MTL - Wings of Hung Chien-Chapter 2 two
Here, her name was changed to Si Hongcang instead of Si Hong.
Si Hongcang was walking on the ridge, and looking from a distance, his house was backed by a small green mountain, sitting at the foot of the mountain, and there was a colorful forest on the mountain. Different from the solidified green of the trees in spring, the intoxicating autumn colors are fluid and have no obvious color boundaries.
Like a jade belt, the Xiaoqing River sprang out from Xiaoli Mountain, first from north to south, turning a corner in front of her house, and then flowing eastward.
If you ignore the poverty of that thatched hut, you will see a beautiful picture of the rich and fertile countryside in front of you!
Her family lives at the foot of Xiaoli Mountain, which is a long way from the village to the east.
Two adobe houses with thatched roofs, surrounded by a bamboo fence along the open space in front of the door; some sweet-scented osmanthus were planted among the bamboo branches, forming a small yard. This reminded her of the extremely beautiful description "thatched eaves, earthen walls, hibiscus fences and bamboo slats" that she had read in the book, but it was a man-made farmhouse, but her family was a real poverty.
On the left side of the small yard near the kitchen, there is a small piece of vegetable field, planted with chrysanthemum, spinach, green garlic, shallots, etc. The color is green and green. Lentil racks are crawling all over the fence here, but the vine leaves are sparse and clearly about to go out of style.
On the right is the hut and firewood.
Behind the house is Xiaoli Mountain. The dense shrubs and various miscellaneous leaves have begun to turn yellow, and some of them have turned red.
Under the eaves of the porch of the house, there were many corn cobs, strings of golden-yellow corn, with attractive colors, which looked far more comfortable than eating.
It is backed by the mountains and facing the water in front. According to what Si Hongcang heard in his previous life, this is a treasure land of feng shui! But this family is so poor?
Tired and exhausted from the farm work, Si Hongcang looked at the shimmering waves in the sunset and ate half-cooked rice, but felt very happy. I thought to myself: In fact, it is quite good to live like this, it is both peaceful and peaceful.
After eating a large bowl of rice, she exhaled and wiped the sweat from the tip of her nose and forehead. She scooped up a bowl of big bone soup, grabbed the wild water bamboo shoots she found on the river bank, shelled them, boldly cut them into large pieces, and threw them into the rice soup. In the bowl of rice grains with a little oily sauce, I took a big bite of the crispy and delicious water bamboo shoots, and drank the sweet big bone soup.
She is very grateful to the bear-like aunt and her family. It was only later that I learned that Auntie had no blood relationship with her predecessor, but was merely a neighbor.
However, after seeing her appearance, she thought that her predecessor's biological father must be a great beauty. I heard that their father and daughter are not the original residents of this village, but 12 years ago, their predecessor had a big belly and settled here for the sake of their predecessor.
Moreover, her predecessor was literate. In this ancient society of women, it is reasonable to say that a man who can read is either a famous lady or the son of a high-ranking official...
Si Hongcang thought to himself, that's none of her business. Besides, her predecessor and her father have both died. Isn't the so-called person taking tea to cool off? There's no need to get to the bottom of it at all. Moreover, she just wanted to live a peaceful life.
The bear-like aunt has two daughters and one son. The eldest daughter, Gao Qianshu, who is seventeen this year, is married to the little pregnant woman named Aluan who brought them meals before. This is the second child of Gao Qianshu and his husband. The second daughter, Gao Wanzhi, is fifteen years old. She has already decided to marry and will have a wedding next spring. The youngest son, Gao Fengxian, a twelve and a half year old boy, just ran away shyly whenever he saw her blushing. Obviously a little kid, so precocious! Make her uncomfortable.
In fact, not only Gao Fengxian, but every man who saw her would be as shy as Gao Fengxian, either bowing his head to avoid or running away.
As a result, she, who was originally prone to male phobia, was healed unknowingly. Because the boy's family here is a hundred times more shy than her! Every time I see her, I run away.
Si Hongcang is doing well now. There was even an old trolley, which could be equipped with the cattle borrowed by the bear-like aunt, and staggered to the town down the mountain to take the extra food and vegetables to the market. Life is also so-so, not enough to eat, but not starving to death.
To the east, the entire Yannan Village is shrouded in this glow, and the treetops and roofs are covered with a layer of magnificent colors. A small road emerges from the arc at the foot of Xiaoli Mountain in the west, winding and extending into the depths of Yannan Village. Trees in twos and threes are scattered along the road. Yannan Village at the end of the path has tall or short, new or old houses scattered in a patchwork, interspersed with a few tall ancient trees standing out from the middle of the house, overlooking the whole village.
To the north of the village, a large field is spread all the way to the East River, and the rice fields are full of green. The fields and the grass by the river are full of chamomiles in full bloom, which together with the villagers who got up early to work and the shepherd boys grazing by the river constitute a pleasant picture.
Yun Ruo looked up at the picturesque rural scenery, and then looked at the face reflected in Chenghu Lake, although she had seen it since she was a child. However, I couldn't help but feel the pain in my heart-----The red birthmark, like being wounded by fire marks, spread all over the left cheek, making him an ugly Langer's family in the eyes of others!
Yun Ruo stood up, patted the blue and white floral trousers with patches on top of each other, stamped on the rag shoes with exposed toes, and let out a long breath.
People have to live, don't they? You can't sigh and feel sorry for yourself, no matter how much you hurt yourself, it won't help. What Xu Fumei said is not wrong, who would marry a man with an ugly face and go home as a husband! Yun Ruo couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart.
He slung the bamboo basket over his right shoulder, ready to go home.
When he turned around, he found that on the grass with chamomile blooming in front, an eleven or two-year-old girl, bent over, was farming with a **** in her hand. She had her hair in a bun and was dressed in grey sackcloth with patched knees and elbows.
If Yun Ruo knew her, she was the famous soft lady in the village who couldn't lift her hands or shoulders - Si Hongcang, who looked like a man's family.
But since her father's death, she didn't think about it, and she actually learned to use a **** to plough the fields? ! It should have been like this, or it wouldn't have made her father so exhausted, right? !
Yun Ruo was thinking while looking at Si Hongcang's back, and while she was farming, she seemed to feel a gaze staring at her from behind. So he stood up, turned around and leaned on the **** in both hands. At first glance, it turned out to be a boy who looked about eleven years old and had a fiery red birthmark on his left cheek.
You don't have to think about it to know that he is the ugly man in the villagers' mouths ------- Yun Ruo.
He is the only man in the village, he is neither shy nor pretentious when he sees himself, he is naturally pure.
In fact, in Si Hongcang's eyes, he didn't think he was ugly. When I looked at him carefully, I felt that his facial features were beautiful and attractive. In addition, he has a pair of smart and beautiful eyes, and those eyes are clear and firm.
What is rare is that I heard that he is not an introverted person who has low self-esteem and can only blame others, but a man with an opinion. This alone made Si Hongcang have a good impression of him.
However, at this moment, Yun Ruozheng looked at Si Hongcang in surprise with his mouth wide open, obviously not expecting that she would suddenly get up and look back at him.
Si Hongcang looked at him quietly, when he saw him looking at him in surprise. I thought to myself, is he afraid of being scared by himself? After looking at it for a while, I feel that it doesn't seem very good to look at people this way.
I wanted to say hello to him, but I couldn't. I didn't know him well, and I didn't know what to say to him. Smile, but if you smile like this, it will definitely scare people even more! So, she had no choice but to turn around and continue tinkering with her crops.
When Yun Ruo waited for Si Hongcang to turn her back to her, she felt something was wrong in her heart: Why this time, when she saw herself, why didn't she just ignore it like usual? Still staring at yourself quietly with those clear and bright eyes, seeing your heart as if it was scratched by a kitten's claws, numb and numb?
Thinking about it, I always feel that my face is hot like a fire, and I touch my cheek, is it actually shy? ! He swallowed and cursed inwardly: Damn it! When do you feel shy with a woman? ! So hurriedly turned around and left.
After a while, Si Hongcang heard the faint footsteps behind him, and then turned to look at the back of the ugly man whom the villagers called him. I thought to myself: Isn't it just a birthmark on the left cheek that looks like a fire tattoo? Why does everyone think he is ugly? It's really incomprehensible.
On a summer afternoon, a gloomy glow appeared on Chenghu Lake.
She was harvesting the sun-dried long beans, full of sunlight, and gave off a languid smell, mixed with the green aroma of gourd flowers, and the hypnotic buzzing of bees.
Straightening up, the vertebrae made a rattling sound. full of useless. With such a little work, you can do it if you want to die. The boys in the village can run half a mile with water at the age of eleven or two.
There is a water well in her yard. Because of the previous fire, she still saved a sum for the cost of drilling a well under very difficult circumstances, and had someone dig a well in the yard. Of course, she collapsed after only a few dozen steps. Get closer if you know it earlier! But the biggest key is the water source, so we had to accommodate.
This is the world of the goddess, even if she takes a bath by the well. It's just that she still doesn't have the guts to take a shower in the yard. However, there is a Chenghu Lake in the back mountain. How can she not be moved when she sees such a beautiful, clear and pollution-free Chenghu Lake?
Si Hongcang thought to himself, "Why don't you just go over and take a refreshing dip." After thinking about it, I went into the house to get a few changes of clothes, closed the door, pulled my legs, and headed towards Chenghu Lake.
East Village -------
Xu Fumei was very entangled in her heart. Her family was poor and could not afford the dowry that Yang Duoer's father wanted, so her father said that she wanted to marry Yunruo herself, which was really embarrassing!
If Yun is a good son, Xu Fumei also knows it. It's just his face... who can afford it? !
The Xu Yun family has not started to discuss marriage - there is still a sister above Yun Ruo who has not yet said that they are married. It's just that Xu Fumei's father asked someone to propose marriage to Yang Duoer's house, but Yang Duoer's father actually asked for a dowry of twenty taels of silver.
Xu Fumei's father went home angrily and said to Xu Fumei, "Then what's so good about Yang Duoer? If I want to say, Yun Ruo is more gentle and virtuous. Although this face is not good-looking, he is a good man who is good at cooking and can live a good life. What. Pretty enough to eat?"
Chu Fumei suddenly became anxious, "Father, what are you talking about? It's true that Yun Ruo is a good boy, but his face... If I want to marry him, I can't do it every day when I face it like this!"
As a result, her voice became a little louder, so that the loudspeaker next door could hear it, which means that the whole village could hear it————this loudspeaker is a typical big mouth!
Then, under the uproar of the whole village, Yun Ruo voted for Chenghu to seek short-term views.
The author has something to say:
