Chapter 1 - Cuifeng Village (non-renewal of catching insects)
“Youjin came back up the mountain again? You are not afraid of crushing a person with such a heavy bamboo basket.”
Carrying a bamboo basket full of pigweed on the back, when I heard someone calling her, Yueyoujin, who was still walking with her head buried, raised her head and smiled and said hello to the woman on the roadside: “Aunt Wu.”
Looking at her thin body, the middle-aged woman, who was called as five aunts in her early thirties, flashed a bit of intolerance in her eyes, and said: “Your grandmother sent you to work again?”
With regard to the villagers ’eyes of pity and sympathy, Yueyoujin has been used to it for a long time and nodded with a smile:“ Grandma said that the pigs and herds are all gone. This year ’s hopes are all on several pigs. Only then will there be money for my little brother. “
“Yes, your mother Niang looks different from the front. If you can have a son, your sisters will be better off …” Aunt Wu sighed slightly when she thought of the messy day at Yue’s house Sigh, they are all pitiful!
“Aunt Wu, I won’t tell you anymore. When I came out, Grandma said that the pigs in the house are about to flip the door of the pigsty. I have to go back soon.” Seeing what she wanted to say, Yueyoujin hurriedly interrupted her. Head, he walked back to the house carrying heavy bamboo baskets.
Thinking of the old Chen’s cruelty to these granddaughters one by one, the aunt Wu no longer stopped her, looked at the thin and crumbling figure carrying a bamboo basket, sighed, these eleven-year-old girls, looked at At the age of six or seven, my family’s heart is really cruel this month!

Turning from the main road of the village to the intersection where Yue’s house is located, there are several families away from the door of Yuejiayuan. Yueyoujin saw several villagers standing outside the door of their courtyard and plucking inside. In the courtyard, Yue Youjin also heard the sharp female voice for eleven years: “However, a few lose money, still want to call Langzhong? Still want japonica rice porridge?”
Along with the sharp female voice, there was also a thin little girl crying, and then a voice like a female duck sounded, clearly comforting and actually inflaming the wind: “Brother and sister, please hurry up and let a few children stop crying. The luck of a family is crying, then … “
Hearing her saying this, the owner of the sharp female voice became even more furious: “All day long, besides eating is crying, and crying again to see that I will not kill you a few money-losers!” the sound of.
The little girls were beaten so badly that they could only bite their cracked lips and dared not make any more sounds.
Hearing the movements at home, Yueyoujin hurried through the crowd and pushed open the courtyard door with a slight gap: “Grandma, I’m back!”
The old Chen who was struggling vigorously was interrupted, and the very unpleasant sharp eyes glared over, but he saw the villagers who were squeezing outside looking at him.
Taking advantage of the old Chen’s lack of attention, Yueyoujin hurried to the little girls who had been shattered by the old Chen’s clothes and their clothes were all gray. After a while, make the milk angry again, don’t you? Go back to my room and kneel! “Carrying everyone, taking advantage of everyone’s lack of attention, made several glances towards Ermeiyue Youyin.
Yueyouyin naturally accepted the elder sister’s eyes and hurriedly dragged the two younger sisters back to the Western Chamber, leaving Yueyoujin alone to face the old Chen.
Seeing that all the money-losing goods had ran away, the old Chen transferred all the displeasure to Yueyoujin: “How did you let you go to cut the pigweed for so long to come back? Where did you go again?” The bamboo whip she held seemed to greet Yueyoujin whenever she made a mistake.
Yueyoujin hurriedly smiled and walked to the old Chen’s side to help her: “There have been fewer hogweeds on the mountain recently, and they have gone further. Grandma, please go back and rest, and I will feed the pigs. “
Looking at her worn-out clothes and a lot of mud prints, and then looking at the clean cotton clothes on her body, she pushed the people away: “Go, do n’t be an eye-catcher to me. The pig is fed, and the pig is about to top the pigsty door. If the pig runs, you can wait for me! ” room.
After watching the old Chens and others go away, Yueyoujin relieved heavily, and then hurriedly carried pigweed to the pigsty.

The surname of Cuifeng Village is the surname of Yue. There are about 70 or 80 households in the village. Although the Yue family in the village can’t compare with the sharp ones, they are not too poor. At that time, the old man of the family, Yue Dafu, ran outside with the merchant for many years, and saved a lot of family property. Then he returned to Cuifeng Village to buy more than 30 acres of good land, and built a large and spacious blue brick building. In Cuifeng Village, it can be regarded as a person with a head and a face.
The youngest daughter of the family head of the Chenjiacun village married by Yuedafu had three sons and one daughter, and it was a very smooth life. Now that he is old, he can be regarded as a face-to-face person in the village. What is obsessive is nothing more than two things: one is the grandson of the imperial examination, the old man has worked hard all his life, and has seen many people with warmth and coldness, knowing that the children of the official family are the roots of making a fortune. And the grandson was smart and intelligent since childhood, and Mr. Yue placed all his hopes on him.
The second is that the second son’s family has never been able to give birth to a son. Everyone has four children and one daughter. The third family also has two children and one daughter. Only the second family has seven daughters in a row. Now Su Shi is pregnant with another baby. Mr. Yue is also looking forward to giving birth to a band to inherit the incense to the second family.
It has been 15 years since the second house became a family, but it has had seven daughters in a row. Therefore, Yue Changlu and his wife have a very low status at home, and Yue Changlu even beats his wife and children because he ca n’t even lift his head. Out of breath. Although Su’s heart is protecting several daughters, he has no choice but to have no one in his family, and he is also insecure. He only hopes that this is a big fat boy in his stomach, so that she can live better with her seven daughters.
The young Ting out of the big house is the longest, and the young lotus out of the third room is the second, followed by the gold and silver jewelry of the second room, and the seven daughters of the silk silk.
When Yueyue Jin finished feeding the pigs and returned to the west room, the twins of Qimeiyouling and Bameiyoulu had already cried and fell asleep, and Simeiyouyin was holding the two-year-old Jiumeiling. Then, she wiped her tears while coaxing it, presumably it was only after the old Chen’s beaten a bit.
Seeing that the elder sister was back, Youyin quickly hugged Jiumei and stood up: “Sister, Jiumei has become hot, and Grandma refuses to call Langzhong. How can this be good?”
Upon hearing Jiumei’s fever, Youjin hurriedly took Jiumei out of Yuyin’s arms and saw that Xiaojiu, who had burned a thin skin and a red face, was still conscious?
“Sister, if you continue to burn like this, will Xiaojiu …” Yue Youyin remembers her eyes wide and staring at her with helplessness, placing all her hopes on her.
“How about the father and mother?” Youjin probed Xiao Jiu’s forehead. It was estimated that he had burned to a high fever. Xiao Jiu was only two years old. In this way, he would only burn the child, and he must become a fool if he didn’t die!
“Dad said early this morning to go to Liutun Town to find a job. The mother was on the kang, her stomach hurts, and the five sisters and six sisters were watching inside.” You Yin’s voice was a little dumb.
Seen through the paper windows that had broken through many holes, there was no one else in the courtyard. Young Jin gritted his teeth, and then put Xiao Jiu back into Young Yin’s hands and hugged: “You and wait.” On the edge of the kang that he slept with a few sisters, he dug in the corner of the wall for a while, and finally took out a dozen copper plates.
Carefully put the money in her arms, and then watched her take the Xiao Jiu out of the Kang hole and took Xiao Jiu in her arms. “I took Xiao Jiu to Ma Dafu’s house, you are at home, If the milk comes to me, you can find someone to block your head. “Regardless of Yu Yin’s reaction, he quietly slipped out holding Xiao Jiu. Dr. Ma lives in the middle of a tourist village at the foot of Cuifeng Village. Usually, the big guys have headaches and brain fever and they go to him for treatment.
Watching my sister slip out of the house like a thief, Yue Youyin recovered. When did your elder sister hide so many coins in Kangdong? But she didn’t dare to think too much, just like a bird with a startled bow, twirling around the room, fearing that the old Chen or someone else would come to the door.

Besides, Yueyoujin slipped out of the house and trot all the way with Xiao Jiuyi to Ma Dafu’s house. It was Lin’s lady Madam who came to answer the door. As soon as Lin opened the door, she was panting, and she saw that Xiao Jiu, who was holding in her arms, had a strange red face, and quickly put the people in: “Old man, come out!”
The doctor with some gray hair walked out of the main room pacing: “What is your wife doing like a stunner?”
“Grandpa Ma, please help me Jiumei! Somehow, the fever is starting!” The young Jin holding Xiaojiu was so anxious that his eyes were red and he knelt in front of the doctor.
Lin was taken aback by her movements, and quickly helped the people up: “You boy, what is this for?”
As soon as Ma Dafu heard that the child had a high fever, he quickly squeezed his breath, carefully pulsed Xiao Jiu, and then picked up some herbs for the young gold: “Go to the kitchen and boil these three bowls of water into a bowl. She irrigates, maybe it will be better. “
Young Jin couldn’t help but thank her, holding the herbs and followed Lin’s to Ma’s kitchen to make medicine.
The pots of various medicines in Ma’s kitchen are naturally complete, and the young gold quickly boiled them back. He came back with a bowl full of dark medicine.
While the young gold was taking medicine, Dr. Ma pierced Xiaojiu with a needle. Although he did not have a fever, Xiaojiu was awake.
“Xiaojiu, you can get better after drinking the medicine.” Youjin coaxed Xiaojiu to drink a large bowl of medicine. Although Xiao Jiu was young, he did not cry because of the situation at home. After taking the medicine, he snuggled up in the arms of You Jin, and soon fell asleep.
After about half an hour, Dr. Ma cut the pulse to Xiao Jiu, and his heart was relieved: “Take a few more pills and it will be better in a few days.”
Young Jin looked at Dr. Ma and his wife gratefully: “Grandma Ma and Grandma Ma, thank you for saving Xiao Jiuyi’s life. I don’t have any money …” The only thirteen copper plates were pulled out of my arms , “I will pay the money first, and I will save it before I return it to you …” After saying this, Young Jin felt that her cheeks were a little hot. In the past and present life, the medical expenses owed to others are still First time.
Doctor Ma looked at the copper coins stained with a little ash, sighed slightly, and pushed the copper plate back to the young gold: “I will prescribe three more pills for you, take it back, boil it for Xiao Jiu every day, and slowly raise a few It may be better in the future. You can take this silver back and give it to me later when you have more money in hand. “
Dr. Ma was a little embarrassed to call Young Jin like this: “How can this be done? Dr. Ma saved my sister’s life, although we don’t have a dozen copper plates, we should pay.”
Seeing her persevere like this, Dr. Ma took five of the copper plates: “It’s not easy for your mother and daughter to have some silver around them. I collected the five articles, and the rest is what I lent you. Take you soon Sister’s house, go. “
It was n’t too early to see the sky outside. Presumably, after a while, the old Chen would be looking for himself, so he held Xiao Jiu respectfully and knelt in front of the doctor to thank him for his life-saving grace, and then took the doctor ’s gift San Tie Yao went home.
After sending away the younger sisters, Lin returned to the house and gave the doctor a white glance: “You are so kind, how can you still receive the silver of the younger ones, don’t you know what day their mother and daughter live?”
Doctor Ma sighed: “Youjin is a child with a strong temperament. If I don’t accept a pen, she will be uneasy in her heart. It is also a pitiful child for her to accept the five pens!”
