Chapter 12: Heart-to-Heart
After getting up every morning, Ye Fan had to feed the chickens and sweep the pigsty and chicken manure, and also served a small vegetable patch behind the house where she and Mu Yichen lived, and then went up the mountain to cut pigweed.
Every day Ye Fan was busy with his feet not touching the ground, and after coming back, the people in the house went down to the field to work again, but every day Mu Yichen waited for Ye Fan to come back and eat together, which made Ye Fan feel a little inexplicably moved!
Does this count as sharing weal and thin? Help each other in time of need with what little we have?
It may be that seeing that Ye Fan is honest, the old Mu family does not blatantly deduct Ye Fan's meals, every meal is a clear porridge with clear soup and little water, and Ye Fan is slowly getting used to it.
In just half a month, Ye Fan has not only lost weight, but she is also darker than when she first came, but Ye Fan found that her body was no longer as panting as she had been at the beginning.
Ye Fan is very satisfied, but the amount of activity is large, and the daily porridge can no longer satisfy Ye Fan's appetite, plus Mu Yichen, a man who also eats a little bit of food every day, his body is getting thinner and thinner, and he has not been exposed to the sun in the house for a long time, his skin is as white as jade, and he looks a little fragile.
Ye Fan sometimes saw Mu Yichen like this, and he was afraid that he would be blown away by the wind!
For this reason, Ye Fan slowly began to go deeper and deeper into the forest to find some wild fruits, put them in the pigweed and brought them back, and hid them in the house so that the two of them could fill their stomachs.
After finishing his work during the day, Ye Fan returned to the room with a sore back, and saw Mu Yichen still holding the same book in his hand and looking at it under the oil lamp, and said curiously.
"Are you just this book? What's the point of seeing the same thing every day? ”
After that, Ye Fan took out the book and looked at it, the two big characters of the historical records were on the yellowed book, and the green leather writing had been turned and crumpled, and some places seemed to have faded, revealing yellow traces, and suddenly returned it boringly.
Seeing Ye Fan's skillful movements in his hands flipping through the book, the corners of his mouth moved lightly, and the lips of the two words of historical records were revealed, Mu Yichen was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ye Fan with bright eyes.
"Lady literacy?"
Ye Fan didn't know when it started, Mu Yichen happily called her a lady, it sounded strange at the beginning, and she was used to listening to it during this time.
Suddenly, his eyes swept away, and he said with some disgust.
"Who doesn't know the words?"
After listening to Ye Fan's words, Mu Yichen had a smile in his eyes, and the emotional lady thought that literacy was an easy thing?
In the village, there are really few people who can read and write, and they can count them on their fingers! Besides, the people in the village are all mud legs who are shaving in the fields, if it weren't for the fact that the small ones in the family are really talented and have the opportunity to gain fame, then no one will spend money to waste on the bundle.
This child's shackles for a year, but it is equivalent to a year's income, and the silver is used to give the baby literacy, what are you eating with so many mouths?
So there are really not many literate people in the village, the people in the village are simple, if you know that you are literate, they will look up to you, as far as he knows, in addition to the village chief Lizheng, the son of the village chief, and the son of the widow Lian's family, there is him, it seems that now the literate people will add a lady.
If the people in the village knew that the lady was literate, they would not look down on her because she was sold to the village.
"Lady, how do you think people are literate?"
"What's wrong with the literate ones?"
Looking at Ye Fan's grinning appearance, Mu Yichen had no choice but to explain.
"In the whole gold rush village, there are not many literate people? Lady, don't you really remember where you came from? Generally like a literate person, the family conditions are very rich, since the lady is literate, why was she sold again! I can't figure it out for a husband! ”
Hearing Mu Yichen's words, Ye Fan didn't know why she was a little weak in her heart, she was sold here after she came to this place, who knows who her predecessor was, let alone whether she was illiterate or not!
However, after he mentioned this, Ye Fan was also a little curious about what his life experience was like!
I couldn't help but think in my heart, maybe this body is really a daughter, and it may not be, after all, this appearance of fine skin and tender meat is really not like this kind of child raised in the village.
Not to mention anything else, she was still white and tender when she came, how long has it been now? She's already been tanned like this! If she continues like this, her fine white skin will be worried!
Ye Fan has long seen the appearance of this body, it looks gentle and delicate, it has a very ancient charm, with moth eyebrows and mantis, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, coupled with the white and tender appearance, it is simply a natural ancient beauty that makes people shine!
Although it is not beautiful, Ye Fan is also quite satisfied! After all, she hasn't seen anyone more beautiful than her in Gold Rush Village! Hey! The idea is a woman, how can she not love beauty?
A little narcissistic touched his face, the collagen on his face, Ye Fan tilted his head and looked at Mu Yichen who was smiling warmly on the bed.
"I don't remember anything before, so I don't know how I can read! I would like to ask you, why does your mother dislike you so much, but is willing to give you money to read? ”
Hearing Ye Fan's words, the light in Mu Yichen's eyes dimmed slightly, but he still smiled and said.
"When I was a child, my mother didn't like me very much, and she was always cold to me! It's just that when I got older, I heard from the people in the village that when I was born, my father took my eldest brother and second brother to the market to sell the grain in the market, and my mother began to have a stomach attack not long after she was at home, and I knew that I was going to give birth, and when I gave birth to me, I almost made her have a difficult birth, and when my father and eldest brother got the food money sold in the market, it was also stolen on the way back, so my mother thought I was a broom star! It's normal to dislike me! ”
Saying this, Mu Yichen smiled self-deprecatingly.
Ye Fan frowned, he couldn't understand what Old Mu's head thought at all, even if he almost had a difficult birth when he gave birth to Mu Yichen, how could he blame him? The meat that fell off his body, even if he didn't feel distressed, he still tossed so hard, and his heart and eyes were too biased.
The most strange thing is that Old Man Mu, the head of the family, doesn't care, and lets Old Mu mess around!
Looking at the eldest in the house, Mu Liang, the second Mu Gui, and the fourth Mu Nian, the daughter-in-law not only married early, but also the sons and daughters were also in pairs, so they told Mu Yichen about their relatives, and they bought it! If you really treat Mu Yichen as a son, you have to take a good look at each other! Ye Fan still didn't believe that because Mu Yichen had a broken leg, no one would marry him?
How to say that Mu Yichen is also the best-looking man in the village! Are all the women blind?
For some reason, thinking of this, Ye Fan was a little uneven!
"I can only say that your family is wonderful, especially your mother, and you don't look like a mother! Let me tell you first, although I am married to you, but you don't think about what I think of your mother, your mother treats us like this, I am not anxious with her and I already give her face! By the way, do you mind if I ask you······ How did the leg hurt? ”
