Ye Qing was still very moved, and smiled to comfort the fried Ye Zhinan: "Okay, okay, who dares to hit me, I accidentally hit the door frame by myself, by the way, why did you come back so early?" ”

Ye Zhinan smiled: "Tonight, the team divides beef, and everyone comes back from work early." ”

The young man scratched his hair again, feeling that his sister was different today, before she got married, Ye Qingqing worked silently every day, and came back twice a year after getting married, and she also started to work when she got home, as if there was something to do in her eyes.

Occasionally chatting with him, I also listen more and talk less, and I always have a faint smile on my face, unlike today's sister, I feel a lot more lively.

He still likes the changes in his sister.

Ye Qing listened to Ye Zhinan's words, and felt very uncomfortable, he could eat meat for the New Year a year, and he was reluctant to eat too much at once, a piece of meat could be eaten only when it stinked, and his eyes turned to look at Ye Zhinan: "Water baby, do you want to eat meat every day?"

Ye Zhinan looked at Ye Qing in surprise, eating meat every day? He woke up laughing in his dreams: "Sister, you're not talking in a dream, are you?" I still eat meat every day, I can eat meat once a month, no, I can eat meat once every three months. ”

Ye Qing laughed: "Maybe the dream can come true, do you know how to take a car in the city?" ”

In the memory of the original owner, in addition to Xiaohe Village, Yangjiagou is the farthest place, and the farthest place is to go to the countryside with Luo Jinbei, get a marriage certificate, and don't even dare to eat, and come back in a donkey cart.

Therefore, Ye Qing didn't know where to take the car and where to go.

Ye Zhinan was even more shocked, he didn't even want to go to the city, his sister even wanted to go to the city, and shook her head: "I haven't been, but I know that it will take several hours to go to the county seat to take a car first, and I heard the captain say that the fare from the township to the city costs a dollar of five." ”

With that money, you can buy two catties of pork belly.

Ye Qing didn't expect it to be so far to go to the city?

Ye Zhinan continued: "If you want to stay in the city for one night, you must have a letter of introduction from the team, or it is not easy to be arrested as a blind stream, and we have no relatives in the city." Besides, the captain is dark, you want to ask him for a letter of introduction, and you have to send him something, at least two eggs......"

Ye Qing listened to Ye Zhinan's broken mouth, it seemed that it was not easy to go to the city.

I was afraid that talking too much would make Ye Zhinan suspicious, so he quickly changed the topic: "Do you have any plans to go to school?" ”

Ye Zhinan glared at Ye Qing: "Sister, I'm fifteen years old, I can't go to the first grade with a group of little kids, right?" I can now recognize a few words, and I can write my own name. ”

Ye Qing couldn't cry and laughed: "You are quite content, you never thought of going to the outside world to see?" If you look at the resumption of the college entrance examination in the past two years, how many people have gone to the city to go to college, and then they will be city people, eating commercial grain, rice and white flour every day, and they don't have to do farm work. ”

Ye Zhinan smashed his mouth, a little moved: "But I can't go to school with a group of little kids, it's too embarrassing." ”

"What's wrong with that? You are going to learn knowledge is not bigger than the size, you are still young, you always have to think about getting out of the mountains first. ”

Ye Qing wants to help the Ye family, and he has to take them all out of the mountains, so he can't always nest in this ravine.

Ye Zhinan's education from childhood to adulthood is that he was born in the mountains, and his ancestors have to grow up in the mountains for generations, don't look at him when he is only fifteen years old, people have already begun to come to the door to say goodbye. So Ye Qing's words were like a myth to him, and he couldn't even think of going to live in the city.

But he was embarrassed to refute his sister's words, just touching his head and smirking.

Ye Qing is not in a hurry, and his thoughts for so many years have not changed if he wants to.

When the sister and brother were chatting, Ye Tiancheng and Mao Hongyu came back together, Ye Tiancheng was holding a sickle and carrying a bamboo basket, and Mao Hongyu was carrying a piece of beef in his hand, a thin one, about two catties. In his right hand, he also carried a piece of beef intestines and tripe with feces, and entered the gate happily.

"Qingqing is back, I just heard your father say that you are back, and I went to ask for some cattle to go into the water and come back, and I will make you beef offal soup to eat in a while."

Ye Qingqing and Mao Hongyu look very similar, but they have had a hard time these years, Mao Hongyu, who is just forty, looks like a fifty-year-old person, with deep wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and her skin is also lustrous and unhealthy yellow.

The coarse cloth on his body was washed white, and his shoulders and cuffs were covered with black patches.

Ye Qing smiled and shouted Mom, busy going over to pick up the things in Mao Hongyu's hand.

Mao Hongyu flashed: "I haven't cleaned up the stink yet, don't get your hands dirty, you go and sit next to you first, and you can get it right for a while." ”

Ye Qing was not polite, she really gave it to her, and she would not deal with these things.

Mao Hongyu washed the tripe and beef intestines on the edge of the pressurized water well with her hands and feet, and chatted with her at the same time: "Qingqing, when I first came back, your father told me. After dinner, Shuiwa will borrow a donkey cart to send you back. You can also take that piece of beef back to your in-laws. ”

Ye Qing didn't want to refuse: "No need, you keep it to eat, the water baby is the time to grow the body, you and my dad will also make up for it." ”

Mao Hongyu smiled: "It's okay to eat more and less of this meat, if you take the meat back, life in the Luo family will always be better." ”

Ye Qingting didn't understand Mao Hongyu's thoughts, but he didn't plan to explain.

Mao Hongyu stopped what she was doing and looked at Ye Qing: "Have you forgotten that when you were ten years old, you carried the water baby to your grandmother's house, caught up with the rain and fell into the river, or did Jinbei pass by and save the two of you, so now that others are gone, you should be filial to his parents for him." ”

Ye Qing was stunned, he didn't expect that there was such a cause? But the original owner didn't remember it, probably because he was too young to remember.

Mao Hongyu cleaned up the water with his hands and feet, and called Ye Zhinan to carry firewood and make a fire.

Ye Qing looked at the white and pure beef intestines and tripe, and was still looking forward to having a decent dinner after crossing over.

When she saw Mao Hongyu's approach, she found that she thought too much, and it was estimated that because she didn't eat meat all year round, Mao Hongyu didn't know how to cook meat at all, and she didn't even have soy sauce at home except salt, let alone other seasonings.

I dug two shallots in the ground and came back, and I was reluctant to put the oil, so I stewed in clear water, and the yard was full of fishy smell.

Ye Zhinan wrinkled his nose and closed his eyes yearningly: "It's so fragrant." ”

Mao Hongyu smiled and went to wash a pot of potatoes again, ready to cut them and put them in the pot, which can be eaten as a staple food.

Ye Zhinan saw that the firewood was almost finished, and shouted Ye Qing to look at the fire, and he went to the gate of the courtyard to get firewood.

Ye Qing sat down in the same way as Ye Zhinan, and stabbed the fire that was bubbling out with a burning stick.

I heard Ye Zhinan talking loudly to people outside the gate, like chatting and arguing with people, noisy and messy.
