Chapter 120 Marry, Marry, Marry
Because Old Mrs. Zhou had given instructions before she left, those who stayed at home today were not idle either.
Taking advantage of the coolness in the morning, the raw materials for making mugwort paste were collected in less than two hours, and by this time they had already been washed and hung up to dry.
Zhou Mingqi's new clothes are now finished.
Liu bit off the last thread with her teeth, and she couldn't wait to put on the new clothes.
"Mom, big sister, how is it? Does it look good?" She talked to herself and turned around on the spot.
The girl with a bright smile showed off her new clothes, expecting some compliments from the people in front of her.
"It looks good, of course it looks good. Don't you believe in your elder sister's craftsmanship?" Zhou Mingqin stood aside, admiring her own work.
"How can my daughter not be pretty? She is very beautiful. Whenever she stands on the road, I don't know how many boys she has charmed." Mrs. Liu Wang was bragging about herself. She originally wanted to praise her daughter, but she didn't expect to praise herself as well.
Zhou Mingqi's new clothes were the same as Zhou Mingshu's, the only difference was the color. Zhou Mingshu's was bamboo green, while hers was goose yellow, with a slightly darker green pattern on it, which matched well.
"Hehe, I feel like I am the winter jasmine~" Zhou Mingqi playfully held his face and shook it left and right, showing off and making others laugh.
"You little girl, you're already grown up, but you don't know how to be prudent at all. You act like a little girl every day~" Liu pretended to be angry and beat her out.
Zhou Mingqi ran away with a smile, but he probably went to show off to his friends in the same village.
"Daya, your two younger sisters' clothes are ready, you should make one too. Who knows, maybe they will show you around after the autumn harvest."
"Ah? Mom, it's so soon. I'm not ready to get married yet, and grandpa just passed away not long ago. How can it be done so quickly?"
Zhou Mingqin got a headache when she thought about this. Marry, marry, marry, right? When a girl grows up, she has to marry? But she doesn't want to marry at all!
It wasn’t because of anything else. As the eldest in the family, she watched her younger brothers and sisters being born.
It was scary to think about the basins of blood being carried out of the house. She didn't want to get married or have children.
"Daya, it's the same in every family. We girls have to get married when we get old. Your two aunts and I all got married this way. You don't have to worry about the mourning. We are just starting to see each other. It's too early to finalize everything. It will take more than a year for you to get married."
Zhou Mingqin held the needle and thread in her hands, but her mind was in a mess. What kind of clothes should she make? She had no idea at all.
Seeing that her daughter looked unhappy, Liu sighed imperceptibly.
This is the fate of most women. If they are lucky, they can marry a good family and have a good husband and live a stable life. If they are unlucky, they will suffer more in the second half of their life.
Thinking back, she was a little scared before she married into Old Zhou's family. She had always heard that her mother-in-law was a difficult person to get along with. It was not until she got married that she found out that those were all rumors.
Old Mrs. Zhou's anger is only directed at outsiders, not her own people. She will also scold her family members when they do something wrong, but it is all deserved. There have been some minor conflicts over the years, but they have all been resolved well.
Her husband is also a simple-minded guy, and sometimes he likes to argue, but she will just put in more effort to coax him and he will get along. Now that she has these children, she doesn't feel that her life is at a loss.
All in all, she is one of the lucky ones.
Zhou Mingshu and his three companions and Old Lady Zhou and her three companions arrived home almost at the same time.
It was quite relaxing when she went there, but when she came back, Mrs. Zhou kept complaining about the pain in her shoulders.
These things are really too heavy!
No matter how good these fruits and vegetables are, she has to be alive to eat them.
"Grandma, let me rub your shoulders." Zhou Mingyuan was surprisingly considerate. He clenched his little hands into fists and pounded on Grandma Zhou's shoulders back and forth.
"Oh, it feels so comfortable. You're such a good grandson of grandma." Zhou Mingyuan didn't pound for long before old lady Zhou felt so distressed that she stopped him.
"Go eat some peaches. The big red peaches your aunt-in-law gave you are delicious."
"Grandma, there are hairs on peaches~"
Zhou Minghua came over holding a big peach. A fingerprint could be clearly seen where the little hand was holding it, and one could imagine how many fuzzes there were on the peach.
"Is there hair? If there is hair, just wash it in the basin. Let your mother wash it for you. I will sit down and take a rest."
"Come here, Si Ya, let mother wash the peaches for you. Don't trouble grandma with everything. Can't you see that grandma is very tired?" Feng taught her while washing the peaches for her.
"Yeah, Si Ya knows."
Boss Zhou and his son moved the jars of pickles and the pumpkin vegetables to the kitchen before sitting down to rest. Running back and forth twice was really tiring.
It is really necessary to buy a little donkey. San Ya is really his substitute for food.
At this time, Boss Zhou was thinking that San Ya had foresight, and then people came outside, it was San Ya and the second and third brothers.
"Grandma, we're back." Zhou Mingshu put down the backpack, went to the well and splashed cold water on his face, only then did he feel cooler.
"Wow~ It's so hot. Where have you been? Why is it so hot?" Zhou Mingshu looked at the three people in front of him who all looked tired.
"We went to my uncle's house and just came back. My uncle and aunt gave us a lot of peaches and vegetables, but the most tiring thing was the jar of pickled vegetables. Ouch, my shoulder still hurts a little."
Zhou Mingzhi answered while eating a peach, "But this peach is so sweet. I can't usually eat it."
"Wow, you went to my uncle's house and brought back a lot of delicious food, so we are blessed!" Zhou Mingshu took a small stool and sat down in front of Grandma Zhou and said, "Grandma, I asked Uncle Chen, he said that it is called loofah, when it is tender, it can be used for cooking and soup, when it is old, it can be made into a cleaning tool, and the other kind is called chili, which is a spice and can also be used as medicine. In short, it is not poisonous."
After hearing the answer, Mrs. Zhou relaxed her brows. At least now she didn't have to worry about her whole family having to lie down together.
"If it can be made into a dish, it must be a good thing. How did it end up in our vegetable garden? Isn't that strange?"
"What's so strange about this? Uncle Chen said that it's possible that the seeds were blown in by the strong wind, or that they were brought by birds. After all, there are many mountains here, and there are bird droppings everywhere. These melon seeds can't be digested by birds, so they just happened to fall into our vegetable garden."
"That makes sense. Why didn't I think of that? Your little brain is really useful."
"Oh grandma, I didn't say that. Uncle Chen said that. I learned it and told you. Hey, I have another good news. Uncle Chen said that the pharmacy in the next town came to ask us for the wormwood paste. If the business can be promoted, we will have a big business."
Talking about this matter, Zhou Mingshu was extremely happy. One share of Uncle Chen's pharmacy plus one more share meant double the income.
If you don't make money, you're a bastard! She, Zhou Mingshu, just likes to make money.
