suspected wife

When the siblings got home, they still went to the mountain to pull back the firewood picked up by the aunt and nephew.

Qiao Mingjin stopped picking firewood on the mountain today because he wanted to finish the remaining bamboo rakes.

After returning home and unloading the cattle, and stacking another load of firewood, Qiao Mingjin asked Mingheng to send over the money for selling eggs.He asked Ming Qi to take Wan'er to cook, while she buried herself in making the remaining bamboo rakes.

Yesterday, I only chopped a dozen bamboos, and only twenty or so bamboos can be used as bamboo rakes.

When Qiao Mingjin finished everything and was ready to process, polish, engrave, and paint, Mingheng came back.Followed by five or six children.

Three of them were consigned with eggs, the other three were sister Xiu's son Chang He, and the other was Su Shi's eldest son Xing He.Na Xinghe was holding a basket in one hand and holding his younger sister Yang Liu in the other.

"Third Aunt, this is a dish brought to you by Grandma and Niangrang."

Xinghe's grandmother Lu is the wife of Lao Yuetou's fourth brother, and Qiao Mingjin wants to call her fourth aunt.

Yue Xinghe is the eldest son of the Lu clan's eldest son, Yue Lixia, and the Su clan.

The Su family married into Yue's family and gave birth to a son and a daughter. Xinghe was five years old and Yangliu was three years old.That Yangliu is several months younger than Wan'er.

Lu's is different from Wu's, she is a very kind woman, and she is also generous.She usually takes good care of Qiao Mingjin and Wan'er.

On the other side, Changhe also put down the basket in his hand, and said, "Aunt Jin, I also have vegetables here. The ones I just picked were sent by my mother."

Although Sister Xiu's son, Changhe, was also surnamed Yue, because both Qiao Mingjin and Sister Xiu came from Yunjia Village, both of Sister Xiu's children called Qiao Mingjin "aunt".

Qiao Mingjin stood up and asked Mingheng to count the eggs while watching the dishes brought by the two children.

The two baskets are full of vegetables, which are very fresh, and it can be seen that they have just been picked from the ground.

Qiao Mingjin was very grateful.She has nothing to exchange now, so she can only accept these good intentions and repay them later.

After complimenting the two children a few words, he vacated the two baskets of vegetables and handed them the empty baskets.He raised his voice and called Wan'er: "Do you still have the candy that Mother bought for you? Go and get it for Yang Liu and the two elder brothers."

"There's more. Mother, Wan'er go get it!" After speaking, she ran into the room on her short legs.

After a while, he ran out again, spread out the paper bag in his hand, and handed out pieces of candy to Yangliu, Xinghe and Changhe, and the other three half-children who brought eggs were not left behind.

The daughter is getting more and more cheerful, and she is not stingy, and she doesn't have the problem of shallow eyelids.Qiao Mingjin looked very happy.

The three and a half older children were very embarrassed. Seeing Qiao Mingjin looking at them with a smile and giving them encouragement, they blushed and took it and put it in their mouths.

Although the sugar is not very good, the sugar content is enough.The children all raised the corners of their mouths to thank Qiao Mingjin.

In the kitchen, Ming Qi stuffed a handful of firewood into the stove, and ran out to talk to some children.

Qiao Mingjin was happy to see the two younger siblings mingle with the children in the village.

The children walked around the yard and then went back.He also said that he would come to play often in the future.

Children's friendship has always been simple, Ming Qi and Ming Heng are unfamiliar in the village, Qiao Mingjin also hopes that they will make more friends.

After the children left, Qiao Mingjin looked at Ming Heng and Ming Qi, who were holding straws and preparing to tie rice straws, and asked, "How many eggs did you collect today?"

"The three of them each took fifty. One of them brought sixty for his aunt. A total of 210."

Qiao Mingjin nodded.This egg is not a long-term business, and it is not a day's work to save so many eggs.I'm afraid it will take a long time to send it over next time.

Still have to find another way.

Of the 11 taels of silver today, ten taels were left in Yunjia Village to buy cattle, half of the taels were used to buy meat, and I paid [-] Wen for eggs.

She only has more than 600 texts on her body.

After making the bed, I have to buy bed nets, mattresses, quilt covers, replace the straw pillows, and make some simple furniture...

Today, the family of four still eat their meals on wooden basins that are closed.There is no table at home.

This is actually asking for money everywhere.

Qiao Mingjin quickened the movements in his hands.

I don't know how much these twenty or so bamboo rakes can sell for.In a few days, the rice, grain, oil and salt at home will also have to be bought again.

Qiao Mingjin only felt that her head was swollen badly.

When it was almost dark, Qiao Mingjin also finished the bamboo rake.

A total of 38 were made.Ten of the 38 bamboo rakes are short and thin.Originally, these ten were not intended to be sawed off, because they were not long enough and thick enough.

But Ming Qi dragged them over.Begged her to make a few small ones.Wan'er also shook her beside her and asked her to make a small bamboo rake for her.

Qiao Mingjin thought that the children of the farmers would help with the work when they were young, and that the bamboo rake was too long and thick, which might really not be good for them to use.Then they made twelve smaller ones according to Ming Qi's height.

There is no lettering, but some red plum blossoms are engraved.Simple yet cheerful.

Ming Qi and Wan'er were overjoyed when they saw it, and they shook her to let her also carve flowers on the small bamboo rake they both used.

Qiao Mingjin smiled and carved them for them.

In addition to engravings, a red rabbit was carved on Wan'er's bamboo rake, and a red pheasant was engraved on Ming Qi's bamboo rake.This made the two happy, hugged them in their arms and looked at them carefully, seeing how they looked, they wished they could hug and sleep.

Qiao Mingjin shook her head with a smile, tied 38 bamboo rakes to the cart, and picked up wooden barrels to fetch water from the well.

The water used for eating at home was brought back by her every night before dark.

In her past and present lives, she was not a qualified farming family, and the shoulder pole hurt sharply when she put it on.The buckets on both sides are filled with water, and one side can weigh fifty catties.

In addition, the wooden barrel itself is heavy, not as light as aluminum or plastic, and it can't compare with iron barrels.

And you have to keep your balance so they don't spill out.

This is really hard work, and it is still a technical job.

In the first two days, she swayed all the way, and the wooden barrel also swayed. When she picked it up at home, there were only half of the wooden barrels left on both sides.

And wet the skirt.During the night, my shoulders were still sore and the skin was worn out.

But she doesn't choose, what should I do with the draft water at home?Counting on three kids?It would be better to lift the pot and stove to the well.

After a few days of picking, she is now feeling better.The water is still sprinkled, but most of the buckets can still be picked up at home.

She admired Sister Xiu for carrying a load of water with ease, changing her shoulders with ease, talking to her with her head upright, holding a basket of vegetables in one hand, and talking with the other hand. dance.

She wanted to hold the pole or the wooden bucket with both hands, and her eyes still had to look at the road, so she couldn't lift her head up at all, and her body couldn't walk in a straight line.

Not much better than her first drive on the road.

That hand was holding on to the steering wheel, fearing that the steering wheel would be out of his hands.I wish I could stick my feet to the accelerator and clutch, my eyes are only on the road ahead, I don’t dare to turn on the music, and the people next to me don’t know what to say.When he arrived at the destination, his hands and feet were soft, his forehead was sweating, and his clothes were wet with sweat...

Let's dig a well in the yard if we make money.

Although the wells in the village are very convenient, for her, it is not much different from going to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures...
