In Qiu Dashan's memory, such activities where the whole family goes out together are almost unheard of, let alone the two little ones.
Since they were mainly there for taking photos, the whole family dug out their most decent clothes, those without patches or with fewer patches.
Li Qingmei untied her thick braid, untied it from beginning to end, and then braided it back into a long braid again. She didn't tie it into a bun, but just threw it behind her butt.
She also dug out the pair of Dacron pants that she had always been reluctant to wear, wanting to take a picture of the brightest side of her home.
"Damn it, I won't wear these shoes anymore, okay?" Qiu Dashan already had a pair, and this pair would be enough for the third child to wear when his feet grew taller.
"Just wear it if it's given to you. We'll buy you a pair that will fit you when the third brother goes today." Li Qingmei was very excited. Thinking that she might be going out soon, she sent all the dried eggplant peels and chili peels to Qingju.
Her second child has now been transferred to live with her brother-in-law, and she hopes they can help take care of him on weekdays.
After thinking for a while, she packed another bag of dried dates and Cynomorium songaricum, all of which were dried in the spring. As she was living a life of thin hair, she had accumulated more and more of these, so she put them all into the package.
"Don't just stand there. Go borrow a mule cart from Uncle Wu, bring him some dry food, and give him ten cents to the team. We can use it without any complaints from the team, and rest assured."
Qiu Jianshe took the money and hurried to get it done. "Just take two pieces of dry food and let Uncle Wu eat some steamed buns. I'll make some soft ones and send them to him separately later."
They often borrow mule carts. Most of the time, Uncle Qiu Wu never reported it to the team. They just used it. These are conveniences given by others. Remember them!
There were five of them going out, and Uncle Qiu Wuye used a large cart for delivering grain, with two mules harnessed to it, one in front and one behind.
Qiu Jianshe and Qiu Dashan sat on the handlebars of the cart, one on each side, while Li Qingmei and the remaining two children sat on the cart at the back.
The tailgate of the cart was removed and placed on the car. Qiu Dashan sat upside down with his legs hanging down. He leaned lazily back on Qiu's mother, flipping through the book that Qiu Yuling brought back this time, and didn't care about anything else.
Only Qiu Yuling was a real idler. She simply put the straw hat on her face, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, but in fact her consciousness had already sunk into the farm.
I just sold a large number of livestock, and the remaining ones are all half-grown. The crops will take another month to harvest. Only the honey was not touched last time, and now there is quite a lot of it stored up.
Feeling that this business was viable, Qiu Yuling prepared to expand the scale of bee colony breeding. She sold honey and wild vegetables and flowers with medicinal value that she cultivated through transplantation, and put them together to expand the scale to box bees at one time.
The farm is perfect for raising bees. There is no need to worry about them stinging people, and there are flowers that bloom all year round. The most important thing is that the selling price is high. The system buys back the 1,000 kilograms of honey she just produced at a price of two yuan per kilogram.
Her one hundred beehives can produce an average of one thousand kilograms of honey per month, which is quite worthwhile.
After she had enough money, she loved to look at the expensive and functional products in the system mall, but as soon as she looked at them, she became short of money again.
As for that strange pond, she is still in the exploratory stage. At least there is no obvious income at present, but she has a lot of derivatives, such as frogs, snakes and rats.
That day she went to see the paddy fields and suddenly stepped on a small snake. She was so scared that she almost died at that moment.
"Yuling, wake up, we're here." Li Qingmei shook her daughter, who was drooling while sleeping, with a look of disgust. She raised her hand to wipe it with her sleeve, but then she remembered that she had just changed into a new sweat jacket before going out and had to take pictures soon, so she put it down again.
He looked left and right but couldn't find anything suitable. On a whim, he grabbed the mule's tail and wiped it.
"Mom, what are you doing!" Qiu Yuling leaned back tactically. She didn't know when she really closed her eyes. As soon as she opened her eyes, her mother grabbed the mule's tail and wanted to do something bad to her.
He is already an adult, but he still plays pranks. It is obvious that he is in a good mood because he is out for a walk.
The mule was frightened by the tug on its tail, protesting with a loud "ang wu, ang wu" sound. Furthermore, Qiu Yuling was so far away, Li Qingmei let go of her hand and said, "Wipe the saliva (pronounced "han" in Qiu's mother's dialect) off your face."
This girl complains about this and that all the time. She always sleeps with her arms and legs spread out and drooling, but she never complains about herself.
So you're using a mule's tail stained with feces and urine to wipe your own saliva? Qiu Yuling made up a story of childlike maternal love, but it's nothing!
She walked angrily to the edge, chasing after Qiu's mother, and seriously rejecting the belated maternal love.
"Stop running around." Li Qingmei almost walked past the photo studio, and her energetic train of thought led her astray.
On the way, I wanted to tidy up her messy hair, but she twisted and turned like a big roundworm, making me forget about the important thing.
"Brother, do you think mother is a little afraid of me?" Qiu Dashu laughed.
"Aren't you afraid when she chases after you, whining and nagging you?" Qiu Dashan didn't even want to give his stupid brother an extra glance.
He didn't even want to talk about him. It was his bad idea that he had just come up with. Seeing that Qiu's mother couldn't find a suitable object, he was very smart. What made him even more speechless was that he didn't know what his mother was thinking and actually "committed violence" by pulling the tail.
Just wait, without ceding land and paying compensation, Yuling will never cooperate in taking photos!
"The mule cart is tied up, why are you all waiting for me at the door?" Qiu Jianshe tied the mule cart to the wooden stake next to the grain and oil shop across the street, and saw them waiting neatly at the door from a distance.
"Hmph, I'm waiting for your little ancestor, what's the point of waiting for you?" Li Qingmei glared at him unhappily. It was all thanks to this old man. He had an old daughter at such an old age, but he had become more and more spoiled with her in the past two years.
"Come on, Lingling, braid your braids and take a quick photo. We'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative later. Daddy will ask your mom to buy you anything your daughter wants." Qiu Jianshe touched his daughter's furry little head, and it looked good no matter how he looked at it.
"My mother hasn't agreed yet." Qiu Yuling felt that although she had money, she needed all kinds of skills to spend it.
"Hehe, if your mother doesn't object, it means she agrees." He said that his daughter was very well-behaved. But as long as her mother didn't nod, the child didn't dare to think too much. His wife also said every day that his daughter was a cunning woman, almost a little fool.
Mr. and Mrs. Qiu were sitting, their two sons were standing behind them, and their little daughter was sitting on each of the two adults' legs. A flash of white light froze five-sixths of the old Qiu family in the midsummer of 1962.
