hunting and farming husband

It rained peach blossoms overnight outside the house, and the small courtyard was integrated with mountain ink.

Husband and wife get up and cook.

Ye Liandong rolled up the firewood and was about to light the fire when a cat meowed from inside the stove.

Holding the firewood and bowing his head, he saw two round eyes like night pearls shining dimly in the stove.

"Why did you run in?" Ye Rendong stretched out his hand tentatively.

Cheng Langyu said: "Be careful of being scratched."

"No." Ye Liandong put his hand on Maomao's head, and said with charming teeth, "Good boy."

Ye Liandong grabbed the cat's paw and grabbed it out.

Looking at the black cat, which is only three or four months old, after a night of rest, it is still a little listless.

Ye Liandong patted the dust on the back of his neck: "I just wiped it for you yesterday, and it's dirty again."

The black cat is obedient, its hind legs curled up into balls, its round eyes staring at the person, allowing Ye Liandong to move.

Ye Liandong tapped the tip of its nose: "So obedient."

Holding the cat on his knees, hitting the flint a few times, Ye Lonicera lit the fine grass.

The warmth came quickly, and the black cat on the lap slowly stretched its body, resting its head on its front paws, closing its eyes and purring.

"Sir, I want to catch fish." Ye Rendong said to Cheng Langyu along Maomao.

Cheng Langyu poured the washed rice: "Okay, let's go later."

Ye Liandong showed her beauty, it happened to be raining today, so she couldn't do much farm work.Catch more fish and save them to feed the cats later.

The man was busy at the stove, Ye Liandong softened his brows and eyes, and held the cat's claws to warm up the fire.

The drizzle turned into needles, bit by bit piercing into the small river in front of the courtyard.Circles of ripples appeared, forming a scene of its own in front of the empty Mongolian mountains.

A bowl of Yangchun noodles for breakfast, and an egg for each person.

Enjoying the drizzle outside, Ye Liandong was next to Cheng Langyu, sipping noodles.

Cheng Shao and Cheng Bao'er cracked eggs together, peeled them and put them in a bowl, and ate them with noodles and eggs.

Cheng Langyu was rarely laid back, and his whole body was quiet, with the feeling of a hermit fishing with a bamboo pole.

He took the egg with his big hand and tapped it on the table a few times, and the egg cracked.

He slowly peeled off the eggshell, taking half of it off.

Ye Liandong sighed, looking at his hands with puffed cheeks.

Lips suddenly touched the smooth and tender egg white, and Ye Liandong took a bite.It happened that the chopsticks picked up the noodles and put them in the mouth together.

With bulging cheeks, Cheng Langyu couldn't resist poking lightly.

Ye Liandong ate happily, and did not forget to remind Cheng Langyu, who took care of him: "My husband also eats."

Cheng Langyu's eyes were light, reflecting his husband's little hair.He withdrew his gaze and settled for the bowl of noodles that was as big as his face.

A bowl of noodles is only two liang, Ye Liandong can eat enough.

He slumped on the stool, leaning on the man to digest.

"Fu Lang, get up and walk." Cheng Langyu put away the bowls and chopsticks.

"Yeah." Ye Rendong lazily poured over to Cheng Shao's side again.

Cheng Bao'er had finished eating long ago, and was squatting in front of the stove, pinching the black cat's claws.

"Maomao." The childish voice was childish.

Cheng Shao was leaned on by Ye Rendong, half of his body was frozen, and he wiped the table with a rag in his other hand.

"Bao'er," Cheng Shao put the tablecloth away and shouted to the kitchen, "Bao'er, hello Dahui."

When Ye Liandong heard it, the corners of his mouth sank.It's good that these two kids didn't learn from their mothers.

Cheng Baoer lightly covered the cat's ears, and replied loudly: "Brother, I got it."

However, it was raining outside.

Ye Liandong got up and followed them to the backyard.

Ever since they knew what rabbits eat, Cheng Shao and Cheng Baoer spent half a day looking for rabbit grass outside.

Dry and tender, as long as you can eat it, bring it back.

For this reason, Ye Liandong specially prepared a basket and put it outside the pigsty, and put the grass dug by the two children inside.

But if you keep digging every day, the fresh and tender accumulation will spoil if you accumulate too much.The two little ones will spread it out on the fence, or take it to the stove to dry.

The little rabbit is still small, so it doesn't keep warm on its body. It's all squeezed into the big rabbit's fur, and it can't be seen outside the pigsty.

Ye Rendong watched Cheng Shao and Cheng Baoer grab a handful of grass and throw them into the pig trough, then turned around and looked at him obediently.

"Okay?" Ye Rendong said.

"Okay." The two children nodded, and then pulled one, leading Ye Liandong back.

inside the house

The black cat nestled in front of the stove, and Cheng Langyu stood there watching, put the noodles in the pot into a bowl with a gap, and handed it to it.

"Eat." Cheng Langyu got up and stood away, looking at the cat.

Only water was fed last night, and the cats at home ate with people.If you want to eat something better, go to the Yunshui River and catch fish by yourself.

When Ye Liandong came in, he saw a man as big as his husband blocking the stove.

Glancing down, the black cat sniffed at the bowl that came from nowhere, and ate it whole.

"Sir," Ye Rendong took the man's palm, "You did it?"

Cheng Langyu brushed the drizzle from his hair. "It found it by itself."

Ye Liandong's lips curled up: "Really?"

Cheng Langyu didn't change his face, and raised his sleeves to wash the dishes: "Of course."

Ye Liandong chuckled, and followed the child to squat in front of the cat, watching it eat noodles.

"It's not afraid of life." Ye Rendong said.

"Sister-in-law, are we raising it?" Cheng Shao asked.

Cheng Baoer raised his head proudly: "I will definitely raise it, the elder brother has already eaten!"

Ye Liandong caught a glimpse of his father-in-law who was washing dishes, and nodded seriously.

"When the rain stops, we will catch fish and feed the cats. But you two remember, you are not allowed to cross the fence to the river, you know?"

Cheng Shao nodded seriously: "Sister-in-law, we are older children, we know it."

Ye Liandong rubbed the heads of the two children. "Just be good."

After Cheng Langyu cleaned up the stove, he picked up Ye Liandong who was squatting on the ground.

"It's not good to squat for a long time." Cheng Langyu said, "Don't you want to raise pigs? Let's catch them while we have time."

Ye Rendong turned his head in surprise: "Pig?"

Cheng Langyu pinched the tip of his nose: "Forgot, what you said last night."

"I haven't forgotten, let's go now?" Ye Rendong turned around and put his hands on the man.

Cheng Langyu's short body touched the tip of his nose. "Well, go now."

"It's fish..." Ye Liandong stood on tiptoe, looking over the man's shoulder at the cat who was still eating.

Cheng Lang lived in Yuhuan and carried him out. "The fish is simple, just collect it in the next basket at night."

There are so many fish in the Yunshui River, and every household has no meat to eat, so they will catch some fish from time to time to make tooth sacrifices.Throwing a pannier is sure to get a better basket.

Ye Rendong listened, and obediently lay on the man's shoulder, watching Cheng Shao and Cheng Shao getting farther and farther away.

Suddenly, he patted the man on the shoulder and lowered his voice: "Sir, have you let him go?"

"Let it go, I don't know if I can meet you on the road." Cheng Langyu said nonchalantly.

The couple found an older basket from the woodshed, and tied cloth strips on both sides.

When Ye Rendong returned to the room, Cheng Langyu walked towards the river bank with his back basket.

"Master! Opening an umbrella!" Ye Rendong followed out with an umbrella.

Cheng Baoer and Cheng Shao guarded the cat, one stroked the head and the other followed the back.

"Brother, there is big gray and big black." Cheng Baoer said, "Can we still feed the pigs enough?"

Cheng Shao hugged his knees and shook his head: "Pigs eat grass, and there are a lot of pig grass. But I don't think pigs look good."

Cheng Baoer showed his white teeth and smiled.

"You can eat meat!"

In the corner, the rain disperses and the clouds gather.

Ye Rendong watched Cheng Langyu put down the basket and fix it, then locked the door and went to the village.

It had just rained and the path was muddy.If you are not careful, you can slip into the field.

It didn't take long for the group of people to walk on the road, and the cloth shoes became a lot heavier.

Ye Rendong walked in the front, letting Cheng Shao and Cheng Baoer step on the grass while walking.He also stopped from time to time, taking the little doll behind him.

Cheng Langyu followed suit, stepping on the grass that was about to get up.

"Slap." He stepped on the weeds directly into the mud.

The paddy field, which is cleaner than a mirror, is a bit deserted, just like the knight-errant who withdraws his sword and returns to seclusion, sharp and lenient.

Two quarters of an hour later, the four arrived at the south of the village.

Cheng Shao and Cheng Baoer ran to the ancestral house like having fun, they haven't looked for Yuanxiao to play for a long time.

"Slow down." Ye Rendong turned around and asked again, "Master, should we buy the pig first or go back to the ancestral house first?"

Piggy is not cheap, a piggy weighing thirty to forty catties costs half a tael less.Ye Rendong took the opportunity to give Cheng Langyu a couple of things.

Cheng Langyu led the people onto the main road of the village. "Go find a helper to lift the pig first."

Ye Rendong: "Second brother?"

Cheng Langyu nodded sincerely: "Well, Cheng Limin."

When the couple arrived at the ancestral house, there were laughter and laughter.

When Ye Liandong entered the door, he saw three little boys sharing interesting stories of the past few days.The little doll Yuanxiao supported her knees, occasionally echoing.

And the other two were still being dragged around by Hu Zi, and their mouths were not idle.

"Grandpa, grandma, sister-in-law, uncle." Ye Rendong called.

"Brother Dong is here, come in and sit down." Tan Chunliu carried a stool to the main room.

Cheng Langyu pushed Ye Rendong's back: "You play first, I'll go by myself."

Ye Rendong glanced at the man, and was dragged into the room to chat with his sister-in-law.

Cheng Langyu went directly to find his grandfather Cheng Zhongshu in another room.

The old man was half covered with the quilt, smoking dry tobacco on the pillow.Seeing Cheng Langyu coming, the old eyes slightly opened: "Langyu, I am willing to come and play."

Cheng Langyu moved the stool and sat by the bed, and said straight to the point: "Grandpa, I want to buy a piglet."

Cheng Zhongshu stroked his beard. "Bought by Li Er's family?"

Cheng Langyu: "This is the only family in the village."

Cheng Zhongshu got up and put on his shoes, and said, "Let's go, I don't think his family has gone out today, so I just went to have a look."

"Grandpa, I'll call my second brother." Cheng Langyu said upon seeing this.

"Go, go." Cheng Zhongshu waved his hand.

Ye Liandong sat on the stool, his sister-in-law, grandma, and aunt had their own things to do, so he could only sit with his sleeves squeezed.

"Brother Dong, Limin is engaged on the second day of February, so you guys should come and have a look." The auntie said happily with her needle and thread in her hand.

Ye Liandong paused with his hands in his sleeves, and said with a smile: "Second Brother, did you like it?"

Du Jinhe smiled and clapped his palms: "That kid was in a rush, so I asked him to look at each other at the beginning of the year, and they saw each other right away."

Ye Rendong: "A girl from our village?"

Zhong Lingxiu knocked on the melon seeds and said, "No, it's a brother, and his family is from the town. However, his hometown is from Raoguan Town."

Ye Rendong's heart skipped a beat when he heard the name of the town.But thinking that I have nothing to do with that side, I still responded: "Then I will come and see it then."

Tan Chunliu beamed with joy: "That's right, I'll see you all."

In the village, after seeing each other, you can get engaged.

"At that time Limin fell in love with him as soon as he saw it." Du Jinhe said, she was a little emotional: "I found him for him, and we will be married and live together in the future, it's up to the two of them."

Zhong Lingxiu grabbed the melon seeds and handed them to Ye Liandong.Jokingly said: "The days of our grandma and grandma's happiness are in the future."

The Cheng family didn't care too much about picking up a daughter-in-law, whether it was a brother or a sister, as long as she was a good, caring one, and the boy liked it.None of the Cheng family would object.

Thinking of that brother's appearance, Tan Chunliu also interjected, "He looks cute, but there are seven or eight brothers and sisters in the family, and he is the middle one."

"Brother is capable, he can take care of everything inside and out. The most important thing is that he can restrain Li Min's impatient temper."

Ye Liandong peeled the melon seeds with her hands and piled them on the side.I thought to myself, looking at this, he is a soft-tempered brother.

From Cheng Limin to Cheng Lijun, the daughters-in-law talked about going to the town to teach, and then they talked about Cheng Lishen of Cheng Erbo's family, and it was time to get engaged.

Going around is the business of these children.

Not long after, a pig cry came from outside.

Ye Liandong greeted them out again.

"Sanggong." Ye Rendong's smile widened, and he went straight to the man.

Zhong Lingxiu and the others were interesting to watch.Brother Dong is really clingy.

"Let's go, let's go back." Cheng Langyu held his brother's hand.

"Where to go, let's go after eating." Du Jinhe followed.

"Auntie, there is still something to do at home, come back another day." Cheng Langyu walked in front and called Cheng Limin to carry the pig.

Ye Rendong called the two children to follow.

Cheng Yuanxiao chased after him. "Uncle Dongdong!"

Ye Rendong smiled and waved at him: "Yuanxiao, come and play next time."

The little guy was lying by the door, watching the person walk away.Zhong Lingxiu picked up her little cub: "If you want to play, mother will just take you there."

Wrapping around Zhong Lingxiu's neck like a lotus root festival in Lantern Festival, she leaned closer: "Mother, you keep your word."

"Okay, just learn from your father and keep your word!"

Two men carried the pig to the back.

Along the way, Cheng Limin kept blah blah. "Brother Ayu, I'm going to marry my husband too."

"My husband is very good-looking, with big eyes reaching to my shoulders," he gestured to his shoulders as he spoke, "It's a small one, and it's soft to hold."

Cheng Langyu doubted: "Have you hugged?"

Cheng Limin chuckled: "No! I thought of it."

Cheng Langyu rolled his eyes: "My husband is the prettiest."

Cheng Limin was not convinced: "I didn't compare with you, but my husband is the prettiest!"

Ye Rendong took the two children to the front, and for some reason, the two brothers behind started arguing.

Sure enough, in front of her close brother, even Ayu would occasionally show some childishness.

Ye Liandong arrived home first.

If the pig is put into the pigsty, the rabbits inside have to be cleaned out.

On the way, Ye Liandong discussed with the two little ones that they would be kept in the basket first, and when they had free time, they would go to the mountain to cut some bamboo to weave a bigger cage.

Ye Liandong found a big basket, stuffed it with grass and carried it to the back.

Cheng Bao'er had already picked up the rabbit's ears, waiting for Ye Liandong to come over.

The big rabbit weighed five or six catties, while the little rabbits below had sparse fur and looked no bigger than two fingers.

"Bao'er, put it in." Ye Liandong put the basket on the ground.

Cheng Baoer stood on tiptoe, opened his hands lightly, and put the rabbit into the basket.

"Sister-in-law, don't jump out." Saying that, she climbed into the pigsty again.

"Don't fall." Ye Rendong said.

"It's okay, sister-in-law, I'm very good." Cheng Baoer handed over the little rabbit, Cheng Shao caught it and stuffed it into the back basket.

Ye Liandong took the opportunity to count, there were eight of them.

Ye Liandong carried the basket to the corner, and left the rest to the man.

With long arms and legs, Cheng Langyu stepped into the pigsty and cleaned out the debris with a broom and shovel.

Cheng Limin stared at the back basket with hot eyes: "This rabbit is so fat, it can eat a few catties of meat if it is killed."

Cheng Baoer stood in front of the basket, pouted: "No."

"I'm teasing you." Cheng Limin patted her forehead with a palm like a fan.

Cheng Bao'er couldn't stand steadily, and was made crooked by Cheng Limin.

Cheng Langyu: "Hand the pig in."

Cheng Limin looked at the pigsty, wondering what was going on in his head.He got into the bamboo cage and picked up the piggy.

In an instant, a pig's cry resounded through the air, causing the ears to tremble.

I saw Black Piggy struggling on all fours, like he was drunk and crazy, his feet were thumping on their own.

Cheng Limin felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and held him tightly to keep him from moving. "Don't move, be careful I eat you!"

"Try again! Try!" Cheng Limin squeezed the pig's mouth.Human words can't communicate, so he simply howled like a pig.

Cheng Langyu's mouth was tight, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Ye Liandong paused the hand that was going to help lift the cage, feeling a bit embarrassed.The second brother is indeed a bit like what Xianggong said, occasionally lacking a muscle.

Cheng Langyu reluctantly took Piggy from his hand and put him in the pigsty, then went out with the help of the pigsty.

Tsk, I have to change my body again.

Cheng Limin took a step back to get out of the way, and the soles of his feet suddenly felt soft.He looked down and jumped straight to his feet.

"Huh~"

Cheng Shao and Cheng Baoer stayed away one after another, pinching their noses in disgust.Follow him: "Hey..."

"Little brat, how dare you laugh at your brother!" Cheng Limin jumped up and down to arrest him.

Cheng Langyu hurriedly took his second brother by the back and said, "Let's go, second brother will teach me to fight pigweed."

Cheng Limin changed his face in an instant, and grabbed Cheng Langyu's shoulder with his backhand: "It's not easy, let me make you two backpacks."

Cheng Langyu pushed him away: "Wipe your feet clean first."

"Ah, oh." Cheng Limin laughed.

Ye Liandong shook his head, and began to tidy up the things on the ground.

I don't know what the second sister-in-law will think in the future.
