Wearing the cannon fodder little koi in the imperial examination essay

Chapter 57

The middle-aged woman whom Song Xiahe called Grandma Wang changed the big wooden bucket she was holding to her left hand, raised her free right hand, smoothed her temples lightly, and stood on the bridge with her head bowed and smiled in response to Song Xiahe.

"Hey, it's not that these two days have been busy harvesting millet, your Da Jingbo and the others are busy looking at the drying yard, and they only go home to take a shower and change clothes at this point. Auntie and your aunt have nothing to do, so they come to do laundry at this hour , Just right, you Zhang Erniang and your little aunt are similar, and you met Aunt Meizi and the others on the road, so everyone gathered together, and it happened to be lively."

"Oh oh oh, so it's like this." Song Xiahe nodded repeatedly, expressing his understanding.

Immediately, seeing the laundry place on the opposite side, when he was talking to Grandma Wang just now, it had already been taken up by the young aunts and the others one after another, Song Xiahe felt a little ashamed.

"Look at me, it's all my fault that I only focus on talking to you, Mrs. Wang, and I have delayed your search for a place, Mrs. Wang, and there is no good place on the opposite side. Why don't you come to my side, Mrs. Wang, I still have a place here , not at all, it's very cool, come quickly."

As soon as Song Xiahe said this, the women who had just successfully stood on the opposite side laughed and blamed, and made fun of Song Xiahe across the stream.

"Hey, I said Second Sister Song, it's not okay for you to only favor your grandma like this, we want to eat it."

"Let's go, you old women are just jealous of my popularity, you have your business everywhere, you want the second sister's territory, yes, then give me your own occupied land."

"Hahaha, that's impossible..."

No matter how pungent Song Xiahe was, she was still young after all, being teased by all the women, her dark face suddenly turned red, but Grandma Wang on the bridge couldn't see it, she just scolded and scolded the women who were making fun of her, and that's it. Help Song Xiahe out of the siege.

Everyone was not malicious, and there was a lot of fireworks. Yu Su, who was squatting beside Song Xia's lotus, quite liked the atmosphere.

After laughing and laughing, Mrs. Wang didn't delay any longer. The laundry was important, so she took her daughter Wang Cao'er next to her when she was busy. The mother and daughter each carried a wooden barrel, and the mother and daughter came to the other side of the bridge.

It's just that when they passed the bridge, the mother and daughter saw the little girl carrying a big basket of dirty clothes, and looked at the densely packed positions under the bridge, and He Yuli who was standing still, Grandma Wang suddenly burst into tears. Thinking of the tragic fate of this little girl, the kind-hearted woman subconsciously stopped in her tracks.

"Xingzu's family, why are you washing so many old clothes today?"

"I..." I hesitated, thinking about where I should go to squeeze a seat, preferably a place far away from these village women, An Ansheng hoped that He Yuli, who had handcrafted the clothes this morning, had no idea at all Someone will talk to me.

When she heard Grandma Wang talking to her, she was taken aback for a moment, and then saw that the other party was kind-hearted, and not taunting and bullying her like Huang Moli, He Yuli was relieved and smiled timidly.

"Grandma Wang, I..."

He Yuli was about to answer, but was interrupted by another voice beside her.

"Mom!", Cao'er saw that her mother was actually caring about the child bride of the Song family, and thinking of the evaluation of her by the girls in the village, Cao'er was unwilling to get in touch with her more from the bottom of her heart.

Everyone in the village doesn't know about the matters between the Da Song family and the Huang family. Although this He Yuli is suffering, Cao'er doesn't plan to step into the muddy water at all. Yuli is also a child bride-in-law bought with flowers and grains, and it's hard for them to talk about the family's experience as an outsider.

Another one, it doesn't matter if you say she is selfish or cowardly.

Others don't know, as an unmarried girl in Manshan Village, everyone likes to get together to work and talk, who doesn't know that Jasmine from Huang Baojia's family has trouble with this one?
That's Baojia! He's in charge of their village, pays food in autumn, collects taxes from the court, and collects labor and military service every year. This kind of person is stuck in the necks of the people.

Not to mention anything else, when it comes to paying grain, the family has to pay a few buckets more grain than others.

For this reason, Cao'er is not very happy to contact this child bride-in-law, and of course, she will not bully her like Huang Moli and the others.

Wang Cao'er, who had always turned a blind eye to He Yuli, saw that her nosy mother had suffered from Bodhisattva disease again, and Cao'er had a headache, so she quickly stretched out her hand and kept pulling her mother.

"Mom, we have too many clothes today, and we have to rush back to change father and brother to guard the drying yard. Let's go down and do the laundry..."

Afraid that my mother would offend others with her unguarded mouth, and also afraid that Huang Baojia would secretly think of her because she had too much contact with this person, Wang Cao'er couldn't help pulling her mother across the bridge.

"Hey, just talk when you talk, why are you dragging me, you damn girl..." Grandma Wang didn't know what her daughter was thinking, and she didn't guard against her daughter's sudden appearance, so she was dragged away by her daughter.

When being dragged past He Yuli, looking at the timid and silent expression on the other person's face, Grandma Wang couldn't bear it, and waved her hand to pat her daughter's claws, "Let go, let go, you dead girl, Ma'am doesn't need you anymore."

After realizing it, Cao'er's strength was still not as strong as her mother's, and she didn't dare to pull hard. Facing her mother's serious scolding, Cao'er had no choice but to let her mother break free from her restraint. He walked back to the daughter-in-law of Da Song's family who looked so pitiful and almost wept with her head down.

Wang Cao'er just... could only sigh.

Not only sighed, but she could only look at her mother and lower her head to speak kindly to He Yuli.

There is a bodhisattva sick mother, heart tired.

Grandma Wang stretched out her hand to hold He Yuli's skinny little paws like hemp sticks, and said painfully, "Xingzu's family, there is no space here for you to wash, you have so many old clothes, waiting for a place to come out , I don’t know how much work will be delayed, and those people in your family..." Thinking of the heartless people in the husband's family behind this poor child, if the child returns late, he might be beaten, Grandma Wang thought of that scene , Immediately felt that I couldn't bear the strangeness in my heart, and couldn't help sighing.

"That's all, you and grandma, we go to the opposite side to do laundry at Second Sister Song, she has a seat there."

"Thank you, Grandma Wang." He Yuli raised her head timidly to thank her with watery eyes, then quickly glanced at the bridge, then looked up at Grandma Wang hesitantly and said: "But I, I still won't go Right? Second, the second sister didn't call, she called me to... I, I..."

"What are you? You are a girl, speak and do things more crisply, don't be sluggish here, no wonder those in your family bully you, you are really good sex!"

Grandma Wang still likes crisp girls like Song Xiahe from the bottom of her heart. Although she sympathizes with He Yuli in her heart, she doesn't like her waxy appearance.

She nodded and looked up at their two little ones, "Second sister's surname is Song, and your man's surname is also Song. The two of you fled to our Manshan Village together, and you are relatives who have not yet given birth to five blessings. As a family, the sisters should be more intimate, go for a walk, don't spend too much money, hurry up, it's getting late, and the sun is also big, go, go down with the aunt, the second sister and the Xinglin family will definitely not care about these things Hey, hurry up and catch up, I've washed it early, so you should go home early, lest the mother-in-law mountain above you will come back and scold you..."
