A large dustpan of radish strips are all put away, and the half-person-high coarse porcelain jar is also filled with more than half, and the white radish is placed in some yellow and bright cold water, which is very gratifying.

When it was done, Yun Fang's breath was also relieved, and a big yawn came out.

The mother touched her head lovingly, "Okay, everything is done, hurry up and go to sleep, tomorrow the Zhou family girl will give a dowry, and there will be a lot of excitement." ”

Lan Danxi likes to watch it very much in modern society, but now she is the ugly girl Yun Fang of the Lan family, when she mentions this word, the first thing she thinks of is those naughty children, and the dirt and small stones they smashed down.

Yun Fang hesitated here, and her mother immediately found that she had lost her mouth, and hurriedly added, "When the time comes, their dowry bearers pass by our door, we don't have to go out, we can see it in our yard, you have to remember to get up early." ”

Mother's seemingly redundant explanation made Yun Fang's heart move, since she seemed to be staring at this face to live here, it was impossible to hide at home, although the child was stubborn, she also had to face it! Only after this pass, she could really live here.

With the idea made, Yun Fang made a happy look, "Mother, I know, go to sleep now, I will definitely not miss the excitement tomorrow." ”

As he spoke, Yun Fang turned around and jumped out of the small ear room.

Looking at Yun Fang's disappearing back, the smile that Niang Qiang held out disappeared little by little, and sighed distressedly, "Hey, Fang'er, this child is twelve years old, after this, ...... in the future"

Before she finished speaking, her mother choked up and couldn't continue, she lifted her shirt and wiped the corners of her eyes, and instructed her eldest daughter, "Tomorrow, if Fang'er insists on going out, you, you have to protect her from being bullied by those naughty children." ”

"Well," Yunhua nodded heavily, "Mother, don't worry, how can I help the Zhou family tomorrow, just go and get busy, I will protect Fang'er." ”

"Hey, thanks to you as a sister. Let's protect her for as long as we can. The mother nodded with satisfaction and instructed, "You should go to sleep too, it's not too early." ”

"Mother, I will. You should go to sleep, too. Yunhua sensibly comforted.

"Sleep, sleep, I have to help Lao Zhou's family tomorrow, this time people take a fancy to our family, and let you go to send your relatives on the day of the official marriage, I have to give someone a good heart tomorrow." The mother also yawned and said casually.

"Mother," Yun Hua wanted to speak and stopped, thought for a while and said, "Actually, I don't really want to send my relatives, I can also eat a table of noodles, and there is nothing good, it is better to be at home." ”

"Silly boy, it's not a matter of eating noodles or not eating noodles," the mother said with disgust, "When you reach this age, it's time to do something that adults do, the Zhou family invited you, and it is also to give our family face, but you can't just push it casually." ”

"Oh, I listen to my mother. Yunhua replied sullenly.

As the mother and daughter spoke, they blew out the oil lamp, closed the wooden door, and went out of the small ear room one after the other.

The Lan family was busy in the middle of the night, and they were all tired.

Especially Yun Fang boiled salt with bitter well water and pickled dried radishes in one go, and after this day, tension, excitement and excitement have been with her. Now, everything is dusty, and as soon as her spirit relaxes, she falls asleep as soon as she gets into the warm bed.

The next day, Yun Fang woke up to the crisp sound of chirping birds.

Similarly, Yun Fang, who woke up comfortably, found that her sister who was next to her was gone. However, because of yesterday's lesson, Yun Fang did not rush to get on fire today, but dressed in an orderly manner, folded the bedding neatly, and slipped off the kang in a hurry.

Yun Fang lifted the curtain of the cotton door and went out of the back room, and sure enough, she saw her sister burning a fire in the stove, and the lid of the round pot sewn with sorghum stalks was steaming, and the fragrance of corn came out with the heat. No need to ask, Yun Fang also guessed that her sister's pot was still cooking corn kernel rice.

looked around, but Yun Fang only saw her sister, her father, mother and brother were gone, which made her feel a little strange, what were they busy with this early morning.

Yun Hua, who was burning the fire, looked up and saw Yun Fang frowning and looking around, she 'poofed' for a while, "Don't look for it, my father and brother went to Zhou's house to help, didn't I tell you yesterday, their girl gave a dowry today." ”

"Oh," Yun Fang nodded as if she didn't understand, to be honest, she didn't know much about the rules of marriage in this era, and for the Zhou family to give a dowry, everyone in the village had to help?

Looking at her sister's expression, Yunhua sighed secretly, feeling helpless and sorry for her sister's almost isolated life over the years, as well as distress and worry about her future.

Exhaling softly, Yunhua explained in a relaxed tone as much as possible, "The Zhou family is going to marry a girl, and they have prepared various supplies such as bedding, furniture, dishes and chopsticks, etc., and this scene will be carried to the other party's house. Wait for ,...... future"

Yunhua wanted to say that it would be like this when their sisters got married in the future, but when she thought of the words that her uncle had bullied her door last night, her heart throbbed and she stopped talking.

Yun Fang knew the reason for her sister's loss, she deliberately dragged a long tail note, let out a loud 'oh', and said with a childish heroism, "I understand." Sister, as for your dowry in the future, my sister will personally sort it out for you. ”

"In the future, let's talk about the future. Yun Hua reluctantly smiled and changed the topic perfunctorily, "The meal is ready, let's get ready to eat." ”

"Wait!" Yun Fang seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurried out the door, shouting, "I'll go get something." ”

Yun Fang trotted into the ear room and ran directly to the coarse porcelain jar where the dried radish was pickled yesterday. I saw that the originally white, crisp and tender dried radish was slightly dark red, and the yellow and bright water was also slightly bubbling.

Yun Fang took a clean bamboo chopstick, carefully took out a dried radish, and couldn't wait to put it in her mouth.

There's a hint of sweetness in the sourness, well, that's the taste! Although it's only been marinated for one night, it's not yet the best time to eat it, but the sweet, sour, salty and delicious taste has begun to take shape.

Yun Fang pressed the ecstasy in her heart, turned around and took a small porcelain bowl, picked a small half bowl of radish strips with bamboo chopsticks, carefully held it, and turned out of the small ear room.
