Wang and He Xiner went to work in the fields for three days and finally broke all the corn. Her mother and her husband were no longer needed in the field. They wore straw hats and peeled corn under the sun, which was the outer layer of corn.
Peel it clean, the corn will be easily damaged.
The stripped corn is placed on a large straw mat to bask in the sun and can be harvested after it dries.
Fortunately, the Ye family has a large space, otherwise it would not be able to be exposed to the sun. There is no need to spend money on straw mats. They were just made last year and are enough. The entire front yard, backyard, east yard, and west yard of old Ye's house are all filled with corn.
After two more days of peeling, they were finally all peeled off, just waiting to be dried and put away.
The weather has been very good and it hasn't rained. It will probably be ready to be harvested in a few days.
Old Ye Touye also took back the corn stalks and dried them for use in the fire. Her mother and daughter were not needed for the time being, so they could finally take a breather.
Xiao Qian was still ordered to go to the fields with the old men. After a few days, his face became dark and shiny. If it weren't for the difference in clothes and hair, he would have thought he was an old man. This made He Xiner feel happy.
He Xiner's guess was not wrong. After the Wangs and Mrs. Wang had peeled all the corn, Lao Qian let the osmanthus leaves out. The osmanthus leaves that stayed in the house every day were very white, but there was no blood on their faces.
Her face is extremely pale, and her cold eyes... Oh, my God, I'm afraid things will get lively again in the future~
Both Lao Qian and her daughter stared at the mother and daughter of the first house with gloomy eyes. After finishing their work on corn, Wang and his wife had nothing to do.
In the afternoon, He Xiner was accompanying her mother in the west wing room. Wang opened the wardrobe by the kang with a smile. Although He Xiner was curious, she sat motionless. Wang lowered her head and took out a red dress from inside.
"This is the new dress your grandma made for my mother when she got married. After I paid homage to my cousin, I put it away and was reluctant to wear it. Now I'm wearing it for you. Seeing that it has grown again, I'm afraid I had so many clothes last year.
I can’t put it on either.”
So this is a wedding outfit?
Although it is red, it is not very exquisite. There is no phoenix or flowers embroidered on it. It is just a cotton short coat, not like a wedding dress at all. It is paired with a sky-blue waist-length undershirt, which is extremely ordinary.
Alas, poor people don't even have the conditions for a romantic wedding. Fengguanxiapei is only available to rich families.
Although the clothing material is not precious, it is also a souvenir of the parents' wedding. It is good to keep it in the future when the hair is gray, and take it out to look at it and recall the original time. It would be a waste to make it for her.
Pulling her mother's sleeves, He Xiner shook her head and waved her hands. Seeing her anxious look, Wang couldn't help but laugh, "It's useless to keep these clothes. My mother can't put them on for a long time. Besides, it's easy to leave them alone."
It's been eaten by insects. You couldn't wear it when you were small. Now that you have grown, you can just change it a little. When you grow taller tomorrow, you can leave it and wear it for another year."
It turned out that her mother had planned it a long time ago. He Xiner no longer stopped her and sat quietly watching her mother do needlework.
My mother's hands are so skillful. The stitches are so stitched that you can hardly see the stitches, as if they were made with a sewing machine.
The sun was shining brightly outside, and the house was warm and cozy. The couple was enjoying the quiet afternoon leisurely.
Due to the continuous busy autumn, He Xiner was too tired to go to her cousin's room in the lobby to learn how to read. Now that she was not busy, He Xiner went to Dongkuayuan again after dinner.
Hearing the knock on the door, Ye Xusheng, who was reading, quickly put down his book, walked to the door in two or three steps, opened the door, and said, "Come in quickly."
After closing the door, he turned around and asked, "Is it cold?"
I don't know if it was because he was used to it, but He Xiner didn't feel cold at all, so she shook her head.
Ye Xusheng pulled her to sit down at the table, took out a box from the cabinet under the table, and took out a few small porcelain bottles. He Xiner was curious as he watched him move without stopping.
"I bought this when I asked Uncle Zhang to go to town. I guess you can use up the facial oil last time and hand oil."
"You can take it back later and remember to use it. Your little hands are thick."
Hearing this, He Xiner stretched out her hand and looked at it carefully under the dim light. Not to mention, after working for the past few days, her hands were really thick. She grinned. Her cousin was really observant.
Picking up the teapot and pouring a cup of warm water for He Xiner, Ye Xusheng took out another box with two snacks in it: "Eat two quickly, I'm too tired these days, don't lose yourself."
Showing a grateful smile at him, He Xiner ate it without any ceremony. Yes, it was delicious.
Seeing that she looked satisfied after eating, Ye Xusheng also smiled happily: "I guess you have finished eating your pastries, but unfortunately I didn't have time to buy them. Fortunately, Uncle Zhang went to town today and asked him to buy some."
"You are still young, and if you don't eat well and do heavy work, it will affect your growth. I originally wanted you to take it back to the house, but I thought about it again, and it's better to put it here. You can come over and eat it every night.
A few bucks."
Nodding, He Xiner expressed no objection.
After eating one piece, I remembered that my parents and uncle were all busy and had lost weight, and I suddenly lost interest in eating. I had to find a way to improve the food for the whole family... This chapter has been completed!
