Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 2

Xia Junyan found it ridiculous.When she first wore it, she also thought that women in ancient times did not leave their homes. Now she understands that only ladies from big families are treated like this.Aren't the girls in the country always showing their faces, otherwise what about farm work?Her son is just a boy, and he didn't even win a scholar, but Li's airs are more than anyone else.

"Good medicine is bitter. Auntie's words are not pleasant, but it's for your own good to say these heartfelt words, you understand?"

Xia Junyan was worried that she would go on with such a long story, so she hurriedly said: "The third aunt is doing it for my own good, I know it."

"Hey! That's right!" Li Shi was overjoyed, and showed a concerned look again: "Your parents have already left, and it's not good for a girl to live in this village. I heard that you still have an uncle." , hurry up and go to him, if you are short of money on the road, Aunt Qian can still get this idea. You can do it yourself!"

I still heard about this uncle Xia Junyan.If that uncle really recognized Miss Xia as a poor relative, how could he let her live alone in this village.At this time, Xia Junyan already understood Li Shi's reason for coming.That's close to telling her bluntly: Take the money and get the fuck out of my mother. If you want to marry my son, there's no way!
Xia Junyan said: "Third Aunt, my parents have gone, and I still have to observe mourning for three years. Brother Cheng Yuan's future cannot be delayed because of me. Everything I said when I was a child was a joke, and I understand all of this."

Mrs. Li immediately frowned, and stuffed Xia Junyan with five eggs, which solved a big problem for her son! "Our family Cheng Yuan is a scholar, and he will be an official in the future. Since ancient times, the in-laws have paid attention to the right marriage, and a girl from a small family will suffer when she marries in!" It seems that this yard is unlucky again. Both parents were killed. Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Mrs. Li hurried away with her basket on her shoulders.

Xia Junyan fastened the fence gate of the yard, looking at the five eggs with the mushrooms, dumbfounded.But she never thought about getting married, not to mention having a mother-in-law like Li Shi on her head.Xia Junyan is in a good mood now that she can earn a few eggs back after retiring this doll.As for the injury to her self-esteem caused by being ridiculed by Li Shi, Xia Junyan said - let's eat a full stomach first, she is really hungry and has no strength.

After cooking an egg and counting rice grains to make porridge, Xia Junyan ate the most sumptuous dinner since time travel. She was so moved that she wanted to cry!
The next day was bright, and there was sticky moisture in the grass and trees of the mountain stream, so Xia Junyan hurriedly took the mushrooms to the village entrance to join Mrs. An for the morning market.

Standing beside Aunt An was a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, her daughter Xiaoyu.Xiaoyu held the freshly made grass ring in her hand, and when she saw Xia Junyan, she raised it up to her happily: "Axia, I will make one for you too, you have picked so many mushrooms."

Xia Junyan touched the grass ring and gave her the small flowers that she had picked on the side of the road before.
