Chapter 140: Expectation
"I heard that the wedding date is scheduled for next month, is it to set up wine in the new house, or is it to set up wine here?"
It seems that the people in the village are still very concerned about whether Yun San is a son-in-law.
What a fool.
Lin Yanniang said helplessly: "The eldest brother of the Yun family has come to be hired, where to put the wine, isn't it the Yun family who has the final say." ”
"Haha, I'll just say that Yan Niang married me, you have to fight with me." Who knows, the uncle who asked smiled happily.
Listening to his explanation, it turned out that on the way just now, a few people carrying water bumped into each other and talked about her and Yunsan.
Some people say that the new house is built next to it, and I am afraid that it is still a son-in-law.
Some people also wonder why Yun San didn't marry his daughter-in-law home, and a Guannei person still had to stay in the village, looking at the grandeur of the Yun family, it was obviously not a broken household.
Everyone argued like this, and this is the previous question.
Lin Yanniang listened helplessly for a while, but she couldn't say anything, after all, she was a girl to be married, how could she gossip about her family affairs with others in person?
Just explain clearly that you are marrying instead of recruiting a son-in-law.
It was a few of them who shook the water and started talking.
In the end, he came to the conclusion that Yun San loved his daughter-in-law, and he must help the Yue family, and when his brother-in-law grew up and could support the family, he would take Yan Niang back to Guannei.
Lin Yanniang listened to the lively conversation over there, but thought in her heart, it should be like this, right?
The man has said more than once that he wants to take her to see the outside world, to bring her family into the customs together, and she still wants to open a shop.
They are now hunting and making money, just to prepare for the future to open shops.
The money from hunting and selling is enough to live, not only to pay off foreign debts, but also to buy some paper and pens, and to teach the younger brothers to read and write when they stop hunting.
Qin Zhanyou brought two pieces of bamboo paper and two sets of pen and ink from Guannei, as well as a set of enlightenment books that are said to have been used by him when he was a child and some poetry and song books.
It's just that the younger brothers still write on the ground with branches, and they use pen and ink if they are reluctant.
In the past two days, the family has also been busy, a new house is being built next to it, the family has to hunt, and many people have to cook, and she hunts in the mountains every day, and no one cares about their reading and writing.
She planned to wait until she had saved up a hundred taels of silver, and she would stop hunting this winter, so she would rest at home, burn the warm kang, and teach her younger brothers to read and write.
She teaches, men teach, it's all right.
Wash the quilt and dry it in the yard of the new house, so that you are not afraid of blocking the road in your yard, and you have already laid two quilts in the yard in and out, and you can no longer occupy space.
In order to dry the quilt, the chickens at home were not released from the cage, and only the chicken coop was left in the backyard to be a sunny place.
She strode towards the new house with a few twisted quilt covers and sheets on her arms, and her little sister followed happily.
When they saw them coming, the brothers immediately put away their arrows and were about to come over to help.
"You guys practice, be careful not to miss the target." Lin Yanniang said.
"Yan Niang, do you think it's better to put the arrow target to the east first?" Lin Ping'an proposed at this time, "There are no horses in the stable, so the target is resting there, and the distance has been widened." ”
Turn around, but don't worry about people walking by from your side when you are shooting.
In the past, when this was a wasteland, the target was resting on the hillside, and even if there were people on the road, there was no fear of hitting it by mistake.
Nowadays, because a new house has been built, there is still a limit to the area given in the courtyard.
It's not that the place is narrow, but that this original direction increases the risk because the two houses are connected.
"There is also a place in the backyard, go to the backyard and target the arrow to the east, there is a fence over there, you can try it." Lin Yanniang said.
In the front yard, she is going to dry the quilt today, which will obviously take up space, which is inconvenient for the brothers to practice archery.
"It's okay in the front yard and backyard, but today I'm drying the quilt, and there may be horses in the stable in the future, so moving around will also affect Can'er and Jie'er, so it's better to go to the backyard at the beginning."
"And this corridor can also be, Yun San said, when encountering wind and rain and snowy days, practice arrows under the corridor." She glanced again at the wide eaves of the wall.
Lin Ping'an naturally felt that the corridor was easy to use, but he thought that he couldn't occupy the new house too much, as if he couldn't wait to turn the Yun family's house into their Lin family's place.
He was naturally not afraid that Yun San would have any ideas, but he was worried that when people from the Yun family saw it in the future, they would be displeased in their hearts, and they would turn around and make Yun San embarrassed in front of his family.
Originally, Yun San was treated as a son-in-law in the village and was talked about, but now he has built a new house in the village, which makes it impossible to tell whether he is marrying a daughter-in-law or coming to the door.
Just now, the villagers were laughing at the well, and he heard it here, so he had some ideas.
"We're here to practice." Lin Jie heard that his sister also said that he could go under the corridor, so he immediately put the bow on his back and ran to carry his arrow target.
Third Brother Yun had already said that there was for them to practice archery, but even if their father didn't agree, they couldn't help it.
The backyard is also spacious, but they thought that in the future, pig pens or chicken coops will be built in the backyard, and there will be no place for them to practice archery.
Why can't they use the place that Third Brother Yun arranged for them?
The little boy didn't understand this, and he was a little unhappy just now.
Lin Can glanced at his father, and silently followed his younger brother over.
Obviously, he also felt that his father was worried a lot, this was the house of the third brother of Yun, and it was also the house of the elder sister, why couldn't they practice arrows here?
Seeing this, Lin Ping'an sighed in his heart, and did not object anymore.
Lin Yanniang didn't think much about it, so she moved the drying rack that had been erected a long time ago and put the quilt on it.
The sun had risen and was shining right in the courtyard, and the wall, which was about half a foot high, that is, more than two meters, was not just wide, but a long open pavilion.
Not only can you set up two arrow targets to practice archery, but it is also convenient to use it as an open hall for hospitality and pastime.
And the area is long and narrow, from the west side wall to the east side of the eaves connected to the stables, even the courtyard gate has not been interrupted.
The eaves of the courtyard gate are three tiles outward, and there is a porch inward, so it will not be rained at all on rainy days.
Although it is only a small farmhouse, it is neatly cleaned up, spacious and clean, I don't know what kind of compound the Yun family lives in the Guannei?
Sometimes she also thinks in her heart, what is the environment in which Yun San grew up?
Why was he able to live comfortably in such a poor village, without disliking the poverty and simplicity of her family, and now building a new house here without blinking an eye?
She thought a lot about him, but her mind was in a mess, and she always felt that she couldn't find a reasonable answer no matter what.
But his attitude and performance all the time are so natural and sincere, and he has actually paid a lot for her family.
After drying the quilt, she went to the houses to look again, and looked at the furniture that she had not had time to look at carefully yesterday, and her heart was also happy.
Since she was born, she has always wanted to grow up faster, to find a better place to live quickly, and to let her family work less hard and live more stable.
But Daddy was lame......
She couldn't wait to go out to make money, so she could only take her father's bow and arrow, follow the team up the mountain, and hunt to make money and support her family in the closest, fastest, and most reliable way.
Any idea of making a fortune is not worth the importance of supporting a family and making a living.
All ideal prospects must be built on the premise that the family has no worries about food and clothing.
In the past three years, she has been working hard and patient, sometimes encountering some herbs in the mountains, she will also pick them and sell them to Fang Langzhong, and then get some discounts from Fang Langzhong to buy medicines.
But she can't suddenly turn herself into a medicine picker, she is the daughter of Orion, she has practiced martial arts and arrows since she was a child, and she is also familiar with hunting.
Therefore, she can only be a hunteress.
Now, she's picked up a man and brought it home.
This man is still reliable, and with him in the future, they can do the hunting and trading, and even go to the gate to open a shop.
Only then can her ideals and her goals really begin to be realized.
It was the man who made her start to have some expectations for some things that she didn't dare to think about before.
The doors and windows are open for ventilation and lighting, and I have carefully looked at it everywhere, although it is a little damp but there is no quality problem, so I will be able to live in it for half a month.
When Lin Yanniang came out of the house, she saw that the two brothers were drawing the bow, and they did not shoot the arrow immediately, they were extending the time to draw the bow to practice arm strength and endurance.
Archers are absolutely impatient, they must be quick when they should be fast, and when they can't shoot, they will definitely concentrate and be on call at any time.
Lin Ping'an has already gone back to set up a basket, and he will not stay here forever.
The brothers have also practiced archery for a few years, and they are not beginners.
Lin Yanniang glanced at it, and saw that there was nothing wrong with the posture and movements of her younger brothers, so she didn't say anything and went back with her little sister.
When I got back, I filled the water tank in the kitchen and helped pick two kinds of vegetables.
Lin Song has already made a nest, and at noon, he will cook a pot of coarse grain porridge, fry two side dishes with pickles and small dried fish, and the lunch will pass.
"Mother, I'll go back to the house and sew clothes." Lin Yanniang washed her hands, wiped them with a handkerchief, and greeted her mother.
Lin Song agreed, and Lin Xue followed her mother to help on the side, and did not follow her sister again.
Not long after she returned to the house, Lin Yinhua and Lin Xinghua came.
Lin Xinghua's temperament is more lively than Lin Yinhua, and she shouted sweetly at the gate of the courtyard: "Second uncle! ”
"You're here." Lin Ping'an was sitting under the eaves and was busy with his work, looking up at them and smiling.
"Well, come and see my cousin, is my cousin over there in the new house?" Lin Xinghua said as she turned her head to look at the east chamber.
The door of the east chamber was open, and Lin Yanniang was busy sitting on the kang with a change of sheets, and responded casually: "Here." ”
"Cousin! Cousin! Lin Xinghua's eyes lit up, and she immediately pulled her second sister and ran over, chattering non-stop.
"Would you like to show us the new house? I heard from my grandmother that the new house is magnificent and the furniture is beautiful. My mother wanted to come too, but my father didn't let me, so we slipped out. ”
