Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 5
Liu Shi and Mo Ruhu haven't seen each other for more than ten days, so she talked about some small things in the family, and also said that Mo Qingli's recent changes, thinking that her daughter's ability to read is almost unforgettable, Mo Ruhu proudly touched her chin , It can be said that he shaved off his beard, only some piercing stubble.

Mo Qingli's uncle, Mo Rujiang, is at the east end of the village, backed by mountains. It used to be the old house of the Mo family, so there are more rooms. The five mud houses are covered with tiles. The roof of the thatched house is much stronger, because the backing is not far from the mountain, and a high courtyard wall is built to prevent wild boars and other wild animals from the mountain from coming down to make trouble.

Mo Qingli bouncingly ran in front, father Mo Ruhu followed behind with his third brother Mo Zisong, the three of them talked and laughed, the third brother was a little out of character, and talked to Qingli about things in school Interesting things, for example, there is a classmate in their class who is very rigid. When the teacher was teaching, he suddenly had a urgency to urinate, but he refused to ask for leave to go to the toilet. As a result, he peed his pants and was laughed at by them for a long time.

"So, to be a human being, you have to be flexible, and you can't die at the expense of your face, just like your elder brother, who went to set up a stall to write letters when he was resting. Although the classmates in the school said it was insulting, we really got benefits."

Mo Ruhu took this opportunity to educate Mo Zisong, "It's like the poor scholar in the front yard of the house we rented. He goes to the restaurant to drink all day long, slaps his swollen face to pretend to be fat, and thinks he is superior, but she spends all his money The money earned by the lady's hard work in embroidery is not the work of a man."

"Father, why didn't his wife reconcile with him?"

In fact, this era was considered enlightened, and those couples who could not survive were allowed to reconcile. The woman could also keep her dowry, and the widow could remarry.

"What kind of good family can you find after reconciliation?"

Mo Ruhu shook his head and sighed. Although there are still reconciliations now, they are very rare. Most of them are natal families with backers. Ordinary people still regard reconciliation and being divorced as shame. The current court is quite tolerant towards women, but men and women are absolutely unequal. This is a deep-rooted thought of almost everyone. You think that the hardships of talented ladies may be as happy as death.

"That's why I'm going to be a scholar. I'll be a scholar and a Jinshi in the future, and I'll be an official, so my sister can rely on me?"

Mo Zisong is already 11 years old. Children in ancient times have always matured precociously. He seems to understand what his father means. It is difficult for a sister with such an appearance to marry. If there is no family to back him, he will not be able to live a good life in his in-law’s house in the future. , if I and my eldest brother are well-off, the in-laws will not dare to make things difficult.

"En." Mo Ruhu touched his son's head, expressing his relief, and almost made Mo Qingli roll his eyes at the side. She is only seven years old now, but when it comes to marrying, the owner of the body has pretty good facial features. It's just that the skin is dark yellow due to long-term malnutrition, and the scars on the cheeks make it look ugly. It's too early to get married, so she doesn't believe that she can't make money, so she can buy good scar removal medicine. Somewhat touched, these family members are all her backers!
The three chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the courtyard of Uncle Qingli's house, the courtyard door was wide open, and her cousin Mo Qingju was sitting in the middle of the courtyard washing clothes, saw a few people coming in and said, "Third Uncle, you are here! "

As he spoke, he stood up, wiped his clothes twice with his hands, and shouted twice, "Father, mother, my third uncle brought cousin Zisong and sister Li over here!"

After a while, a man in his thirties came out of the house. He looked very similar to his father, but he had a dark face, a slightly square face, and thick lips. He was obviously a farmer. He looked very simple and honest. Li's uncle, Mo Rujiang, stood beside her was a petite woman in a gray cloth skirt, her aunt, Da Liu, who was somewhat similar to her own mother, with clear eyebrows and eyes, but her skin was darker.

"Girl Li also came along. Your grandma was still talking about you a while ago. I heard that you are well. You ate half a bowl of rice."

The eldest aunt Liu put her arms around Qingli and said, "You girl, you should pay more attention in the future, especially those who go up and down the mountain, you also have to pay attention. If you fall on your head, you will easily become a fool!"

As he said, he hugged Qingli and entered the house. The uncle's grandparents lived in the main room in the middle, and the houses on both sides were the residences of the uncle, aunt, and cousin. When he entered the main room, his grandfather Mo Fulai was sitting on the kang. He was smoking a big pipe, and when he saw someone coming in, he raised his head, exhaled the smoke rings in his mouth, and said slowly, "The third child brought the girl over here."

"Father, I'm here to give money. By the way, girl Li and the third boy also want to come and see you."

"Grandpa, I brought you and grandma an osmanthus cake. It's soft and smells like sweet-scented osmanthus."

Qingli handed over the oiled paper bag in her hand, unwrapped the rope on it, and said, "Grandpa, eat it, it's delicious."

"Okay, it's our girl Li's filial piety."

Mo Fulai is over 50 years old, his hair is already half white, and he looks kind and kind-hearted. When he saw Qingli playing tricks, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he praised, "Girl Li and Boy Song go to see your milk. God misses you."

"kindness."

Mo Qingli picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and held hands with Mo Zisong and came to the inner room. Mo Qingli's grandma, Li Shi, had already heard the voice and sat up, "Look, our girl Li is doing well!"

"Grandma, this is sweet-scented osmanthus cake, my father bought it."

Mo Qingli said, handing over the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her hand, and said, "Grandma, eat it, there are still some at home, I'll keep them for my brother and sister."

"Okay, okay, milk."

Mrs. Li said, took out a paper bag from the box at the end of the kang, handed it to Qingli and third elder brother Mo Zisong, and said, "This is the candy your hall brother brought back from the town, and he said it was a reward from the boss. I’ve left some for you, and you can take it with you later.”

"Grandma, this is the fruit candy sold in the town, it's very expensive."

Mo Zisong opened the package and saw a few pieces of hard candy inside. Qing Li looked far from the modern fruit hard candies, only light green and yellow, round, the third brother Mo Zisong was very happy, Picking up a piece and putting it in front of Mo Qingli's mouth, she said, "Ah——open your mouth."

Qing Li wanted not to eat it, but seeing the third brother's bright black eyes filled with expectation, she opened her mouth accordingly, and the scent of a kind of candy permeated her lips and teeth. It's time to eat one, it's sweet from the bottom of my heart, she deliberately expressed her enjoyment, "Grandma, third brother, the candy is so sweet!"

"Of course." Mo Zisong smiled, and carefully wrapped the candy. Seeing his third brother's actions, Qing Li was a little surprised, "Third brother, why don't you eat it?"

"Leave these for you and Zixi, and let the second sister taste a piece." Mo Zisong smacked his lips and said, "It's sweet, but my eldest brother and I ate it once in the school."
