Chapter 2 Kind-hearted emerald flowers help Yueying, gossip and cause trouble
By the time Wang Yueying dug all the potatoes home, it was already three days later. Because she was worried that the people in the village would find out that the potatoes were edible, Wang Yueying sneaked around every day, but fortunately the house was at the foot of the mountain and did not attract too much attention.
After the potatoes were moved home, Wang Yueying turned her attention to the piece of land in the backyard. Thinking that when I was in the orphanage, the mother-in-law of the director would also take a few of their older children to grow vegetables, and I would not be ignorant of farming. Therefore, she is still very confident in farming or something. Looking at the overgrown field, Wang Yueying turned around and went back to find a hoe. The father-in-law of the original owner is a person who misses the old, although he moved to the county seat in his early years, but he has not forgotten the house he lived in when he was young, and the farm tools and other guys at home are not bad. Wang Yueying found a hoe behind the kitchen door, and hummed happily while hoeing, "Fortunately, the father-in-law of the original owner misses the old and maintains the old house so well." But what she didn't know was that the original owner's father-in-law left more than just farm tools at home.
Although the backyard is not very large, I don't know if it is because there have been onions, ginger and garlic planted before, and there are still some of these plants left in the ground. Wang Yueying still took some time to hoe the ground, Wang Yueying stood aside with the hoe and looked at the backyard that was divided into two pieces, and decided to take one piece of land to plant potatoes, and the other to plant some greens and onions, ginger and garlic, as for melons and fruits, they were planted along the fence fence in the backyard. Potatoes are available at home, and some can be selected to be used as seeds, while others can only be bought in town. Yuanhe Town is a small mountain town of "nine mountains, half water and half fields", the territory is dominated by high hills and low and middle mountains, the terrain is inclined from southwest to northeast, and the mountain range has the Dong Mountain Range in the south and the Xialing Mountain Range in the north. Mountains and hills have fallen into mountain basins, streams flow through the town, and there are wide and narrow river valley basins along the spring stream and tributaries, among which the basin where the town center is located is the largest, and it is the richest place in Yuanhe Town.
Just when Wang Yueying was preparing to go to the market tomorrow morning at home, she heard someone calling the door outside, and when she went out to take a look, she saw a woman about thirty years old standing outside, although her coarse cloth clothes were patched, they were also neat, her hair was meticulously combed, and her face was full of redness.
"You are a trustworthy daughter-in-law, I am your neighbor Yang Dashan's daughter-in-law Cuihua, my mother's family had something to do some time ago, and I only came back now, so why don't you come over and take a look." As he spoke, he handed over a blue piece in his hand.
Wang Yueying looked down and saw that it was a basket of vegetables and a few eggs, and hurriedly excused herself.
"Sister Cuihua, how embarrassing is this, it should be me to visit, why bother you to come over."
"Eh, sister, don't be polite to me, these vegetables are all grown by our family, and the eggs are also laid by our own hens. It's not a valuable thing, so take it all. Cuihua stuffed the basket into Wang Yueying's hand.
Wang Yueying saw that Cuihua accepted it like this, thinking that she must repay others if she had the opportunity. "Sister Cuihua, hurry up and come in and sit down!"
"I won't go in and sit, I just came back, there are still a lot of things going on at home. Sister, if you have something, come to my house to find me. Cuihua turned around and left after speaking, Wang Yueying looked at her back and smiled, she is really a lovely person, and the ancient people are really simple.
Wang Yueying put the vegetables and eggs into the kitchen, and when she went to the bedroom, the two children were still napping, and they were about to wake up at about one and a half before they were ready to take the vegetable basket and return it to Cuihua.
Although Yang Dashan's family is neighbors with Wang Yueying's family, the two families are at the foot of the mountain and are far apart. As soon as I arrived under the old locust tree in front of Yang's house, I saw a man of medium stature tidying up the fence in the front yard, which must be Yang Dashan. Just as he was about to call someone, he saw Cuihua come out of the room, so he shouted loudly, "Sister Cuihua, I will send you the basket back."
"It's a trustworthy daughter-in-law, hurry up and come in and sit down." Cuihua walked out, pointed to the man and said, "This is my man," and then said to Yang Dashan, "Dashan, this is a trustworthy daughter-in-law." ”
"Brother Dashan, Sister Cuihua, my name is Wang Yueying, you can call me by my name." Wang Yueying saw Yang Dashan's honest face, and thought to herself that it was really not a family that didn't enter the door, this Yang Dashan was the same as Sister Cuihua, and he was a good person to get along with at first glance.
"Okay, okay, then Yueying come in and sit." Cuihua said and pulled Wang Yueying into the hall.
After Wang Yueying sat down, she asked, "Sister Cuihua, I just moved here, and I haven't bought a lot of things yet, I want to go to the town to buy some seeds, and I don't know what to plant at this time, so I'll come and ask you for advice." ”
"Not long after the beginning of spring, all kinds of melons and fruits can be planted with green vegetables and eggplants, tomorrow is the fifth day of the town market, we are just going to catch the market, tomorrow morning together in the village to take the ox cart." Cuihua immediately said enthusiastically when she heard it.
"That's great, then I'll go over with Sister Cuihua tomorrow." After sitting at Cuihua's house for a while, through the communication between Guò and Cuihua, Wang Yueying knew that the world she was in now was not a dynasty in Chinese history, it was an empty world, there were three countries, and the place where Wang Yueying stayed belonged to the kingdom of Shang. The climate and geography of Shangguo are similar to those of southern China, the people are open, and women can stand on their own.
When Wang Yueying went home, she found that the two children had woken up, the little Xun'er was holding a branch to write and draw on the ground, and the museum was squatting next to him and watching seriously. Chen Shouxin is a talent in the town, and the Chen family has always had the style of cultivating and reading heirlooms, so the enlightenment of children is earlier than that of other families, but it is a pity that Chen Shouxin has no news after the exam, and Chen Boxun has not had time to go to private school, and he has not worshiped Mr. Thinking of this, Wang Yueying couldn't help but feel sad. But I was excited to see my son so studious. She approached quietly, looked at it, and couldn't help but wonder, they wrote simplified Chinese, but this is good, it saves a lot of trouble, thinking of this, Wang Yueying can't help but sigh that God still loves her.
Thinking about her Wang Yueying was also a little teacher in the orphanage, and now she sees Xun'er and the pavilion writing seriously, her stinky problem of being a good teacher has attacked, holding two children, planning to teach them to learn words, but Wang Yueying can't do the three-character scripture, and I haven't read the thousand-character text, so I thought about it, and according to modern teaching methods, let's start with the simple word "adult day".
The spring breeze blew gently, unveiling the curtain of the village, Xun'er and the pavilion were still in sweet dreams, but Wang Yueying had already made breakfast, and yesterday she told Cuihua to go to the market, but forgot to ask her the specific time, so she got up early in the morning. After cooking the meal, he went into the house and woke up the two children with a gentle kiss. "Mother is going to the market today, will the babies stay at home obediently?" I wanted to take the children out of the house, but I was afraid that it would be easy to get lost in the market.
"Mother, the museum should be with my mother." The sleepy-eyed nest in the pavilion was coquettish in Wang Yueying's pregnancy.
"Well, my mother will be back soon, is it okay to learn to write at home with my brother?" Wang Yueying comforted softly. At this time, Xun'er spoke, "Mother, don't worry about going out, I will take care of my sister, we will wait for my mother to come back at home." ”
At this time, Cuihua's call came from the door, "Sister Yueying, we're leaving." Wang Yueying glanced outside the house, only to see that Cuihua was outside the house, and hurriedly explained to the children: "Mother has already made breakfast and put it on the table." After breakfast, you can practice calligraphy at home, go out to play with other children, and you must not go to the mountains or the river, you know? ”
"Got it!" The two children replied in unison.
Wang Yueying was deeply relieved to see this, although she was still a little uneasy in her heart, but she didn't say much and went out.
The two of them ran to the entrance of the village panting, and there were already several women waiting there.
"Yo, what's the matter, I have to be urged by people when I go out to catch the market, where is this lady?" It was a woman dressed in peach-colored cotton clothes, with willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a face like an awl, and thin lips painted red. Her hands kept shaking as she spoke, for fear that others would not see the gold ring between her fingers.
Wang Yueying, as a person who has just crossed over, doesn't know much about anything, so naturally she didn't reply, thinking that she wouldn't lose a piece of meat if she was told by you. He patted his clothes and prepared to get into the ox cart. At that time, Cuihua couldn't help but say: "This old man Sun still needs a quarter of an hour to drive the ox cart." Why don't you go out early and walk by yourself in such a hurry? ”
"Miao Cuihua, what are you talking about" The noble daughter-in-law was about to scold angrily, and at this time the women next to her all persuaded, "Okay, okay, let's say a few words, it's early in the morning." Although the noble daughter-in-law was indignant, she kept silent when she saw that everyone was looking towards Cuihua.
Only then did Wang Yueying know that Sister Cuihua's full name was Miao Cuihua, and then thinking about her temperament, she was really similar to Miao Cuihua.
"Yueying, this is Chen He's daughter-in-law Ling'er." Cuihua pulled a little woman and said to Wang Yueying, Wang Yueying saw that although Ling'er was petite, she had a goose egg face, she smiled and pursed her lips, and there was a deep dimple on her cheek. "Sister Ling'er is so good-looking." Wang Yueying couldn't help but admire. "Sister Yueying's talent is beautiful, just like the person in the painting." Ling'er blushed and complimented. When Ling'er said this, Wang Yueying realized that she hadn't seen the current face since she crossed over, and she only felt that this body was a little too thin. When you come back from the market, you must make a basin of water to see how you look now.
"Okay, you two are good-looking, don't be sisters and sisters, let's call them names, I feel a little numb to this sister and sister. Haha" but Cuihua's words broke the embarrassment of the two when they first met.
