After a full meal at Fang's house, when the three sisters left, Aunt Tian asked Fang Da Niu to set up an ox cart, first pulled their sisters to the town, picked up a few pairs of medicines according to the recipe, and then returned to Dongshan Village, the car also contained a bag of twenty catties of multigrain noodles, which was mixed with millet and sorghum and a small amount of wheat to grind and synthesize, Aunt Tian used this kind of noodles to steam the nest head, it was very delicious, and if you wanted to save, you could also cook the paste, which was much better than the black batter that the Feng family cooked every day!

The Feng family only has seven or eight acres of land to raise so many people, Aunt Tian's family has twelve acres of good land, and there are seven or eight acres of dry land, and the two daughters are married, and only five people have enough food to eat and sell some, this year is the autumn harvest locust plague, and her family is not short of food only by relying on summer grain, Aunt Tian said to the Jinxiu sisters: This bag of grain will be taken away by your milk when you enter the door, but she has to cook one or two good meals of these noodles for your mother to eat! Wait a minute...... Auntie, no matter how much you save every year, you can save half a year's food for your mother and daughter!

Jinxiu was very grateful, and sighed in her heart: Tian has such a good big sister, why don't you know how to hug your thighs?

When I came, I was tired and tired, but when I went back, there was an ox cart to sit on, Jinyu and Jinyun were so comfortable that they dozed off, but it was difficult for them, they couldn't sleep at night at a young age, and they had to take turns to take care of the sick Tian.

Jinxiu asked them to sleep on the noodle bag, and she chatted with her cousin Fang Daniu.

Compared with Jinyu and Jinyun, who have no information from the outside world, Fang Daniu, who has studied in a private school in a neighboring village for a few years and often goes to the town, knows too many things!

Only then did Jinxiu learn: This era is called Daxia, the country name is Kant, the emperor is surnamed Nangong, and the Nangong Dynasty has gone through more than 200 years! Now in the 36th year of his reign, the first prince has passed away for many years, and a new prince has just been canonized, and he is the sixth prince with great achievements!

Jinxiu asked Fang Daniu: "How do you know so clearly?" ”

Fang Daniu said: "There is a notice on the street of Yamen in Xingfu County, and the county official personally came out to read it to everyone, and the whole world celebrates!" I went to live at my second sister's house for a few days, and I just heard it! Oh, my second sister is your second cousin, she is married in the county seat! ”

"That's the case, the county seat is not far from us?"

"It's not far, just over twenty miles. Well, it's a little far away from your home -- your home is more than ten miles to the town, and then to the county seat, it will be more than thirty miles. ”

Jinxiu touched his ears, is it only a dozen miles from Dongshan Village to Fangshi Town? How do you feel so far, she is tired from walking with her two younger sisters in the morning, and she never arrives!

Liumu Village is on the edge of Fangshi Town, so it is more than ten miles from Liumu Village to Dongshan Village, and the ox cart walks and walks quickly.

The ox cart entered the village, and the people passing by on the village road saw the Jinxiu sisters coming back in the ox cart, and they all asked curiously one or two words, and Jinxiu deliberately said loudly: "We went to my aunt's house to borrow food, this is my cousin of the Fang family, and sent us home!" ”

When the aunts and sisters-in-law in the village heard this, they began to discuss: "Tian's illness is getting worse and worse, and I heard Aunt Liu say that Grandma Feng not only doesn't give money to buy medicine, but also doesn't even want to give a mouthful of delicious food. ”

"Look at the bag of rice grain on the ox cart, and a few medicine bags, they are all sisters who are connected by flesh and blood!"

"That's it, you have to give Aunt Jinxiu money to buy medicine, alas!"

"Mrs. Feng's mother and daughter are too powerful, everything is deducted, the strange family Tian doesn't give birth to a son, and the Xiucai master has a second room, and the second room Xiaoliang's looks like a goblin, and he treats the Xiucai master tightly, and he clearly doesn't want the Tian family to have a son! In this way, when all the three daughters get married, won't this family all belong to her Grandma Feng's biological grandson? ”

"Oh, you say, that's really the case!"

"Isn't it?"

"That old woman is too poisonous! How to say that Tian also gave birth to three daughters for the Feng family, as soon as they married into the Feng family, they worked hard, went to the field during the day, rubbed twine at night, had a big belly and had no idleness, and worked in the field only a few days after giving birth...... What kind of life is this, I can't stand it! ”

"Who can stand it? Our village is just like their Feng family, what kind of 'merger' is there for no reason? Is this a family fortune that no one inherits, or what? is so poor that he can't eat enough, and he is just blind and tossed! ”

……

The stone slabs on the village road were uneven, the ox carts had to walk slowly, and Jinxiu listened to those discussions in her ears.

The ox cart stopped in front of the Feng family's courtyard, Fang Da Niu carried the noodle bag into the yard, and sure enough, he was stopped by Feng Liang's family, and said a few words to Fang Da Niu without smiling, so he pulled him to carry the noodle bag directly to the main house.

The courtyard of the Feng family is quite large, and the open space in the middle is more than an acre wide, and the ground is tamped, and the grains and wheat that are usually brought back are piled up there for threshing. The five main houses and the seven east wings are all mud walls covered with black tiles, which are lived by Old Man Feng, Feng Liang and their children.

In addition to the two thatched huts of Tian's mother and daughter, the west chamber used to be a firewood and straw shed, and then it was a livestock shed and a place to raise chickens and ducks.

Jinyu Jinyun saw that the noodle bag was intercepted by Feng Liang's, so sad that tears rolled in his eyes, Jinxiu patted them comfortingly, and didn't make a sound, anyway, if the noodle bag was really carried to the West House, they wouldn't be able to cook it and eat it-Feng Liang didn't allow them to burn the fire casually on the grounds that the West House was a thatched house to prevent water from taking away, and there were only two bowls for water to drink, and there would be no pots! The kitchen cooks rice and divides the food uniformly, and if you can't catch the trip, you won't have to eat! The hot water at night is only given to half a bucket, saying that there is not much firewood and grass at home, and it is not allowed to be wasted!

And which of the firewood pushed in the firewood shed was not brought back from the mountain by the splendid sisters?

Feng Liang's is at home, as long as she walks out of the courtyard door, the kitchen will be locked!

What's the use of asking for food in such a situation?

Aunt Tian gave so much rice and noodles, I only hope that Tian can drink a mouthful of paste with a bit of grain flavor tonight and tomorrow!

Old man Feng sat in the main house, and when he saw Fang Da Niu coming in with a noodle bag, he said a few polite words to him, and asked his youngest daughter Liu Hua to pour tea for Fang Da Niu, but Fang Da Niu took it but didn't drink it, and went out to give it to Jin Yun, Jin Yun gnawed too much salted dried radish when he ate Wowo Tou at his aunt's house, and shouted thirst along the way.

Drinking the tea brought by her cousin at home, Jinyun felt strange even when she was young, and she was glared at by Jinyu twice, but she still drank the tea - she was really thirsty!

Fang Daniu walked to the door of the West House and shouted twice to the second aunt, Tian was lying on the kang bed in a daze, where could he answer him? The splendid sisters only said that it was dark in the house, and he didn't need to go in to see it.

Sending Fang Da Niu out of the hospital, Jinxiu told him to slow down on the road, and the sisters watched him drive the ox cart around the corner before returning to the house.

In the evening, Feng Liang's really steamed the wowotou with the multigrain noodles, boiled a large pot of gray-white paste, the yard was wafting with the fragrance of wheat, Feng Zaohua's two and a half sons and an eight-year-old girl crowded at the kitchen door, Feng Liang's connived at his grandson, and let everyone grab a wowotou and gnaw it fragrantly without cooking.

The sick Tian could not be served, so he was given a small half bowl of batter and a nest head, and Feng Liang said that the patient had no appetite, and he could not eat enough food to eat.

Jinxiu can't be on the table, she can't get married without permission and can't go to the sedan chair, the Zhang family came to make trouble, Feng Liang was forced to return fifteen taels of silver dowry, Feng Taohua looked at the silver to buy more dowry, Feng Liuhua wanted to share some silver to buy new clothes to wear, Feng Zaohua naturally wanted to have some benefits...... Feng Jinxiu's willful stubbornness shattered the dreams of the mother and daughter, and they hated Feng Jinxiu to death, where could she be an eyesore in front of her?

also gave her a bowl of paste, a nest head, and went back to the house to eat.

Jinxiu is very happy: she is too lazy to eat with them at the table with a nest of snakes and rats, and she still thinks they are unappetizing!

After eating too much at my aunt's house at noon, Jinxiu put down her own food and went to feed Tian first.

Tian was asleep most of the time, and he only woke up for a short while, and when he woke up, he cried and shouted: "Splendid! Splendid my son! ”

Jinyu and Jinyun only thought that the mother was worried that the eldest sister would be kicked out of the house by the grandmother, because the grandmother was awake when the grandmother said that, and she wanted to turn over and get out of bed and crawl over to beg the grandmother to spare the eldest sister.

Jinxiu was worried in her heart: Isn't it a mother-daughter connection, Tian sensed that her eldest daughter had actually left this world, right?

After calling her mother a few times, Tian opened her eyes, Jinxiu raised her back, and then fed her a bite to drink the paste, only a small half of the half bowl of mush, and asked her if she wanted to chew two mouthfuls of wowotou, Tian shook his head.

Jinxiu said: "Mother, you need to eat more to cushion your stomach, and you will have to drink medicine later." ”

Tian Shi drank a few sips of hot batter, and the person was more sober, and asked weakly, "Where did you get the medicine?" Be...... Your dad? ”

Jinxiu looked at Tian's eyes with a few rays of hope, and ruthlessly extinguished her:

"Not Daddy! When the three of us sisters went to look for our father, my father was having breakfast with my aunt, and my aunt was not happy to see us, and my father scolded us and drove us out of the house, and refused to even give us stuttering, let alone money! We really couldn't help it, so we went to find my aunt, who gave me money to buy medicine, and asked Da Niu to send us home, and gave us a big bag of rice and noodles at home. Isn't it delicious? ”

Tian Shi nodded slightly, her eyes really dimmed, she was strong when she was capable, but now she is weak, and it is inevitable that women love to cry, at this time tears overflowed her eyes, and she whimpered:

"Your father, you're so ruthless! For so many years, I have supported the family like a man, and I hope that he will be promising...... He doesn't look at me, but he should also care for you, you are his own flesh and blood! He drove you away...... Woooooo O my son! ”

Jinxiu patted Tian's family, and after a while, Jinyun also came back from eating, and Jinyu still stayed in the kitchen to wash dishes and brush pots.

Tian pulled his daughter to ask about the situation of the aunt's family without saying a word, Jinyu came in with a medicine bowl, and asked Jinyun to go to the kitchen to bring back half a bucket of scooped hot water, and when Tian finished drinking the medicine, the sisters worked together to wipe her body with hot water and serve her to lie down and rest.

It was September, and the weather was not too cold, so the three sisters took a cold bath and washed their clothes by the well before going to bed.

Their mother and daughter's clothes have to be washed at night, because they have to wash a lot of clothes tomorrow morning, which are all brought out in the main house and the east house, these things are generally done by Jinyu and Jinyun, I heard that Jinxiu didn't do it before, as the eldest daughter, in fact, Jinxiu was loved by Feng Jin when she was young, and taught her literacy and arithmetic, so Jinxiu has always been a little arrogant.

It's a pity that the love between men and women will change, and the love of fathers will also change! After Feng Jin and Xiao Liang hooked up, they immediately abandoned the original match, and they didn't even love their three daughters!

Feng Jin ordered a baby for Jinxiu, and a classmate surnamed Zhang in Fangshi Town took advantage of the excitement, I heard that Zhang's father is a good manners and rules, but his eighteen-year-old son Zhang Ruiwen is amorous, and he was admitted to study in the county school, and he had to give a maid to his classmates, and he didn't show his parents to accept the maid as a room, which is not counted, but let the maid get pregnant!

And the maid is also arrogant, on the day of Zhang and Feng's marriage, she made the silver send a letter to Feng Jinxiu, revealing the savings of herself and the child in her belly, Jinxiu got this letter, and immediately ran to the groom to confront her, Zhang Ruiwen actually admitted on the spot, Jinxiu was so angry that he couldn't speak, where was he willing to get on the sedan chair? also did something that made Zhang Ruiwen lose face - tearing off the hijab, throwing the wedding clothes, and announcing his divorce!

Feng Liang and her daughters jumped out and intervened, and finally the bride was bleeding all over the ground, and the groom carried the empty sedan chair home, and it was an auspicious day to make it very miserable!
