Chapter 65 Shun
Sister Qi Ying announced the good news. Qi Ying went to ask Qian. After getting the exact answer, she discussed with Qian that she wanted to go up the mountain with her sisters.
Qian knew her daughter's heart best. In the past, the family conditions were indeed unsatisfactory, but now that the family has improved a little, she doesn't want to restrict the idea of a Qi sister to save some private houses.
After Qian agreed, Qi Ying was very happy and turned around and discussed with her sisters. They lived in Qijia Village, so they naturally understood what was on the mountain at this time.
After the New Year, there was not much work for the Qi family. After Qi Ying's sisters finished the family's affairs, they were very active in running up the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, they could see the snow on the mountain. They walked up for a while and heard the shouting of people from the village at the foot of the mountain. Everyone walked towards the bamboo forest with purpose. When they arrived at the first bamboo forest, there was already a pioneer, so their sisters had no choice but to change places quickly.
At noon, the Qi sisters walked down the mountain with bamboo shoots on their backs, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces. Sister Qian looked at the smiles on their faces and couldn't help laughing.
In the afternoon, it was windy and it started to rain heavily. The Qi sisters stood under the eaves, looking at the mountain with a longing expression on their faces, and agreed to wait for something to get up early in the next day.
Zhou and Qian looked at each other, Cheng was concerned about the life in the field, and Yun was thinking about the affairs of his two daughters. Everyone had their own thoughts, but at this moment, he rarely forgot about the affairs of scholars at home.
After the New Year, Du entered the city. She and Qi Qiran and his wife went into the city together. There were also some things to do in the yard of the city. Qi Weishan wanted to let his third son and his wife stay in the city for a few days so that they could gain more knowledge.
The next day, the rain did not stop, and the fine rain drifted down, which was very upset. Qi Ying and Qi Shan said that they still liked the heavy rain. The sound of the rain hitting the roof made people feel particularly wonderful.
Qi Shan was happy with this kind of light rain. After having breakfast in the sisters' big yard, they knew that nothing happened this day, they returned to their own yard. Qi Shan pulled Qi Ying and whispered: "Sister, let's go up the mountain."
Qi Ying looked around and whispered: "Do we want to explain?"
"Let's go to the squatter and talk to my father." Sun Sanhua was too fussy when things happened. Qi Shan didn't want to talk to her about this. The two sisters went to the squatter and happened to meet Qi Weisi who was out of the squatter and told him about going up the mountain.
Qi Weisi looked at the baskets that their sisters carried, then reached out to pick up the raindrops and said, "Go back early."
Sister Qi Ying went up the mountain happily. When Qi Ying was digging the first bamboo shoot, she smiled and said, "I thought my father would only look at us, but he even told us to go back early."
Qi Shan put all his heart on digging bamboo shoots. When Qi Ying spoke, she didn't listen carefully, and directly answered with two "humph" sounds.
It was raining and there was no one on the mountain. Qi Ying became a little sentimental and looked at Qi Shan’s heartless look: “Shanshan, are you not worried about what will happen in the future at all?”
When she said it for the first time, Qi Shan didn't hear it clearly, but just responded to her randomly. She said it again. This time Qi Shan heard her clearly, she turned to look at Qi Ying and said, "Sister, I'm worried, so I want to learn some skills from my brothers."
Qi Ying remembered that Qi Shan wanted to learn carpenter work, and then she thought of her reading and writing seriously, and sighed: "Shanshan, let's learn some practical things, needlework and cooking skills. The last time I went to the city, I realized that it would cost a lot of money to buy a weaving machine."
Qi Shan understood Qi Ying's words, and she always wanted to learn weaving, but reality told her that no one at home or the people she knew knew this skill. In addition, the preciousness of the loom makes it impossible for them to have the opportunity to explore and study by themselves.
Qi Shan looked at Qi Ying's expression and dug out the pointed bamboo shoots in front of him, saying, "Sister, there is no hurry. Let's dig more bamboo shoots. We can't eat so much at home. After drying, we can sell them to people in the city."
Qi Ying reached out and applied a handful of raindrops floating to his eyes: "In such weather, the rain will continue to rain. We don't have the sun to bask in bamboo shoots, so we can only soak them at home to eat."
Qi Shan smiled: "Sister, we can dry the excess bamboo shoots by the fire without affecting the taste of the bamboo shoots."
The two sisters dug up bamboo shoots again with a "hum" and it was raining. On the rainy day, the soil on the mountain became softer, and it was easier to dig bamboo shoots. Moreover, things like bamboo shoots will grow into bamboo poles after the season.
When their sisters went down the mountain, it was getting heavier. They sent their backpacks to the large yard. They wanted to go back and change their dirty shoes, so they caught Qian's bowl of spicy soup. The spicy food was sweating all over. The two hurried back to change their shoes.
Sister Qi Ying wiped her hair and changed her shoes. Then she returned to the big yard. Qian grabbed them and sat by the fire again and said directly: "In such weather, you don't have to hurry up the mountain. Your father doesn't stop you sisters."
Qi Shan smiled and said, "Auntie, my sister and I wore a straw raincoat and a straw hat. Just now we went back, we wiped our hair with a veil and changed our shoes, and we were not wet at all."
Qian looked at the expressions on their sisters and looked at the raindrops outside. She could stop them for a day, but she still expressed her attitude to the Qi sisters. She opposed their sisters going up the mountain in such weather.
The Qi Ying sisters all looked at Qi Shan, and she quickly shook her hand: "I listen to my aunt, what do I want to do? I will say something to my aunt first."
Qian heard what Qi Shan said. There was only Qi Shan, a powerful person in his family, who had climbed the mountain. She was young now and could only protect one person at most, so she was serious and did not speak, and the Qi sisters dared not talk anymore.
Qian found an opportunity to tell his sister Qi Ying that if Qi Qige had something to do in the city tomorrow, they would bring the bamboo shoots they dug into the city and sell them. The money they sold would be collected by their sisters themselves, and they didn't have to tell them about it.
Sister Qi Ying understood what Qian said. The two of them heard the sound of rain and said in unison: "Auntie, on rainy days, we will leave the bamboo shoots we dug from home to eat, and don't have to send them to the city to sell."
Qian looked at the expressions on their sisters and felt much softer. He smiled and said, "There are still some bamboo shoots left at home. You can sell them first. Next time, the bamboo shoots you dig will be left to eat from home."
After looking at each other, the two said, "When we listen to our aunt, our elder brother sold the copper coins of bamboo shoots and gave them to our elder aunt. Save more, so we can buy pens for Uncle Qi and our elder brothers."
When they were on the mountain, they were hoping for such a private money, but when they really wanted to have it, they felt guilty. Before they could get the bronze, the sisters felt hot.
