Chapter 149: Encounter
To Ye Feng's surprise, the very inconspicuous-looking plant called "Yellow Under Your Feet", coupled with Hu dou lacquer, turned out to be very effective. After eating it four or five times, Chen Jixing felt that his teeth no longer hurt.
Thinking that he couldn't stand the bitter taste of the yellow under his feet, and the symptoms had indeed been reduced a lot, so he offered not to eat anymore. Ye didn't follow him, but said, "Eat a few more times, just eat all the ones I picked up." ”
said this, but secretly went to the lake to pick some back. In this way, under Ye's "coercion and temptation", Chen Jixing ate it several times, until the green-shell duck eggs sent by Liu were all eaten, and Ye let him go.
Who is the biggest in the Ye family now, no one dares to mess with her.
Later, Ye Feng learned that Chen Jixing was like this a few times ago, and every time he was a little better, he refused to continue taking medicine. If it weren't for Ye's big belly this time, Chen Jixing probably wouldn't have been so easy to comply.
In fact, there is a reason why Ye did this, in the words of Chen Jiacun, "send the illness farther away". To put it bluntly, it is to eat more often and consolidate it.
The newly appointed swineherd Chen Jitang is very happy with his current life, in his current words, that is, he suddenly found the direction of life and the meaning of life.
Every morning, he would get up and pour the green fodder he had chopped last night into the big pot and start cooking pig food. Because this stove was built by Chen Qianshan, the quality is as good as ever. There is no need for an additional fire, and the flame will automatically move to the position of the other pot.
When the pig food is cooked, his meal is almost ready.
is not as particular as others, and his cooking skills are really not good, so his meals are almost the same, either pancakes or a little noodle soup and pickles.
Ye inadvertently knew that he had been living like this, and he was a little unhappy, so he asked Chen Jixing to move a jar of sauerkraut from his house and send it over. It's nothing, but it's better than not eating at all.
Chen Jitang seemed to have some kind of treasure, and stipulated that he could only fish sauerkraut from this jar once a day for dinner. Ye Shi, who learned of the situation, couldn't cry or laugh, and promised to come to him regularly to give him kimchi, so Chen Jitang was willing to eat it.
After feeding the pigs and cleaning the pigsty, he carried the bamboo basket to the lake to collect pigweed. In short, his life is extremely regular now. Maybe there is no pressure, and the whole person looks a lot younger.
No, as soon as he came home with a large load of pigweed, he met Aunt Cha Wu who had just pulled a vegetable and was about to go home to cook.
Seeing that it was Aunt Cha, Chen Jitang subconsciously wanted to take a detour.
Although he is single, there is really nothing to talk about by Aunt Cha. But Aunt Cha's name is there, so he is reluctant to contact it easily, and he still thinks that he will talk about his family affairs next year, but he can't get involved with this kind of woman.
Aunt Cha didn't know this, if she knew that she even disliked people like Chen Jitang, she didn't know how she would feel. Seeing Chen Jitang walking diagonally, she thought it was caused by the heavy pigweed on the other party's back.
To say that Chen Jixing and the others are really not things! First, he proposed to be a cook, which quickly widened the income gap with the villagers. Now, I started feeding the pigs again, but I still asked someone to feed it, isn't it obvious that I am exploiting people!
Thinking of this, Aunt Zha Wu pretended to be kind and walked up and said, "Yo, isn't this Brother Chen?" Look at you carrying such a big basket of pigweed, quickly put down and rest, and carefully flashed your waist. If you want to say that your master is too domineering, ouch, what a cleverness! ”
However, Chen Jitang listened to Aunt Cha's words, and he was angry.
Brother Chen? Hmph, didn't you always call yourself a black dog before! Chen Jitang slandered in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and said in his mouth: "It's okay, I'm used to it." This pigweed can't overwhelm me, where is it so squeamish. ”
With that, he was ready to move on.
However, it is clear that Aunt Cha does not intend to let him go.
I saw that she took the initiative to step forward and hugged the lower part of the back basket, and then said, "I'll help you, put it down and rest." ”
Although he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Aunt Cha's gourd, he was still afraid that the other party would deceive him, so thinking of this, he hurriedly put down the back basket slowly. It's okay to rest for a while, anyway, the piglets are still young and can't eat much, so this work is not very tiring.
Aunt Cha, who achieved her goal, was happy in her heart.
Thinking of what he had just said, Chen Jitang did not express his opinion, and opened his mouth again and said, "I heard that you are going to raise fifty pigs?" Yo, it's not easy, is it? Hey, if you want to say that Chen Jixing and his family are really famous, they actually started to hire people to work. It's just that it's too unconscionable. It's just enough to raise twenty or thirty heads, but it's fifty all of a sudden. ”
She thinks that what she says is not an exaggeration, and Chen Jitang is a lazy and unmotivated lazy man in her heart. If he can listen to his own words and stop doing it from now on, then Chen Jixing's family will be busy.
Everyone knows that the Ye family is about to give birth, and there are fifty pigs in the pen, let's see what they do.
As soon as Chen Jitang heard this, he instantly understood the intention of Aunt Cha, but he understood it to mean something else. In Chen Jitang's view, Aunt Cha sows discord like this, which is nothing more than seeing that she has an income of twenty taels a year.
If she is fooled and stops, she will turn her back and let her Chen Lao Wu go.
Thinking of this, Chen Jitang stopped resting, picked up the basket and left quickly while saying that he had rested enough. It's just that I also have a firm idea in my heart, that is, I should stay away from Aunt Cha.
The people in the village are right, this Aunt Cha is a troublemaker, for fear that others will have a good life. In the past, when he didn't have work, he didn't see her greet him. Fortunately now, as soon as she found a job to do, she came to encourage herself to quit.
Besides, the Ye family often brought him food, and even moved a jar of kimchi to him. Where can I find such a master's house?
Seeing that Chen Jitang was obviously not fooled, Aunt Cha was not annoyed, clapped her hands, and went home to cook with the dishes. Anyway, it's still a long time, and she will always find a chance.
This year is a leap year, so the Chinese New Year will not be until mid-February.
Because of the long time span, there are a lot of people who make banquets during this time, and the business is coming to the door one after another, and the members of the two teams of duck and duck village chefs are busy and happy.
I don't know if it's convenient or all of them are taken out, but most of these businesses are all-inclusive. This can make everyone happy, although tired, but work harder.
In the past two months, everyone has earned nearly twenty taels of silver on average, and everyone is happy, thinking that this year can have a fat year. In particular, some people who want to eat and drink but have never dared to buy them because they have no money, and now they dare to buy them.
Adults are like this, and the children of these families are naturally well-off, almost all of them are the same as Qianyan, they have a few pocket money, and they go to the grocery store in the village from time to time to buy some snacks to eat.
This is the envy of the children in the village.
Because of the good business, Chen Jiwang naturally didn't fall in the field, but except for one or two of the money he earned for Mrs. Liu, the rest went into Huang's pocket.
Zhu is okay, he lives clearly, and has his own plan in his heart. Except for the filial piety to Mrs. Liu, and the purchase of beaded flowers for Chen Wumei, the rest are saved.
But it was the first time for the Huang family to get so much silver like this, and she felt that the old mansion must be hers, so she was not merciless in spending the money. She had long coveted the silver bracelet, so she bought it without hesitation after getting it this time. Five taels of silver, just like that, she wore it on her hand.
Thinking that it would definitely not be enough to be like this, after thinking about it, he bought a few sets of new clothes for the two children and Chen Jiwang.
Seeing that Huang didn't know how to plan and save, and spent money like water, Chen Jiwang originally wanted to say a few words. But when I thought that I was making money, it was originally to improve the living conditions of my family, and I couldn't say anything about her. As soon as he opened his mouth, the Huang family would definitely cry and make trouble, it was going to be the New Year, so why bother.
After thinking about it, I endured it.
Huang became more and more proud, wearing her newly acquired bracelet and newly purchased clothes to show off in front of Aunt Cha and Fan. Fan's didn't care, he didn't see any vinegar at all, but he sincerely praised Huang's good-looking, more like a few years younger.
Aunt Cha is different, she is sour and jealous, and she rolls her eyes at Fan at every turn, which makes Huang feel very accomplished.
Although she likes both the performances of Fan and Aunt Cha, she prefers to see Aunt Cha's anger and jealousy more than Fan's generosity.
Chen Jixing's family is not so idle, just because there are too many things. Of course, the biggest thing is Ye's belly.
Although it is calculated that the birth will be in March according to the day, Ye's has always been unable to sleep well recently, his whole body is weak, and his feet are so swollen that he can't even wear shoes. Dr. Mao also came to see it once, saying that he was about to give birth and needed to be ready at any time. For the sake of safety, Chen Jixing and the others took the risk of letting Chen Qianshan carefully drive the car to send the Ye family to the city to see Dr. Zhang once.
As a result, the answer was the same, they all said that they were about to give birth.
After returning home, under the command of Yip, Chen Jixing began to purchase all the items needed. It's just that he is a big man, and he doesn't know what to buy at all, Qianyan and Ye Feng are small, and the Lin family can't help.
Fortunately, with the help of Ye Ermei and Zhao's family, Ye Feng proposed to let Dr. Zhang make a list, and several people bought it according to it, but they didn't make any jokes, and finally bought all the items neatly.
Thinking about this ancient condition, Ye Feng asked Chen Jixing to buy some spirits and lime back, carefully cleaned a room on the west side of the first floor, and sprinkled it with spirits and lime to disinfect it.
According to Ye Feng's idea, he originally wanted to rent a house in the city and come back to live when Ye was born. But in this way, the people in the village may not know what to say about the Ye family, so they have to give up.
But rumors and gossip are nothing compared to life.
Ye Feng finally thought of a compromise solution, that is, he personally found the midwife in Lijia Village, and said very arrogantly: "Granny Zhu, my sister is a twin this time, it is not easy, you have to be on call." If it goes well, I'll give you ten taels of silver when the time comes. ”
When Granny Zhu heard this, she was naturally willing.
In her opinion, Ye's is the third child, and she can give birth with her eyes closed. And the peasant woman, which one is not going to give birth to several children. Ye Feng was so careful, it was a bit hypocritical.
However, this is ten taels of silver, and if she changes to an ordinary family, how many times does she need to deliver babies to earn it. For the sake of the silver, she said yes.
In this way, Ye Feng did everything he could, and at the end, he pulled Dr. Mao and said a few good words, and then he put his mind at ease and waited for Ye's to give birth.
I just don't know if the Ye family will be born before or after the Chinese New Year.
It's just that they didn't expect that a big event was about to happen, disrupting all the preparations at home and catching everyone off guard. Fortunately, all this was prepared in advance, otherwise, I really don't know what would have happened.
On this day, Ye's mental state was very good, because she had a rare good night's sleep last night, and she was in a very good mood when she got up early. Coupled with the rare warm winter sun, Ye proposed to go to the city.
Everyone thought about it, and if they didn't go, it would only be a long time later. After all, she was about to give birth, and then she had to confinement to nurse the child, so she agreed to her request, and the whole family went out collectively.
Speaking of which, since the peanut feast, the Ye family has never entered the city again. When he arrived in the city, the Ye family had a great appetite and bought a lot of delicious food. At the end, I still felt that I was still unsatisfied, so I went to the pastry shop I frequented, and prepared to buy some pastries and put them back to eat slowly.
It has been half a year since the clown girl followed the Zhu couple to Qingshan County, so she went from being strange and scared at the beginning to becoming familiar with it later. Now, she dares to go around alone.
With new clothes, she no longer looks like a little beggar.
During this time, due to the launch of leaf-themed jewelry, and learned the custom model of Youmeizhai, coupled with the dismal business of the other two shops because of infighting, Zhenbaozhai is simply outstanding, making a lot of money, and directly entertaining several people, especially Baizhi County.
Yao Wushuang saw that Shopkeeper Ye no longer hated him, and saw that his idea was affirmed by Shopkeeper Ye, and he was also very happy in his heart, and rewarded a lot of silver for a while. It makes Jumbo Zhai more lively and happy than the New Year.
The clown girl also got a reward of one or two pieces of silver because she came out and handed over a teapot. She didn't dare to hide herself, but immediately turned around and went back to the house to give Zhu.
Zhu thought about it and felt that he needed a lot of silver to find his son, so he accepted it. But in the end, she took out 300 wen to the clown sister and asked her to go out and buy something to eat.
This is the first time that the clown girl has her own pocket money.
As soon as she got the silver, she came to the pastry shop that Ye frequented. She has been hungry for these pastries for a while, but she knows in her heart that she is just a fence now, and some of them are already very satisfied with eating and drinking, and they don't dare to mention that they want to eat pastries.
Now that she has the silver, she naturally wants to try it.
I wish Aunt Xue a piece, Daddy Xue a piece, and a piece of herself, the clown sister thought happily in her heart, ranking behind the Ye family.
Seeing that there were still many people in front of him, Ye Feng, who was standing on the side of the line, said, "Sister, come out, I'll help you line up." "If you want to say that there are too many people in line, it will not be good if you bump into Ye's.
If something really happens, Dr. Zhang is a man, there is a lot of inconvenience, where is the stable woman in the city, they don't know, and they will really be crazy when the time comes.
But Ye replied: "Don't, I'll arrange it myself." You don't know, the queue is not so sad, you can always smell the fragrance of pastries wafting from the shop. You think, the next time I have a chance to come to the queue, maybe a year or even two years away. ”
In this regard, Ye Feng admired the five-body throw, and he didn't know what to say. Chen Qianshan and Chen Jixing were bored of queuing, so they went shopping to see the excitement. Ye Ermei naturally followed, saying that she was buying some more clothes for the child who was about to be born.
There was no way, Ye Feng had to follow and watch.
The clown girl behind the Ye family was blocked by the body of the Ye family because of her small body, and she couldn't see it at all if she didn't pay attention to it. But Qianyan, who was standing with Ye Feng, saw her.
"Mother, there is a sister behind you, don't press her." Seeing that Ye was only concerned about chatting with Ye Feng, the kid laughed like that again, and Qianyan reminded him. Xu is the same as the economic conditions of his family that are gradually improving, and Qianyan's level of understanding is also increasing day by day.
Hearing this, Ye slowly turned around and saw the skinny little clown girl. I don't know why, since the first time Ye saw the clown girl, he had an indescribable sense of familiarity in his heart.
I guess it's because I'm about to give birth.
Seeing Ye staring at herself, the clown girl was a little scared. To be honest, she hasn't dealt with any strangers yet, and Zhu and Xue Laohan always remind her to be careful of strangers, maybe it's Huazi.
Therefore, her gaze was a little evasive, and she hesitated to continue buying pastries.
Seeing that Ye Shi was staring directly at the clown girl, Ye Feng also looked at it a few more times. It's just that this kid is nothing special except for being thin and dark, and I don't know what Ye is thinking.
And Ye's is like this, obviously scaring other children.
Thinking of this, Ye Feng reminded Ye Shi and said, "Sister, you move forward, you see, the team has advanced a little more." Hearing this, Ye Shi did not move forward, but directly stepped forward and took the clown sister's hand and asked, "Little sister, how old are you this year?" ”
Seeing that Ye Shi was staring at herself at first, and now stepping forward to pull herself, the clown girl became more and more afraid. However, seeing so many people here, if the Ye family dared to carry her away, she would shout.
Seeing Qianyan dressed so well, full of confidence, how could he be as pitiful and cowering as himself. After thinking about it, the clown girl said a little angrily: "I don't know, I don't have a biological father, and no one will tell me." ”
didn't know his age, and said that he didn't have a biological father, Ye Shi was even more excited when he heard it, and tried his best to calm himself down, so he continued to smell: "Then what about your father, where did they go?" ”
It seems that this person is not a good person, the clown sister thought to herself. Zhu told her that Hanako likes to ask the baby's father and mother where it is, and then offer to take the baby to find the father, and then take the opportunity to abduct it.
Thinking that the person standing in front of her might be a flower child, the clown girl was much more vigilant, and looked back and forth at Ye many times, and then said carefully: "I don't have a father, but I have a godfather and a godmother." Then, they are in front of the treasure house, don't mess around. ”
At this time, even Ye Feng was a little surprised. Obviously, Ye's question is purposeful, and the child actually said that he has no father and mother, which is obviously unreasonable, unless he was abducted.
"Do you have a black birthmark on your left knee?" Ye Shi became more and more excited, so he almost stepped forward to open his pants and looked. However, seeing the vigilance on the clown girl's face, she obviously regarded her as a flower.
So, she let go of the clown girl's hand and kept a certain distance, wanting the other party to feel that she was not a bad person.
The people in front of the queue had left a long distance, and the people behind began to urge and complain, hoping that Ye and the clown girl could move forward, after all, they were still waiting to buy pastries.
Who knows, Ye Shi didn't move forward, just quietly waited for the clown girl's answer, as if he was afraid of missing something. When the people in the back saw such a scene, they seemed to understand something, half of them spontaneously crossed over the two of them to make up for it, and half of them surrounded Ye and the clown sister to watch the excitement.
Just by Yip's tone, they sensitively felt that there would be a story.
"How do you know, how do you know I have a birthmark......" was said by Ye, and the clown girl's face was full of incredulity. At first, Zhu didn't even know about this secret, but later Zhu found out when she bathed her.
So how did Yip find out?
At this moment, the clown girl forgot that she was even afraid, and looked at Ye Shi in a daze.
Hearing this, Ye Feng was even more surprised, could it be that this is a thousand words that have been lost for eight years? Thinking of this, Ye Feng carefully looked at her and Qianyan, trying to find out the similarities between the two.
It's just that at this glance, Ye Feng was stunned, if from the perspective of physiognomy, although the clown girl and Qianyan are thin and fat, black and white, their facial features are extremely similar.
It's not like Ye's, but it's very much like Chen Jixing.
Thinking of this, Ye Feng was suddenly startled.
"Not only do I know that you have a black birthmark on the knee of your left leg, but I also know that you have a scar on your right middle finger, which was a wound from accidentally touching a kitchen knife in the stove when you were a child. You have two swirls on the top of your head, so I always complain that you won't look good when you comb your hair when you grow up; Is the nail on your left thumb growing? I blamed ...... carelessness that time," Ye Shi said, the calmer he became.
She thought she would cry, but she didn't. Over the years, her tears have almost dried up. It's just that her gaze at the clown girl became more and more gentle, and even the onlookers could see it.
This one said, "Oh my God, this is such a coincidence, this little girl is her lost daughter, right?" ”
The other interjected: "In the world, only a mother can know the characteristics of her daughter so well." It's just that it's too coincidental, and you can meet ...... when you buy a pastry."
"Just by looking at that look, there are five or six points of resemblance."
Seeing that Ye was so clear about her physical characteristics, and hearing the crowd say this, the clown girl didn't know what to do. Ban Xiang said: "You, how do you know this, didn't my godmother tell you?" ”
In her cognition, this is the only explanation. Zhu is helping her find her father, so she naturally knows this.
"Because I'm your mother. You are eight years and four months old this year, your name is Chen Qianyu, and you were born in Chenjia Village...... Seven years ago, a man who called himself a fairy girl abducted you from your grandmother......"
Looking at the clown girl with an incredulous face, Ye said word by word.
Hearing this, the crowd made a sound that seemed to be "I see", but the clown girl was even more confused. Suddenly, she wondered if the Ye clan would join forces with these people to deceive her, in order to abduct her again.
Thinking of this, the clown girl ran away and ran towards Zhenbao Zhai desperately.
She's going to go to Zhu for help.
If the Ye family was still calm just now, then at this moment, seeing Qianyu running away, she couldn't calm down anymore, but held the big scary belly with her hand, and said to Ye Feng while walking forward desperately, Hurry, follow her.
After so many years, since God arranged for them to reunite here, she would not give up this opportunity.
