Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 48 Returning to the Village to Buy Rice
Liu Ya knew that it was a very unexpected thing that there was a small bamboo shed selling water here suddenly. After all, this road has been around for many years. It is because there are post stations far away, so people who walk this road will come go in a hurry.

And if you want people to accept your small service area and rest here, you have to give some time to those who pass by.At the very least, people who go out want to be safe. It is estimated that most people are afraid that the water here is "unclean".

After waiting for a while, Liu Ya was ready to close the stall.Because she calculated the time, the road section she chose happened to be in the middle of the two post stations. If she set off in the morning and arrived at her place at noon, if she left later, it would be dark when she arrived at the next post station.

Often people who are in a hurry will not be in the mood to come here to drink water.It doesn't make sense how long she keeps this small water shop.

In fact, there is nothing to fix here.The bamboo shed is not going to be demolished, anyway, it will come tomorrow.Moreover, Liu Ya intends to perfect this small bamboo shed day by day, and maybe build a restaurant in the future.

It's the bamboo tube for water made by Liu Ya and a few bamboo cups. I need to find a place to put them away.After all, this is considered an initial investment, and it is the same as a jar for wine and a bowl for rice. How can you just throw it away after using it once?Liu Ya felt that she was a poor person now, and she had to learn to live frugally.

Only one of the three bamboo tubes was drained of water.Liu Ya also poured out the water in the other two bamboo tubes, and will fill them again tomorrow.Because the water will not be fresh overnight, it will affect the taste and taste.

Liu Ya thought for a while, since no one came on this mountain, she simply carried the bamboo tube and bamboo cup back to the mountain spring.Placed in a dense bush, it will not be found unless you look carefully.

Closed the stall, in fact, it was still early.If it is calculated according to the time of the clock, it is more than three o'clock in the afternoon.

Liu Ya didn't go back immediately, but walked around the mountain, vegetabled some mushrooms, and chopped two bamboos, ready to go home for Liu Dacheng to weave baskets, and then went down the mountain.

Liu Ya now has money in her pocket, two cents plus 22 coins.Although it wasn't a huge sum of money, it was after all a local business, and it was also her first pot of gold in this world.It's not quite gold yet, but it's a good start.

Liu Ya remembered that the hare she had caught before hadn't been eaten yet, and remembered that Xiao Shu'er said yesterday that she hadn't eaten rice for a long time, so she thought about using the copper coins to buy some rice and noodles first.Only when you eat well and your body is strong can you use your energy and physical strength.

Liu Ya asked Xiao Shu'er about it, and she knew that the family with the most fields in the village was the Wu family.The Wu family would sell the surplus food and vegetables they could not finish, and would also send them to restaurants in the town on a regular basis.Some people in the village have too little land and not enough food, so they all go to Wu's house to buy.

But Liu Yake didn't want to go to Wu's house at all, and then thought of what Liu Dacheng told her when she went out to go to Aunt Li's family to buy a steamed bun to take with her for lunch.Liu Ya thought, would the Li family also sell grain?

Pingshan Village is not big, with a total of dozens of families.The Li family is considered to be in the upper class of the village. The few acres of land in the family is enough for food. In addition, the head of the Li family is still working as a long-term worker in the town and has a monthly salary to subsidize the family. Naturally, they live comfortably.

Liu Ya roughly knew the direction of Li's house, and when she got down the mountain, she carried a bamboo pole and walked directly to Li's house.

At this time, it is still early for each family to make dinner, so the eldest daughter and daughter-in-law of each family like to sit and chat at the door when they have nothing to do.

When someone saw Liu Ya going down the mountain, they pointed at her.Some said that the silly girls of the Liu family were no longer stupid suddenly, and that the Liu family was lucky to have one more laborer and one less trouble-maker.

Some also said that the silly girl of the Liu family is very crazy now. It didn't take only a few days to beat the three brothers of the Wu family and her third aunt, and she was seriously injured.

But these words were said from a distance, and when Liu Ya approached, these people fell silent.

It was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman with her head crossed and wearing a red dress, like a newly married daughter-in-law.Seeing Liu Ya approaching, she looked up and down, then said with a smile: "Girl of the Liu family, your clothes are so pretty."

"Well, my mother did it." Liu Ya replied seriously.

Because she had heard these people gossip from just now.But the little daughter-in-law in red didn't say a word, and she didn't say a word about herself.So in Liu Ya's heart, the impression of this little daughter-in-law has increased a bit.

"Your mother's hands are so skillful." It could be heard that the little daughter-in-law was sincerely admiring, and then said: "Girl of the Liu family, what are you doing here? What are you doing with the bamboo pole?"

"Go to Li's house to buy some rice. The bamboo poles were used to weave baskets for my father." Liu Ya answered truthfully.

Liu Ya knew in her heart that her previous life was too lonely and cold.And from now on, I am Liu Ya from Pingshan Village, so I can no longer live my life arrogantly.Getting along with the decent people in this village is also the foundation of life.If it weren't for this kind of thinking, Liu Ya would never talk to irrelevant people casually.

Hearing Liu Ya said that she was going to Li's house to buy rice, the little daughter-in-law was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "To my house?"

"Your family?" Liu Ya was taken aback, and looked up and down the little daughter-in-law, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't want to be the Li family's aunt.Or is this the daughter-in-law of the Li family?
Seeing Liu Ya was stunned, someone beside him smiled and replied for the little daughter-in-law: "Yes, silly girl, you just woke up, you don't know yet, the Li family is not separated. She is the new daughter-in-law of the youngest son of the Li family. Chunniu." Then she said to Chunniu: "The girl from the Liu family is talking about your eldest brother's family, how can your family have any surplus food to sell?"

Chun Niu kept nodding, and then asked Liu Ya, "Can't you find my sister-in-law's house? I'll take you there."

In fact, Liu Ya was really not sure about finding the Li family, so she nodded and followed behind Chun Niu after hearing what she said.

When everyone saw Chun Niu taking Liu Ya away, they talked behind their backs.Some people said that the silly girl was not stupid anymore, and her voice was pleasant to speak, while others said that the dress worn by the girl from the Liu family was really pretty.

Chun Niu took Liu Ya out a few steps, and when there was no one behind her, she asked Liu Ya: "They all call you a silly girl, but you are not stupid now, can I call you Ya'er too?"

"Yes, okay." Liu Ya nodded and agreed.

"My natal family is from Lijiatun in Houshan, and I just married in Pingshan Village." Chun Niu seems to be quite talkative.

After hearing Chunniu finished speaking, Liu Ya looked up at her, as if she felt that Chunniu still had something to say.But Liu Ya didn't know what she meant, and didn't know how to continue, so she kept silent.
