It took two days to remove the grass again and thin out the adjacent seedlings.
Just after entering home in the evening, Chen Jiang ran over in a panic, "Third sister, Comrade Li and the others are back. Xiaosong is injured, and Comrade Li looks very serious."
Chen Miao was stunned for a moment, because news in this era was really slow. He didn't know how they were doing. Do they need rescue? It was up to them to be able to come back from injury.
"where are you now?"
"At the village chief's house."
"Wait a minute, this is the bruise medicine I bought in the county. You can send it over and let Comrade Li decide whether he can use it or not."
Chen Miao really bought this at the grocery store. At that time, he just thought that he would go up the mountain frequently and get medicine if he was injured.
Next time I think that if I have a chance to deal with the little devils in the future, I will definitely put away some of their medicines and other things. These things will be in short supply in the future.
Chen Jiang ran away with the bruise medicine, and Chen Miao quickly packed up and fed the animals. She was very tired, so she just made pimple soup with cabbage.
When she woke up the next morning, she saw that the four hens in the henhouse had not gotten up. She entered the henhouse, grabbed a chicken, and smiled when she saw the eggs.
Looking at the duck, he said to himself, "It's up to you, I'm waiting to eat salted duck eggs." After the chicken and duck went out, they took the donkey out.
The work in the field can be finished in two hours, and the little donkey is full before going back.
Because the chickens laid eggs today, Chen Miao went to the river with a rake to pull up the water plants.
I was afraid of getting tired, so I worked and rested for a while. By noon, there were already a lot of aquatic plants on the river bank.
I made cornmeal in the morning and tried to wrap the pancakes with cabbage. Not to mention it was not bad, the skin was thick but the filling was small, but it was an improvement.
It was quite delicious. Chen Jiang ran over and said, "Sit down and eat."
"Third sister, I'm full."
"Eat more." It's when I'm growing tall, and the food at home is rationed, so I guess I won't be full.
"Third sister, if you add more oil, it will be more fragrant."
"of course?"
I served Chen Jiang a bowl of porridge. It was so thin and dry.
"Third sister, Comrade Li received a gunshot wound because he was trying to save Xiao Song, but I heard that he seemed to have killed a few kidnappers."
"Chen Jiang, be careful. Too many things have happened here, and so many little devils have died. They will definitely not let it go."
"Comrade Li also said the same. The village chief arranged for a few of us to take turns to monitor every day. If we find the little devil coming, we can run away."
"Well, you must be careful. It's best if you make a secret code so that you can be safer."
"Comrade Li taught us." Chen Jiang was already eating his second vegetable pancake. It was so delicious.
After the meal, he ran away and Chen Miao went to sleep.
I have nothing to do in the afternoon. I collect vegetables from the garden at home and eat fresh ones in winter. I feel delicious just thinking about it.
Three days passed like this, and Chen Jiang came over every day to say that they were monitoring and found nothing.
It's not the autumn harvest yet. There's not much work to do, and we can still send out people to monitor it.
It was cloudy that day, so Chen Miao did not let out the chickens, ducks and geese. He went into the chicken pen to feed them and found that the ducks had also laid eggs.
He put away his smile and looked at the two big white geese. "You guys have to work hard too."
Although it was cloudy, it hadn't rained yet. Chen Miao drove the donkey cart to the river and loaded all the dried water plants into the cart. They put all the carts into the woodshed. They can feed the chickens and ducks in winter, even though it's cold.
Even though I can't lay eggs, I can still grow fat. I packed everything and went into the house to make cotton shoes.
In fact, country people, especially country women, can be said to have no spare time at all. The fields at home and the kang are full of work.
I also started making my own cotton-padded clothes. Children's clothes are the same as those for adults. I made one thin cotton-padded coat and one thick one according to my figure.
There is no suitable fabric, otherwise I still want to make a coat. Although the one Shen Jianfeng left has been disassembled and washed, I still want to wear a new one. While doing needlework, I also want to make gloves, hats, and scarves.
We also need to make small hats, pillows and socks for the children.
It has started to rain lightly outside, and I want to wait until it is sunny to ask Liu Qingshi's family. I want to make tiger-head shoes, tiger-head hats, and little tiger pillows for the children.
Suddenly it occurred to me that I could make a Wudu Doudou. That one should be more interesting, but there is no red cloth. I think I am stupid, so I should buy more fabrics when I go to the county seat. I also need a lot of bedding. If not, go to the county seat again?
The more I thought about it, the more I thought I should go there again and see the current situation in the county.
With this idea, Chen Miao felt that she could no longer work with all her heart.
There was no heavy rain today, it was just a sporadic drizzle outside.
The cotton shoes are made and look pretty good.
It’s still vegetable pancakes. This way you don’t need to stir-fry and it tastes delicious.
While cooking, I was still thinking about why Chen Jiang hasn’t come over today? I shouldn’t go out to work at home today.
This man really couldn't help but talk about it. Hearing the knock on the door, he went to open the door in the rain.
"What did you do this morning?"
"I'm going to learn how to read with Comrade Li. Third sister, I can write my own name, and I can also write your name. I'll teach you how to write." Chen Jiang wrote his name on the floor of the hall, and also wrote Chen.
The name of the seedling.
"Third sister, look, this is your name."
"It looks pretty simple."
"Third sister, please see what I write, and it should be like this."
Chen Miao also held a small branch and scratched it on the ground.
"Third sister, you are so smart. You wrote it right."
The rice was already cooked, and while the two siblings were eating, Chen Jiang was busy talking about learning to write with Li Wenquan.
"Comrade Li has recovered?"
"Not yet. So teach us how to write."
After eating, Chen Jiang still wanted to study with Li Wenquan.
"Ask Comrade Li, if I want to go to the county town, do I need to buy medicine?"
"Third sister, why are you going to the county town?"
"I'm going to buy fabrics and prepare things for my children."
Chen Jiang looked at Chen Miao disapprovingly, "Third sister, you'd better not go. Comrade Li said that the county will be very chaotic now."
"I'm just going to take a look. If something happens, I won't go in."
"Then Third Sister, I will go with you."
Chen Miao shook his head, "No, I'll go over and take a look myself."
Chen Jiang didn't say anything, but went to Li Wenquan to tell Li Wenquan what the third sister had said.
Li Wenquan thought for a while, "Chen Jiang, come with me to find your third sister."
"Comrade Li, can you leave?"
"fine."
Chen Miao had just laid down when she heard the knock on the door again.
Even though it was raining and looking at the two people outside, I still let them in.
Li Wenquan was quite reserved. After all, this was a woman's residence.
"Comrade Li, what's the matter?"
"Comrade Chen, are you going to the county seat?"
"Yes, you have to prepare some things when the baby is about to be born."
