Sun Ruhua quickly let Niu Er in.
Niu Er had a naive smile on his face: "Grandma Sun!"
Sun Ruhua responded with a smile.
Niu Er put the things on the table and called Xie Zhiyi to go to the village to play.
Xie Zhiyi glanced at Sun Ruhua, who smiled and waved her hands: "Go, but be careful about your clothes and don't tear them."
Xie Zhiyi hummed happily and ran out with Niu Er.
Sun Ruhua then opened what Niu Er brought, and it turned out to be peach slice cake.
"Oh, what do we have to pay for such an expensive thing?"
"What does this Niu Er's father do? How can he do it so well?"
Sun Ruhua thought that Xie Jiaojiao had been sick all these years, so she didn't know it and wasn't surprised. She explained: "Brother Niu helps you make furniture in the town. He usually also does some handicrafts and sells them. The family is much richer because of this. He will come back when the farming is busy, and go to the town to help during the leisure time. Alas, but the bad thing is that his wife passed away early. After so many years, he has not renewed their relationship. At the beginning, your Aunt Wang I'm anxious, but now that Youniu Er has grown so big, I should be anxious about Niu Er, so I'm not anxious about you, Brother Niu. In the past, a matchmaker would have come to visit at this time."
After Sun Ruhua finished speaking, she turned to Xie Jiaojiao and said, "Isn't it because your sister-in-law thinks that this craft can make money, and she has always wanted to send Xie Qian to learn this craft, but your brother Niu has never agreed."
I see.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at the peach slice cake, reached out and ate a piece, it felt so sweet.
Thinking: "Mom, don't we still have some brown sugar we sold last time? You can pack some and give it to Aunt Wang."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sun Ruhua's eyes lit up, she patted her thigh and said with a smile, "No, I forgot about this thing. Then, while you are at home, I will go and deliver it to your Aunt Wang and then come back."
Xie Jiaojiao nodded and wanted to say one more thing, don't pay attention to people who see the old house, but seeing Sun Ruhua so happy, she didn't say anything.
How can Sun Ruhua be unhappy? Now that she has a lot of money, she can afford to pay back such expensive things from her old sisters. This is called respect.
Sun Ruhua put the brown sugar in a basket, put a piece of cloth on it and went out.
Xie Jiaojiao suddenly became bored at home alone.
Sun Ruhua came back an hour later, and Xie Jiaojiao was worried that she might have bumped into those people from the old house again.
"Mom and your Aunt Wang talked a lot, so you came back late. Mom is going to cook now!"
Xie Jiaojiao lit a fire for Sun Ruhua, and Sun Ruhua said with a smile: "I was telling you just now about your brother Niu's re-engagement. I never thought that after today, I heard that your brother Niu was going to marry someone during the Chinese New Year. Your Aunt Wang My family, Ding Bo, hasn’t had any happy events for a long time. Although this time it’s a marriage renewal, I still want to make it a good one.”
"That's a good thing."
"No, that's why your Aunt Wang pulled me to talk more."
In the afternoon, Sun Ruhua took Xie Jiaojiao and Xie Zhiyi to work in the fields. The sweet potatoes will be dug soon. They need to cut all the sweet potato vines first. If there are pigs, they can be dried directly. Feeding the pigs, but the pigs were also sold, and it was troublesome to carry the sweet potato vines back. Sun Ruhua thought that she could just give them all to someone in the village who wanted them, and avoid the pain of carrying them.
Many people in the village wanted this thing at home. Seeing that they gave it to their families for free and even went to their homes to cut it themselves, it saved them a lot of trouble.
Xie Jiaojiao and Sun Ruhua cleared a piece of land in the backyard and dug a cellar to store the sweet potatoes.
Then there was a scene of harvesting sweet potatoes. The fields were full of people. Everyone was harvesting sweet potatoes and talking and laughing together, and they also looked to see if other people’s sweet potatoes were bigger than their own.
I met people from the old house several times in the field, but no one said hello to each other.
Sun Ruhua was responsible for digging the sweet potatoes, and Xie Zhiyi wiped off the excess mud on the sweet potatoes. The transportation task naturally fell on Xie Jiaojiao.
I thought I couldn't carry the basket of sweet potatoes on my back, but I never thought that when the sweet potatoes landed on my body, it was okay and I could carry it on my back. However, after carrying this basket for a day, there were red marks on my shoulders. Sun Ruhua looked at it. Feeling distressed, he said that he would switch with her the next day.
Xie Jiaojiao refused. Sun Ruhua was almost fifty now, which was considered very old in ancient times. If it were her, she would be injured and her recovery would not be as good as hers.
Fortunately, Xie Zhiyi was injured before, and there was still unused ointment. It would be better the next day after applying it. Although there were only two acres of sweet potatoes, there were only three people in their family, and they were all old, weak, women and children, so it was naturally slow to do this. Some.
Seeing that everyone in the village had finished harvesting their fields, Xie Jiaojiao and the others took all the sweet potatoes back.
Xie Jiaojiao was so tired that she didn't want to move in bed.
After Sun Ruhua sealed the sweet potatoes in the cellar, she knew that everyone was tired these days. Regardless of her own fatigue, she went to the town and bought a pound of meat and white noodles. Thinking that Xie Jiaojiao liked to drink bone soup, she bought some more specially. 2 coins of bones.
As soon as I got home, I started to get busy.
Xie Zhiyi saw Sun Ruhua coming back after buying so many delicious foods, and wanted to shout with joy, but Sun Ruhua covered her mouth: "Keep it down, your sister is very tired these days, let her have a good rest."
Xie Zhiyi immediately covered his mouth, nodded, and whispered: "I understand, mother, let me light a fire for you."
In the kitchen, Sun Ruhua was cooking enthusiastically, and Xie Jiaojiao could smell the aroma of steamed buns in her dreams.
When I woke up, my stomach was growling with hunger, and I looked out at the dark sky.
Seeing Xie Jiaojiao getting up, Xie Zhiyi immediately shouted: "Mom, sister is awake."
When Sun Ruhua heard Xie Zhiyi shouting, she immediately rushed to the kitchen and brought out the food.
"Have you not eaten yet?"
The only kerosene lamp in the house was lit on the table.
"Zhiyi, move the lights away."
Xie Zhiyi turned off the light and said, "Mom said we'll have dinner together when you get up, sister! Come and sit down quickly, mom made buns again and stewed bone soup!"
Xie Jiaojiao took a look and saw that it was indeed very rich.
After she finished cooking, Sun Ruhua stuffed a bun into her bowl and said, "You must be hungry. You have worked hard these days."
Xie Jiaojiao's heart warmed, she held the chopsticks and shook her head slightly: "It's okay."
Seeing her picking up the buns, Sun Ruhua quickly scooped up another bowl of bone soup for her.
While Xie Jiaojiao was eating steamed buns and drinking bone soup, her stomach felt warm for a moment.
She also gave Sun Ruhua a bun and said, "Mom, you eat too. You have worked hard these days."
"Eh!"
Over there, Xie Zhiyi took one and took a bite. His mouth was filled with the aroma of meat, and he said with a smile: "The buns made by my mother are more delicious than those in the town!"
His words made everyone very happy: "It's delicious, just eat more!"
"Well! Don't worry, you can give me whatever you can't eat."
"Hahaha...."
Sun Ruhua said with a smile: "The sweet potatoes in the cellar are enough for us to eat for a long time. We can have a good time this winter."
"When the weather gets colder another day, Mom will go to the pig butcher's house in the village to buy two kilograms of meat, and then she will make bacon for you."
Xie Zhiyi looked excited: "Mom, do we really want to make bacon at home?"
Sun Ruhua glanced at Xie Jiaojiao: "Do it!"
"Okay, our family is also going to make bacon. From now on, we no longer have to listen to Brother Niu bragging that he has bacon at home, because we have it too!"
Sun Ruhua touched his head.
Xie Jiaojiao was eating the buns. Although she didn't speak, the corners of her mouth slightly raised showed that she was happy in her heart.
She was happy that Xie Zhiyi was becoming more and more lively, and she was happy that Sun Ruhua was slowly changing now.
These days will get better and better!
Under the dim light, the family of three was enjoying themselves!
