In mid-8th month of the lunar calendar, the summer sowing has already ended, and the autumn harvest has not yet begun. In this slack season, the Yao family finally got Yao Maoyun's wedding, and they married the daughter of Liu Laohan's family in Shizigou.

This daughter is also the eldest daughter in the family. She is eighteen this year and looks good and works well. She is very good at housework or farm work.

Originally, with her character and appearance, it should not be difficult to find a similar family. The reason why she was 18 years old before getting married was really dragged down by her family. The remote Shizigou was not even very serious. His family gave birth to another string of babies. Others were afraid that she would take care of her parents' home after she got married, so she took things from her in-laws' home to her parents' home.

Aunt Liu didn't even come to ask the question until she was 16 or 17. Many people in their village said that she would definitely be a respite for others in the future, and some people said that she wanted to be a concubine. There were even some unfair old bachelors and perverts who made up their minds.

Who would have thought that she would be attracted to Yao Dalang of Xipo Village in the end? The richest village in Xipo Village is. Who would not want to marry to Xipo Village? Among the few young men in Xipo Village, except for Luo Sanlang, Yao Dalang is the most favored.

On the day of the wedding banquet, there was joy in the village and outside the village. Luo Yongyin was still in filial piety, so he did not join in the fun.

I heard that the Shizigou was too far away and the mountain road was steep, and the ox cart could not be reached at all. After the wedding team went, the bride followed them and walked down the mountain with two legs. She walked all the way to the road at the foot of the mountain before she got on the Yao family's ox cart.

These days, I have never been in a sedan chair. Luo used the big red sedan chairs in my memory to have no veils. The bride did not wear red clothes, but wore a green dress and covered her cheeks with a round fan.

Yao Dalang was wearing a robe and stood together, and was also a young couple with a refreshing spirit.

If you are in a wealthy family, you will buy red clothes for the groom and wear green clothes for the bride. This is the legendary red man and green woman. However, for the Yao family, a brightly colored red robe is still unbearable and unpractical.

In a small village like them, such an arrangement is already very decent. Most of the people in their village got married in short brown clothes. When it was even more difficult, some people couldn't even get a decent fabric.

The Yao family now has land and land, and they also do tofu trading. In addition, his yard has always provided food and accommodation for some vendors because living in the village is cheaper than living in the Xu family's guest house. Many small vendors who often come and go still choose to live in the village.

Even if you can only earn a few cents a day, it is quite considerable over time. After all, it is not easy for every household to make some money in these years. For example, in Shizigou, there are almost no other channels for money except for grain, poultry and eggs, so every household is very poor.

A banquet was held by the Yao family, but the Luo family was unable to go because the mourning period was not over. First, it was unethical and lawful, and secondly, it was not good to the master.

But even if there is no one, the gift will always come. There is no saying that money will be given at this time. At least there is no such thing as in their village. When everyone goes to the wedding banquet, most of the food, rice, flour and eggs are taken.

Luo Yong and Erniang and the others steamed a pot of date bean cakes and delivered them. When the meal started, they also sent them a few hot dishes, which were quite a lot, so Si Niang didn't have to cook that night.

Speaking of which, Si Niang has been much more relaxed recently, because the pig farmer whom Yu said earlier wanted to introduce to his family was already on duty at this time. As a result, Peng Er freed up his hands and just helped the Luo family yard. The burden on the shoulders of the Luo family siblings suddenly became lighter.

·

"My grandma, there are still jujube bean cakes today." In the evening, a young girl over ten years old came out of the Luo family's yard with a covered basket woven with sorghum stalks, and trotted down the slope all the way to the front of the pigpen. She lowered her voice and said to the woman who was working with excitement.

"Let it go in the house first, and then I will clean up the place and have a meal." The woman smiled.

"My mom, hurry up." The little girl kept urging.

"That's fine." There was not much life at first, and the big and small pigs in the Luo family had been fed three times today. At this time, she just wanted to clean up the pigpen around it.

The mother and daughter were the ones introduced by the matchmaker Yu. When they first came, Luo Yong was a little hesitant, so that such a clean mother and daughter would live next to the pigpen every day and do the work of feeding pigs. He always felt that it was a bit inappropriate.

But then matchmaker Yu also said that Zheng was a quick-witted person, and said that it was very difficult for her to support four children in the family alone. Luo Yong thought about it and nodded in the end.

In the past few days, Luo Yong invited a few Dinghu people to build two adobe houses on the side of his yard, facing the pigpen, and next to the exterior wall of the yard. After all, there is not even a fire kang in the warehousing room there, and it is still enough to live there now. When winter comes, it will be difficult to live in again.

As for letting the mother and daughter live in the Luo family yard, Luo Yong never thought about it. Zheng may not want to live in it very much. After all, he still has a teenage daughter. If there are any bad gossips, he will not be able to find a good family in the future.

"My grandma, this jujube bean cake costs one cent per dollar. It will take several days on Friday. I heard that a small plate of it costs ten cents at the Xu family's guesthouse." While eating, the little girl was chewing the food in her mouth, and her eyes seemed to stick to the jujube bean cake, and she couldn't even pull it off.

"If you like to eat, eat both pieces." Zheng slowly picked up chopsticks and put them in the bowl. Her body was a little deficient due to long-term malnutrition. She had been working all day today, and she had no strength at this time.

"...Let's leave it to my sister and brother. I've eaten well in the past few days." The girl thought for a while, shook her head and said.

"How can they eat?" Zheng was both funny and a little relieved.

"Let the Dinghu people help us get over there. They have people coming to the city every day," said her daughter.

"Don't cause trouble with others. If they fail to pass the letter, they don't know if they come out to take it. Could it be that they have to send the things to their home? How can they know where our family live?" The Luo family's food is really good, and Zheng has never had the idea of ​​giving it a little food to the eldest daughter and young son in the city. It's just that he is not familiar with those people. It would be fine if he just took it along the way. If he still had to send it to her home, it would be too much.

"..." The little girl stopped talking.

She and Ah Niang worked for the Luo family in Xipo Village, and they didn't have to worry about feeding pigs. The three meals a day were prepared by the Luo family. Just put their dishes in a basket in advance and carry them over. When the Luo family cooked, they would make one more portion for their mother and daughter, and they would eat whatever the Luo family ate.

These days she has been full every day and has eaten a lot of good things. Today she has also caught up with a wedding banquet. Not only are there dishes at the banquet, but also the date bean cake she has been thinking about. What are the sisters and the others eating in the city? It is probably a mixed noodles and pancake dipping sauce, and at most it can be cooked with some soup.

"When you stay here for a month, I will change to my second mother to come." After a while, Zheng said.

"Huh?" The little girl didn't react. They didn't say that earlier. Ah Niang said that Er Niang was about to get married, so she wouldn't show up outside. With her at home watching Saburo and Wulang, Ah Niang could rest assured. The reason she brought herself here was because she was young but had the strength to help with work. She was a girl again, so she could sleep in the same bed with Ah Niang. Why did she change her mind now?

"Tell her to eat better so that she can find someone in the future." Zheng said.

"Oh!" The little girl grinned and agreed readily. The food in the Luo family was delicious, but as long as they were sisters and sisters in the family, no matter who ate it, she would not feel at a disadvantage. Anyway, it was impossible for them to come all over, and my grandmother also said that if so many children come together, the master would definitely not want them.

"You can eat these two cakes today." Zheng was also very pleased that his daughter was so sensible.

"You eat it too, my mother, there are brown sugar, red dates and eggs, which can be replenished." Their children have never had the habit of eating alone.

After dinner, the mother and daughter cleaned the dining table, washed the dishes, washed the dishes, and took a moment to take a break.

The little girl was heartless and helped with some work today. She ate full at night and lay down on the bed. After a while, she fell asleep. Zheng had something to do in her heart and couldn't sleep for a while.

There are some things that Zheng did not tell her daughter. When the wedding team entered the village today, she also saw that Aunt Liu was a lucky person. She would not have to live a hard life in the future with a young man like Yao Maoyun.

The Yao family is very good. They originally planted a lot of fields. In the past two years, they have made a lot of money. They even have a ox cart. In addition to Yao Maoyun, there is also a young brother below. He is only twelve years old this year. I heard that there was a second brother, one or two years younger than Yao Maoyun. The two brothers worked together all day long and had a good relationship. Unfortunately, they were buried in a mudslide two years ago. If not, his family's life would definitely be more prosperous than it is now. It is also because of this. Old Man Yao no longer scolded people. He used to be a bad temper...

Seeing that Aunt Liu had such a good marriage, Zheng was inevitably a little moved. When she took her eldest daughter over, she would be able to find a good family in Xipo Village, thank God.

She knew that her daughter was not the best. She was a little girl and had a smile, while the older one was already sad and a restrained person. She was born in a family like them. It was rare to find a good family.

There is no way, this is fate...

When they really couldn't survive, the older one was afraid that she would sell her. In the end, Zheng sold her uncle's eldest daughter. She, the aunt, sold her niece by herself, saying that she was the oldest in the family, so she sold her, but she was actually not selfish.

That was a smart girl, and she seemed to have expected it, and she never complained to her from beginning to end.

Since the girl left, her younger brother has become taciturn. She used to be a child who was so kind to call out all day long. Even if she lost her mother, she would smile all day long.

The same is true for her own elder daughter. Since that incident, she has become dull. But she cannot. She is always here. Thinking about the past, Zheng himself was not as innocent as ever, but now she looks like what she has become.

Now, there are only four children left in their family. The oldest one is Zheng's eldest daughter. This year, the fourteenth year, called Second Lady. The siblings and sisters have been living with the children of the uncle's family, so the rankings are also the same, and the men and women are not separated.

The second lady came down to Sanlang, the youngest son of the uncle's family, and she was ten years old this year. Sanlang came down to Siniang, the second daughter of Zheng, a few months younger than Sanlang, and ten years old. Finally, she was Wulang, the youngest son of Zheng, and she was eight years old this year.

In order to support these children, Zheng also sacrificed his life to go out to work. In recent years, many foreign merchants have come to Lishi County. Most of these people are away from home without bringing their female relatives. They can also solve the problem of eating in food shops outside. Washing laundry has become a big problem. Some women from poor families in the city make money by helping people wash clothes.

By the Sanchuan River, you can see many laundry women every day. Since the beginning of this spring, Zheng has been doing the work for half a year, and he has earned a little, but it is very hard. He is soaked in the cold water every day, and his body is still a little unable to eat or drink.

Matchmaker Yu is a enthusiastic person. She helped her find such a good job. Although raising pigs is also a physical job, it is much better than helping people wash clothes and earns more. If she can continue to do it, her life will be very stable.

The boss is even better. Although there are no adults in their family, their brothers and sisters can live a good life and treat them very generously. Unlike some families in the city who always shout at the employer, this is something that has never happened in the Luo family.

And Peng Er is really a lucky person. Although he bought it, he can eat and live with the Luo brothers and sisters, and he is just like a Luo family.

Zheng thought of her niece and wondered if she could be sold to a good family like Peng Er and be kind to her master.

I also thought that if I kept working in the Luo family for a long time, I would have some affection. If I could find her niece in the future, could I ask Luo Sanlang to ask him to help me buy the person back? I heard that this is how Mr. Wang’s eldest son bought it back.
