Chapter 234: Mother and Daughter Heart-to-Heart
As long as it wasn't her aunt who came to make trouble, Yinhua's heart was much more settled, and she wanted to reach out and hug him when she saw her little brother looking curiously and timidly. Who knew that the little guy buried his head in his father's chest at once, and he didn't even dare to look at his sister.
Her mother hurriedly played a round for her daughter: "Your brother doesn't know what's going on?" Timid is very timid! The slightest noise startled them, and the living people didn't dare to approach. It's okay today, I didn't cry or make trouble! I was worried that he would cry and make trouble here, so that your mother-in-law would respond, but I didn't expect him to be quiet today and not make trouble at all, as if he was sensible all of a sudden! β
It was impossible for Yinhua to deal with such a young brother, but since the younger brother was hiding, she no longer reached out to hug him, so as not to scare him into tears. She saw that it was still early, so she sat aside and chatted with her mother.
"Mother! Didn't I let you eat some good supplements? Your complexion hasn't changed for the better! β
Her mother hooked the broken hair of her sideburns behind her ears with her fingers, and said with a smile: "You didn't even see it? Our faces are much better than before. Yinhua's stepfather also laughed and nodded incessantly.
Yinhua shook her head and said, "No! Your face is still very bad, you still have to make up for it, I see that my brother and younger brothers are all skinny and skinny, what can I do?! Or, I'll talk to the lady of the owner tomorrow, and ask her to arrange something for you to do, listen to me, the owner is very short of people now! You don't have to ask for how much money you can earn here, you just need to eat and drink well and take care of your body! β
Yinhua Niang and her stepfather hurriedly shook their heads, and her stepfather said, "Child! You have just received your relatives, and you have to find something to do for your mother's family, which will make your in-laws very disgusted. As long as you're doing well, you'll be fine! We have a way to get by, and your two older brothers are also older, and if we give us more land to plant, life will get better day by day. You don't have to worry about us! β
Yinhua really can't be in a hurry when she thinks about this, if she provokes the disgust of her in-laws, it will be worth the loss. nodded in agreement at the moment, indicating that he would not tell the owner about it.
However, when it comes to farming, she can give her advice: "Daddy Feng! "Yinhua's stepfather's surname is Feng, although Yinhua's own biological father has no news, but she has no definite news, saying that her biological father is gone! She has no way to call someone else her father. But her own mother recognized this father again, so she couldn't deny it, and after weighing it, she created a title like this. Her stepfather didn't care, and happily responded.
Yinhua continued: "Our owner's rice fields have a high annual income, and they raise fish or ducks in the paddy fields. The yield of one acre of land is three or four times more than that of your planting method. You can ask my future father-in-law for advice here, and when you go back, you can do the same, and keep it so that you can live a good life in two or three years! β
Yinhua Niang doesn't go to the fields, so I don't know about these farming things. But Yinhua's stepfather is different, he is a farmer for generations, and he has never heard of fish and ducks in the rice fields. That's because their home is too far away from Hepu Town, and people in this era are relatively conservative and can't accept new things, so it's normal that the news here hasn't been passed on. He glared at Yinhua and said unhappily: "This kind of food is a big deal, how can you be so nonsense?" Raising fish and ducks in the rice fields is not a waste of seedlings and grain?! β
Honeysuckle has never been planted, and I don't know the specifics. Seeing that his stepfather was a little unhappy, he defended aggrievedly: "I haven't seen it either, but they really raised it like this." According to their calculations, the harvest of rice is one stone to one and a half higher than that of not raising ducks and fish. In addition, the income of fish and ducks is two or three times higher than that of grain, and their family's current output of one acre of land is comparable to the output of three or four acres of land in the past. And "Speaking of this, Yinhua paused, she didn't know if she could say anything about the sale of the owner's grain to the army. Thinking about it, she swallowed the rest of the words and didn't say anything.
Her stepfather didn't ask, he was stunned by the stepdaughter's words. He couldn't say it in his mouth, but in his heart he was tumbling over the river. Yinhua saw her stepfather sitting stupidly in a daze, and didn't say a word, so she had to continue to talk about raising fish and ducks in the rice field.
"But! Raising fish and ducks in this rice field is not casual, and if you raise ducks, you need a certain amount of time before you can put ducks in. If you want to raise fish, you have to change the paddy fields. I heard that such paddy fields don't need to be sheared! β
Yinhua's stepfather didn't have much idea about whether to raise seedlings, and when he didn't transplant them before, the seedlings didn't grow either. However, the harvest was really so bad that he couldn't survive, and if he had promoted this transplanted seedling a few years earlier, his family's few acres of land might still be able to stay. If fish and ducks are raised in this rice field, it is really like what this stepdaughter said, then his family has already made it? Why have you been miserable for so many years? It's just that although he can't help but have such good wishes, he still doesn't believe it in his heart. It's just that he can't be serious with this kid now, so Ming'er will know if he asks his in-laws.
Although Yinhua Niang can't farm, she believes in her daughter, who seems to her to be very capable. He persuaded the child's father and said, "His father! You will ask your father-in-law tomorrow, since you can get so many more harvests by farming like this, why don't we follow suit? Xiaohua can say it so clearly, I think it's true, you don't believe me! β
Although the man of the Feng family is poor, he still treats his own women very well, and when he sees his own woman, he is not happy, and he immediately smiles all over his face, and he opens his mouth as if he is flattering: "Believe!" Letter! I'm not thinking that if our family also grows crops like this, where will you be allowed to follow our father for so many years of hard life! β
Yinhua Niang immediately whispered shyly and a little twisted: "I don't feel bitter, don't talk about it all the time!" β
Yinhua was quite embarrassed, and then they said, "Blame me for my bad thoughts!" At that time, I was young and ignorant, and I always thought that my mother didn't want me anymore. So, when I had a good time here, I didn't even think about going to my mother, and if I had gone to my mother earlier, I would have found a way to help you. I won't watch you live so hard. However, fortunately, it is still too late, and our host's lady has many methods, as long as you ask her for advice, you go back and do it, and the days will be better. There are many villages around here, and all the families are wealthy, but there are no poor families who do not have enough food and clothing. β
Yinhua Niang listened to her daughter's words, and her tears immediately flowed, and she explained to her daughter while wiping her tears: "Flowers! It's my mother who is sorry for you, my mother was forced to marry by your aunt at that time, and when I arrived at the Feng family, I couldn't even support their own children, where could I take you over? I think that your eldest aunt accepted the dowry and didn't give the dowry, so I'm willing to support you! My mother thinks that you are better off living at your grandmother's house than living with me. I didn't take you over, but when I had the opportunity to go back to see you, your aunt said that she would send you back to the Hu family. I also swore that the Hu family treated you very well! I thought that you were the Hu family after all, and it was right to treat you well, so I didn't doubt your aunt's words.
Until the time of the drought, I was afraid that the Hu family would take you out to escape the famine, so I secretly looked for you and wanted to take you over and live with us. Although we have no surplus food, the owner of the tenant land is a good man, and he lends us grain every month according to the capitation, which is not much, but it can keep our whole family from starving. Wait until I sneak up on finding your third grandmother's second daughter-in-law. I found out that you were picked up, I asked her where you were, and she didn't tell me if she was alive or dead, just saying that you were fine, don't worry about you. Your second aunt is a good person, she doesn't sue sΓΉ, probably because she is afraid that I will hinder you and ask for benefits! β
Yinhua Niang knew from Yinhua's mouth last time that the reason why Yinhua was able to come to the orphanage here was to rely on the blessing of this second aunt to help say that the mother of the owner lady, who is now Yinhua's mother-in-law, took out the silver money to free Yinhua from the Hu family. So I hated Yinhua very much at the beginning, and the second aunt didn't tell her about the whereabouts of Yinhua, but now I am grateful to others and treat her daughter with kindness.
Yinhua didn't feel good in her heart, but it was all in the past, and she was better off than others now, and she didn't have any depression in her heart, but soon became happy again.
said: "Hmm! At that time, the second aunt secretly took care of me for a long time, otherwise I was not sold by the eldest uncle, but was tortured to death by them. I didn't dare to call my second aunt over this time, for fear of letting my aunt and grandmother know. I want to wait until I get married, and then secretly invite her family over. At that time, it was useless for the eldest aunt and grandmother to know, anyway, I was already married, and if I had a family, I would have a family to protect me, and they would have to see the situation if they wanted to make trouble. They can't afford to make trouble! β
Yinhua Niang also smiled with raised eyebrows, nodded and responded: "That's it!" When you get married, you will be a family person, but you can't be bullied by anyone who is alone. You have endured all the hardships that have been in place before you, and you should be blessed in the future. That's right! Flower, does this in-law say when you will get married? β
Yinhua blushed and shook her head, and replied to her mother: "I didn't say it, but it seems that it is not the end of the year and the spring of next year."
The customs of family affairs here are different from those of our family, they all let the matchmaker talk about both parties first, and both parties have no opinions before verbally agreeing to marry. Only when the two are old enough to get married, can they make an appointment before they get married and hold a wedding banquet. Then, on the day of the wedding banquet, the parents of both sides set the date of marriage. The days of marriage are generally very short, most of them are within half a year. However, there are also those who are married at the beginning of the year and at the end of the year, but this situation is relatively rare. β
Yinhua Niang sighed when she heard this: "The people here are really exquisite, and they have to spend money to hold a banquet when they set up a family!" It's different from our family, our family doesn't have a family banquet at all, the two sides have agreed, and the matter of sending a few bags of tea is decided. Who is willing to spend money on such a banquet! I can't even receive a gift money! β
Yinhua blushed and said, "Mother! You don't know! This wedding banquet is for the woman, but not every family will do it! β
Yinhua Niang's eyes brightened suddenly, and she didn't expect that her daughter was an orphan in the Liu family. They are willing to hold a family banquet for this orphan with great fanfare, and they are really a kind family, it seems that my daughter has really fallen into the nest of blessings. Although she was proud of her daughter, she was a person who had been trained by her in-laws after all, so she sincerely taught her daughter: "Flowers! Since your in-laws are so elevating you, you can't ignore it. Don't tell your in-laws that you literate people are ruthless! You can't do that! β
Yinhua was puzzled and corrected her mother's wrong words: "Mother! It should be hypocritical, right?! After asking, she didn't wait for her mother to answer, so she took the word to calm her mother's heart: "Mother! You can rest assured, in our years of study, Mr. has also taught us a lot of ways to behave in the world. There are many ways to be a child, a daughter-in-law, a wife, a parent, a brother and sister, and a neighbor. So, you don't have to worry about my in-laws' bad life, even if I'm not smart enough, as long as I follow what my husband said, treating people with sincerity can be 'one medicine for all diseases'. You can rest assured! βR1152
