Heartless Prince's Palm

Chapter 21 The New Quilt

This is the first big purchase after moving into the new house. Because of the earthquake, almost all the previous things were smashed. My mother sighed more than once, and she didn't do anything. There is only one oil lamp in several houses, and it is dark at night.

When Bai saw cotton, she was extremely rare. She had never covered it with a new quilt as far back as she could remember, and even used old ones when consummating the house.

"Why did you buy so many, do you want to make them for the whole family?"

Looking at the white kang, Mrs. Bai was wrong, thinking that there were three houses,
"This is the amount of five quilts, plus my milk, isn't it the whole family?"

"Five beds? Oh, how thick that is,"

She clicked her tongue in amazement, rolled up her sleeves, put a dense layer of yarn on the kang, and waffled the cotton little by little. This work must be done carefully, otherwise the quilt will be uneven.
"Mother, your craftsmanship is really good," Ye Xing praised sincerely, looking at the finished cotton tire,

"Hehe, my mother went to cloth village to do odd jobs when she was eight or nine years old, and she did a lot of work. Can this be done?"

Ye Xing couldn't help it when she heard her bring up the past.
"Why don't we go to grandma's house?"

Bai's face sank, she sighed softly,
"Mother's life is hard. Your grandmother passed away when you were three years old,"

Ah, even if grandma dies, what about grandpa?There should be family members.

"My father married a new wife again. She can't see her mother. When your uncle is born, your mother will become a small cabbage in the field. Fortunately, father and father-in-law have a good relationship. Your grandmother caught me with a glance,"

Bai Shi talked about the past, tears welled up in his eyes,
"What happened later? Did you marry Dad?"

"Later, when your grandfather went to serve in the army, and your grandmother's family was poor, and the promised dowry could not be paid, my stepmother would regret the marriage."

Ye Xing bit his lips tightly, and listened to Mother's continuation,

"She not only wants to regret the marriage, but also sells me to some shameful place!"

"hateful!"

"Your grandma got the letter in advance, borrowed all over the village, and finally got enough dowry. She asked me to be a child bride-in-law and pass the door right away. Hehe, it is reasonable for a child bride-in-law not to have so much dowry, but the stepmother took other people's dirty money and said nothing. ,"

"What about that man? Doesn't he care about his daughter's life?"

The word "Grandpa" is not worthy of that person.

"He hid out and ignored him."

"What did grandma do? How did she save you?"

"She went to the county government to beat the drums to complain. Because she was a woman, she was punished with ten sticks. Because she had a marriage certificate, she escaped from the devil's den."

It's no wonder that whenever a good bite is eaten, my mother will definitely send it to my grandmother first, such a mother-in-law is closer than my mother.

Ye Xing found out that grandmother's quilt must be more than five catties of cotton, much thicker than his parents' quilt. This is not a mistake, but full of family affection.

"Mother, Daddy Xing'er bought new cotton, feel the noisy ones, put this old quilt under your body, it will be softer when you sleep."

Mrs. Ye knew that they bought cotton. The little granddaughter is a small person. This year, she has opened up again. She has earned a lot of money just for the family. Now that the family is separated, it is nothing to eat and use. Who told others to earn money, but she never thought that she would also get a bed for herself.

"The second one, the cotton doesn't cost money. It's not like the old lady doesn't have a quilt. I've only made this bed for a few years?"

"Mother, it's wet and dry on the way, and it's not warm anymore. Feel it, this quilt is lined with fine cotton."

After the couple said this, Ye Xing ran to find Ye Yue, who was digging soil in the backyard.

"Sister, why do you think of digging in this cold day? Isn't it hard from the cold?"

"It's hard, why don't you try it? My grandma said that if you can dig a little bit, you can order leeks as soon as spring comes. Hey, have you ever eaten leek dumplings? Put some meat oil in the stuffing, it's delicious. .”

Speaking of this, Ye Xing's saliva almost came down. Although he ate dumplings a few times, they were all cabbage and radish. He wanted to die for leeks.

"You take a break, I'll dig!"

In addition to raising pigs and feeding chickens, the backyard has to be turned into a vegetable garden. Grandma said that in addition to food, it can also be sold in the town.

After digging for a while, both of them were exhausted and out of breath. Looking at the sun, it was almost noon.
"Sister, I bought you a gift in town, let's go, we will come back tomorrow."

"Why buy it for me, isn't it good to keep some money?"

This elder sister is not like my aunt, she treats her first and foremost, so Ye Xing is also very generous,
"Here, see if you like it?"

She bought rags from the cloth shop, which were weighed by weight, and there were all kinds of colors in them, which were the best materials for practicing female workers. She also had a set of embroidery tools and silk threads of various colors. Girls don't like it.

Ye Yue couldn't put it down, her eyes filled with tears,

"Little sister, how much money will it cost, you, how can you be willing?"

"Because of escaping, Ji Jili never helped you, so it just happens to make up for it now, as long as you like it."

Even if she is a village girl, it is a plus if she is good at sewing. Ye Yue has not settled on her husband's family yet, so there is still time to learn.

"Of course I like it, thank you Xing'er, my sister embroidered a pouch for you."

She touched those rags as if she was touching treasures, her heart was valued, and Ye Xing was also full of joy.

The family put on a new quilt, the third uncle and the others didn't think much about it, and the third aunt lay on the mother-in-law's quilt to feel it, and she couldn't stop praising her, but the uncle was sour in the room,
"The second child's family is really rich, hey, my mother won't secretly give them more money?"

"What are you thinking? What did mother do to the three of us, it was earned by the second child, why are you jealous? Xing'er even bought Yue'er an expensive gift, you mother can't even think of it."

"I want to buy it too, but I didn't do it for my daughter or Jili, but where is the money? What can I do with it?"

During this period of time, she was quite aggrieved. In the past, stirring a spoon in the same pot was the same, but now the second room smelled fragrant every day, how could she not be jealous?

"When spring comes, Awei will be one year older. If you follow me to find a job, are you afraid that you won't be able to earn money? Now that we have land, we will live a good life."

Ye Zheng was happily smoking the pipe. He never dreamed that he could own three acres of land. As long as he worked hard, he would never be hungry again.

Ye Xing was lying in the new quilt, the feeling he hadn't seen for a long time finally came back, and he no longer panicked under his body, hey, this is how people live.

Comfortable and comfortable, she inserted the door, and immediately returned to the space. As soon as she entered, she tied up her hair, took off her underwear, and changed into working clothes. The wheat in the space should also be harvested.

With the passage of time, the space land has grown a lot, but only one acre of food is planted, and the rest of the place is planted with peppers and other spices. After all, the money comes quickly.

She harvested the crops, put them in the open space to dry, and went to the thatched shed. She was too busy during this time, and she hadn't been there for a long time.

The door is still the same door, but the appearance inside has changed. Ye Xing was surprised. Since when there were a few more grain cabinets here, the grain from the past was piled up on the mat. Anyway, there are no rats inside, so no one is afraid of spoiling it.
