In the countryside, there are often frictions between relatives.

Some people hold grudges and don't speak for years after a fight, and there are those who hold grudges for several lifetimes and don't speak for their children and grandchildren. There are also some people who just don't think it happened after a while, and go about their lives as usual, talking affectionately and passionately, but they don't know what is going on in their hearts.

Although the Niu family threatened Lily to divorce her, firstly, Song Haonian was not at home, and secondly, she didn't dare to really take a break from Lily, not only did she not do anything, but later asked Dong's to send a bowl of stewed meat, saying that "they are all a family, what can't they get by?"

Lily has long had the intention to tear apart from this family, and Song Haonian is the son of the Niu family, and she is the daughter-in-law, there is no suitable reason, that is, everyone knows that the family is a quagmire, and they have to be tied to the quagmire.

Now taking advantage of this scene, the two families just fell out. Although they can't get rid of it completely, they don't have to swallow their anger anymore and ask them to respond to their own homes one by one. It's that the people in the town say everything, some say that Lily is not filial and not virtuous, and quarrels with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law and hold grudges, and some say that Niu's is eccentric and doesn't care for Song Haonian's family, no wonder the son and daughter-in-law are not intimate, everyone has their own life to live, and they don't care what others do, and it doesn't take a few days

And no one said it again.

Wang Xiaofu went to the county town to buy good wound medicine, and he really searched for several things, looking for a reliable doctor to ask for the same usage and dosage, and came back to ask Lamei to try to use it.

On this day, he came and took out a small box from his bosom, and said mysteriously, "There is something good today!"

Lamei has not seen him come back with ointment in the past few days, and when she heard it, she said: "What kind of rare ointment? Now these are enough, and there is no need to run miles." ”

"Pearl, have you seen it?" said Wang Xiaofu with a grin.

Lamei had never seen a pearl when she was so big, but she had heard that this thing was so expensive that only the rich and wealthy could afford it. Yingchun said that the young grandmother of Liufu has a few kinds of pearl jewelry, "Ouch, it's so good-looking!"

Lamei said, "Where did you get such a precious thing?" While leaning up to look, she saw a small pile of powder in the porcelain box, and couldn't help laughing, "Where is this pearl?"

She had never seen a pearl again and knew that it must be round, not the small pile of white powder in front of her.

Wang Xiaofu was afraid that he would blow the powder away by exhaling, so he closed the lid and said, "This is pearl powder." ”

Lamei's eyes widened, she had never even seen a pearl, why would anyone be willing to grind such a good thing into powder? Throwing snow-white steamed buns into a dung pit made people feel so distressed that they couldn't stand it.

Lily also felt strange: "Where did the pearl powder come from?"

Wang Xiaofu said: "I met Master Chen in the city today, he asked me why Brother Da Nian didn't go to the city for a few days, I told him that Brother Da Nian went out to sell goods, he said straight to our foreign road, refused to tell him, pulled me to eat and drink, and talked a lot. ”

"Then you're going to have a drink?" Lamei squinted at Wang Xiaofu, but she knew that the third child of the Song family ate a lot of wine with Chen Bin, and now people are still building embankments on the river.

Wang Xiaofu hurriedly said: "I still have something, where do I dare to eat and drink, but I did it with him for a while and gossip." ”

He continued: "Master Chen asked me what I was doing in the city, and I said that Lamei didn't fall and fell in the face, and I gave her some plasters. ”

In the past few days, the wound on Lamei's face has been slowly healing and scabbing, leaving only a few shallow nail marks, Wang Xiaofu no longer looked for drugs to promote healing, but began to look for scar removal.

Chen Bin asked his concubine Xue Niang to bring a box of pearl powder, "I heard Xue Niang say that this thing can beautify and nourish the skin, and it is the best to remove scars, isn't it?"

The snow lady is as white as a person like snow, even if she is only six or seven points in appearance, she has become ten points against the background of her snow-white skin, Wang Xiaofu only glanced at it and didn't dare to look at it again, and waited for the snow lady to put the pearl powder on the table before she dared to reach out and take it, and thanked Chen Bin for her kindness.

Chen Bin said: "Brother Danian left without saying a word to me, which made me angry." You help me talk to my younger siblings, if you have any difficulties, just come to me, if I can help, I can help, but if I can't, I can come up with ideas, right?"

is called Wang Xiaofu, an eight-sided and exquisite person, said that Chen Bin is also a very enthusiastic and good person, and praised Chen Bin in front of Lily.

After Song Haojie was imprisoned, Lily only felt that there was something wrong with Chen Bin, and if she wanted to say something wrong, this person was very good to her husband, and she couldn't say what was wrong.

I had to hide my thoughts and said with a smile: "As long as the three girls don't cause trouble for me, where is the difficulty for me to ask to go to Master Chen?"

There are only a few people who cause trouble for her every day, she can't control the old Song family, and her own sister has to be beaten.

Lamei stopped: "How can I get into trouble?"

Wang Xiaofu also gave Lamei a help: "Lamei is still young, I can't think of it for a while, don't you have a sister-in-law to teach her." ”

"Okay, no one has married yet, so help my sister deal with me first, you can wait for me to be difficult for you!"

After a few jokes, Wang Xiaofu went home by himself, Lily took the black tiger to the vegetable field and told him to look at the ground, came back and closed the door, and washed with Lamei.

When Lamei thought that the box of powder was ground with pearls, her heart trembled, and she said to Lily, "Sister, how can I use this thing?"

Lily thought for a while: "Eating also makes it, and wiping your face also makes it, why don't you eat a spoonful first to taste the taste?"

Lamei nodded hurriedly, her eyes shining. This pearl costs a lot of silver to get one, and if she wipes her face all of them, she won't hear a single sound, and she still wants to taste it.

The pearl powder actually has no taste, so take half a spoonful of pearl powder from the lily, drop some honey into it and mix it well, so that the plum can be eaten.

After a while, Lamei smacked her lips: "This doesn't smell good!" "It's weird to have a taste." "Seawater pearls often have a hard core, not suitable for grinding into powder, to do pearl powder or freshwater pearls is better, freshwater pearls in Hepu pearls as the top grade, the porcelain box is engraved with two words, Wang Xiaofu and Lamei do not know the words and do not pay attention, the lily can see clearly

Chu Chu is the word "Hepu".

This box of pearl powder alone, I'm afraid it will be worth twenty or thirty taels of silver, Chen Bin and Xue Niang are so generous, pearl powder said to give it away, do you really take Song Haonian as a brother?

There wasn't much in a box of pearl powder, and Lamei ate a spoonful and went down together, so frightened that she didn't dare to eat it anymore, and said to Lily: "Let's wipe my face in the future." ”

From now on, her face is also the one who has enjoyed pearls.

Seeing her beautiful appearance, Lily couldn't help but smile and take an egg from the kitchen, knock the egg white out in Lamei's curious eyes, and put a little pearl powder on it, and carefully applied it to her scar: "This will last a few days." ”

"It's just that you have to crack an egg every time, it's too wasteful. ”

Lamei whispered: "This is a pearl! What is an egg, even if you match it with a whole chicken, you won't lose anything!"

Lily laughed and fell: "Okay, okay, I'll get you a whole chicken with it when I go back." ”

Lamei knew that the eldest sister was joking with her, and puffed out her cheeks angrily, "You're getting worse and worse." ”

Within two days, it was raining in the town, and this year, unlike last year, the new house was spacious and dry, and it didn't leak at all.

The rain washed away the large bluestone slabs in the yard, and the vines with lilies in the corners of the walls absorbed the water, and they grew so vigorously that they had to build shelves.

There is a begonia flower tree planted in front of the shadow wall, which is the flower seedling that the lily lady has distributed from the Liu family, and on the day of flowering, the layers of petals take advantage of the white wall and blue bricks, which is beautiful. Now the petals are withering and the leaves are full of life.

Aoyagi Town's habit is not to plant peach trees in front of and behind the house, saying that peach trees can ward off evil spirits, but peach trees agree to lead evil spirits to destroy the feng shui of the home. Lily didn't know if this was the custom elsewhere, so instead of transplanting a peach tree to her home according to the town's custom, she planted a pomegranate on the other side of the begonia flower.

At that time, Song Haonian was very happy, and said with a smile: "The pomegranate means good, and in the future, our family will be full of children and grandchildren, all of which are due to it." ”

These days, the buds of the pomegranate tree slowly bulge and bloom reddish at the top, and they will bloom when a few heavy rains have passed and there are good days.

Lamei recuperated at home, did not go to the store, every day carried a wooden barrel to the pigs in the thatched house to pour food, by the way to feed the chickens and ducks, came back to Lily and said: "Fortunately, the road was paved with stones, I walked these times, but my pants and shoes were wet, and there was no mud at all!"

There is Lamei to watch the house, there is nothing to worry about at home, Lily has to take an umbrella to go to the tofu shop every day, because the road is slippery, several times almost fell into the mud.

The countrymen are not helpless against this situation, some people tie hemp rope to the soles of their shoes, and wrap them around and around them, although the hemp rope absorbs water, so that the bad people will not fall.

Inspired to go to Liu Sanping's house to find the carpenter Daddy Liu, and beg him to make a pair of shoes with wooden soles.

Daddy Liu said: "A few years ago, Master Liu asked me to do it, what is the name of Xie Gongdi, is this it?"

Lily laughed when he heard this, "Exactly!"

Legend of Xie Gong's clogs is Xie Lingyun's invention, with the teeth on the front foot facing backwards and the back feet facing forward, which can be worn to climb the mountain, let alone walk in rainy days.

Lily put Xie Gong's clogs on the outside of her cloth shoes, walked slowly and carefully, and never fell again. After getting used to walking fast in the rain, Wen Wa's father is such a big man and can't catch up with her.

When I went home and took off my shoes, the cloth shoes were still clean. Lamei looks fun, and she also needs a pair. Lily not only ordered a pair of wooden shoes for Lamei, but also gave Wenwa's father and mother a pair: "You two also have to go all the way to do work, but you can't fall." ”

Xing'er is more playful, and she is also making trouble, Li Caifeng has no way, and asks Daddy Liu to carve a pair of small shoes with the lightest wood: "You can walk carefully, beware of knocking your teeth!" Liu Sanping has just been married this year, and he has not yet married, Daddy Liu is looking forward to his grandchildren and granddaughters' eyes are green, and he is riveting enough to carve Xing'er on the upper of his shoes, "When your Uncle Sanping comes back, Xing'er has to help me urge him to get married and give birth to a brother and sister."

Son to you. ”

The people around Lily all put on wooden shoes, and many people in the town looked good, and they all went to find Daddy Liu, which brought him a lot of good business. Only Yingchun didn't get it, it was because she was working in Liufu, and she didn't need it, and the second is that Liufu also treated Xie Gongyi as a literati and wild interest, and no one else had it, Yingchun served the little young master in the courtyard of Master Liu, so that he could see that it was not beautiful.
