Chen Miao knew some news again, but she was quite puzzled, since she was a carpenter, why was the life of the family so bad? I don't know how old I am, but I'm really thin, and so is this kid, looking at the general. Didn't come back for a few days? The girl who got married and became a father didn't come back?

"Mother? You just hurry up and say it yourself, and you want me to ask one by one? ”

"I want to be with my sister-in-law and sister-in-law. Third sister. Your previous clothes were made into paper. "Say it carefully.

Chen Miao didn't say anything.

"Third sister, yesterday the eldest sister came back to fight with her mother, and said why didn't she prepare a dowry for you? It's worthy of you. ”

Chen Miaoxin said that she knew that it must be like this. But it's also good, the province is still angry with them, and it's best not to get along.

Scoop out a bowl of hot water, "You drink." She sat on the side with the bowl in her hand, and now she was sweating and feeling a little cold.

"Chen Jiang, why do you think I'm so unpopular?"

"Third sister, I think you love to talk."

"I've always wanted to know." It turns out that this body doesn't like to talk, and pretending to be dumb in the future won't let others doubt it.

"My mother likes the eldest brother and the second brother, the eldest sister and the second sister still have you, and the little sister is not rare."

"That's not uncommon for you, is it?"

"My third brother and I are not rare, and neither is my younger brother."

I can really give birth, nine children.

"Third sister, if my mother knew that you had a little donkey, she would definitely say that you married the right person."

"Well, Shen Jianfeng told me, if he comes back after a while, if the little donkey is taken away by others, he will definitely pay compensation, and before he left yesterday, he also called the village chief to see the little donkey."

"We have a little donkey at home, and my mother won't want you."

"Sold me to Shen Jianfeng, and it has nothing to do with my mother's family."

"Third sister, do you also know that your mother and brother-in-law are asking for money?"

"Why didn't I know?"

"My mother said that the eldest sister and the second sister have lost money, and you asked for three yuan, and the younger sister will need at least three yuan in the future."

It's really strange that there are such parents.

The hot water was drunk. I feel hungry and have a heartburn. She stood up, "Chen Jiang, do you have time to grind noodles with me at night?" "I can't do this job, I really haven't seen it before.

"Let's go, I'll go with you."

Chen Miao entered the West House and took out the corn that Shen Jianfeng bought yesterday.

"Third sister, are you going to grind?"

"yes, leave some for seed."

"Then you go find another bag."

Chen Miao reluctantly put down the sack, and it was not easy for him to carry it.

The bag of cornmeal was found, and there was a cloth bag with pudding stacked on top of it, and I also carried it, and I was really afraid that it would be bad, and the food would not be in vain at that time.

Chen Jiang is a good kid, he divided half a bag of corn kernels, so that the two of them would not be so tired when they split their backs.

The stone mill is in the middle of the village, and next to it is a well, which looks like it should be a few years old.

There are several women around the stone mill, and now there are people grinding noodles.

"Chen Miao, Chen Jiang, you come to grind noodles."

"Aunt Six, it's not like I'm fine, I helped my sister carry the corn kernels and helped her push and grind."

What Chen Jiang called, Chen Miao followed and shouted.

She is now staring at how people grind noodles, and when she has money in the future, she must buy a stone mill and put it at home, and it will be too troublesome to come here.

There's nothing complicated to look at. I've seen the dustpan, but I won't use it.

Chen Miao thought that he was too much off, and at least he had to prepare a dustpan.

Chen Jiang, this kid has a sweet mouth, and he coaxed these old ladies to laugh heartily for a while.

It's boring to stay here, and she doesn't want to talk, so she just helps to grind.

"Chen Miao, is Xiaofeng leaving?"

"Hmm." Just one word.

"Ahem." The middle-aged woman sighed, "It's not easy to make some money, Xiaofeng is going to work hard." ”

Chen Miao didn't know what to say, so he was silent and helped grind.

The middle-aged woman's corn is finished. The woman named Sanniang just now came over. Chen Miao still helped to grind together, to be honest, now she is dizzy from hunger, and she can't go back, and the little donkey is still hungry.

The three women looked at Chen Miao's actions and sighed in their hearts, this girl just doesn't like to talk. It's all from the same village, and I know what's going on with this girl.

"Chen Miao, you grind."

"Sixth aunt, sister-in-law, aunt, you are really good people, and my sister doesn't have dustpans and baskets at home. We can borrow your use if we grind first. ”

"You kid just talk. Chen Miao, you will talk more in the future. ”

Chen Miao heard it clearly this time, this body is called Chen Miao, and the pronunciation is quite similar, so it will be called Chen Miao in the future.

She wasn't ready to eat cornmeal by herself, so the grinding was rough. "I don't need a dustpan, that's all,"

Others don't know, but they all sympathize with this girl. I thought it was a waste of reluctance.

"Third sister, sixth aunt has a dustpan here."

"It's okay, so be it." After they were all packed up, they didn't leave, but helped push the mills. Her performance made several women identify with her.

"Chen Miao, go back quickly, there is a little donkey at home, and there is always no one who can't do it."

Chen Miao said, and the two sisters and brothers went back with the food on their backs.

"Chen Jiang, I have three acres of land at home, your brother-in-law brought back some wheat seeds, I want to plant one acre of wheat, one acre of corn, and the remaining one acre I want to plant half of cotton and half of sweet potatoes."

"Sister, you have to go to the town to buy cotton seeds, it's better if you go to the county seat, I heard from the second uncle that the seeds in the town are good."

"What about the sweet potato seedlings?"

"You take something and change it in the village."

Now that Chen Miao knows, he still has to go to the county seat.

When the two sisters and brothers arrived home, they hurriedly lit the fire, and Chen Miao put more than half a pot of water and began to boil.

"Third sister, I'm going back,"

"Wait a minute, you light a fire for me."

Chen Jiang sat down obediently, the water was warm, Chen Miao looked for water for the little donkey to drink, then found a basin, washed the freshly milled cornmeal with water and put it in the pot to boil porridge, and put the rest of the water with the skin aside.

"Third sister, your method is very good."

Chen Miao twitched the corners of her mouth, and said in her heart that if she didn't want to ask your kid to eat, she wouldn't eat this thing. More than a hundred tons of grain in the warehouse are enough to feed yourself for several lifetimes.

Chen Jiang, this kid is really good at work, it's good to burn the fire, at least the porridge is not paste, and he knows how to control the size of the fire.

When the porridge was cooked, there were four bowls at home, and the seedlings were all full, and then the water with the corn husks was poured down, and some cornmeal was put in.

"Don't light the fire, you hurry over and eat."

"Third sister, I don't eat it." The third sister has nothing at home. Just such a little food, if she eats it, the third sister will starve in the future.

"Eat as soon as you want, and sit down quickly."

After Chen Miao finished speaking, he entered the house, and two pieces of peach crisp appeared in his hand, which was also available in ancient times. Take it out and don't be afraid of being suspicious of anything.

When I came out, I saw Chen Jiang shoveling the pot.

"Don't burn the fire, it'll be cold for the little donkey to eat in a while."
