Mei Xiaotong is too lazy to fight, now the washing level is too backward, all of them are collected from the soaphorn trees in the village, soaked in water and crushed, and then beaten with a stick that specializes in washing clothes, and finally rinsed.

This project is too huge, with Mei Xiaotong's current shape, well, the first step is very difficult, because she can't bend down.

Just don't make a mess and leave it to the professional Xiaoque.

Xiaoque washed the clothes and dried them quickly, and Mei Xiaotong did not forget to explain: "When the clothes are dry, they will be received in my house." ”

Although Xiaoque didn't know what her aunt was going to do, it didn't prevent her from having a heart of filial piety to her aunt, so she didn't agree at all.

Mei Xiaotong went back to the room satisfied, and didn't see Mei Changgui come back until dinner in the evening.

Mei Xiaotong looked out of the door a few times, this fourth brother wouldn't be so scared by himself that he didn't dare to go home.

Mrs. Li saw that the old girl was always looking outside the door, and she saw the lawsuit between the brothers and sisters in the afternoon, and knew that the old girl was worried about the fourth child.

Hurriedly comforted: "Don't wait for him, they are all strong young men, others are so big as him, the baby will climb." Such a big person, can you still lose it? Maybe it's just where the wild man forgets to come back, don't worry about him, just leave him with food. ”

Everyone else was used to it, and Wen took it for granted.

Mei Xiaotong saw that everyone didn't care, so she put her mind at ease.

The countryside is thrifty, and after dinner while the sky is still bright, scrub it clean.

As soon as it was dark, they went back to their respective rooms and went to sleep.

Except for Mrs. Li, the old couple and Mei Xiaotong, as well as the Zhou family, Mei Xiaoque, there is an oil lamp in the room, and the rest of the people do not enjoy this benefit.

Even Zhou's has a little soybean oil every month, and it is gone after ordering, and the special saving is not a last resort, so it is easy not to light the lamp.

The Mei family also has more soybean oil for Mei Xiaotong, and Mrs. Li and Mei Zhongzhong have long been accustomed to sleeping when it is dark and rarely light the lamp, so she and the share of the head of the family are also given to Mei Xiaotong.

However, this soybean oil lamp, for Mei Xiaotong, there is not much difference between lighting it and not lighting it.

Dusk and yellow, everything looks blurry.

Since she came over, she rarely ordered this, preferring to be on the kang, stretching out her hand and looking at the darkness and counting sheep.

Because there was something in her heart, Mei Xiaotong couldn't fall asleep over and over again, until she heard the courtyard door being pushed open, then the familiar footsteps, and then Mei Zhongzhong, who was awake and vigilant, got up and asked who it was?

Mei Changgui replied in a low voice, and then there was a voice of knowing Suosuo, Mei Xiaotong relieved her heart and fell into her dream.

When I woke up, it was very bright.

When I went out, Mei Changgui was still dying on the kang yesterday, and today he was already chopping firewood in the yard.

Seeing Mei Xiaotong come out, he smiled.

The idea in Mei Xiaotong's heart was depressed, and she was laughed out of laughter all of a sudden.

Mei Changgui saw that the little sister woke up with a calm face, and seemed to have no intention of pursuing herself, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and worked hard to chop firewood.

He didn't dare to say, after he ran out yesterday, there was nowhere to go, and he met An Huahao again, and the two discussed the details of going up the mountain the day after tomorrow, and then somehow driped, he was persuaded by An Huahao, and the two went to the field to dig a few sweet potatoes, and there was a piece of bacon brought by An Huahao, and they had dinner before parting ways.

But halfway through, taking advantage of the night, he folded next to Li Jinzhi's house, climbed the big tree, and looked at the courtyard of the Li family, Li Jinzhi's house was stunned for a long time, until he was soaked with dew, and the night wind blew, and it was cold from the inside to the outside, so that he came back to his senses.

Finally, after taking another look at the Li family, he turned over and got off the tree, strode away, and never looked back.

When he got home, he felt that he had removed the stone that had pressed on his heart and had a good night's sleep.

When I got up in the morning and saw my little sister, I didn't know why I felt empty.

How did Mei Xiaotong know that Mei Changgui had such a play last night, so naturally she couldn't guess Mei Changgui's thoughts at the moment.

I saw that he was weak-hearted, thinking that he had figured it out because of yesterday's events, and he was embarrassed to see himself.

Therefore, he said unceremoniously: "Fourth brother, I think I have learned almost all the needlework, and it must be no problem to sew and mend a piece of clothing, after you ran out yesterday, I saw that there were two torn pants in your house, I asked Xiaoque to wash it for you, and I will receive it in my house in a while, and I will make it up for you." ”

It stands to reason that this is the first time to sew and mend clothes, you have to honor your father and mother first, but isn't this not very confident in your craft, first take the fourth brother's clothes to practice your hands, dismantle them a few more times, and think about it.

Mei Changgui's face was bitter, remembering that yesterday the girl sewed the cloth onto her skirt, and then thought about it, if the cloth was sewn on her pants and went out, the wind blew, and the two pieces of cloth behind the buttocks swayed in the wind, and he trembled all over the picture.

It was difficult to squeeze out a smiling face: "Little sister, I'm bothering you, in fact, my brother's pants are just hung up with a few small openings, there is no need to mend them, so as not to waste needles and threads-"

"Fourth brother, do you believe in my craftsmanship? Yesterday you praised me. ”

"No, I absolutely believe in you! Take it, are two pants enough? It's not enough, brother still has a few tops here-" Mei Changgui was very eager to survive, and quickly changed his position, and contributed all his clothes very doggedly.

Mei Xiaotong nodded with satisfaction.

After breakfast, before Wen went to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, he took Xiao Duo out of the house, this child is very sensible, every day Wen has no time to take him, put him in the yard, just silently pull the grass to play, put it in the house, and do not cry or make trouble.

Occasionally, I went to the stove house and helped Wen drag two firewoods.

Because he is too quiet and sensible, his family generally doesn't pay much attention to him.

Xiao Xiaoduo is also very eye-catching, it is estimated that Mei Xiaotong was not invited to see him before, even if Mei Xiaotong hugged him and rubbed his hair last time, the aunt and nephew were very affectionate, but they were taught by the Wen family not to provoke anyone in the family, especially the old aunt.

Although the little guy is small, he also knows that the current old aunt is kind to him, but he wants to listen or not listen, and his mother recites the scriptures.

But Wen coaxed him, saying that since his aunt was good to him, now that his aunt was busy, the good child naturally couldn't disturb his aunt.

Xiao Xiaoduo took this to heart, plus the Mei family does have a lot of things to do these days, and everyone doesn't care about him.

The little guy is really afraid of disturbing the old aunt, and the child is forgetful, so he will slowly forget.

generally doesn't lean on Mei Xiaotong's side.

Mei Xiaotong saw that the sky was not bad, so she took out the chair and sewing basket from the house, and took out the dried pants.

I saw that Xiao Xiaoduo just caught a worm in the yard, grabbed it with her little hands, and walked towards the chicken nest with her feet, throwing the insect into the chicken nest.

Watching a group of chickens beat the chicken feathers to the ground in order to grab the bug, the little guy was still slapping and laughing.

It wasn't until the leading rooster grabbed the worms and led a group of hens to pounce on Xiao Xiaoduo that the little guy was frightened, and he didn't cry, so he turned around and ran away.

People have short calves, where can they outrun the rooster, and the little ass is about to be pecked by the rooster.

With one hand, he scooped up Xiao Xiaoduo from the side, and then picked up the bamboo pole put aside with the other hand, and drove the chickens away with three or two clicks.

After Mei Xiaotong finished chasing the chicken, she looked down at Xiao Xiaoduo who was holding her like a briefcase, the little guy was not afraid at all, and looked at herself with a pair of black and bright eyes.

It took a long time to squeeze out a smiling face, stretch out his arms, and put his arms around Mei Xiaotong's neck-

Well, my hands were too short, my neck was too thick, I didn't hold it, but I almost didn't fall.

Mei Xiaotong hurriedly fixed the little guy, and couldn't help but pat Xiao Xiaoduo's buttocks: "Be honest, be careful of falling." ”

Xiao Xiaoduo giggled, leaned over affectionately, rubbed Mei Xiaotong's face with her face, and called out clearly: "Auntie! ”

Mei Xiaotong's heart melted all of a sudden, and he couldn't help hugging the little guy, kissed him on the face, put him on the chair, and let him sit down.

Xiao Duo sat on the chair obediently, kicked her short legs, and looked at Mei Xiaotong with blank eyes.

Mei Xiaotong went back to the house and searched in the cabinet for a long time, found a piece of maltose that Mei Xiaotong hadn't eaten before, took it out, and handed it to Xiao Duo: "Eat it." ”

"Thank you, auntie!" Although Xiao Duo is small, in this detail, she was educated well by Wen's, and she thanked her first before taking the sugar.

At first, he didn't put it in his mouth, but handed it to Mei Xiaotong's mouth: "Aunt eat-"

Hey, Mei Xiaotong's heart is about to melt, and she can't help but rub the pigtail tied on Xiao Duo's head: "My aunt wants to lose weight, don't eat, Xiao Duo eat." ”

Xiao Duo ran to the stove house again, found Wen's, and wanted to give Wen's food.

Wen's family has been here these days, because the family is rich, and Mei Xiaotong secretly persuaded Mrs. Li to not really let Wen's hunger come out, what should I do with three children in three rooms?

Mrs. Li, if Mei Xiaotong persuaded her to be nice to her two daughters-in-law, she would never hear it.

But listening to the analysis of the old girl, I was moved.

What's more, Wen's is not a eater of rice, she does all the housework at home, and she cleans it up, if she is really hungry and lies there and can't move, Zhou's is not as easy as Wen's call, so wouldn't it be that things are going to fall on you?

Since the Zhou family started, and later the Wen family also married in, Mrs. Li rarely worked, if she wanted to go back to the previous days to get up early and be greedy for darkness, and then the family ate and drank, she was also unwilling.

Can't be a big loss because of a small loss, put an extra scoop of water every day, give Wen's a bowl of porridge, the Mei family now, can't really starve their daughter-in-law to death, the fourth child hasn't married a daughter-in-law yet, and the reputation can't be bad.

Therefore, these days, Wen's can be half-full at every meal, which is already good, and his complexion is much better than at the beginning.

Wen was grateful, and he worked harder and harder to do things.

It made Mrs. Li believe more and more in the old girl, this old girl is better than herself as soon as she opens her mind.

Therefore, Wen only told his youngest son to thank his sister-in-law, and naturally he would not eat his son's rare piece of candy.

In the countryside, plus the third room is not valued, she has no money in her hands, where will she buy snacks for her children, and sugar is even more luxurious in the countryside.

Xiao Duo is still young after all, and she can resist the desire to eat sugar, so she asked her aunt and mother first, but she didn't eat it, so she happily put the sugar in her mouth.

The sweet taste made Xiao Duo's happy little eyes narrow.

Mei Xiaotong was inevitably nervous because of the first time she mended her clothes, and she was also very nervous, she was engrossed, and she didn't separate her mind at all, until she finally repaired a gap on Mei Changgui's pants, only to find that a layer of fine sweat appeared on her forehead.

I wanted to reach out and wipe it, but I remembered what Wen said, as long as you hold the needle and thread in your hand, you must not be stained with sweat, and it shrank back.

A soft little hand next to him came up and wiped Mei Xiaotong's face with his sleeve.

It's Xiaoduo, because Wen's loves to be clean, the children are also clean, and there is a smell of sunshine on the clothes.

Mei Xiaotong also closed her eyes and let Xiao Duo move on her face.

The child doesn't know the weight of his hands and feet, plus Xiao Duo is only two years old, she is small, Mei Xiaotong is fat, and in order to cooperate with Xiao Duo, she has to lower her head.

After wiping off the sweat, both of them were too tired.

Mei Xiaotong finished enjoying the intimate service of her little nephew, and stuffed the little guy into the chair and sat down.

Only then did he look at the finished pants in his hand, turned them over and over again, and fortunately, they were not sewn together with his skirt.

If you look closely, the stitches are quite fine, although they are not neat, and the wiring is crooked, like a centipede lying on the pants, but the hole is sewn up.

Mei Xiaotong is very satisfied.
