Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 128 The Xu family is haunted (2)
Mo Qingqiang also opened the door, Qingli turned inside, and the little disciple Xi was sitting on a chair obediently holding the book of mythology.

This is how much he loves to listen to stories. Usually, the younger brother is basically himself, and will not take the initiative to find the second sister, because the second sister has a loud voice and has no patience. The younger brother has always been afraid of her. This time, he took the initiative to come here for the story. Look The temptation is great.

"Tomorrow, my mother and I will go back to the village. You and Xiaoju will watch over the nurse for a whole day. Parents are not at ease, so you two will chat with each other and receive the medical girl."

The second sister, Qing Qiang, pulled Qingli into the room and gave detailed instructions on what to do tomorrow. At the end, she added, "Stay with her for a while and ask what's new recently. When I come back, what are you talking about?" I."

The second sister, Mo Qingqiang, kept an extra thought before. The reason why she received the doctor girl every day was to learn some simple medical skills, not to save lives, but because her family had a headache or something, and she knew how to massage or drink. What kind of medicine, so every day the tea and water delivery person is courteous, and the doctor girl stays for a while.As a result, the doctor girl is also talkative. Every time she can teach her two hands, the two of them have a common topic, and they often share gossip news about wealthy families together.But Qingli didn't expect the second sister to be so enthusiastic, and she needed to tell her when she was away for a day.

No wonder there were so many gossips in ancient times, Qing Li suddenly felt that it was understandable now, except for housework all day long, it was just shoe soles, mending clothes, and there were no entertainment activities. In a short way, sometimes some anecdotes and strange things in the south are spread here. In modern times, it all depends on the news network. In ancient times, it was not so convenient. It all depends on mouth. .

"Understood, Second Sister, why is my brother here with you? Have you heard the story?"

It was almost time to go to bed, Qingli thought about telling him two bedtime stories and sent him back to the house.

"I've already told three of them, little girl, let's change the book next time. It's full of fairy tales. How can this be explained clearly?"

The younger brother's question on the other side, the second sister is also in a state of desperation, but recently there are too many things at home, and her father has been injured again, and the mother Liu's main attention has been shifted, and the younger brother has become an unattended child. Qingli loves him, so I bought it. A storybook with illustrations.

"Second sister, fourth sister, I want to learn how to read."

Zixi ran a few steps on short legs, and came to the door, with serious eyes, "My parents said that only after they can read and write can they be tested for talent, just like father."

"Well, Daddy is very powerful."

Qingli continued absently, thinking to herself, the younger brother wants to read, isn't it really because he wants to understand storybooks?
The second sister, Qing Qiang, patiently coaxed the younger brother for a while, and then sent him to her parents' house. Tomorrow she followed her mother back to the village. Mother Liu remembered that there was a family from her mother's village, that is, Qing The village of Li's grandparents is at the other end of Xiaofeng County, which is relatively far away, and it may take several hours to ride an ox cart.

There is a girl in the village, Qing Qiang calls her Sister Caiyun, she lives next door to her grandmother's house, she is also a hard-working girl, she looks beautiful and can read a few words, when the Mo family did not separate, Qing Qiang was sent by her mother to stay there After a while, I often played with her, and calculated the age, it should be the same age as the eldest brother.

Rural girls are usually married at the age of thirteen or fourteen. If their parents love them, they can stay until they are fifteen or sixteen. This 17-year-old is considered a leftover girl in ancient times. The reason is not that Sister Caiyun has any defects. On the contrary, she is quite Good, gentle and virtuous, understands the truth, and is dragged down because the family is too poor.

Sister Caiyun used to have a wealthy family, and her father was a hunter. Later, when she went hunting in the mountains, a big hole was made in her stomach by the fangs of a wild boar. It was thanks to her strength that she went to the town for medical treatment and survived, but she emptied the house. For many years, the family didn't have much money, and they all relied on Sister Caiyun's mother and her to do some needlework and feed some chickens and ducks to supplement the family. The family was poor, but she had a younger brother who was two years younger, and now he has reached the age of marriage.

It stands to reason that it doesn't matter if the family is poor. Sister Caiyun can do everything, and Lao Cai, the landlord in the village, thought of accepting her as a concubine and giving her a lot of money when the time came, but his father was stubborn. He said that he would not sell his daughter, so he kicked out the people who came to propose marriage, which made the landlord Lao Cai very angry.

So it was like this, who spread some gossip and ruined Sister Caiyun's reputation, but she didn't do much and just managed to survive.

Qing Qiang knew that she had to endure the pointing and pointing of the village aunt every day. This feeling was really bad. The mother Liu went to sell pearls in Xiaofeng County a while ago, and she met someone from her natal village, and mentioned Fu Caiyun again. After the big brother was framed and his marriage was withdrawn, she came up with this idea, just in time to hear grandma saying that she doesn't care about the other party's dowry, the most important thing is character, so she couldn't bear it anymore, and hurried back to consult with her aunt Liu Shi. The two sisters-in-law are from the same village, so it sounds convenient to talk.

On the morning of the tenth day of September, the sky was gloomy, and there was a mass of thick black clouds not far away, which were slowly approaching. There are also more fallen leaves.

Uncle Zhang was busy working in the front yard with a broom, and his grandfather followed him, saying that it was to exercise his muscles and bones. Grandma kept telling the younger ones to go out and bring coir raincoats to prevent them from catching the cold after it rained.

"Mother, I'll take Girl Qiang back to the village to have a look. If the rainy road is difficult to walk, I will stay overnight tonight and come back tomorrow. Don't worry about Dongzi's marriage. I will discuss it with my sister-in-law."

Before Mrs. Liu left, she went to the main room in the front yard to say hello to grandma, and said a few words of comfort. When she heard that there was a candidate, grandma felt relieved, nodded, and asked Mrs. Liu to find someone with a shed. Bullock carts, otherwise it will rain and the village will be muddy, and some of the walks will be thick with mud, and it will be difficult to lift your feet.

It has been cloudy for a long time, but the rain still hasn't started to fall. Qingli saw that her cousin Mo Qingju had been helping with the work, and she was ashamed to be lazy, so she went to boil hot water. Yesterday Zhao Wanchun asked Dongmei to send river crabs and When serving chrysanthemum wine, I specially packed a large bag of flower and fruit tea, which is said to be very popular among the wives and young ladies of rich families, for its beauty and beauty.

Qingli opened it and saw that it was peach blossoms, jasmine and several other fruits dried and mixed together. The colors were different, and it looked very beautiful. It would be better if there was a transparent glazed teapot. This time, to ask gossip, Take out the best to entertain the medical girl, I believe she is also a person who knows the goods.

At the beginning of Sishi, the female doctor came to the door with a medicine box on her back, gave her grandma Li massage and acupuncture carefully, and talked about the daily dietary taboos.

"Little aunt, is my milk recovering well?"

Qingli has always been incapable of addressing her, so she doesn't know what to call her, but the doctor girl is only in her twenties, so she should be called that.
