Chapter 41
Chaihuo saw Chen Shengnan coming over with a small piece of wood, throwing it to the ground and shouting:
"Who knows if there's something wrong with her that she keeps running around in the fields.
Not a single day goes by.
If you ask me, she must have a problem with her brain, she must have been kicked by a donkey, or she is just bored.
If I could, I would rather never go out to work.
Lying at home every day.
What's good about going underground?
It's tiring, hot, and tanned. How can I marry a worker?
But she goes to work every day with a smile on her face, which makes me look so lazy."
Her mother had already scolded her. Thinking of Chen Shengnan, her eyelids rolled and she sat down on the ground in anger.
Just pull the grass and throw it away.
Chen Qingfeng laughed out loud without any hesitation: "Aren't you lazy?"
When Chen Qingshu heard this, he dropped the tree he was dragging and ran over eagerly to prove it, "You're lazy and greedy, and today you even snatched my boiled eggs from me."
Chen Shengnan glared at him, "What's wrong with eating your eggs?
I am your sister, so you should give me the good things you have.
Is the malted milk you had before almost gone?
Let me try it when you get home."
If you don’t drink it now, you will never have the chance. After the family split up, her grandmother has no money left, and she is afraid she will not buy it for Qingshu in the future.
"As for laziness, I'm the second to last in our family, and you're the first."
Chen Qingshu couldn't refute it.
Just do whatever you want, lie down on the ground casually, in a wild posture.
"Geese, geese..." Chen Qingyi laughed like a goose, "You are quite self-aware!"
Chen Qingli listened thoughtfully.
September is almost here, and corn and soybeans are about to mature.
They usually reclaim the land after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Now the work of the brigade is nothing more than herding cattle, collecting grass for pigs, and cutting weeds on the edge of the field with sickles.
Except for those whose families were particularly poor and the educated youth who needed work points.
Everyone else does their own work.
For example, drying vegetables, pickling pickles, planting autumn spinach, Chinese cabbage, etc.
Or just pull firewood like them.
No one is idle.
In previous years, Chen Qingliu also came along to collect firewood, but this year, thinking of the new educated youth...
Frowned.
"Sister, what are you thinking about?" Chen Qingzhi handed her a cucumber.
"I'm not thinking about it. Where did the cucumber come from?"
"Sister Xiaoyi brought it." After giving the cucumber, Chen Qingzhi ran back to Chen Qingyi.
The little hand gently touched the watch she was wearing.
Chen Qingyi patted her head and said, "Study hard and you will have endless watches to wear in the future.
Look at me, I’m so good that I’m wearing it now.”
Others: “……!!”
Chen Qingzhi blinked: "Which is more important, going to a good school or being as good as you?"
Chen Qingyi's eyes suddenly widened, "The little girl is quite thoughtful."
Then, with a proud and arrogant look on his face, he said, "Don't even think about being as good as me. Geniuses like me are hard to come by in a century.
If you could be half as good as me, you would be able to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks in the future.
As for why I am so outstanding, it was determined when I was born.
However, acquired efforts are also important.
Learning makes me better.
So you still have to study hard, okay?"
You can brag a lot, but you still can't teach children to be bad.
Chen Qingzhi nodded heavily, planting the seed in her heart that if she studied hard, she would be able to have a good life.
As he studied harder, he accidentally became the most educated person in the Chen family.
Seeing her fooling people, everyone else's lips twitched. This person is amazing. She said so much just to praise herself.
So shameless.
Only Chen Qingfeng nodded seriously in agreement: "Xiaoyi is indeed extremely smart!"
“…”
A few people chatted and laughed, working non-stop. When the cart was full, they went home.
Chen Qingsong and Chen Qingbai came back earlier than the other two and also pulled a full cart of wood.
They are all very thick.
In just a few days, the family had enough food to last for a year.
Zhao Xiangmei was also busy these days, pickling vegetables, cucumbers, chives, carrots, mustard greens...
Two small jars were filled with pickled vegetables.
This is not enough, in order to change the taste in winter besides sauerkraut, potatoes and cabbage.
Zhao Xiangmei dried a lot of vegetables.
Bean slices, bean shreds, dried radish, chili shreds, each has a pocket.
Before I could catch my breath, the supply and marketing cooperative arrived and bought several large rolls of colored paper for the papermaking booth.
It lasted two whole days.
The shed had just been cleaned, and the new furniture had been made and delivered, including several large cabinets and three large kangqins.
In addition to these, there are small stools, high stools, washstands, bathtubs, etc.
After everything was put away, the house was full and looked presentable in an instant.
I also took this opportunity to wash what needed to be washed.
I also remade the quilt, cotton coat and trousers. I patched up the short ones and added more cotton to the thin parts.
In short, a lot of work.
Tired Chen Qingyi gulped down some spiritual spring water at night and fell into a deep sleep.
Before going to bed, I lament the difficulty of life.
"Mom, there is nothing important to do today, right?" Chen Qingyi drank the porridge in small sips and slept for more than ten hours.
"If not, just mend the sack."
Zhao Xiangmei brought her a salted egg from the kitchen, peeled it and put it in a bowl.
I feel like my daughter has lost weight recently, but I seem to have grown taller and am almost catching up with her.
"Well, the salted eggs my grandma pickled are delicious, they are so oily."
First, eat the egg yolk, then crush the egg white and put it into the porridge.
"Then my third brother and I will go to the commune to see if there are any bicycles. If not, we will go to the county."
"Okay." Zhao Xiangmei knew that her daughter was a savvy person, so she trusted her to buy it.
"Mom will give you two some more money and tickets. If you don't have time for lunch, you can eat at the state-owned restaurant."
Rural areas will also distribute some food coupons, but not much.
It is used to buy snacks for the members.
"Okay, Mom, go to my grandma's house and ask if they want to come back for a while."
"good."
The two houses are close and there is a door in between, so it takes less than two minutes to walk back and forth.
After a while, Zhao Xiangmei brought back a small basket full of eggs.
He still looked nervous.
It looked like it was stolen, which made Chen Qingyi confused.
"mom?"
"Shh..." Zhao Xiangmei motioned her to speak more quietly.
“…???”
"Don't let your grandpa hear it!"
Not only was she confused, even Chen Qingfeng, who had just changed his clothes and came in, froze.
He asked in a trembling voice, "Mom, did you steal these eggs?"
"What are you talking about, little brat?"
Zhao Xiangmei raised her eyebrows and slapped her son on the neck, "When did your mother ever do such a thing?
Your grandma gave it to you."
"Then what are you afraid of? Besides, you're in your own home, and my grandfather doesn't have super hearing.
He can’t hear it either!”
Zhao Xiangmei:……!!
He looked embarrassed and felt that he had been stupid.
"I was influenced by your grandma."
Chen Qingyi guessed it and quickly gave her an excuse, "Mom, is it for my aunt?"
"Um"
