054 Shuttlecock
Yun Ying has been in a surprisingly good mood lately.
There are a lot of chili seedlings in the col that Guan Ping took her to, which is enough to make the watercress chili, red oil chili, kimchi pepper and other ingredients imagined in her mind come true one by one, compared to this good thing, in addition, the various flowers that she couldn't put down in her previous life temporarily let her throw aside, after all, in Lijia Village and even Baijiaji, only the second uncle of Zhenweiju Liu likes flowers.
In addition to flowers and peppers, many wild fruits in the col are also hung with green fruits, which must be able to satisfy the appetite for a while later.
With these as motivation, and a stable income ranging from more than ten or twenty cents every five days, Yunying lived a vigorous life every day, not only helping Jia's weeds in the yard and planting some commonly used ingredients, but also solidifying the thatched poles cut from the pond in his two thatched sheds, which made Gu Banniang's face more and more happy.
Seeing the flower bones emerging on the lettuce, Yun Ying remembered one thing that he had overlooked, remembering to do the work of the bamboo shoots and bamboo shoots, and forgetting to prepare the dried goods of the lettuce. After stir-frying, the cabbage is dried and boiled in rice soup and sprinkled with chopped green onions, which is definitely a delicious and pleasant dish to eat.
At the beginning of March, it is a good time to pick vegetables and make dried vegetables. Qiao Baisheng has been coughing these days, Yuangen didn't go to "class", but he disappeared early in the morning, Yun Ying really loves this pair of sensible and precocious younger siblings, but she doesn't plan to hurt a naughty boy who only knows how to have fun. So he took the back basket and filled Man'er with a handful of fresh cockscomb oil residue that was freshly boiled last night, and led the little girl out to find someone.
The place where Yuangen played was none other than those families, and at this time, he was holding a water gun made of bamboo by Yunying and Qiao Qi's son Qiao Yuanshun on the edge of the well in front of Qiao's yard. was so naughty, Yang not only didn't feel annoyed. Instead, he leaned against the door and cheered the two of them on.
The water gun is the work of Yun Ying last time when she sold Yuangen's strip gun without authorization and went home to cut the land and pay compensation. The principle couldn't be simpler, and the same as medical syringes. A bamboo tube the size of a baby's arm makes a small hole in the place where there is a partition at the bottom. Find a small stick on it, tie it with a cloth towel, and push it in.
But it's such a simple thing, Qiao Xiaobao and Wu Dahu cried and made trouble several times, Xiao Li didn't imitate it, and Xiao Li was not as cheeky as Luo and could find Yun Ying to do it directly, so they could only stand on the edge of the well now and look at Yuangen's "mighty performance" with envious eyes.
Seeing Yun Ying and Man'er coming, the eyes of the two little ones lit up, Wu Dahu said something in Qiao Xiaobao's ear, and Qiao Xiaobao slipped into the courtyard gate. After a while, Gan and Luo left the hospital one after the other.
"Cauliflower......, uh. Yun Ying is carrying a basket on her back, this is going to collect firewood, right? Help your sister-in-law chop two bamboos on the way, and your sister-in-law will also help your nephew make a water gun to play with. "Gan is not like Xiao Li's daughter-in-law, but she talks and acts no different from Luo. After the separation, life was not as good as before, but I remembered the work that Yun Ying's three sisters and brothers did when they were in the yard.
Yun Ying pursed her lips, Yuangen had said several times in her ear last night, Xiao Li's water gun was not successful, and she went to Yang's house to make the water gun for Yuanzhi. Presumably she didn't come up with a reason for dismantling it, so she wanted to coax her to cut the bamboo and come back to make it for them to see.
"Sister-in-law, let's not go to the mountains." Man'er's small mouth is still quite flexible when she doesn't eat, and she blocks Gan's with a word.
"If you don't go to the mountains, what are you doing with a basket? Your family doesn't feed the pigs. Roche's eyes rolled. After eating deflated at Yun Ying's house last time, I wanted to come back and add fuel and vinegar to shake out the close connection between Yun Ying's family and the Guan family, and let my mother-in-law clean up their meal.
Who knew that after hearing about this, the mother-in-law just said lightly: "If the family is separated, it is two families, so what do you do?" After that, it was only strictly stipulated that the old courtyard should not be involved with the Yun Ying family, and Yuangen became an invisible person in the Qiao family.
"I'll go to the river and pick up some hay to start a fire." Yun Ying replied lightly. Save the time when Roche says something to ask her to cut a pigweed.
"Aren't you divided into families, what do you care about so much? Luo, speaking of which, you are still the aunt of Yun Ying's three relatives. Look at the clothes on the three of them, and then look at you and Fen'er. Tsk, don't you have any ideas? "Yang is like a cow guarding her calves. rushed over with great momentum and blocked in front of the three Yun Ying sisters and brothers.
Luo was wearing the new clothes that Qiao Mutou had only put on on on the day he got married, with bright colors and fine stitches, and he knew at a glance that the price was not very cheap; On the other hand, the three Yunying sisters and brothers are still wearing clothes that I don't know which sister handed them down, not to mention the patches and patches, almost all of them are out of shape.
Roche snorted: "What do you think?" Now that the families are divided, it is not uncommon for them to be good; I'm good, and I didn't take advantage of them. What happened to Aunt Kiss? Can there be a father and a mother? People's fathers and mothers are all dressed decently, and others say that they are also talking about them. Gu Banniang bought cloth again after that, and helped Chuncao spin and embroider the wedding dress to make a new brown dress for Qiao Mutou, although the material is the cheapest burlap, but at least there are no patches, and there is no washing and deformation. After that, I don't know if she didn't have time or what happened, and the remaining half of the linen cloth was still left untouched at home.
Seeing the appearance of the Yang family and the Luo family against each other, Man'er took Yun Ying's hand and winked at Yuangen: "Seventh brother, will you accompany us to the river to pick up the grass?" ”
Xu is twins have a good heart, Yuangen quickly glanced at the bulging purse on Man'er's waist, and nodded violently without hesitation, "Okay!" He also turned around and pulled Qiao Yuanshun, who was half wet from his trouser legs: "There are too many people here, don't get their new clothes wet later, let's go to the river and continue playing." ”
Yang waved his hand to send Yun Ying away without looking back: "Take advantage of the good sun, hurry up." Yuanshun, don't play too crazy, let a little root. ”
Yuan Gen and Yuan Shun are not random to play with water guns, Yun Ying, who was walking on the road, found that both of them had a white cloth sewn on their trouser legs, it turned out that they were judging by the wetness of the white cloth, no wonder there were no water marks on their bodies, and they were shooting at their trouser legs according to the rules; At this time, it seems that life is really full of learning.
After crossing the Anlan Bridge, Yun Ying chose the closest to the river ridge, the cabbage field that has not yet fully bloomed, and the purple flowers in the distant lettuce field can faintly see the ploughing cattle and people shuttling between them, Yun Ying has no time to regret that he has no chance to enjoy the grand scenery of the Yunying flower field, but he can't help but be glad that he didn't wait for these fields to turn over again and then think of drying the stubble of the lettuce, otherwise there will only be dry staring.
The environment is the best catalyst, and in her previous life, Yunying, who still had some petty bourgeois sentiments and liked to appreciate flowers and plants, also had to adapt to life, but her petty bourgeois feelings were temporarily transformed into "cheesy thoughts" to support her family and run to a well-off life.
According to her request, the three little ones also learned that she picked the most tender cabbage of the unflowering cabbage and pinched it off, enough to throw it into the back basket, in order to let the three children stay in the field honestly to help, Yun Ying inevitably hollowed out her heart and thought of some small stories to attract them to stay in the field to help, this talk almost lasted for most of the day.
Yun Ying is not the kind of Huang Shiren who completely exploits people and children, and when he saw that his back basket was half full, his mouth was dry and he announced a group break for a quarter of an hour. After two high-pitched cheers, the two boys pulled out the water guns in their baskets and went straight down the high ridge of the river, as if they were going to have a good time with the river.
Yun Ying straightened her neck to check the knee-length water level of Anlan Creek, relieved to pull the back basket to the shade of the tree, and also took Man'er down the river from a distance, just in the shade under the Anlan Bridge, by the way, from time to time to tell Yuangen and Yuanshun not to water their bodies and heads because they are too high, although the sun is shining, it is still March, and the solar calendar she is familiar with is only April and May, and it is not the time to play in the water.
"Sixth sister, you can teach me to play this." Man'er hesitantly took out a colorful thing from the purse on her waist and brought it to Yun Ying, these days because the oil and water can keep up with every meal, the little Lori looks happy with her apricot eyes and peach cheeks.
What she was holding in her hand was Yun Ying's chicken feather shuttlecock, and because she was planning to take it out to test the water and sell it in two days, she was allowed to pick her favorite one last night.
"Really, I also said what are you secretly carrying around? I was reluctant to put it down when I went out to work, so this was it. Yun Ying touched Man'er's bag, took the shuttlecock and shook it in her hand.
After rushing to the market, I heard Guan Ping say that the reason why Asahi City, that is, the county seat where Baijiaji is located, has always been a sword in the past few years is because Asahi City has the largest iron mines in Tengyun and Mochizuki, and when the price of iron is high in other places, it is easy for people in Asahi City to buy some gadgets made of iron.
The bottom bracket of Yunying shuttlecock is the iron ring that she later ordered at the price of a penny in the blacksmith shop, selected the pheasant tail feathers and fixed them on the bottom bracket with scissors, and used the cloth head that Gu Banniang brought home to find Jia's help to add "packaging" to the bottom tray, covering the ugliness below, and finally found soft colored feathers and inserted an inch-long tail feather tube, and the beautiful chicken feather shuttlecock was born.
Yun Ying took the shuttlecock and found a flat place under the bridge, and while explaining the trick of kicking the shuttlecock to Man'er, she began to kick clumsily. After all, it's been a while since she said goodbye to this thing, and she needs to start from scratch.
Just when she picked up the shuttlecock from the ground for the Nth time and started again, a cry of anger suddenly came from the bridge:
"You girl doesn't talk much! There are so many interesting things that I didn't send to Young Master Ben to the Baijia Collection! (To be continued......)
PS: Please order first! Ask for pink! Ask for a tip! Ask for a collection......
In addition, Ai Ai wishes the big friends and children a happy Juneteenth......
