Looking up at the stars in 1946

Chapter 27

Han Yan raised it in a small courtyard in Zhuhai County for half a month, and almost grew mushrooms because of the idle time.Qi Si finally sent a message, asking Xiaoyuan to take Han Yan back to the Qi family compound to help——

The sowing season of the Qijia Compound has arrived.

Han Yan honestly packed his things and followed Xiaoyuan back to the Qi family compound.On the way, he couldn't help asking Xiaoyuan Qisi when he would be back.Xiaoyuan just told him not to ask too many questions, and Fourth Master would come back naturally when he wanted to come back.

Han Yan was a little embarrassed by what he said, so he didn't ask any more questions.At the end, he asked Xiaoyuan if he could go home to see his parents and brothers.Xiaoyuan said that you can go back if you want, but you have to go back to the compound at night, and you have to go to work tomorrow.

Han Yan nodded, and went home with some body parts he had saved these days.

The family members were overjoyed to see him come back. A group of younger siblings surrounded him and called him brother. Han Yanniang was even more delighted and wanted to give him pancakes as soon as she turned around.

While comforting his siblings, Han Yan asked where his mother was going.Han Yanniang said that his father had gone to work early in the morning and would not be back for a while.

Han Yan asked his eldest brother Han Ye to take the other siblings out to play, while he and his mother went into the small kitchen.

Looking at Han Yan's rounded face, Han Yanniang felt a little worried, and asked, "Yanzi, haven't you done much work these days? You look fat."

Han Yan was a little uncomfortable when he was told, but he just said that he has been relatively free recently, but he will go to the field starting tomorrow.

Only then did Han Yanniang feel relieved, and said, "Yanzi! Years ago you told me that Fourth Master's boss is not bad, but this boss treats us well, and we can't be lazy and playful in this job..."

Han Yan hurriedly interrupted his mother's words: "Mom, I know! I'm that kind of person!" Han Yan said, feeling aggrieved and disappointed.It is undeniable that Han Yan was thinking about Qi Si.To be precise, Han Yan's body was thinking about Qi Si.But desires belong to desires, and life belongs to life. Han Yan never forgets that he is the eldest child in his family, he is the support of his parents, and also the support of the fourth brother and sister.

Han Yan wants to help his father support a family.This is one of the main purposes for him to work in the Qi family compound.It was like this in the past, but now, even though he was kidnapped by Qi Si and put on the kang, this purpose remains the same.

Han Yan handed his mother a small floral cloth bag.When Han Yan was very young, he knew to go to the grove to collect firewood, wild fruits and grape leaves to exchange for money.Han Yanniang was afraid that he would loose the money in exchange, so she specially sewed a small bag for him with a piece of cloth cut from old clothes.

Han Yanniang opened the small cloth bag, and there was a piece of silver lying in it.

Han Yanniang was taken aback, and quickly asked, "Yanzi! How did you get the money!"

Han Yan took out the silver dollar and put it in his mother's hand, saying: "Mother, this is a reward from my fourth master for a job well done... You take it, I think the elder brother is not young, you use this Money, send him to Tunli Primary School for a few years."

Han Yanniang asked: "This money is really given to you by Fourth Master Qi? Will Master Qi agree?" Master Qi is a well-known iron rooster in Yuanmao Village. It is really hard for Han Yan to get a silver dollar within two months after he went there. incredible.

Han Yan said: "I haven't seen Master Qi for half a year since I arrived in the Qi family compound. I always work with Fourth Master."

Han Yanniang listened to the joy, and said repeatedly: "This is good, this is good. We have lived in this village for more than ten years, and Master Qi is the worst in the Qi family compound, but Fourth Master is a good one. It’s really, really rare.”

The mother and son chatted for a while, and saw Han Ye poking his head at the door.Han Yan called him in.The two brothers hadn't seen each other for a month, and Han Ye sat down beside Han Yan affectionately.He is over twelve years old, and his face is three points similar to Han Yan's, but the sky is fuller and his appearance is more upright.

Han Ye asked: "Brother, are you on vacation?" Han Yan said: "No, I'm free today, so I came back to see you."

Han Ye was a little disappointed, and asked again: "Brother, how are you doing there?"

Han Yan smiled and said: "Didn't I tell you during the Chinese New Year? I am a hard worker, so I will not suffer if I work hard at my boss." At the end, he said: "I have already told my mother that in a few days Send you to Tunli Primary School to study, the tuition fee has been prepared for you, I can tell you, you have to study hard when you go, I will test you next time I come back!"

Han Ye couldn't react at first, and asked, "Brother! You, you really want me to go to school?"

Han Yan said with a smile: "Is this still fake? I have paid all the tuition fees to my mother."

Han Ye happily jumped three feet high, and said loudly: "Brother! Don't worry! I will definitely study hard, and I will show you the first place in the class!" Han Yanniang was a little at a loss, she didn't know about going to school Why did the son make the second son so happy, he just echoed: "Okay, okay, look at your bluff, hurry up and bring some Ula grass to mother, mother will light the fire and make pancakes for your brother."

Han Ye quickly agreed.Seeing his younger brother's cheerful appearance, Han Yan's depression was swept away.I secretly told myself that I should be more diligent and careful, do the work well, and let my family live a good life.

Han Yan only saw Qi Si after the Ching Ming Festival.At that time, he was working in the field with several laborers.Yuanmaotun in April is sunny and sunny.Hundreds of acres of big fireworks, like a sea of ​​flames, look extremely gorgeous against the blue jade sky.

Han Yan looked at the sea of ​​flowers in a daze for a while, and when he turned around, he saw Lao Li walking over with a few people from a distance.His eyes were sharp, and he found Qi Si standing in the middle of the group of people.Wearing the usual robes and mandarin jacket, with hands clasped.There was a bright sun on his head, the sunlight was too dazzling, Han Yan looked at it for a while and then lowered his head.

Han Yan bowed his waist, squeezed a handful of sand, and picked the leaves of a big firework.He had been working all morning, and sweat was already dripping from his forehead.Now even the palms are sweating.

Han Yan was far away and couldn't hear the voices of the group of people talking. He only saw Qi pointing his fingers, as if he was introducing to the group of people around him.

Han Yan couldn't help raising his head to look at him frequently, and the two inevitably met each other's eyes.Han Yan was a little surprised, but he didn't bow his head.Qi Si suddenly saw Han Yan, and his eyes obviously stopped for a while, but he didn't stay for long, and soon looked away.

Han Yan couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, so he had to work hard with his head down.

After a while, Qi Si led the group of people away in a mighty manner.Han Yan didn't know it yet, but he heard a long-time worker beside him who was familiar with him whisper: "Tsk tsk, this is really impressive." Only then did he realize that Qi Si had already left.

When Qi Si was not in the Qi family compound, Han Yan usually lived with the long-term workers of the Kanghuo.Last year, he followed Lao Li and secretly waited on the few acres of smoke, and he didn't dare to let others know.In addition, there were many servants in the Qi family compound, so Han Yan simply slept in a room by himself, and only showed his face when eating, chatting with the other long-term workers.Seeing him going in and out with Lao Li every day, the other long-term workers didn't say anything, but they were also wary of him in their hearts.

But this year things are different.Qi Si pushed hundreds of acres of land that were supposed to be planted with buds to grow opium. This matter itself cannot be concealed. In addition, after the beginning of spring, there were many long-term workers in the Qi family compound. Han Yan looked up and down with them every day. See, they are all poor people, and they got to know each other not long ago, and they all call each other brothers.Han Yan is young and has a sweet mouth and loves to smile. Everyone affectionately calls him "Yanzi".

Han Yan also took an opportunity to explain to those old long-term workers the reason why he followed Lao Li in and out years ago, and relieved their knots.Those old long-term workers knew that Han Yan was sincere after being with Han Yan for a long time, so they put down their guards.Maizi is five years older than Han Yan, and has been working as a long-term worker in the Qijia compound for three years.He usually has long ears, so he has heard a lot of secrets about the Qi family compound.He also has a big mouth, and when he has nothing to do, he tells the gossip he hears as stories in the long-term workers.

"Master Banner... tsk tsk, the root under him is missed! Now he eats fast and chant Buddha every day in the house, he is even more monk than a monk!"

"Do you know the backyard? There is a yard, where Mr. Qi's wife lives...why live alone? It's a long story! Speaking of which, 20 years ago..."

"Why is Qi Siye called Qi Siye? It's not easy! Because he has three older brothers. The boss of Qi, that is, Qi Yishan, everyone knows it, at least it's this..." Maizi compared while talking Thumbs up, "During the first lunar month, everyone saw it, two iron shells! Tsk tsk! That thing can only be afforded by the county magistrate. Look, one person can have two... Qi Er didn't say it, it's been a long time ago If he died young, then Qisan is a sick child..."

"Also, let me tell you, the fourth master of Qi is not a simple one! I heard that he likes to play with men... Haha! Don't believe me, the fourth master may fall in love with you anytime soon!"

All the long-term workers around laughed.It's just that when others laugh, it's like a gust of wind, but to Han Yan, it's like a thunderbolt, blowing a hole in his heart.For a while, Han Yan's heart fluctuated from hot to cold, ups and downs, and his whole body was in a state of panic, and the little flesh he had managed to raise lost weight again.

Later, it was Madoka who enlightened him.Xiaoyuan said: "What are you afraid of? Not to mention the entire Qi Family compound, even the entire Yuanmao Village, as long as it is what Si Ye thinks, wants, and does, who would dare to say no?" Yes, and said: "You don't have to take it to heart, and you didn't do it voluntarily. It's always the fourth master who is at fault, not you. It's the same result if it's someone else. "

This made Han Yan feel better, but his miss for Qi Si faded away.Speaking of which, the longing is also soft. Han Yan is young and has just tasted lust, so of course he is a little addicted.But his life is busy after all, and he has little time to sneak away, so the desire gradually floats and sinks like catkins in spring, and disappears after the season is over.

It's a pity that to Han Yan, desire is like catkins, but to Qi Si it's a weed, so when they met each other in the morning, the fire on his body rushed upwards.

It's like a wildfire that burns endlessly, and it's born again when the spring breeze blows.
