"It's not foot-binding, it's not foot-binding." Zhang and Lian Zhi'er both laughed.

Gorou smiled and pulled Xiaoqi out, and Lian Zhi'er took off her shoes and showed Lian Man'er her feet.

Lian Zhi'er's feet are heaven-footed, and she wears thin cloth socks with circles of gauze wrapped around them.

"Mother is afraid that we will always do rough work and make our feet ugly. Wrapped in gauze like this, it can't be as small as Sister Hua'er's feet, and it won't be too ugly. Lian Zhi'er said, "Don't delay your work." ”

"Oh, I see."

Lian Man'er breathed a sigh of relief. She remembered that in her previous life, she seemed to have heard that in the Song Dynasty, women used this method to bind their feet in order to look good. I don't know why foot binding evolved into that kind of crippling way of binding feet.

"Come, my mother will wrap you up." Zhang Chapter 15 Digging Wild Vegetables asked Lian Man'er to sit on the kang, picked up gauze, and wrapped it around Lian Man'er's feet. He also asked Lian Man'er if he was tight. "My mother won't wrap you too tightly, and you can't be too loose, it's useless if it's too loose."

Zhang lowered his head and carefully bound his daughter's feet, his heart was full of guilt.

"Mother, I'm sorry for you." Zhang said in a low voice.

"Mother, don't say that, it's good to have big feet." Lian Zhi'er said that she had been helping Zhang's work since she was very young, and knew that Zhang's felt sorry for her because she couldn't wrap her little feet.

In this era, most of the girls in large families are bound to their feet, and the same is true for the families with better conditions. However, in poor conditions, girls also have to work to help the family, so they need to keep a pair of heavenly feet. Therefore, in the eyes of many people, a pair of three-inch golden lotus represents identity. Girls with small feet are more likely to marry into wealthier families.

Although there are also people with better family backgrounds who don't care about this, they are a minority after all. is really like what Man'er said, her virtuous and tolerant attitude has not been taken seriously at home even if it has affected the children, and it has also affected the children's future lives. Zhang sighed heavily, she was worthy of anyone in the Lian family, except for her own children.

"You are all big feet, and you can only marry an ordinary farmer who digs wild vegetables in Chapter 15 in the future. You can't be a young grandmother like a flower, live a happy life, ...... mother, usually don't stop you from working, you are diligent with your hands and feet, and you are good at the work inside and outside the house, and you can take care of the housework when you get to your mother-in-law's house in the future, and your waist is harder. Zhang couldn't help but say what was in his heart.

Lian Zhi'er's face turned red all of a sudden.

Zhang saw that his eldest daughter was ashamed, so he didn't say anything more.

Lian Man'er tilted her head and thought about it. It turns out that small feet mean that you can marry into a wealthy family and live a good life. That is to say, if a woman is not born rich, she must rely on her small feet to win a man and live a good life through marriage. Then she can't live a good life if she is a big foot, if she doesn't rely on marriage and men, can't she make money by herself?

“…… Make money by yourself, buy land, and be a landlord, and you can have a good life with big feet. Lian Man'er said solemnly. Yes, she has to work hard and be a landlord herself.

Zhang and Lian Zhi'er both looked at Lian Man'er.

"You don't believe me?" Lian Man'er raised her head, "Wait and see, I will definitely be able to be a landlord." ”

"Okay, okay, we will definitely be able to be landlords in the future." Zhang said with a perfunctory smile, and personally put on a straw hat for Lian Man'er, and instructed Lian Zhi'er and Wulang to take care of Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi before letting a few children go out.

Not far from the village, there are large fields. It's already August weather, and the crops in the fields are about to ripen, waiting to be harvested. The idyllic scenery is refreshing. While walking, Lian Man'er teased Xiao Qi to talk and understand the situation in the Lian family and the village. Lian Zhi'er and Lian Wulang also explained to Lian Man'er.

Soon, Lian Man'er knew that the village she lived in was called Thirty Liying. This is close to the northern border of the Ming Dynasty, since the opening of the country, this is where the soldiers are located, in order to strengthen the border defense, the imperial court also sent some exiled prisoners here, and later moved from all over the south to many displaced people, this originally deserted place gradually has vitality.

In the 100th anniversary of the founding of the country, the Ming Dynasty advanced the border to the north, the surrounding wars subsided, and the soldiers disarmed and returned to the fields, and many simply stayed. The original Tuntian barracks have gradually become ordinary villages. Only occasionally from the place name, you can also see the original characteristics of the defenders' combat readiness.

Thirty miles of camp is named because it is thirty miles away from Jinyang County, the original frontier town.

"Let's go far, I'm afraid the vegetables near will be dug up." Lian Zhi'er walked ahead with his head.

Walking along the path in the field, there were also children of all sizes carrying baskets in their hands, and they also came out to dig wild vegetables.

"Let's dig here, when I came yesterday, there were a few large pieces of koji hemp here." Walking to a sorghum field, Lian Zhier said.

"Man'er, you're waiting in the field, let's dig vegetables." Gorou said.

Lian Man'er shook her head, she was not so delicate.

"Okay, you follow me, if you feel tired and uncomfortable, you can tell me." Lian Zhi'er said.

Lian Man'er nodded, holding a wicker basket in one hand and a small rake and hoe in the other, and followed Lian Zhi'er into the sorghum field. The children in the countryside were very agile, and they knew that they could not hurt the crops, and they saw that there were large patches of koji hemp growing in several ditches one after another, as well as many other wild vegetables.

"Let's dig right here." Lian Zhi'er squatted down.

Even Man'er squatted down, learned Lian Zhi'er's movements, and dug the koji hemp cabbage into the basket. There are a lot of wild vegetables here, and Lianzhi'er only picks up koji hemp, chaste and amaranth to dig.

"Our pigs and chickens love to eat these." While digging vegetables, Lian Zhi'er talked to Lian Man'er, "If you don't dig enough, gray gray cabbage will also do." ”

Qu hemp cabbage, also called bitter ding cabbage, cha lun cabbage, also called psyllium, and amaranth, these are edible wild vegetables, and the medicinal value is also good.

Lian Zhi'er was very fast, afraid that Lian Man'er would work hard, and from time to time he would put the wild vegetables he dug into Lian Man'er's basket. After a while, the two of them dug up two baskets full of wild vegetables. Gorou and Xiaoqi also dug two baskets, and several children came out of the sorghum field and sat down in the shade of a big tree in the field.

Gorou handed the basket to Lian Zhi'er and took Xiao Qi into the ground again.

"Why are you going?" Lian Man'er greeted.

"Leave them alone, they're wild." Lian Zhi'er told Lian Man'er.

Lian Man'er stopped talking. The children in the village are all born and raised in this land, and they are as comfortable in this field as they are at home. They came out to dig wild vegetables, and also played in the wind.

"Man'er, sister will weave a flower crown for you to wear." Lian Zhi'er spoke, and ran to the grass next to him to pick wild flowers.

Lian Zhi'er picked a handful of yellow, red, blue, and white wildflowers, took them in his hand, twisted left and right, and after a while, he really made up a beautiful flower crown, and he was about to put it on Lian Man'er.

The two sisters laughed for a while, because Lian Man'er still had a wound on his head, and finally Lian Zhi'er put the flower crown on his head.

"Aunt Xiu'er's velvet flowers are so beautiful, don't you say Man'er?" Lian Zhi'er said.

Lian Man'er glanced at Lian Zhi'er and nodded.

"Sister, you will have more beautiful velvet flowers to wear in the future."

Lian Zhi'er smiled, "I don't ask for any velvet flowers to wear, as long as I ......"

"Second sister, here you go, what do you think this is?" The sweat of Lian Wulang and Xiao Qi came out of the sorghum field.
