The peasant's daughter-in-law of crossing

Chapter 25

Half a month later, Zhaodi and Zhongping slept in a new bed, and Zhaodi also put on new clothes.It may be that everyone is familiar with her, and they no longer feel that there is anything wrong with the birthmark on her face, and they are already pleasing to the eye.

And there are only [-] people left in the weaving workshop in the town. Aunt Yao is a very picky person and absolutely refuses to make do with it.Therefore, the remaining [-] people are all very good, they can be regarded as intelligent and dexterous people.Of course, some people are too shrewd and have a lot of thoughts, which makes everyone a little discordant.

Yingniang is especially valued by Aunt Yao, because she is good at crafting and has excellent comprehension, but she is not arrogant or impetuous, and she does not argue with those women.Aunt Yao thinks that she is calm, unlike some people who feel complacent when they think they are doing a good job.

After lunch every day, there is less than half an hour of rest time. Aunt Yao often finds Yingniang to do chores during this free time.When Yingniang spoke to her, she spoke a Beijing accent, which made Aunt Yao very comfortable listening.Because she doesn't like Yongzhen's dialect very much, not only because she doesn't understand well, but also because she thinks the dialect here is too vulgar and not particular at all.

Yingniang understood Aunt Yao's thoughts very well, so even when talking to other women, she tried to avoid some vulgar words so that Aunt Yao would not be offended.The nobles from the capital naturally look down on these peasant women, and Yingniang can understand.

On this day, the sky has been gloomy and gloomy, and in the afternoon it began to rain cats and dogs, with spring thunder rolling.After work was over, the female day-workers didn't know how to go home.

At this moment, Steward Yin came over with an umbrella to convey the meaning of Zhen Yuanwai, saying that everyone has been busy for half a month, and they will have a day off tomorrow, and there will be a day off every half month in the future.

The female day workers were all excited when they heard the good news, so they rushed home in the rain with their heads in their arms.

Yingniang covered her eyes with her hands, and was about to rush into the rain, but was stopped by Aunt Yao.Soon, Aunt Yao found an oiled paper umbrella and handed it to Yingniang, "Hold it quickly, if it gets wet, how can I have a good body to work with?"

Yingniang said gratefully: "Thank you, aunt."

Yingniang came to the intersection where Bo Ming met every day, and saw him waiting under a big tree.She ran over quickly, pulled Birming into the umbrella, and walked away from the big tree.

"There's always thunder and lightning in the sky, why are you still hiding under the big tree? The trunk will conduct electricity, and you are still stepping and standing, how dangerous!" Yingniang glanced around and saw that the surrounding area was empty, only this big tree It was the highest point, and she felt a little scared when she thought about it.

Birming didn't seem to realize the danger, he took the umbrella from Yingniang's hand, raised it higher, and turned the umbrella to Yingniang's side, his own shoulder was still in the rain, "Didn't you say you can't stand on the top of the mountain?" , can’t stand under the big tree?”

"Of course not, haven't you seen the scene of a big tree being struck by lightning and its branches broken?" In fact, Yingniang had never seen it either, but only read it in a book.

Boming suddenly said in surprise: "Last year, the cattle of the second aunt's family died suddenly under the big tree. Everyone said that they were killed by broken thick branches. From what you say, it is really possible that they were killed by lightning."

Ying Niang said seriously: "If there is thunder in the future, you must not stand under this big tree, just wait for me at the gate of the weaving workshop. It doesn't matter if others see it, if you want to make a joke, just make a joke."

"Okay." Bo Ming put his arms around Ying Niang's shoulders, and the two walked home on the muddy road.

As soon as they got home, the two quickly changed their clothes and shoes. The shoes were already soaked, and there was still a thick layer of mud on the soles of their feet, which weighed several kilograms.Although I took an umbrella, my body was wet a lot.

Yang Sanniang went to the kitchen to boil hot water for the two of them to soak their feet, so that it would not be easy to catch the cold, and she also told Zhaodi, "Hurry up and bring umbrellas to Zhongping and his brothers. There are two oil-paper umbrellas at home. When you come back, you It’s enough for the four of you to fight twice. Also, if you bring their clogs, the road back from Landlord Ge’s house is all downhill, and it’s easy to fall if you wear cloth shoes.”

At this time, Father Xue had already led the cow to a thatched shed behind the house. When he entered the door, he heard Yang Sanniang's order to Zhaodi, so he hurriedly stopped, "Why did you tell me that Zhongping and the others are the farthest away from Landlord Ge's house today?" Working in the back mountain is far away, Zhaodi has never been there, how can she find it? Let me go."

Zhaodi had already found out the umbrella and clogs, and was about to hand them over to Father Xue, when she saw Zhongping and his three brothers running into the yard with their heads in their arms.

Zhaodi greeted her happily, "Zhongping, you're back. Look, you're completely soaked, and you're still covered in mud. Hurry up and change it off, and I'll wash it for you."

At this time, Shuchang and Jiwang also changed out of their dirty muddy clothes, because Yingniang was scrubbing and washing their own and Boming's clothes, so they got up and prepared to collect their clothes and wash them together, only to see Zhaodi running away Come here and hug them all away, "Sister-in-law, let me do the washing, you've been tired all day today. I haven't done much work at home all afternoon, so I can't be idle like this."

Since Zhongping took Zhaodi's body, Zhaodi seems to have become more confident. She no longer has a pitiful face all day long, and she is very active in her work.

Yingniang saw these things in her eyes, and now every time she came back from the town, she almost didn't have to work, and Zhaodi rushed to finish the work.

On the one hand, Yingniang felt that it was a lot easier, but on the other hand, she felt that it would not be good for her to be as relaxed as a shopkeeper when she returned home?Although they are all a family, maybe everyone won't care about so much, but she is really afraid that they will regard her as the kind of person who thinks she can make money and thinks she is great.

At this time, Yang Sanniang brought hot water, "Yingniang, Bo Ming, let's soak your feet in hot water together."

Seeing that her mother-in-law treated her so well, Yingniang didn't think she would stop working when she went home, so she felt relieved and didn't think too much about it.

Early the next morning, the rain did not abate at all.

Because Yingniang had a day off, she slept in. Seeing that Bo Ming hadn't gotten up, she quickly scratched him, "Are you also on vacation today?"

Bo Ming turned over and kissed her on the face, "Housekeeper Yin said, if it's still raining today, we don't have to go, so we won't be able to open up wasteland. Pay a day's wages."

"Of course, I won't be paid if I rest at home, and it's not..." Yingniang almost said that she would be on paid leave. She nestled in Birming's arms, feeling tired, "It feels so good to sleep in."

Afterwards, the beautiful things are naturally unavoidable, but fortunately, the sound of the rain outside is loud enough that the people in the other rooms cannot hear it, they can only hear the sound of the rain.

After the tide receded, Bo Ming put his lips on Ying Niang's eyelashes and said caressingly, "Are you tired?"

Yingniang closed her eyes and rested her mind, and said with a silly smile: "Yes, I'm quite tired." Then she nestled in Bo Ming's arms again.

"You will accompany me up the mountain to see my master and brothers today, okay?" Bo Ming stroked the wet hair on her forehead.

Ying Niang slightly opened her eyes, "Huh? I'll follow...wouldn't it be bad? There are all monks there."

Boming kissed her lips again, "Go, go, when I went down the mountain, my brothers and sisters pestered me, saying that when I got married, I would take my wife to show them."

Yingniang was still troubled, "Would it be uncomfortable to be watched by a group of monks?"

"No, they all abide by etiquette. They won't crowd around you, just look at you. I thought, Master must also want to know what kind of woman I married. I will go digging in the vegetable field later. Potatoes, give them to eat."

"Okay then, I remember you said that your master loves roast potatoes the most, so bring some more." The two got up quickly.

After Yingniang washed and washed, she picked up the small bronze mirror and looked at herself, "Boming, do you think I can walk out like this? I'm worried that your brothers and sisters will laugh at you and say that you have found an ugly lady."

Bo Ming took down the mirror in her hand, "Don't look at it, it looks so good, how ugly is it? You see, you haven't been in the sun for the past half month, and you've become much paler."

Yingniang looked at Boming carefully, and felt that he was darker than before, but she seemed to be much paler.Standing with him now, it no longer seemed like she wasn't good enough for him.

"Birming, you need a haircut." Yingniang saw that his hair had grown to cover his eyebrows like a Korean man.

"Really? I'm no longer a monk, so I have to grow my hair long and wear a headscarf." Bo Ming felt that his hairstyle was simply out of the ordinary, so he hoped that his hair would grow long soon.

"Don't you remember, when I was in the bridal chamber, I said that I like your short hair. It's easy to wash and clean. If you comb your hair every day like a woman, it's so troublesome. The main reason is that it's not good-looking. You see The third brother and the fourth brother have only washed their hair once in a long time, and there are lice growing on their heads, it is too dirty."

Hearing what Yingniang said, Bo Ming also felt that it would be bad to have long hair, "But I'm worried that my parents will disagree. When I go out like this, I always get a bunch of people making fun of me."

"If others laugh, just laugh. Anyway, you are so good-looking. Today we are going to the mountains, and when you come back, you can tell your parents that it was your master who said that you can continue to have short hair, and your parents will definitely agree."

Bo Ming said happily: "That's right, Mom and Dad listen to my master's words the most. This time I go up the mountain and I can just ask my brother to give me a haircut. There are scissors and razors for haircutting in the temple."

"Well, let's go to the vegetable field quickly."

Bo Ming was wearing a coir raincoat and carrying a load of baskets, while Ying Niang was holding an oil-paper umbrella, and they went out together.
