Wang family small peasant girl

Chapter 96

Zhang Yun figured it out after a second thought. They were afraid they had misunderstood and thought she was doing laundry and food for Wu Xulang. No wonder the two of them looked unnatural.

"Send Dongzi to school, and me too. I just sent Xingzi here, and I brought breakfast to my master. His old man confiscated it. Our family sent some food, which is also a token of gratitude." Zhang Yun didn't make a special effort To explain, just say the last sentence in passing.

After Zhang Yun finished speaking, he carried the basket and left. Chang Man hurriedly waved his hand to let Chang Dong enter the classroom by himself, turned around and chased after him, and Chang Juan followed.

"Yun'er." Chang Man and Chang Juan quickly caught up with her, and the three of them walked back all the way. Chang Man carefully peeked at Zhang Yun, and seeing that she didn't look unhappy, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked a little. .

"Actually, it's nothing, just thinking that there is no one to take care of my master, so my mother and I discussed it, helping to deliver meals and clean up, so that my master can teach with peace of mind." Zhang Yun didn't intend to hide it, so he just put This matter has been roughly said.

Now that the misunderstanding was completely resolved, Chang Man immediately laughed, "Yun'er, you are so thoughtful, none of us thought that the master has done a great deed for the village, how can we not repay you, since It’s a matter for the whole village, so we should all help, not just your family, I’ll tell my mother later that we’ll take turns delivering meals.”

Having said that, Chang Man smiled and pushed Chang Juan, saying: "Xiao Juan, you can also help with the laundry and tidying up, and find some good girls along the way, and everyone will work together."

Originally this was a good thing, but when Chang Juan remembered Wu Xulang's appearance and thought that she still had to work for that stinky guy, she felt unhappy, so she couldn't help turning her mouth to Chang Man, "Brother Man, I know You feel sorry for Yun'er, it's okay to find other sisters, but I'm not happy to face that stinky guy."

Chang Man didn't know that there was a discrepancy between Chang Juan and Wu Xulang, and he was confused when he heard it, but he couldn't care less, and hurriedly looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, he felt relieved, and turned to Zhang Yun. He said urgently: "Xiaojuan's mouth is like this, don't worry, no one will hear it."

"What's wrong with me, dare you say that you didn't propose this because you feel sorry for Yun'er." Chang Juan refused to listen, and insisted on adding another sentence.

Zhang Yun was a little warmed by the words, so he glared at Chang Juan, thinking that she was deliberately laughing at them, and if he stayed any longer, he didn't know what to say, so he hurriedly said: "I won't tell you, I will Go back." He turned around and ran away at a faster pace.

It's rare for Chang Man to meet Zhang Yun, and he wanted to walk all the way to send her back, but now it's too late, there are still many people who send their children to school, and it's not good for him to just chase after her, so he can only stare at her in a daze His back, until it became a black spot in his sight, and he could no longer see clearly, then he walked back.

After returning home, Chang Man told Shao Shi about delivering meals and cleaning up for his wife. Shao Shi naturally agreed, and said: "This is a great thing, so we can repay the favor of Master. How about it, mother Go tell each family that when the time comes, the whole village will take turns to come, so that the work of each family will not be delayed, and the master will also be able to taste different crafts from time to time, which is not very good."

In fact, Chang Man also thought so in his heart, but it was a little unreasonable for his half-old child to call on everyone. If his mother said it, then there would be no problem, so he immediately nodded with a smile.

Shaw has taught women and children in the village to weave these days, and she has gained some prestige in the village. In addition, when she went to talk about it, she mentioned Zhang's family. Zhang's family has made so many contributions, so it is naturally very popular. Moreover, they are all happy to do things for their wives. In this way, it can be said that they hit it off, and soon the daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law of each family took turns to arrange this matter.

With the participation of the whole village, and taking turns to line up like this, Zhang's family might not have a turn to deliver food and clean up once a month, and Zhang Yun and Zhou's burdens were immediately lightened.

Midsummer August was spent in the midsummer, when the daughters-in-law and mother-in-law took turns cooking delicious food for their wife. As soon as September entered, there were two autumn rains, and the hot weather was immediately relieved. Can feel a little cool.

The weather this year is better than the previous year. According to my grandfather, the crops in the field are growing better than the previous year. I am afraid that it will be almost mid-September when the corn and wheat will be harvested in the field.

This year, every household is ready to be busy in autumn, because not only in the field, but now the cattail grass in the pond has grown tall, and the cattail grass has to be cut after the work is done in the field, and the camellia oleifera on the mountain also has to be picked. At that time, I'm afraid that everyone would like to have more hands.

At the end of August, Lizheng had already summoned the men in the village to divide the work of picking camellia oleifera fruit, pressing oil, and cutting cattail grass, so that when the time came, everyone would rush to pick and squeeze oil, and the cattail catkins would not work instead. No one is in charge, and there is only one oil press in the village. If they all go to extract oil, they have to wait in a long line, which will delay the work.

After Lizheng convened a unified discussion, every household got a good arrangement. It was the Zhang family's turn to harvest tea and fruit on September 25th to 27th, to cut cattail grass on the 29th and 30th, and to the third and fourth day of November. When it was the turn of the oil press, everything was arranged in perfect order.

Thinking that in more than ten days, the whole family will have to go to the autumn harvest. I am afraid that there will be no free time before the New Year, so Zhang Yun takes advantage of this time and asks his father and elder brother to take out the silage stored in the cellar. And put into the production of the second batch of silage.

Same as last time, Zhang Yun would go to the Qingling River to harvest pigweed sooner or later, and next night when the eldest brother came back from the field, he would help cut some. After a few days of work, the pigweed in the cellar was full again , re-sealed and fermented, these are reserved for the pigs to eat in winter, when the grass withers, if there is no silage, the pigs will naturally not be full.

After the silage was finished at home, Zhang Yun went to Qingtunling. In autumn, not only camellia oleifera was picking, but she also had to check whether this year's devil ginger had matured. This is the staple food of pigs, and it consumes more The green fodder was much bigger, and she was looking forward to digging it home as soon as possible.

Zhang Yun went to Qingtunling and found that some ghost gingers could be dug, but most of them were not good enough, so she didn't ask her family to come, she just dug by herself for a few days, which was considered a few days. Going back with sacks, I thought that in a few days, I should be able to dig a few baskets and come back. I have to fill up three or four large cellars before I can eat them.

It was not until noon that day, after the house was cleaned up, Zhang Yun wanted to take the sack to Qingtun Ridge again, and just after he got the sack from the kitchen, a figure ran in from outside the courtyard.

"Sister Yun'er, my mother asked me to call you." The figure called out as soon as it ran in. Zhang Yun saw that the small figure was running towards her, and it turned out to be Chang Fu.

"Run slowly, don't worry." Zhang Yun quickly went up to meet him, knelt down in front of him, took his hand and said with a smile, "Xiao Fu, did your mother say what's going on?"

Chang Fu frowned slightly, shook his head slightly and said: "Mother didn't say, there are guests at home." Chang Fu smiled when he mentioned the guests, but Zhang Yun couldn't understand the meaning of the words, but she I didn't ask any more, Chang Fu is so young, I'm afraid I can't explain clearly if I ask him, so I might as well run to him.

Zhang Yun was about to take Chang Fu out when Zhou came out from the backyard. When he saw Chang Fu, he smiled and said, "Why is Xiao Fu here? There is nothing delicious at home. There are still some water chestnuts in the kitchen. Auntie will wash them for you." some more."

As Mrs. Zhou said that, she came up to them. Chang Fu hurriedly looked up and smiled at Mrs. Zhou, and nodded vigorously. Mrs. Zhou went to the kitchen to wash the water chestnuts, wrapped them in lotus leaves, and handed them to Chang Fu.

Chang Fu took it and put it in his pocket. Seeing that he put it away, Zhang Yun said to Zhou: "Mother, Auntie asked Xiao Fu to call me over. I'm afraid I have something to do. I'll go and have a look, and I'll be back later." After Mrs. Zhou agreed, she led Chang Fu out of the courtyard.

The two walked along the path, and just around the Qingling River, they saw Chang Man running over from a long distance, ran up to him to take a breath and said, "Why has it been so long, I thought Xiao Fu ran to the wrong place, so come and see."

"No, just now my mother washed some water chestnuts for Xiaofu, and she was delayed for some time. Why are you in such a hurry? What's the matter?" Li took out the handkerchief and handed it over.

When Chang Man looked at it, he was happy in his heart, so he didn't take it immediately, but looked around and saw no one was passing by, so he leaned down and put his face close to it with a smile.

Seeing his expectant eyes, Zhang Yun squeezed his hands, took a peek around for a few times, and then thought about how it was like an affair, couldn't help but jump up in his heart, and hurriedly stretched out his hand on his forehead , Wiped his temples carelessly a few times, then forced the handkerchief into his hand, and said, "Wipe it yourself." He pulled Chang Fu up and hurried forward.

Chang Man was overwhelmed with joy, and his heart was beating fast. Seeing her walking quickly, he smirked for a while before chasing after her. He then took Chang Fu's hand and walked forward together.

When the sun in the sky shone down, the figures of the three of them were cast on the ground. Chang casually glanced behind him, saw the two high and one low shadows, and laughed all of a sudden, thinking in his heart, maybe a few years later, this way You can see the shadow from time to time.

Zhang Yun didn't know what he was thinking at all, but after walking a few steps, he felt that there was something wrong with the two of them holding Chang Fu in such a way, so he hurriedly let go and walked aside to avoid being hit by the villagers.

Zhang Yun's actions made Chang Man come back to his senses from his little thoughts. Although he was a little bit disappointed, it couldn't offset the happiness when he just wiped his sweat. He couldn't help but smiled and said: "Yun'er, you just now Ask me what's the matter, hehe, let me tell you, it's a happy event."

"Happy event? What happy event?" Zhang Yun turned his head to look at him, saw his face full of smiles, and hurriedly asked.

"A guest came to my house today. He is the second shopkeeper in my uncle's shop. He brought good news. He said that the straw weaving utensils we brought last time were almost sold out, and he brought all the money. He also said that uncle Tell him to bring some more when you go back, saying that many people in Changzhou like it, and I'm afraid it will become more and more popular." Chang Man carefully told Zhang Yun the good news.

I thought it would take a while to get better, but I didn't expect that there would be a good sign so soon. Zhang Yun was overjoyed when he heard it.
