Two little ones running happily in the yard, that's it, right? With this condition, it's better to give yourself and the children more conveniences in life.
Chen Miao feels that her bottom line is always being refreshed by her two children.
Maybe all mothers are like this? In the future, when they grow up, there is nothing you can do to spoil them like this.
I always say this, but I always violate it.
She sat in the main room reading a book and let them play by themselves.
Mother stayed at home for three days before going out, wearing rain boots.
Looking at the two of them and the children showing off their rain boots and Chen Miaoxiao, showing off is actually not a good thing.
"Are you from Xiaofeng's family coming out?"
"Sister-in-law, if I wait until I'm done before I come out, wouldn't it mean that Yun Shan and Yun Xin can't stay at home?"
"What shoes do you, mother-in-law, have?"
"The rain boots I brought back from the south."
Zhao Xiaoyun reached down and touched the edge of the rain boots, "It's really a good thing."
"It's quite expensive. This pair of shoes costs two yuan."
"Two dollars?"
"Isn't it?"
"You are a prodigal, but you are so willing to give up. How much do Yun Shan Yun Xin and the others wear?"
"One dollar a pair."
"If your parents-in-law were still here, a prodigal daughter-in-law like you would definitely be beaten." Zhao Xiaoyun rolled his eyes and said.
"Haha, if that were the case, I wouldn't necessarily buy it."
"What are you afraid of?"
"Be confident!"
"Yes, that's it. By the way, we can start planting in two or three days."
Chen Miao nodded, "Yeah. I planted sweet potatoes and cotton on the rainy day, that is, in the field and in the area next to it. I'm thinking of peanuts as the highlight this year.
Also, I brought back some seeds from the south, which are vegetables we have never seen here. I will plant them this year and grow them for you to eat. If possible, I will give you the seeds next year."
"Okay, can we still eat southern food?" Seeing that the children had started playing with mud, the two of them didn't stop them. Just do whatever you want, right?
This kind of Tianliu Laifu is also exchanged for tofu. Some people have less soybeans, so they save some for making miso. If they want to eat tofu, they can use other grains to exchange them.
Liu Laifu was willing to accept anyone who came. He would give him any food in exchange. If he used corn, he would give him more.
"Yunshan Yunxin, come over and eat tofu."
Two little ones ran over, and Liu Laifu cut two small pieces and fed them. The two of them just took one bite and ran away to continue playing.
"Chen Miao, I'll send you a piece of tofu."
"Brother-in-law, we don't want it anymore. Let's have vegetable pancakes for lunch."
"Eat it mixed with tofu."
Chen Miao still shook his head, "No, brother-in-law, go and change." It was really embarrassing to eat. Their family was still eating steamed buns made with tofu and cornmeal. It was really a shame that they always ate for nothing.
"You're going to my house for dinner? My mother-in-law said we'll have sticky sorghum rice and tofu curd for lunch today."
Chen Miao shook his head, "I won't go, I'm going to make noodles. It's better to have a fire on such a humid day."
The children still went out to play in the afternoon, and Chen Miao was chatting with a few women. They all had shoe soles, but she didn't bring them, so she was a little embarrassed to be alone.
"Does Xiaofeng's family still make cotton-padded clothes in winter? Can you take a look at my work? I also want to make some money."
The Changsheng family member sighed after saying that. She didn't have a penny in her hand. Her mother-in-law was too stingy and her life was really uncomfortable.
"Auntie's job is quite good, I should do it."
Chen Miao suddenly thought that it would be great to set up a clothing factory in the village. Thinking of this, she felt that she was too whimsical.
Today's garment factories also use sewing machines, just like before. They can do whatever they can.
"Chen Miao, I want to follow suit."
"You have to tell Aunt Five. I don't care about this. But this year I will try to get as much cotton fabric as possible so that I can make more."
I understand that their life is difficult, and this is the deep-rooted thought. How else can I say that the daughter-in-law of many years has become a mother-in-law?
"You from the Xiaofeng family are really capable. You didn't even speak before."
Chen Miao sighed, "I can't help it. It's definitely not possible for us, the third wife, to live on our own as before.
As for my ability? It’s nothing. It’s just that I feel uneasy after getting money from the Japs. All this money is spent on soldiers who have gone through life and death, and I feel safe even when I sleep.”
"You, if I would never give up that much money."
Chen Miao just laughed, and several women laughed and talked about what they would do when they got rich.
I really haven’t seen anything. Most of them said they wanted to eat meat every day and have new clothes to wear.
Chen Miao thought that if she spent money as a family, she probably had this kind of realistic thought.
"I guess we can start farming the day after tomorrow. My father-in-law is still worried about a severe drought."
"Yes, my old man was worried every day, but he is fine now."
Chen Miaoxin said that this rain is not enough, that is, the seedlings can emerge smoothly. A lot of rain will be needed later, and she is just worried about insect infestations.
Abnormal weather conditions will definitely not bring good things. She tried hard to recall whether there was a locust plague in the past 40 years or so.
I really can’t think of it. If it was really just aphids or something, there would still be a harvest. If it were locusts, there would really be no grass left where they passed by.
"From Xiaofeng's family?"
"Second sister-in-law."
"I'll catch the pig later."
"Okay, I'll go home and push the cart."
The Erqiao family immediately waved, "No, let your second brother send it over." A woman was afraid that she couldn't handle it.
"Then the relationship is good, when are you going to catch it?"
"I'll call the other two families. You can just go there in a moment."
Chen Miao called his two sons over. "What are you doing with them? Can't they just play here?"
"Let them go watch and catch pigs." This is not a peaceful era, and it would be unsafe to leave two such young children alone outside and say anything.
Yunshan and Yunxin were very curious when they heard that they were going to catch pigs, so they followed their mother reluctantly.
"Do you think Xiaofeng can come back?"
"Crow Zui, don't talk nonsense, you will definitely come back."
"Bah, bah, bah, I'm talking nonsense."
Having said that, several women are thinking about whether Shen Jianfeng can come back. It's really hard to say. If he can't come back, it will be a big pain for their mothers.
I bumped into Chen Dou on the way, "Third sister, what are you going to do?"
"Catch two pigs from Erqiao's house."
"Well, our family will also raise a pig this year. Then I will dig more wild vegetables and send them to your family."
"Well, what are you going to do?"
"I went to my third sister-in-law's house. She was pregnant. She said she didn't feel well and asked me to do some work."
Chen Miao nodded and didn't say anything. She was not close to her three brothers. She really didn't like those three sisters-in-law.
They are not as understanding as outsiders. It can be said that they have all the bad qualities of uneducated country women. When they get pregnant, they start to instruct their sister-in-law to work. In fact, if it is good, it is okay, but the main thing is that the third sister-in-law is really not good.
