[Please keep in mind the domain name of this site " ", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] Ruixue who finally lay in bed. A long sigh of relief. She's been in a position these days, and there's no way to lie flat on her back. When I was lying on the bed and relaxing my whole body, an indescribable comfort went straight down from head to toe.

It was as if something was surging in the body, dredged the whole body.

Lay quietly for a while. Ruixue got up again and knelt down facing the window. Put your hands together and pray sincerely, praying that your father will see you soon.

Will Dad be the same as himself, with no food to eat and no place to sleep? Will you meet a good Samaritan? Will he wait for him at the pharmacy he thought he had?

Oh my God! O Buddha! Please, let me get together with my father! I beg you!

Ruixue silently recited it three times in her heart, and then she put down her hand and lay down peacefully.

The summer morning came very early, and the groggy Ruixue woke up to the sound of chickens in the yard. She rubbed her eyes, and wanted to sleep again, when she suddenly remembered that she was living in someone else's house.

She tried to sit up, but found that her whole body was sore and uncomfortable, her back was sore, and her legs were like lead.

Struggling to get out of bed, he quickly put on his clothes.

The first step is always so hard. The calves are sore, and the thighs are stiff. When I went down the stairs, I could barely stand up.

Ruixue slowly moved her legs. Fortunately, there are only two orders, if there are too many, her calves will really not be able to stand it. Walking around the yard, I pinched my legs with my hands, hoping to be more comfortable.

Gong yawned and pushed the door out.

"Why are you up?"

Although Gong Shi got up, he still looked sleepy-eyed, yawned a little indecently, and when he saw Ruixue, he covered his mouth embarrassedly.

Ruixue smiled, walked into the kitchen, sat down by the stove, and helped light the fire.

Gong handed her a wooden basin: "Don't be busy. You go and wash your face. It's still early. ”

Ruixue stood by the well and washed her face, watching Gong feed the chickens and water the grapes in the yard.

Gong reached into the chicken coop and found three eggs.

Ruixue ran to see it with some surprise. She had never seen the eggs laid first, and the first time she saw them, she naturally felt that everything was unusual. She curiously touched the egg in Gong's hand, it was still hot!

She took the egg from Gong's hand, and the skirt rolled up, and watched in wonder as the egg rolled around in her skirt. It's a lot of fun.

Seeing her like this, Gong Shi said loudly: "Be careful, don't fight." I still keep it for cooking at night! ”

"This can hatch chicks?"

"No, I can't. You have to have a rooster on your back. ”

"Rooster stomping on the back? Why? ”

When Gong heard her ask, he didn't know how to explain it to her, so he took an egg and pointed it to the sun and told her: "If you can see this black spot here, it is the one who has been trampled on the back by the rooster to hatch the chicks." ”

Ruixue stared at the sun. I just don't understand, how can there be a black spot under the hen that the rooster has stepped on the back.

"Okay, don't think about it anymore. I'll make a cold tao for you to eat. ”

"Can I eat cold tao now? Isn't it just eaten on the Cold Food Festival? ”

Gong Shi dug up the flour and made peace with the water: "It's not so particular, isn't it comfortable to eat cold Tao on a hot day?" ”

Thinking of the coolness of the mouth, Rui Xue felt comfortable all over her body, and she nodded: "Yes." ”

She stood on the edge of the desk and watched Gong roll out the noodles, a large piece of dough was thinner and thinner, and then folded again, and its knife was thinly cut, shaking on the board.

"Can you peel some garlic for me?" Call me when the water boils. I'm going to call the head of the house. ”

Gong took off his apron, washed his hands, and hurried out.

Ruixue found the garlic and stood on the side and peeled it while looking at the water. She didn't dare to sit down, her legs were so sore that it was extremely difficult for her to sit down, and it seemed that such a simple action would take countless efforts now.

Peeling garlic is an easy job, or it can be said to be an easy job. Especially in summer, the garlic cloves are dried in the sun, and the skin is all dried and scattered as soon as you peel it. The new garlic that comes out in the spring is not so easy, and it is quite troublesome to peel.

A dozen garlic crumbs were peeled and watered. Flattened on the board, Ruixue searched the kitchen and didn't see a cup, so she took a rolling pin, put the flattened calculation into a bowl and knocked it into garlic paste a little bit.

With these in mind, she thought back to the ingredients her father had prepared when he was making cold tao. Bean sprouts, cucumbers, sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, green onions, a little sugar and dried chili powder.

Unfortunately, there are not so many things here, just shred the cucumbers.

Looking at the noodles spread out on the board, she really wanted to take the noodles down by herself and make cold noodles herself, but this was at someone else's house, so she had to suppress her interest.

Ruixue was bored fiddling with the firewood in the stove, thinking about her father's action of making cold noodles. I thought in my heart that when Gong came, I would definitely ask her to ask her to make it once, and she would eat it herself.

The door of Yuan's house was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and the person who came hurriedly entered the kitchen, opened the water tank, scooped up the water, and sent it to his mouth: "Second sister-in-law, what do you eat in the morning?" The eldest brother was too uninteresting yesterday, and he didn't take my place on temporary duty. I'm sleepy, get me something to eat, eat and sleep. ”

When the man put down the scoop, he saw that it was not Gong who was standing in front of him. He looked at Ruixue who was standing in front of him in surprise, stretched out his finger, and rubbed his eyes again.

He didn't quite believe what he was seeing, and gave himself a few more faces, and pinched his thigh, until he cried out in pain from his own pinching. Only then did I really realize that all this in front of me was not dazzling because I was too sleepy.

Ruixue couldn't help but laugh when she looked at him like that.

Being laughed at by Rui Xue, the man suddenly felt embarrassed and fled out of the kitchen as if fleeing for his life.

Gong heard Ruixue's laughter in the room. opened the door and came out, looked at the people who escaped, and asked Ruixue with a smile: "What are you so happy about?" ”

"That guy just treated me like a sister-in-law. Later, when I saw that it was not, I thought I was dazzled. Is he the third uncle of his sister-in-law? Ruixue couldn't help but laugh and explained. But just like that, she still has a smile on her face that can't be hidden, her eyes are crooked, and the whole person looks bright.

Gong Shi looked at it for a while, forgetting that she was talking about the third uncle's embarrassment with herself, and muttered: "It's so beautiful! ”

"Sister-in-law, what did you say?"

Gong waved his hand: "Nothing?" Is the water boiling? Open it on the bottom. Gong put on an apron and saw that Ruixue had prepared all the condiments, and the cucumber shreds were also cut very finely, and praised, "Sure enough, it's the cook's daughter, and the preparation is so proper." ”

Rui Xue followed and put Leng Tao in, and Yuan's mother was talking to Yuan Laosan and Yuan Sen, and stopped when she saw them coming in. Yuan's mother just said to Gong: "How do you ask guests to do things?" He beckoned Ruixue to sit down.

Yuan Lin and Yuan Sen didn't care about anything else, they moved their chopsticks first. One of them had to hurry to the barracks to answer the ceremony, and the other had to hurry up and sleep, and both of them ate quickly, put aside the dishes and went to their own work.

Yuan's mother went out to buy vegetables, and Ruixue helped Gong's laundry and drying clothes. After the incident, she was still wondering if she should go out to the infirmary to investigate, but she saw Gong sitting in her room, doing something in front of a strange thing.

"What is this?" She wanted to ask yesterday.

Rows of lines are neatly arranged on a wooden shelf, and Gong holds a shuttle in one hand and carries a movable shelf with the other.

Gong said with a smile while doing things: "You don't recognize this? This is the loom. ”

"That's what we wear every day?" Ruixue reached out and stroked the already finished fabric. Softly, it was the cotton she wore most often, and it turned out to be like this, "You are so capable!" ”

Gong said disapprehantly: "What is this." My mother's family is from Songjiang Prefecture, and both men and women weave cloth. We are all kao weaving cloth and selling cloth to make a living. ”

"Don't farm?"

Gong smiled: "Of course I don't farm. Farming does not dare to delay work all year round, but also depends on the eyes of God, and the season is not good. As soon as I put this piece of cloth on the shelf, I can sell it for 300 yuan, and if it is skillful, there are also millions of people who have made a fortune. ”

"So much?"

"Of course. Our small door is naturally small, and there are naturally few things. There is a rich man surnamed Shi in my mother's family, who started by raising a few baskets of silkworms. Women winding silk, men weaving, more than ten years of work, there are more than thirty or forty silk machines at home. The family is so rich now that they have nothing to say. Although Gong was talking to Rui Xue, the work in her hands was not delayed at all.

This time I came to Nanjing and really gained a lot of knowledge. She has always thought that people outside are farming, and if you don't farm, you can't live, but she doesn't want the whole house to live without farming.

"Can I learn?"

Gong stopped this time, looked at Rui Xue and said, "It's not that I underestimate you. It's just that this thing has to be started from scratch, and it won't be able to work in a few years. Do you twist threads? ”

Ruixue shook her head in disappointment. She always thought that embroidery was a great thing, but she didn't expect to twist the thread.

Gong Shi looked at Rui Xue a little lonely, and said with a smile: "I'll teach you how to wait for my cloth to be taken off the shelves?" I'm going to hand over the cloth later, and I'm going to sell cotton when the time comes, so I'll teach you from scratch, okay?" ”

Ruixue nodded immediately.

"What do you do at home on weekdays? Just help your dad cook? ”

"Yes."

"Don't you do the work?"

Rui Xue nodded: "Yes." It's just learning to embroider, tie or something. I've never seen my sister-in-law say this. When she was with Zhao Xiyun, she even said a little about being Aunt Cui. A lot of the time it's just teaching them how to embroider, make purses, fan covers, or hat-warmers. In the words of Aunt Cui, this is all for the purpose of honoring the elders at the in-laws' house in the future. There are only needles and threads who really make shoes and clothes, where do you want the girl to do it herself.

Gong nodded, as if remembering something, and said to Rui Xue with a smile: "Your father must hold you in the palm of his hand." ”

Such a big girl, except for embroidery, tying, and helping to make some food, she doesn't do anything else, and she wants to come to the house to be a solid family.

Ruixue nodded. Dad is good to her, and the laundry is only started this year.

"So what you do at home in this world, you do what you do. The people in my mother's hometown, Songjiang Prefecture, are all good at weaving. Like the girl in Suzhou, the embroidery is good, there is nothing to say, and the embroidery is the same as the real thing. I've also heard a joke about how their women can embroider different patterns on the front and back of a piece of cloth. You say you're talking big. Even if the Weaver Girl in the sky comes down, I don't think I can do such a clever job. Don't you say? ”

Rui Xue said with some embarrassment when she heard this: "It's true, I've seen it." She had seen it in Zhao Xihou's house, embroidered on both sides, and it was indeed embroidered on a piece of material, and the front and back were different patterns.

"Really?"

Rui Xue nodded affirmatively: "It's very valuable." ”

Gong Shi smiled, and then said, "If only I could learn that skill." Be sure to weave this cloth in a way that both sides are in different patterns. Then I'll be able to live without having to cook. ”

"I'm afraid that my sister-in-law will have someone to serve her when she washes her face."

Gong Shi heard her say this and smiled: "How good is that, how good it is to do nothing all day long and have ready-made meals to eat." You see that you seem to come from a big family, and you know a lot. ”

Ruixue nodded: "I used to do it in a big family. ”

"Is it true that they are all gold bowls and silver plates?"

Rui Xue stared at the loom and shook her head as the shuttle in Gong's hand was woven through the patterns.

Gong sighed, as if he understood: "Also, money is not so easy to earn, who wants to sprinkle it like water!" ”
