Chapter 49: Sewing quilts and planting vegetables
After returning home, Su Mo picked up the steamed mushroom-stuffed buns and put them in the space first, and ate two of them himself, and the dinner was ready.
Then he hurriedly washed the pot and boiled the water, and while the sky was still bright, he went to the well to fetch a few buckets of water and poured them into the kitchen tank.
After the water was hot, Su Mo took a bath with the water again, and after pouring out the bath water, she washed the clothes again.
Then I went back to the house and lit a kerosene lamp. First closed the wooden window at the back, and then pulled out a thick curtain from the space that I didn't know where to get it before, and hung it on the window next to the kang in the bedroom.
Then I took out a charging lamp, turned it on, and went outside the house to see if the light would be transparent. After confirming that the light would not be transparent, Su Mo returned to the house, closed the door of the house, took out a table lamp, turned it on, and in an instant, the room became bright.
Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief, finally no longer had to live the days of blind fire in the dark.
After resting for a while, Su Mo hurriedly dismantled the quilt she had sewn before, took out the quilt inside, replaced it with the quilt she brought with her in the last days, and sewed it again.
The quilt that was replaced was sewn with coarse cloth and sewn on.
Although it looks a little unsightly, this is not eye-catching in the cowshed, as long as it is warm enough.
The mattress was also made of coarse cloth and sewn on. In this way, the bedding for the parents' cowshed was available.
Then he took out a thinner quilt to replace the mattress here.
It's just that the quilts in later generations are still very different from now, and Su Mo put together some coarse cloth for the printed bed sheet bought by the supply and marketing cooperative, and also sewed a cover for the mattress. That way, there is no need to worry, someone will find out that her mattress is different.
The printed sheets, she washed them when she was a young man.
When he was done, Su Mo looked at the little coarse cloth left and smiled bitterly.
Inexperience is trouble. It seems that you have to buy another piece of coarse cloth, otherwise it will not be enough to be a padded jacket for one person.
After putting the sewn futon and coarse cloth into the space, Su Mo looked at the time, and it was already past ten o'clock.
So he lit the kerosene lamp, closed the table lamp, took off the curtains, and re-entered the space, and then blew the lamp and went to sleep.
When Su Mo sewed the futon, the second room of the Lu family's big room was not very calm.
After eating, Liu Yuzhi cut the two apples, and the three children were each half, and she and Lu Xingjun divided the remaining half.
The three children were so happy with such a delicious apple that they almost swallowed the apple core.
"This apple is strange and delicious, and I don't know where the third family bought it." Liu Yuzhi said.
It's not that they haven't eaten the apples of the supply and marketing cooperatives, and the taste is completely incomparable. I used to think that the apples sold by the supply and marketing cooperatives were delicious, but after eating this, the supply and marketing cooperatives were just like that.
"Where else can I buy it? It is either a commune supply and marketing cooperative, or a county supply and marketing cooperative. Lu Xingjun replied.
"When did you see the supply and marketing cooperatives selling such good things?" Liu Yuzhi didn't believe it.
"Occasionally, there are sometimes, and Xiaolan hasn't taken back a lot of good things before."
"That's different, I think the third family may have bought it in the market." Liu Yuzhi said in a low voice.
Lu Xingjun immediately sat up straight, "Don't talk nonsense, how can a woman from the third family have such courage." ”
Liu Yuzhi pursed his lips, "Look at it, although the third family looks delicate and weak, it is definitely not an ordinary person." ”
Lu Xingjun smiled, "Where can you tell that she is not an ordinary person?" ”
"If she is an ordinary person, the third child has such a high vision, and she can know her for a few days and be in a hurry to marry her home?"
"That's just as well." Lu Xingjun nodded, and then added, "The third child is good to our family, don't give the third family a thorn." ”
Lu Xingjun got the watch today, and it was the time to be happy in his heart.
"Nonsense, I still need you to say that you think I'm the idiot of the second family."
Unlike the calm of the big room, the second room is a bit of gunpowder.
Originally, two apples, half for a family of four, was fine, but Lu Guihua wanted to keep one to take to her mother's house.
The two boys could have eaten half of it for one person, but suddenly it became a quarter, and naturally they stopped doing it.
After a lot of trouble, in the end, the two boys were still one and a half. The remaining one is divided into two halves, Lu Weiguo and Lu Guihua are divided into half, and the remaining half Lu Guihua is taken back to her parents' house.
Lu Weiguo looked at his mother-in-law who was going to take half of the apples back to her parents' house, and suddenly regretted it in his heart.
He didn't listen to his parents' dissuasion at the beginning, and he had to marry Lu Guihua in life or death, was it really wrong?
It seems that what her mother said is right, if it weren't for her pressure, Lu Guihua would have been afraid that she would have emptied their house to her mother's house earlier. Now that the family is divided, no one cares, and even half of the apple has to be taken back to his parents' house.
Lu Weiguo suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
But the children have already given birth to two, what else can he do? I can only pay attention to it myself in the future.
*******
The next day, before six o'clock, Su Mo woke up.
After folding the futon, Su Mo hurriedly took out the floral cotton cloth, measured 4 feet and cut it out, and put it together with khaki and 2 catties of cotton.
After finishing this, I went out to wash up and go to the toilet, cleaned myself, and took two buns from the space for breakfast.
After eating, he began to pour vegetable seeds from the space, ready to plant the ground in the yard.
Radish and cabbage, that must be planted, and then Su Mo found the seeds of spinach, lettuce, cabbage and leek, and prepared to plant them together. These kinds of greens are relatively resistant to low temperatures, and lettuce is fast, so it can be harvested before the snow.
The land in the courtyard was divided into 8 pieces by Lu Changzheng, and Su Mo chose 4 relatively large pieces, sprinkled with cabbage and radish seeds respectively. She has a rough ore planting method, and when the seedlings grow, she just pulls out the excess.
For the other four, sprinkle seeds of spinach, lettuce, leeks and cabbage.
When Li Yue'e came over, she saw Su Mo watering the ground, and there seemed to be some grass ash sprinkled on the ground.
"The third family, what are you doing?"
"Mother, I'm watering, just sprinkled the vegetable seeds."
"Oh, what do you grow?"
"I planted some turnips and cabbage, and cabbage and spinach and lettuce."
Li Yue'e looked at the boxy land, and always felt that something was wrong, "How did you plant it?" ”
"Then he scattered the seed on the ground and sprinkled some ashes on it." Su Mo said.
Li Yue'e was shocked, "You also grow radish and cabbage like this?" ”
Su Mo nodded.
"Gee, you can't do that. You have to dig holes in turnip and cabbage, put a few seeds in each hole, sprinkle a handful of plant ash, and cover the soil. If you sprinkle it like this, it may not grow long, and even if it does, it will be too dense. ”
"It's okay, mother, you can grow. If it's too dense, I'll just pull out the excess when the time comes. "Someone else's may not be able to grow, hers must be able.
When Li Yue'e saw her say this, it seemed to make some sense, and she didn't say anything anymore.
When the time comes, if she doesn't have any food to eat, she will give her a little bit.
