Chapter 1 Quiet Days

Yin Tao is the second daughter of a family in Dongliu Town, Fudong County.

Yin Tao's father became a scholar and was recommended to study in a government school. He thought he had a bright future, but after more than ten years, he was still a scholar.

Yin Taoniang was the child bride chosen by her grandfather and grandmother when she was alive.

I have to say, the two old people have unique vision.

For so many years, Yin Taoniang has relied on one-handed embroidery skills to let Yin Tao's father study leisurely for more than ten years in the government without having to bow down for five buckets of rice.

However, due to years of overwork, Yin Taoniang's eyes were a little blurry.

Fortunately, the eldest sister Yin Lan is better than the blue, and her embroidery is dexterous and beautiful, and she is even more loved by the lady, which greatly relieves Yin Taoniang's pressure.

The 17-year-old Yin Lan is a typical Jiangnan girl, graceful and gentle, with a beautiful appearance, but she has not been engaged yet.

Yin Taoniang was sitting at the aisle with her big belly out, bowing her head and embroidering a picture of wealth and auspicious birds facing the phoenix kang screen.

The embroidery is not big, but there are many flowers and birds in it, so it has been embroidered for two months, and it will be completed in another month.

14-year-old Yin Tao ran home sweating profusely, and pushed open the courtyard door, making a dull creaking sound.

Yin Taoniang raised her head and squinted slightly, only to see later that the young girl's trousers and shoes were only half dry, and she was carrying a fish basket that was half a person's height in her hand.

She hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her body and greeted Yin Tao distressedly: "Come here and wipe the sweat, no one will be seen at noon, why are you so embarrassed."

Yin Tao ran to the corridor to avoid the scorching sun in a few steps, stood obediently and let her mother wipe her face, enjoying the pampering from her, her almond eyes smiling like a crescent moon!

"Mother, I put the basket by the river outside the town yesterday evening. Look, there are several fish in it. I make fish soup tonight. This is the most eye-catching."

Yin Taoniang wiped her daughter's sweat a little more gently, and looked at the youngest daughter lovingly: "Whatever you do, mother likes to eat, don't work so hard next time!"

He shouted at the back room again: "Laner, pull up the cold mung bean water in the well to relieve your sister from the heat."

"Yes, mother."

As soon as the clear and sweet voice fell, Yin Lan stepped out of the door.

She stretched out her slender fingers and pointed at the little sister, and said angrily: "Look at you, how can there be a girl's family as wild as you? ."

Yin Lan was wearing a light-colored cloth dress, her black hair was combed in a double bun, with silk flowers slantingly inserted, her beautiful and small Qiong nose and eyes like autumn water looked at Yin Tao with a smile and anger.

Because she is the eldest daughter, she was very fond of her father when she was young. She personally taught literacy and reading, and she is a bit more scholarly than the girls from wealthy families in the town.

Even if she sees this little beauty sister every day, Yin Tao often marvels at her appearance and temperament.

However, Yin Lan is always very quiet, so she likes to tease this sister very much.

Stretching out her tongue at Yin Lan and making a face, Yin Tao ran to the well in the courtyard and said, "I don't need my sister's help, I'll do it myself. Don't let the sun burn the jade-like people."

The mother's laughter and the elder sister's shameful scolding came from behind.

Going to the well, first pour the fish into the big wooden basin, shake the bucket in the well, take out the pottery bowl and put it aside, then pour the water into the wooden basin, and slap the tail of the white-bellied fish hard. The splashes wet Yin Tao's face and clothes.

Yin Tao smiled and said, "I'll let you all relax for a while, and I'll take care of you when I drink a bowl of cold water, girl."

Seeing her little daughter's lively appearance, Yin Taoniang couldn't help laughing while stroking her belly, which was about to give birth.

The eldest daughter is gentle, and the younger one also pays attention to etiquette and has an old-fashioned temperament. Only this girl is eccentric and lively.

Thinking of how her daughter was dying from a serious illness three years ago, she couldn't bear to restrain her, and let her be happy for a few years.

Even if she was thirsty, Yin Tao still took the cold mung bean water and handed it to her mother: "Mother, you drink it first, but this coldness, you can't be greedy!"

Yin Taoniang smiled and shook her head: "We've had it. This bowl was specially reserved for you by your sister."

"Thank you, sister!" With a sweet smile at her sister, Yin Tao immediately took a sip, raised her eyes in surprise and asked, "Hey, sweet?"

Yin Lan, who took over the embroidery and bowed her head to embroider seriously, pursed her red lips lightly, and said with a smile, "Today, there is a hawker selling caramel at the alley. Mother asked me to buy one for you, so that I can coax you not to run around."

Although she knew that her sister's last sentence was a joke, she knew that it was true that she specially bought caramel for her.

The wind blowing through the hall is very cool, and it is more comfortable than the air conditioner in the previous life.She drank slowly, only to feel the sweetness in her heart.
