This night, Lan Yi slept unsteadily, and woke up when the morning light in the east was faint.

The fresh air of the mountains blends into the old atmosphere of the old house, and the chirping birds on the old locust tree in the courtyard and the slight breathing of the two children blend harmoniously, harmonious and quiet. Lan Yi smiled, how good it would be if life could be so peaceful and dull all the time!

"The village dwelling is really gratifying, and it touches the subject of poetry." Lan Yi stretched her waist and sighed, and touched the little red spots on her neck and arms that were bitten by mosquitoes, "Mosquitoes everywhere are annoying, troublesome." ”

I didn't sleep well yesterday, first, because I was worried about safety, and second, because the house was full of mosquitoes. Coming back from Meixian all the way, there are mosquito repellent curtains in the inn rooms, and the curtains can be put down at night to isolate mosquitoes. Now that there is no curtain, the two mosquito repellent sachets Lan Yi bought on the road are not very effective in repelling mosquitoes, so she has to wave her arms to repel mosquitoes for her two children. Mosquito bites transmit many diseases, and the consequences of illness in a place where there is a shortage of medical care and medicine can be unimaginable.

Taking advantage of the bright light at this time, Lan Yi sorted out the salute she brought back and the things she bought yesterday, went to the kitchen to cook two white flour cakes with white flour, and pulled a few spinach plants from the yard and scalded them with hot water. The vegetables in this yard were planted by the Liu family, Lan Yi didn't want to move when she thought of her face, but she hadn't had time to prepare vegetables, breakfast nutrition was important, if she asked about it, give her a few pennies.

The children slept well yesterday, and they woke up at the sound of the rooster, and the three of them ate breakfast at the low table in the kitchen, and of course, drank some goat's milk.

After the meal, Lan Yi cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and took the children to the south side of the yard to watch the goats. The baby is already familiar with the goat, and he is about to scratch it with his little fat hand and twist his body.

Lan Yi helped the baby and asked him to touch the goat's head, and Yu'er also reached out to touch it, looking cautious, but her eyes flashed with happiness.

"Yu'er, you say, give the goat a name, okay?" Lan Yi suddenly had a whim and asked.

Yu'er nodded, and Lan Yi asked him to call it whatever he wanted. Yu'er was silent for a moment, and then whispered, "Baa." ”

Lan Yi happily boasted: "This name is good, the image is appropriate, our goat will be called Baa Baa in the future." Baa, hello, remember the name Yu'er gave you, and you will have to agree to call you in the future. ”

Yu'er couldn't help but crack his mouth and smile, his condition today is better than yesterday.

After the baa grass was eaten, Lan Yi and the three of them took the basket to the edge of the village to collect grass. Now that the sky is bright, the people in the village are busy working in the field, Liu is holding the child and a few women sitting under the tree and chatting, and when he sees Lan Yi, he shouts happily, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?" ”

Lan Yi saw her with a smile on her face, and didn't know what good things had happened, so she walked over and took the child to greet a few people: "Third brother and sister, go and get some forage for the goats at home." ”

"Sister-in-law is really diligent, this sheep is worth your family to come out to grass." Liu was still smiling, his eyes were raised, and he took the initiative to say, "Let Yu'er and the baby play with me here, and my sister-in-law will go alone." ”

Yu'er listened and quickly grabbed Lan Yi's clothes, he didn't like Liu's loud voice, besides, he still remembered Liu's words yesterday.

"No, the third brother and sister have three niuniu, and it's not convenient to take care of them." Lan Yi refused with a smile, although she didn't know what was going on with the Liu family, but she didn't feel at ease about taking care of the child Lan Yi.

"Sister-in-law Wang, you won't leave when you come back this time, and you have been living in the village?" A tall woman in her twenties beside Liu Shi asked curiously when she saw Lan Yi's easy-going face.

"Yes. That's what I plan, and I ask you to take care of it in the future. Lan Yi nodded and said.

"Hehe, sister-in-law Wang, your accent is so good, it's a lot softer than ours." The tall woman said enviously. Lan Yi's accent is not the dialect of Meixian, the dialect of Meixian is a bit of a Shandong accent, Lan Yi followed Xia Wan and them all the way, and she can be regarded as learning a few words, but she still speaks Mandarin, which can not be changed in a few days, and it can even be said that it is difficult to change in a lifetime.

"That's it, Sister-in-law Wang's little emphasis is matched with this small body, I really don't want to be a mother of two children." Another woman next to her also spoke, and she said that she also looked at Liu, and the two smiled very faintly.

"Third brother and sister, you chat, I'll take the child to grass first." Lan Yi turned and walked away, ignoring the muttering behind her.

"Yu'er, help my mother watch my brother, and my mother will bring some grass back." Lan Yi squatted down and handed the baby to Yu'er to lead, turned around and quickly pulled out a handful of grass and spread it on the ground, and spread a thick cloth sheet on the grass, letting the baby sit on the ground and play with his brother.

There is a lot of grass on the roadside, Lan Yi picked tender grass today, and soon hit a basket, the aroma of grass came to her face, making her feel very comfortable. After beating the grass eaten by the goats, Lan Yi found a lot of wormwood, and the wormwood repellent effect was still good.

Such green mountains, green waters, wheat fields, and yellow flowers reminded her of Xin Qiji's "Partridge Heaven", so she read softly: "Spring into the plain cauliflower, after the new ploughing rain, fall crows." The amorous white-haired spring is helpless, and the green curtain wine is easy to credit in the evening. Leisure, fine career, there is mulberry hemp on the west side of the bullpen. Whose daughter is in a green skirt, go to see the outside while the silkworm is alive. ”

Yu'er and the baby heard their mother's voice read in a frustrated voice, so they turned their heads to look at her curiously. Lan Yi smiled and read it again, but at this time it was no longer "Partridge Day", but an ancient poem that was more suitable for children to understand: "Leaving the grass on the plain, one year old and one withered." Wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate. Yu'er, do you like it, my mother will teach you later. ”

Yu'er nodded quickly when he heard this, he liked it very much and thought it was very nice to read. Lan Yi read it again, and Yu'er learned it with a very serious little mouth. Lan Yi has a sense of accomplishment, she was thinking of finding a small school to teach after graduating from graduate school, the environment is simple, the children are simple and studious, and the work must be very fulfilling.

Yu'er is the tenth birthday of the first month of March, and he is five years old this year, and it is time to start reading, Lan Yi plans to teach him basic knowledge and principles first, and then send him to a private school to study. Not to take the test for any champion, just to let him understand more truths, not to be blind, of course, for the baby, she also has the same idea.

Lan Yi smiled, if the days were tender and safe, how good it would be!

After collecting grass and feeding the sheep, Lan Yi spread the wormwood in the yard to dry, then locked the door and took the child to the market in the next village. It is said that it is okay to entrust the child to the care of the second aunt Li, but she is not sure that the surroundings are safe now, and the child naturally does not dare to let go.

When I went to yesterday's grocery store, Lan Yi bought two clay pots and other supplies, and then found the carpenter's house and ordered a bath bucket for bathing. She asked the grocery store owner about the lamp oil, only to know that the lamp oil here is actually vegetable oil, and rapeseed oil is used here, at that time, the lamp oil had more impurities, but the price was not cheap, a pound of oil was worth half a catty of pork, so the people in the village rarely lit the lamp if they had something.

Lan Yi bought vegetable seeds at the grocery store, all of which can be grown locally: loofahs, cucumbers, spinach, lentils, sword beans, eggplants, radish, lettuce, pumpkins, etc., and bought more or less of each, only spending 20 yuan, which is quite cheap. Of course, when she came back, she bought some spinach and lettuce as vegetables for the two days.

When the three of them returned home, Lan Yi turned over the vacant land in the vegetable garden with a shovel, divided it into small pieces and sprinkled the vegetable seeds for watering. She was born in the countryside and is no stranger to the fields, or she still has the basic knowledge of farming, and she is not afraid that the vegetable seeds will not grow.

After a brief lunch, Lan Yi took the children to take a nap. She didn't want to change her habit of eating three meals a day, thinking that it would be better for her child's physical development. She didn't take a long nap, and she woke up in about half an hour, which is a habit she has developed at school for many years, and the biological clock in her body plays a role. Lan Yi wiped the sweat from her forehead, and couldn't help but sigh that this is the fifteenth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, and the sky is gradually getting hotter.

Clothes, my family of three does not have summer shirts, and I have to start preparing. There were still some old clothes of Wang Linshan and his parents in the cabinet in the house, and Lan Yi packed them up and put them in the corner of the cabinet, and he couldn't move them, and he didn't want to move.

"It seems that buying fabrics to make clothes is a must, and ready-to-wear clothes are too expensive and not suitable. And the quilt, and be sure to buy a mosquito net, no, it's a curtain! Lan Yi calculated and found that there were really a lot of things to buy, "Buy the necessary ones first, no matter how many days it can live, these are all needed." ”

Waking up from a nap, Lan Yi went to the butcher shop in the village. Most of the villagers in Beigou build houses along a main east-west road in the village, and Lan Yi's house is in the northeast corner of the east end of the main road, but their row of houses is not facing the main road, but separated by a row of houses, which is a secluded place. Lan Yi passed by a shop selling meat on the road in the village several times in the past two days, and the big man who sold meat had a beard on his face, and he looked a little similar to the black whirlwind Li Kui, Lan Yi was very impressed.

The price of pork is very high, 50 wen for a pound of fat and 42 wen for lean meat. She chose a strip of pork belly with more than three catties of fat and thin, and took the child to her second uncle's house, which was counted as an official visit.

The second uncle and his two sons went to the field, Li and his two younger siblings were cleaning up the house at home, and when they saw Lan Yi carrying things over, the second aunt politely pushed a few words, and then asked Liu to take the meat and put it in the kitchen.

"Second aunt, you can also put down this tea and drink it, it's not a good thing, don't dislike it, second aunt." Lan Yi handed over a bag of tea leaves, this tea was bought on the road, and it was a welcome gift, but I didn't have a chance to take it out yesterday. Lan Yi bought three bags of tea to give away, this tea tastes good, the price is medium, the wooden box containing the tea is beautifully carved, Lan Yi feels that this tea packaging meets the standard of "high-end atmosphere and grade", and the gift can be regarded as handy.

"Bao'er, this thing is too valuable, you better keep it, maybe it will be useful in the future." The second aunt looked at the tea box in the bag, waved her hand and refused to accept it. Lan Yi came to bring a lot of pork, and she didn't dare to accept it if she sent tea again.

"Second aunt, I don't like to drink tea, and the children in the family are too young to drink it. You can keep it, it's good to have a guest, isn't it? "Since Lan Yi brought it, naturally she won't bring it back. Lan Yi felt that the second uncle's family still called themselves in a variety of ways, from "Lin Shan's daughter-in-law" to "his sister-in-law" to "Bao'er and his mother", and changed three times a day, this should be the common title here, the reason why the first one is not used is probably because after Lin Shan's death, this title is afraid of causing Lan Yi's sadness.

"Sister-in-law, where can we afford tea for hospitality here, most of them use boiled water, and better yet, grab a handful of sugar." Chen replied with a smile, she knew that her sister-in-law was not familiar with this rural matter, so she reminded her.

Chen's speech speed is slow, and his voice is much softer than Liu's, and his speech is much more pleasant to listen to, Lan Yi nodded at her: "Thank you second brother and sister, I am not familiar with the rules on our side, if there is anything inappropriate, please bear with the second aunt and younger siblings." Why didn't you see Daifuku? ”

The eldest girl of the Chen family was playing by herself in the yard, the Liu family was holding the second girl, and Lan Yi did not see the great fortune of the Chen family.

"It's crazy to run out, and he won't come back until he's hungry." Chen looked helpless.

"It's better for children to be lively, I think Dafu is sensible and well-behaved, and my younger siblings must worry a lot less."

Chen had a motherly smile on his face, looked at the baby Lan Yi was holding and Yu'er who was sitting obediently beside him, and said enviously: "The baby is still too young to see it, but Yu'er, this child looks more obedient and intimate than Dafu." ”

"He's still alive, and I'm trying to let Daifuku take him to play more, so that he can be more lively." Lan Yi smiled and patted Yu'er, "He is not familiar with the children in the village, and he has nowhere to play." ”

"Sister-in-law, how did Yu'er get this injury?" Liu Shi came out of the kitchen and asked as he looked at the two scratches and bruises on Yu'er's neck.
