Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 62 Getting Better and Better (1)
For the He family's approach, Li Zhu didn't understand at first.Later, I understood what Aunt Li said to Yang Laoshi.

It's just that He Qian felt that Yang Lianhua was too embarrassing, and He Renyi himself lost interest in Yang Lianhua after getting Yang Lianhua's body. On the contrary, he thought Yang Yun was not bad.

"There is no one in this family that is good. Ah Mo is right, thanks to finding out in advance, this is God helping us, you said that you will only find out if you marry, and you still vomit to death?"

Besides, the Zhu family and the He family had a small fight for two days and a big fight for three days.The Zhu family wanted more gifts. Originally, the He family was in a good family, but the He family felt that it would be good for them to marry Yang Lianhua, so why would they still offer a gift?After going on like this for more than [-] days, Mrs. Zhu finally gave in completely, and hurriedly married off her daughter, without asking for a betrothal gift, and of course there was no dowry.The villagers quickly commented that Yang Lianhua married with a calf.

This incident made everyone Yang unable to hold their heads up for a long time. Mrs. Zhu hid in the house when she had nothing to do, and she didn't hang around to show off like before.Aunt Li's house was very clean for a while.

Aunt Li got up early every day to go to the county to sell braised pork, accompanied by Yang Yun and Li Zhu in turn.Yang Laoshi suspended the short-term work in Qian's mansion and went to a neighboring county to repair the embankment.Naturally, Yang Mo's corvee was replaced with money.

Li Zhu only has one or two ounces of Lingquan water every day, and she uses some of it for stewed meat and some of it in her own water tank.The effect of Lingquan does not seem to be as magical as she said in the novels she read in the past. Drinking it can transform a person.However, it does make a person healthier physically and mentally.Now that Yang Mo's body has recovered, besides reading every day, he also copies books to help the villagers write letters, and also helps with work when he is free.

Although Yang Mo was a scholar, Aunt Li and Yang Laoshi never spoiled him, and they had to do what they had to do.In the words of Aunt Li, don't read the book well, and you won't even be able to be a human being.Thinking about Li Ji's poor family, Li Zhu didn't say anything. Anyway, whoever sows what causes will reap what he wants, so what's the matter with her?
Every time when Li Zhu was at home, Aunt Li and Yang Yun would try their best to fill up the water tank in advance and do heavy work well.Because Yang Mo's body still needs to rest, he can't help with heavy work.Li Zhu only needs to put ducks at home, feed chickens, cook and so on.

The chickens and ducks of the Yang family are all bigger than others. Aunt Li looked very pleased with herself, and before leaving, she instructed: "Xiao Zhu, don't let the ducks go to the reed marsh at the south end, where the river fork is too big." There are many ducks, and some ducks can’t come back after running in.”

Li Zhu knew about the reed marsh, a vast expanse of water that could not be seen at a glance.There are patches of reeds inside, and lotus flowers bloom in summer.There are many small fish and shrimps in the water, and ducks love to eat them.But most people dare not drive the ducks there, because they are afraid that the ducks will never return.

However, it is said that there are local people who specialize in duck herding. They hold small boats and wear big bamboo hats. There are food and water on the boat. They get up early and return late, and they stay in the water all day.

Aunt Li and Yang Yun carried the burden and left, while Yang Mo was copying books in the main room.Li Zhu drove the ducks to the entrance of the village.When I came to the river, many women were washing clothes there.Like Lijia Village, it is also a place of gossip.

The people in the Yangjiaji were not very familiar with Li Zhu, so when they saw her, they would inevitably discuss in a low voice.

"This is Aunt Li's niece, she is much prettier than when she first came here."

"Well, I'm fatter, and my complexion is better."

"I heard it wasn't that broom star?"

"Shh, be careful people overhear you."
