sauce, I will ask him to take some home tomorrow, I am also very tired these days, I have not seen him complaining about suffering, but he is still laughing and laughing happily.

There was still a lot of cloth left from the cloth I bought last time, so I discussed it with my brother to make a dress for Axiu that can be worn in both spring and autumn. It is really inappropriate to take money for this matter.

As soon as the moon came out, Ji Anyi and Wang Xiaoer lay on the bed, and fell asleep almost as soon as they touched the pillows.

When Xiaomu came over the next day, they were still sleeping.After several knocks on the door, Wang Xiaoer woke up with a start, and pushed the daughter-in-law next to her. "Daughter-in-law. Xiaomu."

Ji Anyi opened his eyes and looked at the roof in a daze. He was stunned for a while before he realized that he quickly got dressed and opened the door. "I was a little too busy yesterday, wait a minute."

After all, he hurried into the kitchen to tidy himself up.

Order and pack the vegetables needed for the day, Xiaomu said. "The two groups stayed partly in Jingyang Town."

"Yeah. I told the village chief when I got here yesterday. He knows it well, so I don't have to worry about it." After a pause, Ji Anyi briefly explained what he had met on the road and what he said over and over.

Xiaomu listened, revealing a not-so-obvious smile. "Okay. There shouldn't be any major problems with this."

"I think so too." Ji Anyi nodded in response.

Then, Xiaomu drove the carriage and left.

The days are still busy and fulfilling, nothing happened, and Hexi Village is still as usual, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

27. This day is a little special.

Even Ji Anyi himself forgot that today was his 12th birthday.

When Wang Baoer showed up early in the morning, he was still in a daze. Except for the day when he was making fish sauce, he came here early because there were too many things to do. He was never seen so early at other times. He came here completely before breakfast. .

"Brother. Good morning." Ji Anyi greeted with a smile. Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't ask. He knew that his brother must be here for something, and he would find out after a while.

Wang Baoer responded with a smile. "Good morning, Brother Ji." To be honest, the three words "good morning" are quite awkward, but it feels good. "Quickly open the door, I'm here to order some noodles this morning."

Could it be that what holiday is today?What are the customs?

Ji Anyi silently flipped through the memory of the deity, and opened the kitchen door with a quick movement of his hands.

After a while, he still didn't find the reason. "Brother, what day is today?" I couldn't help asking.

"You child." Wang Bao'er, who was making a fire, heard this and looked up at him dumbfounded. "Today is your 12th birthday, let me make longevity noodles for you."

On birthdays, the elders in the family serve longevity noodles with a poached egg on top.

12th birthday...

Ji Anyi stared blankly at the busy Wang Bao'er, his eyes followed him, and his eyes were slightly moist.

It's been too long, the birthdays after the age of 12 are all celebrated by him alone, even if there are several brothers, most men are careless, how can they remember this, some even forget their own birthdays.

Not long after, there was a burst of fragrance from the kitchen, which was a very common noodle fragrance.Ji Anyi smelled a different emotion in his heart.

"Come on, this noodle, you can't break it, you have to suck it in one gulp." Wang Baoer said, putting the noodle on the table with a smile on her face. "Fast food."

This is a very simple and unpretentious bowl of noodles.Plain soup, thin noodles, covered with a yellow poached egg, sprinkled with chives.

"Don't be dazed, eat quickly." Wang Baoer pushed Ji Anyi's shoulder with a smile.

Ji Anyi came back to his senses, turned his head and smiled at Wang Baoer. "good."

As he spoke, he picked up the chopsticks and began to suck the noodles.

"It can't be broken." Wang Baoer reminded again from the side.

Ji Anyi nodded, indicating that he understood.

He ate this bowl of noodles very carefully. He felt that this was the best noodle he had ever eaten.

After he finished eating the noodles, Wang Baoer took out a pair of cloth shoes from his bosom. The stitches were very fine and firm, and it could be seen that a lot of thought had gone into these shoes. "Come on, let's see if the size fits."

"Brother." Ji Anyi didn't know what to say, his heart was warm.

Wang Baoer smiled. "Hurry up and try the size, I guess I can't go wrong."

"It fits very well." Ji Anyi walked two steps in the clothes, which was very comfortable and soft.

These shoes must have spent a lot of fabric.

"Just fit." Wang Baoer smiled with satisfaction. "It's done, there's nothing else to do. I'm going home first. There's still a lot of work at home."

As October approached, it became more and more busy. Rice had to be harvested, wheat had to be planted, and various crops in the field had to be harvested.

In such a busy day, my brother also made such a good pair of shoes...

"Brother." Ji Anyi wanted to say something, but found that he didn't know what to say, so he shouted, but there was no more words.

Wang Baoer looked at him, saw that he was silent, and rubbed his hair. "I'll go home first and get busy, and call me if something happens."

"Brother, thank you." Seeing Wang Bao'er walking farther and farther, Ji Anyi took two steps forward and blurted out such a sentence.

"Stupid words." Wang Bao'er listened, laughed happily, and then left in a hurry.

Ji Anyi stood there for a while, then smiled.

It's not just a stupid sentence.He must have been a demon just now.

Not long after, Wang Xiaoer came back from the col, and Ji Anyi also served him a bowl of noodles. Before he could ask, he explained that he had already eaten noodles.

In a blink of an eye, it's October.

The whole atmosphere in Hexi Village began to change and became tense. This month had to be busy with everything, which was busier than the busy farming season in July.

Wang's family has two acres of land, and Ji's family has two acres of land. There are not many crops in the mountain depression, but Ji's three acres of dry land has a lot of crops to clean up and dried radishes to dry.

This matter is not too much, and it is not too little to say, if two grown-ups do these jobs, there is no need to be too nervous, and it would be a bit reluctant to change them.

Ji Anyi sighed in his heart, got up early and followed Wang Xiaoer to the field to harvest.

At this moment, something went wrong.

It was strange that the people left in the town didn't leave, and they didn't see any movement. Now, they understood their thoughts.

The autumn harvest is the time when time is the most critical. The people in the village are all focused on the crops, and they are all working hard, so they don't care about other things.

It is estimated that that group of people thought so, and the Li family probably thought so too.

This time the person who had the accident was not the other family, but the second son of the Li family. The second son of the Li family had no skills, but he had a lot of thoughts.

He married the third elder brother of the Zhang family. This third elder brother is cowardly, and it is common for him to be beaten and scolded.

The third brother, Ji Anyi, had seen him before.

At that time, elder brother Li came over with an apricot and said he wanted to fetch well water, and he was the second elder brother Li who came with him.

This time when something happened, everyone knew that it was the second son of the Li family who was thinking about it, but they never thought that the Li family saw that the matter had been exposed, and pushed the third brother Zhang to take the blame.

When he knew this situation, Ji Anyi was really disgusted.

This second son of the Li family is really not a man!
