The black-bellied prince: the little princess of the chef

Chapter 52
It rained heavily all night, and after they washed the snails and kept them in clean water, they had a makeshift meal and went to bed early.Ye Qing just fell asleep for a while, fearing that the chicken shed would be soaked by the heavy rain, he touched the fire and lit the lamp again.

Mrs. Xu also thought of this incident, got up with a lamp and met Ye Qing, felt sorry for her daughter who was too capable and tired, lowered her voice and told her to go back to the room to rest, she went to check.Ye Qing couldn't resist, so he went back to the house.

At night, the straw house of their family was rattled by the strong wind, and the shadow of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard was faintly reflected on the shadow.Ye Qing was afraid of the dark, opened his eyes and saw the tree shadow outside, quickly pulled the quilt to cover his head, trembling with fright.The quilt was too tight and not ventilated. She was so hot that she was sweating profusely, but she didn't dare to take it off. The strong wind and heavy rain were really scary.

She was terrified all night, and didn't fall asleep until dawn.

In ancient times, there were no recreational activities on rainy days, and the whole family could only sit at home and watch each other.Women can still pass the time with female celebrities, while men can only sit under the eaves to watch the rain and brag.It rained for two days in a row, and the rain became much lighter, and the sky was slightly brighter.Because of the rain, the younger brother didn't come to pull the snails for the past two days, Ye Qing has been free for the past two days, so he learns from Mrs. Zhang to pull the soles of his shoes.

Zhang's hand embroidery is very skillful, and her embroidery can be sold at a good price in the embroidery workshop in Jincheng.Ye Qing couldn't learn delicate embroidery, so he could only follow Xu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to make shoe soles. Although this is a technical job, it is much simpler than embroidery.

Wu Yan didn't go hunting in the mountains these two days, he was bored at home alone, so he went to visit Ye's house.Over the past few days, the Ye family has accepted him both publicly and secretly.Especially Mrs. Xu, I heard from Ye Junbei that he went hunting in the mountains before dawn, and the days are getting better and better. She also let go of her prejudice against Wuyan, and likes Wuyan, a young man who can endure hardships from the bottom of her heart. .

Ye Qing looked out the window, elder brother and father seemed to be arguing about something.At first Wu Yan didn't express his opinion, he just listened quietly, but when the two of them were arguing with red faces, he only said a few words, only to see that both Ye Pingrong and his son stopped arguing.

"I really don't know when this rain will fall." Mrs. Xu looked at the sky, as if dark clouds were drifting over again, and said happily, "Fortunately, Qingqing prepared rations in advance, otherwise our family will have to eat food again in the past two days." Sweet potatoes." These days, they are used to eating rice and white noodles, and if they are asked to eat sweet potatoes, it will be difficult to swallow.

Hearing this, Ye Qing turned her head and smiled, but accidentally pricked her hand, causing her to frown in pain.Mrs. Zhang saw that she was piecing the thick soles with her bare hands, and quickly put down the handkerchief in her hand, found a thimble in the basket and handed it to her, "Silly girl, when you put the soles in, you need to use a thimble to push the nose of the needle through. , how painful should it be? My hand is worn out, and I may not be able to hold a shoe well."

Ye Qing took the thimble and learned how to use Professor Zhang, he really didn't find it difficult, and it was no longer easy to prick his hand.She took the soles of her shoes seriously and stopped talking. She just went to the place where the thread was changed and asked Mrs. Zhang for advice.

Mrs. Zhang helped her change the thread, sewed up the joints, and then returned the sole of the shoe to her. She smiled and said to Mrs. Xu: "Mother, when I went to Du Juan to borrow tricks a few days ago, I heard her say that the shoe soles are made at home. There are four new swallows in the swallow's nest, which indicates that there will be floods in April. I thought it was unreliable at the time, but now I believe it."

When Ye Qing heard an interesting topic, he couldn't help pricking up his ears.After Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, Mrs. Xu hurriedly echoed, "That's what the old saying goes, there are also four swallow nests at the door of your third wife's house, and I saw them when I went to catch chickens that day."

"So smart?"

"That's natural, but no one can tell the reason, but people of the older generation tell the people of the next generation like this." Xu also heard what the old people said, as for why, she really doesn't know .

Ye Qing always felt that this was too evil, but when he thought of the "butterfly effect", a butterfly in South America could cause a typhoon in Asia with just a flap of its wings, this similar natural phenomenon, the older generation's dictation could not explain it clearly for a reason.Anyway, it is right that they belong to the same natural phenomenon, so there is no need to entangle too much.

"Qingqing, when I went to Du Juan's house, Chunya was still clamoring to eat your stir-fried chives and rice shrimps." Mrs. Zhang thought of how Chunya ignored her father's scolding and begged her to pass on the message that day, and couldn't help but think. Laughing, "That girl is also gluttonous, she would rather be beaten to eat what you made."

It's fine if Mrs. Zhang doesn't mention it. She mentioned Dujuan before, and now she mentions Chunya again. She laughed and scolded Chunya for being gluttonous, and then took the opportunity to ask: "Sister-in-law, is Chunya's second brother okay? Their family is regarded as a prisoner." We're exhausted."

When Lin Qiusheng was mentioned, the smile on Zhang's face gradually faded, and she sighed, "I'm fine, I guess I'll lie down for another ten days and a half months. It's just that Du Juan is a pregnant woman. Uncle Lin listened to Wang Instigated by Fang, Du Juan and Qiu Sheng were separated to live alone. The family didn’t get any money, but instead gave them the money that Qiu Sheng borrowed when they got married. Now Qiu Sheng can’t earn money while lying down, and Du Juan can’t work with his stomach full. , life is miserable!"

"Oh, your Uncle Lin and your aunt are really soft-hearted. How can you listen to Wang Fang's words and do such a stupid thing? There are parents in the family, and they don't separate families. They take the words of their ancestors as nonsense Woolen cloth!"

Xu is a good mother-in-law, and when she heard that Lin Zongmu treated her second daughter-in-law like this, she panicked with anger.These two couples were also heartless. Wang Fang had scolded them more than once, scolding the eighteen generations of their Lin family ancestors with profane words, and they were still devoted to the eldest family.No matter how kind Lin Qiusheng and his wife were to them, they couldn't see it. They always felt that the second son and second daughter-in-law were not filial.

Ye Qing nodded, no wonder she asked Chunya about her second brother a few days ago, she immediately changed the subject and kept silent.She must be afraid to speak out, and she felt guilty when she heard it.To be honest, Lin Qiusheng was beaten, and she did feel a little guilty, but the ending of the separation of the Lin family is beyond her control.She could only sympathize with Lin Qiusheng and Du Juan in her heart, and then help them a little more when they were in trouble.Now, I can only sigh again: Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite!
"Xiuniang, when the weather clears, you can bring Qiusheng and Juan'er over for dinner, and let them taste Qingqing's handicrafts."

"it is good!"

Ye Qing thought, her kind old mother might be sympathetic to Qiu Sheng and Du Juan, but if she did this, would she bring trouble to Qiu Sheng and the others instead?
