peasant young lady

Chapter 40 How to sleep is a problem

Looking at Yang Lihua who was trying her best to get closer to her, Cheng Xia smiled meaningfully, "I want me to teach you, okay, let's light the fire first."

Yang Lihua's face suddenly became embarrassed, "Sister-in-law, I want to learn how to make this, just light the fire and let the second sister-in-law come. Is it the second sister-in-law?"

Lin Xiu nodded nervously, "Yes, yes, I'll do it, sister-in-law rest."

Cheng Xia looked at Lin Xiu with hatred, really, she just rushed to work like this, and she didn't dare to ask her to take a break.

"If you don't make a fire, then I won't teach you." Cheng Xia said flatly.

Yang Lihua struggled for a moment before giving in, pushing Lin Xiu aside, leaning under the stove and starting to add firewood, but Lin Xiu was in a hurry, "I'll do it, sister-in-law, just rest."

Seeing Lin Xiu being so dishonest, Yang Lihua glared at her bitterly, "Xiaolong just woke up and hasn't eaten yet. There is freshly warmed food in the room, go and feed him."

Cheng Xia smiled, this is to drive Lin Xiu away.

Seeing Lin Xiu left, Yang Lihua leaned over the stove to watch Cheng Xia's actions while adding firewood, "Sister-in-law, you still understand this, it's amazing, are you going to sell this to make money? I've never eaten this before." The food is really delicious, and if you sell it, you will definitely make a lot of money."

Cheng Xia hummed and stopped talking.

"Sister-in-law, you can teach me, so it will be faster if someone helps you, then you can pay off the money earlier."

Seeing Cheng Xia looking at her, Yang Lihua quickly raised her hands, "Sister-in-law, I promise, I'm just helping out, and you'll get the money if you make it. If you want to buy me some jewelry, just give it to me. If you don't give it to me, you don't have any complaints. I just watch it." Sister-in-law is working too hard, so I just want to help."

"Oh," Cheng Xia replied, "The making of this thing is very simple. Did you not pay attention when I made it a few days ago?"

Yang Lihua shook her head, and Cheng Xia continued, "I'm going to do it now, so how about it, I'll teach you when I go to the market to see if I can sell it and make money, and when I go back and buy sugar and continue making it. "

Yang Lihua anxiously wanted to learn now, but seeing Cheng Xia's attitude, she didn't dare to rush too much, so she nodded reluctantly and continued to light the fire.

The candied amber is also out of the oven, the color is much better than the candied crystal, the ruddy and transparent amber color, just looking at it will give you an appetite.

"Sister-in-law, did you make this with brown sugar? The color is really beautiful." Yang Lihua said in surprise, this thing is so fresh, no one has ever seen it made before, and the color is good-looking and the taste is even better. How can you not make money.

It seems that what he said is right, following the sister-in-law can really get good news.

"Sister-in-law, how do you know that wax gourd can do this?" Yang Lihua asked excitedly, she could already see the white money going into her pocket.

Cheng Xia was busy spreading out the candied fruit from the lake, and said absently, "I wanted to try it at my mother's house before, but my mother refused to let me, because I thought I wasted winter melon."

"Oh," Yang Lihua said while eating anxiously, "It's okay, we have a lot of winter melons, so my sister-in-law can order them casually."

The light rain was still pattering, Cheng Xia moved the double-curtained candied winter melons to her room to dry, and slept for a while after lunch, when she woke up, it was a bit dark, Yang Dalang hadn't come back yet, but Yang Erlang, who hadn't seen him for two days, was doing nothing. As soon as he entered the house, he started to yell, "Sister-in-law, your second aunt's house was beaten badly. I heard that your second aunt's brain is broken, and Cheng Qiu's face is also broken. The two families are in a mess. After a day of quarreling, I passed by when I just came back, and the show just ended, tsk tsk, I don’t think the punks are fighting so vigorously.”

Seeing that Cheng Xia's expression was not good, Lin Xiu carefully tugged on Yang Erlang's sleeve, "Stop talking."

"Why can't you say it? I heard from people in the village that the Cheng family insisted on asking the Qian family to bring Qian Pan and the child home. Qian Pan's father wanted to take her home, but the brothers of the Qian family disagreed, so it was noisy. It was a mess, and in the end, I started directly. Cheng Guang, a coward, was a coward, and when he saw that there were so many Qian family members, he was so scared that he froze and hid, and let two women and a few men fight against each other. It's really useless." Yang Erlang said with a chuckle, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, after you have a baby with your elder brother, our family is designated not like your second aunt's."

give birth to your sister!Cheng Xia stared at him speechlessly and walked away.

Yang Dalang came back from the neighboring village when it was completely dark. During dinner, Cheng Xia brought over half a bowl of candied winter melon. The white and amber ones looked so beautiful. Yang Erlang grabbed them and ate them.

Seeing Headhunter Yang's curious eyes, Cheng Xia explained lightly, "It's made with white sugar, brown sugar and winter melon sticks. I tried it at home before but failed, but I made it here today. My little girl and mother think it's good. You should try it too." Try it."

"Not bad, not bad," Yang Erlang clicked his tongue, and quickly grabbed a few more pieces and put them in front of him, fearing that the snacks would be gone if it was too late.

Cheng Xia shyly handed a piece to Yang Dalang, "Try it too, but you can't eat too much." Cheng Xia felt a little uncomfortable thinking about what happened last night.

On the contrary, Yang Dalang was very frank. Without asking why, he nodded and took a bite, smiling with the corners of his mouth, "It's the first time I ate it, it's delicious."

The simple evaluation made Cheng Xia very happy, until he entered his room after eating, the smile on the corner of his mouth still couldn't stop.

Yang Dalang looked at the two curtains of candied fruit spread out to dry in the room, and looked away after only one glance, without any curiosity or doubt, and Cheng Xia would not be so stupid as to explain something by himself, but the two of them were in the same space , I still feel a lot more awkward than before.

"you."

"you."

The two spoke at the same time again, Cheng Xia smiled, "You speak first."

"Actually, it's nothing." Yang Dalang seemed not used to speaking like this, rather embarrassed, "I just want to ask if you are in good health?"

Cheng Xia's face turned red immediately, and she nodded her head, "If you sweat, you'll be fine."

"That's good," Yang Dalang didn't say any more, put the things on his table aside, then moved to the center of the room, and skillfully spread the bedding on the table like every time before, but this time he ignored Cheng Xia's advice Objecting to herself lying on the table, the narrow table made him taller, and the space seemed particularly cramped, Cheng Xia couldn't help but sigh when she saw Yang Dalang's stubborn behavior, she knew that Yang Dalang was afraid of her poor health, So this is how to put her to bed.

"Your kang is almost ready for sleeping, I'll sleep there." Cheng Xia went over and touched the new kang, it was still a bit damp and not suitable for sleeping, but she couldn't really let Yang Dalang sleep on the table. .

Hearing Cheng Xia's words, Yang Dalang sat up suddenly, "That's not enough, it will take two days, and it will be even more difficult for the body to sleep now."

Cheng Xia followed his words, "Then you sleep on the kang, the table is too small, you can't sleep at all."

"It's okay," Yang Dalang waved his hands, and said indifferently, "It's fine once you get used to it."

"It's up to you." Seeing that he insisted, Cheng Xia stopped talking, took off his shoes and fell asleep on the bed, turned over and covered himself with a quilt, and turned his back to Yang Dalang, with such a stubborn temper, if you like to sleep on such a small table, you can sleep, and beg him to sleep How is the bed dripping, stubborn.

In fact, Yang Dalang's kang is not too small, not to mention two people, three people are enough, and the kangs of the farm are very big, but it always feels a little inappropriate for her to accept to sleep on the same kang with Yang Dalang.

She didn't want to develop a relationship in the Ming Dynasty, she just wanted to witness history honestly, and didn't want to provoke anyone.

However, Cheng Xia turned around quietly, but bumped into Yang Dalang who was staring at her firmly.

Yang Dalang looked as usual, he was not embarrassed to be found peeping, instead he smiled at the uncomfortable Cheng Xia, "You had a little fever yesterday, sleeping on the table is not good for your health, honestly sleep on the kang."

Cheng Xia nuzzled, "You are so big, this table can't fit you."

Yang Dalang smiled, "It's okay, the newly installed kang will be ready to use in two days, and it will only take two or three days."

"Who cares about you?" Cheng Xia snorted and turned away from her, but she could clearly hear the hidden smile in Yang Dalang's cough. The feeling of pampering is really hell, Cheng Xia thought about rubbing his arms carefully, goosebumps all over his body.

"I saw Lihua." Just as Cheng Xia was about to fall asleep, Yang Dalang's voice suddenly came from behind, and Cheng Xia suddenly woke up, "Where did you see her?"

"When I went to the next village in the morning, I saw her coming out. She thought I didn't see her, but I saw her hiding." Yang Dalang said coldly.

"Where is the next door village and what is its name?" Cheng Xia asked anxiously.

"Huangdun Village is just to the east of our village."

This makes it clear that Yang Lihua is really lying.She came out of Huangdun Village and happened to pass by Cheng's house at the east end of the village on the way home, so she could see the scene of the quarrel at the second aunt's house.She said that she was in the dilapidated house next to her, maybe she was trying to cover up people's eyes and ears to deal with Mrs. Chen's questioning.

What did Yang Lihua do in Huangdun Village?Whose house could she stay for one night, and her clothes became smoother, and there was a smile on the corners of her eyes and brows?Who can make her attitude change suddenly and become more polite to herself?
In a daze, Cheng Xia fell asleep thinking about these problems, and woke up at dawn the next day, and Yang Dalang left again.

The table has been placed in the corner, and the quilt has been folded up. He is really a neat person.

The three men of the Yang family were not at home every day, and Headhunter Yang went hunting in the mountains every day, but he hardly saw any wild game brought back by him, and he didn't know whether he was not skilled enough or why he went there.

After breakfast, Cheng Xia saw that the sun was fine, so he took out the two candied winter melon preserves to dry. In fact, it doesn't matter whether it is dried or not, but it always seems to be a little psychological comfort.

At the same time, I saw an unknown man calling Lin Xiu at the gate of the fenced yard. Lin Xiu and Mrs. Chen went to the door together, turned back and said that it was his father who had asked someone to bring the letter, and that he missed her and Xiaolong. They go home and have a look.

Mrs. Chen brought Lin Xiu two pieces of bacon that Headhunter Yang got back from somewhere, told Lin Xiu and Xiaolong to be careful, and let them go.

As soon as Lin Xiu left, Cheng Xia suddenly remembered that while Lin Xiu was not around, she happened to go to the rose bushes on the mountain to plant pepper seeds by herself.

Without further ado, Cheng Xia took the hoe and basket beside him, handed the candied winter melon to Mrs. Chen to watch, and said that she was going to go to the mountain to gather medicinal materials before leaving.
