Wang family small peasant girl

Chapter 86

Why would mother ask such a question?Did you see something?After listening to Mrs. Zhou's question, Zhang Yun's heart skipped a beat. He quickly calmed down and said calmly, "Mother, that's not the case. I just want to stay for two more years and help the family for a while."

When Mrs. Zhou saw what her daughter said, she stopped being suspicious, nodded and said: "Mother understands." Then she turned around and opened the door to go out.

Seeing Mrs. Zhou close the door, Zhang Yun breathed a sigh of relief, sitting on the edge of the kang, thinking about what his mother asked suddenly just now, and Chang Man's excited expression, his heart was in a mess, and she couldn't explain it clearly. What the hell is going on with him.

After thinking about it for a long time, I felt flustered and stuffy in my heart, so I simply put away my thoughts, got up and went to the kitchen to help Mrs. Zhou with the housework.

Zhang Yun thought wholeheartedly not to affect his elder brother's marriage for his own sake, but in the end it did. When Zhang Zhang came back the next night, Mrs. Zhou went to him again, told him what Zhang Yun meant, and asked him What is he thinking about this marriage.

Zhang Zhang thought for a while, his sister rejected such a marriage, and it would be too embarrassing for him to marry someone else's daughter, so he finally refused.

The son and daughter were asked about their thoughts. Although Zhou felt sorry for them, she followed their wishes. After discussing with Zhang Youqing, she went to Li's house in person the next day and rejected the marriage.

The marriage was postponed, and the two families had some grievances, especially Fengzi, since the last time he helped dig a hole, raised a ridge, and picked fish together to Baitang Village, he began to think about Zhang Yun in his heart, and it was hard. He mustered up the courage to speak to his mother and asked her to come to propose marriage, but he didn't expect to be rejected. His heart fell into a hole in the ice, and he was discouraged. For a long time, he never appeared in the Zhang family's brothers and sisters again. in front of it.

This situation is unavoidably embarrassing. Fortunately, not many people know about it, and it has not spread. In addition, in a few days, people in the village will start to get busy. The cattail grass in the mud pond has matured. It is time to harvest. No more leisure to care about other things.

When it was time to harvest, Lizheng gathered the strong laborers of the village, and divided them up like when planting, so that all the ponds would be manned.

It was almost July, and the fields were relatively free, so every family had a lot of labor to spare. For a while, a group of men of all sizes gathered by the mud pond, climbing down the pond with their trousers rolled up. Forget joking, the little ones also gathered around the pond to play, so it was extraordinarily lively.

The Zhang family smoked Zhang Youqing and Zhang Zhang, and Zhang Liangen took care of the field alone.Early this morning, Zhang Youqing and Zhang Zhang went out with sickles.Zhang Yun helped Mrs. Zhou cook breakfast, and when he finished his breakfast, he volunteered to take it to the mud pond.

After searching in several mud ponds, I finally found Zhang Youqing and Zhang Zhang by the pond in the west of the village. There were already several people sitting and having breakfast by the pond, so she hurried up and shouted, "Dad, brother, It's breakfast."

The father and son, who were buried in the muddy pond cutting cattail grass, straightened up and looked over when they heard the call. Seeing Zhang Yun carrying the bamboo basket, they each washed their hands in the pond and waded towards the edge of the pond.

After reaching the edge of the pond, Zhang Yun put the bamboo basket aside, took out the clay pot inside, took a bowl and poured out the corn porridge, handed them to father and elder brother respectively, and took out a few steamed buns wrapped in cloth, Give them porridge.

The father and son sat down cross-legged, took the bowl and steamed buns, and began to eat. Zhang Yun put the jar back into the basket with a smile, and turned to look at the mud pond.

It will be considered midsummer, and the lotus leaves in the pond have already grown out of the water, spreading out and covering almost half of the pond, except for the lush growth of water candles, which have not been covered by lotus leaves.

There are layers of green lotus leaves, dotted with delicate pink lotus flowers in the middle, with half-stretched petals, showing a kind of beauty that is about to bloom. When the breeze blows, the lotus leaves and lotus flowers are swaying, and the scenery in front of you, It makes people feel relaxed and comfortable, just feel beautiful.

Zhang Yun squinted her eyes slightly, looking at the green pond comfortably. After watching for a while, she turned her gaze a little, and saw villagers in twos and threes standing in the mud pond, bending over to cut cattail grass.

After only a few glances, Zhang Yun felt that something was wrong. She remembered seeing the picture of harvesting on TV, and there was also an explanation that when harvesting, it should be harvested along the flat side of the cattail grass, so as not to pick the grass. When harvesting, trample the grass buds underneath.

Looking around just now, people in the pond are standing randomly, not following the flat side at all, I am afraid that the grass buds have been trampled a lot, and this will affect the growth of the next batch of cattail grass.

Thinking about it, Zhang Yun frowned slightly, leaned closer to Zhang Zhang, and whispered in his ear: "Brother, when mowing cattail grass, be careful of the grass buds underneath. If you step on them all, there will be no new ones in autumn." The cattail grass can be cut."

When Zhang Zhang heard that there was still something to pay attention to, the chopsticks in his hand stopped, looked sideways at Zhang Yun, and said, "But the grass sprouts are growing at the bottom, and you can't see them, how should you be careful?"

"Look carefully, one side of cattail grass is flatter. If you stand in this direction, you won't be able to step on grass buds." Zhang Yun told Zhang Zhang in a soft voice.

The charter said: "Since you know, just tell them."

"Brother, go ahead and talk about it." Zhang Yun said softly again, she doesn't want to be too public, it's best to let the elder brother come forward for everything, and give him all the credit, so that she can hide behind her back.

Zhang Zhang didn't think much about it, and then nodded, quickly ate the polenta and steamed buns, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and stood up to go to the pond.

When he walked to the villagers working in the pond, Zhang Zhang told them one by one about the matter. They cooperated very well, and they all stood in the flat direction as he said. , and the other people who went down to the pond after breakfast, passed it on to me and passed it on to you. They all knew about this, and they all cut in this way.

Zhang Youqing had finished his breakfast and was about to go down to the pond. Zhang Yun hurriedly grabbed him and told him about it, "Father, I'm afraid that the villagers in other ponds are all standing around in disorder, why don't you take a trip?" , tell them this, lest the cattail grass in other ponds will not grow."

"That's fine, I'll go right away." Seeing that everyone in the pond had changed positions, Zhang Youqing agreed immediately, and turned to go to other ponds.

Zhang Yun put away the bowls and chopsticks, picked up the bamboo basket and walked back. Just a few steps away, a voice called from behind: "Yun'er."

Zhang Yun stopped in his tracks, turned his head slowly, and saw Chang Man.At this time, there were many people working in the mud pond, and Chang Man didn't dare to go too far, so he kept a distance away and didn't hesitate too much. Seeing her turn around, he said, "Yun'er, Fengzi's matter, Did you push it off?"

Chang Man didn't dare to raise her voice, so her voice was a little low, but Zhang Yun still heard it clearly, and looked around quickly, seeing that no one was paying attention here, so she felt relieved. She didn't dare to linger for too long, so she directly He replied: "My mother has already pushed it away, you...don't worry any more." After finishing speaking, Zhang Yun turned his head and left.

These words made Chang Man's heart drop. Seeing Zhang Yun leaving quickly, he really wanted to ask a few more questions and talk to her, but there would be a lot of folks here, so he couldn't do this, lest another child would be born. What bad gossip, can only watch her go.

After watching her leaving back for a while, Chang Man reluctantly turned around, ready to go down to the pond to cut cattail grass, when a voice came from behind: "Manzi, it's time for breakfast."

Chang Manzhong turned his head to look again, and saw Shao Shi walking over with a bamboo basket. To his surprise, Yu Ling also came with Shao Shi.

Yu Ling was a little stunned at this time, she stopped, and looked at the direction Zhang Yun was walking with her eyes. Shao took a few steps forward, only to realize that she hadn't followed, so she turned her head and said, "Lingzi, why don't you accompany me?" Auntie has walked such a distance, and I will be here now, if you have something to do, you don't need to accompany her."

Only then did Yu Ling come to her senses, walked up to Shao's side, and said, "Auntie, it's okay, I just came to see the excitement in the pond, and I'll go back with you later." Shao nodded with a smile, and said As usual, Yu Ling walked over, and Yu Ling followed.

Chang Man greeted him hurriedly, took the bamboo basket in Shao's hand, put the basket down, sat down cross-legged, took out the jars from the basket, and said casually: "Lingzi, why are you here?" , your brother and the others, in the pond to the east, if you want to find them, you can go there."

When Yu Ling just came over, seeing Chang Man standing blankly looking at Zhang Yun's back, she already felt uncomfortable, but now she heard him say that again, obviously she didn't care about herself, and became more sullen, so she said angrily: "Can't I come here with my aunt? Could it be that only other people are allowed to come here, and I am not allowed to come here." As he spoke, he glanced in the direction where Zhang Yun was leaving.

"Whatever Lingzi said, you can come naturally, but there is no one from your family here, so it's okay to come." Chang Man didn't feel anything wrong with Yu Ling, just took the bowl and poured the rice porridge, Mouth back a few words.

Now Yu Ling was even angrier, but she was embarrassed to say so, so she could only stomp her feet, sulking herself, Shao Shi watched from the side, and felt a little strange, but she couldn't expose it, so she could only smooth things over Said: "Lingzi saw that my aunt was not alone, so she came with me, how caring, I really envy people who have daughters, it's not like we only have two boys in our family, I don't understand these things at all."

Chang Man didn't take it seriously when he heard it, hehe smiled, and took the bowl to drink rice porridge, and ate the pancake with the other hand, and didn't say anything more to Yu Ling.

Yu Ling had seen Shao passing by her yard at first, and suddenly had an idea, thinking that she should be delivering breakfast to Chang Man, so she sneaked out of the yard and caught up with Shao, saying that she was going to watch the excitement by the pond, just to accompany her After walking for a while, I didn't know that when I got here, I was very angry. Before Chang Man had finished his breakfast, he spoke to Shao angrily, turned around and ran away.

Chang Man didn't know about this, he only looked at Yu Ling's leaving back, and ate breakfast by himself, only Shaw Brothers, who could feel some of Yu Ling's thoughts, couldn't help but look at her leaving Direction, looked for a while.
