()"Qing'er, do you know that the third girl of Liu Sanniang's family in our village is going to marry the Hou Yuanwai in the town as a concubine?" "Zhao Yan looks like I have secrets to share with you, Tang Qing'er was amused when she saw it, in order to show her enthusiasm, it directly caused Zhao Yan to express herself.

"Her father just let her mother toss like this, doesn't she care?" It's really Tang Qing'er who has been here for four years, and she is the eldest in this family, so she can't go out to play every day like other babies, and can only help take her younger brothers and sisters at home, so she is not very clear about some strange things in the village.

"Why didn't her father say it, but she didn't dare to squeak when she was glared at by her mother, who in our village doesn't know how to say, Sanniu's father is afraid of guilt, her mother is not only unreasonable, but also spicy, these are famous in our village,"

"Could it be that the three girls also agree?" Tang Qing'er was speechless.

"Sanniu has been instilled by her mother since she was a child how to live a rich lady, Sanniu never plays with us, dislikes us as mud babies, almost does not go out of the door, now fifteen years old, handsome and handsome, many people have gone to her family to propose, her mother did not agree, Sanniu's vision is also high, how do well-off people look at it" Zhao Yan pursed her lips, very despised Sanniu and her mother's style.

"So she and her mother have their eyes on that rich waiter in town?" Tang Qing'er looked incredulous.

Zhao Yan said disdainfully: "No, I heard that the marquis accepted three girls as concubines, and the bride price alone was given one hundred taels, not counting silk and satin, my mother also said it, it was good to just go in, and there will be three girls in two years,"

"What do you mean by that?"

"My maternal uncle was a shopkeeper in the town, my mother took me to my grandmother's house to visit the door, and asked my uncle secretly, and my uncle told my mother, in addition to the original wife, there are eight concubines, all of whom are beautiful fairies, and there are a lot of children, the eldest son is as big as the three girls, and the backyard of the Hou Mansion is not clean, and he did something hurtful, my mother thought I didn't hear it, in fact, I heard it secretly, you must not tell others, otherwise let my mother know the truth, and I have to kill me," grabbed Tang Qing'er's arm and asked her to assure that Tang Qing'er had repeatedly assured Zhao Yan'er to rest assured.

Zhao Yan secretly said to Tang Qing'er again: "Who made her one of the best beauties in our village, plus there is a greedy mother, she herself has this thought, I heard my mother say, the concubine in the big family is not so easy to be, even a slave is not as good, if you give birth to a son, you have to be raised by the original wife, it is difficult to see each other, even if you raise it, the child can't call the concubine a mother, you say that if this is the case, what kind of life will the three girls live in this life." ”

Tang Qing'er looked at Zhao Yan and felt that this girl understood what she thought, where is it so easy to enter a big family, although there is a saying that "I would rather be a rich concubine than a poor wife" The daughter of a poor family enters a big family, where does she know so many rules, and life and death are not in her own hands after entering the door, but are pinched by the lady in charge, these Tang Qinger have already seen it in the current TV series, can she not understand? However, there was a teachable expression on his face, which deeply made Zhao Yan feel what a great thing he had done.

While the two were busy washing clothes, they whispered, watching the people washing clothes by the river leave one after another, Tang Qing'er looked at the clothes in his hands and finished washing, and said to Zhao Yan: "Sister Yan, the clothes I brought today have been washed, I want to go home to see if my brother and sister are grinding at home, and after the farm is busy, I will go to your house to play with you, okay?" ”

"That's good, you don't know that I am at home by myself every day, bored to death, you come to me, let's just say some whispers, and you go back quickly, if my mother lets me come out, I will go to play with you," Zhao Yan hurriedly added, since Tang Qing'er fell into the water and woke up four years ago, people are much more energetic than before, no longer stupid, they talk to everyone when they see it, and they get along better with themselves.

Tang Qing'er wrung out the water of her clothes, picked up the wooden stick, put it in the wooden bucket, walked back, and arrived at the door of her house in less than a quarter of an hour, hearing the crying of her sister Tang Jiao'er and Hutou, she walked into the house quickly, looked at the messy clothes on the kang, and said with her hand on her forehead: "Fei'er, what's the matter, why are Jiao'er and Hutou crying, just you take the two of them alone, wood and stone?" ”

"Eldest sister, the wood and stone should be catching insects in the vegetable field behind, Jiao'er and the tiger head they grabbed things, neither of them let go, and the tiger head made Jiao'er cry when he pulled, and he also cried."

"Well, I know what I said, I'll coax them, you go to the vegetable field and call me the wood and stones," Seeing Fei'er run out of the road, Tang Qing'er hugged Jiao'er and coaxed: "Jiao'er don't cry, my sister will give you something to eat in a while, sweet water to drink," and hugged the tiger head and said: "The tiger head doesn't cry, a man can't shed tears easily, and my sister will also make sweet water for the tiger head to drink for a while, let's not cry, okay," finally coaxed the two little guys, and the two of them didn't look like they had just finished quarreling, and they were tired of playing together with hip-hop and laughter, Tang Qing'er cleaned up the house, and saw Fei'er coming back with wood and stones, the clothes on both of them were dirty, and their faces were also stained with mud, and they scrambled to say to Tang Qing'er: "Sister, I didn't make trouble today,"

"I'm ...... too," Stone then said, "I'll go to the vegetable patch to help you catch bugs,"

"The insects in the province eat our food, so that we have no food to eat," Mu was afraid of being trained by his sister, and was busy explaining the results of the morning.

How could Tang Qing'er bear to say that these two younger brothers are only a little more than five years old, which is the age of fun, so she turned her head and said to Fei'er: "You look at the two little ones in the house, I will bring wood and stones to wash my face, look at the sun, the grandfathers will come back in a while, I will go to the kitchen to cook later,"

Clean up the two small ones, took them to the kitchen, Tang Qing'er scooped a few scoops of sorghum noodles from the noodle bag and put them in a wooden basin, added half a basin of water, added two spoons of salt, mixed with two scoops of sorghum noodles, sprinkled with a little minced garlic, green onions, and shredded vegetables, Tang Qing'er took out some thin branches that were easy to light from the outside, put them in the stove pit, and picked up the fire fold from the horn, and it took half a day to get sparks, and stuffed a handful of bud rice leaves picked up last night in the stove, and finally lit the fire, and let the wood and stones show themselves the fire by the stove pitSeeing that the pot is already hot, put a small amount of lard, put the sorghum rice cakes after stirring, grab a handful with your hands, gently pat it flat with two hands, and pour it directly on the bottom of the pot.

Soon, the wood and the stone smelled the fragrance of the cake from the sister's stall and went straight to the stomach, and couldn't help swallowing the spit, the two flashed big eyes and looked straight at Tang Qing'er, Tang Qing'er really couldn't stand such a gaze, so he tore the cake into general and handed it to the two, but when he saw their outstretched laughing and dirty hands, as soon as he collected the cake, the wood immediately understood the meaning, and dragged the stone out of the coffin to wash his hands, but the stone refused, so he didn't wash his hands and didn't give the cake to eat, so he could only follow his brother to wash his hands.

The two finally ate the cake, and the fragrant two said directly: "My sister's cake is better than my mother's, and I want to eat another one, sister,"

Tang Qing'er tore another one and divided it for the two brothers, and told them that they were not allowed to tell others during the meal, otherwise grandma would scold people again, and when the two brothers were half full, Tang Qing'er asked them to take care of Jiao'er and Hutou, and called Fei'er over, and when Tang Fei'er came over, her expression was the same as wood and stone, and she ate a cake in one go, and when Tang Qing'er gave her another one, she waved her hand and said no, because she knew that the cake was too small, and it was half smaller than what her mother made, and there were more than 30 in total. Daddy and grandpa haven't eaten yet, keep it for them to eat, don't look at her small, but she knows better: when grandma comes back, she can't say that they ate, otherwise she will be scolded again.

After baking the cakes, Tang Qing'er counted a total of thirty-nine cakes, put them all on the bamboo curtain, covered them with a burlap, grabbed another handful of rice with the oil in the pot, cleaned it, put it in the pot, and boiled the wild vegetable porridge with the wild vegetables dug up last night.

After thinking about it, I went to the vegetable field in the back to pick eggplants and cucumbers, prepared a stewed eggplant and roasted pork slices, and patted cucumber rolls, took some radish pieces from the pickled pickle jar, mixed them into side dishes, brought all the rice and vegetables to the living room of the main house, put the dishes and chopsticks, and waited for my father to come back. vv, seeing that all the dishes were ready, he went back to the kitchen to get some noodle soup for Jiao'er and Hutou, and fed them two small mornings when they were tired of playing, and when they were full again, Tang Qing'er gently coaxed them to sleep.
