Chapter 44: Don't provoke
On this day, Xin'er was about to go to the village to play with her friends, and accidentally saw the gate of the Feng family next to her open.
This is rare, usually their families are closed, but today it is open, she is a little curious.
Stopped for a while and stood not far from Feng's house to look inside, but she didn't see anything at this look, because a wall inside blocked all vision, and she didn't know that it was called the Shadow Wall until later.
Feeling bored for a while, she ran all the way to the village.
During this time, she was the only one who went out to play, and as for her brother, it was really a poor baby, who was caught by his father to learn carpentry from him at a young age.
There is no school in Wanshan Village, let alone let the children in the family go to study, and this study is also a money-burning thing, and ordinary people can't afford it.
Therefore, the people in the village basically dig in the soil for food.
It is not easy to learn a skill, just like Erlin spent a lot of effort and money in order to learn carpentry, and even he himself did not know how much hardship he had to have his current skills.
Naturally, he didn't want to waste this skill, and Youyi, as his son, naturally had to learn from him.
Now Youyi is still young, his hands-on ability is not good, and the adults in the family are not at ease, but it is still no problem to watch and learn from the sidelines.
No, as soon as the autumn harvest passed, he was caught by his father and watched it.
Erlin can read a few words, after all, as a carpenter, he also needs to use some occasionally.
Erlin has never read a book, this is certain, and it can even be said that the people in Wanshan Village have basically never read, let alone be literate, and the words that Erlin knows are still learned from the master when he went to learn carpentry.
Youyi not only followed his father to learn carpentry, but also followed his father to learn words, although there are few, but it is better than nothing.
When Xin'er came home from the village, she saw Feng Yu'an again, and Feng Yu'an turned around and went back when she saw Xin'er.
Xin'er was about to go up and talk to him, but seeing her pouting like this, what's the big deal, if she doesn't say it, she won't say it, and she will go back in a huff.
But she really likes this little brother, he is too good-looking, she has never seen such a good-looking person.
When she went back, she couldn't help but mention this person to her mother again.
"Mother, I saw that good-looking little brother again today, I saw him enter that big house, is he our neighbor? Why haven't I seen him much before? ”
I was a little puzzled.
"Is that the brother you were talking about earlier?" Wang asked uncertainly.
"That's right, mother, let me tell you that little brother is really good-looking, white and tender, just like an egg, but it's good-looking."
"Did you say he went into the big house next door?"
"That's right."
"Mother, why do you ask so many questions?"
……
Looking at the innocent girl in front of her, Wang was a little helpless, but she didn't know how to tell her.
Although the people of the Feng family next door have not seen many people in the village, everyone in the village knows that it is a big family.
Not to mention the rest, at first glance, the house is not something that ordinary people can repair, and such a large blue brick and tile house is almost used up with the acre of land bought in the village.
They hadn't seen much of the children of big families, but as far as they had heard, it wasn't good news, and it wasn't something they could provoke.
But how can she say these words to her daughter, it is difficult to tell her: Ah, girl, that child is not good, you don't play with him.
As the saying goes, it's better to have one more friend than one more enemy, let alone someone like that.
"It's okay, my mother just asks."
"Oh."
"Xin'er, you don't mess with people, you know?"
In the end, Wang still didn't feel at ease and said.
"I didn't mess with him." When I heard this, I said.
Indeed, she didn't mess with him, and she didn't care about her if she wanted to mess with others.
"Well, you remember my mother's words."
"I see, mother."
Most of the time, the heart is still obedient.
"By the way, mother, when will you teach me embroidery."
After a while, Xin'er suddenly asked her mother.
When she went to play with her friends today, she heard that her aunt had already taught her how to needlework, and that Cousin Xiaoyue was more than five years old this year, and she would be six years old after the New Year, and she was also more than four years old, and she didn't know when her mother would teach her.
Xin'er sometimes has a little comparison in her heart, she thinks: Cousin Xiaoyue has learned needlework, she has to learn it too, otherwise Cousin Xiaoyue will not be able to play together when the time comes.
Moreover, she sometimes sees that the flowers embroidered by her mother are beautiful, and she can still make money, and she also wants to earn money to buy delicious food.
"Do you want to learn embroidery?"
Wang was really surprised, how old is this child, and he wants to learn embroidery.
"Well, today Cousin Xiaoyue said that she has started to learn, I also want to learn, I see that the things embroidered by my mother are beautiful, and I also want to embroider such beautiful flowers.
Moreover, embroidery can also be exchanged for money, and if you have money, you can buy delicious food, I want to buy sugar gourds, buy peach slice cakes. ”
It sounded decent in front, but the more back she listened to Wang, she couldn't help but sigh, this is not less than what she eats, why is it so delicious.
Wang is still a little distressed in his heart, he used to have money in his hand when he didn't split up, and he could buy some food for his children from time to time, but now he has no money in his hand after he gets up the house, and he has less things to buy for his children, so it's no wonder that Xin'er wants to eat so much.
"I want to eat sugar gourd, will my mother ask your father to go to the town to buy it for you in a few days?"
"Really, mother?" Xin'er was pleasantly surprised.
"yes, really."
The Wang family became more and more sad when they saw it, because they had no ability to owe the child.
Xin'er didn't think about it so much, thinking about the taste of sugar gourd, she couldn't help but salivate in her mouth.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Suddenly seeing tears in her mother's eyes, Xin'er couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"Mother is fine, the wind blows her eyes."
Wang hurriedly lowered his head to wipe the tears from his eyes, and then raised his head.
"It's okay, by the way, mother, you haven't said when you will teach me embroidery?"
"I really want to learn?"
"yes, really."
"Wait for next year, next year Xin'er will be five years old, and my mother will teach you."
"Ah, so long!"
Xin'er is a little unacceptable, and it will take a year for her to be five years old, and Cousin Xiaoyue must have learned it by then.
She still doesn't know the pain of learning needlework, and she doesn't think about it so much.
"You're too long, so how long are you not too long?"
Wang looked at her innocent expression and couldn't help but ask.
"Now? Or tomorrow? ”
“……”
Wang doesn't want to talk anymore, this kid really wants to play one by one.
"It's over the New Year, and my mother will teach you after the New Year."
There is still a month left for the New Year, and it doesn't seem to be a long time, so I agreed sullenly, after all, it was already a long time ago.
The mother and daughter were almost done, so they went to see their father and they were doing their work.
Wang, who looked at his daughter in shock, shook his head and continued the work in his hand.
