The peasant's daughter-in-law of crossing

Chapter 64

After lunch and a short rest, Bo Ming took Ying Niang to Gu'ao.He was still holding a rope, a sickle, etc., and planned to bring back a load of reeds.

Gu'ao is located in the middle of several adjacent towns, it is far from Xuejia Village, and Yingniang can still walk down.In the past, she was a good hand in farm work, and when she walked, her feet felt windy.It's just that I haven't done farm work in the past year, and I'm pregnant again recently, so it's not too bad.

Birming stopped from time to time and waited for her to join. Yingniang sighed as she walked: "It's better to go out for a walk, I haven't been so relaxed for a long time. You see, there are lush greenery everywhere, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the flowers are blooming. What a beautiful scenery." what."

The scenery here is fresh and pleasant, Yingniang was still thinking in her heart, if it is placed in modern times and developed, it can be a holiday villa.Of course, this is not possible in ancient times.

Seeing that Yingniang looked like a literati traveling in mountains and rivers, Boming couldn't help laughing, and said, "Yingniang, you are becoming less and less like a peasant woman, and you are more like a lady."

Yingniang sneered, "If you want to say I'm hypocritical, just say so."

When Boming saw that she was in a good mood, he also sighed, "In the past year, you haven't had a good rest. You are not worrying about family affairs every day, but you are thinking about making money. It is really hard for you."

"Are you sour? It's not hard work to say such things." Yingniang picked off a flower on the side of the road and put it in her nose to smell it.

"Birming, do you still remember, we just got married at this time last year, and you took me to the mountain to cut firewood. Our orchids were dug at that time."

Yingniang felt emotional in her heart, this year has passed so quickly, she and Bo Ming have both married for one year.

When Bo Ming heard Yingniang talk about getting married last year, he sank into his own thoughts, recalling his silly appearance in the bridal chamber, and couldn't help but giggle.

"What are you laughing at?" Yingniang looked at him.

Birming blushed for a while and shook his head, "I'm not laughing at anything."

In fact, Yingniang guessed what he was thinking, and she could almost grasp the general idea of ​​Birming's little thoughts. "When we go home and pass by the town later, we will buy a jug of wine. We have been married for a whole year, so let's celebrate it. It just so happens that you also bought beef, drinking and eating beef, you can have a good time."

"Okay. But, you can't drink if you're fit, and I'm drunk after just one drink."

"Just take a few sips and I'll be fine."

The two came to Gu'ao, because there are mountains on all sides, and the spring water flowing down from the mountains is so clear that people can see it.Yingniang sat by the water and petted her face, then washed her face, and then sat there to watch the scenery.

Looking at the reeds, Boming was very happy at first, but then he became sad. He didn't use a sickle to cut them, because the reeds were too tender.

He came to Yingniang and sat down, "Wait another month to cut. Although green reeds can also be used for weaving mats, they are too tender. Even if they are taken home and dried, they will turn yellow, and they will be easily broken." Yes. The cattail grass on the other end probably hasn’t grown yet, so it looks like it’s a waste of time.”

Yingniang felt comfortable being blown by a gust of wind, "It's not in vain, isn't this a fun trip?"

They played in the green mountains and streams for a long time before starting to go home.When passing by the town, the two of them went to buy a pot of wine, but they ran into the old man in the village. He was the bachelor who the second aunt had said was talking too affectionately with Lu Cui by the pond.He is 32 years old this year and hasn't married yet. Everyone thinks that he will be celibate for the rest of his life.

Lao Que not only bought several jugs of wine, but also bought many other things.His family was extremely poor, and Bo Ming was quite surprised that he was willing to spend so much money today.

Bo Ming stepped forward to say hello, "Brother Lao Que, are you going to have a happy event? Buy these good things."

"Yes... there is a happy event." Lao Que was both happy and distressed, with a complicated expression.Buying these things cost him the money he saved this year. He is already a bit lazy, so it would be nice if he could save money.This is all spent, how can I not feel bad.

Yingniang then jokingly asked: "Could it be that you want to marry a new wife?" She just asked casually, but she didn't take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, Lao Que nodded, "Yes, we are going to get married at the end of this month."

Yingniang and Bo Ming were stunned at the same time, they never heard that he was engaged, why are they about to get married suddenly?
"Which family is the girl from?" Yingniang asked curiously.She felt that if any family married a good girl to this man who could be an uncle, and he was lazy, poor and sloppy, it would be a fool.

Lao Que's smile froze for a moment, "It's not a girl, it's Lu Cui."

"Lu Cui?" Yingniang thought she heard it wrong, "You mean the Lu Cui who was divorced by Liang Zi?"

With a red face on his face, Lao Que said embarrassedly: "It's her, is there anyone else named Lu Cui?"

The last time Lucui touched the ashes on Yingniang's nose, she was very angry.Later, Bo Ming's second uncle told her that Liang Zi didn't want her to be a child because she caused the father and son to quarrel and separate the family, and it was not good for him as a father to take her home.

Lucui saw that she was really desperate, and she didn't have the courage to go to other places to ask for a living as Yingniang said.When she saw Lao Que at the entrance of the village, she decided to break the jar.Thinking that Lao Que was very interesting to her before, he probably wouldn't reject her.

She greeted him so proactively, to Lao Que, it was like rain after a long drought.He has neither old nor young, but he has two younger sisters, but they both married into neighboring towns.The families of the two younger sisters are also very poor, and they can't help him much.

For a poor man like him, there is a woman who is willing to follow him, so why bother, he agreed to marry her that night.

In order not to lose face for her second marriage, Lucui insisted on having him hold a banquet, saying that he could only touch her after she got married and entered the bridal chamber.A man in his 30s who has never touched a woman, when he heard this, he would naturally follow suit. He would do anything for that night's bridal chamber.

What else could Yingniang and Bo Ming say besides congratulating him?I can only buy good wine and go home with me.

When I got home, Liang Zi came to deliver bird eggs to their house. While working, he dug out a bird's nest from a tree next to his home.Because Boming gave him fruit at noon, as a courtesy, he thought of sending some bird eggs, saying it was to make up for his sister-in-law.

Bo Ming asked him if he knew about Lu Cui, but Liang Zi really didn't know about it.Hearing what Bo Ming said, he was stunned on the spot, and then he spat, "Is she bewitched? Does she have to marry to Xuejia Village? She is still old and lacking, and she can soon be her father." She is not ashamed, but I am ashamed too!"

Bo Ming persuaded: "Don't be angry. Since you divorced her, it's not up to you if she wants to marry anyone now. Since you're in the same village, you won't be able to look up when you bow your head. Lao Que will not be happy to hear her cursing and cursing, and they still have a wedding party."

Liang Zi snorted, "Ghosts are willing to drink their wedding wine."

"Liangzi, I heard that someone told you a family relationship, when will it be settled?" Yingniang asked.

Speaking of this, Liang Zi's face became even more ugly, "What are you talking about, the woman's family asked a matchmaker to come back yesterday."

Yingniang and Boming looked at each other two by two, wondering what happened again.Liang Zi sighed and said: "People heard that I live in a wooden shed, and I have a younger brother with me. When the family was separated, I didn't get any money. After I got married, I didn't even have a decent house to live in, so I was scared away."

Yingniang and Boming didn't say anything for a while, thinking about it, which girl would like to live with him in the wooden shed.

"Don't worry, when life gets better, you will definitely be able to marry a good relative. You are only nineteen, still young." Yingniang comforted.

Liang Zi nodded, accepting Yingniang's consolation.Then he suddenly sighed, "It doesn't matter if you marry or not, women are really a big trouble."

He left after speaking.Yingniang couldn't help asking Bo Ming, "Do you think women are a big trouble?"

Birming laughed: "Some women may be, but you are not."

At this time, Zhongping and Jiwang came back with hoes on their shoulders, and Yingniang was busy serving them beef.Boming thought that he had gone to Wuzhou for the past few days instead of digging the river in front of the village, so he told Zhongping that he would go tomorrow.

Zhongping nodded and said, "Okay, tomorrow I'm going to plant some peanuts in the land that was reclaimed. Brother, when will you plant them?"

"I'll plant them in the future. There's no rush. There are several jars of fruit in the cellar, and three jars of stewed beef at the bottom of the well. You usually remember to take them out and eat them."

Zhongping was eating fruit, "Sister-in-law gave enough for me and Zhaodi at noon. We are separated, and you bought these with your money. Zhaodi and I just have to try something new. Can make it your own."

Boming shot him a sideways look, "What nonsense are you talking about? Even if we are separated, we are still a family. Besides, we live in the same yard. Why should we divide our family?"

But Zhongping said with reason: "Normally, my sister-in-law would send some to my third brother's house for whatever we have at home, but Zhaodi and I always get as much as you. Even if we are brothers, we must be fair." Isn't it? Zhaodi and I have already taken advantage of you a lot, we can't go on like this, otherwise the third brother and Yinyue will think that you and sister-in-law are too partial to me and Zhaodi, and they will despise them."

Hearing this, Boming was quite moved. Since Shuchang moved there, he has only been there once, and Yingniang usually goes to see them.As the eldest brother, he hasn't spoken a few words to Shuchang recently, and the brothers seem to have become more and more distant.

Hearing what Zhongping said, he really felt that he was a bit biased.He thought about going to see Shuchang's house one day, and said to Zhongping: "Other things can be fair. As for this food, you don't have to distinguish between you and me."

Zhong Ping laughed while eating.

This dinner was a hearty meal, with wine, beef, and bird eggs, and two fried side dishes.Because Ji Wang was also there, Yingniang and Bo Ming were too embarrassed to say anything about celebrating the first anniversary of their marriage, but the three of them talked and laughed together, and they were very happy.

Birming's drinking capacity is indeed poor, mainly because he seldom drank alcohol when he was a child, and he never drank alcohol during the ten years he was a monk.Therefore, after returning to vulgarity, he was drunk after a drink.Unexpectedly, Ji Wang had a good capacity for alcohol, so he drank less than half of the pot.Ji Wang is the kind of cheerful and carefree person. While drinking, he tells interesting stories about digging rivers.

Afraid that he drank too much, Bo Ming insisted on covering the jug.When he stood up after eating, Bo Ming's body swayed a little, and Ying Niang and Ji Wang had to support him from left to right.

Ji Wang shook his head and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I'm fine after drinking so much, look at brother, he's done this after just one drink."

"As far as his drinking capacity is concerned, he is probably not as good as me." Although Yingniang only took a few drops, but thinking of her in her previous life, she was a person who didn't feel much after drinking three or four bottles of beer.

However, thinking that what Birming drank was a glass of white wine, it was probably no less potent than three or four bottles of beer.

It was the first time she had seen Boming drunk, his cheeks were as red as rouge, his eyes were hazy, and she thought it was rather silly.

Bo Ming was helped onto the kang, and Ying Niang helped him take off his shoes.When she was about to leave, Birming suddenly grabbed her with one hand and held her in his arms.Fortunately, Ji Wang went out, otherwise Yingniang would die of shame.

Yingniang struggled to get out, and was about to wash up, but Bo Ming hugged her arm tightly like a child.

I heard that some people would talk drunk when they drank too much, but Bo Ming was fine, he didn't say a word, and he didn't do any bad behavior, he just slept with his arms around Ying Niang, very quiet, he didn't even snort.

Yingniang insisted on lying down with him for a while, and slowly pulled out her arms while he was fast asleep, and then went to wash up.
