Married a scholar

▍Each family chooses its own.

Xia Wenze's face softened when he heard the words, "Didn't you bring back a lot of cloth, plus the remaining cloth from these three clothes, you can make two pairs of shoes for yourself."

When Meng Yining came out, he brought two pieces of patched clothes and a pair of patched cloth shoes on his feet.

This time Meng Yining didn't argue with him, "I see that after I finish making shoes for me, there will be extra for you to make shoes for, and then I will have someone make a pair for you."

Although Xia Wenze's shoes looked better than Meng Yining's, they were not much better.

Meng Yining took the cloth and went to find someone to make clothes, while Xia Wenze slowly cooked lunch at home.

They didn't have much land, and there wasn't much room to work.

The field was full of people. When Meng Yining passed by the Meng family's field, he saw the old lady Meng was instructing the wife in the lobby to do the work. For a while, she felt that her strength was weak, and for a while, she felt that the soil was not straightened. stopped.

Without Meng Yining in the Meng family, the one who confronted the old lady was his cowardly wife in the lobby.I didn't see Meng Yicheng in the field, so I probably didn't know where to hide to be lazy.

There were people in the adjacent fields, and from time to time someone would look up and look this way. Meng Yining knew without thinking that those people wanted to help but were afraid of old lady Meng's mean mouth.

Same as the original owner.

When the original owner was working in the field, the old lady Meng next to her kept talking in the same way. Either she disliked that this place was not done well, or that place was not done well.

Someone next to me couldn't help but say a few words, and Mrs. Meng could go back to others with a dozen words.After a long time, no one will help me say anything.

Meng Yining didn't look at it again, so as not to burn himself.Although the relationship with the Meng family has been severed, in the eyes of most people in the village, the old lady Meng is his elder after all. As long as she doesn't do too much and is said a few words, he'd better not talk back and listen. That's right.Otherwise, those who wanted to help just now will probably be able to point the finger at him in a while.

Although Meng Yining wasn't afraid of these things, he didn't want to confront Mrs. Meng out of nowhere.

There are three people in the village who specialize in making clothes and other chores. One is a widow from the Zhao family. Her husband died a few years ago and she has two young children. There are two elder brothers on the top side of the husband's family and a younger sister on the bottom side, and the family is also poor. Apart from helping to look after some children, they can't do anything else.

The other is a husband from the Xia family. His husband broke his leg when he went to work for others in the town. , so the family rented out the land, and left a piece of land to grow vegetables. On weekdays, the husband relied on the embroidery work in the town to subsidize the family, and he would help the villagers make some clothes if he had nothing to do.

The other one is a husband from the Meng family. His husband was originally a hunter, but when he went hunting in the big green mountain in the village in winter, he encountered a big insect and bit off a hand. He managed to save his life and come back.

I can't hunt anymore, and the remaining arm can't do much work. Not to mention, the health of the injury is not as good as before. Although it can't take medicine for a long time, it is always easier to get sick than ordinary people.In addition, the family has less land to share, and one less income, and has to buy some medicine from time to time, and has three children, so life is very difficult.

This husband's embroidery work is the best in the village, and he also makes some embroidery work on weekdays and sells it to the cloth shop in the town, but the little money he earns is enough to live on. The clothes worn by the three children Many of them were unwanted by others, and there were more patches than Meng Yining's clothes.

Of course, there are many people in the village who are having a hard time, but the other people can at least help to do something to earn money when the kiln is in operation, but the three families can't help it.

What Meng Yining was going to was the husband of the Meng family.

It's also interesting to say that there are three surnames in Shangyao Village, and each surname has a family that has the most difficult life. Now everyone doesn't have to choose, and each family chooses its own.

Meng's husband's house is near the Yantang in the village, four mud-tiled houses.

When Meng Yining came over, Meng's husband was watering his vegetable field, "Brother Amin, I'm busy."

Li Min put down the water ladle in his hand, seeing that it was Meng Yining, he was a little surprised, "Brother Ning, who is this?"

Meng Yining put down the pannier, and opened a piece of cloth covering it, "Brother Amin, I'm here to ask you to make some clothes, and I still have some fabric for you to make three more pairs of shoes."

Li Min quickly washed his hands in the bucket, "Follow me into the house first."

Following Li Min into the house, there was no one at home, so Meng Yining put the basket at the door of the main room.

Li Min was a little embarrassed and asked him to sit down quickly, "You see, there is nothing at home to entertain you."

Meng Yining waved his hand, "No, let me tell you the size of the clothes and shoes to be made first."

"Okay." Li Min took out a carbon stick and brought a wooden board over. Seeing Meng Yining's curiosity, he said to him, "I specially used this to record the dimensions." He couldn't read, either. , I only learned a few simple numbers, which I asked someone to teach me so that I could record the dimensions.

Meng Yining nodded, and said to him: "These three old clothes are changed into something I can wear..." After Meng Yining told him his requirements one by one, seeing that he also wrote them down, he said: "It's probably like this. Brother Amin, how much do you think it is, will it be given to you now or after you are done?"

Li Min said: "Just give it to me when you're done."

"How many days can I get it?" Meng Yining asked.

Li Min said: "These three old clothes have been changed. Brother Ning can come and pick them up tomorrow. You have to wait another two days for the new clothes. The shoes will be ready by then. I'll ask my boy to send them to you."

"Okay." Meng Yining nodded, "Then I won't delay Brother Amin's work."

"Okay." Li Min sent the man out of the courtyard, then turned around and put Budu into the cabinet in the room.These cloths look good, but don't let people get dirty.

Meng Yining turned to Daqingshan with his back basket on his back. Daqingshan was the mountain where the village chief had warned the villagers not to go too deep.

The mountain where people in the village dug soil to make bricks and tiles is called Xiaoqingshan, and the name is simple and easy to remember.

He didn't do anything else, just walked in a little bit.

At the foot of the mountain, there are a few younger sisters and brothers in the village who are digging wild vegetables, and a few older boys are hunting pigweed.

Seeing Meng Yining approaching, several people shouted, "Brother Yining."

"Brother Yining, are you here to dig wild vegetables too?" One of the younger brothers put down the small hoe in his hand and asked.

The original owner used to come here to dig wild vegetables and hunt pigweeds, so he was very familiar with these children.

"No, I'll take a look inside."

The children turned pale with shock, "Brother Yining, you can't go inside."

"Yeah, the village head uncle said that there are big worms eating people inside."

"Yes, brother Ning, we can just dig wild vegetables outside."

Meng Yining patted the head of the child in front of him, "Don't worry, I won't go inside, just wander around those wild fruit trees."

There are several wild fruit trees in Daqing Mountain. Every year when they bear fruit, the children will go there to pick them to satisfy their greed.

"Well, there aren't many wild vegetables and weeds there anymore." One of the children frowned and said, "Last time Xia Zhuang went to dig them all up."

Xia Zhuang is a brother of the same age as Meng Yining in the village, and he has been at odds with Meng Yining since he was born.Because Xia Zhuang liked the original owner's previous engagement partner.

The original owner was soft-tempered, and every time Xia Zhuang robbed wild vegetables, hogweed, etc., he never said anything.

After knowing that the original owner was divorced, he taunted the original owner.

Meng Yining tightened the rope of the basket, "It's okay, I'll go and see first, you can dig here." He wasn't digging wild vegetables, he just wanted to go inside to see if he could catch pheasants or something.

The little guys were still a little worried, Meng Yining waved at them, "Don't worry, I really won't go in." After finishing speaking, he walked in quickly without waiting for the little guys who were too worried. .

Although the original owner is a bit weak, he is a kind person. When he came here to dig wild vegetables and kill pigweeds, he would often help these children dig wild vegetables and kill pigweeds after finishing his own. He has taken care of quite a few children, and most of them remember his kindness.

Seeing Meng Yining disappearing into the woods, several children looked at each other, and one of them, who was only eleven or twelve years old, said, "Do you think brother Yining is a little different?"

"Uh-huh."

The children couldn't tell what was different about Meng Yining, anyway, they just felt different from the old brother Yining.

After entering the woods, Meng Yining looked around, and would dig out branches when he saw familiar wild vegetables. Because it had only rained a few days ago, the soil in the mountains was quite soft.

Meng Yining tried his best to step on the leaves with each foot, so as not to make the dirty shoes more ugly.He is not very good at seeing the footprints of wild animals, but as a space-type supernatural being, even if the original owner's body is holding him back, his perception of the surrounding environment is still more sensitive than ordinary people.

When squatting down to dig wild vegetables again, Meng Yining sensed movement in the grass on the left. When a space blade was thrown out, there was a plop, followed by a faint smell of blood.

Meng Yining's eyes lit up, he got up and pushed through the grass, and saw a hare lying there with its head bleeding.

"I didn't expect it to be cut to the head."

He also just threw the space blade casually, but he didn't expect to be lucky.

Picking up the hare and wiping the blood on the leaves, he wrapped a few big leaves and put them under the basket.Meng Yining glanced at it, then walked a little further.

By the time Meng Yining remembered that it was time to go back for lunch, there were already two hares and three pheasants in the basket.Just a few wild vegetables.

Hurrying out of the woods and heading home, Meng Yining was a little flustered, and lost track of time when he was so excited.

Not long after leaving the forest, I saw Xia Wenze walking past.

Meng Yining hurried over, "I'm sorry, I went for a walk in the forest of Daqing Mountain and forgot the time."

Xia Wenze let go of his worry and didn't blame him. Instead, he reached out to take the pannier behind him, "Why is it so heavy?"

Meng Yining pursed his lips, looked at him carefully, and whispered, "It's a pheasant and a hare."
