suspected wife

"Mom, is there something wrong?"

Seeing her mother dragging her aside, Qiao Mingjin faltered and asked a little strangely.

"Jin Niang, do you still need someone? You see, you have to take care of the family affairs, take care of Wan'er, take care of collecting piles, and instruct others to do things. Can you be busy? "

Qiao Mingjin glanced at her mother, and said, "Mom, why are our mothers becoming outsiders? Why can't you tell your daughter what's going on?"

Mother Qiao glanced at her, and then said: "Actually, it's your third aunt's business. You also know that your third uncle was originally out to help others manage the farm, but now the family's farm has been sold, and the new The head of Zhuangtou didn’t want to see your third uncle, and the manager he was looking for was his own, so your third uncle and your two cousins ​​came back home. You also visited their village when you were young, and it was all stones In Shaluo, the fields are not even a few acres. Your aunt’s family only has an acre of land, and your eldest cousin is gone now, and he hasn’t saved enough money to marry a wife. There is still an old mother lying in bed in his family .Now the father and son are thinking about looking for work everywhere."

Seeing Qiao Mingjin's listening expression, he said, "Your grandma just asked me to ask if you want someone else. They are all relatives of the family, and they all know the bottom line. You also know your third uncle's temperament. The most important thing is Honest man. Even your two cousins ​​are very similar to your uncle, and they are both people who only know how to contribute. They don't spend their time. Otherwise, they can always save some money by helping others manage the farm all these years. If If you want to invite someone here, you can see what kind of work they can do. Family relatives, who is not invited? It can also help your aunt and uncle."

Qiao Mingjin thought of her third aunt.

Her third aunt, Yunni, is her mother's third younger sister.Qiao Mingjin's grandmother gave birth to two sons and two daughters.There are two sons at the head and tail, and two daughters in the middle. Her mother is the second child, and her aunt is the third child, and her maiden name is Yunni.

I just married in Songshanji, and the next village is just one village away.

Her uncle's name is Weber, and her father died when she was young, and her widowed mother brought him up alone, and suffered a lot.

Webb's uncle didn't reach out to the mother and son either.After his father died, the family was separated, and the mother and son were not given anything, not even an acre of land.It's like five or six cents, and her mother expanded it to an acre with one hand and one foot.

Mother Wei is very strong, relying on land reclamation.Doing oar washing for people is just to support him.When he was still young, he went around begging around the city behind his back, and the mother and son survived.

Xu Shi worked too hard when he was young, and has been lying in bed in a semi-paralyzed state since a few years ago.

When Qiao Mingjin's third aunt, Yunni, was discussing marriage, the matchmaker introduced several families, including Wei Bo, the only son of the Wei family.

At that time, Qiao Mingjin's grandparents thought that Wei Bo was able to endure hardships and was filial.The family is also simple, and the mother-in-law is kind.No one was angry with their daughter.The most important thing is that the two villages are not far apart, so he married Yunni to him.

Qiao Mingjin's grandparents thought that the two daughters would be close by, one would marry in the village, and the other would live in the next village.If there is something to do, I will arrive as soon as I lift my foot, and I will be able to take care of me in the future.

That Weber is indeed a good one, since Yunni married.Don't say everything is obedient to Yunni, but they are also loving husband and wife.A happy family.

However, their village is all Shitou Ridge, with many rocks and little land. Many people in the village go out to lead jobs, and some of them are almost the whole family.

Only the Wei family had an old mother lying on the bed, and Qiao Mingjin's third aunt stayed at home to take care of the old man.

Her third aunt had two sons and a daughter with Na Weber.The eldest son Wei Jinhu is 16 years old this year, the second son Wei Yinbao is 14 years old, and the youngest daughter Wei Hongli is less than [-] years old.

These years, Uncle Wei has been taking his two sons to help with work in the rich man's farm outside.The father and son lived frugally, and received a lot of wages. If there was not an old mother in the family, the current situation of the family should be very good.

It's just that the money earned is only enough for Wei's mother to take medicine and see a doctor.

That Wei Jinhu has reached the age of marriage, but in such a situation at home, no one is willing to come to the door. He found a few matchmakers and introduced a few girls, but the girls shook their heads when they heard the situation in his family.

Once a big girl with a yellow flower is married in, it is equivalent to serving two mothers-in-law. The old woman also has to serve excrement and urine, serve tea and water at all times, and can't even go out of the door. There must be someone in the house at all times.And the husband is often away from home.

Where is anyone willing?

Qiao Mingjin also knew the situation of her third aunt's house, but she didn't know that the father and son had already returned home.

After listening to Mother Qiao's words, she thought for a while and said to Mother Qiao: "Mother, it is certain that you need to hire someone. It's just not so fast. Because you have to arrange someone to live in, and now the four rooms in the house are full. I can’t let my uncle and two cousins ​​live in the yard. I’ll have to wait for a while, I’ll see the situation first. It’s going to be a bit difficult for me to do this now. It’s a waste of time It’s also long. So I may find someone to cooperate with. At that time, I may need a lot of people. At that time, I will ask Cousin Yunjin to notify Third Aunt.”

After hearing this, Mother Qiao asked Qiao Mingjin about the situation.

With Qiao Mingjin's words, he had no choice but to do so first.It's true that my daughter doesn't have that condition here. They are all relatives of her own family, so she can't let people build a grass shed to live in the yard.

He chatted with Qiao Mingjin for a few more words, just to make Qiao Mingjin pay attention to his body or something.It made Father Qiao think she was nagging, and urged her beside the ox cart.Only then did Mother Qiao turn around and go back with Father Qiao and the others...

On the same day, Qiao Mingjin entrusted sister Xiu and his wife to dig the well at home.That Yue Dalei was a well-informed man, he told everyone about everyone in Shanghe Village on the spot, his work was beautiful and practical, he had already helped people dig a lot of wells, and the most real thing was that there was plenty of water coming out of them.

Since everyone was busy, Qiao Mingjin had no choice but to let sister Xiu go to invite someone.

Sister Xiu is also idle at home now, and her family doesn't have a few acres of land, so she will be idle after planting.Now I can get things to do and get money.I don't know how happy my husband is still around.Every day there is a smile that can't be kept on his face, and the eyes that look at Yue Dalei are full of love.

Hearing that her man had asked someone to come to dig a well, she immediately volunteered and said that she would go to Shanghe Village to invite someone tomorrow. Qiao Mingjin was very moved by her aggressive look.

After a brief explanation, they parted ways.

The next day, the first batch of wooden piles dug in the village were about to be dug out one after another, so someone came to ask Qiao Mingjin to see and evaluate the value.

Because sister Xiu went to Shanghe village.Qiao Mingjin took Father He to the mountain to see it.

The dozen or so wooden stakes on the mountain that were enclosed by her at first have been divided into the hands of people close to her.Now after a few days of excavation, it has been opened up one after another.

The first one has already been dug.

Because Qiao Mingjin's requirements are quite high, the roots must be complete, and the root system must not be damaged, and the wooden stakes in the circle are a bit big, and it took several days to dig out the first wooden stake.It wasn't until today that I finally dug it out.

There was a large earth pit that had been dug on the ground in the forest, and the wooden stake hadn't been pulled out yet, and it was still in the pit.

It is a wooden stake left after a beech log has been felled.

Beech is a tree species in the south, and the northerners call it south elm.But it is not considered hardwood, it is not as hard as mahogany, huanghuali and other woods, and it is not as precious as mahogany and other woods.But in ordinary wood.Its hardness is still at the upper-middle level.

Because it has good load-bearing capacity and high pressure resistance.Beech wood is often used in shipbuilding and bridge building.And because it is strong, compressive, and easy to bend and shape when it is under steam or heated, it is more suitable for some modeling and artistic creation.

Although beech wood is light in color and not a valuable wood, Qiao Mingjin still built several beech wood stakes because of its various advantages.

As for what shape to make.You have to wait until you dig it out, look at the root system and then look at the overall situation before you can decide.

This wooden root carving creation.Still have to pay attention to a natural form.Do some processing on its own shape, so as not to make people feel that it is made after tomorrow, so as to fully reflect its value.

So this is why Qiao Mingjin can only set the price based on the appearance after digging out.

Just look at the current beech stake.Qiao Mingjin was both happy and worried.

She didn't expect that the cut surface of more than one foot exposed on the ground would have such a well-developed root system after digging out, and the bottom would be so dense and big.

In addition, the beech itself is heavy, so the digging has been done, but how can we get it out?

Qiao Mingjin couldn't help feeling a little worried.

She was very satisfied with the wooden post. Looking at the dug wooden post, Qiao Mingjin thought of several image shapes the moment she saw it. I believe that if it is really made, it will be extraordinary.

Just how to get out of it?

The beech stake was dug out by the family of Zhang Shi and Zhang Hehua, the daughter-in-laws who are close friends with Qiao Mingjin in the village.

This lotus is a few years older than Qiao Mingjin. She married Yue Genfa from the village. They had two sons and a daughter. The eldest son is eight years old.On weekdays, I often come to Qiao Mingjin's house with Mrs. Su, and every time I come, I bring some vegetables grown at home.

Zhang Hehua's parents-in-law are also open-minded and kind, and they are also very kind to Mrs. Zhang, and they also like Xiao Wan'er. The vegetables brought to Qiao Mingjin are all picked by her mother-in-law in the vegetable field and sent by Mrs. Zhang.

After Qiao Mingjin circled the wooden stakes to be dug, she asked sister Xiu to find their house.Their family took three.Then the family, and her husband's second younger brother's family went up the mountain to dig.

Mrs. Zhang watched Qiao Mingjin circle around the wooden stake, thinking that Qiao Mingjin was dissatisfied with the wooden stake, and felt very uneasy.This job of digging wooden piles is not easy to do. The whole family has been digging for several days from morning to night, and their feet have blisters.

But don't just accept it as firewood in the end.

"Jinniang, isn't this wooden stake suitable?" Mrs. Zhang asked a little nervously. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
