Chapter 328 Rumors Breed Secretly
I don't know who fell asleep first at night, and when Du Mei woke up the next day, she saw Fengxian lying on her side, sleeping peacefully and peacefully, with a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth.
Since then, Du Mei went out every day to collect grain, and ran all over the villages day by day, Guan Yuan followed the stall that collected grain, and received a lot of medicinal materials, his price was fair, he treated people modestly, and won the hearts of the aunts, and the bold girl even took the opportunity to sell medicinal materials to say a few more words to him. Du Mei saw these things in his eyes, and saw that although Guan Yuan was shy, he also dealt with it in moderation, so he made his own decisions and didn't care much.
In various villages, Du Mei paid close attention, but he never saw Xiao Pingzi and Xiao Wu'er collecting medicinal herbs again, so he didn't know if he would come, or avoid them and go to other villages. Du Mei asked Guan Yuan, and he said that the medicinal materials he received were similar to those of previous years, and even because of the door-to-door purchase, he also received a lot of rare things. Hearing him say this, Du Mei relieved himself and went to collect grain.
After the autumn harvest, the old house of the scrap manuscript family has been repaired for more than ten days, and it has a new look, because Du Mei goes out to collect grain every day, the patriarch Du Huaibing does not want to disturb her, so he chooses the auspicious day of the zodiac by himself, and the villagers help set off firecrackers, and Dujiagou Yi School is officially opened.
The three boys of the Lin family all came, and they slept at Du Zhong's house at night, took care of the meals in the Yixue Hall at noon, and ate at Du Mei's house in the morning and evening.
Du Tao and Du Gui and many girls in the village also went to school, as well as boys and girls from other villages, the Yixue Hall accepted more than 20 children of all sizes at once, and the waste manuscripts could not be taught one by one, so they had to be divided into male and female classes and taught separately.
Every day, the noisy sound of the children's chirping, the immature and crisp sound of reading, makes the house that has been silent for more than ten years lively, and the villagers have to stand down and listen to it every time they walk through the courtyard of his house, no matter whether they can understand what they read, they have a satisfied smile on their faces, as if they heard how different Dujiagou is from yesterday.
Du Mei also persuaded Du Shu to go to school, but he went for a few days, and felt that it was not very interesting, so he did not go, and he only liked to take the family's big yellow dog to work in the field every day, or go to the field at the mouth of the fish to catch pheasants and hares.
Time flies like a white horse, in a flash, more than half a month has passed, and the phoenix has quickly recovered under the nourishment of Du Mei's decoction and Xu's food, although it is not as plump as before, but it has a ruddy complexion, good spirits, and a flying and delicate smile on her face.
Because Du Tao and Du Gui had to go to school for half a day in the morning, she helped feed the ducks, most of the time it was done by Xu and Zhang's mother-in-law Xiaolian, and she helped deliver things at most. Seeing that she was a month old, Xu often advised her to be more active, so she walked around the village with Xiaolian when she was free.
The villagers knew that she was a person with status in Qinghe County, only when she came to Du Mei's house to live and relieve boredom, so they treated her very politely, and Fengxian was not a stingy person, but whenever others had any mountain treasures to give her a taste, she had a lot of money to give back, so that the women in the village shared some of Dujiagou's private secrets with her.
Autumn grain granules back to the warehouse, and sold at a good price, the villagers of Dujiagou rushed to sow wheat and plant rape, followed by the long winter leisure season, at this time there are still two months before the New Year, most of the young and strong men who are willing to work take advantage of this time to go out to do odd jobs to earn some expenses under the festival.
There are also lazy or old men, in groups of three or five, with their sleeves copied, gathered in the nest wind of the rising sun, spitting and splashing about the ancients, occasionally speaking badly, and everyone has to have a dispute, until the face is red, and there is no real result, but this does not prevent them from getting together next time, and it is a clichΓ© to talk about this paragraph.
The men are not at home, the children go to school again, the women are idle in the winter, but they are busier, day and night to embroider silk sachets, so that they can earn some money, seeing that the winter wax moon is about to enter, everyone in the family should start to take the soles of the shoes, if a person does these simple and repetitive things it is easy to fall asleep, so the women are more willing to get together while talking and working.
The so-called three women in one play, women sit together, it is inevitable to complain, such as the partiality of the in-laws, the man can't earn money, the child is naughty, etc., and everyone sympathizes or regrets for comfort, and it is easy to expose.
No one says behind anyone's back, who doesn't talk about people behind their backs, and the gossiping women are most enthusiastic about Zhang's family, Li Jiaxiao, especially those who are not in their small circle, and they are happy to talk about it.
The first thing that bears the brunt of this is what happened in front of his eyes, and the long-term worker of Du Sanjin's family looked so wrong! As soon as this remark came out, it was immediately highly recognized.
"Laundry, cooking, and serving the crops, the long-term workers of the Sanjin family are not only doing internal affairs, but also doing external affairs very quickly, and they are not worse than their mothers." A woman was embroidering silk handkerchiefs, and she was rubbing her hair with an embroidery needle.
"No, I once watched him go to the river to wash clothes, tsk, there are children's diapers, women's clothes, it's really everything!" The other woman pursed her lips and shook her head, looking very disdainful.
"What's the way to do this, Mrs. Wei doesn't care about anything, Xie is confined again, the three gold and ten fingers don't touch the spring water, Du Jie is a half-sized son, if he doesn't do it, who will do it." A woman retorted.
"What you said is not right, he is a male long-term worker, and he should not have stayed in their courtyard in this slack season, let alone serving the women's confinement, which man can do it." Another woman embroidered a sachet interjected.
"I'm afraid that this long-term worker owes Du Sanjin a great favor in his last life, and he has been a cow and a horse like this in this life." When a woman finished speaking, she gritted her teeth, and seemed to use the strength of suckling to push out the thick needle and twine on the sole of her shoe with a thimble.
"What you are talking about, where is the owe of three golds, it is clearly owed to the Xie family." Several women next to him laughed, wincing their eyebrows in understanding.
"Don't talk nonsense." The woman with the soles of her shoes was older, glaring at them.
"Where is the nonsense, Xie is a natural fox, look at her walking every day and twisting her waist and hips, that Changgong is the age of blood and strength, how can she withstand her seduction!" A chubby woman pouted.
"It's really strange to say that this Xie family gave birth to a child, I heard his fat aunt say that it was a letter from Changgong, and he was shirtless, and his hand was bloody." The woman embroidering the silk handkerchief said mysteriously.
"Is that really the case? When she gave birth, I happened to go to see what Mrs. Lan meant, what did she do, so she was born prematurely. Another woman pursed her lips and said after a long time of twisting.
Although she didn't say it explicitly, everyone had already guessed from her unspeakable expression, and for a while, the crowd was excited, and the gossip immediately rose to a new height.
"I guess that kid can't keep it or not, it's not the seed of the three golds!" The woman embroidered the sachet lowered her voice and said strangely.
"Don't talk nonsense! Let the patriarch listen to it, but it's amazing, this is to open the ancestral hall and punish it! The woman with the sole of her shoe looked up and looked around warily.
"It's not for no reason that I said this, I saw Xie Shi deliver food on the ridge every day in the spring, and she always waited for no one in the field to go, and it was a long time to go. You think she is such a stinky and beautiful person, on weekdays, where is she willing to go out to bask in the noon sun, this is obviously a ghost. The woman who embroidered the sachet said conclusively.
"As soon as you say this, I think of one thing, one evening in the summer, there are no green onions in my home to cook fish, so I went to the field to pull it out, and I saw someone hugging and hugging behind the cucumber shelf of Sanjin's house next door, it was dark at the time, and I didn't pay attention to it, but now I think about it, it must be the two of them." The chubby woman half-tilted her head, as if she was trying to recall and think.
"The more you talk about it, the more unpleasant it becomes, it's not too early, it's gone, go home and cook!" The woman with the soles of her shoes knew that the matter was serious, and hurriedly interrupted the topic to prevent them from continuing.
If a woman is virtuous, she will not be seen clearly by her husband's family, and she will be punished by the clan rules. Therefore, the woman with the sole of her shoes did not dare to say any more, for fear of harming others and herself.
But once these words are easily spoken, where is it still under her control. Xie and Changgong survived and also had children. Such a strange secret, like a willow leaf in the spring overnight green branches, quickly spread quietly in Dujiagou, of course, this is like the news of the plague, except for the Sanjin family in the dark, only the second courtyard does not know.
That night, Impatiens and Du Mei slept together.
"Meizi, I have something for you." Fengxian went out for a stroll today, and someone with good deeds told her the secret of the Xie family in front of her, and she didn't tell the Xu family for a night, but she really couldn't help but tell Du Mei, otherwise this dirty secret would be too torturous.
"What's wrong? Hungry? I see you're cured with pecia. Du Mei habitually took the pulse of the phoenix.
"It's not me, it's ...... It's your third aunt! Fengxian said in a low voice.
"What's wrong with her, provoking you? Isn't she still in confinement? Du Mei asked, a little confused.
"I heard from the villagers that she ...... Her child is not your third uncle's! Fengxian said to Du Mei almost in a whispered voice.
"The women in the village are all idle, and they like to chew their tongues the most, and most of their words are not credible." Du Mei took Fengxian's pulse, and when she saw that there was nothing abnormal, she lay down, she was tired for a day, and finally could lie comfortably on the bed, she really didn't want to ~ worry about other people's affairs.
"But what they said has a nose and eyes, and it seems wrong for me to look at that long-term worker, how can a long-term worker be willing to be like him." Fengxian said with a twist of good-looking eyebrows.
"I've seen that little baby who looks like her sister." Du Mei recalled Du Zao's pure smile and the thin hand that grabbed her fingers, and her heart suddenly softened like a cloud.
"It's only you who speak for her like this, and everyone in the village has spread it all over, waiting for the full moon to see your third uncle's jokes." Feng Xian sighed, thinking that at the beginning, the Xie family treated the second room like that, but now Du Mei can not care about it.
"I'm not speaking for her, I just don't want to have anything to do with this person." Du Mei looked out the window with a cold gaze.
