Huanxi Farm: Pick up a husband for farming

Chapter 2 Is This Maternal Love?

Rong Wan is smart and capable. Under Li's training, she is a master at handling the affairs inside and outside the house, and her embroidery skills are well-known in the village.The appearance is just like the name, beautiful and gentle, she is one of the most beauties in the village.

Rong's family was poor, so she followed Mrs. Li to pick up the needlework of those well-to-do ladies, old and young women, and embroidered some small items such as handkerchiefs and purses for them to supplement the family income.

Rong Wan has always loved the silent second sister the most, now that she can speak, she is very happy for her.

She took out the needle and thread from her bosom, pulled Rongshui over, and showed Rongshui what those guys were all about.

"I took over the job from Aunt Li's house today, and embroidered for her a festive handkerchief with two mandarin ducks playing in the water."

Rong Wan explained with a smile, and then told Rong Xiaomei: "Go and get my embroidery frame." Rong Xiaomei jumped up and down and left.

"Second Sister, sit down." After speaking, Rong Wan smiled and stuffed a piece of red embroidered cloth into Rong Shui's arms, and said, "I'll teach you this today."

Holding the square cloth, Rongshui couldn't help feeling guilty, how could she know how to embroider.But in this era, if a woman doesn't know how to become a female celebrity, she is a different kind.

Looking at Rong Wan's expectant eyes, Rong Shui was worried that she would see the clues, so he bit the bullet and nodded, saying: "Yes."

It happened that Miss Rong jumped Gao'er out with two embroidered stretchers, Rong Shui took one embroidered stretcher, carefully peeked at Rong Wan's every move, and followed suit, and there was no big mistake.

Once the embroidered cloth is stretched, the real difficulty begins.

Rong Shui concentrated on watching Rong Wan's every movement, carefully holding the embroidery needle and moving the needle along the pattern of mandarin ducks drawn on the embroidered cloth.

Rong Wan's speed is very fast, threading the needle and thread, making people's eyes dazzled, and the embroidery was completed in a short time.She held the embroidered stretcher and looked at it for a while, then stretched her head to look at Rongshui's.

"Second sister, see yours?"

Rong Shui blushed, and showed Rong Wan the embroidery in his hand.

"Puchi." Rong Wan couldn't help laughing after only one glance.

It turned out that Rongshui drove the ducks to the shelves, and the embroidery was embroidered. Unfortunately, the embroidered ones were not mandarin ducks, but two chickens.

Rong Shui's face was red, her cheeks were hot, and she couldn't say a word in shame.

"Why is Ah Wan smiling so happily?"

When Rong Shui was too embarrassed, Li's voice came from outside the door.After she stepped through the threshold, she saw Rongshui holding an embroidery frame in his hand, on which were embroidered two funny things that looked like a chicken, not a chicken, and a bird, not a bird, and immediately understood what was going on.

Rong Shui's face was flushed, she thought she was about to be amused, but Li Shi turned her face hard and said to Rong Wan: "What's so ridiculous?"

Rong Wan was taken aback for a moment, then restrained her smile embarrassingly.

Mrs. Li walked up to Rongshui, embraced her, and said, "Your second sister is just recovering from a serious illness, you don't feel sorry for her learning embroidery with you, and laugh at her, do you still look like a big sister?"

After hearing this, Rong Wan bowed her head with shame on her face and said, "Ah Niang taught me the lesson."

Only then did Mrs. Li calm down, and said: "Since that's the case, I will teach your second sister patiently in the future." Turning her head, she said to Rong Shui: "Ah Shui, if you feel unwell, you must tell Auntie , It’s Aniang who didn’t think carefully, and you are asked to learn from female celebrities before you are in good shape, come, Aniang, have a look, did you tie your hands?”

Mrs. Li took Rongshui's hand, and carefully checked whether there was any needle hole in her hand that was accidentally pricked. When she saw a wound, she felt distressed and kept blowing, and her mouth couldn't help comforting, "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt." ".

Seeing her loving face, Rong Shui suddenly felt a prick in a soft place in his heart, a dull pain.

Is this mother love?

She is an orphan, and since she was a child, she could only look at other children acting like a baby in her mother's arms. When she was a child, she would envy her and feel very disappointed because of this. When she grew up, she was used to it and became numb.

But today Li Shi's actions made her already numb heart burst into longing for family affection again.

"Aniang, I'm fine." Rong Shui softened his voice, and comforted Li in turn.

"Aniang." Suddenly a cool male voice came, interrupting the scene of Rong Shui and Li's mother and daughter's deep love.Rong Shui looked up, and saw a tall young man who was dressed in burlap, but not concealing his good looks, coming from the kitchen. It was Rong Ming, the elder brother of the original owner of Rong Shui.

Rong Ming came out and said to Li Shi: "Mother, I went to the kitchen to have a look just now, the salt at home is almost gone, I have to go to the market to buy some oil, salt, rice vinegar and come back."

Mrs. Li agreed, but Rong Ming didn't go out immediately, but walked up to Rong Shui, knelt down, and said with a smile: "I heard that the second sister can talk?"

Rong Shui nodded, and shouted with a smile: "Brother."

Rong Ming's face was full of joy, and he reached out to touch Rong Shui's hair, and said, "Great! You can talk now! Second sister, brother is going to the market, do you have anything you want? Brother I'll bring you one back. You can speak suddenly, but I don't know if your throat can bear it? How about big brother bring you a jar of pear ointment to moisten your throat? Or buy you one or two head flowers?"

Scenes of tenderness made Rong Shui's thoughts turn. She was moved by Li Shi's affectionate maternal love, and decided to stay as the little girl now.If she stays, the first thing to do is to find a way to get the Rong family out of this state of poverty.

She has read many time-travel novels. The protagonists rely on their advanced ideas and keen intuition to gain insight into business opportunities that the aborigines cannot discover, and finally open their golden fingers and lead the whole family to the pinnacle of life.

This looks easy, but it is difficult to do.The first thing to solve is business opportunities, where to find business opportunities?As a little girl, the easiest place to find business opportunities is undoubtedly the market.

Thinking of this, Rong Shui shook his head at Rongming, and said, "Brother, I don't want pear cream, and I don't want hair flowers." She raised her head, her eyes were firm enough for her age, "I just want to go to the fair with my brother." Check out the city."

"This..." Rong Ming hesitated. His younger sister is Yuxue and cute. In the past, she was labeled as the reincarnation of a vixen because she couldn't speak. The hooligans saw it, what should they do if they want to steal or rob?

"No, the market is too chaotic, big brother can't watch you all the time, what if someone kidnaps you?" Rong Ming pondered for a moment, but still shook his head and rejected Rong Shui's pleading.

Rong Shui's mind was running fast, and he immediately realized that this was ancient times, which was different from modern times. The original owner was such a cute little girl, if she was kidnapped and sold into slavery, then her life would be over.

"Then I'll pretend to be ugly, can I go with my brother?" Rong Shui was unwilling to give up such an opportunity, she knew that the market didn't happen every day, so she had to seize the opportunity so as not to delay the opportunity to discover business opportunities.

Rong Ming still hesitated, Rong Shui had no choice but to grit his teeth, under the pressure of being 30 years old, and began to use his trump card: a privilege that only belongs to eight-year-old girls, acting coquettishly and shamelessly.

She closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, grabbed Rong Ming's sleeve and shook it back and forth, holding back her shame and said, "Brother, can you just take me there, Ah Shui promises to be obedient, Ah Shui has been locked in the room all the time." Here, I haven’t gone out to see the world, so my eldest brother will take Ah Shui to have a look, okay..."

After she finished speaking, she felt goosebumps all over her body because of her disgust, and she hardly dared to look up at Rong Ming's face.

But Rong Ming smiled and said: "Ah Shui used to be the quietest, but now that he can talk, his temper has become a little more lively. Since you want to go, it's not that elder brother can't agree to you, but Ah Shui must I have to promise my brother, you must follow him closely, if there are suspicious people you don't know who strike up a conversation with you, you must not pay attention to it, otherwise, if something happens to Ah Shui, how will your brother explain to your mother and father. "

Rong Shui smiled sweetly at Rong Ming, and said: "Brother is right, Ah Shui remembers it." But his heart was shocked, he didn't know what the character of the original owner was, from what they said, it seemed to be a A very shy little girl, it seems that she should be more careful in the future, so as not to let them see through her feet.

Although the whole family cares about her very much, Rong Shui also knows that their concern is for the original owner. In this ignorant and feudal era, if they know that she is not the original owner, they will probably think that she is a monster from somewhere Bar.

Rong Ming nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Rong Wan and said, "A Wan, I leave it to you to make the second sister look ugly."

Rong Wan felt guilty because she laughed at Rong Shui before, and was eager to make up for her. Hearing what Rong Ming said, she immediately nodded and said: "Leave this matter to me."

She came over with a smile and took Rong Shui's hand to go to the kitchen. When she came to the kitchen, Rong Shui saw that she was almost drunk.

This is not so much a kitchen as it is just a shed that was built randomly, a stove made of adobe bricks, a precarious Eight Immortals table that looks older than her before crossing, the four corners are all smoothed, A few short horses, and a cupboard with only half a door left, with a few dishes stacked inside.Other than that, nothing else.

Rong Shui looked up and saw that there were several holes in the roof, and a few beams of sunlight came in from the outside, thinking that if it rained, wouldn't there be a flood inside?
Seeing this dilapidated scene, she strengthened her determination to find a way to lead the Rong family out of poverty and become rich.Otherwise, in this kind of family, can she really grow up healthy as a frail little girl?

Rong Wan took out a piece of black charcoal from the stove, and greeted Rong Shui with a smile: "Second sister, come here." After Rong Shui passed by, she took the charcoal and carefully drew on Rong Shui's face.

After finishing the painting, Rong Shui asked, "Sister, do you have a mirror?"

Rong Wan stretched out her hand and flicked her nose, and said angrily: "Second Sister, are you sick and confused? When will our family be able to afford a mirror? If you want to see yourself, just come with Elder Sister."

Rong Shui was speechless, she only knew that the Rong family was poor, but she didn't expect that the poor didn't even have a mirror, it seemed that it was really urgent to lead the Rong family out of poverty.
