Chapter 22 Make new clothes
"But how long have you been waiting?" Zisu touched his brother's head.
"It didn't take long for my aunt to say that my sister was probably coming back soon, so I just came, and I sat on this stone pier." Zikang said happily.
"Well, let's go, let's go home, today my sister sold the money and bought white rice and noodles." Zisu said about his harvest.
"White rice, isn't that expensive, sister? Let's just eat coarse rice or sorghum rice, let's save some money, I don't want my sister to work too hard. Xiao Zikang's good-looking eyebrows were tangled.
"It's not very hard, these white rice are enough for us to eat for a few days, you are growing your body, you should make up more, now I don't know if there are any chickens to sell, I also want to raise two chickens." Zisu thought that it would be good to give his little brother an egg every day.
"Okay, I'll feed the chicks when the time comes, and I'll catch earthworms for the chicks to eat." Zikang likes Aunt Niu's hens very much, and often helps catch insects and earthworms to eat.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you then." Zisu took his brother's hand and went home.
The westward slanting sunlight stretched the shadows of the sisters and brothers for a long time, and Xiao Zikang muttered to Zisu about what happened today, as small as Aunt Niu's hen laying a super-large egg and so on.
Zisu listened carefully, and asked a few words from time to time, Zisu enjoyed such a peaceful life very much.
In the evening, Zisu stewed white rice, cut the pickle gnocchi sent by Aunt Niu, mixed it with chili peppers, cut a small strip of pork belly, and fried Zikangcai's tender bracken.
For such a meal, Xiao Zikang had never been so happy in the previous New Year, and his small stomach was round.
"Eat it, huh?" Zisu looked at Xiao Zikang, who was holding his stomach, and laughed, this kid had never eaten anything good, and a bowl of rice made him so satisfied.
"Well, however, I can still eat half a bowl, keep the amount, if I eat too much and have diarrhea, it won't be a big loss, my sister finally bought it back." Xiao Zikang patted his small chest and said.
"You kid, okay, let's go to Aunt Niu's house, I bought fabrics, and let Aunt Niu make new clothes for us, okay?" Zisu said.
"It's nice to have new clothes, sister, I haven't made new clothes in years." Because of that unreliable mother, some good things in the family were also moved to her parents' house, and Xiao Zikang's sisters and brothers have indeed not made new clothes for two years.
"The dark blue one is for you, the black one is mine, and the red one is for Aunt Niu, what do you think? The piece of broken flowers is for Lian'er. Zisu took out the fabric and showed it to his brother.
"Well, but this floral one looks good for my sister, how can I wear black." Zikang frowned.
"My sister likes it, and besides, my father and grandmother have just passed away, and we are still in the filial piety period." Zisu said.
"Well, sister, I remember, it's just that my sister must look better than Sister Lian'er in this." In Xiao Zikang's eyes, his sister is the best-looking.
"Sister likes black, let's go, by the way, take the plate oil and pork belly too, and let Aunt Niu make dumplings for us tomorrow, do you like it?" Zisu said softly.
In his previous life, Zisu didn't know what gentleness was and what family affection was, so when he was very young, he hid in the corner and watched, and other children were coquettish with their parents.
The larger ones were brought to the Order, and some of them only had cold training, either you die or I die, when she came out of the primeval forest alone, carrying a hundred and forty-nine nameplates of her killed companions.
From that time on, she didn't know what tenderness and tenderness were. God still treats her well, what she didn't have in her previous life, she finally has it in this life.
Not only has a family, but also a younger brother, but also the care of the whole village, men, women and children, she wants to use all her abilities to protect this hard-won warmth.
"Sister, let's go, let's go, what are you still doing in a daze, auntie, they've finished eating, let's go quickly, I still have to find Brother Akiyama, Brother Akiyama promised me to make me a small slingshot." Xiao Zikang saw that his sister didn't leave, and hurriedly greeted him.
"Well, come on." Zisu followed behind his brother with his things.
