Back to seven or seven kinds of fields to raise children

Xu Shiqin's words immediately reminded Xu Shiyan.

"I remember I had a sewing ticket at home, and I bought a sewing machine when I had time, and it was convenient to use."

When Xu Shiyan went to give Guo Shouye a gift a year ago, he got a stack of tickets, including a sewing ticket.

At that time, I thought about moving. It was too troublesome to buy, and I was busy moving here, and Su Anying didn't know how to use it, so I forgot.

Chapter 126 Sour Hoe Board

Xu Shiyan rummaged through the cabinet and found the sewing ticket, "Fortunately, I didn't lose it. I'll go to the store of the Forestry Bureau another day and just buy one."

The sixth child has been learning cutting for so long, so he dare not say anything else, but it must be no problem to step on the sewing machine.

If you buy it back, it won't be idle and no one will use it, so buy it.

"Ah? Third brother, do you want to buy a sewing machine? Farewell, that thing is too expensive."

A sewing machine costs 150 yuan, why spend that money?

"The account can't be calculated like this. If a sewing machine is used well, it will be fine for decades.

If our family has a sewing machine, you will be able to cut it, and then the whole family will make their own clothes. Wouldn’t it save money in a few years?

Besides, how many people in Donggang know how to cut and sew?

When you finish your studies, buy all the tools. If nothing else, you can set up a small tailor shop in our house and make clothes for others. Isn’t it good? "

Xu Shiyan smiled and shook his head, 150 yuan was still easy for him to get out.

Sewing machine, one of the three major items in this year, has to be bought sooner or later.

Xu Shiqin was a little moved by what his brother said, "Third brother, are you really planning to buy it?"

"Buy, I'll go when I find time these few days, and plant our vegetable garden first."

The Xu family's vegetable garden is quite large, and it's not enough to just grow vegetables. How can there be so many vegetables for such a few people?

Xu Shiyan plans to grow some yellow smoke, sweet potatoes, and corn in the vegetable garden. The yellow smoke can be sold, and the sweet potatoes and corn can be eaten as food.

A while ago, Xu Shiyan got up early every day to dig the ground, the vegetable garden was almost tidied up, and all kinds of vegetables that should be planted were also planted.

At present, the yellow tobacco seeds and sweet potato seedlings are not available at home, so I have to go back to the big house to find them.

Su Anying just gave birth in a few days, and Zhou Guilan has lived here for more than a month, so she must go back to the big house.

Xu Shiyan planned to drop by to find some yellow tobacco seeds and sweet potato seedlings when he was taking his mother home.

"Okay, you brothers and sisters, stop chattering there, pack up and eat quickly."

Zhou Guilan had already prepared dinner and greeted the siblings with a smile.

"I was so busy talking to Lao Liu that I forgot about the business.

Mom, let's eat later. I picked up a few handfuls of celery and some wild eggs today. Let's prepare two more dishes.

These two days I only ate small tofu, and I got sick from eating it. "

Xu Shiyan suddenly remembered that there was still something in his backpack, so he hurriedly went to the outhouse to find the backpack, and took out the big leaf celery and wild eggs inside.

"Oh, this big Yeqin is not too tall.

The Donggang side has a later solar term than that of the big house, and it is almost too late to leave it there at this time. "

Zhou Guilan looked at the half-foot tall Yeqin and muttered.

"Well, Donggang has a late solar term, and I think it can be about ten days later than the big house."

Donggang is at a high altitude, close to Changbai Mountain, and the temperature is low. It is true that the solar terms are a few days later.

"Hey, old six, I also picked a pickle board, here you are."

Xu Shiyan took out a pickle board from his pocket and handed it to Xu Shiqin.

"It's not in the big house now, and there's nowhere to pick a big neck for you."

The big neck is also a plant that tastes sour.

A single stem with a large leaf growing on it, most of which grow under the stone ladles by the river.

The stem is one and a half feet high and can be eaten when tender, sour with a little astringency.

In the era when snacks are scarce, it is also very happy to be able to eat a big neck.

In addition to sour hoe boards and big necks, there are tiger polygonum seeds that can be eaten in spring.

Tiger Polygonum is actually the seedling of raspberry, the kind of tender seedling that emerges directly from the ground, half a foot high and thick with chopsticks.

Remove the leaves, peel off the outer skin and spines of the stems, and eat the tender stems inside.

The good taste is the fragrance with a little sweetness, while others are bitter with astringency, it all depends on luck.

Anyway, the children in the mountains have already developed the ability to dare to eat anything.

In spring, sour hoe board, big neck, tiger scorpion, in summer, mountain sesame flower, oxbolinggai flower, tray, and Dianzizi.

In autumn, people eat wild grapes, schisandra, jujubes, and even stinky plums.

Especially stinky plums, which are sour and astringent, can't move the tongue after eating, and the tongue will be stained purple-black.

If you eat too much, you can't poop, but there are still a lot of children who like to eat it.

In the era of scarcity of supplies, children could not eat shrimp crackers, potato chips, popcorn, or drink Coke Sprite Mirinda.

But they will try their best to find everything that can be imported to obtain simple happiness and satisfaction.

"My third brother is better, he thinks about me in everything." Xu Shiqin quickly took the pickle, pinched one and chewed it in his mouth.

The slight sour taste diffused in the mouth, and the saliva immediately became richer.

"This thing is really appetizing." While talking, Xu Shiqin walked into the house with the pickle board.

"Don't give it to your third sister-in-law, she is in confinement, she can't eat these."

Sour hoe board is cold in nature, the whole plant can cure burns, Su Anying is still in confinement, so she can't eat that thing.

Xu Shiqin agreed, put the sour hoe board in the Westinghouse, then took the sickle into the vegetable garden, cut two handfuls of leeks, washed them and cut them into sections, and kept the fried wild eggs.

Zhou Guilan took a handful of celery and shook it, then picked off the leaves and grass, washed it with water, and threw it in a pot to scald it.

Then take it out and dry it in cold water, cut it into sections and add some chopped green onion, some salt and soy sauce and mix it.

Wild vegetables like to be fried in oil. They don’t taste good when fried without oil. It’s better to mix them with cold dishes.

"There seems to be a piece of bacon at home, I'll chop it up tomorrow, let's make buns to eat.

It is best to eat celery with cabbage, steamed buns or dumplings. "Zhou Guilan kept her hands on and said while mixing vegetables.

Xu Shiyan wanted to say, what kind of buns should I make? Dumplings are delicious, and Dayeqin dumplings are the best.

But then I thought about it, how can I make dumplings?

Meat is okay, the meat ticket that Guo Shouye gave last time is still available, but you can buy it, what about white noodles?

There is a little white flour left at home. The last time the father-in-law and mother-in-law came, they made dumplings. How can there be dumplings without white bread?

Forget it, steamed stuffed buns are steamed stuffed buns, and steamed stuffed buns with corn noodles are also pretty good, so don’t think too much about them these days.

Waiting for the spring of next year, I will catch two piglets high and low to raise them, not for anything else, just eat some meat at home.

I didn't dare to raise it this year, mainly because Su Anying gave birth to a baby, and she was afraid that she would be tired. Moreover, the family's foundation is poor, and there is not much food, so what to feed?

There were two extra dishes for dinner, cold celery and scrambled wild eggs with leeks. Unfortunately, Su Anying didn't eat a single bite of these.

Leek regenerates milk, and cold vegetables cannot be eaten by confinement women, for fear that she will have diarrhea.

Su Anying just watched helplessly, with a pitiful look on her face.

"Daughter-in-law, cabbage buns tomorrow, you can eat that, so just bear with it tonight.

You will be confinement in a few days, it will be fine when you are confinement, you can eat whatever you want. "

Xu Shiyan, who was eating vegetables with his head down, suddenly looked up and saw his daughter-in-law's resentful eyes, and hurried to comfort her.

Chapter 127 Night Cream

May NO.18, Xu Haiyuan's full moon.

On this day, Xu Chenghou brought his son, daughter-in-law, grandson and granddaughter to Donggang to celebrate Xu Haiyuan's full moon.

By the way, I also brought some yellow smoke seedlings and sweet potato seedlings to Xu Shiyan, so there is no need for Xu Shiyan to go back to the big house now.

Everyone had lunch at Xu Shiyan's place, and left for the big house in the afternoon, and Zhou Guilan naturally followed.

Before leaving, Xu Shiyan gave his mother another 30 yuan and a few cloth tickets.

"Mom, I should make you a suit of clothes, but I'm also busy, let alone Yingzi.

Take the money and the cloth ticket, and go back to the county to buy a piece of beautiful cloth and make a suit of clothes. "

My mother has been here for a month and a half, and my daughter-in-law and children are taking care of me very well.

Su Anying didn't lose weight after confinement, on the contrary she gained weight.

Not to mention Xu Haiyuan's body, his arms are like lotus roots, all thanks to Zhou Guilan.

Xu Shiyan was grateful to his mother from the bottom of his heart, and had nothing to express, he could only give some money and cloth tickets.

Zhou Guilan refused, but Xu Shiyan stuffed it in his pocket.

"Mom, my elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are watching over there. It's not good for us two to tear it back and forth. I'll keep it for you."

When Zhou Guilan saw it, she couldn't argue with her son anymore, so she had to accept it, and then left Donggang and returned to the big house with Xu Chenghou and others.

As soon as Zhou Guilan left, the house suddenly seemed much empty.

Fortunately, there is also this little guy Xu Haiyuan, the little thing that is full moon is getting more and more fun, and he has less time to sleep during the day, lying on the kang and kicking his calves.

Sometimes he can babble and chatter, and he looks fat and white, which is very rare.

Xu Shiyan kept his word, and after searching for a day, he actually went to the store of the Songjianghe Forestry Bureau and brought a sewing machine back.

By the way, I also bought a complete set of cutting rulers, scissors and other tools for Xu Shiqin.

But Xu Shiqin was so happy that he cut a half-sleeve top for Su Anying that day, and made it in the middle of the night.

The next morning, I ironed it with an iron and sent it to Su Anying. Su Anying tried it on and it was just right.

"Lao Liu, you are good at this craft, and the clothes you make are really beautiful."

Su Anying stood in front of the big mirror and looked left and right, she was very satisfied, and even praised Xu Shiqin for her good craftsmanship.

Xu Shiyan was also very happy to see it. The sixth child is really good at this skill, so he must praise him a few times.

"Third brother, I have been studying with my master for several months, and I can make most clothes.

A few days ago, my master secretly told me to let me study for another two months, and then find a way to help me get rid of the relationship and see if I can stay in the tailor shop to work. "

Xu Shiqin is ingenious, no matter what he looks at, he knows it.

In addition, she will come to work, and she will bring something to the master from time to time.

Nothing else, fresh cabbage, radish, and lettuce from the vegetable garden are brought to the master in different styles every day.

That master is a worker. There is no vegetable garden at home, so you have to buy vegetables to eat, and someone will give them to you. Wouldn't you be happy?

After coming and going, he took more care of Xu Shiqin. No matter what clothes he made, he would call Xu Shiqin to look at them, and then tell them after reading.

Xu Shiqin was not stupid in the first place, and even if the master taught him so hard, what else could he not learn?

"Yo, your master is good at it, you can deal with it.

It would be the best if you can stay in the store, receive salary, get red card, not bad. "

The tailor shop is a subordinate unit of the Forestry Bureau, collectively owned, and the masters in the tailor shop are all regular workers who receive wages.

If Xu Shiqin could stay, even the first apprentice would have a salary of more than [-] yuan a month, and he could still eat food supplies, which is a good thing.

"If you need money or things to leave the favor, tell me, and I will help you find a way. As long as the work can be implemented, everything will be easy to handle."

The Forestry Bureau is a good unit for everyone to sharpen their heads and want to enter, with high wages and good benefits.

If Xu Shiqin can really become a worker, he really doesn't have to worry about it in the future.

Even if she is laid off in a few years, she is not afraid. Xu Shiqin knows how to do crafts, can open her own shop, and retire when she gets old. What a wonderful thing?
