Happy peasant girl

Chapter 142 I am seven and you are three (1)
"Sister-in-law Huilan, the vegetables grown by this Xi girl are almost sold out?" On this day, Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Ma, Mrs. Zhao, and Mrs. Mei visited Lao Lin's house.

"No, I said I would help her collect vegetables, but she said that the servants who bought them would never be used up, and they would not need me at all, so she asked me and my mother to cook for them at home. I have suffered a lot." Mrs. Mu asked a few people to sit down on the kang in the house, and then added some firewood to the kang.

"Two days ago, the patriarch and the patriarch asked the people in the village to learn how to farm from Xi girl in the coming year. Everyone still didn't believe it, even I didn't believe it. I didn't expect that Mr. Zhang's hundreds of acres of land were all from Xi girl. I helped grow it, no wonder that Mr. Zhang is willing to give these lands to Miss Xi, he has learned the skill of growing vegetables this winter, right?" Mrs. Ma said while making small shoes for her little grandson.

"No, I knew sister-in-law Huilan was capable, but I didn't expect this girl Xi to be even more capable. She is already a good hand in the field at a young age. Sister-in-law, the patriarch said that girl Xi will teach us villagers for free. Isn't it true?" Sun asked anxiously.

"It's true. In fact, Mr. Zhang is Xiyatou's uncle. Xiyatou didn't teach him the ability to grow vegetables in winter. It was my father, Xiyatou, and Shiro who helped grow vegetables. My dad said In addition to family relatives, clan relatives, since growing vegetables in this greenhouse is really good, then teach the villagers, as long as everyone does not spread the word, they can still earn a lot of money." Some of what Mu said was taught by Linyuan Mountain. Hers, some of them are her own thinking, anyway, the meaning is the same, only the old Linjia people know how to grow vegetables in winter, and they decided to teach the villagers this skill.

"Sister-in-law Huilan, your family is really generous, and we all thank you." Whether it was the tofu recipe at the beginning or many things later, the performance of the old Lin's family made the whole clan remember their kindness.

"Thank you so much! I don't ask for anything else now, I just hope that Sanlang and the others will get married, and Xi girl can grow up safely, so I will be satisfied." Mu is very satisfied now.

"Sister-in-law, when girl Xi is not busy, I will let Xiaotao learn how to grow vegetables with her in the future, and I will learn too, not for anything else, but for a few children, no matter how hard we work, it doesn't matter." Zhao said.

"My family's Xiaoyu can't be left behind either. No wonder the patriarch and the patriarch will regret if they don't open up wasteland. Now it seems that they don't regret it, haha. From now on, I will work with Huilan's sister-in-law's family to farm, and this day will not be too bad, haha!" Sun laughed. said.

"Don't worry, I heard Miss Xi and my father say last night that they will repair the pickle shop after the New Year, and then they will talk to the villagers about growing vegetables in greenhouses. You can go and listen to it when the time comes." It's alright." Mrs. Mu also plans to listen to it when the time comes, since her two grandchildren are grown up, she can go down to the fields with peace of mind.

"Really? This is great!" several women said happily.

At this time, Lin Qingxi, who was standing outside the door, took back the foot she was about to step in, then turned around and looked up at the sky.

People are so simple sometimes, how can there be such a good thing as a pie falling from the sky in this world, let alone the person who threw the pie is her!

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, a drop of water turns into ice. After a heavy snowfall, the entire Damei Mountain becomes quiet, and everything seems to be hibernating.

"Father, mother, tomorrow will be the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. Do you want to prepare this year's new year's goods earlier? I'm worried that it will be colder in a few days." Mu Si sat in the warm room, although the thick cotton curtain blocked the light outside. , but she can still feel that the weather seems to be very bad.

"The day is changing too fast. It seems that there will be a heavy snow tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I'm afraid people will freeze to death. There are still more than ten days left in the Chinese New Year. Don't worry, wait until the day gets better." Ye is not afraid of freezing hands Linqingxi's cotton shoes have worn out several pairs in the winter, and she plans to make two more pairs for her.

"Just follow your mother's opinion. By the way, where is girl Xi? Are you still busy there?" Ever since Linqingxi closed the pickle shop and bean curd shop, she has not been idle in the winter, and she has devoted herself to her. In dozens of acres of vegetable fields.

"No, the child has been exhausted from selling vegetables these days, and she is lying on the kang and falling asleep now. I asked Liu Lang to watch her, and when she wakes up, warm up the porridge for her." A little grandson remade a padded jacket. It was too cold and the child could not resist the cold.

"Don't let her just eat porridge, I'll go to the south of the village and buy some meat for her." Linyuanshan wrapped his padded jacket tightly and planned to go to the butcher's house in the village to buy some meat for Linqingxi.

"Grandfather, I don't want to eat meat. Mother's porridge is delicious." When Lin Qingxi raised the curtain and came in, he just heard what Linyuan Mountain said, and said.

"Xi girl, you're awake! Oops, get on the kang, it's too cold outside!" Mrs. Ye quickly put down her needle and thread, and pulled Lin Qingxi onto the kang, and Lin Qingmu, who was following behind, also sat on the kang .

"Grandma, it's all right! By the way, where are the elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law? I haven't seen Nianyu and Nianshui either?" Ever since all shops and businesses were shut down and only Yipinxiang was left behind, Lao Lin's family has returned to normal. She looked less busy, at least on the surface.

"Your elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law have gone to your Madam Ma's house, saying that they are teaching embroidery to a few women in the village. Anyway, it's okay to be idle at home, and it's fun to go out to visit. The two younger ones were taken out by your fourth brother to play." Now that the tofu business in the clan was handed over to Lin Cheng and the others, Lin Qinghao didn't continue to help there, but went home to help with farming.

Before the heavy snow fell, someone from the Du family came to pick up Du Yutang, saying that the old man of the Du family missed him very much and asked him to return to Beijing for the New Year no matter what.

Du Yutang was taken care of by Du Dian and Du Xin, and Lin Qingxi wasn't very worried. During these days in Linjia Village, she also really fell in love with this little guy Du Yutang.

"Grandma, are you making shoes for me again?" Counting, Ye Shi made several pairs of shoes for Linqingxi in the winter, but the soles soon wore out, not because she worked so hard, but because The quality of these shoes is really not very good.

"Yeah, I don't know what's wrong with your child wearing shoes. You're almost catching up with eating shoes." Ship said with a smile.

"Grandmother, how do you make the soles of your shoes?" Lin Qingxi found that most of the farmers here wear woven straw sandals in summer and autumn, and warmer cloth shoes in winter and spring. The soles are thin and wear out easily.

"Put some grass or rags in the rough cloth, and seal it tightly with a needle. I heard that rich and noble families have several layers of silk cloth? Grandma also used two extra layers of cloth for you. Don't worry, you will be able to wear it this time." Longer." Ordinary people are willing to use so much good cloth to make shoes, cloth shoes are very cherished, and few people are willing to spend money to buy shoes to wear.Even when she had money, Mrs. Ye was willing to buy two more bolts of rough cloth, and she didn't even look at the ready-made clothes and shoes.
