suspected wife

When they came in, Qiao Mingjin had already suppressed some of her emotions, so she stood up and said to them with a sneer, "It's okay. Maybe it's because I didn't eat much at noon, and my stomach is a little twitching."

When Yun Jinxiu and the three young wives heard this, their faces were full of sympathy.

Sister Xiu looked at her worriedly, and said: "You have come out to live alone, and you have a child with you. Although Mingheng and Mingqi are helping you, they are still children. You can't do anything, otherwise this What can the family do?"

The sympathy on the faces of the three young daughters-in-law grew stronger, were they actually hungry?

Otherwise, they would not have the courage to come out and live alone with a child.That Yue family is really a wicked person, after four years of hard work, they just waited for this result!

Look at the tears all over his face, he must be very hungry and in pain.

One of the youngest daughters-in-law is Su Shi, the eldest son of Lao Yuetou's fourth younger brother's family. She used to be able to talk to Qiao Mingjin very well, so she persuaded her and said, "Mother Jin, you have to be more careful. Since you have brought the child out of the house , just think more about the child. If something happens to you, what will Wan'er do? No one in that family really loves her."

After speaking, he looked angry.Thinking about finding an opportunity to talk to my father-in-law, let him talk to the second uncle, how can this be done by humans?Wan'er is still a descendant of their Yue family.

After hearing this, Qiao Mingjin smiled and nodded at her: "Thank you, sister-in-law. I'm fine. I'll be fine in a while."

He wiped his face as he spoke, then leaned over and hugged Wan'er in his arms, coaxing: "Don't be afraid, Wan'er, mother is fine."

Wan'er lay on her mother's shoulders and cried so much that her shoulders shrugged.Ming Qi and Ming Heng also tugged at Qiao Mingjin's sleeves from left to right, wiping away tears.

Sister Xiu and the three daughters-in-law looked at each other, and they all stepped forward to comfort them.

Qiao Mingjin quickly recovered her expression, and after a while, she completely calmed down.Talk to them about business again.

The three of them followed Sister Xiu to deliver the eggs.

The Su's family raised more chickens and sent more chickens, totaling more than eighty.He said to Qiao Mingjin: "Just pay me eighty. The four will be cooked for a few children."

Qiao Mingjin didn't hesitate, and quickly thanked her.

The other two young daughters-in-law were fifty each. Seeing Su's style, they also said: "You can also give some to the children. The eggs are all laid by your own chickens, and they are not worth much."

One of these three people is the eldest daughter-in-law of Lao Yuetou's fourth brother's family, one is sister Xiu's neighbor named Zhang, and the other is Su's neighbor Fang.

None of these three people have separated families, and they all have in-laws. Qiao Mingjin couldn't accept their kindness, so she declined, "No need, there are a few eggs from my cousin, sister-in-law Xiu also gave a few yesterday, enough to eat." That's it. It's not easy for you to save some eggs. Don't worry, I will help you sell them tomorrow."

Several people chatted with her for a while, and told her to take care of her body before getting up and leaving.

After the four left, the three children still surrounded her and refused to move a step.

Qiao Mingjin looked at it and sighed, and said: "Ming Qi, go cook, it's getting late, and my sister is also hungry. Ming Heng, go to the firewood room to see if there is any straw that was used to build the roof last time?" Get a bundle out."

Ming Qi thought that Qiao Mingjin was really hungry, so he immediately turned around and went to the kitchen to cook.Ming Heng also turned around and went to the woodshed to fetch straw, only Xiao Wan'er followed her closely, holding on to the hem of her clothes.

Qiao Mingjin moved a small stool for her daughter to sit beside her.

"Sister, what do you want straw for?"

Mingheng brought a large bundle of straw over and put it on the ground.He didn't dare to take a step away, so he squatted beside him and looked at Qiao Mingjin.

Qiao Mingjin glanced at the straw while answering him: "My sister wants to use straw to weave an egg tray to hold the eggs, so that the eggs will not be afraid of being beaten no matter how far they are transported."

She just remembered it too.

She can't make styrofoam like egg trays.

But she remembered the Eighteen Monsters in Yunnan that she had heard about in her previous life, and said that "eggs were sold on skewers".

It is said that there are many mountainous areas in Yunnan, and the mountain people carry eggs to the market to sell. In order to prevent the eggs from being broken on the road, they bundle them with hay and sell them on skewers.In this way, collisions are avoided and the eggs are not damaged.

Moreover, there are five or six eggs in a bunch. When you choose to buy them, you don’t need to look at the sun one by one to see if they are good or bad. You can look at five together, which saves time and worry.

She can't make an egg tray now, but she can still make a straw tray.

I grabbed a dozen straws in my hand, straightened them up, folded them in the middle, and pulled another straw to tie the ends into a bunch.Then stuff it with eggs.

Every time one is stuffed, another bundle is tied horizontally with straw, another egg is placed, and another bundle is tied horizontally.Such a string of straw can hold five or six eggs.After being strung together, it looks like a long string of candied haws, and also like the girl with ponytails in the previous life. In order to prevent it from falling apart, a rubber band is tied on top of it at intervals.

In this way, no matter how many eggs are stacked on top, the bottom eggs will not break.Left and right will not collide together.

Mingheng saw it and was overjoyed, and shouted: "Wow, sister, how did you think of it? This is a great idea!"

Xiao Wan'er was also clapping beside her: "Mother is the most powerful!"

In the end, even Ming Qi was yelled at by the uncle and nephew so that he ran out of the kitchen to watch the excitement. Seeing that his hands were itchy, he went in with a bundle of straw and made straw trays while cooking.

180 eggs were skewered in a short while.

Ming Qi and Ming Heng were still a bit overwhelmed, looking everywhere to see if the eggs were missing.He strung up the eggs that Sister Xiu and Mrs. Su gave him to eat and hung them at the door of the kitchen. The three of them clapped their hands and stood watching from a distance. Qiao Mingjin just wanted to laugh.

Eggs strung with straw in this way can't be heard even if they are thrown into the basket.No matter how much it shakes, it can't be broken.

Ming Heng was very happy, and happily took Xiao Wan'er to arrange them in the basket one by one, so that they could be sold tomorrow.

When traveling to Yunnan, I often see locals selling them with strings of hard-boiled eggs.If the straw is cleaned up, it can be thrown into the pot as a whole and boiled.Then take a bunch of them and eat them as dry food on the road.

It's just that in this era, very few people use eggs as dry food.

Otherwise, guarding a famous mountain and ancient scenic spot, selling skewered eggs is also a fresh job.

After the eggs were skewered, Qiao Mingjin continued to get the bamboo rake.

It's just that I don't have a carving knife at hand, I can't carve characters on the bamboo rake, and I don't have oil or paint to make the characters more prominent.

Forget it, it's getting dark today, and I can't finish it in a while, and I can't afford to burn the lamp oil.I'll wait until I buy the red paint tomorrow, and then I'll buy a small carving knife and do it again.

Qiao Mingjin thought about it, so she moved them to the woodshed, and then went to wash her hands and eat...

At night, because the three children were scared by Qiao Mingjin, even Mingheng wanted to sleep in her room with pillows.

Qiao Mingjin had no choice but to sleep on the same bed with the four of them lying sideways.

The bed board is still a bit lower from the ground, and even though it is covered with a mattress, you can still feel the moisture rising up your back.It is better to save money to buy two beds. The three children are still young and their bodies are weak. If they sleep for a long time, they will be exposed to too much moisture.

The four talked for a long time before falling into a deep sleep...

What Qiao Mingjin didn't know was that sister Xiu and the three young daughter-in-laws went out of her house together, and after each of them looked at each other, they could see the deep sympathy in each other's eyes.In my heart, I was scolding Lao Yuetou's family for doing too much.

After returning home separately, they told their own family members again, which aroused the sympathy of the four families.Usually, the four families took good care of Qiao Mingjin's mother and daughter, and often went to the field to pull fresh vegetables for the children at home to deliver.

Later, after these people's publicity, most people in the village heard that after Qiao Mingjin left Yue's house, she was so hungry that she couldn't eat!A woman with a child has to go up the mountain to cut firewood, and has to rush to the city to sell at starry nights. She has no land and no land, saves food for the child, and she is so hungry that she cries...

After hearing this, the villagers were full of sympathy for the mother and daughter.

When we saw each other, I was very enthusiastic and asked about my health.If there are extra vegetables or sweet potatoes and other miscellaneous grains at home, some will be sent over.Occasionally, when the villagers saw Wan'er's three children, they would stuff an egg or some homemade food for the children.

Not only the eggs were sent to her for sale, but the chickens, ducks and other things were also entrusted to her to sell in the city, so that she could make a few small money.

Such a result surprised Qiao Mingjin.Even after she made money, no one said anything wrong...

ps: Thank you "I don't know how to work" and "Xin Ni" for their rewards.kisses
