Chapter 109
After eating and drinking enough, Jiang Hu and Jiang Yu directly took two benches together and took an afternoon rest under the eaves.

The sun has not yet come here, and there is a breeze blowing, which is much more comfortable than in the house.

Last summer, Xiaomi and Tie Dan stopped sleeping with their parents, but with their eldest brother and second sister.

Xiaomi yawned and returned to bed, her second sister was already asleep.

That's right, the second sister is much more tired than her. Wheat directly cuts the ears of wheat home, pours them on oilcloth to dry, and then threshes them with a flail.

The yard is small, the area of ​​the oilcloth shop is limited, and the ears of wheat to be dried are a bit thick, so the second sister turns them over every once in a while.

Only when these are thoroughly dried can threshing be started.

Looking at her second sister's flushed cheeks, Xiaomi felt it was a pity. She used Lingquan water for two years to raise her family members white and tender. As a result, after a busy farming season, they all turned into little black children.

But fortunately, after this period of time, you can slowly recover.

Erniang opened the door curtain and came in, and saw Xiaomi looking at the second sister with wide eyes, and laughed softly: "Xiaomi hasn't slept yet, take a rest, and I have to help in the afternoon."

Xiaomi closed her eyes: "Mother, go and rest quickly."

This period of time is very tiring, not only their family, but people in the surrounding villages are busy harvesting. If the crops are not harvested at home, it will not be considered a harvest.

Er Niang went to see Tie Dan again, and then went back to her room for an afternoon nap.

Before going to bed, thinking that the children in the family are growing up slowly, and the eldest baby Tiedan sleeps together, it seems a bit crowded.

Perhaps, after this period of busy work is over, it is time to consider doing things about a new home.

After the wheat was harvested, let a few children take care of it at home, and turn it over for a while, while Jiang Hu and Er Niang went to continue cutting rapeseed.

There is no need to carry rapeseed back home, and there is not so much land at home. The rapeseed stalks are very high, and a large bundle is cut and tied. Canola seeds will do.

This year, other than Jiang's family, other people in the village also planted some rapeseed, but not as much as Jiang's family.

When I finally finished all this and could breathe a sigh of relief, half a month had passed.

The food tax collectors always showed up on time and returned from Fu'an Village with a full load.

"Xiaomi, do you want to go to the mountain?" Jiang Hu came back with a bundle of rape stalks on his back, and yelled when he saw Xiaomi petting the cat boredly.

After harvesting the wheat, the eldest brother Jiang Yu went back to school. Every morning, he followed Jiang Hu's ox cart to the town and walked back in the afternoon.

The journey is not close, but Jiang Yu never feels tired.

Besides Jiang Yu, there are other people in the village who went to school with Jiang Yu, Liu Yang's eldest son, Liu Hai.

Now Liu Yang is basically like Jiang's family in everything. Jiang Hu sent his son to school, but he gritted his teeth and sent him too.

Not only this one, but the second one will also go in the future!
Oh yes, before winter last year, Wang Xiang gave birth to another son, who is now seven or eight months old.

As soon as Xiaomi heard Jiang Hu's voice, he collapsed and ran to Jiang Hu's side: "Going to go, daddy going up the mountain to catch prey today?"

Although there are many pheasants and hares at home, it is also very interesting to go up the mountain and set traps in your free time.

"Go and chop a few bamboos, and then see if there is any good wood. When autumn comes this year, we will also build a new house."

Erniang scooped up a bowl of water and brought it to Jiang Hu, asking him to quench his thirst first: "What's the rush, I just finished my work, let's rest for two days, anyway, it's still early to build a house."

Jiang Hu drank the water, smiled and said: "It's okay, anyway, I'm done working in the field, and I'm idle if I'm idle."

Then he took the hatchet with his backpack on his back, and waved to Xiaomi: "Come on, let's go up the mountain."

Xiaomi cheered, and immediately followed up, not too hot, and still greeted: "Xiao Hei Xiaomi, hurry up to the mountain."

Xiao Hei, who was sleeping under the eaves, turned over with a jerk and got up. Xiao Mi also jumped on Xiao Hei's back, and being carried by Xiao Hei, he caught up with Jiang Hu and Xiaomi.

Er Niang watched and shook her head, really, it's a hot day, it's not too hot to go out.

There are so many people in the family, but the father and daughter like to run the most, and they are not the kind who get together in the village, but like to have fun in the mountains and plains.

In the past, it was better when the child was younger, but this year Xiaomi is older, so he doesn’t need an adult to accompany him, and he takes the little black Xiaomi with him, and disappears in a blink of an eye.

Turning around, she saw Jiang Xiaoxue making clothes under the eaves. She walked over and sat down next to her: "How long have you been doing it? Don't tire your eyes. It's easy to lose sight when you get older."

Jiang Xiaoxue looked at Erniang, and grinned: "It's okay, mother, I just made clothes for a while, and my younger sister said don't make clothes when it's very dark, just let your eyes rest for a while, so you won't be unable to see clearly." .”

Although Xiaomi is only two years old, everyone basically listens to what she says.

Erniang picked up the things in the bamboo basket next to Jiang Xiaoxue, and asked in surprise, "Is this for making clothes for Xiaomi?"

Jiang Xiaoxue nodded: "Well, Xiaomi doesn't like to wear skirts, so I made pants for her too."

Erniang read it over and over several times: "Xiaoxue is so amazing, it's almost better than mother's."

Obviously, I only started learning how to use needles last year, but now I can even make clothes very well.

Being praised, Jiang Xiaoxue's face flushed red: "My mother is amazing, if my mother didn't teach me, I wouldn't know it either."

Erniang put the clothes back into Jiang Xiaoxue's bamboo basket, and thoughtfully said: "Before Xiaomi said, it would be great if I could buy embroidery books, but now it seems that I can buy you one."

Jiang Xiaoxue was overjoyed at first, then quickly shook her head: "No, no, no, the book is so expensive, it's useless to buy it, I'd better buy it for elder brother, it's important for elder brother to study."

The eldest brother only bought a few books for school, which cost several taels of silver, which is too expensive, not to mention that the embroidery books can't be tested for merit.

Erniang: "Why is it useless? Xiaoxue is so good at making clothes. If she can learn embroidery, she can also subsidize her family if she learns it well. I heard that girls who can embroider can earn a lot of money. "

The more Erniang thought about it, the more she realized this truth: "When your father comes back, mother will discuss it with your father. You are still young, so learn slowly. If you get married in the future, you can earn money to subsidize the family, and your parents-in-law and husband will be very supportive." Be polite."

Even though Jiang Xiaoxue is only five years old, she still knows what marriage is, her face blushes, so she doesn't object to buying books, she listens to her mother in everything.

Then Erniang stood aside and told Jiang Xiaoxue some areas for improvement. Although she couldn't embroider, she was pretty good at making clothes.

Both mother and daughter are self-taught. They are quite talented in needlework. Unlike Xiaomi, it is difficult to thread a needle.
