The two walked for nearly half an hour with the basket on their backs before they went around to their own vegetable garden, walked from the back of the house to the yard and put down the basket, Qiao Yi hurriedly went into the house and poured two glasses of water, one was given to Qiao Liu, and one was given to himself who was also sweating profusely.

After drinking the water in the cup, Qiao Yi didn't have time to rest, so he found three dustpans, moved a bench and sat at the door, and began to remove the petals of a wide variety of flowers in the back basket, carefully preventing damage, sorting and spreading in the dustpan, Qiao Liu, who had finished drinking the water, saw it, and also came over to help work together.

The two of them were quick with their hands and feet, and put the petals packed in the dustpan to dry on a few stone piers in the yard, Qiao Liu wiped his sweat: "Is this okay?" ”

"Of course not" Qiao Yi glanced at the acacia tree in front of the door: "Second sister, this acacia is also what we want to use." ”

"What? Acacia? The two in front of our door? Qiao Liu also turned his head to stare at the two acacia trees in front of the door.

Qiao Yi nodded: "Of course, second sister, we have to find a stick and tie a sickle to hook some acacia down." ”

After listening to Qiao Yan's words, Qiao Liu frowned: "Okay, I'll get it now." After saying that, he ran away, and after a while he ran over with a stick tied to a sickle.

Qiao Liu hooked with a stick, Qiao Yi picked up with a basket, the two of them picked up a lot after a while, looking at the acacia was enough, Qiao Yi hurriedly called Qiao Liu, and the two took the acacia off and put it in the dustpan to dry, and then they were free to go and see the purse embroidered by Zhang and Qiao Li.

Zhang's and Qiao Li are used to embroidering purses, whether it is flowers, birds, fish and insects or poems and famous sentences, both of them are at ease, there are already ten purses on the bed, plus the three purses made by Qiao Li yesterday, there are already thirteen, Qiao Yimo made an appointment with this petal to dry it for a day today, and dry it overnight at night and put it into the purse early tomorrow morning: "Mother, can you still do ten in the afternoon?" ”

Zhang's concentrate on making a purse, and when he heard Qiao Yi's question, he didn't raise his head and said, "I'm very fast with your eldest sister, and I should be able to do ten in an afternoon." ”

Qiao Yi nodded: "That mother, let's go to the market tomorrow, the petals will be dried for one night and then dried overnight, and they can be put into the purse tomorrow morning, we will do these twenty or so, go to the market to sell first, if the sale is good, we will do more, if it is not good, we will not lose too much." ”

Zhang thought for a while: "Okay, then I'll tell your father to let him go to the market tomorrow." ”

The sun was very big at noon, Qiao Yi, who had eaten lunch, lay on the bed and watched Qiao Li and Zhang's embroidery purse, Qiao Nan went to the school and didn't come back, Qiao Liu went to deliver food to his father, Qiao Yan lay on the bed and remembered the toothbrush randomly, I don't know what to use to make a toothbrush, hey, pig hair doesn't know if it's okay, and Qiao's, she doesn't know what way to deal with her own family......

When Qiao Yi opened her eyes again, the light of the sun was already very soft, and Qiao Cheng's voice seemed to be heard outside, Qiao Yan hurriedly turned over and got out of bed, sure enough, her father had just come back from the field, and Zhang was talking to him about going to the market.

“…… If you go tomorrow, you should take Lao Wang's car from the entrance of the village, and you should go alone earlier, otherwise you will not be able to occupy a good seat. ”

"Daddy, I'm going to go tomorrow" Qiao Yi interrupted Zhang's words, "No, what kind of purse do you sell on the street at a girl's house, and the injury on your head is not healed, just stay at home" Zhang rejected Qiao Yi's proposal.

"No, mother, listen to me, what is she selling at the market this time? Selling purses, not baskets and sweeps, the purses are generally bought by big girls and little daughters-in-law, my father is not embarrassed to sell a big man there? Besides, my dad is not embarrassed, can that person be comfortable? People are embarrassed to come, no matter how good things are, they can't be sold" Qiao Yi gestured with his hands and continued, "It's different if I go, I'm a child, and I'm a girl, other girls and daughters-in-law can ask me, I know these purses, I can answer whatever people ask, my father doesn't know, what if people ask tricky and my father can't answer?" ”

"Alright, alright, if you really want to go, go ahead." Zhang felt funny in his heart: "I won't stop you, but you have to get up very early tomorrow, so don't you can't get up." ”

"Wow, it's so good, Daddy, you are really the best daddy in the world" Qiao Yi shouted happily, while running to Qiao Liu, who was feeding the chickens, and grabbed her arm: "Second sister, I'm going to the market tomorrow, you must remember to call me up early!" ”

"Got it, I'll wake you up earlier" Qiao Liu said that halfway through Qiao Yan's words, Qiao Yi ran to look at the petals, and left Qiao Liu, who had not finished speaking, to the back of his mind.

Zhang and Qiao Cheng both smiled helplessly.

Dusk came soon, Qiao Yi and Qiao Liu quickly moved the petals to the east hut and put them away, and gently closed the door, Qiao Li and Zhang were cooking, Qiao Yi ran to the door to look, Qiao Nan had just come back from school in the distance, Qiao Yan stepped forward and rubbed his little head silently: "Little four, can you understand what Mr. said?" Has anyone bullied you in the school? ”

Qiao Nan nodded obediently and shook his head: "Well, I can understand what Mr. said, and no one in the school bullied me." At the end, he said, "Today the gentleman praised me." ”

"Oh? Our little four are really smart, does the gentleman have any homework? Qiao Yi smiled and pulled Qiao Nan's pigtails tied behind him.

Qiao Nan opened his big round eyes and moved his little nose: "Sir, let me memorize today's lesson, I have already memorized it." ”

"Really, great," Qiao Yi took Qiao Nan's hand and walked slowly into the house: "I'm going to the market with my dad tomorrow, do you have anything you want?" ”

Qiao Nan shook his head: "No, but the third sister, the injury on your head is not completely healed, is it okay to go to the market like this?" ”

"Don't worry, my body I know, I went to pick flowers this morning and nothing happened"

Qiao Nan nodded obediently, Qiao Yan tightened the hand that was holding the smaller one in his hand, this only brother is always so caring, always so well-behaved, soft and glutinous, the hand in his hand is also so small, there is no feeling of flesh at all, Qiao Yan remembered the children he saw in the hospital, which is not the baby of his parents and grandparents, he eats chubby, and a few can only be described as lawless, and this younger brother who walks quietly next to him is distressing.

On such an ordinary evening, the sun was setting, and the light of the dusk sun was so unrealistically sprinkled, but the ten-year-old Qiao Yi led Qiao Nan, who was only eight years old, and walked on such a familiar path with such a short distance from ordinary times, and such a few words on the way made Qiao Yi and Qiao Nan remember it until a long, long time later.
