big sister headed home

Chapter 68

Soon the benefits of having a shop at home became apparent. 'Not only did the family have a fixed income', there were even people who came to the door to talk about matchmaking. When the matchmaker came to the door for the first time, Dou Hua was stunned. She never thought that Dou Qing was only 13 years old. Someone is rushing to talk about matchmaking.

This is a big family matter. Regarding Dou Qing's life in the future, Dou Hua will not make hasty decisions. The first thing she has to do is to respect Dou Qing's ideas, and the second is to consider the other party's family and character.

The matchmaker was sent away with the excuse that her younger brother was still young and not in a hurry. Dou Hua specially chatted with her younger brother Dou Qing about this matter, and Dou Qing blushed when she heard it. She began to falter.

Seeing her brother's appearance, Dou Hua's mind moved. Could it be that her brother already has a sweetheart?I didn't see it. Has Dou Qing gotten close to any girl recently?Dou Hua was thinking in her head, 'I want to think of a girl who has appeared often, I think about it' and didn't think of any suitable person, so she couldn't help but looked at Dou Qing suspiciously.

Dou Qing was looked at a little awkwardly' and said uncomfortably, "Eldest sister, why are you looking at me like that, is there something on my face?"

"Qing'er, to be honest with Eldest Sister, have you fallen in love with any girl? If there is someone who is really interested, Eldest Sister will go and inquire, and I will pay attention to you in advance, so as to save this girl and let another family choose her." Dou ikebana.

"Sister, what are you talking about, I am so young, how can I have a crush on any girl, you have misunderstood." Dou Qing denied.

"Really? Then why are you blushing? Could it be that you have a fever? You're still shy." Dou Hua joked.

"No more." Dou Qing whispered, looking down at her own toes, wondering what she was thinking.

Dou Hua thought it was interesting, so she smiled and said, "Now someone has asked a matchmaker, what do you think, do you want to agree?"

Dou Qing raised her head and said directly, "Don't answer, I'll talk about it later, I'm still young, I don't want to get engaged so early."

"Okay, since you said that, then Eldest Sister will delay for you. If you are interested, you must tell me, so I can help you." Dou Hua said.

"I see, big sister, I don't have anything else to do, I'm going to cut grass, Xiao Huizi must be hungry." Dou Qing said.

"Okay, let's go." Dou Hua said.

At this time, Dou Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and went out to harvest grass with the grass basket on his back, but the figure of a little girl appeared in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it. He secretly made up his mind that he must work hard.

Dou Hua looked at Dou Qing's stubborn back and shook her head, she was even more certain in her heart that her younger brother must have someone she likes in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't behave like this, but he refuses to say it now, it seems that he should pay more attention , to prepare something for him in advance.

The days passed quickly, and the hot summer passed in a blink of an eye, and the autumn harvest season, which is the most popular and busiest of the year, ushered in.

Autumn is the harvest season and the busy season. The whole Dou family village is busy. Dou Hua’s family has more than eight acres of land. Now the crops have grown. When it’s harvest time, the family’s work is too much and requires manpower. At this time, The noodle restaurants in the county town have put up a sign that they are temporarily closed, and there are a few of them that are closed for business. The autumn harvest is busy, and the city and the outside are busy.

Both Dou Hua and Mrs. Li went back to the village and were busy with the work in the field.

After all, Dou Hua's family is full of children, and the labor force is too small, so it takes a lot of effort to work. Dou Hua still remembers the scene of a few little ones blushing under the sun during the last wheat harvest. At that time, she was really distressed. , now that the family has money, life is getting better and better, and Dou Hua doesn't want to make the little ones suffer too much. After all, they are still very young, and there are adults around, and although the children are working, they are all playing around. He did it, but the few children in his family were different, they were all doing real work.

Dou Hua felt sorry for the younger ones, so she thought up an idea in advance, planning to spend some money to hire some part-time workers to do the work, twenty Wen a day, and take care of one meal at noon.Her family doesn't have much land, and she can do it in a few days by hiring a few helpers, and the rest of the odd jobs can be done by her family.

The price Dou Hua offered was not low, and the villagers who had a lot of labor moved their minds. Soon a few people came to work, and Dou Hu and his brother also came.

Dou Hu looked at Dou Hua and was still a little apprehensive, but he still straightened his neck and shouted, "Our two brothers are helping you with the work, and we don't charge money."

When Dou Hua heard this, she just smiled and didn't say much. She was already very satisfied with being able to help with the work. As for the wages, she didn't want to lose them.

Since Dou Hua rescued Dou Hu last time, the relationship between her family and Dou Dashan's family has eased a lot. Last time when the wheat was harvested, Dou Dashan also brought his son over to help out for a few days.

Unexpectedly, for this autumn harvest, Dou Dashan also sent two sons. Regarding this, Dou Hua didn't say anything. And not for it.

Dou's family grows the most corn and millet, and because there are enough people, it took a few days to get them all back home.

The millet was exposed to the sun for two days, and it had to be threshed just like wheat. Jiang Ermeng also came at this time and found that there was not much work in the field. He couldn't help but regret that he came late. The work of threshing the millet, he undertook it.

Dou Hua distributed the wages of the past few days to the villages where her family helped her. Although the two brothers Dou Hu repeatedly said no, Dou Hua did not miss them. She also knew that Dou Dashan’s family was in a difficult situation. He gave birth to five children. Although these five children are also good laborers, they are also at an age where they can eat. His family does not have much land. It is really difficult to support such a large family. The idea is probably because the land is too small and the people are not enough to eat.

Dou Hua has always had this temper. When others respect her, she will respect others, and she is not the kind of temper that is unforgiving. Now that Dou Dashan's family is showing favors, she has nothing to do with Joe. One day's wages were stuffed into the hands of the two brothers Dou Hu.

Brother Dou Hu muttered a few words, finally accepted the money, returned home happily, and handed the money to his father.

Dou Dashan looked at the hanging copper coins, his expression changed, he wanted to scold his two sons a few words, but in the end he just sighed, without saying anything, he waved his hand to ask Dou Hu to hand over the money to Mrs. Smoke the pot.

Douhua grows a lot of crops in the field. Apart from the staple food corn and millet, some beans, peanuts and sweet potatoes are planted. These tasks are not many, and she brings a few small ones to do it together.

The yard is full of corn and peanuts. Dou Hua takes a few small ones to peel the corn every morning and evening, and hangs the bundled corn on the rack in the yard. There are many bunches of corn hanging on a bunch, waiting for some corn After drying, the corn kernels can be rubbed off and ground into cornmeal with a stone mill to cook porridge, paste corn pancakes, and steam vegetable dumplings. Cornmeal is one of the most common staple foods in farmers.

Jiang Ermeng helped for two days. After threshing the millet, he went back to Jiangjiazhai a little unhappy. The time we spent together was always too short.
