Chapter 2 Illustrated Book of Mountains and Seas
Cheng Miaomiao closed her eyes for a moment and then opened them again. The illustrated book was still in front of her.
She moved her head to the left, and the illustrated book followed her. Cheng Miaomiao was curious, stretched out her hand and touched the illustrated book lightly, and it immediately turned into light and disappeared into her mind.
As soon as I thought about it, this illustrated book appeared in front of me again.
Cheng Miaomiao felt a little amused, and as she continued reading, she slowly recalled the knowledge about this type of water quality in her mind.
Since it is called "Illustrated Book of Mountains and Seas", does that mean there will be animals and plants from the Classic of Mountains and Seas here?
Cheng Miaomiao only thought about it for a while, but her head was too tired to move. She yawned a little, held the teacup in both hands and carefully placed it on the bedside, and fell asleep holding the thin quilt.
I don't know how long it took, but the sky became dark.
Cheng Erlang finally opened the door and returned to the house with a tired look. As soon as he walked in, he saw his wife making a silent gesture to him and pointing at Miaomiao who was sleeping soundly. He subconsciously relaxed his hands and feet.
Cheng Erlang clenched his fists and sat next to Ye who was weaving her ears. His eyes were full of guilt and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Mrs. Ye bit her lip and looked at him pleadingly: "Erlang, let's separate our families."
"A-Ning, but my parents are still together and we don't want to separate."
Cheng Erlang looked stunned. Looking into her tearful eyes, he shook his head with difficulty and said, "Besides, the fifth brother hasn't gotten married yet, and the family cannot be separated until all the children in the family are married."
If this gets out, people will scold you to death.
Ye Ning couldn't stop crying. She picked up the braided tassel and hit him hard.
Cheng Erlang felt very distressed and quickly took the person into his arms to comfort him.
"Normally, Miaomiao eats the least and does the same amount of work. My parents said that this is a disaster year, so I have to live in a disaster year. I have nothing to say. But Erlang, mother, she wants to sell Miaomiao to the fifth brother.
Pay off the debt! How can she be so cruel!"
Ye Ning felt like her heart was being cut by a knife, and her expression was sad.
She struggled to break free from Cheng Erlang's arms, raised her face to look at him, bit her lip and said: "I don't care, this family must be divided! If you don't mention it, then I will. If Miaomiao has a shortcoming,
I don’t live anymore!”
Because Miaomiao was born a girl, Zhao made a lot of excuses for her. She tolerated all these, but Miaomiao was still so young.
Cheng Erlang opened his mouth, his eyes full of pain and struggle.
He understood that what his mother did today was too much. He usually worked hard and without complaint just so that Ye Ning and his wife could live a better life in this home, but no matter what, she was still his mother.
…
Not long after the roosters crowed the next day, there were sounds in the yard one after another.
Cheng Miaomiao turned over, rubbed her eyes and sat up. She stared at the simple earthen house for a long time before realizing that she was alive again! Now she is the child of Cheng Erlang's family!
She put on her clothes unskillfully, climbed out of bed, and ran out of the house. She saw her current grandma, so she raised her face and smiled at her, softly shouting: "Grandma."
Ye Ning was startled, and quickly walked over with a basin in hand and asked, "Why did Miaomiao wake up so early? Does your head still hurt?"
"Well, it still hurts a little."
Cheng Miaomiao reached out and touched the wound on the back of his head. His whole face wrinkled up in pain, and he nodded aggrievedly.
It really hurts. The human body is so fragile.
That old lady Zhao actually dared to push Xiao Miaomiao so hard!
Ye Ning was amused by her childish actions.
I knelt down and washed her face with water. I looked at the red marks on her face that had not subsided with distress. I thought about everything yesterday, and said with a forced smile: "How about we dig wild vegetables with my mother later?"
"
Cheng Miaomiao nodded without thinking and said with bright eyes: "Okay!"
Wild vegetables are also plants, so you can try out the illustrated book on the Classic of Mountains and Seas!
The two were talking when they suddenly heard a loud voice interrupting.
"Hey Sanya, you can get out of bed now!"
Cheng Dalang's wife, Qian, had just chopped the pig grass and was walking to the pig pen with a basin in her arms. She passed by here and was a little surprised to see her safe and sound. Yesterday, the doctor said that she needed to prepare for the funeral, but she was fine so quickly.
"It's not healed yet. You have to stay with me if you're afraid."
The smile on Ye Ning's face faded, and she stood up to block her behind him.
Cheng Miaomiao stuck her head out curiously and whispered: "Auntie."
Qian looked at the child's pale face and believed 70% to 80% of Ye Ning's words. She snorted and said, "Brothers and sisters, don't blame my sister-in-law for not telling you in advance. Children are precious, so take care of them before they are healed."
It’s impossible to go out.”
"Tsk, Sanya's little body can go anywhere, and it's not as strong as the pillars in my house."
There was a bit of pride in his tone.
"Sister-in-law, I don't need to worry about that."
Ye Ning's face suddenly turned ugly, she took Cheng Miaomiao's hand and walked towards the kitchen.
The two elders of the Cheng family had five sons and three daughters in total. Cheng Miaomiao's father, Cheng Lin, was the second oldest. His mother-in-law, Ye Ning, was said to have been married from the town. The house was a bit sparse, and Cheng Miaomiao only had one child in total.
The eldest brother Cheng Zhuang's family has two sons and one daughter, and the third brother Cheng Wu's family also has one son and one daughter.
The fourth brother Cheng Wengang got married not long ago, the fifth brother Cheng Wei has not yet married, and the younger sister has not yet been married. The whole family lives together. Like the elders who prefer the youngest son, the two elders of the Cheng family not only favor the youngest son more, but also prefer the eldest grandson.
, and also raised him until he was fat and white even in the years of famine.
Because Mrs. Qian gave birth to her eldest grandson, she always felt that hard work paid off in this family.
So I looked down upon Ye Ning, who only gave birth to a daughter.
Seeing that she didn't take him seriously, Mr. Qian kept his face straight, pouted at the two people's backs, and muttered: "A hen that can't lay eggs, why are you pretending to be so noble?"
After saying that, he went to feed the pigs on his own.
Cheng Miaomiao followed Aniang into the kitchen and was put on a stool by her. She crossed her legs and looked at the kitchen in front of her.
Ye Ning took out sugar and eggs from the cupboard, broke the eggs into a bowl and washed them with boiling water. The beaten egg blossoms were mixed with the sugar water, and the sweet flavor spread instantly.
Cheng Miaomiao took a small sip from the bowl and immediately narrowed her eyes in comfort, her little face full of happiness.
"Mommy, didn't Grandma say that only Brother Zhuzhu can eat eggs?"
"We, Miaomiao, can do it now. You are injured and need to recuperate." Ye Ning squatted down and reached out to touch her head. "From now on, grandma will give you egg water every day."
Is this considered snatching food from the tiger's mouth?
Cheng Miaomiao was thinking aimlessly. If she eats one more egg every day, Mrs. Zhao will eat one less. She will be so angry!
Just as she was thinking about it, Leng Buding met several pairs of eyes outside the door. Da Ya, Er Ya, and the four children, Maodan Goudan, were standing at the door, staring directly at her bowl and swallowing saliva, holding on to the door frame and refusing to enter.
Cheng Miaomiao tilted her head and blinked her smart eyes.
Looking at them carefully, he opened his mouth and shouted softly: "Sister, Brother."
