Leisurely ancient daily life

Chapter 116 News
"That's pretty good." You Ran echoed with a soft smile.

Immediately, the two of them walked towards the old banyan tree, and there were many people along the way.

When the two of them were far away, they heard the women sitting under the tree talking and laughing.

"Has your family fallen asleep?" A young daughter-in-law asked, knocking on melon seeds.

"He fell asleep, but he was very tired." The young daughter-in-law was sewing winter clothes, and she responded with a smile without raising her head.

"Yo, is that right? I didn't say that, your guy really needs to make up, he's very weak."

Not far away, a woman who was older than a year was poohing melon seeds, looked at the little daughter-in-law hahaha, then threatened to smile at her: "I can't compare it with the Dai family. They kept yelling in the morning. Even guarding the ground for three days is not a problem."

"Yo, really, why don't you ask him to replace my house? My house is a bit out of date, so I just walked back and forth in the village for dozens of times. I can't stand it. It's too empty. Your house I'm not tired, so next time he will go to my house, right?"

The little daughter-in-law put away the end of the thread, and while cutting the thread with scissors, she also raised her voice and replied with a smile, but her tone was not so kind.

This man of his own family felt sorry for him. His family's first round was to patrol the village, but it was much more tiring than those outside the village.

Hearing that the man in his family was taken out to stab others, the little daughter-in-law also quickly spoke up to make a rescue:

"What's the matter, auntie, don't make fun of my family. You don't know him, but he likes to talk nonsense. The thunder is loud and the rain is little. No, he just fell asleep when he got back. The snoring sound is terrible. big."

Who is not tired after staying up all night.

The woman smiled awkwardly when she heard this, and immediately changed the subject: "Hey, by the way, have you heard about it? This morning, my sister-in-law Osmanthus Flower said that last night, the food in our next-door village was squandered again."

Another woman was surprised when she heard that, "What's going on here?"

Seeing someone responding, the woman immediately got excited: "Didn't the Zhengjia Village in the east be the most frenzied a few days ago? Others are better, but yesterday I heard that the food in Xiaogou Village next door to us is also poor. Got ripped off."

The woman who just arrived said again: "Hey, why haven't the grains in this field been collected quickly?"

Then the woman raised her voice and said: "Oh, you think everyone moves as quickly as we do, but there are also early harvesters, and they are all right, and those who are lazy are the ones who have trouble. "

At this moment, another young daughter-in-law said: "I heard from Aunt Osmanthus that she told them yesterday that our village will keep people on duty at night, but they dare not come out of the village unless they are bitten and there is no cure." , so they all hid at home, locked the door, and didn’t even want food.”

Then the woman sneered sharply: "Yo, I can't blame anyone else, they don't want food, don't they?"

Suddenly, another woman who just came over said solemnly: "By the way, do you know? The next village lost a baby yesterday."

As soon as the words fell, everyone exclaimed again: "There is such a thing!?"

The woman said again: "Really, I'm not very old, only four or five years old."

It was heard that everyone put down their work and started discussing.

……

Listening to the words of these women and daughters-in-law, You Ran and Liu Shi couldn't help frowning, met their eyes, did not speak, just passed by quietly, and entered the Liang Family Department Store.

When the two entered, they saw that not only Shen Xia was in the store, but also two Mongolian men were talking to Shi Shi.

Seeing the two of them coming, Shen Xia couldn't help saying hello with a smile: "Ran'er and Lin Feng's family are here?"

Leisurely withdrew her scrutinizing gaze, and called out with a smile: "Aunt Shen."

Liu's also greeted leisurely, but she looked absent-minded and smiled reluctantly.

Shen Xia behind the cabinet smiled amiably, and said: "Tell me, what's the shortcoming? I'll get it for you."

Leisurely smiled and said, "I want to buy some milk powder."

Only then did Liu come back to her senses and echoed, "Then give me a rattle."

When Shen Xia heard this, she naturally agreed, and immediately went to fetch things for the two of them.

After handing the things to the two of them, seeing Liu's appearance like this, Shen Xia understood in her heart, and said again: "Are you going to Mrs. Hong's?"

It's both milk powder and a rattle, both of which belong to children, leisurely and there is no shortage of milk powder, she bought enough before, so she doesn't need to buy any more.

And Liu's is usually close to Hong's sister-in-law, and now she looks like this, so it is not difficult for Shen Xia to guess.

Both Youran and Liu Shi nodded in response when they heard this, "Yes."

Shen Xia only sighed: "This world is really frustrating." Immediately, she just picked up some more snacks, wrapped them up and handed them to the two of them: "I originally planned to go, but I don't have time, so this snack is fine." It's my heart, you can give it to her for me by the way."

The two of Youran naturally agreed.

After they came out of Liang's department store, the people under the old banyan tree stopped discussing the lost child, and quickly changed to a new topic.

But Liu's slightly frowning brows still did not loosen, and she whispered to You Ran beside her uneasy, "Well, look. These things happen one after another recently, but it makes me flustered." very."

You Ran understands her in her heart, because she is flustered too, but it is useless to be afraid of some things, but she can't say this directly, she just took Liu's arm, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, uncle didn't arrange it. It's fine, it'll be fine."

Liu Shi just let out a long sigh and remained silent.

There are not many people coming and going on the road, and Lihua Village is not as tense as other villages.

Although it was cold, it was sunny.

The two of them arrived at the west side of the village, Hong's house in a short while.

Before the two of them pushed the yard away, they heard the crying of a woman and a very familiar voice from inside.

".We can't ignore him in this matter. It's just a coincidence that the new boss in our town took office this year. We got acquainted with him because of the food tax.

Lin Feng's child also asked, most of these people who got the plague starved to death, or were beaten to death.

Let's try to spend some money, and feed him three meals a day with the yamen servants, so we can support him, maybe those doctors will find a way someday."

Jiang's voice is gentle and firm, which makes people feel hopeful, let alone the desperate mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Immediately, the two of You Ran heard an older voice choked with sobs: "Sister-in-law Jiang, look, look, I still don't accept you.. You still help me like this, I really have no face..."

There was crying and shame in the woman's voice, and she whimpered endlessly after she finished speaking.

Beside him was a younger voice sobbing non-stop, unable to even speak.

Jiang couldn't help but her eyes turned red, and she gently comforted her: "Don't think so, it's all an overnight feud from a village, and we don't see each other every day, how can we bear to see that child Hong Da So it’s gone. Don’t worry about the money, I’ll cover it for you first, people matter.”
