Wang family small peasant girl

Chapter 118

The whole family of the Zhang family, including Chang Man, Chang Tiemu, and Chang Ming, Chang Liang, and Chang Zhu who often came to help, all of them worked together for more than ten days, and finally took the three Acres of paddy fields were reclaimed.

After the paddy fields have been reclaimed, they have to continue to prepare and fertilize the land. The newly opened fields have to be fertilized for a period of time before crops can be planted. In order to ensure that the rice seedlings can be planted in April, everyone worked together. It took five or six days to rest.

The harvest of the newly opened field is definitely not satisfactory. Zhang’s family is well prepared for this. As long as there is no crop failure, the main thing is to rely on the fish and shrimp raised in the three-acre field. These alone can earn seven or eight taels Silver, so satisfied.

By the time the paddy field was completed, it had already entered March, and the Zhang family's field had also entered the busy spring. The men and women in the family were busy from morning to night, rushing to catch up the work of topdressing, weeding, and moisture conservation that had fallen in the previous days. superior.

In March, when the spring is warm and the earth is warm, not only Zhang's family is busy, but all the villagers in Tuntian Village are working hard to plant seeds for the one-year spring sowing. In the evening after work, everyone carried tools to dig the mud pond together.

Lizheng announced his plan during the New Year sacrifice. There are two major events in the whole village that require the joint efforts of the whole village. One is to ensure the normal growth and fruiting of tea oil trees, and the other is to dig new mud ponds and plant more Water candles.

For these two points, all the villagers in Tuntian Village are very supportive, so when it is time to plant water candles, all the villagers work together to help the village dig mud ponds.

Lizheng did not happen overnight, and started step by step. This year, let everyone dig out two mud ponds and plant water candles, lotus root and lotus. The original mud ponds do not need to be planted separately. will decay.

After this busy period, the days came to the end of March, and Zhang's family had to start raising seedlings without taking a breather. The rice seedlings had to be cultivated for more than a month before they could be inserted into the field.

The life of the farm is always busy and tight. In a blink of an eye, the seedlings are uprooted and it is time to insert them into the field. Zhang Yun is busy fishing for fish and shrimp.

With the experience of the previous year, plus Chang Man would come to help every night, Shaw also helped to weave a lot of shrimp cages, the two of them worked together, and they could catch a lot of fish and shrimp every day.

As the so-called men and women match, work is not tiring, although Chang Man is very tired every day, but this time of night fishing, he does not feel exhausted at all, accompanied by his future little wife, in the night When hanging down, no matter whether the two of them are cuddling and talking, or burying their heads in their work, they feel it is a kind of enjoyment. When they rest their hands, they feel an indescribable loss in their hearts.

When all the fish and shrimps were caught, it was time to plant rice seedlings in the paddy fields. Zhang’s family, young and old, took off their straw sandals, rolled up their trousers, and went into the paddy fields, throwing and transplanting rice seedlings, and Changman was busy every day. After the work in their own fields, they will also rush over to help transplant rice seedlings together.

After the addition of three acres of paddy fields to the family, the whole family has no free time. The paddy fields have just been planted, and the wheat in the fields is harvesting again. , Wheat threshing is also rushed all the way to finish.

When the wheat is harvested, the corn must be planted. This is the case every year, and this year is no exception. Before the corn is ready to be planted, the government came to collect the grain tax for the first half of the year, and the cartloads of wheat noodles were transported away by the government officials. the county seat.

In this way, even if Tuntian Village has completed the grain taxation in the first half of the year, the folks in the village have not had time to catch their breath, and the cattail grass in the pond has grown up, and it is time to harvest.

When the folks went down to the pond to harvest cattail grass, it was already June and the weather was getting hotter. In this early summer season, the Zhang family not only had to be busy cutting and weaving cattail cattail grass, but also had to start preparing the charter and Zhang Yun’s marriage. .

After cutting the cattail grass, Zhang's family, Li's family, and Chang's family were all freed up to get busy with their children's marriage.

Although the two brothers and sisters got married on the same day, Zhang Zhang is the elder brother after all, so he had to go through a series of three-book and six-ceremony ceremonies with the Li family first, such as Na Cai, Wen Ming, Na Ji, Na Zheng, and asking for a date, and then it was his turn. Chang family.

By the end of June, Zhang and Li's family had settled all the etiquette, and they only waited for the bride to be greeted in person on July [-]th, and they were married.

The Zhang family earned a lot of money in the past year, so they naturally had to do a good job in getting married. Therefore, the betrothal money alone cost eight taels of silver, not counting the jewelry, clothes and food sent over. Buying household items in a new house with a small amount of money can be regarded as a sight in the countryside.

Who would have known that when it was the Chang family's turn to give the dowry gift, it was even richer than the Zhang family's. They truly fulfilled Chang Man's promise and married her. Seeing that the Chang family was so caring, the Zhang family was naturally very pleased, but the Zhang family also They didn't covet the dowry money, and most of them went back to dowry.

Although Zhang Yun herself was busy with getting married, she also contributed a lot to the elder brother's marriage. She followed Mrs. Zhou to tidy up the new tile-roofed house and helped arrange everything in the house. Zhang's family members were all overjoyed, and Zhang Yun was also sincerely happy for his elder brother.

The Zhang family's new house was decorated in a random manner, and the days have quietly entered July. At this time, all the families in the village have already woven the cattail utensils, and under Chang Man's guidance, everyone has dyed the cattail.

Although it was July and the wedding day was very close, Chang Man had no choice but to take the boys in the village, pick up dyed rush utensils, and set foot on the road to Changzhou again.

Seeing that he will soon be able to marry back his sweetheart, Chang Man is full of reluctance to part at this time. On the day before heading to Changzhou, he dragged Zhang Yun to the thatched hut, and the two talked sweetly and sweetly , but no matter how attached he was, Chang Man still set off with everyone for the sake of his future life.

When Chang Man left, Qian Ding Wan Wan asked Zhang Yun to wait for him with peace of mind, and he would come back soon. She agreed one by one, but she really didn't have time to think about it. Neither should be idle.

For Zhang Yun, there is nothing else to say, except that she really can't get on the stage when it comes to being a female celebrity. Before other girls get married, they have to sew wedding dresses by themselves, and she also tried her best to learn from Zhou, but the results were not good. Jia, it seems that making clothes, embroidering skirts, and sewing quilts is not suitable for her. She has no choice but to let her mother help, and she does a few things by herself, especially for Chang Man. The new shoes were all hand-made by her stitch by stitch, and it took a lot of effort.

The days were spent busy preparing for marriage, and when Chang Man came back, it was already the twelfth of July, and the day of getting married was imminent, and he had no free time, but came to report his safety on the day he came back, and told Zhang Yun about his parting thoughts. , I went back to get busy with getting married.

The busy days passed quickly, and it was July [-]th in a blink of an eye, and tomorrow was the big day for Zhang's family to marry a daughter-in-law.

In these days, congratulatory people came in an endless stream, and many people came to help. That night, the outside work was handed over to the helpers, and Mrs. Zhou entered Zhang Yun's room early.

"One comb for husband and wife, two combs for white hair and eyebrows, and three combs for children and grandchildren." Zhang Yun sat at the table with loose black hair. According to the custom, Mrs. Zhou combed her hair with a wooden comb, saying auspicious words , full of blessings to my daughter.

The doors and windows of the house were filled with red double happiness stickers, illuminated by the bright oil lamp on the table, they looked even more beaming, Mrs. Zhou muttered something, and when she stopped talking, a feeling of emptiness hit her heart, My heart suddenly became sour, and tears flickered from the corners of my eyes.

Zhang Yun felt that there was no movement behind him, turned his head and looked up, and saw Zhou's red eyes, stood up quickly, put his arms around her waist, leaned his face softly, and murmured: " Mother, I know you are reluctant, but please rest assured, I will live a happy life." After saying these words, Zhang Yun also had thoughts of reluctance in his heart, and he couldn't help but want to cry.

"Well, mother is very relieved. Manzi treats you well, we all notice it, and Tiemu and his wife also like you very much. After getting married, life will be good." Zhou stroked her tenderly. With black hair, I still feel relieved in my heart.

The mother and daughter cuddled up and had a conversation, before Mrs. Zhou let her sit down again, and gave her the upper hand according to the ceremony.After all the ceremonies were completed, Zhang Zhang dared to come in. The brother and sister congratulated each other, and talked for a long time reluctantly, and did not rest until late at night.

The next day, the whole family of Zhang's family got out of bed before dawn, busy with the day's happy event.Zhang Yun, the bride-to-be, couldn't help her, so she could only sit obediently and let Mrs. Zhou and the daughters-in-law who came to help her dress her up.

Chang Man didn't keep her waiting long, and came early in an ox cart covered with red silk. The daughters-in-law in the house hurriedly covered her with red hijabs, and helped her step by step out of the yard and onto the ox cart.

Zhang Yun was wearing a red hijab. Although he couldn't see anything, he could clearly feel Chang Man's presence. His breath was always lingering around him, and he accompanied her all the way into the gate of Chang's courtyard.

Chang's family did not build a new house for them to marry like Zhang's, but they also specially renovated the old house. Zhang Yun was helped into the new house, and when he sat on the kang, he could smell the smell of the new house.

Zhang Yun sat in the new room for several hours, and his whole body became stiff. Fortunately, Chang Man sent Chang Juan in during the period, and secretly stuffed her with a lot of food, otherwise she would have been tired, but in such a hot season In the middle of the day, the red hijab still made her dizzy from the heat, and she finished the worship in this dizziness.

After worshiping, Zhang Yun came back to sit by the kang again, waiting for the wedding banquet to end. Wedding banquets are always lengthy, and the noise of laughter and congratulations and persuasion in the yard kept coming, which made her somewhat feel the joy.

Compared with the hustle and bustle outside, the room seemed much quieter. Except for the square inch under the hijab, Zhang Yun couldn't see the outside, but he could feel the light of the burning red candle. I was quite nervous, but after waiting for too long, I gradually relaxed.

However, the relaxed mood could not last long. As the sound in the yard outside became quieter, she became nervous again.

Sure enough, after a while, the sound of the door closing came from her ears, and her two hands were immediately twisted together, and her breathing became a little uneven.

The hijab was quickly lifted off, Zhang Yun's eyes lit up, fresh air rushed in, and the sweltering heat dissipated immediately.

In this way, the person felt a lot more comfortable, but the nervousness was even worse, his heart was beating extremely fast, and when he looked up, he saw Chang Man, whose face was flushed and slightly drunk.

Chang Man stared straight at her, the drunkenness in his eyes suddenly became a little stronger, he felt hot all over his body, and his whole heart seemed to be jumping out of his chest, he finally resisted the impulse, took the wine on the table, and had a drink with her. Let's drink together.

I don't know if it's because of the enthusiasm, or because of the wine, Zhang Yun's face suddenly turned red. Chang Man looked at her so delicate, how could he restrain himself, and as soon as the cup was put down, he opened his hands, He embraced her whole body in his arms.

"Yun'er, I finally married you, I finally married you, you are my wife..." Chang Man rubbed his cheek against her ear, muttering non-stop, the excitement in his heart was beyond words.

It's not the first time to be hugged by Chang Man, but today's feeling is especially different. Zhang Yun only feels his whole body go limp. The only thing he can feel is his fiery body temperature and full of affection.
