Who understands? I took the library with me to farm

Chapter 46 Do some art

At least they managed to survive until the next morning, when the grandfather and grandson left with their small bundles on their backs.

Feng Qinkui still couldn't help but slap him in the face and pretend to be fat. Regardless of Feng Liu's consent, he carried back a basket of chickens, ducks and goose eggs for the third aunt.

The god of plague was sent away, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

In the next few days, in order to prevent her father from discovering the truth, Feng Xiaoxi kept lying about being dizzy and stayed in the house.

After the storm of the incident passed, she continued to work as a helper in Widow Wang's tofu shop, feeling relaxed.

Later, Xiao Xi told He Miao about the fake plasma and said that when the plasma flowed to her mouth, she couldn't help but lick it. It was fragrant, sweet and delicious.

In the blink of an eye, the season has arrived at the Beginning of Summer. As the proverb goes, "The fields are being hoeed during the three dynasties of Beginning of Summer", and it is now the busy stage of field farming and management.

As the saying goes, "Eggs are thrown all over the street on the Beginning of Summer." Children in the village will gather together to play an egg-fighting game.

The eggs are boiled, soaked in cold water, placed in a small net bag made of colorful silk threads, and hung around the neck.

In the Feng family courtyard, Yuen Long, Huandi and Dabao were having a great time.

The three of them each hold an egg, and the pointed head hits the pointed tip, and the round tail hits the round tail. Whoever's egg breaks first loses, and they peel off the broken egg shells and eat all the eggs.

The one who can keep his egg from breaking in the egg fight is the winner and is honored as the "Egg King".

After fierce competition, Huadi won this honorary title before lunch.

The men all went to the fields, and Xiao Xishang also had lunch at Widow Wang's house. He Miao tinkered with several bowls of shrimp noodles in the kitchen and brought them out for everyone to eat in the yard.

The shrimp noodles she makes are extremely delicious, and the river shrimp gives the taste of seafood.

The secret is to first break off the shrimp heads and fry them in oil until the red oil and umami flavor are produced. Then fry the shrimps with garlic and stir-fry the shrimp meat in shrimp oil. The aroma is amazing!

Finally, add some starch water to thicken the noodles, and the toppings are made. Roll the noodles with your hands and cook them in a pot. Pour them over with cold water, scoop them out, pour on the toppings, and sprinkle with chopped green onion. It’s a bowl of shrimp noodles for the Beginning of Summer.

Li Huahua used the excuse of having a baby in her belly to work less and eat more every day. He Miao took care of her intentionally, and the relationship between them inexplicably improved a lot.

Chen Xiu'e has remained honest since she suffered a setback last time. Every time He Miao was alone with her, she would avoid it intentionally or unintentionally, and I was afraid that she would feel guilty in her heart.

Nothing happens at home and the world is at peace.

It’s time to think about how to make money! After being married for so long, although there is no shortage of food and clothing, if you don't have financial power, you don't have the final say.

After the turmoil about Xiao Xi's marriage a few days ago, He Miao finally understood.

Mrs. Feng Liu has a reputation at home and outside that "she has the final say and the decision in the Feng family", which sounds good, but in fact it is not.

If you really encounter something serious, you still have to succumb to men and have no power to resist at all.

He Miao felt that in addition to the labor force problem that was difficult to change, one of the main reasons was her mother-in-law's lack of financial strength.

Men farmed more of the family's fields, and Feng Qinkui earned most of his money by forging iron.

In this case, those men ignored the hard work of women at home for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and took everything for granted.

"I've been busy in the shop all day, and I didn't even bother to drink. You're at home, so leisurely. Go get me a cup of tea!"

"Well, I sweated a lot in the field today, so I threw my dirty clothes on the kang. You remember to wash them, wash them early and dry them early to avoid running out of clothes to change."

"Why is this dish so salty today? I'm so busy outside that I can't even get a hot meal when I get home!" Words like this are often said by men in the family.

Often at this time, the women in the family are powerless to argue, so they have to keep working hard, try their best to improve, and satisfy the men.

If things go on like this, the initiative and the right to speak will not be in the hands of women.

It's different when you have money. At least you have a strong backbone. If the time comes, whoever chooses to say something you don't want to hear can just say it back.

In the past few days, the women at home have made many bamboo baskets. These things are said to cost nothing, but in fact they take up a lot of time.

Furthermore, in order to knit more, the mother-in-law tried her best to speed up, and her hands were cut with many large and small cuts by the sharp bamboo strips. She continued to cook and wash with these wounds.

He Miao looked at the shocking blood and felt distressed, but Feng Liu didn't care at all. She was determined to find a way to make more money and not let her mother-in-law's hard work be sold cheaply.

She had almost finished the work at home, and went to the backyard to take care of the flowers and plants. The flower bones have been stimulated to turn into flowers, with full and bright colors and fragrant fragrance.

Maybe it was because the soil had enough nutrients that every flower she planted bloomed very well, making people feel happy when they saw it.

Huandi also liked flowers. She secretly picked a peony flower, put it in her head and came over happily.

"Little aunt, look, isn't Hua Di beautiful?"

"Oh, our Huandi is so beautiful! Whose daughter is this? She's so handsome!"

He Miao blew a rainbow fart, making the child giggle.

She looked at Huadi's flat little head with a flower on it, and thought to herself: This child didn't sleep well when he was a child, his head was not round, and the back of his head was as flat as a chopping board. What a pity.

She picked a few more flowers and inserted them into the back of Huandi's head.

Well, it looks like the head shape is fuller, which makes it look much better!

As she looked at it, an inspiration suddenly popped into her mind, full? nice?
  By the way, isn’t this value positioning and value-added effect? ​​I have an idea!
  "Thank you, Huadi!" She said these words, hurried back to the front yard, and came back with several bamboo baskets of different sizes.

Put a layer of oil paper on the bottom of the bamboo basket to block the mesh-like gaps, then dig some soil in and sprinkle some water on top to ensure a certain degree of moisture in the soil.

"Little aunt, what are you doing? Isn't grandma going to sell this basket for money?"

Huandi tilted her little head to look at it, with a puzzled look on her face.

"Come on, Hua Di, you pick flowers and insert them into the soil as you like." He Miao took her hand and let her do whatever she wanted.

Children are naturally endowed with artistic instincts. Huandi got her aunt's approval and allowed her to pick flowers and play with them as she pleased. She was so happy that she even called her brother.

"Dabao, come on, there's something fun to do!"

Dabao was playing lattice with Feng Yuanlang in the front yard. When his uncle and nephew heard Huandi's call, they hurried over.

The three children were having a lot of fun. They ran back and forth to put flowers in the flower basket.

Feng Yuanlang already had a certain amount of artistic talent, and the various painting books his wife showed him inspired his painting nerve.

The aesthetics of flower arrangements are no problem either.
