She had just finished eating and was enjoying the shade under a big tree in the village when she heard that the third daughter-in-law had come back with a lot of things today, including a lot of meat.
Li Hongying was worried that the third daughter-in-law had sold all the rice that had just been harvested at home, leaving no remaining food rations and spending all the money from selling the food.
If that were the case, life would be unbearable.
The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't sit still, so she came over anxiously.
The first thing she did when entering the yard was to look at the grain. Seeing the rows of packed grain neatly arranged, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he also secretly scolded the talkative women in the village. The third daughter-in-law didn't sell food at all, okay?
I'm really blind.
After Li Hongying came out of the room, she waved to Liu Wenxin, "Wenxin, did your mother go to the market today?"
Liu Wenxin nodded honestly.
"Bought a lot of things?"
Liu Wenxin still nodded.
"spent a lot of money?"
Liu Wenxin thought there should be quite a lot, and nodded again.
Li Hongying felt that she couldn't ask any more questions. It turned out that she was happy too early. The third daughter-in-law was still the one who didn't know how to live.
"Where did your mother get the money?"
She had heard before that the third daughter-in-law was digging tree roots in the mountains. If she hadn't run out of money, she would never do such a thing. Where would the money come from if she didn't sell rice?
Liu Wenxin spoke now, "It's money from selling Poria cocos."
"Poria?"
Liu Wenxin briefly explained the story of digging Poria cocos to sell at the market. He felt that his grandma had always been very kind to them, and since they had finished digging Poria cocos, there was no need to hide it.
"How much did it cost?" Li Hongying was more concerned about this question.
What puzzled her even more was, why did the third daughter-in-law suddenly know about medicinal materials?
Liu Wenxin shook his head again, "I don't know either."
He only knew that the Poria cocos was sold, and his mother didn't tell him how much it cost.
After Xu Miaomiao woke up, she bought a book on fashion design from the space. After reading it quickly, she took out the new sheets and quilts she bought at the market and washed them.
With the temperature of the sun, it will probably be dried out in a short time.
According to her estimation, the temperature must be over 40 degrees, which is really too hot.
She was covered in sweat just after taking a nap, and she felt extremely hot if she moved even a little bit, let alone someone working outside.
If you don't replenish water in time, you will definitely suffer from heatstroke.
Xu Miaomiao didn't think much about it, thinking that the temperature in August was normal.
You don’t need to bother washing the newly purchased sheets and quilts. You can simply rub them under water to remove the dust on the surface.
Just like newly bought clothes, she always feels uncomfortable wearing them without washing them.
It will definitely be cleaner if you simply wash it and wear it again. Who knows if these things fell on the ground during production and transportation.
After washing the sheets and quilts, she took out the fabric she bought and planned to make some summer clothes.
Just when she was about to take action, she remembered that she had done something very stupid - she didn't buy needlework, scissors or anything like that!
There's nothing to make of this piece of shitty clothes!
Xu Miaomiao looked at another piece of land in the yard and waved to the boss, "Wen Xin, come here."
Liu Wenxin was obedient and put down his work and walked over.
"What do you think I would use that land to grow vegetables?" Plant some green vegetables or something now, they should sprout in a few days.
Liu Wenxin followed her hand and looked over, "Okay, it's empty anyway, but the floor is a bit wooden, so it's not easy to open."
"It's okay, as long as you can plant it." Xu Miaomiao did as she said, picked up a hoe and started digging.
Xu Miaomiao's hands were already red after just a few strokes, and she would probably get blisters if she continued to stroke her hands.
"I'll do it." Liu Wenxin took the hoe in her hand and started working.
When Xu Miaomiao went to take a drink of water and rest, the land was about to be dug and leveled when she came back?
This is too fast!
This was the first time that Xu Miaomiao looked at Liu Wenxin with admiration, "Wenxin, you are so awesome, the flat earth is so nice."
Liu Wenxin blushed. It was just a small piece of land. It was a very simple matter for him who was used to working in the field.
Xu Miaomiao didn't notice her eldest son's shyness, so she called Liu Wenle directly, "When you go to grandma's house to ask for vegetable seeds, tell me I want to plant them."
Liu Wenle came back soon. In addition to cabbage seeds, there were also water spinach seeds.
Divide a piece of land into two small pieces, sprinkle the seeds on each, then water it and you're done.
For Xu Miaomiao, who was growing vegetables for the first time, she felt a sense of accomplishment when looking at the vegetable plot.
When she bought a house before, she planned to buy a first floor with a garden or a top floor with a separate terrace, but she couldn't find a suitable one after looking at it for more than a month.
Either it’s too expensive, or it’s not suitable for growing vegetables.
In fact, it was mainly a matter of budget. This kind of house was much more expensive than an ordinary floor, and she didn't have that much money.
In the end, I could only buy an ordinary two-bedroom apartment with nothing.
Now she can be regarded as living in a house with a small garden for growing vegetables.
Xu Miaomiao turned around and looked at the dilapidated houses in her house, laughing to herself that she was quite optimistic and had a good attitude.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Xu Miaomiao and Liu Wenle put away all the sheets, quilts and clothes.
Then I put on my newly bought tender sheets and blankets. Wow, they smell like sunshine. I really want to fall asleep right away.
As for the dirty quilt, Xu Miaomiao said that she had put it away and might use it as a bedding in the future.
She would just cover herself with a blanket at night, and when she was not busy, she would buy cotton to make a few new quilts.
"Let's go to your house."
Xu Miaomiao took the new sheets and walked away. Liu Wenle followed her without understanding.
When he saw that the bed he was sleeping on was also covered with new sheets, it was a very new gray-blue color, which was also his favorite color. He was so excited that he wanted to take off his shoes and climb into bed immediately!
But when he thought of his muddy feet, he stopped his excited heart and trembling hands.
Yes, he felt that his hands were quite dirty even if they were not washed. It would be bad if he touched the dirty new sheets.
He decided that if any of the three brothers didn't take a shower tonight, they wouldn't be able to go to bed or sleep on new sheets!
"Mom, you are so kind."
As soon as Xu Miaomiao laid out the sheets, Liu Wenle clung to her and hugged her legs.
This feeling was quite strange to her. The feeling of being called mom by her son and being clinging to him, especially when he looked at her with his big eyes blinking, made Xu Miaomiao feel like she was overflowing with maternal love.
"You are my son, of course I must treat you well."
"Then mom, will you suddenly become like you were before?" Liu Wenle subconsciously asked about the worries hidden in his heart. After asking, he quickly covered his mouth in fear.
