Chapter 7 7 Slowly understand
Chen Miao got some news again, but she was quite puzzled. Since she is a carpenter, why is life at home so bad?I don't know how old I am, but I'm really thin, and so is this kid, looking like a general.Haven't been back for several days?The girl who is married and becomes a father won't come back?

"Where's mother? You just hurry up and say it yourself, and you want me to ask one by one?"

"I want to hang the soles with my sister-in-law and my sister-in-law. Third sister. Your mother made all your previous clothes into paper clips." She said carefully.

Chen Miao didn't say anything either.

"Third sister, yesterday the eldest sister came back to fight with mother, why didn't she prepare a dowry for you? It's a pity for you."

Chen Miaoxin said that she knew it must be like this.But it's also very good, so as not to get angry with them, it's best not to communicate.

Scoop out a bowl of hot water, "Drink it." She herself was sitting on the side holding the bowl, already sweating and feeling a little cold.

"Chen Jiang, why do you think I'm so unpopular?"

"Third sister, I think you like to talk."

"I've always wanted to know." It turns out that this body doesn't like to talk, and it won't make others suspect that it will pretend to be dumb in the future.

"Mother likes the eldest brother, the second elder brother, the elder sister, the second sister, and you, and the younger sister is not fond of it."

"That doesn't bother you, does it?"

"My third brother and I are not rare, and neither is my younger brother."

Really able to give birth to nine children.

"Third Sister, if Mother knew that you had a little donkey, she would definitely say that you married the right one."

"Well, Shen Jianfeng told me that if he comes back after a while, if the little donkey is taken away by others, he will definitely make up for it. Before he left yesterday, he even called the village chief to look at the little donkey."

"Our family has a little donkey, mother won't want you."

"Selling me to Shen Jianfeng has nothing to do with my natal family."

"Third sister, do you know that mother and brother-in-law are asking for money?"

"Why don't I know?"

"Mother said that the eldest sister and the second sister have lost money. You asked for three yuan, and the younger sister will at least ask for three yuan in the future."

It's amazing to have such parents.

I ran out of hot water.Feeling hungry and heartburned.She stood up, "Chen Jiang, do you have time to grind noodles with me at night?" This kind of work is not good, and I have never seen it before.

"Let's go, I'll go with you."

Chen Miao went into the Westinghouse and recited the corn that Shen Jianfeng bought yesterday.

"Third sister, are you going to grind?"

"Yeah, keep some as seeds."

"Then go find another bag."

Chen Miao put down the sack helplessly, and she finally picked it up.

I found the bag containing cornmeal, and there was a cloth bag with pudding on top of it, and I also brought it with me. I was really afraid that the food would be in vain.

Chen Jiang is a good guy, he gave out half a bag of corn kernels, so that the two of them won't be so tired if they carry them separately.

The stone mill is in the middle of the village, next to a well, which seems to be old.

There are several women around the stone mill, and now someone is grinding flour.

"Chen Miao, Chen Jiang, come and grind your noodles."

"Sixth Aunt, it's not that I'm fine, I helped my sister carry the corn kernels, and also helped her push the mill."

What is Chen Jiang's name, and Chen Miao calls after him.

Now she is just staring at how other people grind noodles. When she has money in the future, she must buy a stone mill and keep it at home. It would be too troublesome to come here.

It doesn't look complicated.The dustpan has been seen, but it won't work.

Chen Miao thought that she was too far behind, at least she had to prepare a dustpan and a basket.

Chen Jiang was a sweet-talking kid, and after a while he coaxed the old girls into a hearty laugh.

It was quite boring to stay here, and she didn't want to talk, so she just helped to push the mill.

"Chen Miao, has Xiao Feng left?"

"Yeah." Just that one word.

"Cough." The middle-aged woman sighed, "It's not easy to earn some money, Xiaofeng is going to work hard."

Chen Miao didn't know what to say, so she just silently helped push the grindstone.

The corn of the middle-aged woman was finished.The woman named San Niang came over just now.Chen Miao still helped to push the mill together. To be honest, she was so hungry and dizzy now that she couldn't go back yet. The little donkey was still hungry.

Seeing Chen Miao's actions, the three women sighed in their hearts, this girl just doesn't like to talk.They are all from the same village, so they know what's going on with this girl.

"Chen Miao, grind it."

"Sixth aunt, sister-in-law, auntie, you are really good people. My sister doesn't have a dustpan or basket at home. We can borrow yours if we grind first."

"You can talk, kid. Chen Miao, talk more in the future."

Chen Miao heard it clearly this time. This body is called Chen Miao, and the pronunciation is quite similar. From now on, it will be called Chen Miao.

She doesn't plan to eat cornmeal by herself, so the grind is rough. "I don't need a dustpan, that's all,"

Others don't know, but they all sympathize with this girl.I thought it was reluctance to waste things.

"Third Sister, Sixth Aunt has a dustpan here."

"It's okay, let's do it like this." After packing up, he didn't leave, but helped push the roller.Her performance like this made several women agree with her.

"Chen Miao, hurry back, there is a little donkey at home, there is always no one else."

Chen Miao said, and the two siblings went back with food on their backs.

"Chen Jiang, my family has three acres of land. Your brother-in-law brought back some wheat seeds. I want to plant one acre of wheat and one acre of corn. I want to plant half of the remaining acre of cotton and half of sweet potatoes. .”

"Sister, you have to go to the town to buy cotton seeds. It's better to go to the county seat. I heard from my second uncle that the seeds in the town are good."

"What about the sweet potato seedlings?"

"You can exchange something in the village."

Now that Chen Miao knew, she still had to go to the county seat.

When the two siblings arrived home, they hurriedly lit the fire. Chen Miao put more than half of the pot of water and started to boil it.

"Third sister, I'm going back,"

"Wait a minute, you light a fire for me."

Chen Jiang sat down obediently, and when the water was warm, Chen Miao asked the little donkey to get water to drink, then found out the pot, washed the freshly ground cornmeal with water and put it in the pot to make porridge, and put the remaining water with the leather on it. side.

"Third sister, your method is very good."

Chen Miao twitched the corner of her mouth, and said to herself that if she didn't want to ask you to eat, she wouldn't eat it.There are more than 100 tons of grain in the warehouse, enough to feed him for several lifetimes.

This kid Chen Jiang is really good at work, he is good at lighting the fire, at least the porridge is not mushy, and he knows how to control the size of the fire.

The porridge was cooked, and there were four bowls in the house, all of which were filled with seedlings, and then the water with corn husks was poured down, and some cornmeal was added.

"There's no need to light the fire, come over and eat quickly."

"Third sister, I don't want to eat." The third sister has nothing at home.Just such a small amount of food, if I eat it, my third sister will starve in the future.

"Eat as soon as you are told, sit down quickly."

After Chen Miao finished speaking, he entered the room, and there were two peach cakes in his hand, which were also available in ancient times.Take it out without fear of being suspected.

When he came out, he saw Chen Jiang shoveling the pot.

"There's no need to light the fire. Let the little donkey eat when it's cold."
