Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Girl's Heart
After Yun Zhen raised for a few days, his body was almost fine. Yun Xue was still not at ease, and asked him to insist on taking medicine for a while, but Yun Zhen had no choice but to agree.
The Li family and the Liu family came over to see Yun Zhen every two days, and after making sure that Yun Zhen was fine, they were also relieved. The children of these two families, because Yun Zhen rescued them in time, just contracted the wind cold, and they were fine in a few days.
During the days when Yun Zhen was recuperating, Yun Xue and Yun Ni happened to find some of their father's clothes at home, and all of them were changed to small and left for Yun Xue to use on the mountain.
"Eldest sister, to be honest, I really don't want you to go to the mountains to work. Our father has been working there for several years, and we know best how tired he is. You are a woman, how can you endure such suffering? Yunni said as she sewed clothes.
Yun Xue also took a piece of clothing in her hand, although her needlework was a little worse, but this sewing and mending could not be difficult for her. "It's okay, you also heard Uncle Sun say, I'm just going to do laundry and cook something. With Uncle Sun here, he will always take care of me. Besides, in our family, the flowers are not small now. Yun Lin wants to study, and Yun Ting and Yun Lei are gradually getting older. You are ten years old this year, waiting for the filial piety of your parents, you will be thirteen, and your sister has to prepare a dowry for you. The little sister is small now, but she eats it, and the sister doesn't want to treat her badly. There is a lot of money. ”
"Besides, our family has too little land, only two acres in total, where is there enough to do anything? Sister still thought, save some money, let's buy more than a dozen acres of land. In that case, you won't have to worry about eating and drinking this year. When we have more land, we will produce more food, and at that time we can raise a few pigs, a few chickens or something. That's what it's like to live a life. Yun Xue raised her head and looked outside, imagining the prosperity of her family, and couldn't help but have a smile on her face.
Yun Ni listened to the description of the eldest sister, and she was also very looking forward to the future. "Eldest sister, what you said is quite good, but it costs a lot of money. Our family is all about yourself now, and you're so tired. Yunni felt sorry for her sister.
"Okay, don't think about that. In two years, Yun Zhen and Yun Lin will be older, and when the time comes, I will be able to relax and not have to work so hard. Yun Xue lowered her head and continued to sew clothes.
"Sister Yunxue, are you at home?" Someone outside suddenly shouted.
"It's Sister Qianru here." As soon as Yun Xue heard the voice, she knew that it was Zhao Qianru who was coming, so she hurriedly put on her shoes and went out. "Sister Qianru, Sister Hanyu, why did you two come over today? Quick, come in and sit, on this cold day, hurry up and sit on the kang. Yun Xue hurriedly went to the kitchen and brought hot water in, and poured them two cups of hot tea.
"Come, how about a taste of the tea I made?" Yun Xue dripped the tea to Qianru and Hanyu.
"Yo, what kind of tea did you get? Why are there petals in it? Qianru looked at it and said in surprise.
"It's spring, so I deliberately made roses and put some honey on them, and it tasted very sweet. We girls, it's not good to drink too much tea, it's better to drink some of this, the weather is dry in winter, so it raises people. Yun Xue also took a cup herself and took a sip while it was hot.
"I don't see it, you can still make this thing out of your usual swagger? Not to mention, it tastes so good. Hanyu took a sip with a smile, and then teased.
Yun Xue smiled and didn't squeak. Over there, Qianru saw the clothes on the kang, and asked a little strangely, "Isn't this Uncle Han's previous clothes?" Why is it still smaller, who is this going to wear? ”
Yun Xue went to work in the mountain field, and the soldiers didn't want others to know, "Well, I want to change it and leave it for Yun Zhen to wear." In a few days, Yun Zhen and I were going to go up the mountain to collect firewood, just so that he could wear my father's old clothes. Yun Xue casually made an excuse.
"Still going to collect firewood? Yunxue, what about the two stacks of firewood that are so high at the gate of your house. It's bigger than my family, and you have to go to the mountains to collect firewood? You're really capable. Qianru shook her head, wondering what Bai Yunxue was doing so hard? The firewood at home is enough to burn for two years, and there is no need to pick it up at all.
"Sister Qianru, you don't understand. The firewood was all dry, and it was used to burn the stove too quickly, and it didn't heat for long. Let's pick up some wet ones and mix them together when the time comes, so that the stove will be hotter for a long time. Yun Xue explained with a smile, this Qianru should not do a lot of things at home, so she doesn't understand this.
"Oh, I see. By the way, you also have a stove at home, which is rarely useful in our village. Usually a brazier is placed in the house. When Qianru heard this, she quickly looked at the stove.
Yun Xue put the stove on the outside floor, and then there was a fire wall under the south window of the house, and the chimney made a hole in the wall. In this way, the house is warm, not so much ash, but very clean.
"Not to mention, the house is much cleaner in this way. Like the brazier in our house, when the fire is pulled, there will be ashes. It has to be cleaned often, or there will be too much dust. Hanyu also looked at it carefully, and thought it was really good. You girl, you can do anything. ”
"By the way, why do the two sisters have time to come to me today?" Yun Xue didn't answer Hanyu's words, but asked rhetorically.
As soon as Qianru heard this, she covered her mouth and smiled. She pointed at Hanyu, and then said, "A mother-in-law came to her house today, and then her mother kicked her out and asked her to come out for a walk." The two of us thought we hadn't seen you in a few days, so we just happened to come and have a look. ”
Although Qianru didn't say who the mother-in-law from Hanyu's family was, looking at Qianru's narrow smile, Yun Xue could probably guess it. "Ah, congratulations to Sister Hanyu. I just don't know, which one is this person talking about? "It turned out that someone came to propose, no wonder Hanyu's face couldn't be erased, and Qianru was full of curiosity and teasing.
In this year, the woman's marriage cannot be decided by herself. Generally, it is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, and then the family affair is decided. Girls, where can they have no expectations for their future husbands? It's just that they rarely choose according to their own hearts.
Hanyu's face was red and a little shy. "Qianru, don't talk nonsense. I'm only fifteen, and I don't want to get married too early. ”
Hanyu's temperament is different from Qianru and Yunxue, and she belongs to the gentle and shy type. She has a supple temperament, good looks, and a good needlework, and several nearby villages are famous. Such a girl can't be kept, I'm afraid it won't take a year or two for her to get married.
Yun Xue looked at Hanyu's shy look, but she remembered the moment when she was in high school, when the man she liked came to her. What girl doesn't have a spring? It is twenty-eight years old, when he is in his prime, who dares to say that he has no dreams of his own for the other half of the future?
"Sister Hanyu, you are such a gentle and virtuous woman, you will definitely have a good home. We'll be waiting to drink your wine. Yun Xue also said with a smile. Anyway, it's all a room full of girls, and I'm not afraid that others will listen to it.
At this moment, Hanyu's face turned even redder, "Dead girl, you still came to make fun of me." See if I don't clean you up. Hanyu was annoyed and embarrassed, reached under Yun Xue's armpit, and tickled.
Yun Xue was most afraid of this, and suddenly laughed so much that she lost her strength, "Sister Hanyu, I don't dare, can't I say it?" Yun Xue laughed breathlessly, and tears came out.
Hanyu stopped, "See if you dare to laugh at me?" Then he looked back at Qianru, "You don't have to laugh at me, but I heard that your mother has been giving you Zhang Luo family affairs recently." ”
Qianru stopped smiling for a moment, and looked at Hanyu in a daze, "Really?" Why didn't I listen to my mother? ”
"One day my mother was talking to your mother together, and then let me hear it. Your mother said that you are as old as me, and it is time to find your mother-in-law's house. said that she had entrusted her grandmother to protect the media, and she would tell you a good family matter. Hanyu thought about what she heard at the time, and then said it.
When Qianru heard this, she pouted, a little unhappy. "I hate it, people don't want to be so early. No, when I get home, I have to talk to my mother, why do I have to say goodbye so early? "There are few girls and many boys in the Zhao family, so I am quite used to Qianru. Come to think of it, she may not be willing to let her marry too early.
Yun Ni watched several sisters laughing there, and then looked at her eldest sister, who was about the same age as the two of them. But now in the situation at home, they have to keep filial piety for three years, and after three years, the eldest sister will be seventeen. When the time comes, all the good men will marry their daughters-in-law, what will the eldest sister do? Moreover, there are still these burdens in the family, and the eldest sister's family affairs in the future are afraid that it will be difficult.
Thinking of this, Yunni's heart became uncomfortable, and she shed tears while sewing her clothes.
Qianru saw Yunni crying, and wondered a little, didn't she talk and laugh just now, what's wrong with this? "Yunni, what's wrong with you? Why are you still crying? ”
Hanyu and Yun Xue also hurriedly came to Yun Ni's side, "Is there something uncomfortable?" If you feel uncomfortable, tell your sister quickly, and my sister will invite you to come to Langzhong. Yun Xue said a little scared.
Yunni threw herself into the arms of the eldest sister and cried, "Eldest sister, we are the ones who have caused you." Otherwise, it's time for you to say goodbye. What will the eldest sister do in the future? ”
Yun Xue only then figured out that her sister was worried about her. "Oh, it scared me, I thought something was wrong. It's nothing, it's enough for the eldest sister to have you, whether you marry or not, you don't have to think about it now. When you all have landed, the eldest sister will be able to rest assured. ”
