The mulberry life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 50

Qin Chengyi was busy making a new nest for Xiaoguai. It was colder in the mountains, and it was no better than Zhang's house to build a puppy house. The newcomers had to spread straw and put old discarded sacks on it to move to the warm stove.The kitchen does not turn off the fire at night, and the carbon formed after the firewood is burned in the morning is ignited in the middle of the night, so there will be no fire. When you wake up in the morning, you can drink thick and rotten meat porridge.

Nuanbao boiled a pot of water. In winter in the north, you can’t take a bath every day. You spend a lot of firewood. Tonight, just wash your face with hot water and scald your feet.I mixed some cold water into two washbasins and footbaths, and called Qin Chengyi to come and freshen up.

She put away the cloth towel that was hanging outside and handed it to him, watching him dry his face swiftly, then squatted down to take off his cotton shoes.After the snow has melted, the inside of the shoes is not wet, but they are still placed on the outer hall to blow the air on their feet.

Qin Chengyi’s feet traveled a lot during the march and battle, and he practiced day and night. Sometimes he couldn’t see his surroundings clearly when he marched at night, and he didn’t have time to mend his shoes when they were broken. His feet suffered a lot, and there seemed to be many small scars. .

Nuan Bao groped his instep distressedly, checked the water temperature with both hands, and put his foot down with both hands.There are many acupoints on the soles of the feet. It is said that foot massage is very beneficial. She doesn't understand but it doesn't prevent her from pressing and pinching randomly, as long as it is comfortable.

With a little candlelight, it was very dim, but it was enough to see clearly the earnest face of the small squatting figure.

Qin Chengyi remembered the old days when his mother and father got along with each other when they were young, and they also served and washed their faces and feet like this. If his father hadn't been in such a situation, then how good the family would be now, maybe he can still have a few younger brothers and sisters, and it won't be too late. It is deserted and lonely now.

"Warm..."

Nuan Bao looked up in confusion and asked, "What's the matter? Is the water too hot?"

Qin Chengyi patted the empty seat next to him and said softly, "Come and sit."

Nuan Bao dried his feet and his own hands, and sat down as he said.

Qin Chengyi hugged her, buried his head in her neck, and seemed to sigh, "Let's have a baby."

He was in a bad mood. In the past, even if he was sad and just frowned, Nuan Bao said softly like coaxing a child: "We will have many, many children in the future. Rows of houses will be built in the back. After we marry a wife, each of us will have a child." time, and then we can tease our grandson every day, walk the dog, how nice."

Qin Chengyi pushed her down on the bed, brushed the tip of his nose, seemed to be moved by her words, and smiled slightly, "It will take a lot of effort."

On the second day, the sun was shining brightly, and outside the window lattice the little sparrows squeaked and squeaked together, accompanied by the sound of chopping firewood. Xiaoguai was unwilling to be lonely, and kept barking for some reason.

Nuan Bao yawned, stretched her legs and feet, and hurriedly got up to make breakfast.After getting married, she seems to be even more lazy. These days, she sleeps until she wakes up naturally, without any consciousness of being a daughter-in-law.

The front yard is very small. At the beginning, because I was in a hurry, I only hurriedly built a fence around the house. According to Nuanbao, the fence is useless to resist wild animals, but it is good to prevent some weasels. More rural fun.

Qin Chengyi was wearing unlined clothes, and he cut firewood with an ax in his hand. The wood was all neat trees. Now he had to split the water to dry it, so it was convenient to use when lighting a fire.In the past, Nuan Bao could only pick up branches to make fire at home, and the little uncle could only go up the mountain to chop trees for firewood after returning home. Her family would never have enough firewood.Now Qin Chengyi goes into the mountain every morning to fill up a utility room with firewood before the winter. It should be possible.

After Nuan Bao finished washing up, he saw hot porridge simmering in the pot, put two bowls on it and took it out.

"Brother Cheng Yi, come over for breakfast."

Qin Chengyi washed his hands and was about to sit down. Nuanbao picked up the cotton coat on the chair and put it on him. "It's hot when I'm working, and it blows when I stop." As he said, he shook his hand and felt the warmth. Let go of the heat.

"It's okay. I went for a walk in the mountains and exerted some strength. Look, my forehead is still sweating."

He is dry inside and full of anger. In winter, he is like a stove. After a little exercise, the cold air will be dispelled immediately.

The pork slices were rolled on the cornflour several times, and they were stained with starch. Even after cooking overnight, the meat in the porridge was still tender. When Nuanbao added food to him, he stirred the bottom of the pot and put all the pork slices into a bowl. .

"Eat more, and make up for the meat from the previous years." I don't know if he didn't eat enough or he was too tired. When he came back from the border, he was dark and thin, and his face was extremely dry and old.

Qin Chengyi finished the meat porridge with a smile, and took advantage of the sunny weather to strengthen the trap.Before the winter, the wild beasts can't find food, and they are easy to come and hurt people. The trap has not been moved for five years, so it must be rusted and loosened.

Nuan Bao had nothing to do at home. When he saw Qin Chengyi's leftover wood, his hands itched for a while, so he picked a piece and sat down to carve it.

Speaking of which, when she first came here, her family was in a difficult situation, and she even made money with woodcarving, but once she got the silver, she no longer wanted to make a living from it.Selling wood carvings was not her goal, and she didn't value money too much.And the little uncle's getting married took away the problem of livelihood, and she can enjoy the important time of her youth with peace of mind under the protection of her family.

Now that she is married, Qin Chengyi is a taciturn person, and will not have many questions about her past. When the time comes, she only needs to find the excuses from last time to fool her.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help pursing her lips and looking at the wood in her hand.

Qin Chengyi suddenly became very sad for some reason last night, but she guessed that it might be because of his dead parents, otherwise why would he be in a hurry to have a child, and the family is really deserted.Thinking that children are not as good as they are, let's carve some small toys for children.If she was really pregnant with a baby, she would definitely not be treated with a knife at that time, but now it is just right to carve some simple ones.

There is nothing as simple as a jigsaw puzzle for children to play with.This toy, which is well-known in modern times, really doesn't have much technical content, but no one has ever played with it today.

Nuanbao knew that she was from a different village, and Qin Chengyi's reputation was not good. Both of their parents and elders were gone, and there were too few relatives, so they always left others with a bad feeling, even though they closed the door But it doesn’t mean that the children born in the future will not be discriminated against, and she doesn’t want the baby to follow the little kids in the village, behaving badly, learning foul language, and being able to go to school at the age of five or six, but What about three or four years old?Preschool education should not be underestimated, so starting to develop some children's toys is a top priority.

If Qin Chengyi knew that they didn't even have a baby, they would worry about the education of the baby, and they would definitely be pinned on the bed, exhausted from torment, and their minds would go blank.

Tangram, as the name suggests, has seven wooden boards, five of which are triangular, one square and one parallelogram.Using these seven boards, at least 1600 patterns can be spelled out, which greatly develops children's brain power.

The carpenter has not used his hands for a long time, but the carpenter is much easier. The sanded leaves that were polished before become brittle, and the leaves are all lost in winter. If you want to polish it, you have to wait until the branches turn green in spring.

The things my children play with don't need to be colored, and the children will bite the things they grab. Although the current dyeing is made of natural pigments, they are not for sale, and it doesn't matter if they look ordinary.When the child is older, make another set of colored ones.

The farmer eats twice a day, Nuanbao stays at home and doesn’t do hard work, and is hungry slowly. Qin Chengyi eats a pot of porridge in the morning, and repairs the trap in the mountains at noon and doesn’t come back. She is doing it alone. When Qin Chengyi came back from the moon, the room was already dyed with a bright light.
