After lunch, the Zhang Wenguang brothers went to work again, and the women sat and chatted in the courtyard.

After chatting until one or two o'clock in the afternoon, Qiao Lian saw that the time was not early, so she said goodbye to the big guy and left.

"Mother, eldest sister and third sister, I have to take the child home, there are mules and two puppies at home, I have to go back and see."

"Third sister, you leave early tomorrow morning, I can't come to see you off, wait for the next time you come back to stay for a few more days, otherwise you will be free, and my eldest sister and I will go to see you."

It's rare for sisters to meet, and Qiaolian is also reluctant, but she lives in a different place, and it's not okay to go back late.

Moreover, the car over there did not pass by, even if she had the intention to let Qiaoyun go over to stay for one night, she was afraid that it would delay Qiaoyun to return to Linjiang by car, so she could only separate and meet again later.

Fortunately, Linjiang is not particularly far from Daying, and now it is open to traffic, and it is convenient to go back and forth, so you can go there if you have the opportunity.

"Second sister, I'm fine, I'll be back when I have the opportunity in the future, you have to pay more attention.

When you give birth to a little nephew, you must send someone to send me a letter, and I will come back to see my nephew when the time comes. ”

Qiaoyun was also reluctant, but there was a mess of things on the Chang family's side, and she couldn't leave if she didn't leave, so she could only find a chance to come back later.

The sisters said a few words, and Qiaojuan handed over a basket, which was the one that Qiaolian carried, and the basket contained a few zongzi wrapped in oak leaves.

"This is my bag, the oak leaf rhubarb rice, although it is not as good as what you brought, but the taste is different, take it back and let the children taste it."

Okay, I won't send you, don't worry about you and the child on the road, eat as much as you can when you go back, and send Jiakang to deliver the letter.

The weather is warm, and Jiakang is also sensible, and he can run errands. Qiaojuan told again and again.

Qiao Lian agreed one by one, and greeted the others one by one, and then led the child out of Zhang's house, the time was still early, and the three mothers were not in a hurry to rush back, and walked back slowly.

Back at Shizuizi, everything was normal at home, the little mule was still gnawing on the grass, and the two dogs found a comfortable place to bask in the sun and sleep, everything was so quiet and stable.

Qiao Lian suddenly felt very comfortable, and now that she has some meaning.

"Jiakang, you take these dumplings and give them to Aunt Zhao, just say that they are for Brother Dabao to taste them." Qiao Lian entered the house, picked up six or seven zongzi, and asked Jiakang to take them to Zhao's house.

There are only a few families in Shizuizi, the Qu family and the Zhao family are close, they always have to get along well, and they can take care of each other in some things.

The child didn't feel tired, as soon as Jiakang heard it, he immediately left with the basket, Jiayuan didn't like to play with a few boys of the Zhao family, so she didn't follow, but stayed at home to accompany Qiaolian.

When waiting for Jiakang to come back, there were a few more quercus leaf zongzi and eggs in the basket, needless to say, it was naturally Zhao's sister-in-law who took the Qu family's zongzi and asked Jiakang to bring it back.

Neighbors walk around each other, and it is normal to go back and forth.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather gradually got hotter, Qiaolian was pregnant, and she couldn't stand the heat more and more.

Especially in these years, there is no fan air conditioner, and the doors and windows can only be opened, but there is also a disadvantage to opening the windows, that is, there are many mosquitoes.

The Qu family was originally close to the forest, and there were many mosquitoes in the mountains, so they flew into the house vigorously at night.

There was no way, Qiaolian had to install a curtain screen inside the window, so that she could block mosquitoes, and also burned a bunch of wormwood smoked mosquitoes in the yard every night.

The house was lit with mosquito coils, and the children were sprayed with flower water, so that the mosquitoes were not gnawed.

The weather was too hot, and Qiaolian didn't care about that, relying on the fact that there were few people in the middle of nowhere, she simply made two half-sleeved pieces and a dress, anyway, she couldn't see it when she wore it at home.

In fact, the management of the month is not so strict these days, and there are many people in the city who wear half-sleeves and dresses, but they are generally not worn like this in the countryside.

The main thing is that most of the country women also have to work in the fields, and the half-sleeves are exposed to the arms, which are easy to scratch or let mosquitoes bite, so there are very few people who wear them, and the old-fashioned old lady will be unhappy when she sees it.

Fortunately, Qiaolian didn't have any elders in the family, and no one cared about her, so she spent the summer like this.

In a blink of an eye, it was August, the weather was getting cooler, and Qiaolian's belly was also bigger, which looked much bigger than the belly of an ordinary pregnant woman for more than four months.

No matter who saw it, they were surprised, and many people asked, is Qiaolian pregnant with two more in her belly?

For this, Qiao Lian can't say for sure, there are no instruments to check these years, how does she know if it's one or two?

I just secretly prayed, whether it was one or two, I just hoped that the doll in my belly was safe, but I didn't have any moths.

In August, the beans in the field began to yellow and fall leaves, the buds and rice also turned yellow and the leaves were yellow, and the sorghum was even more pleasing and purple-red ears.

Many families have already started to harvest their crops.

Although Zhang Wenguang and Mrs. Chen agreed to come over to help during the autumn harvest, Qiaolian didn't completely count on others.

Every household has land and crops, and who doesn't rob their own house at this time? If there is a rain in the changing sky, won't the hard work of the year be in vain?

So Qiaolian didn't wait, but carried a sickle into her own field, and went to harvest sorghum and millet first.

Qiao Lian cut down the sorghum or millet with a sickle in front, and the two babies of Jiakang Jiayuan were not idle.

Each took a pair of scissors, cut off the sorghum ears from the sorghum straw according to Qiaolian's request, and then sorted out the sorghum straw from the end to the end, waiting for Qiaolian to turn around and find an elm tree to bundle the sorghum straw.

The reason why they cut the ears in the field is mainly because Jiakang Jiayuan and the two babies can't do other work, Qiaolian is working in the field, and she is afraid that they will run around.

So arrange such a job, the two babies do it slowly, they do it a little, and Qiaolian will be a little easier in the future.

Sorghum, millet, millet, these are all operated in the same way, when the time comes, the grain will be transported home first, and the rest of the straw will not be afraid to throw it in the ground.

Even if the weather changes, the big deal is that the forage for the livestock is a little less, so that the grain will not be spoiled.

Qiaolian is a big woman, with a much larger belly than an ordinary pregnant woman for four or five months, and she is naturally stupid when she starts working.

The weather in early autumn was slightly cool, but Qiaolian was tired and sweaty, Jiayuan saw it, and quickly handed over the kettle, "Mom, you drink saliva, don't worry, we'll help you dry slowly." ”

Looking at the well-behaved and lovely daughter, Qiaolian felt very comfortable, even if she was tired, she was happy.

"It's okay, mom is not in a hurry, the weather is good these days, let's clean up slowly at home."

Eight acres of land, less than Shijiagou, but this crop can be extremely rare, Qiaolian looked, the yield of one acre of land is four or five percent more than Shijiagou.
