Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 31 Space Harvest
"There are so many strange things." The second sister Qing Qiang is obviously not that easy to deal with, but she didn't pursue it. It is a good thing that the chickens and ducks in the family can lay eggs so much. It must be the credit of the little disciple Xi who caught the bugs yesterday. It seems that I will feed more and more in the future. insect.

"Mother, you can marinate the duck eggs, the oil will come out after a while, and give some to my little brother, he is only three years old, and he is thin and small."

Mo Qingqiang instantly credited her little disciple Xi with all the credit, but she didn't forget about Qingli, "Girl Li also eat a few more."

"Well, mother understands, but don't talk nonsense about the chickens and ducks at home." After collecting the eggs, Mrs. Liu did not forget to ask, "Hurry up and eat, you have to go to the mountains later."

Mrs. Liu looked at the sky and guessed that Mo Zishan would come to the door in a while, so she hurriedly put away the bowls and chopsticks, and the family gathered around to eat a delicious breakfast. Although the pickled cucumbers were a little salty, the pancakes were also good, especially with the addition of For sesame oil, she went to the mountains to pick wild chrysanthemums for a while, and then sent them to the town according to the little girl's instructions. She exchanged money to buy some meat to visit her in-laws, and sent a few more of her own eggs, and also gave the second elder a supplement. The body is good, the family is miserable, and there is no extra income throughout the year, and even the elders are also frugal. The mother-in-law is kind, and it was not a lot of work when the family was not separated a few years ago, and I will not be lazy when I can do work. She doesn't know how to beat and scold her daughter-in-law, and treats her like a daughter-in-law. Now seeing her mother-in-law lying in bed every day, she feels uncomfortable. Be filial to the elders.

After breakfast, Mrs. Liu took her second sister Qing Qiang and Mo Zishan to pick wild chrysanthemums on the mountain. Qingli was free at home and washed all the dishes and chopsticks. Because there was a bit of oil, the walls of the bowls were still greasy after washing with water. Yes, I had no choice but to learn from Mrs. Liu and grab a handful of plant ash in the stove, and after washing it several times, it was really clean.

Seeing that the water in the tank had decreased a lot, Qing Li secretly added some more. In the morning, she filled a bamboo tube with a lot of spiritual spring water for her mother, so that a sip of it can relieve fatigue after being tired on the mountain.

"Fourth sister, let's go catch bugs in the backyard. Feed more chickens to lay eggs."

The little disciple Xi walked around Qingli with his short legs, and when he saw that she was done, he blinked his big eyes and said innocently.

Here it is again, Qingli wiped the sweat that didn't exist on her forehead, because the chickens have laid a lot of eggs recently, and Mrs. Liu was not stingy, so she steamed three egg custards at night, and boiled a few more eggs in the morning, for Qingli and Zi They liked one for each person, and took three more, saying that they were eating on the mountain. Although the younger brother is young, he is already very sensible, thinking that chickens lay eggs like this because they are fed too many insects.

"Little brother, do you still want to drink fish soup, why don't you go fishing by the river with Fourth Sister!"

Mo Qingli doesn't want to catch any bugs, it's a waste of time, now that her mother and second sister are not here, she is free, and she still wants to go to the space to shovel the ground, just now I looked inside, and many vegetables are ripe , She still has to think about some bamboo poles and so on, and keep them in the space for later use.

Originally, Qingli wanted to go for a walk by the river by herself, pretending to go fishing, but she couldn't bear the heart of her little brother being alone at home. The folk customs in this era are simple, but in case there is a kidnapper, so she had better be cautious.

"Shall I go to the river, but my mother won't let me play there."

Zixi's eyes were full of longing, and he was very happy to hear that he could go fishing with Fourth Sister, but he remembered Liu's instructions, and he lowered his head uneasily and wrung his fingers, obviously he couldn't make up his mind.

"Little brother, stay away from the river, there may be grasshoppers in the grass now, you can catch them for fun." Mo Qingli continued to coax, "Look at the fourth sister caught fish, our family will have fish soup again at night! "

Seeing the younger brother's promise, Qingli prepared the simple fishing rod that Mrs. Liu made yesterday, carrying a small bamboo basket with a cover on it. In fact, it was just to cover up, so as to save the fish from being seen by the gossip women in the village. Blah blah blah blah blah.

The riverside is not too far from home, the siblings walked one after the other, and Qing Li looked back at her younger brother from time to time, for fear that he might lose him.

"Ah, isn't this ugly, what are you doing?"

A sharp-eyed middle-aged mistress with big red flowers in a red silk skirt yelled directly when she saw Qingli.

"Oh, ma'am, I'll take my younger brother to play by the river."

Qingli pretended to be polite, she didn't know this aunt, but she was wearing a big red flower on her hair, and a bright red lip balm, her face was covered with white powder, and she would fall down when she spoke. She lost her face, and her speech was twisted and twisted. This face is the authentic ancient version of a matchmaker.

The second sister, Qing Qiang, once gave her popular science, and she should not offend the matchmaker if she offends anyone. People from all over the world rely on their mouths to talk about each other. If they talk about something bad, the reputation of the girl's family will be ruined. Ugly girl, don't have any bad reputation. The most important thing for a girl is to be diligent and courteous.

"Hey, I can watch my brother at such a young age."

"hey-hey."

Qingli didn't know what to say, so she had to laugh a few times awkwardly. In modern times, love is free, and even a blind date is about getting to know each other. Those who are deceived, the deaf and the blind can say that they have good facial features, but they will suffer.Although she knew that she would definitely not look like this in the future, and she didn't want to stay in the village forever, but she was afraid of affecting the reputation of her parents, so she had to endure it, otherwise, the name "ugly girl" would be enough to make her furious.

Saying goodbye to the matchmaker, the little disciple ran a few steps happily, caught up with Qingli and asked, "Fourth sister, did that weird lady just paint white flour on her face? Daddy said to use a kind of fine flour. It’s white and very thin, that’s what white flour steamed buns are made of.”

Seeing the doubts on her younger brother's face, Qing Li stood up smiling, "No, that is rouge and gouache, which is specially rubbed on the face."

"Oh." The younger brother nodded half-understanding, because it seems that mother doesn't have that thing.

Qingli didn't know what the little brother was thinking, she suddenly felt that the kind of rouge applied to the face was really no different from white face, it was pale and pale, if it was a red dress at night, with a white face, it would be authentic Liaozhai version of female ghost.

All the way to the river, Qingli was thinking about such a profound question. Seeing that the younger brother was obediently catching grasshoppers in the grass, she simply threw the hook into the river and made a fishing pose. Actually, she didn’t even have the bait Unprepared, at this moment she is concentrating on checking the space.

In the space, the fish that were put in yesterday have grown a lot, and the half-foot-long fish have grown a few inches. The Lingquan pool is not big, but it is packed full of them. It is necessary to get out the big ones. , otherwise the fish would not be able to swim at this growth rate.On the two acres of land in the space, some vegetables can already be harvested, such as eggplant, tomato, and pumpkin, but because there is no pole to climb, they grow all over the ground, and the rest can’t see the fruit. They should be in the soil. Know whether it is peanuts or potatoes, sweet potatoes.
