Crossing the Qinghe Landlord gl

Chapter 14 Appreciation

Xia Jiniang's face was flushed red by the stove fire, but Zhang He blushed from embarrassment at his words.She hastily explained: "I don't have any other intentions. I just think that when you buy jewelry, you will wear it, and people will appreciate it when you wear it. Therefore, you don't have to hide it because you are worried that no one will appreciate it, and make it dusty."

"Does that Zhang Erlang know that hairpins are not just given away?" Xia Jiniang asked again.

Zhang He was obviously stunned by this question, and she quickly realized: "Could it be that the hairpin has a special meaning?"

Looking at her reaction, Xia Jiniang knew that she didn't know anything about these things. She wanted to ask her if Jiji got a hairpin when she was 15 years old, but then she remembered that she was a man, so how could she have a hairpin?

"Not only hairpins, but also earrings, combs, bracelets, etc. cannot be given away casually." Xia Jiniang taught her.

Women usually get the first hairpin from their elders when they are 15 years old and put it on to show their adulthood, and if a man gives a hairpin to a woman, it is considered a token of affection, and if a woman gives a hairpin to a man, it is also a token of affection. Have a clear position in the main room.

Zhang He resentfully said, "Then... the woman gave the woman hairpin?"

Xia Jiniang paused, thinking that Zhang He wanted to reveal his identity?She said with a smile: "Women send women, that depends on what kind of intentions they have."

Zhang He breathed a sigh of relief, and just wanted to explain to Xia Jiniang that she gave her hairpin to repay the kindness for saving Zhang Xian, but Xia Jiniang didn't specify her identity clearly, what if she thought too much?So he swallowed the words again.

Before he knew it, the water boiled, and Zhang He was very embarrassed: "I agreed that you would teach me how to make a fire, but even the water boiled."

"The water is ready, I'll go back first."

Zhang He sent Xia Jiniang outside the door, closed the door and sent hot water to the bathing room.Two stoves, big and small, boiled two buckets of water, mixed it with cold water, and then she began to take a bath.

When he first arrived, Zhang found that he had menstruation, and he had this menstruation belt on his body.She doesn't have any memories of the original Zhang He, and how to use the menstrual belt depends on what she found when she was suffering from severe menstrual pain before, and she searched for information on the Internet to relieve the pain.

At the beginning, she really couldn't adapt, and she had to worry about not leaking it all the time. Later, she added some cotton to make the menstrual belt easier to use.Besides, she wears men's clothes, covered by a jacket and a blouse, and she doesn't worry that she will be embarrassed unknowingly.

Despite this, she usually moves less during menstruation.Fortunately, her dysmenorrhea only occurs on the first day, and the pain like today only occurs every few months, and the duration and pain are different each time.

Every time she has to spend money to ask others to look after the farmland, and the "temporary workers" hired for daily work also have a lot of expenses. If she doesn't work hard to get rich, sooner or later she will have to sit back and eat.

"Second brother!" Zhang Xian yelled outside, and Zhang He packed up and changed his clothes and went out.

"what happened?"

"Sister Xia told you to cover yourself with a thin quilt when you go to bed at night, don't catch a cold."

"I see, is your water boiled?"

Zhang Xian curled his lips, a little unhappy: "Second brother, do you really want to take a bath?"

"You haven't washed your body for two days, and if you don't wash your body, it will stink!"

Zhang Xian stretched out his feet: "I wash them every day!"

"No, you need to develop good hygiene habits. I'll fill you with water to take a bath."

Zhang Xian was very displeased. You must know that in the past ten days and a half months in Zhang's house, he only washed once, but since he lived in this village with Zhang He, he had to wash more frequently. He only washes it once a month, and if he washes it too often, others make fun of him!

When the rooster crowed at the top of its throat, the sky was already gray and somewhat bright.Qinghe Village has been bustling earlier than usual since the spring husbands came back from the military service. Many strong men got up and went out to work under the urging of the women, which disturbed the babies who were sleeping lightly. open.

Xia Jiniang got up late, she only woke up when she heard a baby crying on the other side of the river in front of Aunt Li's house. Aunt Li was already fetching water to wash her face, and when she saw her get up, she asked curiously, "Did you weave a net again last night?"

It's not that she dislikes Xia Jiniang for getting up late, but that Xia Jiniang has always been a self-disciplined child, and she rarely wakes up so late. She worries that Xia Jiniang is working too hard at night, which is not good for her health.

Xia Jiniang didn't weave until late at night, since Zhang He advised her to take care of her eyes, she seldom weaves late at night.Last night, I was just thinking about Zhang He's life experience, and I accidentally thought too deeply, and it was too late when she recovered.I was about to deny it, but it was hard to explain, so I acquiesced: "I have already set the fishing net, and I can go fishing when I have time someday."

For the farmers, everything bestowed by heaven and earth is a gift that can be used to make a living, especially Li Auntie's family is close to the river and can catch fish for sale.Although the fish is not expensive, the hawkers who sell fish in the county can earn 120 Wen a day, and [-] Wen can support a family of five for a day.

Even in Qinghe Village, there are still some rich households living there. These wealthy households rent out their fields to tenants to earn rent.And it is too far from the village to the county seat, so there are many shopkeepers around the village.

In the small village of Qinghe, there are butchers who raise pigs, slaughter and sell meat, woodcutters who chop firewood and sell firewood for a living, and "bohu" who buy wine koji from the government to make wine and sell it, and occasionally carry goods The peddlers who sell in various mountain villages are naturally indispensable to those who fish and hunt and sell to wealthy households.

Aunt Li can't make a lot of money from fishing and selling, but it is still an income, so she will not let it go.Xia Jiniang lost Aunt Li's fishing net, so she made one for her with all her heart.

"Brother Shi, you won't have to suffer so much when you come back." Aunt Li said expectantly and pitifully.

Growing up so big, my parents and aunt will love me. Who in the family didn't see her slowing down a little and said she was lazy?Xia Jiniang didn't say anything, and followed Aunt Li out.She looked around the field for a while trying to find Zhang He's figure, but then she remembered that Zhang He was probably still in pain at the moment, and he definitely wouldn't come down to the ground.

Just as he was thinking about it, the righteous master appeared with a hoe on his shoulder, and greeted them with vigor.

"Morning Li, Miss Xia!"

"Brother Donkey is healed?!" Aunt Li said.

Zhang He subconsciously glanced at Xia Jiniang, nodded and said, "Uh huh, it's done."

"Don't eat indiscriminately anymore, your body is already weak, and you have to suffer after eating bad food, how can you get stronger?!"

Zhang He looked at Aunt Li blankly, but his eyes were on Xia Jiniang. She felt that Xia Jiniang used bad food to cover her up.My heart couldn't help tightening: "Could it be that she knew my identity before she lied for me!"

Aunt Li's words rang out of her ears, and she didn't even bother to listen.However, whether Xia Jiniang discovered her identity or not, she never revealed a word, so why should she be worried all the time?Relaxing her mind, she responded to Aunt Li with a smile: "Well, I see."

Aunt Li had to take care of the work in the field, so she walked two steps faster, Xia Jiniang and Zhang He walked behind, Xia Jiniang asked in a low voice: "Are you really in good health?"

"Well, and I'm just weeding, Miss Xia doesn't have to worry."

"It's still better to rest."

Zhang He looked at Xia Jiniang quietly. The latter couldn't help being surprised that he didn't hear her response, but turned his head to look but met her deliberate gaze.My heart skipped a beat, but thinking that she was a woman, I swallowed the questioning words.

Zhang He realized that it was Xia Jiniang who discovered his identity, so he no longer alienated himself from men and women as in the past, and took the initiative to care about himself.She should have been happy, but she was hiding a touch of disappointment.

Suddenly, she noticed a hairpin pinned to Xia Jiniang's hair, and took a closer look, wasn't that style the crabapple hairpin she gave her!

"You, are you finally willing to wear hairpins?!" Zhang He said joyfully, her aesthetics was finally recognized by others, which made her happy for a long time.

Subconsciously, Xia Jiniang reached out and touched the head of the hairpin. Seeing her joyful appearance, she felt a little happy in her heart: "As you said, you can wear accessories as soon as you buy them. You don't have to hide them because no one will appreciate them."

"Well, you look so good in it!" Zhang He said.

Xia Jiniang covered her mouth and smiled lightly, she thought it was a good thing Zhang He wasn't a man, otherwise she wouldn't be able to chat with her so easily and listen to her praise her.

The two had a heated chat, but Aunt Li had already found out that they were alone. When she turned around and saw them talking and laughing, she was very happy.She knew that although neither of these two people said anything, they had been in contact with each other a lot, and there was no love between them!But she had to let Xia Jiniang pay attention, before Zhang He married Xia Jiniang into the door with three letters and six rituals, she couldn't do anything out of the ordinary!

Chatting again would delay the farm work, Xia Jiniang left after finishing the topic, and Zhang He went to the field to weed.

With her physique and physical strength, it is difficult to do it for a long time. Fortunately, she is smart. When she went to the city, she specially asked a blacksmith to help her make a thin and slender hoe, which was specially used for weeding.

Although the agricultural tools at this time were a step further compared to the Tang Dynasty, they were still very backward compared to modern times. The backwardness of production levels led to the backwardness of the economy.It's not that the common people don't want to spend as much time on farm tools as Zhang He did, but that it will cost more money to spend so much time on transforming the hoes. They are ordinary people who can barely eat, so it doesn't matter if they save more money and spend a little more energy.

It was already noon when Zhang He finished weeding the [-] mu of grass. Zhang Xian brought her water, and helped her gather the loose grass into a small ball, put it back in a basket and feed it to the cows.After finishing these, the siblings went back to make lunch.

Zhang He sat on a small low stool, burning the stove, and hammered his waist again.She overestimated herself too much. After all, even if she didn't do anything the next day, she would still have some back pain, not to mention the aftereffects of doing farm work all morning.

"Let's just say rest more, your body will feel uncomfortable?"

Xia Jiniang's voice sounded behind him, Zhang He trembled in fright, and the wood in the stove rolled.She turned her head and saw Xia Jiniang standing at the door, holding a lively fish in her hand.

"Xia, Mrs. Xia, when did you come?"

"I just came here, and I met a deer playing at the gate early, so I came in without saying hello to you."

"Also...you don't need to deliberately greet me." Zhang He said.

"When Chenshi went back to eat breakfast, he saw that you were busy and focused, so he didn't call you. After I went back, I went to the river to catch some fish. My aunt asked me to send you one to make soup to nourish your body."

She knew that Zhang He liked to eat fish, and she also considered that Zhang Xian could not handle small thorns, so she caught a carp without so many small thorns when fishing.She would not think that Zhang He was coquettish just because she was more capable than Zhang He. After all, she came from a different background and grew up in a different environment. She couldn't judge others by her own standards, so she felt more pity for Zhang He.

As soon as Zhang He heard about the fish soup, saliva was secreted from her mouth. She swallowed and said, "Thank Aunt Li for me, just give it to me, and I'll take care of it."

"Okay, here." Xia Jiniang wanted to help her handle the fish, but since Zhang He was polite to her, she didn't take the initiative to go over.

Zhang He took the fish, because the fish was still alive and kicking, she almost let go, but Xia Jiniang quickly helped her lift the gills.She was a little embarrassed, she just said she was going to deal with it but was so clumsy, if Xia Jiniang found out later that she couldn't even scrape fish scales, wouldn't it be a joke for her?

She pestered it for a long time, Xia Jiniang felt happy, and took the fish back again: "I will kill the fish for you first, and then you can use it to make soup!"

In the end, not to mention that Xia Jiniang helped her butcher the fish, Xia Jiniang even took care of how to remove the fish, cut the ingredients and watch the fire. Zhang He never realized that he was so crippled!
