But Du Yi still didn't let them go, and then said: "Now they talk about me like this, it's nothing more than envy, jealousy and hatred. This woman's heart just can't see that others are better than her! You have to learn to get used to whoever is talking about me is jealous of me. ”
Brother Zhao looked at the beautiful sister in front of him, and said that these women who usually have a short family in the east and the west are bored, and his heart is secretly refreshed. Their family gave birth to four daughters in a row because of her mother, and these people said that it was not the same.
For this, she has long been dissatisfied. It is these people in front of them, who say that their family is a desperate household. It is they who make my mother unable to raise her head in this village. is even more because of them, grandma doesn't want to see their family, and even their father has no right to speak at home.
"Yes, I'm right, there's no need to be like them. No wonder Yiyi said yesterday that others are angry, but I am not angry, and I am sick when I am angry, and there is no one to replace me. ”
Peach Blossom has some admiration for Yiyi, in her heart, Yiyi is the young lady of their family, the master of their family, and a good master, and everything will be considered for them.
What Yi Yi said yesterday, she remembered it at the moment, and turned to worship it even more. She knows that her health is not good, and now that her family has no mother's monthly salary, she has become more financial, and she spends a lot of money on medicine every month. If you get sick at this time, if you don't say anything, it will make things worse for your family.
Brother Zhao saw that Peach Blossom's mood calmed down, so he said to her: "Peach Blossom, you sit here, I'll help you wash your clothes together." ”
When Yi Yi heard this, he glanced at Zhao Di in surprise. The latter didn't wait for Peach Blossom to say anything, so he directly brought his laundry basin to the place where Zhao Liu's laundry shirt was originally and sat down. Take Liu Dazhu's clothes and start washing them first.
Peach Blossom sighed, with a hint of indebtedness on her face. When he saw Du Yi standing there confused, he whispered to her: "I have been in poor health since I was a child, and I can't do any heavy work." My mother is not at home, my sister-in-law has to take care of the children, and she has to do a lot of housework, and I can only occasionally help with laundry and cooking. I met when I was seven years old and she was six years old. That year, when I was washing my clothes, I suddenly couldn't breathe, and she was right next to me, and she helped me sit aside, and then helped me wash my clothes and send them back. Since then, every time I come to the river, she always washes me up. ”
When Peach Blossom finished speaking, her eyes were moist and her eyes were red. Let Du Yi listen, his heart is sour. This kind of friendship is not comparable to ordinary people.
Thinking of Du Fuli, when she woke up for the first time, the woman who claimed to be her cousin had a ruthless look in her eyes, and it became more and more intense.
Du Yi didn't say a word, walked to the side of Brother Zhao and sat down, picked up Mama Liu's clothes, wet and scrubbed.
I don't know what came to mind, Du Yi suddenly asked, "Brother Zhao, is this the only way we can do laundry clothes here?" Are there any honey locusts or anything like that? ”
When Brother Zhao heard this, he glanced at Du Yi in surprise, and then shook his head: "We all scrub it directly with our hands, and if it is thicker, we will beat it with a wooden stick." I haven't heard of or seen that honey locust you are talking about. ”
When the woman not far away heard this, she frowned and thought about it, and she didn't know what a honey locust was, but it was something that was specially used to wash clothes in the homes of those big families.
"And what do you all use to wash your hair?" If she remembers correctly, this honey locust can also wash hair, a natural green product, and it will bubble when you rub it.
"It's washed with water mixed with grass and ashes. Sister Yiyi, aren't you? Brother Zhao asked curiously.
This sister is so beautiful, and her hands are as tender as green onions, and at first glance she is not the material for rough work. How good she had to live before!
Du Yi was slightly stunned, and then shook his head: "We have special things for washing hair, but they are all bought from outside." "I thought, what used to be played on TV was bought by those big families from outside at a high price, so it shouldn't be wrong to say that, right?
As soon as Brother Zhao heard this, he showed an expression that was really like this.
In the past few days, Du Yi has not washed his hair, but fortunately, his body metabolism is good at this age, and his hair is not greasy. しw0。 It is a woman's nature to love beauty, and even under such difficult conditions, Du Yi never thought of wronging herself.
Seeing Brother Zhao's expression, he smiled, lowered his head and continued to wash the clothes on his hands.
After about a quarter of an hour, the two of them finally washed their clothes. Du Yi stood up, his chin raised slightly, and when he wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeves and feet, he turned his head to find Zhao Di looking at him dumbfounded.
"The mouth is so big, the bugs are going to fly in!" There was a hint of a smile in Doy's crisp voice.
Peach Blossom kept staring at the two of them, and when she saw that she had finished washing her clothes, she came over. Just when he heard Du Yi's words, he turned his head to look at Brother Zhao, and immediately laughed.
"Brother and sister Zhao, your saliva is flowing out!"
Brother Zhao's face was slightly red, and he hurriedly wiped the corners of his mouth with his hand, and after finding out that he had been deceived, he stomped his feet: "Good peach blossom, you actually teased me!" ”
After saying that, he stepped forward and tickled the peach blossoms.
Looking at the frolicking appearance of the two people in front of him, Du Yi's eyes were only missing.
Once, when she and her mother lived in the countryside, mother and daughter were so frolicking and so happy. Since the age of fifteen, when my mother died and returned to the Du family, everything has changed.
"Sister Yiyi, what's wrong with you?" Peach Blossom's health was not good, and the two didn't dare to make a fuss, but after some playing, they found that Du Yi's eyes showed strong sadness.
Peach Blossom knew Yiyi's identity, thinking that she remembered the matter of Du Mansion, so she stepped forward and said, "Yiyi, let's go home." It's been so long, it's time for my mother to chatter! ”
Sensing his gaffe, Doy lowered his eyes, and when he opened them again, a smile on his lips. It's as if everything just now was an illusion they generated.
"Good!"
Brother Zhao held his own basin, saw Du Yi walking in front, and gently bumped into the person next to him: "Peach Blossom, does Sister Yi Yi have something on her mind?" I just saw her and I looked so sad! ”
When Peach Blossom heard this, she paused, and then shook her head again.
There was nothing to say all the way, and before the two of them arrived home, they saw Liu (Mama Liu) standing at the door, looking on tiptoe. When the two of them came into view, they hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to take the basin in Du Yi's hand, and were about to say something, but Du Yi interrupted them.
"Mother, has Peach Blossom's body always been like this? Breathless at every turn? ”
When Liu heard this, he paused and sighed. The young lady will ask this, and it seems that Peach Blossom has been sick again just now.
Seeing this, Doe didn't say much. Peach Blossom doesn't look like asthma, is it heart disease? Although I had doubts in my heart, I didn't say it.
The September day was very refreshing, lukewarm. After lunch, Doe's mind was alive. This family needs money at the moment, and what she needs to do most is to increase the family's income.
Peach Blossom is helping to wash the dishes, and Liniang is coaxing Xiaohuzi. Erlang and Liu Dazhu have already gone to the field, and in a few days, the autumn harvest will be, and Liu and her will be left at this time.
Du Yi looked at the kitchen and said to Liu: "Mother, the peach blossoms are already married, but are you married?" ”
When Liu Shi heard this, his face showed sorrow, and he shook his head instantly: "Not yet, her health is not good, she can't work, in this rural place, which family will want her?" It is said that marrying a wife is a good one, but in this country, everyone wants to marry someone who can work. Peach Blossom is like this, and there is no one who even comes to the door to say goodbye. ”
Du Yi was stunned, it was she who ignored the problem. Seeing Liu's sad face, he immediately said: "Mother, give me two years, and then I will make Peach Blossom a daughter-in-law that everyone wants to marry." ”
Liu's eyes were hot, and his voice hiccuped slightly: "Good boy, your heart, my mother has it." ”
The Du family is like that now, and when the young lady goes back, it is also a dead end, and her lover doesn't know where it is. It's a big deal, it's a big deal, she will work harder, be wronged, and raise an extra sister when the time comes. When she thinks of a way, she will take back the Du Mansion to Miss. Miss shouldn't be here, she shouldn't be so wronged.
Du Yi didn't know what Liu was thinking, but said, "Mother, you have to believe me, I will do what I say." I'm not the eldest lady of the Du family before, the former exclusive eldest lady has long been forced to death by them! ”
Liu nodded, with joy on his face. I thought that the young lady wanted to open it, and someone like Du Zhigao was not worthy of her marriage. Reborn after the catastrophe, the young lady has become stronger, and she is no longer as weak as before.
"Mother, I can't compete with Du Fu now, what I need to do next is your support and help." Du Yi has already thought about every next step, all of which is inseparable from Liu's support.
"Good!" When Liu heard this, he agreed first no matter what it was. As long as she can help Miss recapture Du Mansion, no matter what she does, she is willing.
Taking advantage of the good weather, Du Yi said to Liu: "Mother, I want to walk around and see the surrounding environment!" ”
Liu Shi disagreed, and frowned slightly: "Yiyi, you should go for a lunch break." Your body is getting better, and it's the laundry in the morning, don't go out. When you wake up, my mother will go out for a walk with you again, okay? ”
Du Yi shook his head: "Mother, I am your daughter now, don't treat me as the eldest lady of Du Mansion anymore." Besides, this is not Du Mansion, so there is no need to pamper it. The days of Du Mansion, although they are not good, are better than here, but this shoulder cannot be picked, the hand cannot be lifted, and it is no different from waste. Mother, from now on, you will treat me as an ordinary girl. I can do what this country woman can do. Maybe I'm better than they do. There is a way, if you suffer hardship, you will become a master, so you will rely on me! I'm not going to force myself, just eat after cooking, can I? ”
Liu knew that what Du Yi said was true, although because of the presence of a young lady at home, no matter how good the food was, it could not compare to the worst meal in Du Mansion. Perhaps, she should have listened to Miss.
"Nacheng, my mother will walk with you, if you are tired, you must tell your mother, you know?" Liu felt very sorry for Du Yi, which could be said to be more painful than peach blossoms.
Doe has been her caregiver since she was born. At that time, when she had just left home and missed her little daughter, she regarded Du Yi as a peach blossom. The longer the two get along, the deeper their relationship becomes.
"Okay, I'll remember it. By the way, mother, why don't we ask Peach Blossom and see if she goes? She's not in good shape, but let's just take a walk, it should be okay. When you come back, you can do it together. Let's just walk around the village, and that's it. ”
Thinking that Peach Blossom might be a heart attack, Doe was a little weak. Even if Peach Blossom can really marry someone in the future, giving birth to a child is a ghost gate, and it is a little more dangerous than ordinary people.
As soon as Peach Blossom came out after washing the dishes, she heard Du Yi's words behind her, and said happily: "Okay! ”
She wants the whole village to know that she has a beautiful sister. There is no housework at home now, so it is good to have time to accompany Yiyi to go shopping before the autumn harvest.
Although they only ate seven minutes full, they still consumed after a meal, as Doe said. After walking and stopping, he sat down under the big banyan tree in the village.
"Mother, what's the name of our nearest town? How far is it from our village? After a moment, Doe asked. Since you have to do something, you must understand the distance of transportation or something.
"The nearest town here is called Crescent Town, and if you enter the town, it will take about an hour and a half, but if you have an ox cart, it will take about an hour."
Liu didn't know what Du Yi was going to do, but since she asked, she must have her own reasons.
"Mother, our family is so poor, haven't we thought about doing something to change it?"
Liu sighed: "Why haven't you thought about it?" Not to mention our family, the people in this village, every family wants to have a good life. But the grain produced in the fields, after removing taxes, is not enough for the family to make ends meet. Once the farm is over, the young and middle-aged laborers of every household will go to the town to find work. After a hard day's work, it was only seven or eight words. ”
Suddenly, Du Yi looked at the corner of his eyes and saw that Peach Blossom pursed her lips without saying a word, and her brows were even tighter. I was surprised and asked, "Peach Blossom, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Yiyi, I want to go back, there is still embroidery work at home that has not been done."
As soon as the words fell, I heard someone walking towards this side and asking, "Sister-in-law Liu, I heard that this is your goddaughter?" That's so handsome! ”
Liu smiled, and there was no interface. Although she recognized the mother and daughter in private, the household registration has not been erased, nominally speaking, she is still the nurse of the young lady and the servant of the young lady.
"Sister of the Liu family, your goddaughter heard that she has already promised someone, and she is just waiting to pass through the door, isn't it?" Immediately afterwards, the gossipy woman heard from Aunt Chen and took it out to confirm.
Liu glanced at Peach Blossom and Du Yi in surprise, and found that Du Yi's eyes were calm, so he also smiled at those people, but still did not answer positively. But he opened his mouth and diverted the topic: "I haven't been back for a long time, I haven't seen you for a long time." Has the sister-in-law of the Song family been doing well all these years? ”
The woman who heard this was slightly stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "How good can it be?" The official salt is getting more and more expensive, and it costs fifteen yuan per catty. My family's Agui worked hard all day to earn seven or eight yuan, and he couldn't even afford to eat salt. ”。
At this time, two more women walked in the distance, and when they heard this, they both showed bitter expressions on their faces: "Don't mention it, this year's tax is high again." That dog official, since he took office, the tax has been getting higher and higher every year. After a year of hard work, the remaining food is not enough for my dog to eat for a few days, not to mention us adults. ”
