As time passed, the sun gradually began to move westward, and when it was almost 13:00 noon, Qin Guangchang also finished today's coursework.

With the sound of "out of class~", the class "coaxed" lively, and then one by one the teenagers and girls flew away like groups of happy little sparrows.

Qin Shijie and his little friend Qin Shiye also rushed out of the class together, rushed down the ramp next to the barn, and started to go home along the same road.

After coming down the ramp is an open pond, this pond is the industry of Qinjia Village, raising a lot of fish, and you can catch it for everyone to share every New Year's Day.

It's summer, so you can see schools of fish swimming around in the pond.

After descending the slope, a short distance along the road by the pond winds its way, and beside the pond and the road, a tall and luxuriant banyan tree stands upright, half of the branches and leaves of the banyan tree extend sideways into the pond, and there are some stone benches made of flat stones under the banyan tree.

It was the middle of the day, but there were still some village elders sitting under the shade of the trees.

"Hey, Xiaojie, are you already out of school?~" Some old people under the tree asked with a kind smile. It can be seen that Qin Shijie's popularity is still very good.

"Well, Third Grandpa, we're already out of school. Qin Shijie replied.

After passing the banyan tree, they turned onto a village road, and Qin Shijie and the little fat man walked along the village road. After saying goodbye to the little fat man, Qin Shijie had to walk in for a while before arriving at home.

Qin Shijie's home is already at the end of the village road, which belongs to the location at the end of the village.

Qinjia Village is not large, with more than 300 people in more than 60 households, all of whom are members of the Qin family.

Three mud-tile houses stand at the end of the village, and behind the houses are patches of woods, which is Qin Shijie's home.

At this time, there were bursts of children's laughter in Qin Shijie's house, which was the sound of his younger brother and sister playing.

In a tiled room next to it, smoke was rising, and it was the kitchen, where my mother must have been preparing her lunch, and she could start eating a fragrant meal just by waiting for his return.

Thinking of the fragrant meal, it seemed that he couldn't help but smell the smell, and Qin Shijie couldn't help but speed up his pace.

As soon as she entered the fence courtyard gate, her sharp-eyed sister shouted in surprise: "Brother, brother, it's my brother back!~"

After speaking, I saw a little girl running out of the door with her legs open, and rushed directly towards Qin Shijie.

Seeing the cute little girl rushing over, Qin Shijie couldn't help but smile happily.

That was his sister Qin Meixiang, who was four years old this year, well-behaved and cute, and the two diagonal pigtails on her head looked extremely cute.

Before Qin Shijie could completely squat down and open his arms, the little girl jumped into Qin Shijie's arms.

He happily picked up his sister and spun around twice on the spot.

If you don't turn around, the four-year-old child is already heavier, not to mention that he still rushes straight towards him, for an eleven or two-year-old boy, this impact is still not small, and if he doesn't turn around, he will fall.

"Are you good today, did you listen to your mother?" Qin Shijie happily asked the little girl in his arms.

"Of course Xiang'er is well-behaved, of course she listens to her mother," the little girl replied crisply.

At this time, a small head poked out in the house, and when he saw Qin Shijie, he also shouted happily: "Brother, you are back from school!"

"Well, I'm back~" Qin Shijie also smiled and beckoned.

This is Qin Shijie's younger brother Qin Shixin, who is seven years old this year.

The seven-year-old boy is the most naughty age, and he is usually naughty, but when he saw Qin Shijie's return, he immediately shouted in the direction of the kitchen: "Mother~Mother~Mother~, my brother is back from school." Can you eat? I'm hungry. ”

"Alright, alright. Your brother is back?" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a kind middle-aged woman come out of the kitchen, the woman was dressed in a simple blue dress, the clothes had been washed and faded a lot, showing patches of pale blue and gray-white, with an old apron tied around her waist, her face was kind and slightly dark, and there were a few wrinkles left by the years in the corners of her eyes.

This is Qin Shijie's mother, Wu Hailian, who married from the next village ten miles away fifteen years ago.

After Wu Hailian walked out of the kitchen, she saw Qin Shijie who was holding the little girl in the courtyard and teasing her, her eyes lit up, and she said happily: "Xiaojie is out of school~ Wash your hands." It's time to eat. ”

Before Qin Shijie could answer, his younger brother Qin Shixin next to him jumped up happily and shouted happily: "Oh ~ open the meal! Oh ~ open the meal!"

Wu Hailian couldn't help laughing and scolded: "This kid~ only knows how to eat in a day! ”

Qin Shijie couldn't help but smile and said, "Mother, I know." By the way, Daddy, haven't you come back from the field yet?"

"Your father, he just came back from the field. Before he could sit down for a while, he went to the back of the house, saying that he was going to repair the fence in the backyard. Wu Hailian couldn't help complaining, "This old man is always idle, and he doesn't know how to rest." Go and call him back, it's time to eat. ”

After speaking, Wu Hailian turned back to the kitchen and continued to work.

Qin Shijie put his sister down, told her to wash her hands, and began to walk to the backyard. After turning around a tiled house, you will find the backyard.

At this time, in the backyard, several bundles of newly cut bamboo were lying in the courtyard, and a few more bamboos were scattered around, and next to the fence wall, a middle-aged man was bending over, holding an axe in his hand and striking aggressively on a bamboo that had just been inserted into the soil.

"Daddy~Daddy~"

Qin Shijie couldn't help but scream a few times.

Hearing the scream, the middle-aged man slowly stood up and turned his head. The man was of medium stature, wearing a sleeveless old shirt, with a cloth belt wrapped around his waist, and because of his perennial farming, his figure was quite strong, his face was dark, and his head was wrapped in a cloth with long hair, perhaps because he had just bent over and driven piles for a long time, and even if he was standing at the moment, his waist was slightly arched. This is Qin Shijie's father, Qin Chuangmin.

"Dad~ It's time for lunch!" Qin Shijie couldn't help but speak again.

Qin Chuangmin said: "Oh, Xiaojie is back from school!Okay, it's time to eat~"

After speaking, Qin Chuangmin put down the axe, clapped his hands, and walked back to the front yard with Qin Shijie.

Back in the front yard, Qin Shijie and his father washed their hands and face at the pump in the yard, cleaned up their whole body clean, refreshing, and then walked into the hall.

At this time, several dishes had been set up on the table in the middle of the hall, Wu Hailian was serving rice, and her younger brothers and sisters were already sitting at the table, looking at the dishes on the table.

Qin Shijie and his father couldn't help but chuckle when they saw their appearance.

There are three dishes on the table, a plate of stir-fried greens, a plate of stir-fried pickles, and a large pot of stewed fish.

These fish were caught by Qin Chuangmin in a small river two miles southeast of the village.

Two miles southeast of Qinjia Village, there is a small river that is not too wide and flows quietly, which not only moistens the paddy fields of Qinjia Village, but also has a lot of fish and shrimp in the river.

Living in a small mountain village is poor, it is usually difficult to eat meat, and when the children are growing up, Qin Chuangmin, a simple man, goes to the river from time to time to catch some fish and shrimp and comes back to replenish the children's bodies.

After Qin Shijie and his father were seated, lunch officially started. The two children, Qin Shixin and Qin Meixiang, kept stuffing fish meat into their mouths, and shouted while eating: "Delicious! Delicious!"

Mother Wu Hailian couldn't help but say next to her: "You two eat slowly, don't be stuck in your throat by fish bones!" After speaking, she couldn't help laughing.

Qin Shijie's family of five had a warm lunch.

"Father, boy, you went to the field this morning, how are our crops? Wu Hailian asked Qin Chuangmin next to him while eating.

Qin Chuangmin took a bite of rice and said, "This morning, I went around the paddy fields and dry land, and the crops are growing well." ”

"Then why did you come back with several bundles of bamboo?" Wu Hailian asked.

Qin Chuangmin continued: "Didn't I see that it was still early, thinking that the fences in our house were also old, and some of them had fallen, and then I went around to the back mountain, cut a few bundles of bamboo in the back mountain, and carried them back to re-trim the fence in the yard. ”

"I cut seven or eight bundles of bamboo in the back mountain, and I only carried half of them back this morning. I'll have to go back in the afternoon to carry the rest back. Qin Chuangmin took a few bites of rice and said.

When Qin Shijie heard this, he turned his head and said to his father: "Dad, I'll help you carry the bamboo back in the afternoon." ”

Qin Chuangmin paused, looked at Qin Shijie and asked, "Are you going to carry it back?" Are you okay?"

"Of course, I've learned the Reiki breathing method in the academy in the past few years, and my body is strong now. And I'm over eleven years old, so I'll do it. Dad!" Qin Shijie said with a resolute face.

"Okay then, you go to the back mountain in the afternoon and carry the bamboo back. I've already tied up the cut bamboo, right next to the bamboo grove in the back mountain. Qin Chuangmin looked at Qin Shijie with a resolute look on his face, and couldn't help but nod and said.

Wu Hailian listened beside her, and when she heard Qin Shijie say that she was more than eleven years old, she couldn't help but move in her heart, and said to Qin Chuangmin: "Child, Dad, Xiaojie is already more than eleven years old, and he will be twelve years old in the autumn." Isn't it time for us to prepare for Xiaojie's enlightenment?"

When Qin Chuangmin heard this, his heart was also moved, and he said, "Well, after autumn, Xiaojie should indeed be twelve years old." Now it's time to start saving money to prepare for Xiaojie's enlightenment.

In my opinion, in the future, I will sell all the good spiritual rice planted in the field, and all the spiritual grass in the field will be sold, and I will not keep it. If that time is not enough, I will sell all the sweet herbs I have stored at home. ”

In the mainland of Kyushu, in a mountain village like Qinjia Village, the paddy fields are generally planted with spiritual rice, and the fields are planted with some relatively common medicinal herbs and spiritual grasses. These spiritual rice and spiritual grass can still be sold in the city at a good price.

Because the aura of the entire Kyushu is too abundant, and the population of the entire continent eats spiritual rice, the life span of human beings is relatively long.

Ordinary human beings can live to be two hundred years old, and the lifespan of a martial artist who has achieved cultivation is even longer.
