Zhou Weiji and the three of them set off to cut bamboo after dinner, not to mention, Lan Yi took the two children to take a nap as usual, this has been a habit for many years, although Yu'er is now in school, but Yixue leaves school at noon, and Shen enters school, and the noon time is very long, which is completely enough for them to rest at noon.

The new house is spacious and bright, the mother and son are lying side by side on the kang looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, listening to the long cicada singing, and the mood is very happy.

Yu'er turned over and lay beside her mother, "Mother, you said that we are still hanging a tent and a bamboo bed under the plane tree in the middle courtyard?" "Next to the well in Zhou Weiji's courtyard, there is a tall plane tree, with lush branches, which grows better than the old locust tree in Lan Yi's west courtyard. Under the plane tree, Zhou Weiji placed a slippery recliner on it, on which he used to lie and rest.

Wen Xuan also turned over and looked at his mother, both of them like to lie under the tree and blow the wind and watch the clouds and listen to the birds, these days the mother does not let them go back to the west courtyard, there is no bamboo bed and stone bench in the middle courtyard.

Lan Yi smiled and stretched out her hand to hold the two of them in her arms, and discussed, "Daddy and mother will take you back to the door the day after tomorrow and go to the second uncle's house for dinner, and then we will open a small door on the courtyard wall of the west courtyard like the east courtyard, and it will be convenient to go back and forth." You two think, wouldn't it be a waste to put another bamboo bed? ”

The two children began to think, Wen Xuan put his little finger in his mouth and gnawed, and then gestured excitedly, "That mother said, what is under the plane tree?" The big paulownia tree is so big that I can't even hold it. ”

Yu'er seriously educated her younger brother, "You have little arms and legs, it's strange that you can hug it!" Didn't my mother say that trees have annual rings that grow once a year, and the big tree has been around for many years. You're only four years old. ”

Wen Xuan was very taught, looked at his little fat arm, frowned and asked. "Brother, can you bring it over?"

Yu'er nodded proudly, "Daddy can, he's bigger than a tree, and I'll be able to do it in two years." Isn't that right, mother? ”

Lan Yi's face was full of black lines, because the sycamore could attract phoenixes in the eyes of the Great Zhou people. Therefore, many people plant one or two plants in their yards, in order to attract auspicious Rui, Zhou Weiji's family. I'm afraid it's been hundreds of years, and Zhou Weiji is only a grandchild compared to it.

"Whether your dad can bring it over or not, I don't know, when dad comes back, you can take him to try. But Daddy was only twenty-six years old. Not as old as the sycamore tree. How to count the rings of a tree. Do you remember? ”

The two children sat up and said, "I know, I know, count the circles." ”

Lan Yi nodded, "So, let's count the circle of the sycamore tree to know how old it is." But the trees weren't cut down, and we couldn't count the circles. What to do? ”

Wen Xuan began to tilt his head and bite his fingers again, and Yu'er thought for a moment and replied, "Mother." Someone must have planted this tree, so we can ask Dad who planted it. Then ask the man when he planted it, is that okay? ”

Wen Xuan also looked at his mother when he heard this, waiting for her to answer. Lan Yi nodded and praised Yu'er and said, "Yu'er is right, let's ask when Daddy comes back, and we can also discuss whether to put a bamboo bed in the yard, okay?" ”

She hopes that the family can sit down and discuss anything and form good communication habits, which is a necessary condition for building a harmonious family. The last thing she wants to see is that everyone keeps their words in their hearts, especially Zhou Weiji, he only talks more in front of him, and communicates much less with other people in the family, which always makes Lan Yi feel that he is a lone leopard in the mountains.

Yu'er nodded with a sunny face, and suddenly he thought of something, frowned and whispered in his mother's ear: "Mother, Daddy is injured." He had two cuts on his back, and a bloody scar, I saw it when I was wetting, but my father wouldn't let me tell my mother. ”

Lan Yi frowned when he heard this, he was injured, what happened? I didn't see him inconvenient yesterday night. Two cuts, is it possible, yes, I was scratched by myself?! Lan Yi's face turned red instantly.

Wen Xuan also came over and said anxiously, "Brother, I want to listen too, I want to listen too." ”

Yu'er shook her head at him: "Adult's business, brother, you are still a child, what do you ask!" ”

Lan Yi coughed lightly, "Yu'er, don't worry, Daddy is fine." Come, Wenxuan, let's lie down and sleep, your brother should go to school later. ”

In the evening, Zhou Weiji and Su Yongshen came back. Su Yongshen rode a donkey, Zhou Weiji pulled the sunspot and carried two baskets of bamboo, and Dao Wufeng pulled his white horse with a few thin bamboos.

The horse of the sunspot is also strange, it is obviously pitch black without a little white hair, but it prefers white horses very much, a few days ago against Li Jingang's white horse Liuharazi, today with the bladeless white horse closer. Lan Yi looked at its flattering appearance, and really wanted to go up and kick its feet, this sunspot encountered beauty, and it was really too subtle!

"Daughter-in-law, let's come back." Zhou Wei saw Lan Yi wrapping his head in a silk handkerchief, smiled cutely, and hurriedly said hello.

Lan Yi put down the wooden basin and patted her apron with her hand, "But it's hot, right?" There is mung bean paste in the well, and I will call you to relieve the heat. ”

With that, she neatly brought up the wooden barrel from the well, and in the wooden barrel was a clay pot of mung bean paste. Although there is no refrigerator here, the well is an excellent substitute, and the leftovers of meat and meals at home are hung in the well to prevent rats and heat.

The three of them unloaded their things, and after a short cleaning, they drank a large bowl of cold mung bean paste. Zhou Weiji sighed: "Daughter-in-law, this thing is really a summer relief, let's keep the mung beans we planted this year and drink it, right?" ”

Lan Yi nodded, watching him move freely, thinking that the injury on his back should be fine. He likes to call himself "daughter-in-law", and wants to show their relationship everywhere, and she follows him like this, at least better than the "mother-in-law" often called by the people in the village.

"Good. This year, I planted mung beans in the two acres of slope land in the south of the village, and I will go to see it tomorrow, and I can harvest a few hundreds. "Lan Yicheng has been busy working for the past few days, and before he has time to go down to the field to pick mung beans, he is afraid that they will explode in the ground and not be able to pick them up. She is also a hard worker, and she has long thought about going to the field.

"Daughter-in-law, I'll go later, you rest at home." Zhou Weiji hurriedly took over the work.

Subsequently, Zhou Weiji began to sharpen bamboo cups, Su Yongshen sat aside with a knife and carved on the bamboo, and Dao Wufeng went to the west courtyard to plant bamboo. Su Yongshen is good at bamboo, and when he saw that the size of the bamboo was suitable for planting in the yard, he asked him to dig up a few plants, and planned to plant them in front of the study, and he could also listen to the rustle of bamboo leaves every day. He originally lived in Bianguan, and it was difficult for the bitter cold bamboo in Bianguan to survive, but he still planted a few cold-resistant swallow bamboos in his courtyard, and his wife was diligent in nursing when she was alive, and the bamboo grew very well, which was very rare.

Later, on the day of the city's destruction, foreign bandits entered the city to burn, kill and loot, and his home was also destroyed in ashes, and Su Yongshen has not planted bamboo since then. Therefore, on this trip, he offered to transplant a few bamboos into the garden, and Zhou Weiji and Dao Wufeng were extremely happy to hear it. This at least shows that Su Yongshen has rekindled his interest in life.

The main dish for dinner is bamboo tube rice, and the dishes are sliced sour bamboo shoots and meat, tomatoes and eggs, steamed eggplant puree and cold salad with a little melon, the dishes are very large, and five adults and two children are enough to eat. After the meal, Jia Shi and Lan Yi took advantage of the sunset to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Su Yongshen and the others sat in the courtyard to discuss the placement of the courtyard, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Su Yongshen thought about the delicacy of the bamboo forest in the future, "Why don't you move a few more young bamboos from the bamboo forest to the window of the east wing of this courtyard, the wind shakes the green bamboo, and its sound is Xiaoxiao, which can add a little bit of poetry. ”

Zhou Wei responded, "Big brother is right, I'll dig a few more and come back, but the bamboo in this mountain is average, I heard that there are bamboo branches that are red bamboo, and there are plants in large families, we haven't seen them." ”

Yu'er heard that Su Fuzi wanted to plant bamboo, and begged, "My mother taught me the poetry of bamboo, I still remember it." Xie Ting parted, and the scenery was sorrowful. The guests are scattered in the blue sky and the moon, and the mountains and clear water flow. Pond flowers reflect the sun in spring, and the window bamboo sings in autumn at night. The present and the ancient are connected, and the long song is nostalgic. "Dad, Yu'er also wants to 'shoot autumn at night', and plant a few in front of the Westinghouse, okay?" ”

In the West House of the West Courtyard, his mother has promised to make a study for him in the future, which is just used to plant bamboo.

Su Yongshen and Zhou Weiji looked at each other, both amazed by Yu'er's memory and comprehension.

Wen Xuan saw that his brother wanted to plant bamboo, and he also shouted to plant it, Zhou Weiji nodded: "If your mother agrees, your father will plant it for you." ”

The two children cheered and ran into the kitchen to find their mother's answer.

Zhou Wei looked at them extremely, his heart full of warmth.

Finally, I joined them, became their family, no longer an outsider, listened and imagined from the wall.
