Wang family small peasant girl

Chapter 37

After a while, Mrs. Zhou came back to the house, took a bench and sat down beside the kang, put the needlework basket on the kang, picked up the smock she was pinching, turned on the lamp wick a little, and then lit up. The lights are sewn up.

Knowing that Zhang Yun had just woken up, she would definitely be sleepy, so Zhou sewed and talked to her softly. The mother and daughter chatted one after another. He bit off the end of the thread with his mouth, put down the needle and thread, stretched out his hand and beat his waist a few times, then shook the smock that had been sewn, held it close to his eyes and looked carefully, to see if there was anything that was not sewn properly and whether the size was suitable.

Zhang Yun also looked over, judging from the size of the smock, it should be for Zhang Xing, and the material does not look like new, guess it is an old smock that the eldest brother can't wear, it is considered to be his New Year's clothes .

"Mother, didn't you pull a few feet of cloth from the town last time? Why don't you make new clothes for Xingzi?" Zhang Yun recalled that a few days ago, the Zhou family looked for a cloth shop and went to pull some cloth. , Judging by the color of the fabric, it should be made for men, but now I see her changing clothes, I don't think it's a bit strange.

"If you make it for Xingzi, if you can't wear it next year, you'll have to put it in the bottom of the box. It's not worth it. I've already given those cloths to your grandfather and Cheng Zi. If Xingzi wants to make them, I won't make new ones." Just change it." Zhou looked at the clothes in his hand, and without raising his head, he answered a few words casually.

Hearing these words, Zhang Yun remembered that when he was a child, even in modern rural areas, there were still people who kept the custom of changing the clothes of the older brothers and sisters to smaller ones for younger siblings, so as to save some money on fabrics.

Although I know it is reasonable in my heart, but think about it, children are looking forward to the New Year, not just looking forward to delicious snacks, but also looking forward to new clothes. It is impossible for a frugal family not to be disappointed.

It is naturally impossible for Zhang Yun to say these words to the Zhou family, but he is thinking in his heart that the family has to work harder, earn more money, and strive to wait until next year for the New Year. With new clothes, everyone is happy to be happy.

Zhang Yun pondered in his heart, stopped talking, and gradually yawned, his eyelids slowly closed. Mrs. Zhou looked at the smock carefully, and saw that there was nothing wrong with it. She was about to talk to her daughter, but she turned her head and saw that she was already closed. With eyes closed, he stood up, lightly helped to cover the quilt again, then put the smock on his shoulders, took the lamp and the sewing basket with both hands, and quietly left the house.

After waking up from this sleep, it was already bright daylight. Zhang Yun stretched out in bed, and felt that the pain in her body was better. However, the farmer had to get up early all year round. It would be the first month, and her body was not very comfortable. I became a little lazy, didn't get up, but continued to nest in the warm quilt, doing nothing, just lying like this, I felt happy.

I don't know how long she had been lying in the bed, but Zhou opened the door and came in. Seeing Zhang Yun's eyes open, she smiled and said, "Yun'er, Xiaojuan is here."

Zhang Yun hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw Chang Juan rushing out from behind Mrs. Zhou, "Your mother said, you have a cold, and it's a Chinese New Year's day, and you actually want to lie on the kang. If you want to change me, I will have to jump." "Chang Juan ran to the edge of the kang, and before she could sit down, she finished yelling in one breath.

"That is, why would your mother call you a skinny monkey? You are like monkeys all over the mountain, running around all day long. How can you have any free time?" Zhang Yun scolded solemnly on his face, but his heart was full. Laughing, seeing Chang Juan's wide-eyed eyes, couldn't hold back for a moment, burst out laughing.

Chang Juan sat down on the edge of the kang, poked her forehead with her finger, and said angrily: "It's rare for me to come out, without my mother reading, you come to join me, you want to be my second mother, wait You recover from illness, see if I don't beat you."

"Nonsense, I don't want such a difficult girl like you." Zhang Yun replied with a smile, and was about to sit up.

Chang Juan thought that what she said was indeed nonsense, so she laughed along with her. Seeing her move to get up, she hurried up to hold her down, and said with a smile: "Don't get up, I'm not a guest, you lie down and I Sit down and don't delay talking, if you get up like this and get seriously ill, that's fine, listen to me, lie down quickly."

Perhaps it was because Chang Juan was running and dancing all the year round, she was taller than other girls, and her hands were strong, so Zhang Yun couldn't even sit up, so she had to lie down.

As soon as Zhang Yun lay back on the kang, Mrs. Zhou came in again, holding two large bowls in his hands, filled with all kinds of food, "Juanzi, keep these as snacks, don't be polite, eat more." Then he used his foot to move the bench in the corner, trying to move it to the side of the kang.

Chang Juan hurriedly got up and ran over to pick up the bench, walked to the edge of the kang and put it down, and said with a smile: "Hey, ma'am, I will definitely eat more, who made Yun'er only look at it but not eat it, her eyes are so greedy." .”

Mrs. Zhou started to laugh, Chang Juan has always been bright and cheerful, she likes it very much, and immediately joked: "Okay, let her be greedy, and if she gets anxious, she will be cured soon. At that time Ma'am, thank you very much."

When Zhang Yun saw his mother and best friend making fun of her together, he thought it was funny, and couldn't help giggling, Zhou Shi and Chang Juan also laughed, "You guys talk, I won't be in the way here." Zhou Shi After putting down all the bowls, he turned around and went out of the house. Just as he walked to the door, he suddenly turned his head and said, "Really, those bombing bells, Xiaojuan, please take some back, this thing takes a lot of work." , you sent so much at once, how dare we accept it."

"Auntie, I'm not polite. Why are you being polite to me instead? Just keep it. If I want to bring some back, my mother will think that I stole the rest and didn't send it over. Don't want me to be scolded." Chang Juan put on a sad face as she spoke, and Zhou naturally knew that she was joking, so she stopped rejecting it after thinking about it, and said with a smile: "In this case, the aunt will accept it and go back Finally, thank your mother for me."

"Hey." Chang Juan responded bluntly, with a smile on her face again, and Mrs. Zhou left the house without further delay.When Mrs. Zhou closed the door, Chang Juan looked at the eaters, and seeing the various snacks, she couldn't help but squinted her eyes, "Ah, your home has so many delicious foods, and fried hemp leaves. I like to eat it the most." Shouting, he stretched his hand into the bowl, picked up the fried hemp leaf and threw it into his mouth, and began to bite, and didn't have time for the other hand, so he grabbed a handful of fried beans in his hand.

"Your fried hemp leaves are salty. It's delicious like this, better than sweet ones." Chang Juan bit her mouth and didn't hesitate to speak, she muttered the words.

Zhang Yun said with a smile: "If you like it, just pretend to take some away when you go back later." Chang Juan was not polite, and immediately nodded with a smile.

The two were talking about eating, when the door was pushed open again, Mrs. Zhou came in and said with a smile: "Chunhua, Xiuhua, and Xiaocui are here too." Then he shouted out: "Come in quickly, eat. All the things are placed in the house, you can eat as much as you want, if you don’t have enough, then take it.”

"Hey, ma'am."

"Auntie, stop calling us."

Several girls came into the house with smiles, Chang Juan jumped up, ran up to hold Xiao Cui, and said with a smile, "Why are you here too?" It's also pretty good on weekdays.

"Brother Cheng Zi sent a lot of fried rice cakes yesterday, and today my mother asked me to bring some peanut candy over. It happened that my elder brother and Shuan Zi also wanted to come over to play with Brother Cheng Zi and Xing Zi, so I followed along." Cui smiled and said, Chang Juan immediately pulled her over to sit down, and beckoned Chunhua and Xiuhua to sit there too, the two sisters of the Wang family often played together on weekdays, and they knew each other very well.

There were so many girls in the house, Zhang Yun couldn't sleep in the quilt anymore, so he sat up and quickly put on the padded jacket, Chang Juan hurriedly put pillows on her so that she could lean on the kang head comfortably.

A room full of children, how could they be quiet, all chattered and laughed for a while, their hands were not idle, they grabbed the snacks in the bowl, and ate happily, chatting and eating well No, not to mention how lively the room is.

Zhang Yun leaned on the kang and listened to them with a smile. Most of the talk was about who's girl got a flowered dress, whose daughter-in-law bought beautiful silk flowers, and whose little lady put red rouge on. At any age, girls loved to talk about it. Hearing these words, Zhang Yun couldn't help but think of the situation in the university dormitory.

Although the topics are similar, but Zhang Yun is a little older after all, and his throat is a little hoarse due to a cold, so he only interjects a few words, most of the time he listens, and when he talks about the excitement, he laughs along with him. Chang Juan beside her didn't seem to like these topics very much, and she also listened more and talked less.

"Didn't you see that Uncle Zao's daughter-in-law is quite old, but she also put on rouge, and her whole face was as red as a monkey's butt, not to mention how ridiculous it is." Xiaocui yelled about today Seeing things earlier, all the girls laughed for a while.

When the room was full of laughter, Mrs. Zhou opened the door and came in and said, "Yun'er, get up quickly and put on your jacket. When your father went to find Dr. Lin, he met Dr. Xiao Hong and said that Dr. Lin had returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors. Come back three times, no, doctor Xiao Hong followed and said he was taking your pulse, he is still sitting in the main room right now, please pack up quickly so that I can let him in." As he muttered, he saw that Zhang Yun was already dressed Leaning neatly on the kang, he turned around and left.

This time, the girls didn't dare to talk and laugh loudly anymore, they all stopped laughing, took a long bench and sat down in a corner beside the kang, and all of a sudden they got into order.

As soon as the girls sat down, Mrs. Zhou led Hong Cheng in, "Come in, Doctor Xiao Hong, this trip is really troublesome for you."

"Auntie, don't say that. I don't have many chances to see a doctor on weekdays. I can practice my hands. I have to thank uncle and auntie. I don't dislike my poor medical skills." Hong Cheng stepped into the room as he spoke, and looked up inadvertently. , I saw a room full of girls, I was taken aback, a little unnatural, a faint flush rose up the back of my neck.

"Where, whoever is born with doctor Lin's medical skills has to learn it slowly. After learning it, it is the good fortune of our fellow villagers. There is no reason to dislike it." Zhou said with a smile immediately, and held a square stool. Come here and let Hong Cheng sit by the side of the Kang.

Hong Cheng sat down on the square stool, took off the medicine box on his shoulders, put it on the kang, opened it, took out the wrist pillow, and motioned Zhang Yun to put his hand on it.

At this moment, the girls who were still rustling beside them just now stopped talking, and the room became quiet. Hong Cheng concentrated on examining the pulse, then looked at Zhang Yun's face, and asked her to stick out her tongue, and see Looking at the coating on his tongue, he asked some questions before saying: "It's indeed typhoid fever, it's not serious, I'll go back right now, get some medicine, and send it over later, boil it and drink it for three or four days and it'll be almost healed."

After Hong Cheng finished speaking, he put away the wrist pillow and put it back into the medicine box, stood up after reciting it, hesitated for a while, and then said: "If you are sick, it is best to rest, don't eat food that gets angry, and talk less. Get some rest."

As soon as the words fell, Chang Juan couldn't help but retorted: "Doctor Xiao Hong, you mean we are arguing, right? You have never met a girl when you go to the doctor on weekdays, who said there are too many girls?" It must be noisy, hmph, it’s more strange than rare.”

Hong Cheng was so pushed that he couldn't speak, his face turned red, and he hurriedly turned around and left the room without replying a word. The panicked expression made all the girls in the room burst into laughter stand up.

Even though the words were pushed through, everyone laughed a lot, but they still knew how to measure. Hong Cheng's words were indeed reasonable, so after laughing enough, they all got up and said goodbye, and told Zhang Yun to rest and recuperate. Okay let's play together again.
