Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 228

Because of the opening of the shop in the near future, both Chunqiu and Yuan's mother and daughter are extremely busy these few days.

Chunqiu had a chance to take a rest after all the newly sent petals were used up.

After all, opening a business is a physical effort, especially when Chunqiu has to face so many women who love beauty, so Chunqiu intends to take advantage of the gap to rest, recharge, and prepare for the opening period to adjust his energy, but the result has not waited for Chunqiu to implement it himself. As for this plan, her mother, Yuan Shi, is busy again.

This job has nothing to do with the opening of the shop. It turned out that her mother saw that the weather was good these days, so she decided to take out the quilts and cotton clothes and trousers that she had covered in the winter before drying. Some clothes are unusable. If you wear it, throw it away and replace it with a new one.

Ever since Yuan shi had extra money in his hands, he was always extra generous in food and clothing, with a kind of momentum of buying, buying, and buying.

In fact, when it comes to clothes, I have to mention it here, because in ancient times when boys were generally favored over girls, her mother, Yuan Shi, treated her very well in this regard. In the early days, their second wife was not rich, and the family There is no separation, even if her grandmother agrees with her mother to save money from her private house, her mother still doesn't have much in her hands.

So the life is hard, like when Hu Zi was a child, the clothes her second brother Yang Chunming couldn't wear, and some of them were specially changed by her mother, but Chunqiu was different, because Chunqiu was the only girl in the second room, and She doesn't have an older sister, so all the clothes she wears are newly made and bought by her mother-in-law, even if she can only buy one piece this year.

Unlike Chunqiu, like Chunhua from her uncle's natal family, she wears the leftover clothes of her eldest sister Chunni, and Xiao Shitou also wears clothes that her eldest brother Yang Chunjun can't wear, especially her uncle's mother is still a budget-conscious person. I can't wait for a penny to be two pennies, but I can only think about it. How miserable Chunhua and Xiaoshi are, Chunqiu's childhood is much happier than Chunhua.

Afterwards, when her mother had money, the living conditions of the family gradually improved, and Chunqiu didn't have to compromise on what to wear. In spring, summer, autumn and winter, a new dress for each season, now Chunqiu's own clothes in his closet There are so many clothes that I can't fit them.

……

Today's weather is better than before, and Huzi School is on holiday, and he happens to be Muxiu at home. Coupled with Spring and Autumn, the two children have directly become the main labor force of the family (her mother).

Her father, Yang Weibo, was still busy with the shop in the front yard. After all, the business in the shop brought in a lot of money every day, because if the shop was closed for a day, her mother would definitely not want it.

The newly erected bamboo poles in the yard were specially set up by her father last night. It looks a little simple, that is, first fix the two bamboo poles, and then tie a straw rope on top of the bamboo poles.

The shelves set up in the yard can add up to more than ten. According to her mother's arrangement, Chunqiu moved out all the quilts in her house.

Chunqiu put all the quilts in his arms on the ground, then turned his head to look at Yuan Shi, and said, "Mother, do you want more from the second brother's room?"

Mrs. Yuan was busy washing the quilts, she didn't turn her head when she heard Chunqiu's words, and replied directly, "Yes, Qiu'er, you go there by yourself, and then you are urging Huzi to quickly take out your quilts..." Yuan After Shi finished speaking, he quickly wrung out the washed quilt, then got up, and hung the quilt on the shelf beside him.

After watching her mother's series of movements, Chunqiu quickly responded, even though she turned around and ran to her second brother's study.

Before the test, in order to make it easier for him to concentrate on studying in the study, Yang Chunming directly asked his father to cut out a small compartment on the left side of the study for people to live in. After that, for more than a month, her second brother ate They all live in the study, but her second brother, now that he passed the general examination and won the Juren, he doesn't have to work so hard, so he moved out under her mother's persuasion, but there is still his set in the study The quilts are used for resting, and the set of quilts has not been washed since her second brother went to the county school. Chunqiu figured it out, her second brother has been away for two or three months, so this The bedding should be removed.

Before going to the study, Chunqiu first stopped at the door of Huzi's room, and then she slammed the door loudly, and she also successfully called Huzi out.

Simply repeating what her mother said, Chunqiu ignored him, pushed away from the study next door and walked in.

Walking around the screen painted with green bamboos with ease, Chunqiu came to her second brother's "temporary residence".

Lay the neatly folded quilt on the bed, Chunqiu started working with both hands at the same time, and directly tore off the top quilt, with a sound of "pull", the white inside was exposed in the quilt, and Chunqiu rolled the torn quilt together. , set aside.

When it came out, Chunqiu deliberately took out the cotton lining and left it there for two months. Chunqiu could still smell the moisture coming from it, thinking that her second brother would come back in a few days, um, Gaichao's quilt is prone to typhoid fever, not to mention that her second brother is now a well-known Juren master, and he will take part in the palace examination next year. He is precious, so he can't get sick. Chunqiu thought to himself, and the hand holding the quilt in his arms became more and more serious. tight.

With the help of her mother, Chunqiu successfully placed the quilt core on the shelf, a pile of quilts was already piled up at her mother's feet, and the water in the basin turned black, Chunqiu wiped her mouth, and directly He picked up the bucket on the side and ran to the well to fetch water.

"Mother, here you are." Chunqiu poured the water from the bucket into the empty basin beside her, and then pushed the empty basin to her mother.

Yuan Shi looked at the clean water pushed over from the side, smiled and praised Chunqiu, "You are such a good girl, ouch, I love you so much!"

After hearing this, Chunqiu laughed twice, and then worked harder to fetch water, but Chunqiu was weak after all, and after a few trips, he was so tired that he was out of breath. Fortunately, the tiger on the side took it .

The two siblings were like this, fetching water for her mother one after another, and the three of them worked until noon before cleaning the quilts under Yuan's feet.

At noon, they ate pasta, which her mother brought directly from the shop. Her father was still busy in the shop, so he didn't come over for dinner.

The mother and son sat in the yard, each holding a bowl of noodles, mixed with the egg marinade that her mother had beaten before, and began to eat while mixing...

After lunch, Chunqiu and Huzi went back to the room to rest, while her mother, Yuan Shi, sent the finished dishes to the kitchen, then turned around, and went to the shop in the front yard to continue her work.

The blankets in the yard are blowing in the wind, the windows and doors are wide open, Chunqiu is lying on her little bed, sleeping quietly and peacefully, her breathing is steady and powerful, all of them are trying to find her sleeping soundly...
