This was the first big purchase after moving into a new house. Due to the earthquake, almost all the previous things were smashed. My mother sighed more than once and couldn't do anything. There was only one oil lamp in several rooms, so it was dark at night.

When Bai saw cotton, she was extremely curious about it. She had never worn a new quilt as long as she could remember, and even when they consummated their marriage, it was an old quilt.

"Why did you buy so much? Do you want to make it for the whole family?" Ye Xing knew that his mother was wrong, thinking that it included three heads of houses.

"This is for five quilts. With my breasts, it's not the whole family."

"Five beds? Ouch, that's so thick,"

She was amazed, rolled up her sleeves, put a dense layer of yarn on the kang, and put the cotton on the cotton bit by bit. This work must be done carefully, otherwise the quilt will be uneven.

"Mom, your craftsmanship is so good," Ye Xing praised sincerely as he looked at the well-made cotton wadding.

"Haha, when my mother was a girl, she went to work in a cloth shop and did a lot of work. Can she still do this?"

As soon as he heard her take the initiative to bring up the past, Ye Xing couldn't help it.

"Why don't we go to grandma's house?"

Bai's face darkened, and she sighed softly,

"My mother's life was hard. When you were three years old, your grandmother passed away."

Ah, even if grandma passes away, what about grandpa? There should still be family members.

"My father married a new bride, and she couldn't see my mother. When your uncle was born, my mother became a cabbage in the field. Fortunately, my father and father-in-law were on good terms, and your grandmother took a liking to me at a glance."

Bai's eyes filled with tears as she talked about the past.

"What happened next? Did you marry dad?"

"Later, your grandfather went to serve in the army, and my grandmother's family was impoverished. She couldn't afford the promised betrothal gift, so my stepmother had to regret the marriage."

Ye Xing bit her lip tightly and listened to her mother talk,

"Not only did she want to regret her marriage, she also wanted to sell me to some shameful place!"

"hateful!"

"Your grandma got the letter in advance, borrowed money from all over the village, and finally collected enough bride price. She asked me to be the child bride and come immediately. Haha, it is reasonable for a child bride to not need so much bride price, but the stepmother took other people's dirty money and did nothing.

,"

"What about that man? Doesn't he care about his daughter's life or death?"

That person is not worthy of the word grandpa.

"He hid out and ignored me."

"What did grandma do? How did she save you?"

"She went to the county government office to beat drums and complain. Because she was a woman, she was beaten with ten canes. Because she had a marriage certificate, she escaped from the devil's cave."

No wonder whenever I eat something good, my mother will give it to my grandmother first. Such a mother-in-law is more affectionate than my mother.

Ye Xing discovered that her grandmother's quilt was definitely not made of five pounds of cotton. It was much thicker than her parents' quilt. This was not a mistake, but a sign of family affection.

"Mom, Xing'er's father bought new cotton. You can touch it. Just put this old quilt under your body. It will be softer when you sleep."

Old Mrs. Ye knew that they had bought cotton. Her little granddaughter was a genius, and she got it again this year. She made a lot of money just for the family. Now that the family is separated, it doesn’t matter if they eat something or use something good. Who knows?

She expected others to earn money, but she didn't expect that she would also get a bed as a gift.

"It's from the second son's house. This cotton is free. It's not like the old lady doesn't have a quilt. How many years have I made this bed?"

"Mom, I've been wet and dry along the way, and I'm no longer warm. Please touch it. The lining of this quilt is made of fine cotton."

When the couple said this, Ye Xing ran to find Ye Yue. She was digging soil in the back yard.

"Sister, why do you think of digging in this cold weather? Isn't it freezing?"

"It's hard, why don't you come and try it? Nai said, if you can dig it out a little, you can order leeks as soon as spring comes, and then you can eat leek dumplings."

Hearing this, Ye Xing's mouth almost watered. Although he had eaten dumplings a few times, they were all made of cabbage and radish, and he missed leeks.

"You take a break, I'll dig it!"

In addition to raising pigs and chickens, the backyard should be turned into a vegetable garden. Grandma said that in addition to food, it could also be sold in the town.

After digging for a while, both of them were tired and out of breath. It was almost noon as the sun turned.

"Sister, I bought you a gift in the town. Let's go and we'll come back tomorrow."

"Why buy it for me? Why don't you keep some money?"

Unlike the eldest uncle, this sister treats her first-class, so Ye Xing is also very generous.

"Here, let's see if you like it?"

What she bought were rags from a cloth shop, which were weighed by weight. They came in all colors and were the best materials for practicing female workers. They also had a set of embroidery tools and silk threads of various colors. In the cold winter months, she happened to be sitting on the kang to study.

Girls don't like it.

Ye Yue couldn't put it down, her eyes filled with tears.

"Little sister, how much money will this cost? How can you be willing to do it?"

"Because you were fleeing, I didn't even help you with haircuts. I just want to make up for it now. You can do it if you like."

Even if you are a village girl, it is a plus to have good needlework. Ye Yue has not decided on her husband's family yet, so she has time to learn now.

"Of course I like it. Thank you Xing'er. I will embroider a purse for you."

She touched the rags as if she were touching treasures. Her thoughts were taken seriously, and Ye Xing was also filled with joy.

Their family was covered with a new quilt. The third uncle and the others didn't think much about it. The third aunt even lay on her mother-in-law's quilt to feel it and couldn't stop praising her. However, the aunt was sore in the room.

"The second brother's family is really rich. Hey, won't my mother secretly give them more money?"

"What are you thinking about? My mother has hidden everything from the three of us. It's the second child who earns it. Why are you jealous? Xing'er even bought Yue'er an expensive gift, which even a mother like you can't imagine."

"I want to buy it too, but I haven't done anything about it as a gift for my daughter or a haircut, but where is the money? What can I do with it?"

She was very frustrated during this period. She used to stir the spoon in the same pot, eat dry and drink water all the same, but now the second room smells fragrant every day, how can she not be jealous?

"When spring comes, Awei will be a year older. If he comes with me to find a job, are he still afraid that he won't be able to make money? We have land now, and our life will be good."

Ye Zheng was smoking a pot of dry tobacco happily. He never dreamed that he could own three acres of land. As long as he worked hard, he would never go hungry again.

Ye Xing was lying on the new quilt. The feeling he had not seen for a long time finally came back, and his body no longer felt panicky. Hey, this is how people live.

Feeling comfortable, she locked the door and immediately returned to the space. As soon as she entered, she tied up her hair, took off her inner clothes, and put on work clothes. It was time to harvest the wheat in the space.

As time goes by, the land in space has become much larger, but only one acre of food is planted, and the rest of the land is planted with peppers and other spices. After all, that is where the money comes in quickly.

She harvested the crops, put them in the open space to dry, and went to the thatched shed. She had been too busy during this period and had not been there for a long time.
