The next day, Zhou Cheng went out early in the morning, and tossed Pei Xiu hard again before leaving. Pei Xiu can't blame him for not being able to bear it. And it will take several days to go, so I have to eat before I go out.
Pei Xiu endured her drowsiness and stood up on her waist to make breakfast for several children, feeding the older ones and the younger ones.
She made clothes and quilts for half a month in a row. Pei Xiu asked her sister-in-law to go back for a few days, and she also put some rags on her sister-in-law to bring back, so that she could work at home first, and then she had only the winter padded jacket. of.
Zhou Cheng was not at home, and Pei Xiu didn't go anywhere. It rained a few times, one autumn rain and one cold, and the winter in the north was very cold. There are still vegetables growing in the house. Pei Xiu burned the kang early and didn't feel cold, but the cotton-padded clothes had to be done quickly, otherwise the children would have to be frozen while playing wildly outside all day.
In the afternoon, the children came back to dodge, and Zhou Shan's clothes were broken and his face was blue. The hair was messy, and the others were not much better, all covered in mud.
''What are you guys doing, have you rolled around in the mud pond? '' Pei Xiu raised her eyebrows and asked, if a hammer or wood slashed the newly made clothes, Pei Xiu would have to take a bamboo stick, but today Zhou Shan's clothes were damaged, and his face was still painted. Since this child came to this house, he has always been obedient and obedient, and will not fight with people for no reason.
Hammer said angrily, ''Mother, there's just a kid in the village today, it's too bad, we are playing a game of war, he ran over and grabbed Zhou Shan's wooden knife, if he didn't give it, he would beat others, and he had to talk to Zhou Shan. Pick, why, this is what my father rewarded us, and there is no wood or bench yet. ''
Mu Tou also said, ''Yeah, mother, he still beats Zhou Shan. We are fighting, and he still beats us. Other friends in the village are afraid of him, not even the elder brother. Press and fight, big brother is amazing. Never lost a fight. ''
Hammer held his head up, scratched his nose with his thumb and snorted, ''Let me meet again next time...:'
Before he could finish speaking, Pei Xiu patted the back of his head, '' The fight was justified, but I had to twitch. I haven't fought for a long time, and my skin has loosened. Do I want to tighten it up for you today? ''
''Mother, didn't you stop beating people, why did you take bamboo sticks again? It was that kid who was wrong and bullied Zhou Shan, so I singled him out. This is a fair duel, not a fight. ''
''A fair duel? Have you been too full lately? If your father is not at home, you will go to heaven. After learning a few tricks from your father, you will become the king of children. If you don't get up in the morning to do morning exercises, when your father comes back, I will let him train you well. ''
''Mother, don't be so cruel. Obviously he was wrong. ''
''How old is he, who's child, are you bullying the younger? ''
''No, he is about as tall as me, not as strong as me. New here, don't know what it's called. They said it belonged to Master Zhou's family. Is there such a person in the village? '' The hammer touched the back of his head, and then he remembered, and he didn't even ask his name for the fight.
Pei Xiu raised her eyebrows in surprise. Master Zhou had already returned, so this was an opportunity to come to the door. I don't know if the village chief has come to ask about the school.
''Tomorrow I will apologize to the Master's family last week. What have you done to them? ''
''It must be worse than Zhou Shan, who made him not admit defeat. ''
''It's his fault that he grabbed Zhou Shan's wooden knife, and it's his fault that he beat people first, but after all, he just came to our village, shouldn't we love and help each other. You beat him now, shouldn't we come and visit? ''
''Alright then, mother, take me to his house tomorrow. ''
''Auntie, it's because of me, I'm going too. '' Zhou Shan stood up and said.
Several children are also clamoring to go, ''Okay, everyone who wants to go will go together. But be good and be obedient. ''
The chickens at home can lay enough eggs for a few children every day. Tomorrow, the master's family has to prepare a basket of eggs. Pei Xiu planned to go to Brother Zhou Cheng's house to change it. There were a lot of rags at home, so he took a few large pieces to exchange.
Brother Zhou Cheng's little girl can embroider, and can embroider a handkerchief or a purse for her, and take it to the store to sell it for a few dollars. , sits and embroiders every day. His eldest brother's family is also well-off, and he ranks first in the village.
Pei Xiu picked up a few pieces of satin fabric. It was useless to her. It was a treasure for her niece. The fabric used only by rich and noble families is also valuable when made into a handkerchief purse.
Went to my eldest brother's house, the whole family was having dinner. Sister-in-law is a person who is willing to be kind to her family. She cooks all the food, oil and water. This is the reason why she doesn't look down on her original body, so she seldom contacts. But no matter how you look at it, you still have to do enough. When you see Pei Xiu's sister-in-law, she greets her for dinner.
Pei Xiu refused, so why not feel at ease, ''I have eaten, you eat, I came here to ask my sister-in-law to exchange some eggs. ''
Sister-in-law took Pei Xiu to the kitchen, ''How do I change it? ''
Pei Xiu gave the big rags she brought to her sister-in-law, and she took it in surprise, and looked at it repeatedly, Pei Xiu said, ''I just got a few pieces of rags, I know that Erya embroidery is very good, this is in Erya. You can turn waste into treasure in your hands, so I deliberately exchanged this with you. ''
''The third brother and sister have a heart, and I won't let you suffer. I just saved 30 eggs, and I will give them all to you. '' Sister-in-law liked the cloth head that Pei Xiu brought, and knew that this embroidery was valuable, and was satisfied with Pei Xiu's praise. Erya is her heart and soul, no one can compare.
Pei Xiu was also satisfied with the exchange, so she said hello and went back first.
I have ten eggs left. When it's cold, chickens don't like to lay eggs anymore. Recently, two or three eggs are fried in a bowl and eaten together, or mixed with water. On average, they are poured into four bowls and steamed. The nutrition is not as good as one boiled egg per person, and these ten are just kept for a few children.
