Chapter 36 Eating Honey
Ye Shuzhen saw that her mother was in the courtyard in the afternoon and did not mention changing jobs with Daya again.
In the afternoon, there was more Lai in the yard to help with the work, and the rice threshing speed was a little faster. Lai, who had not worked much, only felt a sore back after working for half an hour.
I feel like I can't straighten my waist. I hit the back of my fat body with one hand and my hands feel sore.
"Mom, do you now know how hard we worked this morning?" Seeing her mother's hard work, Ye Shuzhen not only had no sympathy, but also had a mocking thought.
"Mom must have known about it now. From now on, she will work at home first and then help my eldest sister. Don't you think so? Mom?"
Ye Shuzhi brought out the resentment in her heart and spoke to her mother face to face. She also knew that in this family, if her mother didn't do anything, more work would be placed on their sisters.
When Ye Shuzhi thought about marrying the boss and not having to do all the farm work, she thought that the day of marriage would come soon.
She has forgotten her thoughts about meeting the guard before. Now she feels that as long as she doesn't have to do farm work, it doesn't matter if the husband she marries is not very good-looking.
"You are really my good daughters! Is it easy for me to raise you? Isn't it just a matter of doing more work? Don't you deserve to be blessed at your age?"
Lai's daughter, who was usually partial to her, was really upset today, glaring at them angrily, and then she could only work for a while, rest for a while, and occasionally glance resentfully at the two dolls' room.
Ye Shiqi's baby body, after eating, played with her fourth sister for a while. The noisy sound in the yard outside could not affect her sleep, so she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
The fourth baby also lay down and slept, blowing air from time to time, and was not disturbed at all by the noise of the beating outside.
Ye Shiqi woke up again and looked out of the window of her room, just in time to see Mrs. Lai glaring at their room.
She shrank her neck innocently, and grandma glared at them. Wasn't she asking them to work at such a young age?
Ye Shiqi glanced at her sister sleeping next to her. She was sleeping soundly and was blowing bubbles from her mouth.
I couldn't sleep at this time, and I was bored and wanted to find something to do, so I thought of her space.
Ye Shiqi observed the space and saw that the plants and flowers in the space were in bloom and the industrious little bees were collecting honey. She also found a honeycomb built by the little bees. There was honey in the honeycomb, although there was not much honey.
Her mouth was watering.
The rice scattered on the ground has sprouted and lush seedlings, and it looks like it will bloom and bear rice soon.
Ye Shiqi calculated the time point. It takes two hours for the rice to germinate into seedlings. So, can the rice be harvested once or twice a day?
The area for growing rice is not large. If you can harvest twice a day, you can harvest dozens or 100 kilograms of rice.
Ye Shiqi felt happy when she thought that there was rice in space and she would not have to eat thin food in the future.
When she saw the honey, she wanted to eat it, so she cut a bit of the honey nest with her mind and the honey came out, like a snack.
The sweet smell made the sleeping Siwa's nose twitch. He opened his eyes and got up. He looked around and found that the source of the smell was in his sister's hands.
"Honey... Wuya, sister wants to eat it too..."
Ye Shiqi found the fourth baby cute when others said she was drooling. She could not move around or avoid the crowd. This fourth sister was the first to discover her secret, so she had to keep it a secret.
"Shh..." Ye Shiqi couldn't say any more words to make Si Wa understand. She could only make a silent gesture with her finger, and then pointed outside.
"Fifth sister, I understand that if you have delicious food, you can't let grandma, second aunt, and third aunt know about it, otherwise we won't be able to eat it, and I know it."
As Siwa spoke, she patted her chest as a gesture of reassurance. Her eyes were fixed on the honey nest in Ye Shiqi's hand, and she was drooling as she spoke.
When Ye Shiqi was found eating alone, she could only put aside the honey nest in her hand, split it into two halves, and gave one half to her fourth child.
Si Wa got the honey candy in her hand and carefully licked the honey in the peach with her tongue bit by bit, eating it slowly like eating candy.
"Mmm, it's so sweet and delicious."
The fourth baby smiled happily. She had never tasted honey that tasted better than sugar. She knew it was honey and a bee nest because their little book included pictures, literacy, and storytelling.
content.
My father told this story and knew that this was a honeycomb where bees gathered flowers and there would be a lot of honey, honey that was more delicious than sugar.
Ye Shiqi didn't eat as slowly as Si Wa did. After finishing the meal, she licked her fingers at the honey nest in her hand. She was still not satisfied, but she no longer dared to cut the honey nest under Si Wa's eyes.
Ye Shuzhen was doing some slacking when she suddenly felt the sweet smell wafting in the yard.
She shrugged her nose and said to Ye Shuzhi, who was also lazy for a while:
"Second sister, do you smell a sweet smell in the yard?"
Ye Shuzhi's first reaction was to retort: "Third sister, is it the smell of sweat? Where does the sweet smell come from? Do you think you have applied rouge powder? Can you afford expensive rouge powder? You have inferior rouge powder.
You can afford it, right? How fragrant can that kind of rouge powder be? You don’t wear rouge powder when you’re working, do you?”
Ye Shuzhen didn't know how to refute her second sister's misunderstanding, but she said honestly: "Sister, I don't have money to buy that kind of rouge powder. It's useless to apply rouge powder today. There's such a big dust, you
Don’t you think this is the taste of honey?”
"Honey? Did my mother buy honey yesterday?" Ye Shuzhi glanced at her and was working with her head down, not paying attention to her mother who was talking to them.
"Second sister, do you mean that Mom bought honey and didn't tell us? It's also possible. Mom eats alone a lot of the time."
"Then let's secretly go to mother's room and look around. How about we sneak some honey?" Ye Shuzhi winked at her sister. This was the two sisters' favorite thing to do.
"Okay, let's take this opportunity to find out how much private money my mother has hidden." Ye Shuzhen chuckled, and she and her second sister walked quietly to the door of her mother's room. She gently twisted the wooden door with her hands.
The lock of this kind of wooden door is very crude, and the key can be made of iron wire. Ye Shuzhen couldn't turn the lock of the wooden door, so she turned to look at Ye Shuzhi and stamped her feet.
"Second sister, what should I do if the door is locked?"
"Stupid, didn't we learn to pick locks from him?" Ye Shuzhi and her sister were often at home. The three sisters didn't learn anything, so they learned the job of picking locks from their father and brother.
Some people who are carpenters also have another skill, which is to install locks. They need to lock the main and small doors. They can make this simple lock by themselves, which can be opened more easily.
Many people in this industry are upright people, and they will not learn to steal in crooked ways just because they know how to pick locks.
