When Yang Yaozong explained how to sprout seedlings for the women, several people around Liao Qiniang were observing him and asking Liao Qiniang. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Qi Niang, who is this son?" Liao Qiniang's father, Liao Dingyuan, asked.

"I'm tied up the mountain." Liao Qiniang replied calmly.

"Tie up the mountain?" Liao Qiniang's second uncle looked at Liao Qiniang strangely and asked.

The sixth brother of Liao Dingyuan, Chen Guanghan and Liao Qiniang also looked at Liao Qiniang with questions.

Liao Qiniang nodded and told them all the reasons for kidnapping Yang Yaozong.

After hearing this, Liao Dingyuan frowned and stared at Liao Qiniang and said, "Then why did you take this person to Guding?" ”

"He wants to go to the top of the mountain to see, I also want to give him some sweetness, so that he can train horses for me with peace of mind, and he should be good at learning, and he is going to Beijing to study, so I want to leave him in Guding to be a gentleman for the children." Liao Qiniang said calmly.

"Will he want to stay?" Sixth brother Liao Qiniang asked.

"It doesn't matter if he wants it or not, as long as I want to." Liao Qiniang narrowed her eyes slightly, staring at Yang Yaozong, who was chatting with the women outside.

"I don't think this person's bearing is like an ordinary person, and he won't be just a scholar. If you want to keep him, I'm afraid it's not that easy. Chen Guanghan said.

"Hmmm! I think so, too. You say that he is a scholar, but he has no fear of you and the mountain bandits, and you see that he is still chatting with those women, which is something that ordinary scholars cannot do and disdain. If he is not a scholar, according to what you said, he will only know a few words of incision in the rivers and lakes, and even if he can say a few words of incision outside the border that we have not heard of, it is estimated that he heard about it from somewhere, and he doesn't even know where the most basic informant family master comes from, and he will definitely not be a fellow practitioner. I watched him move calmly, this is in the bandits' den, and in front of you, the big boss, this person is young, can have such a temperament, it is definitely not a simple background, I am afraid that he was born in an official family. If you can keep him, it's fine, but if you can't...... In short, he can't be allowed to leak the things in the cottage. Liao Dingyuan stared at Liao Qiniang deeply, with a solemn expression.

Liao Qiniang didn't expect her father to attach so much importance to Yang Yaozong. Although she also thinks that Yang Yaozong is different, she has a unique temperament that she does not debut from. However, she had always believed in her father's eyes. So he nodded silently, got up and said, "I'll go talk to him first." ”

********

Liao Qiniang walked near Yang Yaozong, and saw that at this time, Yang Yaozong not only had a few sisters-in-law around him, but also some children gathered in front of him. He was sitting on the ground at this time, talking and demonstrating how to grow seedlings.

Yang Yaozong pulled out a green vegetable and said: "The growth of vegetable crops needs to be exposed to sunlight. If you plant these greens too densely, or slowly grow more and more densely as they grow, it will affect their exposure to the sun, and they will fight for the sun's long stems, and as a result, they will become "long-legged seedlings". Yang Yaozong took the pulled vegetables and shook them in front of the eyes of the women around him.

The surrounding women were happy, and several children were jumping and shouting, "Long-legged Miao, long-legged Miao." Then he was reprimanded by the women. Although the children were silent, they all looked at Yang Yaozong with a smile.

Yang Yaozong continued: "The function of the seedlings is to make each vegetable get enough sunlight, water and fertilizer, and also to make the seedlings have sufficient air circulation and sunshine, so that they can grow big and strong, and can also prevent many pests and diseases. ”

Although the women didn't understand very well, they almost understood nine times out of ten, and they all nodded.

Yang Yaozong said while starting to thin the seedlings: "That's like this, with the growth of green vegetables, it is necessary to carry out many times of thinning seedlings, and each time the seedlings should not be too much, pull out the dense seedlings and the weak seedlings, and retain the strong seedlings." As for the distance between seedlings, it is enough to ensure that the leaves are connected to each other and do not overlap. After the seedlings are thinned, the bed should be evenly covered with a layer of wet soil, gently compacted, or lightly sprayed with water, and after the leaves are dry, lightly covered with soil once to avoid hurting the seedling roots. Finally, use a soft duster to gently brush away any remaining soil from the leaves. After thinning seedlings, they should be watered in time to prevent the loose seedlings from drying up during the thinning process. ”

Yang Yaozong demonstrated how to thin the seedlings and how to cover the soil and water them after seeing the seedlings. Then he got up and patted the dirt on his hands, and then patted the dirt on his pants and said, "In this way, the greens can grow big and strong." Sister-in-law, you can try to get this vegetable plot first, this green vegetable grows fast, and you can see the difference between the growth of green vegetables between seedlings and non-seedlings in a few days. Then you decide whether or not to do what I say. ”

Yang Yaozong took the green vegetables that came out of the room and said: "The green vegetables that come out of the room can be fried and eaten, and eaten in soup." If it's too much to eat, it's okay to feed the chickens and pigs you raise on the top of this mountain, it's better than feeding the insects with worms in the greens. ”

The women all laughed, and a woman went up and touched Yang Yaozong's hand and said, "Look at your little Langjun's smooth and tender hands, I really can't see that you are still a good farmer." The woman boldly took advantage of Yang Yaozong, and the other women all pushed the woman when they saw it, and then laughed.

Yang Yaozong liked this group of straightforward women very much, and he also smiled happily.

At this time, a woman found Liao Qiniang standing not far away, and hurriedly said, "Qiniang is here." So the group of women walked to Qi Niang's side again, and talked to Qi Niang about the method of seedlings that Yang Yaozong taught them, and praised Yang Yaozong by the way.

And Yang Yaozong was entangled by a group of children around him. A child said, "Big brother, you are so powerful, do you know how to tell stories?" “

Yang Yaozong picked up the child and said, "How do I remember that you called her an aunt?" Yang Yaozong pointed at Liao Qiniang.

Although Liao Qiniang was talking with the women, she was focusing on Yang Yaozong and listening to what Yang Yaozong was saying.

The child said, "Yes, my mother said to let me call my aunt Qiniang." ”

Yang Yaozong said: "If you call him aunt, you have to call me uncle." You know? ”

A child standing beside Yang Yaozong said, "Then I call Qi Niang sister, what do you call you?" ”

Yang Yaozong snorted and whispered, "If you're afraid of trouble." The child in Yang Yaozong's arms said to the children around him: "You can all call me uncle like him." ”

Then I heard the children surrounding Uncle Yang Yaozong, and the uncle kept shouting.

Although Yang Yaozong's voice was small, it was still heard by Liao Qiniang. She burst out laughing, but hurriedly pretended to be happy and happy chatting with the woman next to her.

Yang Yaozong saw Liao Qiniang's smile and said in his heart, this woman looks really good when she laughs.

Yang Yaozong hugged the child in his arms and simply sat on the ground again and said, "Then I'll tell you a story." “

So Yang Yaozong told the children a story about Kong Rongrang pear, and after telling the story, he also asked the children questions and told the children to learn to be humble. The children all nodded obediently, and then pestered Yang Yaozong to continue telling the story. So Yang Yaozong told the children the story of the wolf.

The children all gathered quietly around Yang Yaozong, listening to Yang Yaozong's colorful storytelling.

The women's attention was also attracted by Yang Yaozong.

A woman asked Liao Qi Niang in a low voice: "Qi Niang, this Xiao Langjun is a scholar?" “

Liao Qiniang smiled and nodded.

The next few women whispered to each other.

"A scholar can even do farm work. It's a rarity. “

"Well, he's still so handsome, and he hasn't been a scholar yet. It's pleasing to watch. “

"I look at this handsome scholar and our Qi Niang, but they are quite a good match." A woman's unintentional words made Liao Qiniang's face red, and she felt very ashamed in her heart. But Liao Qi Niang's face gradually straightened.

The women also knew that they were not to joke about such things. So they all laughed and laughed. The topic did not continue. Instead, they quieted down and listened to the story of the wolf that Yang Yaozong told the children.

After Yang Yaozong finished telling the story, he told the children about the meaning of the story, and then asked, "What kind of children do you want to be?" “

The children's collective voices replied in a loud voice: "Honest children! “

Yang Yaozong nodded with satisfaction.

The women around Liao Qiniang seemed to be moved by the sudden sensibility of the children who only knew naughty every day. There were tears in their eyes, and some even raised their sleeves to wipe the corners of their eyes.

When the children saw that Yang Yaozong was about to get up, they hurriedly held him down and begged: "Uncle, uncle, let's talk about one more, talk about one more." ”

Yang Yaozong looked at this group of innocent and poor children, rubbed their heads and said, "Okay, is it okay for uncle to teach you a poem?" ”

Liao Qiniang's sixth brother will teach the children to recognize some words and memorize some poems every day. But he doesn't know much himself, and he teaches very rigidly, and although children can learn something, they don't like to listen very much. The story told by Yang Yaozong is vivid and contains truth, and he also interacts with the children, so the children like to listen to it, and now this group of children has thought that as long as it is told by the uncle in front of them, nothing will be very interesting.

Yang Yaozong asked the child to be quiet and said, "Then, if I say something, you will say a word to me." ”

The children all stared at Yang Yaozong with round eyes and nodded.

Yang Yaozong said: "It is noon on hoe day." ”

The children said in unison: "It's noon on hoe day." ”

"Sweat drops down the soil."

"Sweat drops down the soil."

……

After reading the poem, the children of Yang Yao's religion explained the meaning of the poem to the children in an easy-to-understand vernacular, and the children listened carefully to Yang Yaozong's teachings with serious expressions. followed Yang Yaozong to recite the whole poem. Yang Yaozong asked, "Do you want to be a good boy who cherishes food in the future?" ”

The children replied in unison, "Yes!" ”

Yang Yaozong smiled and said, "Shall we come here today?" You can go back and memorize this poem today. When eating, you have to eat every grain of rice in the bowl, what can't you do? ”

The children replied in unison: "No waste!" ”

Yang Yaozong got up and put down the child in his arms, the children were still reluctant to leave Yang Yaozong, and an older child asked, "Uncle, will you come to tell us a story tomorrow?" ”

Yang Yaozong glanced at Liao Qiniang, and then said to the children: "Hmm...... If my uncle has free time, he will come and see you and tell you stories, okay? ”

The children were a little disappointed, but when they heard that Yang Yaozong would still come to tell them stories, they all nodded, and then the older children led the children around Yang Yaozong, and reluctantly left Yang Yaozong step by step.

The women around Liao Qiniang, seeing that Liao Qiniang seemed to have something to say to Yang Yaozong, all dispersed.

Liao Qiniang walked up to Yang Yaozong and said, "Would you like to stay in the mountains and be a gentleman for the children?" I'll give you food and clothing to worry about. When Liao Qiniang said that she had no worries about food and clothing, she suddenly thought of what her father said, and his background must not be simple. So the confidence is a little insufficient.

Yang Yaozong looked at Liao Qiniang and asked, "If I can let these old and young women and children on the mountain live in peace and contentment with your brothers, do you still want to be this big boss?" ”

Liao Qiniang was stunned. She had never thought about the question Yang Yaozong asked. She frowned and stared at Yang Yaozong and asked, "Can you do it?" “

Yang Yaozong smiled slightly: "What I said is if." “

Liao Qiniang snorted, then looked at the busy people and frolicking children in the village and said, "If it weren't for being cornered by the officials, how many people would be willing to be bandits and do this business that may lose their heads at any time?" The people are afraid of us and hate us, and the government arrests us and uses us. And we just want to live. “

Yang Yaozong said sarcastically: "That's not your reason to be a bandit. You can live by robbing homes and houses, kidnapping and blackmailing, and those who were robbed and hurt by you, have you ever wondered whether they will live? I know that you want your brothers, to let these old and young women and children live a good life, but do you see your brothers, do you really live a good life with these old and young women and children? Yang Yaozong also knew that most of today's bandits were forced by the imperial court's harsh taxes and the oppression of the local government. But he still said these words that stabbed Liao Qiniang.

Liao Qiniang had tears in her eyes and said angrily: "This is not all forced by the government and the court!" Looking at you, I know that you have never starved or suffered, you have never been in a desperate situation, how can you understand the pain of our people. It's like the poem you teach to the children, who are barely fed and sometimes even starving. Therefore, they know what saving is from the beginning of their sensibility, and they know that food must not be wasted. You are a reader, you can write poetry, but do you really know how to save and cherish food? Have you ever eaten porridge made with just a few grains of rice or even rice bran and a bunch of bitter wild vegetables? It's not even porridge, it's just wild vegetable soup, and it may not even be as good as pig food in your eyes! But everyone in this group of children has eaten it, and even the soup hanging in the bowl has to be licked clean in the end! Because they know that cherishing the food in front of them can keep them alive. If there is only one grain of rice, they will also bubble the rice and then eat it. Waste? There has never been a surplus, so how can it be wasted? Wasting may be moral in your eyes, but in the eyes of these children, it's just an unfamiliar word. ”

Yang Yaozong was speechless by Liao Qiniang's words, and felt very ashamed in his heart.

"Do you know that all kinds of exorbitant taxes have already weighed down the people? If they are oppressed by the government again, then the life of the people is simply worse than death! Since it's all death, how about making a living with this headless job? If the people can live and work in peace and contentment, who is rare to be a bandit and be this big boss! After speaking, Liao Qiniang twisted her head to the side angrily.

Liao Qiniang was touched by Yang Yaozong's words and pressed in her heart for many years, thinking of the hard work and efforts she had to lead a group of wolf-like mountain bandits to make a living, and the pressure and pain she had endured in her heart over the years. All kinds of grievances came to my heart.

The death of her mother did not have any impact on the young Liao Qiniang, although she grew up in a mountain bandit den, she was also a girl who loved to laugh. But since the day she decided to marry her predecessor, she has rarely shown a smile again. Sometimes when she looks in the mirror, she wonders if she can still smile. It's not that she can't laugh, but she doesn't dare to laugh. I'm just worried that if she shows a smile, she will lose her majesty in this group of men, and if she loses her majesty, how can she manage and command them? How to take them and the old and young women and children on the top of the mountain to live well? She forced these responsibilities on herself, she didn't want to escape, but that sense of responsibility trapped her, so that she couldn't break free and escape.

Yang Yaozong couldn't help but reach out and wipe his tears for the poor woman in front of him, and as soon as his hand touched Liao Qiniang's cheek, Liao Qiniang took a step back as if he had been electrocuted.

Yang Yaozong seemed to have a sense of what she was thinking: "Why do you have to embarrass yourself so much, give yourself so much responsibility and pressure? “

Liao Qiniang's cheeks were ashamed and her heart was pounding because of Yang Yaozong's bold move. She still pisted her head, but her voice softened, "There are some things that you can't just do if you don't want to do them. What I told you about doing gentlemanly things for the children, you should think about it. Stay at the top of the mountain for the next two days! “
