Chapter 22: Know the Balance

Zhao Zhenghao looked at Gao Xiaoyun who was already lying on the kang, his face was still pale, he stood in place for a long time, and finally sighed lightly, turned around and went out.

found a shovel, carried a bamboo basket and walked towards the sheepfold in the yard to help Zhao Zhengyang.

Besides, after Yunxiu returned to the house, she couldn't sleep, so she sat on a small stool at the stove to keep warm, and while warming up, she saw a few sweet potatoes on the ground on the side, she picked up two and threw them at the bottom of the pot.

He picked up the burning stick standing next to the pot and wanted to bury the sweet potato in the ashes.

Who knew that after picking up, she actually pulled out two big sweet potatoes in the bottom ash. The skin of the sweet potato is already a little burnt, but this sweet potato is big, and the meat inside is just right.

Put the two big sweet potatoes on the ground and cool them, and Yunxiu will start eating.

There is gray and bright yellow sweet potato puree sticking to the mouth and hands of eating.

was eating, suddenly there was a knock on the door, and then a gentle voice came, "Yunxiu, are you there?" I'm my sister-in-law. ”

Wan's?

When I heard it, it was Wan's.

Yun Xiu immediately put the sweet potato in his hand on the stove, hurriedly ran to the water basin, and wiped his mouth twice, "Oh, I'm here, sister-in-law come in quickly." ”

Yun Xiu rubbed her hands together and shouted out the door.

As soon as he finished speaking, the closed door was pushed open from the outside.

Immediately afterward, Wan, whose face was red from cold but with a warm smile, walked in with a sewing basket.

"The fourth daughter-in-law led the fourth daughter-in-law out to the door, the third daughter-in-law stayed in their house, and the children were in the main room, which gave me a headache, so I came to talk to you."

"Sister-in-law, I'm bored." Yun Xiu heard Wan Shi say this, picked up a towel to wipe his hands, and smiled at her. "Let's go into the house and go to the kang, it's warm on the kang."

She just added two sets of firewood to the bottom of the pot, and by the way, she took a wooden board to block the mouth of the pot stove and leave only a gap, so that the two firewood can burn for a long time.

As he spoke, Yun Xiu led Wan Shi to the inner room.

"What is my sister-in-law embroidering?"

The two got on the kang, and Wan picked up the embroidery frame in his hand and embroidered it.

Yun Xiu was curious, and stretched out her head to look at the embroidery frame.

"I'm embroidering a lion." Wan Shi heard Yun Xiu's question, and she raised her head and glanced at her. "The embroidery is not good, it makes you smile."

"Sister-in-law's embroidery is not bad."

A pocket-sized version of the lion embroidery, with a small body and a big head and eyes.

It's abstract.

It's not very good-looking, if you look closely, there is some roughness, but Wan's embroidery is quite decent.

After all, such embroidery was popular in ancient times.

Wan Shi was stunned for a moment when he heard Yun Xiu say this, and then the smile on his face deepened, "Do you also embroider?" ”

"Yes. As women, isn't the most important thing to do when we are young is to learn to be popular? ”

"Since it will, then the next time my mother goes to the town to catch the market, let her bring you some needlework back. In our family, except for a few acres of land, we rely on men to go out to work on weekdays, and women to do needlework to make a living. After a year, as long as you are willing to work, you will not go hungry. ”

"Well, then I'll talk to my mother in the evening."

Doing the work is naturally done.

Not only to do it, but also to do it well.

After all, the Zhao family is so poor that she wants to make a fortune now.

Seeing that Yun Xiu knew so much, Wan Shi had a smile on her face, and she didn't mention it again. But she hesitated, but then opened her mouth to mention another matter.
