Chapter 56: Tacit Understanding (Three Watches)
Fox Dayou and Thirteen Yi left, several people felt depressed, no one wanted to talk, and everyone took something to do their own.
Fox Lixiang took out her old cotton jacket, took out a needle and thread, and prepared to sew up the missing threads and tattered places, and make do with this winter, leaving a slightly smaller one, Wei Sanniang is ready to use it to change it and wear it for Fox Xiaomei.
Fox Lixiang's needlework is very good, and now many of the clothes on her body are changed by herself, and Hu Xiaomei's embroidery skills are completely playing the piano, and taking needle and thread can only be seen by the eyes, if you let change the clothes, she is holding scissors and needlework and don't know where to start, Wei Sanniang said that she is lazy and stupid, so that even the weekday clothes are torn, and the craftsmanship of stitching, Wei Sanniang is very disgusted.
The mother and daughter sat in the yard with clothes and needlework. Fox Fence took the book and sat down in a place that he felt was bright and undisturbed.
Only the fox Xiaomei was bored, and in the end she simply moved a stool and sat next to the fox fence to listen to him read!
"Zhi Hu is also" is dizzy to hear, simple traditional Chinese characters are mostly known by her liberal arts knowledge that has always been among the best in college, and only some complex traditional characters are still alive.
After watching it for a while, Hu Xiaomei simply got up and went to prepare the dinner for the evening, the dishes had been washed, and she would only wait for Hu Dayou to come back and fry them; The cooking rice didn't arrive, and the fox didn't know when he would come back. She's not the wild girl, she likes to go out and hang around.
The pigweed Wei Sanniang had already cut the grass and chicken food, and the family was left alone to walk around the yard.
In fact, it's not all because of idleness, but Hu Xiaomei is holding things in her heart and thinking about it. She decided to make suggestions to Wei Sanniang, so she told her idea of planting chrysanthemum.
It's not just fox fence incense. Even Wei Sanniang was surprised!
"You mean, let's take that dryland dam and plant chrysanthemum?" Wei Sanniang still didn't believe it. Her daughter is usually the most timid, how could she think of such a bold idea at this time?
Hu Xiaomei nodded: "This chrysanthemum grows fast, and it will mature in one to two months, and it should be able to be sold before the end of the year." And its planting is not troublesome, as long as the time comes to loosen the soil, fertilization and watering, only the father and mother are harder, but. My sister and I will come to help when the time comes...... If our family wraps up this piece of dry land, we will have a lot of income by then. Coupled with the bean curd business, our family can have a solid New Year! Not only can I put clothes on the junior again, but my eldest sister and I also have new clothes to wear. Mother, you and your father haven't bought new clothes for many years, so we don't have to worry about the New Year's goods for our family. ”
What a plan, what a beautiful future! Plenty of New Year's goods, delicious snacks, and beautiful new clothes!
Fox fence incense. Wei Sanniang was very moved.
The fox fence shouted excitedly: "...... When the time comes, I will make clothes again, and I will go to the 'Guilai Pastry Shop' to buy pastries, and buy more melon seeds and red dates. In this way, our family will have a lot of snacks to eat during the New Year...... By the way, and meat, I'm going to eat chicken......"
Saying that, Fox Lixiang and Wei Sanniang swallowed their saliva unconsciously.
But. How wide is the dryland dam? That's five acres of land! Let's not talk about how much money it costs to rent land, such a large piece of dry land. I haven't planted anything for many years, and I've been trampled into a field. It's a bit difficult to hire an ox to plow. The soil is not loose enough, too tight, which is not conducive to the growth of chrysanthemum, and the dry land absorbs water, so I don't know how much water to pick up for such a large piece of land! Don't you want to exhaust people to death?
Wei Sanniang frowned and shook her head, although she wanted to do this in her heart, she knew that it was very difficult: "You have to discuss your father about this matter." ”
However, Fox Lixiang thinks that Fox Xiaomei's method is good.
“…… In previous years, didn't our family's three acres of land be hoeed by ourselves? Although this dry land is tighter, take more time, go out early and return late every day, father, mother, me, the second child, plus the third child, is it difficult to get it out? ”
The fox fence, who was still excited just now, heard that the hoe had its own name, and immediately shouted: "Don't count me, I still have to go to the school, every day Mr. has assigned homework, I don't have time to hoe." ”
"Hujia Village is not far from the town, forget about the noon, you go home after school in the afternoon, and go to the field to help after completing the homework assigned by Mr. If Fox Lixiang is desperate to do her job, she can sometimes catch up with Wei Sanniang, as long as she is determined to do something, she has to do it by all means. This is what Hu Xiaomei admires most about her.
If you really talk about hoeing, Hu Xiaomei has no bottom in her heart.
Before, she hadn't even touched a hoe. After coming to this place, she is also lazy and lazy in her daily work, and she can fool around if she can pass the test. But now this matter is related to her future life, and she is not an ambiguous person, so she encouraged the fox fence: "...... If you think about the white silver, your heart will be much easier, and then you will think about the new clothes we will wear at that time, even if you are tired, you will feel that it is worth it......"
The fox fence is a lazy one, it's better to do something else, let him hoe the ground is more painful than killing him: "...... You have to hoe the land for farming work twice a year, and now is not the busy season for farming, why do you bother...... It's so sore that my shoulders are sore, don't you see my hands, grinding out calluses, and blistering, holding the pen is painful, so how can I go to school in the future...... Besides, that dryland dam is like a hammer, how can it be dug up? If you want new clothes, you go, but I don't want them. "Contrary to the previous attitude, I don't want to!
Fox Lixiang glared at him with hatred, why didn't he see him grinding so much when it was his turn to eat and drink, this good opportunity to send to the door didn't make more money, could it be that their family would always be like this in the future? What about her and Hu Xiaomei's dowry? What will you take to marry a daughter-in-law after the fox fence?
As the saying goes, if the young don't work hard, the boss will be injured. If you change to their home, if you don't work hard at this time, you will regret it later.
Fox Fence Xiang's face was flat, and his tone was unquestionable: "Except for when you study, you have to go to the field to help in other free time, if you don't do it, you have to do it, if you take the initiative to go, that's the best!" ”
"Why are you like this? What if it affects my studies? "The whole person of the fox fence is not good, and I don't want to read the book. Stand in the courtyard and wail.
Fox Fence Xiang stared at him coldly, with a non-negotiable expression.
And the fox Xiaomei smiled and said, "Little three." As far as your grades in the academy are concerned, don't delay and that's it! ”
The fox fence raised his eyebrows. shouted: "Second sister, why are you like this!" Turning his head to look at Wei Sanniang, he looked aggrieved: "Mother......"
Wei Sanniang, who had been silent, interrupted him: "I'll talk about this when your father comes back." After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to sew up.
The plan failed, and the fox fence sat back with a bitter face. Fox Lixiang glanced at him lukewarmly and continued the work in hand, only Fox Xiaomei sat in the yard very leisurely, with one hand on her chin, looking up at the blue sky, and her mouth did not forget to make a mistake: "It's okay now." I need to rest and rest! ”
The fox fence immediately jumped up, pointed at the fox Xiaomei, and shouted unconvinced: "I protest, why is this so?" I'm the youngest in this family, and you should all take care of me. But not only did I have to go to school every day, but I also had to complete the homework assigned by my husband when I went home, and I had to go to the field to help hoe in my free time. So. You're all busier than I am, but why is there someone here who is busier than me? ”
No one paid attention to him, only the smug smile of the fox Xiaomei!
Fox Xiaomei didn't sit idle for a while. Wei Qingbao came, he wore a brand new blue coarse cloth clothes today, and the material was average. The workmanship is very fine, and it looks like those bought in ready-to-wear stores. The whole person looks very good looking. Plus he's long and stout. At the age of fifteen, it gives people a sense of calm.
“…… I didn't see yellow mud in the river, so my uncle planned to go upstream to the river to have a look. So I was asked to come and talk to my aunt, and by the way, I got another big basket. Wei Qingbao smiled and relayed the words of Fox Dayou to Wei Sanniang as they were, and at the end he comforted Wei Sanniang and said: "...... I will definitely have to come back later when I go upstream, and you don't have to worry about it, I'm fine anyway, just help my uncle find it. ”
In recent years, a lot of river sand has been washed down from the upstream, and it is indeed not as easy as in previous years to dig yellow mud in the river.
Isn't there thirteen, why is it called Wei Qingbaolai?
Wei Sanniang was puzzled, and said with a smile on her face: "Oh, how can I let you help again?" "In the past few years, I have had something to do at home, and Shuwei Qingbao has helped the most diligently. On the surface, they are related, but in fact, she knows that the reason is not here.
Wei Sanniang asked Hu Xiaomei to help her get it, Wei Qingbao's eyes followed Hu Xiaomei, she lowered her head and spread out the needle and thread, and after a while, she looked up at Wei Qingbao again, and said with a smile: "Your mother's craftsmanship is getting better and better, this dress is very good!" ”
Wei Qingbao scratched his hair and said embarrassedly: "I bought it in a ready-to-wear store, and I thought it looked good at the time, so I bought it back, but when I came back, I was scolded by my mother." ”
The ancients were mostly skilled in needlework and embroidery, and most of them, whether poor or rich, sewed their own clothes.
The poor are here to save, and the rich are sophisticated.
Wei Qingbao is a waste like this, and it is reasonable to be scolded.
Wei Sanniang said with a smile: "You are a child with a clear brain, ability, and can earn money, you should spend this." However, your mother's words also make sense, just pay attention to it in the future. ”
Wei Qingbao was afraid that Wei Sanniang would feel that he was spending money lavishly, but after listening, he found that Wei Sanniang did not dislike him at all, but comforted him, and his heart suddenly became relaxed, and he hurriedly said: "Auntie is right, I will pay attention to it in the future." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Fox Xiaomei, and found that she was concentrating on holding the bamboo basket in the corner, not caring about what they were talking about, and couldn't help but be slightly disappointed.
Fox Xiaomei took a basket of the same size as Fox Dayou, and then found the flat pole, so that when the time comes, she will pick it up when she finds the yellow mud.
Wei Qingbao didn't say a word, stepped forward to take the basket and the flat burden, and carried it on his shoulder.
Hu Xiaomei stopped him: "Brother Qingbao, if you have something at home, go back first, and I'll send it to my father." ”
"How's that going to work!" Wei Qingbao refused, and said very seriously: "I promised my uncle to send it to him personally." ”
"It's okay, I'll just tell my dad." Fox Xiaomei said.
Wei Qingbao still shook his head: "It's not a long way, since I promised, I must send it." "His expression was very serious, and he looked like he couldn't say anything.
Wei Sanniang next to her looked at it and said, "Forget it, let Qingbao help send it over!" He said to Wei Qingbao again: "Qingbao, then trouble you!" ”
Wei Qingbao smiled when he heard this, and said, "Don't bother, aunt, you're too polite." ”
Fox Xiaomei originally felt bored at home, wanted to go out to breathe, or follow his father to the river for a walk, in her previous life, she did not go to the countryside to play, in the summer, she liked to step on stones by the river barefoot, this season can not step on stones, even walking by the river is also very good.
It's a pity that Wei Qingbao didn't have a tacit understanding with her, what a good thing, it's in the soup! (To be continued......)
