The first lady is sweet and sweet

Chapter 331 Needlework (one more)
Shen Zhouheng's deep eyes looked at his daughter-in-law Qi Yaoyao without blinking, she was a little fatter and whiter than when he left.

"What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and sit on the kang." Qi Yaoyao smiled as she looked at him with mournful eyes.

Shen Zhou walked over, took off his hat and scarf and put them on the round table.

"Yeah!" Qi Yaoyao looked at him in horror and said, "Why have you lost so much weight!"

"Is there?" Shen Zhou sat down on the edge of the kang, touching his cheek, "I don't feel anything."

Chen shi lifted the curtain and walked in, standing on the edge of the kang and looked at him, startled, "How come I lost so much weight, my cheeks are sunken." He scolded him and said, "It's just that you don't want to eat! Look at this thin one, all the meat raised in the past six months is gone."

"It's not as exaggerated as you said!" Shen Zhou said, touching his cheek, "I didn't eat less on the canal!"

"Can the food on the canal be compared to that of the family?" Chen shi looked at him with a stern face and said, "I'll take care of it at home this time."

"Mother, I don't want to spoil your happiness, but I have to leave soon." Shen Zhou looked at her with eyes like ancient wells and said, "This canal can't be separated from me."

"Then what are you doing back here?" Chen shi asked, looking at him without blinking.

Shen Zhouheng covered his deflated stomach and said, "Mother, aren't you cooking? I'm hungry."

"I'll cook for you right away." Chen shi rushed out of the bedroom in a panic.

"Mother, turn on the lights, it's dark outside." Shen Zhou turned his head to look at the cotton curtain and said.

"Don't worry about it, I don't know how to light candles yet!" Mrs. Chen said angrily, "Now the county government is very generous and gives you everything." He chuckled and said, "There is no shortage of candles in our house now. The yamen dare not lack ours."

Shen Zhou Heng smiled and said, "You guys have a good time at home." His eyes fell on Qi Yaoyao's belly and he said softly, "It's just a few days, it should be about to give birth soon! Granny Wen needs to be early. Say it! I'd rather let Granny Wen wait than go to Granny Wen."

"I know, I know." Qi Yaoyao said with a funny look at him.

"You're still doing well in the canal!" Qi Yaoyao looked at him with concern and said, "Can this calcination work? Is it tiring to do it, and is the tool wear and tear a lot?"

"It's alright, calcined first, poured it with water, smashed it with a big stone hammer, bang bang... The rocks are all crisp." Shen Zhouheng said with great joy.

"I'm pouring this water, do people carry a bucket and pour it up?" Qi Yaoyao gestured with her hand and said, "It doesn't feel good."

"Of course not, I was almost stumped by this." Shen Zhouheng looked at her with deep eyes and said with lingering fears, "The amount of water for manpower is too small to be a big deal."

"Then how to solve it?" Qi Yaoyao looked at him curiously and said.

"Bamboo pipe..." Shen Zhouheng explained in detail when he heard her peach blossom eyes filled with a smile.

Qi Yaoyao's mouth grew involuntarily, looked at him in surprise and said, "It's really yours. How did you think of it?"

"I remembered the shower we took." Shen Zhou looked at her with a smile and said.

Chen shi suddenly said, "My son, this bamboo pipe can be spread so far, why do you have to work so hard to repair the canal!"

"Mother, this requires a geographical advantage, and this bamboo tube can't withstand the cold weather in winter." Shen Zhou turned his head horizontally and said, looking at the cotton curtain.

"Yes!" Chen shi remembered after hearing the words.

"The canal is doing very well now, don't worry about it." Shen Zhou said, looking at her with bright and lustrous eyes.

"It's going well in the canal, and what about life! Are you eating well? Is it cold?" Qi Yaoyao stared at his hands and said, "Is there any frostbite on these hands and feet? Is there any sickness?"

Hearing the words, Shen Zhouheng's eyes became more and more gentle, and he spread out his hands and said, "Look at my hands, they are still white." He quickly took off his shoes and socks, "Look, there are no frostbites."

He smiled and said, "The water is convenient, I dug up the mountain ginger, I have ginger soup to drink, and I also boiled the medicine for treating frostbite. I wear gloves when I work!"

"Gloves?" Qi Yaoyao looked at him in surprise and asked.

"I made it with old cloth." Shen Zhou said as he looked at her with his warm and jade-like eyes.

"This is useless! The stone is sharp and it was scratched at once." Qi Yaoyao looked at him worriedly and said.

"There's no other way. If it's broken, it can only be patched." Shen Zhouheng looked at her helplessly and said.

"Does this know how to do needlework?" Qi Yaoyao looked at him with concern and asked again.

"Yes!" Shen Zhouheng said easily.

"There is a woman in this canal." Chen shi lifted the curtain and asked Shen Zhouheng, staring at Shen Zhouheng.

"No, no." Shen Zhouheng looked back at her when he heard the words and said.

"Then how are you going to patch it! Not only the gloves, but also the clothes, the thorns will be broken as soon as they are scratched!" Qi Yaoyao's dark pupils looked at him and said.

"I'll make it up for them." Shen Zhou patted his forehead and said in a muffled voice, "You won't look down on me!"

"How come?" Qi Yaoyao looked at him in astonishment and said, "It's just a bit of an accident."

"What did you say?" Mrs. Chen came in with her flour-dipped hands pouting her buttocks, her black eyes staring at him and stammering, "Heng'er, are you talking about needlework? You are a man."

"There are no women in this canal, so we all have to go bare-ass! The key is that he is cold!" Shen Zhouheng looked at Chen Shi with innocent peach eyes and said, "They all sleep with their tired heads on the pillows. Now, you are willing to call them up to mend their clothes!"

Having said this, Chen shi moved his lips to the mouth and swallowed it again.

"Then are you alone enough?" Qi Yaoyao asked with her dark eyes looking at him with concern.

"There are others, let's go together." Shen Zhouheng looked at them tenderly when he heard the words and said.

"They can also needlework?" Chen shi looked at him in surprise and said.

"It's alright to make patches, but it's definitely not enough to make clothes. It's better than painting a gourd." Shen Zhou smiled and looked at them.

"Okay!" What else could Chen shi say?This is the reality, turn around and go out to continue cooking.

Shen Zhouheng watched his mother go out, then turned around, looked at Qi Yaoyao without blinking, and said, "Is the family okay!"

"It's alright!" Qi Yaoyao told the family's situation in detail after hearing the words, "The county government has no shortage of various benefits, we have some of them, and they were delivered early in the morning."

"Welfare?" Shen Zhou looked at her and said with a raised eyebrow.

"Little treasury." Qi Yaoyao said in a low voice.

Shen Zhou looked at her in amazement, shook his head and laughed, "You really know everything."

"The major yamen in the capital don't have small treasuries, so it is difficult to support the family only on salary." Qi Yaoyao rolled her eyes gracefully and said.
