Traversing the good life of a peasant woman

Chapter 60

Fang Tongye was completely guarded by Mrs. Zhao this time. For several days in a row, no matter where he went, Mrs. Zhao would follow him.

But with the coming of the farming day, Mrs. Zhao couldn't continue to be idle at home like this, but when she thought of her going to work in the field, no one would look at Fang Tongye. She racked her brains and found a handful The rusty lock caused Fang Tongye, who was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, to retaliate: "Mother, what are you doing? Are you crazy? Are you trying to treat me as a prisoner in that prison?"

"I didn't treat you as a prisoner, because you are my son, so I can't just watch you go the wrong way." Zhao Shi was not angry, and persuaded him earnestly.

"You are sophistrying, you are making unreasonable words, what is for my own good, I am not good at all, I am very bad!" Fang Tongye yelled at Zhao Shi Datong, and then said to Zhao Shi like crazy: "I am not good at all!" I won’t agree with you treating me like this, from now on, I don’t want to live like this again, I need freedom, I have this power, I want to go out.”

Before Zhao Shi could react, Fang Tongye walked around her and rushed out of the house, almost running out of the house. At this time, Fang Dachuan and Li Shi were still working in the field, and Zhao Shi watched Fang Dachuan helplessly. The colleague ran away from her again.In desperation, she chased after her by herself, but she lost her strength after running a few steps, squatting there panting non-stop.

Wen Yue had heard movement in the yard a long time ago, but Man'er had been making noises all the time, so she couldn't go out.After finally coaxing Man'er to sleep, Wen Yue hurried out and saw Mrs. Zhao sitting on the ground, wiping her tears silently.

"Grandma, what's the matter with you, get up, it's too cold on the ground." Wen Yue was startled, and hurriedly pulled Mrs. Zhao up.

But Mrs. Zhao didn't cooperate. Instead, she grabbed Wen Yue's hand and said, "Yue Niang, your father-in-law has run away again. You should go to Da Chuan and catch your father-in-law. Hurry up!"

Wen Yue didn't make a sound, but she still tried to pull Zhao Shi up, Zhao Shi suddenly became anxious, and shook Wen Yue's hand away and said: "You are going, why are you disobedient, go to Da Chuan Get your father-in-law back, even if you tie him up, tie him back for me."

"Grandma!" Wen Yue knelt down and looked directly at Zhao Shi and said, "I don't want Da Chuan to go find my father-in-law. It's broad daylight and the village is full of people. If the father-in-law insists on not going back and starts a conflict with Da Chuan, then Doesn’t the whole village know about our family’s family affairs? The villagers are already watching our family’s jokes. If something happens again, won’t it add to the after-dinner conversation for the villagers? Grandma, I don’t want to That's it. If the father-in-law runs away, he will always come back, just deal with it calmly, and wait for him to come back to talk about everything, can't you? "

"Yueniang!" Mrs. Zhao didn't expect Yueniang to reject her request, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, "How can you say that? If you let your father-in-law go to Guo's house, wouldn't it be embarrassing? Wouldn't it be embarrassing for others? say?"

Wen Yue stood up, looked outside the door and said: "That said, they are just laughing at the father-in-law and Guo Liniang, and after all, women are always under more pressure in this kind of thing, and people will always be tolerant to men. Some. Therefore, even if the father-in-law went to find Guo Liniang, it would be nothing more than more topics for the villagers in the end, but if Da Chuan went there, there would definitely be a big fuss according to the father-in-law's personality, and everyone would not only see the father-in-law It's a joke."

Wen Yue squatted down again, "Grandma, Dachuan is my man, and I don't want him to be talked about because of his father-in-law's stupidity. You must know that if Dachuan does this, people who make sarcastic remarks will only grow more and more." There are many, and there will even be those who say that our Dachuan is not filial, which I cannot accept."

Mrs. Zhao stood up holding Wen Yue's hand, looked at Wen Yue hesitantly and said: "But now, your father-in-law is so out of tune, aren't we also being laughed at?"

"It's nothing to joke about. The most I can say is that my father-in-law is old and romantic. If we are in a hurry, we can also say that it is the father-in-law who was seduced by Guo Liniang. Grandma, my father-in-law's reputation is already bad, so don't make friends with everyone in the family. Is it okay?" Wen Yue looked at Zhao shi earnestly, she really didn't want Zhao shi to do anything to put Fang Dachuan in a dilemma for Fang Tongye, whether she was selfish or cold, she just didn't want to.

Mrs. Zhao rubbed her swollen head vigorously, sighed and said, "I know, Yueniang, don't worry, grandma won't let Dachuan get ahead. After I rest for a while, I will go find Guo Liniang by myself, and I will let you go." She is called a vixen and seduces men. She is not kind, so don't blame me for being unrighteous. If she doesn't hook up with your father-in-law like that, your father-in-law can't do it. "

Mrs. Zhao's behavior is more or less a way of venting anger. As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs. If Fang Tongye is really good, even if Guo Liniang has [-] tricks, she won't be able to get her easily.

But for Mrs. Zhao, even if Fang Tongye was wrong in every possible way, even if she knew in her heart that it was not Guo Liniang's fault alone, as a mother, it is understandable to reflexively protect her son.As Wen Yue, who is also a mother, she is also understandable. After all, in the face of blood relationship, the right and wrong of things will not be ranked first.

When Fang Dachuan came back from the field at noon, Wen Yue whispered to him what happened in the morning, and conveyed her meaning to him clearly.After pondering for a while, Da Chuan went into the house to visit Mrs. Zhao, who had been bedridden since Fang Tongye ran away, and he turned around and came out after not staying for long.

Because of the help of cattle this year, plowing has become much easier. Fang Dachuan can also come back to take a rest while it is hot at noon. Then he gave Da Chuan Sheng soup and said, "Grandma told you?"

"Yeah." Fang Dachuan nodded, swallowed the food in his mouth and said: "I told my grandma, you did the right thing, even if I was at home, I wouldn't chase after him, even if someone else laughed at him It's better to take us by the way than to treat our whole family as a joke in the village. There is no such thing as the best of both worlds. If you have to choose, it should be the lesser of two evils. I think the same as you, even if you let Others laugh at him for being old and disrespectful, and I don't want to make others think that our family is a mess because of him."

Speaking of this, he smiled wryly and looked at Wen Yue guiltily and said, "Actually, this is just self-deception. Those who should laugh have already laughed."

Seeing Fang Dachuan frowning and looking at her with guilt all the time, Wen Yue said distressedly: "Don't be like this, who asked us to have such a father? It's the fault, he has read books for these years, books He didn't learn the essence of the book at all, but he learned a lot of the dross of the scholar, and when he was old, he still wanted to be more attractive, and he still wanted to spend a lot of time, because he read too many picture books."

Guo Liniang stretched out her head to look out of the window again, but there was still no one on the path outside the door, and her disappointment became even stronger.Xiao Erfeng casually threw the melon seeds in his hand on the ground, patted his clothes and said, "Sister Liniang, even Fang Tongye didn't come at this time, I don't think he can come today, so I won't wait, I will Go back first. If Fang Tongye comes, ask Lixue to call me."

She said that she was about to go out, Guo Liniang stared at the scattered melon seeds on the ground, and couldn't bear it any longer, and said: "Sister Xiao, can you stop throwing things on the ground next time, the melon seeds are very difficult to take care of. What have you done to my house?"

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm just used to it, thank you for your hard work, sister." Xiao Erfeng said it nicely, but there was no apology on his face, Guo Liniang hated her teeth itching, these days Xiao Erfeng was here with her, but he tormented her enough.

She has never seen such a shameless woman. When she enters other people's homes, she looks like her own. She rummages everywhere. She can't find anything that can be eaten. She eats all the snacks in the house. up.Just eat it, but this person is still dirty, throwing the peels of the fruits all over the place, it's just too sloppy.

Just wait, after she takes Fang Tongye down, she must stay away from this dead woman, and she will never try to enter her house again.Guo Liniang kept slandering in her heart here, and Xiao Erfeng who walked out the door was also full of dissatisfaction, little slut, what kind of person do you really think you are?It's just a shameless scumbag, who wants to make a good name for others.

How can there be such a beautiful thing in this world if you want to set up a torii after being a bitch?If it wasn't for the benefits that Guo Liniang promised, if it wasn't for the fact that the Zhao family and the Fang family wanted to take revenge, she would have thought she was willing to toss around like this every day.God bless this matter must be done, otherwise she has been tossing for nothing these days, how many things have been delayed!

She just walked forward with her head down, and before she walked out of the gate of Guo's house, she bumped into someone's body. She was in a bad mood without raising her head, and cursed: "Who, are you blind? I don't know what to look at." Lu, you hit someone to death, do you know that?"

"Sister-in-law, are you okay!"

An ordinary male voice resounded above Xiao Erfeng's head, this voice was very ordinary, even with rough panting in the voice.But to Xiao Erfeng's ears, it sounded as sweet as God's Lai: Fang Dachuan, I finally waited for you.

"Yueniang, there is something I want to discuss with you." Fang Dachuan woke up from his afternoon nap and seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness brought by Fang Tongye. To full children happy laughter.

"Give me the child, don't be too crazy, and don't sleep at night." Wen Yue took Man'er from Fang Dachuan's hand and asked, "What's the good thing?"

Fang Dachuan didn't hand over Man'er to Wen Yue, and sat in his arms with her in his arms. Man'er, who hadn't played enough, was very dishonest, and kept writhing in his arms.Fang Dachuan comforted her and said, "Okay, Man'er, I won't play today, and I will play with you tomorrow, be good."

Although Man'er, who just turned one year old, walked very firmly, she spoke very late. Up to now, she only said "Niao" occasionally, let alone "Dish".Wen Yue once worried about whether there was something wrong with Man'er speaking late, but after seeing that her hearing was normal, she felt a little relieved.Later Mrs. Zhao knew about her worry, and laughed at her, and proudly said that children who talk late are smart, so she should not think about it.

"It's not a big deal. Some land has been set aside in the village, and the price is not very high. Do you think we should buy some more? It's just spring plowing, and we can plant it after buying it." Fang Dachuan is very attached to the land, and like money Than, he always felt that there was something more at ease.

Wen Yue thought about it, and although she thought it was a good opportunity, she felt wrong when she thought of the ticking time bomb at home. "Da Chuan, I think it's better to forget it. In the current situation of our family, it may not be a good thing to have too many things exposed outside."

Although Wen Yue felt that she and Fang Dachuan were honest with each other, she still had some reservations when it came to Fang Tongye.It's not that Fang Dachuan is bad, but she always reminds herself that no matter how good Fang Dachuan is, no matter how dead Fang Tongye is, he is also his biological father.It's okay for Fang Dachuan to say that he is not good, but she'd better say less, so as not to make Fang Dachuan feel uncomfortable.The important thing is that Fang Dachuan already knows that she has a lot of dissatisfaction with the other party's peers, so she doesn't need to keep emphasizing it repeatedly, which will cause resentment instead.

Fang Dachuan was stunned for a moment, and then understood the meaning of Wen Yue's words. He was silent for a long time and finally said regretfully: "It's a pity, this is a good opportunity. I originally wanted to buy that Banpo land."

"It's okay, don't we have Zhuangzi? You will probably be busy when the autumn harvest arrives. How can you spare time to take care of the land?" Wen Yueman said indifferently. Anyway, she thought it over. As long as Fang Tongye is here for a day, Their purchase of land must be kept secret, including how much money the family has, and they cannot be known to their peers.

"It's a pity that we don't have much money left, so we need to keep it as a spare. Otherwise, I still want to buy a store in the town. Even if I don't do business, it's good to go out!" Buying a store has always been a wish of Wen Yue. Compared with Fang Dachuan and the others who were born and raised in ancient times, her farming-oriented thinking is not particularly deep-rooted.

Opened the cabinet and counted the silk fans and kang screens she embroidered, and she has saved a lot of them in the winter, and they should fetch a good price when they are taken to Shopkeeper Mo.With the addition of these funds, although it cannot completely solve the problem, it does not need to use too much reserve funds.

"When did you embroider so much?" Fang Dachuan saw that Wen Yue took out several pieces of material at once, and there were two pieces of material that were two feet long and wide. He flipped through them with his hands, and none of them had a simple pattern.

Wen Yue patted Fang Dachuan's hand lightly, and said angrily: "Take it away, your hands are so rough, if you scratch the material, it will be a waste of my work, these are all high-quality silk."

Knowing that he was reckless, Fang Dachuan quickly pulled out his hand, rubbed the bridge of his nose and said, "I forgot about it, isn't it bad?"

"It's okay." Wen Yue put these materials into the cabinet again, and turned around and said, "There are not many of these. Since winter, I embroider when I have free time. I didn't expect that I didn't feel pressure, but I embroidered quickly and the quality is still good. Let's take it to shopkeeper Mo when we have time, and see how much we can sell it for."

"Thanks for your hard work, Liniang! There is not much work in the field now. I think I will go to the mountains in the next two days and listen to the pheasants crowing all day. This should be a sign of a good harvest." Fang Dachuan is seen everywhere in the mountains these days. The pheasant and hare's eyes were slanderous, if it weren't for the fact that he had worked so much in the past two days, he would have gone into the mountains a long time ago.

If it were in modern times, Wen Yue would definitely dislike spring hunting. Spring is the breeding season, and hunting will definitely affect the survival of animals.But in this backward age, without guns and ammunition, without advanced hunting tools, if you go to the mountains for a few days, you will often get nothing.Therefore, at any time of the four seasons, when Fang Dachuan enters the mountains, Wen Yue will not feel a strong sense of repulsion.

"Take me there. I want to go into the mountains to pick some wild vegetables and come back to make wild vegetable dumplings." Speaking of going into the mountains, Wen Yue also became interested. Thinking of the green and tender wild vegetables on the mountains, wild vegetable buns quickly flashed in Wen Yue's mind , wild vegetable steamed dumplings, wild vegetable dumpling, and some meat dishes, huh, huh, it should whet your appetite.

Good food always makes people feel good. In such a day when there are always troubles happening, it is even more important to eat better.
