Meal Sweet Home: Farm Lady

Chapter 2

The city of Yangzhou is surrounded by water and has no mountains, so the gentle and small slopes are barely called "hills".

On the other side of Shugang, there is a small rectangular village, which is unevenly populated by farmers, men, women and children who make a living by farming and raising livestock.

It is now the end of the day, and the warm sunshine is fully shining on the entire village, showing a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

In a courtyard of three thatched huts at the east end of the village, a woman in a white linen skirt is rolling up her coarse cloth sleeves, burying her head in the tub and scrubbing the clothes inside.A few strands of black hair hung beside her pink cheeks, making her side face even more beautiful.

She is Nan Yan, the fairy-like beauty in the painting of the old man with silver hair and white beard.

Speaking of her life experience, she herself is completely unclear.Nan Yan only knew that about a month ago, she was a beautiful boat girl on the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou in the 21st century.

Don't think that being a boat girl on the West Lake is an inconspicuous job. Only girls with a bachelor's degree or above, proficient in at least two languages, and outstanding looks may be selected for the job.

With the gradual prosperity of the tourism industry, foreign tourists are increasing day by day.That day happened to be a British young man standing on the Hongqiao Bridge to propose marriage to Nan Yan on the cruise ship, and accidentally fell into the lake.

In order to save him, Nan Yan also jumped into the lake recklessly. When she woke up, she found herself lying limply by a weedy river at the entrance of the village, and she had traveled to this ancient time that she was not familiar with.

After transmigrating, the only thing that can be considered valuable is the hollowed-out and carved ancestral jade bracelet on the left wrist.Nan Yan's great-grandfather was an imperial chef in the palace and was good at Huaiyang cuisine.This hollowed-out jade bracelet is a Xigong jade bracelet bestowed by the emperor during the Qing Dynasty to praise his great-grandfather for his superb cooking skills.

She couldn't figure out the situation that day, she only knew that her body was wet and cold, and her stomach was empty.Fortunately, Zhao Yi, an old man with a white beard who made a living selling calligraphy and painting, passed by here, recognized her as his daughter, and took her home.

Nan Yan herself couldn't figure it out, there was actually a 16-year-old woman with the same name and surname as herself in this ancient time, who also looked similar.

If the old man Zhao Yi was the head of the family, it would be nothing if he could say a word or two at home.But he was afraid that this short and fat old woman and her unworthy son would make Nanyan's situation in this family really difficult.

Why doesn't Nan Yan, as a daughter, take the surname of her father Zhao Yi?Through the original memory of this body, Nan Yan learned that Nan Yan was the daughter of Zhao Yitong's ex-wife Nan Shi. Nan Shi had a dystocia 16 years ago and died after giving birth to her daughter.Zhao Yi, who loves his wife deeply, named his daughter Nanyan after his late wife's surname in memory of the Nan family.

Zhao Yi's current wife, Wang Shi, is the short, fat, black-skinned woman who plays a rogue in the market. Their son is named Zhao Mingda.In other words, Nan Yan is Wang's stepdaughter.

Ever since Nan Yan could walk, Mrs. Wang arranged for her to do endless tasks every day, for fear that she would eat more of the family's free food.

Nan Yan used to be a cowardly and cowardly girl. After being bullied and beaten by Wang, she always smiled and told her father who sold calligraphy and paintings during the day that she was fine.So what if he told him, Zhao Yi is a simple and honest person with a weak character, he has no way to protect his precious daughter in this family, he only hopes that she can live until the day she gets married.

That Zhao Mingda is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he idles around all day long, often steals the little hard-earned money at home, and goes to the village to gamble.

These days, he rarely ran to the village.Because the family's money was lost by him betting, there is not much left, and if there is no capital, how can they bet and re-gamble?
After finally washing the basin after basin of clothes, Nan Yan's head was profusely sweating, and her delicate face was flushed.How could she have washed so many clothes before time travel? The washing machine can finish everything in minutes, and she only needs to rub a few inner linings with her hands.

She got up slowly, lowered her head and beat her almost numb legs lightly, then wrung out the clothes in the tub one by one and dried them on the bamboo poles in the yard.It was almost dry, and there was a thicker rag robe in the basin. Nan Yan bent down to pick it up, and wrung it dry vigorously.

"Oh, Yan'er, how can you twist such a thick robe with your thin skin and tender hands. I'll come, I'll help you..." As he spoke, he was still leaning against the door of the thatched cottage and eating pumpkin leisurely. At the same time, Zhao Mingda, who was watching Nan Yan's every move carefully, trotted over hurriedly.

"I'll come, let me come!" Short-legged Zhao Mingda stood in front of Nan Yan, trying to take the dripping robe from Nan Yan's hand.

Seeing this, Nan Yan was startled, and quickly retracted her hands behind her back.This is obviously a profiteering, and it is hypocritical to say that it is to help.

The drunken man's intention was not to drink. When Nan Yan pulled his hands away, Zhao Mingda didn't hold the thick robe properly, and the robe fell to the ground with a "click" and was soiled by the mud.

How could a lazy person who wouldn't even help a grass rake fall down on weekdays suddenly take the initiative to help others like a different person?

Because the movements were too subtle, Nan Yan couldn't get angry at all.At this embarrassing moment, Nan Yan gave Zhao Mingda a white look, and bent over to pick up the soiled clothes, "Get out of the way, I'll take it and wash it."

That's all she said. Once she traveled to this strange ancient time, she still didn't fully understand the situation of this era.In modern times, a little physical collision between a man and a woman is nothing at all, so Nan Yan let it go after thinking about it.

I am not afraid of being poor, what I am afraid of is being poor in this unfamiliar environment.The old woman is vicious and vicious, and the young man is lustful and addicted to gambling. It can be said that it is difficult to move forward.

Zhao Mingda didn't respond, but continued to stare at Nan Yan with lustful eyes, his chapped lips were slightly raised, and there was a disgusting haha ​​on the corner of his mouth.

Nan Yan put the thick robe that had fallen on the ground into the wooden basin, carried the basin together with the well water drawn from the entrance of the village, and bent down to pick up the bucket.

Nan Yan was frightened, the wooden barrel in her hand slipped and fell to the ground, and the clean and clear well water spilled all over the floor.Nan Yan quickly straightened up vigilantly, and took two or three steps back in horror.

"Little bastard, what are you doing?" Nan Yan became angry with embarrassment, her usually gentle voice became angry and loud, her little face was flushed with anger, "You bastard, how dare you eat your sister's tofu, I think you are impatient Already!"

Nan Yan was really furious this time. This half-brother was usually a gambler, but he dared to play on his sister's idea and wanted to eat her tofu.It is simply disorderly, extremely wretched!

Zhao Mingda didn't change his mind, he smiled triumphantly, kept stroking his sleeves with his hands, and approached Nan Yan again step by step, "Yo Yo Yo, since you fell into the water and were rescued by your father, your temper has changed a lot. You wouldn't treat me like this before. I'm only one year younger than you. Don't call me brother all day long. A man is over 15 years old. He's an adult. What's wrong with me eating your tofu? Women are born to be played by men Yes, I was just kind enough to keep you nourished, is this also a violation of the law?"

As Zhao Mingda approached, Nan Yan kept retreating, and she was about to retreat to the edge of the fence, so she quickly changed her position and continued to hide from him.

Don't look at this Zhao Mingda is only 15 years old, he looks fat and healthy, judging from his appearance, he is more than three years older than Nan Yan.

Behind the haystacks, big stones, thick tree trunks not far away, wherever people can hide, a few heads will occasionally appear, peeping at the bustle of the Zhao family's thatched cottage.

It turned out that this brat Zhao Mingda made a bet with those people who often gambled together at the entrance of the village. If he dared to do his sister who was as beautiful as a fairy, and let them witness the whole process of being glamorous, these people would give him money.

"All the bachelors in this village miss you. Today, I will let them see my skills and see who dares to miss you in the future."

It's really frenzied, Zhao Mingda has already been on it.What a proud thing it is to be able to be the woman that all the bachelors in the village yearn for, regardless of whether she is his own sister or not, not to mention the huge gambling money waiting for him.

Since she traveled through time without dying, it proved that God wanted to arrange another beautiful life for Nan Yan, but if she really defiled her half-brother Zhao Mingda, it would be as good as drowning in the Slender West Lake.

Just as Nan Yan's heart was ashamed for a moment, and it was impossible to escape, Zhao Mingda immediately rushed towards Nan Yan, opened his arms, and hugged her from the front, "My little beauty, don't hide anymore, my dear!" It's not uncommon for siblings to mess around."

Zhao Mingda squinted his eyes and drooled while talking.

"Let go, let go of me! Don't touch me, don't touch me, you bastard, let me go..."

Just when Nan Yan was struggling angrily to free herself from Zhao Mingda's narrow and hard chest, a woman's familiar and vehement shout came from not far away, "Little Sao Fox, while my mother is not at home, I will Seduce my Mingda!"

It turned out to be the short, fat black-skinned woman, Wang Shi, who had already returned from the street market in the town at the other end of Shugang, and happened to see this scene happening in her yard.

Hearing the sound, Zhao Mingda trembled all over, quickly put away his hands that were forcibly hugging Nan Yan, and put his back behind his back.

Seeing this, Nan Yan immediately kept a distance from Zhao Mingda, lowered her head angrily and packed up the clothes Zhao Mingda had messed up.

Wang's legs accelerated, and when he reached the gate of the fence, he threw down the food box, lifted his sleeves, picked up the rake in the yard, and ran towards Nan Yan angrily.

Seeing the opponent's menacing approach, a fool would stand still and wait to be beaten.Nan Yan was frightened all over, took a step, and fled around the yard, avoiding Wang's rake.

"You little coquettish fox, it's fine to seduce the bachelors in the village, but now you come to seduce my son, he is your own brother, you want to make the villagers laugh, right? I have to fight now You're a coquettish fox, you're shameless. You eat my house for nothing, you don't know how to do anything, and you seduce your brother, I have to beat you to death today..."

Ever since the day when Nan Yan, who came from time travel, entered the gate of this courtyard, she could tell at a glance that the Wang family had always disliked her.Wang Shi was also impressed by Nanyan's impeccable beauty, but as a woman, she was more jealous and hated in her heart.

What's more, when she sees Nanyan, Wang will think of her mother who died many years ago.The old man Zhao Yi never forgot about her, which made Wang jealous, and felt inferior in his heart that in Zhao Yi's eyes, he was not as good as a woman who had been dead for many years.
