Chapter 59, Dry Pine Needle

Zhenniang handed the basket on, "Sister-in-law, this is the mung bean cake made by my mother-in-law. Try it!"

"Thank you, Zhenniang, but..." Sister Heng sighed and pulled Zhenniang aside and said, "We are going to Xishan Village today. Hengyi and Han are engaged. Zhenniang, you didn't see it. The vixen is fascinated by Hengyi. Let's live at the vixen's house and help with the work."

“…”

Zhenniang felt a piercing pain in her heart.

The smile on his face was too late, "Sister-in-law, since Hengyi has been engaged to someone, don't talk to me about him in the future, so as not to cause trouble to him."

"Oh, we like you more, Zhenniang!" Sister Heng sighed.

He said again, "But don't be discouraged, Zhenniang, maybe there is another way to do this."

"Did Han's husband's family know that she had gotten engaged to someone?" said Zhenniang.

Sister Heng's eyes lit up instantly.

Yes, why did you forget the Sun family?

If the Sun family stands up and talks about Han’s water-like poplar flower, they will first get involved with Hengyi, and will ruin Han’s reputation.

There were many words, but I didn't believe that the two of them could still persist.

The Han family can still be together.

"What Zhenniang said is, I'll go and talk to my mother-in-law!"

Zhenniang smiled, "Then sister-in-law, I'll go back first."

"Okay, go slowly."

Sister Heng sent Zhen Niang away, immediately entered the main house, and told Mrs. Heng about this.

“This works.”

At that time, Old Lady Sun was harmed by Han Qiao, and she insisted on holding a grudge against Han Qiao in her heart.

With such a big handle, she didn't believe that the Sun family was not moved.

Old Mrs. Sun was not moved.

But this matter has to be discussed and no one can tell that it was done by their Heng family, so as not to make trouble with the family after Hengyi found out.

"Old man, what do you say?" asked Mrs. Heng.

Old Man Heng was silent for a while before saying, "It's feasible!"

While it was dark, Old Man Heng secretly went out to Sun Ji Grocery Store.

The Sun family also knew about Hengyi's marriage proposal and employment at the Han family today.

Old Mrs. Sun had been scolding for a day, and her throat was hoarse. Sun Yixi didn't say anything, but hated Han Qiao in her heart.

If she hadn't made a fuss, the Sun family's reputation would not have been ruined and the grocery store business would not have plummeted.

Now there is no business at all.

The newly opened grocery store is cheaper than Sun Ji, and many customers went there.

The more I think about it, the more I feel uncomfortable, and the more I think about it, the more I hate it.

When Old Man Heng came over, Sun Yixi hesitated for a moment and still saw him.

The two of them discussed in the room for a while before Old Man Heng left with satisfaction.

Sun Yixi looked at the back of the old man Heng and spat.

In fact, everyone knows that Heng Yi and Han Qiao would not have had an affair before.

But the most direct way to ruin the two people and unable to raise their heads in front of others.

August 3rd day, Xishan Village, Han Qiaojia

In the morning, Han Qiao got up and cooked breakfast, decocted the medicine for Hengyi, and changed the medicine for him.

Looking at the wound, Han Qiaoxin tightened.

"You will have a good rest after taking the medicine. I will take A Xiu and the others to dig some dry pine needles behind the mountain to get the fire."

"Put you water in a teapot, and you pour it yourself when you are thirsty."

Han Qiao explained to Hengyi in a gentle voice.

Hengyi nodded.

"I actually want to go with you too."

"The mountains are stuffy and hot. You can't sweat now. Stay at home and wait for your injury to heal. Take us into the mountains to see. Autumn is here, and there are many good things in the mountains." Han Qiao said, calling the third child to prepare to carry his carpet and take a bamboo rake out.

Hengyi is bored at home alone.

He has never had a good rest in these years.

I thought I couldn't sleep, but soon he fell asleep in a deep sleep.

Han Qiao and his daughter entered the back mountain and started to dig dry pine needles without stopping, putting them in their backs.

This thing is light and it is very fast to turn it on.

Sun Xiu, Sun Yi had never done such a job before, and she has practiced it with Han Qiao recently.

Children can endure hardships and are also resilient.

"Mom, are we still digging herbs?" Sun Xiu asked.

"I dug it, but I have to wait a little cooler. In the future, we will go into the mountains to scatter dry pine needles, chop firewood, and make purses at home in the afternoon. When those purses are ready to be sold, we will have a profit."

"When you sell your wallet, you will give you some money. You can save it yourself or buy what you like!"

The three sisters were happy when they heard this.

"Mom, can you buy anything?"

"certainly!"

On the way home with dry pine needles, Han Qiao looked at the Xishan Village surrounded by mountains and pursed her lips.

It was still early when they got home, so they went into the back mountain to dig again.

I came back and poured the corner of the woodshed, and the piles were piled up.

Han Qiao didn't expect that Hengyi had already carried the water tank full and was boiling water in the kitchen. The water in the pot was already bubbled, so I thought I would have been burning for a while.

"..." Han Qiao stood at the door.

"You are back, and I think you need hot water to wash when you come back, so I boiled the water."

"You have injuries on your body, and you don't need to do these things. It won't take much time for us to come back to boil water!"

Han Qiao reached out to support Hengyi, "Hurry back to the house and lie down. If your wound is healed slowly, it will not be worth the loss!"

After helping the person back into the house, Han Qiao asked Hengyi, "Is it good to make noodles for lunch?"

"good!"

Han Qiao turned around and returned to the kitchen.

The three children have been washed and changed into clean clothes.

"Axiu, scoop some flour and noodles, and we will have the noodles for lunch."

"good!"

Sun Xiu's face was neat and it was very good.

Han Qiao fetched water to wash her hair, took a shower, and changed into clean clothes.

Sun Yi immediately came over and took her to the stream to wash clothes.

"Mom, let's go catch fish again in the afternoon!"

"Okay, let's go and catch it in the afternoon. Let's fry more small fish, and if we don't, we will cook fish soup." Han Qiao said with a smile.

"Then make pumpkin steamed buns? Pumpkin steamed buns are delicious!" Sun Ke asked with his head tilted.

After raising it these days, the little girl has become much more courageous.

I know that I made a request.

"Cook it after lunch, and then cook some white rice porridge in the evening."

"Okay, OK,"

Han Qiao smiled.

There is still too little food to eat at home.

The mother and daughter divided the work and cooperated. Han Qiao fryed the egg skin, then fryed it into lard residue with bacon, and scooped it up with oil.

Put the pumpkin into slices and stir-fry, pour in boiling water and cook for a while, put the cut surface down, cook and sprinkle some chopped green onion and scoop it into a bowl, then pour bacon oil and lard residue, and the fragrant three children swallowed their saliva.

"Take it over and eat it."

Hengyi has a large appetite, while Han Qiao cooks more.

I ate all the noodle soup and I was over.

After lunch, I took a short break. When the weather was too hot, I cut the cloth pieces in the main hall.

"I told my mother and asked her to ask me if there are any puppies. Let's keep two dogs."

Sun Xiu, Sun Yi, and Sun Ke all looked at Han Qiao.

There is hope and joy in my eyes.

They want to keep a small animal so much.

Hengyi nodded, "It's good that you decide. If you like it, we can raise another cat."

"That's fine. If you keep a cat, you can catch mice." Han Qiao said.

There are many domestic rats and wild rats in the countryside, so raising a cat is still beneficial.
