Chapter 18: The Touching of the Rag Head
Li Mingmei saw Zhao Yunlan from afar, and greeted her from afar.
"Little sister, we're back." Li Mingli shouted
Zhao Yunlan smiled, "Let's go, go home, you still ran out to pick us up, you girl." ”
Li Mingmei followed and smiled, "Go back and wash, the meal is ready, sister-in-law is hungry!" ”
Zhao Yunlan: "Yes, I'm very hungry, let's go and go back to eat." ”
The three of them talked and laughed and returned home.
"Naan, Xiaobao, miss you" Xiaobao said and threw himself at Zhao Yunlan, Zhao Yunlan lifted Xiaobao and kissed her soft face.
"Mother hugged me to dinner, Xiaobao is there any good girl at home today."
"Yes, good boy."
Zhao Yunlan looked at Xiao Bao's round head and spoke, and she was about to be cute.
Wang wanted to ask something, but he didn't ask again. The family had dinner, and Zhao Yunlan still took the account book she wrote and went to the room to find Wang.
Before Li Mingren left, Zhao Yunlan asked Li Mingren for a few pieces of paper, cut them, sewed a notebook, and the pen was also made by Zhao Yunlan with charcoal, after all, the brush has not practiced Zhao Yunlan, and it is a waste paper to write, and the Li family has no extra money to buy her a pen. Charcoal is easier to write. And during this time, Zhao Yunlan had already known a lot of words, and unexpectedly discovered that the fourth child of the Li family was a child who was eager to read.
Zhao Yunlan reported to the Li family about the expenses of going to the town today and the income from selling eggs, and originally wanted to explain what those rags were bought for, but the Wang family spoke: "Okay, what are you going to do, my mother won't care too much, go and rest early." ”
Zhao Yunlan left the hall and went to the warehouse to squat.
At this moment, Li Mingmei saw Zhao Yunlan squatting next to the sweet potato pile, muttering something.
"Sister-in-law, rest early! After a day of walking, my legs are sore. ”
was asked by Li Mingmei, Zhao Yunlan felt that she couldn't stand up, so she had to take a sweet potato back to the room.
Although Li Mingmei was puzzled, she didn't say anything and went back to the room by herself.
Zhao Yunlan saw that Xiaobao was already sitting on the bed and waiting, it was Li Mingmei who washed Xiaobao, and she was very moved by Li Mingmei's intimacy at this time.
Zhao Yunlan washed up, patted Xiaobao to sleep, looked at this sweet potato and thought: I eat sweet potatoes every day and I don't think of making sweet potato powder, and sure enough, my head is broken. Hey, but how do you explain how I can make this sweet potato flour?
Well, it looks like we'll have to find a chance to go to town alone. Take your time and take it one step at a time. Zhao Yunlan thought of an idea and just waited to implement the plan.
When she got up early the next morning, Zhao Yunlan drew a bamboo flower basket and prepared to try to weave it for Old Man Li. When Old Man Li got the picture, his eyes lit up, and he directly opened the door to the new world.
Zhao Yunlan discussed with Old Man Li: "Dad, you study and study these, try to make them smaller, they are the kind of things that are not troublesome to carry, look beautiful, and don't need to be too much if you load things, if you are heavy, your father's experience should be better than mine." ”
Zhao Yunlan then took out the two bundles of broken steps that she bought yesterday and picked them up, and the broken ones were too small to keep the soles behind. The larger ones, the brighter ones, were taken out. Zhao Yunlan also found two relatively large pieces of cloth inside, which were basically enough to make socks, just one was dark in color and one was light in color.
Zhao Yunlan divided the two pieces of cloth between Wang and Li Mingmei.
Li Mingmei was so happy that she almost hugged Zhao Yunlan. Zhao Yunlan looked at Li Mingmei's silly appearance, only distressed, obviously still at the age of a child, just because the family was poor, she couldn't buy any new clothes all year round. I can even be excited like this because of a rag.
Seeing that the little sister can be excited for a long time because of a rag, Zhao Yunlan will also be happy, it turns out that this is the happiness of having a family.
Wang's side looked at Zhao Yunlan's cloth, and a smile appeared on his face. Li Mingmei said: "Give me my mother's cloth, I made socks for my mother and then sent them over, sister-in-law has a lot of things to do now, and I just happen to be able to practice embroidery." ”
Wang nodded with satisfaction, and Zhao Yunlan didn't have any opinions.
Zhao Yunlan cleaned the selected rags, and then dried them one by one, because the previous cloths were all tied together and wrinkled, Zhao Yunlan could only sigh again, poor families couldn't even afford an iron.
Over there, Li Mingmei's breakfast was also ready, and the family ate.
Old man Li was going to go to the field earlier, do the work in the field, and come back to study the flower basket.
Zhao Yunlan also went up the mountain with a basket on her back. The weather is gradually warming, and wild vegetables are popping up in the mountains.
Zhao Yunlan found a lot of fungus and a lot of mushrooms, and the life experience of the original owner lit up a lot of skills for Zhao Yunlan. For example, the skill of identifying whether wild mushrooms are poisonous or not. Zhao Yunlan, the little woman who picks mushrooms, is very happy.
After squatting for a long time, I moved my legs, and when I looked up, I saw that women in the distance were digging wild vegetables. Zhao Yunlan also followed the past to join the team, talking and laughing with these aunts and sisters-in-law, sisters and sisters, and everyone laughed. These sisters-in-law and sisters also feel that today's Zhao Yunlan is more amiable.
Everyone chatted too devotedly, and when they were ready to go home, Zhao Yunlan found that the back baskets were almost full, but fortunately they were all light, looking full, Zhao Yunlan had no trouble carrying them at all.
Zhao Yunlan now likes this kind of farm life very much, enjoying the slight spring breeze in the mountains, enjoying the crystal clear river, and enjoying the faint fragrance of grass in the air.
