Ye Zhenzhen's beauty turned pale, she subconsciously covered her stomach and peeked at Brother Zhen's reaction. As a result, she met his dark eyes, which made her even more embarrassed.
Cui Weizhen's eyes turned to her annoyed face, "There are still a few cornbread left from yesterday. I put them in the pot in the kitchen. You can go and eat them."
But he didn't mock her like he did last night.
Ye Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief, but felt embarrassed at the same time, "Have you and mother eaten?"
"I've eaten." Brother Zhen glanced at her, "That's it for today. Remember to get up early tomorrow. There is too much work at home. If you don't get up early, you won't be able to finish it."
Ye Zhenzhen suddenly had a bad premonition, "What job do I want to do?"
What job?
There is work everywhere in the farmhouse, including feeding chickens and cleaning, working in the fields, washing and cooking, collecting and chopping firewood...
Not to mention that the Cui family has a new patient. Waiting for the patient to eat, drink, and defecate requires manpower inside and outside. In short, there is no free time.
Listening to Brother Zhen counting the jobs in detail, Ye Zhenzhen felt as if she had been hit hard by life. The promise she made last night suddenly shriveled up like a deflated balloon.
She ate two steamed buns with cold water and barely filled her stomach. Ye Zhenzhen was not a serious farm girl. Although she had the memory of the original owner, she had no work in her eyes and could only wander around in the yard, not knowing what to do.
What to do.
At this moment, I saw a big hen passing by in a grand manner, pretending to be a cat and teasing a dog, and picked up a handful of it with my hands.
This is incredible. The big hen can now lay an egg every day. She is the golden nugget of the family. She has always taken good care of her like an ancestor. She started to provoke her. Isn’t it because she needs a lesson? So, she was pecked on the back of her hand.
As soon as he hit it, he became famous immediately.
Cui Weizhen came out after giving the medicine to Aunt Wei. Seeing this scene, he really didn't know what to say. He just pretended that he didn't see anything and went into the utility room next to the kitchen.
When he came out, he had a bow and a bag of arrows in his hand.
Seeing him walking out, Ye Zhenzhen immediately followed him, "Brother Zhen, do you want to go hunting in the mountains?"
There is a mountain in Yejia Village, not far from the end of the village. The villagers often go into the mountain to dig some wild vegetables and hunt some forage. Occasionally, they can dig a few pits to catch some wild game.
But there are not many serious hunters. After all, the big insects and wild boars in the mountains are not a joke. Most of them are during the off-season, when small and large groups of strong men go into the mountains to hunt. The harvest depends only on luck. Everyone
We are all farmers with their backs to the loess and their faces to the sky. They feel at ease only after eating the food produced in the ground.
Is it appropriate for Brother Zhen, with his small body, to go into the mountains alone?
Brother Zhen didn't explain much and started to tell her, "There is no pasture at home, so you can bring some back to feed the chickens."
Okay, now you can find a job for yourself.
Ye Zhenzhen didn't want to be just a freeloader, so she turned around and went back to the utility room, carrying the bamboo basket and sickle to follow.
There were quite a few girls and wives in the village who went to work on grass in the mountains. They were looking at Cui Weizhen from time to time, his face flushed with embarrassment. However, Cui Weizhen was so heartbroken that he didn't even look at them. He kept looking at Ye Zhenzhen.
On her body, she was seen pinching a handful of wild vegetables and digging a piece of bamboo shoots. Her movements were very skillful. It seemed that she had done this kind of work a lot in the past.
No, Ye Zhenzhen's grandpa's house had a mountain. She and her grandma had gone up the mountain many times before, so they were very familiar with it. With the addition of the memory of the original owner, she was finally not a useless person who didn't understand anything.
The pigweed has not yet been harvested, but the bamboo basket is already filled with wild vegetables that have been foraged everywhere, especially fungi. Because some people have been poisoned after eating mushrooms before, the villagers dare not touch such things, but it is cheaper for Ye Zhen.
Zhen.
She picked all the mushrooms she knew, and there were not too many. They could be stored for a long time if dried.
The wild vegetables were almost harvested. Ye Zhenzhen didn't notice when Brother Zhen left and started to cut the pasture. This kind of pasture can be fed to chickens or pigs. It grows several times a year and can be found all over the mountains and plains.
In just a short time, a large bundle was cut, filling up the remaining space in the bamboo basket.
"Hey, sister, why are you here? It's just the first day of marriage. You have to work in the mountains. The Cui family is so inconsiderate."
A familiar voice sounded from behind. Ye Zhenzhen wiped the sweat from her head. Looking back, she saw Erya and a group of girls from the village gathered together, looking at her with a bit of gloating and jealousy.
His tone was also a bit harsh, blatantly trying to sow discord.
Ye Zhenzhen sat directly on the root of a tree nearby and looked at them leisurely:
"You're not a noble person. What happened to the work on the first day of marriage? Ask the aunts in the village who didn't come here like this. Second sister, you must not have such thoughts, otherwise no one will be willing to marry you in the future.
, what I want is a wife who works, not a young lady who waits for me."
When did Daya become so sharp-tongued?
Ye Erya didn't want to bear the reputation of being squeamish, so she pretended to be aggrieved and said:
"I just want to care about you. Why is my sister so angry? I know you feel uncomfortable, but you can't take it out on me. You can't marry your cousin, so you can't blame me."
Oh, this little bitch's ability to confuse right and wrong is quite impressive. This ability rivals that of her grandma.
Ye Zhenzhen suppressed her fiery temper and pierced the ground with her sickle. She had a smile on her face, but she had an inexplicable aura of recklessness;
"What kind of cousin is not a cousin? Second sister, what are you talking about? Which young man from all over the country can compare with our brother Zhen? I'm not blind. Why did I abandon my brother Zhen to marry him?
What kind of cousin! Second sister, you are also a member of your own family, so don’t go around ruining my reputation, otherwise don’t blame me for turning against you."
Ye Erya was speechless for a long time, especially since the girls around him couldn't help but nodded in agreement with Ye Daya's words, completely forgetting how the other party had slandered Brother Zhen in public.
They are all a bunch of idiots who are blind to the wind!
"Zhen, brother Zhen!"
Someone screamed in surprise, and everyone turned their attention and found that Brother Zhen had returned at some point, holding a blood-stained rabbit in his hand. He was standing not far away, and he had been listening for some time.
Ye Zhenzhen's face immediately turned red when she thought of what she had just said.
Brother Zhen walked across the crowd without looking sideways, picked up the sickle on the ground and threw it back into the bamboo basket. He carried the bamboo basket on his back and handed the rabbit to Ye Zhenzhen's hand. His expression was indifferent, but he said:
"Go home."
These three simple words made Ye Zhenzhen's heart warm up. Yes, in this strange time and space, she also has a family.
He nodded heavily and couldn't help but smile and squint his eyes. His eyes were like spring flowers in March, full of spring and bright and fragrant.
