Chapter 171: Thankless
Yan Nian got up, hung the skewered mushrooms on the back window frame, wiped the table and washed his hands, remembered what Nuo Nuo said about building a stove outside, and looked outside again.
The sun was still hot outside, and the little duckling was lying under the courtyard wall, panting with its mouth open, while the little milk dog was lying at the door, squinting and looking at himself, and his tail would not move a few times.
Knowing the sound, it became even more unbearable.
Yan Nian went back to the house and lay next to the two children, closed her eyes and wanted to be confused for a while, so that she could go up the mountain to work.
But this one closed his eyes and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, Yan Nian was woken up by a small sound, hurriedly opened his eyes, and saw Yanyan lying in his arms beside him, Xiao Nuo didn't know where he went.
Yan Nian hurriedly hugged her daughter and patted her lightly a few times, "Where's my brother?" ”
Xiao Yanyan raised her eyes to look at her mother, and when she saw that her mother was awake, she hurriedly reached out and pinched her mother's mouth, and said with a smile: "My brother is reading a book in the outhouse." ”
Yan Nian kissed her daughter's little face gently, "Why don't you call your mother?" What time is it? After saying that, he got up and put on his shoes.
Looking at his son's attentive writing, Yan Nian was very happy in his heart, his efforts were really not in vain.
Seeing that his mother picked up the sickle again, he felt the broken hat and walked outside, and hurriedly said: "Mother, otherwise I will go to work in the mountains with you, you are very tired alone." ”
Yan Nian hurriedly turned around and walked to his son's side, squatted down and kissed Nuo Nuo's forehead, "Son, it's okay to take care of your sister at home, and my mother can do it herself." ”
Yan Nian walked out of the courtyard and went straight to the mountain.
It won't be that hot, and the villagers are walking around outside.
Yan Nian walked directly to the mountain in one breath, and when Yan Nian raised his hand to wipe his sweat, Brother Huai came out of the forest, "Why did you come?" I thought you were suffering from heat stroke again? ”
"Can you say something auspicious?" Yan Nian glared at Brother Huai, thinking that this guy came strangely early.
Brother Huai said seriously: "Really, if you don't come after a while, I really want to go to your house to see you." ”
Yan Nian didn't answer, and walked directly into the forest.
Brother Huai also followed behind Yan Nian and said, "Where did you plant fruit trees?" ”
Yan Nian pointed to the col in front of him, "It's right there, there is a spring over there, and it is convenient to water the fruit trees after planting." ”
The two men walked one after the other towards the col.
Coming to the spring, Yan Nian stopped, held the water and drank a few sips, "It's so cool!" Yan Nian said after drinking.
Brother Huai also leaned over to the spring and took a sip, "Well, it's quite cold." Without waiting for Brother Huai to finish speaking, he saw that Yan Nian had already walked down.
Looking at the mountains that had been taken care of by Brother Huai, Yan Nian was shocked, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Brother Huai, "You got it?" ”
Brother Huai nodded, "I didn't get it, could it be that the gods came to help you?" He grinned again.
Yan Nian shook his head and looked at the mountain, and said loudly: "Brother Huai, Yan Nian is really grateful to you for helping me so much." ”
Brother Huai was just about to speak, and heard Yan Nian say: "However, you always help me like this, Yan Nian really can't stand it, don't do this in the future, I don't have any money to pay you for your work, you still have to think about how to marry your mother-in-law home." ”
Yan Nian's polite refusal made Brother Huai speechless for a while, and Nuo Nuo said: "This person, it's not good to help you!" What a thankless effort! ”
Brother Huai didn't want Yan Nian to suffer like this alone, but Yan Nian still didn't appreciate it, and he was actually angry with himself, which made him speechless for a while, standing silently in place, watching Yan Nian busy transporting the small stones he had picked up just now to the spring.
Brother Huai turned around and laid the stones on the ground next to the spring, one by one.
Looking at Brother Huai, who was silently working for himself, Yan Nian stood up and said softly: "Brother Huai, today I respectfully call you brother, which means that our relationship is just brother and sister relationship, and your kindness to my sister will always be remembered by Yan Nian." Saying that, Yan Nian reached out and touched his heart.
Brother Huai listened to Yan Nian's straightforward words of admonition to himself, and understood in his heart that everything he had done could only be exchanged for Yan Nian's advice, and he felt colder than the mountain spring water he drank just now.
But what can I do with this woman? Xiaowei is still waiting for herself to marry, and her mother is even more anxious to hold her grandson.
What he can give Yan Nian now is just a gesture.
Thinking of this, Brother Huai got up and said with a smile: "Look at you woman, you are not happy to help you work, I am not for the sake of Nuo Nuo and Yanyan, I will not help you work!" A woman like you is very boring! ”
After speaking, he got up to leave, and heard Yan Nian say: "That's right, I'm such an uninteresting person, and I still let you suffer like this, it's really my Yan Nian's sin!" I'm sorry! ”
Hearing Yan Nian say this, Brother Huai stared at him and didn't know what to say.
Seeing that Yan Nian was almost cleaned up here, Yan Nian was so hostile to himself again, Brother Huai packed up his belongings and walked to his own wasteland.
Yan Nian looked at the stone fence built by Brother Huai next to the spring, nodded silently, and thought, this Brother Huai's craftsmanship is really ingenious. Yan Nian remembered again that Nuo Nuo was going to build a stove outside.
It is impossible for him to find Brother Huai to help him build the stove, last time Brother Huai helped him build a chicken frame and duck shed, and Li Lianhe almost didn't die at home.
Think about it, don't open your mouth, and think about it yourself.
Since it was Brother Huai who helped him take care of the wasteland, he simply found some more mushrooms around here to go home.
Yan Nian was holding a sickle and pulling the grass beside him, while looking for mushrooms.
But this time there was nothing, and the tired Yan Nian sat under the big tree to rest.
At this time, I saw Liu Shuangling walking up from the bottom of the mountain, carrying a basket on her arm. Seeing Yan Nian sitting under the tree, he was a little embarrassed.
While coughing awkwardly, he asked, "Third daughter-in-law, why are you sitting here?" ”
Yan Nian got up and patted him and said, "Eldest sister, you're here, I'm a little tired, just sit down and rest, I've searched all over the forest in my house, and there are no mushrooms." ”
Liu Shuangling hurriedly said: "Look at it, I forgot that this woodland is your Yan Nian's now." ”
Yan Nian heard the eldest sister speak like this, and remembered that she went to the house to borrow money last night, and hurriedly said: "Look at what the eldest sister said, although this forest was rented by Yan Nian, but it can't help but let people go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, sister, even if you find it, I'm also a little tired, and I'm going home." ”
Liu Shuangling saw that Mina took home a lot of mushrooms with weeds, and she also thought about going up the mountain to collect more, drying them and taking them home to stew meat for her son.
But the mother didn't let Mina leave the house, and slapped Mina a few times, which will be angry at home with her cheeks lying on the kang. The eldest nephew was carried back to the upper room by his mother, and he didn't want Mina to see his brother again.
The second sister-in-law is not yet full moon, and she can't come out, so she can only go this way with guts, thinking, if she really meets Yan Nian, she will also be a companion. However, it was encountered, but Yan Nian was about to go home in a hurry, which made Liu Shuangling a little flustered.
