Looking around, he saw several figures in the backyard, and he strode away.
Yan Huaiwen was already hungry, but suddenly, Yan Huaiwen paused.
After hesitating for a moment, he came closer.
It smells more real.
The stench is overwhelming, getting stronger the closer you get.
He held his breath and asked loudly: "What are you doing if you don't even take a break?"
Yan Yu sounded like Lao Yan and ran over first.
She held her little nose between her two wrapped hands, and her movements were very funny.
When he saw the person clearly, he shouted happily: "Uncle! You are back! Our whole family misses you!"
Li Xuemei smiled and shook her head.
She is such a girl! It’s not like Lao Yan returned home after traveling far away for a long time...
Yan Huaiwen curled up the corners of his lips. Although the word "death" was not used well, his niece was sincere and her joy could not be faked. He was very happy with it.
"Where are your dad and your eldest brother?"
He saw several people clearly, and Mrs. Rong was still there, but none of the men inside were missing.
"Uncle, dad and elder brother went to pull saplings. They are fruit saplings. They can bear plums and apricots. They are delicious! Just wait, I will get them for you." Yan Yu said and was about to run, but was walked over.
Da Ya holds on.
"If you have trouble with your hands, I'll get it for dad." Daya said softly.
Yan Yu looked at his two hands, chuckled, and forgot about it for a moment.
"What happened to the hands?" Yan Huaiwen saw it just now, stepped forward, gently raised his little niece's hands, and looked through them repeatedly.
"I grind it with a hoe. It's okay, uncle. I just broke some skin and will be fine in a few days." Yan Yu said with a smile.
She can act coquettishly and say it hurts, but Yan Yu is not a delicate girl at heart.
It was already painful, and she felt a wave of heartache from her parents. In Yan Yu's heart, this matter was over...
Yan Huaiwen looked at his little niece, and then at his daughter who was handing the apricot meat to him. His eyes fell on the gray and worn old clothes of the two people, with a bit of admiration in his eyes.
Helping the family share the burden, regardless of the hardship, Qianchu and Ruyu are both good.
He took the apricot flesh from his daughter's hand and put one in his mouth. It was indeed good.
"How many fruit seedlings did you buy? Where do you want to plant them?" Yan Huaiwen asked.
Yan Yu did not answer, but asked him thoughtfully: "Uncle, have you eaten?"
Yan Huaiwen slowly shook his head.
She looked very exaggerated and exclaimed: "It's so late and you haven't eaten yet. Uncle, are you hungry? Aunt Rong, are there any steamed buns at home?"
Grandma Rong shook her head.
Yan Yu thought to herself: That's right. The big buns stuffed with chives and meat are so delicious. How can there be any leftovers?
Aunt Rong made a few gestures, and Li Xuemei understood and explained to her: "Ms. Rong said she was going to cook noodles."
Yan Huaiwen said politely: "Thank you."
Grandma Rong waved her hands hurriedly, looking at a loss, and hurriedly ran away to prepare the meal.
I saw the uncle's eyes turning to the vegetable patch they had just surrounded.
Yan Yu simply said: "Aunt Rong knows how to clear the ground. We have just planted potatoes in the vegetable garden. After all the seeds are sown in our house, if there are any remaining seeds, they will be planted in the yard."
If you want to eat it, you can go to the backyard and pick it.
Uncle, please sit down and wait for a while, you’ll be ready after eating."
Daya brought him warm water.
After Yan Huaiwen washed up, he walked to the gap between the two rows of bricks with his clean robe and quickly changed out of his dirty clothes.
When he came out with the dirty clothes, Da Ya went up to him, took away her father's dirty clothes, and started washing them immediately without waiting for tomorrow.
Yan Huaiwen:......
There's no need to be in such a hurry.
After sitting down again, Yan Yu has begun to prepare for the report.
He cleared his throat and said: "Uncle, the ten acres of land by our river have been opened and the seeds have been sown. The ten acres of land near the village have also been planted. In the past two days, the five acres of land on the north side of the mountain have been planted.
Before we move, we need to clean up the land next to the woods. Dad said he doesn’t plan to grow vegetables, but wants to plant fruit trees.
The saplings don’t need to be taken care of too much. The fruits can be sold for money, and some vegetable seeds can also be sown among the fruit trees. We can eat them at home, feed our livestock, or sell them.”
Yan Huaiwen thought for a while and asked, "Does your father think there is not enough work at home?"
Yan Yu blinked and said: "Yes! There is too much land, so it is better to grow vegetables. In the future, we will be too busy to grow grains. My father is not willing to spend copper coins to find help. He said it would be the same as selling fruits and using money to buy grains."
"
Yan Huaiwen nodded slightly and said nothing more.
After knowing the reason why Tianyou planted fruit trees and knowing that he had a plan in mind and that it was not completely without rules, Yan Huaiwen put the matter aside.
"And uncle, dad has sold a lot of charcoal!" Yan Yu said with excitement: "The fruit seedling seller was introduced by my grandma who bought our charcoal."
While talking, Grandma Rong came over with the cooked noodles.
An ordinary soup noodle with two eggs lying on top and green vegetable leaves interspersed between the noodles.
Yan Huaiwen took a sip of soup first.
It warms my heart all the time.
Then he ate the bowl of noodles slowly but really quickly.
Seeing that his uncle was really hungry, Yan Yu closed his mouth.
When he put down the bowl, Yan Yu asked with concern: "Uncle, are you having a hard time in Huju City? Are you eating well? Where are you sleeping? The weather here in Guanzhou is much different from that in Qishan. During the day
It’s hot and cool at night, so we all cover ourselves with quilts at night. Are there any quilts where you live?”
Da Ya quickly hung up her father's clothes. When her sister asked, she hurried over and stared at him without blinking, waiting for his answer.
Yan Huaiwen waved to Daya, asked the two children to sit down, and said warmly: "The yamen has a dedicated person to cook and deliver it on time. It is still warm in our hands, with vegetables and meat. Every day at lunch, there will be an extra soup."
"
"The place where we stay at night is very suitable, and there is no shortage of bedding. If there is anything missing, you can borrow it temporarily from the people on duty nearby. Manshan and I also intend to get some for replacement when we come back this time."
When Da Ya heard this, she wanted to clean it up.
He was stopped by Yan Huaiwen and said: "There is no hurry at this moment."
"Dad! Everything is fine at home, you don't have to worry." Da Ya said softly.
Yan Huaiwen nodded slightly.
No one knows the inner turmoil.
On this empty land, their house only had its foundation.
They were sitting on brick stools and surrounded by brick tables.
The smell from the backyard seems to be drifting over, not as strong as it is nearby, but if it is faint and nonexistent, it is also very disturbing.
The night breeze was blowing and it was a bit chilly, but after just eating a bowl of hot noodle soup, he felt warm all over and even had some sweat on his forehead.
The younger siblings seemed to be more energetic than the previous few days. They thought it was easier because of Mrs. Rong's help.
The land at home opened up so quickly, which was beyond his expectation.
It's so late and the house is still busy.
Heng'er followed Tianyou to pull saplings, while Daya and Erya were still planting vegetables in the backyard.
The whole family is working hard for this little family.
So good...so good...
Yan Huaiwen is feeling that everything is slowly getting better in this life.
