Yu Wan Xian Ji

Chapter 3 Ling Niang

At this time, Yu Wan had just entered her yard, and the first person to greet her was the big yellow dog at home. Its name was very casual, and it was down-to-earth and very suitable for its body color: big yellow.

When Da Huang heard someone push open the courtyard door, it stood up with its ears up, wagging its tail and ran to Yu Wan's side, rubbing left and right, and the look of eagerly trying to please Yu Wan's heart warmed Yu Wan's heart and felt pity. stroking Rhubarb's head.

She came to the eaves of the tile house to unload the basket on her shoulders. The walls of this tile house were rammed with yellow soil, and the roof was covered with blue tiles. After years of wind and rain, the cracks on the mud walls seemed to be painted by someone. out clearly visible.

The house has three bedrooms, a living room, and the kitchen is built under the outer wall.

The yard is surrounded by a fence made of intersecting bamboos, and a group of chicks are running chatteringly, following a flower hen, who leads her cubs to forage in the vegetable fields in the yard.

The yard is not big, but it is a typical farmyard, with chickens flying and dogs jumping, melons and vines full of everything.

Yu Wan stood at the door of the house. She wanted to call her mother, but she still wanted to ease the awkwardness and shouted in the beautiful voice of an eight-year-old girl:

"Mother! I'm back."

A young woman in her twenties walked out of the main room with the sound of coughing. This woman was Yu Wan's mother, Ling Niang.

When Ling Niang saw her daughter who came back, she couldn't help but blamed: "Cough cough... I came back late, and you went up the mountain again? You are a girl, don't you know that going up the mountain is very dangerous? Don't go again in the future, this will let my mother follow You worry."

Yu Wan knew that she was worried about herself, but didn't want to worry too much, so she changed the subject and said, "Mother, don't worry, I won't go alone in the future, you see you cough again, did you take medicine in the morning?"

Speaking, without waiting for Ling Niang to reply, Yu Wan ran to the kitchen to see if there was any less medicine in the earthen casserole?

Ling Niang saw the child's temperament, Yu Wan, and smiled helplessly:

"Mother is like an ignorant baby. I take all the medicines prescribed by Li Langzhong on time, so I don't have to worry about it."

Yu Wan came out of the kitchen and saw that there was a lot less soup in the medicine jar, so he felt relieved: "I'm afraid my mother will feel the medicine is bitter and won't drink it."

In fact, she was afraid that Ling Niang would be reluctant to spend money on the medicine, so she drank it every time, and Yu Wan just boiled the medicine and drank it while watching Ling Niang.

Ling Niang listened to Yu Wan's childish words and couldn't help laughing:

"You, you are used to finding your mother happy."

Yu Wan helped Ling Niang into the house, but did not see her younger brother Yu Chen, so she asked:

"Where's Ah Chen? Why haven't I seen him, this guy is the most naughty and funny, why is it so quiet today?"

"He, he went to the village to play with his friends in the village, and he hasn't come back yet," Ling Niang said.

"By the way, mother, I picked a lot of wild vegetables on the mountain, and there are herbs that Li Langzhong said can cure you. I will cook it for you later."

Speaking of which, Yu Wan ran under the eaves and sorted out the things picked in the basket one by one.

When he took out a pheasant, he said:

"This chicken was sent by Uncle Jiang when he was going down the mountain. I said he didn't want him to just put it in. I had no choice but to carry it home." After speaking, he looked at Ling Niang a little embarrassedly.

Ling Niang coughed and sighed:

"Cough...hey..."

"This is your uncle Jiang's kindness. You must remember this kindness, and you will have the opportunity to repay this kindness in the future."

Yu Wan replied very neatly:

"Oh, I see."

In fact, needless to say, I know that Uncle Jiang is really taking care of the orphans and widows of their family.

It's like getting up in the morning and seeing a pile of firewood outside the courtyard;

Or from time to time, at the entrance of the hospital, there is a package of herbs labelled in the "Heshengtang" pharmacy in the town...

And so on, the original "Yu Wan" found out that Yu Jiang did these details, but the young "Yu Wan" didn't know what Yu Jiang really thought about doing this, but she was an adult in her core, but she could think that this was Yu Jiang thought about Ling Niang, but he never dared to express it directly, and used his own stupid method to pay silently.

Yu Wan sighed silently, if she could, she hoped that Yu Jiang and Ling Niang would be together so that Ling Niang would not be so tired.As a daughter, Yu Wan is only an eight-year-old girl. She can't help much with many things. There is a man who takes care of her and can improve her condition.

Yu Wan brought the chicken to the kitchen, boiled hot water, waited for a while, the water boiled and scalded the chicken, plucked the feathers, plucked the internal organs and washed it, and it was neat and clean, and the rhubarb circled around Yu Wan. , from time to time, he also made a grieved whimper, which made Yu Wan giggle with joy. This guy wanted to eat meat.

Ling Niang watched her daughter handle the chicken, and she handled it so smoothly that she couldn't help feeling sad. A good daughter asked her to do such bloody things.

She felt guilty and distressed, and tears were swirling in her eyes. She turned her back with the sound of coughing, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and walked to Yu Wan's side and said:

"You are small and your strength is small. It is dangerous to chop chicken with a knife. Let your mother come."

After he finished speaking, he took the chicken that Yu Wan had handled, put it on the chopping board and started to chop it into small pieces.

Although Ling Niang is a weak woman, she has carried the family by herself for so many years, and now she can kill chickens and cut meat at her fingertips.

Ling Niang is not from Yujia Village, but was brought back by Yu’s father from outside. When Ling Niang came, her delicate skin and tender flesh looked like a young lady, not like a girl living in the village doing farm work, but now she has worked hard for years. He was wasted, his hands were already covered with thick calluses, and only this thin face could vaguely see the appearance of a once quiet and beautiful girl.

And Ling Niang seemed to have forgotten her past, the only thing she remembered was that her name was Ling Niang, and Yu's father called Ling Niang's name.

I followed Yu's father to Yujia Village and became Yu's father's wife. After a year, I had Yu Wan. The arrival of the child made the silly Yu's father smile like a child. This is his and Lingniang's child!He has his first child with Ling Niang!

Yu's father is a simple and honest man, but he is also a man who knows how to hurt people. He likes Ling Niang, and he is never willing to let her do farm work, for fear that she will be tired and hungry, and he will work hard to earn money. , I just thought that I could earn more money and spend it on Ling Niang.

In the third year after Yu Wan was born, his younger brother Yu Chen was born, Yu's father was even more happy, and the old Yu family had a successor!While happy, he is also working hard to support his family.

In the same year that Yu Chen was born, Yu's father was overworked and drenched in a night rain.

This bad news was a big blow to the Yu family, who was an orphan and widowed mother. Ling Niang was soft on the outside and tough on the inside. Ling Niang, who had never touched the spring water with her ten fingers, had no choice but to go out to support her family.She does farm work during the day, embroidery and needlework at night, and takes care of two dolls at the same time.

In this feudal era, Yu Wan could imagine how difficult it was to get Ling Niang, Ling Niang's body had also worn down in just a few short years, and the root cause of labor sickness and cough had also disappeared.

Looking at Ling Niang who was chopping chicken, Yu Wan couldn't help but feel pity for this mother, and added some wood to the fire beside the stove to help Ling Niang fight.

She suddenly remembered that the five-colored flowers she brought back from the mountain were still sitting next to the basket. She got up and walked under the eaves. She put the herbs and wild vegetables and fungus picked up from the mountain into baskets, and placed the herbs and fungus in the sun.He picked up the colorful flowers again, looked at his vegetable garden, and finally decided to plant them on the bamboo fence against the wall.

While digging up the soil to plant flowers, Yu Wan said to the five-colored flowers:

"Since you like to grow in a shady place, then I will put you in this corner and plant it."

After the flowers were planted, I did not forget to pour some water on the roots to moisten the roots. I was afraid that the flower hen at home would bring a group of chicks to harm it, so I took an old broken bamboo basket and fastened it.

After finishing these claps, I got up and cleaned my hands, and went back to the kitchen to continue helping Ling Niang.

Not long after, Ling Niang put the fried chicken out of the pot and put it on a plate. Seeing that the gruel in the pot was ready, she said to Yu Wan:

"Lunch is ready, look at why your brother hasn't come back? It's time to go home for dinner after going out for so long.

Yu Wan thought about it, yes, it was time for this naughty little brother to go home, so he took Da Huang out to the village to find someone.

　Ask for collection, recommendation ticket, monthly ticket, thank you
