The splendid business map of the peasant girl

Chapter 5

"Mother, there's no need to take this bowl. Let's just carry the jade...corn pancakes over there." Speaking some lame dialect, Mo Shiyao slowly shook his head.In Mo Shiyao's memory, this broken porcelain bowl turned out to be her dowry when she married into the owner's family. Mo Shiyao's father seemed to value it very much, but he never mentioned the reason.

"This is your dowry. It's great to bring this bowl when I go home tomorrow to visit my relatives. Besides, I can't find one of this white porcelain bowl in the whole village. It's expensive. Take it back to my mother's house." It's better." Unexpectedly, Liu Shi, who never likes to refute, shook her head, and spoke with some earnestness.

Hearing this, Doomsday Yao couldn't help but twitched her cheeks, the corners of her mouth curled up and down, and the feeling of dumbfounding began to haunt her again.It's just such a porcelain bowl with a missing mouth that looks like gold, and the whole village can't find a second one. I can only cry and laugh except speechless.But this unknown superficial dynasty must have not popularized white porcelain, otherwise, how could it be so said by Liu that there is nothing in the sky?
Mrs. Liu packed the things and put them in the bamboo basket, turned around and wanted to go back to the house, but suddenly stopped, took out a rag from her pocket as if thinking of something, and said: "By the way, Yaoyao, take your new clothes Come out, my mother will sew for you, don't waste such a good fabric."

He took out a dark blue coarse cloth dress from the room, and watched Liu sew the rag with the golden mark onto the clothes one by one, Mo Shiyao frowned again, for some reason, perhaps it was out of intuition , She always had the urge to stop Liu Shi.

Heaving a sigh of relief, he went to the house and took out the herbs that he hadn't had time to take care of before, and then found the medicine pestle in the house and began to pound them.

The cool wind in the late autumn night blows in through the papered window panes, making people shiver uncontrollably, gritted their teeth and cursed God, and began to turn their heads, thinking about how to get through this difficult situation. The coming winter.

The next morning, before dawn, Doomsday Yao woke up habitually.Her life as a pharmacist in the past few years had completely shaped her biological clock. Coupled with the hard bed board and rough straw under her body, it was impossible for her to take a good rest even if she wanted to.

Pulling open the straw mat curtain in the kitchen, Liu's busy figure appeared in front of him.Seeing her get up, Mrs. Liu smiled, wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, and picked up a bowl of vegetable soup from the pot.

"Are you awake? Breakfast will be ready soon, let's sit outside."

"Mother, I won't have breakfast today, I'm going back now." Mo Shiyao rubbed his sore arm and said lightly.

"Why don't you eat?"

"I ate too much last night, you can eat by yourself." Turning around and walking out of the kitchen, he touched the wounds all over his body, thinking about walking back to Xiangbo Village, he couldn't help moaning in his heart.

Dong Chenghuan and Mo Zhichu will come here soon, and these wounds can't be delayed, so they have to go out to find some herbs while eating.And this sudden "learned" medical skill, of course, cannot be hidden from Mo Zhichu who watched Mo Shiyao grow up, so she has to dispel the suspicion of others step by step, and now swagger up the mountain to collect medicine and treat injuries Obviously not a wise approach.

After leaving the house, he came to yesterday's hillside, searched for the herbs he needed, and hid them in a hidden place. Only then did Doomsday Yao go to Liangbo Village according to the route he remembered, carrying a bamboo basket.

"Ah Fu, now your daughter is married, and your son is also married. It's not that I have to urge you to pay back the debt. Our family is really short of money recently. Look, do you want to calculate the amount first? "It was quite difficult to walk to Mo's house. As soon as Mo Shiyao stepped into the gate of her mother's fence, the helpless voice of Uncle Chen next door came clearly from the house.

"He, Uncle Chen, I understand your difficulties, but I can't afford any money these days, can you give me a few more days?" Mo Guangfu's tone was mixed with a strong sense of powerlessness, looking dry and old .

Doomsday Yao stood at the door and hesitated for a moment. Hearing Mo Guangfu's words, his heart skipped a beat. Before he had time to think, he walked straight into the door: "Father!"

"Yaoyao!" Mo Guangfu's eyelids twitched when he saw Rumor of Doomsday coming in, and hurriedly stood up from the stool.

"Hello, Uncle Chen." Nodding to the middle-aged man next to him, Mo Shiyao walked in familiarly and took a seat.

"Hey! Yaoyao came back so early?" The man called Uncle Chen seemed a little embarrassed, he rubbed his wrinkled hands involuntarily, and turned his head to look at Mo Guangfu, who was also unnatural, with an expression on his face. The look of helplessness became more and more intense.

Calmly, he put the basket covered in blue coarse cloth on the table, and Shi Shiyao sat aside quietly, but he didn't want to speak anymore.

"That Fu, I won't stay with your daughter when she comes back, come back another day!" As if making up his mind, Uncle Chen slapped his thigh heavily, got up and said to Mo Guangfu.

"He, Uncle Chen..."

Mo Guangfu stood up quickly, wanting to say something, Uncle Chen raised his hand to stop him from continuing, turned around and left.

"Uncle Chen, we will definitely pay off the debt my family owes you within half a month." Seeing Uncle Chen's figure about to step out of the door, Mo Shiyao took a deep breath and finally spoke.

"Yaoyao, you..."

"Father, sit down first." Frowning, he pulled the surprised Mo Guangfu to sit on the wooden stool, and Mo Shiyao sighed lightly.Now that she has become Mo Shiyao, then do what Mo Shiyao should do!
"Father, did you borrow the debt for my brother's marriage?"

"Hey! Why are you so clever, girl?" Mo Guangfu shook his head and looked at Doomsday Yao guiltily. She knew that he ruined Yaoyao's lifelong happiness in this way, she really didn't know what would happen!

"The matter has come to this point, I won't blame you, my brother must know it well, why do you bother to hide these things from us."

"Yaoyao, I'm sorry for you, let alone your mother!" Mo Guangfu choked up his voice, the dark eyes in his eyes made Shi Shiyao squint.Not only did she see guilt in it, but there was even a bit of weird...bitterness!
It seems that her mother has never appeared in Mo Shiyao's memory. Since childhood, Mo Guangfu has instilled in the Mo Shiyao brothers and sisters the idea that their mother has passed away, and when she is mentioned casually, it is an extremely understatement. In a word, never say much.

But there are countless gossips and gossips in the village, and the most heard one is that Mo Shiyao's mother left this Liangbo village after giving birth to Mo Shiyao because she couldn't bear the poverty, and never returned.

"Yaoyao, have you eaten yet? Yesterday, the old hen at home was sold for dozens of pennies, and I bought a few eggs. Daddy will make you a poached egg." Pulling back his drifting thoughts, Mo Guangfu smiled and turned his head to look at Doomsday Yao.
