"Sister-in-law of the Wang family, are you going to the ground?" Lan Yi led the donkey and the two children across the dirt road between the villages, and met a few chatting women on the side of the road.

"Yes, take advantage of the fact that the sun is not poisonous today to pull out a handful of grass in the slopes." Lan Yi replied with a smile, she and the women in the village were all familiar with each other, and they would say hello when they met.

"This uses a rollover to water the slope, not only the bean seedlings are high, but even the grass blades grow well. My baby and his father have not been idle for the past two days, and they have been hoeing the grass. One of the young daughters-in-law, twenty-one or twelve, said with a smile on her face.

"Who's to say it isn't. Su Fang is honest and only goes to the ground alone, so that you are making cool money. My family did the dead, but they dragged me to work in the fields for days! "A chubby woman next to her.

"Sister-in-law Shicai, you are just picky and thin! Brother Shicai didn't pull you to work to finish it early and go to work in the city, my family doesn't have Brother Shicai's craftsmanship, what can I do if I don't grow up in the field? The young daughter-in-law smiled and said to Lan Yi, "Sister-in-law Lin Shan, if you want me to say that you are too, what kind of land do you plant with the two children, and it will be easier to rent it out and wait for the rent to be collected." ”

Lan Yi saw that she was looking at herself, and there was no disdain or joke in her eyes, so she said: "You can still harvest more grain by planting yourself, and I can't be tired of two acres of land, so I can also be busy." ”

"It's not easy for my brother and sister, and I can see that the sun has also darkened in the past few days." Shicai's daughter-in-law sighed, "If Lin Mountain is still there, I don't know how reluctant I am." ”

"......" Lan Yi couldn't deal with it, this person really couldn't chat.

"Shicai, what are you talking about!" Another woman in her thirties next to her took over the conversation, "Even if Lin Shan's family is exposed to the sun, it is much whiter than you." Look at people's small waists, this pick, which is like having a child, living a yellow flower girl, as long as you want to, don't you change hands and find a good family? ”

Hearing her mention remarrying, the rest of the people were silent and looked at Lan Yi.

"Lin Shan's family, look at my mouth! But the aunt is also for your good, this woman still has to have a man to have a good life, right? The woman then spoke, staring at Lan Yi with small eyes, smiling faintly.

Lan Yi couldn't help but roll her eyes secretly, she was too lazy to deal with such a woman, not to mention that she was still carrying a child, this woman's words were a little frivolous.

"I still have work in this field, so I'll go first." Lan Yi pulled the donkey and walked away.

"Aunt Thursday, you have what you said, how can she be a little daughter-in-law." Shicai's daughter-in-law couldn't help but complain about the small-eyed woman.

"What's wrong with that? I don't believe she doesn't want to find a man! Aunt Thursday looked mean, she didn't expect Lan Yi to leave without saying a word, and she felt that she couldn't get up and down.

"Fourth aunt, Lin Yuan's family can tell me that her sister-in-law has recognized her godsister with the eldest girl of the Xia family in the county, and the eldest girl is the wife of the official family, so she is good to her. If people really want to find a man, do they need to find it in our one-third of an acre? Su Fang's daughter-in-law spoke in a shabby tone.

"Mrs. Guan? If there is really such a relationship, can she still go back to our poor place to farm? It's not just to bluff people! Thursday's sister-in-law rolled her eyes and pursed her thin lips.

Shicai's daughter-in-law pulled her: "Aunt Thursday, this is true, when Lin Shan was buried, two or three people came to the Xia family, and two carts were pulled just for things." Besides, don't big families pay attention to widowhood, no matter what, they have to keep it for three years, but it's not like Zheng ** who can't be on the stage. ”

"Don't mention that slut who has no man, two days ago, my fifth child squeezed his eyebrows! With her virtue, I really want to rip her skin! Aunt Thursday spat at the mouth and said fiercely.

"That's the fishy meat that attracts flies!" Su Fang's daughter-in-law also felt disgusted when she mentioned Zheng **, so she quickly changed the topic, "But I can see that there are a few dishonest people in our village who can walk around the courtyard of Lin Shan in the past few days, I'm afraid that I will hold back some bad ideas." ”

"Flies don't bite unstitched eggs! Don't look at this serious look, who knows who really is! Aunt Thursday looked gloating, "Look, there must be a lot of fun." ”

These tongue-chewing gossip could not reach Lan Yi's ears, she led the donkey, Yu'er and the baby sat in the baskets on both sides of the donkey's back, these two children have been eager to sit on the donkey's back since they had a donkey at home. Lan Yi was afraid that they would fall, so she specially bought these two baskets that could be put on the back of a donkey, which were strong and stable, and the two small ones sat on one side and one by one, and liked them very much.

"Mother, what's that flowering?" Yu'er asked, pointing to a field on the side.

Lan Yi followed his fingers and saw large yellow flowers blooming sporadically on the branches, so he said: "This is cotton, after flowering, it will bear fruit, and it can grow white and soft cotton." Our quilt is filled with cotton, which is warm and lightweight. "Lan Yi doesn't know when cotton was introduced to the Central Plains, the Great Zhou Dynasty has begun to plant cotton, but it is not yet common. The cotton plant had not been repaired, and the miscellaneous branches were all growing, and there were not a few flowers hanging on it, which was obviously due to the lack of experience in cotton planting.

"Flowers, flowers." The baby also clapped his little hands to get up and look.

Lan Yi hurriedly held his little arm and asked him to sit down: "Baby, don't move." Yes, it's flowers. ”

"Mother, let's also plant cotton, we can make quilts." Yu'er has been a lot more lively these days and has talked a lot.

"......" Lan Yi couldn't help shaking her arms, she didn't dare to plant cotton, she couldn't handle the cotton bollworm alone, "Yu'er, we're late this year, cotton is going to be planted in spring, and now it's almost autumn." ”

"Oh. Let's plant it next year. Yu'er nodded sensibly.

“…… We'll talk about it next year. Later, my mother will hoe the grass, Yu'er, you take your younger brother to play in the shade of the tree, and watch our donkey, okay? Lan Yi didn't want to lie to the child, so she had to change the topic.

"Good. Yu'er looked at her brother and the donkey. Yu'er crossed her calves and patted her little chest, "Mother, I can also pull weeds." ”

"It's okay, my mother pulls it out by herself, you can't tell which is the bean seedling and which is the grass."

Yu'er frowned: "Mother, Yu'er can tell the difference." Yu'er can tell the difference. ”

"Well, Yu'er is amazing." Lan Yi nodded.

Before she could speak, a person came up from the field and stopped Lan Yi's mother and son seriously: "Ahem, isn't this a brother and sister?" What are you doing with the child on this hot day, you can just say no, and the third brother will do it for you in a circle. ”

This person's name is Zhao Zhongxuan, a typical ruffian, with his chest and shoulders, and he is conscious. Lan Yi had seen him a few times, and he had not been too lazy to take care of him, and at this time, he just bypassed him with a cold face, and sighed in his heart that fortunately, the villagers of Beigou were in good fashion, and there were only two or three such gangsters, otherwise it would be really troublesome.

"Brother and sister, what are you doing here, brother, I am kind." Zhao Zhongxuan put on a smile that he thought was the most reliable and loyal, and followed Lan Yi's side, "There is rain in this wind, and if the grass is not hoeed, a rain will be higher than the bean seedlings." Don't worry, there is a third brother who is ensuring that you can finish today. ”

Lan Yi only thought that he didn't save zài, raised his eyes and shouted, "Second uncle, are you old?" ”

Second Uncle Wang was walking over from the other side with a hoe at this time, staring at Zhao Zhongxuan with a heavy face: "Xuanzi, your father, I haven't passed for a few days, what's the matter, you have itchy skin?" ”

Zhao Zhongxuan was seen by him as empty-hearted, although he was a gangster, he was very afraid of his father's flat burden, and when he heard Second Uncle Wang say this, he hurried up and took the hoe: "Second uncle, how can it, I used to move stones every day when a brother Lin Yuan built a house, and the skin has long been loosened." Are you old this is hoeing to go? Let's go, I'll do it for you. ”

Second Uncle Wang remembered that he did not make much effort to build a house a few days ago, and he couldn't help but sigh at this time: "Choose, you are also the eldest child, why are you still the same as when you were a child?" Do you have to provoke your father to beat you to be honest? ”

"Second uncle, I changed it a long time ago, isn't this thinking about begging my daughter-in-law to live a good life." Zhao Zhongxuan stared at Lan Yi with a grin, eager to carry her back directly to be her daughter-in-law.

Second Uncle Wang's face darkened again, and he secretly said that the bear child really couldn't give him a good face.

"Everyone, you go first. Finish it early and go back early, the child is just right, don't be bored, it is estimated that it will rain this day. Come over to me you bitch! ”

Zhao Zhongxuan is actually not a typical ruffian, but he owes some money, but he is cheap. Although Second Uncle Wang spoke ill of him, the concern in his tone could not be hidden, which means that this person is not bad to the root.

Lan Yi nodded, took the two children to the ground and began to hoe the grass. Since Second Uncle Wang also said that it was going to rain, she had to speed up the progress and remove the grass in the field before the rain.

Although her two acres of land are in the nature of playing tickets, she doesn't want to plant them in a mess.

Lan Yi kept an eye on the two children while hoeing the grass and talked to them, but the work under her hands was not slow. She has been clearing the grass in this field for two days, and she will be able to finish her work in half a day today. She put the purslane into a basket, and the wild vegetable was so delicious that it could be dried and stored until winter.

"Yu'er, my mother pulls out two more ququ vegetables, and we'll go back." Lan Yi fed the two children cold boiled water, and looked at their red little faces and said distressedly.

"Mother, the ququ vegetables are bitter and not delicious." Yu'er wrinkled his bun face, he didn't like Ququ Cai, he didn't dare not eat it before, but now he doesn't want to eat it.

"Good, my mother can make non-bitter ququ dishes, it is delicious to go to the fire, and the small belly can be a lot more comfortable." Lan Yi looked at him with a smile, the scars on Yu'er's body were already very light, and she had grown some flesh, and she looked much healthier, and she dared to express her thoughts at this time, which was a good phenomenon.

The baby walked very steadily at this time, but he still didn't dare to let him walk fast on this uneven hillside. Lan Yi found a wet place on the side of the road, pulled out a handful of koji vegetables and took the two children home. Because the donkey was carrying grass on its back, Lan Yi pulled Yu'er, and the baby sat in the basket as usual.

"Mother, I don't know if our geese have come back from the stream, shall I look for them?" Yu'er walked to the edge of the stream, looked at the cool stream and couldn't help but say.

"I'm definitely going back at this time. Yu'er doesn't want to go into the water alone, let alone go into the water to take a bath, you know? Seeing him like this, Lan Yi lowered her face to warn him. The women in the village all ask for children in this way, but every year children still drown, and the title of water tiger is well deserved.

Yu'er nodded obediently and asked cautiously, "Okay." The second uncle said to teach me and Brother Dafu to drink water, so can I go? ”

Lan Yi nodded, it's a good thing to learn to swim. She used to swim in swimming pools and at the beach, but women were not allowed to swim in the river, let alone teach their children to swim.

"Learn from the second uncle. But you can't go into the water by yourself, and you are not allowed to enter the water without a second uncle. ”

"Got it, mother." Yu'er nodded happily, it would be good if she could learn to swim in the water.

Lan Yi nodded, Yu'er, this kid is really well-behaved and obedient, she doesn't have to worry about it.

When she returned home, she quickly washed the wild vegetables, made wild vegetable noodle soup, and cut the old ginger at home into two slices, ate radish in winter and ginger in summer, and raised her stomach together as a family.
