Chapter 14: Retribution
"We're back. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Jingsheng shouted in the courtyard.
Then Jin Dazhong and Jing Sheng walked into the kitchen, Jin Dazhong piled a large bundle of firewood on his shoulders into the corner, Jing Sheng also put it over, and then Jin Dazhong untied the cloth bag on his waist and fell to the ground, saying: "I didn't expect to catch a pheasant in the trap last time, and Jing Sheng and I caught another rabbit in the mountains, and it was not in vain." ”
"Those animals are so fast, my dad and I almost didn't catch them, and it seems that it's good to dig traps. My dad and I dug a few more and went back in a few days to see the harvest. Jing Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, then sniffed and asked, "What, it's so fragrant." ”
"The spicy shrimp made by the third sister. Ming Sheng said quickly.
"Sannizi made it? You have to try it. Hehe. Kim Dazhong said with a smile.
Then the family began to serve the vegetables to eat. Mingsheng ate the most fragrant, his mouth was spicy and his tongue was sticking out and he was shouting to eat, Zhang persuaded him to eat less, and be careful of being thirsty at night. Jin Dazhong and Jing Sheng were also full of praise, and Pear Blossom was spicy but still said vigorously: "It's delicious, and the shrimp will be wrapped up in the eldest brother in the future." Peach Blossom smiled with satisfaction, the happiness of her family was the happiest thing for her.
After eating, Peach Blossom and Pear Blossom went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Zhang told Jin Dazhong and Jingsheng about what happened in the afternoon, and sooner or later the two of them would know about it, so let others say it, it is better to say it yourself.
Jin Dazhong was filled with righteous indignation when he heard this: "This princess is deceiving people too much, is there such a rumor, isn't she deliberately humiliating our daughter! "As he spoke, he was about to go out.
Zhang hurriedly grabbed him and said, "This matter has passed, Li Zheng has gone out to clarify, and Tang Yatou has also made it clear." What else are you looking for? ”
"Then you can't just forget it, that princess still dares to beat you, I will definitely not let her go. Jing Sheng said angrily.
"What? she's a lot old, you still want to fight back, you can give me a woman to fight with a mother-in-law, and I'm not afraid of others seeing the joke. Zhang reprimanded.
"Then it's okay to beat her son, anyway, we're on a par with her family. Mingsheng clenched his little fist and said, "I will never play with San Lang again in the future." ”
"Don't mix with adults, you children, in the afternoon, they still called your Peach Blossom Sister and they over. Zhang stroked Mingsheng's head and said.
"That's not going to work either. Mingsheng pouted.
"Okay, even if this matter is over, none of you will care, anyway, I will fight and fight, and I will not suffer, and the matter will be clear. Do you still want to make a big deal out of it and let everyone know about it? Although we didn't do anything, we were afraid that people would be terrible, so no one would mention it in the future. Zhang finally said.
Jin Dazhong still wanted to say something, but thinking that it was indeed the reason, he had to nod, but he was still holding his breath in his heart, didn't he know who his daughter was?
Either way, it's a thing of the past.
It was getting late outside, and the family habitually came to the kitchen, and Zhang's made a brazier.
The family sat around and entered the wax moon immediately, and they wanted to discuss how to spend this year.
Here is the New Year is very important, no matter whether you have money or not to have a good year, the words that modern people have long hung on their lips have been seriously fulfilled by ancient people. Generally, when entering the wax moon, they begin to be busy with New Year's goods and prepare for various matters for the New Year. It's just that the Jin family is too poor, in previous years, they didn't have much money to buy New Year's goods even if they wanted to celebrate the New Year, but today they finally have some small income, everyone counts how much Zhang's and Pear Blossom's embroidery will be in the account before the New Year, and there are still 20 days from the New Year, these more than 20 days, Zhang's and Pear Blossom can embroider a total of eight or nine purses and embroidered handkerchiefs, and they can be sold for hundreds of dollars according to the lowest. Jin Dazhong and Jingsheng continued to work at the wharf, and it was estimated that they could save eight or nine dollars by working hard every day, which made Peach Blossom sigh once again at the cheapness of labor.
Peach blossoms, if you have nothing to do, go around the mountains to see if you can catch some hares or something, although there are many things in the mountains, but it is not easy to catch them, otherwise everyone doesn't have to work, just go and catch animals. The harvest luck before the peach blossoms is still very important. Mingsheng also had to be supervised, so he followed Peach Blossom to play the role of soy sauce.
Thinking about it this way, the family was suddenly full of expectations for the New Year, and with an income of a few hundred yuan, they could have a very rich New Year.
Zhang's is not as optimistic as the children, a few hundred dollars looks like a lot, but in addition to the necessary expenses, they also have to leave some money as gifts, plus the New Year's money to be issued for the New Year, so it seems that it is still a little insufficient. But looking at the excited faces of the children, the words of the blow are really indescribable, forget it, let the children be happy and happy.
Finally, we discussed how to deal with chickens and rabbits, and the meaning of peach blossom was to sell them, after all, the family was still short of money. Zhang's disagreed, the children hadn't eaten good food for so long, and it was time to make up for it, and the money could be earned at any time. And under the vote of Kim Dae-chung, the head of the family, the chicken and rabbit were left behind.
The next day, Zhang's mother and wife packed up the chicken and rabbit and salted them, and only drank chicken soup yesterday, and these will be eaten in a few days.
Jin Dazhong and Jingsheng went to the city, and Mingsheng ran out to play again.
The days passed quietly for a few days. It's just that the trap of peach blossoms seems to have lost its effect, and Jin Dazhong and Jingsheng went to the mountains a few times, but they also gained nothing. Peach Blossom was disappointed and comforted herself at the same time, but she also caught some rabbits and pheasants.
The autumn sky is deep and vast, but the sun is still warm and the breeze is gentle.
Mingsheng dug some soil and played with mud in the yard.
Peach Blossom sat on the stool and stretched comfortably, and was scolded by Zhang's smile: "Little lazy cat." ”
This is going to talk about the peach blossom school girl red, in the Zhang family and pear blossom under the turn of the offensive has not succeeded, always by the peach blossom for various reasons to escape, in the end really can't hide and finally picked up the needle and thread, but either his fingers are bleeding or embroidered is really not like words. Fortunately, cooking is good, and in the end, Zhang had to comfort himself like this, acquiescing to the fact that his daughter is really not suitable for learning to be a girl.
Rika was about to say something, when she saw a figure at the door and shouted, "Is it Saburo?"
Peach Blossom looked over, and Saburo's small figure hesitated outside the courtyard gate and did not come in.
Mingsheng turned his head to look at the door, but he "snorted" and ignored it, and continued to play with the mud.
Peach Blossom pursed her lips and smiled, then walked to the door and said, "San Lang, come in, Mingsheng has been shouting for a long time to play with you." ”
"Really?" Saburo suddenly rushed in from outside the door, asked in surprise, and then looked at Mingsheng in the courtyard.
"When did I say this?" Mingsheng stood up all of a sudden, and said angrily.
"Somebody just said that. Pear Blossom said cooperatively, winking at the peach blossoms.
Zhang smiled and didn't make a sound, let the children's affairs be solved by themselves, in some ways, Zhang and Jin Dazhong are still very open-minded.
San Lang believed it, walked up to Mingsheng and said: "Mingsheng, don't be angry, my grandmother has been under the control of my grandfather for several days and hasn't gone out, and I also told her that she can't say bad things about Sister Peach Blossom in the future, you know, my grandma loves me the most and listens to me the most." ”
Mingsheng still stood there dissatisfied, but didn't say anything more.
Saburo continued: "You haven't played with me in a few days, I miss you, I like to play with you the most." ”
Mingsheng squatted down and continued to play with the mud, Saburo also squatted down, picked up a piece of mud and gave it to Mingsheng, and said, "I'll help you." Then he put it on top of the clay figurine that Ming Sheng pinched.
"It's not here. Mingsheng said.
It seemed that the two little ones had reconciled, Peach Blossom smiled, and then tilted her head to think about things, and it seemed that something should be put on the agenda.
After Saburo left, Peach Blossom beckoned Mingsheng over, and then chattered for a while, snickering from time to time, and Mingsheng's eyes became brighter and brighter. Zhang and Lihua only smiled on the side, ignoring it, two little guys, what can they say.
On this day, Peach Blossom took Mingsheng to hide on the slope not far from the stone bridge, and after a while, he saw that Wang Pozi was about to leave with a wooden basin after washing his clothes, Mingsheng hurriedly ran over, and when he was about to walk to Wang Pozi's side, he made a grimace at her, and then picked up a piece of clothing in her basin and ran to the other end of the stone bridge, and the angry Wang Pozi jumped to his feet and scolded: "You uneducated boy, quickly bring me back the clothes." ”
Where would Mingsheng pay attention to her, walked across the stone bridge and threw his clothes on the grass next to him, and twisted his ass at Mrs. Wang, who was angry, hurriedly chased after her, and didn't look carefully under her feet, but she didn't know what she stepped on, so she slipped around and fell into the river.
"Mrs. Wang has fallen into the water, come on!" Mingsheng walked back to the bridge and shouted vigorously. The soles of his feet kicked quickly, and with the sound of falling pebbles, there was nothing left on the bridge deck.
The woman who was washing her clothes on the bank of the river heard the shouts and hurried to this side, and there were also those who were working near the fields.
The water is not deep, and it has just flooded the mouth of the princess and almost reached the nose.
Mrs. Wang put her feet hard in the water, tilted her face, panted heavily, and scolded Ming Sheng standing on the bridge: "Dead boy...... cough cough ...... "A mouthful of water entered the mouth, and the princess coughed vigorously and didn't dare to open her mouth anymore.
It seemed that there were a lot of people, Mingsheng quickly slipped away, walked to Peach Blossom, the two looked at each other, and laughed straight down.
This is what Peach Blossom has been planning for a long time, and she deliberately chose the day when Mrs. Wang washed her clothes, and put the polished round pebbles on the small stone bridge where Mrs. Wang went back after all, so that Mingsheng could attract her attention, and she fell into the water when she was unprepared, just in response to what she said that day. Didn't she say she had never fallen into the river, just enough for her to feel what the water tasted like.
Sure enough, after that day, I heard rumors in the village that this princess had suffered retribution and offended the river god. And Mrs. Wang also fell seriously ill because of this, and she was really honest for a long time. The Zhang family listened very applauded, and only Pear Blossom looked at Mingsheng and Peach Blossom who were particularly proud in confusion. Jin Dazhong and Jingsheng are also very happy, now see who dares to spread rumors.
