The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 144
On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, we worship the Stove King and sweep away the dust in the small year.

The man will not go to the mountains from today onwards. Everyone in Jingjia Village will have a New Year's holiday from today until the third day of the twelfth lunar month.

Ms. Su wore a floral handkerchief on her head and an apron on her body. She called her daughter with a rag in her hand: "Where are you going? Isn't it a holiday? What else do you have to do? Go back to the house and clean up." Let’s clean up the kitchen together when we’re done, and today we’re going to pay homage to the Kitchen King, if we don’t clean it up, we’ll miss the mark!”

Jing Li pulled Xiao Tao'er and smiled: "We are fishing by the river today. If I don't go to help, I can't do it. So what? Keep the house clean until I come back!"

After saying that, he took Xiao Tao'er and ran away. Xiao Tao'er's cheerful laughter could be heard from afar.

Mrs. Su stamped her feet: "I usually do those sideline things very seriously, but when it comes to housework, I can run faster than anyone else with oil on my soles!"

Haitang came over with hot water and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't be angry, there is only one house in total, there is me and Lan'er, there is no need to ask Ali to go through all the trouble."

Lan'er followed behind with a broom in one hand and a rag in the other: "That's right, Ah Li has too many things to worry about. Auntie, don't keep nagging her about these little things, making her annoying."

The fat aunt swung the sheets to dry on the rope: "I have been very busy this year. I have to worry about giving lectures to everyone these two days. Please let Ah Li relax and don't call her for big and small things all day long. That's what our daughter is doing." For those of you who are serious about this, what is this trivial matter worth!"

Okay, let’s not talk about Mrs. Su. All of them are very spoiled by her daughter. She usually doesn’t wash the dishes after eating, let alone wash and cook. All the clothes are given to Lan’er and Xiaocui has taken care of her, just like the waitress.

She felt sorry for herself and wanted to talk about her daughter, but before she could speak, Mrs. Renge and Xiao Cuiniang were not happy.

"We, Ali, are so busy. We have to worry about making money and the future of our children. There are so many things that I can't help with. How about washing clothes and washing dishes? We are happy!"

Even Mr. Jing, who usually didn't care about the family's shortcomings, advised her: "Our little girl is different from others, and others don't have the ability like her. Her mother, this person can't be too complete. If someone outside the family catches her, then it's okay." God is jealous, this is really nothing."

In the kitchen, several old ladies slipped out several large iron openings and used hoes to scrape the ashes from the bottom of the pots.

Xiao Su and several women were scrubbing. The oil tank needed to be cleaned, the vegetable cutting door panel needed to be cleaned, and even the top was swept with long bamboo poles tied with bamboo leaves.

Aunt An and a few people were smoking bacon and sausages. White smoke slowly rose from the cypress incense branches, and a refreshing fragrance slowly oozed out.

"Miscellaneous, are these branches enough?" Her grandson Zhao Pidan struggled to drag a cypress branch over, his face flushed and sweat pouring from his forehead.

Aunt An fanned the smoke and coughed twice: "What? After doing such a small amount of work, you just want to play?"

The golden egg at the other end waved to Zhao Pidan at the foot of the wall. Zhao Pidan was so anxious that tears were rolling in his eyes: "Grandma, let me go and play for a while. After a while, the fishing by the river will be over!"

Aunt An burst out laughing and said, "You're in such a hurry, go ahead! Follow me, don't go to the ice cave entrance!"

Before this person finished his instructions, Zhao Pidan and Jindan had already run away without a trace.

On the edge of the river, a group of men stood on the ice, shouting "Hey, hey, hey, hey," and smashing holes in the ice.These people couldn't stay idle. Jingli couldn't go to the mountains for a vacation, so Shen Huwei and Jing Dafu took a group of people to the river to smash ice. There were only so many jobs at home, and both the old man and the woman did it. We, the boss, always You can't just wander around!
The river is right at the doorstep of the house. It's not dangerous and it's just for fun. It's okay to throw out a few fish to satisfy the kids' cravings.

At the entrance of the hole that had been smashed open, Orion Zhao and his men took a newly made fishing net and were casting the net into it. The large wooden basin on the shore was already half full of fish.

People from the east end heard the noise here and came over to join in the fun. It was freezing and there was nothing to do. The brave young man also came to help Shen Guard and the others.

The little kids followed behind and started making noises, and many women couldn't help but drop their work and come out to join in the fun. The old ladies took the opportunity to hold a small heater in their hands and point people at the other end of the river.

"Did you see that? The girl in the middle wearing red is the leader of the group. Even if she is a girl, you don't know that Wang Lizheng was so pressed that he could hardly lift his head!" Wang Dun'er's second uncle said. The man pointed at Jingli.

Next to her was her old neighbor Sister-in-law Shuizhen. Sister-in-law Shuizhen clicked her tongue with envy on her face: "Emma, ​​that girl is so handsome. Not even the little girl from Wang Lizheng's family is worthy of carrying her shoes!"

Mrs. Wang sniffed and looked mysterious: "Let me tell you, those people are rich. Just a few days ago, I woke up that night until I had pain to urinate. Guess what I saw?"

Wang Dun'er's second wife and Shui Zhen's wife asked curiously: "What did you see? You should tell me! Emma! I hate your half-talking temperament the most, you are so sluggish!"

Mrs. Wang looked around and whispered: "I saw those people coming back from the city to buy New Year's goods. Do you know how many cars there are?"

Wang Duner's second uncle looked at her unhappily: "I know nothing! You should tell me!"

Mrs. Wang carefully made an eight-car gesture: "Eight cars, Lao Gao has built eight cars. The group of people unloaded the cars for a long time, and it was noisy until the third update. It was finished. You said you bought it? How many things?"

Wang Dun'er's second aunt and Sister Shuizhen were both stunned, "Oh my God!"Eight cars!There were eight carts full of stuff. It felt like these people's money had fallen from the sky, and it didn't seem like money.

The man at this end was silently digesting the gap between the rich and the poor on both sides, and the crowd's exclamations came from the other end: "Hurry up! Third uncle, hurry up! Don't let the fish run away."

"Jin Long, Dalang, you two hurry up and pull the net. Erlang, why are you running? Pull it quickly. By the time you call someone over, the fish will be gone."

The fish in the Beishui River are big and plump. When the river water rises in the summer, except for a few families with fishing nets, everyone can only watch. There is no other way. The water flow is too fast and they will not catch the fish at all.

Not to mention winter, the surface of the river is so turbulent that even if it's driven by a horse-drawn carriage, it won't leave any trace, not to mention cutting through the ice.

But these objective conditions are not limited to the people of Jingjia Village. What if the porcelain is frozen? We are doing a training exercise in Tiantianwo Mountain and hunting by the way. We don’t have time and can’t take care of this. But now that we have time, you are frozen. Iceberg, you have to pry it open.

To this end, the old blacksmith made several large iron forks overnight. The more people there were, the stronger the power was. One person was at each point. Soon cracks appeared on the ice, and the fish below were still spitting bubbles happily.

Jingli was also helping to pull the net. As soon as a net of fish came up, Wanbaoquan came over and whispered: "Ali, a guest is here!"
