suspected wife

After the well was finished, everyone in the family was smiling.

Although it is very convenient to get water in Xiahe Village, the well has subdued the whole village.It's just that Qiao Mingjin lived on the outskirts of the village, and the well was in the village. It took many trips to fill the two large water tanks at home.

In addition, now that there are more people in the family, and because the carvings have to be washed, the water is no longer picked up once a day, sometimes three or four times a day.

Although two buckets of water really don't weigh much for men like He Xiaochun, picking too much is laborious and time-consuming.

But now that there is water at home, it is naturally much more convenient.When you want to use it, you can play it when you want, and you will never use it without calculation.

Ming Qi and Xiao Wan'er were even happier, happily took the small wooden bucket specially made for them, went to fetch water, and were busy watering the vegetables in the yard and outside the house.

When there was no well, the two little things were reluctant to scoop water from the water tank. They used big wooden buckets to catch the dirty water used by everyone, or the two went to the small river outside the village to fetch water for watering vegetables.Now it can be used casually.

The two little things enjoy each other very much, wishing to water all the grass and flowers in the yard and in front of and behind the house.

After the well at home was finished, Zhou Yanqing also sent a message, saying that the time was set on the twentieth of this month.It was a very auspicious day.It's time to break ground.

Now there are still seven or eight days before the twentieth.According to the number of craftsmen Zhou Yanqing invited, Qiao Mingjin asked Sister Xiu to invite twenty young and strong men in the village, and five women to help with cooking and doing some small work.

Many people in the village got the disease and came to the door one after another.

Many women also came together to find them.Qiao Mingjin didn't know these people well either.Hearing what Sister Xiu and the others said, he appointed five wives, one of whom was Ma Shi.

These five women, including twenty men, were redundant laborers in the family.Although all the families have gone to dig the wooden piles now, they are still left.

Most of these twenty men are half-grown children and men around 50 years old, and they don't seem to be compatible with young and strong men at all.

It's just that Sister Xiu said that now every family is digging wooden stakes in the forest, and these half-grown children and older ones are also reluctant to let them work too hard in the forest.Besides, building a house is nothing more than helping to deliver some things, and then there are mud and mud.It's mostly not a lot of effort.

Qiao Mingjin gave up after hearing this.

The 20 people also included the second and fourth children of the Yue family.

When Sun Shi and Yu Shi came to find them, Qiao Mingjin didn't intend to take them.

But thinking about it, Yue Lao Er and Yue Lao Si had no conflicts with her. When feeding the chickens in the woods, he would help her a little bit, but he was not as playful as their women.

She happened to be looking for someone, if they were eliminated.Maybe the villagers thought she had some complaints about that family.

Qiao Mingjin agreed.Then Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Yu said to her with smiles, Xie Xing rushed back.

They are also very satisfied with the wages.

In order to get the workshop out as soon as possible, Zhou Yanqing and Qiao Mingjin had very tight requirements on the construction period, so they set a salary of [-] yuan.This salary is quite a lot, even if you go to the city, it will be thirty yuan a day at most.

Everyone was satisfied and waited for work to start.

And Qiao Mingjin dug a well because of the family.I also have a clue about the workshop, and it's rare to be idle.

this day.Early in the morning Qiao Mingjin had breakfast with Ming Qi and Xiao Wan'er, and then took them to the yard to learn arithmetic.

Now that she has Yun Jin and others, she really has a lot of leisure.

There is no need for her to carry the chicken coop into the woods in the morning.She didn't need to pick the water anymore, Father He and the others had already done the root carvings at home, and Yun Jin helped her with all the chores.

Now, apart from drawing some blueprints, she is free every day, and can be free to play with the children.

In fact, there was one more thing that bothered her.

It's just that the corns at home are growing up day by day, and now it's easy to put them in the forest for stocking.But what should I do if I lay eggs?

Can you wander around in the woods every day, looking for eggs?Moreover.Her family is not the only one raising chickens in the woods, so whoever picks it counts?

Besides, there are so many skinny children in the village, so it's her two children's turn to look for eggs?I'm afraid that all I find is a chicken feather.

"Mother, look at Waner's beating, right?"

Her daughter's milky voice interrupted her thoughts, and Qiao Mingjin looked back to see her daughter tugging at her sleeve and pointing to the numbers on the abacus to show her.

Qiao Mingjin looked at it, five zero five zero.

Although my daughter was slow at counting, she typed out all the correct numbers.

"Wow, our Wan'er is really good, it's all right! It's so amazing, Niangqinxiang..."

Qiao Mingjin hugged her daughter, and kissed her daughter's tender face hard, causing her to twist her body and giggle.Following Qiao Mingjin's example, he held Qiao Mingjin's face with his two small hands and smelled sweetly on both sides.

Qiao Mingjin was very happy.

Ming Qi beside him said, "Stupid Wan'er, I've done the calculations several times. I can do the subtraction."

Qiao Mingjin turned around and patted her head, and said: "Well, our Ming Qi is also the best. The speed is so fast in such a short period of time. I have to practice the reduction of Baizi well, and I will teach it to Wan'er after she has added Baizi. she."

Ming Qi's face suddenly brightened, and he nodded heavily: "Yes! Sister, don't worry, I will practice with Wan'er every day. I will teach her well."

"Well, what a good boy."

"Mother, mother, I am also a good boy!"

"Yes, our Wan'er is also a good boy. Awesome!"

After Qiao Mingjin made the abacus, she began to teach Ming Qi and her daughter to practice the abacus.In addition to teaching them how to count, I also teach them addition and subtraction within one hundred.

Using the abacus is the best way. Not only do you use both your brain, hands and eyes, your brain becomes flexible, and your fingers become flexible. In addition, in the process of abacus, the whole person becomes more focused and learns to concentrate on doing things.

Ming Qi learned very well, and he could memorize the abacus and formula by heart in a short period of time.Gabaiko is also fast and accurate.Sometimes she can do some simple calculations without an abacus.

It's just that Wan'er is young after all, and when Qiao Mingjin taught her, he only wanted her to concentrate on learning one thing, to practice her brain and eyesight and the dexterity of her fingers, and to hone her temper.

Qiao Mingjin didn't ask her to learn much.Just teach her to count, counting within one hundred, let her be able to count Shun Liu.It doesn't matter if the abacus is wrong, as long as you can use your eyes, hands and brain flexibly.

It's just that Wan'er's memory is excellent. When Qiao Mingjin taught her to read some simple ancient poems, she found that her daughter had an excellent memory.

Generally speaking, if you read something to her two or three times, she will be able to remember it.

Qiao Mingjin tried to teach her to recite the abacus formula, taught her three sentences a day, and asked her to practice on the abacus repeatedly, and now she has memorized the formula by stumble!

Although the speed is not fast, but by chanting the mantra, he can accurately dial out the beads on the abacus.For addition within one hundred, she can also dial out the correct number on the abacus.

Qiao Mingjin felt very relieved.

The day before, I taught her three formulas and watched her practice on the abacus repeatedly. Even Qiao Mingjin found it boring.But the daughter was able to move a small stool and sit in the yard by herself, put the abacus on her knees, and sat quietly, reading and dialing, and practiced stumbled.

Qiao Mingjin couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.

Ever since her daughter learned the abacus, when Qiao Mingjin was busy, she could turn around and see her daughter sitting in a small body under the eaves or in the yard, playing with the abacus by herself.The little figure who read silently in his mouth, and counted the beads while reading.

The little abacus specially made for her has become a toy that her daughter never leaves, and she keeps it next to the pillow when she sleeps.

Since her daughter was busy with root carving at home, she always sensibly did not disturb her, and followed her aunt back and forth.When her aunt was busy preparing everyone's meals in the kitchen, she moved a stool and sat in the yard by herself, playing with the abacus by herself.

It's always where Qiao Mingjin can see it when he turns around.

Seeing this, Qiao Mingjin felt sore and astringent.

The daughter is getting more and more cheerful, but she doesn't want her daughter to be closed because of her original difficulties.

"Wan'er, mother is free today, can mother help you tie your pigtails?"

As soon as the little thing heard it, his eyes immediately opened wide, shining like a clear spring.

Nodding like a pounding garlic: "Enen! Mother, Wan'er go get the comb and hair tie!"

After speaking, the small body immediately left the small stool and swayed into the house.

"Sister, can you comb my hair too?" Ming Qi asked Qiao Mingjin with wide eyes.

"Okay, my sister will also help us Ming Qi to tie hair today, let's make it look good!"

"kindness!"

Nine-year-old Ming Qi is very sensible, helping her with all kinds of housework, washing vegetables and cooking, helping her take care of the children, etc., but she is still a child after all.

Qiao Mingjin watched her rush towards the room in a hurry, shook her head and smiled.

Soon the aunt and nephew grabbed their belongings and ran out.They each held a small wooden box in their arms.

The small wooden box was made for the two of them these days after He Xiaochun and the others came.The two little things like it very much, and put the most cherished things of the two of them in it.

"Mother, help Wan'er comb first!"

"Okay, then you move a stool and sit in front of your mother."

"Sister, I'll move it!" Ming Qi rushed to the courtyard to move two stools and ran over.

Xiao Wan'er immediately took one and ran to her mother, turned her back to her mother and sat down.

He also quickly pulled the two buns on her head with his hands, making them messy.

Qiao Mingjin sat on the stool, bent her legs and circled her daughter in front of her, took a comb and slowly combed her daughter's hair.

It has been a long time since she took care of combing her daughter's hair.

When she got up, her daughter was still asleep.So when my daughter woke up, Ming Qi helped her comb her hair.The aunt and nephew just casually grabbed two buns and tied them.It doesn't matter how much hair there is on both sides, whether there is a head or not.

The country people are not so particular. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
