The is a nunnery here in Baili Village, but it takes half an hour to walk. The nunnery is a bit shabby and there is an old nun in it. If something happened in the village, everyone will go to the old nun for help. Not to mention, sometimes the old nun's calculation are quite accurate.
Yang Haiyan heard that Grandma Qin and mother Qin were going to go and have a look. But when she heard that it took half an hour way, she face up the idea. Half an hour is equal to an hour. She is tired of traveling these days, so she can't walk that much. So Yang Haiyan and Qin Siya guarded the house.
The is no difference between this Baili Village and at the border. When she was at the border, she was bored with embroidering a handkerchief to pass the time and sometimes secretly ate some fruits in the room. The servant and master are different classes and they dare not enter her room without he consent, so she is very safe. Of course, what she eat are small fruits like cherry, grapes and cherry tomatoes.
But here, the fruit can't be eaten and the handkerchief doesn't to be embroidered. In the past few days, she didn't do anything.
Yang Haiyan was a little tired, but she thought that if she was sleeping now, she couldn't be sleep at night. She looked at Qin Siya who drying her hair in the sun; "Siya, is there any interesting her?"
Qin Siya: "what's interesting thing?".
Yang Haiyan: "…". If she asked about gossip, she might take this nine years old girl out of whack. " Siya, what does sister in law mean, what do you like to do on weekdays?".
Qin Siya thought for a while: "I usually help my mother to do laundry, cut hogweed, hunt for bugs and dig wild vegetables with third brother niudan".
Yang Haiyan ".." isn't shoucheng studying? He doesn't study anymore?"
Qin Siya shook her head: " He's don't study anymore." After thinking about it, she said again, "Sister in law, I'll tell you a secret, but you can't tell others".
Yang Haiyan hurriedly said: "I won't tell others". For some reason, Yang Haiyan felt secretly excited. Since the time of crossing, she has not shared any secret with sister. You must know that in the past, sisters could secretly tell a little secret through Internet. But that kind of happiness no longer exist.
Qin Siya: " Actually, my third brother is good at studying, but it is very expensive to study. Lao Tongsheng (teacher) Alfaro secretly told the third brother to let him go to a better private school. The third brother said that they family has no money. Words are enough to learn. Later.. later this year the second brother stopped learning and the second aunt said that Niudan would also go to study. After a few grandchildren didn't know how to read. It was because of these third brother that they didn't go to school. I….I also saw that brother secretly cried".
When Yang Haiyan heard this, she felt a little sad: "Then, doesn't your grandma know?".
Qin Siya shook her head: " I don't know, i promised the third brother not to say anything. The third brother said that the family has no money and the eldest brother brought money to the family. It is not easy for the second and third brother to read and study. We can't let the eldest brother to used to money for his life to study.
The third brother also said that in the teaser when eldest brother left, my mother cried secretly, every day and her eyes almost damage. The third brother also said that if he continued to study, the eldest brother will earn more money from the army to support his study."
When Yang Haiyan heard this, she felt a little uncomfortable. She didn't expect Shoucheng, a twelve year old child, to be so sensible. She naturally believed what Siya said. Siya looked like a little girl with no scheming, very simple. Speaking of which, the Qin family'ss tutoring is actually good, Qin Fang's sense of responsibility is very strong, but he has a bottom line in doing things. Although Qin Shouye , she didn't get asking yet, so she didn't want to comment yet. But the carefree Niudan, the nature Shoucheng and the current Siya, all give her a good impression.
The rest are Daya,Erya and Sanya. She don't know how these three girls are. Thinking of this,
Yang Haiyan asked again: "Suya, last time i receive a letter from your second brother, your eldest sister is married?"
Qin Siya: "Yes, the eldest sister got married a few years ago. The second brother has gone to the eldest sister's house this morning and told the eldest and sister in law that you are back. The eldest sister said that she will bring her husband back tomorrow… My hair it's dry and I feel slippery."
This girl, only now she just remember her hair.
Yang Haiyan beckoned: "Come here, squat her, I'll brush your hair".
Qin Siya: "Hey".
Yang Haiyan picked out bangs for Qin Siya, and cut air bangs. When it Congress to air bangs, modern girls usually cut them. Then she parted her hair in the middle, braided from the left and right sides . She braids it from the top of the head to the end of the hair.
This hairstyle is very suitable for the a little girl like Qin Siya.
After coming her hair, Yang Haiyan said, "okay, go looked in the mirror and see if it looks good".
Qin Siya: " i don't have a mirror at home, so I'll take a look at it with a basin of water".
The ancient mirror was a bronze mirror, but it's not clear as a modern mirror. But even it is bronzed mirror, someone like the Qin family would not buy it. What kind of bronzed mirror does a country woman would look at herself who go on the ground everyday?
The reflection in the water can still give a general idea. Qin Siya happily touched her bangs, her braid and invisible silk flowers behind. She felt that she was also felt beautiful as her sister in law and she also felt that she's prettier than the little girl in the town.
She happily walked up to Yang Haiyan: "Sister in law, you are amazing, my hair is so beautiful.
Yang Haiyan smiled and say said; "Will you let your sister in law will comb you hair every day?"
Qin Siya'ss eyes lit up: "Ids it okay?"
Yang Haiyan: "Of course I can."
It's really impossible to comb the hair everyday. She can't only do it, if she was at the Qin family, so just a passed time. When you get to the border, she will ask nanny Lian to comb this girl's hair in the different style. She will be happy by then.
Qin Suya almost jumped up with joy: "that's great".
Seeing the little girl smiling, Yang Haiyan feel let that she would be infected: " Siya, do you like studying?".
Qin Siya; "How can a girl study? My brother should be the one to read".
Yang Haiyan; " But sister in law has studied and can read. If you want to study, sister-in-law in law can teach you".
Qin Siya thought for a while: "I don't like studying?"
Yang Haiyan thought about it carefully. When she was a child, she didn't like to study. When she went to school everyday, she had to be called by her grandmother several times. To put it bluntly, student hate going to school and people in secretly hate going to work. She still remembered during college, they was vacation internship. Because vacation internship are related to credits, they was no way to cheat. Of course, it it has something to do with it, it doesn't matter if you do one go to the internship and the unit knocks on the official seal.
However, Yang Haiyan was an orphan and when she first went to college, she naturally did not have such relationship. So during the summer vacation of the freshmen year, Yang Haiyan went to the garment factory for internship. The clothing factory has three shift in the morning, noon and evening. She doesn't want to go everyday, but she gritted her teeth everyday .
Therefore, those who have gone to school know how hard it is to go to school. Those who have to worked, know how hard it is.
Yang Haiyan asked another question: "Then if you know ten words, the sister-in-law in law will reward you with Penny and for every two words you know, the sister-in-law in law will reward you with a piece of cake. Would you like to learn?".
Isn't this nonsensical? Qin Siya's eyes were wide opened, trying to see if what her sister in law was saying a lie: "Really?"
Yang Haiyan held back her laughter: "Really ".
Sure enough, the ancient children were much easier to deceive than that modern children. For ancient children, they is no cake and copper coins that cannot be solved.
Qin Siya hurriedly asked: "then sister in law, when will we start?@
Yang Haiyan: " Don't worry, when sister in law and eldest brother returned to the border, we will take you with us. When we reach to the border, we will start".
Qin Siya was not reluctant at all to part with her hometown and was a little anxious: "Then in, can we leave earlier?". Reluctance to be part is not Qin Siya would do.
Yang Haiyan laugh so hard that her stomach start to hurt.
Qin Siya felt a little embarrassed when she heard her laughter: "Sister in law, are you lying to me? My Grandmother will definitely not let me go".
Yang Haiyan: " Yes. My sister in law will persuade mother, but you have to be obedient after you go. If you are obedient, the sister-in-law in law can reward you with a silk flowers every month."
Qin Siya: I'll be obedient. I'll do the laundry for my sister in law, cut hogweed and feed the chicken. I'll do anything ". For the sake of copper plates, cake and silk flowers, she Qin Siya will work hard.
An hour later, Qin's mother and Qin's grandma came back and both of them looked a little bad.
Seeing this, Yang Haiyan asked worriedly: "Grab mama, mother, what's the matter?"
Grandma Qin was angry that she didn't want to speak, so mother Qin said: "It's not the nun in the nunnery, It's really me pissed off. Your grandma and I are going to count for your auspicious day to give you a wedding wine. Later, your grandmother and I thought that you are in the border and Ah Fang is doing that kind of dangerous work. So , I want to ask a peace charm. This is the peace of charm , she want to see your eight born characters, but unexpectedly when she looked at your eight character she said an unlucky words that really pissed me off"..
Yang Haiyan is the successful of socialism and naturally does not believe in fortune telling. But fortunes telling us very mysterious and sometimes accurate. She was really curious about what the nun had calculated: " Mom, what did the nun say?"
