8. Chapter 8

Yang Haiyan walked into the family room carrying a heavy basket and ran into a few people. It was morning now. Some of them went to buy vegetables, and some came back from buying vegetables, but no one was as exaggerated as Yang Haiyan. Isn’t this too much?

"Haiyan." Yang Dahua also went to buy vegetables with a basket. Seeing Yang Haiyan's harvest, she was also shocked, "Why did you buy so many things?"

Yang Haiyan: "I delivered lunch to my husband at noon, so I bought more."

Yang Dahua was speechless. She knew that Haiyan used to be a maid next to the eldest lady. She was used to eating good things, so it was inevitable that she spent money lavishly, but the centurion's monthly salary was only one or two silver coins a month. How could this be enough?

Seeing others pointing and talking, Yang Haiyan immediately explained: "Don't worry, sister Dahua, I embroidered the handkerchief myself to exchange for some money, so I have something good to eat today."

Yang Dahua forgot this. In the past, the Yang Mansion invited a famous teacher to teach the eldest lady's needlework. A maid like Haiyan was also qualified to learn from her, but a rough maid like her was not qualified to learn. However, she didn't want to be a maid. Although being a maid is prestigious, it is also dangerous. If the young lady has a chance... or even follows the young lady to the son-in-law's house, she may be regarded as the son-in-law's maid, and she just wants to save money for herself and redeem herself, not to be a concubine. Unexpectedly, the Yang Mansion is gone. "I forgot that your needlework is excellent."

After hearing Yang Dahua say this, everyone gave less advice to Yang Haiyan. These days, being good at needlework is a very face-saving thing. And if a woman embroiders a handkerchief herself to exchange for money to buy something good, not to mention delivering food to her husband, it is even more difficult for everyone to say anything.

Yang Haiyan: "Sister Dahua, if you want to learn, you can come to me and I will teach you."

Yang Dahua: "Really?"

Yang Haiyan: "Of course."

Yang Dahua thought: "I will also make something good for my husband at noon. Let's go and deliver it together. I will come back to ask you about women's needlework."

Yang Haiyan: "Okay."

Yang Haiyan asked the butcher to cut the pig's trotters she bought. There were six pounds in total. Three pounds of them were put on the trading platform, and the other three pounds were used to stew soybean pig's trotters.

Then she made a cold eggplant.

When she finished lunch, Yang Dahua called outside: "Haiyan, I'm here. Are you ready?"

Yang Haiyan: "Yes."

Yang Dahua felt very strange. She never thought that she and Haiyan could get along like this. "Haiyan, I like my life now. I'm a good citizen, I don't have to look at other people's eyes, I'm married and have a family, and my husband is a brave soldier. It would be great if it could always be like this."

Yang Haiyan: "Sister Dahua, you will be happy." But before happiness comes, there must be some hardships. Although it is a farming story, it is warm, but the heroine... there will always be troubles, such as the heroine's extreme parents.

Yang Dahua: "Thank you, Haiyan. Haiyan, I think you have changed a lot, but better than before."

Yang Haiyan: "People have to learn to grow up after experiencing hardships. When I was with the lady before, I felt that I was a big maid and was very powerful and had a lot of face, but after I got married and became the head of the family, I realized that this kind of life is better."

Yang Dahua: "That's right."

The two talked and laughed and arrived at the military camp. From a distance, Qin Fang ran to pick someone up as usual. He took the basket from her hand consciously, still with a cold face, but the voice he spoke was full of tenderness that he himself did not realize: "Don't come next time. You walk so much every day, your feet must hurt, right?" This woman is so thin, how much can she walk? If she gets sick, she will have to spend his money to see a doctor. It's annoying.

Yang Haiyan smiled: "I'm not tired, I just treat it as exercise, walk more, and my body will be better."

Yang Dahua walked beside them, listening to them talking, watching their intimacy, with envy in her eyes, Haiyan is beautiful, men like her, right?

Yang Haiyan naturally didn't know what Yang Dahua was thinking, they went to the old place to sit down, Qin Fang opened the basket: "Buying pig's trotters again? You don't have any money on you again?" It was either fish or pig's trotters, the three hundred coins he gave must be gone, give more later. It's a pity that he can't save money this year, but he can't eat all the 30 kilograms of food every month, after all, he eats the food brought by women every noon.

Yang Haiyan: "Yes, I made some things when I was free these few days, and exchanged them for some money in the shop in the town, enough to support myself."

Qin Fang knew her identity. She came from a wealthy family, so it was not surprising that she could make things. He thought that she could make things like embroidery.

Today's soybean pig's trotters and eggplants are still a day of happiness.

Qin Fang ate a few bites and saw Han Zhen and Yang Dahua coming over. Han Zhen and Qin Fang have a good relationship. They are all under the same captain, and everyone knows each other very well.

Han Zhen: "Every day I hear people say that your wife brings you food, and I feel itchy. Today my wife also brought me food." As he said, he took a look at the dishes on Qin Fang's side. Damn, this dish is really good, soybean pork trotters, look at Qin Fang chewing... and the eggplant sprinkled with chopped green onions, it makes people want to drool.

Qin Fang saw his behavior and turned around to block his sight. His woman gave it to him, so he couldn't let others get away with it.

Yang Haiyan saw it and smiled silently. This man is really a little cute.

Feeling her smile, Qin Fang raised his head and blocked her eyes, then lowered his head to continue eating, but his ears were slightly red. She looks so beautiful when she smiles.

The dishes Yang Dahua sent today were not bad. She was a smart woman who would not send bad food to a man, and she was with Yang Haiyan. Otherwise, she would embarrass the man. Yang Dahua sent braised pork ribs and stir-fried vegetables. One meat and one vegetable. In addition to white rice, there were two sweet potatoes in the lunch box, fearing that the man would not have enough to eat. Although it was not as good as the bowl of white rice Qin Fang gave her, it was indeed a good meal.

Han Zhen stretched out his long legs and kicked Qin Fang's butt: "Give me some soup."

Qin Fang turned around and glared at him, picked up the clay pot, and poured the pig's trotter soup directly into his lunch box.

Yang Dahua looked at him and thought that their relationship should be very good. "Husband, you have a really good relationship."

Their relationship was indeed good, and it was also written in the original novel that they were from the same place.

Han Zhen: "We are from the same place and have known each other since childhood."

Yang Dahua: "I see."

Qin Fang: "Come to my house for dinner on the 20th of this month."

Han Zhen: "Okay, what's the wedding?"

Qin Fang: "Wedding wine."

Han Zhen: "Then come to my house on the 21st." Then he said to Yang Dahua, "Wife, I'll trouble you when the time comes."

Yang Dahua: "No trouble."

Qin Fang listened to their conversation, looked at Yang Haiyan, and lowered his head to eat silently. He couldn't say the word "wife".

After finishing the meal, Yang Haiyan was not in a hurry to leave. She took out a pen and a rope from the bag she carried with her: "Husband, stand still, I will measure your size."

Qin Fang: "What...what?"

Yang Haiyan: "Didn't I make some things today to exchange for some silver? I bought you some cloth to make two sets of clothes."

Qin Fang: "No, you buy yourself some new clothes."

Yang Haiyan: "I bought the cloth for men, which is not suitable for me." As she spoke, she measured Qin Fang's size.

Qin Fang stood straight and didn't dare to move. He only felt those hands wandering on his body, causing ripples. Therefore, his whole body was tense.

When Yang Haiyan was measured and ready to leave, Qin Fang pulled her aside and put a purse in her arms: "Buy whatever you want to eat, our family...our family's belongings are all here." Then he ran away with a red face.

When he ran away, he was still thinking, did he give too much? He should give one or two silver coins.

However, she brought lunch to her every day and made clothes for her. In their family, their mother was the head of the family and managed the money, while their father worked. So... it was not wrong for him to give her his belongings.

Yang Haiyan naturally did not know what he was thinking. She put the money bag Qin Fang gave her into her shoulder bag.

Back in town, Yang Dahua went home to get the cloth and needle and thread, and would go to Yang Haiyan later. Yang Haiyan went to the woodworking room and ordered a template model. Unlike the previous ones, this time there were fifty models on one template, each with a capacity of 20 grams, and more importantly, there were engravings. Yang Haiyan ordered two such wooden boards, and another one was engraved with flowers. The two pieces cost a total of 150 coins, because engraving and engraving are not ordinary crafts.

Then, she ordered wardrobes, bed cabinets, wall cabinets, tables and chairs, shoe racks, washbasin racks, bathtubs, etc.

The money bag Qin Fang gave had four taels and one hundred coins, and with the rest of her, their total belongings were almost five taels. Thinking of the man's reluctance to spend money, Yang Haiyan smiled silently. She didn't think he was stingy, that was how to live. Moreover, he was willing to let her buy food and new clothes.

Then, she bought a bed of light blue cotton cloth to make bedding, because the sheets and quilts at home were not enough. That bed was still red, bought by Qin Fang, and used when they got married.

When she got home, she planned to make bedding first, make it today, and let Tang wash the new ones when she came to deliver water tomorrow.

"Haiyan, I'm here, are you there?" Yang Dahua came.

Yang Haiyan: "Yes."

Yang Dahua brought some cloth and needles and threads to ask Yang Haiyan for embroidery. She knew how to sew and mend in general. When she was in Yang's house, she sewed by herself. At first, it didn't look good. Later, she asked the old nanny for advice, so the mending was not bad. But embroidery and the like were not good.

Yang Haiyan was kind to others, and Yang Dahua had a good nature in the novel, so she was willing to teach carefully. One is willing to teach carefully, the other is willing to learn seriously. For Yang Dahua, the harvest of the afternoon is not bad. For Yang Haiyan, a bed sheet, quilt cover and pillowcase are ready.
