Mo Ziyuan went to the capital on the Lantern Festival, and all the people from the Han and Mo families went with her.
On the way there, the two elders of the Mo family rode in a carriage, Han Shuxian and Yu Silian took Han Qiulu in a carriage, and Mo Ziyuan, Mo Li, Murong Qingyuan, and Han Chunlin rode in a carriage.
Three carriages ran slowly from the village to the intersection to the county town, arousing another burst of envy from the villagers.
"The Mo family really has smoke coming out of their ancestral graves, so they gave birth to a baby like Wan Wan, who is stronger than any of the boys." A woman doing laundry by the river said after seeing three carriages running towards the county together.
"No, I'm only one or two years old and I'm very obedient. I heard Aunt Song say that she takes good care of her. She never cries or makes a fuss, and she doesn't even wet her clothes." The speaker was another woman who came to do the laundry together. people.
When it comes to peeing in pants, all mothers who have ever been mothers sigh. From the time the baby is born, the diapers at home have to be washed until the baby is two years old. Some people are still peeing in their pants when they are three years old. It is not just about peeing in pants, but also at night. I was sleeping soundly on the bed, and suddenly there was warm moisture under my body. Not to mention sleeping soundly, I jumped up and made the bed when I was startled. Those whose families are well-off can still sleep on a different bed. Those whose families are not well-off can only find a way to put a piece of cloth or some unworn clothes on the bed before continuing to sleep.
The woman who spoke first said sadly after hearing that Mo Ziwan stopped wetting the bed and wet his pants: "Shanzi wet the bed again last night. Alas, his father and I were almost rushed out of bed as soon as he peed."
Shanzi is her youngest son, who has turned two years old this year. It is really torturous to urinate in this winter.
"Shanzi is still young, so it's normal for him to wet the bed. I give him a layer of mattress every night. It's still cold today, so it's not easy for him to wet the bed." The woman enlightened.
"I put a pad on it because I was worried that he would pee. But he didn't disappoint. He peed in a big puddle. Even if he put on a pad, some still leaked out. If he didn't put on the pad, he wouldn't even be able to sleep."
"It would be better if it was bigger."
"Alas! When I was little, I hoped that I would be sensible when I got older, but my brother is not obedient now that he is older!"
"I think we still have to study. If Wanwan didn't study with Mr. Han, how could she be so smart? Linzi, Qinghuai, and Dagang have all become more sensible after studying. When the village school is built, I must send two of my family members to school."
"Yes, yes, I want it too. It's a pity that Wanwan won't accept it now, otherwise I would have sent it to Uncle Mo's house."
"It's normal not to accept it. Uncle Mo's house is not a big yard. The house is just that big. If you want to go there, the house will not be small. It is better to go to school in the future. I have heard that Wan Wan will also go there in the future. From the school."
"When the school is completed, I will send Xiangyang to it as well. If Wanwan can teach my Xiangyang to read, write, and become more sensible, I will even kowtow to her."
"Dagang wasn't disobedient before. I heard that he is very good at reading now, better than Linzi and Qinghuai. Your family Xiangyang is not as big as Dagang. Dagang can learn it well, and your family Xiangyang can definitely learn it too. "
The children of farmers' families are all similar. When they were young, they played wildly. When they got older, they started to help the family with farm work. Although they were all easy to play, there were always some who were more trouble-making and mischievous.
For example, Li Dagang and Xiang Yang, as the two people say now, are best at hunting birds in the mountains and catching fish in rivers.
"I didn't teach him less, and I didn't even beat him less. When his father started to fight, his body would turn blue and purple, and it wouldn't be long before he got into trouble again." Xiang Yangniang said that it was the same when her son disobeyed. Very sad.
"You have a wonderful idea. You can't teach yourself well, so you expect her to be able to teach a girl! She can also recognize a few words and read a few books. You still think she can teach others? Li Dagang is Tiantian He was escorted to Mo's house by his parents, otherwise he wouldn't be crazy everywhere. Yesterday, Dagang's grandma even complained that Li Dagang did nothing at home every day, just holding a shabby book and reading."
The speaker was none other than the pig butcher Fan family, who had a feud with the Mo family, and Fan Dali's wife Chen. She came a little later, and when she arrived, she heard the two of them talking about sending their children to study. .
Ever since she was taken care of by Han Shuxian, she has held a grudge, but her family cannot compare with the Han family in terms of wealth and power. Not to mention the Han family, even the current Mo family, she cannot compare with now.
, she doesn’t say anything openly, but she dares to say bad things behind her back.
Just like now, I have long forgotten that the last time I spoke ill of Mo Ziwan by the river, I was caught by the Mo family and punished severely.
The reason why Mrs. Chen dared to speak again was because she saw that the Mo family and the Han family were all gone. What was she afraid of saying a few words?
"What's wrong with reading? If he wants to read, just let him read." When Xiangyang's mother Liu Minfang saw her coming, she only glanced at her and said nonchalantly.
Mrs. Chen snorted sarcastically and then said: "You are very generous. If she can teach Li Dagang to be a scholar, she can read this book, teach the children to recognize a few words, and do everything at home every day." If you don’t do it, wouldn’t it be a delay?”
"Don't even think about it, what kind of people are we? We work hard every day for food, raise our children to do nothing, and just read a shabby book every day. How will we live in the future?"
Liu Minfang was speechless by Mrs. Chen, and felt that she was somewhat right, but they didn't know that no matter who taught it, if they didn't spend more time reading and studying, how could they pass the exam as a scholar? Scholars are not cultivated.
"I have to say that Mo Ziyuan is young, but she is still really cruel. When her family was not prosperous, Li Dagang's father and mother helped them a lot. Look at it now. When her family's life has improved, they kicked Li Dagang's father and mother out. Even after they were kicked out, they even asked people to raise ducks. As a result, the ducks were not raised, and a lot of money was spent."
"Li Yougui also started raising ducks? I haven't heard of it. How did you know about it?" Xiang Yangniang asked again. Although the other woman named Yan Yun didn't say anything, she listened with her ears straightened.
"It's not a secret that Li Yougui raises ducks. Why don't you know this?"
Ms. Chen said it was not a secret, but the ducks were kept at home when they were young. Outsiders would not know about it unless they went to the house. I just don’t know how she knew?
The reason why Mrs. Chen knew about it was because she heard Li Dagang's grandma talk about it when she went to chat with her. She thought it wasn't a secret, but she didn't want to think about it. Not everyone was like her, gossiping all day long.
However, the two of them didn't say anything when Chen said that Li Yougui was also raising ducks. Ever since Han Shuxian said he wanted to collect ducks and pigs, there have been several more ducks in the village, not to mention pigs. Every household has raised ducks. Raising. So even if Li Yougui raised ducks, the two of them didn't think too much about it. Who didn't want to make more money? It was normal for Li Dagui to raise ducks to make money. Who asked his mother to cause trouble in the workshop and cost them such a good job in the workshop.
Both of them knew that Li Dagang's grandma and the people in front of them were not good people, so they did not agree.
Yan Yun only talked about raising ducks and said: "There are several duck raising houses in the village. I also want to buy a few and raise them when the weather gets warmer." As she talked, she was doing a lot of work in her hands. Without stopping, he threw his clothes into the river and started to slosh in the water.
"Li Yougui bought sixty ducklings, but now none of them are dead. Grandma Dagang cried heartbrokenly every day. She didn't even make anything after listening to the Han family's words about raising ducks to make money. I lost all the money I earned from the workshop.”
Sixty of them cost a lot of money, and the two of them felt it was a pity when they heard, "Why are they all dead?" Yan Yun asked. She wanted to know how they died, so that she could pay more attention to raising them in the future.
"How did he die? It must be difficult to raise ducks. They need to be raised easily. The Han family and the Mo family don't know how to raise ducks themselves, so why spend money to buy them? Why don't they just trick everyone into raising ducks?"
"This person knows people, faces but not hearts."
Yan Yun frowned when he heard this, "According to what you said, your family makes money by killing pigs, why don't you raise them yourself?"
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Chen shouted unhappily.
"What do I mean? Didn't you say this? When people buy roast duck, they have to raise their own ducks. If you sell pork, you also have to raise your own pigs." As Yan Yun said this, he fished the clothes out of the river and wrung out the water. As soon as he put it in the basin, he picked up the basin and said to Xiang Yangniang, "I've finished washing and I'm leaving first."
Xiangyang Niang also wrung out the water from the clothes in her hands, then threw them into the basin and picked them up, "I've finished washing them and went back. I still have things to do when I get back."
After Xiang Yangniang finished speaking, she turned to Mrs. Chen and said, "Chen
Sister-in-law, you wash slowly, we are leaving first. "
Xiang Yangniang even said hello, but Yan Yun didn't say a word and just walked towards the river.
After saying hello to Yang Niang, she left with Yan Yun without waiting for Chen's response. As the two of them were walking back, Yan Yun said, "I think she has a bad memory, and she has forgotten how she was beaten to the point of kneeling on the ground when she spoke ill of Wan Wan."
The men in her family also went to help in the workshop. She was very clear about how the Han family and the Mo family treated them. She said that during the New Year days, not only were they given more wages, but each family was given a duck. and five kilograms of luncheon meat, said to be a New Year gift for everyone. If not for everyone, just give them some wages, why would they give everyone so many things?
Even before going to the workshop, they had never said a word about the Mo family, so she didn't feel good when she heard Chen's gossip.
Xiangyang Niang also said: "I think she just needs to be taken care of." Her husband did not go to the workshop, but her brother-in-law did.
Her family was not separated. All the money earned after her brother-in-law left was handed over to her parents. Her parents told her to keep the money and send Xiangyang to study when the village school opened, and then save the money for her brother-in-law to get a wife. .
"No, Uncle Mo and Mr. Han don't owe us anything. Even if they make money themselves, they still encourage us to live a better life. If others say this, I think she is jealous."
Mo Ziwan didn't know that Mrs. Chen was making trouble again, but if she knew, she would probably ignore her. She didn't have to worry about these innocuous things. If she hurt Daya, ask her godmother to slap her in the mouth! At this moment, she was happily going to Beijing. Tonight, during the Lantern Festival, she could go and see the lantern festival in Beijing.
Not only is there a lantern festival to watch, but the Lantern Festival is also a good day for gentlemen and young ladies to express their feelings. You must take a good look at this lively event.
On the Lantern Festival, I can't help but think of Xin Qiji's "The Sapphire Case: Yuan Xi".
The east wind blows thousands of trees into bloom at night.
More blowing down, the stars are like rain.
BMW's carved cars fill the road with fragrance.
The phoenix flute sounded, the jade pot turned light, and fish and dragons danced all night.
Moth snow willow golden strands.
The laughter is full of fragrance.
People look for him thousands of Baidu.
Suddenly looking back, that person was there, in a dimly lit place.
Such a scene is beautiful just thinking about it.
Thinking about it again tonight, you can see the brilliant lanterns in Xin Qiji's poem, the jade pot's light, and the beautiful scenery under the beauty's lamp. Mo Ziwan raised the corner of her mouth, tonight must be a beautiful night.
