Rural woman's true colors 007. Daughter should be self-reliant
After supervising Pei Yifan washing the dishes, Yang Tao indeed felt tired. Just now in the carriage, or on horseback, or on the way back home with Pei Yifan, she had too many big things to think about, thinking about how to escape, how to act cute, and how not to be thrown away again. Now that she was full and her heart was at peace, drowsiness naturally found its way to her.
She simply washed her face and feet, and chewed on some willow branches that had been soaked in water. She didn't have time to think about what era she was in now or whether there were more advanced washing products. She fell fast asleep in the clean quilt that her grandmother took out of a large wooden chest. Although the quilt had been stored in the chest, it didn't smell musty, apparently because it was often taken out to be sunned.
Yang Tao, who had a dreamless night, opened her eyes to find herself in a strange space, and it took her a while to realize that she was no longer in her own romantic pink bedroom.
There were no dolls on her bed, no teddy bears, no raccoons and no sloths. There were no paintings of hers on the wall, nor an alarm clock that would ring N times to wake her up. Nor would there be a mother who had prepared hot milk and breakfast for her, shouting in an exaggerated tone: "Yangzi, get up! You'll be late for work if you don't hurry!"
She is no longer Yang Zi, but a little girl who doesn't know who she is, and even her name is something she made up herself.
She is still Yang Zi, still her mind and soul, the name is just a code.
After the debate, Yang Tao looked around and saw that her grandmother was already up. Next to her were two neatly folded clothes, although they had been washed so many times that their original color could no longer be seen, but they were very clean. Yang Tao instinctively felt that these were prepared by her grandmother for herself, and she didn't know where her grandmother got the girl's clothes from, it was really thoughtful of her.
She sat up and found that she hadn't noticed her dirty clothes. Yang Tao's heart was warmed again, and finally felt that her transmigration wasn't so miserable after all.
Yang Tao, who had just started getting dressed, only then felt that her whole body was sore and aching. Yang Tao didn't mind it though, thinking to herself that she had been kidnapped and placed in a carriage for a bumpy ride, if her whole body wasn't sore that would be abnormal, not having slept continuously for several days was already a miracle.
Pei Yifan, lying in bed, saw Yang Tao come out of the inner room and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He knew Grandma got up, but he had been reluctant to get up, now that even Yang Tao was up, his face couldn't hold on.
Yang Tao glared at Pei Yifan with a bad temper, although he was the one who brought her back from the small stream, she was grateful to him but not particularly impressed. Yesterday, she had already seen that this timid boy was really lazy and could rival another version of herself!
However, in that time and space, she lived in a carefree environment, while Pei Yifan didn't have any sense of worry or concern at all. Who knows, maybe yesterday's idea to find the lost hen was just a momentary pang of conscience after seeing her sick grandmother.
Thinking so, Yang Tao had already walked step by step to the bedside of Pei Yifan, seeing that Pei Yifan's arm was outside the quilt, she rudely pinched it.
"Ah yo!" Pei Yifan shouted loudly, almost jumping up. En en, this was the loudest voice Yang Tao had ever heard from him since she knew him. Yang Tao thought he would continue to question her loudly, but unexpectedly, after Pei Yifan's shout, he only looked at her with a wronged expression and didn't speak for a long time before opening his mouth softly. "It hurts."
Yang Tao felt dizzy, couldn't he really speak loudly? At the same time, Yang Tao also had some secret doubts. Looking at Grandma's appearance, she was very fond of Pei Yifan. How could she not spoil Pei Yifan to be unruly and instead be timid and afraid of things?
Yang Tao turned around and decided not to care about Pei Yifan anymore. She pinched him, he let out a cry of pain, which meant that her experience yesterday and the current situation were not just a dream, but rather that her hope of returning had become slim, and she really would have to live in this place from now on. Yang Tao certainly wouldn't pinch herself again to re-verify this question, anyway no matter who was in pain, it was enough to prove that this wasn't a dream.
Let him sleep if he doesn't want to get up! She still has things to do today and no time to compete with him on who can sleep till the sun is high. She's not as carefree as him, able to live a life of uncertainty without worrying about her next meal, nor does she want to quietly become a small parasite.
It's worth noting that with her arrival, Grandma still owes the enthusiastic Liu Aunt's family about a dozen eggs. Although it's not something very valuable, but who knows, this might just turn Grandma from a moonlight clan to a debt-ridden clan, and psychologically, that would be a huge drop.
Her daughter should be strong, she must think of a way to change the current situation. Yang Tao encouraged herself in her heart. Her requirements are not high, as long as she can live a life similar to her original one, it's okay, and she can also tolerate no TV, no computer, and no mobile phone.
"Taohua, why don't you sleep a bit more?" Grandma was sweeping the yard and asked as soon as she saw Yangtao come out.
Last night when I was sleeping, my grandmother coughed several times, but it didn't affect this girl's sleep at all. She even hummed and murmured from time to time, knowing that she must be exhausted. I wanted her to sleep a little longer, but unexpectedly she got up so early.
"Grandma, I've slept well." Yang Tao saw her grandma sweeping the yard while coughing and walked up to her. "Let me do it!"
"No need, cough... you're still young, wait till you grow up." Grandma said.
Yang Tao figured it out, Grandma is a super doting old lady who loves to spoil kids. Yesterday, she said that not many girls in the village can't cook, but she never lets the kids do anything, and this little girl who only came for one night is no exception.
"I'll sweep the floor!" said Yang Tao, taking advantage of Grandma's coughing fit to snatch the broom from her hand.
"Grandma, when did you start coughing?" Yang Tao said while keeping the broom head low to avoid stirring up too much dust, chatting with her grandma at the same time.
She didn't deliberately ask her grandmother why she wouldn't go see a doctor, if the family's condition allowed it, who would drag their illness and not seek medical treatment.
"This spring, I suddenly got this illness. Cough... " Grandma said, and has already started to cook.
Pei Yifan also walked out of the house with a drowsy look, saw Yang Tao sweeping the yard, his face slightly red, and then he quickly lowered his head and walked into the small shed to help his grandmother cook.
Yang Tao pretended not to see Pei Yifan's red face, secretly delighted in her heart. It seems that the power of a role model is enormous, and from now on, there will be another diligent good kid in this world.
After sweeping the floor, Yang Tao felt a bit tired and had broken out in a cold sweat. It seemed that this little body was indeed lacking in exercise! She then understood a truth, that diligence alone was not enough, she also needed to find ways to strengthen her physical constitution, of course, simply strengthening physical exercise was also unacceptable, the premise was that nutrition must keep up.
Breakfast was a pot of millet porridge, accompanied by several steamed buns, two dishes of pickled vegetables, and three boiled eggs. Yang Tao knew that if she wasn't afraid of being asked to go back and forth, her grandmother would have only cooked two eggs. This made her even more determined to change her current situation.
Yang Tao took a bite of the bun and tasted it carefully, confirming that it was made from corn flour rather than millet flour.
According to Yang Tao's knowledge, corn was introduced to various countries only after Columbus discovered the Americas. China having corn should be a Ming dynasty thing. In the past two days, Yang Tao observed the clothing of people she had seen and confirmed that it is not the Qing dynasty now. Could it be that she has arrived in the Ming dynasty?
