Chapter 38: The Aunt of the Baoshan Family
Since then, grandma and mother have been making shoes in their free time, and the brother and sister have two pairs of shoes, and the soles of the shoes alone are one shoe basket. At night, grandma and mother pierced the soles of their shoes, and grandpa helped twist the hemp into fine hemp rope.
Grandma bought two cents of embroidery thread at the Zhangji Market. During the day, the light is good, and when I have time, I embroider flowers on the upper of Yoyo and Didi's shoes, and the bright colored silk threads embroider the gorgeous patterns, some of them are budding and verdant, and some are blooming vigorously, and the flowers are like brocade. These embroidered flowers are lifelike.
Didi's tiger head shoes are even more beautiful, a few strands of colorful silk threads have become a vibrant tiger face in the hands of grandma, with a snow-white peach nose, a black hole in the tiger's eyes, and a pink lotus face, which makes people want to see it.
Seeing that Yoyo couldn't wait, grandma made it for her first. As soon as the new shoes were made, I hurriedly put them on, and they were a little pinched, not as comfortable as imagined. Grandma looked at the little bitter gourd face and smiled, took off her shoes, rubbed them hard, and then helped her put them on, which was soft and comfortable and fit her very well.
"The new shoes are on the feet, the more comfortable they are. "Life is full of learning.
After making deep shoes, grandma made shallow shoes for the brothers and sisters, and listened to the stabbing and stabbing sound of the soles of the shoes every night, and Yoyo felt so warm.
Embroidered with flowers, grandma and mother chatted, and pulled up the dispute between Baoshan Niang and her sister-in-law.
Grandma Baoshan is young and widowed, pulling a pair of young children, spicy and difficult, and notoriously stingy. Therefore, when Baoshan's father grew up, it was very difficult to get engaged, and he married a daughter from a poor family in his twenties.
Baoshan Niang can't eat enough at her mother's house, how can she have the money to buy embroidery thread. As soon as I got married, I saw that my sister-in-law bought embroidery thread, so I wanted to make a pair of embroidered shoes to wear. How do you know, when I talked to my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law said disgustedly: "If you want to wear floral shoes, let your man buy embroidery thread, don't pay attention to me." ”
A man's penny is not at home, no matter how cheap the embroidery thread is, no matter how cheap it is, he can't buy it, so Baoshan Niang cried and tore off the flowers on the upper. Embroidered shoes became her heart disease, and she never mentioned embroidered shoes again, even if her life was better in the future, her daughters learned to embroider, and they did not let their children do it.
Baoshan's aunt loved vanity, and after liberation, she also found a landlord in-law. Baoshan's grandmother was confused, and said complacently: "That is, this year's scene, otherwise how can our children enter the door of this big family." ”
Who knew that the ingredients became more and more important later, especially during the turmoil, Aunt Baoshan took her children to her parents' house in order to avoid criticism. Because Baoshan Niang has no son, she is not less idle by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. It was only in these two years that Baoshan was born before he stood up.
Aunt Baoshan also did enough in her mother's house, bullied her sister-in-law, not to mention it, and even her nieces did not let go, and lived the life of a landlord's wife in her mother's house, calling her nieces as maids. When Baoshan's eldest sister got married, her mother-in-law gave a lot of dowry, so she accompanied two high-backed chairs.
Baoshan's father didn't agree, and the brother and sister had a conflict for the first time. The reason for her crying is: "Look at the Han branch secretary, how do people treat my sister, why don't you follow the study." ”
Grandma was still angry when she said this, "How can she have the face to say it, she just dislikes others, and she doesn't want to think about what she did." ”
Baoshan's father didn't have a son, and he had no hope for life, and everything was up to his mother. Since he had Baoshan, he also began to plan for his son, and the first thing he did was to cut off contact with his sister.
Besides, his sister is used to being domineering in her mother's family, and even her nephew is more horizontal than his child, and her daughter is not angry, but her son is not good. Aunt Baoshan cried and shouted and quarreled with her brother a few times, and no one in the village took care of her, not even a person to persuade her, and she had no face, so she went back to her mother-in-law's house.
