"I know! I know!" Qiao Yunbai covered his ears with a look of pain and stood up, "Go change the sheets for Big Sister."
Qiao Xinyi has a mysophobia and won't sleep on sheets that have been slept on by others, so there is a quilt at home that is washed every few days, so that Qiao Xinyi can always go home and have a clean bed sheet to change.
Qiao Xinyi said yes and followed Qiao Yunbai back to the room. Seeing the sack still piled there in the corner, Qiao Xinyi walked over and kicked it.
"Will Chen Ju wait until her legs are better before taking these things?" Qiao Xinyi urged Chen Ju last time. After thinking for a while, Qiao Xinyi said, "Pick up these things tomorrow. The cloth is still new, so you can make your own clothes. If you don't like it..."
Qiao Xinyi thought for a moment and said, "If you can sell it, sell it. If you can't sell it, give it away. Whoever wants it can take it. What's the point of occupying our room like this?"
Besides, Chen Ju now has a new daughter-in-law who is so generous and rich, so she might not even like these old clothes. ”
"That's a good idea, big sister. I'll clean up the house with sister Lily tonight and see if we can piece together some leftovers to sew a sandbag and cloth for you to make a football." Qiao Yunbai never made a new sandbag after his sandbag broke when he was a child.
Cloth is so expensive that we are reluctant to waste even the leftovers.
The sandbag Febu, after Qiao Yunbai broke one, he was too embarrassed to tell Chen Bing that he wanted a new one.
Chen Bing came in from the corridor carrying dishes and continued the conversation with a smile.
"No need for scraps, Chen Ju's clothes, just tear down any pattern you like. Our family doesn't have those two people dragging us down and eating for free. Mom can afford you. Not to mention one sandbag, even if you want ten or eight, we can afford it!"
In fact, Chen Bing felt a little sad when she heard Qiao Yunbai say that he wanted a new sandbag. The child's request made her realize that she had really let the children suffer a lot of grievances over the years.
But who wouldn't want to make another sandbag out of a few scraps of cloth?
Only her son Qiao Yunbai was very careful when playing, and would not dare to ask her, his mother, for another one even if he broke his child.
"Mom is so generous!" Qiao Yunbai said happily, "Then make three! One for you, one for Xiaozhou and Xiaoyu, and then take them to the military family compound to play sandbag throwing with them!"
The two children were already sitting on the chairs, swinging their short legs happily. They had played sandbag throwing with their new friends today, and it was so much fun.
After playing all over and getting dirty, Aunt Lily and Uncle Yunbai would boil water for them to take a bath when they got home. Aunt and uncle would laugh at them for looking like little cats, but they would not scold them for being reincarnated dirty ghosts like their grandfather did in their hometown.
It can be said that the quality of life of this family has risen sharply since the departure of Chen Ju and Qiao Laiwang, and they can even eat meat once or twice a week.
After dinner, Qiao Yunbai took the two children out to play. Qiao Xinyi saw that Chen Bing still had a lot of steamed rice cakes, so she borrowed a bicycle from Aunt Zhang Hua, said hello to Chen Bing, put the rice cakes in an aluminum lunch box, cut the big watermelon at home in half, and then rode out on her bicycle.
Qiao Xinyi thought that she had been too busy recently to visit Qiao Ye, and she had to go back to her family compound tomorrow. The two children were having fun with Qiao Yunbai tonight, so she decided to go over to see Qiao Ye.
Qiao Ye's residence was a bit far from the textile factory's staff quarters, and Qiao Xinyi arrived there half an hour later.
When she left, the gate to the yard was open, and the landlord was sitting in a corner of the yard, fanning himself in the cool breeze. Qiao Xinyi stood outside the gate and looked inside. When she didn't see Qiao Ye, she didn't go in directly, but greeted the landlord outside the gate.
"Uncle, is Qiao Ye home right now?"
The old man sitting on the recliner opened his eyes and looked towards the gate. When he saw Qiao Xinyi, he felt familiar at first. After thinking for a while, he remembered who Qiao Xinyi was, so he said, "That kid went to fetch water."
There was no running water or well in the yard, so Qiao Ye had to fetch all the drinking and drinking water from the public well in front by himself. This was agreed upon when Qiao Ye rented the house.
As soon as the old man finished his words, Qiao Ye came back carrying a load of water.
This kid had excellent vision. He saw Qiao Xinyi standing at the gate of the yard from a distance. Qiao Ye was so excited that he ran all the way back carrying water. He didn't feel sorry at all that the water splashed on the ground after carrying such a long distance.
"Sister Xinyi, why are you here?" Qiao Ye didn't even go into the yard. He put two buckets of water on the ground, put the shoulder pole in the corner, and immediately stood there talking to Qiao Xinyi.
The first question he asked was, "I just found out you were married a few days ago. Is your lover good to you? He calls you sister, and you think he's your real sister. If he treats you badly, tell him and he will deal with you."
Qiao Xinyi smiled and shook her head, her eyes falling on Qiao Ye's face.
After the young man settled down for a few days, his whole spirit and energy were different.
Who would believe that he was snatching food at the train station just now, seeing how full of life he is now?
"I'm fine. How about you? Have you been doing well these days?" Qiao Xinyi handed over the things she brought. "Go get a bowl or a plate. I'll bring you some rice cakes made by my mom at home, and also half a watermelon."
"Okay." Qiao Ye responded quickly, "Go ahead and bring the water in. Sister Xinyi, come in with me."
"I'll carry the water in for you. You take the rice cakes and watermelon and go get the plates." Qiao Xinyi stuffed the things in her hand to Qiao Ye and walked straight towards the two buckets.
Qiao Ye was just about to say that the two buckets of water were too heavy for her to lift and asked him to carry them in, but the next second he saw Qiao Xinyi striding into the yard with one bucket in each hand.
Seeing that he hadn't caught up yet, she stopped and turned back to urge him, "Hurry up and lead the way. You don't even know which direction the kitchen is."
"Right here!" Qiao Ye was shocked. After he came to his senses, he quickly walked ahead to lead the way.
Qiao Xinyi walked past the old man carrying two buckets of water, startling him so much that he jumped up from his recliner.
"You lesbian are so arrogant!" the old man exclaimed, "You grew up eating weights, right?"
Qiao Xinyi followed Qiao Ye into the kitchen and poured two buckets of water into the large water tank. After hearing what the old man said, she smiled and replied towards the door, "Uncle, I grew up suffering from grievances, so I turned my grief and anger into strength since I was young. When I grew up, I became stronger than most people."
The old man was amused by Qiao Xinyi's words.
"If being wronged can make you like this, then no one in this world is less petty." The old man sat back slowly with the palm-leaf fan in his hand, but he turned the chair around, from facing the door to facing the kitchen.
Qiao Ye put the rice cakes in the lunch box into a large bowl, washed the lunch box and put it aside upside down to dry, then cut the watermelon and put it on a plate, "Sister Xinyi, let's go sit in the yard and eat watermelon. The moon in the yard is much brighter than in the kitchen right now, and there's a power outage in this area."
