Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 8

The second aunt said: "Mother, at this time, a lot of green grass has not grown up, that is, it has just sprouted, and we are tired from hunting pigweed. It is not easy at all."

Zhang said: "That's better than starving to death."

At this time, Mrs. Liu came out to feed the pigs with a bucket of pig food, and greeted them. The third aunt smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, you are tired of embroidery on the soles of your shoes, and your eyes are red from boiling. Let's mow the grass with us, lightly." Save some money."

Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "It's good to be daring, you can tell our mother about it."

The third aunt said haha, and entered the house after saying that it was okay.

Xiumei and Xiujuan came back with wild vegetables on their shoulders. When they saw Xiuyao playing with Qin Yang, they were envious and annoyed, "Look, that little fool can still play."

When Yaoyao was just learning to speak, because she was hungry, she always stretched out her little hand and said, "Yes, yes, yes." It was several years before she could speak fluently. Xiujuan and Xiumei privately said that she was a little fool.

Although Xiuyao couldn't hear her, she keenly felt that the sisters were whispering to her. She glanced at them, ignored them, and only said to Qin Yang: "Come on, make some mud, sister will make some yogurt for you." .”

Anyway, what she did was for children in the country, and there was nothing unusual about it. Everyone knew how to do it, but they didn't have time to play.

When Xiuli heard this, she ran over on her calves, "Sister Yaoyao, I'll play with you."

Xiumei reprimanded in a low voice: "You are stupid, be careful to become a fool when you play with her."

Xiuyao looked at them and said, "Not only is it stupid not to play with me, but it's also a bit tough." Follow Xiumei a few, it's no wonder if you're not tough.

Xiumei rolled her eyes in anger, but she didn't dare to come up to fight and just dragged Xiuli. Xiuting also yelled, "I want to play too. I'm exhausted digging vegetables and mowing grass all day long." Ken listened to Xiumei, broke away from her sister's hand and ran to Xiuyao, looking at her eagerly, "Sister Yaoyao, I will play with you."

Xiuyao smiled and said, "Okay."

She tentatively instructed Qin Yang, "Little Yang, go scoop up some water, don't get your clothes wet, if the nanny hits me, I won't play with you."

Qin Yang was in high spirits, nodded vigorously, and ran home quickly.

When Xiuli saw her, she giggled and chased after her.

The three of Xiumei and Xiujuan were so angry that they stamped their feet and went home immediately. When they saw Mrs. Zhang, they said, "Nurse, Xiuyao is already well. Why don't you go digging for vegetables? You just know how to play around at home. It's delicious and lazy."

Mrs. Zhang said casually, "She lit a fire and dried grass at home."

Xiumei pursed her lips, "Nurse, then I can also light a fire and dry grass."

Before Mrs. Zhang could speak, Xiu Rong came over with a smile, "Xiu Mei, can you start a fire all at once? Can you coax her?"

She smiled and said sarcasm, Xiumei's face blushed suddenly, her brows were raised, she stared angrily and said: "Why, call me Fourth Sister."

The fourth sister is the ranking of the three families of the old Qin family. She is a few days older than Xiurong, but she is also the elder sister. According to the rules of the Qin family, younger sisters and younger brothers have to listen to older brothers and sisters.

Xiurong was still grinning, "Fourth Sister, I'm doing it for your own good. You didn't see that when Yangyang bullied Yaoyao, he grabbed all her hair. You still dare not fight back." Also manually touch the old lady's lifeblood, see if the old lady won't expose you.

Seeing that her grandson was happy all morning, Mrs. Zhang didn't care, and yelled: "Don't grind your skin, hurry up and go to work."

Mrs. Liu hurriedly took advantage of the time when she had a little time to eat, wrapped the soles, embroidered insoles, cloth socks, etc. that had already been packed in furoshiki, and came out and said to Mrs. Zhang: "Mother, I will send these goods to Qiangzi's family. go."

Mrs. Zhang is satisfied with Mrs. Liu, she is not lazy, works quickly, and has no complaints. She waved her hand and said, "Let's settle the money from the previous few days. I'm going to go to the farm. The family has a lot of money to spend."

Liu Shi hummed and left.

The second aunt Qiu in the room took a look and said: "It's better to be a sister-in-law. I can embroider flowers. I can't do it with my clumsy hands. I just have to be a coolie."

The third aunt Lu smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, you can say that you are not good, and the eldest sister-in-law is not bad, but we are not bad."

The second aunt snorted, "I don't want anyone else, the Feng family doesn't want it."

The third aunt curled her lips, "Why don't you want it? She didn't instigate it. By being a nanny for a few days, she slapped our tongues and said that we can't embroider well. Why don't you do it?" Only for her."

When Liu Shi gave birth to Xiuyao, it happened that Feng Dahu's family in the county was looking for a short-term nanny. In order to subsidize the family, Zhang didn't allow her to breastfeed Xiuyao, but became a nanny instead.

Because Liu's ingenuity is ingenious, and she doesn't talk much and is not lazy and greedy, besides taking care of the children, she also helps with some needlework. The second young lady of the Feng family saw that she was diligent and agile, and she did a good job, so she took a few tricks for her to try. try it.

As a result, Mrs. Liu's work was not bad, and the young lady of Feng's family pointed out again. In this way, Liu's craftsmanship went a step further. In order to subsidize her, the young lady of Feng's family asked her to take out shoe soles and embroidered insoles and hand them over to Zhou Qiang's family. Bring it over every once in a while, and the money will be settled monthly.

The Feng family is a big family, and they are willing to subsidize. The money they give is naturally based on good goods, and the Liu family is grateful. down.

In a month, Mrs. Liu and Xiuqin can subsidize the family by nearly [-] yuan, which is much more than digging wild vegetables and mowing grass for the second and third bedrooms. Naturally, Mrs. Zhang reluctantly asked her to put this down and go hunting pigweed instead. of.

A lot of people were eating, and Xiuyao was too lazy to join in the fun, so she directed Qin Yang to make mud with her, and then rubbed the mud balls with her hands.Seeing her rubbing fun, Qin Yang was also eager to try, stretching out his chubby little hands to grab the mud.

Xiuyao quickly blocked him, "You can't play with mud, it's time for the nanny to hit me."

Qin Yang is now in love with the one who let her play with him, but he didn't lose his temper, he looked at her with great interest, but he didn't care about Xiuli, he just grabbed it with his hand, and then learned how to make a lump of muddy balls.

Xiuyao put those mud eggs on a rock and put them in a safe place to bask in the sun. Qin Yang watched eagerly, "Fourth sister, when can I play?"

Xiuyao said with a smile: "Hopscotch first, let the clay eggs dry, then turn around and burn them under the pot."

Qin Yang was looking forward to it, and looked at those muddy balls reluctantly. The fourth sister rubbed them so round they were really round.

When the three little people came home, Xiumei saw it and reprimanded loudly: "Lili, why did you make yourself so dirty, you are so dirty, you are a wild child!"

Xiuli was so frightened that she didn't dare to move at once. She had fun playing with mud just now, but her sleeves and skirts were all stained.Xiumei rushed over and slapped her, dragged her to wash, and then gave Xiuyao who was washing her hands aside, "You think everyone doesn't have to work like you."

Xiuyao washes her hands with her head down, she doesn't know as much as a child, who said that Yaoyao stopped working, Yaoyao used to dig wild vegetables when she was very young, and she had to coax the children, and she was caught and beaten by the little sheep, don't mention it It's been so hard, and I can't get enough to eat, which is similar to what Xiuli eats.

She snorted softly, and was about to retort, but Qin Yang looked at her from the sidelines, thinking that Xiumei was bullying her sister, and immediately screamed "Ah", rushed over and kicked Xiumei, and shouted: "I hit you, I Beat you!"

Xiumei raised her hand angrily, and pulled Qin Yang away at once. She was so strong that Qin Yang staggered and sat on the ground after being pushed by her. push him.

Xiuyao said loudly: "Don't fight!" She glanced at Xiumei as she spoke, then supported Qin Yang to avoid Xiumei, watched Mrs. Zhang rush out of the room, she hurriedly whispered to Qin Yang: "Little sheep!" My sister even taught you how to turn rope." If Mrs. Zhang knew that Xiao Yang'er was pushed down and Xiumei was beaten, she would also be beaten accordingly, so as to coax Xiao Yang'er into being serious.

"What is rope turning?" Qin Yang's attention was suddenly attracted.

Mrs. Zhang heard her little grandson cry, and ran out to see that she was happily playing with Xiuyao. She stared around, her eyes fixed on Xiumei, "If I hear any of you bullying my younger brother, be careful with my broom."

Xiumei hurriedly said: "Who dares to bully him, it's Xiuyao, look at the mother, the mud all over Xiuli's body was made by Xiuyao."

Qin Yang yelled, "She made it herself."

Xiuli was too frightened to say anything, so Xiumei dragged her to wash, and then asked her to eat quickly.

Xiuli suddenly shouted: "I'm not going to dig vegetables either, I want to play with Sister Yaoyao at home."

The second aunt has been eating, and has been watching the things outside. Seeing Zhang's partiality to Qin Yang, her teeth itch with hatred, and when she heard Xiuli say this, she immediately reprimanded: "In any family, go dig vegetables for me, and the family doesn't raise them. Idlers, you still want to know how to eat without doing anything."

The third aunt lowered her head and smiled, and quickly glanced outside, knowing that the second sister-in-law was scolding Qin Yang.

Xiuyao heard it, so she could tell the difference, she said: "Nurse, let Xiuli help third sister at home, I will take Yangyang and follow my mother to dig vegetables."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly shouted: "Nonsense, if you go, you can go, but Yang Yang won't go, he's not healed after being frightened."

The second aunt and the third aunt even chattered their teeth. The second aunt didn't let Xiuli stay at home, so naturally it wasn't for her to dig wild vegetables, but to go out with her daughter. Not in front of me, can my daughter not be wronged?

Not to mention others, that nanny beat and scolded the child at every turn, and Xiurong was even more of a ghost, so Xiuli would have to be bullied at that time.When she is stupid.

On the contrary, Xiuyao didn't want to be at home even more, she said: "Then I'll go dig wild vegetables too, let Xiuli play with Yangyang at home."

When Qin Yang heard this, he rushed over and held her tightly, puffing his cheeks and shouting: "No, you can play with me."

Mrs. Zhang was busy coaxing her precious grandson happily, letting Xiuyao play with him.Qin Yang wanted to turn over the rope and clung to Xiuyao, so Mrs. Zhang asked her to eat with Qin Yang.

But Qin Yang has a bowl of egg custard, a thin noodle roll, and a plate of sesame oil mixed with toon sprouts.Xiuyao only had a thick noodle roll and a bit of pickled pickled cabbage.

Xiuyao was chewing on the astringent and bitter black noodle rolls, the rough noodle made her throat so rough that she felt very uncomfortable.Qin Yang happily ate his egg custard with his mouth open, and Mrs. Zhang was picking peanut seeds with a dustpan, looking up from time to time, for fear that Xiuyao would steal her grandson's food.
