Chapter 46

Song Hongguo finished spreading all the fertilizers and was too tired to talk. Fortunately, imagining that the thin wheat seedlings could absorb the nutrients happily, she was in a good mood.

"It's three o'clock, you two should rest for a while, and you can pull it out tomorrow."

Ling Zhi didn't stop, and said without raising his head, "I'm not tired yet."

It was much easier than when he was on the farm, no one was rushing him, let alone making trouble, and he was working on his own land, so he felt that he was full of energy.

But Ling Yuan always listened to her, got up and patted the dirt on his hands, trotted to her side, raised his pretty face and said, "Brother just hates work, if you don't let him finish pulling it out today, he won't be able to sleep."

"...All right." Song Hongguo had no choice but to tell, "Then pull it out slowly, and I'll take Xiaoyuan to make a quilt while it's still bright."

"Ah."

Before making the quilt, Song Hongguo tidied it up from head to toe. She changed the clothes she wore for work and soaked them in the basin. She rinsed her rain boots with water. She even washed her hair, wrapped it in a towel, and carefully wiped her face. The water from the face cream on his hands was tender, so he went to the main room in cotton slippers.

There are two bedrooms in the main room, and the kang in the east room is connected to the stove, so she plans to sleep here in the future. She asked Ling Yuan to go to the dining room to bring some chopped wood and light the fire. She wanted to try the stove, okay? easy to use.

The result, of course, was better than she had imagined.

The fire was very hot, and there was no smoky smell in the main room. She carried a pot of water and sat on the stove. The small iron door on one side was open, and a thick log was stuffed inside, so no one was watching. It was very worry-free and labor-saving. After a while, I felt that the room was warmed up, and even the earth kang was warm to the touch.

Song Hongguo was very satisfied, and it would be right to cook and burn the kang for heating in the future.

Now the kang is covered with mats that Zhao Baoqing brought her. The mats are made of local reeds, the color is natural, and the treatment is very particular. It is more than one meter long. If you lie north and south, this big kang can sleep seven or eight people without feeling crowded.

It's just that the kang is a bit high, Song Hongguo saw Ling Yuan struggling to climb, smiled and helped him take off his shoes and carried him up.

Ling Yuan cheered and rolled on the kang, and then he spread the quilt for her in a decent way. At this time, the quilt is divided into outer and inner. The big white cotton cloth, in the idiom, the surface and the inside are different. When making it, first spread the surface, and then layer by layer cotton to make it evenly thick, and then spread the inside. The surface is bigger than the inside. It is convenient for hemming, and two people need to pull the quilt cover hard before sewing to avoid wrinkles.

Song Hongguo's needlework is not bad, it is more than enough to make a quilt, she starts sewing from the four sides, the stitches are not too big and not too small, very well-proportioned, Ling Yuan helps her thread the needles, and with the cooperation of the mother and son, the speed is much faster , However, this is the case, it took an hour to finish a quilt.

The quilt is one and a half meters long, with six catties of cotton wadding. The cotton is all new, and she took it out from the system award, but the inside and outside are old ones from the original owner, because the quilts in the system are covered with quilts. , the outside and inside are all plain little florals, put on a quilt cover, it doesn't matter what the inside looks like, as long as it is warm and comfortable.

There is also a lot of old cotton left over. After all, the original owner brought four beds of quilts and quilts. Excluding those that are really bad, they can be pieced together to make two large quilts, two meters wide and nearly three meters long. It is thickly spread under the body, and it does not panic at all.

The quilt is similar to the quilt, because when you sleep, you need to lay a layer of sheets on it, which can cover the dirt and ugliness, so you don't need to be so meticulous about the stitches. This way, the speed is faster, but it doesn't wait After that, the sky darkened, and Song Hongguo felt that his eyes were a little dry.

At this time, Ling Zhi finished his work and entered the house. Seeing the finished quilt, his eyes flashed, "How much cotton did it take?"

"Six catties." Song Hongguo stretched, planning to continue after eating.

"It's all new cotton?"

"Well, the old ones have been made into mattresses, so there's no waste."

Lexus asked hesitantly, "So much cotton... did you bring it all from Province Y?"

Song Hongguo asked without changing expression, "Otherwise?"

Ling Zhi is silent, yes, is there another explanation?Cotton is a strategic material, more precious than other things, and more difficult to buy. Cotton tickets are limited, so many catties at once...

If it wasn't brought by my hometown, it must be a miracle.

It's not good for a son to be too smart. Look, she felt guilty when she was questioned at the moment. This also reminded her that she must not just rely on the space and system to add things at will in the future. Everything is counted, if she can't explain the rational way, she might overturn the car.

"What do you two want to eat tonight?" Song Hongguo changed the subject for fear that he would hold on to the cotton again, "I've worked hard today, so reward yourself with something good."

"Okay!" Ling Yuan responded enthusiastically, and did not forget to praise her, "I like to eat whatever my mother does."

But Ling Zhi couldn't say a word, "Don't you have vegetable dumplings? What else do you want to eat?" After finishing speaking, he went to stare at Ling Yuan again, "Don't keep making fun of me."

Ling Yuan curled his lips and hummed softly.

Song Hongguo reminded helplessly, "Vegetable dumplings are a staple food, so there must be side dishes, right?"

"Oh, let's mix some wheatworms in the cold, I pulled out a basket full."

"...Wheatwort must be soaked for several hours in advance before eating, otherwise it will be very bitter, so let's eat that tomorrow morning, and how about we stewed cabbage vermicelli tonight?"

"I agree!" Ling Yuan yelled in a childish voice against his brother's stare, echoing Song Hongguo.

Song Hongguo happily gave him a high-five, "Two to one, the minority obeys the majority."

Lexus, "..."

He can't control her, so in the future, he can only deal with his younger brother with all his strength, if he can't do it, he will use force to suppress her to see if he is on his side.

……

There was still a fire in the stove in the main room, and Song Hongguo stuffed some wood into it, boiled millet porridge first, and then went to prepare the ingredients, Chinese cabbage, vermicelli, she also cut a few slices of bacon, and took the piece of tofu bought in the morning I also cut them up, put them in a round dustpan, and moved the seasonings needed for cooking to the main room. After the porridge was cooked, I replaced it with an iron pot.

Lard is the most delicious stewed cabbage vermicelli. There was a small jar in the original owner's box. She dug up a large piece, which shocked Ling Yuan. Subconsciously, he looked out the window. From the window of the main room, he could see the entire backyard. , right now, his elder brother is scrubbing and washing clothes on the edge of the well platform, if he sees this, why don't he jump up?
