Yun Xiu felt that her second mother looked at her father like looking at a dog that couldn't be killed.

"Get on your knees!"

Without a little hesitation, Carpenter Yun knelt neatly, and did not forget to reach out and pick up the fallen rattan.

Erniang held her stomach, pinched her waist, pointed at the nose of the cloud carpenter, and scolded his ancestors for eighteen generations.

Yun Erni glanced at the scene in the room, turned around with Si Ni, and continued to wash her clothes. Adults have nothing to do with children.

Yun Xiu frowned, her father was so tolerant, he could only condone Erniang's inch.

When Erniang got married, it wasn't like this, Yunxiu still remembered that when Erniang arrived at their house, she was wearing a big braid and a bright red jacket, standing in the yard as beautiful as the flowers blooming on the mountain.

In his arms, he was holding a bulging bag of white cloth on a blue background, which was full of things for their children, including red head ropes and Maji balls.

Yunxiu's mother has been gone for more than two years, and several children have not been taken care of by their mother for more than two years, Erniang took Sini in her arms to feed her, taught Sini to wash her hands, tied pigtails for Yunxiu, and changed her cotton clothes to Da Ni to wear.

Sometimes the little brother who changes the sugar is shaking and not wavering, and Erniang will also ask Yunxiu to take two eggs and exchange them for a few pieces of maltose, and share them with everyone.

At that time, Yunxiu felt that this was God's mercy and rewarded them with such a good stepmother.

Until half a year ago, Dr. Li from the town came over with a medicine box and said that Erniang was happy, Erniang's temper became bigger and bigger, and she never ate maltose again, and Yun Dani was also sent to the town to make a maid for the rich man's family.

The life of the family began at that time, and the days were like years.

Listening to the abuse in the house, Yun Xiu raised her feet and wanted to go into the house to distinguish a few words for her father, but Yun Erni pulled her sleeve.

"Xiu, don't worry about it, just endure it and it's over."

It's patience again, every time Yun Xiu wants to reason with Erniang, she is stopped, and the family endures it one by one, just endure it.

Erniang's belly was pointy, and Dr. Li said that this baby must be a boy.

Boy, the boy that their Yun family is looking forward to when they look forward to the stars and the moon, just bear with it.

When the time came, the scolding stopped.

The twelfth or thirteenth girl was growing her body, and Yun Xiu was lying on the bed, tossing and turning and unable to sleep, with nothing in her stomach, and she was hungry and uncomfortable.

I didn't dare to go to the kitchen to find food, and when I turned around and was discovered by Erniang, there should be another commotion at home.

"Shh Yun Xiu gestured, wanting to sneak up and go into the yard.

In the vegetable field next to the yard, the radish grows densely, and the radish is sweet and crisp when eaten raw, and it is not afraid of heartburn.

Yun Xiu leaned down and touched her shoes under the bed, and was about to put them on and go out of the house, when Erni, who was sleeping on the side, reached out and patted her, and took out something from the quilt and stuffed it into her hand.

"Eat it, don't get discovered." Reflecting the big moon outside, Yun Erni compared her mouth, and her voice was so light that she couldn't hear it.

I took a small bite lightly, tasted it, it was a sweet potato, hurriedly covered the quilt, and hid in the quilt.

After the rain, the sun is shining.

Before dawn, the cloud carpenter went to the town, and yesterday the big wardrobe of the shopkeeper Cui's house had not yet been painted, just taking advantage of today's sun, and he could receive his salary after completing the work.

Yunxiu and her second sister picked peas in the pea field on the ridge with a basket, and when the day dawned, they followed the aunts and aunts in the village to the town to sell them, in exchange for two money to subsidize the family.

The Yun family has no sons, there is no good labor for farming, and the land in the village is barren, and the wheat they thream is not enough for their own food, so the sisters can only reclaim wasteland on the gentle slope near their home and grow some seasonal vegetables.

First, it is convenient for one's own food, and the wealthy can also be sold in the town for money.

"Second sister, I'll help you pick this one." Yun Sini was obedient and followed her sister with a small basket to help with the work.

"Be careful not to spill it."

Yun Erni reached out to straighten the basket for her and reminded. got up and straightened his waist, and suddenly saw a few small sedan chairs walking towards the village under the mountain, and there was a vague figure like the village chief at the entrance of the village.

"Xiu, look, is that person the village chief?"

Yun Xiu raised her head and looked at it, far away, and she didn't see the real picture.

"It looks like it, but why is the village chief standing at the entrance of the village if he has nothing to do?"

"The chicken nest flew into the golden phoenix, and when I looked at the sedan chair, I knew that a big official had come to the village."

"How can there be a big official in our place who is full of food and support it, looking at the situation like a rich businessman, Bao Buqi is here to choose a few maids, I heard that the old men in the city have strange interests recently, and they have to look at the appearance of the guy who is looking for a man to do things."

After breakfast, the aunts and aunts of the village carried baskets and carts to the town to sell things together.

The elderly women were open-mouthed, and after a few words, they turned the topic to the embarrassed little girl.

"Erni, when will your father marry you off?"

"Yes, you are fifteen or sixteen, my phoenix is a year younger than you, and a son-in-law brought eggs to me to report the good news, saying that she was pregnant."

"Phew, you old thing, I just want to praise your son-in-law for the eggs he gave me......"

A group of people fought one by one, Yun Erni's face turned crimson with shame, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at people.

Yun Xiu stretched out her hand to pull her sleeve and whispered, "Second sister, don't pay attention to them, you know nonsense." ”

The mother-in-law who had a good thing saw it, pointed at her and said with a smile: "The third child of the Yun family is worried about her life's event, so persuade her second sister to go out quickly?" Look at your willow waist and thin eyebrows, Erni, you have to pay attention, don't go back and become a brother-in-law when the time comes......"

As soon as these words came out, a group of women laughed again.

Yunxiu has always had a bad temper, and when she heard this, her eyebrows were raised: "Sister-in-law Li is getting married when she opens her mouth and closes her mouth, my eldest sister hasn't gone out yet, what is the hurry for the two of us to be sisters?" Sister-in-law Li worries about other people's affairs every day, but her own family can't hold it. If you have more snacks on Brother Li, sister-in-law, you will be married and beautiful! ”

Everyone in Suzhuang Village knows that when Sister-in-law Li got married, she helped her mother's younger brother, and she had to move to her mother's family.

Her man was an honest man, but then he couldn't stand it, so he simply found a good one outside, although he was a widow with a child, but he was hardworking and knew the Gu family, and after giving birth to a big fat boy half a year ago, her man didn't even go home.

Thanks to Sister-in-law Li, her mother's brother is a prank, and she doesn't agree with his sister to go back to her parents' house, or she would have been dumped in the face if she didn't stop the book.

Sister-in-law Li was trampled on her tail and was about to step forward to tear Yunxiu's mouth.

The people who were originally laughing saw that the two of them were really anxious, and they hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them.

At the back of the crowd, two men walked unhurriedly, pulling a certain distance from them.

"Master, why don't we go back to the sedan chair?"

These women were full of gibberish, and they defiled the ears of this man.

The man in black smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, Uncle Li." If you don't have to walk around, you can still see a different scene on this country road. ”

The first time I saw this little girl raised by radish greens, it was not Tie Hanhan, nor was it a gas bag.

can also be so confident and full of counterattacks against others, but it is three points more spiky than the pampered girls in the capital.

Today, on the first day of the new year, there was a market in the city, and after the Yunxiu sisters sold out the peas, they walked around to the market with a basket.

Si Ni's red head rope is so old that she can't see the color, Erniang is a month old and wants to buy fabric to go back to make new clothes, her father runs before and after every day, and the shoes on her feet are about to take off, and she has to make new ones.

Seeing that there were washbasins selling on the street, I thought of the last time I went to Li's house to help clean up the house, Mrs. Li shouted that the basin was leaking, and she had to ask her father to help with it.

Yun Xiu looked at the basin that was about to be wet, and how could she still hoop it. I happened to meet it today, and I asked the price, but it was not expensive, so I took a copper coin from my handkerchief and bought one to give to Mrs. Li.

Walking to the mouth of the alley of the Li family, I heard someone making noise from afar.

Stopping to listen, Yun Xiu frowned. The man's voice was clearly Li Xiucai, but it was just those two women with sharp teeth and sharp mouths, she didn't know that the Li family had such relatives?

Yun Erni looked back at her, "Yun Xiu, why don't you leave, isn't it Li Xiucai's house a few steps ahead?" After sending the basin, we have to hurry home to cook for Erniang. ”

"Wait, their family seems to be arguing."

Yunxiu pulled her behind the diagonal pyre, and the cat got down.

From this angle, you can just see the courtyard of Li Xiucai's house, and you can also prevent them from being discovered.

In the courtyard, a bewitching old woman dressed up, twisting her fat waist full of horizontal meat, her radish thick fingers were shining with golden light, and she pointed at Li Xiucai's nose: "I don't care if you are a showman or a fool, if you sleep with the girl in our drunken Red Mansion, you have to pay me the silver!" Don't take your scholar's set of fancy intestines out, you can coax the girl, but you can't coax the old lady and me! ”

"Mother Feng, it's not what you think, Miss Die and I are in love with each other, and we are sincere......"

"Whew! How many of the gentlemen who can enter our drunken red mansion are sincere? Are you sincere? I still love you sincerely, why didn't I see you call me a mother? Pay back, if you don't pay back today, let's all live in peace! ”

Without waiting for Li Xiucai to explain, the door of the hall behind him squeaked open, and a woman of seventeen or eighteen ran out of it, with big eyes and thick eyebrows, and a pair of big feet walking on the ground with strong and powerful feet, but the voice of the mouth was dumb.

"Hmph, good you Li He'an, you liar, a big girl with yellow flowers followed you, you are really sincere with the girls of Qinglou, I want to tell my eldest brother to go, let my eldest brother break your legs!"

The delicate voice was very different from her figure, and she twisted her waist and neck and left.

Li Xiucai wanted to catch up, but he was afraid of the row of big men with sticks behind Feng's mother, so he had to stretch out his hand behind her and argue in a low voice: "Sister Slender waist, either we have held hands or are together, we are just friends!" Please explain it to your eldest brother! ”

Mother Feng sneered, "Li Xiucai, I'm curious why you really love my little pink butterfly while holding hands with your thin-waisted sister to be friends?" ”

"This ......" Li Xiucai was sweating anxiously, wanting to open his mouth but not knowing how to tell the difference.

"Give the old lady less of this and that, hurry up and take out the money for the night with us, the old lady's family has a big business, and a big mess of things is waiting for me to deal with!"

"I ......"

"Little ones, give him some color and see, don't let this thing break the rules of our business!" At the sound of an order, several men behind Feng's mother waved the sticks in their hands, and walked forward with a smile.

The door of the hall opened again, and the old lady of the Li family stood in the threshold with a cane, sighed, and said, "Please be lenient to my mother, our family really can't come up with money, can you offset those items, so that my mother can spare my son this time." ”

"Offset? Are you ruined worth a lot of money? Are you going to beat me with all these chili garlic sticks on your wall? ”
