Chapter 38 Human Relations

During the time when the guests were having dinner, Wang Hongying and his mother-in-law were busy cleaning up the sleeping place for them. There was no way to sleep on the bed. They could only use a cool bed rake to cushion the bottom of the damp and cold floor in each bedroom, then lay a thick dry straw, and then cover the mattress with a quilt on the bed. Fortunately, Liu Yujin had just built two small houses in summer, and the Xie family brought several new quilts to give to Liu Yujin's family, and they were all used now.

Although the Xie family went down the mountain this time, they mainly wanted to exchange rice, but they were also very considerate of the things prepared for their relatives. Last time, Cheng Shu and Shounan covered the quilts with Minghua, and they were not warm at all. After asking, they found out that their family had few cotton fields and planted some on the side of their own fields, which were also used to spin and soles for shoe soles. Not to mention quilts, even cotton was not available for making cotton jackets.

So, the women of the Xie family discussed and each family took out a few kilograms of cotton leather. They left about ten kilograms of cotton leather for the Liu family to make cotton jackets and cotton pants, and all the others were bounced into quilts. This brought six beds of elastic quilts. In addition, Liu Baiquan's second aunt and third aunt gave him a coarse cloth he woven by himself.

Their food in the mountains is not good, but taro, cotton, beans, peanuts and other things grow well and can have a bumper harvest every year. Therefore, every family can produce a lot of it.

Whether it is chestnuts, walnuts, dried fungus, or dried bracken, Wang Hongying naturally likes these things, but only this cotton peel, quilts and the cloth she woven are really delivered to her heart. No matter how good the things are, they are not as precious as they are urgently needed in life!

Although her family is not short of food or money, she cannot buy the cotton and cloth without cloth tickets and cotton leather tickets. She covered herself with the quilt as her dowry. She has been covered with nearly twenty years and has become a dead piece of skin, which is so heavy that it is, but it is not warm at all. If it weren't for the hot body of Liu Yujin, she wouldn't have been able to sleep well in winter.

There are also a few children's quilts that are not very warm. They are all refurbished for many years and cannot be covered with winter, so the quilt will not work. Fortunately, the child's body is very angry and not afraid of the cold, and can still withstand it. However, if there is a new quilt, she certainly hopes to make the children sleep more comfortable.

To be honest, she really couldn't bear to use the new quilt. As soon as this idea arose, she laughed at herself in her heart: she couldn't bear to take out the things they sent for them to use, and her selfishness was really the ultimate.

She cleaned up the shops that were placed for these guests, and the guests there had already finished eating. Shounanniang and Chenglu's wife also cleaned the pots and bowls, and the kitchen was tidy.

Wang Hongying arranged for everyone to sleep, but couldn't find Shounanniang and Chenglu's wife. Seeing that they were still busy making the pig food she hadn't had time to stir in the morning, he quickly grabbed them: "Let it go, my pig has been fed once in a long time, so don't worry now. Go to bed quickly. You haven't slept these days and nights, and you have walked so far, how can you withstand it?"

The sisters-in-law saw that the eldest cousin's wife was so busy for most of the time that she was not as dirty as the others. She felt very sorry for her. She really wanted to help her: "Don't be polite, we can do it. What's the matter with this day and night! When picking tea every year, no one picks tea during the day and stir-frys at night. After frying, they have to suck it up. After half a month, they can only sleep well. I've been used to it! You see, our children are still energetic?! They are also used to it. It's because we come that you've been tired for most of the day, so it's so embarrassing."

"Look! You're here to see you! We lived in your house for so long. In order to give us enough, the uncles and grandpas borrowed the other people's requests. We didn't say anything embarrassing. If you said this today, you would be embarrassing me!"

Speaking of this, Cheng Lin's wife Shou Nanniang and Cheng Lu's wife were not ready to help anymore, but they were embarrassed to turn around and leave immediately, so they stood there and chatted for a few words.

All the male customers from the Xie family were arranged to be with Liu Baiquan's family and waited for them to go to bed. Zhu Linglong came to her eldest son's house with grass fragrance to help and prepare for lunch.

Because Guixiang and Minghua have to deliver food, they usually prepare the food at ten o'clock. When they deliver it to school, it is just the right time for them to eat after class.

She was busy entertaining guests in the morning, but now it was too late. She was worried that her eldest daughter-in-law would not be able to get busy, so she wanted to reach out to help. As a result, she saw that the two cousins ​​and niece-in-law were still chatting here, so she got angry: "Why are you two not going to sleep yet? It's almost the Chinese New Year. What if you have broken your body? "

The elders' words were better than Wang Hongying's polite advice for a long time. The sisters-in-law immediately went to the room where they and their children got up and took a rest.

Taoxiang had breakfast with the guests but never went out to play with her friends. The children had common problems, but they liked people coming to their homes. This time there were so many guests and several children. Taoxiang was excited to rush around among the guests. This time, this time, smashed walnuts for her and peeled chestnuts for her, and in a while, her belly was bulging. If Wang Hongying had not finished the bedside and called the guests away, the child would have been eating and eating.

Zhu Linglong was going to have lunch with his eldest daughter-in-law, and shouted that Taoxiang, who was still busy with snacks in the main hall, came to take her sister: "Taoxiang! Come and take my sister to take her. My mother and I want to cook for your sister and the others!"

"Hey! Here comes!" Tao Xiangyi responded loudly and ran to the kitchen, excitedly talking to her grandmother and mother about the good things she brought by her relatives: "Grandma! My cousin brought a lot of delicious food to her home, including walnuts, chestnuts, pine nuts, and taro candy..."

"You have just had breakfast and started to tinker with snacks. Why don't you take your sister there quickly!"

The child's grandfather and her uncle were more and more pampering about this girl, and Wang Hongying became more and more disgusted with her. Girls were greedy and would be disgusting in the future, but the child just took advantage of this virtue.

Wang Hongying is more and more worried about the character that girls should have when they see this child, the more anxious he is, the more worried he is!

Zhu Linglong put the grass fragrance on the child's special chair. This chair was specially made by Carpenter Guan for grass fragrance. It is more advanced than the chair he originally said, and is similar to the strollers later. It is just that there are no rolling four wheels, and there are not as many complicated things as armrests, which is just a simple three-layer wooden board.

The bottom layer is a wooden board for children to stand on. When sitting, they can also stand on top. This main function is to prevent the child from standing directly on the ground and getting cold air. The middle layer is a wooden board for children to sit on. This wooden board is movable and hanging with a cloth strip. The height of the seat can be adjusted according to the height of the child. When the child is unwilling to sit, he can also lift the wooden board and buckle it on the groove at the back. The child stands on the wooden board with feet, and the back can also use this wooden board as a backrest. The uppermost layer is a large rectangular wooden board with a circular hole of diameter in the middle. There are small things that children like to play with on the flat wooden boards in the front, back and left and right sides.

This kind of special chair is actually more scientific than the future carts. Children can start using it as long as they can sit in the month they can sit. Children sit in this kind of special chair and don’t need adults to reach out when they want to stand and sit at any time. They stand as they are in their own physical condition. Unlike future carts, children can only sit or lie down.
