Chapter 1026 Spring Sowing Is Over

Walking to the Empress Dowager, she washed her hands in the ditch beside her, and then helped the Empress Dowager to walk towards Qinghe, "I'll take you to wash it, first clean the mud on the shoes, turn back Put on clean ones when you get home."

The Empress Dowager was very excited to be able to wash the mud off her feet, but she couldn't keep her face off, "Aijia is not that delicate. You finish your work first, and it's the same when you go to wash it later."

"Do you think that our female relatives are really coming here to do half-day work? We just come here to join in the fun and help out. We have to go home soon," Mrs. Liu gave the Empress Dowager a funny look, and explained by the way, "At home, Yuzheng and Mu Qiu have to take care of the children and cook, so they may not be able to handle it. Besides, their cooking skills are not as good as mine, and the whole family can't get used to their cooking."

"In that case, let's go." The Empress Dowager straightened her back and issued the order very naturally.

Mrs. Liu's teeth ached after hearing this, aren't they walking now? I really have to put on airs all the time.

Standing on the ridge of the field, the empress dowager is probably the only one who can regard this place as the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

He took the empress dowager to the stone steps where women in the village wash their clothes, chose a dry stone step for her to sit on, put her feet in the river, and scrubbed off the thick layer of mud on her shoes.

It's not long since spring started, and although the weather has started to get warmer, the river is still cool.

When her feet were immersed in the river, the empress dowager couldn't help but flinch. It's cold, but you can clearly feel the river flowing slowly.

Through a pair of shoes, you can also feel the feeling of water washing over the instep.

The Empress Dowager felt novelty watching the waves of filth taken away from the shoes by the river rushing by. And after adapting to the temperature of the river water, the initial coldness has dissipated, followed by a sense of comfort that can relax the whole body.

When Mrs. Liu asked her to get up, she actually felt a little nostalgic.

"It's comfortable." Mrs. Liu understood her micro-expression, "The water temperature is still a bit cold now. It will be comfortable when you come to wash your feet in summer. And you are still wearing shoes on your feet, washing your feet in the river It’s like scratching an itch between your boots, you can’t feel anything. It’s fun to play in the water and barefoot.”

"You're talking nonsense again. Only your husband can see a woman's feet. You are barefoot outside, in broad daylight, how decent it is."

"Look at what you said. Although we are from a rural family, we still obey the rules. Who would show their feet in front of outsiders at will? Didn't you see that my feet are still wrapped in socks?" Said Mrs. Liu raised her feet, After dipping casually in the river twice to wash away the surface sludge, the white socks that had been stained yellow by the muddy water were exposed on the feet.

Seeing the empress dowager's dark face again, Mrs. Liu deliberately moved her toes twice in her socks to demonstrate.

The empress dowager turned her face away, childish.

"Mother, Empress Dowager, let's go home directly after washing. We don't need our help in the fields. Father told us to go home and cook." Later, Chen Xiulan and Du Juan came over with a few pairs of shoes in their hands. Granny's.

"Zhixia Zhiqiu finished picking seedlings?" Mrs. Liu asked.

"I've finished picking, and I'm already helping planting rice seedlings."

"That's fine," Mrs. Liu nodded, "Then let's go back."

The three female relatives all knew that the master told them to go home to cook now, but it was just because they were tired from working in the fields and asked them to go home early. In recent years, the old men in the family have rarely let them intervene in the affairs of the field.

After returning to the Liu family courtyard, the first thing he saw was Sandou playing on the straw mat in the middle of the courtyard.

Climbing and rolling was very hot.

There was an aggressive sound coming from the kitchen, and it was obvious that Wei Hong was chopping firewood.

Fu Yuzheng and Liu Muqiu sat at the door of the kitchen, chatting while picking vegetables, and took care of the three children by the way.

Seeing a few people come back, Liu Muqiu immediately put down his work and fetched clean water from the kitchen for them to wash their hands and feet. Clean up your hands and feet, put on clean clothes, and prepare to cook later.

Mrs. Liu noticed the smiles on the faces of the two granddaughter-in-laws while washing her hands, and said cheerfully, "What were you talking about just now? You are smiling so happily."

"Talk about the scary things about Zhiqiu before." When this topic was brought up, Fu Yuzheng couldn't stop laughing. His face turned pale, and he never came to the door again. Seeing that he is so precious to Mu Qiu now, he doesn't even let her go to the field. Thinking of what he said before, I think it's funny."

Mu Qiu blushed, "Just talk about me, big brother also loves you."

"You two, don't laugh at the other. Which of the Liu family's gentlemen doesn't love his wife? At my age, when I get up in the morning to do things, the old man still gets up to light a fire for me." The old lady showed off once, Go back to the room and change clothes.

The two granddaughters-in-law are at the door of the kitchen, you look at me, I look at you, they cover their mouths together and giggle.

Everyone hides their own, quiet happiness in their eyes.

Hot water was boiling in the pot in the kitchen, and when the old mother carried the water to the bathing room to serve the empress dowager to take a bath, the empress dowager said lightly, "Mother, is this place very good?"

The old mother smiled and said, "It's excellent."

Listening to the laughter, the babbling of babies, and even the sound of chopping wood from the kitchen can make people feel peaceful and relaxed.

There is no treacherous wave cloud of the palace here, no dullness and depression of the palace, everything can make people feel warm.

For people like them, this is an extremely easy place to feel attached to.

The empress dowager stopped talking, and the old nanny didn't dare to say too much.

After the spring sowing, they will return to the capital, and the days when they can be so relaxed are numbered.

She knew that the Queen Mother was reluctant, otherwise she wouldn't have asked that question suddenly. It's a pity that such a good place does not belong to them, and it is even more impossible for them to stay for a long time and have to leave all the time.

After three full days of busy work in the Liu family compound, more than ten acres of land were planted.

In three days, all the old men in the family were exhausted and paralyzed, and they couldn't even move their fingers after resting.

Liu Zhixia, a useless scholar, was ridiculed by Liu Zhiqiu again. Then Liu Zhiqiu was chased around the yard several times by the energetic old woman holding the poker, and successfully beat the cheap-talking man all over his head.

And every time Liu Zhiqiu was taught a lesson, it was also the time when the laughter in the Liu family compound was the loudest and the happiest.

Even the three little dolls, who were not yet sensible, were amused to giggle when they saw his funny appearance being chased all over the yard.

Spring sowing is over.
