Li Wen was woken up by the sound of laughter and laughter in the yard. He looked up and looked out the window and saw that it was completely dark.

The summer moonlight shines in the center of the courtyard, making the whole night slightly brighter. At this time, there are two long tables in the courtyard, filled with people, chatting and chatting for a while.

Li Wen got up and got off the kang, opened the door, and instantly all the eyes in the yard fell on him.

"Brother, you're awake." A small figure ran over and jumped on Li Wen. Li Wen took a closer look and saw that it was his sister Li Juan.

He picked her up, pinched her little cheeks, and said with a smile: "You little naughty devil."

Little Li Juan giggled and avoided Li Wen's hand, and said crisply: "Brother, when we came back and saw you sleeping, you didn't wake up no matter what I told you. You are really good at sleeping like Dahei."

Li Wen was stunned...!

"I can't have this sister anymore."

"Isn't your brother feeling unwell? You should pay more attention to rest. Come down quickly and don't let your brother hug you," Wang Chunmei, who came out of the kitchen after hearing the sound, shouted softly!

Awen, how is your recovery? You shocked everyone today. Are you okay now? Second uncle Li Dezhong and second aunt Cui Yanzi asked with concern?

Li Wen sat on the stool and smiled slightly: "Second uncle, second aunt, I just lost some blood and was feeling sleepy due to heatstroke. I ate enough at noon and slept all afternoon, and now I feel much better."

"Well! Learn to work smarter from now on, and take a break when you are tired. It doesn't matter if you earn a few less work points. It's me and you! Where's Dad, Tiantianma, you are still young, and it's not worth it to exhaust your body."

The second uncle said softly.

Li Wen scratched his head and nodded with a smile, "Yes! I understand, second uncle."

"That's right, Xiaowen, it's your first time harvesting wheat this year and you have no experience. If you are tired, stand up slowly with your legs up, or sit on the ground and rest for a while. Don't squat for a while and then stand up when harvesting wheat. It's that easy.

Dizziness," said the eldest brother Li Wu.

When Li Wen heard what his elder brother said, it made sense. If a person squats for a long time, the blood supply to the brain is insufficient. If he stands up suddenly, he will easily faint.

Next, the second sister Li Xia and the second brother Li all came up to express their greetings and concern for Li Wen.

Li Wen was very touched by his family's actions. This is his family!

Okay, everyone hurriedly washed their hands and started eating. Second Aunt Cui Yanzi’s voice came from the kitchen!

There was a crash! A group of children in the yard rushed to the wash basin. Although they had noodles for lunch, they didn't have much fat in their stomachs these days. They digested quickly and they were already hungry.

The three wash basins were packed to the brim, and the naughty guys Li Yong and Li Tao kept playing with the water, causing everyone to complain.

You two, please behave yourself, otherwise you two will look good tonight. Second uncle Li Dezhong's scolding came from the side table, and Li Yong and Li Yong instantly turned into quails, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

"Come! Everyone is seated. Anyone who doesn't sit down will not be given a meal." The old lady Guo Xiuyun and her two daughters-in-law came out carrying basins, bowls and chopsticks, and shouted softly while looking at the grandchildren.

In an instant, the long table was filled with quiet children!

"I ate dried meat noodles for lunch, and tonight I'll have some thin porridge with wild vegetables and corn gnocchi, and each of us will eat a steamed bun." The old lady announced tonight's supply, and then divided the rice among the little ones one by one.

After a while there was a sound of gobbling on the table.

The mother and the second aunt shared the food at another table with the father, the second uncle, who was the main labor force, and the eldest brother, second brother, and second sister.

This table of main labor is not a good meal. It is also wild vegetable and corn porridge, but it is semi-dry and relatively thick. There are only two steamed buns. This is the busy farming period. I don’t dare to eat like this at ordinary times. Two at most.

Wotou.

The children also know that their parents, brothers and sisters have to eat well to maintain good health when they do heavy work, and they don’t nag them!

"Awen, you lost a lot of blood today. This is a little meat dumpling left over from lunch. I'll let you eat it. I'll give you two more steamed buns so that you can recover from your illness." said her mother, Wang Chunmei!

"Mom, everyone eats steamed rice porridge, how can I eat meat?" Li Wen whispered sheepishly.

Wenzi, hurry up and eat. It’s all thanks to you that everyone eats meat at noon today. You are weak and need to supplement your nutrition. Second Aunt Cui Yanzi looked at Li Wen and said with a smile!

Yes, Awen, you should eat quickly. It is important to recover your body. It doesn’t matter if we skip one bite, everyone advised us!

Li Wen nodded, lowered his head and started eating. In fact, the meat dumplings were not much, only six or seven pieces, less than two taels of meat, but Li Wen felt warm in his heart.

The rice bowls at this time were also relatively large, all made of ceramic bowls the size of a human head. After eating a steamed bun and drinking porridge, Li Wen felt full. After all, he kept snacking in the warehouse in the afternoon and did not do any heavy work. It was not special.

Hungry!

Dad, uncle, I’m full, and there are still two cornbread left. You two can help me eliminate them one by one. Li Wen looked at his father and uncle and said with a smile!

His father, Li Deyou, looked up at Li Wen and said with a teasing smile: "Are you really full? Then I won't be polite to your second uncle."

"Well! Dad, I ate a big bowl of soybean noodles for lunch today. I slept all afternoon and didn't do any work. My digestion was slow. I ate porridge in the evening and I was full.

Father Li Deyou didn't look at his son as if he was being pretentious. Hearing this, he took Li Wen's remaining two woudou and distributed them to his eldest son Li Wu and his second uncle's eldest son Li Quan.

The eldest brother Li Wu is 18 years old this year, and the second brother Li Quan is 16 years old and has stopped going to school early. They specialize in farming at home. They are the two strongest laborers for the next generation of the family. However, because they are both in the stage of physical growth, they usually

The work is heavy and consumes a lot of energy, so I am very thin.

"Thank you, uncle, dad, Wenzi," the eldest brother and the second brother said politely.

"The whole family is so polite. It's just a Wotou. As your uncle and I are getting older, it doesn't matter if we eat less. I see that you two young men are so hungry and thin. Eat more and you will grow stronger." His father, Li Deyou, looked at his elder brother.

Son and Li Quandao.

A large family of fifteen people filled the two big tables, and it was bustling and bustling. Li Wen looked at the prosperous family and couldn't help but sigh, this is a big family, how can it be like the Chinese family of 421 in later generations?

Many homes were deserted immediately, and dinner ended with a lively sound.

In the evening, the family returned to the room. Wang Chunmei sat at the end of the kang with her little daughter in her arms. She was very pleased and proud to see her children sitting in a circle around the kang. In recent years, the environment has not been good, and many families have abused their children, but their family has not

No one was missing, which made her very satisfied.

Today, the third child, Li Wen, fainted from heat stroke, which really scared her, so I planned to hold a family meeting in the evening to give instructions to the children.

"Today the heat stroke of my third child really shocked my mother. She still hasn't recovered yet. She has no other big pursuit in her life, which is to raise you sisters safely."

"In the future, whether you are working or studying outside, you must protect yourself. Old people have said that the body is the capital of revolution, so you must protect your health no matter what.

"Mom, I got it, everyone responded in unison!"

Awen, you are taking a day off tomorrow to take good care of your body, so as not to leave any root causes of illness.

"Yeah! Yes, listen to your mother, Awen. You will have another day off tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, you and Li Yong will go hunting pigweed and picking wheat ears. It will be easier. Don't cut wheat for the time being," the silent father Li Deyou said.

Open.

"I know, dad, I'm almost recovered. I'll just take a day off tomorrow and I'll be fine. We've been busy with farming lately, and I don't want to rest anymore."

Mother Wang Chunmei warned everyone, her face became serious again, and she hummed: "Be careful in everything you do from now on. The third child spent one yuan and thirty cents on seeing a doctor today. Our family is not very wealthy and cannot afford the trouble."

"Also, because you are sick today, Awen can't eat the pork for your brother's marriage proposal. When you get better, you can plant more pig grass and fatten up the pigs at home so that you can leave some pork for your brother this year.

come out."

"Mom, don't worry, I'll take more care of our pigs. When I was in school some time ago, I read a pig-raising book in the bookstore. It talked about how to raise pigs well. Pigs grow fast. Li Wenyou raised them at home in his previous life.

The experience of pigs naturally makes them confident."

"It's good to study more. Our family relies on the New Year Pig every New Year's pork and New Year's goods for food and clothing. If you raise it, you will be rewarded. My mother Wang Chunmei's eyes lit up when she heard what Li Wenyi said."

"Brother, you want to eat pork, and I want to eat fat pork too. Little Li Juan was drowsy while sitting in Wang Chunmei's arms. When she heard the pork, she immediately woke up and shouted to Li Wen with her mouth watering."

Hahaha…

The family chatted for a while, and it was getting late, so everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

The Li family is a big family. After the two brothers got married, they had many children. Because their mother was still alive, the two brothers did not separate their families.

Before the liberation, the two Li brothers worked as porters in a grain store in the city. After the liberation, the grain store closed down and they lost their jobs. The two brothers returned home. They still had some savings at the time, so they built a large yard.

The cost of building a house in rural areas is relatively low, it is nothing more than mud, straw and wood tiles. Only wood and tiles cost some money.

There are two rooms in the inner courtyard, and four rooms are built on each side. There is a utility room and a kitchen at the front door and a room for dining and reception. In the backyard, there are two livestock pens and a toilet, and there are also

With just one well, the entire village was neatly organized.

The house on one side of the family of the father and brother is also easy to divide. Since there are more houses in the family, Li Wen and his brothers live in one room each. Their parents live in the room next to the kitchen. Grandma and younger sister Li Juan live in the inner courtyard and the room next to them.

It is the granary and storage room.

When Li Wen returned to his room, he saw that there was no oil lamp, and the windows were all covered with window paper and covered with straw curtains.

Opening the straw curtain, through a ray of moonlight, the layout of the room came into view. The room was quite large, about 20 square meters, but there was only a kang and a small desk and nothing else inside.

There is a schoolbag made of fertilizer bags on the small desk, a straw mat is spread on the kang, and a thin bedding is placed in a circle in a corner. This is all the possessions I have in this house.

It's still hot in summer, but people can't sleep directly on the straw mat because it hurts their backs. Li Wen spread the bedding on the straw mat. A single bedding was thin. Although it was very old, it was very clean.
Chapter completed!
