"Harvest the wheat." Du Mei tested the blade of the scythe with his fingers.

"Plums, at this moment, the wheat is all tender pulp!" Xu looked uncertain.

"I know." Du Mei buried his head and continued to grind.

"You ......," Xu couldn't go on, the grain in the barn was there, either starving the ducks for ten days or cutting the wheat in advance, both of which were unacceptable.

The duck will not die for ten days without food, but I am afraid it will be difficult to grow again in the future, the wheat is cut so early, the wheat kernel has not yet been hard, it is just a bubble of sweet pulp, but it is always grain, much better than pigweed and wild vegetables.

The three little ones, holding the door frame, looked at the mother, and then looked at the eldest sister, listening to the constant call of the ducks, they were also bitter.

Du Mei had tears in his eyes, but he stubbornly didn't let it fall, but only accelerated the sharpening speed.

"Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, are you at home?" Before the Fang clan arrived, the voice came in a hurry.

"Yes, yes." Xu turned around and wiped his face with his sleeve and went to open the courtyard door.

"Hey, Meizi, what are you going to do sharpening your knife now?" Fang Shi entered the courtyard, saw Du Mei on his back, and asked suspiciously.

"Hey, isn't there no duck to eat, Meizi plans to cut some wheat and feed it." Xu muttered.

"What a success! In less than ten days, this wheat is fully ripe, and it is a pity to cut it now! Fang clapped his hands.

"I know too, but the ducks can't wait." Xu moved a stool for Fang to sit on.

"How far are you? Come to my house and get some coping with it first. Fang Shi didn't know the details, and said generously.

"Ten days, at least five hundred catties." Du Mei whispered.

"Ahh Five hundred pounds? Fang Shi Zhi suspected that his ears had misheard.

"Hmm." Xu nodded silently.

"At this time, no one can take out so much surplus food at once." Fang sighed.

"Yes, at this time, everyone tightened their belts, and waited for the wheat in the field to be harvested, ground into flour and put in the pot. If there is surplus food, it will be taken out and eaten early, and it will be robbed soon, and only when it is full can it have the strength to work. Xu waved his hand helplessly.

"Plum, don't cut the wheat, you have wasted this season's labor. Although I don't have 500 catties at home, I always have more than 100 catties. Your Uncle Suo does carpentry work outside and doesn't eat at home. Save a little, bring all of them, and it will help you for a few more days. Fang sincerely persuaded Du Mei.

"Aunt Fang, thank you. Seeing that the summer grain harvest is about to be made, Uncle Suo always has to come back to do farm work, and he can't let him be bitter and tired, and drink batter! Dume shook her head.

"You kid is stubborn! Hey, if you can borrow some more from your grandma, a few families can get together, and eighty percent of them can get through. Fang Shi glanced at the other side of the wall.

"Forget it, Grandma won't trouble us, I'll burn high incense. How can you find the door, dislike her, and scold her. Du Mei smiled bitterly.

"Sister Fang, what's the matter with you?" Xu Shi had the intention to divert the topic, and when he saw that she was empty-handed, he asked.

"Oh, look at my memory!" Fang slapped his leg in annoyance.

"I'm going to pick up my mother-in-law in the town today, and I saw that Yunshang Embroidery Village is recruiting embroidery girls!" Fang's face was yearning.

"Oh, what's so strange about that? But every big embroidery village must have a few embroidery girls. "Xu brought a needlework basket.

"How strange! I heard that it is the four plum blossom pictures painted by the big leaf shopkeeper, and a four-leaf screen is to be embroidered! "Fang helped sort out the silk thread.

"The screen is a large piece, and it is not easy to embroider with a picture, so it is better to embroider freely." Xu put the silk thread on Fang's wrist, held the thread in the palm of his hand, and wound it finely.

"No, I heard that this screen was customized by a large family in Gangneung City, and a special embroidery method was made. Therefore, the embroidery girl must first embroider a pattern, which is in line with your heart. Fang's two hands swung with the silk thread, making the slippery silk thread wrap up more smoothly.

"What's the embroidery?" Xu Shi chatted with her without a partner, and he didn't take it to heart.

"It's a butterfly love tweed." Fang Shi burst out laughing, and she remembered that Xu Shi was the best at embroidering this.

"Why didn't you try it, you're not bad at embroidery." Xu also laughed.

"Forget it, as far as my three-legged cat is concerned, I will trouble you to embroider a happy quilt. It's the second sister-in-law, you can really try it. No, I'll tell you as soon as I get back! Fang said with a look of anticipation.

"The screen is too big, I don't have that time." Xu shook his head.

The two women chatted casually, but Du Mei listened word for word.

"If you embroider a large piece like a screen, will you give a deposit?" Du Mei stopped sharpening his knife and thought.

"If you take the embroidery work and get the deposit, then the duck's food will be settled, and the wheat will not have to be cut so early." Thinking of this, Du Mei put down his scythe.

"Aunt Fang, embroidery village recruits embroidery girl, when is the deadline?" Du Mei asked with burning eyes.

"Today is the last day!" Fang Shi turned his eyes to look at Du Mei.

"Mother, I'll take a look!" Du Mei turned around and was about to go out.

"We didn't ......, wait, change our clothes, and pick up the next one." Xu wanted to stop it, but after thinking about it, what is her daughter going to do, how long can she stop it?

"Whoa." In front of the Fang clan, Du Mei was a little embarrassed.

Du Mei changed into a new skirt, she was afraid that she would not have time, so she took a few dolls she embroidered for her brother as embroidery, put them in a basket, and rushed to the town.

These dolls were the last time she had seen the girl in her room. She woke up and played with her younger siblings as in her dream, the three little ones, who just started to be babies, and it was common to play for a long time. Only juniper never gets tired of playing.

The red carpet in front of Yunshang Embroidery Village is paved, and a large platform is covered with red silk cloth, which is very festive. The big girls and little daughters-in-law in ten miles and eight towns, but everyone who can embroider live, come to see the excitement, and the platform is surrounded by water.

Even if you can't take on this big job, it's good to see other people's embroidery foremen and feast your eyes, and you can know where to ask for advice in the future.

In front of the stage, two young women were flying needles and threads, Xu was nervous, and her sideburns were sweating.

"Excuse me, are you still recruiting embroidery girls now?" Du Mei finally separated everyone and squeezed to the front of the stage to ask.

"Now......" A young shopkeeper frowned slightly, glanced at the hourglass, and it was already noon.

Du Mei's heart suddenly lifted, and he wouldn't miss the time.

"Recruit, recruit, Sister Meizi." Ye Qing didn't know where to come from, and said to her with a grin.

"So am I embroidering now, or am I looking at what I used to embroider?" Du Mei was just sweating from the young man's surprise, and after listening to Ye Qing's words, his heart was more settled.

When the young shopkeeper heard Meizi's name, his face changed imperceptibly.

"Let's just look at the old embroidery." Xu was the one Ye Qing was waiting for, Du Mei came, how could there be any reason for her to embroider on the spot.

Du May uncovered the coarse cloth from the basket, revealing the embroidery.

Her embroidery is not a fan purse, nor a silk handkerchief fan, but a colorful doll.

"Wow! What is it? The onlookers let out an exclamation.

Ye Qing also saw this rare thing for the first time, and he took out one from the basket as if it was alive and could stand

of multicolored birds. The pointed red mouth, the round black eyes, and the black pair of three toes are all vividly embroidered.

In particular, the pair of wings are densely embroidered with multicolored silk threads, and the lines of each feather are as if they are real. Ye Qing turned the cloth bird around, the sun flashed, and the feathers embroidered with silk threads instantly reflected the light.

This cloth bird is exquisitely embroidered, and what is even more rare is that this bird is as real as it is. The head, neck, and abdomen are full.

This piece of embroidery, not to mention in this Sheshan Town, even in the most prosperous embroidery village in Jiangling City, has never been seen.

On the market, most of the two pieces of embroidered cloth are simply combined in one place, flattened. How can it be compared with Du Mei's lifelike one!

"What's in there?" Ye Qing pinched it, and it was slippery inside.

"It's Pu Rong. It's an old pampas flower. "Du Mei is afraid that Ye Qing is in business and has never seen anything in the countryside.

"I know, I still have a pair of plush pillows at home, which are fragrant and warm." Ye Qing brought the colorful bird to the tip of his nose and smelled it, and there was a burst of fragrance.

"I'm playing with my brother, it's light and soft." Du Mei saw that Ye Qing knew, so he said with a smile.

"It's really hard to be a sister here." The woman next to her said approvingly.

"So what?" The young shopkeeper is Ye Qing's elder brother Ye Dan, he stared at a doll in the basket and asked.

"It's a fire fox, and I named it a fire fox." Du Mei smiled and grabbed the doll in his hand.

This one is also round and full, with a red body and a white face. The body is small, but the head is very large, with big eyes, a small nose, a smile, and two big ears on the head, which attracts pity.

"Mother, I want to play this." A little boy bites his fingers and stares blankly.

"I want it too." Another girl with pigtails rushed to say.

Such a novelty, not to mention children, adults want to touch it. Ye Qing took the civet and played with it in his hand, making a rustling sound.

"Isn't this Pu Rong?" Ye Qing asked suspiciously.

"This is the leftover husk of the rice." Du Mei hurriedly explained.

"Hehe, what is really in your hands can turn decay into magic." Ye Qing gave a thumbs up.

"Then my embroiderer, is it considered to be a pass?" Du Mei asked with a smile.

"Count, count, of course!" Ye Qing nodded again and again.

"It's not fair!" The two women who had been embroidering beside the table for a long time said unwillingly.

Just now, only the two of them dared to come up to compete, in the blink of an eye, they hadn't won a victory, but they were robbed of the limelight by this girl with rags and rice husks, and now they want to bypass them and take the job directly. Whoever is left behind, his heart is not happy.

"Look, this embroiderer can you compare?" Ye Qing's heart had already been biased towards Du Mei, and he had no good words for those two women.

"She brought it, who embroidered it, not necessarily!" A woman snorted.

"I embroidered it, and I have a lot of other things in my house." Seeing that others didn't believe it, Du Mei hurriedly explained.

"It's a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk, don't just talk about it!" The other woman pursed her lips disdainfully.

"Okay, it's just that I'm going to have to wait for everyone." Du Mei smiled apologetically.

"Are you okay?" Ye Qing whispered apprehensively.

He went to Dujiagou to collect embroidery, all of which were handed over to the Xu family, and rarely met Du Mei. He didn't know if Du Mei could embroider, and if the embroidery could be half as good as Xu's.

In front of everyone, how can he protect her and give her this embroidery to take back? 2k reading web
