Chapter 23:


Song Xiulian didn’t quite agree with Xiaoxia’s staying outside. After listening to this, it’s inevitable to blame Xiaoqiu’s idea. Xiaoxia is sick, but lives outside. In the open house, you can breathe the wind and sputum!
Said that, Song Xiulian still pointed to the cabinet: "In the cabinet inside, you take the bed of pink, the bed is not used, it looks good!"
Xiaoqiu, according to her advice, went smoothly to find a stack of neat sheets, and couldn’t help but smile. This is not a single peony printing and dyeing sheet that has been hailed as a 'national bed sheet' in later generations!
Song Xiuju surprised at the side: "Sister, this is not you..."
Song Xiuju’s words were not finished, and Song Xiulian interrupted with a smile:
It’s also aside, it’s good to make a curtain for both of them. New Year’s celebrations are also good!... I’ll just say it’s all right, just have to Going outside, cold and permeable, more sin!"
Song Xiuju’s words were not finished, Xiaoqiu probably guessed that this sheet should be the mother’s dowry and something that has been reluctant to use. Don't say that such a thing Xiaoqiu will not be used indiscriminately. It is this suit, Xiaoqiu really does not like it.
She decisively put the ‘national bed sheet’ back into the cupboard, and then took out a navy blue linen sheet:
That is too thin, or use this one, thick wind.

Automatically gave a reason, watching Song Xiulian shake his head and no longer reluctantly her, Xiaoqiu laughed, his mother is really good sex, although sometimes it is inevitable that a bit hate it, but such a gentle temper, how about It’s annoying.
Song Xiuju helped Xiaoqiu sew a dozen cloth rings on one side of the sheets. Wang Limin nailed two big nails on the north and south walls, and found a wire to hang up the sheets with the buckles. The curtains are ready. Xiaoqiu is very satisfied. With this curtain, it can cover the cold wind coming in the doorway. It is mainly because the privacy is much better. It is not enough for people to see her and her sister's bed at a glance.
After finishing this, Wang Limin was taken to rest by Xiaoqiu: "The day is also exhausted, go to rest, there is a small family at home and I take care of it!"
On this day, Wang Limin was not only physically tired, but also tired. When he listened to Xiaoqiu, he did not support it. He went out in the night and went to the big brother's house.
The next day was not bright, Xiaoqiu woke up. It is still late, Xiao Yan Song Xiuju has already made a good face, and it has become a shackle, and it is squatting on the hoe. At this point, brush the pot and add water, and start to steam in the cage.
Xiaoqiu brushed the soup jar clean, took out two chicken legs, knead them into pieces, and sent them to the stove.
When the first pot was steamed and cooked, Wang Limin also came back.
Xiaoqiu was concerned: "Hey, why don't you sleep more?"
After filling it up, Wang Limin’s spirit was much better. He reached out and touched his daughter’s nephew and said,
It’s already over.

As he spoke, he washed his face and went to the bottom of Xiaoxia’s bed to find a thick and thin rope. He said,
I’m going to the ground.

Wang Limin hung the rope on his shoulder, and the cotton jacket wrapped around the body went out.
Song Xiuju wondered: "Xiaoqiu, why are you going to do it? Is there any work in the land?"
Xiaoqiu knows, said: "I didn't go to the farm to do farm work. He went to the wilderness and went to the next set... It was to do the rope ambush in the woods and the weeds, the rabbits stepped on it. , you can get it."
With that said, Xiaoqiu couldn't help but sigh. In the last life, since the mother and his brother were killed, he never went to the rabbit. Now think again, after the mother is gone, although she has lived for more than ten years before she died of illness, but in those days, he lived really uninteresting!
"Oh, my brother-in-law has to use so many ropes!" Song Xiuju exclaimed.
Wang Limin is a very filial old man. The rabbits of previous years were also sent to the Song family. Song Xiuju naturally knew that he would set a rabbit. It was only the first time to see... the brother-in-law of the rabbit, it was inevitable to be curious.
Xiaoqiu came back and smiled a little proudly: "Yeah, I am very clever and my mind is flexible. Not only will I set a rabbit, but I will also make baskets and baskets." It’s all done by himself.

The two of them talked and laughed and continued to steam, and the door slammed, and Xiaoqiu ran to the door of the house. She saw her grandmother kicking the fence door and rushed in with anger, and sipped as she walked: "That ruthless heart, lost the conscience?"
When Xiaoqiu heard this, she realized that her grandmother did not achieve her purpose in the commune, and she was suffocated. When she came to the door, she came to her own mother.
She held down the little cockroach that she wanted to get up, and walked to the door of the house to stand up. She smacked the dust on her body and looked back over her grandmother. She did not see the figure of the aunt, nor did she see the little aunt who always loved the charge. I didn’t dare to relax in my heart... She really didn’t believe that the two aunts who were keen on the 'truss' would suddenly be shy... I didn’t see the two people, she only suspected that they were hiding somewhere and waiting for the opportunity. I thought I would rob Xiaoxia again.
"Grandma, which is the eyeless anger that makes you angry?" Xiaoqiu dressed in a confused look, facing the grandmother Li Fengying went up.
"You a little Nizi pretending to be confused, are the same wolf heart, dog lungs, black heart and intestines! My son's good future was delayed by a black heart and liver, and even a scent of incense is not born..." Li Fengying I shun the mouth and smother the words of Song Xiulian.
"Grandma!" Xiaoqiu yelled and interrupted Li Fengying, who kept cursing. "Who are you so embarrassed? The more I listen, the more confused I am. The most loved one, my mother can’t give birth to her son, and it’s broken. My awkward incense. But now my mother gave me a brother, who are you who cut off the incense? My big brother and my three sisters also have sons... Ah, grandma, I know who it is. Ladies! Our family didn’t have a son, it’s not that I am...

Xiaoqiu said, she had already been on alert, and Li Fengying raised her hand and hit her. She quickly hid her face and sent her shoulders to the other side of the hand--hey, a slap in the face was on her shoulder. She was shocked halfway, then there was a numbness, and then it was slowly deepening the pain of clarity!
"Ah, Grandma, why are you hitting me? Hehe... Hey, I don't know what I did wrong, let my grandmother hit me... oh..."
Wang Limin didn't say anything with his black face. He walked in and didn't look at the sad Xiaoqiu who was crying. He directly reached out to hold Li Fengying's arm and walked halfway around with his old lady. "Mother, this Early in the morning, haven't you eat yet? Go, I will send you back!"
Watching Wang Limin take Li Fengying away, Xiaoqiu also cried, and his mouth picked and smacked a smug smile.
