After marrying the sister next door

Anji naturally noticed the scrutiny of Nine Girls, and was full of anticipation for Baicha to ask her a question, but she ran back and forth five times and no one made a sound.

Anji looked at the back of Nine Girls, and lay down powerlessly in a large font on the pile of wormwood. Smelling the aroma of wormwood, she took a piece of wormwood leaf and put it in her mouth.Or because what she said made her disgusted and didn't want to talk to her anymore!

Then he shook his head and felt that something was wrong, he was waiting for her specially doing embroidery work in the yard, he thought wildly for a while but couldn't figure out why, so he sang: Don't guess what the girl is thinking, you won't understand even after guessing.

Baicha didn't know that she went to the yard every afternoon to do embroidery, which was interpreted by Anji narcissistically as waiting for her in the yard, put down the needle and thread on her hands, got up and walked to the kitchen. Angie found it weird!But that strange tone is quite nice.

Anji sighed when she saw the people leaving, got up and patted the soil on the clothes, went to the warehouse in the backyard and took the unused mats to the well for cleaning. The moxa leaves are used to make moxa, and she will pick them off later Put it on the mat to dry. The production process of moxa velvet is to dry and break the wormwood leaves, and then repeatedly smash the broken wormwood leaves into velvet.

Her grandfather made moxa at home. The efficacy of moxa is divided into years, and the price of older years will be more expensive. She asked about these when she went to the county town to sell herbal medicine last time.

For example, it is also a kind of medicinal material. If a person who does not know the properties of the medicine dries the medicinal material, it will lose its medicinal properties, and she will dry it according to the characteristics of the herbal medicine to retain the maximum medicinal properties. Then the medicinal materials received by her in the pharmacy may be dozens of dollars, and the herbs that have lost their medicinal properties Maybe just a few pennies. Herbal medicines are grass if they lose their efficacy.

While brushing the mat, Anji was thinking about what to throw into the velvet, and planned to go to the warehouse to search for it later. An Dahe used to be a barefoot doctor, and there were all the things that An Dahe used to work as a barefoot doctor. It was hard to say that he could find something that could be used. This would save her money to buy. up.

There are not many people in the village who have wells, and the drinking water is basically fetched from the river in the south of the village. The reason why An’s family has a well is because An Dahe was a barefoot doctor at that time, and he could earn money by seeing patients. Money came easily. The life is not so careful, and An’s house is indeed a bit far from the river, so when the house was built, a well was directly drilled in the backyard. This is what Anji is most satisfied with. She runs up the mountain all day long. She takes a bath every day. If she were to go to the river to fetch water every day, it would be a horrible thing to think about.

The backyard is surrounded by a fence. She has been here for a month and has not found anyone coming to her house to fetch water. Half a month ago, she told Miss Jiu to come to her well to fetch water. At that time, her idea was that the neighbors Well, the two boys of the Bai family went to work as long-term workers again. It is inconvenient for a girl to drink water at home alone. She said that out of kindness, but they never came to fetch water once.

Later, she vaguely understood from what the women in the village said. There is a river in the south of the village. And people here pay attention to reciprocity. I have been eating your water for a long time and I can’t give you anything back. Rural people live carefully. Water is available in the river. No one will exchange two eggs or vegetables from the field for this. Something that costs nothing.

After hearing this, Anji felt that the atmosphere in Dahe Village was good. She didn't believe that the ancient villages were like this. After thinking about it, she stopped talking to Miss Jiu. She even gave the dried sweet potato once, and they took it back for her. She picked up two eggs, which made her feel embarrassed.

Take the brushed mat to the front yard and hang it on the clothes rail, and wait for a while to dry before using it. Anji stretched her neck and looked at Bai's house, but she didn't see Baicha. She felt a little disappointed. I found that since she started thinking about marrying someone, her heart is obviously a little out of control!

Sighing and looking at the messy yard she made, she decided to get a drying rack. Then the herbs can be placed in the round dustpan and placed on the rack layer by layer, which can save space. There are many things to dry and it looks neat and beautiful.

Angie rummaged around in the warehouse for a while, looking at the pestle and mortar in her hand, she felt a headache. Let me go, if I use this little thing to pound it, she will be useless. Suddenly, I understand why the pharmacy only pays a few cents per catty for mugwort leaves. For money, those who collect moxa can get hundreds of Wen a year, which is properly included in the labor costs. If she uses this household pestle and mortar to smash the wool, she can make two taels a day, which is not bad!It seems that this money is not easy to earn.

Angie brushed up the things that could be used, and then went back to the room to draw two pictures with a pen. One was a picture of a drying rack. She was going to get a ten-layer drying rack. Stepping on the pestle and mortar uses the principle of the seesaw. Both the pestle and the mortar are large. A long wooden board is connected to the pestle, and a horizontal bar is connected with a wooden pier and a wooden shaft at the back, so that you lie on the horizontal bar and step on it lightly It can save a lot of energy by smashing the velvet as soon as it is released. She had this thing at her grandfather's house when she was a child. Later, as the life at home got better, she gradually replaced it with a machine. have.

Anji held the drawing and thought for a while, and his eyes lit up. Since he had already stepped on it with his feet, it would be better to add a few more pestles. He picked up the pen and began to modify and modify it. He added a longer one to the top of the wooden pestle. Wood, considering her own strength is limited, she did not dare to add too much. The final picture was a wooden plank connected with three pestles and mortars, so it would be fine and not too greedy.

Anji took the drawings and walked to Li Carpenter's house opposite her house. The house was located in the northwest corner of the village. The houses in Dahe Village were arranged from north to south. The terrain was higher in the north and lower in the south. The advantage is that it is close to the river and it is convenient to irrigate. The disadvantage is that it is easy to flood the land when the rain is heavy. Like hers, only the few houses in the back row are like this. It is said that this piece of wasteland was developed later. .

When I arrived at Carpenter Li’s house, I saw that he was working in the yard with his son. He greeted him with a smile and explained his intentions. He told Carpenter Li that he could make the drawings. Wood and handwork cost a total of [-] Wen. An Ji felt that the price was quite reasonable. He nodded and agreed to give [-] Wen, and exchanged some pleasantries before leaving.

I went back and got some food, and after eating, I went to the yard to start picking mugwort leaves. From time to time, I would look up to the Bai family. Every time I saw white tea, I would immediately smile at them and wait for them to go back to the house. Only then continue with the work at hand.

In the past, she didn’t think she was a hardworking person, but since she came here, it would be so boring if she didn’t have electricity or internet, if she didn’t find something to do, especially in order to live a better life, she would find something to do without realizing it. Do.

After dark, Anji went back to the house, lying on the bed and couldn't sleep. Her mind was full of the scene of tears in her eyes when she was scolded by Matchmaker Li during the day, and the patch on her clothes hurt her eyes. Sit up, put on your shoes and get out of bed, go to the wardrobe and take out the money bag from the interlayer.

There are a total of 470 bawen, which is all her money. She took out the [-] wen for Carpenter Li and put it in the interlayer. She carried the money bag back to the bed and lay down. She closed her eyes and smiled. If Baicha agrees to marry her tomorrow, she will buy some things for Baicha. Following her may not lead a particularly rich life, but she will do her best to make her live a good life.
