A pot of meat, greens, vegetables, and shredded noodles was cooked quickly, and Qin Miaomiao took out all the plates and bowls at home to barely make up the number, and it seemed that she had to buy some daily necessities.
The younger sisters sat around the stone table, but they were all very well-behaved, Qin Miaomiao put the noodles in front of them, they all just looked at the noodles in front of them and swallowed saliva, no one dared to move, seeing them so sensible and obedient, Qin Miaomiao felt a little sad: "Eat them all." ”
Siya looked back at Qin Miaomiao and Sanya, who were still standing aside, and asked in a low voice, "Second sister, third sister, don't you eat?" ”
Sanya was holding a bowl and was busy blowing the noodles in her hand, Baya was still young, and she needed someone to feed her to eat: "My second sister and I are not hungry after breakfast, let's eat quickly." ”
With permission, the sisters are not squirming, they are really hungry, and they have not eaten such delicious food for too long.
In the past, in the Qin family, the delicious ones were eaten by Qin Ruhua and Qin's father, and the rest of them took a bite to taste the taste, most of the time Qin's mother took them to eat dried vegetable coarse noodle porridge, a large pot of soaked dried vegetables mixed with half a bowl of coarse noodles, sprinkled with a few salt grains, boiled out of the clear soup with little water, no oil at all, when the harvest is good, you can eat coarse noodle cakes, if it is not good, you will drink dried vegetable porridge all year round.
So this noodle meal is equivalent to the Chinese New Year for them.
Qin Miaomiao is not too worried about the problem of eating, her current income can support her sisters and sisters, but at night she is a little angry, her mushroom house is too small, and four young ones can be stuffed in front of the bed.
She only has one quilt, leading the third and fourth girls to make the floor, and the people on the bed have no quilts.
And this place can be spread for a few days, the underground moisture is too heavy, and the body can't bear it after living for a long time, but her house can't fit two beds.
It seems that he has to work hard to earn money, and the first priority is to build a bigger house.
Qin Miaomiao was lying on the outermost side of the bunk, looking at the little heads on the bed, a little crying and laughing, this time there are not only three Ya, but also more Ya, she is now the sister of six children, and the burden on her shoulders is a little heavier.
Lying on the ground and thinking silently, tomorrow I will pack up the medicinal materials and go to the city to deliver them, this time I saved for more than ten days, much more than last time, and I have to buy some dishes and chopsticks, and some necessities for my sisters, I don't know if the money for selling medicine is enough for this trip......
Qin Miaomiao was calculating, the bean bag lying at the door suddenly sat up, standing up and listening to the sound outside, Qin Miaomiao was also vigilant, not knowing who would come to the house when it was dark.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Doubao made a whining warning sound in his throat, Qin Miaomiao put on a coat and walked to the back of the door, leaned over and leaned on the door panel to listen to the movement outside, Baya was the youngest, only she was asleep, and the rest of the people saw Qin Miaomiao get up, poking up their little heads to look at her, like a group of little moles.
The footsteps stopped in front of the door, and after a long silence, there was a gentle knock on the door, and Su Mu's voice outside the door was low: "Miao Miao, are you asleep?"
Hearing that it was Su Mu, Qin Miaomiao stood up straight and opened the door, glanced at the little moles in the room, chuckled and sighed, and walked out.
"Su Langzhong, why are you here? I'm sorry, but there's no place to sit in the house, so I can't invite you in. Qin Miaomiao looked at Su Mu with a smile.
In the slight night, you can clearly see his handsome and neat face, straight and straight figure, and secretly proud in my heart, "My vision is really good!" ’
Su Mu saw Qin Miaomiao wearing a coat, raised his hand to lift the clothes on her shoulder, his eyes were not as thin and cold as before, but with a little concern: "The dew is heavy outside, be careful of cold." ”
Although it is May weather, the nights are still a little cool.
Qin Miaomiao heard the concern in Su Mu's tone, the smile on her face deepened, she glanced back at the closed door, took a step forward boldly, stretched out her hand to wrap around Su Mu's waist, and the whole person hid in Su Mu's arms and rubbed his chest: "It's not cold this way." ”
Feeling the fullness in his arms, Su Mu raised his arm and gently hugged Qin Miaomiao, this time he could repay her with a bright face, instead of hanging his arm weakly every time.
Su Mu's clear voice came from overhead: "I thought you wouldn't go to bed so early, I went back and cleaned up the house, you can't live here, you can move to live with me, it's more spacious than yours." ”
Qin Miaomiao looked up at Su Mu with a smile: "What about you, where are you going to live?" It feels so good to see him, the corners of his mouth can't help but turn up, and he can't fall even if he wants to.
Su Mu also lowered his head to look at her, withdrew a hand, and pinned the scattered green silk behind her ear for her: "I'll come to live with you." ”
"No need for tonight, the eighth child is asleep. Tomorrow, tomorrow we'll move in, I'm going to sleep on your soft quilt. Qin Miaomiao didn't want to shirk Su Mu's kindness, just like she didn't want to be rejected by him because she cared about Su Mu.
"Well, that's fine. Then I'll go back first. Su Mu was ready to leave.
Qin Miaomiao suddenly tightened her arms, wrapped her arms around Su Mu's waist and didn't let go, rubbing his chest and whispering, "Kiss me!" Kiss me and I'll let you go! ”
Su Mu glanced at the direction of the house, a little uncomfortable, and quickly pecked Qin Miaomiao's cheek, and left as soon as he touched it, but he still clearly felt Qin Miaomiao's warmth and softness.
Satisfied, Su Mu was released, and Qin Miaomiao smiled like a cat that had been stealing success, with a deep sense of satisfaction in her cunning.
When I returned to the house, several young people on the bed had already fallen asleep, only Sanya had not yet slept, and when I saw Qin Miaomiao lying down, she asked softly: "Second sister, there will be more medicinal herbs tomorrow, I will go with you." ”
Qin Miaomiao thought for a moment, nodded and agreed: "Okay, you can go with me early tomorrow morning." ”
Qin Miaomiao and Sanya instructed many times before leaving, telling Siya to close the fence door, and let those who came to deliver medicine come back in the afternoon, and if there was something urgent, they would go to the bottom of the mountain to find Su Langzhong.
Guang told her that she was still not at ease, so she put away all the sharp things in the house, such as knives and scissors, poured out the hot water, and hid the flint.
Otherwise, she is always uneasy, the old seven and eight are still too young, and an accident outside is something that will affect their lives.
Sanya held the handlebar in the back, and Qin Miaomiao tied a rope in front of the body, put the rope on her shoulder, and pulled the car away.
Today's medicinal materials are more than 200 catties, even if Sanya also came to help, Qin Miaomiao still walked much slower than usual.
When the sun had risen in the city, the medicinal materials were sent to Suwentang to settle the account, Qin Miaomiao took Sanya to the cloth village first, made a new quilt, and when waiting for the cloth to be cut, Qin Miaomiao took Sanya to the grain and oil store, and the rice and noodles at home had to be added, and the medicinal materials made more than a dozen taels this time, so it was more than enough to sell these things.
This is the first time Sanya has entered the city, in the past, the Qin family only had the opportunity to follow Father Qin into the city during the New Year's holiday, and other people didn't even think about it.
Sanya felt new when she saw anything, she didn't dare to look at it if she wanted to, she glanced timidly, quickly looked away, and kept up with Qin Miaomiao, she was afraid that she would be lost by being left too far behind, causing trouble to Qin Miaomiao.
However, a pastry stall still caught her attention, this pastry not only looks good, but also smells so fragrant that you can find the location of the pastry stall with your eyes closed and smelling it.
Qin Miaomiao walked away a few steps and found that Sanya was standing in front of the pastry stall and was distracted, not following her.
He quietly returned to Sanya's side and whispered: "Sanya, let's buy some back, which one do you want to eat?"
Sanya was asked by Qin Miaomiao, and felt a little embarrassed, so she quickly shook her head: "Second sister, I don't eat, let's go." ”
After speaking, she lowered her head and stopped looking at all kinds of pastries, Qin Miaomiao knew that Sanya was reluctant to pay, she was the oldest and most sensible among her younger sisters, and she knew that her burden was heavier than before, so she didn't want to spend money indiscriminately.
But the pastry is not very expensive, and they will be happy to sell it back to them.
Qin Miaomiao didn't ask Sanya, but picked out some good-looking ones and wrapped them up in a big bag, paid for one and handed it to Sanya: "You can taste it, see if this is delicious?"
"Second sister, I won't eat it, leave it to my sister and them, I've grown up." Sanya is still refusing, even if she is desperate, but she wants to share some of it for Qin Miaomiao, she is a big child, and she can't just let the second sister suffer alone.
Qin Miaomiao saw that Sanya didn't answer, put one in her mouth, and took out a new one for her: "Eat it this time, I'll eat it too." ”
Sanya pursed her lips and reached out to take the pastry, but she didn't gobble up the two bites, but chewed in small bites, and she was reluctant to finish it all at once.
Qin Miaomiao took Sanya to go shopping for a while, bought some miscellaneous things to use at home, and estimated that the time was almost up, and the quilt was about to be ready.
Take Sanya back to the cloth village to get the quilt, when I come, it is full of cars, and when I go back, it is full of cars,
The two walked across West Street to the city gate, and when they passed by the front of a shop, they were suddenly stopped by a person: "Eh, the girl with the cart, you two stop!" Qin Miaomiao turned around in response, saw the man who spoke clearly, and scolded in her heart that the road is narrow!
It wasn't someone else who stopped her, it was the owner of the inn, who muttered in his heart, why did Chen Yuanbo release people so quickly, isn't buying and selling human beings a big crime in this era?
Knowing that he must be seeking revenge when he stopped him, Qin Miaomiao pushed the car and sped up, turning around and urging Sanya: "Sanya, don't look at him." Hurry up, if you are stopped, you will sneak away, find someone to inquire about the way to the county office, and then report the case! ”
Seeing that Qin Miaomiao didn't stop, the owner of the inn rushed out angrily: "Stinky girl, didn't you hear when you stopped?" ”
Quickly ran behind Qin Miaomiao and grabbed her by the collar.
Sanya was so frightened that she screamed and raised her hand to hit the innkeeper. But where is she the innkeeper's opponent.
raised his leg and kicked Sanya in the stomach, Sanya was already thin, and this kick kicked her far away.
When Qin Miaomiao saw Sanya being beaten, she immediately became anxious, turned around and pulled the innkeeper's arm is bite, the boss shook off Qin Miaomiao in pain, pointed at her nose and scolded: "Stinky girl, you belong to a dog!" Look at me if I don't beat you all over the ground today! ”
At this time, the guys at the inn heard the noise at the door and came out to see the excitement, and when they saw that it was their boss who was fighting with someone, they all surrounded him.
