Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 8538
Changping Village.

It is already the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, and there are two days before the New Year's Eve. For the residents in the town, their busyness is another scene.

But for the farmers, the taste of that year was not so strong.

Ming people don't talk dark words, Yang Ruoqing has traveled here for so many years, what she enjoys most is visiting relatives and friends in the twelfth lunar month every year, and visiting relatives and friends in the first month.

Compared with visiting relatives and friends in the first month, she even prefers the short but precious time of the twelfth lunar month.

Compared with the industrialized civilization of later generations, this era is truly ancient and a complete farming society.

In this era, there is no such thing as excluding part-time work, and then going home to pretend to be a force.

More than [-]% of the villagers in this era live in the village all year round, working like their ancestors did.

Under the old maple tree at the entrance of the village, at the entrance of the alley, at the threshing ground at the south end of the village, under the southern wall that can be exposed to the sun, beside the soil and dung pile behind the house, in the firewood stacks in front of and behind the yard...all belong to men, women and children in the village paradise.

Children play hide-and-seek games here, men gather together to bask in the sun and smoke tobacco, women sit in a row with needlework and do chores while doing household chores, old ladies pass by with their grandchildren on their backs, and pick and choose. Water workers, wood cutters, starch workers, those who went to the vegetable garden to skim cabbage, and those who came back from the town market, everyone who passed by these places had to stop and chat.

In the twelfth lunar month, the most frequently asked questions by the big guys are the following:
"Have you prepared all the necessities for the New Year?"

"Have you prepared all the clothes, shoes and socks for the New Year for the elderly and children at home?"

"How many catties of pork have you weighed for the New Year this year?"

"Thirty catties? Tsk tsk, that's enough to eat, and you can have a big fat year this year!"

"..."

Walking in the village, Yang Ruoqing could see and hear these things, and she was really immersed in the atmosphere.

Unlike later generations, there are not many young people in the village throughout the year, only empty nesters and left-behind children.

Young men and women left their hometowns to earn a living. The village was dead, and the doors and windows of every house were closed.

The ups and downs of the year are only clear to themselves.

I can’t come back until the New Year’s Eve. After the New Year’s Eve dinner, I have to plan to go out to work on the second day of the first lunar month. The children seem to feel something, and they stick to their parents all the time, lest their parents will die gone.

So many parents secretly leave the village while their children are asleep.

But when the child wakes up, he must still search up and down in the building left by his parents, crying heartbreakingly.

This era is different. No matter how poor the parents are, they still stay with the children. Even if they eat bran and swallowed vegetables, you will have a bowl and I will have a bowl. It is lively and lively.

Yang Ruoqing likes this era and its excitement.

Even if you are poor, being poor is better than being poor. People are more simple, not as impetuous as later generations, and there are so many pretense and crimes!
If you have money, you have money, and if you have no money, you have no money. Unlike some people who play big at the poker table, there are reminder messages one after another in the mobile phone online loan.

These days, if you don’t have money for the New Year, you will honestly borrow from relatives and friends, and move from big households in the village.

No, at the time of dinner, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Tiejiang received several groups of villagers who came to borrow money for the New Year.

Some even come from neighboring villages.

As for the villagers who came to borrow money, as long as they weren't of poor character and lazy, it didn't matter if it was Yang Ruoqing or Luo Blacksmith, no matter how much they borrowed or how little they borrowed, it was impossible for them to go back empty-handed no matter what.

As Luo Tiejiang said: "This year, our family has borrowed more money and grain than in previous years. The reason is still related to the flood in summer!"

Yang Ruoqing also nodded slightly: "Just wait until this year is over, my father received a message from the town's security chief in the afternoon, and asked him to take people and cars to the town tomorrow morning, it must be the relief food." gone."

Hearing that the relief food had finally been delivered to the village, Chief Blacksmith Luo heaved a sigh of relief, "This is really a timely gift. Now that His Majesty is merciful, he still cares about our common people's life and death."

Yang Ruoqing smiled, "That's for sure, the current sage loves the people like a son."

I don't dare to say anything else, but Qi Xingyun, as a generation of emperors, has really put his heart and soul into governing the country and caring for the people.

Because the custom here tonight is that after nightfall and before midnight, the whole village has to lie down on the bed quickly. Whether you fall asleep or can't sleep, try to keep quiet and don't make any big noises.

People who have a dog, even if they pick at the dog more often, will be hungry and full.

Tonight, the owner will let the dog eat a full meal, and then pat the dog's head and tell it to sleep in the kennel obediently tonight, and don't talk too much no matter what is going on outside...

A dog with a high IQ may be able to understand it, but a dog with a low IQ will treat it as a fart for the dog owner, and bark as much as it should.

So on the second day, that kind of dog will have to be beaten, and even hung up and peeled. The onion, ginger and garlic will be eaten, and it will become a dish for entertaining relatives and friends in the first month.

No way, because everyone thinks that the quieter the better tonight, the dog that loves to bark tonight is known as an unlucky symbol...

But in Yang Ruoqing's view, it is the dog's nature for the housekeeper to bark a few times as a warning when it hears a noise, and the owner can't be serious about it.

"Qing'er, the supper is ready, let's eat early and go back to the house to rest." Wang Cuilian came over to discuss with Yang Ruoqing.

Tonight, there were four more girls from Yangzhou at home. Mrs. Sun and Xiaohua all came to help cook, so the two families ate together tonight.

"Okay, I'll call Zhi'er right now and ask him to tell the girls to take a seat in the dining hall."

Yang Ruoqing went over to call Dazhi, Dazhi said: "Mom, Xiao Qiao won't let her go to the dining hall, I will send her to the room later."

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Okay, you can arrange it."

Then Yang Ruoqing went to call Yang Huazhong and Da'an. In the yard next door, Yang Huazhong and Da'an were both there. Not only were they there, but Yang Huaming, Yang Huazhou, and other old and young men of the old Yang family were also there. Obviously, Yang Huazhong was going to the town early tomorrow morning to bring relief food. He wanted to transfer staff from within the old Yang family.

Seven or eight people, five or six cars, can be taken out completely.

Hearing Yang Ruoqing calling for dinner, Yang Yongqing jokingly asked: "Qing'er, you just call third uncle and fourth uncle instead of us, isn't it too biased?"

Yang Ruoqing smiled without hiding anything, and said truthfully: "It's not biased, it's because the fourth aunt helped in the kitchen here before, and my family cooks rice according to the head, and you didn't have food to entertain me when I called you brother. Instead, he was slow.”

Yang Yongqing said: "Don't neglect, don't neglect, as long as you have a sip of wine and a few peanuts, I will do it!"

Yang Huaming scolded Yang Yongqing with a smile: "Why are you going? I don't even want to go. The guests of the Luo family this time are a few delicate girls. Why don't we frighten others by going here?"
