In fact, she found an open space in the space to plant these cottons. The first harvest weighed more than 20 kilograms. She used it to make quilts and clothes for the farm family, and she used some for herself and Ya. Yaya also made two sets of clothes each. In fact, Yaya made several sets.
She could see that Aunt Dahua needed cotton, and thought that her family had helped her a lot in the village, so she could give her some in exchange.
"Really? Then Auntie, thank you first. Wait for me to go back and get the money now." Auntie Dahua said and was about to get up and go back to get the money.
Fang Nuo stopped her and said, "Auntie, don't be in a hurry. You can take this cotton back and use it first. Just send the money over when you have time."
"How is that possible? You are willing to give me cotton in exchange for good intentions. Why don't you take the things first without paying me?" said Aunt Dahua.
"Then Auntie, you're having an affair with me. We have such a good relationship, so I'd better wait until you're free before I give you the money. It's not like I won't accept it," Fang Nuo said with a smile.
"Okay, just do as you say." Aunt Dahua thought about it, so she was not in a hurry to withdraw the money at this time.
After sitting back on the kang, Fang Nuo stood up on the kang, went to the big wooden box on his kang, opened it, took out five kilograms of cotton, and packed it in a sack.
She prepared this, thinking that it would be more convenient for someone at home to come to chat and get something.
"Come here, aunt, take a look. This cotton is all elastic and comes in rolls. When you get there, you can lay it out into sheets. You can control how thick it is.
I lay it out in a square shape, then print it on the cut cloth, cut out pieces of cotton the size of clothes, and then sew them onto the clothes." Fang Nuo said, and took out the cotton coat he had just made in front of him and gave it to everyone. Aunt Hua looks at it.
"It's really good. Your needlework is also good. Look at each stitch, it's just like stepping on a sewing machine. Every stitch almost slips away." Auntie Dahua praised while holding the cotton coat she had made.
"Auntie, please stop praising me, or I will float up," Fang Nuo said with a smile.
"I'm telling the truth. The old godly wife of the Wang family is also blind. If you don't want such a good daughter-in-law, if you leave such a thief at home, sooner or later the house will be emptied out," Aunt Dahua said
When Fang Nuo heard her talking about the Wang family, he also remembered that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wang family was like this. She had been married longer than Fang Xiaonuo because she gave birth to the first grandchild in their family, and she was doted on by everyone in the family. , the woman always packed up all the good things for her son and sent them back to her parents’ home.
In this day and age, this is not a thief, but now that she has broken up with that family, she no longer wants to talk about that family.
It's not like no one thought she had no conscience. Her parents had raised their son so well. After marrying her, she had been filial to both of them for less than two years. As soon as her son died, she took her daughter and broke up with him.
She didn't want to explain, otherwise she would have caused trouble with Wang Jianjun's pension, and she didn't want a cent of the three hundred yuan.
She didn't ask for it, and the family thought she had forgotten it.
If these things hadn't come to her now, she would have lived a quiet life with Yaya.
If one day someone makes trouble in front of her, she will not show mercy.
"Why did Aunt mention that family member? Let's not bring up that disappointing topic together," Fang Nuo said.
"Yes, yes, I suddenly remembered that there was a commotion in her family two days ago, and I wanted to tell you how happy I am. Since you don't like to mention that family, I won't mention it in the future." Dahua Aunt said with a smile
In her heart, she really just wanted to tell Fang Nuo some gossip and laugh, but seeing that she wasn't happy, she didn't continue.
Later, the two of them chatted for a while about how to sew beautiful clothes. In the afternoon, Aunt Dahua thought about going back to cook, so she went back with cotton.
After she left, Nuo got off the kang and went to the backyard to pull grass from his vegetable shed.
I haven't been home for a few days, and the vegetables in the shed are growing well.
She also thought about planting a few fruit trees in her yard, such as grapes, persimmons, apples, sand berries, etc., and they could be planted in the front yard, backyard, and the walls. When Yaya grows up, she can have them at home. Eat the fruit.
In addition to the sand fruit, she had space for other fruit trees, so she thought that after spring, she would go up to the mountains to find a sand fruit tree and plant it.
Two days passed like this. When Fang Nuo saw the sun outside, he washed his clothes and hung them to dry in the yard.
Halfway through drying the clothes, I heard a knock at the door of the courtyard.
She walked over and saw through the crack in the door that the people outside were the two people who had returned together a few days ago. She opened the door and asked, "Two comrades, who are you?"
"Only to learn how to be young is good" Liu Chongwen said
"Hello Comrade Liu, what's going on with you two?" Fang Nuo asked again.
"That's it, Fang Zhiqing. My brother's place has just been packed up and moved in in the past two days. Isn't there still a lot of things missing at home? We asked the team leader and heard that you have fresh vegetables here, so we thought Come over here and ask if I can exchange some with you." Liu Chongwen asked
"So that's it. Okay, you guys come into the courtyard first. I'll take you to the backyard to see what vegetables you want to change." Fang Nuo heard that the other party came to exchange vegetables, so he smiled and invited the two of them into the courtyard. .
She didn't close the courtyard door, just left it wide open, and led the two of them into the courtyard. She picked up an empty basket under the eaves, and then took the two of them to the backyard.
Liu Chongwen and the others entered the courtyard without looking around. They followed her to the backyard and found out why her family had fresh vegetables to eat in winter.
"Fang Zhiqing, are you building a greenhouse for vegetables?" Liu Chongwen asked
"Well, it's just a simple shed built to prevent vegetables from freezing," Fang Nuo said.
She took the two of them into the shed and asked them to pick her.
After a while, he got a big basket, walked out of the shed, and returned to the front yard. Fang Nuo asked, "Do you want potatoes or cabbage?"
"Yes, Fang Zhiqing, how many of your family are willing to return it to us?" Liu Chongwen asked
"I can give you some back. Since I want you to wait, I will go to the cellar to get some," Fang Nuo said.
It was impossible to invite them into the house. After all, she and Yaya were the only ones in her house. Both were women and there were no outsiders around. She didn't dare to risk her reputation.
She went to the cellar and took out the cabbage and potatoes that were exchanged for the two of them, filled a small bag, and gave the two of them a few sweet potatoes.
Shen Gongqi gave her five yuan for these things, but Fang Nuo quickly refused and said: "These things are not worth much, and you can't use so much."
"Educated youth, look at what else you can exchange for food at home, and give us some in exchange. It will be enough for five yuan." Shen Gongqi felt that since the money had been given away, there was no reason to get it back, so he could only let it go. Fang Nuo watched and gave them something more.
In the end, Fang Nuo brought them some sauerkraut and pickles and other things that he had pickled, and the whole thing was put into two baskets and a small bag.
