Chapter 74 Fulfilling the Promise
In the second half of the night, Wanghe Village began to snow.

It fell for three full days, and all parts of the northern border were covered with snow.Even so, the patrols in the villages continued without interruption.

So far, there has been no news of any village being robbed, and peace has returned between the villages.

In the early morning of the second day after the snow stopped, many families were busy, especially those who lived in thatched or earthen houses.

The snow is too thick, if it is not cleared in time, it is easy to crush the beams of the house.

Li Hui's house is a brick and tile house, which is reasonable and unnecessary, but he seldom rests, moves the ladder to the house, and clears the snow.Yan Yixin, Li Yue, and Li Heng were in charge of transporting the vegetable plots and fields in the backyard.

There is an old saying that "wheat is covered with a three-layer quilt in winter, and next year we sleep with steamed buns on our pillows." Although wheat is not grown in the north, there is enough snow in the ground, which can be considered as fertilizer when it springs to moisten the land.

Xu Daguo next door used a rake to climb the ladder to clear the snow. Li Hui saw it and sped up his hand.It's really ironic to say that Xu Daguo has two daughters-in-law, but none of them can climb high, so he let a man in his 50s do it.

Li Hui cleared all the snow from the roofs of the five houses in his house, and moved the ladder to the next door.

"Oh, Huizi, I really don't need you. Your aunt and I, two sister-in-laws are capable."

Xu Gengshi was not polite. After thanking him, he said:

"Don't be brave, if you fall, I will be the one to suffer! What are you two looking at, hurry up and sweep the snow! Can't you do this job?"

Every family has a difficult song.

Xu Daguo and his wife are rare enlightened parents-in-law, but the two daughters-in-law are lazier than the other, and often hide from work for various reasons.This would change Li Hui and Cheng Xue, who had separated from each other a long time ago, so why should they serve them.But people are different, at most, Xu Gengshi babbled a few sentences every day, and his wives and sisters-in-law didn't feel pain or itch after hearing it, as always.

The snow on the roof was scratched and cleaned, and Li Hui carried the ladder home.

When they entered the hospital, they saw Li Heng choking on Cheng Xue, and let him go out to play.Remembering what I promised, I said:

"What are you going to do? Prepare all the back baskets at home. Dad will take you to the back mountain to set up pheasants, and call the scorpion and the roller."

"Really? Okay!"

Li Heng asked and answered by himself, fearing that his father would repent, he excitedly pulled Yan Yixin and went out to call someone.Cheng Xue was a little worried, but unfortunately, the child ran out before she could be called, and in the end she could only remind Li Hui to "be careful".

"Don't worry, I won't take them into the mountains, just have fun."

Tomorrow, he and Xiao Qinglin will go to Fucheng to look at shops, and they will need to walk for six or seven days, and they will have to prepare for the New Year when they come back.If he doesn't fulfill his promise now, he will have no integrity in front of Li Heng.

Cheng Xue went back to the house, took off her shoes and got on the kang, picked up her needle and thread and got ready to work.The quilts that have been dismantled have all been starched and cleaned, and they were sewn out a few years ago, so they were not too busy a year ago.

"Mom, is my father gone?" Li Yue asked.

"No, you go too, and play along for a while."

"I won't go, I'm too old."

Li Yue shook her head lightly, but Cheng Xue still saw hope in her eyes.

"It's only nine years old, how old is it?" Cheng Xue shook her head, "Besides, Brother Xin is going too. Your father is going to bring Shuanzi and Roller this time. I guess Mingzi and the others will follow after hearing about it. It's just right for you to go. Help your father watch them, so your mother can rest assured."

"But this quilt..."

"My mother! Your female celebrities are all taught by your mother. I can't do this job? Go, mother is in good health, don't worry."

Cheng Xue snatched the needle and thread from her hand as she spoke, and told her to wear more.Seeing Li Tian's eyes full of anticipation, he smiled helplessly and shook his head.

"You are still too young. When you are older, you will go with your sister."

"How big is that?" The little guy knew how to ask the time.

Cheng Xue thought for a moment and told her "six years old". The little girl stretched her fingers, then lay down on the pillow and did not move.

"There are still three years, three years is a long time."

The whispered words were heard by Cheng Xue without leaving a word.

Yo, a three-year-old can count?
"Tiantian, Mother has a needle in her hand, how many needles are there on the thread board? How many needles are there in total?"

Li Tian looked at the wiring board not far away, blinked his eyes, and replied:

"There are four wire boards, and there are five in total."

Ouch, this is incredible, the little guy can't read words, but he is very sensitive to numbers.

Cheng Xue muttered addition and subtraction formulas while working, and when the quilt in her hand was finished, Li Tian could already memorize most of it.They are all instant memories, and I guess they will be forgotten after a night of sleep.

But the child is still young, take your time, and you will definitely achieve something.Her daughter doesn't need to be a husband and a child, she can also have her own affairs.

It is also a skill to start a small business, keep accounts and calculate accounts for others.

"Mom, I'm sleepy, I'm asleep."

Cheng Xue put down the needle and prepared to coax the child, but the little one fell asleep immediately.

Sleep in seconds?sharp!
Li Huai had passed Erdaolingzi a long time ago, no one was bothering him now, and the quilt was quick and good.

The original hostess is pretty good, and she has practiced a lot these days.Li Hui and her, as well as Yan Yixin's middle clothes and obscene clothes, were all made by her.Li Yue is only responsible for his younger brother and younger sister.

After the two quilts were finished, Cheng Xue went to the study to get two bolts of gray-blue cotton silk.

This kind of cloth is generally made into Taoist robes, with a straight collar and a large placket, slits on both sides, a hidden hem at the end, and tied with laces.Loose and loose, best worn at home.

Li Hui was not used to wearing Taoist robes, and the color of the cloth was particularly resistant to dirt, so it could just be used as a quilt cover or mattress cover.In this way, there is no need to disassemble and wash with great fanfare when washing again, which is convenient.

Measure, mark with a pencil, and cut.

She misses the sewing machine when she sews.With that guy, it wouldn't take 5 minutes to run a line.But now... 5 minutes to sew half of one side, alas!
At the same time, on the west mountain of the village, Li Hui had brought the children to harvest the first batch of spoils.

Some house sparrows (that is, sparrows), one pheasant, and two hares.

"Uncle Hui Zi, you are so capable, my father would have to bow down to you even if he met you."

Li Wanping said the second sentence from the departure to the present, and the first sentence was "Hello, Uncle Huizi".

Seeing the excited look of the little guy, Li Hui tied up the pheasant with a smile, and said:
"This is all knowledge learned from books. If you study hard, you will be like me in the future."

"The book also tells how to catch house sparrows?" Li Wanping was surprised and continued to ask.

Li Heng ran over, put his arm around his shoulder, and said as he walked:
"There are everything in the book, just read the book. Go for a walk, and there is something in the basket over there. When you get home, paste the house sparrow with yellow mud, and then put it in the stove to bake. Tsk, tsk, tsk... it smells so good." gone."

Li Wanping still had a lot of questions to ask, but he was dragged away by him without a chance.

Li Hui, who had tied up the living animal, stood up and straightened his waist, only to find that his eldest daughter was missing.Looking around, Yan Yixin was behind her in the distance, they seemed to be looking for something.

Look for it, if it's really interesting, Tangtang won't have to worry about her future life...
