Chapter 42 042 Aunt Liu
Seeing the loose land in half of the yard, Mimit felt a sense of accomplishment.

She has never done farm work since she was a child, and this is the first time.

Mimi thought that she had to plant the seeds quickly, the side dishes grew fast, and she would be able to eat them in less than a month.

"Sister Zhao, do you have any seeds? I'll exchange them with you."

Zhao Zhiqing wiped off his sweat and shook his head, "I don't have any. You can go to the village to exchange them. The vegetable seeds from Aunt Liu's house in the village are the best. You can exchange a few sugars for a lot, which is enough for you. "

Mimi nodded, "Okay, I'll go to the village right now, Sister Zhao, I'll get you some rice, after a while they finish dinner, you help me cook the rice first, and cook vegetables when I come back .”

Mimi rushed into the house and brought a catty of rice and a handful of millet to Zhao Zhiqing, then took out half a catty of brown sugar and a few fruit candies to pack, asked where Aunt Liu lived, and left in a hurry.

Aunt Liu's house was relatively close, and she walked down the mountain after leaving the educated youth spot, and she arrived after four houses.

The door was open, and Mimi glanced inside.

The square yard is very clean. In addition to the two main houses, there are three side rooms on each side. Mimi can still hear the crowing of chickens coming from the back of the yard.

Mimi didn't go in, but stood outside the courtyard and patted on the wooden door, shouting loudly, "Is Aunt Liu there? I'm a new educated youth."

After a while, three or four people walked out of the main room, and the one walking in front was a little boy, about six or seven years old, wearing a fat gown, barefoot, holding a steamed bun in his hand, and staring at rice in doubt. Mi look.

Mimi gave the little boy a friendly smile, then looked up at the others.

The ones who came out with the boy were all women, one older woman, and two younger women who looked like they should be married too.

Mi Mi smiled shyly at the middle-aged woman: "Aunt Liu, right? I'm a new educated youth, my name is Mi Mi, and I heard Zhao Zhiqing tell me that your family has vegetable seeds, and I want to exchange them with you. point."

When the oldest woman heard that she was here to exchange seeds, she immediately smiled, passed the chopsticks in her hand to a woman behind her, patted the soil on her body, and walked towards Mimi.

"Mi Zhiqing, right? She looks really good-looking, but she's a little thinner. When the autumn harvest has food, she needs to make up for it.

Come, come, come in quickly, drink a bowl of water and rest, I will fetch it for you right away. "

After forcing Mimi into the yard and sitting on a bench, and sending the eldest daughter-in-law to pour water for Mimi, Aunt Liu turned and entered the house.

Liu Mei handed the water to Mi Mi, and said embarrassedly: "My younger brother and sister have just finished their confinement, and there is no brown sugar at home. Don't mind Mi Zhiqing, just drink some water first to moisten your throat."

Mimi took the water and said with a smile, "I don't mind. I don't like brown sugar water, but this well water. It's so sweet. Thank you sister-in-law."

Liu Mei smiled more sincerely, "You speak really nicely. As expected of you, you are from the city. Unlike us, who are illiterate and can't speak."

Mimi rolled her eyes and asked curiously, "Is there no literacy class in the village?"

Liu Mei waved her hand, "What should I do? I'm going to be exhausted every day, how can I have the energy to learn words again? No one will listen to me.

To put it bluntly, people like us who are blind with their eyes open can’t understand even if they listen. What the educated youths say is too difficult. Listening to it is like a monk reciting scriptures, and he falls asleep quickly. "

After speaking, she suddenly realized that she was about to say what was in her heart, Liu Mei was a little embarrassed, and her ears were a little red.

What's the matter?Why did you speak your mind?What a joke!
Liu Mei stopped talking, another woman standing in the yard walked forward with a smile, and sat down next to Mi Mi, "Mi Zhiqing looks really nice in that outfit, doesn't it cost a lot of money?"

Mimi blinked and turned to look at the woman beside her.

What does it matter to you whether I have money or not?What do you mean by that?Why does it sound like you want me to borrow money from you?

If there is no loan, I will die if I die.

"It didn't cost any money, it was given by a classmate, who is this?"

I have no money, don't ask me to borrow money.

The woman smiled, "I am the second daughter-in-law of the Liu family. My name is Zhou Hong. I have the same name as Zhao Zhiqing, whom your youth ordered. Is it easy to remember?"

Only then did Mi Mi know that Zhao Zhiqing's name is Zhao Hong, but what's your name is none of my business?Why do I need to remember your name?
Mimi's smile didn't reach her eyes, and she felt that Zhou Hong was a bit weird, her words and deeds were unimaginable, making people puzzled.

Not knowing what Zhou Hong wanted to do, Mi Mi didn't want to talk to her anymore, and lowered her head to drink water.

Seeing that Mimi ignored her, Zhou Hong kept drinking water with her head down, and the smile on her face faded.

While drinking water, Mimi looked up at the little boy, who was still staring at her, and smiled at him friendly, "What's your name? How old are you?"

The little boy didn't speak, and hid behind Liu Mei shyly, showing half of his small face and looking at Mi Mi.

Liu Mei dragged him out, "This child, I won't say anything to you when I ask you, don't mind Mi Zhiqing, the child is afraid of being born."

"No, she looks good."

The little boy who was originally silent spoke up and immediately refuted Liu Mei.

When Mimi heard the little boy praise her for being pretty, she smiled again, and took out a handful of fruit candy from her pocket, "Come here, I have candy here."

The little boy didn't move, he looked up at Liu Mei, "Mom."

Liu Mei pulled her son and refused, "How embarrassing, put it away quickly, this thing is precious."

Pulling the little boy over and stuffing the fruit candy into his hand, "No matter how expensive it is, it's for people to eat. No one eats it. No matter how good it is, it's useless. Eat it, don't listen to your mother."

Liu Mei wanted to refuse, but seeing the longing in her son's eyes, she was immediately speechless, "Zhuzi, thank you to my sister."

Zhu Zi said "thank you" softly, and hid behind Liu Mei again.

Aunt Liu had already taken the seeds, but she didn't go out when she walked to the door of the house. Instead, she stood there watching Mimi talking to Liu Mei. Seeing Mimi giving fruit candy to her grandson, Aunt Liu's smile deepened.

"Mi Zhiqing, can you see if these are enough? If not, I'll get them for you."

Mimi stood up and took a bag of seeds, and asked with a smile: "Aunt Liu, Zhao Zhiqing said that the land is only divided into two points. I don't understand these, I don't know if these are enough?"

Aunt Liu slapped her thigh, "Then what I got is really good, enough for you, what? You want to open a piece of land yourself? Would you like your uncle to help you?"

Mimi waved her hand quickly, "No, no, no, how can I use my uncle to do it? Zhao Zhiqing and I have finished loosening the soil. I will plant it tomorrow when I have time. When the vegetables grow well, I will also give them to Aunt Liu. Bring some."

Aunt Liu smiled and waved her hands, "No, no, I have a vegetable patch in the backyard, enough to eat. If you don't have any vegetables to eat these days, come and gather them at any time, and take care of enough!"

Mimi smiled, thinking of the crowing of Aunt Liu's rooster, she asked for a few more eggs.

In the end, Mimi exchanged half a catty of brown sugar for ten eggs. Before leaving, she agreed with Aunt Liu to save some more for her to exchange.
