Rebirth of the little peasant girl

Chapter 25 The Watermelon Incident
The night in Xiaohan Village, like every night in the past, came amidst the sounds of various insects.

After dinner, the villagers walked out of the house one after another, gathered together in twos and threes to enjoy the shade, gossiped by the way, chatted about family affairs, and shared the gossip they just learned.

The children also gathered together happily, playing hide-and-seek under the cover of night, and cheerful laughter rang out from time to time.

Han Yi and his wife Liang Xin had just had dinner with Han Yan, brother and sister, and the family was in a good mood today, thinking that their herbal tea had a bright future.

"I have already packaged the seven kinds of herbal teas that you will send to Youranju tomorrow with Yan'er, and weighed them with our scales. Each package is full of weight. Just take it with you tomorrow morning."

Liang Xin moved a bamboo stool and sat on the ground. There were two large basins in front of them. There were more than half of them filled with water for soaking light-colored and dark-colored clothes. Next to the basin was a bag of washing powder. Rubbing a light blue dress, which is exactly what Cambrian wore today.

After Han Yi heard his wife's words, he nodded in agreement.

"That's fine. I'll leave early tomorrow, and I'll be on the road before the sun comes out. It's cool on the road."

Han Yi was sitting on a chair by the table, wearing a coarse white blouse and gray black pants, with a happy smile on his face.Since he was a child, he has been eating in the land. Whether the family is doing well or not depends on whether God will let him have a good year. He knows that his family's conditions are not good. Apart from being able to drive, he has no one. Craftsmanship, my wife and children have suffered along with me these years, especially my little girl, because of poor health, I have suffered a lot from childhood to adulthood, and in the future I have the way to make money with herbal tea, so I can do it well If you work hard, life at home will be better.

"Father, when you come back tomorrow, go and buy some teacups. During the Lotus Harvest Festival, our family can open a tea shed, not only selling herbal tea, but also selling tea for tourists to drink."

Han Yan rubbed her eyes, and said in a sleepy voice.

Han Wen looked at her younger sister Han Yan who was sitting at the table sleepy, nodding her head, smiled slightly, and stretched out her hand to support her small body. After running such a long distance today, she also felt very tired , my sister's health is not good, she should be more tired!
After Han Yi heard his daughter's words, just as he was about to agree, he found that the little girl had fallen asleep on his brother's shoulder. Only the eldest son, Han Wen, sat barely awake, stretching out his arms to hug the little girl who had just fallen asleep. His son, Cambrian, had already fallen asleep on the table.

"Take the children back to the house to sleep, I'm exhausted from walking so much today."

Liang Xin put down the clothes she was washing, washed her hands in the sink next to her, picked up the towel beside her to wipe herself, and stood up.

"Ah."

Liang Xin picked up Han Yan who was sleeping, Han Yi picked up Han Wu, and Han Wen followed his parents back to the room where the three usually slept.

After turning on the light, Liang Xin put Han Yan on her small bamboo bed, Han Yan turned around and murmured a few words that no one could hear clearly, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Liang Xin accompanied her husband to put Han Wu on the big bed where the two brothers slept. Seeing that the eldest son Han Wen also changed his clothes and got into bed, he turned off the lights and left together.

Han Wen was lying on the big bed where he usually slept, looking at his younger brother who was sleeping soundly beside him, thinking about the family's experience today, he felt drowsy, and gradually fell into sleep.

When the moonlight shines through the windows and fills the room, as usual, the emerald green saplings next to Hanyan’s small bamboo bed emit green light, which complements the light-condensed lotus flower in Hanyan’s heart. The only difference is that the bamboo bed is gone. white eggs.

Han Yan's body was bathed in the moonlight and green light, the lotus flower seemed to gradually condense and become clearer, and the fatigue on her body gradually disappeared. In her sleep, Han Yan's face showed sweetness. sweet smile.

The next day, with the crowing of roosters, the villagers of Xiaohan Village started a new day.

"Be careful on the road, don't worry, pay attention to the vehicles."

Liang Xin put the herbal tea prepared yesterday on the back seat of the bicycle, and tied it with a rope to prevent it from falling on the road.

"Understood, I will pay attention."

Han Yi said while eating the hand-rolled noodles his wife made in the morning.

After quickly eating the noodles in the bowl, Han Yi put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, wiped his mouth, and pushed the bicycle.

"Then I'm leaving. You are watching several children at home. The herbal tea is almost finished. I was tired yesterday. Don't let the children go to Xiaosong Mountain today."

"Okay, you don't need to tell me, I will take care of the three of them. They are still sleeping soundly, and they probably don't have the energy to go up the mountain to go crazy today. After you send the herbal tea to Youranju, you will get the money Remember to put it away, and don't forget to buy some drinking glasses when you come back."

"Okay, don't worry, I won't forget."

After Han Yi finished speaking, he got on his bicycle and set off.

At this time, the sun has not yet come out, there are very few people on the street, and everyone is basically still sleeping, only occasionally a few people who go out to work, ride their bicycles and walk towards the outside of the village.

After the three of Han Yan woke up, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning. Bright sunlight came in through the window, and the room became hot under the sunlight.

After the three brothers and sisters got up, they first tidied up their quilts and cleaned up the bed, and then went to fetch water, brush their teeth and wash their faces together.

Liang Xin was drying the flowers and plants picked in the last few days in the yard, because the time was short, the last batch of herbal tea hadn't been dried yet.

"Mother, where is my father?"

After Han Yan finished washing, she handed over the toothbrush cup and face towel to her eldest brother Han Wen to take back to the house, and went to the yard to dry them with Liang Xin.

"I went to Youranju to deliver herbal tea before dawn. I should be going back now. Don't mess with it. There are noodles rolled in the morning in the kitchen. Let your elder brother go and make noodles for you."

Liang Xin kept moving her hands, glanced at Han Yan, and ordered carefully.

"Oh," Han Yan agreed, looked at Han Wen and Han Wu who had just walked over and said, "Brother, my mother asked you to cook noodles for us."

"Ah."

Han Wen turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Not long after, Han Wen's voice came from the kitchen, calling for Han Wu to serve noodles in the kitchen.

The three brothers and sisters sat in the shade of the yard, each with a bowl of noodles, and ate deliciously.

"Sister, shall we go to Xiaosong Mountain to pick flowers and plants today?"

Han Wen ate the hand-rolled noodles in his own bowl, and asked Han Yan who was sitting beside him.

"The three of you don't go to Xiaosong Mountain today, take a good rest for a day, and talk about it when your father comes back."

Liang Xin was drying herbal tea, and after hearing the eldest son's question, he raised his head and looked at the three brothers and sisters Hanwen and said.

"Understood, mother!"

The three siblings nodded in agreement.

"Actually, we have already picked almost all the flowers and plants on Xiaosong Mountain, and we have a lot of herbal tea at home. You can take a rest. Let's talk about it after the Lotus Harvest Festival."

Han Yan happily ate the poached eggs in the bowl, and said to her mother and elder brother.

Over the years, I have eaten so many types of noodles, but the hand-rolled noodles made by my mother are the best. The noodles are particularly strong and chewy, and they are served with a poached egg, which is really a great delicacy in life.When I grew up, when I went out to study, one of the delicacies I missed the most was my mother's hand-rolled noodles.

"Then can I go and play with Abu, Ding Ding, and Lin Lin today? It's been a long time since I played together. The last time I saw them, the three of them were complaining about me."

Han Wu gulped down the noodles in the bowl and said happily.

"Well, it's ok, the second brother can do whatever he wants today."

Han Yan looked at the happy look on the face of the second elder brother Camwu, and she laughed too. Once again, she must make the second elder brother happy forever, and not become as quiet and silent as in the previous life, losing joy.

"Mother, my sister said it's fine, so you promise me too!"

Han Wu looked at Liang Xin and said coquettishly.He still remembered that his mother had just said that the three of them should rest at home today and not go out.

"Okay, you can go, but remember to come back early before lunch."

Liang Xin looked at his youngest son's naughty and cute appearance, and said helplessly.Seeing that the children did not lose their cheerfulness and happiness due to the poor conditions at home, but instead performed better than other children, she felt very comforted. As long as the family works hard together, they will surely be able to live a life that is no better than anyone else's. poor people.

After breakfast, Han Wu went out to play with Abu, Ding Ding, and Lin Lin. After Han Wen cleaned up the dishes, Liang Xin drove him into the house to review his homework because school was about to start, leaving only Han Yan and Liang Xin took care of the herbal tea in the yard together.

……

At noon, after Liang Xin steamed the rice, he fried a scrambled egg with tomatoes, stewed potato vermicelli, a cold cucumber slice, garlic eggplant, two hot dishes and a cold dish in the kitchen. Wu hasn't come back yet.

"Awen, go to the house of Abu, Ding Ding and Lin Lin to find out where Xiao Wu is and what time it is. Tell him to come back for dinner."

Liang Xin said to his elder son Han Wen who was reading a book.

"Ah."

Han Wen agreed, put down his books, got up and went out to find his younger brother.

"Mom, why hasn't my father come back yet?"

Han Yan sat at the table and asked worriedly.Is something not going well, or else I should have come back long ago.

"It's okay, don't worry, I'll ask your father to come back and buy some things that are about to run out at home, and buy some drinking cups you mentioned by the way, so that you have to run to buy them when you need them."

"Oh." Han Yan nodded understandingly.

Footsteps were heard in the yard at this time, and Han Wen and Han Wu raised the curtain and entered the house.

"Where did such a big watermelon come from?"

Han Yan looked at the big watermelon that Han Wu and Han Wen were holding together, and made a sound of surprise.Liang Xin also had doubts on his face.

"I just went out when I saw my brother coming back from the south with a big watermelon in his arms."

While talking, Han Wen put the big watermelon on the table with his younger brother Han Wu.

"Grandpa gave it to me. When I was playing outside with Abu and the three of them today, I happened to meet Han Lu and Han Shan from my uncle's house, and Han Li from my third uncle's house. We went to Xiaosong Mountain together. When we came back Passing by the watermelon field at Grandpa's house, Grandpa happened to be picking watermelons in the field, and gave everyone a big watermelon, which I didn't want, but Grandpa insisted on letting me take it back."

Han Wu wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Liang Xin and said with a little panting.

"It's okay, if you give it to us, I will put it in cold water for a while to freeze it, and open it after lunch."

As Liang Xin said, he picked up the big watermelon on the table and used well water to freeze it.The sound of bicycles came from the yard, and Han Yi came back after going out all morning.
