"Okay, okay, none of us should mention the past, just live a prosperous life!" Meng Qigu held Ran Jia's hand tightly, squinted and said with a smile.

Children have their own children's blessings, for her, Ran Jia is the same as being a daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, and even the daughter is intimate. As long as the young one doesn't make trouble, she will be developed by them, if Ran Jia is not willing at all, she will take her son out to live, and wait for them to find a suitable marriage partner.

Ran Jia was seriously injured, and she was mentally exhausted from crossing the plane, listening to Meng Qigu's chattering voice, her eyelids were heavy and gradually fell asleep together.

As soon as the sky was bright, Meng Qigu got up, and Ran Jia, who was fully asleep, also opened her eyes.

"People are old and sleep less, you can sleep again, I'll go make porridge for you to drink," Meng Qigu patted her on the shoulder, got up and got out of bed.

Maybe the soul and body are fused, or maybe this body is young and recovers quickly, which will make Ran Jia's head less painful. She smiled and shook her head: "I've slept for a day and a night, and it would be silly to sleep again." ”

"That's okay, you lie down and get up again when it's time to eat," Meng Qigu nodded, got dressed and opened the doors and windows to breathe.

The days of April have begun to grow, the sky is white, the wind is cool but not cold, blowing on people's skin to bring lazy sleep, the village roosters croak one after another, waking up the people in the village, and the kitchen chimney curling smoke one after another.

The farmer's breakfast was very simple, a bowl of corn paste, a multigrain steamed bun and a plate of pickles, which was Meng Qigu's. Ran Jia's is a bowl of golden millet porridge boiled thick with a layer of rice oil, with a large spoonful of brown sugar in the middle, as well as two boiled eggs and a white fat steamed bun.

"You are a patient who wants to eat something good, and if there is so much blood, it doesn't matter if you are humble or not. You've taken care of your body, it's stronger than anything else! Meng Qigu also put a plate of fried peanuts in front of Ran Jia, "It was sent by your fourth brother, your second sister-in-law got up early in the morning to steam steamed steamed buns, soft and sweet, you taste it to your appetite." This plate of peanuts was snatched from your godfather's appetizers, and the old man was rare, but when he heard that he was bringing you food, he poured most of it without saying a word. Say that peanuts also replenish qi and blood. ”

Ran Jia didn't shirk it anymore, eating it in small bites, all of which were food grown up from the ground little by little, and the eggs were also under the free-range local chickens with no added hormones at home, all of which had the purest taste, and the steamed buns were full of sweetness.

After eating, Meng Qigu washed her hands and feet neatly, and then sat under the eaves with a basket of threads and talked to Ran Jia through the window, talking about the three daughters-in-law in the family, a few naughty grandsons and well-behaved nieces in the family, and four bastard boys and two squeamish girls.

Ran Jia squinted and listened, gently breathing in the earthy air, looking at the more and more charming outside the house, all the anxiety and confusion of yesterday precipitated. She has good craftsmanship, she doesn't have to worry about having no money, and now she recognizes the village chief's family as her godparents, looking at Meng Qigu's strength to protect herself, she is afraid that she has a large number of relatives.

Ran Jia has no memory of herself, but she can smell the same breath from the original owner, and she is afraid that she also has an unpleasant past, so she will be forced to become a time-space wanderer in desperation.

And from the relatives in Meng Qigu's mouth, they are all very protective and righteous, as long as they are recognized, they will be twisted into a rope, at least in ten miles and eight townships, there is no need for cowardice, even if it is a rich landlord, or even a county official. After all, Meng Qigu's relatives have everything, including the uncle of the master of the city, the brother-in-law who walks the darts, the son-in-law who walks the streets and alleys, the nephew of the cousin's family who runs a shop in the county, the brother of the official in the town, and the father who is in charge of hundreds of households!

Of course, there are carpenters, blacksmiths, masons, teachers, bookkeepers, shopkeepers, shopkeepers, housekeepers of five-grade officials, etc., but anything you can think of, Meng Qigu's relatives are all engaged in it!

Ran Jia didn't feel bored at all when she heard the novelty, but her prepared heart was aroused. The positioning of life at the beginning of life can't be too low, otherwise how to work hard?

She was almost trapped by the original owner's wishes, she is a person, even if she accepts the task to complete a long life for others, it is only a task, not her life.

If she works hard to live, she must cherish every minute and every second now, and if she works hard now, she may be more lucky in the future. She has also seen the development of social civilization through modern science and technology, and if she really looks for a man to farm and weave, she will be a little too much.

Not to mention that according to Meng Meihe's tossing method of struggling from the countryside to Kyoto, he also had to save some silver, which people couldn't easily underestimate. Moreover, in modern society, women go out to work, not necessarily to make money to support their families, but to realize their own life value, and at the same time to be financially independent, in order to make their personality independent.

Only when a woman's personality is independent and she does not become an accessory to a man, her charm naturally exudes, and her life has more hope and planning, so that she can live up to her youth.

Her eyes exuded a fine starlight, and she groped in the bed for a long time and took out a purse tied with a bag, which contained six taels of silver, which was the money for the food produced in the field in the past year to remove her rations and sell it, plus the original owner usually asked Meng Qigu to help her get silver money from the embroidery shop in the town.

She took out five taels of silver from it, pushed it to Meng Qigu, and said with a smile: "Godmother, the things that my brother-in-law sells in the streets and alleys are imported from Fucheng, right?" Can you ask him to help me with some needlework and fabric? ”

"It's okay, just find someone to send a message, and when he brings you something back, it's not too late for you to settle accounts with him." Meng Qigu frowned slightly and looked at the handful of broken silver, and couldn't help but ask: "Do you need so much silver to buy needles and threads and fabrics?" I can tell you, we are country people, there are no rules of high-ranking families. ”

She was referring to the etiquette of worshipping relatives, Ran Jia shook her head, didn't hide it from her, and said softly: "Godmother, Brother Liuzi told you and my godfather that I was the girl of the official family, but in fact, I was the eldest girl who served beside the wife of the first-class official family who was raided in Kyoto. The master treated me well before, and gave me the opportunity to learn a lot of skills, and the female celebrity and cooking skills were fine.

In the past, I was at home by myself, and it was not interesting, so I just asked you to take a dowry, red hijab, and handkerchief for me.

Now that I have a huge family, there is no need to hide it anymore, while my young eyes are still good, save more money for myself, and buy a field and a shop in the future. ”

Meng Qigu was surprised again and again when she heard this, and she couldn't help but look at Ran Jia from top to bottom, "Ah, I was panicked by what you said, my godmother really picked up a young lady." ”

Ran Jia sneered: "It's the girl who serves the lady, but we are almost a small family Miss Jiao." ”

"Okay, girl, you have to remember, don't force it, the woman embroidered and ruined her eyes, and when you have no money, don't you still have a godfather and godmother and your brothers and sisters?"

"I know, I will embroider for a while and rest for a while, and I don't work on the oil lamp at night, I will definitely be able to protect my eyes." She doesn't seek to be rich and expensive, and her craftsmanship is good, and a finished product can be sold at a high price, which belongs to one year of opening and eating for three years.

After eating, Ran Jia found the only pen and ink in the house and spread some yellowed paper on the small wooden table. She was a little stunned, thinking of the little six sons in the memory of the original owner, who was no longer than her own waist. Although he was disabled, he was a very good man, and he was very attentive to the original owner, but he tried to do anything that could make her happy and arouse her interest.

This ink, paper inkstone is too ordinary in the eyes of the original owner, but it is already the best that Xiao Liuzi can provide.

She used beautiful hairpins to neatly write down the things that needed to be purchased, needles, threads, fabrics, embroidery sheds, etc., all of which were marked in detail with what material and what color number was needed. After a while, a piece of paper was densely written, she checked it against the memory of the original owner, made sure that there was no omission, and blew it dry and handed it to Meng Qigu, who was waiting with a handkerchief in her hand.

Meng Qigu took it and looked at it for a long time, and praised her for her good words, as beautiful and stylish as her, and praised her so that the peach powder on Ran Jia's fair little face never faded.

Just in the morning, Meng Xinli cut a load of firewood and knocked on the door, Meng Qigu handed over the things to Meng Xinli, and told him carefully. After listening carefully, Meng Xinli walked directly to the entrance of the village, his hand stroking the handkerchief on his chest over and over again, and the roots of his ears were red like boiled river shrimp.

When he left, An Xuning pushed open the door of his house and walked out, his dark eyes looked at the half-old door that was tightly closed, and he pulled the bow and arrow on his body without much movement, and threw a rabbit and pheasant in his hand into the courtyard wall, and strode towards the way up the mountain.

Meng Qigu heard the movement and walked out, and saw the two living creatures in the yard who were tied up and struggling, so she hurriedly pushed open the door, and there was no one in sight.

She sighed lightly and showed the rabbit and pheasant to Ran Jia through the window, "It should have been thrown by An Orion, the two families are so close, he has some fists and feet, and his ears are afraid that he will hear something, and use it to make up for you." ”

In the countryside, there is no pork to sell during the New Year's holidays, so you have to go to the town early.

And most of the pigs were slaughtered in April, which is when the price of pork is high, where are ordinary people willing to buy, let alone hare pheasants.

"I want my godmother to say let's take it, your body is important, it's a big deal to go back and ask Xinli to send him some food. The Ann Orion family had no land, and all the food they ate was bought from the town in bags. ”

Ran Jia nodded, the two are neighbors, it is impossible not to have any contact at all, it is not good to be too deliberate.

She has always had a small appetite and a bad mouth, but now looking at the wild meat that has just grown in the spring, she can't help but instruct Meng Qigu to deal with the few materials at home.

The rabbit was braised with potatoes, and the pheasant was half stir-fried and half boiled with shredded pork porridge.
