At the beginning of September 25 in the twentieth year of Dading, the sky was gray and dark before dawn, and the chickens and dogs in Lijia Village were still nesting in the courtyards without opening their eyes, but Situ Yan was already busy working in the stove.

Before the time came, Situ Yan had already woken up, and saw that the four brothers were sleeping very deeply, so she got off the kang lightly, washed up briefly, and put on the men's clothes she wore on weekdays, but she didn't use the ashes at the bottom of the pot to change her face.

Everything is in order, then I went into the stove and pasted the remaining black noodles into cakes, and put a large pot of wild vegetable egg drop soup, which is still not enough, and took a pound of Shu millet (sorghum rice) to make pot porridge, and looked at these should be enough for the family to eat, so I put out the stove.

looked at the hour, it was almost midday, and he was busy in the inner room and wanted to get the back basket to rush to the entrance of the village, and saw Li Dalang tidying up his clothes and walking out of the inner room.

"Little Wu, why did you get up so early?" Li Dalang's voice was still hoarse as if he had just woken up.

"Big brother early! I had a good night's rest last night, and I woke up a little early in the morning. The pasted cakes are put in the basket, there is boiled Shu millet porridge in the clay pot, and the wild vegetable and egg drop soup is in the pot. I have bread in my arms, and I can't go hungry when I get to the county seat. ”

"Okay." Li Dalang felt that the air around him was warm, and the little sister got up so early just to prepare food for them, so naturally his heart was full of emotion.

suppressed the tears in his eyes, and then continued, "The hour is almost up, I will send you to the entrance of the village." Li Dalang didn't wait for the little sister to say anything, put the back basket on his back directly, turned around and opened the door and walked out of the stove, standing at the door waiting for Situ Yan.

Situ Yan hurriedly blew out the oil lamp on the stove, and then followed out the door. When I went out, I felt that the morning without sun was particularly cold, and the jacket on her body was blown by the cold wind, which directly penetrated it, and the hairs on her body stood up. I couldn't help but cross my hands in front of my chest, and scolded myself half to death in my heart. Running around the street in a cotton jacket, and freezing with tears and snot all over his face, he really did it himself,

At midnight, that is, after four o'clock in the modern morning, the sky was still a little dark. Li Dalang's steps were big, and he was used to walking the dirt roads in the village, and he left Situ Yan behind in a few steps. Situ Yan originally had short calves, and the dirt roads in this village were very uneven, so she couldn't get up fast if she wanted to, so she could only walk forward with difficulty one foot deep and one foot shallow. Li Dalang walked a few steps and turned around only to find that the little sister didn't follow, and looked for it again, only to find that the little sister was walking a little slowly, and her body was shaking very unsteadily, so he hurriedly ran back and took the little sister's hand. scolded himself in his heart, "How could I forget my little sister in a trance!" “

Situ Yan didn't pay attention to this, and when she saw Li Dalang walking back to take her, she was still very happy. After all, it is much safer to walk with someone pulling it. And Li Dalang's hands are very warm, and her hands are a little woody from the cold at this moment. The speed of the two is also much faster than when they first went out.

When Li Dalang took the little sister's hand, he found that the little sister's hand was cold, knowing that the little sister was cold, and she felt distressed, "Xiao Wu, you wait, I'll go and get the family's quilt for you, or it will be even colder if you get on the ox cart, I'm afraid I'll get frostbite before I get to the county!" Without waiting for Situ Yan to reply, she turned around and ran home. After a few breaths, he ran back with the only quilt in the house, wrapped Situ Yan in the quilt first, and then took her hand and continued to walk towards the entrance of the village.

Situ Yan has gained some immunity to such touching details in the past few days, and her eyes will not be red at every turn, but her heart is still warm and comfortable.

Seeing that he was almost at the entrance of the village, he asked Li Dalang to pull out some wild grass and cover it on the back basket to cover up the medicinal herbs. She also keeps a low profile and takes precautions, and doesn't want to be too ostentatious.

Finally arrived at the entrance of the village at the end of the year, and saw that Xiao Yang'er was already waiting there with an ox cart, and there were still a few people sitting in the car, Situ Yan didn't have time to see who there was, so he heard Li Dalang pull Xiao Yang'er and said, "Xiao Yang'er, I'm sorry for you, Xiao Wu has to go into the city by himself to catch up with the big market today, and you bother to help take care of one or two." ”

"Good". This one-word man, his words are really pitiful. Situ Yan secretly slandered herself.

Li Dalang is very used to it, he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong, and he has been affirmed by Xiao Yang'er, and his heart is much more down-to-earth. Only then did he hand the basket to Xiao Yang'er, who was going to help Xiao Mei get on the ox cart and wait for the car to go back first, but Situ Yan didn't agree to anything, she had a quilt on her body and it was cold, Li Dalang only wore a single coat, wouldn't it be even colder to panic, and hurriedly persuaded him to go back first, Li Dalang saw that Xiao Wu was worried about him, and told Xiao Yang'er a few words, and then turned around and walked home. Seeing that Li Dalang had gone away, Situ Yan got into the ox cart with the help of Xiao Yang'er, sat behind Xiao Yang'er, wrapped the quilt tightly, and felt better when the wind was blocked out. The little lamb sat down with her basket beside him.

As soon as Situ Yan sat down, a discordant voice sounded beside her, "Look at that hypocrisy, it's really a young lady, delicate like a flower, and I don't look at the bear I look like." ”

Situ Yan was a little flustered, this was her first time in the market, and she hadn't crossed paths with anyone in the village these days, how could anyone look at her unpleasantly, so she looked at the woman who made a sound.

Only after this look did I know that this woman was the younger sister-in-law of Li Wangfu of Muramasa, and I instantly understood why this person looked at her unpleasantly. Maybe it's still dark at this time, and this rich daughter-in-law didn't even see her appearance clearly, so she rushed to trouble her, thinking that she still regarded her as the ugly poor girl when they first met. I can't help but feel a little funny.

She didn't want to offend the people of the village family, so she didn't hear it, but there were always those good things who were in a hurry to find it unpleasant, and there was a middle-aged woman sitting next to Wangcai's daughter-in-law, who couldn't see her face clearly, but the voice was annoying to hear, "Hey, what did he say about Wangcai's family, if that person was a sloppy life, he would stay at home and go out less, and save someone else's mold." ”

This voice sounded very unfamiliar, Situ Yan was sure that she didn't know this person, and she didn't know when she was in the way of her eyes, and just wanted to say a few words out loud, she heard a woman's voice from the back of the car, "Second donkey daughter-in-law, what are you chewing on so early in the morning?" ”

Situ Yan looked back and saw Li Aniu helping her daughter-in-law to climb on the ox cart, thinking that Aunt Aniu heard the words of these two people and was upset for her.

"What's the matter with you! It's like a bad kid! Although the second donkey's daughter-in-law is unforgiving, she also knows that this Ah Niu's family came with her man, and she can't afford to provoke her.

Situ Yan was very happy when she saw her acquaintance, so she thought that the two of them were farting, and helped Aunt Niu to sit beside her, "Aunt Niu is early, you are going to the market today?" In the past two days, thanks to the help of Brother Shanwazi, he has suffered a lot of tiredness. ”

"What are you talking about, that stinky boy eats and drinks so well in your house, I can't call it back, not only am I not tired, but I see that I have grown a lot of meat. You! Life at home is tight, don't keep on their food, just drink a little thin. Aunt Niu sat down and chatted while holding Situ Yan's hand, and did not forget to glare at the second donkey daughter-in-law.

"Auntie, this is a joke for me, just the ones I made, it's good to be able to fill my stomach. That is, Uncle Niu and Brother Shan Wazi didn't like it, so they could swallow it. ”

"It's a big girl's family who doesn't know the checkpoints, and she messes with a bunch of male babies all day long, and she's a fox girl when she grows up." The second donkey's daughter-in-law has been listening to Situ Yan's movements with her ears pricked up, and now she heard that there was a gap to turn, and she hurriedly grabbed a conversation.

Aunt Niu was angry and was just about to reply, but was pulled by Situ Yan. This thing started because of her, and it's not good to let others stand up for her. And Situ Yan's character has always been, people don't deceive me, I don't deceive others, if people deceive me, I will pay it back a hundred times. So this is very polite, "As the saying goes, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if people are cheap, they will be invincible." Aunt Niu, we don't know as much as that beast, we can't bite us with a dog, and we can't bite back? ”

The people in the car who said a few words laughed, and Xiao Yang'er listened to it, so he turned around and looked at Situ Yan, it didn't matter, he was directly shocked by Situ Yan's beauty.

Everyone in the car hadn't noticed this little girl, but because of these words, everyone looked over, and even the people who were laughing stopped laughing, looked at Situ Yan in a daze, and muttered in their hearts, "When did this black girl become so good-looking?" ”

Wangcai's daughter-in-law's face turned black in an instant, and it was even more uncomfortable as eating a fly, she just scolded this girl for being ugly, and turned around and let this girl give her a mouth in public.

"Girl, why are you so good-looking!" It was Aunt Niu who was the first to react and pulled Situ Yan to take a look.

The second donkey's daughter-in-law was originally because Situ Yan said her words, although she didn't understand it, but she didn't know if it was a good word, and she was about to get angry and teach this stinky girl who didn't know what to do, but she didn't expect this slap to see that this girl was not a little worse than before, and even she forgot to find fault with the good-looking.

"Aunt Niu, I originally looked like this, I used to paint it like that to save my life on the road, but now I have a home and relatives, and I am not afraid of being bullied, so I will return to my original appearance. I'm just changing, I'm still a little girl, don't boast anymore! Situ Yan was already prepared, her appearance would always be known sooner or later, so she didn't deliberately hide it.

"You little clever ghost, why do you think so much?" Aunt Niu already likes Situ Yan, but now she is even more happy to hug her and not let go.

Situ Yan swept the eyes of everyone in the car, who was good and who was bad at a glance, Li Lanhua, the daughter of Wangcai's daughter-in-law, was about the same age as her, and was staring at her with vicious eyes at this time, this look was really familiar, two words "jealous". For such a little child, Situ Yan didn't care about it at all, and chatted with Aunt Aniu.

Xiao Yang'er also came back to her soul at this time, glanced at Situ Yan again, and didn't wait for the reaction of the people in the car, looked at the sky, it was already late, and shouted, "Let's go." With a whip, he drove the car to Xinchang County.
