Nongmen Space: Farming lady is not easy to mess with

Chapter 108 I Was Not Bad When I was Young
"Hold your back with a bow and hammer up and down~ The cotton dances like fireworks~ The millstone is ironed and the velvet is pasted~ Warmth thousands of homes in the world~"

In the newly built bamboo shed, there were two newly made large wooden platforms. An old couple stood beside the platforms with their backs arched, yelling and peeling old cotton yarn.

There was joy on the gray and old face, and the rough and chapped fingers flew up and down nimbly.

Taxes are heavy and rents are heavy, and there are many people who eat less in the fields.I don't know the technology of growing cotton, and there is no farmer in the nearby states that specializes in growing cotton.

The cotton sold in the shop is all imported from other places. Cotton is precious, and it is not uncommon for a quilt to be covered for a lifetime.

Every few years, I find a cotton-tapping man to fluff up the hardened cotton wool again. When girls get married, they also play cotton-padded quilts as dowry.

Those who have a surplus will play new quilts, while those who are poor will play old quilts.Put on a new bright red quilt, anyway, you can't see it from the outside, just make it a festive one.

As the weather got colder, many people in the village sent them old quilts to loosen them for the winter, and paid two liters of food for each bed as hard money.

The smiles on the faces of the old couple have not stopped these days.

The old yellow cotton wadding tightly twisted the cotton gauze together, and the two of them uncovered it little by little, and twisted the broken cotton wadding on it.

This old quilt was stripped from morning to noon, and it was finally finished.

"Old Uncle Tan, Aunt Tan~" Zhu Yu walked inside with a smile on his face and carrying a basket with a bow on his back.

"Hey, it's Miss Zhu, come in~" Aunt Tan adjusted the brown scarf wrapped around her head, and waved with a cheerful smile.

Looking forward, I saw Populus euphratica greeting them with a smile on his face and carrying a big burden, and his smile became more benign.

He poked Old Tan next to him, and said in a low voice, "The young couple are really right, brother Jun and sister are pretty, just looking at them makes me happy."

"You old woman has a broken mouth. How can you say you are a young couple before you get married." Uncle Tan reprimanded in a low voice, looked up at the two people who came in one after the other, bowed his head and said, "Then It's really right."

Aunt Tan was not annoyed, she rolled the stripped old cotton yarn into bundles with a smile, "I have been following you for so many years, my eyes can't be wrong. I can tell at a glance whether it can be done or not."

Hu Yang looked at the eyes that Miss Zhu liked from the bottom of her heart, it was as hot as the sun in June, very hot~
Seeing her, the old woman felt ashamed.
"Aunt Tan, what do you see?" Zhu Yu took out a small round box from the basket and placed it on the table, looking at her with big eyes flickering.

Aunt Tan squeezed her cheeks with a suppressed smile, "I can tell, then Hu Chun will be able to hold a grandson in his arms within two years~"

"Uncle Hu? No way, Populus euphratica doesn't have a daughter-in-law. How can there be any grandchildren?" Zhu Yu paused when she lifted the lid of the box, remembering the sentence that Populus euphratica stuck in her ear just now: Marry me, and I will teach you on the day you get married.

She doesn't know anything else, but she knows that a bridal chamber is required on the day of marriage, and after the bridal chamber, a baby can be born.

Although I don't know the specific method of bridal chamber, the sisters-in-law and aunts in the village also said that half should stay and half, but it's right to take off naked and sleep together.

Zhu Yu shook her fingers.

I was hugged and chewed by him twice while wearing clothes, that, that was stripped...

His face suddenly became hot, and he turned around and gave Hu Yang a hard look.

Hu Yang felt a little embarrassed when he heard Aunt Tan's jokes, and Zhu Yu Hongxia glared at her shyly and annoyed.

That coquettish little appearance made his heart feel hot, if there were no other people around, he really wanted to push her down and kiss her hard...

Facing Populus euphratica's scorching gaze, Zhu Yu felt overwhelmed for the first time, that gaze clearly wanted to bite her, she just knew it!

"How dare you!" Zhu Yu raised her fist as if to beat him.

Hu Yang pursed his lips and smiled lightly, and turned his head to look at her with gleaming eyes, "What dare I?"

"You...me!" Zhu Yu, who was so choked that he couldn't speak, angrily shook his head and turned away from him, "Aunt Tan, it's all your fault!"

"Oh, my aunt didn't say anything~" Aunt Tan smiled and hugged the rolled old cotton yarn and placed it on the stool beside her, "It's so nice to see a young couple flirting~"

"Hmph!" Zhu Yu held the small round box in front of Uncle Tan angrily, "Old Uncle Tan, eat peanuts, don't give them to Aunt Tan!"

"Hey!" Uncle Tan grabbed a handful happily, hammered his waist casually, walked to the stool next to him and sat down, peeled a peanut and sighed, "In previous years, I also planted a few ridges in the field behind my house. Give the kids snacks."

Aunt Tan moved a stool and sat down beside him, grabbed two from his hands, peeled them off and poured them into her mouth with a smile.

"We need to grow grain in spring, and we don't have time to plant spring peanuts. Every year, we plant summer peanuts. After the peanuts are collected, washed and dried, the two of us will go out to pluck cotton for others."

Peanuts are planted every year, and they are given to children to eat. Adults are not willing to eat them openly.

In this famine day this year, nothing has been grown, and the children can't eat even if they want to.

"The technique of frying peanuts is much better than mine, and the shells are not even mushy. How patient you are."

The old couple didn't reach out to grab it after eating, just taste it politely, but they dare not eat it shamelessly.

Populus euphratica dragged a bench behind Zhuyu, "sit down and eat." He took the small round box and put it on his lap, grabbed a handful from the box, and peeled the peanuts one by one with his head down.

Zhu Yu grabbed two more handfuls and stuffed them to Uncle Tan, "I fried the pepper for me, she's amazing!" in a tone full of embarrassment.

Hu Yang smiled and said nothing, spread out his palm and handed the peeled peanuts to her.

Zhu Yu conveniently grabbed the peanuts from his hand and stuffed them into his mouth, and excitedly told the old couple what kind of snacks Pepper had made for her.

As he was talking, another glass of water was handed over from the side, and he took it and returned it after filling it up.

"Oh, old man, looking at Populus euphratica, it looks handsome and hurts others. Why didn't I meet such a young man who was hard to find with a lantern when I was young, and followed you, elm bump." Aunt Tan ate Peanut complained while laughing.

"What's wrong with me, I wasn't bad when I was young." Uncle Tan pouted, staring at the toe of his shoe and muttering, "I was also a handsome young man from all over the world, okay?"

"Hey, I'm just greedy for your white skin. I have five or six younger brothers and sisters, and the family is so poor that they can't even eat an egg. Marrying into your family and eating chaff and vegetables, taking care of the old and the young, those days Bitter than coptis."

"Then I'm married, I don't have any regrets..." Uncle Tan stared resentfully at the toes of his shoes that were grinding the ground back and forth, and muttered in a low voice.

Aunt Tan glanced at him with a suppressed smile, grabbed Zhu Yu's hand and patted it, carefully touched the large and small scars and calluses on her hand, and sighed with a smile.

"It seems that your hand has suffered, but ah, you are a lucky man. It hurts to have face in front of the girl, and it hurts to hold you in the palm of Populus euphratica. Even my sister-in-law treats you well. After you marry The only time left is to enjoy life.”

"What sister-in-law, who, who is going to marry him." Zhu Yu withdrew her hand with a blushing face, lowered her head and grabbed the tassel on the belt.

"Look, everyone thinks we are very suitable, so I'll let my dad find a girl to propose marriage, okay?" Hu Yang grabbed her hand, moved closer and coaxed her in a low voice.

"Not good." A cold and emotionless voice came from the door.
