"Why are you mentioning her properly without dirtying your mouths? My grandma told you to stay away from her when you meet her to avoid trouble." Liu Xiaofang was picking chrysanthemums and talking at the same time, calmly and calmly.
"It's easy for you to say that. Our house is wall to wall with her, and we can hear her shouting every day. We can't hide even if we want to." Liu Yu muttered with a bitter face. She didn't want to be with this annoying old woman Liu. We get along with each other, but unfortunately her house is only separated from Mrs. Liu's house by a wall, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't want to hear it. He glanced at Wang Yunling who was picking chrysanthemums in another field, and then said: "It's better now without Daya and Erdan. You don't know that you could hear her yelling and cursing before dawn, so Daya and Erdan When I get up to cook and feed the pigs, I have to find an excuse to beat him a few times."
"Yeah, thank you to Sister Ming, otherwise they both would have suffered." Liu Lin also looked at Wang Yunling who was picking chrysanthemums seriously. She was wearing new clothes, with a rosy face and neatly combed hair. She was more energetic than before. , where am I still wearing ill-fitting tattered clothes, broken straw sandals that can only see my feet, a face that can never be washed, and messy hair like I was wearing half a month ago.
"What are you afraid of her doing? Aren't you going to be next to her soon?" Liu Xiaofang looked at Liu Yu and joked.
"You damn girl, what are you talking about? See if I don't tear your mouth apart." Liu Yu's face turned red instantly, and she was about to hit her. Unfortunately, she was holding a basket in one hand and a chrysanthemum in the other, and Liu Yifang was separated again. It's far away and you can't hit it even if you want to.
"Oh, are you embarrassed? If you want to hit me, come on! Come on!" Liu Xiaofang stood there and looked at the frustrated Liu Yu with a proud smile.
"What's wrong with them?" Xiao Ming looked at the interaction between the two, puzzled, and couldn't help but ask Liu Lin, who was watching the excitement.
"You don't know, Liu Yu has been engaged since she was a child and will get married next year." Liu Lin was worried that Liu Yu would be shy and deliberately spoke in a low voice.
"Ah, there is such a thing. How old is Liu Yu? She will get married next year." Xiao Ming was shocked.
"I'm twelve years old, actually thirteen years old. I originally wanted to wait until fourteen to get married, but I heard that I was an only son there and hoped that Liu Yu could get married as soon as possible, so Mrs. Wang agreed." Liu Lin told her what she knew. Speaking of which, among the three of them, Liu Yu was older, but a generation younger than Liu Lin.
"That's it!" Xiao Ming was stunned, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time. She was twelve years old, as old as her, and she was about to become a wife. This was too exaggerated. The other party's only son, I'm afraid he wanted her to marry him and have children earlier. One generation, is it spreading its branches and leaves?
In ancient times, women got married early, usually getting engaged at the age of twelve or thirteen, and getting married after they were fifteen. Daughters who were good in the family and especially favored by their parents would be kept by their parents until they were sixteen or seventeen, but they were all old girls. This kind of This is rarely the case.
In this era, there are no girls who get married at the age of 18, so people will be criticized for their wedding parties.
In the Mood for Love, she is fifteen or sixteen years old. In modern times, she is still a young girl who has just entered high school, but here she is married to another woman.
Similarly, a woman's childbirth is like going through a hellish gate. There are no modern advanced drugs and medical equipment to protect her. During the birth, she hires a stable woman instead of a doctor. The children she gives birth to are prone to infection and have a low survival rate.
Xiao Ming did not dare to think about the dangers and consequences of Liu Yu who was not yet fifteen years old if she became pregnant and gave birth to a child.
"But the conditions there are very good. It seems that he is a scholar." Liu Lin didn't pay attention to Xiao Ming's expression and said to himself, with envy in his words that he didn't realize.
Liu Fang felt sad in her heart. The three of them had been talking to each other since they were young, and they often played together when they had nothing to do. Liu Yu always let her go and helped her with work. By this time next year, Liu Yu would Getting married.
"If you don't tell me this, you don't know. I followed my elder brother to the city to deliver goods a few days ago. Who do you think I saw?" Liu Lin asked several people excitedly.
"Who is it?" Liu Xiaofang was curious and stopped arguing with Liu Yu.
"It's cousin Fushun." Liu Lin said, "I saw him walking on the street with a girl, and my brother also saw it. I called him at that time, but unfortunately he didn't hear." Liu Lin recalled that day The girl was young, dressed in luxurious clothes, and was accompanied by several servants. One held an umbrella for her, and the other two followed behind carrying things. She looked like a rich lady from a wealthy family.
"Really! Who is that woman?" Liu Yu was curious.
"How did I know?" Liu Lin was annoyed. She said hello to him, but he actually pretended not to hear.
"What's the deal! He was already working in the city, so it's not surprising to meet him." Liu Xiaofang said.
"You don't know that he came home the day before yesterday and left again early the next morning." Liu Yu said.
"The basket is full, let's send it back." Liu Xiaofang said, stopping this boring topic.
After two days, with the help of Liu Lin and the others, they picked every chrysanthemum in the field, leaving the small unopened flowers waiting for the next picking. Tonight, the three of them rejected Xiao Ming and Song's offer. Enthusiasm for food.
The three of them returned home happily with a basket of chrysanthemums and a jar of fruit wine sent by Xiao Ming in advance.
Looking at the rows of shelves under the eaves, there were ten dustpans of chrysanthemums placed on each row of shelves. A rough calculation calculated that the number was hundreds. This harvest made Mrs. Song smile so brightly that her teeth could not see her eyes.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of Guangji Hall. Xiao Ming got off the carriage and saw Min Fangqi coming out of the medicine hall before entering. Sanzhu, the attendant, followed closely behind him with a medicine box on his back. He helped the master down the steps with one hand. The steps are rushing forward, as if he is going to visit a doctor.
"Good morning, senior brother." Xiao Ming greeted.
"Junior sister, you are here." Min Fangqi was overjoyed to see Xiao Ming, and walked up to Xiao Ming two steps at a time.
"Senior brother has to make a medical visit."
"Yes! Junior sister, let's go together. An official in the government office was injured." Min Fangqi said, inviting Xiao Ming to go with him.
"Okay." Xiao Ming agreed happily and got on the carriage without saying a word.
The carriage had been waiting at the intersection for a long time, and the driver was actually an official in official uniform.
Sanzhu took the initiative to sit in front and did not follow the carriage. Min Fangqi and Xiao Ming were the only two people in the carriage. At this time, Min Fangqi told Xiao Ming about the patient's condition.
"It was Mr. Zhou from the Yamen who was injured while chasing a fugitive two days ago. He didn't pay attention to it at the time and only bandaged it briefly. Unexpectedly, two days later, instead of healing, the wound became more serious."
"Wound infection." Xiao Ming said that this situation is very common, and the wound is not taken seriously, causing the injury to worsen.
"Brother, I think so too." Min Fangqi nodded.
The carriage drove quickly out of the town towards Pingcheng, and arrived at Pingcheng government office half an hour later.
"Doctor Min, please come this way." The little detective who led the way led Min Fangqi and his entourage into the government office and zigzagged to a small room and shouted loudly.
"Brother Zhou, Doctor Min is here." He said and led the three of them straight into the room.
"Doctor Min, please come in. Mr. Zhou is in there."
