The peasant's daughter-in-law of crossing

Chapter 54

The next morning, Yingniang and Bo Ming drove the ox cart to the town and bought pastries and meat for their uncle's house.Because my uncle's house was close to the town, I went to his house first, returned the ox cart, and gave gifts, and then they came to Zhen's house to ask housekeeper Yin for wages.

Steward Yin was very enthusiastic when he saw Yingniang, and tried his best to keep her, "Lin Yingniang, you haven't come these few days, and there is no leader in the weaving workshop. The new leader is far worse than you, and I can't control people at all Last time you taught them how to weave that new pattern, they knew it, but they were still not proficient, and their weaving was far worse than yours."

Ying Niang sighed: "I don't want to do this either, the third young master drove me away."

"You can come again. The third young master was reprimanded by the master last night, saying that he was messing around, either running away from the capital or Wuzhou, and even drove away the leader of a good weaving workshop. The third young master is in front of the master. Wrong, as long as you are willing to come, the third young master will definitely not dare to say a word."

Yingniang and Boming looked at each other, in fact, they both knew that even if they came again, they would not be able to avoid frequent meetings with Donnie Yen, which would be a very annoying thing.

Ying Niang was hesitating, but she didn't say anything, it just so happened that Zhen Zi checked out the gate at this time.Originally, he was sleepy and listless, but when he saw Yingniang, he became energetic.

He walked over, wanted to get angry but held back, remembering what his father scolded him, he calmed down a bit, "Lin Yingniang, are you here to ask for wages? If you want me to tell you, you can just keep working here. "

Seeing that Yen Zicha also came to keep Yingniang, Boming was afraid that she would agree, so he nudged Yingniang with his elbow.Yen Zicha accidentally saw his action, "Xue Boming, don't make such small moves, I'm asking Yingniang, not you!"

Uncle took a look at him and didn't bother to talk to him.Yingniang naturally knew what Bo Ming meant. In fact, she herself made up her mind when she looked at the scoundrel in front of her. She made a helpless expression to Yen Zicha, and sighed regretfully: "At first, I was still a little tempted, but seeing you and me It's completely heartbroken."

Yen Zicha looked very surprised, "Oh? I've reached the point where you get a headache the moment you see it? I have something unexpected to tell you. The man Yao Yuzhen married was Li, who was from Kaiyin Village. Wealthy! Aren’t you and Yao Yuzhen good sisters? You just need to go to her place and cry poorly. She will give you dozens of ingots of silver in a soft heart, which is enough for your family to spend a lifetime. Are you interested in going there? If you want to Take me with you, and I will definitely give you a favor."

"Be as shameless as everyone else!" Yingniang snorted, "Don't you just want to sneak into Li's residence with me, and then meet Aunt Yao? I heard that there are people in Li's family, why don't you Are you really not afraid?"

Yen Zicha was a little discouraged when he heard this, "It's a big deal to meet each other, and it's not indecent, what about it?"

"Aunt Yao is already someone else's wife. It would be indecent for you to think about seeing her with a crooked mind! I don't want to talk to you, Housekeeper Yin, I don't hesitate anymore. I really don't plan to come to the weaving workshop again. You gave me half a month's salary It's over."

Steward Yin took a peek at Yen Zicha, shook his head, and went to get the money.

Zhen Zicha blushed with anger, "The Zhen family gave you face, and you are still playing awe-inspiring, and you really can't turn around when the weaving workshop is missing? I will go to the capital tomorrow, and then I will find a secretary." The aunt of the weaving bureau is here!" He shook his sleeves angrily and went to wander around the town.

Steward Yin came out with the money. Hearing that Zhen Zicha said that he would go to the capital again, he sighed deeply. The matter of the young master is really elusive.

Yingniang took more than 700 Wen and happily went shopping in the town with Birming.After buying some sugar, melon seeds and some snacks, I went to the meat stall again.

Recently, Yingniang buys at least one catty of meat every time. Butchers don't dare to speak sarcasticly to Yingniang anymore. They just nod and bow when they see her, knowing that she has a lot of money recently, so they have to be coaxed.

After buying things, the two of them went to Jiangjia Village to ask for a master mason.After a whole morning of tossing around like this, I didn't come back until near noon.

After that, the whole family was busy with work. The mason built a kang at home, and Boming cut down trees to make an ox cart.Although Birming is not very good at carpentry, but thinking of the cost of hiring a carpenter, he thought about doing it himself, because it is almost the end of the year, and there is really no important work at home.

Zhongping and Shuchang went to Nanshan to dig a reservoir as usual, and Jiwang cut firewood.Yingniang and Zhaodi made head flowers and knitting clothes at home every day, chatting while working, and lived a comfortable and comfortable life.

Twelve days later, the three kang heads were set up, and small stoves were added to Zhongping and Zhaodi's rooms.This is also good, after she gave birth to the child, if she wants to cook something for the child alone in the future, she can do it in the small stove in her own house, which is very convenient.

At this time, Boming was cooking a large stove in the kitchen, Zhongping was cooking a small stove in his own room, and several others ran from one room to another, and then from that room to this room, trying to sit on each kang several times.

Zhao Di was anxious, "Why don't you feel hot at all, it can't be that the kangs are not up?"

Shuchang and Jiwang also looked impatient, they spent [-] Wen, but they didn't feel any heat.

Yingniang looked at their impatient looks, and smiled helplessly: "You really can't hold your breath, the fire in the stove has just started, how can it be so fast? What's more, this is a new kang, the heat comes slowly, but it doesn't dissipate." It will also be very slow, and you will feel warm after sleeping all night."

Everyone firmly believed in Yingniang's words, so they were relieved.

"It's getting dark, let's make dinner quickly, try again after dinner, it will definitely be warmer." Yingniang greeted them and went out.

Because the family made pickled radish strips and capers before, Yingniang also cooked a lot of spicy cabbage recently, and stored some potatoes in the cellar, and Yingniang often bought meat home.Although there are very few fresh vegetables this winter, the whole family eats pretty well.

After dinner, they excitedly ran to the kang to try again.

"Sister-in-law, come here and try it, the kang in my room is hot!" Zhaodi shouted from the room.

Yingniang came over when she heard the sound, and Zhaodi said excitedly: "Just now Zhongping boiled a pot full of face washing water in the pot, which is enough for the whole family to wash. At that time, he didn't feel hot, so he put firewood into the stove desperately." , the water in the pot has been boiled more than ten times. After eating a meal, I came here, and as you said, the kang is really hot."

Zhaodi lay on the bed excitedly, feeling as if she had suddenly lived in a fairy palace, her heart was so beautiful.Seeing her like this, Yingniang couldn't help feeling happy.

"Sister-in-law, do you know that since I was a child, my natal family was so poor that I had to worry about three meals a day, and I was often so hungry that I couldn't sleep all night. In winter, many frail old people couldn't bear it and died of freezing every year. I really didn’t expect that one day I would live such a good life. Every meal is full, I can wear nice clothes, and I can sleep on the kang in winter. I don’t know that I still need what."

As Zhaodi talked, her eyes turned red. She felt that this day was happiness, and she was so happy that she wanted to cry, "Sister-in-law, I owe this to you and elder brother. You are capable and can make money, and elder brother can grow soybeans." If it weren't for the two of you, our family would have lived such a good life.

Yingniang could understand her feelings very well, and smiled slightly: "You didn't rely on me and Boming, and the soybeans were not grown by Boming alone. You relied on Zhongping's blessing, because he was the one who left you behind at that time." , if it wasn't for him, you don't know which man you are married to now."

"Actually, I know that I have been blessed by Zhongping, but I am too embarrassed to say it. You don't know, usually I want to say something sweet to him, but he still thinks I'm tired of it, saying that it makes me feel numb and uncomfortable. "Zhaodi said in shame.

Zhaodi actually knew a little bit, but seeing Zhongping being so rigid, she was too embarrassed to take the initiative as a woman.Now that the baby is about to be born, there is no need to talk about it, but she thinks that she also wants Zhongping to caress her more physically and sweeter in words.She has a more delicate mind, while Zhongping is more rough and reticent. If she continues to be like this in the future, she will feel somewhat regretful.

She was thinking that when she gave birth to a child, she would ask her sister-in-law to tell her elder brother in a roundabout way, and then let her eldest brother tell Zhongping cryptically.She thinks that the husband and wife should be more intimate and comforting, that kind of direct way, she sometimes feels a bit barbaric.She knew that Zhongping had her in his heart, but he didn't understand it.

Seeing that Zhaodi suddenly lost her mind, Yingniang knew that she must be thinking about her and Zhongping at this moment.Yingniang touched the heated kang, "Well, it's really hot, and now my legs and feet can sleep warm at night. Let's sew some thick cotton curtains in the next few days, so that the heat in the room won't escape easily. From now on, when I sit on the kang and weave clothes, I won’t feel cold anymore.”

"Do you have to spend a lot of money to buy materials to make three thick cotton curtains?" When Zhaodi heard that it would cost money again, her thoughts changed completely.She felt that the family was spending too much money these days. She had always been a person who was not willing to spend money. Seeing that money was being spent quickly, she always felt uneasy.

"It doesn't matter how much money we earn. Isn't that what we earn to spend? To spend money is to live a more comfortable life. What can make the house warm is that the money is spent for what it is. If you save money in It doesn’t move there, but life is still very tight and poor, isn’t this money earned for nothing?” Yingniang said that she hoped that Zhao Di would not pay too much attention to spending money, earning money is to live a good life, but Not to save money.

Zhaodi seemed to have realized something, "It's true, if you save this money, you can't conceive and give birth like a cow, so you can give out small money."

Yingniang couldn't help laughing, Zhaodi said that she could think about everything about cows and cubs.

When Yingniang came to his room, Boming had already prepared hot water, and asked Yingniang to soak his feet together.After soaking, the two climbed onto the kang, feeling really comfortable and warm.

Bo Ming rolled on it a few times like a child, "Ms. Ying, I can't even feel that it's winter when I lie on it."

Yingniang lay down comfortably on her back, "Why isn't it cold winter? The day after tomorrow will be the Laba Festival. How about going to the town tomorrow to buy red dates, sesame seeds, white fungus, lilies, glutinous rice, and red beans? We have peanuts and sorghum at home." There are exactly eight types of rice, and the next morning, we can cook a big pot of authentic Moba porridge at home, which is enough for the whole family to eat for three meals. Zhongping and Shuchang said that Nanshan will have a day off in the future, so the whole family can enjoy it .”

Bo Ming was concentrating on something, and lay down beside Yingniang, "Let's buy some more, I want to send some to the Foyun Temple, so that Master and brothers can also have a meal of Laba porridge."

Yingniang moved her body and snuggled into Bo Ming's arms, "You are lucky to have a master like Kongxuan, and your master will be very pleased to have an apprentice like you. You always think about them in everything you do."

Bo Ming suddenly turned sideways and pushed Yingniang under him, "Since I have you, they have only occupied a small place in my heart, and you have taken up all the other places. You are so domineering."

Yingniang thought it was funny when she heard it, but her heart was warm, much warmer than this kang, "Where is my domineering, and it's not that I insist on occupying it, it's obviously you who are passionate, okay?"

At this time, Bo Ming took off his clothes, leaving only his underwear and underwear.Yingniang hurriedly pulled the quilt over to cover him, "It's winter, even though there is a kang, but you have to be careful, it's not good to get sick from the cold."

Bo Ming ravaged Ying Niang in bed for a while.

A few days ago, because the bed was cold, I was timid to do anything.This time, because the kang was warm, the two of them could let go, so they had a long battle again and again.

Yingniang suddenly remembered a sentence, "three acres of land, a cow, a child, a wife, and a hot kang head." She understood that the hot kang head has this effect, and this sentence really has a deep meaning.

Maybe it was because of sleeping on the hot kang that night, everyone in the family woke up later than usual, so comfortable that they didn't want to get up.

It was still Shuchang who wanted to go to Nanshan early and be the first to get up.Because he wants to see Yinyue sooner, recently he can see Yinyue almost every day, sometimes he is divided into work, one is in the north and the other is in the south, when he can't see Yinyue, he will I feel bad all over.

Boming proposed several times to dig for him in Nanshan Mountain for a few days, but he refused.Bo Ming also understood his thoughts, so he let him go.Boming asked Zhongping to replace him for a few more days, and Zhongping promised that he would not come again after Laba.

Because Zhaodi is due to give birth in more than 30 days, when Zhongping is working outside, sometimes he is not at ease, fearing that the baby will be born early or something unexpected will happen.After Laba, he plans to stay at home and watch over Zhaodi.

Seeing that everyone got up late, Shuchang went to the kitchen to make breakfast. Halfway through, the whole family woke up one after another.

Seeing that Shuchang got up to make breakfast, Yingniang laughed at him, "You are in such a hurry, must you want to see Yinyue sooner? You see each other every day, can't you see enough?"

Shuchang blushed and stirred the pot, "Sister-in-law always makes fun of me."

Just as he was talking, Liang Zi from the second uncle's family entered the yard.Seeing that his complexion is not good, Yingniang seems to have something on her mind.

Liang Zi didn't say it directly, he just said that he came to see if Kang was doing well, and his family also remembered a few.After seeing the kang, he thought it was good, and said that he would also find that mason Jiang to build the kang.Yingniang saw that he was hesitant to speak after he finished speaking, so she asked bluntly: "Liang Zi, what's the matter with you?"

Liang Zi said hesitantly, "I haven't had much work at home recently, so I took my youngest to visit my mother in the county these few days. My mother has lost weight in the past few months. You know, she used to How chubby. Seeing that it is almost the end of the year, which one is not lively? My family only has three men, big and small. In this winter, the house is extremely deserted. I heard that the Zhen family has a very good relationship with the magistrate, You used to be the leader of his family, presumably you were valued by the Zhen family, why did you quit recently? Can you help out and let the county magistrate..."

Before Liang Zi finished speaking, Yingniang had already understood.Liang Zi wanted her to help her to release her mother from prison to celebrate the New Year, or instead of three years in prison, it would be better to release her back a year or so earlier.

Yingniang said in embarrassment: "I... have fallen out with the Zhen family, and I can't ask for help."

Liang Zi was a little discouraged when he heard this, "I heard that you have a good relationship with an Aunt Yao who came out of the palace. I don't know...does she have connections? Don't worry, as long as I can save my mother from being locked up for a few days, I can transfer the money from the family to you." Take it all out, my family has saved nearly [-] Wenli over the years."
