Chapter 214: Receipt of a reply
On the ridge of the small field in the countryside, the cloud camellia is like an ordinary farmer, with his face facing the land and his back to the sky, he is busy in the field under the sun, but the others are planting green vegetables and cucumbers, and they are planting lotus roots.
"Brother, did you say that my sister received anything from us?"
Yun Le sat on the edge of the field, watching Yun Camelina bend over and busy working, the sun was very cracked, and the two brothers' already well-defined faces were reflected on the water, and Yun Camelina and Yun Le had opened up in the past few years.
And this field has a lush lotus leaf, and the brothers have taken good care of it.
Half of Yun Le's calf was soaked in the water, swinging and swinging, causing ripples on the surface of the water, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
This piece of land is taken care of by the two brothers, I have to say that Lin Xiaomiao's advice is really very good, although she is not around now, but the two brothers still work together to take care of everything, and with the assistance of Fang Xiucai.
"It's been two days, and it's time to receive it." Yun Wei straightened up.
Under the sun, Yun Camelina's silhouette became more and more obvious, and his body was a lot stronger, as if he was already a young man, in the past few years, the height of him and Yun Le has also flown around, and Yun Camelina's height is already taller than Fang Xiucai.
When they were young, because they didn't eat well and didn't have enough nutrition, their cheeks were sunken, and now they ......
"Camelina, Yunle." Aunt Feng's voice came from a distance, and the two knew that it was time for dinner again.
Every day when they were working in the fields, Aunt Fang would prepare the dishes at home and bring them to them in a food box at noon.
Over the years, since Lin Xiaomiao left, the two have lived with Fang Xiucai and Aunt Fang, and Fang Xiucai and Aunt Fang have treated them as if they were their own, which made both of them feel the long-lost family affection.
Fang Xiucai sometimes taught the two of them to read, Yun Le was babbling at first, and his hands were unsteady, but Fang Xiucai still had the rare patience to teach little by little.
And Yun Camelina is older than Yun Le, he can learn much faster, but the children in this township are all wild, and suddenly ask them to calm down and study, which is very difficult, Yun Camelina knows that he wants to help Lin Xiaomiao, so he forcibly pressed down the restlessness, concentrated on writing, and the obsession in his heart made him persist in studying so far.
Lin Xiaomiao is far away in Beijing, and they know that it is not easy for her to come back, after all, she is married and follows her husband, and the two can only write to her from time to time, and the speed of this letter is a little slow and unstable, and the two often look forward to it at home.
Aunt Fang is a warm-hearted person, but she and Fang Xiucai have never had children, and they have always looked forward to having them, but there is no fate until now, and the appearance of Yun Camelina and Yun Le is to fill the regret in her heart, so she treats Yun Camelina and Yun Le as if they were her own children.
On weekdays, the three meals of the two were prepared by Aunt Fang, and in the past, the four of them sat at the square table together to eat, and after so many years, both of them have become accustomed to this taste.
When Yun Camel and Yun Le went down to the field, Aunt Fang brought it to the field with a food box.
Of course, there are not any expensive ingredients in this food box, just some home-cooked dishes and steamed buns.
But these homely meals are already very delicious for them, when they were young, their parents died early, their brother was paralyzed early, and their sister-in-law treated them harshly, and they never had a normal homely meal, and since Lin Xiaomiao seemed to be a different person, their lives have improved.
When Yun Le saw Aunt Fang coming, he immediately pulled out his little feet from the field, and regardless of the mud on it, he walked towards Aunt Fang like joy.
"Let's eat!" Yun Le was very happy, and Yun Qi slowly walked from the field towards the dry soil.
Both of them miss Lin Xiaomiao very much, although their lives are very good now, but Lin Xiaomiao, as their sister, is not around, and they still have some regrets.
The two brothers very much hope that Lin Xiaomiao can live with them, but they also know that their sister has her own life, after all, she married her husband, and the man Yuntai married is still the son of the world, and she can't go out of the house casually, so naturally she can't go back to the countryside casually.
No one thought that the blind man she married would have something to do with the royal family, this is simply a step to the sky!
Yun Le was very happy about this, and felt that his sister had a home, but Yun Le was very worried about Lin Xiaomiao.
After all, some time ago, there were rumors in various places that His Royal Highness the Prince had married the Lord of Jinyu County as his concubine. His Royal Highness is the blind man Lin Xiaomiao married at the beginning. And the county lord of Jinyu is the emperor's youngest daughter, and it is rumored that her temper is very bad.
Yun Ma was very worried about whether Lin Xiaomiao would be able to cope with it, although the letters sent back by Lin Xiaomiao were always written with the word peace, but he always felt in his heart that Lin Xiaomiao's words revealed a sense of loneliness.
Yun Le helped Aunt Fang take out today's lunch from the food box, today's is fried lotus root slices and some vegetables grown by Aunt Fang herself, with thick steamed buns and two eggs, in ordinary farmers, this egg is very precious, after all, this chicken can't lay a few eggs a month, and this egg has to be taken to the town to exchange money later.
And Yun Camelina and Yun Le can each eat one per meal, thanks to this acre of lotus root field.
The lotus root is very difficult to raise, and the seeds of this thing are very expensive, ordinary people will not take the risk to raise it, no one in the farm raises this thing because no one is willing to take that risk, and Lin Xiaomiao's idea is different, the more this thing that no one raises, the higher the value.
Although it was risky, Lin Xiaomiao had read books about planting lotus roots, and went to investigate the price of lotus roots on the market, and it cost five yuan a catty, so he thought about asking his younger brothers to raise lotus roots.
Besides, the few acres of land at home are not suitable for planting other vegetables at all, if it becomes a paddy field to raise lotus roots, then it can be regarded as a way out, originally Aunt Fang did not approve of Lin Xiaomiao's idea, because the two brothers need a stable livelihood, and lotus roots are too risky.
But the two brothers were willing to give it a try, and at their insistence, Aunt Fang relented, and the paddy field was completed.
At first, Aunt Fang came to see it every day because she was worried, after all, the price of lotus root seeds was expensive, and no one had tried the method given by Lin Xiaomiao, so she didn't know if it was reliable.
And she gradually discovered that the lotus root had been miraculously fed under the care of the two brothers, and that the lotus leaves had grown lush and green.
No one else had it, and when the two brothers first brought it to the town to sell, many people didn't know what it was.
Yun Camelina and Yun Le were very proud, after some explanation, everyone knew that this thing was a lotus root, although the price was scary, but many people had never eaten it, and they were willing to buy a section and go back to try, and the lotus root that was pulled to the town was quickly sold out.
The two of them got a large amount of money, but they didn't dare to use it indiscriminately, and they handed over all this large amount of money to Aunt Fang.
Because Aunt Fang needs to spend a lot of money to raise them, Yun Ma and Yun Le eat a lot when they are growing up, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation for the two brothers to each other's family.
Aunt Fang was very surprised, she found that this thing can really be sold for money, Yun Camelina pulled a lotus root from the field, and that night Aunt Fang fried it according to the recipe she dictated, her craftsmanship is not as good as Lin Xiaomiao, but this lotus root is delicious.
got the money given to her by Yun Camelina, and only said that she was helping the two brothers collect it, and she would have to return it to the two of them in the future.
Spring goes to winter, and this lotus root has also brought a lot of income to Yun Camelina Yunle, which is already a lot of money.
The Fang family's life was happier than before.
Aunt Fang put down the food box, and then took out a letter from her arms, Yun Ma and Yun Le were very happy, because it was Lin Xiaomiao who would send them the letter.
"Sister has sent a letter." Aunt Fang knew that Yun Ling Yunle was most concerned about her, so she sent the letter as soon as possible, seeing that the two brothers were so happy, Aunt Fang was also happy.
Yun Ma immediately wiped his muddy hands, and then immediately took the letter, as if he had uncovered something as precious as something valuable, he carefully held it in his hand, and looked back and forth at the handwriting on it, although it was a little crooked, but it was really sent to them by Lin Xiaomiao.
They only sent the lotus root over two days ago, but they didn't expect to receive Lin Xiaomiao's reply so quickly, Yun Le hadn't recognized all the words, so he came to Yun Camelina's side, poked his head and urged this Yun Camelina to read it out.
"Yun Chu, Yun Le, I don't know how you are doing, Aunt Fang and Mr. Fang are okay? The lotus root must have grown a lot, I really want to see it with my own eyes, my sister has been doing well recently, and she has made a lot of dishes today, I really want you to taste it, I must find a way to see you, don't worry. ”
Yun Ma knew that Lin Xiaomiao had not yet controlled the force of writing calligraphy, and every time she wrote, she would tremble more and more, and her wrist would be out of force by the time she finally wrote the letter, so she tried to write as short as possible every time.
Yun Ma and Yun Le read back and forth many times, and Aunt Fang next to them quietly wiped her tears.
Aunt Fang also missed her very much, and every time the content of the letter would ask her if she and her husband were okay, which made Aunt Fang also very touched.
Yun Le held the thin piece of paper, Yun Camelina taught him to recognize the words on it, when Yun Le received the letter, the smile on his face couldn't be contained, he carefully folded the letter, ready to stuff it under his pillow.
He had already put several such letters under his pillow, and every time Lin Xiaomiao's letter was folded, he then stuffed it under the pillow, so that it seemed that Lin Xiaomiao was accompanying him.
Yun Le didn't read anything unusual, but Yun Camel read out a trace of other flavors.
Looking for a way to see them? Why do you want to find a way?
Yun thought about these words repeatedly.
Could it be that my sister is in captivity?
He couldn't stop the conjecture in his mind......
