Chapter 039: Waiting to Jump
Xie Yinan sat down again and finished finishing the work of the bracelet.
Holding his breath and concentrating, and because the lighting tools of this era were not developed, with the slightly dim oil lamp, Xie Yinan had to put his hand to his eyes again and again, so that he could see the things in his hand clearly.
In this way, it was a burden on her eyes, and it didn't take long for her to feel that her eyes were a little sour, and the smell of the oil lamp when it burned made people can't help but rub their noses.
Xie Yinan quickly became a little tired, stopped the movements on his hands, reached out and rubbed his eyes again, felt a little relieved, and continued to work.
After going through this several times, the bracelet in my hand finally tied the knot.
Okay, it's finally done.
You can sell it at the market tomorrow.
Xie Yinan stretched his waist, rubbed his arm that was a little sore because he had been propped up on the table, and then went to the corner of the door to get it, and found a handful of whole dried wormwood.
Lighting the oil lamp, taking the slightly burning and smoking wormwood, he went to all corners of the house, especially at the foot of the bed and in the corners of the walls, so as to get rid of all the annoying mosquitoes.
Here, Song Leshan was in the stove room, adding firewood to the stove.
The hot water in the cauldron is already slightly steaming, and if it is hotter, add a little cold water, and it will be enough.
Song Leshan looked at the temperature of the water in the pot and added another piece of firewood to the stove.
"Second brother, do you want to boil water?" Song Yulan walked in with a probe and was overjoyed when she saw Song Leshan boiling water here: "Great, second brother, you can burn a little more, I want to take a bath." ”
"Oh, yes." Song Leshan didn't raise his head: "You wait a while, it's fine for a while." ”
Song Yulan was so shocked that her jaw almost didn't fall to the ground, and she stayed where she was for a long time before reaching over, touching Song Leshan's forehead, and muttering to herself: "There is no fever." ”
"What nonsense?" Song Leshan pulled Song Yulan's hand away: "Your second brother is so dignified, where can you get hot?" ”
"Then that's even more wrong." Song Yulan hugged her arms to her chest: "Usually, if I call the second brother to help me boil water, I will definitely be told by you, why don't you have long hands, what is such a big person, I don't know how to do some work by myself?" And so on, but the second brother agreed so simply today, can it not make me feel frightened? ”
"Is there one?" Song Leshan was slightly stunned, but he never raised his head.
"Of course." Song Yulan's hand rubbed on her chin for a long time: "Second brother, you shouldn't have something on your mind." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, what can I do." Song Leshan hurriedly defended, but this head was getting lower and more ruthless.
Song Leshan usually talks to her, and he always wants to roll his eyes to the sky and give her a few more white eyes, but now he doesn't even look at her.
It's like he's hiding something.
Song Yulan became more and more convinced that this Song Leshan must have something on his mind.
"Second brother, you just have to be honest." Song Yulan asked with a serious face.
Song Leshan raised his head suddenly, and when he saw Song Yulan's tense face, he only waved his hand again and again: "Where is there anything on your mind, what nonsense, if you want bath water, hurry up and wait, otherwise you will burn it yourself later." ”
"It's just thinking about when I'm going to go into the mountains and see how many days I'll stay at home. What can I think about? ”
"That's right." Song Yulan scratched her ears: "What did I just do at that time, the second brother doesn't have to go into the mountain every year, what is there to calculate?" ”
"Of course, I go into the mountain every year, I don't have anything to think about, it's just ......" Song Leshan wanted to speak and stopped, and only waved his hand at Song Yulan: "Anyway, there is still some time, let's talk about it then." ”
"You hurry up and get the basin, the water is all right, and it will be cold again later." Song Leshan urged Song Yulan to say.
"Okay." Seeing that Song Leshan seemed to have suppressed his thoughts, Song Yulan went to get the basin.
Song Leshan took a scoop and scooped out the hot water in the pot.
They took a bath and rested without going into details.
The next day, Xie Yinan, Song Leshan and Song Yulan got up early, prepared the things that should arrive, and went to the town to catch the market.
Cao also got up early and prepared what he wanted to bring to sell.
Eggs, straw sandals, and a few low wooden chairs with backrests were made by Song Chengyou and Song Leshun these days when they didn't live much in the field.
There are a lot of things, and two bamboo baskets are packed.
One bamboo basket was filled with eggs, and straw sandals hung on the outside, and the other was a wooden shelf for carrying things, and the thick hemp rope was passed through the chair and tied to it.
"Mother, this chair looks a lot, but it's actually not sinking, just put it on this bamboo basket, you don't have to make two, it's troublesome."
If you make two back baskets, you will naturally have to have two people to carry them, according to Cao's temperament, Song Yulan will definitely not be allowed to carry it, but let Xie Yinan carry it.
"The chair is so heavy that it doesn't crush the egg when it is pressed against it? Even if this thing is not sinking, it can be tied up and occupy such a large place, and it is not like you to carry it on your back, and you are afraid that you will not be able to walk steadily. ”
"Originally, I planned to let your eldest brother go to the town with you to see if I could pick up some work by the way, but your father and your eldest brother are going to Liu Yuanwai's house today to settle their wages, it seems that Liu Yuanwai also wants to make some more cages or something, and your eldest brother will not be empty, so he can only work hard for you."
As Cao spoke, he sent the one with the chair to Song Leshan's body, and then carried the bamboo basket with the remaining eggs: "This one is not sinking, just ......."
As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Xie Yinan.
Since her son and daughter are both protected, she can't quarrel or scold, and it's not easy to open her mouth to assign work, so let this Xie Yinan take the initiative to work.
She is now a good mother-in-law, whether Xie Yinan opens her mouth to refuse or pretends to be deaf and dumb, then her usual low eyebrows are pleasing to the eyes, and her harmony and harmony are all pretended, she is simply a person who only knows how to speak well and obediently on the face, but in essence, she likes to be lazy and slippery.
In this way, Song Leshan and Song Yulan will definitely recognize her true colors, and they will not be deceived by this bad woman in the future.
And if Xie Yinan responds to this matter and starts working, it will just fall into her trap, and in the future, Xie Yinan will suffer like this, and there will be no estrangement between her and her children.
The Cao family's pit was dug to the fullest, just waiting for Xie Yinan to jump inside.
But before everyone could react, Song Leshan here tied the chairs together with hemp ropes, like a blanket, two on one side, tied to the edge of the bamboo basket, and then reached out and carried the basket on his back.
