Because of the addition of Huiya's labor force in the Dong family, Dong Taohua's burden as a girl is much lighter. It turned out that when she got up early to cook, although Dong Taohua didn't have to be fully responsible for cooking, she couldn't run away from the errand of burning the fire.
Now with Huiya, Dong Taohua's life is much lighter, and she no longer has to get up early to burn the fire with a face full of smoke and dust, and her life is so beautiful.
Dong Taohua slept on the kang until dawn every day, then put on the beautiful clothes she got from Huiya, and after breakfast, she went to the village to play with the little sisters who knew each other on weekdays, and showed off her new clothes by the way.
Because she doesn't have to do work anymore, Dong Taohua's white and tender face is already more agile than others, and her shaved body is matched with Hui Ya's beautiful satin clothes, so that her whole person exudes a different atmosphere from the village girl in the mountains.
The beautiful Dong Taohua not only made the little girls in the village envious, but also provoked a few half-sized children to sprout their hearts, and every day they watched Dong Taohua twist their waists and walk around the village, so they licked their faces and followed, and the peach blossom sister was long and the peach blossom sister was short and screamed.
There are quite a few half-sized people who have sweet mouths and are okay at home, and they give Dong Taohua some snacks and candy bars from time to time, which makes her very happy, and she is not annoyed when she is surrounded by her, she only giggles and watches them fight to please themselves.
Dong Taohua's life is easy, but it is bitter Huiya, the person who gets up early to cook every day is Huiya, the person who is very tired all day long is Huiya, and the person who eats less and does more busy like a small spinning top is also Huiya.
Huiya, who was carrying a bucket to water in the backyard, put down the bucket in her hand, stood up straight, stretched her waist, beat her sore back with her hand, wiped the sweat on her head, and exhaled a long breath.
Perhaps because the land in the mountains is not valuable, the vegetable garden in the backyard of the Dong family is very large, and although there are not many types of vegetables, the amount is huge. Cucumbers, beans, leeks, eggplants, etc., are lined up in large rows, and now it is the time when the weather is hot to set fruits, and if you don't water them diligently every day, the vegetable seedlings will wilt and dry up.
Therefore, in addition to getting up early and cooking and cleaning up the house, Huiya has to carry a bucket to water the vegetable garden every day.
Fortunately, although the Dong family is greedy for money, they are not too desperate to bully Huiya, or they think that Huiya still has to let her work for a long time, and she can't be tired to death all of a sudden. Anyway, although Huiya needs to carry water from the water tank to water the vegetable garden, the work of carrying water from outside is still done by Dong Da and Dong Taoshu, father and son.
Hui Ya carried the bucket to water a row of cucumber seedlings, and carried the empty bucket to the big water tank in the backyard used to water the garden.
Huiya wiped her sweat, and there were faint white marks on her cheeks, which were slightly moistened by sweat, which was the color of Huiya's original skin.
Hui Ya looked at her reflection on the water, and immediately found the white traces, gently wiped her fingers on her face a few times, and watched the white marks return to the same faint blackened color as the skin of the whole face, and then grinned with satisfaction.
Hui Ya's teeth are very white, with a pair of big black eyes, Rao is now a dirty cloth full of dust, it looks a little painful, if the beautiful clothes and fair skin are restored, then Dong Taohua, who is rated as a flower in the village, will definitely be thrown out of the eight streets, and it will not be comparable again.
However, Huiya knows that she is small and weak now, and her beauty will not bring any benefits to herself, but it will attract Dong Taohua's jealousy and Dong Taoshu's covetousness, which will make Dong Da Niang more and more uneasy about herself, but will make her situation worse.
Because of these, after Mama Zheng left, Huiya combed her originally neatly groomed hair into a mess, and even thickened her originally thin bangs despite the hot weather, covering her eyebrows and eyes.
When she got up early to cook, Huiya also found that the bottom ash of this pot was a good thing, although it was dirty, it could cover her original complexion, so she darkened her complexion a little every day. Over time, she inadvertently turned into a black-faced little girl.
Neatly throwing the bucket into the water tank with a big opening, Hui Ya was in a better mood, and effortlessly took out half a bucket of water, and then scooped the whole bucket of water from the water tank with a water scoop, and then carried the bucket and staggered to another ditch.
Thinking of the natural divine power that she may have, Hui Ya's heart is hot, and she is more actively engaged in manual labor, not afraid of grinding her hands or becoming stronger or something, and wants to make her body stronger.
But...... Hui Ya wiped the sweat on her forehead, even so, Hui Ya is still very confused about her future, if according to the rhythm of her previous life, it will take at least two years for the people sent by the capital to find here, and then it will not be the beginning of happiness, but the arrival of another hell, what should I do?
At this moment, the courtyard door was touched and pushed open, and Dong Taohua rushed into the courtyard with an excited face, "Niangniang, come out quickly, there is a good thing!" Dong Taohua's face was full of excitement, and she ran forward with her skirt, but because the skirt was made according to Huiya's size, it was slightly smaller than her figure, so it looked tight.
"What a good thing, look at you like this!" Mrs. Dong was remaking the satin clothes left by Mama Zheng in the house, and when she heard Dong Taohua's noisy voice, she slowly walked out.
"Mother, it's a good thing to earn money!" Dong Taohua's eyes narrowed into a slit, "A fried tea workshop has been built in the backing mountain more than ten miles away, and we want to recruit apprentices!" One person pays a penny a day, two full meals and new clothes! Dong Taohua's eyes glanced at Hui Ya who followed behind, thinking that if his brother and Hui Ya all went to be apprentices, they would be able to earn back a tael of silver a year.
Apprentice? Hui Ya is also bright, in her previous life, she had never heard of such a thing, if she really had such an opportunity, she would go to the tea shop to be an apprentice, and she would be able to intersect with the people who delivered goods to the tea shop.
If you can take the opportunity of delivery to send your own news, will you be able to wait for the people who come to the house early, avoid those mountain bandits, will there be any change for the future?
But, how can you go? Hui Ya was deeply entangled, not to mention whether this apprentice needed any skills, just looking at the work she did in the Dong family, Mrs. Dong Xu refused to let herself go.
Hui Ya carried the bucket in her hand, and fell into deep thought, how could she follow to become that apprentice?
