After the land was planted, the team gave everyone a day off to rest, and everyone was tired and panicked after a month of rushing to plant.

It is rare to rest, and there is a big sun, and the women in the village are busy with their work, and they have dismantled the quilts that have been covered for a winter, washing what should be washed, and drying what should be sunned.

It was also the weekend, so Su Mo walked around to Lu's house.

When Li Yue'e saw Su Mo coming, she asked, "Xiao Mo, have you dismantled and washed the quilt?" "This belly is so big, if she didn't get it, she would have helped.

"It's been dismantled." Su Mo said that the last time Lu Changzheng was resting, she asked him to dismantle and wash it, and he also dried it while no one was drying.

"What about the pulp?"

"Huh?" Su Mo didn't understand.

"This quilt, after washing, it will be pulped. In this way, the quilt is straight, slippery, the quilt surface is still strong, dirt-resistant, not easy to penetrate the dust, and easy to wash, not easy to wash. ”

"And that said? I haven't slurred. "Su Mo didn't say that she hadn't seen it, she hadn't heard it, she was very curious.

"Mother will be pulp for a while, you watch. If you think it's good, my mother will come over and help you get it later. Li Yue'e knew that Su Mo had definitely never seen it, and there seemed to be very few quilts in big cities.

This starched clothes and quilt cover are durable and durable, and they are not easy to break.

"Okay." Su Mo nodded, sat next to Li Yue'e and chatted with her.

When the quilt cover was almost seven or eight minutes dry, Li Yue'e was busy.

First boiled the pot of hot water, and then boiled the paste in the pot with good starch hot water, and when it was almost boiled, I took an enamel basin and put it up.

The paste was not too thick, and Su Mo looked slightly viscous than the pimple soup.

Put the quilt cover into the kang and spread it out, Li Yue'e brought the paste in, and rolled the quilt cover with a little bit of pulp until the whole quilt cover was finished. After the pulp, you have to keep beating to let the paste penetrate the cloth.

Then take it out to dry, and when it was almost dry, Li Yue'e asked Liu Yuzhi to come over and take the handle, and the two of them grabbed one side of the quilt and pulled it hard to flatten the quilt.

After finishing the stretching, Su Mo took a look, it was indeed quite upright, almost the same as the irons of later generations, and it was a little cool to the touch, and it was indeed quite slippery.

Su Mo is also a long insight, she used to read ancient novels, always wrote about pulp washing clothes, she still thought about washing clothes, why should she wash with pulp, it turns out that this is "pulp".

"How? Do you want to help you with the pulp over there? Li Yue'e asked.

"Third brother and sister, it's still pulp. When your child is born, the bedding will get dirty quickly, and it will be easy to wash when the pulp is finished. Liu Yuzhi said with a smile.

Lu Xingjun was admitted to work at the credit station last month, and the person who can receive a salary is a big customer for her family. The more deposits this absorbs, the higher her man's year-end bonus will be.

After the idea was opened, the relationship between the big house and the second room also eased a lot. In order to support his eldest brother, Lu Weiguo also saved 100 yuan.

Su Mo also saved 500 yuan, which should be used to support the work of the big house. When it's time to leave, just take it all out.

Su Mo looked at it and felt that it was very fresh, and felt that it was okay to try the pulp, but when the cover was not used to it, it would be washed off again.

"That's hard work."

"It's not hard." Li Yuele went over to help Su Mo.

was boiling the paste, Lu Changzheng came back, and when he saw his mother cooking the paste, he asked what he wanted to do, and when he heard that he wanted the paste, he quickly objected.

"Daughter-in-law, don't pulp, after pulping, the quilt will be hard, not to mention that it will be cold when it is covered, and it will not be covered tightly."

It's okay in the summer, but it's really leaky in the winter. I finally slept on the quilt softly, and it was time to disassemble and wash it in the summer.

Li Yue'e was so angry that she raised the spoon and wanted to hammer Lu Changzheng's hammer, "The quilt cover is dirty and durable, otherwise it will be washed twice in three days, and the quilt cover will not be washed." ”

This loser thing, how rare it is to distribute tickets now.

"If it's broken, just sew it, you're done with this slurry, the cover is not breathable in summer, and the cover leaks up and down in winter." Lu Changzheng is resolutely disagreeing.

His daughter-in-law hadn't seen it, so she probably thought it was good to have a pulp, but it was actually uncomfortable to cover. There was no way to live a hard life before, and his family's conditions were not so bad that he couldn't afford to change them.

In the end, the quilt was not pulped, and the paste was added with some sugar, and Li Yue'e took it back for the children to eat.

*******

It's June.

The main farm work in June is rice topdressing, shallow irrigation, and moderate and timely drying of the field; There are also wheat, corn, soybean and other dry field crops of subsoiling, topdressing and weeding; Then it's time to catch insects and weeds.

This is a slack period for croppers. And at this time, it gets dark late, and after work every day, there are more people going up the mountain.

Most of them go to pick wild vegetables, such as willow sprouts and thorny old sprouts, which are frequent guests at the dinner table in May and June.

A small part of them are trying their luck and maybe pick up a stone with gold grains. Since the announcement of the gold mine here, some people have gone up the mountain from time to time to look for it, and some people have really found it and sold it for a lot of money.

Geng Changqing was born in June, and on his birthday, he received a call from Su Tingde.

The brothers first exchanged news in secret words, and then Su Tingde changed his words, "Changqing, you are thirty-one, and it is time to consider personal problems." ”

This younger brother is good at everything, but he doesn't want to start a family, and he wonders if he has ever been hurt emotionally.

Since he was 25 years old, he has said it every year, but every year has not come to fruition.

When he was in Haishi before, he could still give introductions to him, but in the north, he didn't have any connections there, so he couldn't use any strength.

Geng Changqing's scalp tightened, and it was the time to urge marriage every year.

"Big brother, the matter has not been resolved yet, and I will not consider personal problems for the time being."

"This has nothing to do with your starting a family. You're not small, really, if you have a suitable object, it's time to think about it. "They are just too far away, otherwise there are a few good ones in Fu Manhua Hospital.

Geng Changqing touched the cold sweat, and finally finished dealing with Su Tingde, and just hung up the phone, the old leader called again.

has the same purpose as Su Tingde, and he is also here to urge marriage. Moreover, the old leader not only urged, but also asked for a candidate, and ordered him to go to see each other in two days.

After Geng Changqing hung up the phone, he smiled bitterly.

He really didn't have the intention of starting a family, but it was not good to brush off the kindness of the old leader.

I hope that the other party is a sober and good comrade, and just make it clear to the other party when the time comes. It's really that when I was in Haishi before, I was scared.

At that time, Su Tingdetuo introduced him to several people, and one of them he clearly explained to others, did not consider personal problems for the time being, and had no plans to get married, but the other party still pestered him for a long time, and from time to time he came to a chance encounter, which really annoyed him.

Fortunately, he was transferred here later, otherwise I don't know how long he would have been pestered.
