I was a young master in ancient times

Chapter 138 Married a monster

When the dog days were at their hottest, there was a new excitement in Yuyang Town.

Regardless of the summer heat wave, the old ladies gathered under the shade of trees and talked about the daughter-in-law brought back by Qiu Yuan, the magazine office today.

Qiu Yuan went out for more than half a year, but when he came back, he brought back a monster.She was also a banshee, with white skin like a ghost, a golden head, green eyes, and a tongue that couldn't be straightened when she spoke.After the monster appeared on the street today, most people in the county ran to watch.

When Qiu Yuanniang heard that this monster was Qiu Yuan's wife married outside, her eyes darkened and she passed out.Qiu Yuan's father hurriedly picked up his mother-in-law, walked away from the monster and entered the door.

"What's wrong with her?" Anna asked in broken Daliang language, with an uneasy expression on her face.

Qiu Yuan thought for a moment, then comforted, "It's okay, it's too hot, my mother may have suffered from heat stroke."

"Zhongshu?" Anna looked at Qiu Yuan in confusion.

"Thedayistoohot, sheissick." Qiu Yuan tried his best to translate.

"It's hot, is she sick?"

"Yes yes, she's sick." Qiu Yuan couldn't stop nodding.

Anna entered the room with a worried expression, and said as she walked, "I'll go see her."

Qiu Yuanniang had just woken up being pinched by Qiu Yuan's father, but when she saw her daughter-in-law, she closed her eyes and was about to faint again.

Qiu Yuan quickly supported Qiu Yuanniang's shoulders, and said helplessly, "Mother, why are you dizzy. Come and see your daughter-in-law."

Qiu Yuanniang thought, it was because she saw her daughter-in-law that she was about to faint.

"Mother, Anna came back with me from overseas. She has no relatives here. You have to treat this daughter-in-law well."

Qiu Yuanniang opened one eye, and saw Anna standing beside the bed with a big braid in front of her, looking young.Thinking of her son's four words of being unaccompanied, Qiu Yuanniang felt a little distressed about this monster.It's just that a monster is a monster after all, and it's scary to look at.She pulled Qiu Yuan closer by the neckline, and whispered, "No matter what, you can't marry a monster as a wife. After giving birth to a child, isn't my grandson a little monster?"

"Mother!" Qiu Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, his mother's reaction was the same as his reaction when he first saw overseas people, thinking that these blond-haired, blue-eyed, red-haired and blue-eyed people were monsters. "Anna is a person, a person who lives on the other side of the sea. They have all kinds of people, white skin, red hair, black hair, blond hair, green eyes, blue eyes, and purple. Yes. One side of water and soil supports another side of people, and they are separated from us by a sea, so they look different."

Qiu Yuanniang looked at Anna again in confusion, and muttered, "It looks like a monster at first glance."

"Father and mother, it's the first time Anna enters the door, I will lead her to kowtow to you." Qiu Yuan pulled Anna to kneel down.Anna looked blank, "Qiu, why?"

"itisourcustom."

Anna nodded and obediently kowtowed three times with Qiu Yuan.

"Qiu Yuan." Ankang consciously entered the yard, poking his head at the door of the main room.Pingan stood beside his brother carelessly, staring at the scallion pancakes that Qiu Yuanniang baked at noon with his big eyes open.

"Brother." Pingan pulled his brother's clothes, pointed to the table, "Can you eat it?" and said three words rarely.He knew it was at someone else's house, so he couldn't ask for it directly.

Qiu Yuan walked out quickly, and immediately laughed when he heard Ping An's words. He picked a smaller pancake and rolled some chili eggs fried at noon, and then handed it to Ping An, "Do you still know me, Ping An?"

Ping An nodded, and called loudly, "Brother Qiu." He took a bite of the scallion pancake.He has always been a foodie.Just as Ping An took his second bite, Anna came out.Ping'an's eyes widened in shock. He has blond hair and green eyes. Isn't he just the monster in grandma's story?Holding the scallion pancake tightly in both hands, he turned and ran to Ankang's side.Hiding behind his brother, Ping An leaned out half of his body, and then took a second bite of the cake.

"What's wrong with you, Ping An? Why did you run away after taking my cake?" Qiu Yuan smiled and said to Ankang, "Ping An is getting more and more interesting."

"It's interesting. I think about eating and playing all day long. Like a happy pig." Ankang patted Ping An's head and returned to him.

Ping An kept staring at Anna, making Anna's heart itch. Such a chubby and cute baby really wanted to hug her.When she walked over, Chen Ziche, Huzi and Zhao Qin stepped back, and Louis trotted two steps to hide with Ping An.Unexpectedly, Anna went directly to Ping An.

"Brother." Ping An didn't care about the cake in his mouth, and was about to grab Ankang's clothes with his oily little hands.Ankang hurriedly took two steps back to avoid it.Ankang dodged, and Ping An became anxious, "Brother."

As soon as Anna walked up to Ping An and squatted down, Ping An slapped Anna's face with his fleshy little palm. He stared and shouted, "Hit the monster." The other one was still holding on to the scallion pancake firmly.

Anna was stunned and froze on the spot, at a loss for what to do.

Ping An wanted to call out the second palm, but Ankang grabbed his little hand when he realized it, "Ping An! Why are you hitting my sister?"

"Monster." The elder brother came over, and Ping An consciously rubbed behind his elder brother.

"It's not a monster. It's my sister. This sister is Brother Qiu's daughter-in-law. From now on, you will call her sister-in-law Qiu." Ankang knelt down and explained peacefully, "Sister-in-law Qiu is not from Daliang, she lives on the other side of the sea. It's far away, so it looks different from us. It's wrong to hit people in Ping An, so say sorry to Sister-in-Law Qiu."

Ping An took two bites of the cake and finally understood what his brother said. He ran to Anna and apologized loudly with his fat face up, "Sister-in-law Qiu, Xiao Rui."

"It's okay." Anna looked at Ping An softly.She understood the meaning of the word monster.Since entering Daliang, people have been pointing at her, saying that she is a monster.

When Qiu Yuanniang heard it, the young master of the An family was the same as what Qiu Yuan said, he was not afraid of monsters at all.Is it true that the people on the other side of the sea look different from ours?She wanted to ask more questions, and hurriedly asked several people standing in the room to sit down, and rolled a scallion pancake for each of them.

Hearing Qiu Yuan say that the name of the monster's wife is Anna, Qiu Yuanniang glanced at Ankang, and quickly said, "Is her surname also An? It's the same surname as the young master."

"Auntie, this is their first name. Anna is their first name. Some of their surnames are very long, which are different from ours." Ankang explained to her.

"Young master, how do you know so much?" Qiu Yuanniang really thought that the young master was really powerful.

Ankang smiled awkwardly, "I read books about overseas travel before."

Ping An took a bite of pancakes and glanced at Mrs. Qiu.This sister-in-law looks much different from everyone else.

"I walked all the way, and saw that the farm has already built a row of houses, and there are still patches of woods." Qiu Yuan asked, "Has everything been arranged?"

A person who had the same question as Qiu Yuan was walking into Yuyang County with a green bag on his back.This person is Pei Yuchun, a young general under Hu Xuming, the Great General of Zhenbei.As the name suggests, Pei Yuchun is a well-known young general with jade face.

Pei Yuchun glanced roughly at the street, the street vendors were all hiding in the shade.Only a dark-skinned man wearing a straw hat sat in front of the booth.A rough white porcelain tea pot and two thin porcelain bowls were placed on the stall, with a lotus flower painted on the bottom of the bowls.Next to the kettle are several round and striped melons.A sackcloth was in a basket beside the stall.

Pei Yuchun became interested. He squatted down and touched the striped melon, and asked the vendor, "What kind of melon is this?"

The vendor raised his head, and Pei Yuchun saw that the vendor was blind in one eye.The vendor was Jin Xiaosan, and he introduced enthusiastically, "This is the watermelon from our Yuyang Farm. We planted it for the first time this year, and there are only more than 3000 melons in total. This watermelon is fresh and sweet to quench your thirst, unlike other The melons are different. You can’t buy them in other places, you can only eat them in Yuyang. This watermelon is the seed that our farm manager bought from the Western Regions for a thousand taels of silver. A watermelon is fifty cents. You How many petals do you want?"

"Fifty Wen?" Pei Yuchun frowned, "Too expensive."

"The sun is so big, you won't suffer a loss if you spend the fifty Wen."

Just now when the vendor mentioned Yuyang Farm, Pei Yuchun wanted to inquire about the vendor, so he counted fifty copper coins and bought a piece of watermelon.While receiving the watermelon, he inquired, "Why are you still setting up a stall outside in such a hot day? Why don't you hide in the shade over there?"

"My stall wasn't here, it was under that tree." Jin Xiaosan pointed to the shady place occupied by a few people who looked like peddlers. "I was about to close the stall and go back, so I moved my things here, and the brother who was driving the car was called away by someone else. The original shade has been taken by someone else, so I will leave soon, let's dry it for a while. .Our melon is precious, I have to watch it carefully.”

"You spit the seeds onto the cloth." Jin Xiaosan took out a piece of sackcloth from the basket next to the stall, "Let's recycle the watermelon seeds."

Pei Yuchun took a bite of the red-soiled melon, and it tasted sweet and watery.The vendor is right, eating this melon really quenches your thirst.He devoured a piece of melon, Jin Xiaosan thoughtfully picked up the teapot and let him flush it.Pei Yuchun shook his head, "Cut another piece for me."

"How is the Yuyang Farm here? I just entered the city and heard someone say that all the workers there are disabled." After eating a piece of watermelon, Pei Yuchun slowed down a lot when he ate the second piece of watermelon.

"Not all of them are disabled." Jin Xiaosan looked at Pei Yuchun squatting there sweating, and quickly handed him the straw hat that Song Shitou put on the stall, "The disabled are all retired from the northern Xinjiang battlefield. Look at my eyes, I was injured in the war four years ago. At that time, I was young, and I panicked when I was disabled. Many disabled people in the military camp dared not go home. I was also afraid, so I didn’t go Later, our battalion commander came to Beijiang, oh, he is now the director of our Yuyang Farm. He led us to read and write, and opened a farm in Beijiang. Later, he returned to Yuyang. Me and a few Brother stayed on the farm for a while longer, saved up some money, and then went home."

Jin Xiaosan drank his saliva and continued, "We didn't make a living after returning home. The Wei's Trading Company, the niece of Battalion Commander An, gave us a way to survive. Anyone who returned home with a disability from the battlefield went to Wei's Trading Company to buy things. [-]% off. At that time, seafood was in short supply. We bought goods from Wei’s business and sold them around the villages. You can earn a few dollars a month.”

Recalling the life back home, Jin Xiaosan sighed, "The brothers in the family got married and separated from us. We have not been at home for many years, and our parents are not as good as the original relatives. When the brothers at home feel angry, I will come to join us. The battalion commander is here. When I came, several brothers from northern Xinjiang had already come here. Our battalion commander used to manage the magazine office. You know the magazine. The only one in Daliang is run by our battalion commander. Yes." Jin Xiaosan was honored when he mentioned this.

"We guys are here, and Battalion Commander An first found us a job in the magazine office. He immediately started to make plans for our brothers. What can these brothers with no arms, legs, and one eye do? Battalion Commander An and us together , It’s better to keep working on the farm. We don’t have heavy work on the farm. When there is a lot of work, there will be short-term workers. Usually we pull weeds and water by ourselves.”

"I saved some money this year, and I'm going to ask the old lady to tell me a wife." Jin Xiaosan smiled embarrassedly, "To tell you the truth, I haven't married a wife yet. But I'm a regular worker on the farm. , that's very decent, and it's easy to find a wife. The old lady is the grandmother of our battalion commander, and now she likes to match people in our farm. When the battalion commander was in northern Xinjiang, the old lady and the old man still came Yang ran over to see him. He was still fighting Maozi at that time..."

Pei Yuchun just squatted there, listening to Jin Xiaosan talk about the Beijiang farm.Move your leg when it's numb.General Hu was worried that Yuyang Farm was just a gimmick, but he didn't expect that it was actually better than what he had heard. No wonder Xu Changming was willing to send his brothers here.When the disabled brothers come here in the future, they can't be more at ease.

When Song Shitou brought Meiniang over, he saw Jin Xiaosan talking happily.Ever since I started selling melons, my mistress talked more and more as I got older, and I could talk for a long time with just anyone.He shouted helplessly, "Xiao San'er, go back."

"Hey." Jin Xiaosan responded, and said to Pei Yuchun while packing up his things, "Our night market in Yuyang is lively, brother, you can go to see it at night. It's on this street."

"Are you going to the farm?" Pei Yuchun asked him.

Jin Xiaosan moved the watermelon to the car, "Yes. I'm going back to the farm." He turned his head and saw Song Shitou picking up the teapot, and hurriedly said, "Brother Shitou, I'll come. Later, I sold two more melons, and I have one more." Keep it for sister-in-law." He took out a piece of watermelon from the basket under the table and handed it to Meiniang, "Sister-in-law, keep the watermelon seeds."
