Listening to Daughter-in-law

When Qin Yan went to Zheng Orion's house, Zheng Orion was not at home. Zhang Dahu rushed Qin Yan to Zheng Orion's house and left in a hurry. He had to go to the county town to coax his wife.Didn't Qin Yan envy him when he saw his back going away?Forget it, one has one's own destiny, and it's not easy to escape from the sea of ​​suffering in such a humble life like mud, what more can one expect from a happy and happy family?The top priority now is to take good care of your health. Sixi Village is really good. When you recover from your illness, you can find a job and buy a piece of land to build a house.I hope that Butcher Zheng is a sensible and easy-going person who can let me live here until then.Qin Yan put his small package into the place where Zhang Dahu put the quilt, simple furniture, Qin Yan looked up and down, this is his temporary home.Sweep the kang on the floor, tidy up the cabinets, and put the clothes and quilts in.When he went out, he was facing a room. The door was unlocked and wide open. Qin Yan saw the mess inside. After thinking for a long time, he went in to help him tidy up the room. Those blackened quilts, clothes, etc. Take it out and soak it in water in the yard.Tidy up Butcher Zheng's room, and tidy up the lobby room.Butcher Zheng’s house is very simple in structure, consisting of three big houses, one on the left and one on the right. For cooking, there is a stove in the middle of the big house, and a crooked cabinet next to it, with a few notched bowls on it. A bamboo stick resembling chopsticks whose original color cannot be seen.There is a sack next to the cabinet, and there are ground beans in the sack. I think this is the staple food.Qin Yan sighed, this man's life is too rough, boil some hot water and soak the bowls and chopsticks.Coming to the yard, the yard of Zheng Orion's house is not big and there are not many things. There is a bamboo rack for drying leather on the left, a well on the right, and a thatched toilet at the back of the yard.The fence in the yard is made of wood, very strong, and mushrooms grow in some places.Qin Yan wanted to ask Zheng Liehu if he could plant something in the yard.Tidy up the yard, wash the clothes, wash the bowls and chopsticks, and straighten the cabinets. It seems that it is getting dark soon, and there are only a few things that can be eaten after sorting out, ground beans, a small sack of brown rice, a few A piece of air-dried jerky with a black appearance, Qin Yan couldn't resist eating it.There are still a few jugs of wine.After thinking about it for a while, Qin Yan took out a jade hairpin from his luggage. He had no money on him, so he could exchange this jade hairpin with Aunt Yan for some food.

When he arrived at Aunt Yan's house, Qin Yan told him what he wanted, and Aunt Yan packed him a bag of round-grained rice, half a bag of brown rice, a few eggs, and some fresh vegetables from the yard, "Zheng Orion lives by hunting. , the land that was originally given to his family has not been planted since his mother died, and the child does not often walk around with us. No one knows what he lacks or needs. You are a good boy, two people live together Together we have to take care of each other." Qin Yan wanted to give the jade hairpin to Aunt Yan, but Aunt Yan blocked her back. "If you plan to live in Sixi Village, plant the fields of Zheng Liehu's family. Young people are not afraid of hard work. God will always reward them with food. This thing is worthless. If you plant a field in the future, you will return it later. That's it." Qin Yan took the things and struggled to hold back the tears in his eyes, withered since childhood, how could he have enjoyed such a simple human heart and care.

Back home, Qin Yan was in a hurry to cook.He can do it, but he can do very little. Goulan teaches you to sing, dance, and seduce people, but he can't teach you to cook.Qin Yan didn't know when Zheng Orion would come back, so he cooked a pot of salty ground bean porridge, fried a plate of vegetables, and boiled an egg.When everything was done, it was completely dark, and Qin Yan realized that he had forgotten where to put the candle.He beat his head in annoyance, and could only surround the firelight of the stove.After a while, Qin Yan heard rustling sounds in the yard, and Qin Yan looked nervously at the door. There was a black shadow at the open door. Qin Yan swallowed with difficulty, and the black shadow at the door seemed to be watching too. Looking at Qin Yan beside the fire, Qin Yan said: "Zheng, brother Zheng, I didn't find where the candle is placed?" Then, the room lit up, and Qin Yan became more courageous. He breathed out quietly, and secretly looked at Zheng Orion. His face with sharp water chestnut angles was unexpectedly handsome.Why didn't they get married at such an age.Qin Yan didn't know about Zheng Orion's pitiful past.Zheng Liehu looked back at Qin Yan, and Qin Yan came back to his senses, "Oh, it's time to eat." He brought the hot food on the stove to the table, and the bowl Qin Yan tried to find was a better one. Sitting on the table and eating in silence, Qin Yan only ate a bowl of porridge and some green vegetables, and pushed the rest to Zheng Orion. Zheng Orion pushed the egg over silently, Qin Yan hurriedly pushed it, "I don't eat boiled eggs " Zheng Orion looked up at him, "I really don't want to eat." Qin Yan quickly explained.Zheng Orion peeled the egg and ate it in silence, "Brother Zheng, my name is Qin Yan. What is your name? I heard they called you Zheng Orion." Qin Yan asked. "Zheng Er," Zheng Orion said.Huffing and puffing, drinking the porridge.Qin Yan felt that it was boring, this person had too little talk, and he had no interest in talking.Qin Yan had just put down his chopsticks when Zheng Er finished eating.Qin Yan cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, and asked, "Brother Zheng, your field is not planted, right? You see, the land is deserted, and it is also deserted. Can you plant it for me?" "Yes." come prey.Qin Yan looked at his back in doubt, he meant that he knew or agreed.No, you have to tell me where your land is, and how to plant it?Holding a lot of doubts, he turned his head and walked back when he saw the bloody scene of Zheng's second-hand raising and falling knives, boiled water, took a bath and went to sleep.

The next day, Qin Yan woke up contentedly after sleeping three poles in the sun. It was so comfortable—he finally slept in.When I went to wash at the well, I saw Zheng Er was making rabbit skins. Qin Yan said hello. There was porridge on the table. Qin Yan was not in the habit of eating breakfast, but seeing that Zheng Er had already made it, he ate some. .After eating, Zheng Er gave him a hoe. Qin Yan was stunned, what was this for? The land appeared in front of my eyes.Qin Yan's eyes widened again, when did it come out, it was just a patch of weeds when it came yesterday.Seeing Zheng Er put down the burden, Qin Yan leaned forward, "Brother Zheng, is this your land?" Zheng Er nodded, took the hoe in Qin Yan's hand, and started hoeing the ground, digging a hole and then moving forward Go, walked for a while and looked back, seeing Qin Yan still standing there stupidly, he said: "Put the germinated ground beans in the pit, and cover the soil with your feet." Qin Yan came back to his senses, "Oh, oh oh." Ending the frame, I didn't move, so I put some ground beans in my clothes and ran to the field. I ran in a hurry, fell down, got up quickly, and went to see the ground beans first. Well, not crushed.

Qin Yan lowered his head and threw the ground beans into the pit, covered the soil with his feet, the next one, threw the ground beans, covered the soil, and the next one... Qin Yan was in a hurry at first, but later found that Zheng Er was waiting for him. The heart is no longer panicked, the movements are becoming more and more proficient, and they are all finished before the sun is at noon.Zheng Er walked ahead with an empty load, and put his hoe in the load.Qin Yan walked behind empty-handed, his clothes were dirty, his pretty face was also dirty, although he was tired, Qin Yan didn't feel hard at all.He said enthusiastically from behind: "Brother Zheng, what do you want to grow with the remaining piece of soil?" "Peanuts." Zheng Er said without looking back. "Peanuts? Peanuts are good, Brother Zheng, why don't we plant rice?" "There are no paddy fields." "Oh... then shall we plant peanuts this afternoon?" "Tomorrow." "Why?" In the city." Qin Yan silenced, he didn't want to go to the county town.What's so good about being prosperous, the filth is hidden under the prosperous, where is the freedom that comes from the mountains and the wild.

In the afternoon, Zheng Erkang went to the county seat with his skin on his back. Earlier, he used his eyes to indicate to Qin Yan what he wanted to buy, and Qin Yan hurriedly said that it was for taking a bath.I only use clean water to take a bath, and I always feel that I can't wash it clean.Zheng Er nodded to express his understanding.In the afternoon Qin Yan washed his clothes and lay down comfortably on the kang to take a nap.In the afternoon, Aunt Yan came to call Qin Yan, carrying a few bags of things in her hand, "Here are some rapeseeds, you can plant them in the open space in front of the house, and they will be eaten after a month or two." Qin Yan took the nod and listened to what Aunt Yan said about which seeds were which, and what to pay attention to when planting them. "When I came here, I saw that Zheng Orion's land had been prepared, and he moved very quickly. In the early morning, Zheng Er came to our house to ask who else had beans. It happened that our house still had beans, so I gave them to him. It’s too late for you to plant, and you may get some harvest by planting beans now, what are you going to plant for the rest of the land?” Qin Yan helped Aunt Yan pour a glass of water, Qin Yan also used to boil the water before drinking, He didn't know if it was healthy or not, but he was used to the smell of boiled water. "Grow peanuts, right?" "Peanuts are also pretty good, and they sell for as much money as corn. Anyway, Zheng Orion's family doesn't rely on that land for food. He goes up to the mountains every day to hunt, sell game, and sell leather. The expenses of the previous family of five were spent. At that time, who in the village didn’t want to marry their daughter and sister to him, if not.” “What else?” Qin Yan asked curiously.Aunt Yan glanced at him, smiled and patted herself, "Look at my mouth, what are you talking about, Zheng Orion is also a good boy who I grew up with." Qin Yan said: "Aunt Yan, tell me As for me, I don’t have a daughter or sister to marry him anyway, so you just tell me.” Aunt Yan was forced to be anxious, so she had to say: “It’s nothing, it’s Zheng Orion, alas, Orion is doing killing I'm afraid of losing my family." Qin Yan chuckled, what is this?Aunt Yan also laughed, isn't it nothing?
