Chapter 76 Chapter 76
For two consecutive days, a lot of yams were dug back.I didn't go out today, I'm going to get the cotton out, and I want to go to town tomorrow.When you come back, you can slowly harvest the sweet potatoes.

Niangsan sat in the yard and worked.Chen Dou came over and sat down to help.

"Yun Shan, go get your aunt the shandingzi."

The little guy waddled into the house.

"Third sister, where did you get Shandingzi?"

"It's on the mountain. I didn't go up today either. You go back and bring some persimmons to your parents."

Chen Dou came in and saw a lot of persimmons on the window sill. Is there anyone who doesn't like it?There are two persimmon trees in the village, and they can't wait to count how many fruits there are, for fear that some children will pick them secretly.

"Third sister, is there a persimmon tree on the mountain?"

"Yes, there are also hawthorns. Yunshan and the others can't eat them, so you take them home to eat."

Chen Dou was really excited, "Third Sister. Will I hit it with you next time you go up the mountain?"

"Okay, you're also called Chen Tong." If it weren't for that kid who also eats a lot, of course he has to do the work.

"Third sister, let Yunshan and the others stay at home tomorrow, and I will take them with me."

Chen Miao shook her head, "No need, the two of them are obedient and will wait for me obediently."

"Then I'll go to pick cotton with you tomorrow, and I'll work."

Chen Miao thought for a while, this younger sister really hasn't been out, so it's okay to go outside to have a look.Now I haven't heard of instability here, so it's okay to take her out to have a look.

"Well, go back and tell your parents."

Chen Dou is so happy. As a child, of course he is curious about the outside. The adults always say that there are many bad people outside, and they have seen little devils and two dogs, but they still can't stop their curiosity.

The outer shells of the cotton peaches were all cleaned, and five bags of cotton with seeds were filled.

"Third sister, there are quite a few."

"The mountain is airy and grows well."

After the work was done, Chen Dou helped peel the persimmons again. If you want to dry the persimmons, you have to peel them, otherwise you won't be able to dry them.

Yun Shan handed Chen Dou a soft persimmon.

"It's still my big nephew, I'm thinking of my aunt if there's something delicious." Chen Dou was really happy.The two nephews are not yet one year old and already remember themselves.

The persimmons are sweet, she feeds them to her two nephews and eats them herself.

Chen seedlings are dried in the sun, and some of the ones made a few days ago have dried up a lot, and the weather after autumn is just right for drying.

In the future, when Chen Jiang comes back, let him bring some more, and put them in his pocket so that he can eat whenever he is hungry.

At noon, she left her sister for dinner, and steamed egg custard with goat's milk. Although it was quite spicy, it tasted really good.

Yunshan and his brothers love to eat, but cornmeal pancakes must not be eaten.Two of them ate a bowl of egg custard and felt not too full.

In the afternoon, Chen Dou continued to peel the persimmons, and Chen Miao began to peel the chestnuts.It has been in the sun for several days, and the chestnuts make noise when shaken. This should be the separation of the chestnut kernel and skin, which will save a lot of effort when peeling.

"Third sister, is this a wild chestnut?"

"Yeah, I'll grind the noodles later, I think it must be delicious."

"Third sister, do you still remember that the eldest brother and the eldest sister picked it for us, and when they came back, they were beaten by mother."

Chen Miao smiled, "Take some back, steam them and keep them when you're hungry."

"Third Sister, are you going to play cotton tomorrow?" Now that she wants to go up the mountain, Mother should let her go with Third Sister.

"Go. I'm still waiting for the cotton."

In the evening, Chen Dou went back and filled half a basket of persimmons, and the rest were chestnuts, shandingzi, and hawthorn.

"Mom, do you see?"

"Your third sister's?"

"Mm, my third sister and I will go to pick cotton tomorrow, and Chen Tong and I will go up the mountain with my third sister the day after tomorrow. My third sister said there are still a lot of persimmons on the mountain."

Liang Caixia didn't say anything, originally she wanted to cut sweet potato seedlings tomorrow, so it would be fine to let the old girl follow the third girl to do some work.Sweet potatoes are fine a few days later.

Chen Dou happily peeled the persimmon.It is a happy thing to be able to eat dried persimmons in winter.

While she was happily peeling persimmons, Chen Tong came back. "Fourth sister, where did you get the persimmons?"

"The third sister gave it to me. In a few days, the two of us will go with the third sister."

Chen Tong happily ate the shandingzi, and kept sighing, "It's so sweet and delicious, fourth sister, when will the third sister go? I want to eat persimmons."

"The persimmons are not edible yet, they are astringent. The third sister will go to pick cotton tomorrow, and she can go when she comes back. She only has sweet potatoes left, so there is no rush to pick them up."

Chen Dou quickly peeled the persimmons. Instead of putting them on the window sill, she let Chen Tong put them on the roof and fastened them with a flat basket at home, but she should feel distressed if she was afraid of being eaten by house sparrows and magpies. .

Chen Tong always liked to eat, so there were two more edibles at home. He ate a lot of hawthorn when the fourth sister was cooking, but his teeth fell down during dinner. Fortunately, it was porridge at night. Otherwise you have to be scolded.

Chen Miao's mother and son washed up and lay down on the kang to play. Chen Miao told them stories.I know I still don't understand, but it doesn't prevent them from listening to the excitement.

The next day, after Niangsan was full, Chen Miao set up the car, and Chen Dou came over with two sacks on his back.

"Third sister, mother said that she also played the cotton at home."

Every household grows some cotton in every corner.I don't have the ability to change the cotton-padded clothes for everyone every year, but the children grow up fast, so they still have to take out a section of the cotton-padded clothes.Besides, after wearing it for a year, if the cotton coat is too thin, you need to add another layer.

Chen Dou sat in the car coaxing the two nephews, and they still liked the car.

Chen Miao knew the place and drove there.They didn't come early, and there were two orders ahead of them.

In fact, the country people are all the same. They all plant cotton in the corners of the land, and fill their cotton clothes with cotton every year.And now to marry a daughter-in-law, the best way to marry a girl is to accompany her with bedding.So every family will plant some, but not many varieties. Although the price is high, the output is low.Everyone still counts on the land to eat, and growing food is the most cost-effective.

Chen Dou played with his two nephews, and Chen Miao went to the boss and asked if it was OK to fry oil.This is also very good, and there are excuses for eating oil.

Sit and listen to others chatting.

"Girl, which village are you from?"

Chen Miao looked at a woman who looked uncomfortable looking at herself and asked, "I'm from Shenjiazhuang."

"I'm from Caozhuang, we're not far away."

Chen Miao doesn't like this person very much, he looks like a bitter and mean person.So he didn't speak, just bowed his head.

"Girl, where's your adult?" It's really good to look at this girl, if it's for my Qiangzi to be his daughter-in-law.

"I'm married."

"Married?" The middle-aged woman asked with a raised tone.

Chen Miao just nodded this time, what's so strange about getting married?At this time, Chen Dou came over with two nephews.The two little ones jumped on Chen Miao's body.

"You two be honest, it's too noisy."

The two brothers flattered and rubbed against their mother, giggling.

Chen Miao also had a smile on her face and rubbed the heads of her sons, the fluffy hands felt good.
