It was New Year’s Eve within two days. This is the second year since I came here on November. Last time, she married Yang Shifeng and had a husband. This time, there was another important man in her life—they. Little fat man at home.

Last year, the family was not very lively, but this year it became completely lively because of the little fat man. The little fat man is the joy of the whole family. With his screaming "Ah ah wah wah" at home, the house is full of joy. , Unspeakable excitement.

Grandpa Yang gave Little Fatty a big red envelope and stuffed it on Little Fatty's chest. Little Fatty liked it, and he held it tightly, smiling so hard that he couldn't see the teeth.

Second Uncle Yang brought his family here to celebrate the New Year. He also gave the dumplings the New Year's Eve money, followed by Little Stone, and gave the three hundred yuan of money he got to the little fat man in a red package. The little fat man became a rich man all at once. .

Not to be outdone, Yang Shifeng, his father, took out the red envelope he had prepared a long time ago from his pocket to the little fat man, and kissed him, "Dumpling, you have to grow up healthy and healthy."

"Ahhh-" The little fat man was dancing in his eleven arms.

On Eleven, he stuffed the four red envelopes and squeezed his face, "Little fat guy, just hold it and be happy for a while, and you will hand it in tomorrow."

The little fat man didn't understand, he had a great time playing red envelopes.

The Yang family has no relatives and doesn't need to move around, so they pay New Year greetings to each other with people they know in the village. In their free time, everyone's main pleasure is to tease the little fat man. One year has passed so quickly.

Not long after the Chinese New Year, the spring begins, and the weather gradually heats up, the village finally ushered in the planting season, and the winter famine is about to pass.

Yang Shifeng remembered the eleventh words, and ran to the village head and told the village chief that he would buy the land behind his house. The land was large but facing the mountain. No one would buy it to build a house, so it was useless. Now When Yang Shifeng wanted to buy it, the village chief would naturally not disagree, so he discussed with the village elders, and finally sold it to him for fifty taels of silver.

After getting the title deed, Yang Shifeng finally asked the question in his mind, "October, what do you want to use such a large land for?"

Eleven glanced at the area of ​​the ground, and felt quite satisfied. Such a large area was just right for her to grow herbs. Eleven plans to reclaim the back land into a medicinal field, planting medicinal herbs in it, and planting medicinal herbs is her vocation. In the end times, the natural land cannot grow natural herbs. She is in the experimental field by herself. The herb cultivator, here, there are natural herbs. When she needs it, she goes to the mountains with Yang Shifeng to pick it, so she doesn’t even bother to cultivate it by herself.

However, the shortcomings of picking herbs on the mountain is not only the distance and not easy to pick, but also the problem of quantity. Some herbs are few in number, and cherished medicinal materials are hard to come by. Whether they can be picked depends on luck. It can be cultivated in the experimental field as much as it needs.

In the past, she didn't need many herbs to see a doctor, so she never thought about cultivating it by herself, but now she has a plan in her heart. She needs a lot of medicinal materials to realize it.

Yang Shifeng was a little surprised, "You want to cultivate medicinal herbs yourself? Can you cultivate them?" In his understanding, medicinal materials are grown in the mountains and need to be picked by themselves. I don't know that medicinal herbs can be grown by themselves. He used to see in the mountains that many doctors and apprentices in the town went to the mountains to gather medicine.

"Of course you can grow medicinal herbs by yourself. This is the same as growing vegetables. Vegetables can grow in the wilderness, or they can be grown in the fields. As long as the methods are used properly, it’s better to grow them yourself. Too much."

"But I used to see the famous doctors in the town's medical clinic go into the mountains to collect medicines. They didn't grow medicines by themselves. Why?"

"That's because medicinal materials are not easy to cultivate. The method is very important. If the method is wrong, nothing can be grown, and if everyone can grow the same as food, the medicinal materials will not be so precious, and there will be no need for so many doctors. I have gone to the mountains to look for it." The technology of planting medicinal materials in this era is not very good, and few doctors plant it by themselves.

Only then did Yang Shifeng realize that it is difficult to cultivate medicinal materials here, not as simple as growing food and vegetables.

Eleven faced this piece of land and said, "Brother Shifeng, you can find some people to help. Use a fence to surround this piece of land and connect it to our house. Just leave a back door. Then give it to me. Cultivate it and divide it into pieces. I want to plant different herbs."

Yang Shifeng has always unconditionally agreed to the requirements of the 11th, "Okay, I will find a few capable people to help tomorrow, and it will take a few months."

"If you come to work, you will give them 30 cents a day. We will pack a meal at noon. By the way, if you don’t have time to cook, please go to Grandma Wang’s house and ask someone to help you cook for a few days. People at Grandma Wang’s family cook deliciously and clean."

Yang Shifeng nodded, and immediately began to wonder who should be called to do this work.

The village had just passed a hungry and cold winter, and everyone’s pockets were cleaner than their faces. It was when money was needed. At this time, Yang Shifeng invited people to work, and he still had 30 cents a day, which was a great attraction to everyone. No one in the village didn't want to do it, but Yang Shifeng didn't want everyone. He only selected a dozen reliable and hard-working people to do it. Among them, Uncle Yang and Dazhu were also there.

Yang Shifeng gave the shop to Grandpa Yang to watch, and he took the men in the village to build walls and reclaim the land every day, and he was very busy every day.

Eleven every day, I would hold the little fat man and go to the back to see how everyone was working. The little fat man looked at it with gusto. He always pointed at the people who were working and yelled, sometimes giggling ceaselessly. There was a discordant sound in the working space of the company, but everyone liked the little fat man. Seeing his white and tender face, everyone wanted to pinch and tease him, or drink water. Say a few words to him, the little fat guy always refuses to come, and talks to other people with a lot of fun, and those who don't know really think he understands everything.

Sometimes a patient on the eleventh can't take him to the back to see people working, he will point to the back and call eleven, eleven ignoring him, he will still pat the bedboard and get angry, yelling with anger. The amusing person who came to see him kept looking at him, thinking that the child was too clever.

The little fat man now seems to be a little fat man that the whole village likes.

One month later, the rear fields were basically cultivated, and the time had come to the most suitable time for cultivation. On November 11, I would go to the mountains to find some medicinal seeds or seedlings and come back for cultivation.

However, to go to the mountains, and to find so many kinds of medicinal materials, one or two days are considered to be few, and she is bound to leave the little fat man at home alone.

From birth to now, Little Fatty has been in her arms every day, and he has not been separated from her for a day. This is the first time he wants to leave her. Eleven felt a little nervous, wondering if Little Fatty would cry if she left her.

Yang Shifeng was worried about going to the mountain alone on Eleven and wanted to go with her, but she shook his head and refused. I don’t cry. If you go together again and we are gone, what should he do if he gets into trouble? So you should stay at home to coax him. You can feed him rice and he will still eat it."

Looking at Yang Shifeng, he was still uneasy. Eleven said: "It's really okay. How many times have I been to the mountain. I can't ripen the ones that have been ripe for a long time. I know which herbs are in and where, and I won't go to those unsafe places. , I will be back within three days at the latest."

Yang Shifeng was not at ease in his heart, but looking at the fat son who didn't know it, he could only be cruel and stay at home to look at him.

Eleven was afraid that the little fat man would cry when she watched her leave, so early in the morning when the little fat man was still awake, he quietly ran up the mountain with the bamboo basket on his back.

This season on the mountain was when the herbs grew wildly. Seedling seeds were everywhere. It was easy to find the seeds and seedlings that she needed on October 11. Although the collection went smoothly, there were too many kinds of them, so she stayed in the mountains. a long time. But there is no way, she originally ran out secretly, and she didn't know how the little fat guy at home would react. Of course, she had to take advantage of this picking once. Next time, she can't guarantee that there will be a chance next time.

I didn't sleep much on the night of November, and collected the medicine at the fastest speed, and finally collected almost the same in the afternoon of the next day. I hurried down the mountain with a basket full of things on my back.

When I got home, it was just dark and the Yang family had just finished dinner. Grandpa Yang was boiling hot water for washing in the kitchen, and the others were nowhere to be seen.

The eleventh was strange, but still went to the kitchen to say hello to Grandpa Yang, "Grandpa, I'm back."

When Grandpa Yang saw Eleven, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly stood up to take Eleven’s back basket, "Girl, how come you came back, do you know that the little ancestor at home is about to shake the sky!"

Eleven was surprised, "What's the matter with Little Fatty?"

"He didn't see you, let us take him to look for you everywhere. He yelled for a long time, and his voice became dumb. When I saw you did not show up later, I started crying. I cried so that my eyes were swollen. If we don’t eat anymore, we can’t coax it anymore. We have lost weight in these two days. How can you bear the heart to leave such a small child at home.”

The more I listened to Eleven, the more I felt uncomfortable, and ran towards the room without saying anything. In the room, Yang Shifeng was sitting on the side of the bed with the little fat man in his arms, with a sad expression on his face, while Little Stone was also watching, unhappy.

Seeing the eleventh coming in, Little Stone immediately jumped up, his face was anxious, "Sister, you are coming back! My nephew is almost crying! Come and see my nephew."

Yang Shifeng also let out a big sigh of relief, "October, you can count as coming back."

Eleven walked over and looked at the little fat man in Yang Shifeng’s arms. Although his face was still full of flesh, he seemed to be really thinner.

But the most pitiful thing is that my face is red from crying, and my eyes are swollen, which makes people feel distressed.

"How's the little fat guy?"

Yang Shifeng distressedly kissed the little fat man’s face, “I’m tired of crying, and finally fell asleep. If you don’t come back, I won’t be able to coax it anymore. Eleven, although Tuanzi loves to quarrel with you and choke, in fact, The stickiest thing is you. If you are not there, he doesn't want to eat anymore."

It was the first time that a mother felt the love and dissatisfaction that came from the depths of her heart for her child on November. She was so sad that she couldn't help but lower her head and put a soft kiss on the fat man's eyes.

I don’t know if I feel the smell of my mother. Eleven just left Fatty’s eyes, and Fatty’s eyelashes blinked gently, and slowly opened his eyes. His big smoky eyes looked at Eleven, his mouth "Oh oh" sounded inside, with a little hoarseness.

"Fatty, mother is back, do you miss your mother?"

Seeing that the person in front of him was his old mother who had disappeared for many days, the fat tuanzi blinked, then suddenly closed his mouth, motionless, quietly out of place.

What's going on here? Wouldn't it be that you didn't know her if you haven't seen her for two days?

Eleven was wondering how he reacted this way. The next second, with a "wow", the little fat man let out an earth-shattering cry, which sounded through the sky. The chubby arms and legs were waving vigorously, as if they were about to knock all the enemies over.

eleven:"......"

Yang Shifeng: "..."

small stone:"......."

Grandpa Yang ran in in a panic, "What's the matter? What's the dumpling?"

Yang Shifeng looked at a loss, and hurriedly patted his son's back to coax, "Duanzi, didn't the mother come back, why is she crying again? Don't cry, don't cry, mother really came back."

"Wow-wow -" the crying became louder.

Yang Shifeng was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, "October, what's wrong with him? Isn't he uncomfortable? He didn't cry so much the last two days."

Eleven glanced at the little fat man's face. It was probably mother and child connecting the heart. At this moment, she inexplicably felt that the little fat man was not so sad, but was a little acting.

However, the eleventh decided to show the little fat man some face and coax him well.

He took the little fat man from Yang Shifeng, and first kissed his small forehead, "Fatty, mother is back, mother kiss, stop crying."

"Wow -" The little fat man continued to cry.

Eleven kissed both of his eyes again, "You are so good, mother's so good, don't cry, mother shouldn't leave you missing for two days, mother is not good, you forgive mother."

"Wow-" The voice seemed to be a little quieter, and the closed eyes opened a little.

A smile flashed in Eleven's eyes, and then he took a sip on his little nose, "My mother is fat, dear, my mother loves you the most, and my mother will never leave you fat again, okay?"

"Wow -" The cry was much lower, and one small eye was squinted at eleven.

Eleven felt that she should make a big move, put the little fat man on the bed, opened his clothes to reveal his fat belly, and then lowered her head to blow on his belly, making a "pupu" sound, Xiao Fatty has loved this trick since he was a child. Once someone blows on his fat belly, he will laugh like a duck.

"Quack—" Sure enough, the little fat man couldn't stand this trick, and finally laughed, short hands and short legs thrashing hard.

"Puffpuffpuff—" Eleven continued to blow, and the little fat man flopped even harder. Little fingers grabbed Eleven’s hair and yelled, "Mother—"

Eleven stopped and looked up at him.

Yang Shifeng Grandpa Yang and Little Stone stared at the fat dumplings on the bed in a daze, unbelievable, "Did the dumplings be called'mother' just now?"

Little Stone nodded, "I just heard it."

Grandpa Yang was a little excited, "Did our dumpling speak?"

The most exciting one was eleven. She clearly heard the "mother" of the dumplings, and her heart suddenly fell.

Her child, just called her mother.

The fat dumpling saw that everyone was not moving, and his mother stopped blowing him. He patted the bed in confusion, "Ahhhhhhh?" Why didn't he tease him anymore?

Eleven grabbed Fat Tuanzi's foot and kissed him, "Duanzi, what did you call me just now? Call me again."

"Giggle—" The fat dumpling laughed.

Eleven smiled, then bowed his head and blew on the fat dumpling’s fat belly, causing the fat dumpling to quack and laugh again, so excited that he couldn’t help himself, and called out again, "Mother—mother—quack—"

Eleven took the fat dumpling into his arms and kissed him several times on his face, "My mother is fat, you are so smart, you will be called mother!"

Fat Tuanzi hugged Eleven's neck and laughed. Everyone couldn't help but laugh after him.

After all, it's raining and clearing up.
