Chapter 73 Willing to give clothes to Jinbao to wear
Su Xiaosi looked dumbfounded, "What kind of melon is a pumpkin?"
Ever since he could remember, his family had been eating vegetables and eating chaff, half hungry, half full, half vegetables and half grass every day.
In the past two years, he also ate bark and leaves, and the most common ones were sweet potatoes and potatoes. Rice and white noodles often had to wait until the New Year and holidays to eat them.
What kind of melon is pumpkin? He seems to have never eaten it...
"Xiao Si, have you forgotten? On your third birthday, your mother cooked pumpkin porridge for you, and you drank two big bowls of it by yourself!" Su Jianmin said with a smile.
"Third birthday?" Su Xiaosi didn't remember it at all.
His brothers did remember that the last time they ate pumpkin was five years ago.
"Pumpkins are also delicious when steamed," the second child swallowed, "I remember pumpkins can be stored for a long time!"
The boss nodded, "It's good to grow pumpkins! They are easier to preserve than eggplants. Eggplants will go bad in a few days if they are not eaten in time."
"As for vegetables that are easy to preserve, carrots are not bad, and they are easy to grow." Lao San said.
"Pumpkins, carrots..." Bai Lu thought for a while, "How about planting some more tomatoes in the ground? They taste sour and sweet. They can be eaten as stir-fry or as fruit. I'm just worried that I won't be able to grow them."
Su Jianmin smiled and said: "Try it! I also want to try tomatoes."
After another discussion, everyone agreed to grow pumpkins, carrots and tomatoes in the vegetable patch.
"Huh?" Su Xiaosi suddenly thought of a question, tilted his head, and looked at Xiao Jinbao doubtfully, "It's strange, I don't even remember what a pumpkin is. Why does Sixth Sister know about pumpkins?"
"Yes..."
"How does Jin Bao know about pumpkin?"
Being stared at by his parents and brothers, little Jinbao started to act stupid and said, "Guagua..."
"Jin Bao didn't say pumpkin, it was the third child who said pumpkin." Su Jianmin gently touched his precious daughter's head.
"But when the third brother said pumpkin, the sixth sister nodded. The second brother asked if it was a bitter melon, and she shook her head. Second brother, right?"
After Su Xiaosi asked, his second brother smiled and said: "How can Jinbao really understand what we are talking about? When she saw the third brother talking to her, she just nodded randomly, otherwise you ask her again if she wants to grow bitter melons.
?”
After hearing what the second brother said, Su Xiaosi squatted down in front of Xiao Jinbao and asked her if she wanted to grow bitter melons?
"Gua Gua..." Jin Bao seemed to be very happy, dancing and dancing, "Gua Gua... Pigeon Pigeon..."
"Haha, did you hear that? Jinbao called you stupid brother." Su Jianmin laughed at his fourth son.
After he finished speaking, the whole family burst out laughing, "Foolish brother..."
Su Xiaosi blushed, "No, Jinbao said melon, not fool."
Seeing the sixth sister's giggle, her big eyes bent like crescent moons in the sky, he also laughed, "Forget it, just be a fool, hehe, as long as you can make the sixth sister happy."
The next day, Zhang Guangmao received the vegetable seeds the factory bought from the production team.
He shouted through a loudspeaker and asked each household to send someone downstairs to line up to collect the seeds.
"Lulu, what do you want to grow at home?" Lin Yulan asked.
Bai Lu ranked behind Lin Yulan.
She held little Jinbao in her right hand and slightly adjusted the hem of Jinbao's clothes with her left hand.
"Jin Bao, tell Aunt Lin, what do we grow in our vegetable field?" Bai Lu asked her daughter with a smile.
"Guagua..." Jinbao wanted to say "tomato" but couldn't, and made a meaningless babbling with glutinous milk, "Ababa..."
Lin Yulan's face was full of tears because of Jin Bao's cuteness, and she pinched her little face gently, "Oh, look at how smart our little baby is. She can already answer her mother's words. She is so smart. She will definitely be a college student when she grows up.
"
Hearing her praise her daughter so much, Bai Lu's face was filled with a smile.
"By the way, Lulu, what kind of melon do you grow at home? Luffa? Or bitter melon?"
"Pumpkins," Bai Lu said with a smile, "and carrots and tomatoes. What about your family? What do you grow?"
"My Qiangzi wants to eat eggplants, and Damei wants to eat beans. I can just get these two. I can't grow much in one centimeter of land."
The queue formed a long queue, and Li Qinghua was two places in front of Lin Yulan.
Hearing the conversation between Lin Yulan and Bai Lu later, she mocked: "You want to grow eggplants and beans in your weed field? There are the most pests in summer, and they will definitely eat them all before they sprout."
"Li Qinghua, what do you mean, you..."
Lin Yulan was about to curse, but Bai Lu stopped her, "There's no point arguing with her."
"Hmph! That's right, arguing with her is a waste of my saliva." Lin Yulan was too lazy to talk to Li Qinghua and chatted with Bai Lu about Jin Bao.
"The weather has been too hot recently. I saw prickly heat on Jinbao's back. I thought that I have a pure cotton sweatshirt at home that was worn by Damei when she was ten years old. I might as well make two small clothes for Jinbao tomorrow.
Would you like to wear it? Those clothes are breathable and absorb sweat."
Bai Lu hurriedly refused: "Why is this so embarrassing? Everyone's home is short of cloth now, so you can keep it for yourself..."
Lin Yulan smiled enthusiastically and said: "Oh, that dress is too small for Damei to wear, and I can't even wear it. Why don't I make it smaller for Jinbao to wear? That piece of fabric saved me more than half a year."
I bought it and it feels very comfortable to the touch.”
Li Qinghua felt sour in her heart when she heard their conversation.
Yanzi's clothes had several holes and were patched, and the sleeves were already half-short.
Her Yan Zi is five years old, and she still wears three-year-old old clothes.
If you can’t buy cloth this year, you will definitely not be able to wear the clothes next year. Then you will have to cut your own clothes to make clothes for the swallows...
She only has three pieces of summer clothes!
Li Qinghua thought of this, forced a smile, and called Lin Yulan "Sister-in-law Xu" instead, "Sister-in-law Xu, if you don't want those clothes, sell them to me. If the material feels good, I can buy it from you for fifty cents, how about it?"
"What? You want to buy clothes with me?" Lin Yulan seemed to have heard some big joke.
"Fifty cents is a lot. Anyway, your beauty can't wear those clothes anymore. It would be a waste to leave them alone."
"It's so funny. My Qiangzi's current salary is 45 yuan a month. Will it be 50 cents short of yours?"
Lin Yulan covered her mouth and laughed, "Oh, I almost forgot, someone's husband has worked in the factory for so many years, and his monthly salary is still more than 20 yuan. Of course, he even hides 50 cents, treating it as a huge sum of money.
.”
Hearing everyone around him laughing, Li Qinghua's face instantly turned red and she said angrily: "Lin Yulan, I'm kindly buying you used clothes so that you don't give them away without making a penny. If you don't want to sell them, forget it. It's necessary to do this."
Sarcastic?"
"You don't need your kindness. If you give me ten yuan, I won't sell it to you. I'm willing to give the clothes to Jinbao for free!"
