The ancient daily life of a farmer's daughter-in-law

Chapter 16

Uncle Zhang pointed to his lame leg, and greeted Li Qingnuan kindly: "Li's daughter-in-law, that girl, if you don't mind it, you can get on the donkey cart, anyway, you can order food in the cart. My lame leg also I won't go down."

He declined a few words, and finally saw that Uncle Zhang was also running for Tian Tieshi's face.At the beginning, Tian Tieshi saved Uncle Zhang's life, but the village had been noisy for more than half a year.So she dragged Li Qingnuan to sit on the simple wooden board.

When they arrived at the entrance of the town, Uncle Zhang stopped the donkey and told him familiarly that he had nothing to do today and would wait for them at the entrance of the town after delivering the food.After a while, if they buy a lot of things in the town, don't waste money on hiring an ox cart, just go to the tailor shop and ask Zhang Defa to help move them here.

This is probably the simplicity and kindness of the people in the countryside, and they will never shrink back when they can help others.Looking at the benevolent Uncle Zhang, although Li Qingnuan was a little embarrassed, he also deeply felt the simple feelings here.

Most of the markets in mountain villages and small towns are held before noon, that is, from the moment the sun rises, the collection starts at noon.So when Li Qingnuan and the others came here, it was the busiest time of the market, and there were many folks from ten miles and eight villages squatting on the side of the road carrying game and vegetables, and there were even vendors and buyers outside. Needle and thread-savvy peddlers shuttled through the crowd carrying loads of goods.

"Most of us newlyweds have to prepare one red and one green quilt, two quilts, a basin, and a mirror. We also need to tear some red cloth to make some handkerchiefs, which will be thrown out at the intersection on the wedding day. , in order to get married and not go astray." He led Li Qingnuan through the crowd, whispering about what they were going to buy today.Because she knew that Mrs. Wang would never prepare these items for my sister-in-law.And as the elder sister-in-law, I should take responsibility no matter what, lest my sister-in-law become a joke in the village.

Li Qingnuan nodded quickly. Although she had been in love in her previous life, she had never experienced marriage, and if she had married that scumbag back then, she would have held a Western-style wedding in a hotel or church.So at this moment, the little ink in her stomach is considered pitifully small.

Quietly walking behind her sister-in-law, she would occasionally meet her daughter-in-law and auntie from the same village, and she would just smile shyly and call people according to the seniority she remembered.But it was her timidity that made those aunts and sisters-in-law feel sad.Compared to that girl from the Li family, Xiu'e, this Li Qingnuan was really a poor little girl who was neither loved by her mother nor her parents.Seeing her shy expression now, the aunts immediately smiled kindly.

There are some good things that like to gossip, seeing that it was Mrs. He who brought Li Qingnuan to the fair to buy those wedding things, and gossip was inevitable when they went back.However, it was rumored that the Wang family was not kind. He accepted a gift from Tian Tiezhu and didn't help Li Qingnuan take care of it.If this gossip spreads too much, it will always change. Those crap things about the mother and daughter of the Wang family making Qing Nuan to be a cow and a horse have been rummaged again and again.What's more, some people even scolded old man Li for not being a thing.

Of course, these are things for later.In short, Li Qingnuan, who was begging for life under the hands of a shrew, once again became the object of sympathy from the villagers based on her tragic experience in the past seventeen or eighteen years, and the matter of Wang's marriage proposal this time.

Mrs. Zhang naturally also heard these rumors. She originally thought that marrying a daughter-in-law with so much money was unfilial.That vain money, plus things, can completely buy a daughter-in-law from the city and come back.But this time, she married a yellow-haired girl who was not welcomed by her family and who was thin and fainted several times.With Li Qingnuan's appearance, he is not a person who can work in the fields.

Thinking of this, she couldn't sit still.In addition to Xiao Zhang's instigation, and the old man Tian sighed and lamented that he lost several taels of silver every day.So before Tian Tieshi, who went to the market, came back, she slapped the table and had to go to Li's house to find the widow Wang to get the money back.

Seeing Mrs. Zhang going out with her sleeves rolled up, Mrs. Zhang and the second child exchanged knowing glances.The old man Tian sat cross-legged on the top of the kang, patted the table and told the second son, "Go to the entrance of the village and watch. As soon as the boss comes back, hurry up and drag your mother back."

Money is important, but you have to have your life to get it back.He still remembered what that kid Tieshi said, if he was really pushed, the big tile house would probably be lost.

When Tian Jiacheng got the words, he stood up from the kang as soon as he grunted, responded with a smile, turned and ran out the door.After seeing that everything was arranged, Old Man Tian went out to the wheat field with his hands behind his back. In a short time, the wheat should be harvested.Before the wheat is harvested, it's better to let Tie Shi get married, so as to save time and money.

Seeing the heavy wheat ears on the two acres of the best quality field, Old Man Tian squatted on the ridge in satisfaction.But at the moment, he was happy in his heart, and dreamed that Mrs. Zhang would get back the money, and at the same time, he had a good harvest in the wheat field, but he didn't notice that there were so few wheat trees in the field that were withered and yellow from their roots.If he notices and pulls out a tree, he will probably be surprised, how the good wheat has withered even its roots!
