Chapter 4 Scented ravioli
In the morning in the mountain village, it was quiet and peaceful, and Huiya was lying on the soft brocade quilt with her eyes closed, but her heart was a little uneasy.
This is the second day of coming to the Dong family, yesterday evening, Mama Zheng spent a tael of silver, plus years of experience and majesty at home, successfully obtained the right to live in the entire house west of the Dong family, and made the Dong family jealous of the two of them.
Now that I have been placed on the kang of this West House, I have slept all night, and I have a feeling that I am suddenly like a dream and have come back to life.
Huiya lay on the kang, watching the morning sun shine on herself through the pasted window paper on the window, and kept thinking in her heart, quite a little uncomfortable.
There is no need to ask, Huiya also knows that the place where she is located is called Dongjia Village, and the male owner of the house she is living in now is called Dong Da, and the hostess is called Dong Da Niang, and she has a son and a daughter. The son is fourteen years old this year, his name is Dong Taoshu, and his daughter is twelve years old this year, one year older than Huiya, and her name is Dong Taohua.
Dong Da is a hunter, strong and bold, although he is a little afraid of his wife, he is also a man; Mrs. Dong is also a good person, but because her family is poor and her livelihood is difficult, she always thought about the money and clothes in Huiya's hand in her previous life, and she didn't stop until she stripped Huiya clean.
In the previous life, Huiya was in the Dong family, and after Mama Zheng died, although Dong Da and Dong's daughter-in-law were not too good to themselves, they did not harm themselves much, although they occasionally scolded them, they never did anything. Huiya's suffering mainly came from Dong Taoshu and Dong Taohua.
When Hui Ya first arrived at the Dong family, she was still a young lady from a big family, and the Dong family naturally didn't dare to make any ideas, but Dong Taoshu was fourteen years old, and she would marry a daughter-in-law in three or five years. At the beginning, Huiya was in the Dong family, she couldn't eat enough and didn't have warm clothes, so naturally she didn't have the appearance of a beautiful embryo at all, Dong Taoshu disliked her for spending money to eat at home, so she didn't have a good face for her.
Dong Taohua is the delicate girl in the family, and she is jealous of Huiya, who has beautiful jewelry and clothes, literacy and temperament, but she is afraid of Mama Zheng and Miss Huiya's identity, so she can't bear it. When Huiya's clothes and jewelry became hers, her jealousy for Huiya did not diminish at all.
Without the threat of Mama Zheng, Dong Taohua changed her way to put on small shoes for Huiya when adults couldn't see her, and let her do rough work and tiring work without eating or anything, and from time to time she had to push twice and pinch her twice, such days were extremely painful in the eyes of Huiya, who had been pampered since childhood in her previous life.
Although the Dong family is rich because of themselves, Dong Da and Dong Taoshu, as the people who escorted them into Beijing, also lost their lives when their convoy was robbed by mountain bandits, and Mrs. Dong was also cut and her life and death were uncertain, as well as Dong Taohua...... Hui Ya's heart sank slightly, and the corners of her mouth shook slightly, this ending must also change.
Thinking of this, Huiya pulled a faint smile on her lips. I really didn't expect that when I returned to the place where this nightmare began, Huiya had an indescribable feeling in her heart, it was not resentment or revenge, but ...... Breathe a sigh of relief.
It turns out that when I was young, I felt that it was not a big deal to be full of shadows and miserable days, and it turned out that as long as I was strong, I could get through any hurdle.
's heart was relieved, and Huiya's spiritual head came, and she lifted the brocade quilt on her body at once, and Huiya got up with a grunt. This Dong family is the place where his own tragedy began in his previous life, and in this life, it will become a place where good luck begins.
As long as you let Mama Zheng take care of her body, take care of a few mountain men like Dong Da, and then bring more dry food, catch an ox cart or a carriage, even if the road is slow and hard, you can always go to the capital in a year!
Thinking of this, Hui Ya was suddenly full of confidence, and with a roll of her eyes, she thought of the source of her bad life in the Dong family in her previous life, silver!
Hui Ya quickly climbed to the kang and carried the small burden in her hand, which was the soft in the carriage that Mama Zheng had packed up yesterday, and she didn't seem to have moved after sleeping all night.
Hui Ya quickly untied the little burden, and saw a piece of golden and silver color spilling out of it, and her eyes narrowed slightly excitedly.
In addition to food, there are also a lot of gold and silver utensils, including gold and silver jewelry for herself and Mama Zheng, silver plates and silver forks on the carriage, hollow silver incense balls for decoration on the carriage, and toys with gold and silver......
Hui Ya's eyes sparkled, these gold and silver gadgets together are fifty taels to say the least, if you add the money bag that Mama Zheng is carrying, maybe there will be seventy taels. With so much gold and silver, he is a little closer to his wish to enter Beijing safely.
But the gold and silver can't just be put in this place...... Huiya thought that after her grandmother passed away in her previous life, her gold and silver jewelry was put in the baggage, but the effort of sleeping was turned over by Dong Taohua, and her heart was really not stable.
After touching around the house, he felt that the house was not very safe but he could make do with it, so he wrapped his small gold jewelry in a small handkerchief, turned over the kang mat and pried half of the adobe brick down in the corner of the kang, stuffed the gold jewelry into the gap of the adobe brick, and then stuffed the brick into it.
"Little Miss, it's time for breakfast!" As soon as Huiya finished this, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Mama's familiar voice also came, obviously no one was seen in the morning, and she went to cook for Huiya.
"Mama!" Huiya wrapped the burden neatly and stuffed it into the quilt, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Mrs. Dong following her grandmother into the house.
Mama Zheng was holding a coarse porcelain sea bowl in her hand, exuding the heat of fragrant fragrance, Huiya smelled the aroma and felt hungry, her eyes sparkled and climbed to the edge of the kang, "Mama, what are you doing delicious, but wontons?" ”
"Hehe, it's still the little lady's nose!" Mama Zheng put the sea bowl on the edge of the kang. The coarse porcelain bowl has a clear soup, and there are about a dozen or so thin-skinned wontons in it, and the pale pink filling can almost penetrate the wonton skin, making people look at it and have a great appetite.
"Mama is so nice!" Hui Ya leaned her little face to the edge of the sea bowl and took a deep breath, only to feel that her tongue was full of water. But the good habits that have been cultivated over the years have made Huiya have no way to eat without washing, so she hurriedly put on her shoes and rushed out, "Mama is waiting for me, I'll be back as soon as I go to wash!" ”
"Slow down, slow down......" Mama Zheng was willing to let the little lady rush out to wash up alone, and hurriedly beckoned Mrs. Dong to follow. It's not that Mama Zheng is the envoy, but she saw that as soon as Mrs. Dong entered the house, her two eyes turned around to look at things, looking greedy, afraid that she would take her own soft clothes.
The room was empty, and the curling aroma wafted out from the sea bowl, making people salivate, and the brothers and sisters of the Dong family, who had never tasted such a fragrant thing, sneaked in from outside, and saw the steaming fresh meat wontons on the edge of the kang, you pushed me into the door, and stretched out a little black hand.
