MTL - The Landlord And His Wife-Chapter 28 :plan

Because the children did not waste time eating, drinking and eating when they went to the city, it was still early when they came back, and it was not until the end of noon.

Liu Xuer was worried about whether her parents and Liu Sen had eaten for lunch. She ran in a hurry in front of her. The first one ran into the yard and shouted, "Father and mother! We are back!"

The window was open, and He's face was immediately exposed. Seeing her and the willow trees walking behind, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "You guys are back!"

As soon as Liu Xuer ran to the door, she saw two people came out from inside, and the one walking in front smiled and hugged her: "Xuer! You also learn to go to the city to go to the market. La?"

"Little uncle!" Liu Xuer shouted, and saw her aunt He Ruyu following, her eyes lit up, and her excited hands stretched out to her: "Auntie!"

He Ruyu smiled and immediately came over to hug her.

She was so enthusiastic about He Ruyu, He Wenyu was a little shocked, and sighed and gave her to He Ruyu: "Why does this baby like you so much today?"

Liu Xuer hurriedly said, "I have always liked Auntie!"

He Ruyu happily pursed her lips and smiled, hugged her into the room.

Senzi fell asleep on the kang, not knowing how long she had been asleep, leaning beside Liu Changgeng, Liu Changgeng was still making a small box in his hand, saw her smiling: "Come up quickly Warm and warm."

Liu Xuer was placed on the edge of the kang, and just as she made a move to crawl in, she heard He shouted in surprise: "What is in that cage?!"

Willow and Willow put the rabbit and chicken cages in the hut. When they entered the house, they heard Mr. He's question. Willow murmured, "It's a pair of rabbits. ...and ten chicks..."

He turned her head in surprise and stared at Liu Xuer, and when she leaned forward, she wanted to give Liu Xuer: "Why are you so disobedient?! I bought a pair of rabbits and I was not satisfied. Buy a pair! Do you think the money came from a strong wind?! You know our family owes them all…”

"Sister!"

"Sister!"

He Ruyu and He Wenyu stopped almost at the same time, Liu Changgeng also stretched out his hand to protect his daughter, and stopped with a smile: "Oh, I bought it all, what are you talking about? You say you and your child What are you talking about?"

Liu Shu hurriedly ran to the kang and looked up at Mrs. He: "Mother! We bought it with the money you bought for us, and we didn't spend it arbitrarily!" He took out the remaining 60 cents and handed it to her: "This is the remaining money..."

He said angrily: "Also! What are you buying chicks for? You are wasting money! Do you know that chicks can't survive in winter?"

The catkin sticks out her tongue, and the willow and willow forest also climbed up on the kang to warm up.

He then closed the window, because she was worried about the child, she kept the window open and looked outside, the room was still a little hot and the air was dissipated, but now she closed it quickly, and touched the sleeping Liu Sen.

He Ruyu and He Wenyu sat down on the kang again and continued the chat with their sister and brother-in-law.

"This year is indeed much better, Ruyu's embroidery work, mother did not take it seriously at first, father did not ask to do it, said that it is better to raise chickens and pigs well, how much money can I make? I really didn't expect it."

He asked: "I didn't expect it, I remember last year, didn't I just give a few hundred wen? When it was March or a few months this year, I also asked you, was it still in the past? Didn't pay?"

He Ruyu said with a smile: "Last year, the number of knots was small, I didn't have the embarrassment to explain it to you at that time, and I didn't expect to give so much. Last year, it was ordered by the eldest wife of the Gu family. The handmade money of 500 wen. The old lady thought it was too much, and the old Chinese New Year quarreled with the eldest wife about this. Therefore, they gave us a total of hanging money. This year, it was replaced by the second wife. I know how to say it. Anyway, I need more handkerchiefs and more wages. They say that as long as we do embroidery well, it will increase! This year, after you asked about it, it took only ten days to knot it, and it was all at once. Seven or two."

What is the old lady and the big lady, Mr. He doesn't understand at all, but he understands the last sentence, more than seven taels! She widened her eyes in surprise, then took a handkerchief from He Ruyu's hand and looked at it over and over: "Just this little thing can earn more than seven taels of silver... Is it true?" She watched for a long time without seeing anything. He handed it to Liu Changgeng.

She meant that she was too surprised, and asked Liu Changgeng to see how this 'little thing' was worth so much money, but how could Liu Changgeng understand it! I didn't even plan to pick it up, but asked Liu Xuer to reach out to pick it up and looked at it with a smile.

She has seen this kind of handkerchief last time, but the handkerchief in her hand is completely different from the one she gave to my sister-in-law last time. This handkerchief is not silk first, it is more silk than silk A little thicker, it should be used in winter: "Auntie, what kind of material is this? Cotton?"

He Ruyu shook his head: "This is Yunjin forging, it is soft and comfortable to the touch, just like cotton, but it has a jacquard pattern." He pointed to Liu Xuer.

He smiled over there: "How can she understand!"

Liu Xuer lowered her head and looked carefully.

He Wenyu said: "My mother is anxious to come at home, and I am afraid that my uncle and aunt will be overwhelmed. After thinking about it for a few days, I came up with this idea, and asked Ruyu to come over and teach you some embroidery skills. Whatever it is, you can…”

"It's not embroidery, it's embroidery." He Ruyu explained.

He Wenyu nodded: "That's right, that's what it means, you can't move while sitting on the kang, so you can learn embroidery, and you can also make something to supplement your family."

Liu Changgeng also kept nodding: "It's still thoughtful by my mother-in-law! This is indeed a good idea." He scratched his head.

Liu Xuer was the happiest when she heard this: "What a great idea! It's great."

He smiled 'puchi': "What are you happy about, what's the matter with you?"

"I can also learn from Auntie!" Liu Xuer said, and then asked He Ruyu: "Auntie, didn't you say it last time, isn't it good to pass on other people's craftsmanship?"

He Ruyu smiled: "What I teach is nothing but ordinary writing, and some other patterns I figured out by myself, which are not the same as her Su embroidery... We country people are not so particular, exquisite Just a little bit, it looks good."

Liu Xuer then understood, and then hurriedly called: "I want to learn too!" I thought to myself, this is great! I was going to find my aunt, but now it's easier.

She picked up the piece of brocade material, took Liu Sen's hand out of the quilt, and made a gesture to see if it was enough to cut out four pieces.

Yes, when she saw the second young grandmother and young master of the ancient family in Shicheng's store, she already had an idea and wanted to make a pair of rabbit fur gloves according to the modern glove style.

Of course it is the kind of cotton gloves that children wear, only a thumb, not five-finger gloves.

Since Shicheng said that the Gu family is a nouveau riche, and I heard what my aunt said just now, it seems that the head of the Gu family has been replaced by the second wife, who has made a lot of money, then, if it is a coincidence, maybe his own rabbit The wool gloves will have a chance to be favored by the second wife or today's second young grandmother.

Of course, the chance of this coincidence is very small, but of course Liu Xuer will not wait for the coincidence to fall on her head, of course she will find a way.

My aunt is here too, and her plan can be implemented.

That night, Liu Xuer took the cloth head that was not used at home and drew a hand shape according to Liu Sen's little hand, cut out two pieces, simply sewed the seam, and turned it over to bring it to Liu Sen.

He and He Ruyu felt good when they saw it, and Liu Xuer took the opportunity to tell He Ruyu that she wanted to make a pair of such gloves and stuff them with rabbit fur.

"Auntie, the piece of cloud brocade you brought is made of outer skin, stuffed with rabbit fur, and then embroidered with flowers, isn't it very good? Even people in the city saw it, and they also Want a pair?"

He Ruyu smiled and nodded: "It's okay..." She immediately thought of a question: "Then what should you do with your wrist? It's not the same, it slips off as soon as you drop your hand?"

Liu Xuer hurriedly smiled and said: "I have already thought about it, Aunt Shi taught me to make a purse, the purse mouth is not buried in the thread, and then the two sides are pulled to close the mouth? This glove? It can be the same.”

He Ruyu thought about it for a while, then clapped her hands and smiled: "Oh! It's really possible."

He smiled: "You just think about it all day, what are you doing with this?"

Liu Xuer turned her head: "It must be useful!" Then she went to grind He Ruyu and taught her how to embroider and how to lock.

He Ruyu originally came to teach them this, and naturally he taught them carefully, and He was also studying seriously beside him.

There is no woman in this era who can't work as a woman, but women in the countryside are much rougher in terms of women's work, because they usually do rough work. Shoes, embroider an insole, and sometimes make two pieces of clothes for children. The general requirement is that the stitches are fine and can be seen. There are very few people who specialize in embroidery, let alone Shu embroidery and Su embroidery.

Therefore, don't look at Mrs. Ho making clothes all day long, but now, she started like Liu Xuer.

The mother and daughter studied together here for a whole day, and Liu Sen was too noisy at night, so He Ruyu and Liu Xuer came to sleep.

He Wenyu came purely with her younger sister. Although He Ruyu came from her elder sister's house, she was in another village. It was inconvenient for her to be a young girl. Heart.

He Ruyu taught mother and daughter embroidery, and He Wenyu did some work for their family. Chopping wood, ordering tools, basically all the work a man's house does in winter is covered by him.
