After entering November, there were several "big smoke bombs" on the farm, and many children were kept at home by their parents and were not allowed to go out to play.
Today is another rare good day. Many children in the family compound came out to play, and many family members came out for a walk.
As soon as Hao Chunmei came out of the service center, she was blocked by several girls at the gate of the family compound.
Several little girls were playing skipping rope, and Hao Chunmei was the best at it in the family compound. Everyone pestered Hao Chunmei to play with them, and no matter what Hao Chunmei said, they refused to let her go home.
Hao Chunmei was thinking about going home to comfort her mother and was worrying about how to solve the problem. When she saw Qiao Baozhu coming back with a large bundle of twine, her eyes lit up.
"Auntie!"
Hao Chunmei loosened the rubber band in her hand and rushed to Qiao Baozhu shouting.
Qiao Baozhu was startled by the little girl who suddenly rushed in front of her. Before she could react, she saw Hao Chunmei taking the twine from her hand.
"Aunt, let me help you get it."
"Auntie, are you tired from work?"
"Aunt, you've worked so hard. You have to work during the day, and you have to twist hemp ropes after get off work. Aunt, you are the most powerful woman in our family compound."
Qiao Baozhu was confused by Hao Chunmei's constant calling of "Auntie", but she didn't say anything, wanting to see what the child was up to.
Hao Chunmei cleverly took a ball of twine from Qiao Baozhu and waved to her friends: "You guys play, I want to help my aunt carry the twine."
Hao Chunmei boldly took Qiao Baozhu's hand and said with a smile, "Come on, auntie, I'll take you home."
At this time, Qiao Baozhu also realized that the little girl didn't want to stay here and jump rubber rope, and was using herself as an excuse.
She smiled and supported Hao Chunmei: "Chunmei is a good child who is willing to help others. Auntie will reward you with two pieces of fruit candy."
Her word of reward made Hao Chunmei very excited. She was grinning and laughing foolishly, and she threw the heavy hemp rope she was holding onto her shoulders.
He excitedly pulled Qiao Baozhu's hand and urged her impatiently, "Okay, okay, auntie, let's go quickly and take the small road."
The little girls who were skipping rubber ropes nearby were so envious, but no matter how fun rubber ropes were, they couldn't compare to fruit candies.
One of the children loosened the rubber band in his hand and trotted a few steps to catch up with Hao Chunmei. He eagerly grabbed the twine from her hand, and said as he grabbed the twine: "Auntie, I'll help you carry the twine too."
The little girls behind reacted and swarmed over to catch up, surrounding Qiao Baozhu.
With smiles on their faces and lights in their eyes, they rushed to please Qiao Baozhu: "Aunt, I can also make hemp ropes."
"Aunt, I know how to heat the kang. I do it very well and there is no smoke."
"Aunt, I can sweep the yard. I sweep my yard every day. It's very clean."
Several little girls were chattering, vying to show themselves in front of Qiao Baozhu. They all wanted to exchange their labor for candy from Qiao Baozhu.
Qiao Baozhu lived two lives, and the biggest regret was that her only child died young.
Perhaps it was because of regret. Every time Qiao Baozhu saw a child after her rebirth, she always felt more joy than regret.
How could Qiao Baozhu not see what the little girls were thinking? A few pieces of fruit candy are not something precious to her.
But what the little girls said made Qiao Baozhu blush.
She couldn't heat the kang well, and when there was a strong wind and Shen Xiao was not at home, black smoke would always come out of her house.
Her yard was always swept by Shen Xiao after he came back from get off work.
There are no secrets in the family compound. Even the children know that Qiao Baozhu is a lazy woman who doesn't like to work.
A lazy woman is a lazy woman. Qiao Baozhu doesn't care what others think of her.
People who work don't mind her being lazy, so let outsiders say whatever they want.
Qiao Baozhu was just too lazy to make hemp ropes, so the kids came at the right time.
She said with a smile: "Okay, all of you come and help, I will treat you with fruit candies."
