reborn as a brother

"Brother Ji, how do you fix the leftover bamboo shoots?" Brother Zhang San yelled in the direction of the kitchen, and asked again. "Do you want to peel these big bamboo shoots? Or put them in the cellar first?"

"Put the big bamboo shoots in the cellar first, and dry the small ones in the sun." Pour out the dirty water in the wooden basin, look at the sky, and prepare dinner.Ji Anyi put the wooden basin back to its original position, and said to Wang Xiaoer. "Don't be busy working, just sit down for a while." After finishing speaking, he walked to the door again. "Brother, dinner is here. I'll cook a meal for five."

Wang Baoer cleared the mud and grass clippings on the mushrooms, heard this, and replied. "Success. Do you want mushrooms? Eat them while they are fresh. If you want them, I'll wash some."

"Okay. Let's have a plate of fried pork with mushrooms." Light up the small stove, cook the rice, and Ji Anyi goes to pick vegetables in front of the house. "Brother, fried eggs with bamboo shoots are also delicious. Is it a whole plate?"

"Well. The hen at home lays eggs every day, and I can't eat them all. I'll go and get some." After washing the mushrooms, Wang Baoer put the wooden basin on the stove, hurried home, collected his clothes and brought four eggs. .

Brother Zhang San put the big bamboo shoots in the cellar properly, went into the kitchen to get a broom and dustpan, and was about to sweep the bamboo shoot shells in front of the house. He glanced at the ingredients on the stove and said with a smile. "Tonight is really rich, like a festival."

"It's the season to eat food. If you don't eat it at this time, you won't be able to eat it if you want to eat it after the season." Ji Anyi smiled cheerfully, cut the mushrooms and put them in a bowl, and chopped the bamboo shoots neatly.

While talking, there was a long and long bleating sound outside the house, followed by two dog barks with completely different sounds.

"Ji Ge'er, the ewe and the dog have gone home." Brother Zhang San, who was cleaning outside the house, saw the three livestock, couldn't help but put down his work, and walked over to tease them. "Hey, Ji Geer's dog went into the mountain and caught a wild rabbit. It's so fat."

Ji Anyi, who was busy in the kitchen, heard this, put aside the vegetable cutting, and walked out in three steps at a time.

Xiao Huang bit the wild rabbit and ran over happily, flicking its tail, pushed the wild rabbit towards Ji Anyi's footsteps, raised his head, barked like a dog asking for credit, tilted his head again, and licked his trousers .

"Yo, it's getting stronger and stronger. Did you catch it alone?" Ji Anyi picked up the wild rabbit on the ground and looked at it. Good guy, it weighs six or seven catties.

Xiao Huang turned his head and yelled at Da Huang beside him, then wagged his tail and threw it on Ji Anyi's feet.

"I knew how you could catch this wild rabbit by yourself." Ji Anyi patted Xiao Huang on the head. "It's done. Go to the back of the house and stay there. I'll give you something hearty for dinner."

Wang Baoer came over with the egg, saw the wild rabbit in Ji Anyi's hand, and smiled. "Xiao Huang and Da Huang are catching wild rabbits again? These two are getting bigger, and we won't have to worry about running out of meat in the future."

"We ate it tonight." Ji Anyi said with a smile.

Brother Zhang San answered from the side. "I'll take it to the river to clean it up."

"I'll go with you, just to visit Aqiang in the field." Saying that, Wang Bao'er put the eggs on the stove, made some water with the pot, took a kitchen knife and put it in the wooden basin, and Brother Zhang San left Coming over to take the wooden basin, Ji Anyi put the wild rabbit into the wooden basin.

When the people left, Ji Anyi took a cup and entered the house, closed the door, filled a cup of water in the space, and quickly came out again, poured it into the broken bowl at the back of the house, let the ewes and dogs drink .

He didn't tidy up the ground in the space now, and it was very inconvenient for people to come and go. Besides, it was pretty good to eat the vegetables in the ground, there was no difference.

He feels that life is very good now, and he feels very at ease in his heart.

What they have now is what they earned little by little, and they don't rely too much on space.

I'm just an ordinary person, so I should live a down-to-earth life. Life is already pretty good, and that's enough.

Space is a good treasure, so it must be carefully hidden, and it will not be used if it can be used, but don't ruin your good life because of a momentary negligence.

This space is a life-saving talisman. In case of a force majeure accident, space is the last retreat and the basis for a new start.

Ji Anyi knew that he was thinking too much and going too far.

It's just that he has a problem with him, and he likes to put the word "steady" at the top of everything he does.

He knew that with his temperament, he was doomed not to make a fortune, but fortunately, he didn't have much promise, as long as he could live in peace and beauty.

This dinner is really rich.Stir-fried pork belly with fresh mushrooms, the taste is not to mention how delicious and smooth it is.Omelette with small bamboo shoots is only eaten at this time of the year when it is delicious.The rabbit meat is stir-fried with ginger and chili, and the taste is not to mention how delicious it is. Add two glasses of wine, and the beauty will be irresistible, plus a small plate of steamed fish sauce and a vegetable soup.

Fortunately, Ji Anyi's actions were swift. Before the meal was served, he packed the dog's food. If he came back after the meal, he would have nothing, and he would not even be able to eat.

After dinner, the sky was a little dark.

After tidying up the kitchen, collecting the clothes that were drying outside, shutting up the chickens and ducks, taking a shower and returning to the house, the sky has completely darkened.

On the side of the Wang family's old house, Wang Baoer sat on the bed, put a coat on her body, looked at Ji Aqiang who was going to bed next to her, and said. "Did you say anything to Ah Mo?"

According to her temperament, after sharing so many things, she didn't even point to making trouble at her door.

He didn't make a fuss about the fish sauce, so there was a reason for it, and half of the money he earned was given to him.

The two of them discussed it, and they only said that the fish sauce was ten coppers a catty, half of it would be shared with Ji Geer, five coppers for each family, and two coppers a catty for him.

He took two or three hundred copper coins for nothing every month, and only then did he stop his mouth.

"Well. I told him that I will give him another fifty copper coins every month in the future, and he will still keep the money for the crops in the family's vegetable field." Speaking of this, Ji Aqiang stopped talking, sat on the bed, and shook his hands. Caught Wang Baoer's hand. "Is it me after all? No matter what, he is also me."

Fifty copper coins.Wang Baoer breathed a sigh of relief, not too much. "I know. That's fine, everyone will be better off."

"Recently, there is not much work in the fields. I thought, I went to the town to find a part-time job for half a month. This house is okay to live in now, but not in winter. At that time, the child was born. Even if the adults can survive, the child is too old. I can't bear it when I'm too young. Besides, it costs more to have a baby, and the fish sauce is a big deal. I will go to the town to do part-time work when I find time. I see that Xiao Er is good at catching wild animals in the mountains, and I also Learn two tricks from him. When you are not busy for a day or two, go into the mountains with him to catch wild animals. It’s only April, and there are still a few months. I can save some money by November. Let’s have three rooms room……"

Speaking of this, Ji Aqiang stopped talking and was silent for a long time before sighing and continuing. "Bao'er, we need to tidy up this junior room. When the kids grow up, let them live in it. We still have to move back when the parents get old."

"Well. I understand it in my heart. Don't try too hard, your body is important." After a pause, he asked again. "Go into town tomorrow?"

"I've already told Dad that I'm going to enter town tomorrow."

"I have saved about ten eggs and duck eggs at home, and there are twenty duck eggs. You can send them to Boss Su's restaurant. Ask if you want fresh bamboo shoots, mushrooms, etc. Our town is only so big, and it's not the end of the year. I guess There is no short-term work to find. If it is too hard, tiring, and low-cost work, don’t take it hard. It’s also good to go back to the mountains to touch some small bamboo shoots and mushrooms. There are all over the mountains and fields, and ground ferns can also be picked. Some people love it. You can try this too."

The couple sat on the head of the bed and chatted in a low voice for a long time, until the moon had already climbed up the treetops, then they yawned and closed the conversation, and fell asleep after lying down under the covers.

Ji Anyi was thinking about the glutinous rice in his heart, and when he heard the sound of the cock crowing, he jumped up as if he had been splashed with chicken blood, quickly put on his clothes, got out of bed and ran into the kitchen, Wang Xiaoer stared blankly I was stunned, where did the daughter-in-law make trouble early in the morning?so excited.

Brother Zhang San yawned and entered the kitchen. When he saw someone in the kitchen, he was so frightened that he lost sleepiness. "Why did Ji Geer wake up so early today?"

"I'm thinking about my glutinous rice, it's nothing, you are busy with your work." Ji Anyi looked at the glutinous rice and smiled, not to mention how happy he was.It's done.This one can make rice in bamboo tubes.Seeing Wang Xiaoer enter the kitchen, he hurriedly said. "Xiao Er, go over and talk to brother, come over for breakfast, let's order something fresh."

"Hey, that's cool. What's fresh for my wife?" Responding, Wang Xiaoer leaned forward, looked at the glutinous rice, and asked in a daze.

Ji Anyi glanced at him twice. "You'll know when you eat it in a while. Hurry up. I guess my brother should wake up. Let him not be too busy making breakfast."

"Okay." After finishing speaking, Wang Xiaoer quickly gave his daughter-in-law a loud boo on the face before striding out of the kitchen.

Brother Zhang San just washed up and entered the room, and when he heard the movement, he smiled.

Ji Anyi was fine at first, but when he saw the smile on Brother Zhang's face, he felt a little embarrassed. "He's more excited in the morning..."

After saying this, I immediately felt awkward.

In particular, when Brother Zhang San nodded with a smile and showed an expression that I understood, Ji Anyi felt even more embarrassing, it would be better not to speak.

"Brother Zhang San, go and buy some meat, I forgot, I ate all the food last night."

"it is good."

For breakfast, I eat rice in bamboo tubes.It was another fresh food, and the few people who ate it were full of fragrance.

"How does it taste?" Ji Anyi asked.

The four gave a particularly neat answer. "Okay!" Then, there was another unified question. "Is there any more?"

Ji Anyi felt at ease.This bamboo tube rice has been made, but it is the same as the previous eating recipe, a little too crude. After meeting with Su Jinming, we will discuss it carefully, and make it more complicated without affecting the taste.

"Brother Aqiang is going into town, is there anything you want to buy?" Wang Baoer asked after breakfast.

"There's no more sugar." There is red dates and glutinous rice in bamboo tubes, and I need sticky sugar to eat. The sugar at home has been eaten this morning.Seeing his brother asking about it, Ji Anyi said it casually.

Brother Zhang San answered. "The saponins are gone."

Around noon, Ji Aqiang came back. "Bao'er, I'm looking for a part-time job. For eight days, I'll start working in the afternoon, twenty coppers a day. I also asked Xiaomu, and he said that he wanted bamboo shoots, mushrooms and ferns. From now on, he will come to transport vegetables every day. In the morning, you Just give him the food, and he will pay the bill on the same day."

"Okay. I see. I'll make lunch right away. At least I'll take a rest after dinner and then go on my way." Wang Baoer put the things in the house first, and he will deliver them in the afternoon.

After lunch, Ji Aqiang hurried into the town.

Wang Baoer went to the next door with his things. Ji Anyi was cleaning up the kitchen. When he saw him coming, he yelled with a smile.

"I put the sugar and saponins here. Ah Qiang asked Xiao Mu today, saying that there is a shortage of bamboo shoots and mushrooms in the restaurant. I thought it was the season, and I would pick some as soon as possible. I will go to the mountain in the afternoon. going or not?"

"Let's go. Brother Zhang San went to look at the fruit trees, and Xiao Er was cleaning up in the field, so it's just the two of us."

In the afternoon, the two wandered around the mountains all afternoon and found a lot of things.

In the evening, Wang Xiaoer came back from the field and passed by the old house of the Wang family. Seeing his brother eating alone, he got bored and ran back home quickly. "Daughter-in-law. Why is my brother eating alone?"

"Brother eating alone?" Ji Anyi was stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, he ran out of the room immediately. "I'll go and have a look."

Wang Xiaoer also followed closely.

"elder brother."

Hearing the sound, Wang Baoer put the bowl down, looked up, and said with a smile. "Why did you come here? Your Brother Aqiang came to the town to do a part-time job. There is food and food at home, so I ate it alone. It tastes like a waste."

Ji Anyi was silent for a while before speaking. "Then, we can eat that together." He looked at Wang Xiaoer sideways and said. "Yes, idiot."

"Yes. Let's eat together." Wang Xiaoer supported his wife.After speaking, he had already acted, and walked out of the house with the vegetable bowl.

His idiot is getting more and more handsome.Ji Anyi smiled, and pulled up Wang Baoer who was a little stunned. "Brother, we are preparing to serve dinner in the room. We're going away. It won't taste good when it's cold."

Ji Aqiang went to the town to work as a part-time worker for eight days, and when he returned home happily, he saw that Bao'er looked even better, his face was so good, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Facing the moonlight at night, the couple carefully counted the copper coins for a long time, their faces beaming with joy.

It's good to have saved another sum of money.

Counting the days, the bamboo shoots have also been soaked in the sour jar for ten days.

"Brother, let's try the taste." Ji Anyi couldn't hold back anymore.

Wang Bao'er was very greedy, and when he heard what he said, she couldn't resist at all. "Success. Let's try."

Looking at that appearance, he was even more excited than Ji Anyi.

The two carefully moved the jar out, took the bowls and chopsticks again, squatted in front of the jar again, and looked at each other.

"I'll open the lid, you pinch it." Thinking of the mellow and sour taste, Wang Baoer couldn't help swallowing.

After a while, he opened the lid of the altar little by little.

The rich mellow and sour smell hit the nostrils, and the greedy worms in the stomach were hooked out instantly.

Ji Anyi quickly picked up several small bamboo shoots. "Brother, you can build the altar."

Cover the altar and move the sour altar into its original position. The two of them looked at the small bamboo shoots in the bowl. They didn't change in appearance. As soon as they got close, they could smell a mellow sour smell, the original fragrance of bamboo shoots, and the small bamboo shoots. The spiciness of chili peppers.

"Try it." Ji Anyi shared a pair of chopsticks with his brother.

The two picked up a small bamboo shoot, hesitated for a while, and then opened their mouths to take a bite.

Emma, ​​it's really crispy and tender, with a hot and sour taste, and a particularly fresh taste without any astringency.

"Brother. This is a success, right? I like the taste." Ji Anyi said something, seeing that his brother didn't respond, he turned his head and saw that he was busy eating bamboo shoots.

Is she really pregnant with a son?

Ji Anyi's eyes glanced at Wang Bao'er's stomach, and it was only over three months old, but it didn't show at all, and he didn't react at all. He should eat and sleep, and do things when he needed to do them. It was normal.

"Delicious." Satisfied, Wang Baoer said with a smile after putting down the bowls and chopsticks. "It's so exciting, it's cool!" He said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Brother, this is the same as fish sauce, let's split it halfway." Ji Anyi put forward his own idea.

These words woke Wang Baoer from the deliciousness. "Why. No way."

"If there is no sour altar, nothing can be made out, so you can get half of the score. There will be a lot of goods in the future, and I have to come to fix the sour altar. Just our jar, it is not enough. Brother, it is so agreed, let's kiss more Don't push it any further, brother." Ji Anyi asked with a smile on his face.

"Thirty to seven points." Wang Bao'er thought for a while and said, very resolutely.

Ji Anyi looked at him like that. "Success. Just three to seven points." When the nephew comes out, prepare some good things for him.It's all the same anyway.

I don't know if this is the way to call it here, should he make up his common sense in advance?

Will the idiot know?

In the evening, Ji Anyi said to Wang Xiaoer. "This little bamboo shoot, I told my brother, three to seven points."

"Go to town tomorrow to talk about this with Su Jinming?" Wang Xiaoer asked another question.

"Yes. There is also the rice in bamboo tubes. I think the small bamboo shoots are crisp and refreshing, sour and spicy. They are delicious. I don't know what price they can sell. We are not tight on money now. I see brother and Ah Qiang Brother has this in mind." As he spoke, Ji Anyi remembered something. "By the way, idiot, the blue bricks used in our house are paid by my brother. You can find a time to return the money to my brother. I'm not very good at this matter. My brother will definitely not accept it. You go, I think You can."

"It's winter, and it happens that the child has just been born. That house won't survive the winter. Brother and the others must be thinking about building a house. I'll give the money to Brother after I return from town." Wang Xiaoer was actually thinking about it. Wearing is another matter.

Don't think that he has forgotten in the past half a month.When I went to town tomorrow and saw Su Jinming, he had to give him a good meal.

Of course, you can't let your wife know.

"I've been thinking about this too. With fish sauce and bamboo shoots, it shouldn't be very difficult to build a green brick house by the end of the year." Ji Anyi began to make calculations in his heart. Once Through experience, I have gained a lot of common sense, and I also know quite clearly how much it costs to build a house.

These two whispered about this matter, and in the old Wang's house, Wang Baoer and Ji Aqiang were also talking about this matter.

Wang Baoer told Ji Aqiang about Xiaosun's split.

Ji Aqiang was naturally happy in his heart. In this way, the construction of the house at the end of the year would be more assured.

The two chattered for a long time before happily falling asleep.

The next day, Ji Anyi found out that the idiot seemed to be very excited. Looking at the bright eyes, what was he thinking?

"What are you thinking?" Ji Anyi didn't rush out of the house, looked at Wang Xiaoer and asked.

I always feel that he has something to hide from him.

"It's nothing." Wang Xiaoer looked at his daughter-in-law innocently and replied in a daze.

Ji Anyi looked him up and down. "There's nothing you can be so excited about? There must be something in your heart, look at your bright eyes."

"Hey." Wang Xiaoer hugged his daughter-in-law. "Daughter-in-law, I am happy every day."

Looking at his bright smiling face, Ji Anyi said with a smile on his face. "Wait until I find out what's going on, hum."

"Daughter-in-law. I'm fine." Wang Xiaoer smiled cheerfully, carried his daughter-in-law directly out of the house, and ran very quickly on purpose.

"Don't smoke early in the morning."

Brother Zhang San heard the movement and looked out, and laughed cheerfully.

"Daughter-in-law, I can still throw you up and catch you again."

"you dare!"

"Brother Wang threw one away, I'll watch it here." Brother Zhang San answered as if joining in the fun.

Spit blood all over your face?Ji Anyi hurriedly said. "Wang Xiaoer put me down quickly, my stomach is upset, I can't eat breakfast, I'm in a hurry with you."

Wang Baoer and Ji Aqiang next door also heard the movement and stood outside to watch, Wang Baoer said to Ji Aqiang with a smile. "These two children are fighting again. After Xiaoer gets better, it's great to see them getting more and more noisy."
