"Jiang Yin, Jiang Yin, it sounds very poetic, do you want to become a great poet in the future?" Anyway, Rika accepted her kindness.

"Who knows what will happen later! However, I love the fact that the earth is so fragrant and smells of grass. Wake up when you hear the rooster crowing, the sunset is the night, every day is full of vitality, and there is an inexhaustible energy. Bai Jiangyin stroked his two braids.

"I wish you were sincere when you said this." A month's time, whether it is long or not, whether it is short or not, what Bai Jiangyin was at the beginning, what it is now, and the same is true for work. Although she has worked very hard to study, she is always almost something, and the final product is different from others, which seems a little weird. Fortunately, she works hard, and the work assigned to her will be done.

"It really can't be true, you see my hands, every day with a hoe to weed, all blisters, and calluses. I didn't even shout. ”

Rika looked at her palms and really had a few big blisters.

"Then you have to be careful, don't break the blister, or it will hurt more."

Bai Jiangyin approached the pear blossom, "Do you have any secret recipes that you can apply on top to prevent it from hurting?" ”

Rika shook her head. It's just a blister, don't let it break, and when it becomes a cocoon, it won't hurt.

"I've heard that in the remote and backward mountain villages, there are many mysterious legends, and there are many earthworks that are generally very effective, why don't you have anything here?" Bai Jiangyin looked at the door to see if there was anyone outside the door to say.

"Nope!" Ewha is not sure who will pay attention to such a trivial matter.

"Are you sure?"

"Not sure." Rika didn't know what she meant, "What do you keep asking for?" Do you have a loved one with an incurable disease? Need earthwork help? ”

Bai Jiangyin showed an expression of disbelief.

"Do you really have a loved one who has a strange disease?" No way! Some people still believe in this year, although she has only been in school for a few years, but she doesn't believe in superstitions and the like, and many of them are scared of themselves.

"Uh-huh! My uncle had a disease, and when it was rainy, he could only lie in bed with his limbs convulsed. When I went to the hospital, I couldn't find out what kind of illness I had. Moreover, it is getting worse now. Bai Jiangyin whispered.

"When we are sick, we have headaches and colds and so on, and we all go up the mountain to dig herbs to eat, unless we are not suffering from an ordinary serious illness, we will go to the old man in the village to see a doctor, and almost no one uses earthwork. Did your uncle ask Lang Zhong to see it? "The things in Pear Blossom's life are too remote, the hospital in the town is far away from their village, and they have to climb over several mountains, which is very inconvenient to walk, and many people are self-medicated when they are sick.

"You're talking about Chinese medicine." Bai Jiangyin shook his head, "I've seen it too, but it doesn't work much." ”

"So, half of you came here to find out if there is a suitable earthwork for your uncle?" Rika asked.

"Hmm!" Bai Jiangyin nodded.

"I'll go back to my mom and ask if she should know something about earthwork." There is a land temple in the village, and now there is only one offering table still placed there, and Lihua's mother will secretly go to the pillar incense on the fifteenth day of the new year, maybe the mother can know a lot of earthwork commonly used by the older generation.

"Oops! I didn't send this book wrong, you must help me ask more. ”

The pear blossom should be inherited. On the path home overgrown with weeds, I met Jiang Changsheng unexpectedly.

"Rika, go home?" Jiang Changsheng spoke first and said hello.

"yes!" Rika hugged the book in her arms.

Thinking that after saying hello as usual, the two went their separate ways, Jiang Changsheng spoke again: "You are holding a book in your arms?" ”

Pear Blossom turned her head, looked at the book wrapped in red cloth in her arms, and then looked at Jiang Changsheng.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just asking. If you want to read other books, I have a few of them. Attracted by Bai Jiangyin's story, Pear Blossom didn't pay attention to Jiang Changsheng for a while, he was tanned, and he was dressed no different from other teenagers in the village, if it wasn't for his temperament, Pear Blossom really couldn't recognize who he was. It seems that no matter how handsome a young man throws him into the field to do farm work for a while, he will become black and thin, and no one will recognize him.

"No, I've got one that's enough." Rika doesn't like to take people's things for nothing, and the two of them are not familiar enough to borrow things at will.

"Actually, I ......"

"Pear blossom, pear blossom, pear blossom, come back and respond."

Before Jiang Changsheng's words were finished, he was interrupted by the shouts of Lihua's mother.

"Hey! Mom, I'll be right back. Rika apologized and turned around and hurried home.

Don't know what he's going to say? I heard from other educated youths who came with him that he worked very hard, and after returning after a busy day, he would read a book for a while. Rika thought as she walked briskly towards home.

Pear Blossom's mother was born tall and strong, her facial features are ordinary and flat and black, Pear Blossom doesn't look like her at all, she looks a little like her father, they all have the same white skin. No matter how the pear blossom is sunburned, it has always been white, and there is no flaw on the face. Lihua's mother looked at Lihua at the dinner table for a while before she said: "Lihua, when you are okay in the future, don't get too close to those educated youths, and let people gossip." ”

"Got it, Mom." Rika eats the batter in the bowl.

"Lihua, recently your eldest cousin wants to introduce you to a family business, it is a young man in their village, I have seen people, diligent and honest, is a good hand at farming, after you passed, do not worry about eating and drinking. Their family is more prosperous than ours, as long as you are not lazy, life is better than at home. Rika Mom said while eating.

"Did he go to school and know a few words? Can you read poetry to me? "Pear Blossom's series of questions caught Pear Blossom's mother off guard and annoyed Pear Blossom's mother.

"A dead girl, did you think that the opportunity to marry someone from the city came when she saw the educated youth coming to the countryside? I tell you, there are no doors. I don't want to think that the mother-in-law in the city can look at the daughter-in-law in the countryside, watch you in the past, and not rub you to death. ”

"That's better than staying here all the time. Every day is either working or working, and then it's just pulling some parents' shortcomings, arguing all day long for a trivial matter, what's the point. "Rika isn't afraid of her mother. Dad is the head of the family, and sometimes many things have to be nodded and agreed to by him.

"It's against you, who doesn't live like this. You want to live a rich life, why don't you devote yourself to a rich family. Devoted to here, you can only live this kind of life. Rika Mama slapped her chopsticks and was angry.

"Anyway, the person I want to marry in the future must have studied, otherwise I won't go out, stay at home." Pear blossom tricks.

"It depends on whether your brother agrees or not. I knew I wouldn't let you go to school in the first place. Rika Mama pointed to Sister Rika and said, "Eat quickly, go wash the dishes after eating." ”

"Why is the work of washing dishes only done by girls, Xiao Hao is much better than Xiao He, can't two people take turns washing dishes?" Obviously she is a woman, Pear Blossom can't figure it out, how can Pear Blossom's mother divide men and women so clearly. She still has to do all kinds of chores after eating, Xiaohe can't do it, so she can only do a light dishwashing job.

"Women are born to wash dishes and cook, and they can only blame themselves for not being born a man." Ewha Mom said as a matter of course.

Rika really can't understand Rika Mom's words sometimes, but she can't find any reasonable reason to refute it. This is the case with everyone around you. Bai Jiangyin's arrival brought her not only a book, but also another world that was different from here.
