The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 2
"Mother doesn't want me to go to accompany Zhimo with my body covered in blood."

Mrs. Liu retorted angrily, "It's fine to wash it down with cold water, and boil some hot water."

To put it bluntly, Mrs. Liu felt sorry for the firewood, "If I use cold water, I figured I'd have to use up all of this tank, so I don't want to drink what mother will drink tomorrow morning. It's such a hassle to boil water."

Liu thought about it. When she went to Yao Yu's house, Yao Yu's parents said that Yao Yu was born well. At first glance, she was fat and white. They also said that it was because she didn't do farm work at home. Not less, in fact, Liu knows that the Yao family's words are nice, but in fact Yao Yu is lazy and lazy, and the family doesn't want to support them, so sell them for a good price, otherwise some parents would let their daughter find a ghost marriage.

At the thought of spending nine taels of silver to "buy" Yao Yu, Liu's heart aches to death, but what can be done?For the sake of the fourth child's future and his prestige in the village, he had no choice but to do so.The fourth child in her family is going to be a great person in the future. Thinking of this, Liu's mood really improved a lot, "Now that you can move around, you will cook tomorrow morning's meal, and the fourth child's meal will be delicious. some."

Yao Yu responded, seeing Liu Shi leave, Yao Yu continued to add firewood to the stove, and the water boiled in a short while, Yao Yu mixed cold water, adjusted the water temperature to a suitable temperature, and planned to wash Nuoer's face, but in the end After washing it three times before she could see Nuoer's little face clearly, Yao Yu sighed, "Is there any other clothes I can wear?"

Although Nuo'er didn't understand what Yao Yu was going to do, she still shook her head obediently. Nuo'er's clothes were left over from the second son Shuanzi's wear in the big house, so she was much older, and they were all tattered, so she couldn't wear them. I only gave it to Nuoer when I was done, but fortunately it is summer, and I don’t feel cold even if I have a hole in my body.

Yao Yu sighed, and simply took a bath for Nuoer's body. Since she really didn't have any extra strength, she put the dirty clothes back on for Nuoer. After washing, there was not much water in the pot, so Yao Yu had to add more water. Add firewood.

Nuo'er felt much better after taking a bath, and a smile appeared on her face. Seeing that the water in the pot was boiling, Yao Yu got up and locked the kitchen door, and then asked, "Can Nuo'er wait for me on the opposite side?"

Taking a bath and being watched by others, even though Nuoer is only a three-year-old child, Yao Yu is still a little uncomfortable. He would definitely not agree to let Nuoer go out, so Yao Yu had to let Nuoer go to the opposite side of the stove Fortunately, Nuoer obediently sat across from her.

Yao Yu just took off his clothes, the blood and clothes had already stuck together, if he pulled the clothes a little harder, fresh blood would come out, but after taking off the clothes, Yao Yu almost passed away in pain.After panting for a while, Yao Yu picked up the towel and wiped his body bit by bit. After his body got used to it a little bit, he took a ladle and poured water on his body.

The water that dripped from Yao Yu's body was blood red. I don't know how many times Yao Yu flushed it before the water that flowed to the ground was almost transparent.Yao Yu brought a change of clothes from her natal home, and she struggled to put them on. Seeing the mess everywhere, Yao Yu didn't bother to tidy up, so she took Nuo'er back to her room together.

It took more than an hour just to take a bath, Yao Yu struggled to climb onto the bed, and Nuo Er obediently lay next to Yao Yu, probably because of the bath, she slept very sweetly.Yao Yu stared at the dark roof. In ten days, the original owner would be too late. It was obviously impossible to escape, not to mention not knowing the way, and with injuries all over his body. One: die.

While Yao Yu was thinking about how to escape this catastrophe, he fell asleep in a daze.

"Damn it, what time is it, don't cook yet." The door of the house was hammered, and it felt like it would collapse at any moment.

Nuoer was frightened and sat up, staring blankly at the door, trembling all over, Yao Yu sat up, pulled Nuoer to pat him on the back, and shouted to the door, "Here we come."

"I'll put the things in the kitchen, you come out and finish them soon, the fourth child can't be hungry." Liu left cursingly, "What time is it, and you're still sleeping, you really are a lazy eater."

Hearing the fourth child, Yao Yu's eyes lit up. That's right, fourth child Xie, Xie Zhiwen, the only scholar in the family, has passed the children's examination, and is currently reviewing at home, preparing to come back from the exam for a scholar. Since he is a child student, he must be a sensible person , and the fourth child's status in the family is also very high, if he is willing to speak out for him, maybe he won't have to die. Thinking of this, Yao Yu seems to have some hope.

After Yao Yu washed up, she went to the kitchen. After yesterday, Nuoer seemed to be more attached to Yao Yu. When Yao Yu went to the kitchen, she followed behind. Yao Yu simply dragged Nuoer to the kitchen. There are two sets of noodles, one set of thick noodles is more, and one set of thin noodles, there is only one bowl. You don't need to think about it, the thin noodles must be prepared for the fourth child.

Looking at the ingredients, Yao Yu thought for a while and decided to make the simplest noodle soup.

To be honest, Yao Yu himself hasn't cooked for a long time. When pouring water to knead the noodles, he almost poured too much water. Fortunately, he still cooked and got used to it quickly, but this body can't Too much force, or you will have to pull the wound again.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Not to mention the fine noodles, Nuo'er can't even eat a few mouthfuls of thick noodles, but when she sees the white noodles, her stomach growls.

"Noodle soup, do you want to eat it?" Yao Yu was still very happy about Nuoer's closeness.

"Think." Nuo'er replied truthfully.

"Then you sit here, and I'll serve you a bowl when I'm done." Nuoer sat on the stool next to her according to her words, but her eyes never left Yao Yu's hand for a moment.

Yao Yu mixed the two portions of noodles into batter and put them aside, then started to boil water. After the water boiled, Yao Yu first put in the thick batter portion bit by bit. After it was cooked, Yao Yu found a Huan didn't find any salt, so he just sprinkled chopped green onion and took it out of the pot. He filled half a bowl for Nuo'er, and Nuo'er started to eat while holding it.

"Be careful, don't burn it." Seeing Nuo'er's delicious food, Yao Yu felt a lot happier, turned around and continued to make the thin batter, and prepared to serve it to the fourth child after thinking about it for a while. He filled a bowl of coarse batter by himself, sat next to Nuoer and ate it.

The big and small had just filled their stomachs and hid the bowl when they saw Mrs. Liu walk in, "It took so long to cook, you want to starve us to death."

Yao Yu hurriedly picked up the gnocchi, and Liu's sharp eyes saw it all at once, thinking that Yao Yu wanted to eat it himself, and was about to start scolding, but saw Yao Yu hurriedly said, "Mother, fourth brother must be hungry, I will take this bowl Send the batter to the fourth brother, it’s ready on the stove too, you eat first.”

Mrs. Liu nodded after hearing this. Sure enough, Yao Yu became more obedient after being beaten up.

Xie Lao Si lives alone in a house. This house is different from other houses in structure. It is built of solid blue bricks. Looking at the grass on the roof, it should also be newly renovated. It seems that the Yao family really treated Xie The fourth child is regarded as a treasure.

Yao Yu knocked on the door twice, and soon a voice came, "Who is it?"

The voice seemed to be that of a gentle and elegant man, Yao Yu cleared his throat, "It's me, here to deliver meals to my fourth brother."

Xie Zhiwen quickly opened the door. He looked like a handsome scholar. He was not wearing the coarse cloth clothes of a peasant family, but a long navy blue gown. Xie Zhiwen took the noodle soup from Yao Yu and brought it straight into the room.

Seeing that Xie Zhiwen didn't say anything, Yao Yu hurriedly called him, "Is fourth brother free here? I have something to talk to you about."

Xie Zhiwen stood where he was, turned around and said, "What's the matter, sister-in-law?"

Although Xie Zhiwen looked very kind from the outside when he said this, Yao Yu could still hear a hint of displeasure in his words. Yao Yu hesitated for a while, and said, "Fourth brother should know that you and I are together. The third brother is a ghost marriage."

Xie Zhi Wen En said, which was the answer.

"As long as a woman can be buried with a man after death, it can be regarded as a ghost marriage, so this time of death does not necessarily have to be my age, what does the fourth brother think?" Yao Yu observed Xie Zhiwen's face while talking, but Xie Zhiwen never showed any expression .

"I understand what the third sister-in-law means." Xie Zhiwen didn't answer Yao Yu's question, but just looked at Yao Yu with a strange look.

Yao Yu didn't understand what kind of look it was for a while, but he still felt cold when he heard Xie Zhiwen's words. Xie Si was obviously unwilling to help, "Then don't bother the fourth brother."

Xie Zhiwen watched Yao Yu leave, a look of cruelty flashed in his eyes, but he soon returned to that elegant scholarly look, and no one could see that the person in front of him would show the look just now.

Yao Yu went to the kitchen and found that there was not even a drop of soup left in the gnocchi soup made with rough noodles, and there were all finished bowls on the stove. Seeing Yao Yu came back, Mrs. Liu said, "Wipe the bowls, and then Go feed the pigs and wash these clothes."

"Mom, where's my gnocchi soup?" Yao Yu asked lightly.

Mrs. Liu snorted coldly, "Do you still want to eat? As long as you don't starve to death, what's the point of growing so much meat? You can't kill it and eat it."

Yao Yu didn't say anything, but luckily she ate a bowl in the morning to stuff her teeth, otherwise she would have starved to death before Jiji's day.Yao Yu put the bowl into the wooden basin, and took Nuo'er to wash the bowl by the river.

Halfway on the way, Yao Yu suddenly realized what Xie Zhiwen's eyes meant when he looked at her. It was clearly the eyes of a dead person!
