Early the next morning, as soon as the rooster in the backyard made its first crow, Xie Xuan heard the "creak" of the door opening in the east ear room outside, and it was about grandpa and grandma getting up.

Xie Xuan looked at the dark night outside the window paper, estimated that it was only four o'clock in the morning, not only sighed, but continued to wrap the quilt tightly, turned over and prepared to sleep again.

As soon as he finished playing the quilt, he heard the door of the east wing room "creak" again, it should be Xie Pingtian and Lin Shi got up, and then the sound of Zhiyuan Zhicheng reciting the three-character scripture came faintly.

Xie Xuan sighed silently again, covered her head with the quilt, and acted as if she hadn't heard anything.

However, she had too high expectations for the sound insulation effect of the ancient thatched hut, and then there was a "bang" sound of holding firewood at the kitchen door, then a sonata of cooking and pots and pans in the kitchen, and finally the door of the west wing also "creaked", it should be Xie Ping'an who also got up and went out.

Xie Xuan pulled down the quilt covering her head and looked at the dark roof speechlessly, thinking about whether to squint for a while or simply get up.

The roof is paved with two layers of braided bamboo strips, and then there is a thick thatch on top, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the air outside is ice, Xie Xuan is lying on the bed, thinking nonsense in his head, and he doesn't want to get up to face the cold at all.

The chicken chirped for the second time, and Xie Wang knocked on her door with a basin of hot water: "Xuanxuan, little lazy cat, get up and eat!" ”

Xie Xuan put on her clothes and went to open the door in a daze, and it turned out that she had slept again unconsciously.

After brushing his teeth with green salt, washing his face, and applying facial cream, Xie Xuan came to the hall.

Lin was setting up a meal, shouting to Zhiyuan and Zhicheng: "Zhiyuan, Zhicheng, eat!" It's time to go to school after eating! ”

I saw Zhiyuan shaking his head and coming out, muttering to himself, but behind Zhicheng was pulling his head, half-squinting, and looking like he hadn't woken up.

"Brother Zhicheng, look behind you, Mr. is here!" Xie Xuan suddenly shouted.

"Sir, I don't dare to doze off anymore-" I saw Zhicheng jump up suddenly, and quickly turned behind him, constantly babbling nonsense, "Where is Mr." Where's the gentleman? ”

"Hahaha-" Xie Xuan stumbled with a smile, pointed to Zhicheng with a confused face, and said: "Uncle, grandpa, you see that he is scared, he must have been caught by Mr. while sleeping in class......"

Xie Wang saw that Zhicheng was stunned, and hurriedly walked to Zhicheng's side, hugged him with one hand, and kept grabbing the air around him with the other, and kept shouting to the surroundings: "Zhicheng is back-" shouted, and the hand grabbed in mid-air pressed Zhicheng's head, and shouted seven times before stopping.

"Grandma, what are you doing here? I'm fine! Zhicheng was confused by Xie Wang's actions.

Lin saw that Zhicheng was fine, and remembered his words again, "Zhicheng, you tell me honestly, you don't study in the school and doze off?" ”

Seeing that Zhicheng was a little hesitant, Lin turned his head and asked Zhiyuan, who was secretly hiding: "Did your brother doze off in class and call Mr. scolded?" ”

Xie Wang waved his hand to Lin: "Don't scare him, just come back to your senses, talk slowly!" He turned around and nodded Xie Xuan's forehead vigorously, and said angrily: "You little devil, you won't be happy to scare people in the future!" It scared the souls away, but something big happened! Some time ago, you fell into the well, and you didn't wake up when you rescued you, so you asked me to borrow a basket of rice, and shouted around the well for a long time while sprinkling, and you slowly woke up, and scared us ......"

Xie Xuan was originally a staunch materialist, but who knew that the soul would return here, and he was thrown into this little Xie Xuan's body, and he was skeptical of the ghosts and gods, so he had to nod his head and say yes.

The chicken had just beaten Sanming, and after the Xie family had eaten, the people in the village also came with tools one after another.

There are neighbors who have always been good friends with the Xie family, Aunt Feng's husband and two sons, Zhou Laomai's father and son, and four other diligent men in the village, all of whom are good laborers who work honestly and do not play tricks.

Xie Qingshan told the Lin family to wait for Qiu Niang's son-in-law, her mother's brother and nephew to come, and let her take them to Zhuangzi. Xie Qingshan and Xie Pingtian led people to Zhuangzi first.

Xie Wang and Xie Ping'an drove the mules and went to the gourd village to buy some pots and pans, wine, meat, oil, salt and other things. Inviting people to dig the ground house is all hard work, three meals a day, so I can see some meat stars. They are all relatives and neighbors, and they can't neglect others.

The noisy crowd for a while was clean, Zhiyuan Zhicheng went to school with his schoolbag after eating early, and Lin and Xie Xuan were left at home.

"Alas—it's so boring—" Xie Xuan watched the shuttle in Lin's hand flying around, the loom "clanging" non-stop, and she asked boredly: "Da Yan, are you annoyed by weaving cloth every day?" Don't get bored? ”

"What's boring? That's how life goes! Besides, isn't our family's life getting better and better? Seeing that she was a little person, Lin kept shouting "boring, boring", and couldn't help laughing at her: "You little person, it's boring to shout every day, what are you talking like?" If you are really idle, I have a bandage in that sewing basket, you go and learn to embroider two flowers! ”

Xie Xuan went to get the needle and thread in a hurry, and saw that there was a half-embroidered bandage inside, and there were some colorful fine cotton threads in the basket, which were neatly braided.

Pick up the half-embroidered bandage, on which is stretched a moon-white muslin cloth, embroidered with the pattern of a baby playing pomegranate, the fat baby has been embroidered, holding a big pomegranate with a crack in his arms, only a pomegranate tree next to it is half embroidered.

Although the embroidery is not delicate and delicate, it is also neatly stitched, and it is a handwriting that is used to needlework.

"Da Yan, what are you going to do with this embroidery?" Xie Xuan asked.

Lin Shi's skin is not fair because of working in the summer, Zitang's face is slightly red from the sun, but the shuttle in his hand does not stop, and he smiles: "I'll make a bandeau mile!" ”

"Oh! The embroidery is so beautiful......" Xie Xuan praised.

"What's so nice about that? Your mother's embroidery is called beautiful! Lin smiled and said: "My needlework is just average, and your mother's needlework is good." The embroidered flowers were as if they had just been plucked from the ground; The embroidered bird is vivid, as if it can move! You sleep on that pillow, and a pair of magpies on the pillow are not embroidered by your mother when she was a daughter at home? ”

"I said that the pillow embroidered is quite beautiful, it turned out to be embroidered by my mother!" Xie Xuan said casually, "Da Yan, you still have a bandage, I'm afraid that the embroidery will be broken for you, I'll make a bandage and make a piece of cloth to embroider and play." ”

"There are several hanging by the head of the bed in the back room! It's all done by your uncle when he's free, take it yourself! There are two pieces of coarse cloth in the cabinet, you stretch them first and try to embroider! Lin sent her to get it herself.

Xie Xuan took a coarse cloth and stretched it on the embroidered bandage, went to the kitchen to find a piece of radish, sharpened it with a knife, and drew a plum blossom on the coarse cloth, leaving a faint cyan juice on the coarse cloth, so she threaded the thread and picked up the needle, and began to embroider.

In her previous life, cross-stitch was popular, she thought that cross-stitch had no technical content, so she bought a kit of Suzhou embroidery on Taobao, with large and small bandages, printed silk, and silk threads with good colors, and even the guidance tutorial was sent to you in the e-mail, I am afraid that you will not be able to learn.

At the beginning, she also bought the "Xue Gong Embroidery Spectrum" by Shen Shou, an embroidery master in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and vowed to embroider a plaque and hang it in the hall. It's a pity that only one flower was embroidered, two leaves, it was too slow and boring to give up halfway, and before coming here, the set of guys was still pressed at the bottom of the box and did not see the light of day.

Just as he was looking down and struggling with the needle, he saw a happy shout from outside the courtyard gate: "Mother! I'm coming! ”
