It's not that Zhang Xing admires the imperial examination and wants Zhang Jinbao to get out of the imperial examination. She just thinks that knowledge changes destiny and is an unchanging truth since ancient times. If you know the words, the knowledge will not be limited to palmistry, and the book is also one of the sources. With more understanding and a wider vision, Zhang Jinbao will benefit a lot in the future.

Zhang Xing pulled a pot of things from the Wei family's two small houses to the stone bridge at the head of the village to wash. When Zhang Xing washed the floor in his room before, it was still early, and there were few people on the side of the slate bridge. At this time, everyone in the village had eaten, and there was already a row of laundry women squatting next to the stone bridge.

When these women saw a teenage girl coming over with a large basin, they pointed out and asked, "Who is this?

Aunt He, who is next door to the Wei family, saw Zhang Xing when she opened the door in the morning, and knew that she was the girl brought by Wei Yunhai's new mother-in-law, and whispered: "It is the girl brought by the mother-in-law who entered the door of the Yunhai family." ”

A group of women suddenly realized that Ye Hexiang was the new daughter-in-law, these people had not been with her for a long time, and they did not understand her temperament, but they only knew that this woman was handsome, had a sweet mouth, and brought a son over, and the rest was not very clear. But after being married for more than a month, there were suddenly more than a dozen daughters, and there was still some talk about it.

"Hey, didn't she just bring a son, what's the matter with this girl?" someone asked in a low voice.

"I heard that she originally had two daughters, and she sold a small one, and the big one was lost when she fled, and she actually found it a few days ago. Eight achievements are this girl. ”

Speaking of fleeing, every family has a bitter history, and the woman squatting on the slate with laundry couldn't help but soften her eyes when she looked at Zhang Xing. "So that's the case, this girl is really pitiful, she was lost, and she can still find it, but I'm afraid she has suffered a lot. ”

"That's it, our family almost couldn't get over that meeting, alas, this girl is really not easy. ”

Aunt He has a daughter who is about the same age as Zhang Xing, but because the river is cold, she is reluctant to let her come out to do laundry. Aunt He saw Zhang Xing hugging such a big basin, so she hurriedly stood up and shouted, "Girl, come, come, wash here." As he spoke, he shifted his basin to a different position.

"Xie Lu, Aunt Xie. Zhang Xing put down her basin and thanked her with a smile.

Aunt He saw that Zhang Xing's basin was full of Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu's clothes, and she had a good impression of her in her heart, and asked, "Girl, what's your name? Why didn't your mother come to wash it?"

"Auntie just call me Xing'er. Zhang Xing smiled and said, "My mother went to the vegetable garden." ”

The woman on the other side of Zhang Xing also interjected and asked, "Xing'er, are you from Quantang Town?"

"Yes, my family was originally from Lizhuang Village, Quantang Town. "The women in the village are happy to say that it is long and short, and Ye Hexiang is a person who can make trouble, these things will be known sooner or later anyway, Zhang Xing simply said it generously.

The women saw that Zhang Xing was not squirming at all, and after asking a few words, they didn't ask about it. There was a woman with a thin face and small eyes, and asked, "Xing'er, how does your Uncle Wei treat you?"

Before Zhang Xing could open her mouth, Aunt He said with a calm face: "Changshun's family, the child just came to our village, why are you asking the child about this?" Several women also glanced at Changshun's family coldly, and muttered in a low voice: "That's it, she likes to stir up trouble." ”

The Changshun family smiled and said, "I'm just asking, I'm afraid you still don't know the way, right?" I heard my second son say that this Ye Hexiang is good to Min Wen and Min Wu on the surface, but in fact, he is not good, and he often doesn't let Min Wen and Min Wu eat. ”

The second child of Wei Changshun's family is about the same age as Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu, and they often play together, although the words of the Changshun family are not very credible, but the words of the children are different. Besides, the women in the village often saw Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu wandering outside when it was dark.

Changshun's family looked at everyone's eyes, became more and more interested, and said: "I heard that she still doesn't let Min Wen and Min Wu study." Seeing Zhang Xing washing clothes silently, her eyes lit up, and she pointed at Zhang Xing and said, "If you don't believe it, you can ask her?"

Aunt He also turned her head to look at Zhang Xing. Zhang Xing sighed in her heart, the eyes of the masses were bright, she really had nothing to do with such a mother. Zhang Xing shook his head honestly and said, "I don't know what to do." ”

The Changshun family still had to pull Zhang Xing to say, Aunt He lifted the mallet in her hand, frowned and said: "She just came, you caught her and asked what are you doing with this? With that, he squeezed the Changshun family aside.

Changshun's family had to talk about it again, and a fifty or sixty-year-old woman next to him said: "Okay, okay, Changshun's family, wash it and dry it, don't wait for the sun to go down." ”

Changshun's family saw that no one was paying attention to her, so they had to leave with the basin. After a while, a new daughter-in-law in a red jacket came, and everyone's interest changed direction and asked about the family.

Aunt He whispered to Zhang Xing: "Xing'er, this is the new daughter-in-law of the Dongzi family at the head of our village, I heard that it is from Liu Wan." ”

Zhang Xing looked up a few times. The new daughter-in-law looked like she was about sixteen or seventeen years old, she looked delicate, and her voice was small, and her face turned red as she spoke, which made the women even laugh and ask.

Zhang Xing's impression of Liu Wan Town is limited to the same as Quantang Town, which suffered a catastrophe this year, and for no reason she has a good impression of this shy new daughter-in-law named Xiumei.

The women washed their clothes and departed. Aunt He didn't have many things, and she finished washing it in a while, she took pity on Zhang Xing's small size, and after washing, she was waiting for her, and she had to help her carry the basin. The basin was carried to the yard, and Aunt He went back to her house.

Zhang Xing dried her clothes, there was no one at home, Wei Yunhai finished eating and continued to work in the field. She grabbed a basket and closed the door and went out. The vegetable garden of Weijiazhuang is all in one place, not far from Wei Yunhai's house, Zhang Xing looked around and didn't see Ye Hexiang's shadow, I really don't know which piece belongs to Wei Yunhai's family. Fortunately, there are people in this vegetable patch.

She asked people, found Wei Yunhai's vegetable garden and went in, and found that in about one acre of vegetable garden, only one row of cabbage was planted in the corner, and there were not a few packets of food left, and the other half of the row was sparsely planted with radishes, and some garlic was planted in the palm-sized land in the corner. The rest of the land was all desolate.

Zhang Xing couldn't help sighing, a family of five, that's all, let's eat for a month if it lasts until the sky. Her mother can really live at ease.

However, she is not very clear about what vegetables can be grown at the moment, a place has a local characteristics, and those she can think of may not be able to grow well here, besides, the source of seeds is also a problem. If you think about it, you can only ask your neighbors first.

But no matter what you want to plant, you have to tidy up the fence with only a few piles left.

Zhang Xing stood up and looked around, his eyes falling on the woods by the river not far away.
