Compared to the liveliness of the East Village, the West Village is particularly deserted today.
Many people quietly came to Jiang Sanlang's house in East Village to peek at how they sold golden ears.
I saw people from the East Village bringing in baskets of golden mushrooms and then returning with strings of copper coins, all with smiles on their faces.
While walking, some people compared the sizes of silver ingots with their companions, and they were so proud that the West Village residents felt their teeth itch.
While they were watching enthusiastically, the villagers from the East Village had spotted a few of them and immediately ran over to ask: "What are you doing here? Are you sneaky and want to do something bad?"
A villager from West Village said awkwardly: "We were just passing by."
"Passing by? Where are you going before you pass by Saburo's house? Are you here again with some bad ideas?" The people from the East Village obviously didn't believe it.
"We're just passing by! This road is facing the sky, you don't care where we go." The villagers in West Village began to act rogue.
"The road is pointing up to the sky?" The people in the East Village became angry when they heard it: "You come to our East Village territory and dare to say that the road is pointing up to the sky. Why don't you go to the sky?"
"Hit him! He dares to hang around in front of our third brother's house. He is definitely not a good person. Why do you want to steal the child?" The people from the East Village began to gear up and come up to beat him.
"That's right! You must have bad intentions." Others were also eager to give it a try.
As soon as the people in the West Village saw that the momentum was not right, they ran away and ran all the way across the stone arch bridge before stopping.
Damn it, I can’t even take a look at it, it’s so irritating.
The most irritating thing is not the East Village people, but the Chen Laoshuan family.
You said you were living a good life, but you went to the East Village to steal other people's children. Now when people from the West Village walk around in the East Village, they are suspected of stealing children. What's going on?
If it weren't for the unlucky gang of Chen Laoshuan's family, how could I, a native of West Village, be disliked by Jiang Sanlang's family?
If those bad things hadn't happened, I might have been able to buy some gold ears and other things from Jiang Sanlang's house. At this moment, I was sleeping with silver ingots like the people in the East Village.
Several people from the West Village became more and more angry as they thought about it. When the moon came over the branches, each person took a spoonful of dung water and poured it on the door of Chen Laoshuan's house.
"Who?"
Chen Fengshi has been having trouble sleeping recently, always worrying that something bad will happen to her old man and second son outside.
It's been more than a month, and the old man hasn't come back yet. It's time to plant beans and seedlings at the end of the summer harvest, and there's no man in the family to support him. What should I do?
She was feeling sad when she suddenly heard some movement outside the yard. She put on her clothes and got up to check. This sight made her very angry. A strong smell came from the gate.
When she opened the door, she saw that the door and the ground were all wet with feces and urine, which almost knocked her over.
"Whoever kills thousands of people throws feces at the door!" Chen Feng was so angry that she yelled.
But the shadow of the moon was whirling, and no one responded.
After a few curses, Chen Feng did not dare to stay outside and quickly closed the door.
When I returned to the house, I saw feces on my hands, and endured the nausea to wash my hands.
When I got back to the house and went to sleep, the chickens started to crow.
Early the next morning, Chen Wan got up to cook. Seeing that her grandma was still asleep, she opened the cupboard and scooped out a scoop of wheat noodles. After thinking about it, she scooped out half a scoop more.
Come to the kitchen and start kneading the noodles, preparing to make gnocchi.
After she finished making the dough, several sisters also got up. As soon as Chen Zhao opened the courtyard door, he screamed: "Why is there shit on the door?"
Chen Wan knew what was going on, but she didn't care and said, "You two can just go to the river to carry water and wash it off."
Chen Zhao was unhappy, "Why don't you go carry the water to flush it? Why do you have to ask us to do the dirty work?"
Chen Wan ignored her and took a large bowl of gnocchi to her grandma's house.
"Grandma, it's time to eat."
After shouting a few times, seeing that Chen Feng still didn't move, he hurried over to check. What was surprising was that Chen Feng's face was red and she actually had a fever.
Now Chen Wan became anxious and ran out to find her uncle and aunt.
…
The busy farming season is over and it will soon be May 28th.
The Jiang family started to hold a happy event again, this time Jiang Erlang got married.
There was no sedan used when picking up the bride. Jiang Erlang brought two matchmakers and betrothal gifts, and drove three mule carts with a few close brothers to pick up the bride.
No one from the bride's family came to see her off, and the dowry was just two red-painted wooden boxes. No one knew what was in them.
After entering the door, stepping over the brazier, and then going to the main room to pay homage, Jiang Erlang held the bride's hand the whole time, regardless of the teasing of his brothers.
After praying to heaven and earth and worshiping in the high hall, and the master of ceremonies called out the ceremony, Jiang Erlang sent the bride into the bridal chamber.
Yingbao and Dani Erni were very curious about what the bride looked like, so they sneaked into the new house.
I saw a bride wearing a hijab and a bright red embroidered wedding dress sitting on the big carved bed.
The bride is graceful, upright and motionless, like a person made of brocade.
Ying Bao ran over and peeked up at the bride's face from under the hijab.
Wow, it is indeed Sister Yanru.
Yan Ru also saw the little baby looking up at her neck, she pursed her lips and smiled, took out two silver peanuts from her sleeve and handed them to her: "Little Bao'er, let's play with them."
Yingbao took the silver peanut and said with a smile: "Thank you, Aunt Yanru."
Yan Ru gently pinched her face and smiled tenderly: "You're welcome."
Since she had nothing to do, Ying Bao simply sat on the footboard of the big bed and talked to her: "Aunt Yanru, why did you marry my second uncle?"
Yan Ru paused, not knowing how to answer for a while, and finally said after a while: "Because your second uncle is a nice person."
"You are really discerning." Ying Bao praised: "My second uncle is not only a nice person, but also good-looking, right?"
Yan Ruqiao blushed, stretched out her hand to touch Ying Bao's little head, and gave a low hum.
Ying Bao wanted to say something more, but she was picked up in the air and taken to the outside of the new house.
"Baoer, be good, let's go and play with Ernie." Jiang Erlang put down his little niece and patted her head, "Come over and talk to your second uncle tomorrow morning."
Ying Bao's eyes widened and she looked in disbelief at this man who valued sex over his niece.
He actually kicked her out!
Then I saw my second uncle walking into the new house quietly and closing the door.
Huh! Sure enough, after having a daughter-in-law, he forgot about his mother... no, he forgot about his niece! Fortunately, sister Yanru introduced her to him by herself.
Yingbao puffed her lips and went to find Sister Erni.
I was busy talking to Aunt Yanru just now, and I didn't notice when Sister Dani and Sister Erni left.
At this time, Erni was standing outside the yard, looking a little dazed.
Yingbao tiptoed to her side, tilted her head and looked at her, "Sister Erni, why are you crying?"
Erni quickly wiped away her tears and whispered: "I didn't cry."
After a pause, she sniffed and asked softly: "Yingbao, do you think my father will dislike me and Huzi in the future?"
Yingbao patted her hand and said comfortingly: "How could it be? You are his children, how could you not like him?"
Erni sighed, "But now that he has married a bride, he will have other children in the future. I heard people say that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather, so..."
Ying Bao blinked and didn't know how to answer. He had to hold her hand and said, "You sleep with me tonight."
Erni nodded and followed her little cousin to her third uncle's house.
