Juan Wang's Little Lady: Nongmen hunters work hard to plow the fields

Chapter 3

Zhang Jianshan and Aji, one big and one small, stood in the autumn wind, and the wormwood in the courtyard was rustling and the cold wind was blowing.

"Father." Aji squatted on the ground playing with mud and asked, "Does Wang Ergou never take a bath?"

"Why do you ask that?" Zhang Jianshan looked at the small ball of meat at his feet.

"Why have you never seen Uncle Wang and Ergou standing at the door watching Erniang Wang take a bath?" Aji asked.

Zhang Jianshan smiled, stretched out his rough palm and rubbed Aji's head: "Hey, Sister Lian'er just came here, and she's not used to it yet."

"Oh. Aji wants to go back. Is my sister finished washing?" Aji threw down the mud in his hand, turned to lie on the wall, and looked in through a small crack in the wall.

Zhang Jianshan stood obediently and did not stop him.There was only a scream in the room: "No peeking!" followed by the sound of a wooden spoon hitting the wall.

Aji was startled, and quickly retracted.

After a while, Aji asked his father again: "Father, won't my sister sleep with us? Wang Ergou's parents hug and sleep together every day."

"..." Zhang Jianshan looked at the sky, and replied after a while, "Father only has your mother. Sister Lianer came to our house to take care of you. Daddy doesn't hug elder sister, dad only hugs little Aji."

Aji rushed forward and hugged his father's leg, with tears in his eyes: "Father."

Just as Zhang Jianshan picked up the cub from the ground, the door creaked open, Su Lian stood at the door with his hips akimbo, his wet hair was still steaming.

"Who was peeking just now?!"

"It's not Aji! Aji didn't take a peek!" The brat immediately dismissed it.

Su Lian glared at the little kid: "Hmph! It's a puppy who is peeking!"

"Aggie is not a puppy!"

Su Lian shook the linen towel in her hand, and squinted at the two fathers: "The water is still hot, do you want to wash it?"

In order to boil water for her bath, a lot of the firewood at home was used up. Zhang Jianshan was worried that there would not be enough firewood for the kang overnight, but Su Lian insisted on taking a bath.

This family is so poor that even boiling pots and bathing water is a luxury.Su Lian sighed.

"Aji, you haven't showered for three days, go and wash." Zhang Jianshan said.

Aji wiped his nose with his sleeve, and said crisply: "Aji is not dirty, Aji does not take a bath."

"If you don't take a bath for three days, it's still not dirty!" Su Lian looked disgusted, "I'm going to have lice on my head~"

"Aji has no lice! Aji...Aji is clean!" The boy was unconvinced, and stared at Su Lian with his fists clenched. "My sister is so delicate, Aji hates my sister!"

Su Lian wanted to hurt him a few more words, but then thought that this is the son of a partner after all, and he can be regarded as a small partner, so she smiled and said: "Who said Aji is dirty? Aji is a good boy who pays attention to hygiene , and help dad wash the dishes after dinner, Aji is the best!"

Aji was not so angry, and wiped his nose with his sleeve again.

Su Lian smiled again: "Aji took a bath and it smelled delicious. My sister will take you around the village and let Wang Ergou see how handsome our little Aji is!"

Hearing this, Aji jumped into the house to take a bath.Su Lian gave Zhang Jianshan a look, meaning to go and bathe your son, I just changed into clean clothes, don't expect me to wash him.

Another meaning is that it is best for you to wash it too.

Zhang Jianshan seemed to understand instantly when he received his gaze, and walked in silently.

After the father and son took a bath, the remaining water was used to wash clothes.Su Lian wanted to take a wooden tub to fill with water, throw the clothes in it, and then move it to the yard to wash.As a result, the operation was as fierce as a tiger, and the big wooden basin filled with water could hardly be lifted.

Looking at the second girl of the Su family who couldn't lift her shoulders or hands, Zhang Jianshan secretly sighed.

Su Lian glanced at Zhang Jianshan, coughed twice in embarrassment: "I'll take it to the river to wash." So she turned around and took a smaller wooden basin, and put all the dirty clothes in it.

"Aji, are you taking your sister?" Zhang Jianshan looked at his son.

Aji said hello, and walked out of the yard bouncingly, Su Lian hurriedly followed with a basin in his arms.

Zhangjia Village is a small village built on the hillside, with only thirty or so families in the village.The village is surrounded by a large stretch of green hills, named Qiyun Mountain.Surrounded by the foot of the mountain is Qishui.This water is a tributary of the Yangtze River, which flows [-] miles southeast and joins the Yangtze River.

It is said that Zhangjia Village was opened a hundred years ago. Most people in the village are surnamed Zhang, and there are also two or three families with foreign surnames like Wang Erjia.

Su Lian's natal family is in Qinghe County, a mountain road twenty miles away from Zhangjia Village. It is a small town, but it is much more prosperous than Zhangjia Village.The Su family married the second girl who corrupted the family style into this valley, obviously they didn't want to see her anymore.

Little Aji led the way bouncing in front, and Su Lian followed behind, carefully observing the terrain of the village along the way.It was late autumn, and the wind blowing from the river was already a little bit shaved. Seeing that the vegetation on Qiyun Mountain was shaking and the forests were all dyed, it was the scene after the frost.

There are thatched huts built of loess everywhere in the village, chickens and dogs smell each other, cooking smoke curls up, and there are occasional oriole calls, which are chilling.

Su Lian was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery, but only thought about how to create a world out of this poor country in the future.

A mother and son walked towards each other, and saw little Aji standing on the side of the road, bowing his hands, and said in a childlike voice, "Hello, Aunt Wufu."

Seeing the child's respectful look, Su Lian seemed to be a bit educated, and his father still taught him something.

When Su Lian first arrived, she followed Little Aji's example, nodded and said, "Hello, Aunt Wufu."

"Oh, this is the bride of Jianshan's family, right? I heard that you have been in a coma for several days with a high fever, and everyone is worried about you. Didn't you wake up? It's great!" The Wufu family looked It looked kindly.

Seeing Su Lian, the child in the woman's hand broke free from his mother's hand, pulled out his paws, jumped and clapped his hands: "Here comes the broken shoes! Here come the broken shoes!"

Wufu's family was in a hurry, and slapped the baby on the back of the head: "What are you talking about!" After saying that, he hurriedly pulled the child away.The child was cursing while walking, and turned around to make faces at Su Lian.

"Sister, what are broken shoes?" Aji raised his face, his eyes were clear.

Su Lian expressionless: "Swear words."

"Are you scolding your sister?" Aji asked.

"It's not good." Su Lian turned around and continued walking.

Aji caught up: "Isn't sister angry?"

"What's the point of getting angry? It's just being scolded by someone. As long as you don't take it to heart, you won't lose a bit, and others will waste their saliva." Su Lian said with a smile.

What a joke, is she still afraid of being scolded?Those colleagues and competitors who were jealous of her talents in the previous life didn't hate her so much.She is used to slapping her opponents in the face with her performance, and thrives on the curses of her opponents.

When I came to the river, I saw women washing clothes gathered on the bank in twos and threes.Su Lian went up to meet her, and said with a smile: "Hi, aunts, I'm new here, I'm the bride of Brother Jianshan's family."

The group of women looked up at her, only two or three nodded to her, and the others turned their heads and whispered loudly.

"Seeing the broken shoes brought back by brother Shan, he woke up!"

"I thought she was dead!"

"It's clean when you die. Brother Jianshan is the same. Why bring such an unclean woman back? It's better to drown!"

"That's right, bringing the dirty things back will ruin the Feng Shui of our Zhangjia Village!"

Aji squatted on the bank to pick up small stones, and seemed to hear nothing.Su Lian was bored, and squatted down to wash clothes at a distance with the basin in her arms.

The river was cold, and the drenched coarse clothes were as hard as stones.Su Lian missed the fully automatic washing machine, dryer, and soft silk clothes in her previous life.

The original owner's hand is also like a spring onion, only the right knuckle has a thin layer of cocoon, which looks like a cocoon left by writing.After washing a few pieces of clothing, my hands turned red and ached from the cold.

She herself was born in a poor family, and her family was poor when she was a child. Thanks to the nine-year compulsory education, she was able to read books, and she did not miss any housework.Later, when I went abroad to study in graduate school, I had to do a work-study program to wash dishes.In addition, he likes sports and has good physical fitness.I didn't expect that in this life, I would catch up with the body of the second lady who is a schoolteacher in a small county, and she is more delicate than her returnee with a master's degree and a financial executive.

Su Lian couldn't help frowning.

"Hey, look at her waist, she looks like a vixen, be careful of your own man, don't be seduced by the little vixen."

The women's whispers floated into Su Lian's ears just right.

Su Lian turned her head to look at them, and said with a smile: "Auntie has won the prize, how can Lian'er see it so well?"

"Bah, thick-skinned enough!" a woman spat.

"Let's go, ignore this dirty thing." The women wrung out their clothes and left in twos and threes.

It was getting dark, Su Lian stood up and wrung the clothes, but his hands were too weak to wring them out no matter what.Carrying such a large basin of wet clothes home, I am afraid that I will be too tired to straighten my waist when I get home.

Really helpless, Su Lian was about to go home with her wet clothes in her arms, but when she turned around, she saw Zhang Jianshan walking towards her.

"It's getting dark, you haven't gone back yet, let me take a look." Zhang Jianshan caught a glimpse of the basin of wet clothes, and his heart became clear.

He took the basin, wrung out the clothes one by one, then carried the wooden basin and walked back.

Not a word.Su Lian said thoughtfully, it's really not easy for a man to be a father and a mother when his wife dies at a young age, leaving behind a cub.

Seeing his father coming, Aji threw the stone in his hand, jumped up and down and walked side by side with his father.

"Daddy, what are broken shoes?" The child said without any restraint.

Zhang Jianshan felt a pause at the foot of the mountain.

"Aji, don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Jianshan reprimanded in a low voice.

Aji was reprimanded by his father, feeling unhappy, pouted and said: "The aunts all said that my sister is a broken shoe, and my sister said that is a curse!"

Zhang Jianshan turned his head, looked at Su Lian in embarrassment, then lowered his head and said to the youngest son: "It's all nonsense for no reason, you can't follow the nonsense."

This man is really pitiful. After his wife died, he became a father and a mother. After marrying a bride, he was poked behind his back.

Su Lian rushed up and walked side by side with them.

Zhang Jianshan kept his mouth shut with a serious expression on his face.

"Lian'er didn't." Su Lian said in a low voice.

She still has to show some face.What's more, the reputation of a woman in this era is more important than her life. This is not just a loss of fame, but a substantial injury.

Su Lian thought to herself, she must find a way to earn her good reputation back.Otherwise, even if she can think about it herself, the partner and the kid will feel wronged for no reason.

"That's natural." Zhang Jianshan replied.

I don't know what he thinks in his heart, Su Lian doesn't care about it on the surface, but he is more or less depressed in his heart.
