Peasant girls seek happiness

After lunch, the number of people in the market gradually became less and less busy, and the food stalls were finally not busy. Cheng San and his younger brothers discussed giving gifts to Zhang Dalang.

"It's time to send him away. We didn't tell him that he helped us. Just now, the third sister almost hanged himself in someone else's house. It's too rude." Cheng Wu said quickly: "If we really want to die in someone else's home, then why don't we avenge our kindness?"

Not to mention that what Cheng Chunxia did had nothing to do with the Cheng family, it was his sister, and he had no shame in saying that it had nothing to do with them.

Cheng San and the others discussed what to buy. Cheng Si said: "The Zhang family is not a wealthy family. It's the New Year, so let's buy something affordable."

After discussing it, Cheng Wu and Cheng Liu went to the stall that was not gone, bought two chickens, and cut a piece of meat. They went to the eldest sister's grocery store and bought two kilograms of sugar and a small jar of wine. They thought about it for a while. Cheng Wu went to the cloth store and bought nine feet of thick green cloth.

Chu Qi followed his second uncle, which meant that Cheng Wu was generous. If his third uncle would not be willing to buy so much, there was no cloth they had discussed before.

She was not idle either. When Cheng Wu bought meat, she picked out a piece of fat meat, which weighed more than a pound.

"Isn't there still meat at home?" Cheng Wu asked.

"To Ruhua."

Cheng Wu remained silent.

When buying sugar, she weighed an extra pound. When buying green cloth, she hesitated but didn't buy it.

Not to mention whether Ruhua knows how to make clothes, even if she makes such new clothes, she still has to dare to wear them!

She ran to the nearby grain store and bought five kilograms of brown rice, two kilograms of white rice, five kilograms of sorghum rice and two kilograms of white flour.

The fifth brother Cheng came out with his things and saw her waiting at the door and the rice and grain bags next to her. They carried them on their backs and left without saying a word.

Before entering the courtyard where the Wu family lives, Cheng Wu motioned to Lao Liu: "See if he is there? These things can't be taken advantage of him!"

Cheng Liu went in and walked around, and found out that Wu Quande had left long ago, so he called Fifth Brother and Chu Qi, "He left before noon, just like Ruhua leaving home alone!"

Cheng Wu and Cheng Liu went to give thank-you gifts to the Zhang family. On the seventh day of the lunar month, they knocked on the door of the Wu family: "Ruhua~"

Wu Ruhua heard her voice and hurriedly got off the kang and knocked on the door, "Chu Qi~" She looked behind Chu Qi and saw that she was alone, her face showed disappointment, but she quickly adjusted her expression , "Chu Qi, why are you here? Come in and sit down. Are my mother and Qing'er okay?"

Chu Qi saw her look in her eyes, "Three aunts and Ruqing are both fine." She turned around and moved in the bags of rice placed at the door. Wu Ruhua saw it and hurriedly stopped her, "What are you doing?" ?”

"Don't tear it up with me. Your uncles bought this for you. Although it's not much, it's enough for you to eat during the New Year."

Wu Ruhua shook her head anxiously, "This won't work. How can we trouble my uncles anymore?"

"It's just this time. You won't be afraid of trouble in the future."

On the seventh day of the lunar month, Wu Ruhua fell silent.

Yes, from now on my mother will no longer be my mother, and the uncles of the Cheng family will no longer be uncles.

"By the way, hide it and eat slowly. Don't let your father see it." Chu Qi warned again: "If your mother is gone, no one will take care of you in the future. You must learn to take care of yourself."

Wu Ruhua nodded slowly, her voice choked, "I know, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore." She paused: "Chu Qi, I'll trouble you to take care of my mother and Qing'er from now on."

"That's natural." When Chu Qi saw that the fifth uncle and the sixth uncle had come out of Zhang's house, he warned again: "If you have any difficulties, just go to Jishang or go to your aunt's house and tell us."

Wu Ruhua agreed in a low voice, but decided not to bother.

It's enough trouble for my mother to take her sister back to her parents' house. If she doesn't know what to do, she might make things difficult for her mother.

The Cheng family thanked them enough, and Zhang Dalang and his wife were relieved of their anger. After a few polite words, Cheng Wulin said casually when he left the house: "Brother Zhang and Sister Zhang should take more care of Ruhua in the future."

Naturally, the Zhang family will not refuse, it’s just a matter of convenience! They also like this child Ruhua, he is sensible and filial, but it is a pity that he has such a father.

The Cheng family are ordinary people. Although they have some shortcomings of ordinary people, they also have the kindness of ordinary people.

Not worrying about Wu Ruhua is their kindness. The old lady almost lost her temper when she heard that her daughter was divorced. Fortunately, Chu Qi was quick to talk and quickly supported her breasts and explained: "My third uncle and fourth uncle came to the door and have already returned the divorce papers to their family. Now it is reconciliation and have been filed in the Yamen."

In the past, the old lady did not want to have a divorced girl in the family, but now what else has the family not experienced? She had already seen it. She waved Ruqing over and touched her withered and soft hair, "Come back as soon as you come back. I won't miss you a bite to eat at home."

As for whether the third girl's brothers will support the two of them anymore after she is gone, that is a matter for the future.

Cheng Chunxia's initial anxiety and fear was put down at this moment. She pulled Ruqing over, kowtowed to the old lady, and cried: "Mom, I was wrong, Mom, I'm sorry to you and my father..."

The old lady frowned: "Get up, don't lie around every day, crying makes my head hurt!"

Everyone helped them up, and the old lady said: "Three girls, you have to live like your second sister, like your elder sister-in-law. You cry at every turn and give the child a bad look, which is not the way to build a family." mega."

She asked sternly: "Do you remember?"

Cheng Chunxia was startled and nodded shyly, "Remember it, I'll remember it."

The old lady didn't like to see her cowardly look, so she asked her sons to carry water, "You go and wash yourself up with Ruqing. On the first day of the new year, your mother and you go find some clothes that your three girls and the others can wear and change them..." …”

Then he made arrangements: "Ruqing will sleep with me at night from now on, and her mother, please arrange a place for your sister to live in!"

There is room at home, but thinking of her courage and experience, Yang hesitated to discuss with her: "Chunxia, ​​how about you stay with me for a few days first?"

After she is slowly persuaded, let her live with her daughter.

Cheng Chunxia hurriedly agreed, "Sister-in-law, I'm causing trouble for you."

"Why are my family talking about this? As long as you are good in the future, mom can rest assured and we will rest assured."

The stalls at the market did not close until the 29th of the first lunar month.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, on the seventh day of the lunar month, I was looking at the soap I had made and the improved small soap I had bought at a large price. As I was thinking about it, the old lady came over and said, "Isn't this just a soap? This small one is pretty good-looking. !" She said, picking it up, "Hey, it smells pretty good too."

Ah yes!

Chu Qi encouraged her to try the soap, "See if it works?"

The old lady refused, "If I use my little girl's eye-catching eye, wouldn't it be a disaster? Give it to your sister, sister-in-law and the others!"

Chu Qi didn't listen to her, so she wetted it with water, rubbed it with her hands, and then wiped it on the old lady's face.

The old lady was wiped all over her face and had no choice but to wash her face.

"Hey, don't tell me, this thing is really easy to use, it's dusty! It's slippery."

Chu Qi asked: "Nai, what do you think we will sell this soap and soap in the future?"

The old lady curled her lips and said: "Take it down! You have put away so many good things on this thing, how much do you have to sell it to get back the money? And this, who will buy it? If you have that kind of money, it is better to buy a piece of meat. The clothes can be made of plant ash. Wash it clean."

Got it!

Asking the old lady is nonsense.

Chu Qi snatched the soap from her hand and said with a straight face: "It's not easy to use milk, so don't use it."

Then he called my sister-in-law, "Just try it, it will be good."

She asked someone to try it. The old lady saw that the soap was much smaller and felt distressed. When she handed the soap to Uncle Liu, she couldn't help but stepped forward and grabbed it, "You are a big man, you still use this." ? You two uncles and nephews, please don’t harm your money."
