Chapter 40: Sixteen Years Old (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
"Dumb girl, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Sanchun, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, saw the dumb girl crying, and panicked so much that the six gods had no master. After a while, she reacted and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
I'm fine.
The dumb lady gestured, and she was just relieved.
The baby who was in swaddling clothes has grown up and knows how to care about people. Right now, as long as you marry her smoothly, you will have completed the task.
However, as soon as she thought of getting married, the two could no longer be the same as now, and the dumb girl was reluctant from the bottom of her heart. The mother and daughter have been dependent on each other for more than ten years, and the relationship between them exceeds that of ordinary mothers and daughters.
In fact, the dumb lady felt guilty in her heart, every time she saw Xu Sanchun regard her as a real mother, she was happy and ashamed. Therefore, she will never allow Xu Sanchun to call her mother.
At this moment, her mood can be described as quite complicated.
Xu Sanchun couldn't understand her, but as long as she was fine, it would be fine.
On the second day, the Xu family was too busy to take care of themselves and ignored the two of them. The dumb lady was busy all day, steaming pumpkin cake and kneading dough, just to celebrate Xu Sanchun's sixteenth birthday.
This birthday, also known as Helu in the Great Shang Dynasty, means that the girl has grown up. You can get married, you must participate in the embroidery exam, and you can also stand on your own as a woman, and you are no longer a child.
"Dumb girl, don't be busy, let me come." Xu Sanchun saw her busy and persuaded her.
The dumb lady looked at her with a smile and waved her hand to show that she didn't care.
She took Xu Sanchun's hand and gestured, "In big places, women have to hold a ceremony, this is a major event that only happens once in a lifetime." Dumb lady doesn't have that ability, I'm sorry for you. ”
"Dumb girl, don't say that, Sanchun is better than anything else with you taking care of you." Xu Sanchun said what he said from his heart. If it weren't for the dumb girl, she would have come to this unfamiliar place and wouldn't know how to gain a foothold.
The dumb lady may not be able to do anything, but she puts Xu Sanchun first in everything and has become the strongest pillar in Xu Sanchun's heart. Because of her, Xu Sanchun has the courage to struggle here.
Xu Jinshui asked people to come to Nanfeng Town and asked the doctor to come back. This doctor's medical skills are better than those of Lang Zhong in the village, but he is also helpless.
The Xu family is a gloomy fog.
This night, the dumb lady and Xu Sanchun rested early. Before the rooster crowed, the dumb lady got up lightly and touched the kitchen to light a candle.
It's still early, and Aunt Chen hasn't come to work yet. The dumb lady took out the dough prepared in advance, steamed the steamed buns, and made noodles.
When she returned to the house with steaming noodles, Xu Sanchun had already woken up.
"Dumb girl, you won't sleep a little longer." Xu Sanchun rubbed his eyes.
The dumb lady put the bowl on the table with a smile and gestured, "Wash your face and eat longevity noodles." ”
"Wow, it smells so good!"
Xu Sanchun smelled the fragrance, quickly washed up, and sat down at the table.
"Dumb girl, let's eat together."
"Silly boy, this is your longevity, and it's not my birthday."
The dumb lady's craftsmanship is quite good, the whole bowl of noodles is composed of a thin and long noodle, and if you don't look closely, you can't tell that there is only one in this bowl.
The noodle soup is filled with brine, a few small green cabbage leaves, and a golden fried egg sprinkled with green green onions. What's even more rare is that there are several slices of braised pork in it, and the smell alone makes people salivate.
"Then I'll go!" Xu Sanchun raised his chopsticks.
This is the most satisfying meal she has eaten since she came here, and it is so delicious!
The Xu family treats the two of them harshly, and they are either steamed porridge or corn paste all day long, and the vegetables are all old leaves left for them to eat, and they often can't chew them.
Eggs, meat, and rice are all rare items.
Xu Sanchun was taken aback in one go, and was a little worried, "Dumb girl, how did you do it?" Wang, she won't trouble you. ”
"It's your birthday, it's the biggest." The dumb lady reassured her.
Sixteen years old is the most important birthday for a woman. No matter how dissatisfied she is with Wang's family, she will only turn a blind eye today, otherwise it will only make people accuse her of overexploiting it.
After eating the noodles, the dumb lady took out a begonia flower silver hairpin and asked Xu Sanchun to sit in front of the window.
There was no makeup mirror here, so Xu Sanchun raised the mirror that Xu Lan asked for last time and watched the dumb girl comb her hair for herself.
The wooden comb brushed her long soft black hair again, and the dumb lady looked focused and skillful.
She skillfully divided Xu Sanchun's hair into two parts, tied it into a bun on the top of her head, and then tied the rest of her hair together and tied it with a red ribbon.
Finally, insert the silver hairpin into the bun.
Combed the hair bun of the woman to be married, and wore a silver hairpin for the first time, Xu Sanchun in the mirror suddenly looked much more mature.
I saw that her face was like a peach and plum, and her eyes seemed to be filled with a pool of spring water. The water chestnut mouth glows with a delicate sheen, and the pointed chin seems to tell her vulnerability.
Xu Sanchun sighed in his heart.
Even now, she still can't get used to this troublesome face. She doesn't like to look in the mirror on weekdays, just so that she can forget this face.
However, facts are facts, and there is no escaping them.
Such a look, coupled with her bumpy figure, how could it not make those men think about it. Xu Sanchun didn't understand, she was also sixteen years old, how she developed so well, and she was already a very mature body.
In this way, no matter how much she sits upright, she will inevitably have right and wrong. She never underestimated the hostility of the same sex, and most of the rumors about her being an illegitimate child came from jealous women.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
Old man Jin Yong, you didn't lie to me, this sentence is really not wrong.
Xu Sanchun's mood, the dumb lady didn't know, she was full of excitement at the moment. Looking at Xu Sanchun, she seemed to see the charm of the old man.
The sun was rising, and the rays were shining on them. The two of them sat and stood, the people sitting were as delicate as flowers, and the people standing still had the style of the year. The atmosphere of the room is quiet and warm.
But in the next breath, this beautiful atmosphere was shattered.
The door "Bang!" The ground was pushed away, Wang came in with a tiger face, glanced at the room, and finally stopped on the silver hairpin on Xu Sanchun's head.
"Yo, you're having a good day. Eating noodles and wearing jewelry again, developed? ”
The dumb lady stepped forward, stopped Xu Sanchun, and gestured: "Today is Sanchun's sixteenth birthday." ”
"I know, otherwise how could I come?" Wang's yin and yang are weird.
Early in the morning, she went to feed Xu Tianyou to drink medicine, and when she arrived in the kitchen, she smelled the aroma of meat, and when she rummaged through it, she knew that it was the dumb lady who beat the eggs and cut the braised meat.
Sixteen is a big day, and she shouldn't have cared about it. However, recently she has been really unlucky, and if she doesn't vent her resentment, she feels that she is about to be suffocated to death.
She is unlucky, and she can't see others better than her.
What's more, it's the dumb mother and daughter who are close at hand and are used to being oppressed by her?
