Chapter 196 Hardworking Man



There was already a pile of ready-made baby clothes in the box next to the kang.

At first, I made clothes that could be worn by a few months old, and later I made clothes that could be worn by a one-year-old.

It's quite fulfilling.

Su Qingxue was also worried that the children would be too noisy after they were born, and she would not have time to make clothes for them, so she thought about doing more in advance, and it would be best if all the clothes for them to wear before they were five years old could be made.

Fortunately, her aesthetic sense is still on point, and she tries her best to make the clothes look better.

But for clothes after the age of one, you have to decide whether it is a boy or a girl.

Before the age of one, it is not so important what clothes a boy or girl wears. But after the age of one, they will definitely run around, and it is not good if they don’t dress properly.

Originally, Su Qingxue was not curious about the gender of the baby in her belly, but for the sake of the children's clothes after one year old, she felt it necessary to confirm it.

Sitting on the kang and closing his eyes, his mental power continued to extend into his stomach, and his wood-based abilities continued to operate non-stop.

Slowly sense it, don't look anywhere else, just look directly between the legs.

As time passed, Su Qingxue felt a small sound between the legs of the two babies in her belly, and she determined their gender instantly.

Although they are not the twins I expected, two boys seem pretty good too.

Especially those from Zhou Huaian's family who have inherited the family tradition from generation to generation can be regarded as great contributors to the Zhou family.

After determining the children's gender, Su Qingxue knew what color to use when making clothes for them.

Boys are generally more naughty, so Su Qingxue specifically looks for gray, blue and black fabrics that are more resistant to dirt, so she doesn't have to worry about what they do outside.

Find fabrics of these colors and start cutting.

Zhou Huaian occasionally looked up into the house and saw his wife making clothes again, which gave him a very warm feeling.

But he felt that his wife was a little too hardworking, and even if he didn't let her work, she would still restless in the house.

Sometimes Zhou Huaian wished he could finish all the housework, so that when there was no work to do, his wife could wander around here and there like a street urchin.

Unfortunately, the 30-odd yuan and 30 to 40 kilograms of food every month trapped him.

Most of the time has to be spent in the factory, and it is dark not long after I come back.

If you want to do more work at home, you have to hurry up and try to squeeze out some free time.

Looking at such a large open space in the field, fortunately there is moonlight, otherwise I really can't see it. I will get up early tomorrow morning, try to get up to work at four or five o'clock, and when I go to work at seven o'clock, I can still dig for several hours.

"Sun Rui, are there any vegetables you want to eat? I'll grow some more when the time comes."

"The vegetables in the private plots at the educated youth camp can't be eaten up, so here it's fine. I can plant whatever my sister-in-law wants to eat. I'm fine with that."

Grown men are easy to feed and they are not picky eaters, so it’s good enough for them to just fill their stomachs. They don’t have such high requirements.

"Yeah, we can't finish all the vegetables at home."

Zhou Huaian plans to discuss it with his wife, ask her what she wants to plant, and then plant it himself.

I was worried that he wasn't planting fast enough, and by the time he got home from get off work, the whole yard would be full of plants.

At this time, she was already considering whether she should go to her private plot after work to pick all the ripe vegetables to prevent them from getting old.

Wash them while they are still fresh and tender, and then dry them into dried vegetables, which is better than letting them become old and inedible.

Su Qingxue was very fast and stopped after cutting two sets of clothes.

Just go straight to the sewing machine and start sewing them up.

The speed of machines is always faster than that of manual labor. It is very easy to sew the cloth piece by piece, especially children's clothes, which are very simple. It takes less than ten minutes to sew a piece of clothing.

After sewing the two pieces of clothing, I looked at the time on my wrist and it was already past eight o'clock, almost nine o'clock.

I quickly shouted out the window, "Huaian, it's getting late. You and Sun Rui should go to bed early and come back tomorrow to dig. Otherwise, you won't have the energy to go to work tomorrow. Anyway, we have enough food at home, so there's no need to rush."

"Okay, we'll stop when we've finished this furrow."

When men are willing to work, they are quite careful, and they do the work in bunches, very neatly.

Su Qingxue took a look and stopped paying attention.

I sorted out the clothes I had made and planned to wash them all when the baby is about to be born. I will put them in a box for now.

After cleaning up, I closed the windows. As the weather got hotter, there were more and more mosquitoes.

It seems that I have to go to the foot of the mountain or something like that to cut some mugwort leaves tomorrow. They will be quite useful for repelling mosquitoes after drying them.

Lying in bed, I made a note of this matter in my mind to remind myself not to forget it tomorrow.

I fell asleep without realizing it, and didn't even notice when Zhou Huaian entered the room.

All I know is that when I woke up the next day, I saw Zhou Huaian working in the backyard.

I don't know what time he got up, but he had almost reclaimed the more than four mu of land in the yard.

That’s amazing.

While brushing my teeth and washing my face, I heard some noise in the kitchen. I knew without looking that it must be Sun Rui making breakfast in there.

Su Qingxue squatted beside the well, looking at the rooms on both sides. There was still a little empty space from the edge of the plate to the wall. If nothing was done, it would feel like a waste of space.

His eyes glanced at the fish and duck hanging on the shelf in front. They were coated with salt and being marinated yesterday. He didn't expect Zhou Huaian to be so fast and hung them up today. They should have been marinated for two more days.

However, when she saw the fish and ducks, Su Qingxue suddenly thought of raising some chickens in the yard.

The next second, he quickly threw this thought out of his mind.

The smell is too strong to keep it in the yard.

Besides, pheasants were not difficult for her to catch. Whether it was the chicken soup to drink during confinement or the eggs to eat after the baby was born, it should be just a small problem to go up the mountain.

There's no need to make the place you live stink just because of such a small problem.

After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I went to the backyard.

"The land will be reclaimed soon. What time did you get up?"

"No, I got up very early because I couldn't sleep. By the way, what are you going to plant on this land?"

"Just plant some sweet potatoes, potatoes, and some corn."

You can use sweet potatoes and potatoes to make sweet potato flour and potato flour. Corn can be eaten fresh or ground into cornmeal.

After the seeds planted yesterday grow, just leave a large area for planting cherry tomatoes and chili pepper seedlings.

Thinking of cherry tomatoes and chili peppers, I hurried to that place. If I looked carefully, I could still see little sprouts poking out of the soil.
