Chapter 6: Eating melons brings back memories
Listening to the chattering of a group of female spectators, Yu Hongdou felt her head was as big as a jar. She let go of her mother's hand, used her height advantage to get out of the crowd like a monkey, hid under the eaves, and stroked her chest to calm herself.
Compared with the Yu family, the village chief's family not only has an extra row of gatehouses, but also two east and west courtyards. The front row of gatehouses is the main hall and study, which are both places for receiving guests and doing business. The main house is where the old couple and their daughter live. The east and west wings are the kitchen and firewood room on one side and the guest rooms on the other. The east and west courtyards are prepared for their son.
There is a well in the yard, and above the well there is a green icon with a round head and a pointed tail floating brightly.
"Hongdou, come in quickly~" The second cousin Hu Tao's full-moon-like face poked out from the guest room in the east wing and called her little cousin with her chin.
Yu Hongdou looked at the well emitting green light with regret, and ran over with her legs thumping.
As soon as I entered the room, I found that there were seven or eight people crammed into the small room.
There are not many children in each family in the village, and there is a gap. This is all due to natural disasters and wars in previous years. At that time, people were in panic, and they were not well fed and clothed. There were very few pregnancies, and most of the children born died young.
That is to say, it was only a few years ago when the Xin Dynasty was first established and Emperor Anhe, the founding emperor, ruled with benevolence and loved the people that people's lives gradually improved, and it was only in recent years that more and more children were born and grew up.
Therefore, there were few children of the same age as Yu Hongdou, and most boys did not play with girls. At this moment, except for her, the only ones in the room were girls of about the same age as her second cousin.
"You and Third Aunt have been delayed in front for so long, did you hear anything?" Before Hongdou could greet everyone one by one, she was pulled over for interrogation by her second cousin. She had followed her brothers to bring Liu and the Liu family here first, but was driven to the backyard by her father. Now she was curious about the sentence for the dead Liu.
Yu Hongdou looked at her anxious cousin and other sisters and couldn't help but smile. It seems that eating melons is human nature.
There was nothing to hide about the treatment of Liu and the Liu brothers. The five-year-old girl had a good eloquence to begin with, and now she was even more eloquent, turning what had just happened in the front room into a story.
The story also emphasized the several sign-in locations, especially the exquisite embroidered screens. Yu Hongdou wanted to know what was so special about Lian's embroidery that made the village chief so proud.
"Of course it is exquisite. That's Lian's embroidery. My eldest brother spent a lot of time and money to buy it." Gao Xiulan, the youngest daughter of the village chief, raised her chin and emphasized "Lian's" with pride.
"Is it the world-famous Lian family? Oh my God! I heard that Lian's embroidery had always been a tribute in the previous dynasty. Ordinary people have never even seen it, let alone have it!" Not sure if it was a joke to praise the village chief's daughter or if she was really shocked, a girl immediately told everyone how precious Lian's embroidery was.
"Ah, is it the authentic Lian's embroidery that is so exquisite and bright in colors? I heard from my grandma that Lian's embroidery has been lost! I didn't expect that Brother Hongyang could get it! Xiulan, can you bring that embroidered screen to us to open our eyes? If I see it with my own eyes, I will have something to brag about in my life!" If the previous girl's words were somewhat exaggerated and flattering, this one was much more sincere, especially when mentioning "Brother Hongyang".
Seeing Gao Xiulan's transformation from pride to embarrassment, Yu Hongdou tried hard not to laugh, and became extremely curious about the Lian embroidery that was so highly praised by everyone.
Everyone's attention had been diverted from her, so Yu Hongdou simply opened the sign-in system and poked at the word "embroidery".
【Embroidery skills teaching course】
[Embroidery Lady Lian Wenzhi (Embroidery Skill Level 2 95%) — Start]
Yu Hongdou didn't even think about it and clicked [Start]. Then, a familiar pop-up window popped up at the top of the interface:
[Warm Tips: In learning mode, the host's body needs to enter a dormant state. For the host's safety, please pay attention to the surrounding environment. ]
...Well, the surrounding environment was indeed not suitable for sleeping or fainting. Yu Hongdou silently turned off the system and sat on the small stool given to her by her second cousin in a daze.
"Hey, do you know what's going on with Uncle San and Uncle Si Yu?" The matter of Lian's embroidery came to an end with Gao Xiulan's hesitant promise, and the curious girl brought up a new topic.
"I don't know, but you actually call Brother Yu Heng 'fourth uncle'!" The girl who was praising Lian's embroidery in front couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at? My mother and Aunt Yu are cousins. Hu Tao Hong Dou and I are of the same generation. Shouldn't I follow them and call them uncle?" The young girl who brought up the new topic glanced at the girl who was laughing.
"Chun Xing is right, but you, Su Qin, are so good friends with Hu Tao, but you don't want to follow her and call her uncle. Could it be that..." The girls present were of the same age and had reached the age of marriage. They understood instantly and couldn't help but make fun of her.
"What's the big deal? Brother Yu Heng is so capable. It's not shameful for me to marry him. My mother even said that she would ask someone to go to Yu's house to ask later!" The girl named Su Qin was not embarrassed at all. Instead, she was very frank, which made the eyes of several other girls sparkle.
"The other day, when my mother and I went to my grandmother's house, we saw Brother Yu... Heng talking to Tian Manman from the Tian family. At that time, I didn't know it was Brother Yu Heng, I thought it was... they seemed to know each other very well."
Yu Hongdou, who was originally a little mushroom, heard the name of the heroine, and her ears perked up. Did the hero and heroine already meet again at this time? ?
In fact, the Yu family and the Tian family are not from the same village. The village where the Yu family lives is called Taoyuan Village. Taoyuan Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on two sides. The water flows into a river downstream of the village, and the place where the water flows into a river is Taoxi Village where the Tian family lives.
The two villages are not far away, but they are not close for children either. The heroine Tian Manman is eight years younger than the hero Yu Heng, so it is a bit far-fetched to say that they are childhood sweethearts.
Judging from the subsequent flashbacks, when the hero Yu Heng was running around the mountains and fields flirting with cats and dogs, he met the heroine's predecessor twice, who almost fainted from hunger because of not having enough to eat.
The first time, Yu Heng gave the other party a roasted sparrow and a shriveled fruit. The second time, Yu Heng gave the other party a small fish and tools for catching fish and shrimps.
After the time-traveling heroine inherited all the memories of the original owner, she was deeply impressed by the big brother who was the only one who brought warmth and sunshine to the original owner's memory. The previous meeting and recognition was just to fulfill the original owner's long-cherished wish.
After knowing the hero's identity, the heroine wanted to take advantage of the situation to pay attention to and help the hero. In the process of getting along, they gradually fell in love and finally got together.
Yu Hongdou remembered that the second time the heroine and the hero met was in Dongshan beside Taoxi River. The hero was ambushed and knocked unconscious. The heroine saved him and provided a very important clue.
This clue allowed the male protagonist to successfully find a very important object. He handed it over to his master, who performed a great deed, was directly promoted to a higher rank, and was also granted a house.
Yu Hongdou held her little head and thought to herself, this item that can bring such great benefits to the male protagonist may also be useful to his brother who already has a job and his father who has secretly taken refuge with a nobleman?
