Yao Shiling was stunned.

"What is the eldest sister doing?" Wen Peng couldn't help but ask himself.

There was a different kind of stunned on the faces of the neighbors.

"Wen Qing, she's cooking?"

"Steamed wild vegetable steamed buns?"

"It wasn't on fire......

"I'm scared to death, I even brought my family's cattle feeding bucket."

"Ha, it's not just a fire."

“……”

This voice was not loud and the sound of speaking fell into Wen Qing's ears, Wen Qing was ashamed of her former self, and made a lunch with her, everyone thought she was setting fire, how many sins she had done in her previous life.

Wen Qing stiffened her head and smiled: "Uncle and aunt, I'm really sorry to let you misunderstand, and I also trouble you to come." Have you all eaten? I steamed some wild vegetable steamed buns, so you can try them too. ”

As soon as Wen Qing's words came out, there was silence.

Wen Qing He had been so polite and polite, even his own family looked at Wen Qing suspiciously, Wen Qing also knew that he was slightly different from before, so he was silent.

"No, no, there is something made at home, and there is something made at home. Sister-in-law, since it's okay, then we'll all go back to eat. The older woman said, "Wen Qing suddenly became sensible. When she said this, she glanced at Wen Qing, lest her words provoke her.

"Let's have a bite to eat here." Yao Shiling invited.

"No, no, it's all done at home."

"Yes, yes, the family is ready."

"You eat, you eat. Here we go. ”

“……”

No one wants to stay and taste the wild vegetable steamed buns, one is that the Wen family's background is too thin, everyone knows it. Second, who dared to eat Wen Qing's things, Wen Qing was not happy, and slashed over with a kitchen knife, what should people do.

The neighbors turned around and left, and as soon as they came out of the fence yard, they began to talk about it.

"Wen Qing, what's wrong? All of a sudden? ”

"That's right, it's actually steamed wild vegetable steamed buns. Tsk, I can't think of it. ”

"Is it a ghost or what's wrong?"

"I'd rather believe her burning the house than believing her to cook food."

"You don't know yet, do you? In the morning, she quarreled with Yao Shiling, and the quarrel was fierce. My family and I were in the yard and could hear it clearly. ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused the interest of the neighbors: "Why? Why? Why quarrel? ”

"Yao Shiling won't let Wen Qing marry in the county seat."

"Is there such a thing? Yao Shiling thought about it. ”

A few people chattered about Wenqing's beating in the morning, and even Yao Shiling's thoughts were clear.

"Wen Qing, this girl should have beaten her a long time ago, she follows her second uncle every day, it's too wild!"

"That's it, her bachelor's second uncle has been in prison, Yao Shiling is also big-hearted, and she actually let Wen Qing follow her second uncle every day, no, Wen Qing will follow Xueye and learn badly."

"Wen Qing is estimated to have been beaten this time, and he has learned to be obedient."

"It seems that you have to fight the child!"

"I just don't know how many days I can manage Wenqing this time."

"Wen Qing is so wild, he can't manage it for a few days, you wait, tomorrow, at most until the day after tomorrow, Wen Qing must still be the same, if he doesn't do fart work, he will know to run to the county seat."

“……”

Before the meal arrived, several neighbors gathered together and talked about Wen Qing's bad deeds again.

However, Wen Qing didn't care about this, she was putting a basket of wild vegetable steamed buns on the wooden table.

Wen Peng was hungry and immediately reached out to grab the wild vegetable steamed buns.

"Go wash your hands." Yao Shiling said.

"Okay." Wen Peng immediately withdrew his hand and ran to wash his hands.

Yao Shiling and Wen Liang also went to wash their hands.

Wen Qing served four bowls of wild vegetable soup and placed them on a wooden table.

When Yao Shiling and Wen Liang came back, Wen Qing had already placed the dishes and chopsticks properly, and there was bean sauce in the middle of the table, which looked like it had been fried again, and the color was much brighter.

Wen Peng had already picked up a wild vegetable steamed bun and nibbled it, and said, "Mom, the wild vegetable steamed bun made by the eldest sister is delicious." ”

Wen Liang glanced at Wen Peng, there was no interest!

Yao Shiling said: "Wen Qing, Wen Liang, you can eat too." ”

"Okay." Wen Qing picked up a wild vegetable steamed bun and took a bite, the thick noodles were a little hard, and there were some boards in the cold places, which was too far from the taste of fine white flour, but Wen Peng said it was delicious.

Wen Qing raised her eyes and glanced at Wen Peng, Wen Peng was happily nibbling on wild vegetable steamed buns, dipping them in soybean sauce, and drinking wild vegetable soup, she didn't feel good in her heart, and secretly made up her mind that her family must eat well and live well, and not be so tired, especially the two younger brothers can eat all meals.

"Mom." Wen Liang let out a solemn sound, interrupting Wen Qing's train of thought, and Wen Qing looked at Wen Liang.

Wen Liang held the soup bowl: "This morning, the head teacher urged the tuition for this semester again, and the semester will end soon, and I am the only one in the class who has not paid the tuition." The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became, and then he simply stared down at the wild vegetable soup.

"Okay, I know, you talk to the head teacher, and you will hand it over in two days." Yao Shiling said.

"How much?" Wen Qing interjected.

Yao Shiling glanced at Wen Qing, and replied: "Four yuan." ”

Wen Qing didn't say anything after hearing this.

As soon as lunch passed, Wen Qing rushed to wash the dishes and pots, and then returned to the room to rest.

This era is like this, when the farm is busy, everyone is busy day and night, and after the busyness, each family has three meals a day, or two meals a day, and no one goes out to work, and no one does business. Especially the village of Shuiwan Village.

was supposed to take a nap, but Wen Qing couldn't sleep at all, she thought in her heart that all she was thinking about was four yuan, Wen Liang's school tuition.

She suddenly sat up from the bed, took down a cloth bag from the wall, put the floral cotton skirt on the bed into it, took out a pair of cloth sandals from the last drawer of the dilapidated chest of drawers, stuffed them into the cloth bag, tidied up her clothes, combed her hair again, and when she pushed the door open and came out, Wen Peng was doing homework on his stomach in the yard.

"Pengpeng, where is Mom?" Wen Qing asked.

"I don't know." Wen Peng replied.

"Then when my mother comes back, you talk to her, I'll go to the county seat and come back in the afternoon." Wen Qing said.

Wen Peng stood up suddenly: "Why are you going to the county seat again." ”

"Something." Wen Qing didn't explain much to Wen Peng, and left with the cloth bag.

As they walked along the main road in the village, their neighbors who were sleeping in the shade of a tree with straw mats saw it.

One by one, they waited for Wen Qing to go farther, and then began to chatter.

"Did you look at it, did you look at it? He also said that he would go to the county seat the day after tomorrow, and he would go in the afternoon. ”

"That's right."

"A girl's family, I don't know how to stay at home, I run out, I see, the county Ji family may have to quit in a few days."

"That is, who is willing to marry Wen Qing like this. Wen Qing's second uncle has been in prison. ”

"Otherwise, why is Wen Qing so horizontal?"

“……”

These words vaguely came into Wen Qing's ears, and Wen Qing immediately stood still and turned around.

Several women who were chewing the root of their tongues quickly shut up and pretended to be asleep.

Wen Qing turned around and continued to walk towards the county seat.

Wen Qing's steps were fast, it took half an hour to reach the county seat, and when she arrived at the county seat, she was in a trance, and many memories came to her face with the familiar and unfamiliar streets in front of her.

However, she did not dwell in the memories. Instead, he went straight to the only tailor shop in the county, Aunt Xiao's tailor shop. What is the real name of the shopkeeper, Wen Qing doesn't know very well, but everyone calls her Aunt Xiao, and the floral cotton skirt in Wen Qing's cloth bag is made by borrowing her butterfly brand sewing machine.

The butterfly brand sewing machine used to be what Wen Qing wanted the most, but it was too expensive, one hundred and eighty threads, and her second uncle couldn't afford it.

On the day the skirt was ready, Aunt Xiao fell in love with Wen Qing's craftsmanship, and also took a fancy to Wen Qing's floral cotton skirt, and bid twelve yuan to buy it.

At that time, Wen Qing didn't sell it, she made this skirt just to wear it for Ji Yanjun to see. Then Aunt Xiao asked Wen Qing if she was willing to help make clothes for people in Aunt Xiao's tailor shop, and Wen Qing denied it at that time, she was going to marry into the Ji family of 10,000 yuan in the county, and it was too bad to do this kind of thing.

So, she didn't do it at all.

At this time, she came over again with her skirt.

"Doesn't this smell green?" Before Wen Qing walked into the store, Aunt Xiao had already seen Wen Qing, Wen Qing had a talent for making clothes, she used to be here with Aunt Xiao,

So Aunt Xiao is extremely familiar with Wen Qing.

"Aunt Xiao." Wen Qing shouted with a smile.

This laugh and shout made Aunt Xiao feel that this Wen Qing seemed to be a lot more sensible: "Wen Qing, what's wrong?" Come to me again with a sewing machine? ”

Wen Qing smiled, a little embarrassed, but still mustered up the courage to say: "Aunt Xiao, didn't you fall in love with my floral cotton skirt last time?" As he spoke, Wen Qing took out the cotton skirt: "I tried on this skirt, and I haven't worn it once." I just want to ask, do you still want this dress? ”

Aunt Xiao looked at Wen Qing when she heard this: "What's wrong, why did you suddenly figure it out?" Then will you come to my store to help? ”

"I'm in a bit of a hurry, I need money, whether to come to your store or not, I have to think about it." Wen Qing said.

Aunt Xiao likes Wen Qing's craftsmanship and this skirt. When this skirt was hung in her store, two rich girls came to ask, and they both gave a price of fifteen yuan, but she took the initiative to buy it, and Wen Qing sent it to her door to let her buy it, and the price was definitely different.

"Aunt Xiao, otherwise, you see that I also tried on this dress once, and I took the initiative to let you buy it. You gave me 12 yuan last time, this time you reduced it by 2 yuan, give me 10 yuan, you also know that I spent 11 yuan on fabrics and handicrafts, and I also have a pair of sandals to match this skirt, and I will also give it to you. In addition, I will come over tomorrow to help you pedal the sewing machine for half a day and make two sets of clothes, so that you can be idle. Wen Qing said.

And sandals? Aunt Xiao felt that she had made a lot of money this time, and when she heard that Qing was going to help her make two sets of clothes, she was immediately overjoyed, and she originally wanted to take Qiao and reduce the price of the skirt to death, otherwise she wouldn't buy it, but seeing that Wen Qing was so sincere, she immediately said: "This is what you said, don't lie to me, and besides, you consider working with me, and I will pay you." ”

As soon as she heard Aunt Xiao agree so happily, Wen Qing was happy, and she knew that Aunt Xiao would agree. smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you Aunt Xiao." ”

Aunt Xiao was neat and tidy, took the cloth bag, and handed over two five-yuan bills to Wen Qing.

The five yuan of this era is still a yellow banknote, printed with the portrait of other clansmen, Wen Qing took the money, and was faintly excited in his heart, so he left without stopping.

Aunt Xiao shouted from behind: "Little girl, don't forget to promise me." ”

"Okay, I see, I'll be here tomorrow."

Aunt Xiao touched the floral cotton skirt, turned it open, and embedded a wide flat elastic band at the waist, which played a role in tightening the waist, and the needle eye walked finely, and the new style was not too much, Aunt Xiao liked to touch it, and said to herself: "This girl is really skillful." ”

At the same time, Wen Qing held ten yuan and did not go back to Shuiwan Village directly, but ran to the county seat first, bought three catties of oil, broke five yuan, and put four of them in his trouser pocket. Then I went to buy five catties of flour, two catties of pork, two catties of rice, and wanted to buy something else, but I found that I couldn't mention it.

Put everything in a small sack and carry it on your shoulder.

She had just taken two steps, and suddenly felt a familiar figure flickering in front of her, she felt a pain in her heart inexplicably, and quickly turned her head and looked around, but she found nothing, secretly thinking that it was probably because Ji Yanjun lived in this county, so she had this illusion.

Wen Qing shook his head, shook off his distracting thoughts, and quickly went straight to Shuiwan Village.

When I arrived in Shuiwan Village, I met many neighbors, and the neighbors greeted each other.

"Wen Qing, what are you carrying? Look at you're tired, your face is red. ”

"Wen Qing, I'll help you."

"Wen Qing, what's in this sack, it's bulging. Did you give it from the county seat? ”

“……”

In the past, if Wen Qing heard these words, she would definitely choke back, but now she is not the same as in her previous life, and she smiled all the time: "There is nothing." ”

"No need to help, my back moves."

"It's not from the county seat."

“……”

When he arrived at the yard, Wen Qing "snapped", threw down the sack, pinched his waist, and was out of breath.

At this time, Yao Shiling was doing laundry.

Wen Liang sat in the courtyard, bowing his head and thinking about tuition.

Wen Peng is waiting for Wen Liang to go to school together.

After Wen Qing gasped, he took out four yuan from his trouser pocket and said, "Liangliang, give you tuition and go to school." ”
