Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 4272 Returning to the Village
Waking up in the morning, when the body is empty and needs energy supplement, such a large bowl of poached eggs with brown sugar and sesame seeds can be said to be really full of energy.

After eating and drinking enough, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang drove the carriage towards the county seat. The horses were also fed with fodder last night, full of strength.

So the twenty or thirty miles away will arrive in less than half an hour.

At this time, the sun had not yet risen, but it was already bright outside.

Although the streets of the county town didn't see the usual vendors who yelled and drank, there were more people.

In twos and threes, they are all people who come out to pay New Year's greetings with their families.

The man carried the child on his shoulders, and the woman followed with New Year's greetings in her arms, and she had to lead the other children with the other hand.

From the clothes of these people, we can judge the general economic situation of their families.

Most of the people who can survive in the county are those who have just met the food and clothing line in the county. The adults still wear old clothes, but the children are all wearing new clothes and new tiger-head hats.

Those few people in the county who are struggling below the food and clothing line may not be as poor as the village households during the Chinese New Year.

Farmers at least have a vegetable garden at home, and chickens can be raised in the backyard, but what about the county town?On the contrary, it is inconvenient.

This situation is placed in the Huaxia Kingdom in the 21st century, and this phenomenon also exists between urban and rural areas.

There are poor people in cities and rich people in rural areas.

The poor in the city go to the vegetable market to pick up vegetable leaves, go to the supermarket to use the air conditioner in summer, work a lot of temporary workers, can't pay the rent, water, electricity and gas, are forced to move around, and endure the landlord's rent increase year by year...

In the rural areas, those families with good conditions have built small buildings with two or three floors, and all kinds of modern household appliances are available.

There is a vegetable garden behind the village, and you can grow whatever you want to eat. There is a tricycle parked in the yard, and you can drive it to a nearby market town for breakfast in the morning, and go back to the supermarket.

Natural water has also been filled into every household, but the village women still like to go to the big pond at the entrance of the village to wash their clothes in small groups, chatting all over the world.

I live in commercial housing in the city, and I have lived face to face for ten years without knowing the other person's name or where they work.

In the countryside, big guys drop by, and when men and women get together, they make half-meat and half-vegetarian jokes...

Of course, these words are only aimed at the ordinary people, and the rich businessmen and dignitaries in the city are not in this category.

Because their circle of life is different from the circle of ordinary people, and their methods are also different.

Turning his thoughts, the carriage was driving on the spacious street of Wanghai County, and the more people went forward, the more pedestrians on the street became more and more.

From time to time, you will encounter other carriages on the road. In this era, those who can travel in a carriage are those who are from a good family, have status, or both.

Ordinary people rely on their feet to travel. Villagers use ox carts to bring their children to New Year's greetings. If they don't have an ox cart, they push a wheelbarrow...

So Yang Ruoqing was sitting in the carriage, looking out at the street scene through the car window, enjoying the envious eyes of passers-by, feeling a lot!
The speed of the carriage slowed down.

Yang Ruoqing was startled, and asked Luo Fengtang through the curtain, "What's the matter?"

"I saw the mother and daughter from yesterday again." Luo Fengtang said.

Yang Ruoqing immediately opened the curtain of the carriage and looked outside.

There is a crossroad in front of it, and this is also the most prosperous area of ​​Wanghai County. The shops open on this street are all those time-honored and big-name shops in Wanghai County.

Behind this street is a residential area, where all the powerful or rich people live in Wanghai County.

This place is not like those alleys and alleys where common people gather. They are all single-family large courtyards, with two entrances, three entrances and four entrances.

Therefore, most of the people who come and go here are rich people. When their carriages slowly turn out from the intersection, there will already be a wave of beggars and tramps gathered on the side of the road.

They swarmed over and gathered in front of the carriage, those with broken bowls stretched out their broken bowls, and those without broken bowls stretched out their dirty hands to beg for people sitting in the carriage.

"My lord, please do me a favor and give me a few rewards. You are a good person, and you will be rewarded. In the new year, you will definitely be promoted and made a fortune..."

These gentlemen and ladies sitting in the carriage also went out to visit relatives and friends on the first day of the new year.

Next to the carriage, a bunch of servants and servants were drinking and drinking.

Stopped by so many beggars for begging, and if they have a good temper, are in a good mood, and like to listen to auspicious words, they will ask the servants to reward each of these beggars with three or five Zier.

When encountering those who have a bad temper, they will immediately order the servants to drive these beggars away.

The beggars who were dispersed fled in all directions at that time, but they were reluctant to flee far away. When the grumpy adult left, they had to gather again to continue begging for money.

If the wives and ladies who catch up with them do meritorious deeds, they will escape to a bowl of hot porridge or two steamed buns of white flour to fill their stomachs!

So every year during the first lunar month, almost all the beggars and homeless people in Wanghai County gather at this intersection.

"In the past, I only heard about this phenomenon when the second brother and the eighth sister were chatting. I didn't believe it at the time. I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes this year."

Yang Ruoqing said, looking for that small figure in the crowd.

"Hey, it really is them!" Yang Ruoqing immediately found the little girl from yesterday among the crowd.

The little girl followed behind her mother, who held her tightly with one hand, and stretched a broken bowl towards the carriage with the other hand.

The beggars around squeezed their mother and daughter upside down, and everyone was pushing forward desperately, for the sake of those three melons and two dates.

What kind of demeanor, tolerance, it's all nonsense in such an occasion, it's the kingly way to save a few pennies and wait for the shop to open in a few days to buy buns and steamed buns.

In the chaos, Yang Ruoqing saw with her own eyes a male beggar pushing Erya's mother to the side, and another man bumped Erya's head with his elbow.

Erya's complexion changed at that moment, and she raised her hand to cover her head and cried in pain.

Her mother was still struggling at first, but the male beggar was struggling, and when she heard her daughter crying, she hurriedly turned around to look at her situation.

At this moment, the male beggar took advantage of the gap and seized the place of Er Ya's mother and daughter, and surrounded the front of the carriage to beg.

"Erya, what's the matter with you? Did you get hit?" The woman leaned down to look at Erya, and asked anxiously.

Erya cried, raised her little finger and pointed to a beggar in front of her: "That uncle hit my head and hurt, it hurts so much, mother..."

Erya Niang turned around and glanced at the beggar who hit her daughter, and turned around helplessly, she raised her hand and gently rubbed Erya's head.

"Mother rub it, don't cry, don't cry..."
