(58) I want to fly

It turned out that the family was really surnamed Fang. It is indeed to the grandchildren.

Don't look at that old man who is so depressed now, he was also a man of the hour who had seen the world more than ten years ago. I heard that he is still the palace chef of Bei'an, and he has served the emperor for dinner, and he has some skills.

Their family had already moved to the capital, but when this broom star was born, because of dystocia, his mother almost died. If it's really dead, it's fine, this half-dead, the child's father will go to his daughter-in-law to find a doctor and ask for medicine. Not long after, on a trip out, he encountered a thief, who not only robbed him of all his money, but also tied up a meat ticket to ask the old man for ransom.

Old man Fang was widowed in his early years, and he only had such a lone seedling, of course, he had to redeem his family. But unexpectedly, the thieves blackened their conscience, collected the money, and killed his son. The broom star was overstimulated, and immediately vomited blood and died. Old man Fang was seriously ill, and after waking up, he was able to move, but he left sequelae. The hand doesn't obey the call, he can't stop trembling, he is a cook, he eats with one hand, this hand is unstable, can he still do it?

Old man Fang had no choice but to take the broom star back to his hometown, but there was a scholar in the village who looked at it and said that the child was born with a broom star for the whole family of Ke's father and mother. This is good, Old Man Fang vented all his resentment on him, and always felt that he had come out of his life to destroy his family and cut off his children and grandchildren. After drinking heavily, he either beat or scolded the child. The neighbors in the neighborhood were afraid of bad luck and did not dare to associate with their grandchildren.

Zhang Qingting heard that something was wrong, "Isn't he a boy, why did he let his family lose his children and grandchildren?" ”

Zhao Chengcai said in surprise, "Didn't you understand?" That's a girl, how about a broom star? ”

Yes? Zhang Qingting thought about it carefully, although the young man was a man, he had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he could also be said to be a little girl.

Zhang Qingting didn't believe that there were really broom stars, in their big family, there were more such tricks.

Between wives and concubines, between concubines, in order to compete for favor and profit, they often use some ghosts and gods to say far-fetched. Even Zhang Qingting himself, when he was a child, because he had a melon seed face. It was also said to be a fox with a sharp-beaked monkey's gills. It wasn't until I got older that I got better.

At that moment, she felt more sympathy and pity for the little girl. It's really unbearable to ignore it.

In the evening, Zhao Yulan made dinner. Although each person received only a small piece of fragrant rabbit meat, they were all full of praise, and even the oily pork head meat roasted beans were compared.

Zhang Facai was thick-skinned anyway, and he had the audacity to ask, "Girl, can you bring more back tomorrow?" ”

These words can be regarded as expressing everyone's hearts, but Zhang Qingting suddenly realized another matter. Since the old man has such a good cooking skill, and he can even make some spices to bake such delicious rabbit meat, then even if he can't do things, even if he comes out to give guidance, it's terrible!

Zhang Qingting was suddenly excited by this idea, and he was stunned by the dish, and he fell on the table for a while. Next to him, Zhao Chengcai was quick-eyed, afraid that his mother would nag again, so he quickly picked it up and put it in his bowl.

Zhang Qingting came back to his senses at this time, and Zhao Wang shook his eyes. She didn't realize it, she saw Zhao Chengcai take away the dishes she had dropped, and her face turned red all of a sudden, this action was too intimate, right? No mistakes in many words

They are the most etiquette in their big households, and the chopsticks they have used will never give others a piece of food, and they will also prepare another pair of chopsticks to cover vegetables.

She was about to ask Zhao Chengcai to throw the dish away, but saw that he had already eaten it. It's still staining my own saliva! I feel embarrassed when I think about it, and there is a kind of ambiguity that can't be explained.

Zhang Qingting only felt a fever in his back, his palms were sweaty, and he hurriedly lowered his head to eat. The food that usually feels extremely rough doesn't seem to be so difficult to swallow, so I slipped away after two bites.

I went back to the room, and walked back and forth in the house for a long time before I gradually calmed down.

Just as he wanted to concentrate on pondering the matter of the ancestors and grandchildren of the Fang family, Zhao Chengcai came in, "Lady, my mother asked you to come over and discuss the autumn harvest together." ”

Autumn harvest? What's my business? Zhang Qingting immediately refused, "I won't go to work in the field!" ”

Zhao Chengcai smiled, "Don't worry, I won't arrange you, the weather is fine these days, the wheat in the field is ripe, and we have to come back to dry and harvest before the Mid-Autumn Festival, this year's harvest is a big deal, we have to help boil water and send a meal." Let's hear it! ”

Zhang Qingting got up and came out with him. Everyone finished eating, the two families gathered in the hall, and Zhao Wang sat upright, his eyes swept down. Very imposing.

Zhang Qingting felt bored, Zhao Chengcai brought her a small bench, sat down at the door, and listened to his mother's orders.

Zhao Wang cleared his throat and opened his mouth, "The wheat in this field is ripe, I also asked the feng shui master in the village, there will be no rain in the next few days, then we will start harvesting tomorrow." A total of two acres of land, a family to cut a piece, father-in-law, I will go to your side to watch, your family will let Jinbao work on our side! ”

"Why?" Zhang Jinbao was not convinced at the time.

Zhao Wangshi glanced at him, "I'm afraid that you won't be able to clean it, and it will take two more efforts then!" ”

This Zhang family is too lazy to cramp, as long as she doesn't stare at it, she will try her best to be lazy, do some superficial work, and don't do any real work! If it weren't for the unwillingness to feed them in vain, he had to force them to work, and the Zhao Wang clan was reluctant to hand over their own land to them.

After Zhao Wangshi finished speaking, his eyes stared at Zhang Qingting, "Daughter-in-law!" You have a mission too! ”

Zhang Qingting wants to listen, this old pious woman will give her a task. Ask her to work. That's a hundred!

Zhao Chengcai was afraid that the two would pinch up again, so he hurriedly said, "Mother, didn't you say you didn't need her?" Lady has other things! ”

Zhao Wangshi rolled his eyes and said, "Don't worry, you can't be tired of your daughter-in-law!" She looked at Zhang Qingting with a rare smile, "Daughter-in-law, I know that you are thinking about something big, and I didn't want to bother you, but this autumn harvest is related to the harvest of the year, so I have to alarm you." You see. I want Yulan and my mother to cook at home, and the two small ones Yinbao and Yuanbao can't be idle, so they are responsible for delivering tea and food to the ground, and we have to rush back to dry the ...... after the harvest is finished in one day."

"Huh? What a day! The Zhang family complained, "So anxious? Dry slowly over a few days! ”

"No way!" Zhao Wang's categorically refused, "In case of autumn rain, then this year will be blind, and it must be cut in one day!" Even if you don't sleep until dark, you'll have to finish it for me! Or maybe you're going to eat! ”

Zhang Xiaodie objected again, "Then you change my brother to your family, three men on your side, two women on our side, this is not fair!" ”

Zhao Wang said, "Then you go to my family's land, and your brother stays!" ”

Zhang Xiaodie was so silent, she thought that the Zhao family's father and son were easy-going, and she would always take advantage of them by following them.

How could Zhao Wang not know her careful thoughts? Immediately snorted coldly, "When the time comes, let's draw a line, everyone will do their own piece, if anyone can't finish it, figure it out by themselves!" ”

That's fair and reasonable! Zhang Qingting nodded secretly, dealing with these people in their family, he came up with such a trick. But what about herself? Is it possible that you have to pay for it yourself?

Sure enough, she guessed it! Just listen to Zhao Wang's words, "Daughter-in-law, then I'm going to trouble you to buy a vegetable in the next few days, and you can't take it alone, so let Chengcai help you!" Isn't that hard? No mistakes, not a lot of words"

"Of course it's not difficult." Zhang Qingting smiled slightly, "Mother-in-law, how much money you give, of course your daughter-in-law will do as much as she wants." ”

Zhao Wangshi also smiled, "Oh, it's really unfortunate, this has to be harvested, I have to borrow someone else's mill to grind wheat, I have already advanced all the money in my hand, and I can't turn it around for the time being, so you have to pay it first." ”

Zhang Qingting was about to refuse. But I heard Zhang Xiaodie say pitifully, "Sister, you can buy a few good dishes, you can take off a layer of skin once this autumn harvest, can you make some soup?" ”

As soon as she spoke, the rest of the Zhang family should also reconcile. Zhang Qingting looked at him coldly, he can't kill you! Still want soup?

Zhao Chengcai quietly pulled her sleeve, "You should go down first." ”

Zhang Qingting snorted from his nose, neither nodding nor shaking his head.

Then Zhao Wangshi agreed to her, "In this case, the three days of buying vegetables will be handed over to the daughter-in-law!" Everyone has an early rest tonight, and a good job tomorrow morning! ”

When he returned to the house, Zhao Chengcai said, "This autumn harvest is really hard, don't believe me I'll take you to take a look, the money you borrowed from me last time hasn't been used up yet, let's take it and buy vegetables first." ”

He was very embarrassed and said, "This is still with your money, I will not be able to spend the county school money in two months." I don't know where to find an errand, and the money I owe you has to be paid back slowly. Although the mother slammed the door, but she didn't tell a lie, the wheat was dried, and she had to quickly thresh and grind it into flour, this weather, there must be a lot of people to harvest, there are these mills in the village, at this time, you have to make a deposit in advance to make it to us, and it's not all about you. ”

Zhang Qingting pouted and said, "There's another Mid-Autumn Festival here!" Your mother wants me to buy this holiday stuff together, she's really good at picking days! ”

Zhao Chengcai has no money now, so it is difficult to speak, "Then I ...... Write you another IOU? ”

Seeing his embarrassed look, Zhang Qingting didn't want to be too embarrassed, waved his hand and said, "Forget it!" Enough money is spent, I don't care about this one, let's find someone to install the door tomorrow. ”

Early in the morning of the second day, as soon as the chicken crowed for the second time, Zhao Wang's family called everyone up, and several members of the Zhang family rubbed their sleepy eyes and complained again and again, and even Zhang Qingting was silent, and his face was gloomy.

"Is it still early?" Zhao Wangshi puffed out his mouth and pointed to the kitchen, "My Yulan has already gotten up, and even the meal is ready!" Do you have something to complain about? Hurry up and get to work! ”

Everyone was silent, they washed up, ate breakfast, led by Zhao Wang, and went to the ground in a mighty way.

Zhao Yulan brought a wicker basket, "Sister-in-law, you can use it when you go shopping for vegetables!" She timidly asked, "You want to buy groceries?" ”

Zhang Qingting got up and said unhappily, "Then you want to eat?" Did your mother still appoint it? Don't pay for it, but also picky! ”

Zhao Yulan's face turned red, and she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I didn't mean that!" I mean, you...... If you buy fish or something, remember to come back with ginger and garlic, which is not grown at home. ”

"That's it! I know! Zhang Qingting took the wicker basket and turned his head to greet Zhao Chengcai, "Are you okay?" ”

"That's it! All right! Zhao Chengcai was planning to make tea, preparing to send it to the ground for a while.

Zhang Qingting saw that Zhang Luo's meal was full, he hid aside and was lazy, and frowned unhappily and said, "You go and make tea!" ”

Zhang Luo glanced at her and hurriedly went over to pick up the kettle in Zhao Chengcai's hand.

Zhao Chengcai was a little embarrassed, after all, this is his mother-in-law! "It's okay, I'll do it!"

Zhang Luo was happy to be idle and stood next to him again.

Zhang Qingting frowned and said, "If you are told to put it down, let it go!" This tea is not a heavy job, I don't need you to be humble, hurry up and buy the vegetables with me, I still have something to do! ”

This daughter-in-law is really fierce! Zhao Chengcai was secretly speechless, and smiled at Zhang Luo's family, "Then it's hard for you!" Put down the kettle, quickly wiped his hands, and came to Zhang Qingting's side.

Zhang Qingting handed the vegetable basket into his arms, "Let's go!" He turned around and walked out the door.

Zhao Chengcai thought to himself, am I not a little follower? No way, who calls people rich! Shaking his head, he followed.

When he went out, Zhang Qingting asked, "Where to buy vegetables?" ”

Well? Zhao Chengcai is really dumbfounded, you don't know where to buy vegetables when you kill pigs for many years?

Zhang Qingting glanced at him impatiently, "Don't be sluggish, lead the way!" ”

She has gradually become accustomed to Zhang Dragonfly's body these days, even if she walks and runs, she doesn't feel very tired, although her movements still have to be elegant, but they are undoubtedly much faster.

"Oh!" Zhao Chengcai wondered in his heart, but he also accelerated his pace to the morning market.

There was still a light moon and stars in the sky, but the hard-working people had already begun their day's work.

The crowing of chickens and dogs broke the silence of the early morning. In the chimneys of many homes, there is curling green smoke, and when the sky is about to dawn, a dark trace is faintly outlined in the sky. The fresh air still stained with dew was refreshing, and after walking a few steps, the original sleepiness gradually dissipated, and with the white fish belly in the sky, Zhang Qingting gradually cheered up.

Take a deep breath and look around, although the early morning in the countryside is not as prosperous and beautiful as the Nankang Jingshi, but the vitality bred in it is not without merit.

Look at the yellow and clear wheat in the field, the red sorghum is bent down heavily, and when the wind rises, it rolls like a wave, surging with the hope of harvest. Farmers and herdsmen are unrestrained with hoes and whips, living freely and thriving in this vast land.

This situation and this scene made Miss Zhang suddenly think of the poems of her predecessors, "The ambiguous distant village, the smoke in the ruins." The dog barks in the deep alley, the rooster cries and the mulberry tree is upside down...... After being in the cage for a long time, you can return to nature. ”

At this time, it is very appropriate.

Zhang Qingting felt that he seemed to be a canary trapped in a cage for a long time, accidentally breaking into such a natural and vast world.

The little finch chirped and jumped on the branches, attracting her attention, Zhang Qingting didn't feel it, is this me now? All day long in order to wrap up the stomach and be warm, he was busy jumping up and down. But is this my future? Do you really want to find another luxurious cage to live in, and then be a canary with no worries about food and clothing? Zhang Qingting was suddenly a little uncertain.

If she hadn't flown before, she might never have realized something was wrong. But now she has relied on her little wings to flutter and jump on the branches, although she is very tired, but she really relies on her own strength to fly. It's not like at home, where you have to look at your parents' faces everywhere. Although the days in Bei'an were hard, here, she began to have something that she dreamed of before, but couldn't think of, that is called freedom.

Suddenly, I heard a loud and long chirp, and when I looked up at the sky, it was a goshawk soaring above the boundless blue sky. The sun hadn't come out yet, but it was already faintly showing a little golden light. The clear and bright river water of Erdaozigou sang happily, like Bai Lian, and poured into the wider river and sea one after another.

The eagle strikes the sky, and the river flows eastward. The sudden ground makes people's hearts swell with pride.

There was something faintly sprouting in Zhang Qingting's heart, springing up like mushrooms after a rain, and it couldn't be stopped.

Is it worth the short troubles of parents? Just look at the Zhang and Zhao families who rely on themselves so much, does this mean that they are really capable? Not to mention anything else, then Zhao Wang's is amazing, even she is looking forward to herself so eagerly, which is enough to show that she is different and valuable!

Since the heavens have given me such a bizarre encounter, could it be that the heavens will descend on the Si people?

I haven't been here for a long time, but I have earned more than two hundred taels of silver by relying on my wisdom, so will I earn more in the future?

It is comfortable to be a pampered rich flower in the inner courtyard of a deep house, but if you can spread your wings and fly into the blue sky with your own strength, wouldn't it be more free?

On such an early morning, looking at the goshawk in the sky, Miss Zhang had an epiphany, it turned out that she had always had a heart eager to fly.

After the mood suddenly cleared up, the stance and height of the problem were different.

The agreement with Zhao Xiucai shows that he suffers a loss, but if he can really find a way to earn a thousand taels because of this, why worry about not having two thousand taels or three thousand taels?

If I have money, why should I be attached to a man? Are there places in the world that I can't go, and there are things I can't do?

Zhang Qingting suddenly felt the feeling of blood boiling, and she began to realize that the purpose of making money should not only be to repay debts and deal with the two families, but also to focus on her long-term development in the future.

Since then, she has really put all her mind to it.

Take that 1,000 taels of silver as your first goal!

Zhang Qingting secretly decided, only this girl can't think of it, and there is nothing that this girl can't do!

In such an ordinary and special morning, some things gradually faded from Miss Zhang's body, and some things began to sprout from her.

***

Xiao Qingting is starting to grow from her heart, good luck to her! Come on!
