Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 229

"Mom, look, these clothes are too small"

Under the flickering lights, Chunqiu tried on one dress after another, but the result was that either the sleeves were too short or the neckline was too small.

Chunqiu was wearing clothes, looking at Yuan Shi who was sitting aside with aggrieved face, wondering why the new clothes just made this spring became so small so quickly.

During the day, Chunqiu and the others were busy making bedding all morning. Because they were too tired, Chunqiu and Huzi fell asleep directly. Yuan Shi felt sorry for her daughter and didn't call them up, so she didn't tidy up the clothes that she planned to tidy up in the afternoon. , No, thinking that she was free at night, she directly moved her mother to night.

Seeing how wronged her daughter was, Yuan stood up, walked to Chunqiu, lowered her head and touched the exposed cuff, and said in thought, "Well, it's really a little small."

Feeling the silky and supple material, the clothes are probably new. The material was specially bought by Yuan for Chunqiu this spring. She cut a dress and a pair of trousers. Now the clothes are too small, and even the trousers can’t be worn. .

"Qiu'er, try these trousers too, if you can't wear them, mother will change them into underwear for you." After Yuan Shi said to Chunqiu, she asked Chunqiu to take off her clothes.

Putting it aside casually, Yuan went on to watch Chunqiu try on the next piece of clothing.

Chunqiu found out the same pants as the previous clothes from the closet, and sure enough, the pants were also a bit shorter.

"Well, take it off, there are still clothes in it, try it all, if it doesn't work, let's buy it next year"

Yuan Shi glanced at Chunqiu's trousers, which were partially exposed, and let Chunqiu take them off.

Chunqiu obediently responded, and handed the trousers that she took off to Yuan Shi.

I took one piece after another from the closet, without exception, the clothes in the closet were newly made after coming to Linfang. As a result, except for the big clothes last winter, the rest of the clothes were all worn out. It's small, and it's a bit bulky to wear.

Watching her daughter try on all the clothes in the closet, Yuan Shi sighed slightly sadly.

It turns out that it is not good for a daughter to grow too fast. Yuan Shi looked down at the brand new material, both in terms of texture and feel, it was much better than ordinary cloth, Yuan's eyes felt a little distressed, obviously, these clothes Can't wear it.

"Qiu'er, are there any left in the closet? Take them out and try them out." Yuan shi tilted her head and looked at the wardrobe behind her daughter, because it was too far away, Yuan shi couldn't see clearly.

Chunqiu looked back, and replied in a low voice, "Nothing."

"Okay, mommy will take all these clothes away, and after a few days, mommy will make new ones for you." Yuan Shi got up, hugged the unwearable clothes in her arms, bowed her head and said a few words to Chunqiu, turned around and walked out. house.

After her mother left, Chunqiu directly closed the door and turned to look at the closet. There was a closet full of clothes before, but now, with an "ah", Chunqiu sighed. Still happy.

Early the next morning, when Chunqiu got up to eat, her mother mentioned the matter of clothes again.

Yang Weibo interjected, "Daughter-in-law, I'm going home in just two days, so how about sending this clothes back? The third daughter-in-law has given birth to two boys, and the children are also precious, so the fabrics at home are all..."

Before Yang Weibo could finish speaking, Yuan Shi interrupted the conversation, and Yuan Shi said angrily, "What are you talking about? Knowing that Jingui, the child of the family, went back to fetch Qiu'er's old clothes. Isn't this a Maitai person? Let's talk Well, the third child doesn't have the money to buy good fabrics, so does he need to count on these rags from our family?"

Her father was a little bit wronged by her mother, "Isn't that what I mean?" Yang Weibo himself felt that this was nothing wrong, anyway, he took it back and used it if he wanted, it's all a family.

Yuan Shi rolled her eyes at the two hundred and five idiots in front of her. They don't know anything and talk nonsense. They are separated. Women think a lot. Although Yang Weibo's words are not malicious, they can't stop them from making up their own minds. When the time comes Kindness is like a donkey's liver and lungs. They consciously did a good thing, but they were blamed in the end. At that time, neither of them cried.

Yang Weibo's suggestion was directly rejected by Yuan Shi, the reason was simple and rude, it just didn't work.

Yang Weibo opened his mouth and wanted to discuss it with his wife, but before he could open his mouth, Yuan's sharp eyes stared him down.

Lowering his head and shrinking his body, Yang Weibo didn't say a word, just sat aside and ate quietly.

The matter of clothes was settled in the end. Anyway, when her father left, her mother took away a few new cloths for his father, and there were no old clothes in the carriage. It seems that her mother put away all the clothes le.

Asking her father not to forget to bring more food when he came back, Yuan Shi stood in the distance and waved, watching her father drive away.

It wasn't until her father disappeared that her mother, Yuan Shi, turned around and asked Chunqiu who was standing at the door eagerly looking around, "Qiu'er, the business will open the day after tomorrow, have you got everything ready?"

Chunqiu nodded, "It's over, the decoration in the shop is similar, mother, let's move all the ointments there tomorrow." The ointments that were made before are still in the backyard, thinking that they will open the day after tomorrow, Chunqiu plans to move tomorrow come over.

"Okay, it will open the day after tomorrow. Your father may not be able to come back in time. How about this? Our shop will be closed for two days, and we will reopen when your father comes back." Thinking about a lot of things about the opening the day after tomorrow, Yuan decided Give the guys in the shop two days off, mainly because the family members are not in the shop to watch, although the guys employed in the shop are all good, but Yuan Shi is still worried, so he simply took the vacation.

"Okay, mother, I'll go to the backyard to see the ointment." Chunqiu nodded, expressing his unconditional agreement with what her mother said.

"Then you go there quickly. I haven't talked to the guys about the closing of the door. You go to the backyard by yourself first, and mother will explain to them."

The two entered the shop at the same time, Yuan turned into the kitchen, and Chunqiu went to the backyard.

All the prepared ointments were put into the cellar by Chunqiu. Yes, it is the cellar used by the northern people to store vegetables in winter, but it is used by Chunqiu to store ointments here. The temperature of the cellar is low, which is suitable for the storage of ointments. Advantage.

Chunqiu opened the weeds covering the cellar, and climbed down the ladder beside it. There is no sunlight in the cellar all year round, the air is humid, and it is also a bit chilly. In fact, this environment is not suitable for storing ointments, but only a few Day, it's not a big problem.

Chunqiu rubbed his numb arm, and after getting used to the underground environment, he slowly touched the ointment on the side, took out a bottle from the wooden box at the bottom, put it in his nostrils and smelled it carefully Smell, um, there is no deterioration, then opened the bottle stopper, poured out some ointment inside, put it into the palm of the hand, Chunqiu rubbed it vigorously, put it on the tip of the nose and smelled it well, until it was accurate, Chunqiu put the ointment in his hand Putting the ointment back again, he lowered his head and inspected the surrounding wooden boxes to see if there was any problem, and after confirming that it was correct, Chunqiu crawled out...
