Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 30
Ning Liang was very happy to be able to plant the land before the spring rain, "What a coincidence!"

Planting the ground before the spring rain not only saves effort, but also the seeds just buried in the ground will be soaked by the rain, and sprouts will sprout within a day or two, which is the best time for farming.

Yu also said with a smile: "This year is the year of the horse, the snow will be thicker than usual in the winter, and now it will rain heavily in Guyu. It will definitely be a good year!"

There is a popular saying in Sanjia Village - the year of the ox and horse is good for plowing.That is to say, when the Year of the Ox and the Year of the Horse meet in the calendar, the weather will usually be smooth and the crops will be bumper.

"The words passed down from generation to generation are reasonable," Ning Liang nodded in agreement, and then discussed with Yu, "Let's invite eldest brother to come to our house for a drink."

Uncle Ning did not spare any effort in his work. He was tall and strong. One person could do as much work as two, and his two sons could also do it. The three sons helped Ning Liang turn over the land in the big house and sow the seeds again. After more than ten acres, Ning Liang planted the last few acres by himself, and he hurriedly planted a few acres of his own land, so the land of the two houses was planted almost at the same time.

Yu naturally agreed, "It's just that there is no food at home, and I can't go to the town to buy meat in heavy rain."

"My brothers are more casual, don't need to be so troublesome."

Mrs. Yu boiled a few salted eggs, cut them into a plate, fried a bowl of eggs with sauce, and then added two kinds of wild vegetables, a handful of green onions that grew first in the field, a plate of pickled vegetables, and a box of dim sum. Pretending to be the same, a pot of sorghum wine was heated and set aside.

The two Ning brothers sat opposite each other on the kang table and began to drink. Yu brought his two daughters to eat at the other table, and after a while they took the table away and went to the Westinghouse to make money for needles, so that their brothers could talk.

Uncle Ning is a silent person, and his father is not very good at talking, so the two of them drink silently most of the time. Compared with the lively atmosphere when Shopkeeper Liu came, Yu and his two daughters could not hear them at all. sound.

He drank the wine quickly and quickly, although he warmed up another pot of wine, after a while, Uncle Ning drank too much and staggered back home, the two houses were next to each other, so there was no need to see each other off.Hearing the voice, Mrs. Yu rushed over to look at the door, and said, "Brother, go slowly." The people over there had already entered the house.

Ning Liang returned to the kang after sending his eldest brother off, but he was a little shaky, "I also drank too much."

Yu said: "You brothers are drinking together, what's the rush? It's raining outside, and you can't work, just drink slowly and talk."

"Brother, you don't know that temper."

Yu Shi laughed after thinking about it, "Actually, you are the same too."

Ning Liang also laughed, but said: "The land is planted, once the rain stops, I will go up the mountain with Wan'er, and the cat's claw vegetables should also grow by then."

Seeing that Uncle Ning was gone, Ning Wan followed her mother over to do needlework. On this rainy day, the only way to relieve boredom was to do needlework.He laughed after hearing what his father said, "Dad, take a good rest for two days, the cat's claws will always grow after this rain."

Mother also laughed, "Look at your father's anxiety. It's not like you have to wait for two days. With such a heavy rain, even if it clears up, the ground is also very muddy. You have to wait a long time before you can go into the mountains."

Dad laughed at himself, "I don't want to pick cat's claws earlier!" After a while, he fell asleep on the kang and snored evenly.

Yu Shi covered him with a quilt, and said to Ning Wan with a smile: "It's time for your father to recover from his fatigue."

Ning Wan also nodded. During the spring plowing this year, she was very tired just in charge of cooking and delivering meals. Dad was much more tired than herself plowing and sowing, so it was time to take a good rest.

Mrs. Yu took out a green cloth skirt that she had made for Ning Wan in the past few days and showed her to try, "You always said that you want to go to the county town with your father, so you must wear a skirt, lest people make fun of you." Then she told her, " After wearing a skirt, you have to be careful when walking, the skirt moves too much when you move, it doesn’t look good.”

In fact, Ning Wan has worn skirts for many years. In fact, when she just woke up, she was still a little uncomfortable wearing leg pants, but she only nodded in agreement.Seeing that mother took Ning Qing's dowry cloth to make a skirt for herself, she had already guessed what was going on in her heart, but she refused to take the initiative to speak, waiting for mother to speak.

Sure enough, Mother said again, "Qing'er took the initiative to take out this cloth to make you a skirt. After all, you are sisters, and she always misses you in everything." At this point, the words stopped again.

Ning Qing was really calculating, she wanted to exchange a sarong for a nice gift from the Lu family, but this was exactly what she could do.Ning Wan had been on guard for a long time, so even she only said that the gold jewelry was lent to her mother, not given, I'm afraid Ning Qing would try to coax it away.Seeing that my mother was so excited, I still didn't want to embarrass my mother, so I said: "Everyone eats the snacks given by the Lu family; I have some uses for those gold jewelry and silks, and I didn't plan to touch them at first. , but since Mother is speaking for Second Sister, I will take out two bolts of silk and make clothes for everyone, and the rest will not be used anymore!"

The day before yesterday, Ning Qing first took out the cloth and asked her to make a skirt for Ning Wan, and then quietly told Yu Shi that she wanted a piece of gold jewelry, and then made two satin dresses, Yu Shi also knew that it was not suitable. , but was tortured by her daughter to no avail, so she had to find a chance to mention it to Yao Nu.Now after listening to Ning Wan's words, she also nodded, "This is very good."

Ning Wan knew that Ning Qing was listening outside the door right now, so she amplified her voice, "The two pieces of silk I took out were not for her alone. It’s just that each of the four members of our family can make a suit of clothes, and if there are more, we can make some turbans, belts, shoe uppers, purses and so on.”

There was no sound outside the door, Ning Qing was really dissatisfied, but she also knew that her younger sister was stubborn, and the family couldn't handle it, besides, she had already made money at this time, so she walked in calmly, "What are you doing?" Which two pieces of silk do you have?"

The eight silks and satins sent by Mrs. Wu are in eight colors, stone blue, bright red, goose yellow, willow green, lake blue, gouache, iron brown, and black. Each color has a different pattern, so they are different. Wan didn't think of this, but when Ning Qing mentioned it, she knew that she had already made plans.

In fact, every piece of silk and satin is very beautiful, and it doesn't matter which one Ning Qing chooses, so Ning Wan said, "It's up to you."

Ning Qing said, "I want that red one."

It's not surprising that Ning Qing is getting married soon, and Dahong is indeed the most suitable.Ning Wan went into the west room together with her mother and second sister, and took out the red horse. The red silk was sprinkled with gold threads and woven with day lily patterns. Ning Qing couldn't put it down, "I want to make a small jacket, a skirt, plus a hijab."

The family originally bought red cloth, and had already made a red wedding dress, but how could it compare to this?

Even when Mrs. Yu took the wedding dress she made earlier and compared it to the side, she immediately felt that the bright red cloth had become very rustic and dull, so she nodded and said: "You can wear this dress." Keep it for everyday wear." Then he said to Ning Wan: "Qing'er makes a dress, you keep the rest of the silk and satin, and you will also make a wedding dress in the future."

It's still early for her to get married, Ning Wan shook her head, "Mother and I will make a skirt for the rest, and pick another one to make a robe for dad, and we will each make a small jacket. When the second sister gets married, we will be a family. They all wear silk." The calculation is just right.

"No, I won't do it!" Yu Shi immediately objected when she heard that Ning Qing wanted to make a skirt for herself with the remaining red silk and satin, "We can't afford such good silk and satin anymore, how can it be wasted!"

"Why are mother's clothes in vain?" Ning Wan knew that mother was used to thrift, and persuaded her with a smile, "When Dad and I make money from picking mountain goods, we can buy better ones then!"

Ning Shi refused, but said: "Choose another one to make a gown for your father, it will look good when you welcome the bride, and the remaining half of the material will be just for you to make a robe, so mother will not do it."

Ning Wan knew that she couldn't persuade Mother, so she took out the other seven pieces of silk first, "Which one shall we choose for Dad?"

Goose yellow willow green gouache, etc. are naturally not suitable, and they can only choose one among iron brown, azurite, and black black. The three of them chose for a long time, and finally settled on azurite.This azurite silk satin is covered with clusters of auspicious and wishful patterns, which is very calm and looks good in my mother's clothes.Ning Wan had already figured out in her heart how to tailor it.

After Ning Qing's wedding dress is cut, because it is a precious dress, the fabric is fully reserved, even if Ning Qing grows taller and fatter, she can still wear the rest, this set of dress is considered good It can be worn for a lifetime.In addition to the hijab, belt and so on, Ning Qing was the only one who used more than half of the cloth.Then I also cut off my father's robe, after all, he is a man, tall, so Feibu was used to make the clothes, and more than half of them were used.

Ning Wan stayed in the Westinghouse with the remaining silk and satin, and while her mother was away, she cut a skirt for her mother out of bright red, and a dress with stone blue one, and made a skirt for herself with the remaining red silk. Not enough, so I cut a scarlet jacket for myself, and made a skirt out of stone green ones instead.Then quietly did it.

After all, we are a family, and my mother found out on the same day, heartbroken and angry, "It's not in vain to cut me clothes with such good silk and satin!" Hastily took the fabric for a closer look, and still wanted to leave it to Ning Wan, "Why not?" I tailored it? If you grow taller than your mother in the future, wouldn't it be impossible to change it!"

Ning Wan hurriedly supported her mother, "Mother, don't be angry, you still have a little brother in your stomach." She continued to laugh with her, "Second sister got married, father and our sister are both wearing satin clothes, only you Wearing common clothes. Mom, do you think it's okay?"

Yu Shi thought about it for the same reason, but said again: "The skirt is ready, I will only wear it this time, and then I will put it away and keep it for you to wear." But he sighed again, "It's a pity that I can't use it when I get married. .”

It turned out that you had to wear brand new clothes when you got married, so Ning Wan said with a smile: "Mother can keep it, and I can wear it when I get married." In fact, in her heart, she felt that when she got married, she would definitely make new ones for her mother. A set of new silk clothes is better than this one.

Seeing that the material of the dress had been cut, Yu had to accept it, and then looked at the dress Ning Wan had cut herself, and felt that she had left too little material, so she would not have much room to spare when she grew taller, so she nagged for a long time.Ning Wan just smiled, she had walked out of Sanjia Village before, and she didn't want to be like the people in Sanjia Village, who wore a piece of clothing for many years and didn't change it until it was too worn out.
