Chapter 135: Correcting Fu'er (Addition)
Chapter 135 Correction
Qiu Chen and Lan Ying were talking, eating fruits, and the little stewards of the Qingshan family, Chengzi, Liu Zhanxiang, and Lin Zi also reported the number of people who asked for leave.
The July 15th Midyear Festival is still not weaker than the sacrificial day of the Qingming Festival in this era, more than half of the helpers said that they needed to ask for leave, and the rest also said that it was better to have a holiday, so Qiu Chen asked a few little stewards: "You have cleaned up the work at hand, right?" It's okay to take a day off tomorrow, right? ”
Qingshan's family said: "I'll come over tomorrow, I didn't say anything at noon today, and it is estimated that someone will come to sell herbs tomorrow." ”
Qiu Chen smiled and nodded: "Okay, you can just come over and fry the medicine in the afternoon." Packing and drying, I'll assign a few people here to do it. ”
The Aoyama family didn't say much, and responded with a smile.
Qiu Chen looked at Liu Zhanfeng and Chengzi again, Liu Zhanfeng, Quan Ge'er and others had no extension in the work at hand, even if they stopped, they would stop, and it would not cause anything wrong. The soap-making process that Chengzi is responsible for is relatively malleable.
Liu Zhanfeng shook his head, and Chengzi said: "The work of boiling soap is completed, and the pot and stove are also cleaned up." It's okay to take a day off tomorrow if you're in shape. ”
"Okay, since everyone is fine, let's have a day off tomorrow." Qiu Chen said with a smile, and hurriedly urged Liu Zhanfeng, "You guys hurry up, go and inform you." Let's take a day off tomorrow and go to work normally the day after tomorrow. Hey, let's say ha, we won't deduct tomorrow's wages, just send it! ”
Liu Zhanfeng smiled and promised to go quickly, and when he got out of the gate of the Lin family, he saw that the helpers were still at the door and had not left. Just now, the lady of the proprietor asked the steward about the sacrifice, and they roughly estimated that the proprietor was going to have a holiday, and they were all waiting for the letter here.
Hearing about the promise of vacation, especially according to the salary...... The men burst into cheers.
Qiu Chen, Lan Ying, and Qingshan's family couldn't help but laugh when they heard this cheer in the courtyard.
Qingshan's family said: "This time, those who failed to come to the Lin family to work are even more panicked!" ”
Lan Ying also said: "Yes, our family is the most generous...... Hehe, speaking of which, there have been many people who have asked the grandparents of the bolt before, if it weren't for the direct registration and selection this time, maybe the threshold of several of our families would have been trampled on. ”
Qiu Chen didn't say a word, and talked with Lan Yingqingshan's family for a while, and then gave the two of them a bag of dates, pears and other fruits, and sent them home.
Qiu Chen had been on the road for a day, and when she got home, she had been busy again, and now that the outsiders were gone, she also felt relieved, and the heavy fatigue became obvious.
Looking up at the sky, the clear night sky, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the moon that has been bright and round hangs obliquely in the sky, sprinkling a soft light...... The night was beautiful, but Qiu Chen was a little dazed. It's been almost half a year since she arrived here, and it's more or less better when there is the sun during the day, and she can roughly estimate the time, and as soon as the sun sets, she has no concept of time at all. The moon and stars are timed, and there is really no concept in her mind!
Whew, it is said that the homes of high-ranking officials and wealthy people have already used clocks imported from the West, and when will she get one!
Daxing's family came over and said that the bath water was boiled, Qiu Chen asked Qingxing and Yufeng to prepare, and she went to the front yard to take a look......
Walking to the gate, Shunzi, Daxing, and Qingjiang were sitting and talking outside the gate, and when they saw Qiu Chen coming out, they all hurriedly stood up.
"You guys sit, I'll come out and see the children......" Qiu Chen said while waving his hand.
Shunzi smiled and said: "Madam, the second young master and the nephew young master, as well as Yuqiang and a few boys are also following, it will be fine, Madame, don't worry." ”
Qiu Chen nodded, stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked into the distance, under the hazy night moon, all the distinctive houses and trees in the day and day merged into a unified group of thick or faint black shadows, quiet and peaceful...... But I didn't see the shadow of the lantern, and when I thought about it, the group of people who were playing happily and didn't know where they were hidden by the trees of the house.
Thinking that Lin Xu and Junwen followed, Qiu Chen could only be patient, instructed Shunzi and Daxing a few words, and turned back to the backyard by himself.
The children were not at home, Qiu Chen went to the east ear room to take a comfortable bath, rinsed with warm water again, and then took a large cloth towel to dry his body, changed into a comfortable muslin clothes and pants, rubbed his hair, and shoes, and slowly walked out.
The clothes and pants she wears are specially made by the Qingjiang family's home clothes, the trouser legs and sleeves are seven points, and the size is slightly looser than the ones worn during the day.
Wiping his hair half-dry, Qiu Chen came to the dressing mirror in the bedroom, and looked at the thin figure in the mirror by the slightly hazy candlelight, this body is still too thin, such a figure is beautiful, but it is too unbearable, and when something happens, it is very tiring to stare at it.
However, the complexion is much better than the sallow yellow when I first came, fair, and moisturized, especially after taking a hot bath at this time, my cheeks and lips are dyed with a faint layer of begonia red, which makes me feel a lot more energetic.
After combing his hair, Qiu Chen went to the dresser next to him to take homemade rose dew and gently patted it on his face...... Well, it looks like autumn is coming, and autumn in the north is very dry, so she can't just shoot some flower dew, she has to take the time to pour some moisturizing lotions and creams! There is also Fu'er Man'er, children's cheeks are easy to freeze in winter, and they have to make some ointment to prevent chapping and frostbite to come out and give Fu'er Man'er a use. As for Junyan Junzhang and the others, it's not that Qiu Chen can't think of them, but I'm afraid that those leather boys who always advertise themselves as manly people won't use any face cream.
I wiped the rose dew and was about to make the bed, when I heard the sound of footsteps running on the ground outside the house, and then there was a bright little voice from Aman: "Mother...... Mother......"
As soon as he heard this cheerful little movement, he knew that this little girl had a good time all night, and Qiu Chen couldn't help but be infected by this cheerfulness, smiled and walked towards the door with the voice.
"Sister, slow down......" Although Ah Fu ran out of breath, he still followed closely behind Ah Man, supporting his sister with a pair of small hands. Behind the two of them, there were Lin Xu Junwen and a few little girls and boys, and a large group of people came in.
Qiu Chen greeted the door, Aman rushed into her arms like a little meat ball, hugged Qiu Chen's neck and kissed her, and began to chirp and talk about where she went all night and what she played with......
Qiu Chen took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on Man'er's forehead, and then reached into Man'er's back, which was also sweaty.
"Let's go, let's go into the house, and Man'er will slowly talk to his mother, okay?" Qiu Chen picked up Ah Man and said with a smile, stretched out his hand to pull Ah Fu, and said to Qing Xing: "Give them those washed haode fruits, and let them take those packets of snacks back, after running all night, it is estimated that they should be hungry." ”
Qing Xing should go to the thing in the West Lane. Yuqiang took a few small bows and thanked them, and rushed back to the front yard with fruits and pastries.
Lin Xu and Junwen sent the lanterns they were carrying into the house, Qiu Chen wiped the sweat for Ah Fu and Aman, and took the water sent by Yufeng for the two children to drink, and then took a piece of melon to Ah Fu, and took a piece of melon to feed Ah Man, and then smiled and said to Lin Xu Junwen: "Where did you go to play one night, I didn't see you at the gate just now!" ”
Lin Xu and Junwen glanced at each other, both of them smiled, and said, "I went to the village, there are many children in the courtyard of the village......
Qiu Chen blinked his eyes, and then he understood, because there were many children in the courtyard of the village midfield, and several children played lanterns, this was to show off in a crowded place!
Laughing, he looked down and saw that Aman was really tired from running, a piece of melon had not been eaten, and the upper and lower eyelids had been sticking together......
Junwen and Lin Xu also saw the appearance of the little girl, and they couldn't stop laughing.
Qiu Chen was also a little crying and laughing, this girl was still so lively when she first entered the door, and she became a cat who squinted and slept lazily in the blink of an eye. Really......
Holding Aman and getting up, Qiu Chen pointed to the melon and fruit snacks on the table, and said to Lin Xu Junwen: "This little girl can't hold on...... Go back and eat. After eating, call hot water to wash and go to bed early, and don't stay up late tonight to read! ”
Lin Xu and Junwen bowed down with a smile, Junyan Junzhang had a plate for each person, brought melons, fruits and snacks, and several people went with a smile.
Qiu Chen hugged Ah Man, led Ah Fu to the east ear room, bathed the eldest and the younger, changed into dry cotton shorts and pants, and returned to the bedroom bed together.
When Aman fished it out of the bathtub, he couldn't open his eyes, and when he put it on the bed, his fleshy little body rolled and fell asleep. Ah Fu carefully moved the little fat leg that smashed on him, and his little face was so red that Qiu Chen, who was fanning mosquitoes and putting the tent, turned his face and saw it, and suddenly felt a sense of pity.
Aman's little girl is lively and even a little spicy, but Ah Fu is not sensible like a four or five-year-old child, nor like a child, she is a little too quiet and sensible, and sometimes Qiu Chen feels distressed when she looks at it.
Moreover, Ah Fu's small body has not been as strong as Aman's, and after four or five months, his complexion is better, and he has grown some flesh, and he is no longer so skinny, but he is far from being as fleshy as Xiao Aman.
Qiu Chen hooked the corners of his lips, leaned over and turned Ah Man's head into the bed, and moved Ah Fu to him.
Accustomed to taking a step back, accustomed to watching his mother's loving sister and his sister's affection on the side, Ah Fu, who was held in his mother's arms, and a little uncomfortable for a while, his little face was also red.
Qiu Chen looked at his shrinking son, his heart was sour, but the smile on his face deepened a little, holding his son's small body, Qiu Chen said, "Where did you go to play tonight?" ”
As soon as this topic was mentioned, it was obvious that Ah Fu was also very happy, so he forgot about the discomfort of being held in his mother's arms, raised his eyes and said: "We first played by the lotus pond for a while, and the big tiger and the two tigers came to say, and there were also people in the village who turned on the lights, shouting to compare with those people whose lights were bright, whose lights were good-looking, and we went together to ......."
Speaking of playing with his friends, Ah Fu's eyes were bright, slightly bent, full of joy and joy, Qiu Chen listened carefully, and from time to time let out an interjection such as 'oh' and 'yes', encouraging Ah Fu to continue, the little alienation between the mother and son was eliminated in Ah Fu's description, in the little snoring of Ah Man's little girl.
The next day, after the family had breakfast, Qiu Chen took Afu Aman, Lin Xu, Daxing and Qingjiang to carry shovels and sacrifices, and went to Lin Sheng's grave together.
There was also a day off in the school, and there were fewer people who came to send Luo Buma at noon, Qiu Chen handed them over to Daxing and Junwen Junshu to take care of, and she devoted herself to accompanying Afu Aman.
Last night she suddenly realized that these days, she paid more attention to Aman's little girl, and ignored Afu, now, the affairs of the family and the workshop have been straightened out, and she also has a lot of independent time and energy, so she should no longer ignore the child. The kid was too naughty and annoying, but too quiet, and something was wrong.
Qiu Chen put Fu'er Man'er on both sides, told stories to the two children, and took a nap with the two children for a short while. When the children woke up, she asked Qingxing and Yufeng to put a table under the eaves of the porch, took a pen and paper, and discussed with Afu Aman what trees to plant in which yard, what flowers to plant, and where to set up a swing...... Qiu Chen also drew out the children's activity facilities that he had wanted to make for a long time, and told Afu Aman to listen, this is a seesaw, this is a slide, this is a slide, and this is a single-plank bridge......
The two children were very excited, their eyes were bright, especially Ah Fu, and they also made a lot of suggestions, Qiu Chen praised them well, and praised Ah Fu boy so much that his face was flushed, and his words were better than usual.
After drawing the drawings, Qiu Chen led Afu Aman to the backyard for a field trip, and the mother and son discussed, where to put the seesaw and where to set the slide...... The place was determined one by one, the sun was also in the west, and the Junwen Junshu brothers had also finished collecting Luo Buma, so Qiu Chen beckoned to lead the horses together, and installed saddles and stirrups...... Qiu Chen also took the rouge and took the children to teach the children to ride horses on a barren slope in the east of the village.
Because Afu Aman is too young, he can only be held by people to learn to control horses for the time being.
Lin Xu's riding skills are already good. Qiu Chen asked Afu Aman to choose between the two of them and choose one to be his instructor.
Ah Fu and Ah Man looked at each other, and looked Qiu Chen and Lin Xu up and down for a long time, Ah Fu held his little hands behind his back and said with a serious expression: "Can my mother and second uncle ride a horse for us to see?" ”
Qiu Chen opened his eyes and turned back to Lin Xu and smiled: "It seems that the two of us still have to show our riding skills!" ”
Lin Xu also smiled, nodded, and asked Junwen Junshu to retreat to the side with Afu Aman Junyan Junzhang, Qiu Chen smiled at Lin Xu, pulled the reins of the horse and stepped on the pedals, neatly turned over the horse, and sat firmly on the horse's back. Although Lin Xu's movements were also very neat, he was not as skilled as Qiu Chen's movements after all, and when he got on the horse, he was slightly slower by half a beat.
Qiu Chen raised the horsewhip in his hand, pointed to a big willow tree under the hillside, and said, "Do you see that tree?" Let's run there, go around the trees and run back! ”
Ranei is usually polite and polite, but he also has a few feelings of pride when he rides on horseback, he also straightens his waist, nods to Qiu Chen, looks at Qiu Chen bowed slightly, raises his right hand and waves it hard, and the uncle and sister-in-law clamp the horse's belly and rush out at the same time.
Because it was a barren slope with some gravel, weeds and shrubs, Qiu Chen instructed Lin Xu while running: "The road conditions are not good, don't rush too much, pay attention to your feet, don't hurt the horse's hooves and fall yourself!" ”
Qiu Chen slowed down as he spoke.
Lin Xu smiled gratefully, also brought the reins of the horse, and slowly ran towards the big willow tree under the slope.
The uncle and sister-in-law were careful, but the journey was not far, and it did not take much effort, and the uncle and sister-in-law returned to the children almost at the same time, and jumped off the horse together. When he got off the horse, Qiu Chen's jishu with the horse was better, and the horse stopped immediately, but Lin Xu's horse took two steps forward, so that people who didn't know the situation looked at it, but it seemed that Lin Xu was running faster.
As soon as the little girl let go of Junwen's hand, she opened her arms and ran towards Lin Xu with her little fat legs: "Second uncle, second uncle, I choose second uncle!" ”
Qiu Chen pretended to be injured, raised his hand and pinched Aman's little face: "You little conscienceless!" ”
provoked Man'er to giggle and nest into Lin Xu's neck, but still hugged Lin Xu and didn't let go.
As a result, Qiu Chen became Ah Fu's equestrian instructor.
After that, Qiu Chen hugged Ah Fu, Lin Xu hugged Ah Man, Junwen Junshu got on their horses, Junyan Junzhang also rode the foal sent by Liao Wenqing, and the family walked slowly with the horse on the slope. An hour passed quickly, and Ah Fu was able to sit on the horse's back and let the horse slow down. Aman is still young after all, but he can still only snuggle in Lin Xu's arms, but he also slaps the little slap with a lively smile, and there is no regret.
Facing the brilliant sunset, the family led the horse home.
From this day on, Qiu Chen would take Ah Fu out for a walk every morning when Ah Man was not awake. Ah Fu's riding skills have improved rapidly, his body has gradually become stronger, and his temperament has gradually become more cheerful, Qiu Chen saw it in his eyes, and he was happy in his heart.
After July 15, the Lin family resumed their orderly busyness.
After July 15, the autumn harvest gradually matured, first mung beans and red adzuki beans matured one after another, then sesame seeds were cut back together with the plants, then soybeans and millet were ......
The four acres of land before the Lin family were planted with miscellaneous grains, and the harvest was not concentrated, one after another, Qiu Chen did not find any more manpower, and only let Qingjiang or Daxing follow Liu Sanhe to harvest.
Gradually, the originally empty courtyard of the Lin family changed silently, with a bunch of red peppers and two strings of red peppers under the eaves...... On the roof of the shed in the east courtyard, there is a row of sesame seeds, and on the side of the front yard, on a sunny day, there are often a few baskets of mung bean pods, red bean pods, or yellow and round soybeans. There are also under the eaves of the porch, and some white flowers and velvet-like cotton are often sunburned......
This shijie doesn't have corn, no potatoes, no sweet potatoes...... As a result, there are many fewer crops for the autumn harvest.
It was as if one day, the humid heat dissipated all at once. The sky suddenly rose, the clouds seemed to be far away all of a sudden, the blue sky, the sky was clear, and people's breathing seemed to be smooth and refreshing all of a sudden.
In this increasingly strong autumn mood, July has passed, and August has gradually yellowed the grass and trees all over the ground.
With the autumn coming, there are also ...... that Qiu Chen and no one thought of
------Off topic------
It's late...... I'm sorry......
