On Saturday, Chu Tianqi got up late and his parents went out. He washed his face and took out the hot meal from the pot, and swept it away.

Chu Tianqi filled a bag with a bottle of liquor, a few cans of beer, and took some of the things he bought back yesterday, put them in the bag, and was about to go out.

"Why did you get up? It's almost noon. Chu Yuliang walked in from outside, followed by his mother.

"I slept too late yesterday. Chu Tianqi replied, "I'm going to find my brother." After speaking, he walked out from his parents, and his father's words came from behind him: "Find any reason, I drink a lot of alcohol when I drink a lot." ”

Chu Tianqi didn't ride a motorcycle, because the road conditions to the mountains were not good, and it was easy to cut tires, so he walked out of the house. Along the way, they met people from the village and greeted each other.

The apricot tree slope contracted by his younger brother is in Xiaodonggou, only three miles away, Chu Tianqi walked while looking at the mountains and rocks and trees on both sides. The mountains in summer are lush and green, and even the dewed rocks are so kind, which is the feeling of home.

When he came to the bottom of the slope of Xiaodonggou, Chu Tianqi saw a small house halfway up the mountain and walked straight over. The small house is actually a thatched house, which is made of small tree trunks that do not make up a shelf, and the roof is covered with thatch and mud.

Chu Tianqi pushed open the door of the house, and a damp musty smell rushed to his face, and his younger brother was not in the house. There was a bed inside, and the luggage on it was rolled up. The stove was dark, there were two buckets on the floor, and there were food bags in the small jar, and the whole feeling was very shabby.

Chu Tianqi put down the things in his hand, walked out of the hut, and walked over alone, it was his younger brother Chu Lirui. Chu Lirui was dark and thin, with a stubble beard, and he looked a lot older.

"Brother, why are you here?" Chu Lirui was very happy, "I saw someone entering the house from a high place just now, like you, and came down." ”

"Why do you look like a wild man?" Chu Tianqi patted his younger brother on the shoulder, "The grafting of fruit trees is not smooth?"

"Brother, I'll take you to have a look. Chu Lirui said, walking in front, Chu Tianqi followed behind, and the two brothers chatted while walking.

The mountain of fruit trees is also quite spectacular from a distance, but when you look closer, you can see the clues. Chu Tianqi also came here a month ago, and at that time, the grafted fruit trees looked very good, and the survival rate was at least 95 percent. This time, the situation is not optimistic, at least thirty percent of them have died.

"Why did you die so many at once? Chu Tianqi asked.

"Brother, it was like this half a month ago, but I already have a solution. Chu Lirui's tone sounded very confident, "When this situation first appeared, I was very anxious, but later I checked some information and contacted the technicians I knew to find out the reason." Nowadays, many seedlings die after grafting, mainly because of the hidden dangers left by my original operation method. At that time, I asked a few people in the village to help me when I was grafting, and I originally told them to tie the plastic strips from the bottom to the top, but they did the same when they first made them, and I didn't look at them carefully when they tied them later. As a result, I saw the dead seedlings this time, and I realized that some plastic strips were tied from top to bottom, and when they were untied at the same time, the tied ones died a lot......"

Chu Lirui also talked about the principle of seedling grafting, precautions, and the next remedial measures, all of which are professional issues, and Chu Tianqi can't understand them very well. Chu Tianqi followed Chu Lirui's method and kept serving the fruit trees with him, and the two brothers chatted while working.

It was past five o'clock in the afternoon, and Chu Lirui urged his brother to go home. Chu Tianqi insisted on staying with his younger brother for one night, and the two brothers began to cook. There was no electricity in the house, so I used a big pot to make rice and fried potato chips.

The dining table is a simple table nailed with wooden planks, on which it is full, and what cannot be placed is placed on the ground. Chu Lirui said while counting: "Brother, look, potato chips, peanuts, ham sausages, salted duck eggs, canned fish, mixed cabbage, cucumbers, lettuce dipping sauce, just eight dishes, the big landlords in the old society had eight bowls of treatment, and we became big landlords." ”

"Yes, there are also green and pollution-free vegetables, which are better than the big landlords*. Chu Tianqi was very happy to see that his younger brother was in a good mood, he took a bite of the cucumber, and said while eating: "Don't say it, the cucumbers, cabbage, and lettuce behind your house are really good." ”

"Of course, all the fertilizer applied is farmhouse, which is produced and sold. Chu Lirui said loudly.

"The more you talk, the more you get up, come on, come on, drink. Chu Tianqi picked up the wine bowl and raised it at his younger brother.

The two brothers drank with great interest, and they were chatting all over the world while drinking. Although Chu Lirui said that he lived a very fulfilling life, after all, he often lived alone in the mountains, and the loneliness in his heart could be imagined.

When it was completely dark, the brothers were drunk, and only the glass-covered oil lamp was still glowing with golden flames......

The liquor bottles were empty, the few cans of beer were left with shriveled shells, the leftovers in the bowls were spread on the table and the floor, and the two brothers on the bed were lying on their backs, making a deafening snoring sound. Outside the house, there were shadowy shadows everywhere, and the fruit trees were sleeping.

The stars in the sky, the spring water in the ditch makes the sound of "whooshing" and "ding dong", occasionally a few squirrels shuttling up and down, and occasionally a few animal cries, all of which tell people that this is not a painting, but a real night view of the mountains.

"Cough, cough", Chu Tianqi was awakened by a dry and painful throat, and his coughing also made Chu Lirui rush back from Zhou Gong, and it was already dawn.

The two brothers got up, poured a scoop of cold water, cleaned up the leftovers on the table, and ate breakfast.

"Brother, go back. Chu Lirui wiped his mouth and said.

"Well, you also have to pay attention to your body, especially your diet, how can you only eat two meals in such a long day?" Chu Tianqi patted his younger brother on the shoulder.

"It's okay, brother, I'll go to bed early and get up late to save food. Chu Lirui grinned.

Chu Tianqi instructed in detail: "You also have to pay attention to food hygiene, prepare some medicines, keep the door closed at night, what should you do if there is a wolf at night......?

"Brother, you are more verbose than our mother, I have thought of it, you go back quickly, I am still busy." Chu Lirui interrupted his brother's words.

Chu Tianqi took out a wad of money from the pocket of his clothes and handed it to Chu Lirui.

"Brother, I don't want it, you only earn a few bucks. Chu Lirui pushed Chu Tianqi's hand away.

"I don't want to be beaten up. Chu Tianqi stuffed the money into his brother's pants pocket, "I know you are using money now, and this time so many trees have died." It's not a lot of money, give me more when you earn it. ”

Chu Lirui didn't refuse, but he knew that his brother didn't earn much, and he usually spent it for the family, so he could save a few dollars, so he could only make up his mind: I want to earn more.

Under the gaze of his younger brother, Chu Tianqi walked out of Xiaodonggou and returned home.

"Dog, you're back!" the mother greeted her, "Is Xiaorui okay? is she still so thin, is she sick?"

Chu Tianqi met his mother's loving eyes and said with a smile: "He's very good, thin is thin, but he's quite strong, just eat with me, can he still be good?"

"That's how you are, thinking about this and that, didn't Xiao Rui just come back a few days ago?" Chu Yuliang said to his wife with a smile, "It's such a big child, what else can happen?"

"How old they are in front of us, too, are children. You Chunmei said dissatisfiedly, "Who is like you who never asks, is it still like a father?"

"Why am I not my own father, you say. His wife's words suddenly made Chu Yuliang anxious.

You Chunmei paused for a moment and glared at Chu Yuliang, "I, I'm just making an analogy, what are you anxious about?"

It's common for the old couple to quarrel a lot, but today Chu Tianqi felt that his father seemed to be in a hurry, so he started to be a peacemaker: "Dad, Mom, don't quarrel, say something else." ”

Hearing Chu Tianqi's words, her mother You Chunmei immediately said, "Dog, when are you going to bring your girlfriend home?"

"Here we go again. Chu Tianqi was afraid to ask about this.

"Isn't it good to get along with Liu Danian's daughter?" You Chunmei said to herself, "Wen Li's child is good-looking, good-looking, and sensible, but she doesn't have a formal job." ”

"Wen Li has turned positive. Chu Tianqi answered casually.

"yes? That's great, and that's good for my dog." You Chunmei suddenly frowned, "Mom told you that Wen Li is better than her sister, her sister loves to dress up since she was a child, and often fights with the male offspring in the village, no, she ran away with the beekeeper before she was eighteen years old." How far have you go? Do you want to find a matchmaker? Dog, who do you think is the right one?"

Chu Yuliang, who didn't speak for a long time, muttered: "Liu Danian is not a fuel-efficient lamp. ”

"What are you afraid of, our dog is bigger than him, what else does he dare to do. You Chunmei has a heartbeat.

Chu Tianqi heard what they said more and more outrageous, and hurriedly said, "What are you talking about? ”

"The dog is still embarrassed, but Mom has seen it. You Chunmei said firmly, "Earlier, you went to Liu Danian's house for dinner, I was afraid that you would get drunk, so I went out to meet you." As soon as I was halfway there, I saw that you wanted to pull Wen Li's hand, and Wen Li gave it to you. Under the moon, I saw Wen Li looking at you, just like a girl with a spring in her arms. Mom was also young, Mom understands. Do you still say nothing, nothing can you hold your hand without letting go?"

"You too, what an elder is doing when he looks at other people. Chu Yuliang seemed to complain, but in fact, he also had a smile on his face.

"Didn't I catch up, and then I came back as soon as I could. You Chunping looked very reasonable, "But there's nothing to be ashamed of, who hasn't been young." ”

"Alright, you say, I'll go back to the house. After Chu Tianqi finished speaking, he returned to the West House.

The old couple in the East House were still discussing Chu Tianqi's marriage, especially You Chunmei was thinking further: "I think Wen Li's child will definitely be able to give birth to a boy, you see that the ass is long, and it looks like a child." ”

"Hey, you can. Chu Yuliang responded.

I spent a day with my younger brother on Saturday, and my parents were thinking about their marriage on Sunday, and this weekend Chu Tianqi spent it in a strong family relationship.
