6. Chapter 6

Yang Haiyan: "That's good. Go ahead and eat it. The noodles are a bit mushy. Ah, I'll wait for you outside. When you're done eating, give me the food and I'll take it back with you." Then she gave him the basket. He took the basket from yesterday again.

Qin Fang thought for a while, then pulled her up and said, "Come here."

Yang Haiyan lowered her eyes and watched him holding her hand. The rough hand was covered with calluses and was very strong. She smiled unconsciously and was in a good mood.

Qin Fang was a little nervous and didn't pay attention when he took her hand, but now, the woman's soft hand was in his, and the touch was too obvious. Fortunately, we arrived at our destination soon, which was on a few rocks nearby. Qin Fang immediately let go of her hand: "Sit here and rest for a while. I'll eat here and give it to you when I'm done."

Yang Haiyan: "Okay."

Qin Fang took out a large soup bowl from the basket, then opened the lid and saw two golden poached eggs on it. His appetite was whetted, but he did not eat it immediately, but asked: "Have you eaten? "

Yang Haiyan: "Eat it."

In this way, Qin Fang started to eat with big mouthfuls. The delicious soup and sweet cabbage made him feel happy with every bite. He joined the army at the age of sixteen and turned twenty this year. In four years, he climbed from a soldier to a centurion and put in a lot of hard work. The hardships of these efforts were all borne by himself. He never told his family These. At this moment, someone was cooking and delivering food to him, which made him feel warm in his heart.

Qin Fang ate very quickly. A large bowl of noodle soup filled his stomach. He was not very full but seventy percent full. He had a big appetite, and he didn't expect that this miserable woman cooked a lot of food. "I left a tael of silver for Sister-in-law Lu to take care of you. Did Sister-in-law Lu give you the money?"

Yang Haiyan: "I gave it to you when I woke up a while ago. I bought buckets, bowls, chopsticks, cutlery, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc. for my family, but they are gone now."

Qin Fang felt a pain in his body. Two years ago, he was just a soldier serving with no monthly salary, so he couldn't save money. At the age of nineteen, he became a centurion. He had a monthly salary of one or two months each month, except for his own food, and sent it to his family. , he had saved five taels of silver in the past two years, but within three days, one tael of silver was gone, which was more painful than cutting his flesh.

But Qin Fang also knew that there was no way to buy more furniture.

Qin Fang: "Yeah." As he said that, he stood up, took out a money bag from his arms, and touched it with his hands. Finally he gritted his teeth and took out a piece of silver, about three hundred yuan, "Here." After thinking about it, I thought, my thirty kilograms of food a month is not enough to eat, and I have to spend three hundred cash every month to buy food. Is three hundred cash a month enough for this woman? Gritting his teeth, Qin Fang said again: "Save some flowers, if you don't have enough, ask me again. Also, you are so thin, don't just give me food, you should also eat something good yourself." He felt like his mouth was in need of a slap.

Yang Haiyan saw his expression in her eyes, and she smiled sweetly: "Thank you, sir, I will save the money."

Qin Fang is not particular about what he eats, as long as he can fill his stomach. He can have simple meals, but his stomach must be filled. Because only by filling his stomach can he grow well, have strength, and fight. His ideas are very clear. "You don't have to come to see me off tomorrow. I'll just eat in the kitchen."

Yang Haiyan: "I like to deliver food to you. I am here to deliver food. Seeing that you are well, I feel at ease."

Qin Fang: "..." Oops, her heartbeat is a little fast. This terrible woman is so good at talking. First she used food to trick him into giving him money, and now she's trying to trick his heart, "That's up to you."

Yang Haiyan: "Okay. Don't forget to eat the snacks in the lunch box."

Qin Fang: "I know." As he approached the military camp with his lunch box, he was thinking that he wouldn't be able to save any money this year, and he was upset. When he entered the camp and saw a box full of lard residue, he felt his heart beating again. This woman... left all the delicious food for him. No wonder she was so thin. Next time I come, let yourself take a good supplement.

"It smells so good, Boss Qin, what did my sister-in-law bring you?"

"Boss Qin, don't eat alone."

"Boss Qin..."

"Boss Qin, all the brothers are drooling."

"Boss Qin..."

Qin Fang looked at the people squeezing into the door, with their dark smiling faces, and wanted to throw them out.

Yang Haiyan walked on the road with a smile, thinking to herself: This man is a bit cute.

When Yang Haiyan returned home, she saw someone standing at the door of her house. This person... "Dahua." It was the heroine Yang Dahua.

Yang Dahua is ordinary from top to bottom, with ordinary appearance and average figure, but in fact, she is very smart.

Yang Dahua also just arrived. She came to see Yang Haiyan. She saw that the door was closed, and Yang Haiyan was sleeping inside. She didn't expect that she had just come back from outside: "Miss Haiyan." She called her as she called her in Yang's house, which was polite. , his tone was neither humble nor silent.

The original owner was the eldest maid next to the young lady. When ordinary maids saw her, they all called her "Miss Haiyan."

Yang Haiyan: "Dahua, please don't call me girl. We are all from the Yang family. We came to this unfamiliar place and we can be considered a family. I am sixteen years old this year. Let's treat each other as sisters." ”

Yang Dahua was a little surprised. Although Yang Haiyan did not bully low-class maids like them when she was with the lady in the past, she usually seemed very arrogant, but today she was... extraordinarily kind. Yang Dahua did not refuse: "I am 17 years old and one year older than you." Although Yang Haiyan was the eldest maid and she was the rough maid, their men were both centurions and their status is the same now, so she originally planned to Anyone who calls Yang Haiyan's name cannot embarrass a man. It's just that they just met today, and she still wants to be polite to Yang Haiyan.

But he didn't expect that Yang Haiyan gave him the steps first and was even more polite.

Yang Haiyan: "Then I'll call you Sister Dahua, and you can just call me Haiyan."

Yang Dahua: "Okay. Haiyan, I was unwell a few days ago. I heard about you when I got better today, so I came over to take a look." The reason why I feel unwell is because I just had a bridal chamber. There is also such a plot in the original novel, but the original owner felt that Yang Dahua was here to show off, so he laughed at Yang Dahua because of his status difference in the Yang Mansion, and the conflict between the two was buried.

Yang Haiyan: "I'm fine. When I came out of Yang's Mansion, I brought some medicine with me to treat illnesses. On my wedding day, my head hurt and my throat hurt, so I took the medicine. Who knew that this medicine might last a long time? Not only has it lost its efficacy, but it is also harmful to the body. It’s really a shame.”

Yang Dahua had no doubts. After all, no one would have thought that the original owner would deliberately take the medicine: "Your health is the most important thing. If you need my help with anything, you have to tell me. After all, we know each other here."

Yang Haiyan: "Thank you, Sister Dahua, for caring about me. Come in and sit down?"

Yang Dahua: "No, I'm relieved to see you're fine. Keep these eggs and cakes to replenish your body."

Yang Haiyan: "No, you've worked hard all the way from the capital. It's important to keep it for yourself. I have the money from Qin Fang in my hand, and I will buy some for myself."

Seeing that she insisted on not wanting it, Yang Dahua didn't force it anymore: "Then I'll go back first, and I still have to clean up the house." Everyone was newly married, and they also had to buy things at home, so she also had something to do. After Yang Dahua left, Yang Haiyan took a nap. When she woke up in the afternoon, she went to the market again and bought a piece of tofu and two fish for fourteen cents.

the next day

Although each of these rows of family houses has a front yard and a backyard, they are independent. But because they are next to each other, whenever Yang Haiyan makes something here, the fragrance will drift to the side.

Especially the pig intestines that day, the taste is really overbearing. But everyone knew that Yang Haiyan was "recovering from a serious illness" and needed to replenish her body, so they didn't say anything. Now that she smelled the fragrance of fish head and tofu soup, she couldn't stand it anymore.

The tofu soup made by Yang Haiyan is made by frying the fish first, so it is particularly fragrant.

"Is anyone here?"

Yang Haiyan heard a noise outside, so she went out and saw a strange middle-aged woman: "Hello, aunt, who are you?"

Middle-aged woman: "I live next door to your house. What are you doing? It smells so good. Even the children at home are hungry and clamoring for food."

Yang Haiyan: "...I cooked fish head and tofu soup. I want to send it to the military camp to replenish my husband's health. If Auntie likes it, I will tell you how to make it. Can you try it yourself tomorrow?" She drank porridge and a bowl in the morning. Boiled eggs are light in the evening, and better to eat at lunch. You can cook a little more for lunch, and give the extra to Qin Fang. If you eat it yourself at night, it will be wasted, and she likes to eat fresh meals. of.

Woman: "You little girl are so ignorant. You made my child cry. Shouldn't you pay some compensation?"

Yang Haiyan felt that some people were shameless, so she didn't have to show shame to others. But before she could say anything, Sister-in-law Lu's voice came from next door: "This face is hidden in the middle of my pants. I thought it was hidden by pulling up my pants when I didn't want it."

The middle-aged woman's face darkened after hearing this.

Yang Haiyan: "What my sister-in-law said is that people are shameless and invincible. Tomorrow I will go to Qianfu's house or the general's house and ask the wife of Qianfu's family and the general's family if they have to pay compensation for this matter. "

Sister-in-law Lu: "That's really ridiculous."

Middle-aged woman: "You... Bah, prodigal women, you only know how to eat every day, and you don't know how hard it is for men to make money." After saying this, she hurried away. She thought that Yang Haiyan was a new daughter-in-law who wanted to save face, but she didn't expect that she was also not afraid of trouble.

Sister-in-law Lu came over from next door: "Don't pay attention to her. She is Zhang Baifu's wife. Zhang Baifu's wife gave birth to a baby last year. His wife came to take care of the baby. She likes to take advantage of others. I was too embarrassed to refuse the first two times, so I gave him If she eats it and wants it later, I won’t give her any face.”

Yang Haiyan never thought that there would be such a person: "Thank you, sister-in-law, for reminding me."
