Chapter 2: Trivia
Chunya looked at Chang Yan's embarrassed face, laughed unceremoniously, and accidentally pulled the swollen place on her face, gasping in pain.
Her second brother is the best for her, and even her second sister-in-law is a few points better for her than Yanni, oh, no, it's a lot better.
"It's okay, it's gone tomorrow. I just saw that my mother has heated up the rice, second brother, are you not hungry? Chunya opened the topic with a smile, and didn't mention what happened in the courtyard just now.
"Of course I'm hungry!" Changyan was happily led astray by Chunya, "Girl, you don't know, that kid from the Han family is as weak as a chicken cub, he can't do anything, I did almost two people's work alone!" ”
"Then second brother, you can eat one more steamed bun in a while!" Chunya jumped off the kang and talked back to Changyan while walking out, the little girl's steps were brisk, and she didn't look sad at all.
Qin glanced at Chang Yan helplessly, wondering why his husband was a fool, and even a little girl could take his words away. Chang Yan can't go against Lao Lintou, but he is a brother, and he can discipline Yanni to some extent!
But the Qin family is also a little glad that Chunya is not willing to earn money with Yan Ni, Yan Ni is shallow-eyed, this is nothing, but the temperament that is used to by the old forest is not good. Now that there is an old forest head at home to protect her, what should she do if she gets married in the future? Can the old forest head go to his mother-in-law's house to protect him? But looking at Yanni's appearance with the old forest, I'm afraid she won't be able to marry any good people.
Chunya didn't say a word to Lao Lin Tou and Yanni since she left the house, she ate silently, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and went to clean up the bed inside.
But Changhong's daughter-in-law Zhao couldn't get used to it, and snorted coldly and said in a weird manner: "Who is this putting on a face for, and it's not us who beat her, what is she doing with us pulling a donkey face." ”
Qin Shi frowned, and persuaded slowly: "The fifth girl is the age of good noodles, and it is naturally uncomfortable to be lost face today, so sister-in-law should not mention this matter again." ”
Zhao rolled his eyes impatiently, twisted his waist and went to feed his son.
When she went to bed at night, Chunya lay in the innermost, next to the Sun family, and then Yan Ni and Qin at the other end. Changhong's family of three has a separate room, Changyan and Lao Lintou and Chunya, and her fourth brother Changji live outside.
The kang was warm, but Chunya still shrunk into the bed. There was a slight snoring from Sun in her ears, and Chunya blinked, and she couldn't see anything at night, and there was nothing to see. In the blink of an eye, tears flowed down his cheeks, across half of his still swollen face.
Chunya bit her lip and didn't let herself cry. How dare she cry during the day, what's the use of crying, her mother is protecting her, but her mother is just a woman who lives on her husband's family, and she can protect her better than her father? Her father is an eccentric person who went to the other side of the mountain, what can she do, what else can she do?
Chunya cried for half a night, and the result was that the next day, not only was half of her face swollen, but even her eyes were swollen.
Before dawn, Sun got up to make breakfast, and Chunya felt shallow, and when she heard the movement, she also got up. Sun didn't see it clearly at first, but when it was dawn outside the meal, he saw Chunya's swollen face like a steamed bun, and he immediately cried and laughed, "Didn't I get you ice cubes yesterday, why is it swollen again?" Why are your eyes swollen too? ”
"Last night the pillow fell to the floor, and the empty eyes were swollen." Chunya replied vaguely.
"Go, go and find a piece of ice outside, and apply it again, the little girl's face is about to swell into steamed buns......" Sun added a handful of firewood to the stove pit, and pushed Chunya out, "Go quickly, your father and they will wake up in a while, and your third sister won't have to laugh at you again." Wear a dress and go out, you can freeze to death in the morning. ”
When Chunya heard this, she went into the house and wrapped a jacket, and went out to find a piece of ice with the handkerchief from yesterday.
O iniquity......
When it was dawn, Yanni got up from the kang. Lao Lin Tou left late today, just to wait for Yanni and lead her to the market.
It will take two or three days to go, and Chunya is thinking that she can finally get a few days of clean days.
Chang Yan led Chang Ji to work in another family, and Chang Hong went to the mountains to chop wood, leaving only a few women at home to take care of the house.
Chunya followed Sun to embroider sweat towels in the house. There are many women who can sew and mend in this ravine, but the one who can embroider is the Sun family. The beautiful big girl and little daughter-in-law in the village will send a few pieces of fabric to ask Sun to embroider beautiful patterns on weekdays, so that they can take it back to make clothes, and Sun can also earn some money to subsidize the family.
Although Chunya is not very old, she has been doing needlework with Sun since she was a child, and she can't be called an embroiderer, but she can also do it.
After following Sun for almost an hour, Chunya felt that her back was not straight. Putting down the embroidery shed in his hand, he looked up at Sun, "Mother, you're not tired, why don't you rest?" ”
Sun smiled, but the work in his hand was not strong, "If you are tired, go out for a walk, go to play with the tiger girl, don't be confined in the house anymore." ”
"What's fun with Tiger Girl, she knows how to eat it all day long. Last time, if she hadn't dragged me to Aunt Zhang's house to steal sweet potatoes, how could I be scolded by my father" Chunya rolled her eyes and stretched, "Mother, I'll go to the forest to dig dried fruits." ”
Sun scolded with a smile: "I also said that people are gluttonous, if you are not a glutton, what are you doing with pine cones!" Let's go again tomorrow, and I'll bring food to your second brother at noon. ”
Chunya stuck out her tongue, jumped off the kang and ran out. Outside, the Qin family is helping others write letters, and the Qin family is literate and hyphenated, and he can earn a little money by helping other families write letters on weekdays.
Chunya jumped behind Qin to watch her write, and saw Qin write: "...... The book is not enough, the words are not enough, and the words are endless. Chunya only knew the word "discord", and she didn't know what Qin meant by what she wrote, so she could only blink her eyes and watch the small characters in Qin's pen leap onto the paper.
Qin took the letter aside to dry, then folded it into an envelope and handed it to the woman opposite. The woman thanked her repeatedly, took out three eggs and handed them to Qin, put the letter into her arms like a baby, and hurried away.
Qin Shi looked back at Chunya and deliberately lowered his voice to tease her: "It's exactly three eggs, let's divide it, don't tell my sister-in-law." ”
Chunya laughed with a "sneer".
At noon, the Qin family really boiled the three eggs and gave one to the Sun family and Chunya, and the rest to Meng Ge'er. Chunya looked at it and rolled her eyes, how old is Meng Ge'er, if she gave Meng Ge'er to it, she would not be eaten by her sister-in-law, it would be better for them to eat it secretly......
Chunya was about to go out with the lunch box, but Sun stopped her, took out an egg from her arms, and stuffed it into Chunya's hand, "Go and send it to your second brother, don't let your fourth brother see it, he came back and nagged me again." ”
Chunya grabbed the still warm egg in her hand, smiled, and took one out of her arms, "Coincidentally, I also left one for the second brother." Mother, this should be left to the fourth brother, and the second brother of the province can't hide his big mouth. ”
Without waiting for Sun to say anything, Chunya left quickly.
The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, but people's hearts are not a scale, how can a bowl of water be flat, just like the old Lin Tou is more rare Changhong and Yanni, Sun also prefers Changyan and Chunya, and Chunya prefers the second sister-in-law more than the eldest sister-in-law. There is no fairness in this world, but it is just a matter of who gets the stronger and more favorable love according to their ability.
Chunya tugged on her sleeve and wiped her eyes, the coarse cloth jacket didn't feel very good on the skin, Chunya looked at the small piece of water on the cuffs, and suddenly remembered that this was still Yanni's old jacket, at that time, Sun had a lot of tongue in order to let her wear it, and finally embroidered a few small flowers on the cuffs and placket before she was willing to wear it.
Afraid that the food would be cold, Chunya walked fast, picked a trail and walked to the place where Changyan worked. When Chang Yan saw her, he didn't forget to joke with her: "Sure enough, it has to be a sister to deliver the meal, your sister-in-law is not as fast as the five girls." Ay? Why are there eggs today? Girl, are you going with the tiger girl again......"
"You can't eat anything." Chunya interrupted Changyan's words, "This egg was given by the second sister-in-law who wrote a letter to someone, but the second sister-in-law didn't eat any of them, just to keep them for you." ”
Chang Yan scratched his head hehe, Chunya really couldn't stand his stupid appearance, so he left without saying more.
When I went back, I met Aunt Zhang again, and Chunya just wanted to hide, but Aunt Zhang had sharp eyes and hurriedly stopped her.
"Chunya, I've sent food to your second brother." Aunt Zhang smiled like the mute person playing on the street, and she could only respond stiffly.
"But what a good boy, your mother is good, she hides you all day long, a golden and expensive female doll, it's not for anyone to see."
She came out to do the laundry yesterday......
Aunt Zhang didn't know what Chunya was slandering in her belly, and then chattered: "Look at this little face, how delicate it is, and I don't know which kid will be cheaper in the end." ”
How can you see the beauty of this swollen face......
Chunya intuitively felt that today's Aunt Zhang was very wrong, and smiled awkwardly, "Auntie, my mother told me to go back to do needlework earlier, and if it's too late, I will be scolded." ”
"You kid is good at, your mother is precious to you, how can she be willing to scold you." Aunt Zhang was very dissatisfied with Chunya interrupting her, but she still reluctantly let Chunya go.
Chunya didn't go out again when she got home, she didn't go to shave pine cones or send food to Changyan, she honestly had been a cat for two days, and she was afraid that she would be dragged by Aunt Zhang again.
On the third day, Lao Lin Tou led Yanni back, Yanni wore a new set of clothes, and deliberately ran to Chunya to shake a few laps, showing off self-evidently.
It was the old Lin Tou, who gave Chunya a head rope with a stiff smile, and touched Chunya's head lovingly.
Chunya was a little surprised, in the past, Lao Lintou would never bring anything to her when she went to the market, let alone a brightly colored hair rope, she used to pick some wild flower hairpins on her head as flowers, and the only hair ornament was a wooden hairpin that Changyan secretly saved money to buy for her, but her hair was thin and she couldn't wear it, so she had to put it in a box.
Chunya didn't know what kind of wind Lao Lin Tou was smoking, but she still thanked her very happily, and only hid in the house at night and sneered.
Qin Shi also laughed when he saw it, obviously she was a little girl who could be happy for a long time with a head rope, and she had to pretend that she would not be invaded by a hundred poisons on weekdays. But how can there be a person in this world who is born strong, and it is not a copper wall built in cold words and cold words, expectations and disappointments again and again, but a little warmth from others can scald this wall.
