Wentang

Chapter 9 Yue Shui'er

The next day, Yue Shanniang got up to cook before dawn. Yue Shan was very sleepy but insisted on getting out of bed.Not only their family, but also the neighbors around got up and started a new day of life.

The whole village also broke free from the silence of the night and became noisy and lively.This is the so-called connection between chickens and dogs.

When he was getting dressed, Yue Shan could still smell the strong fishy smell, which made him so disgusted that he almost vomited out the overnight meal.But no matter how fishy it is, you have to eat it. How can you grow your body without eating meat.

So when making breakfast, under his strong request, Yue Shanniang had to cook a big herring again.He also asked Yue Shanniang to cook some corn as bait for fishing.

Hearing that it was used for fishing, Yue Shanniang boiled a large handful without saying a word, and wrapped it in sackcloth after controlling the water.As for the remaining soup, it cannot be wasted. It is put into jars and kept to quench thirst while working.

After a little exercise in the yard, it was time for breakfast.Cooked big herring is indeed much tastier than small fish and shrimp, at least there is a whole piece of fish to eat.

The fish head belongs to Yue Shanniang, and the fattest fish body is eaten by Yue Shan and his son.And the little girl only got the tail of the fish, so she still looked happy, and gnawed every bone on the tail of the fish clean.

Yue Shan shook his head secretly, and gave her two pieces of fish.Just as Yue Shanniang was about to say something, Yue Shan quickly picked up two more pieces of meat and put them in her bowl, and immediately praised her son for his filial piety.

He didn't pursue the matter of giving fish to the little girl, but just muttered a few words such as losing money and the matter passed.

After breakfast, Mother Yue Shan called the little girl to work in the field together, how could Yue Shan agree.He just moved out the excuse he had thought up last night, fishing alone was too troublesome, and he wanted the little girl to go with him.

Yue Shanniang didn't even think about her son's request, and agreed immediately. Anyway, the little girl is only six years old and going to the field can't help much.At the same time, she also told the little girl to take good care of her brother and so on.

After that, the couple went out to work with the farm tools on their shoulders.

Walking on the road, the blind dates smelled the fishy smell on their bodies, not only did not find it unpleasant, but they deliberately leaned in and took a few deep breaths, and then showed intoxicated expressions.Those who didn't know thought they were the ones who ate fish.

The envious eyes of the neighbors made the couple feel like walking with wind.

Yue Shan didn't go out in a hurry, he knew the actual situation of fishing, just put some bait in the next cage, it didn't need to expend any effort at all.

"Little girl, come here." Yue Shan waved to the little girl hiding aside who was looking at him curiously.

Obviously this girl is also curious, why has my brother become a little abnormal recently?He spoke so harmoniously, and even gave her fish to eat.

Yue Shan didn't inherit much memory from his original body. He didn't know that although Yue Shan didn't abuse the little girl before, he was not very close to his sister who was poisoned by patriarchal thoughts.

When they were sick, Yue Laosi and his wife thought the little girl was unlucky and kept her away from Yue Shan.So strictly speaking, this is the first official contact between the two siblings after time travel.

The little girl is naturally strange and curious about this brother who is so different.But if you want to ask her which one she likes, it must be her current brother.

Seeing her elder brother calling her, the little girl hesitated for a moment before moving over in small steps, her head still hanging down, not daring to lift it up.

"Little girl... well, it's not good to call you little girl all the time, brother will give you a name." Yue Shan rubbed her little head and said warmly.

The little girl looked up at him and quickly lowered her head, her mouth tightly shut without saying a word.Yue Shan didn't expect her to accept him so quickly, he still said to himself:
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as if you agree. My name is Yue Shan and your name is Yue Shui'er. Shanshui Shanshui happens to be brothers and sisters, isn't it good?"

After speaking, Yue Shan looked at her expectantly, waiting for her answer.

Little girl... No, she should be called Yue Shui'er.Seeing that her brother stopped talking suddenly, she secretly raised her head to observe the situation, suddenly met Yue Shan's eyes, and took two steps back in fright.

"Your name is Yue Shui'er, okay?" Yue Shan asked again.

This time Yue Shui'er finally gave a response, and she nodded in a subtle way, if Yue Shan hadn't been watching her all the time, she might not have been able to tell.

"Well, your name will be Yue Shui'er. In the future, if someone asks your name, tell him your name is Yue Shui'er. At home, we will continue to call you by your nickname, Little Girl." Yue Shan repeated tirelessly.

Communication this thing, the first time, the second time is much easier.This time Yue Shui'er obviously nodded twice.

"Come on, let's clean up the house first." Yue Shan said with a smile.

For children like Yue Shui'er, it is difficult to directly chat with them to be effective, and it will be effective to communicate in the way they are most familiar with.

What is Yue Shui'er most familiar with?Very sad answer, work.For a six-year-old child, the thing he is most familiar with and good at is actually working.Only when she is working will she feel that she is useful and will not be sold by her parents, and she will feel at ease.

Children in ancient times, especially those from poor families, matured so precociously that it was heartbreaking.

Sure enough, after getting busy, Yue Shui'er seemed to be a different person, his hands and feet were quick and brisk, and his working speed made Yue Shan feel ashamed.

In fact, there is nothing to clean up at home.

They have only moved here for a few months, and they still live in the relief housing distributed by the imperial court, that is, three thatched huts.After moving in, Yue Lao Si fenced a small courtyard and came out. This is Yue Shan's home in this life, and it is also the home of everyone with the four surnames Ping.

Don't think it's simple, countless people in this era can't even dream of such a home.

I simply cleaned up the ground, put the dead branches and leaves on the ground, and the chopped firewood together, and it was already cleaned up.

Afterwards, Yue Shan boiled hot water and washed the little girl's head, hands, and feet on the grounds that she was dirty from work and needed to be washed.Let the little girl wipe herself again.

Yue Shui'er's body was really dirty, she changed the water three times just to wash her hair, and three more times to wash her hands, feet, and body before she was barely clean.After drying her hair, Yue Shan tied her hair into a ponytail with a piece of cloth.

No way, no one told him to only do this hairstyle.

Looking at her again at this time, although she is still so dark and sallow and thin, she is very clean and neat, and she finally looks like a child.

Originally, Yue Shan wanted to change her clothes and wash them off, but he searched every place in the house and couldn't find any clothes suitable for her.

Soon he realized that Yue Shui'er had no other clothes to change except for the suit she was wearing.

After finishing all this work, Yue Shan looked at the sky and it was almost nine ten o'clock, and then took Yue Shui'er to the stream to fish.
