Du Jiumei looked at the embroidery needles in the sewing basket, which were shorter and thinner than ordinary sewing needles. Yang had done embroidery for a morning, and his hands must have been very tired.

Du Jiumei hurriedly went to get a basin of hot water, and said: "Mother, you bubble your hands, move your fingers well, get up and walk, and you can eat in a while." ”

Yang was busy embroidering, his hands were indeed very tired, he put his hands in hot water to bubble, revitalized his muscles and bones, looked at his little daughter who was busy before and after and said softly: "Our little Jiu'er is really filial." ”

Du Jiumei was praised like this, and she was embarrassed to blush. She found out that as long as she did a little good deed, she would be greatly praised by her mother, brothers and sisters.

However, it reflects from the side how favored the previous original owner was, and how useless he was at the same time.

After soaking his hands, Yang used a little lard and rubbed his hands vigorously. This not only activates the blood in the fingers, but also makes the hands delicate. There are pros and cons, the back is a little oily, and after eating a good meal, you have to wash it with plant ash.

Now I can't afford to use pancreas at home, and although the grass and wood ash is black, it doesn't cost money.

Du Jiumei looked at Yang's oily hands, especially missing the hand cream in her previous life. It's just that she only makes wine, and she doesn't know how to make hand cream or hand balm or anything like that. I just look forward to waiting for the money to go to the rouge gouache shop in the county town to buy some skin care products.

Lunch was very simple, a handful of rice was burned with gruel, and a steamed sorghum flour and wheat noodles were steamed to make something similar to steamed bun wotou, and a large plate of dried beans stewed in lard on the table, and a plate of cold wild vegetables.

It's not rich, but it's full. This makes the five mothers who have just achieved food and clothing very satisfied, even if Du Jiumei slanders in her heart that the nest is not delicious, but she can't admit that the current days are not easy to come by.

Yang is eager to do work, except for embroidery, nothing is good. In addition to cooking, washing clothes, and all other things in the house are handed over to Du Wulang and Du Balang, Du Jiumei is the most idle in the family.

Du Wulang taught Du Balang to learn to read and write, and Du Jiumei also learned, when she learned, she would not sit there honestly and play with the two puppies.

Du Balang is very envious, Xiao Jiu'er is so smart, she learns everything quickly, but she also knows the truth that stupid birds fly first, when you know it, you can write, and then you go to tease the puppy with her sister.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and Da Hei was not only fine, but became black and shiny, and looked much more handsome than Rhubarb.

Du Jiumei's experiment was successful, believing that the space spring water was useless in the jade pendant space, but it was okay outside, as for why this was so, she had not yet found the reason.

Since it is not toxic, it can promote plant growth. Du Jiumei took advantage of the fact that everyone else had something to do, so she took the opportunity to go in and out of the backyard a few times, and watered the watermelons in the backyard with spring water.

This thing is really useful, and the watermelon seedlings grow very luxuriantly.

The watermelon was planted by Du Qimei, but because Du Qimei didn't know the growth of watermelons, the watermelon seedlings at home grew fast, and she thought that the watermelons planted by others were also like this.

In just half a month, it has already covered the entire backyard. Du Jiumei poured the spring water twice, and then she didn't dare anymore, it originally took more than two months to produce watermelons, if it matured for more than a month, the family didn't know the severity, and the rest of the village knew, it would definitely set off a storm.

Fortunately, the growth rate of watermelons that have not been watered with spring water has slowed down, and the most Du Jiumei does on weekdays is to weed and fertilize in the backyard.

The watermelon seedlings grow well, and the family says that it is the credit of Du Jiumei. Du Jiumei, who is useless, has found something that reflects her value.

Half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the embroidery work that Yang picked up from the county has been completed, with a total of twelve purses, each of which has a different pattern.

The purse is very beautiful, and Yang made a simple purse for his two daughters with leftovers, and the embroidery on it is not large, but it is very delicate.

Du Qimei, Du Jiumei likes it very much, and carries it with her all day long, this is the most exquisite thing they have received when they grow so big.

"Tomorrow, I will go to the county seat with Gorou, and I feel that there is something missing at home, so I will calculate it and buy it back together tomorrow." Yang was going to the county seat to deliver embroidery work and get paid. A purse of two hundred wen for wages, twelve for two or four pieces of silver.

Du Jiumei's eyes were dripping, time flies so fast, the peach blossom brew she buried in the ground is estimated to be good now, and she can take it out and taste it.

If it succeeds, while the flowering period of the peach blossoms has not passed, I believe that my mother will agree to her brewing peach blossom brew.

"The oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at home are gone, so buy some tomorrow." Du Qimei cooks every day and knows everything in the kitchen.

"Well, I'll buy it tomorrow." Yang nodded, "This time I am short of money, I will go to send embroidery work later, and then buy you some cloth to make a few new clothes." ”

When they heard that there would be new clothes to wear in the summer in the near future, everyone was very happy.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Du Jiumei cautiously ran to Du Wulang's side and whispered, "Fifth brother, do you remember the peach blossom brew we buried in the ground before?" I guess we can drink it, let's dig it out, and we have to let my mother drink some too. ”

It's rare for my mother to rest today, get a few more dishes, and celebrate well.

Du Wulang didn't know how to make peach blossom brew, but seeing that his sister was interested, he just had to put a little effort, and if the time was not right, he would put it in and continue to bury it.

"Okay, Fifth Brother will dig for you." Du Wulang took the shovel and went to the backyard, and it only took a short time to dig out the wine jar.

Although it had not yet been opened, Du Goro could already smell a strong peach blossom fragrance mixed with the aroma of wine, wafting around.

Du Wulang was surprised and asked, "Xiao Jiu'er, is this really good?" In his impression, winemaking is a very complex and advanced skill, where is it like Xiao Jiu'er can make peach blossom wine by putting some peach petals in the wine jar?

Du Jiumei listened, she didn't need to look at it, smelled the smell, she could judge that the peach blossom brew was ready. Although the wine used is not very good, under the effect of the wine fruit, the taste of peach blossom brewing is not a little worse, which is also very related to the wine made from pure grains.

"It's so fragrant, it must be good, let's move out." Du Jiumei urged, as a brewing master, you don't need to look, just smell with your nose, you can judge whether the peach blossom brew is good. Although it is not as good as the peach blossom brewed in the previous life, it is also a fine wine.

Du Goro carried him to the well and washed the soil off the coarse porcelain jar before carefully opening the seal, and an even stronger fragrance of peach blossoms wafted out of the jar.

Not only attracted the attention of Yang and others, but also the two little dogs, Rhubarb and Dahei, circled around, as if it was fairy wine inside, and they couldn't wait to come up and take two sips.
