The Splendid Peasant Girl of Space

Chapter 40

"I just came down from Pingshan." Ruan Shi said, put down the back of his back, grabbed a lot of green things from it, stuffed it into Shen Qingyan's arms, and said: "This is the wild vegetable I dug today, here are some for you The two sisters add a dish."

"Aunt Lin, you gave me so much at once. What do you eat? Even if you don't eat, isn't there still Grandma Lin at home? Let's take it back and give it to her." Shen Qingyan put down her work and took the wild vegetables Take back Ruan's back.

"That's right, Mrs. Xuetian, don't give up on Qingyan's thoughts, it's rare that she still thinks about your mother-in-law." It was still the woman in gray who said before Ruan, "There are so many of us, each of us has one A small handful is enough for Qingyan and their sisters to eat for a few days." He grabbed a handful from his back and put it in front of Shen Qingyan, and then several other women put it on it one by one, and it was actually very piled up. Taller.

Only then did Shen Qingyan truly understand the true meaning of the phrase "Everyone gathers firewood and the fire burns high". Seeing the sincere smiles on their faces, she suddenly didn't want to refuse, but took Shen Qingyu's hand into the stove, and after a while She and Shen Qingyu came to everyone holding bowls of steaming porridge.

"My aunts, Qingyan has nothing to entertain. I think the aunts must be very cold when they come to the mountain early in the morning. Now that they have arrived at Qingyan's house, they will drink a bowl of porridge made by Qingyan to warm up. These dishes, Qingyan Accepted, thank you aunts." After speaking, she pulled Shen Qingyu and bowed to everyone.

"That's what you said, Qingyan, your sisters are having a hard time, how can you let us drink porridge, keep it for yourself." The woman in gray rubbed her hands on the corners of her clothes. White rice porridge, and it's not the clear porridge at home that doesn't have a few brown rice grains.

"It's okay, the aunts probably also know that I'm a helper. These are bought with the shopkeeper's advance wages. Yu'er and I have already eaten. If we accidentally eat too much, the aunts will help me eat." Let’s drop some, the weather is cold, if you leave it for a while, it will cool down, and you have to spend firewood to reheat it, Qingyan is also quite embarrassed.” Shen Qingyan showed a look of embarrassment on her face.

"Yes, my aunts are about to drink to warm up their bodies. Aunt Li, you see that your hair is wet, and the corners of Aunt Wang's clothes are also wet. In this way, when it's time to eat, you will inevitably catch a cold. It's better to drink some first." Warm up your body, and my sister said that when you wake up alone in the morning, you must eat something, otherwise you will not have energy for the day." Shen Qingyu was also helping to persuade.

But the women are still a little hesitant. They are used to not eating in the morning. Although they are hungry, as long as it is not busy in the farming season, they can handle it. However, they still can't survive the rice grains of a few orphans. The hurdle in my heart.

"Could it be that the aunts still think that my house only has porridge and no side dishes?" Shen Qingyan saw that the few people were not moving, so she closed her eyes and administered a strong dose of medicine.

"Of course not." The faces of all the women were flushed red, and they couldn't say anything for a while. It was the woman in gray who slapped her thigh and greeted everyone, "This is Qingyan's share." Heart, we can't let you down, sisters, don't be polite, folks in the village, no matter how polite you are, it will make her feel that we treat them as outsiders."

"That's right, Auntie is right." Shen Qingyan agreed, as soon as she heard this woman speak, she knew that she was a straightforward person with a straightforward heart, and this kind of person was easy to get along with, so she asked Ruan Shi who she was when she had time .

"You, Mr. Guan, are so rude. It could be that you have been hungry for a long time. Now you just have to find an excuse." Another woman pointed at Mrs. Guan and joked, while introducing to Shen Qingyan, "Her maiden name is Guan, and her husband's family name is Guan. The surname is Han, you can call her Aunt Han, she is a well-known cool person in our village, if you have any troubles in the future, you can go to her, her husband is a mason, he is much better than those of us who depend on the sky for food."

"Hey, what's so strong, my man can only lay a few bricks. It's all manual labor, and he can only go out to find some work during the slack season. The family has to live on the few acres of Susukida." Guan smiled and said to Shen Qingyan Said: "But Qingyan, it's true that you come to me anyway, anyway, you are all from the village, so you can help if you can."

He turned his head to look at the woman who spoke just now, "Mother Shanzhu, I don't believe that if Qingyan came to your house one day, you would just watch and ignore it."

Several women joked with each other while drinking porridge, and Shen Qingyan also recognized these people with [-]% or [-]% recognition.

"Qingyan, didn't you just say that you want to build a chicken coop?" Guan put down the bowl, looked at the pile of stones on the ground, and then turned around to greet everyone, "How about we help their sisters build a chicken coop, anyway, it's not too difficult .”

"Okay, it's early now, everyone has worked hard, and it's time to go back and cook for the family." Guan responded positively.

The other women rolled up their sleeves without saying a word and started working.

"Hey, aunts, what are you talking about? Qingyan didn't intend to invite you to drink porridge." Shen Qingyan was anxious, "I was used to this kind of work before, and the two of us can do it well."

"I know you are capable, but you are still young, and your strength is not as good as those of us adults who are used to farm work. You and Qingyu will help weave wheat straw by the side." Zhu, known as Shanzhu Niang, stopped her Shen Qingyan who stepped forward to help.

Shen Qingyan and Shen Qingyu had no choice, Guan and the others snatched all the work in their hands, so they had to pick up a bunch of empty bowls and wash them by the river. Of course, she told Shen Qingyu to stay away from the river so as not to fall.

While washing the dishes, she glanced at the space, good guy, it's only been one night, and the seeds she planted have begun to germinate. Looking at the originally empty black soil covered with green shoots, the corners of Shen Qingyan's mouth involuntarily turned up Bending up, maybe it won't be long before I can lead my younger sisters out of poverty and become rich.

"Sister, there are fish in this river." Shen Qingyu's pleasantly surprised voice interrupted Shen Qingyan's thoughts. Looking at her younger sister's face full of longing, she couldn't help laughing. This little girl must want to eat fish. I haven't cooked fish for them, so I smiled at Shen Qingyu and asked softly: "Qingyu wants to eat fish?"

"No, no, it's great that we have meat and eggs to eat now." Shen Qingyu hurriedly suppressed the longing in her eyes, and looked away, but the corners of her eyes still glanced uncontrollably into the river, that look She wanted to but tried her best to show a look of indifference, which made Shen Qingyan feel sore and hurt. She was only 6 years old. Children of this age should be the most greedy. How could she show such a look of wanting but not caring? And dare not want the look.
