Chapter 3
Yu Yao never expected her mother to think that way, but when she thought about it carefully, it did make sense.
After all, she works in the commune, so she must be a junior high school student at least. Junior high school students in the past few years still know a lot of things, which is completely different from the chaotic years when I was studying. Also, because of her work and family, it is really impossible to find an uneducated country girl.
Yu Yao's appearance of trying to make up for the loss does indicate that she does have the inclination to work hard in that direction.
Even if she doesn't like studying, she is still a high school student.
Does her mother look down on her daughter too much?
"What commune?" Yu Sheng looked at his angry mother with a confused look on his face, then looked at his innocent-looking third sister and asked carefully, "Which commune?"
Yu Yao continued to act innocent, opened the lid of the pot and found that the soup was almost ready, and quickly put the lid aside, as if trying to hide her shyness, she said, "No, it's nothing, Mom is overthinking it."
Seeing her like this, Jiang Limei felt very disappointed. If she married into the family like this, she would be controlled by her husband's family. She even began to observe the Liu family.
If the other person is a serious and easy-going person, then it's fine, but if there is anything wrong with it, she will definitely not agree.
Yu Yao was deliberately trying to put on a show for the two of them, so Yu Sheng was naturally intimidated. He looked at his third sister thoughtfully and asked, "Whose family is she from? I knew a lot of people when I was in school, so maybe I've heard of her."
Jiang Limei's eyes lit up when she heard this. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by her daughter, "No, it's almost time to eat. I'm so hungry after running all day."
She had finally managed to make Jiang Limei suspicious, but she couldn't be easily swayed. The main reason was that Liu Yang was too good at disguising himself. After all, he was the male lead, so his minor flaws would seem harmless, and most of the time he would appear to be not too bad.
Yu Yao urged her second brother to bring the soup to the main room, while she scooped water to wash the pot, and then filled another large pot with water. After a while, the water would be hot, just right for a bath.
The weather has been hot recently, and many people like to go directly to the river to wash, or just use a bucket of cool water to solve the problem.
But Yu Sheng definitely couldn't take a cool shower. If he did, he would definitely lose half his life, and she herself didn't like taking a cool shower.
The body is the capital of revolution, she cannot be vague about it.
Fortunately, although the Yu family is poor, Jiang Limei is not fussy about details. Many times her ideas are somewhat incompatible with the ideas of people of this era. In an era when everyone is focusing on saving, she thinks that saving a little bit is useless and it is better to let everyone live a more comfortable life.
Thinking of this, Yu Yao couldn't help but feel fortunate to have traveled to such an era and met such a family.
Not to mention that she had taken over someone else's body, she should have helped treat the original body's family well. Just for their pure love, Yu Yao was reluctant to abandon them.
But Yu Yao is not her real original self after all, so she is restricted in many things, especially the sudden changes in her. If her family knew about it, they would probably be suspicious.
Otherwise, she should find a way to get married. She doesn't really believe in true love, but with her conditions, it shouldn't be difficult for her to find a partner with ambition and good character to live with.
But this person absolutely cannot be from their village, otherwise the problem will not be solved, not to mention that there are no young men of appropriate age in the village.
Seeing that she was so eager just now, but now she was dilly-dallying again, Jiang Limei said angrily, "What are you thinking about? You're dilly-dallying."
“I am here.”
By the time the family had finished their meal, it was already dark outside.
When Xiao Yuan saw the plate full of food, his eyes were shining in the flickering kerosene lamp. "The food that Third Sister made is so delicious. I want to eat five bowls!"
Jiang Limei couldn't bear to see his useless look, so she shouted, "If you make more noise, everyone in the village will come and grab your food."
"They wouldn't dare." The child grumbled, obviously unconvinced, but in the end he lowered his voice and didn't dare to disobey Jiang Limei.
Upon hearing this, Yu Yao picked up a piece of oily wild mushroom with chopsticks and put it in Yu An's bowl, saying, "It's a blessing to be able to eat it, just don't eat it too dry. I've been drying a lot of mushrooms recently. When we finish picking mushrooms in the mountains, we can eat the dried ones. Yours will be indispensable."
Hearing her say this, the whole family was delighted, except Jiang Limei, who felt a little regretful. It was a pity that she didn't have good luck. With her young lady's luck, if she had had good luck, she would have made a lot of money.
But she would never dare to say such words.
"Oh, Mom." Yu Yao's voice brought Jiang Limei back to her senses, and she said, "I have dried so many mushrooms here, why don't I send some to my brother?"
In an instant, the warm atmosphere at the dinner table cooled down.
Jiang Limei obviously hadn't remembered what Yu Yao said about going to find out about Liu Yang. Her heart started to get confused when she heard about her eldest son.
Jiang Limei gave birth to three sons and one daughter. In the countryside, she would be the envy of everyone. But her second son became ill due to neglect at home, and her eldest son went to the city to become someone else's son-in-law in order to supplement the family income and could not come back once a year.
This matter was painful for Jiang Limei, but she had no way of objecting to her third daughter's suggestion. She just nodded and said, "Okay, we still have some eggs at home, let's send some to your eldest brother."
She didn't dare to give it all away, because if she did, her second son would have no way to replenish his body. Nothing is more important than human life.
The children were already drooling at the mention of eggs, but Yu An dared not say anything. Although he was the youngest boy in the family, he knew from childhood that he should not snatch things from his brothers and sisters. He could only eat more mushrooms while everyone was talking.
The mushrooms fried by his third sister are so delicious. In the future, he wants to be a very powerful man so that he can pick lots of mushrooms for his third sister to fry!
The adults had no idea what the children were thinking and each had their own thoughts while eating the meal.
In fact, Yu Yao feels that there is no need for everyone to be like this. Although being a son-in-law is a very shameful thing in this era, since the eldest brother has made such a choice, he must have considered it beforehand. As the bride's family, they often visit each other and it will not disappoint the eldest brother.
But the rest of the family was afraid of upsetting the eldest sister-in-law's family by going there, so they seldom visited him. If they did, they would prepare generous gifts. This way they could save face, but one could easily imagine how much psychological pressure the eldest brother would be under. This is how their relationship gradually faded.
Of course, Yu Yao couldn't say so much at this time. She still needed to use her eldest brother as a cover, but maybe her eldest brother could introduce her to someone?
Soon, Yu Yao denied her own thoughts. Although they hadn't seen each other for a few years, what if her brother still noticed the difference in her?
You have to marry far away.
Just as she thought, Jiang Limei never let go of her eldest son's matter, so she not only prepared eggs and peanuts, but also gave Yu Yao a big reunion ticket and two cloth coupons and two meat coupons, so that she could go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things to give to her eldest sister-in-law.
Parents always consider their children in the most meticulous way. Yu Yao was moved. Although she still disagreed with her approach, she still agreed obediently. Jiang Limei then went to bed, but she probably couldn't fall asleep.
Yu Yao looked at the eggs and peanuts and suddenly felt overwhelmed. She had no way of delivering these things to the city if she had to do her own thing.
Fortunately, she is the only girl in the family. Now she is old enough to get married and can have a room of her own. Yu Yao plans to hide the things in the hole she dug and then take them out while cooking.
However, when Yu Yao removed the footstool and prepared to crawl under the bed, his hand suddenly scratched the nails at the bottom of the old bed board, and he hissed in pain.
She quickly stopped what she was doing, stepped back and looked at her wound, but suddenly found that the red rope on her wrist was stained with blood and was emitting a somewhat penetrating light.
This red rope was bought secretly from someone by the original body when she went to the town. The little girl loved to be beautiful, but she didn't dare to wear it normally, for fear that others would say she made a mistake. Yu Yao wore it just to hang the key, as there was a locked box in her tunnel.
However, before she knew it, the red light had disappeared. Yu Yao thought she had become confused in the middle of the night. She reached out and touched the red rope, but suddenly she felt a space appear beside her.
Could this be the heroine's golden finger portable space often mentioned in novels?
Yu Yao has always thought that his golden finger is his great strength.
Yes, she is very strong, not because of her original body, but because she traveled through time and space.
At first, she accidentally broke an egg, and then she directly broke a bowl. Yu Yao realized that this was not a good idea, so she practiced controlling her strength while picking mushrooms. It took several months before she began to see results.
But she was actually still afraid that her family would discover her secret, so she wanted to get married.
But now she has unexpectedly obtained a golden finger?
However, this portable space should have belonged to the original owner. Not only did he occupy her body, he also got many of her things.
Thinking of this, Yu Yao's joy was somewhat dampened.
She cheered herself up and tried to put the eggs and peanuts into the space. It was done easily with just a thought.
Now her tunnel is of little use.
The tunnel was not deep. It was dug by Yu Yao when she first came to this world and was a little paranoid. As a result, the family rarely entered her room, let alone looked through her things.
So the only money here was the money that Yu Yao had saved with great effort, most of which was the mountain products she picked in exchange with Xu Ying's brother, estimated to be around eighty yuan.
There is nothing here, but Yu Yao has hidden a lot somewhere else.
Yu Yao first put the money into the space, then put a set of clothes in for use, and then lay on the bed to explore her own space.
However, this portable space is not as amazing as those she has seen before. There is no farm spring or villa supermarket. It is just a very empty place to store things. But Yu Yao is already very satisfied. This thing is like timely rain to her now.
Without a clock, Yu Yao watched the sand in his homemade hourglass slowly leaving behind fine particles. After changing direction for the tenth time, Yu Yao turned over, made the bed, then tiptoed out of the house and headed straight for the back mountain in the dark.
