Chapter 3 New to the Farmer's Home

Chapter 3 First to the Farmer's Home

But it's better not to take it out. Grandpa told her that this dragon-patterned jade abacus is unique in the world, which also marks her identity. Although Grandpa is easy, no matter if he loses it or dies, he can always return to her the next day, but Grandpa never thought that if it is lost, it will not return to her hands and will be used by the bad people. Or treasure it, isn't she even more unretriable in the future? That is to say, it is unique in the world, so she should cherish it well. She will not reveal this abacus unless she has to.

The next day, the news brought by the uncle's running was fruitless. Yan Chan was a little disappointed and cried with his aunt in his arms. The uncle's original words were: "Today, when I went to the market, I asked the end of the alleyway, and the neighbors have asked all over. No one knows that there is a big Yan family near here. What should I do?"

"We always have a way. Will it be on the mountain?" The aunt suggested it. There are many fierce beasts on the mountain, and the road is not easy to walk. I'm afraid it will take some time. After all, the uncle runs around all year round, and he still knows something about it.

The aunt went to feed the chickens, ducks, pigs and cows. The uncle went to chop wood and prepare for cooking in the evening. Yan Chen leaned against the door frame and didn't know what to do. The baby and Niuniu also lay quietly around her. Yan Chen hugged Niuniu's head and gently pulled Niuniu's ears. Niuniu was also obedient and didn't say anything. It was the same. After lying down for a long time, he hummed impatiently.

Yan Qian didn't know how long it would take to go home. He thought about whether he should give some more golden balls to the Li couple. Although they said that there was no shortage, their family was not a rich family. The aunt's daughter left the cabinet last year. The husband's family was in good condition, but the Li family had to go to the market to buy some chickens and ducks in exchange for silver. I'm homesick when I think about it. I don't know if Grandpa has lost his temper. Did he look for her?

But after all, it's a child's mind, playful, and curious about everything. After being sad for a while, Yan Zhen took the baby girl to the pigsty to make trouble. Since he came to the Li family, Yan Cen has developed a habit during this period. He took two tigers to the pigsty when he had nothing to do. Looking at the pigs running around scared by the baby girl, afraid that she would get into the tiger's mouth, she smiled heartlessly. When the aunt heard the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping over, she saw Yan Zhen pulling a little pig, with two or three straws on his head, a group of messy pigs running around, and the periphery of the pig was two tiger-eyed snow tigers walking back and forth.

In this scene, it was chaotic and embarrassing. The desolate one was the pig, and the embarrassed one was Yan Zhen. The only one who was both excited and calm was the two snow tigers. The uncle and the aunt were immediately amused. She laughed and said that she was naughty.

In fact, the days of having fun are very fast. Every day, I take the baby girl and my aunt to the riverside to wash clothes, then pick some fruits and go to the market to help the uncle buy chickens and ducks. Many peasant women see that Yan Cheng is lively and cute, and always like to take her to chat and ask questions. Naturally, in this case, the baby girl can't take care of, otherwise The city is about to jump. The situation of chickens and ducks running around is that they are not at home. The end of the baby girl is a chicken and duck feathers. Although there were no major casualties, it was inevitable to be scolded by Yan Zhen. After that, the baby girl still had a lot of fun.

The time to get to Li's house is almost half a year, and it is approaching the end of the year. Since the last time they gave two golden bullets, the Li family no longer refused to accept Yan Qian's golden balls. The aunt of the Li family also made a small dark bag for her clothes. She said that she put valuable things in it and was not afraid to lose them. After thinking about it, she put the small abacus in it, leaving only the jade bow and golden balls in the small bag they usually bring. In fact, Yan Qian is not very clear whether it is enough or not. Usually, the business of the Li family is full of copper and silver, and gold is rare.

Thinking about the end of the Spring Festival, Yan Chan used to add a lot of things when he was with his grandfather. So she took out six golden balls and stuffed them for her aunt to buy things. The aunt couldn't resist Yan, so she asked her uncle to smash the golden balls. Why do you want to break it? Isn't the whole better? Yan Chen said that he didn't understand the practice of breaking it.

"Silly boy, this golden ball, in our small place, if you go out one by one, it's too much, and it's not cost-effective." Aunt patiently taught Yan Chan. Since coming to the Li family, although she doesn't have to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and female needlework, Yanchen has learned how to make a living and how to spend money for a living.

She took her aunt to the cloth shop and made two or three sets of clothes for them. Yan Chen wanted to order silk clothes, but her aunt said that this is not practical for farmers. It will be dirty and torn in less than two days of work. She and her uncle's clothes should choose linen, but she said that she would make silk for Yan Chen, because this was her silver. Yan Qian shook his head and said, "With the care of his uncle and aunt, he didn't have to live on the street. He has lived in the Li family for so long and is used to the life of cloth."

"Oh, hey, good boy, I really wronged you. Obviously, he is the child of a big family, but he suffers with us." As the aunt spoke, she couldn't help bursting into tears. This is the blessing of the couple for several generations.

Yan Qian smiled and said, "Auncle, why don't we pick up the house and decorate it? The wall is cracked."

"It's good to be able to live. Let's not do it." The aunt still seems to have some scruples about saying this.

"Do it, there are still a lot of broken gold." Yan Cheng wrapped around his aunt, "Dian paste the wall and add some bricks and tiles. Is it okay?"

"Well, that's all right. Go home and talk to your uncle." The woman is always soft-hearted and treats Yan Cheng as half a child.

In fact, for more than half a year, Yan has also known that Yan Cheng stayed in the farmer's house, but did not interfere much and adopted a free-range attitude. I hope that Yan Zhen can learn to be independent, learn to be self-reliant, and learn to grow up, instead of a naive child who has no worries about food and clothing. Why do you know how to stay at a farmer's house? It's very simple. It's hard to know if you don't know about those two snow tigers. The old man just said lightly: "No one else is allowed to interfere in everything. If it is a critical moment of life and death, take action if it is urgent, and report it to me if it is not urgent. It's up to me."

Therefore, all the actions of Yan Chan know, even if he eats a few bowls of rice. But Yan Chan doesn't know anything about it. I still think grandpa didn't find her. Of course, she doesn't know. In fact, there are eighteen Taibao around her who are protected in the dark.

There are a total of 100 golden balls in Yan's bag. Now eight have been removed, and there are still ninety-two left. Go back and add bricks and tiles with your uncle and aunt, and paint them with green mud. Placing the New Year's goods, pasting Spring Festival couplets, inverting blessings, etc., the Li family's house suddenly became happy, much newer than before.
