reborn as a brother

Chapter 14

After harvesting the rice, he got up without needing to polish it. Yesterday he was busy working, and his little body, which had been so hard to support, was a bit miserable.

Before going to bed at night, in order not to feel too sad the next day, he quietly drank two sips of spiritual spring water.

When I woke up in the morning, it was almost [-] o'clock, and the sun was completely exposed in the sky.

"Good morning, idiot." Ji Anyi showed a big smile to the idiot next to him.

This kid looks really energetic, he really is an authentic peasant boy, which is fundamentally different from his half-way.

"Good morning, daughter-in-law." Seeing his daughter-in-law woke up, Wang Xiaoer smiled even more cheerfully, and his eyes twinkled brightly.

Get dressed and make your bed.Ji Anyi pulled Wang Xiaoer out of the house, and looked at the dew outside, it was almost dry, and the millet could be dried in a while.

The sun-dried millet here uses a bamboo product called a sun-drying mat, which is about three meters wide and five or six meters long. The Wang family has four sun-dried mats, which are placed in the utility room.

You have to wait until the dew in front of the house is completely dry before spreading out the sun mat. If the sun mat gets wet, the rice on it will also get wet.

After breakfast, the heat is higher and the dew has completely dried up.

Ji Anyi and Wang Xiaoer worked together to clean up the flat ground in front of the house, and found out the positions of the four sun mats, then opened the utility room, carried out the sun mats, and spread them out neatly.

Wang Xiaoer went into the house to pick the millet, poured the millet on the sun mat, and slowly flattened the millet with tools to even out the millet.

Ji Anyi didn't do this job. He took the dirty clothes into the back of the house, washed the clothes and dried them neatly, cleaned up the kitchen, brought some water to water the vegetables in the vegetable field, and drained the chickens behind the house. The duck was released and stirred up two large pots of food.

"I'm going to water the vegetable field in the mountain depression. Look at the house. Don't let the chickens and ducks come to the house and dirty the millet." He has been busy these two days, and he didn't go into the mountain depression. He didn't know that the vegetables were withered. What a disaster.

Wang Xiaoer had already flattened the millet and was about to put down the farm tools in his hand. He was stunned for a moment when he heard Ji Anyi's words, and nodded in response.

Then, he watched helplessly as his daughter-in-law walked towards the valley with the bucket, until she could no longer see anyone, then slowly withdrew her gaze, sat under the eaves and watched the movement around, not letting the chickens and ducks dirty the grains.

In less than half an hour, Ji Anyi came back.

The sun was a bit high and hot at the moment, he wiped the sweat from his brow, Wang Xiaoer immediately walked over, took the empty bucket from his daughter-in-law, and awkwardly wiped her flushed face with his sleeve , with seriousness and purity in her eyes.

"Okay." Ji Anyi was a little uncomfortable, feeling an inexplicable warmth rushing to his heart.

This idiot is getting more and more crooked, sweet and greasy.

He pursed his lips and smiled, entered the house, fetched some water at the back of the house, and washed his face with cold water. He felt much more comfortable, and the strange feeling disappeared.

"Daughter-in-law." Wang Xiaoer stood at the kitchen door in front of the house, looking at the daughter-in-law behind the house.

Ji Anyi put the washbasin on the shelf, glanced at him, and smiled. "I am here."

Wang Xiaoer grinned stupidly and smiled, the smile was too bright.

Ji Anyi shook his head lightly, walked over, took his hand, moved a stool and sat under the eaves in front of the house, and said slowly. "The millet has been harvested, and the next step is to plow the land to prepare for planting late rice. It's not an easy job, but don't worry, we only have two acres of land. It's okay to slow down. Hurry up and plant it before the time." Late rice is enough. The vegetables in the field have not been in the town for several days. These two days are for drying millet. Otherwise, we will get up early tomorrow and go to the town. We also need to buy some daily necessities at home. .”

Wang Xiaoer didn't know if he understood, he kept smiling, looked at the daughter-in-law next to him from time to time, and looked around from time to time, paying attention to the chickens and ducks.

After an hour in the sun, the millet has to be turned over to dry.

Ji Anyi searched in the utility room, and found a farm tool, and together with Wang Xiaoer, the two of them slowly turned over the millet.

The sun is very strong, no accident, it will dry out after two or three days in the sun, and it can be put into the barn for storage.

The two of them guarded the millet all morning, Ji Anyi muttered a few words from time to time, and it was noon in a blink of an eye.

Compared with today, yesterday is really two extremes.

Wei Wei was stunned for a while, Ji Anyi was ready to start lunch.

The sauerkraut idiots like to eat last time, I will blanch some in the afternoon and put it away, and I will go to town tomorrow to buy some pork belly and bones, and I will be able to eat sauerkraut tomorrow afternoon, and the stewed bone soup with winter melon is also good. I know if there is any yam, and after the millet is dried, I can go to the mountain.

When he entered the kitchen, his eyes caught sight of the vegetable field next to the house, looking at the radishes in the field, Ji Anyi thought of something. "Idiot, why do you like to eat carrots?"

He likes it very much. He dried the radish strips and soaked them in clear water when they were ready to eat. They can be eaten directly with fried meat. It is crispy, sweet and refreshing, or it can be eaten marinated. Salt, etc., stir and let it sit for two hours, it is completely delicious, it is a delicious dish with wine, and it can also be eaten as a snack.

There are no vegetables in winter. Although there is space, it still cannot be used openly.

In August and September, I have to be busy with drying vegetables, otherwise, winter will be difficult.

"I like it." Wang Xiaoer replied loudly, smiling brightly, like a child.

My daughter-in-law loves everything she makes.

"If we like to eat, let's save more, maybe we can sell some money in the town." Said cheerfully, Ji Anyi entered the kitchen, not forgetting to tell the idiot. "Look at the millet, don't let the chickens and ducks come to make trouble."

"it is good."

After closing the kitchen door casually, Ji Anyi quickly entered the space, picked a tender pumpkin, a handful of amaranth and peppers, and then flashed out of the space.

After lunch, after a break, Wang Xiaoer turned over the millet to dry, Ji Anyi tidied up the kitchen, and when they were done, they mixed some food for the chickens and ducks.

There was nothing else to do, I had to watch Guzi, and couldn't take a nap, so the two of them moved a stool to sit under the eaves.

There was a gentle breeze, bringing a wave of heat, which was a bit scorching, and the sun above the head was scorching hot, bright and dazzling, and the mountains and forests not far away were silent. It was so hot that even the birds were too lazy to call. Cicada was persistently howling at the top of his voice.

Ji Anyi yawned, and put his head on Wang Xiaoer's shoulder, his voice was vague. "Idiot, I'm a little sleepy."

Wang Xiaoer tilted his head, staring at the side face on his shoulder in a daze, it was white and clean, it was really pretty, he looked at it for a long time, then, with a cheerful grin, he muttered and read. "Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law." Full of joy.

Then, he hugged the person next to him tightly, hugged him tightly, and smiled brighter and brighter.

He didn't know what kind of emotion it was, but he just wanted to hold his wife tightly.

"I can't even breathe." This sudden move dispelled Ji Anyi's drowsiness. He raised his head and glanced at the smirking idiot. There was an indescribable joy in his heart, but he still managed it. "It's hot."

Wang Xiaoer let go of his hand and smiled happily.

"Brother Ji, just grab the millet and collect it?" An aunt came not far away, about 30 years old, and the first impression he gave was that he was quite refreshing.

Ji Anyi squinted his eyes slightly, thought for a while, and after thinking and thinking, he vaguely remembered, is this the Liu family? He only said two or three words, and he had a relationship with his parents when he was still alive. He seemed to get along well. At that time, he was just adopted by Uncle Ji. The Liu family also came over to persuade him, telling him to be more careful and to live a good life. Later, seeing Uncle Ji treated him badly, He also talked to Ji's family twice, but at that time, Ji Anyi was trapped in his own world, and they wanted to help him, but they couldn't do much.

"Ah Liu." Ji Anyi stood up with a smile, greeted him, went into the kitchen, brought some well water, filled a cup, and handed it to the Liu family. "It's so hot today, drink a glass of water to cool off."

The Liu family's grandma drank the water in the glass happily, and said to Ji Anyi cheerfully. "This well is well dug, the water is really sweet." Putting down the cup, he looked at Ji Anyi with a smile, and said directly. "Brother Ji, I'm here now, and I have nothing else to do. I heard that this well water is used to irrigate your dishes. The color of the water is so good. I feel a little greedy. Now, I want to ask, can I follow Uncle Ji's family and come to pick up a load of well water sooner or later, so that the vegetable fields at my house can grow better."

After a pause, without waiting for Ji Anyi to speak, the Liu family's grandma continued speaking neatly. "Of course, this well water is not picked for nothing. Ji Ge'er is living a difficult life with Wang elder brother. When I first came here, I saw that the two acres of paddy fields in your house have been harvested, and the cultivated land is short of plowing. Tian, ​​I thought, Brother Ji is small, and Brother Wang..." He said, he smiled and scratched the back of his head. "Brother Ji, I don't have any other ideas. I just think about the two acres of paddy fields in your family. The work of plowing and plowing the fields can be done by the two boys in my family. Look, will this work?"

When Wang Baoer came to talk about picking well water, Ji Anyi had already realized that in a short time, other people in the village would come over, and he was already mentally prepared. In fact, it wouldn't be long before this matter was hidden, and everyone in the village knew about it.

This is also good, it saves some people from being jealous or something, making some small tricks behind the scenes, and spreading it all out, everyone will benefit, and it will save a lot of trouble.

"Okay, then please trouble Liu Ah, I'm worrying about farming land." Ji Anyi responded with a gentle smile.

Seeing the smile on his face, Liu's grandma was a little dazed. After a while, he held Ji Anyi's hand, his eyes were a little red, and he spoke earnestly. "Good boy, you can see it." As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Xiaoer, who was next to him, stopped for a while, and continued. "This young man from the Wang family, although he is a bit unreasonable, is still a good guy. He can endure hardship without causing trouble, and he is better than being obedient. If you get along well with him, maybe he will be sensible after getting along with him."

"At that time, I was determined and powerless. If I could really want to take you home and raise me, I have the same temperament as you, and we get along well on weekdays. Unfortunately, you suffered too much at that time. We didn’t get over it, we watched from the side, and we could only be anxious. Fortunately, fortunately, we can see it now, my child, you are still young, you are only 11 years old, and the days to come will be long in the future. Take your time, there is no hurdle You can't make it through, now that you and Brother Wang are married, it's a small family, and if you run it well, you can live a good life, if there is anything wrong, you can come and find me."

These words are really heartfelt. The Liu family's aunt also loves this child. A good child was almost ruined. Fortunately, it didn't cause too much tragedy. Come to think of it, it was his aunt and father who were there Heaven has a spirit, and it is reluctant for the child to suffer, so it blesses him in the dark.

"I got seriously ill once in May. I thought I was going to die. I was happy at that time. I could see my aunt and dad. That day, I really saw my aunt and dad... "Ji Anyi lowered his eyes, wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, his voice choked up. "I said a lot of things, and then I woke up again. I was confused. Liu Ama is right. I have to live well. My ama and dad are watching in the sky. I have to let them rest assured .”

"It's a strange thing to say." With red eyes, Ji Anyi smiled at the Liu family, a little embarrassed. "After waking up that day, the well water behind the house smelled better than usual, and it was used to irrigate the vegetable field, and the effect was better than before... I thought at that time, I can't let me down anymore Mo and Dad, I have to live well. Xiao Er and I are still young and can’t earn much money, but with this well water, life can be lived anyway, and I have some hope.”

"Yes. That's the reason." The Liu family patted Ji Anyi's hand. "It's good if you can see through it. You are a good boy, and you can live a good life. After suffering so much, great blessings lie ahead."
