Chapter 84
The broken fresh corn cobs need to go through several steps of peeling, drying, threshing, and grinding before they can be made into cornmeal.
Fat Miao'er and the others are about to carry out the second step of peeling. The peeled skin can be dried in the sun and kept as a fire to burn on the kang.
"Grandpa Zhou, we appreciate your kindness. The farming is busy and there is a lot of work, so we won't bother the second uncle and the second aunt."
Li Xiaodao didn't want the couple to appear in his home, so he directly refused.
"Okay..." Mr. Zhou's intentions were good, he wanted to ease the relationship, and he also wanted to take care of them.
However, the five people spoke in unison and refused repeatedly, so he had no choice but to give up. After a few pleasantries, he got up and left.
Not long after he left, Zhou Laosan and Zhang's father and son came over separately and took away the boiled frog.
According to them, in the past two days, due to the busy farming season, there were a lot of people adding hard vegetables to the table. Their business was very good, so they increased the amount.
In the end, there was only one barrel left on Li Xiaodao's side.
"Abacus and I went to sell in the town, and the nerds stayed at home to work." Li Xiaodao assigned tasks.
Turning his head and looking at the corn cobs all over the yard, he warned: "If the family is too busy, go to the village and hire two aunts to help. Take care of Ye'er and Fat Miao'er, and don't get tired."
They are young, and Fat Miao'er and Liu Ye'er are girls, so they are really not good at work.
After explaining, Li Xiaodao drove the donkey cart and pulled the compass, and disappeared from the sight of several people.
In the yard, only Fat Miao'er, Liu Ye'er, and Wei Shu were left.
"Hire someone?" Liu Ye'er asked the two of them for their opinions.
"Hire it!" Fat Miao said, "The more people work, the faster you can work."
They have too many things to do.
"Who are you looking for?"
Liu Ye'er and Wei Shu looked at Fat Miao'er in unison. They were not familiar with the situation in the village, so it was up to her.
Fat Miao'er stretched out her hand and scratched her head, going over the people she had come into contact with in her mind.
One, be diligent and agile, and two, have no land at home, or those who have little land and are not busy.
She racked her brains, desperately remembering.
Before I could think of these two suitable candidates, there was a knock on the door of the family.
"Who is it?"
Fat Miao'er asked, opened the door with short legs, and looked around, it turned out to be the old man Zhang's wife and his two daughters-in-law.
"Grandma Zhang, Aunt Zhang, what's the matter?"
Fat Miaoer invited him into the house.
The three laughed.
"My guy came over just now and saw your corn cobs brought back, thinking that it's time to peel them and dry them."
"You guys are young and there are few people, so let us come and help." Mrs. Zhang explained.
She was said to be an old lady, but in fact she was not yet 50 years old, she was wearing a stone blue dress, and her hair was combed neatly.
She looked at the corn cobs piled up in the yard of Fat Miao'er's house, picked up the shovel and pushed them to both sides, explaining: "Don't pile them too high, it's better to disperse them, the corn is afraid of being covered."
"Taking advantage of the good weather and plenty of sunshine these two days, hurry up and dry it. If it rains, it will be bad."
Mrs. Zhang is diligent, agile, and a vigorous person.
Without even saying a word on the scene, he just moved the small stool, pulled the basket, and sat down to pick up the corn.
Pull it on the left side, pull it on the right side, and break it lightly, and the two pieces of corn husks will be taken off, revealing the bright yellow corn cobs inside.
Mrs. Zhang threw it into the basket, picked up the second stick in the corn pile, and repeated the above actions.
The two daughter-in-laws of the Zhang family looked at each other, and each found a stool and sat on both sides of Mrs. Zhang.
"Thank you Grandma Zhang, Aunt Zhang!" Liu Ye'er thanked politely.
Everyone came and the work was done, so they couldn't refuse the kindness any longer, so they simply brought stools and sat beside them, and they picked corn together.
"This little girl is so pretty!"
Mrs. Zhang looked at Liu Ye'er while peeling the corn, and chatted about homework.
"how old are you?"
Liu Ye'er blushed, put the grilled corn into the basket, and replied softly, "Nine years old."
When she was a beggar, Liu Ye'er couldn't eat enough, didn't wear warm clothes, her face was yellow and thin, she was nine years old, but she looked a year or two younger than her actual age.
Now that they were earning money, they were provided with oil and water every day. She finally gained two points of weight, her little face was flushed, and she had a good look.
"Being so diligent at the age of nine is much better than other girls in the village. It's a pain in the ass." Mrs. Zhang complimented her.
These words are a bit watery. Children in the village at this age can more or less help the family with some work.
"Is the school girl popular?"
"I learned it, I learned it from Aunt Wu next door."
Aunt Wu?
The old lady Zhang was startled, but then she remembered that she might be talking about Wu Yong's wife—Chun Niang.
"Did you make this dress yourself?"
Mrs. Zhang could tell at a glance that the stitches on Liu Ye'er's maroon beige were still unfamiliar, and some stitches were not hidden.
"Well, I made it myself." Liu Ye'er nodded.
"What a skillful hand!" Mrs. Zhang boasted again.
Liu Ye'er lowered her head shyly, a little embarrassed.
Fat Miao'er saw this, smiled brightly, and said crisply: "Grandma Zhang, my sister is shy, so stop making fun of her!"
These words were playful, with the agility and cunning unique to little girls, which sounded like a spoiled child to my ears.
Mrs. Zhang and her two daughters-in-law had a good time, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk, let's not talk, Ye'er is a shy little girl."
"Crench!"
At this time, a soft sound came over.
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.
It was Chun Niang next door.
"I just have nothing to do, so I'm here to help you pick up the corn."
Chun Niang twisted her slender waist, walked to Fat Miao'er, nodded to the three members of the Zhang family, adjusted the hem of her skirt, and sat down slowly. Pick the skin.
"Cough, cough!"
Looking at Chunniang's charming and charming appearance, Mrs. Zhang felt a little uncomfortable.
They are all honest and responsible people, and they only choose traditional women who are practical, capable, good at giving birth, and filial to their parents-in-law when they marry their daughter-in-law.
For Chunniang's tone, he instinctively disliked it, so he turned his head away and turned his body in a subtle way.
Chunniang raised her brows and glanced at her, not paying attention to this repulsive gesture.
"Fat Meow! Fat Meow!"
After a while, several people were attracted by the sound outside the door.
Taking a closer look, Zhou Zhoulang, the slug, was lying on the wooden door, beckoning inside through the gap.
"I gonna go see."
After saying a word, Fat Miao'er got up and ran out of the yard, closing the door behind him.
Stand face to face.
"Fat Meow..."
Zhou Zhoulang made his voice longer, the corners of his mouth curled downward, and he said unhappily: "Yesterday my father and mother knelt in the yard, and my grandma proposed a separation..."
Zhou Zhoulang felt a little regretful. He didn't know that the consequences of yesterday's incident would be so serious. If he had known earlier, he would not have informed Fat Miao'er and the others in advance.
That's right!
Fat Miao'er was able to take Mr. Zhou and Mr. Zhou together to seize the stolen property of Mr. Zhou, Mrs. and Mrs. Ma, and the brothers of the Ma family.
It's not because of her foresight, and it's not because of a coincidence, nor is it the rhetoric they said to Mr. Zhou.
The real reason is that they have a little spy - Zhou Zhoulang.
"Fat Meow, I'm a little sad!" Zhou Zhoulang said in a depressed mood.
