Chapter 77
Chen Dou also sat on the side, and the cotton of the two families was packed at home, so there was no need to go here to pick up sundries like they did.

The child is young, and he has never been to other people's homes. Seeing so many people naturally feels fresh, and he moves curiously to follow the movements of outsiders.

Chen Miao looked at his sons and smiled.These two boys will definitely not stop in the future, and it is a good thing for boys to be more lively.Just let them play by themselves.

Picking cotton is actually a bad job, as it will be sucked into the nose, which is very uncomfortable.

It was almost noon and it was not their turn yet.Chen Miao also didn't want the children to stay here for too long, so the two sisters carried the two children to the car.

What Chen Miao brought was corn bread, but there were dried vegetables and oil residue in it. Although it was cold, it should not be unpalatable.

I brought goat's milk for the two children, and went to the side to light the pot and put it on top to heat it up.After pouring out two bowls and fire, I went to Tanmian's house to ask for water, and the two sisters could also have hot water to drink.

Chen Miao fed the two children, and Chen Dou found a branch and inserted the steamed buns to roast by the fire.

The two sisters eat after the two children are full, and Chen Miao will put a piece in the mouths of the two children so that they can be more honest.

I went to see it after dinner, and estimated that it would be their turn in an hour. It is not slow to pick cotton, but it takes time to extract oil.It's not easy to come out, even if it's late today, it will be deep-fried.

Chen Miao asked Chen Dou to take care of the two children, and she went to work.Wearing a headscarf, a mask, and wrapped tightly.

The one who plucked the cotton kept exaggerating the velvet height of the cotton seedlings. She just said that the planting was sparse and a lot of fertilizer was used.In fact, any crop with good ventilation will of course grow well.

At the end of the weighing, there were actually 32 catties of cotton, which is really a lot. With the new bedding in the house, it would be no problem for their mother to make cotton clothes.

My mother's family played [-] catties of cotton, and it was no problem to fill the cotton coats with four of them.

The cottonseeds have been soaked in hot water just now, and they are stuffy, and the cotton seeds are pressed for oil just right after being bombed.

Until it was dark.The cottonseed oil was just fried, and Chen Miao got five catties of cottonseed oil, and her mother's family had a catty of two taels.

It's getting dark now, so the driving speed is slow. I just walked through it when I came here, and I still don't know the way.

The family was already very anxious, and the two girls hadn't come back yet. Chen Dongsheng still came out to look for them.He was about to reach the town and heard the movement in front of him, and he couldn't see it in the dark, so he yelled.

When Chen Dou heard his father's words, he agreed loudly, and both father and daughter were relieved.

Yun Shan and his brothers were unwilling to follow their aunt when it was dark, so it was just right, her father was driving the car, and she was sitting in the back holding the two children.

Chen Dou and her father were talking about picking cotton today, and they talked in a small mouth. It's not like they don't like talking. It depends on who they talk to.

Chen Dongsheng was a little anxious, it was already so late, it was cold, and he was afraid that his two grandchildren would get sick.

The car stopped directly in front of Chen Miao's house. The father and daughter carried cotton and cottonseed cakes on their backs, and the other carried the oil tank home.

Chen Miao fed the sheep and donkeys, and also ate chickens, ducks and geese after dark.It feels deserted if there is no fire in the house for a day, and cotton picking is also a dirty job. I still boil water for bathing, and my mother eats three times while boiling water.

You don't have to worry about catching a cold when you take a bath in the space.It was not until the middle of the night that the two children were released, and the room became warmer.

After breakfast the next day, I carried the two children up the mountain to remove the sweet potatoes, and the seedlings of the sweet potatoes were given to the donkeys and sheep. Country people are not in the habit of wasting things.

After a whole day, the sweet potatoes were finally dug out.There is a thousand catties, and they are all divided.There is no injury, and the good ones are put away separately, and those with pick injury and small ones are steamed and dried.

It was already dark when I got home, and all the gains from four or four years had arrived home.

The next day, Chen Dou came over, "Sister San. I still want to help you remove the sweet potatoes, but you have already removed them?" He also squatted down to help wash the sweet potatoes.

"Did you get rid of everything at home?" Chen Miao asked while washing the sweet potatoes.

"Yeah, my parents went yesterday." Chen Dou wanted to ask when he could go up the mountain.She was still thinking about persimmons. Today, my younger brother followed her father to pull sweet potato seedlings in the field without any reluctance. She also told herself to come over and ask her third sister if she could go up the mountain tomorrow.

The two sisters worked fast, and they couldn't use a scraper even with Chen Dou around.This way the work will be quicker.

"Chen Dou, go back and work with your mother. If you have nothing to do tomorrow, come over early with Chen Tong and let's go up the mountain." Looking at the little girl's appearance, she knew it was because of this incident.

"Well, we will definitely be early tomorrow. I will go back and follow my mother to cut the sweet potatoes. Third sister, don't you want to dry the sweet potatoes?"

Chen Miao shook his head. "No, I don't like to eat it either. Just dry more dried sweet potatoes." Sweet potato noodles are raw sweet potatoes cut into slices, dried and then crushed.She had eaten it when she was a child, but she didn't like it. She felt that it was slippery and dark, and she really didn't like it.

After seeing off the little girl, the sweet potatoes in the pot were already cooked, picked them out and put them on the mat, and began to peel and steam the second pot.

The two children are quite fond of sweet potatoes, so pick out a bowl for them to eat, so that they can be more honest.

Until noon, the three pots of sweet potatoes were out of the pot, and two mats were dried.

When the children took a nap, she took out a piece of the cotton padded jacket for herself.I didn't pay attention to my height, but I tried to wear it this morning and realized that the legs and sleeves of the cotton trousers were a section short.I secretly measured it, and it turned out to be one six five.It should be a lot longer.

In fact, it is also normal. I am only 16 years old and less than [-] years old, and it is time to grow my body.

Chen Tong knew that he could go up the mountain tomorrow.There is no need to order me to work together in the afternoon.

The next day, Chen Miao was feeding the animals when she heard a knock on the door, and she still carried the two children on her back.

"Third sister, mother said that she will take the child back and watch it."

Chen Miao shook her head, "No, the two of them can't see that I'm quitting, so let's go."

I don't have anything missing, I have already collected a lot.

Today's children are not squeamish, they work with the family for a long time, and they are not slow to go up the mountain.

It has been agreed on the way that we must pick persimmons first.In fact, persimmons are sweet, so there is nothing you don’t like.

After all, Chen Tong is a boy who climbs trees faster than girls.He picks it on the top, and the two sisters pick it up on the bottom. Even if it breaks, it is not afraid.When I go back, I have to dry them into dried persimmons.

Soon two baskets were full, and two more bags were also full. "Let's go back, send it back first, or you won't be able to carry it on your back."

This is a lot. I have already said twice to go back first, but my siblings are not willing.Can't wait to take it all off.

There was a bag in Chen Miao's basket, and she walked with the two children in her arms. The three siblings all carried too much and heavy, and they walked very slowly.

She also knew Chen Tong thoroughly, this was what he wanted to eat, she didn't cry out even when she was tired, she gritted her teeth and followed behind, and coaxed him to come if something happened in the future.

When they arrived at the sorghum field, Chen Miao stopped to give corn bread to his younger siblings.It's almost one o'clock and I haven't eaten yet.
