Crossing the Qinghe Landlord gl

In autumn and winter, under the blue sky, Qinghe Village looks rather desolate in the bleak autumn wind.After the wind passed, the mountains and forests were silent, and withered and yellow bamboo leaves were scattered in the bamboo forest.

A few cocks crowed and dogs barked, waking up the sleeping people. Although the crisp autumn air made them reluctant to leave the bed, they had to get up early for their livelihood.

Xia Da woke up after the cock crowed. Seeing that the main room was still dark and there was no movement, he knew that Zhang He and Xia Jiniang hadn't woken up yet.After waiting for a while, he saw a candlelight in the main room, and when the door opened, Xia Jiniang came out.

"Father is awake, but you want to fetch water to wash?" Xia Jiniang asked.

"I won't wash it anymore, there are still a few acres of rapeseed that have not been planted, so I have to go back to plant it!" Xia Da said roughly, if he had to say hello to Zhang He and Xia Jiniang, he would have gone back a long time ago.

Zhang He came out yawning, and when he heard that he was going back, he prepared a donkey cart to take him back, and asked Xia Jiniang to catch a duck for him to take away.Xia Da came in a hurry yesterday, and forgot all the vegetable stalks that Xia Cuishi asked him to bring. He came empty-handed, but returned with a full load. He couldn't do such a shameless thing, so he rejected Zhang He's kindness.

Zhang He and Xia Jiniang had no choice but to prepare some water and dry food for him to eat on the road, and then sent him to the entrance of the village before saying goodbye.

After sending Xia Da away, Xia Jiniang went back to fetch water to wash, while Zhang He was very tired and lay back on the bed.Xia Jiniang saw her lying on the bed, her legs were exposed, she didn't even take off her shoes, she said helplessly, "I knew you were tired and had to go back to sleep, so I advised you not to get up, but you just didn't listen."

"My father-in-law is going back, so I have to get up and give him a treat." Zhang He said vaguely, if she didn't want to wrap up her chest and dress again after getting up later, she would have slept inside with the quilt rolled up.

"Then take off your shoes and go to bed."

Zhang He kicked his feet, took off his shoes, moved them again, and put his feet under the blanket.Xia Jiniang let her go to sleep, rinsed her mouth with a willow branch, washed her face again, and planned to put on makeup, but then remembered something, put down the makeup box and walked out.

At this time, many figures have appeared in the field.Xia Jiniang first went to check the pit where the radishes were stored, then inspected the pea field, and then returned to the vegetable field to pick some vegetables for breakfast.

The few seedlings in the vegetable field have grown as thick as a thumb without knowing it, and the branches and leaves look very lush, and it has produced yellow flowers and several emerald green fruits.Xia Jiniang had never seen it before, didn't know what it was, and never touched it, and Zhang He hadn't paid much attention to it since then, so she was even more reticent to act rashly.

People passing by noticed it. At first they thought it was a loofah, but after a closer look, they found that the growth of the young fruit was different. People with a little knowledge guessed it was a courgette, but the petals were not the same. In the end, they could only ask Zhang He. .

Zhang He pretended not to know that there were so many plants growing in the ground, and pretended to pull them up.People in the village became curious and advised her to keep it.

Not only did Zhang He have such plants in his vegetable field, but some people also found them in their own fields when they were plowing the ground to plant peas, but they didn't think too much about it and pulled them out.Now that I saw the plants in Zhang He's field and remembered this, I regretted pulling them out.

The people pondered for a long time but did not come up with any results. Just seeing that the young fruit was similar to the young fruit of the pickled cucumber, they thought it was a variety of pickled cucumber that was not suitable for the soil and water.Moreover, although the plant looked luxuriant, it was full of traces of insect bites. It was obvious that it would not live long, so they slowly lost interest.

Xia Jiniang's curiosity became more and more serious day by day. Although she instinctively thought that Zhang He would know what it was, she wanted to find out by herself.Seeing its branches lying on the ground, she wondered if she needed to set up bamboo poles so that it could grow well.

Chen appeared on the official road with a five-month-old belly. Xia Jiniang saw that she was about to cross the ditch to the field ridge, and worried that the dew formed by the mist would wet the grass and make her slip, so she walked over: "Biao sister-in-law. "

"Jiniang, you got up really early!" When Chen Shi saw Xia Jiniang, her face was like a red flower in full bloom.

"There's a lot of dew in the morning, so cousin-in-law should be careful." Xia Jiniang reminded.

"I see." Mrs. Chen stared at Xia Jiniang's face for a long time before asking, "Didn't Ji Niang wear rouge and gouache today?"

"The rouge and gouache are used up." Xia Ji Niang said.

"So that's the case, but your officials treat you so well, let him buy you some more."

Xia Jiniang smiled slightly, changed the subject, and said, "Where is cousin-in-law going?"

"Your cousin went to the field half an hour ago, I'll come over to see why he hasn't come back." Chen said.

Just as they were talking, Li Qingshi appeared within their field of vision, and his figure became clearer and clearer. When he saw Mrs. Chen, he was stunned for a while, and asked, "Why are you here? And why are you wearing makeup again?"

Chen said shyly: "Yesterday you praised me for my good makeup, so I..."

Li Qingshi hesitated to speak, looking at the pillow person who was five months pregnant and didn't know how to express his thoughts.Xia Jiniang smiled and said: "My cousin came to look for you because she saw that my cousin hadn't returned for a long time, and she was worried. It's really enviable that my cousin and his wife are deeply in love."

Li Qingshi sighed softly when he heard the words, looked at Chen's eyes much softer, supported her arm, and said: "I know you are worried about me, but I just came out to see the situation of Shutian, what could happen? You don't want to worry about it. Besides, you are five months pregnant, what should you do if you fall down in the field?"

"I see." Chen replied gently.

The two had a deep affection in front of Xia Jiniang, and she couldn't help but wonder if she and Zhang He looked like this in the eyes of others?

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of blue and yellow tubers of different sizes in Li Qingshi's hands, and asked, "Cousin Shi, what is this?"

It was only at this time that Mrs. Chen noticed what Li Qingshi was holding in the other hand, so she took one and looked at it.This egg-sized tuber grows unevenly, the skin is green and yellow, and there is a lot of soil on it, as if it was dug out from the ground.

"I don't know either." Li Qingshi also gave one to Xia Jiniang, "When I passed by the wasteland on the western slope, I saw it half-naked - exposed on the ground, so I dug it out to have a look, and found that it was all grown under a single seedling. There are three such taro."

"Is this edible?" Chen asked.

"I don't know what it is. It's better not to eat it casually. You see it grows so green. If it's a courgette, it doesn't matter if it grows green, but it grows so green in the ground, so you can't eat it."

"Then why didn't you throw it away?" Chen said again.

"Why did you throw it away? Don't you think it's strange that something like this grows in this field? It's not a taro, let alone a kudzu root, but it may be because I'm ignorant. After all, there are many plants in the mountains that can be used as medicinal materials. , we can’t know one by one, can we?”

Li Qingshi has been in contact with brocade silkworms for many years, and he is not very clear about the crops in the field. Even those who cultivate the fields all the year round may not know all the species without going to other places.So Li Qingshi thought that this tuber should not be a rare thing, but they were ignorant and didn't know about it.

Xia Jiniang's heart moved, she tightened the tuber in her hand, and said: "cousin, can you give me one, I'll go back and let Erlang have a look."

Li Qingshi smiled and said, "Cousin takes it if she wants it."

Xia Jiniang grabbed two handfuls of vegetables and went back with this strange and special thing.

Zhang He and Zhang Xian had already woken up. After washing, one was busy stirring rice bran to feed the poultry, while the other was looking for fresh eggs in the haystack of the henhouse.Seeing Xia Jiniang come back, Zhang He put down the rice bran, washed his hands and went into the kitchen.

Xia Jiniang thought that she came just in time, so she opened her palms and asked, "Erlang, what is this?"

Zhang He originally wanted to hug Xia Jiniang and kiss her for a while, but he didn't, and was blocked by her outstretched hand.Turning his gaze a little, he saw clearly the egg-sized object in Xia Jiniang's palm, and asked, "What is this?"

Xia Jiniang thought that Zhang He would know what it was, but Zhang He's reaction was very natural, as if he didn't know the origin of the thing in front of him.

Zhang He took the tuber and thought about it carefully, and found that it seemed familiar, and when he thought about it carefully, he got a clue.It's just that the potatoes in her memory are yellow and palm-sized. When she saw this small piece of tuber just now, she couldn't recognize it for a while.

"Cousin Shi dug this up in the wasteland on the west slope. I heard that three grew from the same root. I don't know what it is and whether it is edible." Xia Jiniang said.

"It shouldn't be edible, you see it's still so green." Zhang He said.

This statement was exactly the same as Li Qingshi's, so Xia Jiniang dispelled her doubts.Zhang He put the tuber aside, and stared at Xia Jiniang's face for a while.The latter was used to the affectionate gaze she often cast, but at this time, with a hint of inquiry, he asked, "What's wrong with my face, why are you staring at me like this?"

"Suddenly found that Ji Niang didn't wear makeup, and felt that Ji Niang, who is in plain face, is also handsome and beautiful, as beautiful as a fairy." Zhang He laughed and changed the subject, "But why didn't Ji Niang wear makeup today?"

On weekdays, Xia Jiniang just put on a little rouge and water powder to touch up her face, and did not wear heavy makeup, but today she didn't even put on a little rouge and water powder, and she didn't even put on lip gloss, so she felt weird.

"Aren't you happy if I don't wear makeup?" Xia Jiniang asked.

"I'm happy whether Ji Niang wears makeup or not, but if Ji Niang has something on her mind, you can tell me." Zhang He didn't forget Xia Jiniang's temperament of always keeping her worries in her heart. She was worried that Xia Jiniang would have something to worry about, but she Can't see it, can't share her worries.

"I knew you would ask this question." Xia Jiniang said, turning around to light the fire, "Actually, it's not such a big deal, I just feel that wearing makeup all the time will attract people's attention and cause unnecessary trouble."

Xia Jiniang's words were subtle, but Zhang He understood the point: "Could it be that someone saw you wearing makeup often, so you imitated it?" People must be people who are quite close to them.

A red face suddenly appeared in Zhang He's mind, and he asked tentatively, "Sister Qingshi?"

Xia Jiniang glanced at Zhang He helplessly, but Zhang He got the answer from it.She blinked her eyes and was very puzzled: "This, why can I imitate this? And—" The makeup she imitated was also very different from Xia Jiniang's makeup, it would be better to look better without makeup.

The trend of comparison has existed since ancient times. Not to mention that women from powerful families will care about each other's status, makeup and clothing, even women in the country cannot avoid this vulgar custom.It’s just that the lower-class families worry about their livelihood all day long, so they naturally don’t have time to buy rouge and powder for makeup like the upper-class families, but they still love beauty in their hearts, and they will discuss and care about the behavior of neighbors who often put on makeup.

Mrs. Chen also had a lot of contacts with Xia Jiniang, and seeing her wearing rouge and powder on her face all day long, she was naturally envious.Besides, Aunt Li often talked about Xia Jiniang's friendship with Zhang He in front of her, so she inevitably got into disputes, so she gradually wanted to imitate Xia Jiniang.

Xia Jiniang also gradually realized Chen's intentions, Chen's intentions were innocent, and she was pregnant for five months, so she had to take care of it, so she simply put away the makeup box.

Zhang He was speechless for a long time, and asked: "Then you didn't wear makeup all the time just to consider her mood?"

"When my cousin gives birth to a child, I won't be so cranky."

"It has nothing to do with whether she is pregnant or not. Besides, she may have to think about it for a while after giving birth." Zhang He has never had a child but has heard of postpartum depression.It's just that this is a matter of the Li family, but even they have to accommodate her everywhere, which is a bit unreasonable.

"I know you want me to live a more comfortable life. It's just that I wear makeup to satisfy my desire for beauty. There is no harm in not wearing makeup. If you have a rift with my cousin because of this, it's not good. Feeling relieved. Do you say yes or no?"

"The root cause may not be here, I'll go to Brother Qingshi." Zhang He had a flash of inspiration.

"How do you plan to tell Cousin Real?" Xia Jiniang didn't obstruct, but asked curiously.

"The reason why sister-in-law Qingshi is like this must be that brother Qingshi didn't pay enough attention to her, which made her think wildly."

In Zhang He's view, the two of them had never even met each other before they got married, so don't expect to fall in love with each other at first sight on the day they get married.In the days after marriage, their way of getting along was also the most common way of husband and wife in the world, "respect each other as guests and treat each other like a guest". Under such circumstances, Li Qingshi inevitably neglected Chen Shi, and never tried to understand her thoughts.

Seeing that she didn't want to go to Li Qingshi to tell Li Qingshi something wrong, Xia Jiniang felt relieved.Stopped her who was about to go out with the tuber: "The breakfast is almost ready, eat it before going."

The author has something to say: is there still three chapters to add (comments [-], [-], and collection [-]) to restore a change?Hahaha……
