Chapter 1 The Silly Boy and the Silly Daughter-in-law
The morning in Yimianpo Village is noisy, it is the end of spring, every household is busy sowing buds and grain seeds between the wheat ridges, and then they are about to rush to the house to harvest wheat, otherwise a spring rain will fall, the already yellowed ears of wheat have sprouted, and the family's hope for a year will be completely lost.
This year, God is very gracious, there were several heavy snowfalls before the New Year, the soil moisture is sufficient and there is no pest disturbance, and the wheat is growing very well. After removing the taxes, each family can have half a load of wheat left, and when it is ground into coarse noodles, the children in the family are hungry or during the New Year's Festival, when the daughter-in-law of the family has enough confidence to open the noodle jar to make a meal of pasta and beat the teeth. Therefore, the whole village, both adults and children, get up early and go to bed late these days, sharpen sickles, weave baskets, and wrap flat burdens, and devote themselves to this harvest movement with great interest.
However, there were exceptions, and at this moment there were two lazy people hiding on the hill covered with low pines to the east of the village. Among them, the girl is only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a thin body, slightly brown complexion, big eyes and black eyebrows, and at first glance it gives people a very hearty and intimate feeling. It's a pity that she wore a blue-gray coarse cloth dress, black cloth shoes with open toes under her feet, and her withered yellow hair pulled up with wooden hairpins, but she was more than ten years old.
Not far behind her sat on the boulder a young offspring gnawing sweet potatoes, very tall and strong, with tanned skin and an extremely simple and simple face. At this time, he was gnawing on the sweet potato in his hand while staring at the girl in front of him with great curiosity, and occasionally shouted innocently, "Daughter-in-law, let's go home, I'm hungry!" ”
The girl was tugging at her messy hair in annoyance, and when she heard this, she subconsciously yelled back, "Don't call me a daughter-in-law, I'm not your daughter-in-law!" You go quickly, you follow me again, be careful that I beat you! So saying, she picked up a small rock and pretended to throw it at it.
Hou Sheng was so frightened that he immediately hugged his head with both hands, and his big dark eyes looked at the girl pitifully through his sleeves, and he defended aggrievedly, "I won't go, my mother said that you are my daughter-in-law, and she wants me to look at you..."
"You, you're really..."Girls are not vicious people, they don't quarrel with people on weekdays, and where can they really beat a stupid boy with a broken mind. But she felt really wronged for a moment, so she threw the stone down the hill hard, and then sat down on the grass and cried.
Dong Rong only felt that she was more wronged than Dou E at this moment, since her parents died when she was a child, she grew up with difficulty to study, and when her life was about to get better, she met her wolf-hearted boyfriend, wasting five or six years of her youth, and finally made up her mind to get out of the quagmire, and didn't want to fall into the gourd without a cover. When she woke up again, she became the eldest daughter of the Dong family in this strange world, a poor little child who survived with difficulty under her stepmother, and had just been sold to a silly boy as a daughter-in-law. This is really not the most miserable, only more miserable.
She really wants to scold the sky, where did she offend God, how could she enjoy this "extraordinary" life again and again?
With so many things tangled, her brain almost struck, and there was only one thought left, she wanted to return to the familiar world!
However, this is easier said than done. She was afraid of choking when diving, she was afraid of pain when she cut her veins, she was afraid of pain when she drank medicine, and finally remembered the method of jumping off the cliff, and she ... Afraid of heights!
Can't really go back? She hasn't made that bad guy pay the price, she hasn't seen her brother who is a soldier start a family, and she still has 3,500 yuan in her passbook that hasn't been spent...
The more Dong Rong thought about it, the more discouraged she became, and she cried louder and louder, and her tears wiped her snot all over her clothes....
The stupid boy squatted aside and waited for a long time but didn't see her tears, so he had to move to the front slowly, reluctantly handed over the sweet potato in his hand, and whispered to coax, "Daughter-in-law, don't cry." I'll give you sweet potatoes to eat, okay? This is what my mother cooked the day before yesterday, but it's sweet! ”
Dong Rong pushed his hand away hatefully, and was about to open her mouth to refuse, but her stomach was rumbling. She immediately changed her mind, grabbed the sweet potato and took a big bite.
The silly boy Xu didn't expect her to really accept the sweet potato, and he was so distressed that his facial features were wrinkled in one place, like a black-faced bun.
There is a crooked saying that happiness that is based on the pain of others is true happiness. Seeing the silly boy looking so funny, Dong Rong actually felt a lot happier in her heart, and she became more and more sweet and energetic.
The silly boy clicked his mouth a few times with tears in his eyes, and was thinking about how to beg his daughter-in-law to leave him a few mouthfuls, not wanting to be in a courtyard in the northernmost part of the village under the mountain, but at this time he suddenly made a noise.
Someone shouted, "It's amazing, the big girl of the Dong family has run away!" ”
"What, the stupid pillar daughter-in-law ran away! Everyone, help find it. When men, women, and children from every household heard the movement, they all put down their rice bowls and helped search the village and outside the village.
Dong Rong was so shocked by this sudden change that she jumped up, and a mouthful of sweet potato choked in her throat and she rolled her eyes. What can I do, she finally ran out of the wall while everyone in the Cao family was asleep, and if she was caught, she would have to be scolded again, and even be locked up for ten days and a half months. Although she occupied the little girl's body, she didn't want to take over her tragic fate together, otherwise, if she really lived a lifetime with the same fool's big eyes, she would have to die of resignation.
Dong Rong turned her head and looked around, intending to find a place to hide temporarily, but the stupid boy shouted at the bottom of the mountain while jumping to his feet, "Mother, my daughter-in-law is here!" My daughter-in-law is here! ”
Dong Rong was so angry that she gritted her teeth, she really wanted to kick him down the mountain!
