Entering the village along the bumpy road, I saw a thin but energetic old woman standing in front of the three adobe houses from a distance. She kept looking at them, and the little girl was even sweeter.
He called out to grandma and rushed over first.
When Chu Yiqing got closer, he could see the old woman's attire clearly. She was wearing a light green cloth skirt. There was nothing special about her, but her eyes were like that woman's, unusually dark and bright. When she saw Chu Yiqing,
When Yiqing came, she was greeted with a smile, but there was a touch of grace in her demeanor, like that of a lady.
"Mom, this is Sister Chu, from the capital!" Before the old lady could say anything, the woman came up to introduce her.
"Capital?" The old lady pondered for a moment. The smile on her face was even gentler, but her eyes were deep. "At first glance, it seems that she comes from a big family. I didn't expect that someone so young would suffer such a crime!" She finished speaking.
, glanced at A Bao in Chu Yiqing's arms, and said quickly, "Come in and sit down, dinner will be ready in a while!"
Unlike the man and the woman, the old lady spoke with an authentic Capital City accent. Seeing the scene when she heard about Capital City, Chu Yiqing felt confident.
This Chuhan land has been a place of exile for hundreds of years. There are not many original residents. I think the old lady may have come from the capital.
Chu Yiqing was welcomed into the house, probably because the windows and doors were all made of paper. The light in the house was very dark, and the floor was bumpy. There was a simple square table, four stools, and nothing else.
Furniture, looking up, the roof is dark and the beams are clearly visible.
"Maybe you won't get used to it when you first come here, but you'll get better over time!" the old lady whispered, as if she had a deep meaning and seemed very helpless.
"Auntie, don't say that. I have suffered hardships before. It would be great to have a place to stay. I just cause you trouble!" Yiqing quickly stood up and said softly.
"That's good. You can stay at our house for now. Don't worry. Whatever you need or need, as long as my family has it, just ask for it!" The woman took the words enthusiastically, and as she spoke, she poured out the hot pot.
The corn flour pancakes were served, followed by corn flour porridge and a small plate of dark pickles.
The old lady said again, "Don't dislike it, the harvest in this Chuhan land is small..."
Chu Yiqing said quickly, "Auntie, you're welcome. I'm not here as a guest. I'm sorry to trouble you. From now on, auntie will treat me as one of your own!"
Seeing Chu Yiqing's sincere words, the old lady nodded immediately, and the family gathered around the table to eat.
"Sister, try the pickles I pickled with my own hands!" The woman put the dark pickles in a clear bowl, causing the little girl to swallow her saliva intuitively.
Only then did Chu Yiqing notice that there was no shortage of pickles on the plate. Thinking about the crops he had seen along the way, there seemed to be no vegetables except wheat. This shows that this dish is very valuable here, no wonder it is pickled.
It's been so long and so salty that I still don't want to eat it.
"Sister, I have a light taste. This pancake is delicious. I can just eat the pancake and leave the pickles for Mai Xiang!" After Chu Yiqing finished speaking, he put the pickles in the little girl's bowl. The little girl timidly
He raised his eyes and glanced at the woman, and when he saw that she agreed, he happily picked it up and ate it. The corn flour pancake was delicious and delicious.
Seeing that everyone was eating, Ah Bao was also hungry. Yiyi screamed in displeasure. Chu Yiqing smiled softly, said sorry, and left Ah Bao in the care of the woman for the time being.
Mai Xiang's bowl walked out, and after a while he came in with two bowls of warm milk. He placed one bowl in front of Mai Xiang and said softly, "Drink it, it's still hot!"
Mai Xiang had never seen milk before, and she rarely ate this corn flour pancake. Her eyes immediately lit up, but she didn't dare to drink it, and she raised her eyes to look at the old lady and the other women.
It can be seen that this tutor is still very strict.
"Sister, don't, this milk is precious. Besides, the child is still young, so let's leave it to the child to drink!" The woman moved the bowl in front of Chu Yiqing.
Mai Xiang pouted in grievance and lowered her eyes lonely, but did not dare to say anything.
"Sister, we've already said that we are a family, but you still want to be polite to me with a bowl of milk?" Chu Yiqing pretended to be displeased and pushed the bowl back to Mai Xiang.
The woman hesitated slightly, then glanced at the old lady for the last time, and seeing that she didn't say anything, she nodded. Mai Xiang became happy, and immediately stretched out her mouth to take a sip, and her face lit up with joy.
After the meal, Chu Yiqing gradually learned the woman's name, which was called Huangfu Jinyu. It sounded a bit tacky, but she couldn't remember the names of other women in the village. The embroidery and lotus ones were much more grand.
The man's name is simple, Zhao Maixiang, who came to the door. The little girl's name was probably obtained by her father, Zhao Maixiang.
After dinner, the sky became very dark. Although the Zhao family has three adobe houses and is considered a wealthy family in the village, due to the large amount of clutter in the countryside, only one can sleep. Zhao Maimai works in the town on weekdays.
, when she came back, the old lady went to the hall with Mai Xiang to lay the floor. She originally thought that the person Liu Yachai introduced was a man, so she wanted to lay the floor with Zhao Xiaomai, and then go to the town to find work together.
The room was not specially prepared, but now that Chu Yiqing was a woman with a child, it was very inconvenient for Zhao Xiaomai to be there, so he went out to find friends under the pretext of going out and never came back until the lights were turned off.
The Zhao family insisted on giving up the only kang to Chu Yiqing, saying that it was cold here at night and the children should not freeze. After repeated pushing and pushing, Chu Yiqing finally settled on the kang.
Chu Yiqing and Abao had just fallen asleep when they heard Mai Xiang's voice speaking softly from outside. The volume was inaudible to most people. It was only because Chu Yiqing had practiced martial arts that his ears were much more sensitive and he could hear it really well.
Quite.
"Mom, grandma, give me the milk, it tastes great!" Maixiang's voice sounded.
"Drink Mai Xiang, mother doesn't want to drink it!" Jin Yu's voice was also small.
"No, Mom, Grandma, should we drink together? I just took a small sip during the meal, specially reserved for Mom and Grandma!" Mai Xiang's voice was firm.
After a long time, the old lady sighed, "If it were before, the smell of wheat would have been there even if I drank milk all day long!"
"Mom, stop talking. Although we are living a poor life now, we are very practical!" Jin Yu said, and then declined some more. The three of them finally drank a bowl of milk and fell asleep.
Chu Yiqing was lying on the kang, and his judgment about the old lady was more certain in his heart. Maybe the old lady was also exiled here. It seemed that she should be a child of a wealthy family in Fucheng.
Although Chu Yiqing was grateful to the Zhao family for being kind to her, she still had to be on guard against others. She was worried about the cow outside the house and the money on her body, so she didn't dare to sleep well. When it was dawn, she heard the cow
After calling out, Chu Yiqing quickly stood up, opened a small crack in the window and looked outside, and saw Zhao Xiaomai holding a basket of grass to feed the cows, Mai Xiang was also helping, Jin Yu and the old lady were
