Notes on Leisurely Living in the Farm

Chapter 4

The Shen family's courtyard house is not big, the house is not high and there is no decoration, but compared with other earth embryo houses in Yunlin Village, it is already very grand.

Walking beside Siya, Yiyou looked at the younger sister who was dearest to her.In the previous life, he took advantage of her a lot, and she thought it was good for her.But when she was tortured for half a month, she heard it from the mouths of the two old mothers, and it seemed that she had been talking bad things about her behind her back.And the two miscarriages are also inextricably related to her.

The past is over, time goes back, and now she can no longer pursue the bottom line and find out the truth hidden under many calculations.However, those traces of the past still made her not have a good impression of this person.It's fine if she doesn't provoke her.Dare to take the initiative to come up, she is not a piece of tofu.

Siya lives in the back room in the last row. The room is not big, and half of the room is still piled with sundries.The three of them walked in, and Chang Sheng sat on the only chair, and they went directly to the kang.

On the pitch-black square table by the side of the Kang, a light yellow silk handkerchief was particularly eye-catching.Yiyou lowered her eyes, she really came.Most girls like small delicate things, especially her, more than others.Seeing this handkerchief in her previous life, she was so jealous.

"Second sister, look..."

"Sister, I want to eat cakes."

Si Ya's words were interrupted, and she became angry for no reason.Yiyou looked in the direction of her younger brother, and outside the window, a child from some relative was eating happily with a piece of cake.The cut cake is made of glutinous rice flour with sugar, steamed with live red dates, and there are balls of red dates on the white top, just looking at it makes people salivate.Changsheng is five years old, just the age of greedy, so he can't help it.

Seeing Siya's embarrassed face after being interrupted, Yiyou suddenly felt that Changsheng was even cuter.

"Fourth sister, do you still have cakes in the kitchen?"

Si Ya is very annoying now, she doesn't understand at all, why mother treats Er Ya so well, everything that is good makes her jealous.But every time she got into trouble, Mother would always tell her that it was all for her and Chunsheng's good.Although she kissed Er Ya according to her mother's advice, she was really upset.

"That's for greeting guests. Changsheng is so old, eating too much sweets is bad for your teeth."

He expressed his concern on his lips, but the disgust on his face was undisguised. This behavior is far worse than that of Cheng's.Seeing her younger brother's disappointed expression, Yiyou felt a little distressed.If it wasn't for grandma's eccentricity and almost letting her father leave the house when they got married, Changsheng wouldn't be able to afford a slice of cake now.

In the past, she liked her second uncle and second aunt, so naturally she would only blame her parents for being useless.But looking out now, the land and house that should have belonged to her father are now all occupied by the second uncle.Man said it was a sliced ​​cake, or the Eight Treasures Feast, and they didn't mind eating it.

"Changsheng didn't eat much in the morning, so he should be hungry now. Eat something to fill your hunger, and you can stay until lunch."

Changsheng nodded like a rattle, and swallowed his saliva by the way.

"My sister didn't eat too much, so we shared a piece."

Si Ya didn't care about the handkerchief, and directly brought her impatience into her voice: "It won't be enough if he eats others. If that happens, my mother will be unhappy."

"It's one or two yuan. If you don't tell me, no one can tell. Look, someone in the kitchen brought out a new one. Changsheng hasten to get it."

Changsheng listened to his sister's words very much, he lifted his feet and ran out.Siya on the kang looked at her like a ghost. Is this the second sister who looked disgusted when she mentioned longevity?
"Finally sent away, children are annoying."

A vague sentence made Si Ya feel relieved.

Yiyou leaned against the wall and closed her eyes to rest. She didn't pretend to be intentional, but she suddenly changed too much, which would inevitably arouse the doubts of the second uncle's family.

The second aunt has been trying to win her over five years ago, and now she knows exactly what she is trying to do.She was ten years old five years ago, which happened to be the time when her appearance bloomed.At that time, they had this awareness, they won her over, and sent her to a wealthy family to be a concubine.If things come true, with her stupid nature, they will reap countless benefits.There is no loss if it fails, just a few good words and a little thing, it doesn't hurt or itch at all for the patriarch's family.

They succeeded in the previous life, relying on her good looks, she climbed up step by step.At that time, she fully thought that the second uncle's family was sincerely good to her and could be her reliance more than her parents' longevity, so she tried her best to win over and support her.Not to mention gold, silver and treasures, she also begged Chen Deren to find her second uncle an errand in the government office.

Now, they certainly won't give up so easily.Moreover, they took advantage and turned their faces hastily. The only one who suffered was themselves.

It's really difficult, Yiyou frowned, and her thoughts gradually drifted away.When she was in the Chen Mansion, all she had learned was some vicious methods of fighting for favor, and she was still a little powerless to deal with the wily second uncle and aunt.

"Sister, I want two yuan, let's eat together."

Changsheng flew in like a happy bird, holding a porcelain plate in his little hand, with two crystal-clear cut cakes on it.

Putting the plate in front of her, he didn't move, but quietly waited for her to share.

This little brother, in her previous life, she was really deceived by lard, that's why she felt that he couldn't do anything.Looking at it now, compared to Chunsheng, who only asks her for money, but actually greets his friends through literature, Changsheng is as good as heaven.

Pick up a piece and break it in half: "Fourth sister, let's eat together, and the rest will be given to Changsheng."

Si Ya was also greedy, but she looked at the biggest piece.

"Longevity people don't have many snacks, so I will break them for him."

This younger sister still doesn't suffer at all. In the past, she was foolish and would let her go, but now she doesn't think about it at all.She is Changsheng's biological sister, and she should also protect her younger brother.

"Eating too much sweet is bad for your teeth. It doesn't matter if Changsheng has tooth decay, but the fourth sister can't. Changsheng eat quickly, it's not that you can't help running to ask for it, and eat it all if you want it."

Don't mention how uncomfortable Siya felt when she was blocked by her own words.Also puzzled was Chang Sheng, who looked up aggrievedly, and he saw his sister winking at him.Suddenly he remembered what his sister said last night: "Tomorrow we go to the second uncle's house, and my sister may teach you a lesson. Don't believe it, just look at my sister's eyes then."

After speaking, my sister blinked like this. Now, my sister must be teasing him.

As long as my sister is not angry, she picked up the sliced ​​cake and he started to eat it.

Seeing Changsheng bite down, Siya was annoyed, and silently picked up her own half.Yiyou also chewed slowly, the cut cake was soft, glutinous and sweet. Although she ate all kinds of delicacies in the Chen Mansion, after her rebirth, she always had clear soup and water.

While eating, she thought, the family can't always be so poor.After she escaped being a maid, she had to find a way to earn some money.

Although she wants to be down-to-earth again, she also wants to live a prosperous life.But this time, she won't be blindfolded to be someone else's concubine, she will fight for it with her own hands.

After Cheng settled the matter ahead, when she came to look for her daughter, she fully expected to see a niece holding silk and satin, who would be envious.She never wanted to open the door, but she saw three local children with their mouths full of sliced ​​cakes.

Knowing that her daughter was unreliable in her work, she clenched her fists and let go, and put on that kind and kind face again.

"Second aunt."

"Did Changsheng and Erya have fun, and Siya, you are really too, let alone take a few more sliced ​​cakes."

Mrs. Cheng said angrily, and sat down: "The recipe for cutting cakes is thanks to Chunsheng. Someone in his classmate's family works in the back kitchen of the county government office, and this recipe came from there. I learned it and asked someone to make it." some."

As expected of the Cheng family who is the most proficient in calculations, he involved big families in a few words.

In front of Si Ya, she still dared to use some small tricks to make her feel uncomfortable.But now in front of Cheng's, she has to cheer up.According to how close she was to Cheng before, what should she do now?
Thinking about it, she got down from the kang, grabbed Cheng's skirt and looked forward to it: "No wonder today's cakes are delicious, second aunt, the cakes in the county government are so delicious?"

Mrs. Cheng took the opportunity to sit down: "There are not only cut cakes in the county government office, but also a lot of snacks. The masters are even more expensive, and they don't need much to eat. Most of the rest are cheaper than the servant girls. You see This veil is what they use."

Pulling the handkerchief on the table, Cheng unfolded it, and a pink peony was embroidered on the goose yellow handkerchief, which was generous and delicate.In her previous life, Yiyou had lived in Yunlin Village since she was a child. She had never seen such an exquisite thing before. She was fascinated by it just by looking at it. She kept thinking about it and insisted on persuading her parents to become a maid.

"It's so beautiful. My mother will definitely not be able to do it. I don't know if the second aunt will do it."

Blinking at her younger brother, Yiyou looked at Cheng's proud expression, she didn't understand, she would really be like a county government house full of gold, and once inside, she would soar into the sky.Correspondingly, now she is also salivating.

"I am such a fool, how can I have such a precious thing. It is not because of the blessing of my classmate Chunsheng that I saw such a piece. Bring it back today and show it to the people of Shenjia Village. I will have to return it tomorrow." go back."

In her previous life, Yiyou only said it was a pity, but now that she heard this sentence and went back, she thought of more.

During those few years in the Chen Mansion, she understood that the rules of the inner house were strict, and that what kind of person deserves what kind of things are easily unbreakable.

Peony is the king of flowers, and it is not available for ordinary aunts.Especially the one on the handkerchief, which uses three-color silk thread, the color goes from light to dark, and it looks like a real peony when embroidered on it.Such a superb skill must be expensive, this kind of thing can be sold in the Chen family, and it is even better in the county government.It is so precious that it is definitely not something that a cook can take out at will.Most likely, this item belongs to Mrs. Xiancheng herself.

But now she has fallen into Cheng's hands, even though she is only borrowed, this is also a great face.How could a village woman like Cheng have such a face?
Stripping the cocoon, a simple thing before, but now it is full of weirdness.Could it be that there was a deeper reason behind her being a maid in her previous life?
"Sister, when I grow up and go to work in the county government, I will ask you for a handkerchief like this."

Changsheng's soft voice awakened Yiyou who was in deep thought.Looking up, she saw Cheng looking at her with satisfaction. It turned out that she was stunned at the veil without knowing it.Right now, Cheng definitely thinks that her plan has initially come to fruition.

Then she might as well add fuel to the fire and take the opportunity to paralyze her: "I don't need you to ask for it, the second aunt will get it for me."

After she finished speaking, she raised her head with a firm face, completely trusting the appearance of the second aunt.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Siya, clearly seeing the struggle and unwillingness in her eyes, and Yiyou was even more delighted.Although he can't do anything to her now, it's still okay to make her feel sick while taking advantage of Cheng Shixu's idle time.
