109 Changes in the Valley

A few years have passed, the time can not be said to be short, Xiangchun consciously did not hide his selfishness and did not want to teach, the neighborhood relationship is very good, Xiangchun also wants to make their lives better, but today, there are many fewer people who often come to Xiangchun Wooden House. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Wang's sister-in-law is the most diligent one, because the two families live closely, Wang's sister-in-law spends almost all her free time in Xiangchun's wooden house.

Xiangchun is also very helpless, Wang's sister-in-law is a woman with thick hands and feet, she is in a hurry on weekdays, and she also has a lot of strength in housework, but she just can't do the fine work of needles and threads, and it takes patience to do embroidery work, but the only thing she lacks is that calm patience. After arriving, she thought that she was not as clever as Xiangchun, and she was very satisfied with being able to make clothes to wear on her body, so she simply stopped learning, as for appearing in Xiangchun's wooden house every day, it was completely to pass the boring time.

The reason why the other neighbors came less and less, many of them had dispelled the idea of continuing to study with Xiangchun, and some of them had the same limited patience as Wang's sister-in-law, whose tight life had exhausted them from running around for daily chores, and they really couldn't spare more time to persist in this kind of learning that could not be achieved overnight. One of the main reasons is to see the situation faced by Xiangchun, although some people have the talent to learn embroidery, but they are unwilling to quietly give up and no longer come to study.

Because since Xiangchun gave birth to his son, the work sent from the villa has deteriorated, and the adults in the villa don't seem to like the clothes made by Xiangchun as much as they used to, and the rewards they send out are no longer as rich as they used to be. In the past two years, Xiangchun's craftsmanship seems to have been forgotten by the adults in the villa, and the sister-in-law Wang, who appears most frequently in Xiangchun's wooden house, clearly remembers that Xiangchun has never received needlework sent from the villa except for making raw wind and her own clothes. In the eyes of the neighbors, Xiangchun has such a good craft and faces the dilemma of having no work to do and no reward to receive, and no matter how well they learn, they can't surpass Xiangchun, how bright the future can they have?

Many people also found that as the valley changes day by day, they can still find a way to earn money to change their lives by not going to Xiangchun's wooden house to learn needlework, not going to the mountain villa, or even leaving the valley.

Before Shengfeng was born, the valley was just a place for the old man, his wife and children to be housed by the people of the mountain village. At that time, Xiangchun looked out of the window, and every time he saw a stranger who did not belong to the valley, he would chase them with a novel gaze until they disappeared from view. Now it is different, the valley is no longer a relatively closed world, strangers are entering the valley more and more, and the number of strangers who did not belong to the valley has long exceeded the number of original inhabitants of the valley. The vast majority of the strangers who entered the valley were men, and they were mostly young and middle-aged, and it was common to see people with weapons on their bodies. Xiangchun later heard from Wang's sister-in-law that those with weapons on their bodies were soldiers who were stronger than the ordinary guards in the villa.

In the past, the houses where people lived in the valley were mostly concentrated close to the mountain villa, and the place closer to the intersection into the mountain villa was relatively close, compared to the entire valley, the place occupied by those houses was only afraid of a small area less than one percent of the valley, as for Wanghai Peak and Juyun Peak, only the wild boys who couldn't stay idle would run crazy in that direction, and in the eyes of the busy people in the valley, the vast area that seemed to be a no-man's land.

Since more and more strangers appeared, they had fast horses and carts, and they didn't care much if they were closer to the cottage, and they didn't seem to want a certain area of the valley, they wanted the whole valley.

He did not solicit the opinions and opinions of the original inhabitants of the valley, and directly assumed the identity of the owner. There was originally no decent road in the valley, since the identity of the stranger became the owner of the valley, there was a stone road one or two zhang wide in the valley, starting from the Golden Knife Villa, running through the entire valley, and the other end extended to the direction of Wanghai Peak in the depths of the valley.

According to Wang's sister-in-law, at the end of the stone road, that is, at the foot of the valley, which is so far away from the foot of Wanghai Peak, many tall palace-like houses have been built, and the place is guarded by soldiers, and it is said that even a bird does not dare to fly in, let alone curious people who want to get closer to find out.

The original houses in the valley were simply made of stone and wood, some of which were sturdy, but all of them could hardly hide their simplicity. I heard Wang's sister-in-law say that all the square stones used to build the houses over there were cut down, and the wood was cut down by the thickest and straightest trees on the hillside, so the magnificent house was exactly the same as in the villa.

Xiangchun sat in front of the window of the wooden house, and from dawn every day, he always heard the sound of the wheels of the carriage rolling over the gravel road, and more horses' hooves. With the wide gravel road, getting in and out of the valley is no longer as difficult as in the past, there are more horse-drawn carts in and out of the valley, and many things can be transported in horse-drawn carts, plus there are now more rich people in the valley, and now there are shops in the valley, not only grocery stores, but also wine stores and dried meat. In the past, Xiangchun had to ask someone to buy everything outside the mountain, but now Xiangchun's most basic living needs can be bought in almost all of those shops.

It didn't take long for Shengfeng to learn to speak, and Xiangchun had nothing to do, and at the same time, in order to let Shengfeng talk more, he began to teach Shengfeng to know copper coins and the words on silver tickets. Xiangchun doesn't like to show her face, and she doesn't like to deal with strangers she doesn't know well. After the shops appeared in the valley, when Shengfeng was just over three years old, Xiangchun tried to let Shengfeng go shopping. Xiangchun, who was shocked by the ability to generate wind, didn't dare to show off to Sister-in-law Wang after discovering it, and after a long time and many times, Xiangchun slowly got used to it.

Shengfeng can not only buy the things that Xiangchun wants from the store smoothly, he is not very old, but he is more shrewd than the average child, Shengfeng not only buys things, but also knows to spend as little money as possible to buy what he wants, the money that Xiangchun spent in a month in the past, since the task of purchasing was handed over to Shengfeng, the same amount of money, Shengfeng has not spent it for two months, and the food at home is better than in the past, so that Xiangchun realizes that she seems to have been in the hands of those merchants in the past, and has spent a lot of unjust money, only the things that Shengfeng bought back are the most satisfying。

By the time Shengfeng was five years old, she had grown taller, and her demeanor had more of the ability that can only be seen in older children, Xiangchun no longer wanted to worry about these small money, so she took out the dozen silver tickets in her savings with a denomination of more than 10,000 taels and put them away, although the rest can also be called an amazing lot, the main thing is that all the silver tickets and silver ingots left by Brother Feng were handed over to Shengfeng. Xiangchun's biggest concern now is to wait for Brother Feng to come back, take their mother and son out of the valley, and go to the happy life that Xiangchun has longed for for a long time that has been promised to their mother and son.

Sister-in-law Wang is such a person, a needle falling on the ground can also make her hear an earth-shattering sound, I don't know where she heard the gossip from her family, and I don't know if there is a shadow or not will be said by her as a real thing, the number of times, Xiangchun is also a little strange. There is going to be a war, the war actually happens in different places in this world every day, and it has never stopped, in Xiangchun's cognition, the war has nothing to do with her, the valley is different from other places, surrounded by the Golden Dao Villa, Wanghai Peak and Juyun Peak Iron Bucket in the center, and there are so many strong people who are scary to think about, unless the whole sky collapses, it is possible to endanger Xiangchun. Sister-in-law Wang's panicked look, Xiangchun was about to enlighten her half-talking, half-laughing, when she saw Shengfeng walking in from outside.

In the past six years, the neighbors in the valley would sometimes send some domestic poultry, or mountain delicacies picked in the mountains, and game caught by them, to Xiangchun. Because for the first time, Xiangchun asked Wang's sister-in-law to give them so much money that they felt a little unhappy in their hearts, at the beginning they wanted to return Xiangchun's favor, and then they wanted to exchange a few dollars here in Xiangchun, Xiangchun is generous, better than the steward in the villa, Xiangchun never picks fat and thin, as long as the things are not too much, they will accept them all, of course, the money given also makes them smile one by one. As for the so many good things sent by the neighbors, most of them went into Shengfeng's belly, and the one raised by Shengfeng was called Zhuangshi, a six-year-old child, who was taller than other eight or nine-year-old children, and it was still strong.

Sheng Feng doesn't like to be stuffy in the wooden house, and spends most of the time outside during the day, but Sheng Feng is very sensible, and he will come back when it's time to eat, and rarely let Xiangchun go out to call him.

Sheng Feng was a little sullen today, and when he came in, he closed the door of the wooden house. The calm expression of sullenness and non-talkative is different, and the difference between Xiangchun can still be seen.

"Son, are you hungry? Mom is talking patronizingly, and she hasn't cooked yet, so you can eat a little snack first." ”

Xiangchun pulled Sheng Feng to his side and sat down, picked up a piece of flour dessert that he had bought in the shops in the valley and stuffed it into Sheng Feng's hand. Shengfeng didn't refuse, but ate a little absent-mindedly.

"Xiangchun or you will raise a son, this cub is as strong as a calf, he really likes people!"

Sister-in-law Wang sat not far away, leaned forward a little, and then stretched her arms to touch Xiangchun, and she could almost feel the wind that was pulled by Xiangchun and sat next to her. Sister-in-law Wang is envious from the bottom of her heart that Xiangchun has such a strong and fond son, and she can't help but want to touch the wind. The hand stretched out and didn't reach enough distance, but I didn't expect to stand up suddenly, but it was so frightened that Sister-in-law Wang's hand froze in the middle of the road, and she was embarrassed and didn't know whether to advance or retreat.

If other people's children are timid and don't want to be touched by others, they will hide behind their own adults timidly, and Shengfeng's eyes are wide, looking at that posture, if Wang's sister-in-law's hand dares to stretch forward again, his body with sufficient strength is ready to resist.
