Can playing Kemari reduce gambling fights? Lan Yi couldn't help but complain in her heart when she heard this, "** and football** are the two stubborn diseases of modern sports, if you teach them by the way, it is estimated that Uncle Zhao will have to shoot himself to death." ”

Chen and Liu are honored, look, this is her sister-in-law. Neither of them had any jealousy, and it seemed that Lan Yi deserved to be praised and praised by others.

Seeing the expressions of the three people, Wu envied their concubines, and then asked, "Brother and sister, I don't know if there are any things that women play with in the book?" ”

Wu, Liu, and Chen were illiterate, and in this rural place, girls were not allowed to enter the school, and only the landlord's family could afford to hire a teacher to let the children study at home, and the daughters could read a few words. The female babies in the countryside ran around like boys when they were young, but the boys could go to school at the age of seven or eight, and the girls helped cook and do needlework at home after the age of seven or eight to save dowry.

Lan Yi is literate and hyphenated, and learning useful things from books makes the women in the village very envious, especially Wu. Wu's mother-in-law is Zhao Lizheng's wife Hua's maiden family is a big family in Huajia Village, Hua also knows a few words, Zhao Lizheng's youngest son Zhao Liang is a talent, his wife Xiaohua and mother-in-law are out of the Hua family, and they only know a lot more words. Wu's maiden family is not solid, so she can't raise her head in front of this big and small Hua family, and always feels inferior, so she comes to Lan Yi's house to talk about family life, at first it was her mother-in-law's instructions, so that she can get closer to Lan Yi, and after a few contacts, she found that Lan Yi's temperament is easy-going, and she is not arrogant in reading and hyphenating, which makes her feel much easier to get along with than Xiaohua, who is also a talented lady in the family.

Lan Yi thought about the games that women like to play, nothing more than playing cards, but she doesn't know that kind of traditional cards, she doesn't plan to introduce playing cards and mahjong, after all, this kind of card games are the easiest to arouse people's interest, and it is also the best way to gamble.

"There's nothing in this book, and I don't know anything for us to play." Lan Yi said regretfully, mahjong is a good thing to kill time, alas!

Chen is doing embroidery work in his hands: "We have to cook, take care of the children, do needlework, what time can we have?" In the winter, the men are idle, and we don't have to do anything except not go to the fields. ”

Liu and Wu nodded in agreement.

"If you want me to say, this winter is cold and cold, and everything is cold, and it is not as comfortable as other times. I don't know what the daughters-in-law of those rich families do, everyone has maids and wives to serve, and their lives are so nourishing. Liu couldn't imagine what it would be like.

Wu listened to Liu's words, and shook his head a little frightened: "That's good, wearing gold and silver, but this bad thing is also indispensable, you have to prevent those little maids from climbing the bed, guarding against the concubines at home, and guarding against the fox spirits outside, it is better to be tired in those days!" Although we are tired now, don't we also have food and drink? ”

Seeing her very clear look, Liu Shi bumped her shoulder with a smile: "Where did you hear this, don't tell me where Brother Liangxiu learned some meat jokes from you." ”

Wu blushed, peeked at Lan Yi and Chen and did not feel disgusted, so he whispered: "The housekeeper of the rich man Zhou came back from the city to pick up this year's new crops and livestock. Guess what? ”

Wu's tone was full of excitement about sharing secrets, and he continued without waiting for the three of them to ask: "It turns out that the lady of the rich man of Zhou in our village, Luo, was originally the little maid of the Zhou family, and she didn't know what kind of fox tricks she used to hook up with the rich man last week and had a child, but she didn't expect to give birth to a son, the rich man of Zhou is now almost fifty, I see that Luo is just about the same as us this year!" ”

Lan Yi has heard of Luo, she is the rich man of Zhou in the village, and she did not live in the city with the rich man of Zhou, but took her son Zhou Xingzu to live in the old house of the Zhou family in the village. The people in the village did not have a good impression of Luo's family, but one-third of the fields in the village belonged to the Zhou family, and many people in the village rented his family's fields to live, so they did not dare to gossip. In addition, Luo himself is also a simple person, so Lan Yi has never met her, Zhou Xingzu is the same age as Yu'er, and he is a little fat man with a smile.

Liu Shi nodded when he heard this: "I heard my father-in-law say that the rich man of Zhou is a few years older than him, and he has to be more than fifty." The son born by Luo is the little fat in the family, right? ”

"Brother and sister, what are you talking nonsense! The child of the Zhou family is called Zhou Xingzu. Seeing that Wu's face was not good, Chen quickly pulled Liu's arm.

Liu looked at Zhao Xiaopang, who was playing with the baby and Niuniu next to him, and then realized that Wu's son was also called Xiaopang, and hurriedly smiled: "It's not, sister-in-law Xiu, look at my mouth!" We don't mean anything else, this Luo clan is so easy to hook up with the rich man last week, why are you willing to come back with the good days in the city? ”

Seeing her say this, Wu continued to speak: "I only listened to it twice, saying that it was because the eldest son of the rich man of Zhou's family couldn't tolerate it that he let Luo come back with the child." The housekeeper said that the rich man of Zhou had already divided the family for his two sons, and the old house in the village was given to the younger son Zhou Xingzu, and some of the family's fields were also given to him, and the rest of the things were given to the eldest son. If you want me to say, although this Luo clan is a widow, at least there are houses and fields, and maids and wives are waiting for them, so you don't have to be a little maid who pours tea and water, no wonder so many maids want to climb the master's bed! ”

Wu finished his summary and looked at the three of them with satisfaction. She was finally able to find an opportunity to say this, except that she didn't dare to be so happy in front of the big and small flowers at home.

"A few of us can do these things if we know about them, but we can't talk about them everywhere." All the people who finish the gossip will add such a sentence, regardless of ancient and modern.

The next Yuan Festival on October 15 is the day when the water officials relieve their misfortunes. The water official is one of the "three officials" said by the Chinese Tao, formed by the spirit of the wind and the essence of the morning hao, the chief master of the water gods, the water official comes to the world every October 15, the school abstains from sin, and eliminates disasters for people. In this scattered place where Lan Yi is located, fasting and sacrificial activities are also held on the day of the water official's relief of misfortune, and this activity is integrated into many agricultural factors. On the evening of the next year's festival, every household will worship the god of water in the field, praying that the god of water will bless the crops in the field to survive the winter.

On October 16, the sixth son knocked on Lan Yi's door and reported the good news that Xia Wan gave birth to a seven-pound baby boy, and the mother and child were safe. Lan Yi was very happy to hear this, she brought the full moon gift that she had prepared a long time ago to Xia Wan and the child, Xia Wan's maiden family must have sent Xia Wan a full moon gift, and these things can be brought over together.

"Madam, the old lady asked me to give you good news, and let me bring some of your sour bamboo shoots over by the way, and I want to send them to the girl to taste. Madame's pickled sour bamboo shoots are delicious, and my father said that they are much more delicious than the bamboo shoots in Fengle Building. Liuzi said with a smile that he had also eaten Lan Yi's sour bamboo shoots, and the taste was really good.

During the Double Ninth Festival, Lan Yi met Xia He, the six girls of the Xia family, in the garden, and Xia Wan's mother-in-law, the Qin family, helped her out of the siege. Lan Yi later asked Liuzi to help her send some sour bamboo shoots to the Qin family to try, but she didn't expect the Qin family to like the taste of sour bamboo shoots very much, and this time she took the initiative to say that she wanted to send some to Xia Wan, it seems that the two tastes of the mother and daughter are relatively similar, which also shows Qin's thoughts about her daughter.

"Liuzi, you wait here, I'll go and put some on for you." Lan Yi turned around and packed three jars of sour bamboo shoots and put them in the yard, two large and one small were packed into a big basket, and the six sons rode horses today, and it was convenient to bring things.

"These two big jars, one can for the old lady, one can you bring over to your girl, and this small jar for the six sons you bring back to your mother to taste. This is the practice of sour bamboo shoots, you bring it to the old lady together, and please help me bring this letter to your girl. ”

"Thank you, ma'am." When the sixth son heard that there was still a gift for his mother, he sincerely thanked him, "Madam, the full moon gift that the old lady prepared for the girl was personally escorted over, and he didn't come back this year ago." I will say goodbye to you today, and the peonies in the field will be entrusted to you and the Wang brothers to take care of. ”

"You can go with confidence, be careful all the way, and remember to say hello to me when you see my sister and Chuncao." Lan Yi specially ordered the spring grass, and the ears of the sixth son were instantly red, he wanted to take advantage of the girl's joy this time and ask his mother to help him marry the spring grass.

Lan Yi saw that the six sons, who were usually very smug, would also have such an embarrassed expression, so she couldn't help but smile and sent him out. Xia Wanshun gave birth to a baby boy, which can be regarded as stabilizing her position as the housewife, Lan Yi is happy for her, for some reason, she thought of the rich man in the village at this time, and when she thought of her identity, she was a little surprised.

She smiled and looked up to see that it was past noon, Yu'er and the baby had not yet returned from the wheat field, remembering that Yu'er said that the adults in the village formed a team to compete today, and the adults in the village came back to participate in the sacrifice during the Xia Yuan Festival.

After Lan Yi cooked the meal, she didn't see the two children come back, and the shouts of the wheat field did not stop, she thought about it and went out to the store, now it's past the meal, Yu'er is okay, the baby should go to bed, he should definitely be sleepy. It's cold now, and if you sleep outside, you're going to catch a cold.

At the edge of the wheat field, Lan Yi was a little dumbfounded, there were many small holes dug in the ground on one side of the wheat field, and a few children were playing dog holes with sticks.

On the other side, there was a large circle of people, men, women and children, all watching the game, and the shouts became louder as they approached.

"Erniu, you are running, if you can't come down, Lao Tzu!"

"Good! Second Brother Wang, grab him and don't let go! ”

"Leather monkey, don't hold the ball and don't let go, hurry up and throw it over!"

“”

Lan Yi went straight to the black line, if it was in the modern arena, it is estimated that the red cards that would have been punished by the referee would have been flying all over the sky, and the audience would have to be punished far away from the stands to interfere with the game!

She searched around but did not see the two children, because she was too short to see the situation inside, so she had to find a nest of women and squeeze in.
