The peasant's daughter-in-law of crossing

Chapter 10

The whole family had eaten breakfast, and only half of the sun had risen on the hill to the east.Father Xue and Yang Sanniang went to the field with hoes on their shoulders, and the three younger brothers went to work at Landlord Ge's house together.

Of course, Boming also has work to do. He has to return these bowls, plates, ladles, and basins to the villagers, and then go to the mountains to cut firewood.

At this time, Bo Ming ran to the neighbors to return these belongings. Yingniang picked up the broom and swept each house carefully, then fetched a bucket of water, and found a rag to wipe all the tables and chairs carefully.

When Boming came back, he saw Yingniang cleaning the kitchen cabinets in the kitchen, sweating from all the work, and he felt a little distressed, "Look at you, you're sweating all over from exhaustion. Although Dad told you to clean up the house, he didn't ask you to clean up the house." Clean up the house immediately, but take your time. In just a short while, you have cleaned up so clean inside and out, and you are too eager to do it." He took out a towel and put it in the basin to wipe Wet, handed it to Yingniang, "Hurry up and wipe off your sweat."

He moved another chair, "Sit down and rest for a while." After he finished speaking, he ran to pour a glass of water for Yingniang to drink.

Yingniang also felt that she was really in a hurry, although she didn't feel very tired. After all, her body is suitable for work, but she couldn't stop sweating. She drank a glass of water, sorry He smiled softly, "I'm an impatient person. When I think about what to do, I want to do it all at once."

"I'm a bit slow-tempered, and the two of us complement each other perfectly." Bo Ming smiled slightly, suddenly felt that this sentence was a bit ambiguous, so he quickly lowered his head and took the cup from Ying Niang's hand, and sent it to the room.

When he came out, he was still holding a big machete in his hand, squatting on the whetstone by the well to sharpen it.

"Are you going to chop firewood?" Yingniang asked.

"Well, I'm running out of firewood at home. I have to cut firewood for the next few days. I'm going to the mountains later, so you can only stay at home alone." Bo Ming looked up at Yingniang, he was afraid that she would be alone She will not be used to it at home, after all, she just got married and is still very unfamiliar with his family.

Yingniang is a very adaptable person, she can even accept time travel, she is not afraid of staying at home alone, "I have to go out, and I will go to wash clothes later. Where do you usually wash , take me there." She got up as she spoke, and was about to go into the house to find dirty clothes.

"Okay, I'll take you there." Bo Ming watched Ying Niang's back as she entered the room, and a wave of warmth surged through his body.Before, he told his parents that he didn't want to get married, and that it didn't matter if he was single for the rest of his life. Aren't his master and senior brothers and sisters all single?

Now he understands why so many men want to get married. It turns out that it feels so good to have a wife. From now on, he will live another life, a life with her by his side every day. The two share joys and sorrows Live together.

Yingniang was looking for dirty clothes in the house, she searched every room.Farmers create food in the fields, so the clothes are naturally covered with soil, and the smell of sweat is also very strong.

Seeing Yingniang taking out so many dirty clothes from the house and stuffing them into the big basket, Bo Ming didn't frown, and didn't dislike the smell of heavy sweat at all.

He felt relieved that Yingniang was not squeamish, but at the same time felt wronged by her, so he asked, "Are you working like this at your mother's house before dawn?"

Without even thinking about it, Yingniang said: "Of course, besides cooking, tidying up the house and washing clothes, there is also a lot of work to do. Just look at my hands." The reason why she is so sure about this body Her ex has to do a lot of work every day, not only because of her hands, but also because of her mother's attitude towards her. Her parents have become so patriarchal, so it is impossible to let her be raised at home.

Seeing how Boming felt sorry for her when he looked at her hands, she put them away behind her back, and then smiled easily, "What's the matter, isn't it like this for all children born in a farm family? The hatchet has been sharpened Is it?"

"Oh." Only then did Boming recover. He was still sharpening the knife. He sharpened it a few times and touched the blade. "It's finished, let's go."

The two of them went out one after the other, and a boy about seven or eight years old laughed and shouted: "The monk's wife is coming out, the monk's wife is coming out!"

Immediately afterwards, a woman came out from the next yard and reprimanded: "Young lady, don't yell, you want to call sister-in-law, what kind of monk and lady, you are really rude!" While she was scolding the child, she kept looking at Sakura mother.

Bo Ming introduced to Yingniang, "This is our second aunt."

Yingniang called out quickly: "Second Aunt."

"Hey." The second aunt replied with a smile on her face. She was Bo Ming's biological second aunt, she was also the wife of the second uncle when we welcomed the bride yesterday. Everyone called her Jin Hua.

Seeing Yingniang carrying a basket of clothes, Jin Hua said, "You are going to wash clothes, and I am going too, just wait for me, I will clean up the dirty clothes, let's go together!"

Yingniang was embarrassed to refuse, it seemed that the second aunt was acquainted, and she wanted to be with her when she first met, so she had to respond: "Okay, I'll wait here."

Jin Hua rushed into the courtyard, and her youngest son also ran to play, but along the way he kept yelling "Mrs. Monk", which embarrassed Bo Ming and Ying Niang. He poked his head out of the courtyard to see the couple.

Seeing that Bo Ming was still standing beside her, Ying Niang said, "Bo Ming, go and chop firewood. I will go with my second aunt, and I don't need you to lead the way."

"Okay, then... I'm going." He seemed a little reluctant, and when he walked forward, he couldn't help but stop and look back at her several times.

Ying Niang smiled sweetly at him, "Go now."

Bo Ming also felt that he was too clingy like this. When the second aunt came out, if he saw that he hadn't left yet, he would definitely laugh at him, so he walked away with big strides.

After a while, Jinhua came out, and she also carried a basket full of clothes.

The two of them walked forward together, and Jin Hua kept talking all the way, "Mother Ying, did your second uncle make your parents unhappy yesterday? Don't take it to heart. He also looked It is not easy for your in-laws to save money, but it is a little bit to think about saving a little."

Ying Niang smiled slightly and shook her head, "I didn't take it to heart, it's fine."

Jinhua knew that Yingniang had only come to Xue's house, and there were still many things she didn't know, so she said, "Your second uncle is thinking that Zhongping is seventeen this year and has reached the age of marriage, so don't be discouraged just because of Boming's marriage The family is empty. Although it is said that the family cannot marry two relatives in the same year, Zhongping can only wait for next year, but this year will definitely make a marriage, and marry again in the next year. I don't have money to say goodbye to Zhongping, alas." Jinhua sighed like this, as if she was very worried about Zhongping.

Yingniang's eyebrows frowned when she heard this, the family's savings for her marriage with Bo Ming were almost exhausted?Zhongping is seventeen years old, and he really wants to talk about kissing. If it is too late, he might be like Bo Ming again.It's just that she was very happy to see that her parents-in-law and the whole family were not worried, so why was this second aunt so worried?
Jinhua looked at Yingniang's face, and smiled again, "Yingniang, you are considered blessed, your father-in-law loves the eldest son Boming the most, and he is definitely not willing to save money on him, you will only be blessed if you follow Boming Can't afford it."

Yingniang couldn't answer the conversation at all, she wouldn't feel lucky because her father-in-law favored Bo Ming, she felt that parents should treat their sons equally, so that there wouldn't be too many conflicts in the family.

Seeing that Yingniang just smiled and didn't answer, Jinhua still couldn't close her mouth, and then said: "Your mother-in-law loves your youngest son Ji Wang the most, and Ji Wang will definitely be the same when the time comes, just Zhongping and Uncle Chang may be slightly worse. But it’s the same in every family, parents will favor the eldest son and the youngest son more, and those who rank in the middle will suffer a bit.”

Yingniang kept laughing and said nothing, hearing this, she no longer had a good impression of this second aunt in her heart.Regardless of whether the in-laws are biased or not, as the second aunt, she shouldn't say such things to her niece and daughter-in-law who just passed the family.What's more, this is also a matter of her uncle and sister-in-law's family. How can she say that it is her own business.

Some women can't stay idle when they open their mouths, and they like to talk about Zhang's parents and Li's family.Yingniang didn't bother to be serious, so let her say it.

After walking for a long time, they arrived at the place where they washed their clothes. It turns out that there is no such deep river here as in Linjia Village, so that they can throw themselves into the river. There is only one big pond here.

The river in Linjiacun flows to the east, but Xuejiacun is to the west, so it doesn't flow through here.Yingniang was not clear about the situation here, although she was surprised that everyone was washing clothes in the pond, she didn't say a word.She felt that not presenting her ignorance in front of others was the best way to protect herself.

When she found a very clean stone and squatted down beside it, she found that the water in the pond was very clear.Oh, she just realized that there is no soap and washing powder here, and there is no pollution to the water quality. It seems that she was just worrying about it just now, thinking that the water in the pond will not flow, and the water will be dirty.

Laundry girls, women, and old ladies squatting around the pond all looked at Yingniang, and then Yingniang heard them commenting on her softly.

"The appearance is okay, but the complexion is not very good-looking, and it is tanned."

"General girls are not allowed to go to the field for a year before they get married. Looking at her, I'm afraid she didn't raise her at all. When I got married, I was raised by my mother's family for a year and a half. I usually just cook and clean up the house. , and do some needlework, the shoes and quilts in my dowry are all made by myself.”

"I heard that her natal family is poor, and she is the only daughter, the eldest, and the other two sons. A girl from this kind of family is probably very capable of work. She is good at everything in the house and in the field. It’s better to be black, as long as you can do it, it’s better than finding a squeamish person who can’t do this or that, Birming is lucky.”

"That's true. My little daughter-in-law is the kind of delicate one. She has only been weeding for half a day, and she says her back is sore. When she was asked to herd cattle, she was almost kicked by the cow. She was so scared that she came back crying, but she grew up It’s not in vain, it’s really not good at all.”

Yingniang just lowered her head and listened, not knowing which mouths these words came from.She really can't feel comfortable hearing them say that she is dark, who likes to hear people say that about herself.Don't they all say that one white covers one hundred ugliness? She is one black and one hundred beautiful.

Hearing from them that she must be able to do it, Yingniang's heart really felt a little thumped, she has the strength in her body, as for whether she can do it, it's... hard to say.

She vacated all the clothes in the clothes basket, and after getting wet, she didn't know how to wash them, because she only brought a brush and a mallet, and forgot to bring things like soap locusts,
Jin Hua was squatting next to her, she saw that Jin Hua brought a big wooden box of ash, could it be the legendary plant ash?In addition, I saw that she also brought a lot of saponins like beans.

Yingniang thought about borrowing some from her, it's quite a long way back and forth, so don't bother running back to get it.
