Chapter 12

Li took the chopsticks to the kitchen, thought about it, and asked Chun Xing to take the chopsticks out with Qiu Li and wash them in the courtyard, so that the kitchen would not get wet.

Qiuli likes Niang's arrangement. She has tried to slip in the kitchen, so she has long hated the greasy kitchen. However, she is constrained by Zhang's obscenity and dare not speak up. Now she moves out to wash, which is exactly what she wants!

Spring apricot is a must, what mother said is what, immediately with a big dustpan to put away the dishes and chopsticks, and Qiuli carried to the yard next to the big stone cleaning up.

Orange can come to help, spring apricot and Qiuli busy push away her: "go! What a mess you're making! How many days and nights is not enough? Why don't you come in and have a rest? "

Orange know two elder sisters love themselves, also don't want to brush their meaning, according to the words back to the house.

But as soon as orange entered the room, she fell on the creaky bed. She stared at the black linen thatched roof, and was very depressed. They either become a daughter or a princess of a country. No matter how hard it is, they are also a lady of a wealthy family. I'm good. I've become a peasant girl and a "short-lived ghost"!

What is this called!

Zhao Ke orange pulled the yellow hair, thought, must quickly think of some good way to get rich, as soon as possible out of this state of abject poverty! But I'm not the material for farming!

Although I used to live in my grandmother's house in the countryside for more than ten years when I was a child, after more than ten years, I almost forgot What can we do now? We're just going to have to go through all the inventory in our heads.

I just don't know what Dynasty it is now? Don? Song? Yuan? Ming? Qing?

Whatever he is, whether his emperor's surname is Zhao or Zhu won't hinder my road to wealth!

Think for a while, this small body is really unable to support, but orange's head bit by bit, soon fell asleep.

Li watched chunxingqiuli wash and put away the dishes and chopsticks before entering the room.

See orange curled up thin body is sleeping sweet! Li sighed slightly and pulled a quilt to cover her thin body tightly. Then he took the work to lift the curtain, sat at the door and began to embroider.

Zhao Changfu went into the room to drink water. Seeing Li sitting at the door, he said, "why don't you sit in the room? It's windy at the door

Li said, "it's dark inside. This meeting is under the sun. What are you afraid of? "

Zhao Changfu knew that after Li had given birth to the third girl for half a month, he began to embroider every day. His eyes were burnt out. When he lit a light, he was easy to shed tears. It was dark and he couldn't see clearly. After thinking about it, it's still my fault that I can't grow good crops and earn money. If I can earn more money, my wife won't work so hard

He sighed and said to Li in a low voice: "mother is like this. It's not easy for us as sons and daughters-in-law to care with her Wife, I know you suffer. I will treat you well. If you can't have a son, your daughter is also very good! We have three daughters, and we will have endless blessings in the future! "

Li bit off the line in his mouth and said, "your mother said that if you can't have a son again, you'll have to divorce your wife!"

Zhao Changfu said quickly: "mother is confused, so are you? She said that in anger! We have been husband and wife for 12 years. Don't you know who I am? Sons and daughters are our blood and bone. We are already connected. How can we separate? Don't say that again! You, Li Wan, are the mother of my three daughters, and my wife, all my life! Don't say that if you can't have a son, you can't have a child. You've been Zhao Changfu's wife all your life! How many days have you rested over the years? After giving birth to three children, none of them ever had a good birth. It's so painful to have a baby. We won't have one. We won't have another! "

Seeing that Li's eyes were red, he wanted to cry. Zhao Changfu swore and swore again. He was not nervous.

In fact, can orange has been awake, just about to call water to drink, heard Zhao Changfu swear. She was so embarrassed that she got rid of the fever. Her throat was dry and itchy. She wanted to cough but didn't dare to cough. She was afraid that she would disturb the two swearing people.

Baby's heart is bitter, but baby can't say it! Orange fidgeted to pull his hair - not so much hair, as yellow hair.

Fortunately, Li's eyes, can see orange desperately pull hair, thought she was sick again, hurried forward to check.

But orange pretended to wake up, rubbed her sleepy eyes and said, "mother, I'm thirsty!"

Zhao Changfu poured a bowl full of water for her to drink, but orange drank a big bowl of water and fell asleep again!

The next morning, Li sent Chunxing and Qiuli to turn over the apricot blossom village. He dug up all the purslane he could see, carefully shook the soil, put it in the basket, and called Zhao Changfu to send it to Mrs. Zhou.

There are dozens of families in Xinghua village.

Lao Zhao's family is at the head of the village, and his courtyard occupies at least one mu of land, with a total of six rooms.

As soon as you enter the courtyard, turn right and there is a small kitchen. A little further inside is a row of four rooms with yellow mud brick as the wall and earth grey tile as the roof.

The East chamber is the largest and brightest, with seven members of the second family crowded; there are three beds, one for the second couple, one for boys and one for girls, separated by a curtain;The old man and his wife live next door to the second family. This room is the most ventilated. It's hot and humid in the south. Every rainy day, all the children compete to go to their grandparents' room.

the third room is the main room, in which there are two tables, several chairs, a number of small stools, meals and other things.

the farthest room is the smallest, in which there are five members of the eldest family, two beds and two bedrooms Big couple and little daughter three wenches sleep a bed, spring apricot autumn pear sleep a bed. The middle is also separated by a curtain, which is pulled up at night and opened during the day.

Behind a row of four rooms is the backyard. There is a warehouse in the backyard, in which are the farm implements of Lao Zhao's family. There are hoes, harrows, bamboo brooms and shovels for drying grain.

The firewood of Lao Zhao's family is piled up in the backyard. If it rains, they will collect all the firewood and pile it up in the corner of the warehouse. So the warehouse is the same size as the bedroom of the boss.

Lao Zhao's family has a lean pig and two old hens. Sow raised a year and a half, because there is no oil and water at home, thin, I am afraid to be sold at the end of this year. The old hen lays eggs for Xianrong. Zhang says that Xianrong will study in the future. It takes the most brain to study. She has to eat more eggs to support her body.

The daily routine of the Zhao family is: grandma Zhang is responsible for the division of labor, and keeps an eye on the two wives and seven children all day long (Xianfan works in the Zhou family, not counting).

Old man Zhao and his son go to work in the fields. Shi is used to being lazy and deceitful, and occasionally follows him. Most of the time, he stays at home, saying that he has to help his mother-in-law Zhang to watch a few children. Li does embroidery at home and delivers goods to Cen's family every market day. Xianfan, the eldest son of Er Fang, works as a helper in a big family in the town. Xianrong doesn't work and doesn't show up all day long Because he is Zhang's favorite second grandson, he naturally holds privileges.

The rule of Lao Zhao's family is: girls don't have to go to the fields when they are 12 years old.

Spring apricot is 11 years old. She can get married in three years. Although it's not too late for a peasant girl to get married when she is 17 or 8 years old, old man Zhao is especially fond of his gentle and polite granddaughter. He says that there's nothing to do outside. It's better to let his sister-in-law take Chun Xing to learn how to cook at home. Zhang is not happy, but she can not beat old man Zhao, had to rely on.

In addition to learning from her mother, Chunxing takes Qiuli to take charge of three meals a day.

Qiuping and Qiurong of the second room and Kecheng of the big room go out every day with a small basket to pick wild vegetables and pull pig grass. Qiuping and Qiurong are cruel and rude. They are impatient. They often beat people before three words. In the past, Ke Cheng always succumbed to their lewd power, but now Ke Cheng can hide and talk back. Qiuping Qiurong said, but she began to beat her sister Qiulan. Qiulan was afraid of them, so she would rather follow Kecheng than get close to Qiuping Qiurong.
