Mrs. Li's eyes lit up and she quickly walked to the courtyard door and opened it, "Xiaoxiao, I thought who was knocking on the door at this point?
I heard that you came back to our hometown to go to the countryside? Very good, a sensible child.
Just come back, you alone..., where can I feel comfortable at home outside? I dare not say anything else. It is okay to have enough food.
What's more, your grandparents, your eldest uncle, your second uncle, and your brothers all earn a lot, and they are enough to feed you. "
Thinking of the Qin family's old son Qin Min, Mrs. Li frowned slightly and looked at Qin Xiaoxiao with sympathy.
Qin Xiaoxiao pretended not to see Mrs. Li's expression and said with a smile: "Grandma Li is right, that's what I thought, so I decided to come home.
Grandma Li, I came here this time to ask Uncle Li to make me a wooden box. I have too many things and the kangqin my grandma made for me cannot fit in it. "
Old Mrs. Li slapped her thigh, "I told you when your grandma was making the kangqin, girl, there are many things, I'm afraid there won't be enough. Your grandma also said, if you can't fit it in, I'll play again. Anyway, they're from the same village, so they're close." .
Come on in, your uncle has packed a lot of wooden boxes, pick one quickly, otherwise you won't be able to pick one when other educated youths come. "
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded and followed Mrs. Li into the house. The Li family's yard is a typical northeastern farmyard. The front of the yard is not big, but the backyard is spacious, where you can grow some vegetables and so on. There is also private land outside the yard not far from home. , all belong to the Li family.
The courtyard has three main rooms and four side rooms. The Li family also lives together, so these houses are not enough for living. Qin Xiaoxiao saw that there is wasteland next to the Li family, so I am afraid that there is room for building a house.
Mrs. Li took Qin Xiaoxiao to the utility room in the backyard. There were a lot of sawdust piled up outside the house. It would be quick to use these sawdust to start a fire in winter.
Mrs. Li opened the door with the key, asked Qin Xiaoxiao to follow her in, pulled her to the corner, pointed to a large wooden box and said softly: "Take this, this wood is the best, your uncle can't bear to part with it, it's carefully beaten, it's the material It’s a little short, so I only got this one wooden box and two wooden basins. You’d better take these two basins away too, they’ll be used in the future.”
Of course Qin Xiaoxiao took them all away. The wooden basin can be used for washing face and feet or placed in the kitchen. It can be used everywhere in life.
After paying five yuan, Mrs. Li asked Qin Xiaoxiao to go back first, "When your uncle comes back from work later, I will ask him and my eldest grandson to deliver it to you. This thing is too heavy for you to move." "
Mrs. Li looked at Qin's small arms and legs and sighed.
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble my uncle."
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't go back to the educated youth center, but went directly to Qin's house, standing at the door and calling "grandma".
Mrs. Qin didn't go to work today. She went through the house to see if she could get another pair of cotton-padded clothes and trousers for Qin Xiaoxiao. The winter in the Northeast is too cold. It's no joke to wear too little. Then It's going to cost people lives.
The granddaughter has a thick quilt, and Qin Ye can tell me about this thick cotton coat, but I haven't seen it. She has to make two of them before winter comes.
When Mrs. Qin heard Qin Xiaoxiao calling her, she hurried out of the house, "What's wrong? What are you shouting for? Have you eaten in the morning? I'll boil two eggs for you."
Qin Xiaoxiao opened the door and waved his hand as he walked, "No, the vegetarian buns I had in the morning were the leftovers from yesterday. If I eat them again, my stomach will burst."
Mrs. Qin smiled and nodded Qin Xiao's forehead, "You have such a small body, so don't eat too much, otherwise when will you be able to make up for it?"
Qin Xiaoxiao took Old Mrs. Qin into the house, "Mistress, are there any straw mats at home? I want to get another one, preferably a bigger one. I want to hang it between the inner room and the outer room to block the smoke and dust.
In addition, I want to get two more pairs of straw sandals to wear at work. "
After hearing this, Mrs. Qin immediately put a serious face on her face and said, "What kind of job are you doing? What can you do? Be good, we won't go. The work in the fields is tiring. Just let your brothers go."
Qin Xiaoxiao was slightly embarrassed.
"No, I came to the countryside to support national construction. If I don't work, will my uncle be criticized later?
Nanny, I have to work in the fields to earn work points. I can't make trouble for my uncle. Besides, it's been agreed that I will earn work points to support you and your uncle in the future. "
Qin Xiaoxiao hugged Old Mrs. Qin's arm and acted coquettishly, shaking Old Mrs. Qin's head until she felt dizzy.
Although her granddaughter's words were nice and her heart was filled with joy after hearing them, Mrs. Qin still stood her ground and did not say anything.
“Okay, okay, don’t shake it, you won’t let it go anymore.
Not only you are tired from working in the fields, but you are also exposed to the sun. Your skin is so fair and tender, how can you deal with getting tanned? The tan is still good, but if I get a sunburn, how much will it cost to heal it?
Your brother is thick-skinned and not afraid of the sun. When your uncle gives you a job, let your brother do it. Then the work points will be credited to you. If it is not enough, then his share will be credited to you as well. "
Well, this is a good idea. Why didn't she think of it before?
Anyway, my family has money, so I can give it to my granddaughter. It will make her look good, and I will be able to get more food at the end of the year. I can praise her even more when I take it home, and she will definitely be happy by then.
Old Mrs. Qin made a decision quickly, and sold Qin Ye so rudely without even saying hello to her family.
The corners of Qin Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched and he observed three seconds of silence for Qin Ye.
She was exhausted after a day's work, and she didn't get a single work point. Her brother was so pitiful!
Old Mrs. Qin didn't make sense here, so Qin Xiaoxiao decided to wait until she went to work tomorrow. Anyway, her mother couldn't always follow her, so she would just not let her brother help her then.
Qin Xiaoxiao returned to the educated youth center empty-handed, but Mrs. Qin wouldn't let her do it at all. She said she would give it to her when Qin Ye came back.
She was confused, how much could one straw mat and two pairs of straw sandals weigh? As for being afraid that she will be tired?
Okay, this is her grandma's love for her, and as a filial granddaughter, she can only accept it.
When work was about to end at noon, Uncle Li brought her a wooden box and a wooden basin, which she had picked before. Before leaving, Uncle Li whispered: "Do you have enough bowls and chopsticks at home? If not, I will make two more for you." Come out with a bowl, don’t worry, it’s free of charge.”
Qin Xiaoxiao received Uncle Li's kindness and quickly smiled and said: "No, I have all the dishes and chopsticks at home. It is enough. But Uncle Li, I would like to ask, are there any small benches at home? Are there foldable ones?" That kind? The kind that’s easy to carry?”
Uncle Li thought for a while, "I have a small bench at home, but I don't really have one that is easy to carry. What should I do with that?"
Qin Xiaoxiao quickly went back to the house to get pen and paper, drew a sketch for Uncle Li on the spot, and then explained clearly what the folding stool looked like.
Uncle Li took the sketch and left. Qin Xiaoxiao quickly went back to the house, wiped the inside and outside of the wooden box, packed it up and put it on the kangqin.
Put the food into a part of the wooden box, put dry goods on one side, canned malted milk and two packages of pastries on the other side, and put the rest into the space to prevent it from spoiling after a long time.
