Hi.Hearing the voice, Ah Xi put the firewood in his hand into the stove, patted his clothes and greeted him: Sister-in-law and sister-in-law are here.Wu Yonglan said: There were still some meat dishes left over from the flowing water table yesterday, and it couldn't be left for long on a high day, so I put it in the well so that it didn't change its taste, so I brought some to the two of you.A clay bowl as big as the palm of the hand was brought out, and a large piece of pork with strong oil and juice made Ah Xi a little greedy.These are all good things, there are not many farmers who can eat meat, if it is not for the New Year's holiday, most people are reluctant to eat, and the days when they can't eat meat can only look at which family in the village will do some red and happy events and get a little meat.The villagers will eat a lot of running water banquets for this purpose, and there will be almost no leftover meat dishes, such as this clean and large piece of meat, let alone think about it.Ah Xi guessed that this bowl of meat should have been specially left by Wu Yonglan for Yang Ye to eat.He took the meat bowl with both hands: Xie, thank you, sister-in-law.Wu Yonglan didn't answer, and immediately brought a basket of eggs in front of Ah Xi: This was given by the villagers, take it to eat, and the second brother is studying and wants to replenish his body.Ah Xi knows that since the eldest brother of the Yang family got married, the two brothers have split up, but this family has not been clearly distinguished, unlike other families who have divided the land and money clearly, and the Yang family just does not live together, and Yang Ye's life still depends on the eldest brother and sister-in-law.Yesterday, he and Yang Ye got married, and the flowing water seats were all placed on Brother Yang's side, and the money for the marriage was from the eldest brother, and the gift money received should naturally belong to the eldest brother, Ah Xi has no gossip to say.Even if he knows the situation of the Yang family, but there must be more than forty eggs in such a basket, I am afraid that it will be sent by two families, where is he embarrassed to take it: eldest sister-in-law, he can't help it.What's polite, this is what his eldest brother meant, if you don't accept it, his eldest brother should shout again.Wu Yonglan has a different taste in her heart, in the past, Yang Ye should have taken it for granted, not to mention resignation, even a thank you word is rarely heard, now there are more people in this family, and she is much more comfortable to say some kind words.are all married as wives and husbands, Wu Yonglan has never looked down on the little brother, looking at this Ah Xi's birth and water, and his speech is gentle and soft, but it is indeed as pleasing as the name.Although it is a small stammer, but the village is much stronger than those articulate, sharp-toothed female babies, this marriage is mostly facilitated by her, and now she can get by, she is also relieved in her heart, and the seven taels of dowry are not in vain.She took Ah Xi's hand and asked in a low voice: Is the second brother treating you well?
Before getting married and after getting married is just a day apart, even though Ah Xi is young and simple-minded, he has not experienced that experience, but he still heard what she meant from Wu Yonglan's tone, and he didn't know whether to say it for a while or not.Wu Yonglan saw the young man's difficulties at a glance, she knew it in her heart, she was not discouraged, and comforted Ah Xi: Don't get in the way, the second brother is young and ignorant, and when you follow him for a long time, he is used to having you in everything, and his heart is towards you.Since listening to such words last night, Ah Xi's heart has been cold, he thought about it all night, knowing that this relationship is hopeless, but someone comforted him with a few words, and his heart is still a lot better, no one has told him these emotional things, which makes him at a loss a little sporadically.Okay, I'll go back first, the sun is good this year, the wheat is still drying after cutting, and the soybeans are ripe again in a blink of an eye, Dalang has already gone out, and I have to go quickly.She looked at the sky and sighed: The things in the field are really busy.I, I'll come to help my sister-in-law harvest beans after I've eaten.Wu Yonglan immediately laughed: This is still the first day that you and your second brother have married, so you are not in a hurry to go to the ground.No, it's okay, I'll only disturb my husband's reading at home.Rural people marry, the second day of the newcomer to the mother-in-law tea custom to follow the people are not many, the little brother to marry even less pay attention to these, the country people feel that it is better to go through these than to do more than half a day of solid work.Wu Yonglan naturally didn't mention this matter, and now Ah Xi took the initiative to say that she wanted to help go to the ground, and she had one more pair of hands to help with things, of course she was happy, and after a few polite words with Ah Xi, she went back with a smile.As soon as the person left, Ah Xi was about to go back to the stove room to light the fire, when he saw Yang Ye coming out of the house slowly, without a little sleepy eyes, as if he had been up for a while, his heart was tight, he was afraid that Yang Ye had heard the husband, and quickly wanted to say something else to cover up: Sister-in-law, I've been here, send something, eat, eat.I was nervous, but I couldn't understand what I could say.Before Yang Ye could speak, he saw the young man grabbing the corner of his clothes, his eyes dodging, and he went to pick up breakfast in a panic, and tripped over the threshold when he entered the stove room.He did hear what he said, and he was still worried about whether what he said yesterday was not clear enough, but seeing that Ah Xi seemed to have made some big mistake, he couldn't mention any more blame, thinking that the words were said to the young man's heart, otherwise he wouldn't have dodged when he saw him.On the small wooden table in the square, there is a pot of gruel with more soup and less rice, a stack of pickles, and a bowl of fatty meat.Yang Ye sat down above, and saw that Ah Xi had naturally placed the bowl of meat towards the position above him, and filled him with a full bowl of porridge, while the young man himself only added half a bowl, not so much porridge as half a bowl of rice soup.After he began to move his chopsticks, the young man picked up the rice bowl and ate the pickles in small bites.The pickles at home or Sister-in-law Yang brought meat over and took some by the way, otherwise there was really nothing here, I didn't know what to eat this morning, and when he was empty, he was ready to make some by himself, pickles are a must-have vegetable for every household.When he ate half a bowl of porridge, he secretly glanced at Yang Ye's chopsticks, but he didn't even stretch them into the meat bowl, the good bowl of meat was exactly the same as when it was brought just now, he couldn't help but look at it twice, and when he retracted his gaze, he collided with Yang Ye's inquiring eyes.At that moment, as if he had lost his strength, he hurriedly lowered his head in embarrassment and picked up the rice.Yang Ye was not interested in the bowl of fatty meat, he knew that maybe he would like it after staying here for a long time, but at least for now, he was insensitive, and the porridge and side dishes were more of his appetite.Seeing that the young man stared at the meat for a long time, he obviously wanted to eat it, but the chopsticks didn't move once, he looked at some unknown irritability, and inadvertently pushed the bowl to the middle of the table: I don't like to eat fatty meat, you can eat it.Ah Xi was so surprised that he lost his mind, the apricot eyes were even bigger, and it was just a few blinks of an eye, he lowered his eyes, embarrassed to look directly at Yang Ye, his face was a thin red, and he bit his chopsticks embarrassedly after being dismantled, and didn't move.However, Yang Ye's eyebrows moved slightly, and he secretly sighed that his face was so thin, and he broke it without poking it.He shook his head: How old are you, and you still bite chopsticks.Ah Xi hurriedly took the chopsticks off his mouth, his face turned even redder, but he replied solemnly: Next month, it will be fifteen.Yang Ye frowned, isn't this still a child!
There was always something wrong in his heart, and this feeling was more than the discomfort of disgust with marriage.At the age of fifteen, teenagers of this age are either still ignorant or have entered a rebellious period, but they are undoubtedly the treasures of the family and are coaxed to take care of them.But at this age, Ah Xi has already married into another family, is a husband, looks at people's faces and lives, and tastes the pain of life early.Yang Ye never thought that his body was actually not yet at the age of a weak crown, but it was only past the age of eighteen.Just focused on the age of the person in front of him, he picked up the chopsticks and put three pieces of meat into the young man's bowl, and said softly: Eat.Ah Xi looked at the meat in the bowl, he was really greedy, the last time he ate meat seemed to be two months ago, although he was married yesterday, but he couldn't eat a mouthful of food, he was hungry at night, and he wanted to eat it when he saw the meat this morning.He tried his best to hide it, but he was still seen through, which was really embarrassing.Yang Ye got up and got off the table after giving him the food, Ah Xi took a sneak look, saw that the person entered another room, hesitated a few times, and then moved the chopsticks to eat the meat in the bowl.But I ate the three pieces of meat, and I didn't eat the extra one.The three pieces of meat filled his long-lacked stomach and increased his strength.He quickly put away the dishes and chopsticks, put the remaining meat into the mountain well behind the house, carried the back basket and sickle at home, and hurriedly ran to the ground before Yang Ye came out.Yang Ye went to the thatched house, and when he came back, he saw that Ah Xi, who was wearing brown short clothes and blue cloth trousers, had already gone far away, and became a distant shadow on the winding countryside road.Chapter 3 Yang Ye remembered that the original owner also had an acre of land, but the eldest brother was helping him manage it, helping to plant and harvest it every year, and then taking the crops in the field for money, and the money saved was used to buy reading utensils for the original owner.This eldest brother, in terms of Yang Ye, also treats the original owner quite well, and before Ah Xi entered the door, even his meals were sent by the eldest brother's family.Now that he occupies the body of the original owner, he has to live by this identity, he has no intention of living according to the trajectory of the original owner, he will live according to his own wishes, and it is absolutely impossible to be a person who can reach out for food and open his mouth.At this time, many villagers in the bean field of Changla are already busy.Wu Yonglan was leaning over and cutting soybeans in Yang Ye's field, waving his hands and feet one after the other, which ordinary people can't compare.She is also confident that she has such a handiwork, her mother's family is in the tofu business, and the recipe for making money is only passed on to the men in the family, not to the women, she does not have the tofu skills, but the technique of cutting beans is fine.The work in the field is laborious and boring, and the ladies envy Wu Yonglan's skill in cutting beans, and in the past, they could only praise Yang Ye's scholar Han Yonglan and Wu Yonglan's pastime.Wu Yonglan didn't say anything on her face, and cried to the man a few times after she went back, Yang Cheng was about to scold when she saw these aunts and daughters-in-law talking about Yang Ye, men always speak with a bit of majesty, and the painless gossip between women is boring when it is inserted by men fiercely, and slowly everyone will not dare to use Yang Ye's affairs to entertain Wu Yonglan.But this day is different, the Yang family has entered a newcomer, and it is still a small stammerer that everyone in the village knows, everyone laughs in private, stammering with lazy talent, and the matchmaker is really good at talking about matchmaking.Isn't there a new way to talk about it?
If the flat bean field is not separated by mud, it is like a piece of land, and everyone's bean field is not far apart, today Yang Cheng went to the table and bench that he borrowed in the village to set up the flowing water mat, and if he was not in the field, a woman couldn't help but start quipping: Da Lang's family, why didn't you see the new husband come to the ground?
The sun is going to be on your ass in a while!
Someone helped: Aunt Liu, aren't you playing dumb riddles, you know that people are new husbands, and what do you say you can do if you haven't gone to the ground in the sun.These young people are really embarrassing.Eight out of ten in Zao Village knew that Yang Ye was a girl from the landlord's family, Mei Xiaozhi, and the people who went to eat the flowing water banquet yesterday said that they saw Yang Ye drinking crookedly, not to mention how sad it was.Now like an uninformed person, the two are in love, and they just want to see jokes, Wu Yonglan already knew that these long tongues would make a mistake about this marriage, and she was a little prepared in her heart.She sipped the beans: the aunts have to pay attention to some proportions when they speak, there are men and women in the field, girls and little brothers who are not married.Look at Dalang's family, it's serious, isn't my aunt joking.Besides, it's for your own good to say a few more words, the eldest man went early, this new husband has no mother-in-law to teach the rules, you are used to him, and you can still listen to your sister-in-law in the future.The person who spoke was Wu Yonglan's door, relying on herself to be a daughter-in-law with others for a few years, and often preached to Wu Yonglan.Wu Yonglan knew that this neighbor couldn't get used to her man's obedience to her and him, and there was no mother-in-law to take care of her, but she was often called by her mother-in-law and scolded by her husband.She was about to say a few words back to the mother-in-law, when she heard a stammering voice coming from the path behind her: Sister-in-law, sister-in-law.Ah Xi came at the right time, the gossiping village women closed their mouths, Ah Xi was coming she knew, to her great surprise that the second brother who had never been on the ground also came.For a while, only the sound of cicadas could be heard in the ground, and all the eyes from far and near fell on Yang Ye's two sons, and they bit their ears two sentences from close to each other.Wu Yonglan straightened her waist and pole: Why is the second brother here?
Your own land, you should come.Ah Xi smiled helplessly at Wu Yonglan, he was stopped by Yang Ye halfway away, and his surprise when he heard that he was also coming to the ground was no less than Wu Yonglan.The villagers were surprised for a while, and wanted to say a few words to Yang Ye, but the scholar's eyes were above the top on weekdays, where to talk to the village women, I was afraid that it would be boring not to ask for it, and everyone would be busy with the work at hand when they had seen enough.The sun in July is so high that the sun doesn't seem to hang over the sky, but it looks like it hangs directly above people's heads.After only half an hour's effort, Yang Ye felt that his back was drenched in sweat, his clothes were glued to his vest, and the scholar did not work all year round, and his body was very empty, and he felt a little shaky after holding his back for a long time.Not only that, but there are a lot of fine hairs on the branches, leaves, and pods of soybeans, which are very uncomfortable to prick in the palm of your hand, and the beans will itch all over your body after cutting them for a while.He put down a handful of beans cut by the branches, rubbed the fluff in the palm of his hand, the fine hair did not rub off, but the palm of his hand turned red, and when he was thinking about how to prevent the fluff from piercing into the palm of his hand, he noticed that there seemed to be a gaze on the left side.As soon as he looked up, he saw Ah Xi, who had been silently cutting wheat, looking at him, looking at his hand to be precise.Ah Xi's hands and feet are very fast, and the sweat-soaked hair on his forehead is enough to see how hard he works, whether it is the original body or the current Yang Ye, in fact, he has never done the work of cutting beans, but he has never eaten pork, but he has never seen a pig run, and it is easy to get started by seeing how the villagers cut beans.Although it is quick to get started, it is not as good as Ma Li, who has been doing these jobs for a long time, even so, Yang Ye still doesn't want to be worse than Ah Xi, who is several years younger than him.He put away his hand, regardless of the feeling of his palm, bent down and continued to cut beans, in a trance, he seemed to see Ah Xi's long eyebrows move slightly, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something to him, at this moment, there was a muffled bang, and the sister-in-law of the Yang family suddenly fell into the bean field.Sister-in-law!
Ah Xi exhaled in surprise, hurriedly put down the sickle in his hand, withdrew his gaze from Yang Ye, and ran towards the woman who fell in front of him.Yang Ye went over to help Ah Xi help people up, and the villagers heard the sound and quickly gathered around.What is this, how, what's going on?
Maybe it's heat stroke.The sun is too high, like in a steamer, the air breathed in is like being roasted, the work sweats profusely, the salt is lost, the hands and feet are weak, and people can easily faint.Yang Ye guessed so.Gotta send people back first.Yang Ye stretched out his hand to carry someone, but Ah Xi took a step ahead of him and pulled Wu Yonglan on his back: I, I'll come.He was stunned, was he afraid that he wouldn't even be able to carry a woman?
Ah Xi booed: Men and women don't kiss, and the little brother-in-law and sister-in-law will also cause gossip.The words fluttered into Yang Ye's ears and swept lightly like a feather.Yang Ye coughed dryly, I want to say Aren't you also a boy, but after thinking about it, follow the customs of the locals, the little brother is different from men.But in the blink of an eye, he saw Wu Yonglan's thin body on his back, and his legs swayed before heading home.Although Wu Yonglan said that she was a woman, she had a large skeleton and looked like she was not small, pressing on Ah Xi's body, and the young man was bent over like a mature sorghum, but there was no heavy emotion on the young man's face, as if he had long been accustomed to carrying heavy objects that were greater than his physical strength.Yang Ye frowned and followed.The villagers looked at the family who had gone away, and suddenly exploded the pot, and there were many people who fainted from heat stroke on the days of harvesting crops at the end of summer every year, not to mention women, and sometimes men had to fall down when they were overwhelmed by the work, and this situation was not strange in the village.However, someone still chattered a few sentences: Aunt Liu, Wu Yonglan is afraid that she is not angry with your words?
