052 Autumn Wind
The clusters of heart-shaped leaves were opposite, and the slender stems and leaves were slightly purple, winding around a dead rotting tree, if it weren't for Cheng Zhao'er stepping on a stem and leaf across the side of the road and tripping. was attracted by the milky white flower again, and Cheng Zhao'er was about to miss it.
Cheng Zhao'er didn't expect to see a yam here! She was pretty sure it was the same yam plant she had seen in her previous life.
She didn't know if the yam was eaten now, at least not yet. It stands to reason that this thing can be used in medicine, and when she helped her father grab medicine at the pharmacy yesterday, she didn't see this thing, but fortunately, she was cautious and didn't dare to ask questions.
Yam is a good thing, in terms of dietary therapy, it has a very nourishing effect on his father's internal injuries and her mother's qi deficiency and blood deficiency. It's just that Cheng Zhao'er looked around, except for the two slender vines here, there was nothing else around.
Moreover, on the rotten wood to which the vine leaves of this yam were attached, poisonous mushrooms were overgrown with flowers, covering seven or eight out of ten of the vine leaves that were not luxuriant! Cheng Zhaoer was very happy, but fortunately, he was careful.
She snapped the branches of a nearby tree and smoked the poisonous mushrooms on the rotting wood! Let's see if there will be snakes or insects around, so that it can be expelled.
Regardless of whether there were yams elsewhere or not, she was ready to dig up this one by the roots. Now it is the time of flowering, which can only bear fruit in July to September, and she is still waiting for the time to use this yam to make food for her father and mother.
She didn't expect this thing to be sold so barely, does anyone know what it is, and Cheng Zhao'er doesn't know how to grow it, and the quantity is so small, it's really not enough for herself. It's better to be frugal!
It just so happened that she had tools by her side, so she hurried to dig. Unexpectedly, she thought that the yam that was very easy to dig, and all the intertwined roots below were connected together, and two large lumps were dug out, and she didn't expect that the stems and leaves above were so small and thin, and there were signs of decay, but there were quite a lot of roots below, and there were many underground stems.
By the time she tried her best to get it, Cheng Zhao'er was completely dumbfounded. With such a big lump, how should she get home, look at the sky is not early, if she doesn't go home, her father and mother will be in a hurry.
She thought, if she didn't go back to call someone, but the teacher moved the crowd, and it was not easy to explain being seen like this, so she could only grit her teeth and come by herself.
So, she poured all the mulberries in the largest bag into the basket, and the basket, which had only been half-placed, was full at once. Then, she couldn't take care of it anymore, so she cut off the long cane stalks of the yam, tied them up haphazardly, and stuffed them into a bag.
Then, carrying a heavy load, she staggered and gritted her teeth and went home. Fortunately, it was noon, the sun was getting blazing, and people were either eating lunch or taking a nap, but there were no people in the fields or on the road.
Cheng Zhao'er pushed open the door, and the courtyard was quiet, but the sound of talking was faintly heard in the stove, and the voices were not Cheng Changqing and Li!
Cheng Zhao'er frowned slightly, and said in her heart: Where are the guests from at this time? Just as he was about to go in, thinking of the things he was carrying, Cheng Zhao'er lightened his steps, hid from the courtyard gate, avoided the direction of the stove and flashed into his house, put the things down first, and then went to the stove.
Cheng Changqing's family eats in the stove room on weekdays, and a table is placed in the stove room, and the meals are eaten directly over there on weekdays, and only if there are any important guests or important festivals such as the New Year, they will come to the living room of the main house to eat or discuss matters.
lifted the curtain, and before Cheng Zhao'er's feet stepped in, she heard the harsh voice of her third aunt Zhou.
“…… Everyone has seen it, the eldest brother and Zhao'er went to sell the mat yesterday, I heard that it will cost a set of 100 yuan, sister-in-law, how much money do you have to earn this time, the eldest brother is really, this kind of craft has always been hidden on weekdays, big brother, do you still regard Changgui as your brother? Pity my family, I talk about my eldest brother and sister-in-law every day! ”
"Okay, I won't say anything, our two families are brothers, broken bones and tendons, I don't mean to spoil the business of the eldest brother's family as a younger brother and sister, it's just, eldest brother and sister-in-law, your nephew Rong Geng has reached the age of saying kiss, a few days ago, my mother showed him a girl, that look, hey, I didn't say it, it was first-class, Zhao'er can't be compared, it's more outstanding than your family's Xue'er."
Cheng Zhao'er listened to this passage and sneered in her heart, every family is really indispensable to the best relatives, and this is still the autumn breeze in the open. This must be asking for money!
Cheng Zhao'er didn't stop, lifted the curtain and came in directly.
The cups and plates on the table were in a mess, Cheng Zhaoer specially made pork ribs or something today, there was nothing. The bowl in front of Zhou was full of clean and smooth bones, and there was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old man sitting next to Zhou with an arrogant face, Cheng Zhao'er came in without looking at her, and he didn't even sweep his eyes.
Li sat on the side, silent, with a calm expression on his face, still holding an embroidery shed in his hand, embroidering every time. Cheng Changqing still didn't leave his cigarette or make a sound, and the whole space was filled with Zhou's whistling voice.
Fengnian and the two little guys sat beside Li with tears on their faces, staring at the young man with dead eyes...... The bones on the side of the bowl look like they want to pounce and eat all those bones!
…… These two unpromising guys, Cheng Zhaoer gritted his teeth. But she doesn't have time to worry about them right now! Let's solve this autumn wind first!
Li Shi saw Cheng Zhao'er come in, she knew that her daughter didn't know anyone now, so she reminded: "Zhao'er, why don't you call your third aunt and eldest brother when you come in!" ”
Cheng Zhao'er understood, and called obediently, so she pretended not to know: "Third aunt, what did you say just now?" ”
That Zhou glanced at Cheng Zhao'er, with an arrogant face, which was exactly the same as her eldest son Cheng Ronggeng, worthy of being a mother and son. I don't know what to be proud of!
"It's not your brother yet, my mother's family gave him a girl, that girl, I can't pick out a few in ten miles and eight towns, I didn't expect the two little ones to look at each other like this, no, come and talk to the eldest brother and sister-in-law, by the way, borrow some money, I'm anxious to hold my grandson, and I'm going to do the family affairs for Rong Geng this year!"
Cheng Zhao'er glanced at Cheng Ronggeng, and she also looked like she took it for granted, she remembered, this kid didn't know why he was so twisted, it turned out that when he saw Cheng Xue'er and Cheng Zhao'er outside, he was never called a person, and he basically passed with his neck raised. Even when I met Cheng Rongrui, I didn't see him calling. On weekdays, he takes advantage of his family a lot, but he still looks like he is not familiar.
Cheng Zhaoer snorted coldly in his heart, hum, this is typical of being still in the rebellious period, he is really used to it! She's not that patient!
Thinking of this, Cheng Zhaoer said: "Oh, it stands to reason that the eldest brother's marriage is a big deal, and you have to handle it well, but the third aunt also knows that the eldest brother in the family has just gone, and my father and mother are still sick, and this time I earned a little money not enough to pay off the famine owed outside!" ”
Just said this, Cheng Ronggeng raised his head and glanced at Cheng Zhao'er viciously, Cheng Zhao'er only felt his heart skip a beat, and at the same time, a nameless fire surged up, look at this ruthless look, he only hated that he didn't have a knife in his hand, if there was a knife, would he stab her directly?
Zhou's face was not good-looking, and his tone was a little unyin: "Zhao'er, you lied to your aunt, why did you even buy sheep without money." My aunt just borrowed a little, five taels of silver, and it wasn't that she didn't pay it back! ”
It's just five taels of silver?! A farmer can't earn that much in a year. They have been busy for a long time in the past two days, and fifty sets of mats are only five taels of silver, and her aunt's appetite is really big enough.
Cheng Zhaoer sneered in her heart, but she didn't lose her face on the spot, after all, these are all close relatives in the family, and there is no need to completely tear your face until it is a last resort, and you have to take into account the two old men, Cheng Dingwang and Wang. just said: "Auntie, I'm really sorry, didn't I say it that day in the old house, this famine has to be repaid, as for the sheep, that's also because I don't fight, I don't have milk, the plug and Yuanyuan are hungry and thin, don't you just grit your teeth, don't you borrow money again." ”
Li took the opportunity to say: "Her third aunt, you also know that now your eldest brother and I both want jars, and the family can't afford to spend a little money." Rong Geng got married, we can't be the uncle and aunt without any expression, and when Rong Geng gets married, compared with the gift money from her second uncle's family, there will be an extra share, which is our heart to be the uncle and aunt. ”
Li's words are actually quite open, they are big, and it is common for them to be taken advantage of by the small ones below on weekdays, and Li is also used to it, he is a kind person, and he doesn't care about it.
Cheng Zhao'er was very surprised, she didn't expect her mother to be soft on weekdays, as if she was pinched in mud, but she didn't expect that she didn't have a bun at all in the relationship with her concubine. Be kind, and don't let others take advantage of it indiscriminately.
In fact, Cheng Zhaoer is completely worried and underestimates the Li family, the Li family just doesn't like to care, she is very dignified and never ambiguous in terms of right and wrong. Except for when facing the Wang family, her performance will be different from usual, and she has never been afraid of anyone when she treats others. This can only be said that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies, which has the best confirmation in the Li family and the Wang family!
Cheng Changqing and the Li family have always had a good relationship, and they are always discussed, at such a moment, he naturally will not leak air to his wife, and he also nodded and said: "This is certain, Rong Geng's marriage is a big deal, just do what your aunt said." ”
Here, the Zhou family didn't get a bargain, and pulled Cheng Ronggeng away scoldingly.
Cheng Zhao'er couldn't cry or laugh a little, feeling that she was fully armed here, and finally found that she had no place for herself at all, she didn't need to go out at all, her father and mother could handle it, just take care of it in the future, she still only cares about making money.
Thinking so, she didn't mention this stubble, Zhang Luo wanted to eat, and I don't know if Zhou and Cheng Ronggeng had eaten here, did they leave her some leftovers! Just wanted to go to the pot to take a look, there was a sound at the gate of the courtyard again, Cheng Zhao'er was speechless, and muttered to herself, this meal is not allowed to be eaten today, and she lifted the curtain to see who affected her to eat, but she didn't expect that it was a son in Chinese clothes who came into view.
Cheng Zhao'er was stunned, Ouyang Jing!
