Good Farming in Spring - C85 catkin pillow
Dou Zhu, An Zi and the others knew that as famous idlers in the town, it was not easy for them to find a stable job. Especially those with better conditions, they would definitely be willing to use those who were loyal, honest, and used to using them.
The family was not a picky family, they were kind and generous, such a boss would be hard to find even in a town like this, not to mention that in such a remote village, there weren’t many people living in the surrounding area, this kind of money made a lot of peace.
“Since everyone has agreed, then let’s start. If there’s anything we need, we might get busy, but the more we do, the fewer we need. Come, come, come. Whoever cuts the grass will tie it up, and we’ll start.”
Soon, the division of labor was finished, and Dou Wang was going to stay and work with them.
He wanted to do something for the family house, and although he didn’t really want to build it, as he would have to move out of the house, he would be happy for the family if he could get it up as soon as possible.
“Alright, you can work here with the Minzi uncle. When the food is ready, I’ll call you guys back to eat, I won’t stay here with you guys anymore.”
For a job like mowing grass, if Warm Spring admitted that he wasn’t able to do it, then he might as well leave it alone.
“Alright, warm spring. You can go back now.”
Mingzi waved a hand at Warm Spring. At this moment, he was only a few dozen meters away from home, so he didn’t have to worry about any dangers on the way back.
“Brothers, let’s start.”
As Ming Zi gave the order, the few of them started to wholeheartedly cut the grass. Since they were going to overturn the ground in the future, they would cut the grass at its roots. Although it was a little tiring, overturning the earth afterwards was still a lot easier for them.
They brandished their scythes quickly, and were responsible for tying up the beans and Wang Shishi. The two of them also followed closely because they were going to spread the grass on the other side of the clearing to dry, so that they would be able to slow down.
Seeing that they were already starting their work, Lin Chunnuan walked back to the village alone. It was almost dusk, and the air also became slightly cooler. The weather in the beginning of May in the north, was at its most suitable for cold and hot weather.
He raised his head and looked at the blue sky and white clouds. The sky was so blue that it almost made you drunk, and the white clouds were so bright that they were not many. They floated freely in the blue sky.
As Lin Chunnuan strolled around for fun, she passed by Minzi uncle’s hut and remembered something. She hastened her steps and entered the courtyard. Grandmother Qian was sitting at a large table in the courtyard.
Lin Chunnuan walked over and realized that the Grandmother Qian was hiding under his shoes. It was not an easy job to do.
“Grandmother Qian, where did you find such a guy with no soles?”
Lin Chunnuan was very clear that she had never bought this kind of awl before. She was afraid that her mother would be tired, so she thought about buying ready shoes for her to wear at home.
Since she didn’t have anything to use for the soles of her shoes, her mother told her about how expensive and uncomfortable it was, and how it was a complete waste of money. She was forcing Chun Wen to buy a set of awl and needle for her shoes the next time she went to town, because Chun Wen’s shoes obviously couldn’t be dealt with, and she also had to make the two small ones again.
When he was in Lin Family Mansion, Zhang Liu had already started to warm the soles of his shoes. However, when he left the Lin Family household, because the old lady did not want to bring anything with her, he placed half of the soles of his shoes in Lin Family Mansion, and did not bring them out.
“I brought it myself. When your Minzi uncle brought me here, I thought that there was nothing to do here, so I brought these things for the shoes. I wanted to make some shoes for the brothers while they were living here.”
Hearing Grandmother Qian’s words, Lin Chunnuan looked at the soles of his shoes again, and could tell that something was different.
“Grandmother Qian, who did you make these shoes for, mine?”
It was impossible for such a small sole to belong to Minzi uncle or the rest. With a glance at its size, Yun Che could tell that it was made for him.
However, the soles of the shoes had to be glued together with an old cloth to dry. Why would Grandmother Qian’s hands have a ready-made pair of shoes that belonged to him? Seeing that the Grandmother Qian did not speak, Chun Wen looked carefully at the soles of the shoes and found some clues.
“Grandmother Qian, you didn’t cut the soles of the shoes for Minzi uncle and the rest, did you?”
The bottom of the shoe was obviously the edge of the bag. It was different from the original cloth color.
Why are you doing this? Just make it for the Minzi uncle first, it’s such a pity to cut it. I’m not in a hurry to wear new shoes.
“He’s not in a hurry to wear it. The piece he got is about to be exposed again. A girl’s, showing her toes makes people laugh. They all have shoes on their feet. No rush. Wait until we collect some old clothes, Grandma will make some for him.”
The reason Grandmother Qian said this was because he admitted that the soles of the shoes were prepared for Minzi uncle. Lin Chunnuan felt a little sour in her nose for a moment.
“Are you going to help your mother with some work? Then go in. We don’t need you here, I’m watching the two of them. I want to help your mother, but she doesn’t need me either. She’s feeling sorry for me, haha …”
Grandmother Qian smiled and waved for Warm Spring to enter the house, not caring about him.
Then, he put down what he was doing and raised his head to look. He saw Chun Jiao, who was squatting beside the Little Bamboo Fence and watching the little chickens playing, pointing at a little chicken, laughing. It was probably because the little chicken ran far away and no one played with it.
Then, he glanced at Chun Xiao who was fighting with Little Spot, Little Spot pushed Chun Xiao down onto the ground and climbed onto Chun Xiao’s body. Chun Xiao struggled to turn over and waved his hand to hit Little Spot, causing Little Spot to disappear in a blink of an eye, before Chun Xiao quickly got up and summoned it.
Seeing this warm scene in front of his eyes, Grandmother Qian felt that it was right to follow his son to the countryside. When his son said that he wanted to come here, he was very reluctant, but after coming here, he did not expect that he would be so free and easy. Zhang Liu and his family did not say anything.
When he lived in the town, although his son was by his side, he could only stay at home at night. During the day, he could only stay at home at night, and he could not go far by himself, for fear of fainting and causing trouble for his son.
If his son worked well here, he would be able to earn some money in two months. Now, life would be a lot easier, just that, when he thought about how he would leave in two months, Grandmother Qian felt a little unwilling to part with him.
She had just arrived here, and the work hadn’t even started yet, yet she already thought about leaving. This was too unreasonable, even though she had to make some preparations, she still had to take things one step at a time.
“Grandmother Qian, don’t even talk about your old granny. My granny is the one called an old granny, you’re still young.”
In fact, the Old Lady Lin wasn’t considered old, she might be a few years older than the Grandmother Qian, but they should be around forty years old, there wasn’t much of a difference.
However, Old Lady Lin always had a stern face, a gloomy face, and when she opened her mouth to scold him, she had unknowingly caused her image to age by a few years. Furthermore, in Lin Chunnuan’s heart, she had never had a good impression of him.
“Why haven’t you gone to work for your mother yet? I thought you had already entered the house.”
The Grandmother Qian’s brain had gone too far, he did not notice the warmth of spring beside him.
“Hurry up and help your mother. I’ll take a few more needles. If it gets dark, I won’t be able to do any more work.”
The moment he heard Grandmother Qian say that he couldn’t work anymore, Lin Chunnuan remembered about Oil Lamp. He had really forgotten about it, he should have asked Liu Yunhe to bring back another oil lamp for him. Forget it, next time, there would be too many things going on today.
Lin Chunnuan opened the door and entered the room, she heard the sound of the door and casually asked.
“Who is it?”
Right now, there were a lot of people in the family, Zhang Liu had to ask who they were. After all, all the employees at home were young men.
“It’s me, Mom. Let me help you with your work.”
Lin Chunnuan walked to Zhang Liu’s side, but Zhang Liu kicked her out.
“No need for you, this is almost over. Don’t get yourself all covered in oil smoke.”
When she saw that the dishes had all been steamed and placed in wooden basins, and the porridge in the pot had all been left open to dry, there were only two vegetables left to stir-fry. She didn’t really need her help anymore.
“Mom, when you made the quilt last time, we still had some flowery clothes, right?”
“There’s still some left over, what are you trying to do? Making clothes? “If that big flower makes clothes, it won’t look too good. How about we buy some pretty clothes for your mother when the time comes?”
Zhang Liu thought that his daughter wanted new clothes, and felt that his daughter was truly wronged that she had been wearing these for so long.
“No, Mother, I just want a flowery cloth to make a pillow case for Grandmother Qian. I gave him a side recipe to make a pillow for him so that he can sleep well while lying on that pillow in the future.”
Lin Chunnuan only said that it was a side character and didn’t tell Mother what it was. She was afraid that she would leak it when she was chatting with Grandmother Qian.
The one your Grandmother Qian is currently resting on is a new pillow, don’t you think it’s enough to drag the occipital cores out? Mother still has two spare white occipital cores sets, add them and put them into your Grandmother Qian’s original pillowcase. There’s no need to trouble yourself to make a new one.
“Right, look at my brain.”
Lin Chunnuan ran out of the room.
“Mother, I’ll go and fill Grandmother Qian’s pillow then.”
Looking at the warm spring breeze that rushed out, Zhang Liu shook her head.
“Slow down, don’t fall.”
Lin Chunnuan first went to Grandmother Qian’s bed and pulled her pillow, then went to the place where Zhang Liu had stored the cloth, and pulled out a set of occipital cores.
“Oh? Why are you in such a hurry?”
It was getting dark. Grandmother Qian, who could not continue working, entered the house with his two children, who had just washed their hands, and almost bumped into Lin Chunnuan.
Grandmother Qian, use some special materials to make a pillow for you. Tonight, you will be able to sleep well.
Lin Chunnuan waved the pillowcase on her hand, then ran all the way out.
