take a wife to support the family

Chapter 31

At night, Lily and Lamei slept together, the two sisters huddled together in a broken quilt.All day long, Lamei was only a little bit angry at this time, and quietly asked her sister: "Is brother-in-law treating you well?"

"Your brother-in-law is a good man." Although he doesn't look like a good man...

Lamei whispered: "Second sister said he is not a good person, if you marry him, I am really afraid that you will be beaten to death."

Lily sighed: "I'm lucky. You and Erniu won't be as foolish as I am in the future and just be sold to your mother. You must keep your eyes open."

"Being a man should not be a daughter, and the bitterness and happiness of a hundred years will be left to others." Marriage blindly and dumbly according to the will of the parents, and what kind of people you can meet depends on luck.If she hadn't been lucky enough to meet Song Haonian, how would this marriage of marrying a daughter but actually selling her be different from human trafficking?
She was in the countryside in her previous life, and her peers who did not go to college, at the age of 21, held a child with two tubes of snot, wearing clothes so wide that no curve could be seen, unkempt, with numb expressions, and looked more Her mother is older.

It was the 21st century, and one can imagine what the countryside was like hundreds of years ago.

When the eldest sister Da Lala said such words, Lamei blushed with shame, but she didn't dare to refute. After a long silence, she whispered: "Sister, why have you become so powerful?"

Among the three sisters in the family, except for the second girl who is smart and pungent, the eldest girl is as timid and dull as the third girl. The eldest girl has become different from before, and the third girl feels as if she has been left alone.

"I'm already married, and if I can't stand up on my own, others will look down on me and come to bully me." Lily said this, and San Niu felt better. Then she thought that this is not bad for the eldest sister, at least stop her mother from scolding her father and mother. she.

The two sisters chatted in the middle of the night, and Mrs. Zhu coughed heavily outside: "Still sleeping!"

Several daughters did not have their own rooms, so there was another cramped compartment in the bedroom of Carpenter Li and Mrs. Zhu, and the three daughters squeezed into it.Whenever the inside talked, it could always be heard outside, and the two of them quickly shut up and fell asleep quickly.

Early the next morning, Lily and Lamei got up together. The air in the mountains was cooler than in the town. She took a deep breath, with a pleasant smile on her face, which made the whole family a little dazed.

Lily was going back to the town after breakfast, and Mrs. Zhu couldn't wish more: "You debt collector, hurry up, and don't come back later!"

Li bamboo craftsman called Qingsong: "You and your third sister are going to see off your elder sister."

Daughters who have never been married have to return home for three dynasties, and their natal family must prepare some food for the newlyweds.

The eldest daughter of his family married to the town, her mother stole money from her son-in-law, and her family was ashamed to see her son-in-law. This was the first time the eldest daughter came back after a few months of marriage.But don't talk about preparing things at home, even if she eats a meal, her mother will still gossip, Carpenter Li sighs, blaming himself for being useless.

He was very happy to be able to go out to play with Qingsong, and he agreed loudly, and jumped into the kitchen to fill the basket with grain for his elder sister. Lamei was also relieved to be able to leave Zhu's shadow for a while.

Mrs. Zhu was more relaxed about Qingsong's big hands and feet, and said unhappily: "Everyone is going to play tricks, who will do the work at home?"

Lily smiled and said: "Mother, it's rare for me to see Sanniu and Qingsong once, so what's the point of saying more?" She insisted that Qingsong and Lamei go see her off, but Mrs. Zhu couldn't resist, so she had to agree reluctantly.

Lily told Carpenter Li: "Father, I want the small basket urgently, so you can take care of it. Send it to the town when it's done, or ask someone to bring me a message, and I'll come back and pick it up myself."

Carpenter Li agreed, and watched the two daughters and one go out, and turned around to make bamboo baskets for the eldest daughter under Zhu's knife-like gaze.

Going down the mountain is easier than climbing it. Wintersweet and green pine were delivered halfway, and Lily let them go back.It would be cheaper for her to ask her younger siblings to go home, but it would be a long way for them to go back to the mountains, so it would be better to call them back halfway.

She additionally told Lamei: "If your mother hits you, you should hide first, and then go home after her anger subsides." She also said to Qingsong, "Don't be silly and playful, protect your third sister, and when you turn around, the eldest sister will reward you." you."

Both children looked at her with bright eyes and nodded heavily.It seems that the big girl is not without prestige when she is the big sister, as long as she shows the momentum of the big sister, the two younger ones are very obedient.

As usual, when I go home, I still tell Li Caifeng that I'm back, and then I clean up the house and outside, and sprinkle a handful of chaff on the chickens.Today, instead of going to Xiaodonggou to pick flowers, Lily found out the half-made insole and continued to embroider.

She has finished embroidering the plum blossoms, and most of the magpies are finished, only some details need to be modified.Sometimes the needlework becomes astringent, but Lily holds up the needle and sips it on her head, and it becomes smooth again.

Suddenly the hen yelled "cluck, cluck, cluck". Lily was afraid that something might happen to them again, so she hurried to see it.

During the day, the doors of the chicken coops are open, and the chickens are usually outside, and the doors are only closed at night when they are all on the shelves.Now Lily saw a hen sitting in the coop, stretching her neck and screaming.

Her heart moved, she stepped forward and reached under the belly to touch it, her hand was warm, it was indeed an egg!
To reward the chickens that lay eggs, Lily didn't bother to look closely at the eggs, but first gave the hen a handful of rice husks mixed with millet, and the hen left the coop to peck for food. the first egg.

The egg was warm, and there were some stains on the shell, but Lily didn't care, and looked at it like a rare treasure.It is smaller than normal eggs, and the eggshell is still very thin. This is the case when a hen lays eggs for the first time. Some hens will also lay soft eggs. Add some snail shells, eggshells and other things. Get back to normal.

And once a hen starts laying eggs, other hens will start laying eggs one after another.In the countryside, a few hens that can only lay eggs are the minimum guarantee of life. No matter how bad Lily is in the future, she will not be as hungry as before.

She can keep these eggs for herself, or sell them at the market for food, and it is also very face-saving to save them.

Lily seemed to have a happy event, humming a ditty and hiding the egg in the chaff, so happy that she wanted to announce the good news to the whole world!
She most wanted to share the good news with Song Haonian, but these days it was very inconvenient to exchange information, and most ordinary people couldn't write, even if they spoke verbally, it was inconvenient to travel thousands of miles.

So when a person goes out, most of the time he never hears from him, and sometimes he doesn’t come back for three to five years.Therefore, the ancients did not go out easily, and regarded traveling far away from home as a fear of the road.

Lily wouldn't rush to get someone to write a letter to Song Haonian because of the hen laying eggs. She was happy for a while, and finally calmed down and continued to work.

Needlework is flying like flying, and she can't hide her good mood at all.
