Raise me for a lifetime

Chapter 5

When the sun gradually rose and the heat on the ground gradually increased, Hu Yan bid farewell to Cheng Sihan, carried his own small basket, and walked down the mountain with Cheng Sihan, secretly inquiring about some news in the village. .

When he got home, Hu Yan saw a batch of fresh grass with some drops of water drying in the backyard of his house, and knew that these were harvested by his boss, Gao Lan, at the foot of the mountain behind.It is said that some dewy grass cannot be eaten directly by livestock, otherwise they are prone to diarrhea.

Hu Yan also put some fresh grass in his small basket for the chickens and ducks to eat on the ground, and the earthworms and insects he just dug from the mountain went to the old hen to eat, and the wild vegetables he prepared for his own food were given to the old hen. Put it in a dark place in the kitchen.After wandering around the house but not seeing Gao Lan and Gao Yun, Hu Yan realized that Gao Lan must have taken Gao Yun to wash clothes by the stream.Gao Lan is a quiet person. She doesn't have many good friends in the village, and she doesn't like to gossip with the "three aunts and six wives" in the village, so when doing laundry, she is used to waiting until everyone else has done about the same and all the people by the stream are gone. Take the basin to wash clothes by the stream.As for the little boy Gao Yun, Gao Lan was worried that he would be alone at home, so he took him with him.

Hu Yan thought for a while, afraid that Gao Lan would be too busy to wash clothes and take care of Gao Yun by herself, so he put down his things, closed the door, and walked to the place where Gao Lan used to wash clothes.Although the stream here is not deep, it is enough for a three- or four-year-old child to fall into it. He has not forgotten that the original body of his body fell into the water, which gave him a chance to cross.

When Hu Yan walked to a stream not far from his home, he saw a small kid squatting under a big tree not far away. He didn't know what he was playing with, but he was alone. I had a great time entertaining myself.And the eldest brother of the family by the stream is washing the clothes of a family of five.

"Second brother." Gao Yun suddenly looked up and saw the second brother Gao Yu who was walking towards him, and quickly dropped the small stone in his hand, and ran towards Hu Yan with his chubby legs.

Hu Yan hugged Gao Yun who was hugging him, and said with a smile, "What are you doing, Brother Yun?"

"I'm looking for stones. I want to find three identical stones, one for each of us." Gao Yun happily talked about his work all morning.

"Did Brother Yun find it?" Hu Yan asked with a smile.

"No? Those stones all look different. I've been searching for a long time but haven't found the same one." Gao Yun said with some disappointment.

"It's okay. There are many, many stones in the world. It's normal not to find the exact same stone. But if you search patiently, you might find two very similar stones." Hu Yan said comfortingly with a smile.

"Oh... I see." Gao Yun nodded in response.

"Brother." After putting down Gao Yun, Hu Yan came to Gao Lan's side and shouted.

"Brother Yu is back. I'm almost done washing, you don't need to plug it in, you can take Brother Yun by your side." Gao Lan said while washing the clothes in her hands.

"Oh." Hu Yan responded, and stayed aside with Gao Yun.

Suddenly, Hu Yan saw a few small shrimps swimming in the water, thinking that he hadn't touched any meat recently, so he coaxed Gao Yun to stay on the shore, while he stood in the water, carefully catching the shrimps in the water. Shrimp.It's a pity that he came here empty-handed today, and there is no place to put shrimps.

Seeing that Gao Lan still had some clothes in his hand, Hu Yan immediately got up, yelled at Gao Lan, told Gao Yun to stay here, and ran home to get things.After a while, Hu Yan returned to the stream with a small wooden bucket and a thin basket made of bamboo strips, and said to Gao Yun, "Brother Yun, stand there and watch, I'm going to catch shrimp today. Go home and cook shrimp."

There are quite a few shrimps in the stream, but they are not big, only the size of a fingernail.Until Gao Lan finished washing the clothes, Hu Yan didn't catch many shrimps.Gao Lan saw that Hu Yan was so keen on shrimps, and thinking that the family hadn't eaten any meat recently, it's no wonder that her two younger brothers were greedy, and she didn't object, and kept reminding them to be careful not to fall into the water. At the same time, he himself went down to join the ranks of catching shrimp.

"This is just a small stream. There are few fish and shrimps. Even if there are some, they won't be too big. Next time, I will ask Dad to catch some big fish in the river and come back for another meal." The two caught for a long time, and even The three-year-old Gao Yun couldn't help coming down to play in the water, so they stopped.Gao Lan originally wanted to say that the two of them went to the river to cook some fish by themselves, but thinking that Gao Yugang accidentally fell into the water not long ago, she changed her mind and asked Gao Dashan to catch some fish and eat them.

After hearing this, Hu Yan praised him again and again, and even Gao Yun who was beside him was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth when he heard that there was a fish to eat.

The three of them packed up, took their things, and walked home together.

On the way back, the sun was already close to the top of the head, and many people had already started cooking.Gao Lan hurried to her home with the two little ones, and walked to the yard with the wooden bucket by herself, and told Hu Yan to go to the kitchen to prepare the dishes needed for noon, and then quickly dried the clothes.

Hu Yan has no objection to this. He is not really a five or six-year-old kid who only knows how to play, and he is not very disgusted with helping with the work, but he feels it is a matter of course in his heart.He is a man in his twenties, so he can't let a boy of about ten years old take care of him.

After a busy meal, the two brothers quickly cooked lunch.As soon as the food was served on the table, Gao Dashan and Chen Qing'er came in from outside.Seeing the two of them, Hu Yan shouted with a smile, and explained that it was time to eat.

Seeing Hu Yan like this, Chen Qing'er thought that Brother Yu was much more obedient this time when he was sick, and would help Lan Ge'er with many things. Fortunately, I often help the family with work.I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, but the proportion of blessings is even greater.

At the dinner table, the whole family was sitting together eating and chatting. Suddenly, Chen Qing'er said to Hu Yan: "Brother Yu, you are almost in shape now. You are not young anymore, don't run around like other kids. It's time to learn to do what you should do. Other brothers have started to learn how to do needlework at your age. If you are at home these two days, you can do needlework with Brother Lang."

Hearing this, Hu Yan immediately recalled seeing Uncle Dongfang wearing a red dress sitting in the courtyard embroidering flowers, and then he replaced the face of Uncle Dongfang in Sister Lin's version with his own face, suddenly he felt particularly embarrassing, godlike, woody?

Seeing Hu Yan like this, Chen Qing'er thought that he was unwilling to learn needlework, and said with a smile: "Brother Yu, a brother who doesn't know how to do some needlework will be laughed at by others, let alone know how to do needlework , Be careful not to find a good boy in the future. And you will have to make your own wedding dress in the future, you don't want to go out without a wedding dress, do you?"

"I don't want it. If I can't find it, I won't look for it. I will support myself." Hu Yan lowered his head and said unwillingly.Who wants a boy, he is a true man himself, and he is also a straight man who can't be straighter, so he doesn't want a boy to exercise on his body.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Brother, how can you not be a kid like this? Didn't you get very close to that kid from the Cheng family recently? You are still young, no one will say anything. However, if you are still so close in a few years , I’m afraid you won’t be able to do it if you don’t marry him.” Chen Qing’er said with a smile, but he still had some doubts in his heart. Treating him like a kid, he doesn't look like a brother at all, but it may be because he is still young, plus this time he lost his memory and forgot some things.

After hearing this, Hu Yan counted the rice grains with chopsticks and sighed secretly in his heart that he really didn't expect this, and he should keep a little distance from that Cheng Sihan in the future.
