After a tiring trip, Fang Yan talked to Hua's mother all night, and Fang Yan became the last person in the family to wake up.
It wasn't too late for him to wake up, but when he opened his eyes, the bed next to him was no longer warm. Fang Honghua got up before dawn and went out to work.
Fang Yan sat on the bed blankly for a while, and heard the sound of chickens "clucking and clucking" outside, as well as Fang Huai's voice—the sound insulation of the old house is not very good, no matter what sounds outside, all come in . Only then did he turn over and get up, folded the quilt, and climbed down from the high kang.
His small suitcase was next to the bed, Fang Yan opened it, found a set of clothes to put on, and then rubbed his eyes and opened the door to go out.
As soon as he went out, he was picked up by someone, his feet were flying in the air, Fang Yan kicked his feet subconsciously, put his arms around Fang's father's neck, and called softly: "Father."
"Yanyan is awake." Fang's father kissed him on the face, and said cheerfully: "Today, Yanyan is the last person in the family to wake up."
Fang Yan buried her face in his neck in embarrassment.
"Your adoptive mother left breakfast before going out. It's not cold yet, so eat it while it's hot." Fang's father carried him to the living room, put him on the seat, and then went to the kitchen. A bowl was taken out and placed in front of him.
The conditions were simple, and Fang Honghua tried her best to prepare the richest breakfast for the guests. She scrambled the eggs that she was usually reluctant to eat, as well as the pickles that were pickled before, and the wild vegetables that were just picked yesterday. They were scattered and assembled several side dishes.
"Where's mom?"
"Your mother has already eaten." Father Fang paused, and then said, "Your adoptive mother has gone out to work."
Fang Yan asked again: "Where's brother?"
Speaking of this, Fang's father found it funny: "The two of them got up early in the morning, especially Xiao Huai, who usually sleeps at home until the sun is high and then gets up. It's good to be here, he got up earlier than anyone else, what is the morning?" The air is good and good for the body and mind, but I ended up chasing chickens all morning.”
It turned out that this was the voice in the morning. Fang Yan thought to himself.
He soon thought again: the chickens in their family were timid and couldn't bear to be frightened. If they were so frightened by the second brother, they might not even dare to lay eggs.
As soon as he thought of this, he immediately became anxious, and quickly lowered his head to eat the porridge in the bowl and the eggs left by his family. He ate everything clean, and then put the dirty bowl into the basin. Only then hurriedly ran out.
Father Fang also quickly caught up.
While he was having breakfast, Fang Huai had already turned his attention away from the chicken.
The chicken had already returned to the chicken coop, and it looked shocked. Fang Yan lay outside and watched for a long time, all he could see was its shivering appearance. Looking at Fang Huai again, his face had turned into a serious expression. Standing outside the yard looking into the distance, Fang Yan didn't know what he was looking at. Fang Yan followed his gaze and could only see a mountain in the distance.
"Second Brother?" He stood beside Fang Huai, looking up at him in wonder, "What are you looking at?"
"shh-"
Fang Huai raised his index finger to his mouth, and gave him a booing gesture with a mysterious face.
Fang Yan couldn't help lowering his voice, and asked again: "What are you looking at?"
"Look, Yanyan." Fang Huai raised his hand and pointed at the mountain far away. He lowered his voice and asked quietly, "Will there be wild boars coming down from that mountain to attack people?"
"Wild boar?" Fang Yan shook his head blankly: "We don't have any wild boar here."
The stone in his heart fell, Fang Huai breathed a long sigh of relief and relaxed.
There was also a big dark circle under his eyes, obviously he didn't sleep well all night. Arriving in such a remote and desolate place suddenly completely overturned all Fang Huai's perceptions.
Last night, he was lying on that hard bed with Fang Ke lying next to him, but he couldn't sleep at all. He thought wildly all night, from the bandits who would suddenly break into the door in the middle of the night, to the ghost stories in weird mountain villages. , Thinking of wild boars and black bears, which are not usually seen, I tossed and turned in fear all night, for fear that my fantasy would become a reality.
Fortunately, he waited until dawn, but he didn't wait for one of them to be fulfilled.
Fang Huai moved a small bench from the house, sat down in the middle of the yard, put his elbows on his knees, looked ahead and sighed.
Fang Yan didn't understand why, so he asked again: "Second brother, what's wrong with you?"
Fang Ke passed by and glanced at it, and said coldly: "It's not been a day or two for him to have convulsions, Yan Yan ignores him."
Fang Huai was in a hurry: "What did you say about your brother?!" As soon as he rolled up his sleeves, he was about to fight Fang Ke.
But Fang Ke ignored it, took his younger brother's hand and walked out, letting Fang Huai's resentment all vent. Fang Huai rubbed his nose, turned around and put the small bench back into the room, closed the door, and hurriedly chased after Fang Ke.
After the initial fear, he quickly adapted to this small mountain village. After accepting the existence of this barren small mountain village, he pointed to everything he saw with interest and asked Fang Yan. Whether it's a big vat for pickling vegetables or a ladle made from hollowed out gourds, Fang Huai will always get his feet.
As for Fang's father and Fang's mother. The couple suddenly became interested in a date, and they had already gone hand in hand to a place where no one was around to see the scenery.
Regarding the place where he grew up, Fang Yan had a lot to say to his two older brothers.
For example, it is the biggest tree in the village. When he was a child, he often played hide-and-seek with other friends in the village; He always asks his elder brother for help; for example, when he was playing in the well in the village, he accidentally fell down it. Fortunately, other villagers were there and rescued him. Mother Hua was so frightened that he was not allowed to go out for several days...
From the beginning of the village to the end of the village, Fang Yan talked all the way, and the other two listened all the way.
There is a large piece of land next to the village. The soil here is not good, so we can't grow many vegetables, but we can still grow some easier crops such as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. Fang Honghua went out early in the morning, and came to clean up the crops in the field.
The three of them approached the farmland, and from a distance, Fang Yan saw his familiar figure at a glance.
He immediately pulled Fang Ke, called Mother Hua's name, and ran over there.
Hearing her son's voice, Fang Honghua, who was bending over to tidy up the crops, immediately straightened up and looked towards this side with a smile. She waved her hands excitedly and shouted, "Little Treasure!"
"Huh?" A girl next to her straightened up and looked over when she heard the sound: "Aunt Fang, Xiaobao is back?"
Fang Honghua smiled and said, "Yes, Xiaobao came back to see me."
The girl looked up, and saw a cute little boy from Yuxue running towards her. She was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized that this was Fang Xiaobao, who was as black as coal balls from before.
Hey, it turns out that the one who came back in the car yesterday was actually Fang Xiaobao who went to the city to live a good life!
