Chapter 38 Your life experience
"Are there any customs on the summer solstice in Gyeongju?" Zhang Ci asked Chu Sheng.

"There is a custom of eating three delicacies. The three delicacies of the ground are fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as the three delicacies of trees and water. As for the staple food, there are noodles and dumplings. It is said that after eating dumplings, they can float into the water. On the surface of the water, you are not afraid of drowning." Everyone laughed when they heard this.

"Then let's eat these tonight." Zhang Ci said.After hearing this, Feng An went downstairs to make arrangements.

Chen Fan ate dinner with Huai Shan in the second wife's yard.Among them are three dishes that are the same as the old lady's yesterday: cucumber, amaranth and cowpea.

The second wife said: "Today is the summer solstice, and we in Gyeongju eat three delicacies. We eat noodles in Yuanfeng County, winter solstice dumplings and summer solstice noodles. Some counties eat dumplings."

"We eat wontons in our hometown." Chen Fan said.

"People in many places in Nanjiang eat wontons," said the second wife.

Chen Fan was very depressed.Jiangnan is her hometown, but here belongs to another country.The second wife didn't even ask her if she came from Nanjiang country, or which country she came from.Is it because the Liu family is too inquisitive, or is it too clear in their hearts?
Chen Fan changed the topic to the weather: "The weather is getting hot today."

"Yes." Huai Shan nodded, "The first two days were fine, but it was a bit hot. Today it is obvious, the sun is very hot on the body. By the summer solstice, the cicadas will start to sing, and the frogs can still be heard in the countryside. "

"I like listening to the sound of frogs, it's very lively." Chen Fan said.

"I don't like hearing frogs. It's too noisy. They're screaming in the middle of the night, and they're screaming before dawn. It feels like they're screaming all night." Huai Shan shook her head.

Chen Fan smiled: "Will it rain today?"

The second wife said: "I hope there will be some rain. The raindrops in the summer solstice are worth a thousand dollars. This year, there has been no plum rain, and maybe the rainy season is coming soon. Generally, the transplanting of rice seedlings is almost over by the summer solstice. You can plant them all, and gradually the fields will be free. When the plum blossoms come out, your house can be built faster."

"The seedlings at Wangjiadun are all planted. The 400 people who went to work today, I didn't expect there to be such a big battle."

The second wife's expression was indifferent, as if she was used to it: "Many Lizhengs in Yuanfeng County are capable. When the county was building the city wall decades ago, some Lizhengs gathered people to organize and coordinate, and the county government issued a notice. Arrange for people to buy materials. It’s not Lizheng’s turn to buy those jobs.”

After dinner, Chen Fan and Huai Shan stood together in the yard, wanting to hear the cicadas singing in the yard.She was too busy during the day to notice the cicadas at all.

The two stood quietly for a while, and there was really a cicada chirping, once, twice, which was more gentle.Before long, the cicadas will start to make noise.

Not long after, it rained, not too heavy and not too long, but Huaishan was very happy and said it was a good omen.Chen Fan was also very happy to hear that, and hoped that she would get better and better, and the Liu family would also get better and better.

The eldest wife and eldest son Liu Huairong came over and gave Chen Fan a piece of paper after entering the room: "This is your background, oh no, the background you want to use."

life experience?Chen Fan thought of the piece of paper that Guanshi Li gave to Wang Lizheng.

"I didn't tell you before, but I wanted to wait for Lizheng to accept it. If Lizheng asks something, it's good for Li Guanshi to answer it alone, so as to save you and Li Zhengshi from disagreeing."

Chen Fan understood.She looked at the piece of paper with some information written on it.

On the paper, this girl's life experience was miserable enough. She lost her father when she was four years old, and then lost her mother. People in the village said that she was against her father and mother, and that her uncle's family treated her badly.Fortunately, her grandparents did not treat her harshly, but when she was six years old, her grandparents also passed away, and she could no longer stay at home in the village.Her uncle's family sold her to Ren Yazi, but Ren Yazi was robbed by a group of human traffickers.

When Chen Fan saw this, his head became dizzy. Is she going to bear such a bad reputation here?
The following information said that she was adopted by a family, but her parents starved to death on the way to escape from the famine. She walked all the way to Yuanfeng County, where the Liu family saw her and took her home.

Chen Fan's head became even bigger. It doesn't count if he killed his biological parents, but he also killed his adoptive parents.

The eldest wife said: "My hometown is a village in the west of Shengping County. One of my clan brothers gave birth to a daughter. You are that daughter. Oh no, it's your replacement now."

"My elder brother is a grandson of my seventh uncle's family. He is several rooms away from me. My seventh uncle and my grandfather are not blood brothers either. He is a child of my great-grandfather's third son's family."

Great-grandfather, great-grandfather, father, eldest wife, there have been five generations, and the next generation of eldest wife and her clan brother is already far, far away.

"My clan brother passed away eight years ago, and my clan sister-in-law was already pregnant at that time, and she wanted to give birth to the child, but neither the adults nor the child could be kept, so it was still a son." The eldest wife sighed: "People in the village began to talk about it, saying that the little girl was hit with evil spirits, and her father and mother were killed. You have seen what happened later."

Liu Huairong said: "We have collected a lot of corpses these days. There is a 12-year-old girl whose household registration says that she was adopted four years ago. The girl was eight years old when she was adopted, and she is almost as good as my distant cousin. After all, the little girl will be wandering with the traffickers for a while. The old couple and the little girl are skinny and skinny. The little girl is quite tall, of course not as tall as you. Manager Li gave Li Zheng , is the household registration of the 12-year-old girl. There is also a piece of paper explaining the name you will use now."

It is common to change the name to register a new household registration.It was not easy for the Liu family to screen out such a household registration and get in touch with that distant family brother.

"Is this girl the same as the girl from your brother's family?" Chen Fan asked the eldest wife.

The eldest lady shook her head: "Who knows, that girl has disappeared. I don't know who lost or sold this girl. Anyway, after so many years, my hometown doesn't know about you. What should you look like? I won’t care about whether you are the child of my brother. That old couple is from Huaizhou. Huaizhou is so far away. Who cares who you are? As for how we recognized you, we don’t know. It doesn't matter, we recognize you as our niece, you are our niece."

"I have such a bad reputation, I'm afraid it will affect the Liu family."Before Chen Fan thanked the Liu family for adopting him, he didn't know the situation, but now that he knows, he has concerns.

The eldest lady smiled: "You don't have to worry about it, our Liu family doesn't believe in this. Birth, old age, sickness and death are common things. It's just that sometimes many things come together by chance, which makes it abnormal. Now we say that you are my distant niece. How many people will come to you and ask you which niece you are? The information is given to you to let you know that there is such a situation. If it really spreads one day, my Liu family is not afraid of it. You don’t have to be afraid, you are alone now It’s not a bad thing to have a bad reputation.”

This is true, if someone wants to make a bad idea, she will be more or less taboo about the life of her father Ke Mu Ke family.
