Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 6874
Changping Village.

While eating tea eggs, there were occasional explosions of firecrackers from the Earth Temple in the south of the village.

Luo Baobao ate more and more anxiously, and urged Hongxiu at the same time: "Auntie, eat quickly, I will take you to the earth temple to watch the incense burning, adults and children will go, it is very lively."

Hongxiu was startled. In her conception, shouldn't five-color rice and various melon and fruit snacks be served in the clan ancestral hall on New Year's Eve, and then the clan leader will lead the clan to worship?
"Can anyone go to worship? Can I, a woman with a foreign surname, also go to visit?"

Out of curiosity, Hongxiu couldn't help asking.

In her memory, during the Chinese New Year at that time, the worship in the family was the business of men, and women were not allowed to enter the ancestral hall.

Even if she is a descendant like her, she can only follow her mother and stand at the entrance of the ancestral hall from a distance. It is the business of her father and younger brother to enter the ancestral hall.

She remembered that once, an ignorant younger sister who was a concubine in her uncle's house ran to the ancestral hall to watch the excitement, and even wiped one of the silver plates containing offerings.

After being found out by the patriarch, he blamed the incident on the fact that the aunt was the younger sister's aunt, not only locked up the younger sister for half a month, but also sold the younger sister's biological mother, the aunt, on the grounds that she had no way to teach the daughter.

Uncle was reluctant, but he couldn't keep it, because ancestor worship during the Chinese New Year was very particular in their family, and he couldn't be careless at all.

"Auntie, the customs here are different from yours in the capital, so we don't have those gossips. Anyone who has eyes can see it!"

Hong Xiu was obviously a little moved, but she still didn't respond rashly, but turned her questioning gaze to Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded at her: "Baby is right, we are in the countryside here, and the folk customs are open, so we don't pay much attention."

Wang Cuilian also said: "It's Chinese New Year, adults and children just want to have fun, you eat quickly, and after eating, go to the earth temple with your uncle to kowtow a few times, and bless you all the best in the coming year!"

At this point, Hong Xiu smiled and nodded.

Hongxiu ate one tea egg and said he was full, Luo Baobao ate three and said he would just let it go for now.

Then, as soon as he wiped his mouth, he got up and pulled the red sleeve: "Let's go, auntie, let's go watch the fun!"

Hong Xiu hesitated for a while, looked at the eggshells on the table and said, "Wait a minute, I'll pack up the eggshells and go..."

Wang Cuilian came over from the side and snatched the empty bowl and eggshells from Hongxiu's hands, "Oh, it's fine for these aunts to clean up, you two go quickly, there will be no good seats if you go late."

"Yes, yes, there is no good place to go late, let's go, auntie!" Luo Baobao pulled up his red sleeves and ran out of the kitchen.

Wang Cuilian followed to the door of the kitchen and looked at the backs of the two of them walking away, before turning around, "Our baby has an aunt, she's so happy, she walks with the wind!"

Yang Ruoqing also smiled.

Isn't it just Luo Baobao who is happy?Aunt seems to like red sleeves very much too.

Ping'er lived in Luo's house before she got married, and Yu'er also lived in the house for a short time.

Although Wang Cuilian treated them well, and they called each other short, there seemed to be something missing between Wang Cuilian and them.

That kind of thing may be called congeniality.

But when Hongxiu came over, Yang Ruoqing clearly felt that when Wang Cuilian looked at Hongxiu, the look in her eyes was different from the way she used to look at Ping'er and Yu'er.

Warm and polite, with sincerity, love and love from the bottom of my heart.

Take peeling tea eggs as an example. In the past, no matter how hospitable Wang Cuilian was, she would not be so polite as to peel eggshells for guests.

She only peeled for the children at home.

What's more, when she looked at the red sleeves and the others walking away, her eyes did not escape Holmes@沃麦's eyes.

"Qing'er, how old is this red sleeve this year? I don't think it's much older than our baby?"

While tidying up the things on the table, Wang Cuilian inquired with Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing thought about it seriously, "It looks five or six years older than our baby."

"oh, I see?"

Wang Cuilian's eyes flashed, "Then is she from the capital? Who else is there in the family? How long can you stay at our house this time?"

The three soul questions are very familiar, and Yang Huazhong also asked them at the gate of the courtyard before.

It's not convenient to talk to Yang Huazhong, but I can talk a little more with Wang Cuilian.

"Well, she is from the capital city. Her family used to be an official. When she was a child, her family invited a female teacher to teach her."

"Huh? So she's a lady from an official's family? No wonder she's thin-skinned and tender-skinned, with a different temperament all over her body. She looks like she's knowledgeable about books and manners."

Wang Cuilian boasted sincerely, and the thoughts in her heart of wanting to get closer to Hongxiu also receded a little.

She is just a village woman, she is a lady of everyone, there must be many people who love her...

"However, she is also a miserable person. Something happened at home, and her parents disappeared. When I found her, she was working as a coolie in the bishop's workshop as the daughter of a criminal minister!"

"what?"

Wang Cuilian was so shocked that the movements of her hands stopped.

"What crime did her family commit? Could it be..."

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "It was involved at the time, that's why the house was ransacked. Parents are all dead. That's what happened during the time of the Supreme Emperor."

Yang Ruoqing had investigated the matter of the Hongxiu family in private, and there was grievance in it.

But the evidence is insufficient, and the time is not yet, so it is not yet possible to reverse the case for her family.

But as long as Hongxiu is alive, there is hope, isn't there?

Even if it is really impossible to reverse the case, it must be her parents' wish that she can survive and live a good life like an ordinary person!
"Hey, such a delicate young lady suddenly suffered an accident. It's not as good as those children of ordinary people who live in peace and stability." Wang Cuilian sighed, and the distress for Hongxiu in her heart was multiplied several times.

"This time Hongxiu is here to help me and keep the baby, so she will probably be able to stay with us for a while."

Hearing this, Wang Cuilian's eyes lit up.

"That's a good relationship, I don't know why, I feel close to that girl when I see it!"

Yang Ruoqing smiled.

She almost got angry and persuaded Wang Cuilian to accept Hongxiu as a foster daughter. Wang Cuilian had no children, and Hongxiu just happened to have no home.

But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

Some things go too far, it depends on fate.

When the fate comes, it will happen naturally, there is no need to push the flames vigorously after the first meeting, what is Hongxiu thinking in his heart, there is still a question mark!
And this godmother didn't recognize her casually, just like she and Zi Chuanniang did, if they recognize each other, they are serious relatives.

So just wait.

"Auntie, I only told you about Hongxiu's life, don't tell anyone else."

Yang Ruoqing warned again carefully.

"Even if you are yourself, don't show your secrets in front of Hongxiu. Although she has a rough fate and a soft temper, she is a very strong person in her bones, and she can't bear the pity and sympathy of others. Do you understand, aunt? "
