The fertile farm girl in the portable space

Chapter 3 Dad's patch is full

"This..." Aunt Wang couldn't help but said: "I'm talking about the old lady, this child has nothing to do with me, should you pay me the wages? I can leave and go back."

Only then did the old lady save herself, she narrowed her old eyes, and said awkwardly with a smile: "I'm really sorry, Aunt Wang, you also know about our family's situation, this... I really can't do it!"

"If I can't get it, do I count it for nothing?" Aunt Wang suddenly became angry, "Madam, I know your family is poor, but my whole family depends on me to support them. You see, my voice is hoarse, and I am busy with work. For half a day, I didn't even bother to drink my saliva."

"Oh, look, I'm confused! Wait a minute." The old lady slapped her forehead, took small steps, and went out tremblingly. She went to the kitchen and opened the cupboard door. After a long time, she picked out a relatively complete one. I wiped the broken porcelain sea bowl with my sleeve, and sprinkled coarse tea leaves from the earthen pot on the stove, then poured hot water, and walked to the west room.

Aunt Wang was sitting at the head of the bed chatting with Mrs. Hai, comforting her, when she raised her eyes and saw the old lady approaching with a broken china bowl filled with water, she hurriedly stood up to pick it up.

"Come on, thank you for your hard work, drink some water to moisten your throat first!" The old lady said with a hint of flattery, and the smile on her face was wrinkled into an old chrysanthemum.

Aunt Wang looked at the dilapidated blue-and-white bowl and opened several openings. She accidentally pierced her mouth, but she didn't see them change it. She is really a poor family.The tea in the bowl was steaming, and there were a few green tea stalks floating in the water. Aunt Wang was very thirsty, sighed, took it, and poured it down in one gulp.

Bitter mouth!Aunt Wang slammed her mouth, this tea is really bad, I don't know what kind of rotten tea it is.But he was embarrassed to say it, so he just returned the bowl to the old lady.

"Old lady, look at this..."

"The neighbors in this village know that my Hai family is not a rogue family, but...the family really can't afford it, can't we wait for a few days?"

"This..." Aunt Wang was embarrassed.

"How about it?" Seeing her troubled, the old lady rolled her eyes and said slowly, "My son Hai Rui will be back in a while, you can ask him for it."

Hai Rui!Coriander was horrified.This is not true, is her father Hai Rui?Was it Hai Rui, the upright official of the Ming Dynasty, or was it a coincidence of the same name and surname?According to the history books, Hai Rui's family was indeed very poor, and the poor jingle jingle, jingle jingle, this point seems to be very consistent.She became Hai Rui's daughter all of a sudden, but she was really at a loss.

"Very good. Then I will wait for a while." Aunt Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Madam, how about we sit in the main room? This woman who just gave birth needs to rest, don't disturb the rest of the Hai family lady .”

The old lady gave the mother and daughter on the bed a cold look, and took Aunt Wang away.

Li Wenxiang was extremely depressed. This old lady, her grandmother seemed to dislike her very much, and she was also indifferent to her mother. If she was a son, she wouldn't be a drag on her, hey.It's just not my father, what kind of person is he, will he like me.But the lady didn't even show her face when she gave birth, which shows that her mother's status in this family is low, which is really chilling.

Li Wenxiang looked up at her mother. She was an ordinary woman, with disheveled hair and a blue cloth turban wrapped around her head. Although she was not ugly, she was also very ordinary. She glowed with the radiance of a loving mother, and there were two tears of grievance and guilt in her eyes.

"My son! Why aren't you a son? It's not that mother dislikes you, but mother is afraid that you will have a hard time!" Tears welled up in her eyes, and she took out a piece of coarse cloth from the side of the pillow and wrapped it around Li Wenxiang's small body. It was rough and cold against Wen Xiang's delicate skin, which gave her goose bumps all over her body.

"My family is so poor that I don't even have any coriander. My poor baby—let's call it coriander from now on!"

Khan... sea coriander - really good soil.But being born in such a poor family, it is not appropriate to have an expensive name.What's more, looking at this lady from the Hai family, she is probably illiterate...

No one raised any objections, not because they respected the child's mother, but on the contrary, because no one cared about the newborn baby girl, whether it was called Coriander, radish, onion, garlic and potato, no one would care.Just because—she's a girl.

And her father, who doesn't know where to stroll now?
The lady of the Hai family leaned down, kissed the forehead of Coriander with her rough and dry cracked lips, her eyes shone with determination, "Don't worry, no matter how poor or miserable this family is, as long as there is a mother, there will be you." One bite will never make you hungry!"

Coriander felt warm in her heart, maybe this woman is ordinary, but she really likes herself, just like all mothers in the world.

Hai Rui stretched out his hand and pushed open the dilapidated wooden door in the yard, and the two wooden doors creaked like a draft.

"These two wooden doors are broken like this. It's time to find the carpenter in the village, Old Wangtou, to repair it! No, forget it. How much will it cost? I'll fix it myself tomorrow. Why can't it be difficult for me, Hai Rui?" Hai Rui put his hand on the wooden door and shook it, muttering to himself, "Forget it, I still have to hurry up to take the exam. If this door is broken, it will be broken. It’s bare, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to invite thieves.”

"Son...you're back!" The old lady's ears were sharp, and when she heard the door knocking in the courtyard, she immediately came out quickly with small steps.Naturally, the creditor followed closely behind.

"Mother..." Hai Rui called out respectfully as usual.

The old lady went up to him, adjusted his clothes carefully, patted the dust off his body, and said, "Is my son hungry? Dinner is ready, and I'll be waiting for you when you come back!"

Hai Rui smelled the smell of the food, touched his empty stomach, and swallowed.

"Don't be busy for dinner. Your Aunt Wang has been waiting for you for a long time. Your daughter-in-law has given birth, and Aunt Wang is waiting to pay the wages!" The old lady pouted at Aunt Wang behind her.

"Congratulations, your daughter-in-law and mother are safe, and you have given birth to a big daughter!" Aunt Wang congratulated her. She looked forward to Hai Rui's return with great difficulty, and she naturally looked happy. Have money to pay?
Hai Rui was taken aback, and it took him a long time to react.

"Oh...that's it." Hai Rui reached out and fumbled in the sleeves for a long time, and felt the patched and washed white robe three times, inside and out, and finally found a few copper coins.

Hai Rui spread his hand in embarrassment, "Aunt Wang...Look, that's all I have!"

The lady of the Hai family heard her husband coming back from the house, she couldn't sit still for a long time, she sat up with support, came out with coriander in her arms, leaned against the door of the house and looked at the few people in the yard.The little coriander in her arms also stared wide-eyed, watching intently.
