The golden and jade of the peasant girl in charge

Chapter 6

Hearing this, Jixiang was really stunned, but she immediately shook her head and denied: "Ruyi, don't talk nonsense..."

Seeing Jixiang's persistence, Ruyi finally said what she had been afraid to say when she was seen by the righteous master: "Sister, it's true. You put the seeds on the bench in the yard that day, and I watched them from the window of the west room. Go out and see with your own eyes that Second Aunt came in and took our seeds away."

Ji Xiang's face changed a few times, he opened his mouth, but was unable to speak in the end.

Ruyi looked at Jixiang with a look of embarrassment, and knew that she was trying to maintain the relationship with her aunt and uncle, just to take care of them, so her tone softened: "Sister, do you believe me?"

The summer sun quickly changed from morning light accompanied by morning dew to scorching sun.The door of the He family was closed, but the backyard was bustling with activity.

Jinyu squatted curiously in front of the remaining half-box of corn, stretched out his hands to play with the corn whiskers, Jixiang washed the corn, and was immediately driven aside, just looking at Ruyi, who had always been weak, holding the corn steadily in one hand and the knife in the other , The hand raised the knife and fell, a layer of corn had been peeled off, then turned to the side, and peeled again, and soon, a corn cob was peeled clean.

She picked up all the cobs and put them together with the remaining half box of corn, and asked He Yuanji to soak the peeled corn in a large wooden basin.After soaking a pot full of corn, she said calmly, "Put it in the backyard and soak it for two days."

Yesterday she had a short conversation with Jixiang, and she knew from insinuating words that this is a small village in the south of Dazhou, which is located in the southern part of Kyushu, because Jixiang didn't have much chance to go out, except for going to the nearest Jinqiao town. Know.And she found sadly that Ji Xiang didn't know what Gorgon powder was.Gorgon powder is also called starch in layman's terms.Starch has been used for a long time in history, but when it comes to this unknown place, all its cooking ingredients seem to be shuffled and understood one by one.

Although Ji Xiang was curious about the topics that Ruyi talked about, she thought about it carefully and added in a responsible manner. It’s not that there are things she doesn’t know, maybe it’s because she has too little knowledge...

Now, it doesn't matter how much knowledge you have, Ruyi decided - homemade Gorgon powder!
In the past, when there was no prosperity, the financial conditions of grandma’s house were limited, and the brothers and sisters in the kitchen were not allowed to touch things casually, so more often, Ruyi racked her brains to study how to make what she wanted with her own ability. When she first came into contact with Gorgon Flour, she checked how it was made on a whim, and what kind of relationship it had with flour.Due to the limitations of technical conditions, her current production method is very crude, and it is unknown whether it will be successful or not—but this is not their corn, so she doesn't feel bad!
But Jixiang’s thoughts are different. Corn is already the main food in the family. Ruyi cut half of the frame at once. She has never cooked, and at most she just helped to steam steamed buns. Jixiang was a little afraid of ruining the corn. I'm even more afraid that my second aunt will cause endless disputes after she finds out...

As if to verify her uneasiness, just as the corn was soaked, Wang Fengjiao's cursing voice came from outside.

"You stinky, shameless, poor thief, stealing corn from my mother's field, if my mother catches these little sluts stealing things, and tramples those slut hands to death..." Ruyi walked to the door and found that Wang Fengjiao was not partial. Yi, happened to be standing at the door of their house cursing.

Jixiang was guilty, thinking that Wang Fengjiao had found out and was about to go out, but was stopped by Ruyi and He Yuanji. Jixiang thought it was better to admit his mistake as soon as possible, but Ruyi asked He Yuanji to go to the backyard first to hide all the corn, which was right for Jixiang Said: "Can't see it yet? If she had evidence, she would have come to 'stomp the slut'..."

Jixiang looked outside, and Wang Fengjiao was still standing there, cursing, and other villagers passing by had to take a look at her.

Ruyi was right, Wang Fengjiao really didn't know who stole her corn, she deliberately scolded Jixiang's family, and felt that it would be more relieved to scold like this!Originally, it is not uncommon for such a large field to be broken up by some children to roast and eat occasionally, but Wang Fengjiao has been in charge of the family for so long, and it is because of this domineering temper, let alone break her a corn, it is a corn You have to step over her corpse!In other words, if you want to take advantage of her, you might as well give her a happy one.

So, on this refreshing morning, Ruyi conveniently gave her a treat.

In fact, the real Ruyi is a girl who is as careful as dust, and a girl who understands things. However, she is too weak, and she knows that her mother's status in her husband's family is low, and her sisters are not likable. She also learns many things. For auspiciousness, there are some things that the family members know, and she keeps them in her heart, and some things that the family members don't know, she keeps in her heart alone.

When Ruyi was still Ning Ci, in the eyes of others, she was a serious woman who did things seriously. She would often lock herself in a private kitchen in order to study a dish, and she could not go out for half a month.But no one knows how much effort she has spent step by step to get to where she is today, and how many brothers and sisters she has squeezed out through open and secret struggles. If you take her obscurity as a kind of weakness, then This man really missed it!
If it is said that Zhao Xiaoqin and Shen Yan were the only time when Ning Ci lost his eyes and let her years of hard work go to waste, then He Ruyi now will not let herself make the same mistake again.She's going to live a good life, whoever wants to make a stumbling block, stretch out her hand and chop her hand, stretch her foot and chop her foot, kill her and don't care about her!
Wang Fengjiao scolded for nearly half a cup of tea, and she was a little out of breath. A few sisters-in-law beside her smiled and asked her why she was so angry so early in the morning, and she made a comeback and repeated the scolded words verbatim. Scold again.

In the house, Jixiang didn't like hearing it. She is an honest girl. Even if she didn't do anything sneaky, she would feel ashamed if the elders said a few words casually on weekdays. Can't help, every word of Wang Fengjiao is like a resounding slap on her face!

"No, Ruyi, let's make a mistake with our second aunt. The corn on the left and right has already been picked. She is our second aunt after all. Is it possible that she can really watch us starve to death? Ruyi, father and mother have taught us since we were young to be human. Don't ask to be richer than others, but you must have a clear conscience! You..."

Ruyiyan grabbed Jixiang who was about to go out: "Sister, I picked the corn, let me go."

Ji Xiang naturally refused, she is the eldest sister, so she has to take care of things!Ruyi didn't force her, let her go, but asked again: "Sister, do you still want Mantang to come back and live with us?"

When Mantang was mentioned, Jixiang couldn't help being sad, even Jin Yu who was on the side heard Mantang and whispered that he missed him.Ruyi sat back on the chair in the main room, and said unhurriedly, "Eldest sister, you go out now and confess to Second Aunt. According to Second Aunt's temperament, the whole village should know that our daughter of the He family is a thief by afternoon. Grandma was always opposed to us leading the whole house. Isn't this giving grandma a better reason? Besides, although I did it alone, can you guarantee that Jin Yu will not be involved in this kind of thing? Even if you and I You don't plan to marry anymore, and let Jinyu be judged?"
