77 Sister and brother went up the mountain

Chen Dou also sat on the side, the cotton of the two families was packed at home, and there was no need to pick up sundries here like them.

The child is young, and he has never been to other people's homes, so of course he feels fresh when he sees so many people, and he is curious to follow the movements of outsiders.

Chen Miao looked at the appearance of his sons and smiled. These two boys will definitely not stop in the future, and it is good for the boys to be lively. Just let them play on their own.

Playing cotton is actually a bad job, it will suck into the nose, which is very uncomfortable.

It was almost noon, and it wasn't their turn. Chen Miao also didn't want the children to stay here for too long, so the two sisters carried the two children to the car.

Chen Miao brought a nest head, but there were dried vegetables and oil residue in it, although it was cold, it should not be unpalatable.

Bring goat's milk to the two children, go to the side and light the pot and put it on top to heat. poured two bowls, and there was fire, and I went to Danmian's house to ask for water, and the two sisters could also have hot water to drink.

Chen Miao fed the two children, and Chen Dou found a branch and put it in a nest to roast by the fire.

The two sisters will eat only after the two children are full, and Chen Miao will also put a piece in the mouths of the two children, so that they can be honest.

After dinner, I went to see it, and it was estimated that there would be an hour before it was their turn, and it was not slow to play cotton, but it took time to press the oil. It's not easy to come out, and I'm going to fry it even late today.

Chen Miao asked Chen Dou to take care of the two children, and she went to work. With a headscarf, a mask, and a tightly wrapped.

Playing cotton vigorously boasted of the velvet height of the seedlings cotton, she just said that the planting was sparse and used a lot of fertilizer. In fact, any crop will certainly grow well.

In the end, there were thirty-two pounds of cotton, which is really a lot, so that the family fills in new bedding, and there is no problem for their mother to make cotton clothes.

The mother's family played eleven catties of cotton, and there was no problem with the cotton clothes of the four of them.

The cotton seeds have been soaked in hot water just now, and they are suffocating, and the oil is just right after the cotton is squeezed.

Until it got dark. The cottonseed oil was fried, and Chen Miao got five catties of cottonseed oil, and her mother's family had two catties of one catty.

It's dark now, and the speed of catching the car is slow, but I just walked through it when I came, and I still didn't know the road.

The family is already very anxious, and the two girls have not come back yet, and Chen Dongsheng still came out to look for them. He was about to get to town when he heard movement in front of him, and he couldn't see it when it was dark, so he shouted.

Chen Dou agreed loudly when he heard his father's words, and both father and daughter were relieved.

Yunshan and his two brothers were reluctant to follow their aunt when it was dark, so it was just right, her father was in a car, and she sat in the back and held the two children.

Chen Dou and her father talked about playing cotton today, and they said with a small mouth, not that they don't like to talk, depending on who they talked to.

Chen Dongsheng was a little anxious, it was already so late, it was cold, and he was afraid that his two grandsons would be sick.

The car stopped directly at the door of Chen Miao's house, and one of them carried cotton and cottonseed cakes on their backs, and the other went home with oil cans.

Chen Miao fed sheep and donkeys, and chickens, ducks and geese also ate in the dark. The family didn't burn the fire for a day and felt cold, and playing cotton was also a very dirty job, or boiling water to take a bath, and the time to boil water was for the three to eat.

You don't have to worry about catching a cold when you take a bath in the space. It wasn't until the middle of the night that the two children were let out, and the house was warm.

The next day, after breakfast, I carried my two children up the mountain to remove the sweet potatoes, and the sweet potato seedlings were given to the donkeys and sheep to eat.

It took a whole day for the sweet potatoes to finally be dug up. There are 1,000 catties, and they are all divided. There are no injuries, the long ones are put up separately, and the pickaxe wounds and the small ones go back to steam and dry sweet potatoes.

It was already dark when I got home, and all the harvest of four or four years had arrived.

The next day, Chen Dou came over, "Third sister." I also want to help you remove the sweet potatoes, you have already removed them all? "I also squatted down to help wash the sweet potatoes.

"All the things in the house have been removed?" Chen Miao asked while washing sweet potatoes.

"Yes, my father and mother went yesterday." Chen Dou wanted to ask when he could go up the mountain. She was still thinking about persimmons, and today the younger brother followed her father to the field to pull sweet potato seedlings without any reluctance, and asked herself to come over and ask the third sister if she could go up the mountain tomorrow.

The two sisters work fast, and Chen Dou can't use a scraper. It's quicker to work that way.

"Chen Dou, you go back to work with your mother, if it's okay tomorrow, you and Chen Tong come over early, let's go up the mountain." Looking at the appearance of the little sister, I knew that it was because of this incident.

"Well, we'll be early. I'll go back and follow my mother to cut sweet potatoes, third sister, don't you dry sweet potatoes? ”

Chen Miao shook his head. "No, I don't like to eat either. Just dry more dried sweet potatoes. "Sweet potato noodles are made by cutting sweet potatoes raw, slicing, drying them and then crushing them. She ate it when she was a child, she didn't like it, she felt slippery and black, she really didn't like it.

sent the little sister away, the sweet potatoes in the pot were already ripe, picked them out and put them on the mat, and began to peel and steam the second pot.

The two children are quite fond of sweet potatoes, so they pick out a bowl for them to eat, so that they can be honest.

Until noon, the three pots of sweet potatoes were all out of the pot and two mats were dried.

The children took a nap, and she took out the cotton clothes for herself. I didn't pay attention to the long size, but when I tried to wear it this morning, I realized that the cotton trouser legs and sleeves were shorter. Secretly measured it, there were actually one hundred or sixty-five. It must have grown a lot.

In fact, it is also normal, it is only sixteen years old and less than seventeen, and it is the time to grow the body.

Chen Tong knew that he could go up the mountain tomorrow. It was useless to work together in the afternoon.

The next day, Chen Miao was feeding the animals when he heard a knock on the door, still carrying the two children on his back.

"Third sister, my mother said that she watched the child send it back."

Chen Miao shook his head, "No, the two of them can't see that I'm not doing it, let's go if it's okay." ”

I don't have anything missing, and I've collected a lot.

Today's children are not squeamish, they all work with the family for a long time, and they are not slow to go up the mountain.

On the way, it has been discussed that we must go to pick persimmons first. In fact, persimmons are sweet, and there is nothing that you don't like to eat.

After all, Chen Tong is a boy, and of course he is faster than a girl. He picked it up at the top, and the two sisters followed it below, and he was not afraid of breaking it. When I go back, I also have to dry persimmons.

Soon two baskets were full, and two more bags were also full. "Let's go back, send it back first, or we won't be able to carry it."

That's a lot, I've said twice to go back first, but my younger siblings are unwilling. I can't wait to take them all off.

Chen Miao put a bag in her basket, and she walked with her two children in her arms, and the three siblings were carrying too much and too much, and they walked very slowly.

She also knew Chen Tong thoroughly, this was what he wanted to eat, even if he was tired, he didn't shout, gritted his teeth and followed behind, and he had to be coaxed to come if there was anything in the future.

When they arrived at the sorghum field, Chen Miao stopped and gave his younger siblings a nest. It's almost a little bit and haven't eaten yet.
