100. A humble new home
On the day that Aunt Lu went to the town to pick up the Yan'er sisters, the star fruit got up early, and after breakfast, she began to draw the base map. Carambola reluctantly painted a few more under the clamor of Xia Dongyun, and began to teach Liu Tao, who came to learn painting quietly.
Carambola patiently told Liu Tao about the skills of painting, but it was inevitable to sigh in his heart, this painting mainly depends on talent, although her talent is not high, but she learned early, I can't wait to learn from kindergarten, and I have more than ten years of skills, although Liu Tao learned very seriously, but the things drawn are still unsatisfactory.
Fortunately, Liu Tao was not discouraged, and met the star fruit, a rather patient master, so although the painting is shallow, fooling the layman, it is a little bit like it.
Hearing that star fruit said that two sisters would come to the village in the afternoon, Xia Dongyun was very excited. This Xia Dongyun is also considered to be Zhouzheng, and she can be counted among the girls in the village, so she is very concerned about the appearance of the Yan'er sisters, and the star fruit deliberately teases her, and does not tell her, only let her see it by herself when she is in time.
In the afternoon, the star fruit handed over the matter of teaching the children to Xia Dongyun and Liu Cheng, and he hurried to draw a few simple base maps, a total of ten, and handed them over to Liu Tao to expand first, and told a short story to the children, so he hurriedly dismissed everyone, and took Xia Dongyun, Liu Cheng and Chun'er, and ran to the small courtyard next to Lu Da Niang's house to wait.
In the past, whenever I returned to Lu Da Niang's house, star fruit didn't pay much attention to the small courtyard, but I felt that it was dilapidated and old, similar to my own home, and I thought it was someone's home, and I didn't know that no one lived there.
Now, the courtyard and the house have been cleaned by Aunt Lu and Aunt Liu, and they look much better than before.
The main house is south-facing, smaller than the carambola's house, and when you walk in, it's just a long room. It is not divided into two small rooms. The beds were left by the original family, exactly two, and they were placed on the north side of the house, leaving a small gap in the middle, which was not facing the door.
I don't know who brought the quilt, but it was very clean. The pillow was new, and Aunt Lu and Aunt Liu took the time to use the remaining rags to put together the pillow, which was buckwheat peel. There was no curtain on the bed, it looked bare, and it didn't look like a girl's boudoir.
Star fruit thinks about geese and fish, looking at the thin skin and tender meat, I don't know if I can adapt to such an environment. If they are the down-and-out ladies of a big family, it is estimated that they may not be more adaptable than her, a person from another time and space.
In addition to the two beds, there was only one low table left in the room. Two small benches for eating. Seeing that there was really no place to sit, Carambola had to take the three of Xia Dongyun out.
There wasn't much in the yard, there might have been a dead tree, and all that had been cut down was its roots, and it stood there like a work of art, and a few stones of different shapes and sizes. The stone surface is flat and can be used as a stool. I think it's also left by the original family.
There is also a jar in the yard, and there is a hole in the mouth of the cylinder, but it can still be used, and it is covered with a straw curtain, and the star fruit has taken a look, and it is already full of water. I don't know which uncle or brother helped call.
There is a small shed on the west side. Star fruit already knows that this kind of small shed with a semi-open roof is used as a toilet, and half of the shed is a big pit, and all the urine and urine are in it. It is then covered with grass ash and can be used as fertilizer in the future. The other half is much higher, and some people will put one or two cages and raise a few chicks.
The cooking place is also in the south of the yard, apparently no one has used it for a long time, and it is very shabby. Star fruit went in and took a look, there was only a big pot, and there were a few small jars next to it, which were rice, noodles and something, which were also put together by your family and my family.
The star fruit opened the smallest jar again and looked at it, there was some big oil in it, this star fruit knew that grandma usually took off the meat she bought, and the fat was removed, and it would also be refined into oil and kept for stir-frying. Carambola suddenly remembered that one day grandma went out with a bowl, and it was estimated that it was sent here.
Although there are not many things, and they are a little shabby, they are quite complete, at least so that the Yan'er sisters can eat and sleep for a while.
Carambola remembered what Aunt Liu had said, at least Aunt Liu and Aunt Lu meant that they wanted the Yan'er sisters to also embroider or make two cloth stickers or something like that, and make money to support themselves.
This is a good idea, and I think that the Yan'er sisters will not be reluctant to do it.
After turning around like this, star fruit and orange are nothing, especially star fruit, I feel that the people in the village are also dedicated. But Xia Dongyun kept frowning, covering his nose with a handkerchief from time to time, shouting that there was a strange smell in this yard, and even Chun'er frowned.
Of course, star fruit also smelled the kind of moldy smell that no one had lived in for a long time, but glared at Xia Dongyun.
"Miss, this is good! You think everyone is like you, you don't have to do anything, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and when Sister Yan'er and Sister Yu'er live, they will slowly become popular, and they will be haode. ”
"Sister Yan'er! Sister Yu'er! Xia Dongyun pursed his lips, learning the tone of star fruit, and the words he said were a little sour. You call this intimacy! I'm also older than you, why don't you call me sister? ”
"Xia Dongyun, where do you have the appearance of a sister!" Willow Orange also glared and pouted. "I'm arguing and arguing with me all day long, I'm annoyed!"
These two girls also slowly learned "I" and "I" for a while, except for the time to teach others, as long as they saw Xia Dongyun, the two of them kept arguing.
"Good! You two are bullying me again! "Xia Dong Yun screamed, and went to win over Chun'er." Chun'er, tell me about them. ”
"I won't say. Miss, you are so powerful, you can say it yourself! Chun'er grinned, and she was not afraid of summer and winter clouds.
"I protest, you bought them one by one." Xia Dongyun shouted. "I decided to wait for the geese and the fish to come, and buy the two of them first."
"It's late, I've already bought it first, and they will definitely be more affectionate to me than you." Star fruit deliberately angry in summer and winter. "You'd better save it! It's okay to come to my house more to play, saving your eldest lady's style and touching people's sadness. ”
"That's just as well." Xia Dongyun didn't go against star fruit this time. "If they were young ladies from a big family before, I really have to pay attention. Alas! Xia Dongyun sighed deliberately. I'm still with you and Orange, I'm used to being bullied by you anyway. ”
Star fruit and willow orange looked at each other and smiled smugly.
To say that Xia Dongyun and the big girl Liu Tao spend more time together than the second girl, because Liu Cheng has to come to learn to paint almost every day, or take the base map, sometimes in the carambola's house to expand the map, but the second girl basically does not come in the morning, or only comes once every three or five days, and can only meet Xia Dongyun in the afternoon.
And Liu Tao will always smile good-natured when they quarrel, and the second girl will help star fruit fight Xia Dongyun, but Xia Dongyun is closer to Liu Cheng than Liu Tao, it seems that things are really like things, and it is not bad at all.
A few people were arguing happily, Aunt Liu, Aunt Lu, and the Meng family came, and Grandma and Grandma Liu also arrived, and Aunt Feng was about to give birth to a child, so she rarely came to crowded places.
When the star fruit looked at it again, even Xiaoyu, Shui Xiang, Liu Ju and the other children in the village came. Dizzy! Is this to show the enthusiasm of the villagers? I still want to scare people!
Among the many people, there is only a lack of willow peach. Carambola thought that Liu Tao might be seriously expanding the map now, and she didn't care.
Since everyone is here, they can't let anyone go back, so a few elders sat down on the stones in the courtyard, estimating that if Aunt Lu and they had nothing to do, they should also arrive.
A few people were chatting when they heard Xiaoyu scream.
"It's coming, it's coming."
Everyone stood up and walked towards the gate one after another, and sure enough, Aunt Lu came over with two beautiful girls, grandma, Aunt Liu and star fruit, they had seen geese and fish, but everyone else was full of surprise.
"Yikes! He's really handsome. "Aunt Lu was the first to scream." The most important thing is not to see through it very well, but it can't hide the grandeur of this whole body. ”
"Yes, it must be a big family that has suffered." Meng also said. "We say all the time that Peaches may be the children of big families, but Peaches don't have this style, but they are very generous, and there is a bit of the wildness of our mountain people."
Meng said, and touched the head of the star fruit.
Carambola really couldn't hear whether the aunt was praising her or praising her, but it could be seen from her actions that she was indeed praising her.
In other words, she doesn't know what the identity of this little body is, of course, what she shows is the most true self, she is a little generous, and she is reluctant to be wild, and sometimes she pretends to be well-behaved and sweet, as for the concept of the big family, it is estimated that the people in the village know more about her.
It's just that Aunt Lu and Meng's words made the star fruit re-examine Yan'er and Yu'er, before she just thought that the two sisters were strange and pitiful, and didn't pay attention to anything imposing, but now that she was reminded like this, she felt that it was really a little, it seems that the two sisters were not just rich in the past, maybe they were the children of the princely general's family.
Ahh It can't be the children of the Helian royal family! Pretending to take refuge in the Baili Dynasty, and now suddenly wants to rebel, but it is discovered, and the whole family is imprisoned or killed, leaving only the two sisters who escaped and ran to Mizhen, becoming strangers in this important border town of Nan'an.
Star fruit is good at imagining, not to mention knowing Pei Yifan's life experience, you must know that even Pei Yifan, a little prince of the Helian royal family, is the little prince of the Helian royal family, what magical thing can't happen on this shijie?
However, this ancient frontier defense is really not very good! The people of Beichen can come to Nan'an so casually, so no one is worried about an army suddenly coming? (To be continued......)
