Chapter 10: Help

When he opened his eyes the next day, Qiu Chen was still confused for a moment, and then he was pulled back to reality by the two warm little bodies and gentle breathing around him.

There was no sigh, not even a sigh, Qiu Chen bent the corners of his lips, clenched his fists, and gave himself an encouragement: Qiu Chen, come on!

Getting up and dressing, and putting on the rough linen clothes, reminded Qiu Chen that there was still a major task to be completed - the family bought clothes and fabrics, and they had to sew them by hand!

Well, after eating, I went to Lan Ying to discuss it, and the excuse was that I couldn't calm down after I was sick, and I couldn't get a needle! Uh, that's okay, right?

Leave it alone. Qiu Chen still has a lot of things to do.

Last night, I added a dough primer to knead the dough, and a scoop of noodles has risen to a full pot. If you don't have time to steam in the morning, set it aside.

After boiling the porridge in the pot of bone broth last night, the steamed cake was heated again, and then cut a shredded cabbage and put it in sesame oil, salt, vinegar and sugar, and the breakfast was all alive.

Lin Xu also got up, and Qiu Chen beckoned him to wash with hot water in the pot. After it was over, Lin Xu still had to carry the flat shoulder out to carry water, but was stopped by Qiu Chen.

"I didn't have a home yesterday, and there was still a lot of water in the tank! Besides, breakfast is ready, eat it while it's hot, and then talk about the rest. So saying, he went into the back room to wake up the two children, dressed and washed, and had breakfast together.

Lan Ying's work was really good, and before the Lin family finished eating, Lan Ying carried two hens into the door: "Haven't you finished eating yet?" ”

Qiu Chen hurriedly got up and greeted: "Sister Lan Ying has eaten?" Let's have a bowl of porridge again. As he spoke, he didn't wait for Lan Ying to answer, and took a bowl and scooped a bowl of bone broth porridge into the pot.

Lan Ying still wanted to push, but was pulled to the table by Qiu Chen to sit down, Lin Xu heard about buying chickens last night, so he took the hen to the yard and temporarily held it with a basket.

Here Lan Ying took a sip of hot porridge and said with a smile: "It turns out that rice porridge can still do this, it's really delicious!" ”

Qiu Chen scooped up the porridge and fed it to Aman, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, I went to cut the meat, and no one wanted the bones to see that the bones were smooth, and the price was very cheap, so I bought two pieces of soup by the way." This soup is good for porridge, it tastes good and supplements calcium, and children can eat it well when they grow up. ”

"Calcium? What's that? Lan Ying wondered.

Qiu Chen secretly wiped her sweat, she felt that she had paid attention to it, but some habitual words were really unguardable.

smiled and said, "It's just to make up for bones." Children grow bones when they grow up, and it is not enough to eat rice, noodles and vegetables. Drink more bone broth and grow taller and stronger. "How much this is like some kind of calcium supplement advertising slogan!

Lan Ying nodded in understanding: "Oh, that's the case." "I began to think about it, I can't afford to eat meat, the bones are only penniless, people don't think there is meat on weekdays, and it costs firewood to cook bones, and no one is so rare that if it's really so good, it's better to go back and talk to my mother-in-law, and the few pennies come out, and buy a few pieces for the children to boil soup and drink.

After paying attention to it, Lan Ying told Qiu Chen again, "The two chickens I brought just now are from the first three grandmothers' families, and I also said hello to the Shengzi family and the Erkui family, both of which are two in the family, because the third grandmother feeds well, and the two hens are bigger than the others, I will make the decision for you and the third grandmother to say that the two chickens are 150 yuan, and the Shengzi family and the second kui family are 70 yuan each chicken." Qiu Chen naturally didn't say anything when he heard it.

After talking about buying chickens, Qiu Chen took the money for Lan Ying, and mentioned making clothes again: "Sister Lan Ying, I still have one more thing, after I get better this time, I don't know what's wrong, I can't hold a needle and thread anymore, I tried to do it again, I can't do it without a few stitches, and I can't ......see it when I do work."

After a pause, giving Lan Ying a time to digest, Qiu Chen said again: "Seeing that the weather is getting warmer day by day, my two babies and his uncle are still wearing winter cotton clothes and can't change them, this time I went to the street and pulled a few feet of cloth, I can't do it, so I have to ask you to think about it, whose sister-in-law can do a favor." I can't let the family suffer in vain, the four of us have a set of orders, and I'll give a hundred dollars when I'm done, and ten catties of white noodles are okay? ”

Qiu Chen bought first-class fine white noodles, seven yuan for one pound of white noodles, seventy yuan for ten catties, plus one hundred yuan for manual labor, that is, one hundred and seventy yuan, and the village is a lot of income.

Lan Ying also recovered from the shock of hearing that Qiu Chen couldn't do needlework, and looked at Qiu Chen's eyes with some pity and distress. Begonia girl is such a good person, why is she so miserable!

In this way, Lan Ying also thought more and more about Qiu Chen: "Where is it used so much, and there is no work in the field, and the daughters-in-law and daughter-in-law are cooking, and they can't find any money." Besides, the village invites someone to build a house and a beam, and if you give too much, it will make people say that they are pinched. Actually, if you weren't waiting to wear it, I'd have made it for you...... In this way, I am looking for it, Qinghe's sister-in-law and Erkui's daughter-in-law are good at needlework, and there are no milk children at home, so they have kung fu. You only need to give two catties of white flour per person. That's it, I'm going to ask, if it's okay, I'll start doing it as soon as possible, and I'll get it in one day. I'm leaving......"

When the words fell, Lan Ying had already gone out in a hurry. In the room, Qiu Chen and Lin Xu glanced at each other and smiled at the same time.

After breakfast, Qiu Chen cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Lan Ying also led the two women back.

The two women live not far from the Lin family, the husband's surname is Liu, and a man is called Qinghe, who is in his thirties, and everyone calls him Qinghe's sister-in-law; The other man is called Erkui, who is about the same age as Qiu Chen, younger than Lan Ying and Qinghe's sister-in-law, and everyone is called Erkui's daughter-in-law. The three women walked into the door with a smile, Lan Ying and the second daughter-in-law each carried two hens in their hands, and Qinghe's sister-in-law held a needlework basket in their hands.

As soon as they entered the door, Qinghe's sister-in-law and Erkui's daughter-in-law asked about Qiu Chen's condition one after another, and naturally they couldn't help but comfort them, but Lan Ying didn't want to arouse Qiu Chen's sadness, so she immediately mixed up with the words.

"Oh, I am holding a child in my hand to catch at home, the second daughter-in-law is her own house, these little hens are a year chicks, last autumn on the crotch, now the weather is warm, feed a few days, there are eggs to pick up." Lan Ying said, leaned in front of Qiu Chen and whispered, "I've touched them one by one, several chickens have eggs, and they will be able to lay eggs in three or four days......"

Qiu Chen suddenly remembered that he had heard a joke that there was an old lady in a remote village who saved eggs for money every day, and the chickens and ducks in the countryside were free-range...... Embarrassment!

What, in the morning, I touched the chicken's butt at the door of the chicken coop to determine if there was an egg matter. It sounds embarrassing now, but this kind of thing is very common and common in poor days...... l3l4
