reborn as a brother

On the day of Xiaonian, there was a heavy snowfall, and the cold wind was blowing, especially fierce.

Wang Xiaoer and Xie Qi went to the shed at the back of the house to have a look. The shed was built very firmly at the beginning, not because they were afraid that the cold wind would blow it down, but the whole roof was repaired, and the thatch was thickened to avoid the poultry inside. The animals are freezing.

Brother Zhang San was sitting by the fire pit peeling corn. Ji Anyi saw that the time was almost up, and dug out a sweet potato that was buried beside the fire pit.

"Do you have to bury it for a while? It will hurt your stomach if you eat it if it's not cooked." After peeling a piece of corn, throw the corn cob in a corner where it can be used as firewood. Brother Zhang San clapped his hands and picked up the I took a sip of the water. "Fortunately, we went to the town the day before yesterday to buy new year's goods. It snowed a lot this day. In two days, prices will still go up."

Ji Anyi buried the sweet potatoes in his hand back by the fire, sat back on the stool with a smile, added two logs of firewood to the fire, and talked while peeling corn. "Next year we will use the entire small stone mill, which will be of great use."

"Yeah. It's not difficult to grind a small stone, and it's convenient to put the whole thing at home." Putting down the cup in his hand, Zhang San continued to peel the corn, and said again. "It's still early, I'll take some corn to Liu Ah's house and grind it into cornmeal. What are you talking about this morning?"

"It's such a cold day, don't go out. Tomorrow morning we will cook pumpkin pancakes in the same way. This year's pumpkin and wax gourd harvest is good. I will make winter melon soup tonight." While talking, suddenly there was a big commotion. Quickly and briefly, as if something had collapsed, in this direction... Ji Anyi stood up and ran out of the house.

Brother Zhang San also heard that this direction came from Wang Baoer's side, but don't let anything happen, thinking in his heart, he quickly chased after him.

After leaving the house, he walked a few steps on the thick snow, and heaved a sigh of relief looking at Ji Anyi from a distance.

It was a wooden shed built last year. At that time, the family was busy with many things and had no place to stay, so they built a temporary shed, which was not very strong. The shed collapsed due to the strong wind today.

He just breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that nothing happened, but heard the baby crying from the room not far away, presumably the little fat man was frightened.

Ji Anyi hurried over and knocked on the door.

"You're here." Wang Baoer opened the door, turned around quickly, picked up the little fat man on the small wooden bed, coaxed him skillfully, and said a few more words to Ji Anyi. "He was startled by the commotion outside, and he was still sleeping soundly just now. The little fat man stopped crying, let's see who is here."

"Be good, don't cry." Ji Anyi closed the door tightly, walked over, and lightly squeezed the back of the little fat man's soft hand.

The little fat man looked over with red eyes, his long eyelashes were still stained with tears, and he looked pitiful.

"Come on, give me a hug, let's not cry." Ji Anyi couldn't hold back, reached out to hug the little fat man in his arms, and licked his face.

The little fat man buried his face in his neck, murmured a few times, and stopped crying, but limply, just nestled quietly, and stopped laughing.

"Scared." Wang Baoer said softly. "I slept soundly just now. I was drying the diaper, and suddenly there was a big movement outside, and he was frightened and cried, maybe he was shocked, alas." Sighed lightly, he reached out and stroked the little fat man's head .

Seeing my brother's listless appearance makes my heart ache.

"Is there not enough diapers?" Ji Anyi glanced at her and asked.

"It's okay. I have a lot of diapers. It's snowing all the time. The diapers are dry all the time. I'm angry. I saw that the little fat man's butt is a little red. I'm going to Dr. Li's house. Come here." It's just right, help me look at the little fat man, I'll go to Dr. Li's house." Said, Wang Baoer put the half-dried diaper on the stool, stood up and was about to go out, before leaving, she looked at the little boy again. Fatty, he looked like he was about to fall asleep, and he felt more at ease.

Ji Anyi said something in a low voice. "The snow is thick, walk slowly."

"Yeah. I know." Wang Baoer responded, and hurried out of the room.

Not long after Wang Baoer left, Wang Xiaoer pushed the door and walked in, bringing in a gust of cold wind, he closed the door casually, and walked inside, shouting. "daughter in law."

The voice was a bit loud, the little fat man visibly trembled, Ji Anyi felt it, and seeing Wang Xiaoer approaching, he gestured for him to keep his voice down, and when he got closer, he asked in a low voice. "Is our wooden shed finished?"

"It's done." Wang Xiaoer looked at the little fat man, saw his eyes were red, and was stunned. "He cried?"

"Yes. I was shocked by the movement outside, and I don't know when Brother Aqiang will come back. You and Xie Qi will clean up the place, and you can use it as firewood when you pick it up." Rarely holding the little one for so long Fatty, even if he was sitting on a stool, his arms were a little sore. Ji Anyi slightly adjusted the little fatty's sleeping position to make his hands feel better.

Wang Xiaoer nodded in agreement, and asked again. "When I first came here, I watched my brother go to the village? What did he do?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to hug the little fat man.

"It's fine for me to hug, and you're not good at hugging. He's sluggish right now, so don't bother. My brother went to Dr. Li's house. It's not sunny today, and the diapers are all dry. I'm a little angry. After wearing it for a long time, the little fat man is a little uncomfortable, and his ass is a little angry." Seeing the little fat man listless for the first time, Ji Anyi felt a little distressed when he saw the little fat man. "He fell asleep and seemed a little uneasy. When you first came in, the sound was a little louder, and he was shaking, and he didn't know how many days it would take to recover."

"I'll clean up the pile of rotten wood outside." Hearing this, Wang Xiaoer didn't say much, stood up and walked out.

Ji Anyi answered. "Call Xie Qi up, and the two of you should hurry up, it's snowing heavily, don't stay outside for too long."

"En." Responding, Wang Xiaoer came out of the kitchen.

At this time, whether he was walking or talking, he would be gentle, even closing the door gently, so as not to startle the little fat man again.

When Wang Baoer came back, he saw them busy in the snow and walked over. "Why are you busy with work? The snow is falling, go into the house, don't freeze people."

"The things coming in and going out are a bit in the way, so it's good to have cleaned them up earlier. As for this matter, Xie Qi and I will clean them up in a while." Said, Wang Xiaoer carried two bundles of wood and walked into the kitchen .

Wang Baoer opened the kitchen door, put the things in her hands on the stove, and followed her to work outside. After a while, the place was cleaned up, and the snow-soaked wood was neatly placed in a corner. When the sky cleared Take it out and dry it to burn it.

"What did Doctor Li say?" Ji Anyi asked in a low voice, and said again. "Fall asleep, sleep well."

Just now the three of them came in to put the wooden blocks, even though their movements were as light as possible, there was still a little movement, but the little fat man didn't respond, he was still in a deep sleep.

"I gave some medicine powder, and I poured it into it when I washed my butt. Afterwards, the diaper was dried and I had to leave it overnight before I could use it. Alas, it was only those two times when I was in a hurry to use the diaper, and I dried it in a hurry. I changed it." It was the first time I was Ah Qiang, and Ah Qiang went to the town to do a part-time job, and he was usually alone in the house with the little fat man, and Wang Baoer was really a little busy. Recently, he has become more proficient, and the situation has improved. .

"It's already a new year, Brother Aqiang should be back soon, right?" Seeing Wang Baoer coming to hug the little fat man, Ji Anyi cooperated with him and asked him to carry the sleeping little fat man away. The empty arms in his arms immediately relieved pressure, At the same time, I also felt a little cold in my empty chest.

"It's either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. It's just a matter of these two days." Holding the little fat man and sitting on the stool, Wang Baoer carefully looked at his sleeping state, feeling much more at ease.

I thought in my heart, I have to pay attention next time, the child is easily startled.

Seeing that it was almost time, Ji Anyi and Wang Xiaoer went back to the house.

As soon as he opened the door, before he entered the kitchen, he heard a very powerful sentence, that voice came from Xie Qi. "Brother Zhang San, what do you think of me? Do you think I'm reliable?"

So direct.

The moment Ji Anyi heard this, a flash of light flashed in Ji Anyi's mind, thinking of what Xie Qi raised his voice yesterday...

Looking at it now, it really wasn't his delusion, he said it specially for brother Zhang San?

Think about it, Brother Zhang San seemed to be pouring food for chickens and ducks behind the house.

This Xie Qi is really bold!Even in this matter is so bold.It's just that it's not right to be so forthright.

"Brother Ji is back?" Brother Zhang stood up quickly, with an unnatural smile, a trace of panic in his eyes, and a slightly sad look between his brows. "The sweet potatoes are already ripe and fragrant. Come and eat one."

Xie Qi looked over with a normal expression. "I'm back." Then, his eyes were on Third Brother Zhang, and he followed him wherever he went.

Why do I always feel an indescribable sense of familiarity...

Ji Anyi was muttering in his heart, and with the rest of his eyes, he caught sight of the idiot looking at him with a smile, and at this glance, he knew why he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity.

Back then, Wang Xiaoer was like this, his gaze kept up and down, sticking to him all day long.

Did you do something bad?Ji Anyi turned his body sideways, looked at Wang Xiaoer with a smile, his eyes obviously conveyed some kind of questioning.

Wang Xiaoer kept smiling, just like his little nephew, smiling very silly.

"Brother Ji, little brother Wang eats sweet potatoes, not hot, just right." Brother Zhang San walked to Ji Anyi's side, avoiding Xie Qi's gaze.

It was the first time that someone looked at him so stickily, and the feeling in his heart was hard to describe. He was a little at a loss, and at the same time, he was flustered and very uneasy.

"Brother Zhang San, why do they all have it, but I don't?" Xie Qi asked pitifully.

He is thick-skinned, so thick that he is really aboveboard.

Brother Zhang San has a thin skin and what he said just now, he knew that Ji Anyi and the two must have heard it, so he finally pretended that nothing happened, and now Xie Qi made such a fuss again, he moved his mouth for a while Just said something. "You just ate."

"I took it myself just now, and it wasn't given by Brother Zhang." Xie Qi said confidently, his gaze became more intense, obviously wanting Brother Zhang to give him a sweet potato too.

Ji Anyi couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Brother Ji, what do we have for dinner?" Brother Zhang San couldn't stand this guy, so he had to change the subject.

"Stew winter melon soup as the soup base, and let's eat it in a messy pot?" Ji Anyi thought for a while and asked.

Brother Zhang San listened and nodded. "Okay. I'll go outside and pick some vegetables." He was worrying about how to leave the house, and this opportunity came.

"I think Brother Zhang San's fried dishes are delicious, what do you think." Xie Qi muttered to Wang Xiaoer next to him in a low voice.

Wang Xiaoer answered without hesitation. "My daughter-in-law's fried dishes are delicious, it's recognized."

"Ji Ge'er's cooking skills are good. I think Zhang San's fried dishes have an indescribable taste, but I feel more joyful. I feel very happy when I eat his fried dishes." Xie Qi rubbed his chin He said it with a serious face.

The two of you muttered one sentence to another.

Brother Zhang San went out to pick vegetables, so he had to pass by here, the words naturally fell into his ears verbatim, he felt that Xie Qi was doing it on purpose.

After Brother Zhang left, Ji Anyi looked at the two with a smile on his face, and looked at them with a smile and muttered.

After being stared at for a while, Wang Xiaoer was a little overwhelmed, looked at his daughter-in-law pretending to be stupid and smiled and said something. "Daughter-in-law, your cooking is the most delicious, no one else can compare to it."

"Really?" Ji Anyi still looked at Wang Xiaoer with a smile.

Wang Xiaoer nodded sharply, and Bel spoke seriously. "For sure, it must." After finishing speaking, he happily ran to Ji Anyi's side. "Daughter-in-law will have a messy pot stew at night, and I'll cut some of your favorite cured fish."

"The cured fish has to be fried." Ji Anyi looked at him from the side, still smiling, the smile was very kind, but the kindness was a bit too much.

"Daughter-in-law." Wang Xiaoer's face fell, and he looked at him listlessly, reached out to hold his hand, and scratched at his palm.

Ji Anyi's face turned pale, he glanced at Wang Xiaoer, and shook his hand away.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoer hurriedly said. "Daughter-in-law, I learned from the little fat man."

Xie Qi was listening beside him, bursting out laughing.

"Daughter-in-law, I'll make a fire, and we'll fry preserved fish." Wang Xiaoer held his hand again, looked at him eagerly, and said something seriously. "I will never do anything bad again."

"Xie Qi, if you really have the heart, then don't worry. Brother Zhang's matter can't be rushed, you have to take your time. You will put him under psychological pressure." Ji Anyi was not angry with a fool, but just felt that Dude, it seems a little long and crooked.

Wang Xiaoer looked at Xie Qi and followed suit. "My wife is right." Turning her head, she grinned brightly at Ji Anyi.

"I see." Xie Qi replied sincerely.

"Daughter-in-law, I'll make a fire and you cut the cured fish, and we'll fry the fish to eat." Wang Xiaoer let go of his wife's hand and strode to the stove.

Xie Qi took the job of cutting pork belly.

The three of them were busy in the kitchen, and after a while, Brother Zhang came into the house with the washed vegetables.

He was a little nervous, a little inexplicably anxious, but fortunately, Xie Qi didn't say any more nonsense, and his gaze didn't rest on him, he was relieved, and gradually let go, no longer restrained . The delicious and delicious messy pot stew is ready, and the sky is getting dark.

Ji Anyi packed a bowl and was about to send it to the next door. Seeing this, Wang Xiaoer hurriedly took the bowl and said. "I'll deliver my daughter-in-law." After speaking, he strode out of the kitchen.

Ji Aqiang came back at 26, the situation is not very good, and I don’t know where he found the part-time job, it should be hard work, the whole person is so tired that his back is on his back, his mental state is a bit bad, he looks old Like a year old, as soon as I got home, I took a shower and fell asleep after touching the pillow.

Wang Baoer called Ji Anyi over and asked him to take care of the little fat man, braved the heavy snow and walked towards Dr. Li's house by stepping on the snow, Wang Xiaoer followed closely behind, and the two took Dr. Li over, Ji Aqiang made a check.

At that time, Ji Anyi was not in the house, he was taking care of the little fat man, but judging from the expressions of Wang Baoer and Wang Xiaoer, the situation was not good.

"What's going on?" Ji Anyi asked Wang Xiaoer in a low voice.

Wang Xiaoer thought for a while and replied. "Doctor Li said that he has done too much heavy work during this time, which has seriously worn down his body. He must take good care of it, otherwise, he may not even be able to handle a load of millet."

"It's okay." Seeing that Wang Xiaoer was in a low mood, with a sad look on his brows, Ji Anyi held his hand and said something softly.

Over there, Dr. Li said to Wang Baoer. "Be careful in the future. Don't force yourself to do hard work anymore. Don't think that nothing will happen if you are strong. This time is very dangerous. His foundation has been worn out. Fortunately, it is the slack season. Take good care of him. It will recover almost in the next year. Xiao Er, you can go home with me to get the medicine, this medicine is taken twice a day, at least a month, and you have to adjust slowly."

Seeing that Dr. Li was about to leave, Wang Xiaoer hurriedly followed, and Ji Anyi followed after seeing him. After going out, he stopped Dr. Li, walked over, and said. "Doctor Li still has a ginseng whisker at home, can Brother Aqiang use it now?"

"Yes. You can give me the ginseng root, and I'll divide it up and put it in the medicine." Dr. Li replied.

Ji Anyi looked at Wang Xiaoer and said. "You know where the ginseng whiskers are kept. You go and bring them to Dr. Li. I'll go into the room and have a look. Brother Aqiang is now on his mind. I have to watch the little fat man."

"Okay." Wang Xiaoer replied, and hurriedly ran towards his house.

"Brother. It's okay." Seeing the little fat man sleeping soundly on the small wooden bed, Ji Anyi entered the room, walked up to Wang Baoer and said softly.

Wang Baoer was silent for a while, then stood up and sighed. "Let's go out."

"When I left, I told him, don't work too hard, the days are still long, he promised well, how can I think..." Looking at the burning fire, Ji Aqiang's current appearance appeared in his mind , Wang Baoer felt very uncomfortable, and her chest was tight.

It shouldn't be so short of money.Ji Anyi thought silently in his heart, and it was not good to ask too directly, so after thinking about it, he said something. "I've collected a deposit for the fish sauce here, and half of the money will be paid out first."

In the past, the goods were delivered, and the money was calculated together.

"No. I'm not in a hurry to spend money at the moment. Although I built a new house and gave birth to a little fat man, I still have some money in my hands. You, Brother Aqiang, should be thinking that it is always good to earn more money. Thinking about it I have a good foundation, so I just work regardless, and the result..." Speaking of this, Wang Baoer paused, and then said. "I'm surprised. Ah Qiang shouldn't do things like this... He has no rules. He knows everything in his heart. How could he not take his body seriously this time? Thinking about it now, I always feel a little bit Can't figure it out."

Speaking of it, Ji Anyi also felt a little puzzled, Ji Aqiang really didn't seem like a person who could do such a thing. "Is there something going on inside?"

"I'll ask Ah Qiang when he wakes up." Thinking of this, Wang Baoer panicked.

Not long after, Wang Xiaoer came back with the medicine, which was a five-day dose. Dr. Li said that he had finished taking it, and he would come over to have a look.

I don't know when Ji Aqiang will wake up, and besides, it's neither early nor late, and it's not suitable to take medicine, so Wang Baoer put the medicine aside properly, thinking about frying it up after making lunch.

"Brother, I'm going home to make dinner, and I'll bring the food over later, so don't make it." Knowing that he had something on his mind, but also had to look at the little fat man, and still had Ji Aqiang in his heart, Ji Anyi was really uncomfortable. rest assured.

Brother Zhang San on the side said. "I'll stay here first."

"Alright." Ji Anyi agreed, and hurried back to the house with Wang Xiaoer.

Xie Qi hesitated for a moment, but he didn't stay, and followed him back to the house.It's the same when he comes over to deliver food in a while.

After lunch, Ji Aqiang still didn't wake up, and was still in a deep sleep.

Wang Baoer hugged the fat man who had already woken up, and sat by the bed for a while, deliberately put the fat man next to his father, the little fat man was having a good time, scratching the quilt, pulling his father's hair, kicking He kicked his legs, and saw that his father didn't play with him halfway, he seemed a little angry, and put his fat little arms on his father's face.

Even though the little fat man was tossing around like this, Ji Aqiang still didn't wake up, which shows how exhausted he is.

"Stop quarreling with your father." After the little fat man made a fuss for a while, Wang Baoer carried him out of the house.

Ji Anyi found that his eyes were slightly red, and his heart felt a little heavy.

Looking at this situation, I guess there is really something wrong.

During dinner, Ji Aqiang finally woke up and had a good night's sleep. He looked more energetic, but he had no appetite. He only ate a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup. Compared with his previous appetite When I woke up, I was really insignificant.

Even though it was late and it was dark outside, Ji Anyi and the others didn't go home, they stayed here to find out about the situation.

Unexpectedly, Ji Aqiang remained silent and didn't answer much, but said that seeing that there was a lot of money, he accepted the hard work.

Well, he didn't want to say it, and they couldn't force him to ask, so they had to go home.

Maybe there was nothing going on inside at all, it was because they were thinking too much, but Ji Aqiang took it because there was a lot of money to live.It's that simple.
