Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 8 Big Brother
Chunqiu followed Yuan Shi, looking at the basket of wild cabbage in her hand, thinking about something.

According to Chunqiu, cabbage likes to be warm and humid, with sufficient light.The optimum temperature for growth is 15-20°C.The selection of soil is not very strict, but it is suitable for planting in clay loam or sandy loam rich in humus.

Moreover, the maturity period of cabbage is not long, about 45 days, so looking at the fist-sized, juicy-looking wild cabbage in front of him, Chunqiu was so happy that the burning pain in his back did not care.

Since ancient times, there have been differences between the north and the south. Rice is the staple food in the south, and flour is the staple food in the north. Although the geographical location of Yangjia Village is unknown, the approximate location can still be inferred. It is obviously the south.Chunqiu used to be a true northerner, but he was greedy for pasta for a long time, and finally bought white noodles this time, and now he has wild cabbage, which is simply the right time and place.

When the mother and daughter came back, it was already dusk and the two of them stayed on the mountain for a whole day. It was okay for an adult like Yuan Shi, but it was terrible for a child like Chunqiu. The clothes soaked in sweat and the little face flushed from the sun all showed the hardships of Chunqiu's day. If it weren't for the fact that Chunqiu was an adult in his heart, he would have fainted from exhaustion, but it's not so good now. Chunqiu tried to lift her sore arm, but immediately grinned in pain.

Yuan Shi looked at the girl next to her who was dripping with beads of sweat, and felt pain in her heart. She immediately put the pannier on the ground on the ground, bent down and pulled Chunqiu beside her, and took out the bag from her cuff. The handkerchief carefully wiped the sweat off her face, children's skin is relatively delicate, especially the handkerchief Yuan Shi took out was not soft, so Chunqiu was wiped abruptly, and almost cried out, hiss!It hurts.

Looking at her daughter's frowning face, Yuan knew that she had done something serious, so she quickly took her hand away, put the handkerchief in Chunqiu's hand, and said, "Wipe it quickly, don't get it in your eyes, when the time comes, you should wipe it again." It's hard to see if you will go up the mountain with me next time." Yuan Shi regretted that she would never be able to bring her daughter with her next time. Seeing the flushed face of this little girl, she thought of her fair and tender appearance before. It was a refugee, and Yuan felt even more uncomfortable.

The young refugee who took Yuan's handkerchief and was wiping his face didn't know anything about it.

The two didn't rest for a long time, and then rushed home.

Along the winding path at the entrance of the village, Chunqiu looked up at the smoke rising not far away, the blue sky and white clouds, and the pastoral style, which modern people can no longer enjoy.

Chunqiu still took over the small basket in Yuan's hands. Although Yuan's heart ached, he still couldn't stop Chunqiu's coquettishness. He told his daughter to be careful, and Yuan followed her. For this reason, although she is very much loved by Yuan Shi and Yang Li Shi, none of the tasks that should be done have been left behind. Chunqiu has taken over such trivial matters as feeding chickens and ducks since she was able to walk. A basket of vegetables is not uncommon.

The mother and daughter walked forward one after the other, and they were about to enter the village. At this time, a child about ten years old suddenly appeared at the corner of the village entrance, looking around as if looking for someone?With her 5.0 eyesight, Chunqiu recognized the person not far away at a glance. Isn't that her brother Yang Chunming?
Chunqiu hurriedly put down the pannier on his shoulders, stretched out his hand to greet Yang Chunming, and shouted loudly, "Second Brother, I am here with Mother." After shouting, he said to Yuan Shi behind him, "Mother, look." After Shi's gaze came over, he stretched out his finger and pointed to Yang Chunming who ran over when he heard her shout, "Second brother is here to pick us up." Chunqiu smiled with his eyes crooked, and his tone was brisk, like a little lark.

Although Yang Chunming is the elder brother of Chunqiu's first mother, because he is the second grandchildren of the Yang family, Chunqiu is used to calling him second elder brother.

Yuan raised her head and glanced at the eldest son who was running back, then looked down at the smiling little girl next to her, and teased, "Niuniu misses her brother, why are you so happy?"

Chunqiu wrinkled her lovely nose when she heard it, and said to Yuan Shi, "I haven't seen my second brother for half a month, of course I want to." After Chunqiu finished speaking, he raised his head, and his confident face instantly Yuan Shi was amused.

Yuan Shi raised her eyebrows, with a happy face, "In Mother's opinion, Niu Niu likes the candy brought back by brother, after all, she begged for a long time at the beginning." Yuan Shi recalled the scene when her son left home to study in the town , my daughter didn't need money to say good things that day.Yuan Shi couldn't control her smile when she thought about it now.

Looking at his mother's smirk, Chunqiu knew that she must have remembered the stupid things she did before. Chunqiu covered her eyes in embarrassment, she was not young at that time!
Just as Yuan Shi was teasing her daughter, Yang Chunming ran up to the two of them. Yuan Shi looked at the tired and panting son in front of her, and ignored her own daughter's shy expression, and quickly stretched out her hand to help her son. Shun, "Why don't you run slowly? Is Niuniu and I lost? Why are you here? Why don't you go to study after taking a vacation?" Carefully patting it with light hands, for fear that his son would choke.

Yang Chunming raised his immature face, smiled and said to Yuan Shi, "Mother, my son came back after a long time, and just came to pick you up. Why don't you let him do such a trivial matter? It doesn’t happen overnight, you have to relax once in a while.” Yang Chunming’s voice has not yet reached the stage of changing his voice, and it sounds extraordinarily crisp and clear, especially the peach blossom eyes that resemble Yuan’s, which are extremely beautiful, which is why Chunqiu loves to pester him Because of this, who wouldn't like such a beautiful and lovely little Zhengtai!

"You just have to study hard." Yuan's face was affirmative. Her son was going to be an official, so how could he go down to the farm.

Hearing what his mother said, Yang Chunming seemed extremely helpless. It was almost mid-April, and it was the busy season of farming. Their school was closed for seven days because of the agricultural holiday. When every household in Yangjia Village had to farm, how could he not What about going to the ground?
"Mother, if my son becomes an official, don't he also need to know about farming? Otherwise, how can he make decisions for the people? How can he not go down to the land?" Yang Chunming knew that his mother wholeheartedly expected him to be an official, so he had no choice but to He made such a bad plan to coax his mother.

"Being an official still needs to go to the land." Yuan was shocked when she heard that, but she thought that going to the land was for the sake of being an official, so she didn't say anything about letting Yang Chunming go back. Pay attention." Yuan cryptically expressed that she wanted to make Yang Chunming lazy, so Yang Chunming could only smile.

At this time, Chunqiu, who was secretly watching the mother and son, opened his eyes cautiously, watching the scene in front of him with his big eyes turning back and forth, well, mother has no time to worry about her!Oye!
"By the way, there is your sister, but I miss your candy." Yuan suddenly thought of the girl next to her, and then casually told her son the conversation between the two of them.

Chunqiu who just rejoiced that she escaped: ...she seems to have been discovered ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Yang Chunming looked at the petrified younger sister in front of him, and couldn't help laughing, hahaha, the younger sister is so cute.

Yuan Shi, who was confused about the situation: What did I say?
In the end, Yang Chunming stopped smiling, and said to Chunqiu who was blushing like a big lobster next to him, "The candy is at home, and my brother has hidden it for you. We can eat it when we go back." He blinked at Chunqiu, his face bright.

Chunqiu nodded numbly, what should I do if I lose face!
Because of Yang Chunming's arrival, Chunqiu naturally gave up his small basket and walked to the front with ease.

Yang Chunming was carrying Yuan's pannier, and Yuan was walking behind carrying Chunqiu's pannier. The mother and son were chatting about what happened to Yang Chunming in the past half month. ahead.

"Son, what do you want to eat today? Mother will make it for you." Yuan Shi looked at Yang Chunming, who had lost weight for half a month, and felt distressed. "Look at this face, why did you lose weight again in less than half a month?" circle," Yuan said, staring at Yang Chunming's face.

"Mother, my son is really not thin." Yang Chunming never broke the smile on his face. He looked at his mother who was worried about him, and his heart was extremely warm.Every time he comes back, Yuan Shi always thinks that he has lost weight again. In fact, Yuan Shi has given him a lot of money in private, especially the food in the school is more abundant than at home. How can he lose weight?
"Look, look, the cheeks are obviously sunken. Why aren't you thinner?" Yuan Shi didn't listen to his son's explanation, but just stared at his son's face that looked more and more handsome in front of him. Both sides of the cheeks were obviously sunken. , actually lied, Yuan glared at his son angrily.

Seeing his own mother's appearance, Yang Chunming rubbed his nose but didn't speak.

Yang Chunming knew that in their second room, no one could mess with his mother.

But Chunqiu, who was beating the soy sauce all the way, was not happy, Chunqiu secretly curled his lips, looking at her brother's round face, her mother is really selective!His brother's face is obviously fatter than when he left before, okay?
