Xianyu's leisurely life through books

Chapter 12 Song Yu is Toxic
"Xiaoqi, add more cornflour and less flour." Song's mother stood in the yard, reminding her little daughter while washing.

These days, I have to rush to dig the ground to plant the rice of the second spring. The field is far away from the Song family. It is too time-consuming to come back to eat, so I take the pancakes and eat lunch directly in the field.

Song Qi was baking pancakes without turning his head: "I know."

Flour costs ten cents a catty, almost as much as meat, and she knows how to make it.

Song Qi couldn't help sighing when she thought of her family's past years.

Their family used to have more than ten acres of land. The third brother joined the army and sent 20 taels to the family every year.

Logically speaking, they should have a good life.

The big brother who can read is simply a gold swallowing beast.

Not only do you have to pay a fixed bundle of repairs every year, give gifts to your wife, but you also need to pay for him to participate in various activities such as poetry gatherings and outings with classmates. Isn't the family struggling to make ends meet?
In the past one or two years, it has become even worse, and the money demanded has become more and more, and the family's land has been sold until there are only six acres left.

By the way, if that old scalper wasn't lame and too old to sell at a price, it wouldn't be Pei Xiaoxiao's turn at all.

The eldest brother was admitted to Tongsheng at the age of 13, and now at 27, he is still a Tongsheng.

I don't know what I have been reading for more than ten years.

It looked like a hopeless thing, but the mother and the second brother always felt that there was still hope for the eldest brother to study, but they were eager to confess.

She and her two sister-in-laws have been embroidering handkerchiefs for so many years that they are going blind.

The third brother retired from the army at the beginning of the year, and when he learned of the situation at home, he became very angry and strongly demanded that the eldest brother not continue the imperial examination.

The eldest brother disagreed, but the third brother insisted. The two sides quarreled several times. In the end, the eldest brother couldn't resist, so he moved back from the county and studied at home by himself.

So far, the family expenses have dropped by more than half.

Even so, six acres of land still cannot feed and drink more than a dozen people.

Their aunts and sisters-in-law continued to do embroidery work, the second brother took on odd jobs, and the third brother went to the mountains to hunt game for money when the weather was good, and played tooth-beating festivals. They lived a decent life.

Just as she was thinking, Song Qi heard a "knock knock" knock on the door in the courtyard, and turned her head to look.

In the misty blue light, the mother was knocking on the third brother's door.

"Third brother, are you awake?"

The other two rooms, both adults and children, came out to wash up one after another, but the door of the east wing room was closed tightly, Mother Song looked at it as an eyesore.

Song Yu responded, and Song's mother said again: "Your daughter-in-law is recovering, let her go to the field today."

"Understood." Song Yu replied again.

inside the room.

Song Yu fastened her belt, walked to the other side of the room, stopped beside Pei Xiaoxiao's bed, and said, "Pei Xiaoxiao, get up."

That's right, because of the original owner's resistance, the couple have been married for nearly half a year, and the couple has not consummated the house, and they have been sleeping on separate beds.

Such a couple, in the eyes of others, is simply ridiculous.

Song's family, especially Song's mother, had great opinions on this, but Song Yu was left to the original owner, what could they do?
Pei Xiaoxiao still wanted to make peace with Song Yu, so of course she would not take the initiative to break this situation.

There was no movement in the bed for a while, but Song Yu called out again.

Pei Xiaoxiao responded.

But that's all.

Song Yu laughed angrily.

"Pei Xiaoxiao, wake up, wake up...Pei Xiaoxiao, do you hear me, get up quickly, Pei Xiaoxiao, wake up..."

Pei Xiaoxiao felt annoying mosquitoes buzzing in her ears, and the magic sound lingered in her ears.

It's a mental attack and it's maddening.

She covered the quilt over her head: "Don't make noise."

"Pei Xiaoxiao, do you want to go mining?"

Pei Xiaoxiao blocked her ears with her hands: "Song Yu, are you poisonous? Shout out early in the morning..."

what?
Mining!

Pei Xiaoxiao shivered and sat up abruptly.

She scratched her hair irritably, and said in an aggressive tone, "Got it!"

I have been recovering from illness, and my body clock has not been adjusted yet.

collapse!

Song Yu said in a cheerful voice, "Hurry up, I'll wait for you outside."

Through the mosquito net, Pei Xiaoxiao grinned at his back: Dog man!
The sky outside the window was just getting brighter.

Pei Xiaoxiao frowned.

Shouldn't you have to get up so early every day? !
After breakfast, the sky is bright.

Pei Xiaoxiao hurriedly approached the room, put on a homemade mask, and fastened a straw hat with half a circle of shading on the brim to ensure that the sun could only reach the eyes, and only then did she keep up with the large army.

"Little Wenwen, come here, mother will wear something nice for you."

Xiao Han turned her head to look back, and burst out laughing: "Sister and sister, are you going to rob or steal something? The cover is so tight, it's not ugly."

It's really annoying to have no good words early in the morning.

Pei Xiaoxiao gave her a look of "Are you an idiot?": "You can't even see it? Of course I don't want to be burned like black charcoal like you."

Xiao Han's face darkened.

Her skin is not fair, and she often has to work in the fields, how could she be white?
"White" and "hardworking" are two different things. Which family does not choose a hardworking girl to marry a wife?
Soong Yu was confused and married a lazy person like Pei Xiaoxiao.

She was very angry: "That's right, it's useless to be lazy like you, isn't it?"

"You can't think of sun protection measures, that's your problem." Pei Xiaoxiao nodded her head, "Don't use other excuses to cover up your stupidity, okay?"

Xiao Han was angry: "Why are you swearing?"

Pei Xiaoxiao didn't bother to talk to her anymore, she walked quickly to Song Wen's side, and put the hat and mask on her.

Song Wen was shy and reluctant to wear it.

Pei Xiaoxiao asked her: "Do you want to be tanned, ugly?"

Song Wen shook her head, with a troubled expression: "But wearing this is also ugly."

"Wearing this is just ugly for one day, and you will always be ugly when you get blackened. Do you want to be ugly only for one day, or always be ugly?"

"Okay, I'll wear it, I want to be white and beautiful like my mother."

"Hey, our Wenwen is really a good boy who loves to tell the truth!"

Everyone: "..."

Really shameless.

Xiao Han rolled her eyes straight: "Hypocritical!"

Does Pei Xiaoxiao care what they think?He took Song Wen's little hand and walked straight away.

Song Xue, a ten-year-old girl, tugged at Jia Shi's sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "Mother, with that on, can I really be as white and tender as Third Aunt all the time?"

Jia Shi looked hesitant: "Hmm...you shouldn't get tanned, right?"

"Then I'll make a hood and hat like that tonight too, okay?"

Nine-year-old Erya Song Lu then grabbed Jia Shi's sleeve: "Mother, I want it too."

Xiao Han: "..."

The summer sun is the most poisonous.

The person who was digging the soil with a hoe in front was sweating profusely, and Pei Xiaoxiao and the children who were pulling weeds behind were also covered in sweat.

Pei Xiaoxiao even felt that she was going to suffer from heat stroke at any moment.

This body has never done heavy work before, and squatting under the sun for two hours is the limit.

No, go to the shade and drink some water to rest.

She picked up the basket of weeds and got up.

But his legs went numb, his eyes turned black, and he smashed his head to the ground.

Mother Song, who happened to be nearby, supported her: "Be careful!"

It took Pei Xiaoxiao a while to recover and thank Mother Song.

Song's mother frowned tightly: "You are in such poor health, how can you have the strength to give birth to our old Song's family in the future?"

Pei Xiaoxiao: "..."

She didn't choke as much as before, presumably the third child made it clear to her, and she knew she was wrong.

Mother Song's expression softened a little: "It's good that you can correct your mistakes, and work with us more in the future, and your body will naturally become stronger."

Pei Xiaoxiao: "..."

I'm just a delicate little girl, who the hell wants to be strong?
Moreover, I want her to continue to go to the ground...

She asked: "Mother, just pull out the weeds in the overturned soil, right?"

See, we all know that we need to confirm our goals and work hard.

Not hopeless.

Mother Song's eyes became softer: "Yes."
