Chapter 9: The First Time Someone Waited
One of Xiao Yue's two concubines is chaotic when something happens, and the other is hiding needles in the cotton, how can Xiao Yue do what they want.
She pretended to be reluctant and said: "Mother, since the sister-in-law and the third brother and sister have said so, then I can only agree, but you also know that there are people looking for my father to make furniture everywhere, in case someone asks my father to tell the truth, don't worry about it!" ”
Wu thought about it, the father of the second daughter-in-law walked the streets, in case he said everywhere that his family was not going to have a bad reputation, and if he really let the second daughter-in-law do the housework alone, her father would definitely have to stand up for his daughter.
When Lin heard Xiao Yue say this, looking at Wu's face, she knew that something had probably changed today, so she was smart and stopped talking.
Li Shi was a brainless person, she squinted at Xiao Yue and said, "Yo, look at what the second brother and sister said, your father will go out and talk nonsense about the reputation of our Yang family." ”
Xiao Yue looked at Li and said, "Isn't it a child's thing for people of my father's age to talk together!" Besides, if I am the only one in the family to work, how can my father talk nonsense, it is obviously telling the truth, as for what others think, who can guarantee this. ”
Hearing this, Wu Shi made a decision directly, "Okay, okay, it's all said, one person does it for a day." Then he hurried everyone to work.
In fact, no one in Linshui Village knows that the Wu family takes Yang Changfa as a son, and the Wu family has been talked about a lot, but this is a matter of their own family, so the people in the village just talk about sympathy behind their backs.
The Li family and the Lin family also glared at Xiao Yue before leaving, and Xiao Yue didn't care at all.
Old man Yang went to the field with Yang Changgui and Yang Changfa, Yang Changfu went back to the house to read, Li went to the kitchen to clean up, Lin went back to the house, and Xiao Yue also returned to the house.
Xiao Yue packed up all Yang Changfa's previous clothes, and the set of bedding that Yang Changfa used before was dismantled by her, and the inside and surface of the quilt had to be washed well. The sun in August is very dry, and she also takes out the cotton to dry, and the bedding is not long to buy, and the cotton is relatively new, and the cotton is still similar to new when it is dried in the sun.
After cleaning up, she took the basin to the river to wash clothes, there was no industrial pollution in ancient times, and the river water was very clear. When I arrived at the river, there were also a few people from the same village who were washing clothes, Xiao Yue was originally from this village, so these people also knew each other well, chatting and washing clothes, and Xiao Yue, as a bride, couldn't help but be teased by everyone, for people who have mixed in modern society, Xiao Yue can completely cope with it.
There is no laundry detergent that everyone wants, Xiao Yue didn't find it in the Yang family, so she went back to the Xiao family to find the Zheng family and asked for some, she didn't want to go to the Wu family for such a thing, and because of the morning incident, the Li family and the Lin family both hated themselves, and now I went to ask them, maybe I had to listen to them a few crooked words.
When he returned from washing, Yang Changfa had already returned from the field. He saw that Xiao Yue had gone to wash the clothes, so he quickly helped bring the basin to the place where the clothes were dried.
Xiao Yue asked: "Changfa, have you been to the field to see, how are the crops?" ”
Yang Changfa smiled and said: "The crops in the field are very good, and this year is a bumper harvest year. “
Xiao Yue nodded, the people in Linshui Village are all shaving in the field, and they all focus on the crops all year round, and it will be good to live with a good harvest, otherwise they will be hungry.
The autumn harvest will be in a few days, and the farm tools will be checked and sorted out at home in the past few days, and Yang Changfa will also go into the mountains before he is busy farming, and he needs to hunt some prey to eat when the farm is busy.
Farming is a great effort, especially now that there is no machinery and all rely on manpower, adults and children have to shed their skins after farming.
Therefore, when the farm is busy, every family must have a little meat, and it is also three meals a day, so as to ensure that there is enough strength to work, and when the weather is good, the food will be quickly taken back to the house.
The money of the Yang family is in the hands of the Wu family, and the meat is not to be thought about at all, usually Yang Changfa goes to the mountains to hunt and occasionally gives the family a tooth sacrifice.
Yang Changfa thought that this was about to be busy farming, and his daughter-in-law would definitely have to go to the field at that time, and according to his mother's character, he would definitely not buy meat, so his daughter-in-law would not lose a lot of weight, so he decided to go into the mountains.
The next day it was Xiao Yue cooking, she prepared dry food for Yang Changfa, and Yang Changfa went into the mountain with his bow and arrows.
When it was time to eat, Wu asked Xiao Yue, "Second brother, the food I brought you today is not the same as the food you cooked, did you eat it secretly?" ”
The Yang family's food is all managed by the Wu family, and every time they cook, they take some out, and every time the rice is served on the table, the Wu family looks at it first to prevent the daughter-in-law who cooks from eating it secretly.
"Mother, how could I steal food, today Changfa entered the mountain, I made him some dry food."
"Oh, really? The second child has entered the mountain? Xiao Yue rolled her eyes in her heart, everyone in the family was there during the meal, and the Wu family didn't find out that Yang Changfa was not there, and they really ignored this son.
"Well, I left in the morning, saying that I would be busy with farming right away, so I went into the mountains to see if I could get some things, and I would make up for my family when I was busy farming."
"Well, when the farm is busy, be diligent, if anyone dares to be lazy to see how I clean up." As she spoke, she glanced at Xiao Yue, who understood that she was saying this to herself.
After eating, Xiao Yue cleaned up the kitchen and went back to the house, she was going to combine the futon before Yang Changfa into a mattress, her own marriage had a quilt, and the futon she bought was also relatively thin, it was estimated that Yang Changfa didn't have much money at that time, so the futon she bought was not good, so she made it into a mattress and spread it underneath.
She used the original quilt to make the mattress, then slowly flipped the dried cotton, and then spread the original mattress surface on it, and slowly sewed it on the kang alone, and it took an hour to make the mattress.
The needlework of the original body was not bad, she was born by hand when she first started, and the feeling came out when she was doing it, and she put the finished mattress in the box at the tip of the kang.
Later, he mended all Yang Changfa's clothes, only to find that Yang Changfa only had a single coat, and there was no thicker cotton jacket, I really don't know how he spent last winter, but now there is no cotton and I can't do it, so I can only wait to buy cotton to make cotton jackets.
In the afternoon, she made dinner again, Yang Changfa has not come back, she brought the food left for him back to the house, lying on the kang alone and not sleepy, the habit is really terrible, she has always been single in her previous life, and she has only been here for a few days to get used to having a person next to her.
When she was in a daze, she heard movement in the house, she immediately woke up and saw that it was Yang Changfa, "Did I disturb you?" Yang Changfa was undressing, and when he saw Xiao Yue waking up, he asked.
"No, I won't be able to sleep well if you don't come back."
"Really?" Yang Changfa didn't expect his daughter-in-law to say this, his heart was warm, and someone was waiting for him when he came back from hunting for the first time.
Hearing Yang Chang's laughter, Xiao Yue realized what she said, but this was her own man, she felt that her worries should let him know, and the communication between husband and wife was also very important.
Xiao Yue got off the kang and brought out the rice left for Yang Changfa, and the weather was still hot now, so he wouldn't feel cold. "I'm hungry, come over and eat."
