Song Ju'an silently picked up the hoe to weed, and saw her standing on the ridge of the field and looking around, so he said to her: "These weeds should be removed quickly, and if there are insects in a few days, the field will be wasted, you go over there, there is less grass over there, and your hands are lighter, don't touch the bean seedlings." ”

Du Ruo let out an 'oh', took a few steps to the side, and began to work.

The sun slowly rose, getting hotter and hotter, Du Ruo couldn't stop wiping his sweat, and after wiping it for a while, the sweat on his face fell down again.

She really realized the noon of hoeing day, sweat dripping into the soil, who knows that the Chinese food on the plate, every grain is hard, this ancient poem is full of the greatness and hardship of the working people!

Song Ju'an didn't say a word to her again this morning, and it didn't seem that he was generally disgusted with her.

However, Du Ruo himself is also preoccupied and has been thinking about things.

When the big sun hung overhead, Du Ruocai followed Song Ju'an back from Beishan.

Walking to the entrance of the village, the cool breeze hit, and the leaves of several big locust trees planted at the head of the village were blown by the wind, which made people feel comfortable.

There was a person sitting cross-legged under the big locust tree, busy with work in his hands, Du Ruo recognized her as Wei Qiao'er, the daughter of the old man Wei in the village, who had died since she was a child, and she was mute.

Wei Qiao'er looked up and saw her and Song Ju'an, smiled at them, and lowered her head again.

Du Ruo walked up to her and took a look, and found that she was sewing clothes, and there was a sewing basket next to her.

When Wei Qiao'er saw her coming, she looked at her nervously, turned her body to the other side, and sat with her back to her, as if she was afraid of Du Shi.

The broken bangs on Du Ruo's forehead were blown up, and the whole person was very comfortable, and when she turned her head to see Song Ju'an's face showing impatience, she waved her hand and said, "An Lang, you go back first!" I'll be back in a hurry! ”

Song Ju'an didn't say anything, raised his feet and left.

Du Ruo sat down next to her, watched her work, and reached out to rummage the contents of her sewing basket, Wei Qiao'er turned around and looked at her nervously, and moved the sewing basket to her side, not wanting her to touch it.

Du Ruo smiled helplessly, closed his eyes and leaned against the tree, and said in his heart, is there anyone in this village who doesn't bother Du Rulan?

After a while, she heard the movement and opened her eyes, and found that Wei Qiaoer was cutting things with scissors in her hand, Du Ruo came up to see it again, and saw that she was cutting embroidery patterns, but her hands were too clumsy, and the scissors were turning around, afraid of cutting bad, so she didn't dare to start.

Du Ruo stretched out his hand to her, "Give it to me, I'll cut it for you!" ”

In modern times, there is an Aunt Xu in the welfare home where she lives, her hands are very skillful, the scissors click, and after a while, she can conjure up all kinds of lifelike gadgets in her hands!

Aunt Xu said that when she was young, she worked in a women's workshop, weaving, embroidery, painting flowers, etc., with the development of the times, everyone's dressing has also changed, and there is no longer a need for those 'old styles' and 'old elements', the workshop can't support it, and the female workers are gone.

Du Ruo always listened to her talk about her youth, admired the things she took out to press the bottom of the box, and sometimes Aunt Xu taught her how to cut paper and how to draw, probably influenced by something, so Du Ruo studied painting in college.

Wei Qiao'er retracted her hand and didn't give it to her, just stared at her with two eyes.

"I don't eat people! What are you afraid of! Come! I'll cut it for you! ”

Wei Qiao'er handed over the things in her hand.

Du Ruo took it and took a few looks, only to find that what she wanted to cut was a pair of mandarin ducks, and if she didn't look carefully, she thought it was two fat water ducks!

After a moment's thought, she decided not to follow the cuts drawn on it, but to revise and revise them, and to imagine a more detailed picture on the paper.

Wei Qiao'er saw that she didn't cut according to the description, so she was anxious and hurriedly reached out to grab it.

Du Ruo stood up with a smile and walked around to the other side of the big locust tree, Wei Qiao'er stood there angrily, looking anxious, but helpless.

When she finished cutting, she walked over and handed it to Wei Qiaoer, Wei Qiaoer took it and looked at it, her eyes were a little wide, she looked at her, and then looked at the embroidery, back and forth several times.

Du Ruo sat down again, she didn't want to go back to the Song family, she would inevitably be scolded when she went back, Granny Cai scolded people too much, even if her right ear went in and out of her left ear, she couldn't stand it.

Wei Qiao'er was still holding the mandarin duck embroidery pattern, Du Ruo looked down at her sewing basket, picked up the scissors again, and said to her: "I'll cut another one for you!" ”

Wei Qiao'er nodded.

Du Ruo thought about it for a while, and felt that she had to draw it, and she didn't have Aunt Xu's kung fu to cut things out of thin air, but she didn't have a pen at hand.

She looked around, her eyes lit up, she stood up and plucked a handful of young leaves from the tree, pasted the leaves on the paper, and drew on the leaves with the end of the needle.

The strength of the hand is not big or small, it is big, the leaves are punctured, and the young leaves are not imprinted.

After drawing, take the leaves on it, and the incomplete phoenix wearing peony pattern appeared on the paper, and the green juice in the young leaves was deep and shallow, but it was okay for Du Ruo.

Wei Qiao'er stared at her movements without blinking, and even forgot to be wary of Du Rulan.

Du Ruo took another half a day to cut this phoenix peony embroidery, took it in her hand and looked at it, a little dissatisfied, if there are conditions, she can probably cut it better.

However, Wei Qiao'er had a smile on her face, a little excited, took the embroidery sample from her hand, looked back and forth, and shyly stretched out her thumb to Du Ruo.

Du Ruowan smiled, stood up and slapped his clothes a few times, "Okay!" It's not a big deal, I have to go home! ”

The thought of going home immediately made me feel bitter.

When he came back from outside, before he entered the door, Du Ruo heard a woman crying at home, and her voice was sad. It seems that Song Yinhua, the second daughter of the Song family, got angry and quarreled with her man again and ran back to her parents' house!

The two daughters of the Song family, the eldest daughter Song Jinhua married the son of the village chief of Dahe Village, she eats well and dresses warmly, she is also spicy and strong, she has never been bullied in her mother-in-law's family, and she can still hold her mother-in-law's family.

And the second daughter Song Yinhua is not so lucky, married to a poor man in Wanshan Village, her man does not work all day, only knows how to be idle, a little money to buy wine, drink and meat to eat, my heart is not happy, and from time to time I beat her to get angry, and the life is miserable.

Du Ruo listened to her crying sadly, and said in her heart, although Song Ju'an hated her, at least he didn't beat her.

Walking into the hall, Du Ruo saw Song Yinhua sitting on a stool with her head down and crying, her mother-in-law Cai, her neighbor Wang Pozi, and Zhao Sanliang's daughter-in-law Qi sat there to persuade her.

Song Ju'an was not at home, so he didn't know what to do.

"You can't just leave it at that! Beat the kids! It hurts to look at me! Mrs. Wang wiped the moist corners of her eyes with her cuffs, and she watched the silver flowers grow up.

Qi Shi stretched out his hand and lifted Song Yinhua's sleeve to take another look, and saw the two whip marks on her arms swollen Lao Gao, and sighed, "The family lives, the man is not doing it properly, and the woman is useless no matter how strong she is!" Yinhua is a hard worker! ”

Seeing Du Ruo come in, they were silent.

Song Yinhua raised her head and called Du Ruo 'Rulan', which was regarded as a greeting.

Cai's heart was not a good taste when he saw his daughter suffering, and he couldn't stop wiping his tears, seeing Du Ruo walking into the door, he was itchy at all, and he thought about the things that Du Rulan did on weekdays.

Cai slapped his thigh and said, "Old woman, I am a poor person in my life!" The daughter suffers, and the old man suffers from illness day by day! It's not like you have a rag at home! Our old Song family doesn't know what they have done to marry the broom star into the door! ”

"Since she entered the door, the Song family has not had a good life! I'm also half-cut into the ground, and I can't even hold a grandson! Miserable! People marry into our Song family to enjoy happiness, what is what my wife said! ”

She wept as she thumped her legs.

Qi and Wang Pozi saw Granny Cai scolding, this Du Rulan was muddy, and Song Ju'an was not at home, in case of quarrel, I was afraid that it would be another chicken, and they hurriedly persuaded Cai's to dissipate their anger.

Du Ruo leaned against the wooden door, looked at her coldly and said herself, and couldn't help but get bored.

"When I came back from the field at noon, I couldn't even drink saliva, so I listened to you scold me! Your daughter blames me for her guilt, isn't she old and confused? ”

Listen to Du Rulan's sentence 'I'm old and confused!' Granny Cai stood up and pointed at Du Ruo, looking desperate with her, she couldn't bear others to say that she was old and confused!

"Cheap hoof, you're going to turn the hell! I'll let An Lang leave you! What do you have to be proud of, go back to your parents' house after taking a break, can you still get married?! Don't look at what your reputation has become! Granny Cai jumped to her feet angrily.

Du Ruo didn't laugh angrily, walked to the water tank, scooped the water with a scoop, lowered his head and drank a few sips, only to feel that it was not so hot, quenched his thirst, and threw the scoop on the table.

She said as she walked towards the West House: "As the saying goes, what pot with what kind of lid, it's your son who is not promising, peeking at me taking a bath and getting dressed, otherwise I can ......"

However, before she finished speaking, she was hit the back, Du Ruo pounced on the door frame with an 'ah', looked back, and found that Cai had just smashed a wooden shuttle for weaving in her direction.

The wooden shuttle was pointed, and Cai's was very hard, Du Ruo's forehead was sweating, and his heart hurt.

Song Yinhua saw that her mother had beaten Du Rulan, she screamed out in fear, and when she saw that Du Rulan's face was pale after being beaten, she covered her mouth in shock. I haven't come back for a while, and I don't want her mother and brother-in-law to make such a fierce fuss!

Du Ruo didn't expect her to beat herself, so she was stunned for a moment, and then walked towards Cai's family, her patience also has a limit!

Qi and Mrs. Wang hurriedly stood up and stood between her and Cai.

Du Ruo was stopped there by them, knowing that these old women had nothing to do, they got together and said bad things about their daughters-in-law and children, and she couldn't get any benefits, so she smiled strangely: "Don't talk and don't talk, it's better to let your son divorce me!" Otherwise, we're not done! ”

As she spoke, she bent over and went into the Westinghouse.

"Mother, how can you hit someone? Du Shi really returned to his parents' house, didn't Andi have to do all the work in the fields? You take care of your dad all day long, can you take care of the family when she is gone? Song Yinhua persuaded Cai's way, and her words were naturally for the good of her mother.

Cai's anger still didn't subside, and the hand that threw the shuttle was still trembling, "You don't care about me!" I don't believe that without her, the old Song family will be over! Ju'an can't please his daughter-in-law anymore! ”
