Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

  Liu Changfu is a villager of Xiangshan Village No. 2. His ancestors committed crimes and were exiled here, but since his grandfather moved to Xiangshan Village, their household registration has long been changed from criminal registration to good registration.

   But they are still different in the eyes of outsiders.

  It is very difficult for them to find work in the town and county. Even if it is a hard worker on the dock, it is half the wages for them to do it, and they may not be able to get the work.

   He learned the craftsmanship of carpentry from his ancestors, but in Xiangshan Village and Sin Village, where everyone's living conditions are placed, he was only paid with some grain or eggs, and he rarely made money.

  So Zai Li was looking for him to go to work in the village of Sin Village, and he promised to come when he said that he could get 20 clerical wages a day.

Liu Changfu ran home excitedly, and happily said to his mother and wife: "Lizheng found me a job, in the village of sin, it is estimated that it will take about half a month to do it, and I can earn twenty cents a day. You also pack room and board, pack me a suit, and I'll leave tomorrow."

  Mother Liu was surprised, "There is such a good job in Sin Village? Don't be deceived."

   "It was introduced by Li Zheng, how could he be deceived?" Liu Changfu said: "And who did you invite us to? It's the master scholar from Qiongzhou. He lives in the first village of Sin Village."

   Liu's wife's eyes lit up, "But that Gu Xianggong from the Qin family?"

   Liu Changfu nodded, "It's him."

"Mother, I got this job. He's a gentleman Xiucai, how can he lie to us?" Liu's wife whispered, "Isn't the caravan that often comes to our village to collect seafood also organized by Duke Xiucai? He grew up in Sin Village. , to those of us who are different from those out there."

   Mother Liu also felt relieved, "Then I'll pack some rice for you to bring along, just in case."

   Liu Changfu didn't refuse this time. If he couldn't get enough to eat at Qin's house, he could do it in private.

   At the same time, the people sent by Li Zheng sent oral messages to the other four carpenters one after another. Like Liu Changfu, they agreed almost without thinking.

   In Sin Village and Xiangshan Village, it is too difficult to find a part-time job, and it is easy to find one, and everyone naturally grasps it firmly.

   Early the next morning, the five carpenters carried their tools and headed towards Sin Village at the same time from different places.

   When Liu Changfu arrived in the first village, the other four carpenters arrived, and he also realized that the Qin family had hired so many carpenters, and his face instantly flushed, for fear that he would be brushed off.

   The other four carpenters also looked at each other and became wary of each other.

  Li Baolu brought Big Sister Zhang here, but there was no other way. Gu Jingyun and Qin Xinfang went to the county town to meet the shopkeeper He, and she was the only person in the family who was suitable to come forward.

   The key is that no one thought the carpenters would come so quickly.

  Li Baolu deliberately combed a married woman's hair and wore a scarlet 12 Yao skirt, which made her more than three years old.

   She didn't let the five people into Qin's house, and temporarily arranged them in the abandoned house at the end of the village.

   There are several such houses in the village, all of which were left by predecessors.

   Sister Zhang walked back half a step beside Li Baolu, looking like her girl. Li Baolu couldn't help but admire her wink. Even if she had the memory of her previous life, she couldn't learn this kind of heart.

   Seeing Li Baolu approaching dignifiedly, the five men all stood bewildered, and hummed: "Master's young lady."

  Li Baolu nodded slightly to the five, and said, "The five are all invited by my Qin family. Before, I only said that I would invite you to do carpentry, but I didn't say what to do. Now I will tell you."

"We have a new baby in our family, so we have to build a room for her to play with. Almost all the things in it are woodworking. I'm afraid that one person can't make it in a year, so I want to invite the five of you together. Today It's too late, you should rest first. I will take you into the house tomorrow to see. After reading the drawings, we will discuss who will do which part, how to do it, and what is needed. These things can't be done in two or three days. You guys Don't worry, as long as you don't deliberately delay working hours, I will pay you a lot of money."

"The wages will be calculated from tomorrow, twenty cents a day, ten days a day, and our Qin Mansion will cover the board and lodging. The five of you live in this house temporarily, and I will make up for the lack of daily necessities for you. As for food Yes, have you seen this little girl, I will give her all the rice and vegetables, and she will make them and bring them to you, three meals a day, and you will have enough food."

Seeing the hurried disappearance of the faces of the five people, and looking at her with vague anticipation, Li Baolu changed the subject: "Because things are for children, they must be polished smoothly and finely, and they must be firm. Tonight, you should think about whether If you can do it, if you can't put it forward as soon as possible, we can send you off and find someone from the county seat."

   Liu Changfu couldn't help but ask: "I don't know what the young lady is going to do, let us know in advance that we have a good idea."

   "It's just some toys," Li Baolu showed them the landslide drawings designed by Gu Jingyun. "This is one of them. The child will slide on it, so the slide should be polished and smooth, and the entire landslide should be stable and safe. Can you do it?"

   This is much easier than making a cabinet. The bed and the box are much easier. When they make the cabinet and the bed, they still need to carve.

   "We can do this, and how long does it take? If there is wood, we can make one in four or five days. It is guaranteed to be smooth and smooth without any barbs."

Li Baolu smiled and said: "That's good, but this is just one of them, there are many small toys, and you need to choose what kind of wood you need so that we can let them cut it. This can't be said in a few words, today you guys Just rest."

Li Baolu paused and said, "The five of you also know that we are a village of sin, and few outsiders come here, so the children are quite naughty, if you can go out less, go out less, lest those children play tricks on you Come on."

   The five people froze in their hearts, and naturally knew that Li Baolu was not talking about children, but adults. Everyone knew that the ten villages of crime were divided according to the severity of the crimes.

   The person who will be assigned to a village is someone who is so wicked that he can beheaded in one step.

   The five people promised not to walk around, so Li Baolu left with Sister Zhang.

   Sister Zhang walked silently behind Li Baolu, and asked after a while, "Am I cooking in your house or in a waste house?"

   "In my house, the stove in the abandoned house has not been used for a long time, so it may not be able to use."

   Sister Zhang nodded silently.

   "You can bring the second sister to help, it will be faster."

   Sister Zhang shook her head, "No, I'll do it alone."

   "Speaking of which, I haven't seen my second sister for a long time, why doesn't she come to play with me?"

   Big Sister Zhang said with a serious face: "My father is going to kiss her, and she is busy raising her at home during this time, so I won't let her go out."

   "Second sister is going to talk about others, but there is a candidate?"

   "Yes," Zhang Damei remained expressionless, "he is from Sancun, a very handsome young man."

  Li Baolu was disappointed, "So soon, everyone has grown up."

   Big sister Zhang looked up at Li Baolu. Some of the fat babies had fine fluff on their faces, as delicate as jade. Their faces were already frosty, but her eyes were as pure as before.

Zhang Damei looked down at her hands. Because of her work and prolonged exposure, her hands were not only thick with calluses, but also dark. She had occasionally heard Gu Jingyun tell Li Baolu that she was too dark. Let her grow white at home.

   How did you feel at that time?

  Li Baolu only basked in the sun occasionally, but she was called black by Gu Jingyun because she was not white enough. How could they get into his eyes?

   In the final analysis, life is not good, they are all the same sinners, but Li Baolu can get rid of the crime since she was a child, and she doesn't have to worry about living and the happiness of marriage.

   Sister Zhang followed Li Baolu back to the Qin Mansion, and after making sure it was time for her to cook the next day, she left.

   Zhang Ermei was locked in the room by her. She opened the door and glanced at the spinning machine in the corner. Seeing that there was still so much hemp in the basket, she couldn't help frowning, "You didn't work today?"

   Ermei Zhang pursed her lips and glared at her, "Eldest sister, let me out!"

"Going out and causing trouble for the Zhang family?" Sister Zhang stepped forward and wrapped the hemp silk on the spinning machine one by one, and said expressionlessly: "Don't think I don't know your thoughts, Li Baolu is good at talking, but Gu Jingyun is not a vegetarian. ."

   Zhang Ermei glared at her angrily.

   "Father and eldest brother have already found a husband's house for you. You have met that young man. He is hard-working and honest, and he is more than enough for you..."

   "Then why don't you go?" Zhang Ermei shouted, "Why didn't you get married, you are older than me."

Big sister Zhang sighed, turned her head to look at Ermei Zhang seriously, and said, "I don't marry because I think the life of a married person is the same as a person who doesn't get married. When you get married, you have to serve your parents-in-law and your husband, just like going to the sea to catch the sea. Going to the sea to fish and take care of the food and clothing of the whole family is just as painful. Since it is better not to marry, then I have the support of my brothers, at least I don’t have to go out to fish, and I can take care of my father and brothers. But you are willing to live forever Such a day?"

   Zhang Ermei was stunned.

Zhang Damei turned her head and continued her work, "I know what you think, you think that your reading and literacy are different from others, but which of the children in our village is illiterate? Not to mention Li Baolu, what do you compare to her? They are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she taught your calligraphy."

  Ermei Zhang pursed her lips and said, "I, I never wanted to compare with Sister Baolu..."

   "You want to be Gu Jingyun's concubine, but you don't want to compare yourself with Li Baolu?" A sneer appeared on Zhang Damei's expressionless face, "Are you overestimating yourself, or are you used to deceiving yourself?"

   Zhang Ermei's eyes were red and she said, "Eldest sister, I'm your sister, how can you say that to me?"

   "If you weren't my sister, I wouldn't tell you," Big Sister Zhang said sternly, "You forgot how eldest brother almost lost his life back then?"

   "I, I don't harm him, I adore him."

   "He won't despise your admiration," Big Sister Zhang said coldly: "He will only see that you hurt Li Baolu. You don't know how much he values ​​Li Baolu? What can you do with his stingy character?"
