supernatural peasant girl

Chapter 4 Bitter and Sweet

Lian Fang finally stopped being in a daze, looked in surprise at the two siblings who were discussing enthusiastically, and said, "Xiang Ru, this is not good, people respect me a foot and I respect others, let's talk about it... "

Seeing her preoccupied appearance, Xiang Ru would not be bothered to say such a thing if someone else said it, but this person is Fifth Sister, she is such a person, she can avoid collisions with others, even if she is hungry on the road I didn't have any strength left, and I had to save that little bit of meat for my little brother Mai Dong.

It can't be said that she is completely wrong, and I am not completely right, but people are always forced to show some instincts in order to survive.

So Xiangru said, "Fifth Sister, do you think they are reasonable people? If they are reasonable, you may be beaten, and Xiaoba and I are no different. We must have some means to deal with anyone, and we can't do it now." Talking about such things, if we are too weak, no one will reason with us, only if we become stronger, for example, if we are Li Zheng's family, then the sixth aunt, would she dare to treat us like this?"

Xiao Ba also came to his senses at this time, "It turns out that Seventh Sister, you always talked about Third Brother just now, just to keep them from touching us, right?"

After listening to what the two of them said, Lian Fang smiled wryly, "I'm just saying, you always have ideas, if it wasn't for you this time, I really don't know if I would hurt everyone."

Xiang Ru couldn't bear to see her like this, "What does the whole family say about getting involved or not!"

Xiao Ba also grinned, "Seventh sister, you really have a way, don't worry, we will become stronger in the future, and no one can bully us."

Just after finishing these bold words, he gasped a little bit distressed, "Just now the landlord's family wanted to give us a tael of silver! Why didn't you let us ask for it?"

Xiangru felt sore, one tael of silver was indeed a big deal in their eyes, and they knew that Lianfang and others went to help as laborers, and it cost eight coins a day, and how long they had to work, they could only have one or two taels of silver.

Xiao Ba was still muttering, "If you have a tael of silver, you can buy better medicine for Ophiopogon japonicus. After eating it, you can grow strong. If it's not enough, you can buy a few candies. He doesn't need so much medicine every time he takes medicine." Sad."

Xiangru's tears are about to fall, Mai Dong is his own younger brother, but all the people around him love him dearly, definitely no less than himself, obviously he can't get enough to eat now, Xiao Ba is only ten years old!A ten-year-old child, who can't even eat enough, is still thinking about Mai Dong...

What a miserable day!However, she won't suffer like this forever. Didn't she get over all the hardships last winter, and now that spring is here, she can think of a little more, there are still many skills that are useless, and this day will only get worse good.

Otherwise, who can I be worthy of?
The tears fell back before they flowed, and what should be said is still to say, "Xiaoba, if it is ours, it is ours, if it is not, then don't, think about it more when encountering things, if things are abnormal, it is a demon, that is, hitting Fifth Sister One slap and one tael of silver, and if something goes wrong in the future, we can't say it well, this time Fifth Sister has nothing to do, isn't it because we took advantage of it?"

In fact, there are still some things that Xiangru didn't say, seeing the landlord's appearance, she wants the lotus room to stay away from him, otherwise it is not impossible for her to be fooled into being the seventh concubine.

Xiao Ba still looked reconciled, "Hey, forget it, it's only a tael of silver..." with a heartbroken expression.

A tael of silver may be able to do a lot of things, and for the few people at this time, it is even more timely, but what Xiangru thinks is that if he wants to live, he must live well. Lianfang's idea is a big trouble.

It is good that they can live in the village.

For the rest, you have to rely on yourself.

Along the way, the three of them didn't speak a word, and went home with their own thoughts.

The eaves are low, and most of them are built with the trees dragged down from the mountain. The shape is a little weird. It looks like a few low sheds, which can be surrounded by a barely siheyuan. One side is facing a mire. The village raises cattle. Yes, occasionally someone will bring a cow to roll around, which is said to prevent mosquito bites.

For the gaps between several straw huts, put a few fence posts and add a firewood gate.

The grass in the yard has also sprouted, and it is soft to step on, and it can be less muddy in rainy days.

Xiao Ba smiled and said, "Seventh Sister, according to what you said, I will go to the river to pick up the pebbles when I have time, and we will pave a few paths, so that we can walk as comfortably as possible."

Xiang Ru smiled and nodded in agreement.

A thin and short figure came out dangling with a half wooden basin of water, walking tremblingly, and the hand holding the wooden basin was trembling, several people went up to snatch it at the same time.

"Mai Dong, what are you doing!"

Little Jiu Maidong raised her head and grinned with her teeth grinning, only to realize that there were some black charcoal dust on her face, mixed with water marks, she turned into a cat with a painted face, panting slightly, "Sister, Fifth Sister, mynah, you are back! I'm cooking for you!"

After finishing speaking, he fixedly looked at several people, with a small expression asking for credit.

With Xiangru Fu's forehead, Mai Dong is less than five years old!
What kind of meal did you make?It turned out that there were wild vegetables picked by Xiangrui just now in the yard. It seemed that Xiao Ba left them there and left the house. There was a small pile beside them, which looked like they had been washed.

"A Zhenpo brought us some rice, and gave me a bowl of rice noodles, saying that my sister can make rice paste for me to eat. I have already washed the rice, and there is water in the pot. I have washed the wild vegetables twice. This time, it’s still a little unclean, I’ll wash it again, put it in the pot, and then you can eat it, let’s eat wild vegetable porridge today—”

The voice is obviously immature, but it wants to imitate Xiangru's usual tone of greeting everyone for dinner.

The siblings in the yard all laughed.

The sparrows on the tree with crooked necks flew away.

Lemongrass ran into it, and saw that the stove had indeed been on fire, and the leaves on the ground were a little messy, it seemed that it was not a waste of time, a little rice on the side was washed and put aside, but the water was already hot.

Lian Fang quickly picked up Mai Dong, stretched her hand behind her back and touched it once, "Xiang Ju, pour hot water into the basin first, I will wash and change clothes for Mai Dong first, and then you can cook, Zi Cao... don't be in a hurry for a while, if you sweat, you're afraid of catching a cold."

Xiangru naturally agreed, Lianfang is very experienced in raising children, and it is said that she has had several younger brothers and sisters, but it was only mentioned once, who doesn't have some sad things in his heart.

Xiangru poured hot water into the wooden basin neatly, then continued to burn the fire to ladle water in, Xiaoba went to fetch water, Lianfang had already washed the face of Maidong.

The ground vegetables and lettuces have been washed clean. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to get out the shepherd's purse. After washing the shepherd's purse, I was thinking about how to eat it.

If it is really cooked into wild vegetable porridge, will they be hungry again?In particular, the fourth sister, Zicao, had already complained last time. She went to the toilet one more time, and was called lazy... Before, she drank wild vegetable soup without rice for too long.

But such a small amount of rice, a small bowl of rice noodles, does not have a bowl for cooking, and it cannot be mixed by steaming...

Make bricks without straw.

And this rice noodle is not just the rice noodle that we eat on weekdays, but it is made of rice ground into a pulp, drained with fine gauze and then dried. A Zhenpo's life is not easy. It turns out that she is dependent on a daughter, and she will be taken to enjoy the blessing after she gets married. , but she couldn't do without this Yueli Village.

She also received a lot of help from her, in the future... let's talk about it.

As soon as she gritted her teeth, Xiang Ru saw that the rice had been washed, so she broke two finger-thick sticks, added water to the washed rice, and put it on the sticks to steam.

Rice is so rare, if it sticks to the pot again, it will be heartbroken to death.

At this time, there is often not a grain of rice all day long.

She had an idea for a while, let's make a vegetable dumpling, even if there is no meat, it can still make the whole family full.With my heart, I quickly washed the shepherd's purse, chopped it all up, added the steamed rice, and picked a little rice noodles... It looked good after thinking about it.

Just so busy, seeing Lianfang entered the ventilated kitchen, "Fifth Sister."

Lian Fang smiled, and naturally squatted on the ground, adding fire to the stove, "Mai Dong is a big boy, why don't you want me to bathe him, I'll let Xiao Ba watch outside."

The stinky boy became shy.

Xiang Ru smiled and didn't say much, seeing that Lian Fang's eyes were a little lost, staring at the flames in a daze, as if he was still thinking about what happened just now, "Fifth Sister, let's make rice dumplings today. It's been a long time since I ate a meal , Fourth Sister probably won't complain when she comes back today."

Lian Fang bit her lip and said nothing, Xiang Ru didn't see it, and started to work by herself.

After the rice is steamed, put the lettuce leaves into the water and blanch them once. When they are soft, scoop them up and put them aside. The chopped shepherd's purse is also blanched in the same way.

I changed the water once, sprinkled half a bowl of rice noodles in it, threw in wild onion roots, two slices of ginger, and salt, and poured in the chopped shepherd's purse and rice when it was almost ready, and stir-fried it. Strong fragrance.

Lianfang and Xiangrui smiled at each other, Xiangrai kept on their hands, sprinkled with wild onion leaves, the white and green are very pleasing, with water on their hands, quickly knead them into balls, wrap them in lettuce leaves, that's good.

Xiangru picked two good ones, and then picked a chili and green onion root, stir-fried, added water and salt, and finally made a small pot of sauce, scooped a small bowl and put it aside.

Lian Fang turned around at this time, "Xiang Ru, what a clever idea, everyone can eat such a good thing with a small bowl of rice."

"Fifth sister, call Xiao Ba and Mai Dong, from now on we will eat meat every day, and I will make this for you when we get tired of eating!"

Xiao Ba soon came over, twitching his nostrils and laughing happily, Lian Fang went and returned, "Xianglu, Maidong let you go."

What's wrong with this kid?So he wiped his hands and said, "I'll go and see, Xiao Ba, send these dumplings to Grandma A Zhen, and send this bowl of things too."

Then came to the house, but saw Mai Dong sitting on the stool with a blushing face, the water in the wooden basin at the side was already a little cold, and seeing the fenugreek coming in, she said in a low voice, "Sister, the clothes are rotten."

Standing up like this, I really saw the pier of the buttocks. The fabric had been worn very thin, but now a hole had been torn.

Seeing his appearance, Xiang Ru felt a little sad, and drove Mai Dong back to the bed, took off his trousers, and took the needle and thread by himself, but couldn't mend it anyway, a little flustered, and doubted for the first time whether what he did was right.

Even though the days of rich clothes and fine food were bitter, it shouldn't be like this.He had just woken up, and Mai Dong was less than four years old at the time, and he knew he was lying on his body under the stick, and the bruises on his back persisted for several months.Seeing Xiangru opened her eyes, she burst into tears, "Sister, you finally woke up!"

A four-year-old child, lost his mother, lost his father, only had his only sister, but his soul was changed again, but he was like a little squirrel, even if he was beaten like that by the mother who continued, he still laughed with tears.

That house was a nightmare, and it was another beginning for me. No matter what, with a younger brother like Mai Dong, Xiang Ru felt that she had made a lot of money, so she tried her best to deal with her concubine, and finally escaped with the help of Di Ke.

The moment before she left, she stared at the courtyard wall and said, "Wait, you are all waiting, you will come back one day, and when the time comes, you must pay back a hundred times what you took away!"
