Chapter 006
Just as the Yin hour entered the eighth day of the April 19th, Ye Damin and his wife Wu got up.
The couple was carrying wind lamps and planning to go to the backyard to pick fruits, when they heard a slight movement from the east wing room.
The couple turned their heads to the east room at the same time, but saw that in the dark night, the eldest son Ye Qingzheng carefully pushed out the door.
"It's still early, why don't you sleep for a while?" After Ye Qing walked up to them lightly, Wu frowned slightly and whispered, while speaking, reaching out and pinching the eldest son's arm. He felt that the eldest son was wearing a lot of clothes, and he felt relieved.
The youngest son's serious illness has dragged down the entire family, and there can be no other one.
"I went to bed early yesterday and I had enough sleep." Ye Qing smiled silly, responding quietly while reaching out to take the basket from Wu's hand: "Is this going to go to the backyard to pick fruits? I'll do it if I climb trees, and I will pick fruits! Mom, go and have a rest."
Twelve, the three-year-old boy is the age to eat and sleep better. He has not had enough sleep. He just got up early because he was thinking about helping. His son's sensibility made Wu both relieved and sad.
"It's good. You have worked so hard these days to take care of Kun'er. It's still early for you to go and rest. Let Brother Tang follow me to pick the fruit." Ye Damin glanced at Wu, then gently patted Ye Qing on the shoulder, turned around and walked towards the backyard.
Because Ye Shen's illness can be said to have made the Ye family, whose family is already a little short of money, and now he still owes hundreds of millions of medicine to the barefoot doctor in the village, so he pointed to picking the fruits at home and went to the temple fair to sell for a good price.
Back then, Master Huineng helped him buy half of the barren mountain in Hongfeng Village and settled it in the house. After five years of hard work, the life of the Ye family gradually improved, and it was considered to have taken root in Hongfeng Village. However, because of Ye Shen's illness, the family was once again left alone.
Talents who have experienced great disasters cherish each other more, which is why the Ye family has to borrow money to treat Ye Shen even if they lose everything.
Watching the father and son turn around the corner of the room, Wu stood in the dark for a moment of silence, sighed deeply, lifted up the apron on his body and wiped the corners of his eyes, and did not go back to the house to rest, but turned around and entered the kitchen.
Although it was still early at this moment, she was indeed tired these days, but how could she rest in this situation at home?
Although the temple fair at the foot of Daqing Mountain is not far from Hongfeng Village, there is always more than ten miles away. It takes almost two hours to go back and forth even if there is no delay. In addition, you have to worship Buddha and make a vow to sell things. You can't come back at noon at all. Today, there are old and young people, so you have to prepare some dry food.
After entering the kitchen, Wu first lit up the fire that was originally pressed in the stove. The fire immediately brought light and warmth to the kitchen. He dug out two bowls of black noodles from the clay pot and quickly made it into a batter. He remembered that there would be old people going to the temple today, so he finally gritted his teeth and beat the last two eggs in the house.
After the batter was ready, Wu found a mud stove and set fire. He spread the batter into thin bread and left a few pieces at home. This was the lunch for Mr. Ye who stayed to visit the house today. The others were carefully covered in a clean basket with a clean cloth.
After Wu finished the dough, it was a little dawn outside.
The chirping of chickens and dogs came from far and near, and the quiet small village gradually became vivid.
The sweet potato and corn porridge cooked on the Ye family stove gradually became thicker, and the farmhouse courtyard suddenly became more angry.
At this time, there was also movement in the main room. Wu quickly took a clean wooden basin and filled hot water to deliver it to her parents-in-law. She thought Ye Shen was still asleep, but she didn't expect that as soon as she brought the hot water out of the stove, she saw Ye Shen push the door and come out of the main room: "Brother Kun is getting up now? It's cold outside, hurry up and go into the room!"
"Mom, where is Dad?" Ye Shen stretched his head and looked around, but he couldn't help but blurted out his heart and asked.
Wu heard the nervousness from Ye Shen's voice, and couldn't help but look at his younger son with a funny look and said, "Your father and your elder brother are picking fruits in the backyard. Come and follow your mother into the house."
After a busy and busy life, the Ye family, except for the father Ye who stayed to visit the house at the foot of Daqing Mountain, were full of hope, and the rest of the Ye family rushed to the temple fair at the foot of Daqing Mountain ten miles away.
Today, the Ye family brought the cherry fruits that they had just picked, as well as the bamboo baskets and rattan baskets woven by Mr. Ye, as well as the handkerchiefs and purses that Mr. Chen and Mr. Wu took time to embroider.
Although almost everyone in the mountains can weave bamboo baskets and rattan baskets, Ye’s weaving skills are among the best in the villages. The Ye’s bamboo baskets and rattan baskets are famous for being strong, durable, beautiful and pleasing in the Daqingshan area.
This year, Mr. Ye spent a lot of effort and made up several exquisite scholarly bags and women's makeup boxes.
Although the handkerchiefs and purses embroidered by Chen and Wu are not very exquisite, they are unique to Shu, and are considered a rare and popular item in Qingzhou Prefecture. Every time they bring embroidery products to the market, they can always make a lot of money.
Originally, some eggs were accumulated at home, but when Ye Shen was sick, he paid some of the medicine for the village doctors, and the rest was used to nourish Ye Shen's body.
Even so, there are still a lot of things I bring today.
When the Ye family was in Shu, the family was still in good condition, but the movement of the ground almost buried everything.
Although I have gradually lived through five years of hard work, I have no ability to buy cows and cars. Today, I can only carry it on my shoulders and backs when I go to the temple fair.
Ye Damin and Wu were naturally the main laborers. One of the couple was carrying heavy baskets with fruits on their backs, and the other was carrying bamboo baskets and rattan baskets.
Ten-year-old Ye Zhan is responsible for the exquisite book baskets and makeup boxes.
The older Chen also carried a basket filled with embroidery on his back and a basket filled with sacrifices in his hand.
Ye Shen has short calves and has just had a serious illness. He has to spare his own hands to take care of him. This important task was handed over to the twelve-year-old boss Ye Qing.
Ye Shen didn't want to be a burden to his family, but he also understood that he could not cause any more trouble for his family, so he obediently let his elder brother carry him to the temple fair.
Even though the Ye family got up early today, it was not too late to go out. It was about ten miles away. When the Ye family rushed to the temple fair, they could only find a place to lay it out on the edge.
Here is still a little distance from Chongfu Temple. Chen put down his back basket and pointed out his son and wife to spread the stall. He took the basket containing the offerings, took Ye Shen's small hand and went to Chongfu Temple.
Ye Damin straightened his waist and looked around. Although there were not too many people nearby, the more people they went to Chongfu Temple, the more people they went to. Chen and Ye Shen were older and the younger they were young and sick. They were naturally worried that the old and the young went to Chongfu Temple and quickly called Ye Qing to follow.
Ye Qing, who was helping to lay out, quickly stood up, chased Ye Shen in two steps, and wanted to help Chen carry the basket with his empty hand.
Chen shook his head and said, "I can still take care of this little thing. You can take good care of Brother Shen."
