After waking up, Lan Yi also felt that the moisture in the air was thick, and it seemed that a heavy rain was brewing. She cleaned up the house, and the goats grazing on the hillside east of the village were also brought back into the sheep shed, and the five little white geese in the family seemed to know that it was going to rain, so they came back early from the stream and took a nap under the tree.

Yu'er went to the cow's house next door to play, Lan Yi cleaned up the herbs and wild vegetables that had been dried in the yard for the past few days, and the baby sat obediently on the straw mat and watched her mother clean up her things.

"Baby, let's drink porridge at night, okay?"

"Okay." The baby returns unclearly. He can only say a few words now, such as "mother", "brother", "flower", "drink", "baa", "ride", etc., all of which are related to his preferences, Lan Yi and Yu'er can already understand what he wants to express. Children's intellectual development is an important thing, and Lan Yi often guides him to think or talk.

"What kind of food does the mother's good baby want to eat? Eggs or meat? ”

"Single." The baby pouted with a chubby face, and he could understand.

"Okay, let's eat steamed eggs. The mother waits for the baby to walk, takes the baby to the woods, picks fruits to eat, okay? ”

"Eat." The baby has no way to say too long sentences, although the mother speaks slowly, but he only hears the food.

"Yes. It's autumn in a few days, think about it, the peach in the mountains should be ripe, right? My mother wants to pick some dried fruits and save them, for you and my brother to eat in winter, walnuts, chestnuts and the like must be there, others such as hazelnuts I don't know if there is, hawthorn trees have my mother saw ......"

Lan Yi pondered to herself as she spoke, wintering is a big problem, there is no heating, no air conditioning, no green vegetables, and she still has a lot of things to prepare.

"Mother, mother." Seeing that his mother ignored him, the baby waved his little fat hand unhappily.

"Mother, hehe, baby, where are our chickens?"

"Ahh The baby turned his little head and excitedly pointed to the chicks in the yard looking for food.

"Awesome baby, what's our goat?"

"Ahh The baby pointed to the sheepfold and shouted.

Lan Yi nodded with a sense of accomplishment, "The baby is awesome, it's really a good boy for my mother." ”

"Mother, I'm back. Baa and the donkey are lying down and don't eat grass, mother, do you say they are sick? Yu'er opened the door and ran in, and poured the grass from the small basket to the goat. He also remembered to go out to play and should come back to fetch some grass to feed the live animals, in fact, since Lan Yi circled the hillside, the goats and donkeys ate grass directly on the hillside, and only two little black pigs didn't need to beat much pigweed, but Yu'er felt that he was a big child and should help his mother and relatives do housework together.

"Yes. Baa and donkeys don't lie down, they call it lying down like that. You see they put their legs under their bodies, right? They're tired of eating, so they're resting. Lan Yi patiently corrected Yu'er's statement, he is now five years old, and he is four years old, and he should go to kindergarten to learn knowledge in modern times, Lan Yi began to teach him to understand things and establish correct concepts step by step.

"Well, it's lying down. Mother, let's lie on the kang and sleep, disappear under the body, called lying down. Yu'er was very clever and shouted happily.

"Well, it's lying down." However, thinking of her posture with that of a donkey and a sheep, Lan Yi's face was still full of black lines.

"Pigs! You have two holes in your nose, and you still have snot hanging on when you are sick. Pig! You have dark eyes, and you can't see the edge when you look at it. Pig! Your ears are so big that you can't hear me calling you stupid. Pig! Your tail is curled and curled, and it turns out that you can't do without it for running and jumping. Oh~~~" Yu'er sang happily, this song was taught to him by Lan Yi a few days ago, Yu'er liked it very much, and now it has spread all over Beigou Village, and it is very popular with friends.

Lan Yi and the baby also clapped and hummed together, and the family of three was happy.

In the east courtyard separated by a wall, the wild grass in the courtyard has been removed, and it is even more empty. Under the dense plane tree by the well, one was lying on a reclining chair, resting with his eyes closed, and this person was Zhou Weiji.

Yu'er's childlike singing voice came, and he stretched his eyebrows and smiled. He hadn't met Lan Yi much, but he felt very familiar with this little woman, her soft voice when she coaxed the child, and the proud words when she made delicious meals, all of which were imprinted in his ears, which made him know that although the little woman next door looked cold in front of outsiders, she was indeed very loving and gentle with her child.

It seems that every time he comes back from the yamen and lies here, only listening to their voices and movements, he feels that this desolate courtyard has become popular and has a sense of home. Gradually, these sounds replaced the sound of the Jin Ge Iron Horse war drums, helping him to sleep and sleep well.

Lan Yi didn't know that the three of them had become someone else's lullaby, so she sorted out the wild chrysanthemums dried at home and put them into the pillow core to make chrysanthemum pillows. A few days ago, she made buckwheat husk pillows for her two children, and the buckwheat husk pillows are moderately soft and hard, which is very suitable for children, but she herself has been sleeping with her clothes on her pillows. It's not that there aren't enough buckwheat husks, but the feelings of the youngest daughter, who have long dreamed of using wild chrysanthemums as pillows and sleeping in the fragrance of flowers. Now that there are wildflowers all over the mountains, she naturally wants to make one for herself, if it is not for the chrysanthemum pillow is too soft and not suitable for children, she will definitely replace it with a chrysanthemum pillow for the two children.

Speaking of which, Lan Yi is a person who pays attention to the quality of life, so he will pay attention to these details. Since she wants to live, she must make her life comfortable and happy, even if she travels to this backward ancient time, she tries her best.

Before it rained, Lan Yi led the little donkey to her hillside to collect firewood. When she bought the hillside, she axed down the bushes and exposed them to the sun to turn them into firewood. She tidied up the half-dried firewood and the original dead branches on the hillside with straw ropes, and let the donkey carry it home and put it in the corner of the kitchen, in case the dry wood was broken when it rained. She is also now deliberately accumulating firewood for the winter, after all, it costs a lot to heat in winter.

There were also many women in the village collecting firewood, and when they saw Lan Yi carrying firewood with a donkey, they smiled and said that it was a good idea. Lan Yi is also very satisfied with the donkey, although it is small, but its strength is definitely not small, its temper is very gentle, it is familiar with human nature, and it is much more convenient to have it to pick and carry it on her behalf.

That night, it rained, and the rumbling thunder brought the rain away from the heat and scared the baby. Lan Yi closed the window and patted him lightly, she was also a little timid, she was worried about the house leaking, worried about the landslide, and even worried about whether the thunderstorm would hit the big locust tree in the yard.

"This kind of weather can be regarded as thunder, right? Persuade people not to be vain, not to have unrealistic ideas, and not to act rashly. When the rain is heavy, it should be a sign of the double water divination and the moon in the water; Then the rain stopped, the water was on the ground, and the hexagram changed again..."Lan Yi silently diverted his attention, distracted himself, and looked at the rain curtain in the sky. She remembers a modern poet who said that rain is the most magical thing, that it connects heaven and earth that never meet, that it gathers scattered droplets into rivers that flow into the sea, that it goes deep into the earth to nourish all things, that it washes away the dust and makes the world pure.

The world in her mind changed, the wind and rain came and went, and she entered a state of unrestrained reverie, and when she reacted, the sound of rain outside the window had become faint, and the baby was asleep in her arms.

The rain was widespread, and Meixian, thousands of miles away, was also in the rain.

In a small courtyard in Meixian County, the flickering lights shine through the window screens and through the rain curtains, revealing two figures in the house.

"How? Haven't you been summoned yet? Two business-looking men sat on the kang across the kang table, a dim oil lamp, a plate of snacks, and two pots of old wine, and the two of them were already in a trance.

"No, I heard that the second master sent someone to think about ......" The man who spoke stretched out his palm and slashed down diagonally, "But the old lady of the big house somehow found Mixian Cheng, the father and son saved their lives and almost became wasters." ”

"I didn't expect the second master to look like a humble gentleman on weekdays, and he was so ruthless in doing things." The other man gritted his teeth, "What are we going to do?" ”

"Mrs. and the little young master didn't rush to Huang County, I'm afraid it's more than lucky. We bit the token to death, no matter how ruthless the second master is, he will not dare to mess with the rules of the business. The older merchant had a resolute face.

"Big brother, I heard that the Wang family's money-making business has changed to the second master's cronies, and it's not a way for us to carry it hard. Why don't we secretly slow down the business, or change the name? ”

"This matter has to be discussed with the shopkeeper Tian, we should not make a big move, in short, we have to hold on, wait for the news of the little young master." The eldest brother's face was heavy, "I specially asked Mr. Lan to divinate the hexagram, the little young master has the help of nobles, he is safe and sound, and this situation can be broken." ”

"But that Mr. Lan?" The man asked, surprised.

"Not bad."

"In that case, I am relieved. It's just that I don't know where the little master is now? Let's send someone to find it. ”

"Mr. Lan only said that in the north, let's not act rashly, although there are fewer people watching now, but those pairs of eyes are staring at it." The man shook his head, raised the flask, and the two drank silently.

"I said the second master, the slave is not a restaurant here, you two only drink and ignore the slave, it's really hurtful." A graceful figure appeared in the back room, and the fiery red pomegranate skirt was as filthy as blood under the light, coupled with the soul-seducing voice, which suddenly added a little bit to this rainy night.

The two men were unmoved, and after one glance at her, they raised the flask again and drank it all.
