big sister headed home

Chapter 46

Dou Hua only stayed with Jiang Ermeng for less than half an hour' and went back' She was afraid that her younger sister Dou Cui would be worried' She and her two younger sisters slept in the same room 'Little girl Dou Cui has a delicate heart' Every time Waiting for Dou Hua to go to sleep together on the kang, as if guarding my eldest sister like this, I feel at ease.

Dou Hua and the two had been dating for a while, and quietly returned home. Sure enough, their sisters' room was still lit with a dim yellow oil light, which shone on the window paper, but it gave people a very warm feeling.

As soon as Dou Hua opened the door, Dou Cui's voice of inquiry came from inside the room. "Sister, are you back?"

Before she finished speaking, Dou Cui walked out of the back room holding a small oil lamp' and thoughtfully illuminated for Dou Hua, "Sister, slow down and be careful of the tables and chairs."

"Hey, I see, Tweety, are you still awake and waiting for me?" Dou Hua said.

"Well, yes, I can't fall asleep without Eldest Sister, and I'm not sleepy anyway, just wait for Eldest Sister to come back and sleep together." Dou Cui responded.

"Where's Hong'er? Is she asleep?" Dou Hua asked.

"She went to bed early, she was tired of love, she fell asleep after lying on the kang for a while, elder sister, would you like to wipe your face, and I'll fetch water for you." Dou Cui said obediently.

"No, I washed it in the yard, you are sleepy, hurry up and sleep on the kang." Dou Hua said.

"Okay, big sister sleeps together." Dou Cui obediently climbed onto the kang, and lay down next to Dou Hong.

By the light of the oil lamp, Dou Hua saw the half-embroidered embroidery on the table. Dou Hua touched the embroidery, picked it up and looked at it. It was a relatively simple plum blossom pattern. The red plum blossoms were lifelike, vivid and beautiful.Can't help but say, "Tweety, you embroidered this? It's so beautiful."

Dou Cui smiled shyly when she heard this, and said, "This is a new pattern that Sister-in-law Yun and I have learned. The embroidery is not good, and we always make mistakes. Sister-in-law Yun's show work is really good. In our village, her embroidery is the best. .”

No matter how good others are, it belongs to others, but her sister belongs to her own family. Dou Hua still looks towards her in her heart, "I think your embroidery is good, and you will definitely catch up with Sister Yun in the future. Since you like this show job, let's go there some other day." Pick a few beautiful patterns in the county town, and embroider whatever you want."

Dou Cui gave Dou Hua the impression that she is ingenious, usually very quiet, and she likes this kind of hard work, sewing clothes, embroidery, she is not good at this, holding embroidery needles with two hands is more tiring than working , but she would also like her younger sister to know this, which is a bonus item for getting married here. If the needlework and embroidery are good, they are welcome by the in-laws.

"You don't need to buy it for now. I will embroider for a long time just like this pattern." Dou Cui said, after thinking for a while, she said, "Eldest sister, you really care about elder brother Jiang."

"Stinky girl, you still dare to make fun of elder sister." Dou Hua blushed, put down the embroidery in her hand, climbed onto the kang, and rolled with Dou Cui.

At night, there was a little one sleeping next to them, and they didn't dare to make too much noise. Dou Hua scratched Dou Cui's armpits, and Dou Cui covered her little mouth, giggling, and said in her mouth, "Sister, I'm I'm happy for you, I'm not kidding you, we are all happy to see that you and Brother Jiang's relationship are good."

"You girl, how can you tell that I have a good relationship with him, you are a big kid." Dou Hua said.

"We can all see it, and the eldest brother can also see it. You cook so many delicious food every day, isn't it because you are afraid that he will not be full? You use a big bowl for the rice. Also, the way Brother Jiang looks at you It's different, he always likes to look at you, and you also like to secretly look at him." Dou Cuitong said without restraint, and he said it logically.

After hearing this, Dou Hua blushed even more, thinking in her heart, she thought she was doing it covertly, but she didn't expect that even Tweety could see it, and probably others saw it too, "You ghost girl, what are you doing so clearly? "

"I didn't watch it on purpose, I only saw it a few times." Dou Cui said, approaching Dou Hua, and said in a low voice, "Sister, you married Brother Jiang, you won't leave us, we can't bear you .”

"Don't worry, Tweety, I won't leave you guys. I still want to watch your eldest brother get married. We Tweety are getting married. We Tweety are so capable, we will definitely be able to find a good wife in the future." Dou Hua joked.

Dou Cui has a thin skin, and when Dou Hua said it, she herself became shy, shrank into the quilt, and said, "Eldest sister, what are you talking about? You are talking about you, why did it come to me."

"Hehe, what's there to be shy about? Sooner or later, the elder sister will make the decision for you. She will definitely let you marry a good family." Dou Hua continued.

"Sister, I'm sleepy, don't talk anymore, I'm asleep." Dou Cui shrank into the quilt and said nothing.

Dou Hua smiled silently, stopped talking, turned off the oil lamp, and soon fell asleep.

The next morning, the whole family got up very early, and Dou Hua went to fetch water. As soon as he walked outside the courtyard, Jiang Ermeng took over the burden, and he and Dou Qing carried two baskets of fresh grass on their backs. , There are donkeys, sheep, and rabbits at home. They all eat grass. The sheep are usually taken out to let them go. These days, the wheat harvest is busy, so I can take care of them, so I feed them more grass in the morning.

Among these domestic animals, rabbits are the fastest growing. It has been a few months, and the original little rabbits have grown up and are pregnant with cubs. Two of the three big rabbits have already laid a litter of little rabbits. Now Dou Hua has more than [-] rabbits, large and small, in her rabbit circle. A few days ago, she killed a male rabbit and cooked a big pot to satisfy people's greed. one.

The more rabbits there are, the more they will eat. They need to eat a lot of grass every day. Fortunately, there are the most weeds in the wild, so feed them with fresh grass every day.

Dou Hua and Dou Cui prepared breakfast together, and Dou Qing cleaned the yard, donkey shed, rabbit pen, sheep pen, chicken coop, and cleaned them one by one. These places had to be cleaned every day. If it was hot in summer, the smell would But it smells bad. After sweeping, sprinkle a layer of plant ash to remove the smell and sterilize.

Today's weather is different from the previous few days. Although there is sun, it is not that hot. From time to time, there are a few cool winds blowing, which is very cool. Dou Hua felt the cool wind last night and felt that something was wrong. An experienced old farmer At this time, they also realized that something was wrong. There was no reason for it. It was probably the rhythm of rain. Maybe it was already raining not far away.

The atmosphere in the village suddenly became tense and lively. Every household, every household, men and women, went out together, and used the fastest speed to collect the wheat on the field, whether it was threshed or not. There was no need for threshing Stack them in a high place, cover them with grass thatch, and threshing them is simpler, put them directly into sacks, and carry them home.

The village is basically threshing now, only a few families have not yet threshed. At this time, the men and women of the family are very few to go to the battle, seize the fastest time to grab the wheat on the field and go home.

Sure enough, when people were busy, the weather gradually changed. First, the wind blew up, and the sun was covered by a dark cloud. People move faster.

Dou Hua's family, together with Jiang Ermeng, came to the field after breakfast, quickly packed the wheat in sacks, and realized that the weather was not right. In the morning, Jiang Ermeng did not spread out the piled wheat. It's easy, just pack it directly. Dou Qing and Dou Cui supported the pockets, while Dou Hua and Jiang Ermeng took the dustpan and wooden lift and started to pack the wheat non-stop.

The two little ones, Dou Lin and Dou Hong, were not idle either. They took a small broom and swept up the scattered and missed wheat grains. The whole family worked together and quickly filled more than a dozen bags of wheat. There was no car at home, and Dou Hua led Bringing Xiao Huizi over and asking Xiao Huizi to help carry the wheat into the house, Jiang Ermeng hitched his family's bullock cart, loaded the cart with bags of wheat, and transported them back to Dou Hua's house.

Fortunately, it was close, right at the door of the house, and within a few trips, they all moved into the house.Both dark rooms of Dou Hua's house were filled.

After picking up their own wheat, Dou Hua and the others rushed to their uncle Dou Sishan's house to help them harvest the wheat.

The sky in June is like a child's face, it changes as soon as it changes, and there is no time for people to react. Before noon, the big rainwater poured down from the sky like a pour, and fell on the ground, crackling, piercing the eye. Look, it was still mixed with hail. The hail was as big as a peanut bean. The children picked it up happily when they saw it, and stuffed it into their mouths, like chewing jelly beans, with a crunchy bite.

"Hurry up, get in the house and hide from the rain~" Li Shi shouted, and the bean-heavy rain fell on the person's body.

Dou's family members picked up all kinds of tools in their hands and ran into Dou Sishan's house quickly.

Dou Hua and the others hid in the house and stood by the door, watching the sudden and unresponsive pouring rain outside. If they hadn't run fast, they would have become drowned in a short time. Drenched some.

"Sister, look quickly, there is hail~" Dou Lin exclaimed, he was also mischievous, he got into the rain from time to time, picked up a few hailstones to eat, the hailstones did not fall too much, and basically fell to the ground and were washed away by the rain , It melted, and I couldn't pick up a few, but most of the clothes were soaked.

Dou Huaqingjing called him in, "Lin'er, don't pick it up, the hailstones are not clean if they fall on the ground, if you eat too much, you will have diarrhea, see your clothes are wet, come in quickly, I will make medicine for you if you catch a cold."

Dou Lin didn't like to eat the bitter and smelly Chinese medicine the most. When he heard that he wanted to take the medicine, he hurried into the house and muttered, "Sister, I'm not sick, but I don't want to eat the bitter and smelly medicine soup. It's too difficult." drank."

"Then you are not allowed to go out in the rain, quickly take off the wet clothes outside." Dou Hua said.

"Yes, take off your wet clothes. I'll go into the house and find some dry clothes for you to put on." Li Shi said, she also has a few children in her family, and she went out with Dou Lin just now, most of them got wet, Li Shi treated them Went into the back room with Dou Lin and found some dry clothes to change into.

"Oh, thanks to Dou Hua and you guys coming here, otherwise the wheat would have been soaked in the rain." Dou Sishan sighed.

"Fortunately, the rain didn't fall until after harvesting. It was just right, and the food was not wasted." Dou Hua said.

"I think the rain is good, and it's time for planting. With this rain, the seeds will go to the ground." Li praised.

"That's right, it's the same reason. The wheat in the village is almost harvested, and it can be regarded as a timely rain, but it rains too hastily and does not leave room for people." Dou Sishan said.

"Which year didn't the rain fall like this? This year was pretty good. The year before last, when half of the wheat was harvested, it rained heavily, which ruined a lot of food. Where did you leave room for harvesting?" Li said.

"Oh, who said it was not." Dou Sishan replied.
