Chapter Thirteen Envy

Before the Chinese New Year, most families in Qijia Village became busy again, and there were many more figures on the mountain. Sister Qi Shan helped in the yard and was also too busy to stop.

It was dawn, and their sisters wanted to get up early to clean the flower plate. When it was dark, they wanted to follow the arrangements of their elders to plant flowers and trees.

The school is already on holiday, and the men of the Qi family are taking care of the flowers and small trees. At night, they have to take turns to go to the yard to watch the fire.

After the sky was bright, there was movement everywhere in Qijia Village. The men at home did not have to take advantage of the sunset to transport flowers and plants, but carried the flower plates directly to the entrance of the village.

Every day, Zeng Zhaodi stayed at the entrance of the village. When individual tourists came into the village, she greeted her and introduced her own flowers and trees. In this way, she also traded several orders. The eldest son of the Zeng family and Tong Juanzi thought that her fourth daughter was indeed smart.

Qi Weishan and his son had seen Zeng Zhaodi's behavior, so they went home and greeted him directly. There were many people outside the village these days, so Qi Shan's sisters didn't leave the yard easily.

Before the Chinese New Year, the pig farmer killed New Year pigs, and Qi Peiji's house also arranged the day to kill New Year pigs. Their family raised five pigs this year. Qi Peiji's intention was to buy them all. Except for the favors that should be given away, they were all left for their families to eat.

When the Qi Shan sisters heard this great news, everyone was happy. What they most hoped for during this year was to eat pig-killing vegetables, and everyone could eat them with ease.

In recent days, during lunch, Qi Peiji and his son have been eating outside, and they always return home with a happy expression on their faces.

Qi Weisi was also happier than usual on such days. When he saw his children, he asked a few words of concern.

Qi Ying and Qi Shan whispered: "At the beginning of the year, Daddy has only been happy for these few days. After these few days, Daddy is unhappy again."

As expected, eating other people’s things is a happy thing, and they no longer hide their joy in front of others.

These days, Qi Qiliang took his three younger brothers to sleep directly in the yard. Qi Wei was in charge of the younger generation, and almost no one around the house had to worry about this.

After the Qi Shan sisters cleared the flower plates, they didn't have to go to the yard to help, and went back to the courtyard to help the elders at home to do the home affairs.

Qi Shan took over the matter of firewood directly. The more time it was like this, the more firewood was spent at home. Qi Shan was in charge of firewood, and the people who happened to be free went directly to Qi Qige to buy things for the New Year.

When Zhou came to the backyard, he saw Qi Shan tidying up the backyard, and he couldn't help but advise his granddaughter: "Shanshan, it's a good thing for you to be diligent, but you can't keep doing things. If you look for opportunities, you have to take a rest."

Qi Shan felt that she was very lucky. She went around the kitchen and ate the cake given by her aunt. Then she came to the backyard. She just picked up the broom and saw it for her grandmother.

Qi Shan told Zhou the truth that those who are grandmothers still think that their granddaughter is a honest person. The fourth child she gave birth to was the clumsy one among her children, that is, they were fathers, and he could only be honest fathers.

Zhou was busy with her granddaughter in the backyard. Qi Shan didn't dare to let her grandmother do more. The backyard was empty and she could withstand the cold wind, but Zhou's body was not that good.

Qi Shan quickly took the excuse of hearing his younger siblings calling for his grandmother as an excuse, and accompanied Zhou to the front yard. Along the way, she and Zhou promised that they would save their energy and would never be too labor-intensive.

After Zhou entered the room, Qi Shan stood in the front yard and happened to see Sun Sanhua. She waved to her daughter. After Qi Shan approached, she whispered: "You don't want to do things in the back yard, and go to the kitchen to do things tomorrow."

Qi Shan thought that the big kitchen was already crowded, and if she got involved, she would be rushing to do things with her sisters. She quickly shook her head and explained: "Mom, grandmother went to the backyard to see me. I just sent my grandmother back."

After Qi Shan finished speaking, she hurried to the backyard. She now understood what her mother thought, that is, their parents were not good, and their brothers and sisters must fight for a sigh of relief.

Qi Shan walked to the backyard, and Sun Sanhua breathed a sigh of relief. She went into the kitchen. Qian immediately arranged for her to wash vegetables. There were many people and many things in the family. The Qi sisters could help with some things, but Qian was still used to arranging her sisters to do things.

Qi Weishan and his son bought cheap and practical fabrics from the city and made new clothes for the family. Qian re-arranged the family. His younger sister-in-law Du had a good needlework, so she took Qi Zhu sisters to measure and tailor her clothes for the family.

After Qian and Du discussed, girls over ten years old at home learned needlework with Du these days.

After Qi Shan carefully sorted out the things in the backyard, she went to learn needlework with her aunt with peace of mind. When Zhou handed her the old piece of cloth and needlework, she looked full of relief.

Du taught her nieces very seriously to do needlework. She understood in her heart, and thanks to her brothers and sisters-in-law above, she could be able to study at her husband's age.

The Qi Shan sisters studied hard. After Du taught her younger nieces to use needles, she focused on her older nieces. Her mother-in-law and sister-in-law both explained that the three older nieces didn’t have much time at their parents’ home.

The three Qi Zhu sisters cherished such opportunities, but when they faced their younger sisters, they were a little embarrassed and could only teach their sisters privately and actively teach them to do needlework.

They were so sensible. After seeing them, Du Shi treated the three of them more attentively. She said to Qi Weishou in private: "Our family has a good family tradition and all the nieces are sensible, but I don't have much to teach them."

Qi Weishou is a wise man. He knows that his wife is willing to give such a contribution for him and for the harmonious family.

He had a heart-to-heart talk with Du: "Madam, you have done your best. Everyone in the family understands that there is no ungrateful wolf in our family."

Qi Shan wanted to learn how to tailor her clothes the most. When Du taught her sisters, she came aside and listened carefully. However, her current age and the people in her family would not allow her to make clothes. Even if she was a veil, the elders would not feel at ease.

Qi Shan used to think that being young was a good thing, and she could ask her brothers for advice on her skills, but now she understands that sometimes when she is young, she is destined to be in the family, thinking that you are still unaware of it and that her family can’t believe that you can do things well.
