Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 3

At this time, it was completely dark outside, and the family members who were working came back one after another, and the yard became lively.Mrs. Zhang didn't care about the pain in her forehead, and hurried to direct, for fear that something would go wrong with something she couldn't see.

The house was low and the windows were small, there was no light in the house, and it was pitch black now.Liu's low voice sounded in the darkness, "Xiurong, hurry up and serve Yaoyao a bowl of porridge."

Mrs. Zhang always eats corn and black noodles on the head. When everyone comes back, the second and third daughters-in-law lead the children to take advantage of others.

When there is not enough, Mrs. Zhang will deduct the food from the maids. The eldest sister, Erman, and Sannier are able to work, so she is embarrassed to deduct the bowl of porridge. In the end, Yaoyao couldn't get enough to eat.

Every time, Mrs. Liu saves two bites of herself for her to eat. Today, the girl is ill, and after being so frightened, Mrs. Liu doesn't want to wrong her anymore.

Xiurong giggled in the darkness, "Mother, don't worry." Not only Yaoyao, but she also drank a few more gulps.No matter how poor the family is, the cook will never die of hunger.

Listening to their voices, Fu Yao consolidated what she knew - she was resurrected from a dead body.

The poor little girl fell into the river and drowned, but she happened to pass through, was rescued again, and then crossed by herself—carrying the previous memories.She secretly said: I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose, God made fun of me, I didn't want to come at all, if you have a way, it would be best to come back quickly and let me go back.

She closed her eyes and followed her train of thought. The one next to her was her mother, married from Yangliu Village in the south.His father’s name is Qin Dafu, his eldest sister’s name is Xiuqin, his second sister’s name is Xiuxian, and he hasn’t returned from working in the field, his third sister’s name is Xiurong, and his eldest brother’s name is Qin Ye. I also do some odd jobs at Zhou Dahu's house.There is also a little brother named Qin Yang, she is in charge of watching, that little brat was spoiled by Mrs Zhang, and specially bullies her.

Today is the little kid who has to go to the river, Yaoyao won't allow it, he almost fell down because of mischief, Yaoyao fell down by herself in order to save him, the little kid was so frightened that he was crying, and now he is in Zhang's house sleeping.

Speaking of which, the names of the children in the family were chosen by the mother who took two liters of rice and went to Mr. Li Zheng's private school.

Because my mother was born when the willow tree was sprouting, the name was Liu Ya'er. She thought it was ugly but she didn't have to change it. Later, when she was pregnant with her eldest brother, she asked for two liters of rice from her grandfather's house to find a private school. sir.

In addition to naming the eldest brother, she also named the next few children by the way.It's just that I didn't know how many children there were at the time, thinking that it would not hurt to have more, so I asked for several at a time.That gentleman was not stingy, and directly gave a sentence: "Ye Xian Yang Ming Qing, Qin Xian Li Yao looks, I think there will be no more than ten Ke Jiner students anyway."

The third sister is the most ghostly person, and doesn't like beauty, so she borrowed Qin Xianli Yaorong's words from her mother, and she fell in love with Yaozi, but unfortunately, her younger sister was born at that time, and she wanted the Rongzi.

In fact, the villagers rarely call their daughters by their names at home. They are all mixed names like big sister, Ermaner, Sannier, and little girl. They are a bit lazy and even call them Damaner, Ermaner, and Sannier. Line up and call.Man'er is a casual name for girls in village households, even with a little contemptuous connotation.

Only the third sister refused to be called that kind of name, because she thought it was rustic, and my mother followed her, and always called her Xiurong.

She was thinking wildly, when a girl's loud voice came in, "Mother, I'm back, is my little girl awake? Are you all right?" As she said that, she entered the main room alone, "Oh, why don't you light up the lights? Almost hit the door frame."

When Fu Yao heard the voice, she immediately knew that it was the second sister Qin Xiuxian who had returned. The second sister was the exact opposite of her name. She was bold and sharp, like a boy, not delicate and demure at all.

Xiu Xian touched into the room, reached out to get the oil lamp from the hole in the wall, took it outside, lit the lamp and sent it back, and took a photo on the kang, "Little girl, wake up, get up quickly, jump up and down alright."

As she said putting the oil lamp back, Third Sister curled her lips, "Second Sister, Mammy came here to suspect us of lighting the lamp."

Xiu Xian glared, "Ah? What's wrong with lighting the lamp? The landlord's house still lights the lamp."

The mother and daughter laughed, and then half of the children jumped in, "Mother, I'm starving to death, why don't you eat?"

Fu Yao squinted at him, this is the second elder brother Qin Xian, a bit smart, he even went to read a few times in his spare time, Zhang said he was a good student.

Qin Xian glanced at the room, and said: "I'm exhausted today, Zhou Papi is getting more and more stingy, and now there is no soup to drink during the rest, and his second boy was reprimanded by Mr. , not as good as me."

Zhou Papi is actually not his real boss, Uncle Zhou Zhou Haiquan, but the steward of their family, who is in charge of managing the outer courtyard and doing odd jobs.

Seeing that he was getting more and more complacent as he talked, Liu couldn't help frowning, "Er Xian, why don't you ask my sister if she's alright?"

The second elder brother just glanced at the kang, and smiled at his younger sister: "Little sister, are you okay, brother will catch a fish for you tomorrow." Of course, it was just casual talk, how could he really go? catch fish.As he spoke, he rubbed his belly again: "I went to eat, I was starving to death, and I can only drink porridge after working every day. Hey, I still can't get enough from porridge."

It just so happened that his father Qin Dafu came in, listened to his words and lightly reprimanded: "Baby, you can't leave your mouth all day long, wash your hands quickly."

After entering the door, several daughters rushed to say hello to him, he said a few words to Liu Shi, then came to see the younger daughter, touched her, and happily said: "Ah, it's all over."

Mrs. Liu smiled lightly and said: "Yes, our Yaoyao is very lucky, so I just drank two bowls of ginger soup, and there is no need to spend money on medicine. Why don't you give her an egg to eat, and make up for it."

Qin Dafu was a little hesitant, Xiuyao couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when she remembered how the nanny treated her mother. She knew that her father loved the child but he never violated the nanny's wishes and made her mother suffer a lot. She couldn't help but imitate the little The child looked like a baby and said: "Father, I really want to eat eggs."

After speaking, I grinned, feeling a little chilly.

As soon as Qin Dafu heard his daughter speak, he hugged her up and said with a smile, "Okay, daddy will let the nanny lay an egg for you to eat."

On weekdays, this little girl never wants to eat, she is well-behaved and diligent, this is the first time she asks for eggs, and Qin Dafu thinks she is such a small child, she will be scared to death when she falls into the river in the cold weather, she wants to eat An egg is also normal.

Xiuyao was very uncomfortable being hugged by him, she struggled to get down, her body was weak and her calf gave way and she almost fell, Liu Shi hurriedly hugged her.

Qin Dafu gave a few more instructions, and then went out to look for Mrs. Zhang.

Now that most of the family members are back, the yard is too small and seems a bit crowded.

The second aunt and the third aunt washed their hands and face at the door, and Mrs. Zhang talked to them, asking about things outside, the scene in the field and so on.

Qin Dafu walked over and said with a smile: "Mother, give my little sister a poached egg to eat, anyway, I don't go to grab medicine, why not lay an egg for her to nourish."

Mrs. Zhang pulled her face down all of a sudden, "Ah, has your wife learned to sue?"

Qin Dafu was surprised and said: "Mother, what are you talking about, what are you complaining about, Daye Niang didn't say anything."

Mrs. Zhang snorted, she didn't believe it, she said unwillingly: "Xiao Yang ate the egg, it's gone."

She still eats eggs, and the family spent a few dollars to thank those who saved her today, and they have to send some thank you gifts later, no matter whether they accept it or not, they have to express it, since this is the case , where there is food for her?

What a stinky girl who wasted food, this is enough to trouble people all at once.

The second aunt and the third aunt who were washing their hands over there gave each other a wink, curled their lips, and muttered in a low voice: "I don't do anything, and I want to eat two eggs at once."

Seeing Qin Dafu laughing at her, Zhang Shi was furious, "Why are you laughing, and you didn't ask Yang Yang if she was okay?"

Don't think she didn't hear Liu Shi training the second boy.

"Mother, the kid was just taken aback, nothing else, good food and good sleep." Qin Dafu smiled, still working hard for the eggs.

Mrs. Zhang refused, seeing Qin Dafu still standing beside her, she said in a low voice, "Silly boss, why are you so stupid?" He glanced to the side as he spoke, reminding him that even if he said it, he couldn't speak in front of the second and third family. .

Qin Dafu smiled, he didn't take it seriously, they were all a family, so they didn't pay so much attention.

At this time, Qin Tiezhu led the second and third sons to come in, and everyone greeted them, asking the maids to quickly set up a table for dinner.

Although the Qin family is poor and has a large number of people, the Zhang family has very strict rules, that is, daughter-in-laws are not allowed to sit on the table, not only are guests not allowed, even if they eat in their own family, they cannot share the same table with their parents-in-law, men, and children. Where to stand and eat or wait until everyone has finished eating.

It is said that this rule was passed down from her mother-in-law, but it is not the rule of the whole Taoyuan Village. Although the guests and daughter-in-laws do not come to the table at other people's houses, they are not so particular about their daily meals, but Mrs. Zhang insists on keeping this rule from her mother-in-law. down.

The men sat on a table in the west kang, old man Qin Tiezhu, eldest son Qin Dafu, second son Qin Ergui, third son Qin Sanshun, and two other grandsons, Qin Xian and Qin Chan.

Seven or eight maids wearing straw sandals gathered around the temporary wooden table in the main room to eat, each with a bowl of porridge with black noodles, a bowl of shredded pickled spicy vegetables, and a bowl of farmhouse miso.

There are a lot of poor people in my family, and it’s like fighting a war when eating, especially a few girls, you pick up more pickles, and my porridge is less than yours.

All this frightened Xiuyao, who had just arrived, as if she had entered a refugee camp. She couldn't help but rubbed her ankles. She was a little uncomfortable wearing straw sandals at first, and she wiped her little hands subconsciously on the front of her clothes, and was still worn by the patches. It hurts a little.

Everyone was busy grabbing food, when someone outside shouted: "Auntie, let's eat."

While everyone was looking out, Xiujuan, the eldest daughter of the third family, quickly picked up a chopstick of shredded spicy cabbage and put it into the porridge. , yelling: "Ah, you eat more, I want it too." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to grab it.
