Wearing the cannon fodder little koi in the imperial examination essay

Chapter 56

Manshan Village is surrounded by mountain streams, which are cool and clear. From north to south, they flow down from the head of the village cheerfully, flow through the village, and finally reach the end of the village. The stream flows through the stone bridge at the end of the village, winds through the dense forest of the back mountain, and walks around the foot of the mountain. After a circle, it rushed into the terraced fields, and finally rushed forward along the ups and downs of the mountain.

According to the trend of the mountain stream, the people in the village built a dam at the downstream of the stone bridge at the end of the village for the convenience of life. On weekdays, people stand at the mouth of the dam, or under the stone bridge, or in front of the stone bridge. It is very convenient to wash and brush on both sides of the stream.

And because of the dam, the stream is divided by a stone bridge, and a large part of the upper reaches is deep water half a person's height. Under the dam, due to the impact of the water flow for many years, several large and small pearls like scattered pearls have been formed. Pools of different depths.

Yu Su took a step first, but because of his short legs, he didn't reach the end of the village, and was caught up by Song Xiahe who came after him. The sister-in-law and sister-in-law met and looked at each other with a smile, ignoring the faint yelling and cursing behind them, the two Shoulder to shoulder to go to the stone bridge.

When their sister-in-law and sister-in-law arrived at the head of the stone bridge, there was no one on the embankment below. It must have been the busy farming season recently, and at this hour, the hardworking women at home had already finished washing the clothes that should have been washed, and those who hadn't come to do the laundry were probably delayed by the busy farming season. or something else, anyway, there is no one in the laundry right now, and the sister-in-law and sister-in-law are happy to be at ease.

Song Xiahe, who was standing at the head of the bridge, looked under the bridge with her head propped up. Seeing no one, she pointed to the maple tree on the other side of the bridge and said happily.

"Second Sister-in-Law, shall we go to the other bank? The sun will get brighter in a while. Let's go to the other bank. There are shade trees over there, so we won't be able to get the sun later. Besides, there are bluestone slabs over there. It's the best way to wash clothes." Not too bad."

Yu Su naturally nodded without further ado, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The two quickly crossed the stone bridge, walked down the bluestone steps beside the bridge to the stream, and directly occupied a large shady place under the tree.

Standing still, Song Xiahe, who worked swiftly, immediately took action.

She took out all the dirty clothes in her basin, soaked them in the stream to get wet, and then piled them up on the bluestone board beside her, while sharing a little secret with Yu Su with a smile.

"Second sister-in-law, while there is no one at the moment, we both wash up quickly. After washing the clothes, I will take you to dig Houttuynia cordata. Let me tell you, second sister-in-law, when I was hunting pigweed in front of me, in A large piece of Houttuynia cordata was found in Xishanao, second sister-in-law, would you like to come with me?"

Xu Shi found out that her second sister-in-law was pretty good, so Song Xiahe decided to share her little secret with her second sister-in-law, and took her to dig wild vegetables together so that they could get closer.

Yu Su is also a rare companion, and she is such a good-natured little girl who is not much older than herself, so she naturally has nothing to say, just point her little head as diligently as a chicken sucking rice.

only……

"Second sister-in-law, wash it quickly." She nodded patronizingly, but she couldn't wash her clothes by herself.

My second sister-in-law is so good, she looks soft and cute, she is good, but she just keeps nodding and laughing silly, she doesn't seem to do laundry at all, what makes Song Xiahe who has already started to struggle with dirty clothes See how worried you are.

"Second sister-in-law, don't you know how to wash clothes at all?" Thinking of her second sister-in-law's previous attitude of not even picking up dry tea and forgetting to smash clothes sticks, she felt inexplicably bad.

Sure enough, she was right to be concerned.

When Yu Su heard Song Xiahe's subconscious question, she was instantly embarrassed. Yu Su wanted to say that she could wash, but seeing the other party's eyes staring at her, Yu Su scratched her head uncomfortably with her small paws, inexplicably lacking in confidence. .

"Hehehe, inside, inside..."

Well, seeing the appearance of the second sister-in-law, what else does Song Xiahe not understand?
Song Xiahe became more and more sure that her second sister-in-law might be the lady who ordered her servants to order her life. Cherishing their love for fighting against the enemy just now, Song Xiahe, who worked swiftly, decided, "Forget it, second sister-in-law, let me wash it for you. Anyway, you Not many clothes."

As Song Xiahe was talking, Hey stretched out his rough little hand, which made Yu Su's big eyes widen, he quickly picked up his bamboo basket and took two steps back, firmly shaking his head.

"How can I do that? You say you can do your own thing, and sister, you have so many clothes that you can't wash them yourself. I only have a few pieces. I don't need you, I don't need you, I can do it!"

Seeing Yu Su's serious and resisting face, and her little head shaking faster, Song Xiahe felt that the second sister-in-law was cute, and she grabbed someone's hand tightly protecting the bamboo basket and became more persistent, "It's okay, second sister-in-law, you're welcome, I'm very sorry Hurry up, you don't need these two."

"That doesn't work either, I'll wash it myself, wash it myself..."

When the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law began to fight back and forth over the bamboo basket, suddenly, there were a few laughing sounds from the stone bridge above their heads.

"Hey, are you two sisters-in-law playing tug-of-war?"

Not only that, the strange voice of joking just fell, and a new voice surged in an instant.

"This is the new wife's laundry."

"Second sister, you can't bully your new sister-in-law just because your second sister-in-law is young. Be careful when your second brother treats you later."

"Hahaha, these aunts and sisters-in-law are really interesting..."

The two sisters-in-law, who were vying for laundry, looked up, okay, there were one, two, three, five, seven and eight people densely packed on the bridge, and after a rough look, there were nearly ten people.

Didn’t it mean that no one would wash clothes at this point? What’s the matter with these old people who popped up all of a sudden?
But fortunately, the people who came were laughing and joking, and they were all from the village. They bowed their heads but did not look up. Everyone was used to laughing and joking. He let go of his hands and turned his head, looking at the people on the stone bridge and shouting with a smile.

Grandma Wang, Erniang Zhang, Auntie, Grass Girl, Girl Hua, Girl Mei, Sister Mi, Sister Liu, and Little Sister, not only calling out to herself, Song Xiahe also kindly called out one and introduced one to Yu Su beside her. .

As for Yu Su, although she has lived in Manshan Village for some time, but because she doesn't have much contact with her, she still can't tell who is the big tit, the second mother, the grass girl, the flower girl, etc., so she can only be the younger sister. Greeting one, she just nodded and smiled innocently, followed by a crisp shout, her performance like this is not annoying, and her family background is strong, the impression and attitude of all daughters-in-law and girls are old , Of course, there will be many jokes in the mouth, but they are all well-intentioned.

The big guys happily exchanged greetings again, Song Xiahe looked at the oldest Grandma Wang, and she asked enthusiastically, "Grandma Wang, you and Aunt Cao are very diligent on weekdays, today Why did you come to do laundry at this hour?"

Obviously, Song Xiahe also had the same doubts as Yu Su.
