Chapter 6 Cooking Smoke Cooking Smoke
The yard of an ordinary farmhouse is probably a poor family, which seems a little simple, but the inside is well maintained, and the owner must be a diligent person.
Three thatched huts are enclosed in a courtyard, the courtyard wall is a simple bamboo fence, a corner is opened up, and some vegetables and melons are planted, and the growth is good. Opposite the vegetable garden, a hut was built on a few large logs, and the thatched-roof chimney was filled with smoke, and the owner was busy cooking.
The woman wore a plain dress, the most ordinary peasant woman's dress, seeing that she was not very old, she should be in the boudoir.
However, seeing that she is familiar with her movements, she often does work, and she seems to be the only one in this family, but she can make this family to such a point, and she wants to be a person who is liked by others.
The woman was born handsome, and although she was busy with her work and did not apply powder, her complexion was a little dark, but it did not prevent her from becoming famous in the surrounding village.
Speaking of which, the threshold of her house must have been stepped on by the person who said she was close to.
The woman had already opened the lid of the bamboo pot, and a cloud of heat rose open, and a bitter breath overflowed.
There was no rice boiling in the pot, but herbs she had just dug up from the mountains.
Hearing someone calling her outside, the woman closed the lid, took a few pieces of firewood from the stove and threw them into the stove, and walked out.
But I saw a peasant woman in her thirties outside the bamboo gate, looking at her with a smile on her face, and when she approached, before she could speak, the peasant woman had already spoken, "If you want to find a husband, you don't want to be tired!" ”
The grievances of the peasant woman, among the neighbors, her distress is not fake.
The woman opened the door with a smile and welcomed the peasant woman in, "Third aunt, it's okay." I've really found my husband's house, and I still have to do this work, maybe more than that. ”
The peasant woman sighed, "Women, that's what they are, with a man, they can be regarded as having a dependent." ”
While talking, she entered the main house, and the woman went to the table and poured a bowl of water and handed it to the peasant woman, "Is there something wrong with the third aunt looking for me?" ”
The peasant woman took the rough earthen bowl, held it in her hand, stared at the spiritual position on the incense table directly opposite, and looked away for a long time, "What did you think about what I told you last time?" That Sun Gongzi is a talented man, if you marry in the past, you will definitely be able to live a good life. ”
After some talking, she suddenly saw the consistent smile on the corner of the woman's mouth, and the peasant woman stopped, drank a sip of cold tea, and said helplessly: "You don't listen to what I say, so much saliva is wasted."
The woman smiled, as if she was coquettish, "The third aunt drinks water......"
Seeing the peasant woman shaking her head, the woman comforted: "I understand the third aunt's heart." The woman's gaze moved to the tablet on the case, her eyes showing sadness, "But my father has just passed away, and Ling'er is still in the period of filial piety, so I can't think about these things." ”
The peasant woman's rough hand shook the woman's hand, as if she was also aroused, "You...... I don't want to get married, but I always talk about your father. ”
"Third aunt, you will push this kind of thing for me in the future!" The woman pursed her lips and smiled, but there was a little more bitterness.
The peasant woman nodded, "I see." ”
Hearing an exclamation, the woman stood up, stunned for a moment, and ran out eagerly, and the peasant woman went out with her, and saw the woman busy working on the stove, and her little face was red from the steam.
said that it was too late, and then quickly, the woman scooped a scoop of water from the water tank next to her, poured it into the stove, snorted, the dust overflowed, the woman instantly discouraged, and then looked at the medicine boiled dry in the pot, and stomped her feet angrily.
The peasant woman had already run over, but she probably didn't have time to react to everything in front of her, and she had already become like this.
"You baby, why are you still so anxious, if you are so anxious about other things, I'm afraid the child will be able to walk."
The woman's voice suddenly raised and she called, "Third aunt......"
The peasant woman laughed and went about her work, as if she had turned a deaf ear to it.
After cleaning up, the peasant woman looked up at the sun, "I should go back to cooking, your third uncle is coming back soon." ”
"Aunt San, go slowly."
The peasant woman walked out of a distance, turned back again, endured for a long time and still spoke, "That person in your family ......"
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing...... It's your third uncle, they said I'm afraid he's not a good person, you should be careful! ”
The woman nodded, "Hmm...... He can't do much now! ”
"Well, I don't know what you think. A good Xiucai Gong doesn't serve it, but waits for such a living dead! ”
The peasant woman left, and naturally she didn't hear the woman's broken thoughts. The woman looked back at the room on her left, confused.
At the end of April and the beginning of May in the seventh year of the new dynasty, the weather gradually came out of the rain, and the sun became warm.
Ji Ling'er from Daxu Village is almost eighteen years old, and the excuse she used to prevaricate others to say goodbye is also facing invalidation, and it will be difficult for her to be calm on the door from now on.
In normal times, she would have taken her father's tablet on her back and hid in the mountains, but now she is a little embarrassed, and there is a living dead in the family who she can't carry.
Ji Ling'er was a little angry, so she added a dosage to the medicinal bath of the living dead, and she said "It's all your fault...... It's all your fault! ”
The days are really not so peaceful anymore, and after rejecting several waves of matchmakers, some gossip gradually spread. On the day Ji Ling'er was preparing for Duanyang, these gossips reached her ears, and she was angry, and everyone who came to the door mentioned family affairs was beaten out by her with a broom.
The children in the village hid from afar when they saw her, and some even called her a "wicked woman".
Ji Linger was a little sad, so she hid at home all day, occasionally boiling medicine, occasionally squatting on the edge of the vegetable field, holding her chin and talking to the beans, I don't know if it was because after a long time, the beans couldn't stand it, and they were crazy for a long time.
Ji Ling'er occasionally squatted next to the bathtub in the pharmacy, looking at the person in the bucket who didn't know whether to live or die, and was so aggrieved that she wanted to cry, "You're fine, you don't listen or ask, but you hurt me." ”
She will also say some cruel words, "You, if you want to die, you can die quickly, we are all easy to die, if you don't want to die, hurry up and come back to life, listen to those gossip, you are a man, go and beat them." ”
Ji Ling'er played the piano to the cow for a while, and then ran to her father's tablet, put on the pillar incense, kowtowed seriously, and then said angrily, "It's all my father who caused trouble, teach me what is bad, teach me to save the life and help the wounded, look, now your daughter can't get married because of this." ”
She would also mischievously say, "Hmph, old man, you don't have any grandchildren!" ”
I don't know if the spirit of heaven really heard it, and the tablet fell down with a bang, so frightened that Ji Ling'er hurriedly knelt down, her eyes rolled, and she begged for mercy: "Dad, my daughter is wrong, my daughter must work hard to marry......"
As she spoke, Ji Ling'er cried again, her eyes staring at the tablet, "Dad, my daughter misses you so much...... I miss you so much! ”
Cigarettes soared into the sky, and tears fell to the ground.
Life is probably like this.
