Chapter 16: Village Life (1)
Li Erniang looked at the girl in front of her in a daze, her face was inexplicable, and she patted her son: "Go talk to your third sister and clean up." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "Si'er went into the house one by one. Xu Si's daughter-in-law went to the stove to clean up after drying her clothes, she has always talked little, and she doesn't like to get involved in the affairs between the second and third sisters-in-law, and she hasn't married in when there is a quarrel between them. There weren't many spaces in their room, so she didn't want to get involved.
Li Erniang looked at Lu Daoxian, looking at this dressed in the rivers and lakes, but with fine skin and tender flesh and clothes, she frowned, and said to her: "Our family is small, and the things are shabby, so the girl may have to endure hardships." ”
Lu Daoxian looked at Li Erniang like this and felt as if she had never left, Li Erniang still had that kind of temperament. Looking at the low and broken earthen walls, the old houses, the thick moss on the eaves, the small swallow's nest under the eaves, and the old hen with her toes in the yard, it seems that she sees a little girl running after the hen. Lu Daoxian went to two silver nudes and handed them to Li Erniang: "I am my meal fee for the past few days, and I am not afraid of hardship when walking the rivers and lakes." ”
Li Erniang listened to what she said, and she didn't change her opinion about it, but she just looked at these two silver nudes, knew that there were a lot, and didn't immediately reach out to take it, and said to Lu Daoxian: "The girl gave a little too much, and our countrymen's food is not worth so much money." Li Erniang clipped her hand and raised her head slightly. She is poor, but she is also ambitious, not to mention that the Xu family is not divided, and the money has to be handed over to the public school.
Lu Daoxian smiled slightly: "Then please go to the town to buy some fatty meat, I want to eat back the pot meat, and then make two more cakes, stuffed with wild vegetables." Let's eat leek dumplings tomorrow morning. "These are all things that Lu Daoxian coveted when he was a child and can only eat a little during the New Year's Festival, and he has never had a good time. Every day when I work, I think to myself, "I can buy it for everyone to eat, but it's just my share, let's send it to the room, I'm not used to too many people." ”
Li Erniang knew that this girl was squeamish, different from their Zhuang family, and she ate more than a little better, and the leakage in her hand was enough for them to live for a long time. She didn't shirk it any longer, took the silver nude, and led her into the house of Sanya and Si'er, Sanya held a wire basket in her hand, there were a few strings in the basket, the old red thread was wrapped in two pigtails, and the clothes on her body knew at a glance that they were changed from men's clothes, and looked up at Lu Daoxian, Si'er was close to her side, writing the corners of Sanya's clothes in her hands, and also looked at her with open eyes.
Lu Daoxian smiled at them. The two sisters and brothers are stupid.
Li Erniang has already begun to bombard: "Sanya, take your brother to my house, you will make a floor in my and your father's house these days." Are you done? ”
"Nope." Sanya shook her head, saw her own mother glaring at her, and hurriedly took her brother's hand and walked outside. Before going out, he reluctantly glanced at Lu Daoxian.
Sanya and Si'er's house is actually quite small, half of it is a utility room, half is their house, only an earthen bed, a dark blue and white quilt on the bed, a broken wooden table, and a waist-high cabinet. The bed was cleaned up, the quilt was neatly spread on the earthen bed, the straw underneath was laid with linen, and the pillows were flattened. Lu Daoxian pushed open the small window, and seemed to be able to hear the sound of his fingertips rubbing against the yellowed window paper, and he could see everything in the courtyard when he opened the window.
Xu's second daughter-in-law was still coaxing the child in her arms back and forth, her face full of love. Xu's fourth daughter-in-law also went back to the house after cleaning up. There were also other younger brothers and sisters of Sanya and Si'er playing in the yard, sweating profusely and making a slightly louder voice, and Xu's second daughter-in-law glared at them.
The sunlight was good, and a little bit of sunlight through the window seemed to dissipate the gloom in the room.
Li Erniang said: "If you have anything, call me loudly, or call Sanya, it's the one just now, my little daughter." ”
Lu Daoxian put the flying sword on the table and sat down on the earthen bed. He replied, "I see." ”
Li Erniang didn't talk to her, so she thought about going back to the house to rest: "Then I'll go." ”
Lu Daoxian gave her a look: "You go slowly." ”
Lu Daoxian hadn't been in a daze for a long time, staring at the air in a daze, thinking nothing. A small head poked out of the window, two pigtails, swaying and shaking, Lu Daoxian's divine sense opened, turned his head and smiled at her, and wanted her to beckon.
Xu Sanya looked back and saw that there was no one behind her, her sister and brothers were still playing, and after being sure that Lu Daoxian was calling her, she quietly opened the curtain and slipped in. Standing in the doorway, a pair of dark eyes staring at her.
Lu Daoxian asked her, "Are there only these few people in your family?" ”
Xu Sanya's voice was low: "Grandma is in the upper hall, and my father, second uncle and fourth uncle have gone to the field." ”
"What about your uncle?"
Xu Sanya frowned when she thought of them: "Uncle's son was admitted to Xiucai and took the two of them to the town." "The family worked hard to provide a showman, and in the end, people only recognized their father, and the eldest aunt's eyes were about to grow on the top of their heads, where did they still recognize them, except for the festival to come back to see grandma, where can they still be seen. If you don't want to talk about them, just say the second uncle, "The second uncle's eldest brother and my brother are both learning crafts in the town, my brother is amazing." The little girl remembered and smiled sweetly.
Lu Daoxian looked at her and smiled, as if he was also infected, "Do you have any sisters and brothers above you?" How are you Sanya? "The countrymen all come according to size, big girls, two girls, three girls.
Xu Sanya touched her braids: "The people in our family are ranked together, the eldest sister's family has a big sister, and my mother said that I still have a sister, called Erya, but she was lost, so I am Sanya." Thinking of the sister she hadn't seen, and thinking of the way her mother and the second uncle didn't deal with each other, she didn't like the second aunt either.
Lu Daoxian likes the stubbornness in Xu Sanya's bones, much like Li Erniang, and asked her, "Can you help me do something?" ”
Xu Sanya's eyes widened: "What's the matter?" Can I do it? ”
Lu Daoxian asked her to come over: "Of course you can, my horse is tied to the head of the village, you go and mow some grass every day to feed it." Afraid of horses? ”
Xu Sanya shook her head, her eyes lit up: "I'm not afraid." She also wanted to see the horse, and Si'er described the horse to her, which aroused her curiosity, and if she had a big sister, her mother would not stop her.
Lu Daoxian touched her head: "You helped me do this, I can help you do one thing too." ”
Xu Sanya gave Lu Daoxian a big smile, and when she saw Lu Daoxian looking at her, she was a little shy: "Then I'll feed the horse first." "The big sister promised to help her do something, but she didn't have anything to ask the big sister to help, she was really sad.
Lu Daoxian nodded, watched the little girl run out with a smoke, thinking about whether she was also such a reckless appearance, and couldn't help laughing. Lying down on the earthen bed, the old quilt already had a faint smell, Lu Daoxian covered the quilt, rested his head on the pillow, turned out the wooden ring engraved with the word Lu from the collar, groped twice, looked at the roof, his eyes opened smaller and smaller, and gradually, he fell asleep.
