The family was happy, a meal lasted for a long time, until the sky was dark before the chopsticks were put down, a large pot of fish also saw the bottom, only some soup and sauerkraut remained, the fish was completely wiped out.Yang Da and his family were embarrassed, after all, it was the first time they were invited by Yang Ye to eat, and they ate so much, and there was a cool breeze blowing in the courtyard, which felt more satisfying than going to the restaurant.The two brothers, Yang Cheng and Yang Ye, sat in the courtyard and chatted a few words, and Ah Xi and Wu Yonglan packed up the dishes and chopsticks and took them to the stove room.I got a job in the county, it's not bad, and my eldest brother doesn't have to worry about my affairs in the future, take good care of my sister-in-law.Yang Cheng took a deep look at the person sitting next to him, and felt very strange overnight, but looking at that face, it was very familiar, the changes in these days made Yang Cheng not know where to start, it seemed that he had to say too much, but he didn't know what to say.He patted Yang Ye on the shoulder: Ah Ye, you have reassured the eldest brother a lot.Yang Ye didn't speak, only touched his fist with Yang Cheng, and the two laughed at the same time.The sunset is getting darker and darker, and the villagers who are busy in the fields are also carrying hoes and walking home barefoot.Aunt Liu, who went out before, was carrying a large basket of vegetables and some wild boar grass to her home, and happened to pass by outside Yang Ye's house.She hadn't had a meaty nose for a long time and keenly smelled the smell of fish hovering in the yard, Aunt Liu stopped and sniffed outside for a while, and she swallowed one bite after another, and she really couldn't figure out what good things she had eaten.Just as she was stretching her neck to look inside, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, and Wu Yonglan and Yang Cheng came out of the courtyard and almost touched her nose.Yo, isn't this Aunt Liu?
That's the work, huh?
Wu Yonglan knew that this mother-in-law smelled the fragrance of the yard outside, and it was like this, she was a little proud, even if the rest of the people in the village had fish and materials, they might not have Yang Ye's craftsmanship.Aunt Liu replied: Yes.There is a lot of work at home, and it is not as idle as you.Yang Cheng didn't like to listen to the conversation between women the most, nodded and greeted Aunt Liu, and walked ahead first.Wu Yonglan followed Aunt Liu unhurriedly, and the two talked about it without a match.Our second brother called us over to eat fish today, which is true, but he gave them two handfuls of sauerkraut, and insisted that we eat together, thinking about us if there is anything good.No wonder, I said what it smells so good, what a blessing.Aunt Liu'er is yin and yang, she also said that Ah Xi went to ask Liu Changhua for kimchi, but it turned out that people were making fish to eat, not to mention smelling it, just listening to it was gluttonous.Listening to those sour words, Wu Yonglan, who is often talked about by this mother-in-law, is in a good mood.Chapter 10: Ah Xi coughed several times.Yang Ye was taking a shower in the clean room, and when he came out, he saw that the young man coughed and blushed, and there were tears in his apricot eyes.What's wrong?
Seeing the scholar who came out at some point, Ah Xi hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, and his eyes were slightly panicked.Yang Ye was amused by his actions: coughing so badly, is it uncomfortable?
Let go of my hand and I'll see what's wrong.Ah Xi let go of his hand in response, and lowered his eyes embarrassedly: I, I was stuck by a fish bone.It hurts to speak.Yang Ye was a little helpless, he was really a child, he still had to be stuck when he ate fish, he said: Open your mouth, I will see if I can see the fish bones.Ah Xi then covered his mouth again and shook his head.Be obedient, and you won't be able to eat until you take it out.Persuaded, taking advantage of the weak will, he slowly pulled away the young man's weak wrist, let him tilt his head and open his mouth, the oil lamp was a little dim, but this did not prevent Yang Ye from seeing the young man's ruddy lips and teeth as white as ivory.Ah Xi didn't dare to look directly into his eyes, slanted his eyes to look away, a face was almost cooked, but his face was coughing red just now, Yang Ye didn't see it much.It's a small thorn, are you eating a small fish?
Hearing that he had seen it, Ah Xi breathed a sigh of relief, quickly closed his mouth, bit his lower lip and nodded.Yang Ye poured a large glass of warm water and asked him to drink some, then bent over and coughed, increasing the pressure to see if he could cough out the thorns.The boy hunched his back, and he patted him on the back, and after a few strokes, he really coughed out.Yang Ye chuckled: If you are like this, I won't dare to give you fish next time.Ah Xi took warm water down his throat, and when he heard this, he quickly removed the cup: Don't!
Yang Ye smiled even more, he raised his hand and touched the young man's hair, Ah Xi used a moon-white hairband to tie his hair into a bun, and his hair was neatly combed.In fact, men don't comb their hair until they are fifteen years old, and Ah Xi is not old enough to comb his hair in a bun, but he is already married, so he combed his hair first.Yang Ye saw that the brothers in the village who had not yet reached the age of fifteen and had not yet married were still wearing two hair knots, like sheep's horns, looking very immature.After Ah Xi tied her hair in a bun, she looked older and showed her figure more.The jet-black hair was as soft as silk, and Yang Ye couldn't put it down, but when this thought just came to his mind, he quickly withdrew his hand: Wash up and rest early.Well.Ah Xi responded obediently, Ming'er Yang Ye has to get up early to go to work in the county, he also has to get up early to cook, and when he cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks today, he also mentioned that he wanted to help Yang Cheng harvest beans.However, after Yang Ye left, he returned to the room, felt that it was hot tonight, and raised his hand to stroke the hair that Yang Ye had touched like a thief, and his face became even hotter.Ah Xi knew that it was wrong for him to have such a mind, and Yang Ye made it clear to him, but he just didn't fight.The days are as calm as flowing water, Yang Ye's days after going to work are much more fulfilling than before, but every day he gets up at dawn, eats and packs up before walking to the county seat, and walks back after work, the trip in the morning is okay, the air is clear and cool, and the trip at night is a little hot, after four or five days, in terms of perseverance, Yang Ye didn't feel anything, but this body that has not suffered is not good, and it is very tired.Yang Ye thought about waiting for the ox cart, but it was two cents a day, which was not much, but the food at home was empty, and he used all the surplus money he could find to buy food.Ah Xi was careful, and saw that Yang Ye was not feeling well, and he didn't say anything to hurt the scholar's self-esteem, so he went up the mountain to pick some herbs, and soaked Yang Ye's feet after cooking at night, which could relieve some fatigue.Of course, this is also a palliative rather than a cure.After thinking about it, he found the needle and thread, and secretly lit the lamp at night and began to do the needlework.On the second day, after Yang Ye went to work as usual, Ah Xi carried a small basket to the village and entered Master Zhou's house in the village.Master Zhou is the master of the cattle cart in the village, he has been driving for more than 20 years, he is also practical and reliable, and his reputation in the village is not bad.Two days ago, Ah Xi heard Wu Yonglan say that Master Zhou's daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy, and Master Zhou's family was overjoyed.Master Zhou's daughter-in-law is also a little brother, her mother's house is in the direction of his aunt's house, although he is a few years older, but the two have also made an appointment to go to the river to wash clothes together, although the relationship is not close, but it has also passed.He wanted to go to see Brother Ying to see if he could ask Master Zhou to take Yang Ye for a ride when there were few people.Originally, there were few confinements in the peasant family, but Brother Ying gave birth to a son who was a great hero of the family, and the family did not let him do work for the past two days.Ah Xi saw the delicate little doll very much, and couldn't help but gently hugged it, the little doll spit out a saliva bubble, Ah Xi bent his eyebrows: The child is really, really cute.Brother Ying saw that he really liked children, and he was also happy in his heart: I heard that you married into the Yang family, but I had a big belly during that time, and I didn't come out to talk to you.Now that the child has been born, our two families are not far away, and we can go to the laundry together again.Ying Ge'er laughed, he wasn't married when he washed clothes with Ah Xi, but he thought about those days.Ah Xi teased the child for a while, lifted the basket in front of him, uncovered the rough cloth covering his head, and exposed two beautiful red belly pockets, he took them out and gave them to Brother Ying: This, this is what I made, for the child to wear.Ah, such a beautiful belly pocket!
Brother Ying carefully touched the pattern embroidered in the middle of the belly pocket, the needlework was very precise, and he was reluctant to put it down when he touched it.He was a rough brother, he used to do some rough work in his mother's house, and his sisters learned the delicate work of needlework, but he didn't think anything at the time, but now he knows the importance of this job after he has a child.The mother-in-law is old and can't do these eye-hurting jobs anymore, and she is worried that the child has no belly pockets, so Ah Xi sent two beautiful belly pockets, and he likes it very much.Ahi, your hands are so skillful.Brother Ying touched the warm blessing word, and he didn't know what it was for a long time.Ah Xi smiled: I embroidered a blessing word, I hope that the child will be more blessed.This means well, I didn't expect you to be literate.There are many people in the village who can't read words, and Brother Ying didn't feel ashamed, and quipped: Did Yang Tongsheng teach you?
Ah Xi only smiled and didn't answer, and Brother Ying didn't ask much when he was embarrassed.There is a saying in the village that there is a blessing, the childless girl brother hugging the newborn child will attract the child's fate, Brother Ying'er is also active, even if Ah Xi has no children, he and Yang Ye have only been married for a short time, there is no need to be anxious, and even if the sister-in-law is anxious, there is no need to bring the embroiderer's belly pocket to touch his joy, there must be something to come.Axi, the two of us are also very familiar with each other, if you have anything, just tell me, I can help if I can.In fact, Ah Xi was embarrassed to ask Brother Ying with that thin relationship, but he didn't put up with Yang Ye's hard work every day, seeing that Brother Ying spoke first, he said: Yang Ye is looking for something to do in the county, and he comes and goes every day, I'm afraid that his body will not be able to bear it, and I see if Master Zhou can take a little time when he is tired?
Brother Ying understands Ah Xi very well, the body of a scholar is not like a man who works every day, it is normal for his strength to be poor, Ah Xi is not a troublesome matter, he said bluntly: In the afternoon, the ox carts that are generally rushed back are empty, and they can't pull a few people, but they are afraid that they can't do it in the morning.Ah Xi was already very happy: no, it would be nice to have him a little bit in the afternoon.Then I'll wait for my father-in-law to come back and talk to him.Brother Ying whispered: Don't worry, I just gave birth to a son, and my father-in-law will generally agree to this.Chapter 11 In the afternoon, when Yang Ye was about to get off work, Fengxianglou bought dozens of watermelons, and it was hot, and the diners in the restaurant always liked to order two watermelons to cool off.Another bookkeeper in the restaurant went to settle the money for the melon farmers who shipped the melons, and it was the transportation fee, and the melon money, and the discount or something, it sounded strange and troublesome, and I didn't know what went wrong halfway, and the account was not right.This miscalculation is to post the account yourself, two days ago I made a mistake in an account, the guest was angry, and apologized and apologized, and the last table of dishes of more than 300 Wen was the top of the bookkeeper, and now it is a mess.Now there are only two bookkeepers in the restaurant, which is considered two shifts, he wants to go back to the village, and the housekeeper arranges for him during the day, and the other bookkeeper has been with the restaurant for many years, and the restaurant provides a place to live, so naturally it is the accounts at night.During the day, when he was there, the accounts in the restaurant were calculated quickly, and the checkout for food and drinks was smooth, and at night, there was a queue in front of the counter, and the guests were indispensable to scolding and scolding.Yang Ye saw that the time was up, and he still kindly counted out a few tables of dishes in the restaurant, which was a convenient work for him, and when he packed up his things and was about to leave, the bookkeeper came to him panting and asked him to calculate the melon money.He didn't shirk, went out to help him settle the account, the two sides bit the account for a while, he rechecked it, and found that he only missed a little discount money, and after adding it, he reconciled the account.The bookkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, secretly lamenting that he was indeed inferior to young people in many cases.Yang Ye has helped him a lot in the past few days when he went to work, he thanked him again and again, and bought a watermelon for Yang Ye at his own expense, which should be thanked.Yang Ye didn't want it, they all came out to eat, it was not easy for everyone, taking care of one or two was a trivial matter, but Mr.
Accounts insisted on giving, saying that if he didn't accept it, he didn't want to help him in the future, Yang Ye couldn't help it, and there was no watermelon to eat in the village, so he accepted it.Carrying watermelons out of the city, nearly ten catties of big watermelons are strangely heavy, and they are sold for two cents and three catties in the county, which is still worth a few copper plates.Yang Ye crossed the city gate against the slanting sun, and a shout sounded behind him, and he looked back and saw that it was the oxcart master in the village.Is Yang Tongsheng returning to the village?
It's the last time to go back, no one, you come, I'll take you back.At noon, Master Zhou went back to eat, and his daughter-in-law had already told him about it, he walked on this official road back to the village all the year round, and he went back and forth for 20 years, Yang Ye did not go to the county seat much, and the two had little contact.The village is so big, he has heard more or less about Yang Ye, but he respects scholars, no matter how ugly the village says about Yang Ye, after all, the two of them have no holiday.The husband sewed a belly pocket for his eldest grandson, and he also saw it, and it was really good to see, the favor was accepted, and it was always polite to reciprocate.Yang Ye saw that there were only two middle-aged men waiting to ride around the oxcart master, but there were really not many, it was extremely hot today, and he was afraid that it would rain at night, his vest was soaked with sweat, and he could save a lot of foot strength by taking the oxcart back, which was a good thing.He used to help Master Zhou tie the rope of the cart to the cow, and the two chatted a few words, and Master Zhou heard that he was a bookkeeper in the county, and he admired a lot in his heart.Wait a minute, Zhang Glaze and Zhang Tongsheng also took my ox cart back, and he hasn't come here yet.No problem.After about a quarter of an hour, I really saw Zhang Glaze coming out of the city gate, and after Master Zhou greeted people, he hurriedly jumped on the head of the ox cart and let everyone get on the ox cart.Zhang Glaze sat opposite Yang Ye, feeling slightly embarrassed.He didn't expect to meet Yang Ye here today, he had introduced an errand to someone before, and he was waiting to see the joke, but he didn't hear anyone say it that day, and only later did he know that Yang Ye was hired, and he was full of anger when he was angry.I don't know what happened to Fengxianglou, it is clear that he doesn't look down on Tongsheng, this dynasty actually left Yang Ye behind, he didn't understand it after thinking about it, and vaguely felt that Yang Ye deliberately concealed his identity as a child.He thought that Yang Ye should not have seen through his tricks, after all, he had been given all errands, how could he see that he had other thoughts, so he greeted Yang Ye with a smile on his face.Master Zhou didn't know the twists and turns of the two, but he felt lucky today, and pulled two scholars: Zhang Tongsheng and Yang Tongsheng are doing things in the county, and the two children in our village are all promising.Zhang Glaze laughed at it in his heart, so he disdained to be used side by side with Yang Ye to talk about things.Yang Ye has lived more than ten years longer than Zhang Glaze, and he doesn't know what this young man thinks in his heart, so he seems to be smiling: My errand was introduced to me by Brother Zhang, and I haven't had time to thank Brother Zhang properly.Zhang Glaze saw that he was smiling but not reaching the bottom of his eyes, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart: Brother Yang is polite, I am just a recommendation or two, and it is Brother Yang who has the ability to stay.Yang Ye didn't speak again, but Zhang Glaze felt quite uncomfortable.The ox cart swayed for almost half an hour, but when it arrived at the entrance of the village, there were still large areas of sunset sprinkled in the past, but now it was dark and gloomy, and there was a faint tendency to get dark, and everyone knew that it was about to rain, and they were in a hurry to go home.When Yang Ye got off the ox cart, he saw a girl holding an umbrella standing at the entrance of the village, wearing a peach-colored embroidered skirt was very eye-catching, the village girls mostly wore brown skirts in order to work, and such brightly colored clothes were rarely worn by people except when they went out.
