Chapter 11: The Cheapness of Two Eggs

But after a long time, the expectations were disappointed again and again, which made Xue'er understand that there are some things that cannot be forced.

is like Dong Xueer's original body that has returned to the cherry blossom tree, what is the difference between her parents and not?

It's not that you're in ancient times, it's not that your body is just a six-year-old child, Xue'er will definitely find a way to leave this home.

After all, the death of the original owner was caused by the Yun family, and it was Dong Changhe's inaction that made the original owner give up hope of continuing to live.

The Yun family has always been angry with the child, Dong Changhe didn't know, at most he just told the Yun family verbally not to beat the child, but in fact he didn't do anything.

And half of the reason why Yun scolded and beat the child was because Dong Changhe's heart was not in her, and the root cause was Dong Changhe's father.

So as for whether the Yun family will be divorced because of this matter, or the two will be reconciled, or Dong Changhe will stop his wife and remarry, Xue'er doesn't care about these at present, she just needs to take care of herself.

Cai talked to himself for a long time, and saw that Xue'er was just looking at him with a pair of innocent big eyes, and he didn't think it was interesting.

It's just that although Dong Xue'er is usually sweet and polite, she is not a child who talks a lot.

For Xue'er's silence, Cai didn't think it was any different.

She rolled her eyes and said, "Snow girl, your eldest brother wants to eat scallion pancakes, but there are no fine noodles at home, you first lend half a bag to your uncle, and then I will return it to your family when your uncle buys it, what do you think?" ”

Xue'er knew that her eldest aunt was using her brain again, she used to borrow rice and noodles from the Yun family, and even borrowed eggs, but she never paid them back.

Relying on the uncle is the village head, Dong Changhe has to help Dong Changjiang deal with many things in Dongjia Village, so most of the time he has borrowed but not returned.

For this reason, the Yun family quarreled with the Cai family a lot.

It is estimated that she also heard that Dong Changhe had a woman outside, and this was to laugh at the Yun family, and now that the Yun family is not here, by the way, she will get some cheapness in the hands of this little girl.

Xue'er opened her big innocent eyes and pointed to the locked West Chamber: "Uncle, don't you know that my mother has returned to her parents' house, the room where the food is stored is locked, and Xue'er doesn't have the key, so what do you want to borrow, let's wait for my mother to come back!" ”

Yun is a very cautious person, and the food at home has always been in one hand, and this Cai also knows that she will borrow noodles because she forgets it.

Cai Shi was a little unwilling, raised his legs and walked to the backyard and said, "Then it's okay to borrow a few eggs, and I'll go back and make egg custard for your eldest brother." ”

Xue'er said in her heart, fortunately, she wanted to eat boiled eggs, and she had already picked up all the eggs in the chicken coop in the kitchen, otherwise she wouldn't be able to keep any of the eggs today.

However, Cher still miscalculated, and just as she went to herd the sheep, two more hens laid an egg each.

Soon Cai's came back, followed by Huzi, and she was still holding two eggs that were still warm: "Why are there only two, there should be a few chickens after raising so many chickens." ”

She looked suspiciously at Xue'er, who was still standing there, and said, "Aren't they all eaten by you!" ”

Huzi saw that the owner of the outsider took his own eggs, and the little owner did not object, so he went back in a huff.

Xue'er knew that Cai's did not do such a thing, and Huzi was used to it. This black dog is a spiritual one in Dong Xue'er's memory, as long as it has seen someone twice, it can remember it, and it will not bite to death.

If it is a familiar person, it will usually follow, and it will not leave until the owner is present.

"Why did the eldest aunt say that, you also know that my mother and I in our family have never been allowed to eat such a precious thing as eggs, if Xue'er eats it secretly, my mother will be beaten when she comes back." Xue'er said as she pretended to be afraid.

Cai pursed his lips and smiled: "That's too, I don't dare you." ”

Cai's good luck took advantage of two eggs, although this trip was much worse than she expected, but it was still quite satisfied, and left with small steps.

"Auntie go slowly, come back when you have time."

Dong Xueer is a lively little girl in her bones, and she has been beaten and scolded too much by the Yun family over the years, so she usually doesn't want to talk to her parents more, but she is still articulate in front of outsiders.

So even if the core has been replaced by Xue'er now, Cai's has no suspicions.

Otherwise, Cher wouldn't be able to behave like this.

In the farmhouse, eggs are indeed a precious thing, that is, people like Dong Changhe and Dong Changjiang who have better family conditions will eat them themselves, and ordinary people use them to give away or sell them.

At the bazaar, these eggs are also bought for two for a penny.

In the Daxi Dynasty, a penny was about one yuan in modern times, and a thousand copper plates could be exchanged for one or two pieces of silver.

The average family here needs about three taels to five taels of silver a year, so eggs are still very expensive.

Although Dong Xueer is young, she knows these conversions, because Dong Changhe is at home on vacation, or when he has time, he will teach her to write, teach her some knowledge, such as abacus and accounting, and teach her to paint when she is interested.

Maybe it's because Dong Xue'er is thorough at all that Dong Changhe is interested in teaching.

Mrs. Yun is everyone's young lady, and the six children she gave birth to are all literate, especially the Yun family has been a strong person since she was a child, and she has to do her best in everything.

At that time, she wanted to marry her childhood sweetheart, naturally she was literate with her heart, and she wrote with her heart, Yun's not only knew how to read, but also could, play chess, and also had a superb embroidery plan, and the female red was a good hand.

Weaving and spinning are even better, except for some sloppy, don't like to clean up the house, poor cooking skills, other can be taken out.

So when she was on a whim, she would also give Dong Xue'er some things, and now the original owner knows no less than 500 words, and Dong Xue'er will also go to the study every night to practice calligraphy.

Re-locked the door, Xue'er slowly walked to the Tanshui River, and saw three sheep in the distance still there, two big ones were bowing their heads to gnaw grass, and the little lambs were jumping around their parents and playing.

Relieved, Cher began to wash her hands with the clothes on her head.

Although ancient clothes need to be washed by hand, they are still relatively easy to clean, generally as long as they are not rubbed with oil stains, as long as they are rubbed with honey locust powder, and then beaten with a mallet, it is easy to wash.

However, Xue'er's body is still a little small, it's okay to wash her small clothes, and it's more difficult to wash Yun's big clothes, but fortunately, there is an artifact of a mallet, and it will be washed quickly after a few more beatings.

The tub was so heavy that she couldn't hold it, so she had to dry the washed clothes on the dead branches of the river and take them back when they were half dry.

Just take advantage of this time to change the place for the two tethered sheep.

The goose and duck were tired of playing in the water and were squatting by the river to rest.
