Chapter 281: Beautiful flower clothes

May is the time for farming in the northern rural areas. On the way back from Shen Ruolan, you can see industrious farmers bowing to work in every field, digging ridges, digging holes, pips, plowing soil, watering, and weeding. It's in full swing!

It’s already May, and the gradual increase in temperature and intensive work in farming make it hard for everyone to wear jackets. Almost everyone has taken off their jackets and put on thin clothes, which makes them lighter and more flexible. .

Many women who love beauty, in this beautiful season, are trying their best to add a floral dress to themselves and make themselves a beautiful landscape in the field.

Along the way, I saw many women wearing floral clothes. Because they were wearing beautiful floral clothes, they all looked happy and energetic. After all, floral cloth is not a small item of money. If the family can buy them such good clothes, can they not? are you happy!

This year, Kaoshantun has an extremely large number of women wearing floral clothes. Because in the spring, the men in the village helped Shen Ruolan’s house to build a house and they all made money. Later, many people helped her open up wasteland and made a fortune, so Kaoshantun This year is exceptionally wealthy. Many daughters-in-law bought a piece of floral cloth and cut a piece of floral clothes with the money earned by the man. Wearing them beautifully, the heart of the United States almost blossomed!

After Shen Ruolan returned to the village, she saw the colorful flowers in the village. At first she was speechless, but when she saw the happy appearance of the women because of their floral clothes, she felt their joy and happiness from the heart. Her mood also changed.

These women all grew up in this remote mountain village, and they are likely to live here all their lives. After all, their level of knowledge and appreciation is limited. They think flowers are beautiful, and their men think so, so why should she be different? Your thoughts?

What is beautiful and what is ugly is defined by everyone, not by her own aesthetics. Even if she comes from a thousand years later, even if she has a much higher appreciation than theirs, in this specific environment , She must also learn to abide by the rule of the minority obeying the majority and learn to appreciate this simple beauty.

Now that she has decided to take root in the village, she must blend in here and learn to appreciate the beauty that everyone appreciates.

After thinking about it, she no longer felt that the floral clothes were tacky and ugly, and even decided to wait for her to return to the village next time and make a set of floral clothes to better integrate herself into everyone's world.

When returning home, Dong'er's grandmother was cooking midday lunch, and Dong'er and Shouya went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables for the chicks and goose.

The geese and chickens in the family have grown up a lot, and they have become especially edible. The wild vegetables dug by Qiuping’s sister-in-law alone can no longer feed them. So Shouya brought Dong'er every day. Going up the mountain to dig, the three of them worked hard together, barely enough to feed the beasts.

Shen Ruolan said a few words to Grandma Dong'er, and went to the backyard to see the chicken cubs and goose cubs.

I don’t know. I was shocked. It’s only twenty days of effort. The chicken cubs and goose cubs have grown up nearly doubled. The yellow and tender, fluffy **** are not so much now. Huang is not so cute anymore, and some even grow big hairs.

When they saw Shen Ruolan, they thought that Shen Ruolan came to feed them, ran over Baden-Baden with her neck stretched, whispering around her, and the courageous little goose cub, who stepped on her embroidered shoes. Go up, leaving small black marks like maple leaves on her embroidered shoes!

Such big chicken cubs and goose cubs are just like half-sized ones in the family. It is really busy enough to feed these thirty geese and fifty chickens when they can eat. It's okay now, they can still feed them, and when they grow up, they can eat better, I'm afraid that the three of them are digging in the mountains all day, and they won't be able to feed them.

She feels that it's time to put the feeding stuff on the agenda!

The feed she wants to make is actually very simple. It is to breed earthworms, which can contain a lot of protein and are the most nutritious chicken feed.

Chickens and geese eat this kind of feed, not only do they grow up fast, they also love laying eggs!

Earthworms are also very easy to breed. First collect some earthworms, then make a pile of cow dung, find a cool place, put the earthworms under the cow dung, and sprinkle some water every day, the earthworms will reproduce under the cow dung.

When you need feed, you open up the cow dung to collect some. Basically, after this pile of cow dung has been raised with earthworms, there will always be earthworms, because earthworms reproduce very quickly, even if you collect all the earthworms, those The eggs left by earthworms will quickly reproduce small earthworms, and then quickly reproduce more and more, basically inexhaustible!

Of course, you can’t take out the earthworms directly to feed the chickens to the geese, because you don’t know if there are other germs or parasites on them. Before feeding the chickens, you have to soak them in a big basin and wait for them to vomit the mud. Clean them, cook them in a large pot, so that they can scald the germs and parasites on their bodies, then take them out and chop them up, mix them with wild vegetables and rice noodles for the chickens and gooses, they love to eat But that's it!

After all, for chickens and geese, earthworms are meat, which is much better than just eating wild vegetables and rice noodles!

When she came out of the back garden, she went to the former garden to take a look. The crops in the several greenhouses in the former garden were all ripe and almost edible. The cucumbers had reached the length of a thumb, and they could be eaten now, even though they hadn’t grown up yet. Eating is too wasteful, she is a little bit reluctant!

The persimmons are getting tired and hanging down. Many of the big ones have been faintly red lined, but they are not fully ripened. If they want to come, they will not be used for a few days. There are musu persimmons and sugar-mixed persimmons. Saliva...

Fan pepper and cumin are also growing well, and they will be harvested in one month. In the end, the mixed vegetables in the shed were already mature, and they had eaten a lot. Last time when Zhang Eryong and his son helped Shen Ruolan to open up wasteland, they ate them with her every day, so Shen Ruolan changed the way to make them delicious. , I ate a lot in those few days, and now there is still some left, and it’s time to pick it. If you don’t pick it, you will get old. She plans to take a batch of them when she leaves this time, and leave the rest for Shouya and Dong'er to eat, enough time for them to eat the normal vegetables!

In the room, Grandma Dong'er had prepared lunch and called Shen Ruolan to go back for dinner. After Shen Ruolan heard it, she walked out of the former garden and saw that there was a basin of clean water in the yard. The water in it was clean. It should be a new one. , Squat down in front of the basin and wash your hands in this basin.

While washing, Shou Ya and Dong'er are back.

Each of them carried a big basket full of wild vegetables, and the other carried a small basket, which also contained a lot of them. Heizi followed Donger's side and ran across. Now, as if playing very happy.

"Sister Laner——Sister Laner——"

When Dong'er saw Shen Ruolan, he was so happy that he ran to her with joy, ran to her and hugged her.

Shen Ruolan touched Dong'er's little face, still quite moved in her heart. This child, every time she comes back, he is happily like the New Year, as if his relatives who have been away from home for many years have suddenly returned. He is very dependent on her, loves her, and treats her as his own relatives.

However, every time she came back, she never thought about bringing him something delicious and fun. I'm so sorry for the child's affection for her.

Shen Ruolan felt guilty, and quickly searched through the space, trying to find something that the child liked and make up for her guilt, but after searching for a long time, she did not find something suitable for him, so she had to give up.

Let's wait for the opportunity to go to town and buy it for him!

She took the basket on Dong'er's thin arm and patted his head: "Go and wash your hands, we will have dinner later!"

"Ok!"

Dong'er listened to her very much. When she said that, Dong'er agreed and hurried to wash her hands.

Thin girl took off the back basket and placed it in a place where the north wall could not be exposed to the sun. Then she smiled and said to Shen Ruolan: "You came back just right. I made those pairs of shoes. It happened that you left this time. It's time to take it back, and look at the summer, so you can keep it for a change!"

Shen Ruolan grinned: "Thank you Sister Slim, you have worked hard!"

Thin girl also went to wash her hands, and she washed a few in the basin where Dong'er was washing her hands, and while washing, she said, "I don't have a hard time. My life is like a god, so why can I say that I have worked hard? !"

This is definitely what Shou Ya said in the heart. Compared with her previous days, isn't Shou Ya now the days of the gods? There is no need to starve, be beaten, get angry, and do not work like a mule or horse. Lan Ya handed her a big family to her. She can eat whatever she wants at home, and if she eats more and less, she never asks. I often buy her clothes and head flowers, so that she is dressed decently and cleanly. Even the people in the village have a special look at her.

She was content and didn't know what to do, she always felt that she would not change to be a **** in these days!

After washing their hands, a few people went into the house to eat.

Because Shen Ruolan came back, Donger's grandmother specially opened a small stove for her and steamed her a bowl of tender egg custard.

The old lady’s craftsmanship is very good, and the egg custard is steamed at the right time. It is too old to steam for a moment, and it is too tender for a moment. The watery egg custard is still trembling when it is placed in front of her. Too!

Shen Ruolan couldn't help but was aroused by her appetite. She picked up the spoon and was about to start it when she suddenly heard a ‘gu-dong’ from the other side, it was Dong'er who was swallowing her saliva.

Seeing Shen Ruolan looking over, Dong'er said quickly and sensibly, "Sister Lan'er, please eat it. Grandma steamed this for you. I'm not greedy!"

Children will not lie like adults, although they are not greedy, but the look of expectation can't deceive people.

Dong'er rarely eats eggs. Although the chickens in the family lay eggs all over the world, the eggs laid are not young or old, but grandma and Sister Shou said that the eggs belonged to Sister Lan'er, and they all eat and live with Sister Lan'er. Sister Lan'er has kindly raised them, and they have to know that the rewards are. If they can save it, they will try to help Sister Lan'er save. They usually don't eat good things like eggs!

There is no need to ask, just by looking at the two full baskets of eggs on the ground, you will know what kind of life these people are living at home.

Shen Ruolan was very helpless. She said that they had several times, and asked them to eat well and eat more when they were at home. But when they come back today, the food at home will reduce the amount of rice noodles and millet, and the rice and white noodles are basically gone. Move it. The vegetables in the big shed of the former garden are not scarce at all, and there are a lot of eggs and goose eggs.

These few people eat rice noodles, carrots and cabbage at home all day long. Good things are a bit reluctant to eat!

Every time they talk about them, they both say that they can eat and wear warmth and live comfortably now. I don’t know how many times better than they used to be. They are already content and dare not spoil good things. I'm afraid of losing my life!

Hey, it seems that it is not easy to change their minds!

Shen Ruolan dug a spoonful of egg custard and put it in Dong'er's bowl, "Come on, Dong'er, you eat too!"

Looking at the trembling, golden egg custard, Dong'er hesitated for a moment. She didn't know whether to listen to Sister Lan'er's words to eat, or to listen to her grandma's words and not eat the precious things from her sister's house!

He looked at his grandmother and then at Sister Lan'er, his small face looked tangled.

Shen Ruolan told him, "Dong'er eats a lot of good food in order to grow up quickly. Only when he grows up can he earn money to support her grandmother. If he doesn't eat well, Dong'er will grow very slowly, and it will take a long, long time. Growing up."

Dong'er listened, bit his lip, and finally made up his mind, holding a spoon to eat.

He ate very slowly, taking small bites, reluctant to swallow it in his mouth, and only took a bite for a long time, as if he could not bear the delicacy on the tip of his tongue being swallowed into his stomach. Shen Ruolan looked distressed.

Hey, it seems that I really have to tell them to change their minds as soon as possible, and they can no longer save so much in the future. It hurts to see children like this!

She dug another spoonful and put it in Dong'er's grandmother's bowl, and said: "You should eat too, eat more to be healthy, and to see Dong'er grow up, so that Dong'er can respect you when he grows up. what!"

Grandma Dong'er saw that Shen Ruolan had scooped all the egg custard into her bowl, and it was too unhygienic to scoop it out! So even if you are reluctant to eat, you can't spoil the good things, so you can only smile and say: "Okay, okay, I eat, I eat!" So he lowered his head and started to eat.

"And your thin girl, how can you just work and not eat well every day, look at you, you have lost weight these days." Shen Ruolan scooped another spoonful of egg custard into the thin girl's bowl.

When Shouya heard that Shen Ruolan said that she was thinner, she hurriedly touched her face and said, "No, I am obviously fatter. I am a few dozen jins fatter than before I came to your house!"

It is true that Shou Ya has gained several tens of jins than before, and she is not as clumsy as before. Now she is wearing the clothes Lan Ya bought, and people often praise her for being handsome.

Because of this, she also had some confidence in her appearance.

However, like Shen Ruolan, she is most afraid of hearing people say that she is thin. The self-confidence that she builds up so easily is built on fat; hey, if she becomes thin again, she will become the original thin girl again. Doesn't it still have to be like that in the past?

Therefore, she is afraid to hear others say she is thin, just like a modern fat girl is afraid to hear others say she is fat!

Seeing her nervousness, Shen Ruolan smiled and said, "If you are afraid of losing weight, eat more delicious food. It will not only grow meat, but also make you beautiful!"

Shouya knew it. Lanya said this deliberately in order to coax her to eat egg custard, so she snorted and said, "Don't worry about serving it to us. You can eat it yourself. It will be cold for a while. It's not tasty."

"Okay, I will eat too. Let's all eat it. It's fun to share good things with everyone!" Shen Ruolan put the bowl of egg custard in the center of the table for everyone to eat, and she also dug a spoonful of it herself Put it in your mouth.

Well, let alone, grandma Dong'er's craftsmanship is really good. The steamed egg custard is not only good-looking, but also tastes good, tender, slippery, and the heat is right!

Shen Ruolan couldn't help but lifted her thumb up and praised: "Grandma, your old man's custard is really steamed, and the craftsmanship is comparable to that of a chef in a restaurant!"

Grandma Dong'er laughed and said proudly: "Of course, I think I was the cook in the backyard of Master Yin's house in Qingzhou Mansion back then!"

Shen Ruolan was taken aback. She had never heard Grandma Dong'er talk about her life experience, and now listening to her words, it seems that their grandparents and grandchildren have great backgrounds!

Now that she had talked about it, Dong'er's grandma simply said her own life experience, but her life experience was a bit bumpy, which sounded sad.

It turned out that both of their grandparents and grandchildren were slaves, family-born slaves of Master Yin in Qingzhou Prefecture. Just a few months after Dong'er was born, Father Dong'er went out with Master Yin in the house and was assassinated by someone who assassinated Master Yin. The gangster was stabbed to death. The adults were grateful that Dong'er's father died because of him, so they released Dong'er, his mother and his grandparents, restored their good status, and rewarded them with fifty taels of silver to settle down.

Although he recovered his good status, Grandpa Dong’er couldn’t bear the pain of losing his father. Since the death of Dong’er’s father, he has been sick and ill. After taking a lot of medicine, he has not been able to help him. He has been sick for more than a year. After spending a lot of money, I finally let go.

Dong'erniang was still young, probably because she didn't want to delay her youth by guarding an old woman and a son with open pants. On a dark and windy night, she ran away with the money left in her house. Grandma Dong'er heard that Donger's mother went to When Nong'an ran away, they found Nong'an all the way.

The old lady felt that the daughter-in-law was unwilling to take care of her old lady, but Dong'er was her own flesh and blood, she couldn't abandon it. She herself was getting older, and she was afraid that someday there would be something short and long, and she would leave Dong'er alone. The lonely and no one takes care of her, so I wanted to find her, give Dong'er to her, and then leave alone by himself, just inquiring all the way to find her with this idea.

It’s a pity that I didn’t wait to find someone, so I ran out of entanglement. There was no way, the grandparents and grandson began to beg for life. It was so hard and hard, and almost died here. Fortunately, I met Shen Ruolan, otherwise I really don’t know. Can you live till now?

Speaking of sadness, the old lady stopped talking, sighed a long, lowered her head and ate silently, her face looked lonely and lonely.

Shen Ruolan felt sour after hearing what happened to her. The old lady was pitiful enough. She lost her son and father in her later years. The two most important people in her life were gone, and her daughter-in-law took away her wealth and ran away. The next young grandson, who is so ignorant, has to rely on her, a god-fathered old lady, to support her. If it weren't for raising Dong'er, the old lady would definitely lose the courage to live.

"Grandma, don't be sad, you still have me!" Dong'er saw grandma's sadness, and hurriedly leaned her little head into her arms to comfort the elderly.

Seeing that grandson is so sensible, Grandma Dong'er wiped the corners of her eyes with satisfaction, and said, "Grandma is not uncomfortable, why would it be uncomfortable for grandma to have Donger? If it weren't for Donger, grandma wouldn't want to live? Go see you early Dad went with your grandpa..."

Shen Ruolan said, "Dong'er is so sensible, he will definitely respect you when he grows up. You have to live well and wait for his blessing in the future!"

Grandma Dong'er smiled and said, "Yes, I have to live well. I can't afford to die if I have him. In addition to meeting you and a thin girl, I can live on this day, and more and more The more rushing..."

Thin girl is not very good at talking, but seeing the old lady's sadness, she still said stupidly, "Don't be sad, we will definitely take care of you!"

This is the heartfelt words of Shou Ya. From childhood to age, she has never felt the care and favor of her elders, but after the old lady came, she finally made Shou Ya feel the happiness and warmth that she had always dreamed of. This short period of more than a month During the time, she was cared and cared for by the old lady meticulously, pampered and hurt like her own granddaughter, so that the thin girl has unknowingly regarded the old lady as her own relative...

The old lady looked up at the three people in front of her, smiled, and said, "Yes, I can have the three of you in the second half of my life, and God treats me well!"
