Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Ruin and Withering

Changping Village.

Early in the morning, the north wind was still blowing, and the wind was still mixed with snow particles. Although each one was only the size of a mung bean, it melted after falling in the palm of the hand, but it also indicated that the day was getting colder and colder. It's going to be freezing cold soon.

Xiaojie's father borrowed a carriage from Yang Huazhong's family. Although there was a layer of warm cushions in the carriage, Da Sun, who said that it was useless to raise a daughter, still carried a quilt from home and spread it in the carriage.

When Xiaojie sat in the carriage, Mrs. Dasun stuffed a small copper stove for warming hands into her hand, and said angrily: "You can rest assured that Yan'er is here with us. , do what you should do, take care of yourself in the cold, and don't miss Yan'er."

Xiaojie looked at the mother with a knife mouth and a bean curd heart, her eyes were red, "Mother, Yan'er is just too much work for you..."

"This is nonsense. Yan'er is my granddaughter. What do you say about those things? Let's go quickly. When the snow falls, I don't even have to go if I want to!"

After the voice fell, Da Sun lowered the curtain of the carriage heavily, and the sound of footsteps went to the front of the car, followed by the voice of telling Xiao Jie's father: "Slow down on the road, don't worry."

Xiaojie nodded: "Don't worry, I'll come back after I deliver Xiaojie, you should go back to the room quickly, Yan'er is still sleeping, and there will be no one around when she wakes up."

Da Sun nodded, turned around and entered the courtyard door, and slammed the courtyard door shut with a creak.

In the carriage, Xiaojie raised the curtain and saw her mother's actions. Feeling guilty, she could only smile wryly.

She knew what her mother was angry about, and what her mother was fussing about.

She is also a mother herself, and from the standpoint of a mother, if Yan'er meets such a husband who deceived her feelings in the future, she will be hurt badly, and in the end Yan'er has to go back to her husband's house to take care of her illness when the husband is sick. Then she, a mother, would also be annoyed at her daughter's failure to live up to expectations, and couldn't let go of that man.

However, from the standpoint of his wife, Zhang Ban is her married person. No matter how Zhang Ban wrote to that woman a while ago, at least in the past, she and Zhang Ban also decided to do it because of their mutual understanding and mutual affection. husband and wife.

Husband and wife for one night and one hundred days of kindness, people are all about affection, and it doesn't mean that they can break it up just by saying it.

From Yan'er's standpoint, the seriously ill man is her father after all.

Xiaojie doesn't want Yan'er to lose her father before she turns one year old.

If you have a father, it doesn't matter whether that father is a very promising person or not. At least you have a father. When you are being bullied, there will always be a man standing behind you without hesitation. No matter how he messes around outside, After all, he is sincere to his daughter.

The best example here is Yang Huaming, the fourth uncle of the old Yang family. No matter how confused Yang Huaming was at the beginning, his three daughters were raised by him with money.

Even Yang Ruohe, who was the most ignorant at the time and was scolded by everyone, was raised by Yang Huaming, and her natal family could shelter her from the wind and rain.

Therefore, Zhang Ban cannot die, and Yan'er cannot live without her father.

She didn't want to be a widow herself, nor did she think about remarrying.

No matter how good the remarried man is, it is impossible for him to treat Yan'er like Zhang Ban.

As for reuniting with Zhang Ban, she couldn't make up her mind. In short, she just wanted to help Zhang Ban overcome the illness and survive first when she went to Zhang's house.

While she was thinking wildly, the carriage staggered into Qingshui Town and drove straight towards Zhang's house.

The Zhang family is not in the center of the street, but on the side of a big road next to the town. This place is used to open a shop, but the location is actually not very good.

But fortunately, the shops opened by the Zhang family are not those that are closely related to basic necessities of life. The Zhang family sells farm tools.

The main road at the gate is a road leading from the town to several nearby villages, and the villagers on this side of the town have to pass in front of the Zhangjiapu if they want to go to the town to go to the market.

Therefore, the farm tools business of Zhang's family is still well managed. In addition, Zhang Ban has the fame of raising people, and many villagers in nearby villages put their fields under the name of Zhang's family in order to achieve the purpose of reducing taxes.

Naturally, during the holidays, it is necessary to give something to the Zhang family to supplement the family.

In addition, the government also subsidizes Juren. Every quarter, they can go to the gate of the Yamen to receive a certain amount of rice grains, as well as cash converted from pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

Furthermore, Zhang Ban himself is teaching in the school in the town, there are monthly rules, and the filial piety of the parents of the students.

With such several channels put together, Zhang's family can be considered a family that is well-off in the town.

It's just that something happened to Zhang's family during this period, Zhang Ban was seriously ill, the elders of Zhang's family were busy taking care of their only son, and the business in the shop was not in the mood to take care of it, and it was about to close down.

Naturally, there is no income from the school. The Zhang family has been relying on their previous savings. They hired nearby doctors for Zhang Ban. Madara is still not well.

Just in these two days, the north wind was raging and the temperature was suddenly cold. Zhang's mother was worried that Zhang Ban would be frozen, so she lit a pot of charcoal fire in his room with the doors and windows closed.

Zhang Ban fell into a coma, but fortunately he was discovered in time, and later he opened the window to breathe, took away the charcoal fire, and finally snatched Zhang Ban back from the ghost gate after a lot of tossing.

But the complexion of the whole person is getting worse and worse. Just last night, Zhang Ban coughed up blood all over the place, and even the doctor shook his head, saying that the situation is likely to be that there is no cure for it. thing.

Zhang Banniang was paralyzed to the ground at that time, and Zhang's father was also helpless.

So at this moment, when Xiaojie got off the station at the gate of Zhang's house, she saw that the door and window in front of her were closed tightly, the fallen leaves in the courtyard were piled up all over the ground but no one cleaned it, the chickens were clucking in the coop and no one cared about it, and a section of the bamboo pole for drying clothes fell off. When she reached the ground, there was no one to help her, everything was decayed everywhere, Xiaojie felt as if she had gone to the wrong place.

And the quacking of a few jackdaws on the eaves pulled her back to her senses.

An aunt from the neighbor's house just went out to wash vegetables. Seeing Xiaojie standing in front of Zhang's house, the aunt hurried over to say hello to Xiaojie.

"Xiaojie, you're back. I heard that you had a quarrel with Zhang Ban and went back to your mother's house. You are right to come back this time. Zhang Ban is about to die. He vomited blood last night. Your father-in-law went to the town early in the morning to make a coffin. I have ordered a coffin in the shop, so hurry up and see him for the last time, if you have anything to say about the couple, say it as soon as possible..."

Xiaojie couldn't hear what the aunt said behind her. She staggered forward and pushed open the door. There was no one in the main room, and everything was dilapidated. She staggered to the backyard.

There is a sunny room in the backyard, the door and window are still pasted with the word "囍" when the two got married, but after a year of wind and rain, the bright red color of the word "囍" has long since receded and become bleak. Light.

But during the gluey time after getting married, he would draw her eyebrows, and he would always bring her two bunches of delicious snacks after school...

Those beautiful past scenes vividly appeared in her mind, making her teary and unable to see.

"Zhang Ban, Zhang Ban..." Xiaojie called out, staggered, and pushed open the door of the wedding room...
