Shui'er looked around this small village, with track and field paths, a bunch of rice fields, vegetable gardens, and pens of pigs, cows, sheep, chickens and ducks......
This small village on the outskirts of Thang Long City has no name, so people also call it Thang Long Village, and it is a simple and simple place.
Day by day, her ears became more and more familiar with the local language.
At noon that day, she was alone in the house, and several women of different ages suddenly came to the door and said a lot of things to her......
He, the man, busy, bad, woman, she...... And then...... Hey! What are the last two words?
Eat? Cooking rice?
Stunned to see the group of women, she couldn't help but stuff a bowl and a handful of vegetables into her hands, and then, the water suddenly opened.
These women ...... No! Maybe it's someone from Quansheng Long Village? In these days, they have seen her as ...... Ah Jun's woman?
Want...... Also, they live alone under the same roof, and it is too late for me to distinguish whether they are clear and white......
She understood what these women were trying to say, even if she couldn't understand words, and they knew that Ah Jun had saved her life and brought her back to live in this small house...... Therefore, she is "his woman", and a woman cooking for her man and doing housework is a natural thing all day long.
Under several pairs of waiting eyes, Shui'er found that she didn't have the slightest chance to shake her head.
She took a deep breath and told herself that it was okay, she had nothing to do these days because of her injuries, and there was no qin, chess, calligraphy and painting to let her pass the time staring at the scene outside the door, and the man named Ah Jun must have spent a lot of effort and money to take care of her, right? So, what's the point of cooking a meal for him?
To be a man is to know how to repay Entu, this kind of clear truth, how can she not practice it, right?
"Quack! Wail! Wail! "In the distance, a flock of black birds fluttered their wings across the colorful sunset.......
Smoke rises.
The large stoves in Thang Long village are shared, and the women of each family take turns to cook here when the time comes.
These peasant women are also busy nursing their babies and working in the fields with their husbands, so busy that they don't seem to have time to breathe.
The women of all families are not easy to leave with their own dinner sweating profusely, leaving only a small back, as if they are very lonely......
With her head hanging and her neck tucked in, Shui Er crossed her arms under her knees and rested her chin on her knees.
Her expression was blank, and she was in a daze.
The sound of approaching footsteps grabbed her attention slightly, and Shui Er half-turned to look back, and then returned to her original posture without saying a word.
The man who approached her didn't speak, but sat down beside her, wondering what she was staring at the ground.
There was a tray on the floor, and on the tray were two plates and two bowls...... Uh~~ What are those black, stinky, slightly sour things?
"These ...... I cooked it. Sensing his questioning gaze, Shui Er let out a soft and thin self-deprecating laugh, she had never been so uncomfortable in her life. I never thought I was ...... It's useless, I won't do anything, others will make a fire, wash rice, cut meat, cook vegetables...... I'm a big waste, lighting a fire and putting it out, washing rice and dropping it, cooking vegetables and scorching ......" is the "thing" of the two plates and two bowls on the tray!
"It's miserable! I used to ......," but suddenly she was silent again.
Oh, yes! She used to ...... is so pampered, even if she wants to eat, someone will help her serve bowls and chopsticks, she has never really thought about the truth of "who knows that the food on the plate is hard".
Thinking about the picky mouth when eating in the past...... At this time, she really felt extremely embarrassed!
She never thought about what she would do besides piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? After the loss of a pampered environment, it turned out to be ...... She doesn't understand anything, and she's nothing...... Maybe those cats and dogs that are raised in the village are more useful than themselves!
"I ...... It's so sad...... "even if he doesn't understand...... No~~ It's good if you don't understand! She was able to express what she wanted to say.
So she began to speak, saying whatever she wanted, babbling and thinking, silent for a while, sharp for a while, and muttering in a low voice for a while, from the colorful sky to the stars and the moon......
Ahhhh......h It turns out that she has the "potential" of three aunts and six mothers-in-law, which is something she didn't find out before!
"I'm sorry, I ...... I ...... "Oops! It was so late that Shui Er realized that she had leaned into his arms at some point, allowing his arms to be boldly and affectionately wrapped around her shoulders!
"Water?" He didn't care about the natural appearance at all, and took a water bag from his waist and pointed at her throat. "Thirsty, drink water?" Geekedly passed the water to her lips.
"Thank you." She took her hand and drank the first sip of water, only to see that Ah Jun had reached out and picked up a bowl of "things" she had cooked to eat, so frightened that she hurriedly stopped it.
"You...... These things are not tasty...... It's not delicious! She tried to speak in South Vietnamese dialect, and she didn't seem to have been so anxious, so embarrassed, so ashamed, and so angry in her life...... How much she hated the fine clothes and food she had in the first half of her life......
To put it mildly...... To be honest, she's a waste at all, and she can't even cook for ordinary women!
Unexpectedly, he waved his hand and said, "Boil the water...... Okay, I'll eat ......" still insisted on swallowing it in one gulp.
In an instant, the water was stunned.
She could only look at him as if he had no sense of taste at all, and swept away the "food" in a big gulp.
Then she realized that she had received a "gift" that was more precious than gold, silver and jewelry!
Although the words are incomprehensible, this Ah Jun told Shui'er with practical actions that she has been accepted by him, and it has nothing to do with any family background or background, just "she" Shui'er, a simple and pure woman.
"Whew! Exhausted. With great difficulty, they loaded buckets of red paint onto the carriage, wiping their sweat profusely as they watched the carriage leave amid shouting.
Lacquer, a natural resin, has spread all the way from the Central Plains since it was discovered that it could be used to increase color and beauty on utensils, and it was resistant to water and corrosion.
Thang Long City is an important town for lacquer merchants, like Ah Jun and Ah Gan, although the scale of the Chen Ji lacquer shop where they work, although the scale is not small, but it is only one of the leaders, and there are many opponents downstream who are vying to replace it.
A bowl of rice is hard to hold!
"Alright, alright! It's over. Craftsman Lao Chen shouted and high-fived as usual. He is the leader of this group of leaders who learn lacquer art.
"Ugh! Ah Jun, Ah Gan," Lao Chen deliberately stopped the two young men, and only coughed a few times after they turned around, "This ...... Are you okay at night? How about coming to my house for dinner and 'meeting each other'? ”
"Huh?" Ah Gan's eyes widened suddenly, and Ah Jun's big face was calm after a trace of fluctuating emotions.
