Chapter 4 The Red Willow Family
was thinking about it, when suddenly a bright flashlight shone towards her, Zhuo Yan immediately came back to his senses and blocked the flashlight with his hand, "Who?" ”
"Sister, it's me Zhuo Qing!" A twelve or thirteen-year-old boy jumped out with a smile, "I'm afraid that the pit surnamed Lu has been waiting here!" ”
Zhuo Yan was relieved at this time, she reached out and rubbed her brother's head, "If you don't sleep at night, how can you have the spirit to follow Abba to herd sheep tomorrow?" ”
Animal husbandry is the pillar industry of Xiliuying, and Zhuo Yan has more than 200 sheep at home.
Zhuo Qing was not fooled, "Don't scare me with Abba, I can get up!" ”
Zhuo Qing is twelve years old this year, and he has just finished attending the literacy class in the village, and according to the meaning of the village chief, Zhuo Qing wants to send Zhuo Qing to the middle school in the town to study, but Zhuo Qing said that he will have a headache as soon as he reads, and the father and son are still deadlocked.
Zhuo Yan has a very good relationship with this younger brother, the two of them talked and laughed, and they also broke a yellow apricot and ate it while walking.
The place of Xiliuying is vast and sparsely populated, and the houses in the village are not as dense as those built in the south, and every house is quite far apart.
Turning around a bush of vigorous red willows, it is Zhuo Yan's home.
Yellow mud adobe wall, poplar gate, outside the door stood a tall young man, this young man had straight eyebrows, and his tone was also very impulsive, "Zhuo Yan, do you still know to come back?" ”
Zhuo Yan grinned and handed over the yellow apricot in his hand, "Second brother, it's your favorite yellow apricot!" ”
The temperature difference between day and night in the Hetao area is large, the yellow apricot skin is thin and the flesh is thick, and the honey juice can be left along the corners of the mouth when you take a bite.
Zhuo Han couldn't help but take the branch, and his tone was not so rushed, "Go in and be quiet, don't wake up your parents!" ”
Zhuo Yan agreed with a smile and pulled Zhuo Qing into the courtyard.
The small courtyard is quite large, with three main rooms, two left and right wings, Zhuo Qing and Zhuo Han each occupy one side of the wing, and the other side lives the newlywed boss Zhuo Mu and his new wife Ren Lili.
Zhuo Yan followed his parents to live in the room.
At this moment, the lights in several rooms have been turned off, Zhuo Yan took advantage of the moonlight, brought a bucket of water, and was about to wash her face and sober up, when someone carried a large copper kettle to heat water in her basin.
Zhuo Yan raised his head and faced the second brother's straight eyebrows, "Girls don't use cold water!" "The 10,000-year-old bachelor Zhuo Han said very sophisticatedly.
Zhuo Yan couldn't help but laugh, and Zhuo Han hurriedly stretched out his hand to her and whispered.
The Zhuo family was originally as tight as an iron bucket, needles could not be inserted, and water could not be splashed, but three months ago, after Zhuo Mu's daughter-in-law Ren Lili married in, there were cracks in this iron bucket.
If Zhuo's father and Zhuo's mother found out that Zhuo Yan slipped out at night, they would stare at her at most, and if Ren Lili saw it, then there would be a mouth!
Zhuo Yan grimaced at the second brother, hurriedly washed it, and slipped into the house to sleep like a thief.
Zhuo Yan had a good night's rest, and after falling asleep, Zhuo Yan had a dream, in which she saw a girl who looked like her, and said to her that she hoped that she could live well in this world instead of herself, and not make her stupid mistakes again!
had such a dream, and by the next day, Zhuo Yan had fully accepted the fact that she had become a character in the book, but Zhuo Yan in the book had a tragic fate, since she came, she had to live a happy life.
The green willow forest and red willow branches, the morning sun sets off the white sand on the edge of the river beach like a painting.
The Zhuo family is exquisite, even if it is used to drink cattle and sheep, it is clear well water, Zhuo Yan carried eight or nine buckets of water in a row, and there were fewer sheep squeezed over to drink water.
Zhuo Yan smiled and touched the two shepherd dogs who were squatting properly, "It's time for you to drink!" ”
The sheep graze during the day and no longer need to be fed, but they need to be well hydrated at home.
Seeing that the two sheepdogs also went to drink water by the sink, Zhuo Yan filled the sheepdog's food bowl again.
After feeding the sheep, Zhuo Yan washed his hands and cooked, cooking for his family.
