It's been ten days since Zhou Cheng left, and he doesn't know when he will come back. Pei Xiu misses him a little.
Recently, the weather is getting colder and colder. The cotton-padded clothes and quilts have been prepared. Several children have put on cotton-padded clothes, so they are not afraid of the cold. She gave a piece of the leftover fabric to her sister-in-law and asked her to make clothes too.
''You can keep it for yourself. There are so many children who are still growing, so they can be used later. '' The sister-in-law pushed and refused, why is this little sister-in-law's hand so loose?
''Sister-in-law, don't push it, Pei Qing is fifteen years old, and she is about to say kiss. If you don't do it yourself, make her a suit. Which little girl doesn't like to be pretty. '' Pei Xiu directly wrapped the cloth and put it in the basket, she was the most impatient to push it around like this.
The sister-in-law saw how determined the sister-in-law was, so she accepted it. When would she send some eggs over? She came every day recently, but she saw that the sister-in-law boiled eggs every day, and the chickens ate all the eggs laid every day without saving. . Eggs from the countryside are a good thing, and they can be exchanged for money. No one is willing to eat them. It is a decent gift to take away. How can I boil the eggs that my sister-in-law lays every day, it's a waste of money.
''Xiu'er, what are you growing in the wooden boxes in your house? I haven't seen it for so many days, but it can germinate even in such a cold day, and the little buds look good. . '' Sister-in-law was a little curious, and she had been holding it back for many days. After finishing the work at hand, her curiosity could not calm down.
''Newly obtained seeds, it's so cold outside now, so I put them on the kang in the house and set them on fire. I don't know if they can work, so I'll try. I planted leeks, small greens, and spinach in the baby's house. Not to mention, they are growing very well. I have already cut a bunch of leeks. '' Pei Xiu knew that she couldn't hide it from her sister-in-law. Now that it is growing so well, if it is really planted, it will be planted for her family first.
''It's almost winter, can you still harvest it? I gonna go see. '' Sister-in-law was a little surprised, Pei Xiu didn't know what seeds were in the house, and whether she could survive or not had little to do with her. But if this dish can be grown in the house, she can learn it too, right? This way there are vegetables to eat in winter. Not every day cabbage radish.
Sister-in-law looked at it, and it can really be planted in the house, and the leeks have grown quite tall, and it is gratifying to look at the water. Can a wooden box be planted? ''
''Okay, but sister-in-law, you have to secretly grow the crops. You can't tell others. If the food in the house is too much, we can sell it in the town. '' No one else can tell, even if my parents can help me, my eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law are diligent people.
''Can you still use the town to sell it? '' Sister-in-law's mind is a little bit lost. In her opinion, how much is the vegetable worth? No one in the countryside grows a lot of vegetables in the yard.
''Of course it's ok. Where can people in the city have a place to grow vegetables? Don't they buy all the vegetables they eat, and it's still winter, where can there be green vegetables in the fields? We sell this dish to restaurants, to big families, and the price can be higher than usual. ''
Sister-in-law's eyes lit up when she heard it. What my sister-in-law said was very reasonable. Isn't that the truth? Who can have green vegetables in winter, not all radishes and pickles. '' I kept nodding, I didn't say anything, I planted it secretly in the house, so that your brother was not allowed to talk outside. ''
Pei Xiu saw that sister-in-law could not wait to go home and plant it immediately, and said: ''Sister-in-law should put the wooden box in the room where the sun shines in, so that with the window open, you can get the sun every day and grow fast. ''
''I know, I'll go back first. '' Seeing that my sister-in-law was walking happily, she was full of energy, and Pei Xiu laughed.
I went back to the house to observe their growth, and I paid close attention every day to remember that she had never planted vegetables, only flowers, and she didn't know what was going on. , she wanted to take notes.
She also explained to several children that they couldn't speak out, they couldn't touch them, or they wouldn't have to eat.
Pei Xiu thought about how many children are so old, UU reading www.uukanshu. It's not okay to call com by a nickname every day, wait for Zhou Cheng to come back and let him take a big name, otherwise Zhou Shan has a name, and the three of them still call their nicknames every day. Just a name.
''Mother, we caught a lot of shrimp again. '' After eating the fried shrimp wrapped in flour, several children would like to grab it every day and let Pei Xiu make it again.
How can I do it every day? It's good to fry it once in a while, but she doesn't object to them catching shrimp. The village is in the lower reaches of the river, not deep, so children are not afraid to play, and the children are full of energy every day. Play will stealthily go to play, it is better to catch shrimp to add vegetables, but also to supplement calcium.
She also made it in different ways, boiled it, boiled noodle soup, and scrambled eggs with shrimp. The children love to eat it. Every day, she diligently catches insects to feed the chickens, or catches shrimps, because they do the work, and the final result can be eaten. into the stomach. More than happy to do it.
''Go to peel the shrimp and scramble eggs at night. '' Pei Xiu walked out of the house and ordered them to work. The children would only be sensible if they worked for the family. Her mother taught her this way, and she teaches her children the same way now.
A few of them responded with bright eyes. They have been eating well recently, and their nutrition has kept up, and they all look firm.
''Mom, when will Dad be back? '' The bench was beside Pei Xiu, and this kid likes to be next to Pei Xiu whenever he gets home.
''It should be soon. I went out for about ten days and a half months and came back. how? Miss your dad? Every day I run wild with my brothers, and I still have dreams. '' Pei Xiu made fun of him.
The bench coquettishly called her mother. Pei Xiu thought to herself how good it would be if she were a girl, how coquettish she was, how soft and cute she was, but they were all boys.
