It's not that Chen Miao didn't know what they were thinking. But there were some things he didn't need to say to them.
The other women saw that Chen Miao had no intention of answering, so they stopped talking about it.
The children were playing happily. Chen Miao looked at the two children with a smile on her face.
"Does the Xiaofeng family know you are here?"
Chen Miao looked at Zhao Xiaoyun who was walking over quickly and smiled, "Sister-in-law, we saw a few children when we came back. Yun Shanyunxin didn't even want to eat and wanted to come out to play."
"You."
With the addition of Zhao Xiaoyun, several women started gossiping again. In fact, they felt scared talking to Chen Miao.
By four o'clock, it was already getting dark, the wind was picking up, and it was getting cold.
"Yunshan Yunxin, let's go home."
The two brothers came over reluctantly. They were afraid that their mother would not talk to them.
"Xiaofeng's family is going back now? You don't have any in-laws at home either."
"When it's time to feed the animals, you also need to light a fire, otherwise the house will be cold."
"I'm going back too."
Zhao Xiaoyun went back with his mother, "I'll send you cotton and rhubarb rice later."
"OK."
She had just started lighting the fire when two brothers, Shen Jianchun, came over.
"Brother, I'm sorry to trouble you."
The two men didn't want to stay in someone else's house for too long, so they left after saying polite words.
Shen Jianchun looked at his second brother and sighed, "I came back from Xiaofeng."
"I know, Brother Xiaofeng has been very good since he was a child."
Shen Jianchun didn't know what to say. What he meant by saying this was to tell his second brother not to have other ideas.
I just met Xiaofeng's wife, and he peeked at her with a red face. This is definitely not okay.
Shen Jianlin smiled bitterly in his heart, how could he not know what his elder brother wanted to say? It was just that he couldn't control it.
Four years ago, I fell in love with Chen Miao, a quiet and beautiful girl.
But she was engaged. At that time, she had thought about how great it would be if Shen Jianfeng came back and refused to acknowledge the marriage and not marry Chen Miao?
They felt uncomfortable on the day they got married, and knew in their hearts that they should bless them. But they still had a little fantasy, wanting to live with her, and wanting a wife who liked him.
My mother didn’t like anyone she introduced to her, she just didn’t feel like me, and I didn’t want my parents to be anxious and angry as a family. But I haven’t left yet.
Chen Miao started to pack up the beef after the children went to bed at night and cut it into strips. It would be convenient for eating in the future.
Pork is very lean, so I just use a meat grinder to mince it. The same goes for donkey meat. I suddenly want to eat donkey meat steamed dumplings.
My former roommates were very good at cooking. When they moved out during their internship, they enjoyed a lot of delicious food, one of which was donkey meat steamed dumplings.
I learned it myself and will do it tomorrow. I really miss a few friends and I don’t know how they are doing now.
After everything was tidied up, I got on the kang and sighed. It would be great if there was a stove. It felt cold today. From now on, even if the kang is hot, the room will still be cold.
I got up twice in the middle of the night, and when I got up the next day, there was nothing wrong with the two children.
The mother and son had just finished eating and were playing on the kang, when Zhao Xiaoyun came over with his two children.
Chen Miao gave each of the siblings a piece of twist.
"Ahem, Xiaofeng's family, if you have good things in the future, don't give them to them. Keep it for Yunshan and the others to eat later."
"Sister-in-law, please don't be like this, I care about Jiaojiao and Zikang."
"You'd better save some money. Yunshan and the others will need a lot of money when they get older."
"Well, I know that this money belongs to bad people, so I think it should be spent."
Others don't know where Chen Miao's money came from. But Zhao Xiaoyun heard from her parents-in-law that it was the money she got from killing the Japs. I heard that the cotton clothes made for the team came from that money.
Forget it, she has the ability. But from now on, I will rarely come to her house, and either go outside to play or go to my own house. I don’t know how to return her favor.
I can't always take advantage, sorry.
"Come on, let's put up the sorghum stalks, and I'll teach you how to string up the canopy curtains."
Chen Miao's family's sorghum straw was in the woodshed. Two bundles were brought out.
"You still have so many seedlings? Ask your elder brother to tie two brooms for you."
"That's good, let's tie up two more cooking brooms."
Use a sickle to cut off the thin end and carry it into the house.
In fact, stringing curtains is quite simple. You just need to pick sorghum stalks of uniform thickness and string them together with needle and thread. Then stagger the two pieces and string them together again. Finally, use a sickle to shape them into a round shape.
"What's wrong with this? You can figure it out just by looking at it, but you still end up spending a lot of money on it."
"Haha, I'll do it now."
It was almost noon, and Zhao Xiaoyun took his two children back. They decided to play under the big willow tree after lunch.
The donkey meat steamed dumplings made by Chen Miao at noon had such a taste that her eyes turned red after eating them. She thought of her sisters.
"mother."
Chen Miao smiled, and her two sons were looking at her.
"Is it delicious?"
The two little ones nodded. Unexpectedly, they each ate a steamed dumpling. I was really worried that they would eat too much.
After finishing the meal, I left the main room and found two children already waiting in the yard.
Their mother arrived not too early, and there were already several children playing.
Everyone said hello to Chen Miao. She also smiled and replied.
It was quite boring to stand here, but it was too cold outside and the children were running around, so her hands and feet became cold after standing here for a while.
She might as well practice her aim with stones. Her aim is already very good, and this is also a golden finger for her.
Zhao Xiaoyun came over, and the Jiaojiao sister and brother ran over with smiles.
"I'm late today, waiting for my father-in-law to have dinner."
"What did Uncle Wu do?"
"That girl from Erjiang is dead."
"Dead?" Life is really fragile.
"Well, I'm so skinny that I only have a handful of bones left."
This topic is too heavy. Although life is difficult, how much can a little girl eat? Why are you so ignorant?
Just as he was talking, several other women came over.
"Do you, Xiaofu's family, know what's going on with the Erjiang family? What's going on with that little girl?"
"It's already buried. It's so skinny and skinny. It looks blue in the face."
In this turbulent era, it is not uncommon for people to die, but it is a pity that such a young child is gone.
Her relatives were very responsible for her death. If it hadn't been for their contempt, the little girl wouldn't have died like this.
This topic was quite heavy and I didn’t want to talk about it, so I changed the topic, but I still wasn’t as happy as before.
Chen Miao looked at the children playing aside. They were all dark and skinny. Every family was having a hard time.
She now has a negative thought. It is too difficult to live. It is even more difficult for such a young child. There are external dangers and there will be hunger. It is a pity. Although there are many sufferings, it is a pity not to have experienced them.
"What do you think about Xiaofeng's family?"
Chen Miao twitched her lips but did not answer. She was in a bad mood.
