Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 43

The morning sun shines in through the window, bringing a ray of freshness and softness, which makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally.

Liu Ya yawned, stretched, and sat up on the kang, feeling happy physically and mentally, and in a particularly good mood.

"Second sister, lazy cat." Xiao Shu'er's voice sounded through the crack of the door, and then one of Shu'er's big eyes leaned over to look into the room.

"Heh, peeking at the girls' dormitory." Liu Ya picked up the shoes from the ground with a smile, and threw them towards the crack of the door.There was a "bang" on the door, and the shoes fell to the ground.

Xiao Shu'er pushed the door open with a smile and came in, first picked up Liu Ya's shoes left by the door, put them back under the kang, and asked, "Second Sister, which mountain should we go to today?"

"Don't go to any hills, just stay at home and accompany Dad to bask in the sun. Open the doors and windows of Dad's house, and carry out the kang mats and bedding to dry in the sun. In a few days, the second sister will make money. , let’s get new ones.” After Liu Ya finished speaking, she put on her coat and got off the ground.

"What? The second sister didn't take me out? Then can you go up the mountain alone? Second sister, I'm familiar with the mountain, I'll be your guide." Xiao Shu'er felt that she followed Liu Ya everywhere these two days Turn, it is much more interesting than going up the mountain alone to cut firewood, and I really want to continue to follow Liu Ya.

Liu Ya thought for a while and said, "No, I really have something to do today. Besides, I don't know if it's okay to make money, but the process may be boring and you won't like it. Stay at home today."

After speaking, Liu Ya came to the yard, fetched water, washed her face, and combed her hair carefully.The two braids hang down by the ears, and the black and smooth hair paired with a delicate and delicate appearance, Liu Ya herself thinks it is very cute.

After being narcissistic for a while, Liu Ya started to get busy.She put the willow hatchet in a basket, then went into the house and clamped the small horn knife in the kitchen with two chopsticks, wrapped it with a cloth strip and pinned it around her waist.This is to replace the scabbard with chopsticks and cloth strips, and the chopsticks are about the same length as the small ox horn knife, so it is convenient to take it when it is needed.

When Liu Shu watched Liu Ya do these things, he followed Liu Ya around inside and outside the room.He kept on saying, "Second Sister, what are you doing with my hatchet? Dad also asked me to go up the mountain to cut bamboo, and he wanted to weave baskets. Otherwise, let me go with you. Dad is always at home alone. , I don’t need to accompany you.”

"That doesn't work either. If you're really okay...then learn to write at home." Liu Ya thought for a while, went to the yard to find a branch, and wrote the word "willow tree" on the ground.Then he said to Liu Shu: "This is your name, it's called 'Willow Shu', you can write it accordingly, and I'll check it when you come back. You are not allowed to eat."

Xiao Shu'er agreed, then froze suddenly.After squatting on the ground and watching for a while, she raised her head and asked Liu Ya, "Second Sister, you, you know how to write? You're fooling me, it doesn't read at all, and it's not my name."

"Why not? The second sister just knows how to write, mother taught her, can't she?" After Liu Ya finished speaking, she glared at Liu Shu and went to look for something again.

Xiao Shu'er was still squatting on the ground to face those two words, with an expression of disbelief.He didn't know that the second sister could write, not to mention, she said she was taught by her mother!

When Liu Ya said this, she also felt that now that their mother had passed away, there was no way to prove it.Otherwise, she was originally a silly girl, how could she suddenly know how to write, it would be too difficult to explain.

After a long time, Xiao Shu'er came back to his senses, and asked Liu Ya again: "Second sister, what else did that mother teach you? You taught me everything. I also want to be like the second sister, who can do everything, and how can I do it? So powerful."

After all, Liu Shu is innocent, and he believes everything Liu Ya says.So he thought Liu Ya's ability to read and fight was something his mother taught Liu Ya back then.

Liu Ya secretly rolled her eyes, thinking that this kid is easy to deceive, but he is a bit serious.

However, it is not a bad thing for Xiao Shuer to love learning.Liu Ya simply wrote the words "hands, mouth, eyes, ears" on the ground.Tell him how to read and pay attention to how to write, and then touched Xiao Shu'er's head and said: "Let's learn a few words first, write well, and read it several times. In the future, as long as there is time, two My sister will teach you how to write, okay?"

"Okay, the second sister is the best." Xiao Shu'er laughed so hard that she almost slapped her hands. She simply brought the little stool where the elder sister used to wash clothes, and put it next to the words. Read lightly.And took the branch that Liu Ya found in his hand, and slowly stroked it to learn to write.

Seeing Xiao Shu'er's serious look, Liu Ya felt very relieved.And I thought that before I had no money to send Xiao Shu'er to school, I could teach him to write in this way.

I just don’t know whether there are Tang poems, Song poems, and great poets like “Li Bai” and “Du Fu” in the era I traveled through.Well, if not...that would be easy.

Liu Ya was thinking secretly, and then she brought all the things she needed to prepare before going to the kitchen for dinner.

The rice was made by Liu Xuer in the morning.Liu Ya is not used to getting up early, so Liu Xu'er makes breakfast.But Liu Xu'er's cooking skills are really not very good, basically cooking simple meals such as yam and leftover soup.

Liu Ya is not picky eaters, as long as she can eat enough.

Moreover, Liu Ya knew that Liu Xu'er had to go to help Aunt Niu's house clean up the vegetable field these days, which was actually very hard work, so she had to hurry up and make money.Can't just idle around all day.

After eating, Liu Ya took the things she had prepared earlier and went to Liu Dacheng's room to talk.

Liu Dacheng looked relieved and loving when he saw Liu Ya tidying up neatly. He nodded and said, "Be careful on the road, and don't run all the way up the mountain. It's not safe for a little girl like you. Actually, Ya'er, it doesn't matter if you earn money or not, don't tire yourself out, come back early."

"Well, I got it. Dad, don't worry." Liu Ya felt that it was a good feeling that someone cared and cared about her, and her heart was full of warmth.

Liu Ya was about to go out, when Liu Dacheng stopped her again and said, "Ya'er, there are two coins here, you take it with you. When you pass by Li's house, ask Aunt Li to pack a steamed bun for you and take it with you, and run on the mountain for a day , don't starve."

Looking at the two coins in Liu Dacheng's hand, Liu Ya felt a little blocked and a little bit astringent, an indescribable feeling.

But after thinking about it, he still took it from Liu Dacheng's hand.But Liu Ya didn't say "thank you", just nodded and said: "Then I'm leaving."

"Okay, let's go, come back early." After Liu Dacheng finished speaking, he watched Ya'er's back and went out the door.My heart is full of gratification.
