Unsurprisingly, Qin Xiaoxiao was beaten again. This time Qin Aiguo did not take action, and Mrs. Qin did it herself.
After all, Mrs. Qin was old and had little strength, so the blows on her body didn't hurt much, but Qin Xiaoxiao still ran and cried and admitted her mistake, making quite a fuss.
When the neighbors came to ask questions, Mrs. Qin put on another face.
Old Mrs. Qin said with a smile: "It's okay. The child is old and the idea is right. I have done this a few times. Every time I go to the city to receive subsidies, I buy things at home. For example, I have six cans of malted milk at home. , her father and I couldn't finish the drink.
I still have mung bean cakes, red bean cakes, and oil and salt cakes in the cabinet that I haven’t eaten yet. She bought reed fruit again today. When will they be finished?
Look at my pair of shoes. I am a new member of the supply and marketing cooperative. She bought them for me on the first day. Her father and I each have a pair. This is not over yet. I still want to buy them today.
Tell me, is this child too spendthrift? He only needs to wear something if he can afford it. Why buy so much? It’s a waste! "
After hearing this, the neighbors around wanted to spit out blood.
Damn, we came here with good intentions to break up the fight, but you showed us this?
She is also a prodigal. We also want to have such a prodigal granddaughter. Just give it to us!
Show off, show off nakedly.
She is the only one who has a granddaughter, right? Just her granddaughter being filial, right?
Yes, that’s right, someone else’s granddaughter is filial, but her own children can’t compare to her, they can’t compare to you!
After enduring their anger and listening to Mrs. Qin's boastful words, the neighbors turned around and left.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Mrs. Qin smiled ferociously at Qin Xiaoxiao and said, "Come on, let's continue."
Qin Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.
Hasn't this level been passed? Why are you still carrying it?
Qin Xiaoxiao wanted to cry but had no tears, so he gritted his teeth and ran away.
You can't run too fast. My grandma's little feet won't be able to catch up if she doesn't run fast. No matter how fast she is, no one will be able to see her. The old lady won't get sick from anger by then!
Not only can't she run too fast, but she also has to get hit with a stick from the old lady from time to time, otherwise her father's gaze will make her go in with a white knife and come out with a red knife.
After walking around the yard for more than ten minutes, Mrs. Qin leaned on her knees tiredly and stared at Qin Xiaoxiao while panting.
"You little bastard, get over here."
Qin Xiaoxiao calmly approached Old Mrs. Qin, closed her eyes and asked Old Mrs. Qin to cut a stick again. Only then did Old Mrs. Qin finally get out of her anger.
"It's also for your own good, Nai, so don't go there. If something happens, will you let Nai survive?
You don’t know, in the past few years, all those who got into trouble in the black market have been sent to the northwest to open up wasteland. Can you bear the hardship? "
This master who can knock himself down just by pulling weeds, old lady, I will have to collect your body in less than five days after arriving in the Northwest.
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded obediently, "I don't want to go now."
Anyway, the market will be open in less than two years. If there is nothing she wants to buy, she can wait for another two years.
Seeing that Qin Xiaoxiao listened, Mrs. Qin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he was beaten, Qin Xiaoxiao started making the cotton-padded clothes that he had been thinking about. Ma Dahua and Mrs. Qin worked together, one with cotton wool, and the other with the lining and outer cover. They made Qin Xiaoxiao's cotton-padded clothes and trousers in two days.
Putting on the new cotton-padded clothes, Qin Xiaoxiao felt that his whole temperament had improved a lot and his whole person had been sublimated.
Because it may be the last cotton-padded coat made by a newbie in the old lady's life, Qin Xiaoxiao cherishes it very much. She also wears a single coat outside. If the outer clothes are dirty, just take them off and wash them. The cotton-padded coat can be worn for several more years.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't want to wear it for several years. She just wanted to survive the past two years. When she got to the 1980s, she tried to find a way to make down jackets. If she didn't sell them, wouldn't she want to wear them herself?
A sweater inside and a down jacket outside are enough for winter.
After two days of wandering around the village wearing new cotton-padded clothes, Qin Xiaoxiao was frozen and huddled on the hot kang, unable to move.
In December, the Northeast has entered a severe winter. It has been cloudy for the past two days. Qin Feng thought that it would snow in two or three days, and hurriedly rang the bell to start work.
"Before the heavy snow closed the mountain, we had to go up the mountain every year, and this year was no exception. The village decided to organize people to go to Mao'er Mountain.
In addition, those who are staying at home should not be idle. Check the roofs of each house. If they don't look good, clean them up before it snows, so that they don't collapse under the weight of the snow and hit people.
Don't risk your life just to save a few bucks. Think about it, if something happens, your life may be in danger. Even if it doesn't kill you, why don't you go to the hospital?
How much does it cost to go to the hospital and how much does it cost to clean up the roof? Don't be too big or too small, you may regret it later.
Okay, let's do this for today. Everyone goes back and prepares. We will go up to the mountain tomorrow. We tentatively plan to stay in the mountain overnight. If the harvest is good, we can come down in the middle of the night.
Come on, come back. "
After Qin Feng finished speaking, the villagers were talking about going up the mountain as they walked home. Some were excited, some were sad, and some were jealous. Qin Feng saw all this but didn't say anything. He thought I can't help, so I can only take care of my own family first.
Qin Feng didn't wait for Qin Xiaoxiao to mention it and interrupted her first, "Don't even think about it, I won't agree. Just stay at home. You can bring some clothes over tomorrow and stay at home. Where? You’re not allowed to go either.”
Qin Xiaoxiao: "..."
I didn’t say anything, so you just blocked me?
Okay, following up the mountain is a waste.
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Qin Ye resentfully.
Qin Ye waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't look at me. My dad and I have the same idea. Just stay at home and I will catch two rabbits for you to play with."
Qin Feng glared at Qin Ye, but did not stop him.
Although the commune did not allow him to raise her, he could only turn a blind eye so that his niece could stay at home.
What's more, which family doesn't keep two more chickens privately, these two are the best.
Qin Xiaoxiao was speechless.
What about me as a child?
Okay, I won’t go if I’m not allowed to go. Although I feel unwilling to do so, it’s not that I have to go, and it’s not an obsession. At worst, can’t she spend money to buy it?
The Qin family had repeatedly asked to go to Mao'er Mountain to gain knowledge, but the Qin family gave up. From then on, Qin Xiaoxiao never mentioned going up to the mountain again, and he had never been there even once.
Early the next morning, Qin Xiaoxiao arrived at Qin's house obediently. Qin Feng finally felt relieved when he saw her sitting obediently next to Mrs. Qin while eating.
Qin Feng is the captain, so he must go up the mountain with him. Qin Ye is good at skills and is the son of the captain, so he cannot be left behind. This is not over yet. Before the team leaves, Qin Wei, who has not been home for two months, comes back. , and joined the hunting team.
Old Mrs. Qin looked at the retreating team, with worry written on her face. She reached back and took Ma Dahua, and patted the back of her hand comfortingly.
"Don't worry, with Qin Ye and Qin Wei here, the boss will be fine. There are so many people here."
Ma Dahua smiled, "Mom, I know, don't worry, with Qin Ye and Qin Wei, nothing will happen."
