70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 336 hate marriage
She has been here for so many days, but she has never eaten a grain of rice. When she was in her hometown, even if the family expected her to marry a good man to help the family, she was relatively favored, and her grandmother was not willing to give her a few meals. times rice.

"Why do you have such a big face, you even have the face to fight for food with a baby of how old? I don't know how you said it!" Before Xie Xiaonian could speak, Zhang Chunping sarcastically said.

"One place has one rule. It's popular for us to give extra meals to children, and I can feed my own food to children as I want. Similarly, if I don't want to give it to anyone, she won't be able to eat it." Xie Xiaonian said He didn't spare He Hongmei this time, and replied bluntly.

"If you don't eat it, don't eat it. Who cares? Isn't it just some rotten rice, as if someone has never eaten it!" Seeing that she couldn't eat it, He Hongmei glared at the group of delicious children who were eating, and said fiercely.

But no matter how fierce her expression is, in the end she can only nibble on the steamed bun obediently, otherwise she will starve.

In the afternoon, Xie Xiaonian and the others found a few chestnut trees. After Xie Xiaonian and Zhang Chunping knocked down the chestnuts with a bamboo pole, they said to the children: "You don't need to do anything else, just put the chestnuts in a bag. Remember to wear gloves. Don't tie your hands, let's get another tree. Xiang Hong is the biggest, take care of your brothers and sisters!"

"Well, I see!"

After a few people had been busy for half an afternoon, Xie Xiaonian finally realized something was wrong, Lingling seemed to keep repeating the action of picking chestnuts, like a robot, and never stopped.

Xie Xiaonian hurried forward, and while pressing her arms and legs, she said to Lingling: "Lingling, I see that you haven't stopped all this time, are you tired, are your arms sore? Why are you so obedient? Letting you pick up chestnuts makes you feel ashamed." Keep picking, never resting."

"That's right, Xiao Nian, I didn't notice it if you didn't tell me, she was silent, she seemed to have never stopped working, such a young child, how can the body bear it!" Zhang Chunping also hurried forward and said .

"It's okay, I'll rub it for her, and just give it a massage before going to bed at night, otherwise my arms and legs will be so sore that I won't be able to lift it up tomorrow." Xie Xiaonian said distressedly.

"Auntie, I'm sorry, I didn't notice that sister Lingling was working all the time!" Xiang Hong felt guilty for not taking good care of her sister.

"It's okay, it's not your fault, Auntie didn't even notice it at first! You all take a break, eat something, drink some water, you've been tired for so long." Xie Xiaonian suggested.

"Okay, I just happened to be tired, so I can take a break. There's no way I can finish picking up things on this mountain, so I can't tire people anymore!" Zhang Chunping stretched her waist and said.

Afraid that the children would be tired, after Xie Xiaonian finished feeding them, he let them play and didn't ask them to help with work.

"Xiao Nian, have you made a lot of them?" Wu Shuqin said when he and others came in the evening, seeing several large and small bags on the ground.

"We found a few chestnut trees and harvested a lot of them. You have received a good deal!" Xie Xiaonian replied with a smile.

"Well, we can also harvest, let's transport the things down the mountain first, it will be dark soon."

"Row!"

After several people helped move the things to the house, Wu Shuqin whispered to Xie Xiaonian and Zhang Chunping: "The apples on the mountain are partially ripe, and we picked them back. If you didn't go, I will put your share in your yard." It's in the corner, you guys put it away quickly so that no one can see it!"

"What do you give us for what you have worked so hard to pick?" Xie Xiaonian said.

"That's right, if we want to eat, we can pick it ourselves!" Zhang Chunping also refused.

"Didn't you go there today, and there are just some apples, save them for the children to eat, or dry them and save them, otherwise they will go bad after a long time!" Wu Shuqin replied.

"That's fine, then I'll put it away quickly, and I can't let my niece see it, or I won't even think about keeping any of them!" After Zhang Chunping finished speaking, she thanked everyone and hurried home!
"Having been busy for so long, drink some water first!" Xie Xiaonian greeted.

"Xiao Nian, don't be so busy. We are not thirsty. It's getting late and it's time to cook. Let's go back first and come to play with you after dinner!" Chen Xiuhong said.

"That's right, let's go back and cook first, and we'll talk in the evening!" Yuan Xiaoxia also answered.

Now they all regard Xiao Nian's house as their stronghold, and they will get together at night if they have nothing to do.

"That's all right, you guys go back and cook quickly, the children should be hungry after running around all day!" Xie Xiaonian nodded and said.

In order to prevent the dew at night from drying the chicken feathers in the yard, after entering the house, Xie Xiaonian put the tray of chicken feathers into the living room before washing hands and cooking.

"Xiao Nian, when I came to deliver apples to you in the afternoon, I saw chicken feathers drying in your yard. What are you doing with so many chicken feathers?" Wu Shuqin looked at the chicken feathers in the living room when she came to Xie Xiaonian's house after dinner. asked.

"It's too cold here in winter, so I thought about using chicken feathers and duck feathers to make quilts, cotton jackets and so on for the children." Xie Xiaonian explained.

"Can chicken feathers and duck feathers work? Can that stuff be warmed by cotton?" Zhang Chunping asked suspiciously.

"I think it should be warm. Didn't you see that chickens, ducks and geese can't freeze to death without clothes in winter? It must be because their feathers are warmer." Yuan Xiaoxia analyzed.

"I also think it can be done. If it is really possible to make clothes out of chicken feathers and duck feathers, which are warmer than cotton jackets, then I will also make one." Chen Xiuhong, who is most receptive to new things, received it.

"Hey, I can't. I feel uncomfortable when I think about wearing chicken feathers and duck feathers. It's better to wear cotton." Zhang Chunping said with disgust.

Whether everyone likes it or not, Xie Xiaonian did not explain, describe or sell too much. When she makes things, these people will definitely be directly conquered by the warmth and lightness of duvets and down jackets. Xie Xiaonian is very happy about this. Have confidence.

"If this chicken feather is sewn into the quilt, will it come out? If it pricks people and makes your whole body uncomfortable, then it's no matter how warm you can be." Wu Shuqin said sharply.

"It should be fine. I use relatively soft fluff, and in order to prevent it from running out, I am going to sew the chicken feathers in with cotton cloth first, fix them one by one, and then add layers to the clothes and quilts. Cotton, in this way, it will keep you warm and comfortable!" Xie Xiaonian replied.

"The method you mentioned is quite good, but it's a bit of a waste of cloth." Wu Shuqin nodded and said.

"Doesn't it cost money to buy cotton, and it's not warm enough if it's thin, so it's better to use that money to buy some cloth to make down jackets and duvets. It's more cost-effective after all."

"Then you should try it this year first. If possible, we will save chicken feathers and follow suit next year. Anyway, we have stayed here for so many years and are used to the cold here. But I don't know if Xiuhong can adapt to this place." How's the weather?" Zhang Chunping continued.

"I'm fine. BJ is cold too. Didn't I get over it anyway? Besides, when I first came here, it was still cold here. I don't feel it's unbearably cold." Chen Xiuhong said indifferently.

"The weather after the new year is different from that of the previous year. I hope you won't cry because of the cold. You don't know. When Xiao Nian first came here, she didn't go out much. At that time, we were saying that she must It was froze, and I couldn't get out of the bed." Zhang Chunping joked with a smile.

"Hahaha, there was really a reason why I didn't go out at the time. It was really cold when I first came here, and I couldn't get used to it at all." Xie Xiaonian also said, but there was a part of joking in these words.

"Is it that cold? I don't believe it! I want to experience it this year and see how cold it is? You all have such a deep impression." Chen Xiuhong raised her head and said in disbelief.

But when she was too cold to reach out, she knew how cold the weather was here.

"By the way, have you put away the apples I put in the yard for you? Didn't your niece see it? Didn't she produce any more moths?" Wu Shuqin asked Zhang Chunping worriedly.

"I didn't see it. She ran on the mountain for a day today. Although she didn't work much, she was exhausted. No, she went back to the house to rest as soon as she got home. She didn't notice the apples in the yard. Now I put The apples are locked in my bedroom, she must not be able to find them." Zhang Chunping said proudly.

"That's good, as long as she doesn't see it, otherwise she may find out that we played with her today, and your family will be turned upside down by her. But she is so tired today, don't say if she can't eat well, she hasn't eaten yet. If she finds the fruit she wants, she might not follow us up the mountain next time." Xie Xiaonian really didn't want to go up the mountain with He Hongmei again.

"It's best not to follow, that way we won't have to accompany her wandering around the mountains, and we won't be able to get anything!" Zhang Chunping said disgustedly.

"Your niece is so annoying, why don't you send her back? How long is she going to live in your house? You don't even know what people in the yard are saying about her!" Chen Xiuhong said with her mouth curled.

"What are you talking about? Why don't I know?" Zhang Chunping asked suspiciously.

"You go to work all day, and you don't have time to chat with the people in the compound. Of course I don't know. I heard someone say yesterday that you, a niece, like to mess around in the compound when you have nothing to do. Whether it's a soldier on guard or a young man When she sees her, she will come forward to greet and talk to him, regardless of whether he has a family or not. Those gossiping women say that your niece hates marriage, and she jumps up when she sees a man, shameless Well, especially the family members of the military officers who were accosted, they will spare no effort to blackmail your niece!" Chen Xiuhong gossiped.
