Chapter 202: Xie Qi's Night Visit

When I returned home, I went to the next door to find Xiao Miaozi and sister-in-law after drying my clothes.

Went in to see what Xiao Miaozi and her mother were peeling, walked in and looked at something she didn't know, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Peel the hemp." Xiao Miaozi raised her head and replied.

"What is flax?" She really didn't know at all.

"This is hemp, don't peel off this skin, and then dry this peeled off hemp, and then you can rub the rope or make hemp shoes." Chen He took the things in his hand and explained to her while peeling them.

"It turns out that the big cow's feet are wearing shoes made of this thing." She took a stripped hemp and looked at it, and thought it was pretty good.

looked at the roar and put it down, and then asked his sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, where did you peel this?" I'll get some too, and I'll learn to weave shoes with you when the time comes. ”

"Yes, you can peel the seedlings at home, and my mother will take my aunt to peel them."

"I'll take my aunt with me, mother, you peel it at home." Xiao Miaozi put down the hemp in her hand, got up, and came over to take her hand.

"Then I'll go with Miaozi." Zhou Yiran said to Chen He with a smile, and followed Miao Zi after speaking.

Chen He smiled, feeling that his daughter was just like her father.

……

"This is it." Xiao Miaozi pointed to a hemp field in front of him.

Looking at a hemp tree, she felt that she was really gaining knowledge, and it turned out that this was hemp. looked at the missing piece, and knew that it was Miao Zi and her mother who made it.

She hadn't been here, it was the other side of the village, and there didn't seem to be many people here, but it was a pity that no one was afraid of this piece of hempland.

"Since this is hemp, someone should accept this, right?" She asked Xiao Miaozi.

"In the past, someone collected it, but then no one took it, and gradually no one came here, and only when there was a need, they would come here to get some." Xiao Miaozi only remembers that someone collected it when she was four or five years old, and she still remembers that her mother took her here to make hemp back, basically in the morning, and peeled it at home in the afternoon.

In fact, this thing is not valuable, and the clothes made are comfortable to wear without clothes made of silk.

"How do you get this?" Zhou Yiran was wondering if it would be broken directly?

Xiao Miaozi listened to her aunt's words and walked over to show her aunt.

She followed, watched the little seedling fold a hemp close to the root, and then misplaced, and then a finger passed through the staggered position, and the finger hooked forward, so that the hemp was peeled off one side, and then the other side was buckled, and it was also dragged forward, and the stem was down, and finally the hemp was directly tilted and pulled to peel the hemp from the root.

She tried it, and the first time she got it, it was a little rusty, and the flipped hemp was not good enough, but she became proficient with a few more sticks, and gradually she got her hands on it.

"Miaozi, how much do you have to peel to make a pair of shoes?"

"At least three or four bundles of them have to be peeled."

She thought about the bundle she saw at Miaozi's house for a while, and felt that she had work to do in the morning, but she didn't flinch and followed Miaozi to peel it here.

With Miaozi, a little expert, she quickly peeled four bundles, and she didn't know how long it took, but in short, she got enough four bundles.

Xiao Miaozi held a bundle, she carried two bundles in her hand, and a bundle in the other, and then the two went back like this.

"Huh..."

When I went back, I met Liu He, Liu He looked at the hemp in their hands and glanced at them with disdain.

I didn't want to deal with this Liu He with Miaozi, so I walked directly past her.

"Auntie, why doesn't Grandma Liu have a good face when she sees her aunt?" Walking away, Xiao Miaozi asked.

"Who knows, maybe I stole her family's rice in my last life!" Zhou Yiran jokingly said to Xiao Miaozi.

After listening to this, Xiao Miaozi laughed very loudly.

"Auntie, you're so funny."

"It's good to be funny, if you meet an aunt who is bored and doesn't speak, you must feel very boring, this person, just laugh every day, cry for a day, laugh for a day, why not smile for a day, let alone laugh for ten years."

Xiao Miaozi looked at her aunt with admiration, and felt that her aunt's words were really reasonable, and no matter what she said, it was very interesting.

"Mother, we're back." Xiao Miaozi said as soon as he entered the door.

Chen He heard the voice, raised his head, looked at Zhou Yiran behind Miao Zi with three bundles of hemp in his hand, got up and immediately went over to pick it up.

"It's okay, it's not heavy at all, sister-in-law, do you still want to soak in water?"

She saw that her sister-in-law was wet and wet, and there was a pool of water on the ground.

"Yes, soak it for a while before you peel it." Chen He replied to her.

"Then I'll take it back and soak it." As he spoke, he turned around and went back, and when Xiao Miaozi saw this, he followed her with the bundle again.

When she returned to her house, she threw the hemp directly into the basin and went out with the bucket to fetch water.

Back and forth three times, she finally filled the basin, looked up at the sun overhead, it was almost time to make lunch, she turned to Miaozi with the basket and said.

"I'm going to pick vegetables, do you want to go with you?"

"No, I'll go home and cook." After Xiao Miaozi finished speaking, he waved his hand to her and ran back to his house.

After Miaozi left, she closed the door and went to the vegetable patch.

At noon, Da Niu was not at home, she was too lazy to get it, picked a few tomatoes, a few cucumbers, pinched a handful of pumpkin tips, and a handful of sweet potato vine tips.

Of course, none of this is what she wants to eat, and at noon she plans to nibble on two tomatoes and a cucumber, and the rest of the dishes are prepared for the evening.

After all, the weather is dark, and it is just right to eat some melons and fruits.

……

In the afternoon, the little seedling came, with two nets and the last fishing rod. She went out with the bucket and the seedlings.

After locking the door, she put down the bucket and said to Miaozi, "You wait here, I'll call Zhang's third daughter-in-law." ”

"Is Aunt Li going too?" Xiao Miaozi asked.

"Well, she's going too."

"Okay, then Auntie, you go and call, I'll wait here."

She nodded, and then went to Zhang San's house.

Walking to the door of Zhang San's house, she stretched out her head to look inside, just when Li Yan came out of the kitchen, when she saw her, she smiled and went over to pick up the things prepared under the eaves, and turned her head to explain to Zhang San in the house.

"Remember to feed the pigs and chickens." Then he came to the door and said to her, "Let's go!" ”

"Sister-in-law, when did your family buy the pig?"

"Just a few days ago, I bought a piglet, and I can almost kill it when I feed it for the New Year." Li Yan told her with a smile.

"How much is one? I would also like to buy two to feed. Zhou Yiran asked Li Yan.

"Two or three hundred dollars a piece, depending on the size."

"Then I'll let the big cow buy two and feed them, eat more game, and I still think it's good to eat some domestic food."

"Indeed." After Li Yan said this, they came to Miaozi.

"Let's go!" Zhou Yiran lifted the bucket at the foot of the seedlings.

The three of them went away together.

……

Before coming to the pond, Miao Zi still looked around like last time, and she didn't see Chen Dong, she was a little lost, but she didn't show it.

Zhou Yiran knew what she was thinking when she saw her like this, but she didn't say it, after all, Li Yan was there.

She went down and touched some snails, and the three of them started fishing for lobsters.

Li Yan prepared three fishing rods, she and Miao Zi prepared five, Li Yan did not have a net, and used theirs.

They didn't go back until dusk.

I don't know if it's because they catch too much, there are a lot fewer lobsters in the pond, and their harvest today is not ideal, but it's enough to eat.

When she returned home, she said to Miaozi: "Go back and tell your mother not to cook." ”

Xiao Miaozi told her with a smile: "Uncle Da Niu said it yesterday. ”

"Oh, then you go home and get a kitchen knife, and you'll knock the snail lion with me later, and the two of you can get it faster."

"Okay, I'll go back and get a kitchen knife." After Xiao Miaozi finished speaking, he turned around and ran back.

Chen He here, when he heard the voice, he packed up and prepared to go over to help, and when he saw his girlfriend running back, he said to his daughter.

"Go to the house and bring the wine your father bought, and my mother will go get the kitchen knife."

"Okay." Xiao Miaozi ran directly into the house and took out a jar of wine from the cabinet.

As for why the wine is in the cupboard, it is because my father is afraid that he wants to drink it when he sees it, so he stuffs the wine in the cabinet and hides it.

Chen He waited for Xiao Miaozi to take out the wine, and then the two went over together.

Zhou Yiran had already started knocking, Chen He took the kitchen knife and went over and learned from her to knock the snail's butt with the back of the knife.

"Sister-in-law, be careful, don't knock on your hand." She was worried that her sister-in-law would knock on her hand and reminded her.

Chen He smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, it won't." ”

Xiao Miaozi put the wine on the table in the hall and came over, looked at her mother and aunt, she had nothing to do, so she asked.

"Auntie, what am I doing?"

"You go to the kitchen and get two garlic stalks to peel, and then wash some ginger after peeling." Zhou Yiran said.

After hearing this, Xiao Miaozi ran into the kitchen, took two garlic seeds and a bowl out, sat on a chair, rested the garlic on his lap, and rested the bowl on the ground.

Da Niu and Quanzi came back when it was almost dark, and she saw that Da Niu was holding a pheasant in his hand, so she said to Da Niu.

"You brought the pheasant to Zhang San's daughter-in-law, and she said she wanted to buy one."

"Okay." The big bull prey was put down, and he went to Zhang San's house with the pheasant.

After the big cow left, Chen He said to Quanzi, "You got the lobster." ”

Quanzi nodded and went to the kitchen to get a dustpan and get a lobster.

The big cow went out and came back after a while, glanced at his daughter-in-law, and saw that she had already made the snails, and walked over to pick them up.

"I'll get this first."

"Uncle Niu, I'll help you light the fire." Little Miao shouted.

Da Niu looked back at her, smiled and nodded, and led Miaozi into the kitchen.

Xie Qi came here, felt the lively atmosphere in the house outside the door, raised his feet and walked in.

Strangers suddenly came to the house, and everyone naturally stared at each other.

Seeing that they were all looking at him, Xie Qi smiled and said, "It looks quite lively." ”

Quanzi and Chen He didn't know him, they didn't gnaw, they just watched.

She got up, wiped her hands, and walked over.

"What are you going to do?"

Xie Qi looked at her, it was really similar to the person in the portrait, but two days ago, he heard that the body of the young lady of the Zhou family had been found, and he was puzzled, who was this in front of him?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhou Yiran asked again: "What are you doing at my house?" ”

Xie Qi's pursed mouth moved, and then he opened his mouth to tell her.

"I heard that you have a tiger skin at home, I don't know if it's true."

"If you don't sell it, you can leave without anything else."

This Xie Qi said that he was coming for the tiger skin, and the ghost knows if he was under the guise of a tiger skin, and he had found someone to sneak attack him before, so she didn't have a good impression of Xie Qi.
