Chen Miao looked at her three sisters-in-law and didn't say anything. It's not good to recognize, I'm afraid it's wrong.

came out and saw that Chen Jiang had already carried the basket on his back. "You push the cart, there are two baskets."

Several children called Chen Miao Sangu.

Chen Tong ran over, "Third sister, I'll carry it." ”

Chen Miao didn't say anything, and the three sisters and brothers went back.

The two brothers who chose the dried radish tassels packed up and walked away, and Chen Miao went back to lie down.

Chen's mother looked at the radish tassels really well, and the fourth son was still carrying a bag in his hand.

"Mother, this is the radish that my third sister gave."

"Well, put it all aside." I didn't expect this girl to really live her life, so it's the best, and she can save coming to her mother's house to play the autumn breeze.

There is not much work left at home, and the rest of the time is to clean up the land, and the sweet potatoes can wait.

Early the next morning, Chen Miao began to rub the shredded radish and dried it on the straw mat. This thing dries fast. It's full in the morning, and the rest will be said in a few days.

Not long after lying down at noon, she really didn't want to get up when she heard a knock on the door.

When he opened the door, he saw Chen Jiang: "Next time you knock on the door at this time, I won't open it." ”

"Third sister, I just finished eating, and in the afternoon my father said that I don't need to do anything, didn't I come to work for you?"

"There's nothing to do."

"Then I'll go and dig the cotton stalks."

That's the job. "Okay, I'll go to bed."

Chen Jiang knew where the tools were, so he took out a pickaxe and went out to work.

When Chen Miao woke up, he heard movement in the courtyard. went out and watched Chen Jiang cleaning up the dried radish tassels.

"Third sister, you wake up, the remaining radish tassels are chopped and dried, and they can be eaten by the livestock in winter."

"Okay. By the way, do you have anything to do tomorrow? Why don't we go to town and play cotton? ”

"Third sister, my father said that I was not allowed to go to the town and the county seat."

"So where to play cotton? I didn't have enough cotton to buy it, so I still had to play it myself. ”

"It seems that Zhao's housework has cotton, I'll ask my mother."

"The one who plays cotton can fry the cottonseed oil, no!"

Chen Jiang shook his head, "I don't know, ask my father and mother." The radish tassels were dried, and Chen Miao just asked Chen Jiang to carry the cabbage in, and the rest was dried up.

The two siblings tied ropes to the wall of the house, and the cabbage hung directly on it.

"Third sister, is the sauerkraut pickled?"

"Pickled, I can't eat too much when I live alone, so I use a small vat to pickle."

It can be said that Chen Miao is watching from the side, and Chen Jiang does all the work. I thought boys wouldn't do such work.

Until the evening, after all the work was done, Chen Miao pancakes were put and eggs were put for Chen Jiang.

"Third sister, my mother said that I would come and live with you in a few days, and if you get sick at night, I can go to the fifth aunt."

"Okay, tomorrow you will clean up the Westinghouse by yourself, I don't know if the kang can burn?"

"I'll see."

Chen Miao was also willing to come over to Chen Jiang. I'm a little scared myself. A lot of people tell themselves they can't be alone at home.

The belly is getting bigger day by day. The two children are more and more active. What should I do if I'm really afraid that there is no one around me and I will have labor pains?

In the evening, Chen Tong asked, "Fourth brother, what are you eating at the third sister's house?" ”

"What else?"

"Fourth brother, I also want to follow you to the third sister's house."

"You go and ask my mother."

Chen Tong has already told his mother, but he was directly denied.

The next day, the family scraped sorghum at home. Chen Jiang and Chen's father talked about the third sister's Xiwu Kang.

"I'll go over and have a look in the afternoon."

"Dad, my third sister said she wanted to play cotton."

"Go to Zhao's housework."

"Dad, can Zhao's housework squeeze oil?"

"Yes."

"Dad, I'll follow my third sister tomorrow to play cotton and squeeze oil."

"Dad, I'll go with the fourth brother." Chen Tong answered immediately.

"No, you work at home. Tomorrow the grain will be dried. ”

The family doesn't get used to it just because he's the youngest boy, it's all the same.

Mother Chen didn't say a word, she was looking forward to breaking up the family as soon as possible, she was too lazy to live with them, there was no good thing.

The boss's house has been built, and it's just right to move in. The other two also told them to hurry to get the house.

In the afternoon, Chen Dongsheng came to his daughter's house. It looks very good, the vegetables in the yard are also put away, and a lot of dried vegetables are dried, so that life will not be sad.

Check the kang in the West Inghouse, and you can also light the fire, "That's it, it's fine." ”

He went back to continue his work, and Chen Jiang cleaned up here.

Chen Miao stood in the yard rubbing corn. The corn is still wet, but this work will be dry sooner or later, so take your time. If you can't sit down, you can't stand it.

"Third sister, you're very fast."

"It's a good thing to buy a new one." Actually, I really didn't buy it. I bought too many ironware, and I bargained with the blacksmith to give it to others.

The two sisters and brothers really did a lot of work all afternoon, Chen Jiang said that the corn kernels were placed on the kang in the West House, and Chen Miao was still afraid of rats, so he finally put them on the kang where Chen Miao slept in the East House.

"Tomorrow, let's drive to Zhao's housework to play cotton, and my father said that there is oil extraction."

"That's good, I'll go back and give you fried twist to eat."

Chen Jiang just laughed, and the younger brother said that the twist of the third sister's family was gone. But every time I come to the third sister, I will give myself a meal. The third sister is really willing to herself.

The two sisters and brothers ate porridge and salted duck eggs, as well as cakes.

On his way home, Chen Jiang ran into Li Wenquan, "Comrade Li." ”

"Did you go to your third sister's house?"

"yes. Tomorrow, I'm going to play cotton and oil for my third sister. ”

"Can you do it yourself? I'm going with you? ”

"Comrade Li is not busy?"

"It's okay, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it yourself."

Chen Jiang smiled and nodded, he especially admired Li Wenquan.

The next day, Chen Jiang came over and drove away with pancakes and two jars.

Li Wenquan got into the car at the head of the village, and the two of them rushed to Zhao's housework.

There are really a lot of people playing cotton now. However, Chen Miao cleaned up, and the two families in front had to pick out the seed cotton by themselves. They also became the first to play cotton.

Chen Jiang brought a mask made by the third sister. In this way, the throat will be uncomfortable.

That is, the cotton is bounced in an hour, and it is rolled into cotton melon seeds. In the end, it was weighed and weighed that there were twenty-two pounds.

The oil extraction was even more strenuous, and both of them had to work along. However, more than five catties of cottonseed oil were produced, which was really a lot, and Chen Jiangrang put it in two jars and sprinkled it sparingly.

The two of them came back at four o'clock in the afternoon, and Chen Miao didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Tomorrow Comrade Li will come to the house for dinner at noon, and I will fry some oil cakes to eat." If you are grateful to others, you can only ask for something good.

Li Wenquan smiled and nodded, but did not refuse. I used to have a good life, but now it's really uncomfortable to live such a hard life all day. Of course I would like to have something delicious.

Chen Miao worked on it in the morning, ready to work more, and sent two to his father and mother, but there was no more.
