Chapter Seventy-Three: Villagers' Life (4)

Zhao Yanzi walked on the road alone with a basket, today is the time to hand over the embroidery work, she has stayed up late this month, just for this rush, I hope to sell it at a good price!

"The swallows are here?" Yang Xiuniang from the embroidery workshop greeted with a smile, "What good things did you bring this time?"

"Alas, I don't know how the newly pondered picture looks, do you like it when you see this kind of guest?" Zhao Yanzi handed the embroidery in the basket to the other party, feeling a little nervous!

"Alas, this flower can be embroidered well, this is a peony!" Yang Xiuniang smiled and said, "I said that the craftsmanship of swallows is good, and everything embroidered is different from others!"

Zhao Yanzi smiled shyly and didn't talk!

Yang Xiuniang took out ten taels of silver, handed it to her and explained, "Last time, you still had two taels of embroidery, and this time I will settle it for you!

"Yes!" Yanzi carefully put away the silver, carefully selected the materials and embroidered threads, and left quietly after saying goodbye to Yang Xiuniang with a smile!

Put the basket home, the swallow took a tael of broken silver and carried the basket and went out again, today there is a big market in the village

, she has to get something for herself!

As she walked along the road, the swallow began to think about her past life!

She was an embroidery girl in her previous life, she began to do simple embroidery work at the age of five, her family was poor, she was a girl if she didn't have some craftsmanship and would have been sold by her father and mother, but later for the marriage of her second brother, she was still sold to the hunters in the village to continue!

Orion has a bad temper, loves to drink, beats her when she gets drunk, her body is weak, she has never eaten a full meal when she grows so big, everything in the family is a few brothers, and on the day of the wedding, she knows what eggs taste like!

After three years of marriage, there is still no news about her stomach, Orion is even more dissatisfied with her, every day she is beaten and scolded, her mother's family doesn't care, she has to come to fight the autumn wind from time to time, she can only endure it, but when she heard that her husband and her mother's family discussed selling her to the embroidery building, she broke out!

A medicated meal wiped out everyone's lives, including herself, she thought she was definitely going to hell, but she didn't expect her to become an orphan in Taoyuan Village, Zhao Yanzi!

It took her three years to move out of the children's dormitory, and she chose a small courtyard to live alone, although she had to pay for the house every month because she did not meet the conditions, but Yanzi was already very satisfied, and her craftsmanship was blessed by herself after all!

"Yanzi, go to the market?" Uncle Xu, who was driving the ox cart, greeted with a smile, "Come up! It's too late for you to walk, there is still room on the car!"

"Alas!" Yanzi was a silent person, without much to say, as soon as the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law sitting in the car took hands, her small body was directly pulled up!

The car was very lively, everyone's eyes were full of smiles, everyone discussed how much grain was harvested in the field, how many purchase indicators they had, what new dishes were in the canteen today, and what new welfare benefits were in the village.

"Swallow!" Aunt Liu suddenly asked, "Is your loquat still on sale this year?" Your uncle has been coughing lately, and I want to boil some loquat paste for him!"

"Sell!" Yanzi said with a smile, "It's already ripe in the past few days, and Auntie will pick it if she wants me to go back!"

"Alas, that's a good feeling!" Aunt Liu said with a smile, "Your wolfberries have not come down, the dog has been studying hard recently, and his mother said to buy some wolfberries for him to stew some chicken soup to make up for it!"

"It's down! I've already dried a batch, just go and get it directly!" Yanzi's answer was still very short!

"Alas!" Aunt Liu said with a smile! The other people in the car also told Yanzi in advance if they wanted, and they would pick up the goods after going back in a while!

The layout of the swallow's house is that the house is small, the yard is large, and the backyard is full of loquat trees and wolfberry trees, except for some chickens and ducks, there are no other livestock!

There is a vegetable field in front of the house, but the speed of the vegetable can't meet the speed of the swallows, so I have to buy it!

At this time, the people in the car discussed the school in the village, and they all said how hard their children worked and how many words they knew, and it was lively for a while, and when they arrived at the market intersection, everyone got off the bus!

Swallow has always been a loner, and he began to purchase it with a basket on his back!

She doesn't work for the village, she can't enjoy many welfare indicators, and she has to pay for everything she needs, and there are no discounts!

But Yanzi feels that such a day is already very good, this place is very safe, people are also very good, she is alone and will not be afraid of anything, here, she has nothing to worry about, even the neighbors do not have those mouthy mothers-in-law, she has never seen a bad person, Yanzi remembered what Yang Xiuniang once said, that is because the bad people in Taoyuan Village have disappeared!

"How do you sell these eggs?" said Yanzi, standing in front of the stall, carefully choosing!

"Two cents for one, five cents for three!" said the old man who set up the stall in a muffled voice!

The swallow picked twenty-four eggs and paid forty cents, and the old man took some straw for her to cushion and put the eggs in the basket!

The family also raises chickens, but the swallow mouth is very greedy, from time to time you have to kill a beating tooth sacrifice, the raising can not be long, the eggs are completely bought from outside, the swallow feels that he is afraid of being hungry in his last life, he wants to eat everything, he can't eat the heart and lungs of the hungry, and the amount of food is very large, the average middle-aged man can't eat her, but the body does not grow meat, always malnourished, if it is not for a hand of embroidery skills to feed, she can not live such a satisfactory life!

I bought pork ribs, pork belly, and two barrel bones, and I bought all kinds of vegetables I needed!

I told the guy at the grain store the address, and I bought 100 catties of white flour, 100 catties of rice, 50 catties of sorghum cornmeal, 20 catties of small yellow rice, and 40 catties of glutinous rice...... The food at home is eaten quickly, which is the amount of two months!

I bought some spices and ginger over there, and there are several sauces that I like very much, so I bought some too!

In the end, I bought a few kinds of fruits, and the swallow with a big watermelon in my arms spent two pennies and took an ox cart to reluctantly return home!

After the work of the front and rear feet, the rice and noodles from the grain store were delivered, and Yanzi, who was already a senior member, also got a prize of a bag of ten catties of mung beans!

Stewed the meat and pork ribs, Yanzi ran to the canteen non-stop, bought a roast chicken, five big steamed buns and a cold salad, and drank a bowl of herbal tea to relieve the heat while queuing.

I went back and washed my face, put the vegetables I bought on the plate, the bones and meat in the pot were already cooked, the swallow was brought to the table with his hands and feet, washed the pot and added water, and boiled the bones on a low fire!

Swallow sat down on the table and began to eat! She ate very fast, gobbling up the appearance is not ordinary ugly, but Yanzi is very happy in her heart, last month because of the purchase of money, she has always been half full, now she has the right to live, and she does not have to pay the monthly house money in the future, and she can finally eat with her belly open!

The houses in Taoyuan Village are all owned by the master, and everyone's living area is limited, and it is relatively rare for a person like Yanzi to live alone in a small courtyard, and Yanzi does not work in the village, so she lives here for a fee!

Last month, Yanzi saved a lot of money to buy the permanent residence of this small courtyard for herself, and her heart has settled down a lot!

In the future, this will be your own home, your own home!
