Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 173
After packing their bags, a group of people set off from the workshop in Dongwang Village. Apart from the reluctance of the people in the workshop, many relatives and friends came out to see them off.

It is better for the family to go out. The huts at home have already been entrusted to relatives, and the crops that have not been harvested in the field have also been settled. Yes, for the city, they are very yearning.

There was a burst of joy on his face.

It's just that the whole family is leaving. This poor family is broke, and he is reluctant to throw away everything. If it is not too far away and difficult to travel, he may even want to move there.

The young men on the road alone were different, each with his head down, and was a little impatient to be talked about by the old lady in front of him.

What's more, everyone else was watching, and his face was even more embarrassing. First, he muttered in a low voice, and when he saw someone laughing, he waved his hand, simply stopped listening, and jumped to the side.

Someone joked, "He's a good boy this time, don't blame him for marrying a daughter-in-law from the city!"

The woman already knew that this was a good thing, it was not so easy to ask for work, but this time it was different, she went out with a big village, knew what to do, and didn’t need to be an apprentice, she was paid as soon as she went out, but The parting was imminent, but I still couldn't help but want to shed tears, but when I was interrupted by this, I laughed by myself.

The boy who jumped to the side turned his head to look at his thin mother, turned his head away fiercely, and wiped it with his sleeve.

Di Yan stood here holding a horse.

Mrs. Li has been admonishing her for a while, but she is still a little uneasy.

When the team was about to leave, she had time to talk to her new sister-in-law.

Banxia looked at this scene, and couldn't tell what it was like, she didn't go out much, and wanted to tease Li Shi for treating Di Yan as her own son, but Li Shi moved away like this , Di Yan's side was a little empty.

He was a little cold, and even if the people in the village didn't regard him as a bandit, they still couldn't treat him as a person like them. They had their own things to say, but when he stood there alone, he felt a little desolate.

Unconsciously, Ban Xia moved to his side.

"Mu Jiujiu is coming back soon." It was Di Yan who spoke first.

The head of Pinellia was bit by bit, and I didn't care too much.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen outside, they are all familiar people, and I can watch anything." Di Yan said again.

It's all about the shop and the workshop, Ban Xia smiled, "You have to be careful, you have too many problems, you can feed yourself to death with a single meal..."

Ban Xia stopped talking, such an order made her feel very strange in her heart, she suddenly stopped talking and felt a little embarrassed, so she just smiled and didn't say anything more.

The strangeness only stayed in her heart for a moment, and then drifted away. She scratched her palm, inexplicably nervous, and secretly warned herself that it would be unlucky to say something dead before leaving.

Just finished mental construction, when I looked up, I saw Di Yan's eyes looking straight at her under the deep eyelids.

For no reason, her heart suddenly skipped two beats.

His lips moved, and he asked, "That...well, by the way, where did your soybeans come from?"

After speaking, stare back.

Di Yan grinned, "I planted it."

Ban Xia's complexion collapsed, it was obvious that he was fooling her, how could this guy farm land, she didn't even know what he was capable of, he would... fighting may be certain, at that time Dr. The people who went in were kicked out by him.

I also asked people in the village, and they all said that he lived with a lame "old bandit" and never interacted with the villagers, nor did he cause any trouble. When I grow up, I am often not in the village, and no one knows when and where I went.

Enigma.

It's late, and I have to hurry, so what I should say is similar.

This is going to go.

Di Yan got on his horse, "Wait for me to come back."

Seeing their slow moving steps, Mrs. Li couldn't help crying. Ban Xia didn't know how to comfort her, so she smiled to herself, "Look at me, it's a good thing to go out. I think your grandma said that When your grandfather is outside."

Ban Xia approached Li Shi, grabbed her arm, feeling at ease for no reason.

"What did you say to Brother Yan just now? Look at his grinning teeth. This kid finally knows how to smile."

Ban Xia shook her head, pretending not to hear.

Mrs. Li didn't delve into it, and was still a little immersed in her own emotions, "It's said that it's good to be at home for a thousand days, but it's difficult to go out. I don't know how long it will take to go to the city, and I will suffer a crime on the way. I hope there is no What happened..."

Ban Xia was moved by the old lady's worrying temper and was a little dumbfounded, so she said, "Mother, don't be afraid of this, look at Di Yan, he rides ahead and the bandits don't dare to step forward, maybe he can How about showing some filial piety!"

After finishing speaking, Ban Xia stopped, and felt that her heartbeat was not right, which felt a little strange, so she took a deep breath and stopped talking.

When Mrs. Li heard this, she was immediately amused, but said angrily, "No need to talk nonsense!"

Half a month later, news came that everyone in the city was fine, except that some people got tired and got a little sick when they first went there. Now the workshop is ready to start work.

This is Li's heart, which can be regarded as being put in his stomach.

The weather is getting hotter.

In a blink of an eye, when the rice is being harvested, the entire golden field, people look very small on it, sweating profusely, like silkworms gnawing, shrinking the golden color little by little, and the color of the soil is getting more and more.

Banxia's family also has a lot of fields, so busy, the yuba workshop in the city has already started to ship goods, and this end supplies the goods in the county, so it doesn't need to be too busy, and another group of people come in to learn how to make yuba, so there is no rush. Simply let everyone rest for a few days.

I went to help in the fields.

Everything seemed to be going on in an orderly manner. Looking out along the village road, the land was still there, and the place to build the house should also be prepared.

Not to mention the earth bricks need to be ground, the yard also needs bluestone bricks, and it takes a lot of work to build so many houses in the workshop. I am afraid that it will be too late after the autumn harvest.

Thinking of not having to listen to Su Qian's scolding anymore, Ban Xia felt more at ease.

Su Youli is a busy person, Li Shi laughed at him several times, even though he was a hard worker, he always smiled cheerfully, but building a house was a big deal, and he couldn't delay it, that's why he didn't go to the field.

Yuanlei was still too young, so Su Youyi didn't say anything, he followed Su Youli in and out, hired people to make blanks, looked at the layout of the yard, and started planning one by one.

The rain was violent and windy, and a torrential rain fell heartily, and the air was filled with the smell of mud. The dirt road above the village road became muddy, and the yellow muddy water flowed down everywhere.

It's rare that the whole family is stuck in the house and can't get out.

Mrs. Li discussed with Mrs. Qiu, taking advantage of the rare free time, he simply made some snacks.

Qiu's is very good at making hair cakes. They have been fermented with wine and medicine, steamed with brown sugar, sour, sweet and chewy.Mrs. Li doesn't know how to do this, but she knows how to make peanut candy.

As soon as he started, talking and laughing, the workshop started to move, Gu Ya'er held his hands and waited eagerly for the first pot to come out.

Mint and Banxia were peeling peanuts and talking gossip.

Seeing Gu Ya'er's appearance, Mint spoke quickly, "Did Gu Ya'er write big characters? You are going to cry again when you come back from Yuanchen."

There is a reason here, Gu Ya'er has always felt that she is an older sister, and she has to take care of Yuan Chen, and she will also meet Yuan Chen, Yuan Chen didn't buy paper and ink last time, and she brought it in to find Pinellia.

Gu Ya'er is a fine person, she is so strong at that point, she doesn't have much thought when she is messed up by delicious, fun and good-looking things, and her reading skills are at a loss, no matter what anyone says, it doesn't work, she insists on telling her.

Last time I was stunned and cried.

Mint is intentional, which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted.

Ban Xia raised her eyebrows, looking like Mint couldn't succeed.

As expected, Gu Ya'er looked at Bohe pitifully, "Sister Bohe, when Huiniang comes out of the pot, I'll bring it to you first, ah! I already know a lot of words, you won't tell Yuan Chen. "

"I'll tell uncle." Yaya poked her head over there.

Wu Mei entered the door with a slight smile.

Mrs. Li greeted again at the other end, unable to remove her hand, Wu Mei went over to help light the fire.

Yaya's milky voice made them laugh.

Gu Ya'er snorted, pinched Yaya's face, "Kids, what do you know, Auntie is too lazy to tell you."

That's it for adults.

The cake was steamed for several baskets, and the peanut candy had to be cut into pieces while it was still hot. Except for Gu Ya'er, who had a sharp eye and quick hands, no one would really rush to eat it.

It was rare to have a rest when it rained, so Mrs. Li and Mrs. Qiu had prepared enough, first sent a cage to the yard over there, and after a while, Mrs. Zhou came over, pinching her teeth and saying, "Sister-in-law three is having a really good day. , everyone outside gave it away, so many people at home... You know that mother likes to eat this, and there was almost no fight at the other end."

It is disgusting to send less.

Mrs. Li has never treated her this kind of leisurely.

It was Ban Xia who smiled, "Fourth Aunt's words are a bit funny, Yuan Lei is also here, and there are not many children at the other end, who can fight with a piece of cake?"

Zhou sneered and went out.

Mint curled her lips and snorted.

After a while, Su Youwen came over here with a celadon bowl in his hand, "Didn't it mean that my niece and son-in-law disappeared when he came back? I still want to talk to him about the poem I wrote last time."

Wu Liangping went to school, and it was Su Youwen who felt that it was rare for his family to be able to communicate with each other. Whenever he came over, he could talk for hours, and even thought about talking at night by candlelight. Come, I'm afraid I will avoid it.

Yaya is naive, doesn't know anything, sees her uncle looking for her father.

He said, "Mother and grandma quarreled, and they all scolded my mother for not being a good person. I will come back with my mother, and I don't want them anymore."

As soon as these words came out, the voice stopped.

It turns out that when the mother and daughter came back, there was such a thing.

Yaya didn't know what she said wrong, seeing them like this made her a little scared.

Ban Xia and the others quickly smiled, indicating that she was fine, and went to see what was in Su Youwen's bowl.
