The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 38
Yao Yu said, "Yes, this is tomorrow's New Year's Eve dinner menu."

"Mom, you're so amazing!" Nuo'er couldn't help praising her, she didn't expect his mother to be able to write.

Although Xie Zhimo knew that Yao Yu could read, he was shocked to see her write the words.

Yao Yu read these over to the menu, then raised her head and said to Nuoer, "Nuoer will definitely be able to write more words in the future."

Nuoer nodded seriously, "Mother, don't worry, I will study hard."

Xie Zhimo secretly wrote down a few unfamiliar words, and thought to himself that he had to study harder.

"Anything else to add?" Yao Yu looked at Xie Zhimo.

"Enough is enough." Liu's annual reunion dinner is only these dishes, most of which are vegetarian. Eggs, pork and other meat dishes are placed in front of Xie Zhiwen, and sometimes they will share some if they are happy.

Nuo'er's attention had long been attracted by these words, and after a while, she asked, "Father, can you write?"

Xie Zhimo was a little ashamed, he could only write a few words, he would have read more books back then, but Yao Yu replied directly for him, "Of course your father can write."

"Great! Parents, can you teach me how to write?" Nuoer asked.

Xie Zhimo was about to refuse, so Yao Yu said, "Then let's teach Nuoer how to write your own name today, okay? Your father will teach you how to write your last name, and I will teach you how to write your first name."

Yao Yu guessed that Xie Zhimo should be able to write his own name. Sure enough, Xie Zhimo breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Yao Yu said, and picked up the charcoal Yao Yu had just used to write the word "Thank you" stroke by stroke on the ground. Watching from the side is very serious.

Xie Zhimo had never taught others how to write, so he just wrote on the ground on his own. Luckily, Nuoer watched carefully and did not raise any objections. After writing it once, Xie Zhimo began to write it for the second time. Yao Yu felt a little helpless. , but Xie Zhimo's face was tense, and she didn't know how to correct the tense state, but I have to say that Xie Zhimo's handwriting is a hundred times better than her own. Although it is written in charcoal, she can still see the handwriting Vigorous and powerful.

Xie Zhimo wrote three words of thanks in a row, then looked at Nuoer, "Are you sure?"

Yao Yu couldn't hold back his smile, it would be strange to meet like this, but Nuo'er nodded, "Yes."

Next, Yao Yu was even more surprised. Nuoer picked up the charcoal and wrote the word Xie stroke by stroke. Although it was a bit childish, I have to say that what Nuoer wrote was correct. The memory is already very good, but Nuoer's memory is even better.

Xie Zhimo glanced at it, nodded happily, "Yes, that's how it was written."

Nuo'er looked at Yao Yu and handed over the charcoal, "Mother, how do I write my name?"

Yao Yu didn't answer, but took Nuo'er's hand directly, "Your father named you Nuo, which represents a gentleman's promise, which means that a gentleman's promise is very important, and words must be kept." Nuo in traditional characters It is different from the simplified characters, "The word on the left is read as Yan, and the word of speech is the meaning of speaking, and the word on the right is written like this."

After Yao Yu finished writing, Nuo'er looked at it, and then said, "I will." Yao Yu let go of her hand as soon as she heard it, and Nuo'er wrote Nuo on the ground by herself, and then wrote her name completely. Write it down, Shano.

Xie Zhimo was very excited, and said that his son was smart, and Yao Yu said, "I'll buy rice paper for Nuoer when the New Year starts." In this era, rice paper is a precious item, and even Xie Lao Si is reluctant to use it , but Xie Zhimo was enlightened, "Okay!"

Nuoer is a good seed, Yao Yu and Xie Zhimo both felt that they must give him the best conditions for him to study.Nuo'er was very happy. He must study hard. With excitement, everyone ushered in the last day of this year.

Early in the morning, after eating two steamed buns for breakfast, Yao Yu began to prepare for the New Year’s Eve dinner. First, Yao Yu took out a large piece of meat, a small part of which was shredded, and the other part was made into meat for dumplings and meatballs Stuffing, dumpling wrappers will be rolled out later, and rice cooker rice is also simple. At that time, a pot will be taken out and the kang will be slowly cooked. The fish and meat Yao Yu will be marinated quickly and put aside. Among them, crispy meat, steamed buns and steamed buns can be steamed at that time.

In less than half an hour, the preparations for the New Year's Eve dinner were over. Yao Yu stretched his waist and asked outside the room, "When is the New Year's Eve dinner?"

Xie Zhimo was adding firewood to the fire, and replied, "Anything is fine." There is a custom in Shuangshui Village, you can eat it at any time, as long as the New Year's Eve dinner is ready, so you can see farmers' homes from morning to night I'm eating New Year's Eve dinner.

After Nuo'er got up, she took out all the snacks that Xie Zhimo bought in the town before and put them on the table.

Yao Yu thought about eating the New Year's Eve dinner early, and after eating, he had to take a shower and change his clothes. It was a lot of work. Xie Zhimo had already replaced all the sheets on the bed with new ones, and now he will go to the river to wash the sheets , These habits are all learned from Yao Yu. In the past, Xie Zhimo could not change the sheets for several years, and did not take a bath for several days.

After Yao Yu and Nuo'er brought the meal to the table, Xie Zhimo also dried the sheets, and the three of them sat around the table and happily ate the New Year's Eve dinner. In addition to shredded pork with peppers, pork offal was also put in the water. Pepper, so these two dishes were wiped out first, and the braised fish tasted good, but there had to be a little left, so everyone didn't finish it.

"After the new year, Nuo'er will be four years old." Yao Yu sighed. It has been almost half a year since she came here, and sometimes she felt as if she had adapted to this small village.

"Yeah, Nuo'er has become a big kid." Nuo'er continued, the most important thing is that he can go to the village school in the first year.

"Do you have any wishes for the New Year?" Xie Zhimo looked at Yao Yu and asked curiously.

"Yes, I will work hard to make money!" Yao Yu must work hard to make money, buy a carriage, build a house, and be a peasant landlord in this era.

Xie Zhimo saw Yao Yu's face glowing red, and secretly made a decision in his heart. When it gets warmer, he will go running darts and earn more money to support his family. Now he does not earn much from hunting every day, and Nuoer will also need to spend on studying in the future. The most important thing is Yes, he didn't want Yao Yu to work so hard.

Nuo'er imitated Yao Yu's tone and said, "I want to study hard!"

Immediately made Yao Yu and Xie Zhimo laugh, and the whole family was filled with joy. This seems to be the happiest and most memorable year Xie Zhimo has ever had. For Nuoer, it should be the most memorable year in his future life .

"Okay, let's tidy up all these first, and then take a shower and change into new clothes." Yao Yu said.Xie Zhimo and Nuo'er hurriedly put these dishes into the wooden basin as quickly as possible, and then took them to the river to wash them.

Yao Yu had already boiled hot water on the two stoves in the kitchen. With so many people and strength, the kitchen was cleaned up within a quarter of an hour. Nuoer went to take a bath first, followed by Xie Zhimo. Take the clothes of the two of them and wash them.

Finally, Yao Yu came out of the shower and found that Xie Zhimo had washed all his clothes and dried them in the sun. Yao Yu changed into a duck down jacket made of pomegranate red cloth. This was the first time Xie Zhimo saw Yao Yu wearing such bright clothes. The clothes were fascinated for a moment, and Yao Yu asked generously, "Does it look good?"

Nuoer nodded her head like a chicken pecking rice, Xie Zhimo coughed a few times to cover up her embarrassment, "Looks good, come and sit down."

Nuoer likes this dress very much, it is light and warm to wear. In the past winter, he would have itchy hands and feet every day, but this year he has never had any itching. Xie Zhimo loves the clothes on him even more, and he will touch them later For a while, touch it for a while.

At the beginning of the vigil, Nuoer was still excitedly writing his name on the sidelines, because he had just changed into new clothes, and he didn’t want to fetch charcoal, so he took a small wooden stick and drew on the ground. After a while, Nuoer yawned sleepily Day after day, before Haishi, Nuo'er completely fell asleep lying on Yao Yu's lap.

Xie Zhimo saw that Yao Yu felt a little uncomfortable in a sitting position, so he got up and carried Nuo'er to the bed.Yao Yu hammered her numb legs. It seemed that Nuo'er had grown some flesh, so her legs were numb.

After Xie Zhimo covered Nuoer with the quilt, she walked into the main room, walked to Yao Yu and sat down next to Yao Yu. Yao Yu smiled and said, "If you are sleepy, you can go to bed first." I always watch the Spring Festival Gala, and even if I don’t watch it, I will play on my mobile phone until late. This is the first time in ancient times to stay up late, although it is a bit boring.

Xie Zhimo waved his hands again and again, "Not sleepy, not sleepy." For some reason, without Nuoer, Xie Zhimo was a little restrained, and it was not like he had never been alone with Yao Yu before, but it seemed to be the first time that he got along so quietly tonight.

Yao Yu was roasting by the fire, and her mind was still thinking about the plan for next year. If Nuoer went to the village school, she seemed to be able to rent a shop in the town and sell some things, which could be considered as income. Anyway, there is a bullock cart, so it is convenient to go out , the more he thought about it, the more reliable he felt, Yao Yu raised his head and said, "Zhimo!"

"Yu'er." Unexpectedly, Xie Zhimo also spoke at the same time.

Yao Yu looked up at Xie Zhimo, and found Xie Zhimo sitting there restrained, "What's wrong?"

Xie Zhimo shook his head, "What do you want to say?"

Yao Yu said excitedly, "I want to wait until the new year begins, and I want to rent a stall in the town and sell some things to earn some money."

"I'll go and see it with you then." Xie Zhimo said, he is quite familiar with Hehua Town, especially the West City side.

What moved Yao Yu the most was that no matter what decision she made, Xie Zhimo would unconditionally support her, and she never seemed to object. In fact, she was a little worried at first, fearing that Xie Zhimo would think it was not good for a woman to show her face. Fortunately, Xie Zhimo is not so rigid , Yao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time was a little happy, "By the way, what were you going to say just now?"

Xie Zhimo's face became more and more red, he hesitated for a long time, finally he seemed to muster up his courage, and said, "Yu'er, I really like you."

Yao Yuweizheng, she really didn't think about the relationship between a man and a woman, she just thinks that the two get along well like they are now, Xie Zhimo is her umbrella, in the village, especially in ancient times, women don't get married, and they receive public opinion and harassment It is estimated that there are too many.

After Xie Zhimo said the first sentence, the next thing felt much smoother, "I know you don't like me, don't worry, I have absolutely no unreasonable feelings for you, I really want to live a good life with you, I will wait until you accept me."

There are no gorgeous words, but every word comes from the heart. I have to say that Yao Yu was touched, and the man in front of him seems to have nothing wrong. Maybe she can try it, maybe she can really accept Xie Zhimo?
