"Auntie, are you home?" Qixue knocked on the door, but no one opened.

"Come here!" I heard someone hurrying out to open the door

"Why is Xiao Hanniang here? It's time to eat." He Fengzhen opened the door and welcomed Niangsan into the door

"I've eaten, auntie. I'm here today to ask my auntie and sister to help me make a quilt. The quilt at home is thin, and it looks like it's going to be cold today." Qi Xue looked at the basket in front of Chen Hui, which contained cotton thread and cloth , still embroidering a handkerchief.

"Okay,"

"Auntie, I didn't bring any cotton thread when I came out in a hurry, so I used auntie's first. The [-] Wen will be used for the handwork of my aunt and sister."

"It's unavoidable, you child, how can my aunt get your money for helping you?" He Fengzhen hurriedly stuffed the money back into Qi Xue's hands

"Auntie, let's stop pushing, I can't ask my aunt to do it for me, or I'll feel bad about it,"

"That's too much, so my aunt's five cents can be used to buy cotton thread and manual expenses." After all, twenty cents is enough to buy half a catty of meat, so He Fengzhen dare not spend so much.

"Auntie, if there are really too many, how about helping our third mother make winter clothes." Qi Xue took another piece of cloth from the basket, and He Fengzhen gave up.

"It won't be like this next time"

Seeing that Qi Xue couldn't be held back, He Fengzhen asked Chen Hui to help measure the three of them, put away the basket for making handkerchiefs, and began to draw lines on the cloth.

"Auntie, I would like to trouble you and my sister to drive out the quilt first, I have to go to Lizheng to repair the roof of the house"

"Hey. Go ahead. It's not convenient for you to take the two children with you. Xiaoliang will come back from the field later and let the children play with Xiaoliang."

Xiaoliang is He Fengzhen's youngest son, who is about seven or eight years old. Children at this age are at a time when dogs are disgusting. They always disturb He Fengzhen and Xiaohui's work at home, so they are kicked out to play in the field with Chen Shu. .

"Then I'll trouble Auntie." Qi Xue also felt that carrying the child was a bit tiring. Although Bo Han didn't need her to hold him, Boya was still young, and this would be the time when he loved to sleep again, so Qi Xue was always holding her. It's also sore to hold this arm all the time.

"Xiaohan, you have to be obedient here and don't disturb grandma's work, you know?"

"Xiao Han is obedient" Seeing Bo Han's obedient appearance, Qi Xue explained a few more words, Boya went to bed after lunch, put the child on his aunt's bed and covered him with a quilt, and hurried to Lizheng's house.

"It's embarrassing Xiaoxue too," He Fengzhen sighed seeing Qixue's hurried figure

"Isn't it just to take care of the child, it's not difficult," Xiaohui said dissatisfied

"With children, you are not allowed to eat or drink. Whoever earns money to buy food at home has to rely on your elder sister Xue to worry about it?" He Fengzhen looked sideways at Bo Han and whispered in the back room

Chen Hui was speechless after saying a word, well, this woman looks a little more pleasing to the eye than before, hmph, it's just a little bit

On the way, Qixue pretended to take things from the back basket, and took out brown sugar wrapped in two-purpose oil paper from the space, and heard from Chen's aunt that the granddaughter-in-law of Lizheng's family had just given birth and was still in confinement, so Qixue did it. Thinking of taking brown sugar.This thing is something that cannot be bought with money in the village. The market in the town sells white sugar. Sugar is a precious thing in this era. It costs fifteen yuan for a tael, let alone brown sugar.The candied haws bought for Bohan cost five cents for just a thin layer of sugar coating.
