Chapter 984: Famine, Natural Disasters 141

A good night's sleep.

Stepping out of the wooden shed in the early morning, the dew stained the wooden shed, and the grass and trees were rendered with a layer of verdant; Take a deep breath, the air is fresh, exhale a breath of turbidity, and the mood becomes better.

"What are you doing standing at the door, hurry up and let go." Chen Daya in the wooden shed was in a hurry to go out to cook, but as a result, her daughter blocked the door and did not move, making her anxious.

Mingyi:.

Smack, the years are quiet!

Silently let go, don't let my mother scold early in the morning.

"What are you doing at the door early in the morning?" Walking out of the wooden shed, Chen Daya stroked her freshly combed hair and looked down at her daughter, "You have to take care of your hair, my mother has to cook." ”

Mingyi smiled and squinted, "Okay, comb it yourself." ”

Chen Daya hurried away.

As soon as she left, Cheng Yuanxi followed; Cheng Yuanxi, who came out, was neatly dressed, and his hair was also recombed.

"Yiyi, you and your brother are looking for water to wash; Dad went to help your mother cook, and it happened that he came back with meat last night to give him a good meal. ”

Cheng Yuanxi walked hurriedly, crossed Mingyi and walked directly.

Mingyi returned to the wooden shed, but saw that her brother had already taken the towel they needed and was turning around.

"Brother."

"I've got the towel for you, and the cup is there, let's go to the river and wash up." Cheng Mingli spoke, motioning for her to follow.

Mingyi only had time to pick up the wooden comb, but she had no choice but to follow her brother's pace to reach the river.

At this time, many people came to the river, all of them who got up in the morning to wash.

"Sister, let's go ahead." Cheng Mingli pulled Mingyi upstream.

Mingyi obediently followed, stopping at the top of the crowd to find a place with many stones; The towels and bamboo cups were put away, and Cheng Mingli turned around and took the wooden comb in her hand.

"Brother combs your hair."

"No need brother, I'll just comb it twice." My hair is still dirty and messy, and I don't have the heart to take care of it; Just prick it casually, and it's not too late to take a shower and wash your hair after you're busy today, and then pay attention to it.

Cheng Mingli asked uncertainly: "I really don't need my brother's help?" ”

"No, brother, go wash up, and come back to comb your hair when you're done." Take back the wooden comb and sit on the stone, loosen your hair and slowly straighten it.

After combing, tie it into a ponytail and coil it again.

Very modern hairstyle.

Mingyi walked to the stream and squatted down to take a look at her hairstyle.

It's okay, it's neat, it's necessary to do the job.

"Sister, do you have your hair combed like this?" Cheng Mingli looked at her puzzled.

Mingyi turned her head to look at him, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is it not good?" ”

"Why don't you let me comb it for you? My brother has less hair in a bun." Luckily, it's slightly better than you.

Cheng Mingli's eyes were quite obvious, Mingyi snorted lightly, and threw the wooden comb to him, "I'm like this, my hair is dirty and uncomfortable; Wait until I've washed my hair and then ask my brother to take care of it for me. ”

In ancient times, little girls had few hairstyles, but they were also exquisite.

It's not that she doesn't know how to comb, it's that she doesn't want to; Some simple hairstyles are still fine, and if she wants to dress up, she can do it.

"Okay, after today's busy work, my brother will boil water for you, so that you can wash well." With a conniving smile, Cheng Mingli put away the towel and put it on the stone; A wooden comb combs the hair into a simple bun and holds it in place with a wooden hairpin.

Mingyi quickly washed up and followed him home.

Mom and Dad are cooking, and everyone else is working; Mingyi looked around, but she didn't see Cheng Mingyue, she hadn't dealt with Cheng Mingyue seriously for several months.

"What is my sister looking at?" After drying the towel and putting the things back to his sister, Cheng Mingli saw that her eyes kept patrolling back and forth.

Mingyi shook her head, "It's okay, brother, where are your books?" Take two copies out and flip through them; After settling down, my brother has to think about enrollment, and I haven't been quiet for a long time to read. ”

"Okay."

Cheng Mingli went back to the wooden shed to find his few remaining books, Mengxue was not suitable for them to read; However, the books sent by the prince before were worth pondering repeatedly, so he took two out of the house.

The brother and sister leaned together to flip through the book, read the book quietly, and were not disturbed by external objects, which became a unique landscape.

Cheng Dazhu walked out of the wooden shed and saw this scene, his eyes were relieved, and he touched his beard and nodded repeatedly.

With a place to stay, he had to think about his grandson's enrollment.

"What are you looking at?" Luo Cuihua walked out and glanced at him suspiciously.

"It's nothing, give me something, I'll go wash up."

Cheng Dazhu stretched out his hand, Luo Cuihua handed over his share, Cheng Dazhu took it and turned around and went to the river.

Luo Cuihua stared at his back for a while, and was inexplicable about the gap between him and before, so she could only shake her head and follow to the river; On the way, I saw Mingyi and Mingli leaning together, holding a book in their hands and flipping through it.

suddenly remembered Cheng Dazhu's abnormality, and secretly scolded a dead old man.

What can't be said about the little grandson's reading, hidden and tucked.

The family was busy, Cheng Dazhu came back from washing, put his things and found a place to sit down and wait for the meal; By the way, bask in the first rays of sunshine in the morning, the sun is not too warm at this time, but cool.

Even so, it is a rare peace.

For those who have fled the famine for half a year, tranquility is their favorite at the moment.

"The morning food is ready!"

Luo Cuihua shouted, and other families were shouting one after another.

As soon as the woman in charge of the house shouted, the family gathered around the table and waited; The ladies served the prepared morning food, and Luo Cuihua shared the food.

Boiled wild vegetable porridge is a bowl per person, not much; One boiled potato per person, without salt; The whole lamb and steak were divided into pieces.

Eighteen people, one roasted whole lamb was divided into a piece the size of an adult's palm, and even the leg of the lamb was cut open before it was evenly divided.

The steak was less than eighteen people, and those who had eaten it late consciously gave up the plan to divide the steak.

Eat the morning food safely.

Mingyi and Mingli brothers and sisters looked at each other, touched their little bellies, and those who didn't eat enough were silently sad.

"Brother, take the book and go up the mountain, let's look for food."

The adults have something to do, and yesterday they got a sum of money, and the men discussed how to build a house; If you build a better house, it will cost more than 300 taels.

The specifications are better, five hundred taels are a bit hanging.

The key is that the house is large, with three rooms to live in, plus the old two, it is considered a four-room person; There must be at least four yards, otherwise it will be difficult to divide the family in the future.

In addition, these silvers were obtained by Cheng Mingyi's brothers and sisters, and Cheng Dazhu was in trouble for a while.

The youngest grandson and the youngest granddaughter are young, and he is pleased to earn so much silver; But with so much money spent on the construction of the house, he felt that he had lost both of them.

I couldn't make up my mind for a while.

Seeing this, Luo Cuihua couldn't help but say more, "There is not much money in the family, and it is estimated that the house will be five hundred taels; The third child took another 100 taels and handed them over to the public, and the remaining 400 taels were given to Mingyi and Mingli, and 200 taels per person. ”

"With two hundred taels of silver, Mingli has silver for studying, and Mingyi's dowry in the future is also available; Do you have any comments? The last sentence is to ask Cheng Yuandong and Cheng Yuannan, as well as Cheng Mingyi's brothers.
