Farmhouse Green Plum

Daya thought about it and thought that the farmers’ wedding ceremony was at dusk, so if she hurried in the afternoon, she could finish the work before that time, so she nodded in agreement.

Song Yuan was excited when he heard this, and immediately said: "Sister, I won't follow you tomorrow. Grandma and my mother are going to the Wang family to help, I will follow them."

Without waiting for Daya to speak, Lai Di smiled and said, "Okay, tomorrow's herbs won't be counted for you."

Song Yuan paused and became troubled. In the past half month, he had earned a total of 10 cents and had eaten steamed buns, candies and fried cakes. It was the happiest half month of his life.

If I don’t keep the herbs, I won’t have money, and I won’t be able to eat delicious food next time; when my father has a banquet, he will pack up the meat and bring it back, but the newlyweds will give out wedding candy…

After a long struggle, he finally stopped struggling and sighed, "Then I'll just follow you. After all, when they give out wedding candies, grandma and mom will keep some for me. But they definitely won't receive as much as the kids, so they'll have to share some with my brother, hey."

Daya couldn't help laughing, shook her head and said, "Don't worry, the wedding candies will be distributed after the bride arrives. We should finish work early tomorrow and go before the bride arrives."

"Really?" The listless Song Yuan immediately became excited, sweeping away his previous dejection.

After breakfast the next day, Li stopped Daya who was about to wash the dishes.

"It's getting colder, so pick up a few more bundles of firewood today and clean the house inside and out.

Your second uncle is going to catch eels, so I will cook lunch for you three siblings. I will put the rice on the cupboard, and take a piece of bacon down from the chimney. Dish up the bacon and cook the rice. After you eat, don't go to the Wang family and wait for them. I can't afford to lose face as a man!"

Daya nodded: "I know."

When the adults are helping out at the host's house and the children go over to play, it would be difficult for the host to not invite the children to the table to eat when it is time for dinner.

She was not so shameless as to be laughed at for having no manners just for a meal.

Daya glanced at Song Tian and felt that her grandmother should emphasize these words to Song Tian. Given his temper, he would most likely go there during mealtime.

As if he had heard her thoughts, Second Uncle Song raised his head, stared at Song Tian closely, and said sternly: "Especially you, if you come over here to eat and drink for free again today, I will sew your mouth shut!"

Song Tian smiled playfully: "I know, I'll go herd the cattle!"

Li was worried and said, "Tie up the cows. If you let them eat other people's crops again, I will break your legs."

Song Tian was still smiling and didn't take her threat seriously at all. Li had always protected him and never hit him.

After giving instructions to the younger ones, Li said to Uncle Song, "Come back early this afternoon and come to the banquet in the evening. Bring Yuanwa with you."

"Ah?" Daya was surprised.

Li looked at him with a frown: "What are you talking about? You still want your second uncle to take you there? You are so old, do you have the nerve to do that?"

Then, he softened his tone and said, "Yuan Wa is still young and won't be around for many years. If you want to eat meat, I'll buy you more meat this New Year so you can eat as much as you want!"

Daya pursed her lips. It was precisely because her younger brother was young that she could pack up the food and bring it back in his name so that everyone could eat together. If he went to the banquet with them, it would be difficult to pack up the food.

She was not too disappointed and secretly glanced at the bedroom, where her private money was hidden under the bed.

It’s better to have money, so she decided to go to the county to buy some meat buns to compensate herself next time.

The surprise came too suddenly, and Song Yuan was immediately as happy as Maitreya Buddha. Seeing Daya's disappointment, he said, "Sister, don't worry, I'll pack it up for you!"

Li ignored them, picked up her apron, and hurried to Wang's house with Yang to help. Uncle Song also went out carrying a bamboo basket.

When I returned home at noon, Song Tian was not back as expected.

Daya pretended to shout a few times outside the yard, then turned around and shared his meal with Song Yuan, having a rare full meal.

After cleaning the house, they immediately went to Songlinpo. Today's task was tight and they had to hurry.

Lai Di's family and Wang's family are neighbors, separated by only a wall. As soon as they met, Lai Di sighed: "I heard from my mother that Song Tian went to find your grandmother and second aunt at noon on the pretext of forgetting to bring his keys, and then he slipped away to help light the fire in front of the stove, and naturally stayed for dinner.

My mother scolded me for not being as smart as him. Haha, if I were really as smart as Song Tian, I would get into trouble every other day. She would have beaten me to death a long time ago. "

Daya:......

Sometimes she really felt that her grandmother and the others were very contradictory, especially when it came to educating her two cousins. On the one hand, they taught them not to steal, rob, etc.

But if what they did was not discovered by outsiders, grandma and the others would not punish them. Even if they gained benefits from it, grandma and the others would privately praise Song Tian and Song Yuan for their cleverness.

For example, this time Song Tian went to Wang's house to eat and drink for free. Grandma really didn't want Song Tian to go. In fact, there were many ways to get him to leave, but judging from the final result, grandma must have been like Rulai Di Niang, and believed from the bottom of her heart that Song Tian was smart.

Time passed slowly, and at the end of the Shen hour, the faint sound of festive suona could be heard.

Song Yuan jumped up in surprise: "The wedding party is back! The bride is here, hurry up!"

Although Songmao was still in danger, Daya and her companions quickly went down the mountain, went home to put away their backpacks, and ran towards the village entrance.

Not only them, almost all the children in the village rushed over and ran around the sedan chair.

The shameless people headed by Song Tian clapped their hands and sang: "Ding Ding Cat, wearing a red skirt, Sister Gao is the matchmaker, Ma Zi Niangniang is the drummer, Banzhu Yaya is carrying the sedan chair, those who carry the sedan chair, carry it slowly, otherwise the girl will be tripped, and the girl is wearing embroidered shoes..."

The song was sung over and over again, making the groom smile like a flower, and he even grabbed handfuls of candy and threw them at them.

The children immediately squatted on the ground to grab the goods and sent them all the way to Wang's house.

Lai Di spread her hands and said happily, "I got five candies, how about you?"

Xiaoxiang was a little frustrated, "Four."

"Six dollars." Daya couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

"Wow! All you have are winter melon candy and orange candy, Daya, can I exchange two pieces with you? I only have one piece of winter melon candy, and the rest are rock candy." Lai Di begged.

This comparison is indeed a bit miserable, Daya was happy: "Okay, I'll give you a piece of orange candy and a piece of winter melon candy in exchange."

"Sister, I only have one piece." Song Yuan hugged her arms, tilted his head back, and almost cried out of grievance.

"Uh……"

"They kept pushing me and I couldn't squeeze in." Song Yuan felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke. He looked at the handful of milk in his sister's hand and compared it with his own pitiful handful. He could no longer hold back his tears and started to cry. He opened his mouth and was about to burst into tears.

Daya was quick to cover his mouth the moment he opened it, and then put two pieces of winter melon candies and two pieces of rock candies in his hand, keeping only her favorite two pieces of orange candies for herself.

"Don't cry, go to the church quickly, or you won't be able to squeeze in because there will be too many people."

Song Yuan sniffed, "Just give me two pieces. I have to have a feast later."

As he said this, he returned the two pieces of rock candy to Daya.
