Qin Hanzhen wrapped her clothes tightly, put her hands on the windowsill, stretched out a finger, and poked hard under the window, the window opened, and a cold wind swept into the room, making her shiver with cold. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But at the same time, she also saw what was going on in the yard. Sister-in-law Hu in the kitchen, Sister-in-law Hu's father, Liu Shufang, and her nurse Zhang's mother, were all standing outside. Mama Tiger took turns calling their names, and whoever was called, they went into the house one by one to reply.

Zhang's mother went in quickly and came out early, and at a glance, she saw Qin Hanzhen open the window to peek, and hurriedly ran into the east wing: "Sister, you're naughty again! It's so cold outside, and you're not afraid of the wind." It's not easy to get better, if you get sick again, you can't let the old lady worry about death?!"

Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "I've gotten much better, I've been out of the yard by myself in the past few days, can I walk a full two laps without being helped! What are you afraid of when the cold wind blows? I've already got dressed." Mom, look at it, it's your newly made padded jacket. She stretched out her arms and spun around in front of Zhang's mother.

Zhang's mother looked at the newly made plain white thick cotton jacket on her body, touched her hand again, and saw that she was indeed very warm, so she relieved her heart, but she still couldn't help but say: "Sister always says that she is more sensible now than before, so don't do anything worrying about her." ”

Qin Hanzhen was a little dumbfounded, obediently turned around and climbed back to the kang: "Aren't I bored? I either eat or sleep all day long, and I used to be able to go to my grandmother's place, but today my grandmother has something to do, and my mother is not here, I don't even have anyone to talk to, so I'm so idle." When I heard you talking outside, I wondered what you were doing. ”

Zhang's mother smiled: "What can you do? It's not that my wife is much better and has the energy to take care of the housework, so she asked us to ask about tomorrow's ceremony." ”

Tomorrow is the Guan's "Three Sevens" ceremony. Mr. Qin and the Niu family probably felt that the Guan family died unjustly, and because they lightly dropped the culprit of the He family, she had a chance to escape, and the second old man was not happy, so he planned to hold a "three-seven" sacrifice for the Guan family. Originally, Niu's health was not good, and everything was represented by Mama Hu. Now that her condition has improved, she will take over personally.

Qin Hanzhen figured out what was going on, so he didn't ask, lowered his head and grabbed the pillow on the kang without speaking.

Guan is the biological mother of her body, and she died vigorously, which left a very deep impression on Qin Hanzhen. But she is not a real Sister Sang after all, she is emotionally separated from this mother, and it is normal to be sad for a while, but she can't always maintain a sad mood after that. In order to avoid revealing the stuffing and making people see what is wrong, Qin Hanzhen always subconsciously avoids topics related to the Guan family. Mr. Qin and the Niu family were actually aware of it, but they did not suspect it, but thought that this was their granddaughter's refusal to face the reality of losing her mother, and they felt even more pity for her.

Qin Hanzhen wanted to change the topic at this time: "What did Grandmother send you to do, will you be very busy tomorrow?"

Zhang's mother smiled: "Sister, don't worry, there are not many things to do tomorrow." During the day, my sister accompanies my wife, and if I want to do something, my wife will tell me, and my sister will listen. I'm going to help with the kitchen, and I'm going to work with the others to deliver the offerings to the grandmother's spirit in the temple and burn them. When I was done, I came back. ”

Qin Hanzhen sighed: "Oh." During the "Sanqi" ceremony, the family was supposed to go to the grave of the deceased or the spirit to burn the sacrifice and mourn, but she and her grandmother Niu were both sick people, and although their health had improved a lot, they were still not suitable to go out, so Mr. Qin asked them to stay at home and have someone else perform the sacrifice on their behalf. This is what I did the last time I was "Erqi". "Sanqi" must be the same.

She was used to going to her grandmother's house and didn't feel anything. It's just that judging from the experience of the last "Erqi", when encountering this kind of day, Niu's mood will always be worse, and he likes to recall the old things when his son and daughter-in-law were alive, and he will cry when he talks about it. Qin Hanzhen could only cry with him. In order to make herself cry, she pinched a few bruises on her thighs, and forced herself to recall the situation with her family before the crossing, and she felt empathetic and sad. This kind of taste is really uncomfortable, Qin Han really feels that he can't keep his spirits up when he thinks about it.

Zhang's mother didn't know why Qin Han was really listless, and thought she was really too idle and bored, so she suggested to her: "If my sister is really idle, why don't you pick up the needlework you learned before?" In the past, my sister was always impatient, and my grandmother taught you needlework, but you refused to do it well every time. Now you are more sensible than before, and your wife praised you for your steadiness before, why don't you try to do needlework again? ”

Qin Hanzhen blinked, and wanted to say that she was not interested in needlework, but after thinking about it, how could there be a girl in ancient times who did not learn needlework? Regardless of whether she had the talent in this area or not, she always had to make an appearance, and it was right not to ask her grandparents to be picky, so she agreed.

Zhang's mother immediately moved out of the needlework basket, and there was a lot of needles and threads in it, which was a mess. Qin Hanzhen was dazzled, only to see that Zhang's mother took out a piece of cloth, picked a thick and extra-large needle, threaded a coarse cotton thread, and handed it to her along with the cloth head: "Sister, try it?"

Qin Han was really in a daze: "What to try? I don't remember what I learned." ”

Zhang's mother said angrily: "It's just a thread, and I don't remember?"

This one will still be. Qin Hanzhen thought about it, so he took the needle and thread and sewed a thread on the cloth. She is the soul of an adult, not a real child, of course she can do such a simple needlework, and she sews it very straight, and the needlework is also dense.

Zhang's mother looked at it and was happy: "I said a long time ago that my sister is the smartest, and she just didn't want to study hard in the past." Look how well this line of thread is! Show it to your wife, and she will be pleased. So saying, he got up and took the strip of cloth to the main house.

Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but be stunned again. What is the difficulty of a seven-year-old child to do this level of needlework? Sister Sang couldn't do it before? She also did a better job, for fear that the female red of the ancient little girl was stronger than her deity, and if she didn't do it well, she would reveal the filling, and the result would be ......

Shouldn't Niu be suspicious of his granddaughter's needlework beyond the normal level before?

Qin Hanzhen couldn't sit still, so he immediately turned over and got off the kang, lifted the curtain and ran to the main house.

Thankfully, what she feared didn't happen. Zhang's mother happily took the cloth head into the house to report the good news, and Niu's saw the cloth head, and was also very happy, and rewarded Zhang's mother with 100 yuan. Zhang's mother happily thanked the reward, and the matter was over. Qin Hanzhen looked at it, but she somewhat understood Zhang's mother's actions - probably for the reward, right? It's winter, and she heard Zhang's mother mention it a while ago, saying that Brother Zhang's old padded jacket is too small to wear, and he needs to make a new ......

When Niu saw his granddaughter coming, he called her to go to the kang, hugged her with one hand, and looked at the piece of cloth with the other hand, and said with a smile: "This time it is better than the last time, so it should be like this." It can be seen that you don't know how to sew, but you are impatient to listen to your mother's words, and now you are willing to do it, and it is as good as your mother's sewing. Catch Ming'er and come to your grandmother, and your grandmother will teach you to embroider and pinch flowers. ”

Qin Hanzhen responded with a dry smile, and saw Mama Hu sitting at the end of the kang, holding a small abacus in her hand, and everyone else had already left, so she asked, "Grandmother, what is this doing?"

Niu smiled: "It's in the housekeeper." Your tiger mama helps your grandmother settle the accounts. ”

Accounting is a delicate job. Niu's housework today is not only to prepare for tomorrow's "37", but also to take into account the daily expenses of the whole family. The money spent on daily purchases, a few taels and a few cents, is very fragmentary. Mama Tiger doesn't seem to be very proficient in settling accounts, and she has to take notes on paper, and it took several times to calculate the accounts clearly, and even made a small mistake.

Qin Han's real calculation speed was much faster than her, and he immediately pointed out the mistake. Mama Tiger smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm dizzy, I haven't even settled such a simple account." ”

Niu said: "This is just a small account, a few pennies are missing, what is it? She touched her granddaughter's little head, "You girl is so clever, why didn't you know you were so good at calculating before? Your mother taught you to count, and you were wrong several times." It can be seen that in the past, I just couldn't calm down, and I just wanted to go out and play all day long. Now that Ken'an has settled down to do the math, he won't go wrong. The same goes for needlework. ”

Qin Han really smiled dryly and acquiesced to his grandmother's statement. Although she has a lot of similarities with the character of the original Sister Sang, there are still many differences in details. In the future, she should be careful and not make mistakes like today.

With Qin Hanzhen's little helper here, Mama Hu's account calculation today is much easier than usual, and she will finish her work soon. She pointed out to Zhang's mother to go to the kitchen to spread the word, and asked her to put lunch in the main room, along with Qin Hanzhen's share.

At this time, Mr. Qin came back, and Mama Tiger hurriedly greeted him and took his cloak.

Old Mr. Qin entered the warm pavilion with a smile and sat down by the kang: "Are your ancestors and grandchildren better today? Have you taken the medicine?

Qin Hanzhen said obediently: "I have eaten it all, I am very good today, and my grandmother's spirit is also very good, and I asked about housework just now." ”

Old Mr. Qin frowned, and said to Niu Shi disapprovingly: "You are busy with these things again, let's talk about it after you take care of your body seriously, what kind of god does the patient spend?"

Niu said: "Where did I get sick to this point? I can get up now, and I can walk a few steps in the house, which is much stronger than before." What's so difficult about listening to the people below report an account? You don't have to worry about it. Have you visited them all today? Did they say anything?"

Mr. Qin went to several families who had heard from the flower seller who had been bribed by the He family to spread bad words about Guan and Wu Shaoying, and explained the truth. Those families are also well-known people, seeing that Mr. Qin personally came to explain the truth, and there was Master Qi as a guarantee, he naturally believed them, and would never chew his tongue in front of others. This matter is settled.

It's just that Niu Shi is still a little dissatisfied: "I said that I would let Shaoying accompany you, but now he runs away and asks you to run around with Master Qi." ”

Mr. Qin said: "I told him to go out to study, don't delay any longer, what are you complaining about him? If it weren't for the errands for our family, he would have left Mizhi a long time ago." After a few days of delay, we have dragged him down. ”

Niu Shi disagreed: "What if it's a few days earlier or a few days late? Anyway, I just want to go home." Say good things but don't do them, as if you worked hard for his reputation. ”

Old Mr. Qin shook his head: "Don't blame him anymore." In fact, he is also a hard worker. You don't know, I met his little servant in the county town today, and he sent it back to send sacrifices for Brother Ping's daughter-in-law tomorrow's 'Sanqi', and a few days later's father-in-law's 'Sanqi'. I asked the little guy a few words, only to know that Shaoying didn't go home, he went to the county!"

"Linxian?" Niu's spirit, "He helped us find Brother An's daughter-in-law?!"

Qin Hanzhen hurriedly turned his head to look at his grandfather.
