The herbal medicine of peasant doctors and women fills the garden

Chapter 352
Yao Shanbao stood up, fixed his eyes on the paper bag in the boy's hand, and called out in a low voice, "Brother Qingwen." Fu lowered his head again, squeezed his right hand with his left hand, and did not speak again.

The young man was Zhuo Qingwen, the third son of the headman of this Lianshui village. He studied in the county academy and could only go home every half a month.

Seeing that sister Shanbao suddenly lowered his head and stopped talking, Zhuo Qingwen frowned and walked over, asking, "What's the matter? Brother brought you something delicious, why aren't you happy?" Opening the paper bag, there were three pieces neatly placed inside. The plum blossom cake was still hot, emitting heat, "Eat it now, lest your two older sisters see you, and you won't be able to eat it."

He was about to finish speaking when Yao He came out of the house. Seeing Mr. Zhuo San coming, he quickly greeted him with a smile on his face and said, "Yo, Mr. Zhuo San, are you here?" The daughter pushed aside, looked at the plum blossom cake in his hand, and smiled even brighter, "Yo, Mr. Zhuo San is just being polite. He came to our house as a guest, why did you bring a gift?" Coming over, he turned his head and shouted into the room, "Jun Bao, Lian Bao, come out quickly, the third son of the Zhuo family has brought you delicious food."

As soon as the words fell, two little girls walked out of the room.

The older one was only about twelve, and the little girl was already stretched out. She was wearing a pink shirt, and she looked cute and cute.

The younger one was about ten years old, she walked up to Zhuo Qingwen in a few steps, and said with a smile: "Brother Qingwen, did you bring something delicious for Lianbao again?"

Zhuo Qingwen nodded in embarrassment and said: "Well, I just came back from the academy and passed by the pastry shop. I remembered that you guys like plum cakes, so I brought some here." He pointed to Yao He's hands, and they were all here. .

Yao Lianbao took the pastry from his mother, wrinkled his nose and said, "Brother Qingwen, you remember wrongly, Lianbao's favorite is Yunpian cake. This plum cake is the third sister's favorite." He stared at Yao Shanbao who was standing on the side in a daze, full of provocation.

Zhuo Qingwen smiled gently and said, "Really? If that's the case, next time I'll bring you Yunpian Cake. Since this is the third sister's favorite, let's leave it to the eldest sister and the third sister."

How could Yao Lianbao agree?He hugged her, tilted his head and smiled coquettishly: "Brother Qingwen, as long as you bring Lianbao, you will love to eat it." Then he said, "Mother, brother Qingwen brought some delicious food for Lianbao." Yes, why don't you cook?"

Yao's family was not well off, and it was the busy season of autumn, this Yao He family originally planned to go to the fields to harvest rice.But now that there is a distinguished guest at home, why can't the distinguished guest be hungry?Then he looked at his little daughter and said: "Shanbao, your father is in the field, you go and help your father."

Yao Shanbao lowered his head, not daring to look up at his mother, so he said: "Daughter, let's go now."

Zhuo Qingwen was really angry that Yao He's mother was so eccentric, but he was a scholar after all, so he would not lose his temper in front of his elders, so he said, "Auntie, my nephew will be back soon. I haven't had time to go home yet. Presumably my parents are also working in the fields, so my nephew will stop bothering me and leave."

Yao Lianbao reached out to grab Zhuo Qingwen and said, "Brother Qingwen, it's okay if you stay with me for dinner."

Zhuo Qingwen politely refused: "No need, I have to go home to help my parents cut rice." After a pause, he hinted, "If I don't go home to help with work, it will be dark at night My parents can't finish it." Qingrun's eyes flicked across Yao Shanbao's face, and he squinted and smiled, "Third sister, I remember you said last time that you like the lotus in my lotus pond, even though the lotus is in bloom now. Yes, but it will still open next year, and then I invite you three sisters to watch it."

Yao Shanbao kept her head down and said nothing, her face was slightly hot, until Zhuo Qingwen left, she still stood there in a daze.

Next to him, Yao Lianbao hugged the plum cake, slapped his sister on the head, and said fiercely, "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and go to work. I think you don't want to eat tonight."

The Yao family has a few mu of land, and Yao's father has limited legs and feet. The eldest daughter and the second daughter of the Yao family can't get their hands in the mud. Only these three daughters often go to work with their parents.

Yao's mother didn't like the third daughter, because she originally thought that this birth would give birth to a son. When she was about to give birth, everyone said it was a son.But who knew, when she was born, she would be a daughter again.She was scolded by her mother-in-law for not being able to have a son, and was looked down upon by her sister-in-law, and she was never able to conceive, so she spread all these grievances on her youngest daughter, who was often beaten every few days.

As long as something is not pleasing to the eye, she can grab her little daughter and beat her up.

Yao Shanbao's body was often wounded, but she never groaned, and just lowered her head silently to help her parents with their work.

During the day, Zhuo Qingwen left Yao Shanbao a secret signal, and before dark, he went to his lotus pond early.

Yao Shanbao helped his parents with work for another day. When he got home, his mother and two sisters were setting the table and serving food, and she was ordered to boil the bath water.

Yao Shanbao stretched out her hands to touch her hungry stomach, stared at the fried wild vegetables on the table, her stomach growled, but she didn't dare to disobey her mother's wishes.Because she knew that as long as she said no, it would definitely be another good beating.

"What are you still doing?" Yao He glared at her daughter fiercely, seeing her daughter kept looking at the dishes on the table, she was so angry that she raised her hand to hit her, but Father Yao hugged her hand.

Father Yao couldn't stand it anymore: "My daughter has been working for a day, why don't you let me eat? If you want her to boil water, at least she has to fill her stomach before going."

Yao He slapped the table with a slap, his eyes were wide open, like a tigress: "She is a spoiled brat, she deserves to eat at the table?" Pointing at Father Yao's nose, he scolded, "What the hell are you doing?" What a dead man, I haven’t lived a good day since I married you. It’s okay if you want anything, I just live with you because you are honest, but you are good, now you have grown up? Even I said Do you dare not listen to what I said? Hey, it’s terrible..." Father Yao covered his mouth.

"Okay, okay, don't make noise, I'll ask Shanbao to boil the water." Father Yao was sallow and thin, and a 40-year-old looks like he's 50. He only looked at his daughter, and before he could speak, Yao Shanbao Come into the kitchen.

Here the family is eating, and in the kitchen over there, Yao Shanbao is lighting a fire to boil water.

After the water was boiled, the family over there had finished their meals, and the plates on the table were cleaner than their faces, so they had nothing left.

Yao Shanbao touched his belly, his eyes were dizzy from hunger, and he almost passed out.She suddenly remembered that brother Qingwen asked her to meet at the lotus pond.

When Yao Shanbao arrived, Zhuo Qingwen had been waiting for a long time, and he saw a small figure staggering towards him not far away.
