Chuntao was embarrassed, Yang Hua said she was her cousin, but in fact she was only a few days younger.
I have never been a matchmaker, so I just started to talk a few random words, but I really couldn’t find the words to say.
She has a straightforward temper, and now that Song Liyun asked Yang Hua, she didn't have to beat around the bush: "Yang Hua, this is Daping's sister."
Yang Hua stood up, wiped the grass clippings from her sleeves and trouser legs, nodded to Song Liyun and said, "Hello, Miss Song!"
Song Liyun looked at her with a smile: "Sister Yang Hua, I heard from Sister-in-law Chuntao that not only can you plant several acres of land per person at home, but you also cut grass and raise chickens and ducks. You go out at dawn every day and don't go home until dark."
When Song Liyun talked about her hard work, Yang Hua showed no pride or sadness on her face, only a look of relief: "When my parents left, I promised to take good care of my younger siblings and grow up. These are what I must do."
Song Liyun smiled: "My brother said the same thing and did the same thing."
Yang Hua stared at her steadily for a moment, then turned to look at Song Zhenping who was bending down to cut rice in the field. He suddenly lowered his eyes and picked up a sickle from the ground: "The sun is about to rise, let's cut rice!"
After saying that, he walked past Song Liyun and went directly to the ridge where he stood next to Song Zhenping at the edge of the field. Without looking around, he just immersed himself in his work.
Her movements were fast and deft, and she quickly cut the rice and passed Song Zhenping.
Wherever the sickle reached, half of the rows of rice that Song Zhenping wanted to cut were harvested.
Song Liyun and Chuntao were still standing by the haystack.
Seeing Yang Hua leave, Chuntao hurried to Song Liyun and muttered: "Miss Song, my cousin usually doesn't talk much. She says what she says and does what she says. She is usually a bit irritable, but
Work carefully!"
Seeing how nervous she was, as if she was marrying her own daughter, Song Liyun pursed her lips and said happily: "Very good!"
"Really? You don't dislike her?" Chuntao opened her eyes wide and mentioned Yang Hua to the Song family. She actually didn't know what she was doing.
Although Song Zhenping is a little thinner and still has leg problems, all the children he will give birth to in the future will be soldiers.
Even if life is easy now, people who are truly considerate of their daughters still have to hesitate. After all, the future of their own children and grandchildren is at stake.
But the Song family has a large house and a simple family. The most important thing is that they will not be short of money in the future, which is better than living in the mountains without food and clothing.
Chuntao thought that Yanghua had been exposed to wind and sun all year round, and she was too old to be as delicate as a girl. When they proposed marriage in the mountains, they would be an old widower in their forties or fifties, so she tried to say it once.
I didn't expect that Song Zhenping would want to meet him after hearing this, and now Miss Song doesn't mean to dislike it.
Song Liyun squinted at the field. The rice harvested by Yang Hua had already passed Song Zhenping and kept moving forward.
In front of Song Zhenping, there was a large gap in the rice row, and it was like a hug coming towards him.
Song Zhenping's sickle passed by, leaving behind flat and fertile soil.
Yang Hua is tall and thin, even taller than Song Zhenping, with regular features and clear and bright eyes.
Just because she has been working in the fields all year round, her complexion is yellow and black, her hair is a little withered, and her hands have thick calluses.
She is indeed a hard-working village girl.
Her appearance alone is pretty good, but now Song Liyun just wants to know what's going on with her younger siblings and that sister-in-law.
Family disputes cannot be resolved with one sentence: who is right and who is wrong. If Yang Hua is used to being the master of the family, it is possible that her newly married sister-in-law may not be able to accept it.
Marrying a wife is not just about marrying a person, she also has a foundation for growth and an environment that she cannot escape.
Seeing that Song Liyun did not dislike Yang Hua, Chuntao took the initiative to talk about her younger siblings.
Compared to Song Zhenping who stammered a few words, Chuntao naturally spoke in detail.
"When Yang Hua's parents died, Yang Hua was fourteen years old, Yang Ji was twelve years old, and her younger sister was ten years old.
She is the eldest sister and has been diligent since she was a child. At that time, people began to propose marriage to her.
Let her get married, and the younger brothers and sisters in the family can grow up and eat a lot of food in the village."
"But Yang Hua disagreed. She said that her younger brothers and sisters were still young and it would be better to work hard on her own instead of begging for food from others, so she took the two younger ones to farm."
"Yang Ji is an only son in the family. He has never done any work when his parents were alive. He usually relies on his two daughters for work. Now that his parents are dead, he has to work in the field. But after all, he is young, and the family still relies on Yang Hua."
"Everyone in the village said that this family couldn't survive, but Yang Hua said that she would show it to others. She was very strict with her younger brothers and sisters. No matter how hungry they were, they were not allowed to take other people's things. She said that eating people has short mouths and taking hands is short.
A person's kindness will last a lifetime."
"In the first one or two years, the family couldn't open the pot, and the three siblings were so hungry that they closed the door and cried in the room."
Having said this, Chuntao pinched the corner of her clothes and rubbed her eyes. The harvest in the mountainous area was meager, and the children had no other output. Just relying on farming would be short of a month's worth of food.
"Later on, Yang Hua worked day and night, and the family gradually became better. When he got Yang Ji a bride-price, and prepared a dowry for his younger sister to get married in the same month, after completing these two tasks, Yang Hua fell seriously ill.
I couldn't get up from the bed for several months, and I still paid the doctor to take medicine. I was in a deficit when I first started living, and I owed money to the village."
"At first, Yang Ji's wife didn't say anything about the unmarried old lady at home.
But Yang Hua's illness delayed her ability to work for several months. As time went by, her sister-in-law's family became unhappy.
I used to think that Yang Ji had no father or mother, and that a married woman would be able to run the family. But the eldest sister-in-law takes care of everything and spends a lot of money on medical treatment. Then there will be an extra old woman, and Yang Ji's children will have to pay for it in the future.
Auntie takes care of herself.
In addition, there were some gossips in the village that Yang Ji's wife had to wash her aunt's clothes in cold water every day.
My sister-in-law’s family came to the door and scolded Yang Hua once.”
"Yang Ji was not at home at the time. When he came back and heard about it, he quarreled with his wife.
The sister-in-law ran back to her parents' house angrily, but Yang Hua took her brother to invite her three times before she came back.
"After my sister-in-law came back, Yang Hua said she wanted to separate the family, and she would repay her medicine money and the money she borrowed for two weddings herself.
She also said that she had fulfilled her promise in front of her parents, and from now on the two families would live their own lives without any grudges.
With his daughter-in-law on one side and his sister on the other, Yang Ji was caught in a dilemma.
He couldn't let his sister live apart and die alone, so he promised to marry her, and this marriage could only be what she wanted."
Song Liyun pursed her lips and let out a long breath. At this time, she had only one thought: admiration!
Not everyone has a golden finger, and not everyone has the ability to be a time-travelling woman, but this Yang Hua is really a great heroine. She is a child herself, and she has raised two children. She is also able to deal with troubles clearly, and she has a good character.
.
The problem she was most worried about was gone, it just depends on what Song Zhenping thinks.
At noon, the two families went home to have dinner.
Originally, Song Liyun said that she would have this meal at Baolinju. Since Yun Niang was at home, the food was ready-made.
But the Zhang family and his son refused, saying that the Song family had little rice and could not take advantage.
Chuntao winked at Song Liyun: "My mother-in-law is also cooking at home, let's talk about it in the afternoon!"
This is when the two families went back to inquire about the situation.
