Chapter 1: Wedges
In March, the earth is rejuvenated!
Dayue Country, Qingyang Town in Xiashan County, Baoshan Prefecture, is busy!
The most lively is Hedong Village under Qingyang Town.
Hedong Village is sparsely populated, but the land is vast. And on the vast land, you can see the figure of hard work in the fields everywhere.
It was busy until the middle of the day, and the villagers of Hedong Village rushed home one after another.
The people standing under the old locust tree in the village are pulling homely things.
Some are waiting for their loved ones to come home; Some came over to chat about family life after a hasty meal; Others come here to embroider and make shoes......
"Did you hear that? The eldest of the Chai family is back, and I heard that they hurried back last night! ”
The Chai family is a family with a head and a face in Hedong Village, and because of its rich background, it is naturally the object of people's talk.
Someone here just started, and then someone picked up.
"Huh? Aren't the two of them in town? His youngest son is studying in the town, who will take care of the child when he comes back like this? ”
Who doesn't know that the entire Chai family is very fond of the children studying in the big house!
"You don't know yet, huh? I heard Aunt Zhang's daughter-in-law say that it was Dafang Dan Nizi who was sick, and she was very sick! ”
Aunt Zhang lives next door to Chai's house, so naturally her daughter-in-law's words will not be fake.
"What's going on? Isn't that kid good? It's just a little thinner! ”
"Ouch, who's to say it's not!"
"What do you know, that old woman is not good, think about it, whose thirteen-year-old girl looks like eight or nine years old, and she is not a little thin."
"Tsk, yes! I heard Aunt Zhang's daughter-in-law say, that Da Nizi is in charge of the family's work! ”
"No, it's that Mrs. Chai likes her grandson, and she can't be like this! In the end, it's the daughter of the old Chai family! ”
"That is, Mrs. Chai is not such a patriarchal person. Look at the daughters she raised herself, they are all about to become fat balls, haha......"
"Haha, yes! I guess I gave her all the good ones. ”
"Alas, don't say it, don't say it."
"What's ......?"
"Yo, what are you doing in a hurry with this Lin family? Look at it, it looks like going in the direction of Dr. Qian's house. ”
"Don't be the big girl of the old chai family, won't it......"
......
For a while, because of various speculations, the villagers under the big locust tree chatted again.
At this time, the Chai family, which was talked about, was also lively.
In the small courtyard next to the left hand of Chai's house, there were several people standing, and a middle-aged man wearing indigo cotton clothes and pants was walking around the courtyard.
The man's gaze looked at the ear room from time to time.
The other people in the yard, you look at me, I look at yours, and occasionally talk about some common things.
Compared to the worried man, the others seemed to be here to talk.
In the hall, a fat girl about fourteen or fifteen years old was sitting on a wooden chair in the room, munching on melon seeds.
Next to the fat girl was an old woman, although she was wearing cotton cloth, but she was neatly organized, and she still had a silver hairpin in her hair, silver earrings in her ears, and a wide silver bracelet on her wrist.
The old woman was well-dressed, and the fat girl around her was not bad.
Compared to a few people in the courtyard outside, it was much better.
After eating the melon seeds in her hand, the fat girl glanced at the plate, which was already empty, her eyes widened, and she immediately pulled the sleeve of the old woman on the side and said coquettishly: "Mother, look, sister-in-law, are you afraid that I will eat it all?" Just eat something like this to send me away! ”
"My eldest brother and sister-in-law are not welcome to come over here! Mother, look, this idea is enough! ”
The old lady Chai was originally waiting for her, looking very leisurely.
