Yuan's mother and Yuan Shitou have already started planting wheat.
Although Yuan's father had a limp, he still helped sow wheat seeds in the field.
Yun Xiaoxiao stayed home and cooked for Gou Dan.
She would also take Gou Dan to play in the village.
But most of the time he would take Gou Dan'er to play at the place where Yuan's mother and the others planted wheat.
That day, Yun Xiaoxiao was playing with Gou Dan on the edge of the field.
Then I heard that the peddler had arrived.
Many aunties, older women, and young wives went to pick out things.
Yun Xiaoxiao also wanted to go.
The peddler hasn't come in a long time.
They used to say they'd come every two months, but it's already March and they're only coming now.
Something must have happened.
They had no idea what was happening outside, deep in the mountains and forests.
Therefore, Yun Xiaoxiao really wanted to know what was happening outside.
These are just fragments of words that can be heard from the peddler.
The peddler was also quite tight-lipped.
He often spoke vaguely and never explained things in detail.
Because he traveled around the streets and alleys, he knew a lot of things.
They also knew the saying that trouble comes from the mouth.
So when people ask him, he just says he doesn't know.
Yun Xiaoxiao and the others had almost all left.
Then he stepped forward and picked out a mirror and a hair comb.
Then she blinked and looked at the peddler.
She wanted to learn something about the outside world from the peddler, as well as the reason for his lateness.
The peddler still had a strong impression of Yun Xiaoxiao.
He said with a smile, "The young lady is living a good life."
Not only did he gain weight, but he also grew taller.
Yun Xiaoxiao looked at her gaunt figure.
Has she really gained weight and grown taller?
Then he picked up the small mirror in his hand and looked at himself.
The person I see in the mirror is just like the person I will be in the new century.
A round face and big eyes.
And her skin is very rosy, just a bit dark.
It seems she has indeed gained a lot of weight, but she is also very healthy.
My hair is much smoother than before. It's no longer dry, yellow straw.
She asked with a smile, "Why hasn't the peddler come for so long?"
Did something happen?
The peddler sighed, "Alas, business is tough these days, so I've had to go a bit further afield."
Yun Xiaoxiao blinked her big eyes at the peddler.
"Uncle peddler, is it very chaotic outside?"
Because she remembered being trafficked by human traffickers when she first went out to work.
It's very chaotic outside.
The peddler smiled and said, "I don't know what's going on outside either."
I usually wander around in the mountains.
But I heard it's better than before.
"Is there a war going on?" Yun Xiaoxiao asked, looking into the peddler's eyes.
The peddler shook his head: "I heard they're implementing land reform."
Many villages have already completed the reforms.
"Perhaps it will be soon for you mountainous areas too."
Yun Xiaoxiao blinked her big eyes; she knew about land reform.
That means establishing production teams, working collectively, and implementing a work-point system.
Yun Xiaoxiao suspected that it might be a long time before the plan to implement it was actually implemented in this remote mountain forest.
Maybe one year, two years, three years, or even five years.
She was actually somewhat looking forward to it.
I had only heard of it on TV or in novels before.
But he had never experienced it.
People are often very curious about things they haven't experienced before.
However, none of this affects her desire to live her life well now.
The peddler has left again, and who knows when he'll return.
The wheat planting is basically complete.
In a few days, it will be the wedding day of Fan Tiesheng and Yuan Min.
It was also Yuan Min's 15th birthday.
Yun Xiaoxiao asks Yuan Shitou: What gifts should they give Yuan Min for her wedding?
Yuan Shitou scratched his head: "Aren't we supposed to give money as a gift?"
Do we need to send it separately?
Yun Xiaoxiao didn't want to talk to him, so she ran to find Yuan's mother.
After hearing her idea, Yuan's mother agreed with it.
It's perfectly normal to want to give a separate gift to your girlfriend when she gets married.
He smiled and said, "Didn't you buy a mirror and a comb a few days ago?"
Since you don't need it anyway, why don't you just give it to Yuan Min?
Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up: "That's right, how come I didn't think of that?"
After saying that, he turned around, went back into the house, found a piece of red paper, and wrapped everything up.
The comb I bought happened to be red, which perfectly complements the festive atmosphere.
On the day before Yuan Min's wedding, Yun Xiaoxiao sent her a mirror and a comb.
Yuan Min was overjoyed.
There weren't many girls in the village, and she had no friends.
How could she not be happy when Xiaoxiao brought her something?
On her wedding day, many people came to Yuan Min's family to give gifts.
Yuan Da's leg has healed, and he can walk around freely.
He also made sure he was very clean today.
Wearing clothes that were mostly new and half old, he greeted guests outside with a beaming smile.
He was no longer frowning like before; he seemed like a completely different person.
Many people in the village are asking him how he healed his leg.
When they heard that Yun Xiaoxiao had helped with the treatment.
I thought she knew medicine, so I was going to go find her.
I want to cure my chronic ailments as well.
Yun Xiaoxiao was surrounded by those sick women and men, who asked her all sorts of questions.
She found it somewhat amusing: "Aunties, uncles, I really didn't lie to you."
I only know how to treat Uncle Yuan's type of legs.
I really don't know anything else.
An older woman said unhappily, "If you know how to read it, then take a look."
We'll pay whatever the price is; we won't renege on our debt.
Yun Xiaoxiao was left speechless, both amused and exasperated by their antics.
He tried his best to explain: "Really, I really didn't lie to you."
"Look at my father's legs, I can't cure them."
Only after hearing her say that did everyone believe her.
However, the women who had gone to the beach with her to collect salt knew that Yun Xiaoxiao had some medical skills.
Otherwise, how could she have cured Yuan Shitou, who was so badly injured?
Of course, Yuan Shitou's own circumstances also play a role.
When Yuan Shitou saw his wife surrounded by people, he thought something had happened.
They rushed over to protect him.
The aunties then started teasing Yuan Shitou about going there.
"Stone, when are you and Xiaoxiao getting married?"
You absolutely must invite us to your wedding banquet!
Don't hold it secretly without informing us.
Don't worry, we won't eat much.
"Yes, things are different when Stone has a wife."
Look how handsome and strong he's become now!
“His hair used to be so long that I was always worried he would get lice.”
Now you see, your hair is shorter and your beard is shaved.
Even the two scars on her face have faded considerably.
He looks much more handsome now.
"Have you all forgotten what the stone used to look like?"
He was wearing a sweaty jacket and his trousers were tied together with a piece of tree bark.
One pant leg is higher than the other.
I was really afraid that if he sneezed, the bark would break off.
"That's right, those pants were about to fall down, if it weren't for that thing holding them up."
They've probably all fallen down to the back of their legs.
After he finished speaking, the women all burst into laughter.
His laughter was anything but subtle.
Yuan Shitou was originally afraid that his young wife would be bullied, so he came here specifically to make things difficult for her.
As a result, he was teased by this group of old women.
His old face turned red all the way to the roots of his neck.
Yun Xiaoxiao was also a little embarrassed.
These women are so talkative.
She actually said such lewd things in front of Yuan Yuanshi, wasn't she afraid of making his husband jealous?
No matter what, Yuan Shitou is a grown man.
