Village Flowers and Female Scholars

The next day, Tian Lao Er, who was plowing the land, came early.

As a young and pretty widow, Cao E couldn't get in touch with Tian Lao Er alone. Xie Yan asked her to do some work at home, and he invited Granny Yu to go to the field to identify the boundaries of Tian Lao Er, and let him cultivate the land by himself. , When I arrived at noon, I ordered Cao E to cook the rice, and Xie Yan sent another one to the field.

Tian Laoer is also a veteran farmer, he is serious in his work, and he is not polite when plowing the land. Putting the plow on the ground, looking at the turned up soil, Yu Po can't help but give a good meal to He Laosan who rented the land before Scolding, he has not plowed or plowed the land for several years, so he just planted it. The soil in this field has been nourished by him.

Only then did the villagers know that Xie Yan's mother and son rented the farmer's land, but paid someone to plow the land, expressing their puzzlement, so during the two days when Tian Laoer came to plow the land, many people came to watch, knowing that it was Xie Yanhua Those who paid three hundred Wen to invite people to help have their own opinions.

"Cao E's mother and daughter must be out of their minds. If you have the money to hire someone to help plow the land, why bother renting other people's fields? It's better to keep the money for hiring people and spend it yourself."

"Isn't He Laosan planting the farmer's land? Why is the Xie family planting it now?"

"You don't know, my eldest sister came to Sister Jin's house yesterday, and Sister Jin told her that this old man and his wife took advantage of the damage to Zhuang Xiucai's reputation and came to the door to suppress the rent, saying that the rent would not be lowered." No renting, and no one is willing to plant their family's land at that time, and Yu Po is sick again, they concluded that Zhuang Xiucai would not dare to be soft, but who knows that Xiucai took back the land directly, what is the old couple? I panicked and apologized again and again, but the dealer refused to agree, and then the husband and wife had no choice but to leave in despair."

"It turns out that's what happened. It's so ridiculous. It's really not worth the money."

"No, but Zhuang Xiucai, I think I can't just listen to the family. It stands to reason that Xie Jinniang was implicated by this incident, and she should be at odds with Xiucai. Now, every time I go to the streets, I’m paired with a scholar, I don’t think this is necessarily what everyone thinks.”

"I also think it's strange that Kefu's pot has been withheld like this. No one can swallow this breath, but Zhuang Xiucai bought land for them on credit. When they separated, they clearly stood on the side of Jin'er, and now they are Renting the land to their family, I don't quite understand the direction of this."

"Hey, the private school is closed now, and the two young ones in my family want to send them to study, but they don't know where to send them. The repairs in the town are expensive, and it takes more than half an hour to walk there. There are many cars and people on the road. , and can’t be picked up every day, what if it is stolen by human traffickers, quickly find a way to set up the private school, I still trust Zhuang Xiucai’s character.”

"Otherwise, tell Lizheng, let him quickly invite Zhuang Xiucai back to teach the children, what should we do if we want to learn how to read in our village after going down like this?"

"Anyway, my family has no children, so I don't care about it, but if I were Zhuang Xiucai, and I was treated like this by you before, I wouldn't go if I was invited by eight palanquins. Besides, he would copy books for a bookstore for hundreds of pennies a day. How much is Shu Xiu, why would I bother picking up sesame seeds and throwing watermelon."

"What should I do? I shouldn't have been bewitched by the Cao family and the Fang family to follow suit and bring the child back."

The people around were chattering and whispering, and they couldn't help envying that Tian Laoer drove the ox cart back and forth and plowed a piece of land in a short time.

"It's getting colder and colder in the future, and our land has not yet been turned over. Three hundred renminbi can turn up ten acres of land. I would also like to invite you. I have to talk to Tian Laoer first..."

"Hey, Aunt Zhang, please slow down and wait for me, please, I will be behind you—"

As for the Cao family at the end of Shangyan Village at the end of the village, half of the hall was burned down and the wind came in. Except for the second brother Cao Hong, his wife Dou Shi and the eldest son Cao Xingnian who went to the town, everyone else was around the table. Have a meal.

Mrs. Cao chattered endlessly while picking up the food in the bowl: "Other people's houses are now overturned, and a piece of our house has not been moved. It's fine for Brother Nian to kill pigs with the second child. After dinner, the third child brings birthday Brother Nian and Brother Yue are going to dig the land, Sister Tao and Sister Liu are also going, and Brother Nian and his daughter-in-law are at home with the baby."

As soon as the words were over, 12-year-old Cao Xingyue pouted and said unhappily: "I won't go, my mother said, now our family relies on my father and my elder brother to go to grandpa's house to kill pigs to earn money, and we have to work. The rest of you go."

As soon as Mrs. Cao heard this, she took chopsticks and tapped him on the head, cursing and saying: "Your father and three children don't work, so Brother Shou and Sister Tao do it by themselves, and the two of them turned over [-] acres of land. when?"

"Back then, when Auntie and Xie Jinniang were still there, they dug the ground together, didn't they finish it!" Cao Xingyue pushed back unconvinced.

"Don't mention those two bastards to me. Sister Liu just heard that those two bastards are now renting the farmer's land. They went to the town early in the morning and hired someone to help plow the land. After three days, they will give it to others. Three hundred Wen, Cao E, a bitch with money in his pocket, would rather use it to honor others than take it back for his own parents. young lady."

"Grandma, then Xie Jinniang can earn so much money digging herbs and mushrooms in the mountains, otherwise we would also go to the mountains to find wild goods. You see, she can build a house in just over a month. I think we are not bad, and there are more people than her." , maybe you can get a few taels of silver a day."

Cao Xiaotao thought of the cloth she had snatched that day, and thought that Xie Jinniang could afford such a good cloth, her eyes turned red with jealousy.

"You just eat but don't grow your brain. Do you know wild goods? If you don't know how to pick them up."

After Mrs. Cao finished speaking, everyone was silent again.

"That little slut is really scheming. She has this ability but keeps hiding it from others. It really pissed me off."

Thinking that Xie Yan could earn several taels of silver in just over a month, I couldn't help but beat my chest and feet. If Xie Jinniang went up the mountain to pick up wild goods, it would cost five taels of silver a month, and it would be five or sixty taels soon after that year. At the beginning, I said I would sell it. It's only eight taels for a brothel, and it's clear at a glance which is more and which is less.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but get angry again, put the rice bowl in my hand on the table heavily, stepped on the third son Cao Bin who was eating sullenly next to him, and cursed: "It's all you prodigal son, If you hadn't said that you were going to send Da'ezi's family to a brothel, which made this laying hen run away, look at how much money they make a day now, and now the whole village doesn't want to see us."

Cao Bin was already a big man, so it was painless to be kicked. Mrs. Cao's words came in one ear and out the other, as if she didn't hear her, and ignored her at all.

"As for you, you seem to be deaf. You lie at home every day and don't go out to work. There are three big bowls full of rice for a meal, and you eat up all the rice in the house. Everyone is anxious when eating. , work but pushed one by one, why did our old Cao family raise a group of useless people like you."

Granny Cao scolded this one and that one, but her grandsons have long been used to being scolded by her. These remarks are not painful to them, and no one wants to talk to her. Lift it up.

"And you, Brother Shou, you're almost twenty and don't even have a wife. Don't you think you've been single for the rest of your life like your third uncle? You have to be married to Sister Tao and Sister Liu, old man. Just take a look and see which villages are nearby, and those who have sisters in the family can also match each other, and then let them marry the sisters over, and it will be a success if they exchange one, otherwise they will wait until when."

Cao Xiaoliu is the daughter of Cao Lao Er and Dou Shi, who butchered pigs, and she was instantly unhappy when she heard what Cao Lao said: "Grandma, the ones who are short of wives are the third uncle and the eldest brother, why should I exchange them?" If you want to change it, you can change it with your cousin, my mother said, she will find me a good family when the time comes."

Cao Xiaotao is now being dragged out by her cousin to sell, and she is also upset, but as a posthumous child, her father died before she was born, and her mother also ran away after giving birth to her. There is no one in the family who can support her Man, when Xie Jinniang was around, Mrs. Cao would pay attention to her first no matter what, but now that Xie Jinniang is gone, the spearhead has turned to her. The first sacrifice must be yourself.

And if you want to change marriages, what kind of good family can you change to, what kind of good situation can be in a family that can take out your own sisters to exchange for a wife, and what is the difference from the current Cao family? Thinking of this, Cao Xiaotao flashed hatred Look, if my father is alive, my mother will not run away, what right do these cousins ​​have to tell me what to do, even if there is a mother who kills pigs!

At this time, the silent old man Cao said in a low voice, "What's the noise? Everyone has to go to the ground together after dinner."

Suddenly there was wailing on the table.

I only heard the old man Cao say to the third son Cao Bin: "You also go with me, you have to go to the field after you stay in this house for a day, otherwise you don't come back after you go out."

Cao Bin didn't speak.

After dinner, six or seven people carried hoes and shovels and walked towards the field in a mighty manner. Walking on the road, people in the village looked sideways, and some even joked: "The young masters and young ladies of the Cao family finally went out. Get down."

As soon as the words were finished, the people beside them burst out laughing.

Everyone in the farm family is mud-legged, but these years, the Cao family has forcibly left all the work on the family's ten-acre field to Cao E's mother and son. I couldn't get used to it for a long time, but now I can't help but sneer twice when I see the opportunity.

Cao Xiaotao and Cao Xiaoliu still knew that they were ashamed and kept their heads down while carrying the hoe, but Cao Xingyue thought that others were praising him, and said proudly: "My young master is just going to experience the people's feelings, and I will be back later. .”

As soon as the words were over, he was slapped on the back of the head by the old man Cao who followed behind. He turned his head and saw that the person who hit him was his grandfather, and he froze immediately, and swallowed back the few foul words that he was about to swear. With his head buried in his face, he followed behind his family and headed towards the field.

The author has something to say: Everyone is asking if a talent can be a talent. So far, the author's positioning of Wan'er is just lip service.
