Zheng Changhe said with a smile: "So, there is never a complete end to things in this world. You see, my father is only one brother, and he has nothing to worry about, but he is a little lonely; Those who have many brothers, the family is prosperous, and when they get to life, it is bumpy and bumpy, and it has never stopped. ”

Yang smiled: "There are many people and many things, why don't you stop?" Teeth and tongue still have to fight, let alone such a big family. You see, Liu Da Fat may be able to separate Ershun from each other. The little sister has said, there are more people, there are more things, marry a daughter-in-law, divide a son out, while the old couple can still move, and they can help the younger son if they are separated earlier. Putting aside a piece of land may not be cheaper. ”

As she spoke, Chrysanthemum sewed a piece of clothing and beckoned her father to try it.

Zheng Changhe put down the straw sandals in his hand, clapped his hands, came over to take a look, and asked curiously: "Girl, what kind of clothes is this, why is there no door?" ”

Chrysanthemum smiled when she heard this: "It doesn't matter what kind of clothes it is, as long as it is easy to make and easy to wear." The placket was too troublesome, and it had to be buttoned, or it had to be tied; I put on this garment from the head down, and I put it on, how cheap! We live in the countryside, and we don't pay so much attention to it, and this dress doesn't show flesh, which is not grotesque and rude. ”

She helped her father and brother sew summer shirts according to the T-shirt style of her previous life, which saved a lot of work. Thinking that the cotton cloth is not elastic, I enlarged it a little.

Zheng Biaohe tried it on, and it was really convenient, and said happily: "This is simple, it is very cheap, and the clothes will be like this in the future." ”

Ju Bao smiled: "I'm afraid that the winter coat will not be a mile, and the jacket is lined with cotton, which is not good for pullover." ”

Aoki also tried it on curiously, looked at the round-necked shirt without placket, and said with a smile: "This not only saves time, but also saves fabric." Let's make it like this in the future. ”

Yang pursed her lips and smiled: "I said that she was busy all night, and I didn't even recognize the clothes she sewed."

That's how I sewed it.

The family laughed for a while and didn't talk about it.

And at the turn of spring and summer, the weather is getting hotter, and there are not so many things in the sausage workshop - sausages, bacon, bacon and bacon still recognize the season - Aoki and Zhang Huai also go out to fish in their spare time, in order to catch fish fry and put them in the fish pond; Trees were planted everywhere, and the village moved all the oak trees in the nursery to the hill and planted many more.

Chrysanthemum and Xiaoxiu picked up a lot of land in the depression by the river, and pinched a lot of camellia, ready to make dumplings to eat. After the spring rains, the soil was moist and mossy green, and the roots of the grass were covered with black-brown fungus-like ground, and the two of them squatted on the grass and gently lifted the slightly elastic soft skin, brushed off the soil, and put it in the basket, talking and laughing softly.

Xiaoxiu smiled at Chrysanthemum and said, "Chrysanthemum, you always like to make these things, but it's really delicious." Coming out to pick these can also loosen your body and breathe, I am always busy at home, and I don't see that the house is better than others. She felt that after moving to the mountainside, she was much more active than living in the village, and she was busy with plums and chrysanthemums, so her mother didn't care so strictly.

Chrysanthemum said: "This thing was first brought to eat by Grandma Shi." That shepherd's cabbage dumplings taste good, right? It's not worse than leeks. Liu Xiaomei was also going to come, her third brother was fishing today, she was afraid that she was helping. ”

Speaking of Liu Sanshun, Xiaoxiu didn't squeak.

Chrysanthemum glanced at her slightly, this shy and gentle girl, her face was red before she spoke, she was really like water, I hope Liu Sanshun can get her, and it will not be in vain for Xiaoxiu to miss him.

She deliberately said: "Brother Sanshun is really capable, since the end of last year, this fish pond has been fishing for fish, he has also kept putting fish in it, and he has also cut grass everywhere to feed the fish. I heard from Xiaomei that her family has dug a paddy field and is ready to plant lotus roots, fish farming, yellow eels and loaches! ”

Xiaoxiu heard it, and stopped her hand unconsciously, her face was red, and her eyes were moist for a while, before she glanced at Chrysanthemum quickly, and saw that she was busy and didn't pay attention to herself, so she sighed carefully,

The thoughts of the daughter's family are really not enough for outsiders, anyone can eat an egg with a chrysanthemum like a chrysanthemum! She still remembers that morning misty morning, when Chrysanthemum fed Huaizi eggs, the relaxed and intimate demeanor did not make people feel frivolous; Huaizi's smiling and happy expression makes people look shy and heartbeat!

Will she be like a chrysanthemum, one day to feed eggs to a boy to eat? Unconsciously, Liu Sanshun's round smiling face appeared in my mind again, it was so comforting, not at all like her father's face, rigid all day long, and it made people uncomfortable when they saw it.

The two picked up half a basket of land, and carried it to the river to wash it with the shepherd's cabbage.

The willow trees next to the bluestone slab are already very tall, and the willow flutters in the wind, describing the grace; It is along the bank of the river that those willows have also grown into a fluffy clump, the slender branches hang down, and the small peach trees planted between them are also full of green leaves.

With the shade of the willow tree, the sunlight no longer basks people unscrupulously, only a little mottled light and shadow leaks from the gaps in the branches and leaves, sprinkled on the water surface and the people washing vegetables by the river, and laughter and laughter flow down the Xiaoqing River.

Yang wanted to help Liu Xiaomei, but he didn't know what to find to find out the tone of the little sister. The Liu family is also worried: many people come to the door to say goodbye to the third son, but this "three strong sons" will not let go, and they know that they are busy in the fish pond all day long.

Originally, the fish pond in the village was busy enough, but this year Sanshun bought a piece of land near Jinghu Lake, and several brothers went out together to dig a fish pond, which is even busier, fishing for small fish and shrimp in the river all day long and putting them in the fish pond.

To say that he has found a way to raise fish: it is beneficial to mix those small fish and shrimp with large fish, because some big fish eat small fish and shrimp, and yellow eels also eat small fish and shrimp and water worms

He is busy with this, not forgetting his own family affairs, on the contrary, he has a thorn in his heart, and wants to use his busyness to soften it and use time to forget it.

For those who are close, he has also been to see each other, but whether it is the daughter of the Zhang family or the daughter of the Wang family, no matter how good it is, what does it have to do with him? This thorn in his heart can't be removed, and he can't say kiss.

On this day, he carried a bucket of fish, and his little sister was casting a net along the river, and the little sister also carried a prawn net by the way, and went around and around, and came to the chrysanthemum door, just to see Xiaoxiu and Chrysanthemum washing the wild vegetables just picked up by the river.

Liu Xiaomei called: "Chrysanthemum, Xiaoxiu, what are you two doing?" “

When Chrysanthemum saw their brother and sister, she was very happy, and hurriedly stood up and waved her hand: "Little sister, Brother Sanshun, you two are fishing in the net!" Xiaoxiu and I picked up some land and some shepherd's cabbage. Do you want a little? I've picked up quite a few and divided some to take you. ”

Liu Xiaomei trotted over briskly, looked at the wild vegetables in the basket of the two, and said with a smile: "Forget it." I have a lot of family, and I don't have enough to eat. I'll pick up some myself. He sat down by the river and took a breath.

Liu Sanshun couldn't help but feel depressed when she saw that Chrysanthemum was always that leisurely look, and secretly said that she didn't care about her mind at all, she was really stupid like this. However, he was determined to go to see her, and listen to her and his sister ask if his apricots were going to be yellow and the plums were going to be red. He rested his burden and sat down on the grass by the river, listening quietly to the conversations of the men.

Chrysanthemum suddenly looked at him and said with a smile: "Brother Sanshun, I just told Xiaoxiu about you, you are so good at raising fish, and you have your own fish pond again." Xiaoxiu, huh? ”

Xiaoxiu's face was already red, and when she heard Chrysanthemum call her name, she responded in a panic: "Hey! Be...... That's right. Brother Sanshun······ Very capable! At the end, the voice faded into obscurity.

Liu Xiaomei has long been familiar with Xiaoxiu's personality and doesn't care about it; Liu Sanshun still felt uncomfortable for her, thinking that this Xiaoxiu was too shy, and he would blush when he said something ordinary.

Chrysanthemum smiled and said to Xiaoxiu: "When the little sister's apricots are yellow, let's eat them together." Little sister has a good time with us, you are also familiar with Brother Sanshun, Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu, you will know when you go. ”

Xiaoxiu glanced at Liu Sanshun quickly and nodded shyly and timidly.

Liu Sanshun happened to look at her, Xiaoxiu's daughterly posture full of red light made him stunned, only felt that her eyes were very tasteful when she looked at herself, and couldn't help but move slightly in her heart, remembering that Chrysanthemum once said, "There are also girls who secretly like you", at that time, he was uncomfortable because of Chrysanthemum's marriage, and he didn't take this to heart, now it seems that this person is Xiaoxiu?

He thought about it and felt that it was not like it, this Xiaoxiu would blush when he talked to anyone, not to himself, so he put this idea aside and ignored it. However, Xiaoxiu's shy and timid appearance made him remember.

Liu Xiaomei said such things because of the chrysanthemum, and also invited Xiaoxiu: "You go with the chrysanthemum, and it will be lively." In two years, when these fruit trees in Chrysanthemum's family have grown up, we should come to her house to eat. Chrysanthemums, it's okay to be next to it - I have it at home anyway, but when the autumn comes, the hairy chestnuts will be given to me when they are harvested, and I like to eat the taste of powder. ”

Chrysanthemum smiled: "Do you still need to say this?" Didn't I just get you away last year? ”

As she spoke, Xiaoxiu stood up and said that she was going home. Chrysanthemum and Xiaomei smiled and nodded at her, and didn't say much - Xiaoxiu sisters are always like this, and they usually don't stay out for long.

Before leaving, she passed by Liu Sanshun's side and wanted to take a look at him, but she couldn't muster up the courage to raise her eyes, so she had to bow her head and hurriedly go.

After Xiaoxiu left, Chrysanthemum said to Sanshun meaningfully: "Brother Sanshun, this Xiaoxiu is too shy, and she blushes when she sees you." She decided to give the boy a touch, lest he not get out of that dead end in life.

Liu Sanshun immediately understood what she meant, and couldn't help but look embarrassed; Liu Xiaomei didn't know that Chrysanthemum had said to her brother that someone liked him, so she said to herself: "Xiaoxiu is like this, especially Sven, always blushing." Her sister Xiaocui is not much better. It's not like us, thick-skinned. ”

Chrysanthemum teased her, "Isn't your face always red?" Where the skin is thick, it is very thin! ”

After a few laughs, they went home.
