Chapter 3 Gossip
The rice borrowed by the Feng family temporarily solved the urgent need in front of them.
It's just that this day has to go on, and I have to think of a way. In the past, Song Yunzhu worked everywhere in the village, doing any job, no matter how dirty and tiring it was. Just to earn a bowl of rice to eat. She and Tian Tian will not starve to death.
But this time she finally picked up a life, because after soaking in the water, most of her lungs were affected, and she was always not very comfortable in the past two days. The illness on his body has not been cured, and it is not easy to do his work.
It was Dr. Yuan who rescued her, so she had to go to Dr. Yuan no longer to see, prescribe some medicine, and cure her.
Song Yunzhu thought like this and rummaged around at home.
Tian Tian looked puzzled, so he blinked his eyes and asked Yunzhu; "What are you looking for?"
"Where's the money?"
Tian Tian smiled: "My mother put things away by herself and forgot about them, didn't you put them under the bed?" ”
Under the bed? Yunzhu almost didn't find a bed.
She squatted down and looked under the bamboo bed, but it was dark, and she could vaguely see a clay pot. I thought that it looked like it was hiding there, but it was a place to put things.
Yunzhu took the jar out and got a hand of ashes, and it was stained with a lot of cobwebs.
A sandbag was placed on the jar, and the cloud bead moved away, and when he touched the jar, it was empty. She shook it, and there was a voice. He turned the jar upside down, and the contents slipped out. Tian Tian helped Yunzhu pick up the spilled copper plates. Yunzhu counted it twice, and there were only twenty-one cents.
I thought that these twenty-one articles were all the property of this family. But what is enough money for the mother and daughter. I can't count on seeing a doctor. Every penny has to be used wisely.
But the disease on her body can't be left untreated, and every time she lies down in the past two nights, she always feels that her chest is very stuffy, as if she can't breathe, and she has to breathe for a while before she stops. She is still young, and she finally survived, where can she not cherish her body.
Yunzhu counted some money in his hand, bent down and said to Tian Tian: "Tian Tian is good, my mother will go to Dr. Yuan to take a look." You're fine at home, don't you know anywhere? ”
Tian Tian nodded with a pair of big watery eyes and said, "Don't worry, mother." ”
Yunzhu rubbed Tian Tian's hair lovingly, this little girl is surprisingly sensible and obedient, and she can help her a lot, which is already very worry-free.
After explaining to Tian Tian, Yun Zhu pulled down his hair casually, and there were no clothes to change, so he went out.
I walked a short distance from the hibiscus fence, but I saw Feng Ping'an walking with a hoe.
Yun Zhu knew that he had carried himself back from the river, so he thanked him: "Thank you Brother Feng for saving me." ”
Feng Ping'an was relieved to see that she was fine, and smiled slightly: "It's nothing, it's just a convenient thing." You should thank Dr. Yuan. ”
"yes, I was going to look for him." Yunzhu said goodbye to Feng Ping'an.
Feng Ping'an nodded and watched her leave. It wasn't until her thin figure disappeared into the bamboo forest that she walked into her yard.
Song Yunzhu relied on her memory and went to Dr. Yuan's house.
Walking past the big locust tree, I saw two women sitting on the long stone chatting, talking Sun Taohua and her mother and Chen Panya's daughter-in-law. Chen Panya's daughter-in-law was busy collecting the soles of her shoes. The two of them didn't know what to say, they were all happy, and suddenly saw Yunzhu coming, and Sun Taohua's mother stood up first, and said with a smile: "Ah, isn't this next door to the Feng family, I haven't seen you for two days." Where to go? ”
Yun Zhu glanced at them, she didn't have the time to chat with these people, so she just said, "Get busy." ”
"Oh, busy." Peach Blossom Lady smiled and nodded, but her eyes kept watching Yunzhu leave.
When Yunzhu walked away, Peach Blossom Niang immediately chatted with Chen Panya's daughter-in-law with great interest: "She is really fateful, she can survive if she jumps into the river." ”
Chen Panya's daughter-in-law smiled: "It's not fate." But she doesn't talk to us people because she's from the city? I don't like her for that. With a sick little girl, I don't know if her husband died, no one cared about running to us, or was thrown here by a man who disliked it. ”
Peach Blossom Lady also laughed and said, "Who knows." Maybe, maybe it was because he stole the man and let the man stay at home without a face, so he ran to the countryside to hide from the limelight. ”
Chen Panya's daughter-in-law also followed: "He still looks a little good, who knows if he is an honest person." Isn't Li Erwa involved with her, she also ran to jump into the river, oops, it's really lively. Let's go, let's go to Ping'an's house and sit down, ask Mrs. Feng, maybe you will know what the origin of this little daughter-in-law is. ”
Peach Blossom Niang said: "The two of them are close, and the Feng family and the little daughter-in-law are close, so they must know something." Let's go, let's go sit down. ”
As the two spoke, they went to Feng's house together.
Feng Ping'an is repairing the chicken coop. Mrs. Feng sat in the yard picking up the sand and gravel in the rice, and after picking for a while, she felt that her eyes were not good, so she called Xiangmei to come over.
Peach Blossom Niang and Chen Panya's daughter-in-law came over after talking and laughing: "Eldest sister, what are you busy with at home?" ”
Feng Lao Niang thought to herself why these two people came, Peach Blossom Niang and Chen Banya's daughter-in-law are the most long-tongued people in the village, what good things can they do when they come to the door. Therefore, he only replied lightly: "Pick rice." ”
Feng Ping'an has always been afraid of these mothers-in-law's mouths, and when he saw them, he had to hide far away, so he took a hoe to level the vegetable patch behind the house under the pretext.
Peach Blossom Niang said with a smile: "When I came over, I saw that the rice in your field was growing really well, or your family is safe and capable and will serve the crops, I'm afraid I can harvest a lot of grain this year." ”
Mrs. Feng was not very enthusiastic: "How much can you fight, it's just a little bit in total, anyway, the people in the family don't starve to death." ”
Chen Panya's daughter-in-law still threaded the needle and thread with her hands and feet, and she didn't look at the soles of her shoes, and the needle and thread shuttled back and forth in her hands with her own feelings, thinking that this peach blossom girl didn't ask about the idea, and she was in a hurry, so she asked with a smile: "By the way, the Feng family lives close to the family next door, and you have a lot of contacts." I just don't know where the little daughter-in-law next door came from?"
Only then did Feng Lao Niang understand that she was coming for the mother and daughter next door, and replied a little indifferently: "I don't know." ”
"Why did you come to our village alone with a daughter, did you have a dead husband, a little widow? Or was it abandoned by men? ”
"I don't know." Mrs. Feng didn't do it either.
Peach Blossom Niang and Chen Banya asked a few words, and Feng Lao Niang also said in such a tone, it seemed that she couldn't find out anything, so she was a little angry, so she said: "You live so close and have contacts, how can you not even know this?" ”
Feng Lao Niang said angrily: "I'm full and have nothing to do, ask people what they do, and I can't keep busy with things at home every day." If you don't have anything to do, please go back, I still have a lot to do. I won't greet you. ”
The two had no choice but to return in defeat.
Xiangmei didn't say a word from beginning to end, and when the two of them walked away, Xiangmei said to her mother: "Good and decent, why did you ask about Sister Song again?" ”
Feng Lao Niang said: "I think they are full and have nothing to do, and there is nothing to arrange." ”
Xiangmei smiled again: "It's a shame that my mother has a solid mouth, and they didn't ask anything." ”
Feng Lao Niang said: "These people like to talk about right and wrong behind their backs, and one day their mouths will be in trouble." ”
