Wang family small peasant girl

Chapter 1

"Sister-in-law Youqing, how is Yun'er? Is it better?" Outside Zhang's fenced yard, a woman in blue coarse clothes came and saw Mrs. Zhou feeding chickens in the yard, so she hurriedly called out .

Mrs. Zhou sprinkled a few handfuls of chicken feed mixed with rice bran and vegetable leaves. Seeing the six or seven chickens and two hens in the courtyard gathered around to peck at them, she put down the broken rough clay bowl in her hand, Wipe a few times on the apron, and greeted her with a smile, "Ms. Shuanzi is here, come in and sit down, please worry, Yun'er has been much better these days."

Shuan Ziniang walked into the fenced yard, handed over the bamboo basket in her hand, and said with a smile: "That's good, I don't have any good things at home, so I took a few eggs and some noodles I made myself. , sister-in-law, just give Yuner a bowl of egg noodles to eat, she has been ill for a while, so she needs to make up for it."

"Ms. Shuanzi, why are you still sending things? These days the village is busy breaking corn and planting wheat, and your family is also very busy. It would be good for us if you can come here. How can you collect more?" Your things, you can take these back and make them for Zhuzi and Shuanzi." Zhou quickly refused.

Shuan Ziniang was impatient, and she didn't care about Zhou's evasion, she just put the basket on the ground, turned her head and walked away, yelling as she walked: "Sister-in-law, don't push around, I won't take it when I bring it." I'm going to take it back, the house is really busy right now, so I won't stay any longer, let Yun'er take care of it, don't think about other things, I'll come and visit her when I have free time." The man quickly walked around the fenced yard and walked out , the sound gradually became farther away.

Mrs. Zhou could only pick up the bamboo basket on the ground, raised her throat and yelled: "Thank you, big sister." Hearing the vague reply from Mrs. Shuan who was walking away, Mrs. Zhou went into the kitchen with the bamboo basket , lifted the cover above, took out two eggs and a handful of noodles, and then hung the other things with a basket under the eaves.

Bending down, poking a few times in the stove door, took some thatch and lit it with flint. When the stove was burning, Mrs. Zhou cracked eggs and cooked egg noodles.

When the pot was cooked, Mrs. Zhou put the egg noodles into a thick porcelain bowl, rinsed the pot with water, and walked into the west room with the steaming noodles.

"Yun'er, Mrs. Shuan Zi came here just now, she brought some eggs and noodles, and said to cook egg noodles for you to nourish yourself, sit up and eat some." Mrs. Zhou put the bowl on the table, sat on the edge of the kang and called softly. Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun woke up in a daze, opened his eyes and stared blankly at Mrs. Zhou, he was confused for a moment, then slowly came to his senses, sat up with his hands propped up, and called softly: "Mother."

This call was very soft. She had been here for three days, and she was still a little uncomfortable. After all, she had never seen anyone in the Zhang family three days ago, and they were very unfamiliar.

Zhou only thought that her daughter had a high fever, and that she was still weak and had no strength at all.He walked over to take the bowl and chopsticks, picked up the noodles and cooled them, and stretched them out to his mouth to feed her.

"Mother, I'll do it myself." Zhang Yun raised his hand to take the bowl and chopsticks as he said, and began to eat bit by bit.

"Be careful it's hot." Zhou reminded, reaching out and touching Zhang Yun's forehead and the back of his neck. He felt that the heat was normal, and it seemed that he would not get burned again.

"Your body is not hot anymore. The fever should be gone. Yun'er, eat more and your body will have strength. After a day or two, you will be completely cured." Zhou told Zhang Yun softly.

Zhang Yun didn't answer, just nodded his head. After three days of burning, he really didn't feel so hot today, and his body felt a lot lighter. After smelling the fragrance of noodles, he was really hungry. After eating all the eggs and drinking a lot of soup, I felt my stomach was full.

"The appetite is much better today. If you like it, there is still some left over from what Mrs. Shuanzi brought. I will cook another bowl for you for dinner." Mrs. Zhou saw that her daughter had finished eating the noodles, not to mention how happy she was, her appetite was good. He took the bowls and chopsticks with a smile, wiped Zhang Yun's mouth with his apron, and then ordered: "Sit on the kang for a while when you are full, and lie down later. Otherwise, it will be uncomfortable to accumulate food."

Zhang Yun felt that his body was not as limp as the previous two days, and it was not good to lie on the bed all the time. After thinking about it, he simply said, "Mother, I don't want to lie down all the time. I want to sit in the yard and take a breath."

"Your body is still weak, I'm afraid it won't be good if you go to the yard to catch the wind." Zhou was not very relieved, Zhang Yun smiled and said, "It's okay, I can find a place to sit out of the wind."

Mrs. Zhou couldn't hold her back, thinking that the weather was still sunny today, she nodded her head, helped her off the kang, brought her a small bench, and asked her to sit outside under the eaves.

"Mom, you still have a lot of work to do, so you don't have to stay with me. Grandpa, dad, brother and Xingzi should go home later." Zhang Yun has the memory of this body, and knows that Zhou will follow him on weekdays. Go to the field, and now she is sick at home to take care of her. Even so, there is still a lot of work to do, and there is no time at all.

"Hey, then watch it yourself. If you feel that the wind is strong, go back to the house." After Zhou's instructions, she went to other tasks.

Zhang Yun sat on the small bench and looked around carefully. She had been lying in the house for three days after wearing it, but based on her food, clothing, and words, she roughly guessed what it was like outside when she was wearing it in an ancient village. She hasn't seen it yet.

Looking around, I saw that the house has three rooms, a main room, and a kitchen, all of which are yellow mud walls and thatched roofs, surrounded by fences made of branches and vines, which are placed outside the house, forming a small space. In the yard, big chickens and little chickens are running and jumping, bamboo coops are placed against the wall, stacks of firewood branches are leaning against the corner, a few bunches of corn are hung on the eaves, and there are two shelves in the yard. A large sieve is placed all over it, and dried vegetables are spread on the sieve.

Zhang Yun took a rough look and got some ideas in his mind. It seemed that she had indeed been dressed in the countryside, and looking at the environment, plus the food these days, and the patched underwear, it could be seen that the family should be pretty. poor.

"Yun'er, is it cold? Do you want to add another unlined coat?" Zhang Yun was thinking with his head down, when Mrs. Zhou dragged a bamboo basket and sat next to Zhang Yun with a small bench.

It's just the beginning of October, and the weather is actually neither too cold nor too hot. Although Zhang Yun hasn't recovered from his illness, he doesn't feel cold at all. "Mother, it's not cold. The sun is quite warm today."

"God is going to help, the weather has been fine these few days, so we can work faster in the fields, and after breaking the corn, we have to rush to sow the wheat seeds. I hope this day will be sunny for a longer time, so that we The seeds were successfully sown." Zhou took out handfuls of corn from the bamboo basket, tore off the silk and the corn coat, and then threw the corn back into the bamboo basket, and looked up at the cloudless sky as he spoke. , with a smile on his face.

Zhang Yun looked into the bamboo basket, and there was only half a basket of corn cobs piled up, "Mother, did our family only break these bracts?"

She was also born in the countryside. It was not until she was in primary school that the factory where her father worked gave him a room, so she brought her household registration to the city. At that time, she left the countryside. According to her childhood memories, the corn in the countryside It can be regarded as food, especially in ancient times, I am afraid it can be regarded as a staple food even more. Looking at such a small amount of corn, I am afraid it is not enough for the family to eat.

"The buds in the field haven't been finished yet, and it will take another two or three days." Zhou turned her head and said with a smile.Zhang Yun was a little relieved. It seemed that he would not be hungry in the short term. After he was relieved, he reached into the bamboo basket to help Zhou clean up the corn.

"You're not well yet, don't be too busy working, wait until you're well." Seeing that she wanted to help, Mrs. Zhou hurriedly stopped her. She still felt sorry for her daughter.

Just as Zhang Yun was about to say that he was fine, and that he was not that fragile, there was a scolding voice from outside the courtyard: "You bastard, you dare to come to our courtyard, get out of here."

With the sound of scolding, Zhou stood up hurriedly and rushed out of the courtyard. Zhang Yun was naturally not allowed to go out, so he could only listen to the movement with his ears up.

"Father, don't hurt yourself. Chang Man, why are you here? You think the words in the village are not good enough, and you still don't tease Yun'er enough. If you want to be sensible, you should leave quickly." Lian Gen picked up a hoe and was about to hit someone, so he hurried up to stop him in fright, and raised his voice to bang people.

Zhang Youqing, who came back with him, also lost his face, while his son Zhang Cheng shook the basket on his shoulders, went up and grabbed Chang Man's skirt, and then pushed him outside, shouting: "Thanks to us growing up together, you Actually teasing my sister like this, I won’t hit you today, I’m not Zhang.” He punched him with his fist when he shouted, Chang Man was beaten back, and the corner of his mouth was red and swollen, skin oozing. Strands of blood come.

"Cheng Zi, I... I really didn't do it on purpose. You also said that we played together till the end, but you said I was like that." Chang Man wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and explained anxiously.

"Get out, get out, get out, don't get out, and see if I don't cripple your legs." Zhang Liangen was already so angry that he blew his beard and stared, seeing that Chang Man still didn't leave, he wanted to pick up a hoe again.

The Zhou family naturally couldn't let his father-in-law do this, and their family couldn't afford to beat him up, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab Zhang Liangen, and kept shouting: "You are a fool, how dare you stay here?" If you don’t go, it’s possible that you really want to be crippled.”

The Zhou family was in a hurry, and the youngest son Zhang Xing didn't have time to spare. He rushed up, kicked Chang Manlian a few times, picked up small stones on the ground, and threw them hard at him.

Chang Man saw that their family was furious, and knew that they couldn't get anything done today, so he could only run away while turning his head and jumping towards the courtyard. It was quite embarrassing.

When Zhang Xing got tired of chasing after him, he happily turned back and ran home, rushed all the way into the courtyard gate, and shouted: "Sister, I smashed many stones in Changman, and now I vent my anger for you." He ran to Zhang Yun.

Zhang Zhang picked up two baskets of corn and put them down in front of the main room, put away the poles, and put the baskets against the wall, then ran to Zhang Yun, touched Zhang Xing's head, and praised, "Well done, you Remember, no one wants to bully our Yun'er."
