The Path of the Peasant Girl

Chapter 140 Chapter 139
So as soon as Chen Shi said, he ran to talk to Zuo Shitong first, no matter whether he could make a decision or not, he had to let her understand his intentions first.

After getting the answer, Fu Yuanzhi went back and told Mrs. Chen.

Chen pondered: "This is indeed a problem."

But they have only experienced five years of war. During the war, who would be betrothed to their daughter?

It seems that I am too impatient with her, and I will wait for a while to discuss this matter.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Chen decided to go to Zuojia Village for a walk.

Seeing Mrs. Chen coming, Mrs. Wen quickly poured her tea.

Wen asked: "How's the house cleaning going? Are the servants still obedient? Is it easy?"

Chen Shi said: "Fortunately, after a few days I get familiar with it, and there will be no problem."

Someone talked for a while about family affairs, and exchanged pleasantries for a while.

Chen said: "Have you visited the neighbors around? How about we visit them together tomorrow?"

They had just moved here, and as a rule, they needed to greet the neighbors around them. She invited Wen to go with her. One had a companion during the visit, and the two could get to know the neighbors around them.

"Okay, then let's go together." Wen said.

Thinking of visiting neighbors, they had to prepare some gifts, so the two planned to cook some food together and use them as gifts when they came to visit. Although it was not a valuable thing, it was always a thought.

They arrive in Beijing in March, which is also spring, so there is a lot to do.

"Why don't we make locust flower cake?" Wen said, "The locust flower cake is easy to make, and we live in Huaishu Lane, so I can make it too, which is very suitable for the occasion."

Chen said: "Okay, I don't know how to make locust flower cakes. Then I will go to the street to buy some things, snacks and candies, and give them some, so as to support the scene."

So the two soldiers divided into two groups, each busy.

Mrs. Wen went, and asked someone under the pagoda tree in the alley, you can pick some pagoda flowers by yourself, because these pagoda trees were planted by the predecessors, not just belong to which family, everyone wants It can be used whenever it is used, so Wen's is not polite.

Zuo Shi also went with her. Except for Zuo Shi, the other children all went to the academy to study, so this time the matter of flower cakes fell to Wen, Aunt Rong and Zuo Shi. on the head.

In fact, there are also Yang Li's family, but Wen's arranged for Yang Li's family to clean up the house, and did not come out with them.

Wen looked at the Sophora japonica, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes: "This Sophora japonica is a good thing. When we were running away from the famine, the most important thing was to use these leaves, flowers and plants to make vegetable dumplings to satisfy our hunger along the way. money."

Speaking of this, Wen couldn't help thinking of Zuo Danqiu and the Zuo family who had disappeared, and his expression darkened.

In fact, she hadn't thought of them for a long time, but from time to time, she would think of them because of some inexplicable thoughts.

Mrs. Chen felt the same: "Isn't it? During times of war, let alone pagoda tree flowers, leaves and bark... as long as it can fill your stomach, what can't you eat?"

They are people who have lived a hard life, so they are especially grateful and cherish the present life.

The woman walking next to her couldn't help being speechless when she heard the conversation between the two: "Is it really that hard?"

Wen's and Chen's looked at her, the woman smiled embarrassedly, and said: "I... I just heard about it before, but I haven't seen it. I heard that what you said seemed true, so I couldn't hold back .”

After speaking, his face was still red.

Zuo Shi thinks she is quite cute, she looks innocent and innocent, without any scheming.

"Miss, but you live here?" Wen asked.

The woman blushed and nodded: "Yes, my family lives in the fifth house inside."

"That's a coincidence, we also live in Huaishu Lane, and we just moved here yesterday." Chen Shi said.

After speaking, he pointed her to the location of the two families.

"We just want to go back to Huaihua to make Sophora japonica cakes, and visit the neighbors tomorrow. Ma'am, since you live here, you should be familiar with the people here. Can you guide us tomorrow? Recommend for us .”

The woman stared at the two with wide eyes: "You also live here, did you just move here?"

Mrs. Su recalled hearing that Huai Shuxiang had moved into two families yesterday, and wondered who it was!There was no movement at all, and I originally thought about going to visit, but I didn't expect to see someone today.

Wen said: "Yes, I just arrived yesterday."

Chen asked: "My lady, can I help you with this?"

Su Shi nodded quickly: "Okay, I will be with you tomorrow and help you identify the door."

Then Mrs. Su stayed to talk to the two of them, testing each other's details.

When enough pagoda trees have been picked, everyone will know the basic information about each other.

Mrs. Su lives in the east of Wen's family. The husband in the family is also a scholar. He passed the examination of scholar. Recently, he was going to take the examination of Juren. He was very happy to learn that Mrs. Chen's son had passed the examination of Juren. He agreed to let Fu Yuanzhi give advice. own husband.

The two went to Zuo's house with Wen's family, and they were still making a home, and they made locust flower cakes together.

Each of them made a small pot, tried it after making it, and found that the most delicious one was actually Zuo Shi.

Su was very surprised: "Ms. Wen, this girl in your family is amazing. She cooks so well. Have you agreed with her?"

Zuo Shi smiled awkwardly.

Chen couldn't help frowning, why was she so upset.

Wen said with a smile: "Not yet, the sisters are not married yet, they are young, don't worry."

Suddenly, Su also felt that it was inappropriate to have her own. She just met today, and after only talking a few words, she asked if his daughter had a marriage proposal, which was a bit shallow.

But isn't that what women discuss together?
Everyone talked together, how many children are there in the family, whether the children are engaged, and whether the people in the family are promising...

In addition to this, it is rouge gouache, clothing jewelry.

That's right, why didn't she talk about cigarettes, gouache, clothes and jewelry?Or ask everyone's daily hobbies, why do you want to ask for a kiss for someone's child, she is so stupid?

Even if you invite them to hang out together, don't ask this topic.

Su Shi was very upset.

Even she felt a little uncomfortable, Wen came out to smooth things over: "We are new here, and we are not familiar with this place. In the future, we will have to ask Mrs. Su to take care of us, and someone who is good will let us know. My eldest daughter is sixteen this year, and the second daughter Fourteen, the three daughters are twelve, and the youngest son is nine years old. So I am not in such a hurry to get married, but if there is a suitable family, I can also give advice."

Chen: "..."
