Chapter 12: Opening the Warning
When I returned to the village, it was time to cook dinner, and a few idle ladies gave their daughters-in-law prestige, and simply became shopkeepers, leaving these tasks to my daughter-in-law to do, and talking about homely things in the village.
"Don't you know, what the newly married daughter-in-law in Zuojia Village looks like when it looks ugly......" Aunt Li was arranging the newly married daughter-in-law in the next village, but the person next to her patted her on the shoulder and asked her to look into the distance.
I saw Shen Qingqing carrying a bamboo basket on his back, holding Xiaodouding in one hand, and holding a hare and pheasant in one hand!
This is incredible, and they change the subject instantly.
I saw Aunt Li shouting loudly: "Qingqing went up the mountain." ”
Shen Qingqing was thinking about things in her heart, and when she heard the voice, she hurriedly responded: "Yes, go up the mountain and see if there is anything to eat." ”
But the women's minds were not here at all, and their eyes kept looking at the pheasants and hares in her hands.
Aunt Li stood up, the cloth shoes dragged to her heels, and her eyes looked at her: "Yohe, Qingqing, did you shoot these prey?" ”
When the women in the back heard this, they were shocked, and some of the women patted their thighs and shouted, "It's so green that you can catch these game meat now." ”
Shen Qingqing couldn't explain these things, so he could only explain more and more, and in the end, he just nodded again and again, and walked home like a desert.
This village is small, and the slightest wind and grass can spread quickly, especially a few broken mouths know that it may not be what it will become, Shen Qingqing sat down, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was wrong, this game meat must not be wanted, and the hot potato should be returned to the forest quickly.
Shen Qingqing spread out the chestnuts on top of the mat, and put some water on them to prevent the chestnuts from drying out.
On the mountain, Xiaodouding and the two of them ate a lot of chestnuts, and they were not hungry at this time, so Shen Qingqing and Xiaodouding took the hares and pheasants to the forest house with two words.
Because the Lin family has two sons, there is no shortage of labor, and the village is quite rich.
When every family lived in a thatched house, the Lin family had already built a brick house, and from the house, they crossed one or two paths to the west of the village to reach the Lin family.
As soon as she arrived at the door, Shen Qingqing saw Aunt Lin and Aunt Ouyang at the head of the village sitting in the yard peeling corn, I don't know what they were talking about, and the laughter could be heard from afar.
Aunt Lin is the mother of the forest, although she is thin and small with her little feet, she is strong and capable, and she can remember clearly any grain of rice that she is missing.
Aunt Lin didn't see her coming behind Shen Qingqing's back, and when she was still talking about something, Aunt Ouyang's action of peeling corn in her hand stopped, pointed to the door and said with a smile: "Aunt Lin, your blessing is coming." ”
"Look at what you say, what blessings can I have." Aunt Lin's voice was sharp, and every word was shrewd.
Aunt Ouyang glanced at the door: "That's not, Shen Qingqing is afraid that he is here to bring you good things again." ”
"Shen Qingqing?" When Aunt Lin heard this, she looked at the door, and threw the corn cob in her hand into the dustpan, and put her hands on her legs, obviously displeased.
Shen Qingqing also knew what Aunt Lin's attitude was towards her, and she didn't enter the door through the fence.
Aunt Lin touched the jasper hairpin on her head, and stood up for a while, but she didn't open the door, but just said through the fence: "What are you doing here?" ”
Before Shen Qingqing could speak, Aunt Ouyang smiled and looked idle: "Aunt Lin, look at what you said, what can this Qingqing do, isn't it just to send you something." ”
Because the original owner wanted to marry Lin Nan, there was no rice pot in the house, but if there were any good things, he would give them to Aunt Lin first.
Aunt Lin is not a good person, she has received everything, but she just can't look down on Shen Qingqing.
Aunt Lin also saw the hare pheasant in her hand, with a high-spirited look, although she didn't speak, her expression was clearly waiting for Shen Qingqing to take the initiative to hand it to her.
It was after dinner that the people in the village came out for a walk with nothing to do, and when they saw Shen Qingqing and Aunt Lin like this, they all stopped to watch the excitement.
After a while, there were a lot of people outside the fence of Aunt Lin's house, and some women were eating cucumbers in their mouths, and said: "Aunt Lin, you are really blessed, this daughter-in-law has rushed to bring you food before she has passed the door." ”
"Go, go!" Aunt Lin looked disgusted, and her hands were on her waist. "She, she doesn't look at what kind of goods she is, and the toad wants to eat swan meat and see her own appearance."
This is said without mercy.
Shen Qingqing didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so she forcibly endured the unhappiness in her heart: "Aunt Lin, I'm looking for Lin Zhong." ”
"In the woods?" Aunt Lin thought she had misheard. "What are you looking for him?"
Shen Qingqing raised the pheasant and hare in his hand: "These things were given to me by the forest, I thought I couldn't ask for other people's things for nothing, so I wanted to return them to him." ”
After saying a word, Aunt Lin's face was even more ugly than the seedlings in the field, she thought that Shen Qingqing was in a hurry to give things to herself, but she didn't expect that her son gave them to others.
The people around who watched the excitement were also shocked, and sighed: "These are all good things, what did Lin Zhong give her for?" ”
The talkative woman dared to say anything: "I'm afraid it's not Shen Qingqing in this forest." ”
"Her aunt, don't dare to say this, don't dare to say it."
Aunt Lin's eyes widened, and she gritted her teeth and shouted: "You dog thing in the forest, come out for me!" ”
Lin Zhong was afraid that he was doing work in the house, so he vaguely agreed: "Wait a while, mother." ”
Shen Qingqing didn't have a superfluous word from beginning to end, just stood outside the fence, her hair and clothes neat, but she was a little more quiet.
Aunt Lin looked at Shen Qingqing more and more unpleasantly, and hummed in her mouth: "Shen Qingqing, I don't care where these things came from, but I can tell you, you want to marry Lin Nan's heart when you die." ”
Shen Qingqing felt very helpless, but after all, some things were done by the original owner, and he couldn't explain it clearly, so he could only say: "Aunt Lin, you have thought too much." ”
When a sentence is said, everyone who looks at the excitement is all hehe, this is usually Shen Qingqing and Aunt Lin can't wait to lift her shoes, why has it changed now?
Aunt Lin felt that she had no face, and her words were even worse: "I think too much? You don't want to think about who did the shameless things before, how did it become shameless now again, Shen Qingqing, don't think that you can pretend to be pitiful here. My family Lin Nan is a famous scholar in Shili and Eight Villages, and the girl who wants to marry him is lined up, so don't think about a widow who has a dead husband and a drag oil bottle. As long as you have my breath of old bones, you won't be able to enter the door of the Lin family. ”
Aunt Lin was an ugly word, and then an ugly word was thrown into Shen Qingqing's face.
Shen Qingqing took a long breath, pinned his hair behind his ears and was not angry: "I'll wait in the forest." ”
As he spoke, the door of the inner room at the back opened, and Lin Zhong had already changed into a homely cloth robe, which made him even more powerful, he obviously didn't expect the battle outside to be so big, scratched his hair and said, "What's the matter?" ”
"You still have the face to ask what's wrong?" Aunt Lin's little foot kicked his leg. "You have no conscience, and you still have the face to ask what's wrong?"
"Mother, so many people are here." Aunt Lin didn't know what was going on, but Lin Zhong knew that she couldn't let outsiders see the joke, so she walked in front of Shen Qingqing and spoke. "Why are you here?"
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Shen Qingqing stuffing the hare and pheasant into the hand in the forest, without saying a word, and leaving without looking back.
The crowd around them were dumbfounded, no one spoke for a long time, and finally suddenly they babbled like a boiling pot: "Has this little widow changed her sex?" Why don't you care so much about the Lin family now? ”
"Who knows, could it be that you really figured it out?"
Even if Shen Qingqing was reliant before, but she gave things to Aunt Lin, although Aunt Lin didn't like her, but this greatly satisfied her vanity in the village, Shen Qingqing made this thing today, Aunt Lin just felt that she slapped herself in the face in public.
Others say that they can't scold, but their own son can still do it.
Aunt Lin snatched away the pheasant and hare in Lin Zhong's arms: "I said that your hunting skills are so good, and you have come back with a lot of things before, why don't you have a fart today, it turned out to be given to the widow." ”
"Mother." Lin Zhong frowned, not wanting to make a big deal out of it in front of the people in the village.
But Aunt Lin was unrelenting: "What? Do you still feel wronged? Did I pull you so hard to make your elbows out? If you have no conscience, such a good thing will be given away to others in vain. ”
Seeing that the lively people had not dispersed, Lin Zhong simply closed the door: "I saw that she was pitiful, not to mention that there was no food at home, and she picked up some things that couldn't be put into the pot on the mountain, so I gave her the things." But they didn't ask for it, so it wasn't sent. ”
Aunt Lin pulled his ear and scolded: "Then why don't you give her the things in the house, you can't give her all the white rice and flour in the house, let your brother and I drink the northwest wind." ”
The more Aunt Lin talked, the more boundless she became, and the people who watched the excitement also felt bored and dispersed.
Shen Qingqing went home and drank a glass of water, but she felt that there was nothing after hearing too many ugly words, but when she saw it today, she knew that Aunt Lin was such a difficult person, which made her gasp.
Shen Qingqing went to cook something to eat again, and after eating it with Xiaodouding, he began to have the idea of chestnuts.
The chestnuts were more plump after soaking in water, and they were easy to peel, Shen Qingqing took a large basin, poured all the chestnuts into the big basin, and spread the mat in the yard.
She peeled the chestnuts one by one, and prepared to dry them into dried chestnuts to sell in the market, selling some silver taels to subsidize the family.
Some chestnuts are already bad and have to be thrown away, but most of them are growing very well.
Xiao Douding saw that his mother was busy, and hurried over to help peel chestnuts.
Xiao Douding's eyes never left the chestnut that had been peeled, Shen Qingqing naturally knew what he was thinking, and nodded his nose with a smile: "You can rest assured, my mother left some snacks for Haohao to eat." ”
In this way, Hao Hao can be regarded as happy.
