19. The wonders in the courtyard
85_85374 Three peach trees were planted in the front yard of Liu's house, which grew for several years, and they had already grown into big trees, which were much higher than the courtyard wall, and they would bear a lot of peaches every year.
It's the end of March, and with the coolness of early spring, the peach trees in the village have just begun to sprout rice-sized buds, how can they bloom like this overnight?
Liu Chunyan was also stunned, she heard that the old locust tree in the village had appeared in the morning, so she hurriedly came out to see the excitement, where did she notice the peach blossoms in the yard.
A group of women followed her into the courtyard, stood at the foot of the tree, looked up, and felt even more shocked.
The pink peach blossoms on the tree are densely bloomed, hanging full of branches, and from a distance, a dazzling red cloud.
The people in the village have seen these peach blossoms of the Lin family bloom every year, but they have never been so shocked, and the peach blossoms on the trees seem to be crushing the branches.
Wang Guihua exclaimed: "Chunyan, your peach tree has also appeared, I came to your house yesterday and saw it, your peach tree has just begun to bloom at all, how can it bloom like this overnight!" ”
Her words shocked a group of women, and they began to talk about it, asking her if she was mistaken, and someone pulling Liu Chunyan to ask what was going on.
Wang Guihua swore an ass of defense, saying that she was absolutely not mistaken, she really noticed these peach trees yesterday, and she also broke a branch, ready to go back and insert it.
The peach trees of the Lin family are of good variety, and the peaches that bear are big and sweet, and people often come to ask for a few branches, and go back to insert or graft.
Wang Guihua said the truth, everyone also believed, so the question is, the peach blossom season has not arrived at all, how can these peach trees in the courtyard of the Lin family bloom from small flowers and bones overnight?
Could it really be that the tree god has appeared?
But when they came all the way just now, the peach blossoms of other families in the village did not bloom at all, only the courtyard of the Lin family bloomed.
Does this have anything to do with Lin Siquan?
For a while, the eyes of the women looking at Liu Chunyan changed.
A group of women were chattering in the yard, Lin Siquan had already been woken up, she didn't lie in bed anymore, got up and washed, came out of the yard, and greeted the women in the village.
To say that the women in the village are very powerful, they have long mouths, they like to gossip and like to nag, and if something new happens, they can't escape their mouths, and they will always chatter. If they don't like you, your reputation will be ruined.
Lin Siquan had a sweet mouth, although she didn't know many women in the village, but under Liu Chunyan's introduction, she screamed one aunt and grandma, and first made a good impression on herself.
There are many children in the village who follow the women to see the excitement, seeing her, some are shy to hide behind their grandmother's mother, and some are bold and curious to circle around her, Lin Siquan patted his head, remembering that he came back and brought a lot of candy.
She went back to the room and turned it out, filled a large plate, and brought it out to distribute to the children, and even the adults stuffed a handful.
She bought high-end candy, and brought it back to be distributed to the children in the village, she has not come back for so many years, so she has to say it.
The children received the candy and ate it all with a smile, almost all of them were left-behind children, their parents worked outside, and they grew up with their grandparents since they were children. The elderly are more frugal, usually give less pocket money, and will not buy snacks for them, so they can only eat beautiful candy during the New Year.
For a while, the atmosphere in the courtyard was lively.
Women gossip, pulling Lin Siquan to ask questions, she is not disgusted, everyone in the village is like this.
She briefly talked about her life outside in the past few years, and also said that she broke up with Ning Shihuan, and when she came back this time, she was going to stay at home.
Probably ate her candy, but no one said it was ugly.
Some people can't wait to ask, did she go to water the old locust tree last night? She nodded generously and admitted that it was no secret, and someone saw it last night.
Aunt Osmanthus spat and told her about the apparition of the old locust tree, and pointed to the peach blossoms in the yard and asked her, she pretended to be stupid, and resolutely said that she didn't know anything.
Everyone exclaimed again and again, and became more and more sure that it was the locust tree that appeared, and gave her a dream to let her water it...... There is also the outrageous one, which has been associated with going to the locust tree at night to worship and ask for something......
Lin Siquan was speechless, so he could only shut up and listen to their gossip, and didn't dare to say anything...... She was afraid that if she continued to talk about it, she would be arrested as a god......
The women chatted happily, the children ate even more happily, surrounded Lin Siquan, and the sister called it very sweet.
In just a moment, her status in the hearts of these children skyrocketed.
Not long after, Lin Jianshe also came back, and he was surprised to see the peach blossoms in the courtyard.
People are like this, the peach trees in the yard are seen every day, and when he gets up in the morning, he is busy, and he doesn't look up at all, and he doesn't notice that he goes in and out this morning.
Of course, they knew very well what was in the yard, how could a peach tree that had just budded bloom overnight? He muttered in his heart.
After a while, the news spread, and more people gathered in the small courtyard, and everyone smacked their tongues around a few peach trees, saying that the Lin family had good feng shui this year, and they must have great blessings.
With two things in a row, everyone now believes that Lin Siquan must be a blessed person, otherwise, why did she just come back, the locust tree was alive, and the peach blossoms bloomed?
Lin Siquan was busy greeting everyone, and said hello to all the people in the village, except for a few new daughters-in-law, everyone was basically an elder who watched her grow up, plus she was a noble person who appeared to the old locust tree, everyone was very polite to her, and no one mentioned the old news about her elopement.
Even the eldest aunt Shi Sanmei came over to see the excitement, and after listening to the discussions of the villagers, she didn't dare to amplify her words anymore.
After entertaining the villagers, Lin Siquan breathed a sigh of relief. The people in the village are superstitious, she first leaves a good impression in their hearts, and then it is indispensable to deal with them in the village and farm the land, and it is easy to act if she has a good impression.
Although they were busy all morning, Lin Jianshe and Liu Chunyan were full of joy, their family had grown faces in the village this time, and the wrinkles on their faces had stretched a lot when they were happy.
Of course, in private, they also asked Lin Siquan, what happened to the old locust tree and the peach blossoms in the courtyard? Did she get it? Of course Lin Siquan didn't admit it, she just came back yesterday, how did she know?
Lin Jianshe and Liu Chunyan didn't suspect her, they just wondered, and they couldn't find the reason.
It's always a good thing, isn't it?
