peasant young lady

Chapter 28

There were continuous knocks on the door, and when no one responded, Chen yelled softly, "Achen, Dalang's daughter-in-law, are you there?"

It turned out to be Mrs. Chen!Cheng Xia responded, patted Xiaolong, leaned into his ear to comfort him, "It's Grandma, don't be afraid," and then opened the door, "Mother."

"Hey," Chen looked carefully into the room, and quickly took Xiaolong into his arms, "I took Xiaolong away, you guys should go to rest early."

"Grandma, I want to sleep with auntie." Xiaolong said while carefully grabbing Chen's collar.

"Stupid child, don't disturb your uncle and aunt's business," said Yang Dalang with a meaningful look, "Ah Chen, you guys go to bed early."

Yang Dalang still didn't raise his head, he only responded with a muffled voice, and Chen Shi sighed and walked away holding the reluctant Xiaolong.

Cheng Xia suddenly felt that Chen's face-changing skills were even more exaggerated than her own mother Zhang's. In front of Headhunter Yang, he was obsequious, in front of Yang Erlang, he asked for warmth, and in front of Yang Lihua, he became aggressive again. Just now she saw Chen's in front of Yang Dalang again. Ingratiating and humble, is this the mother's attitude towards her son?
Why does everyone in this small poor mountain village seem to have a huge secret, which is unpredictable.

And what did Mrs. Chen just say?business?sleep?She and Yang Dalang have a bad reputation, so they are sleeping with each other.Thinking of her as a girl in the 21st century, since she has a lot of time, she can't waste it on love. After traveling to the Ming Dynasty, how many people have this treatment, she wants to take a good tour of the great rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty, and then share her experience Make a note and bring it to the grave after death. When the descendants find it, it will be another anecdote.

I thought it was very beautiful, but the most urgent thing now is to make candied winter melon. It happened that the night was quiet, and Yang Dalang also brought quicklime, so I decided to make it today and try it.

As said and done, Cheng Xia took the wax gourd pieces processed by Lin Xiu from the kitchen to the room, and immediately moved all the chopping boards in. Seeing Yang Dalang's puzzled eyes, Cheng Xia smiled, closed the door and started to work.

First cut the large winter melon into appropriate strips, and finally, on a whim, Cheng Xia showed off her skills by cutting the winter melon into the shape of plum blossoms, which looked extremely chic.

Cheng Xia asked where the quicklime brought back by Yang Dalang was, and brought it into the house by the way. He searched the corners of the house and found two large pots. Having finished the kang, he squatted next to Cheng Xia who was stirring the lime water in doubt, "What are you doing?"

"Make candied winter melon."

"Candied winter melon?" Yang Dalang muttered, "I've never heard of it."

of course!Cheng Xia smiled triumphantly, thinking if you had heard of it, what else would I do.

Pour out the clear liquid on the upper layer of the mixed lime water, then pour all the cut winter melon strips into the clear liquid, take the chopsticks and stir it to ensure that the lime water has covered all the winter melon strips, Cheng Xia smiled in satisfaction, and resorted to With the strength of breastfeeding, he moved a large basin to the corner and put it away, stood up and let out a sigh of relief.

The most critical step has been sat down, let it stand overnight, and you can continue to do it tomorrow.

Cheng Xia clapped her hands and breathed a sigh of satisfaction, feeling that Yang Dalang was staring at her, turned her head puzzled, and saw Yang Dalang's eyes dodging for a moment, "It's getting late, let's rest."

Cheng Xia nodded, looked at the brown sugar water brewed for Xiaolong on the window, felt the temperature, and it was still not cold, so he gave it to Yang Dalang, "Brown sugar is very good for the body, you can drink it."

"What about you?" Yang Dalang took it, but didn't drink it.

"I'm losing weight." Cheng Xia finished brazenly, spread out the quilt on the table and lay down in it, without looking at Yang Dalang's surprised eyes, just thinking deeply, the bra she was wearing had never been changed, she had already She felt very uncomfortable, but she just took a few clothes from Cheng's house and forgot to take the bellyband. She slept in a bra every night, and she felt that she was going to be strangled to death. In the past few days, I have to go to Cheng's house to bring all Cheng Xia's clothes.

Cheng Xia turned over and saw that Yang Dalang had drunk the sugar water and was already lying down on the bed. Cheng Xia looked over and finally fixed on the cabinet under his feet, which contained her backpack and peppers. These things must be dealt with as soon as possible. Yang Dalang didn't go home during the day, and Cheng Xia didn't dare to put it in an unlocked cabinet.But today Yang Dalang came back early, if she opened the cabinet and looked, then she couldn't hide these things.That was too much of a risk, and she had to be put among the rose bushes as soon as possible.

Today has just entered April, and the pepper seeds should have been sown long ago. It is already too late to plant them now, and it will be too late.

Hearing Yang Dalang's even breathing, Cheng Xia quietly got off the table, tiptoed to the foot of the bed, wanted to quietly open the cabinet to have a look at peace of mind, but just as her feet landed, she heard Yang Dalang's voice, "What's the matter? "

Cheng Xia smiled embarrassingly, "Oh, no, it's okay, my legs are numb, come down and move around."

After speaking, he quickly climbed to the table and lay down, thinking that Yang Dalang is really responsive, seeing how he gets along with Chen, he doesn't look like a normal mother and child, and he doesn't know what's going on in it.
"Ah, take it easy," the familiar moan broke into Cheng Xia's ears domineeringly as always, accompanied by Yang Dalang's embarrassing cough, the symphony of the night really never changed.

"Scream, call me out, louder." The sound of the collision was louder, it sounded like it was intentional.

"Erlang, you, take it easy, brother and sister-in-law are sleeping." Lin Xiu said intermittently, every sentence was broken into several petals.

"Crack!" Listening to Lin Xiu's painful cry, the voice sounded like a slap on Lin Xiu's face, "Aren't you fucking talking nonsense? I can see that I can’t eat, and I still have to itch in my heart, I’ll give him a stimulus, maybe they will be together tonight, hehe”

The obscenities became more and more unbearable, Cheng Xia just wanted to rush over and scare Yang Erlang into a limp for the rest of his life, this bear is full of bad water.

Yang Dalang watched Cheng Xia toss and turn to cover his ears with the quilt, coughed dryly twice, "Go to sleep."

sleep?Of course she wanted to sleep, but she had to be able to sleep when there was a fire next door.

Facts have proved that no matter what happens, Cheng Xia can still fall asleep.Before dawn on the second day, the sound of Yang Dalang getting up and opening the door sounded, Cheng Xia woke up again, closed his eyes to hear Yang Dalang close the door softly, jumped up quickly, and ran to the window to see nothing through the darkness In the dark night, Yang Dalang felt that Yang Dalang had left the yard, and immediately ran to the bed to open the cabinet at the foot of the bed, but Cheng Xia was dumbfounded when she opened it. Where is her backpack?Where's her black backpack?
She clearly remembered putting it in the closet at the back, but after searching through the only few clothes in the closet, she couldn't find them. Cheng Xiaji's brow was dripping with cold sweat, and she opened another closet unwillingly. Empty, turned the contents of the cabinet upside down, and finally dropped a bag from a long shirt.

Cheng Xia frantically picked it up and touched it. The room was too dark to see what it was, but it felt like her bag of chili seeds.

Cheng Xia hurriedly hid it in her arms, searched the two cabinets thoroughly again, there was nothing, and resolutely turned over the whole bed, still nothing.

Cheng Xia sat on the bed dejectedly, looking at the pitch black night where he couldn't distinguish east, west, north, south, suddenly panicked in his heart.

Her backpack is her sustenance to modern times, why suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

Cheng Xia held her mouth and suddenly wanted to cry. Except for this bag of chili seeds, her only backpack was gone.

The point is, who took her backpack?Is it her sickly husband-in-law?Or Yang Lihua who often wants to sneak into her house?Or Yang Erlang, who has an evil heart?

Who took it, and what's the use of taking it, and they don't know what the use of this thing is, who can just take the backpack and leave the pepper seeds for her.

Suddenly, a slight sound of opening the door next door awakened Cheng Xia in an instant. Cheng Xia collected all her thoughts and hurried to the door to have a look. It turned out to be Yang Erlang, who was walking towards the door unsteadily. Instantly disappeared.

Cheng Xia didn't dare to delay any longer, hugged the chili seeds tightly in her arms, and took advantage of the darkness to walk towards the south mountain in a hurry.

Carefully put the pepper bag in a dry place by the water source, carefully dug a hole to hide the bag inside, and then spread a thick layer of hay on it, and walked down the mountain after seeing that there were no flaws.

Although she knew that no one dared to enter this place, it was best to be cautious just in case.

The sun has revealed its faint light, shining into the mountain forest from among the lush branches, like a girl covered with a veil, softly swaying the golden light.

The glow of the sky enters the water, and the sky in the water is red for a while.After the third watch of Naosu Riguan, the Golden Crow is sent to the blue sky for the first time.

Cheng Xia liked Han Xie's poems in the Tang Dynasty very much.However, it is not as good as Zhang Jiuling's "Morning Out of the County Shelin" by Zhang Jiuling: "Morning enters the northern forest, Xiao San opens his coat; sees the forest on the moon again, Juanjuan is still not sinking; a piece of cloud comes from a lonely distance, clustered Xiao is also clear and deep; there is no reason why you are expensive, and you know what is outside the heart.

This morning in the forest of Qingxian Village is so beautiful that when Cheng Xia saw her husband-in-law at the foot of the mountain, she didn't know what kind of reaction to give, so she opened her mouth wide, "You, why are you here? You Didn’t you go to the next village to copy books?”

Yang Dalang looked back with a rare warm smile, his straight facial lines appeared more handsome in the soft light, Cheng Xia was a little stunned for a while but couldn't recover.

"I'm resting today. It's rare to have time to get up early and wait for the sunrise at the foot of the mountain." Yang Dalang explained lightly.

"Well, you've been here all this time?" Didn't you see her running up the hill in a hurry?Cheng Xia stared nervously at Yang Dalang's face, and swallowed with difficulty.

"Just arrived." With just two words, Cheng Xia felt that his heart that was about to stop beating was slightly returning to its original position.

"Go back." It was another cold and indifferent voice, and after speaking, he walked towards the Yang family.Cheng Xia didn't dare to be in a daze any longer, and hurriedly followed, only to hear Yang Dalang murmur two lines of poetry, "One round will go to the sky in an instant, chasing away the stars and the waning moon."

"What did you say?" Cheng Xia asked with some uncertainty.

"Nothing," Yang Dalang shook his head.

What a queer man!Cheng Xia was half a step behind Yang Dalang, staring at his thin back and frowning, she had just heard him recite a poem written by Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, this man seemed to be full of secrets, it was really strange.

After returning home for a simple lunch, Cheng Xia was about to go back to the house to change the water for the winter melon soaked in lime water, when he heard Xiaolong's childish voice, "Ma'am, someone is looking for you outside."
