Chapter 78: Cotton Clothes

Shi Gui took the light bamboo and pulled the cloth outside to buy cotton, with such a thing, even the painting was put in the back of his mind, the people from the other garden were coming, and he could ask if the harvest was good in the autumn, and if the harvest was good, Lanxi Village would not be bad.

The kung fu of her hands, several girls have never seen it, seeing her spread out the cloth, take β–‘β–‘ strips to draw a pattern to cut, it is amazing, this age can be tailored, how is it rare.

Ye Wenxin knew that she was going to give her father and brother, so she simply gave her a few days off: "You have also learned the words of these times, take my pen and ink to write a letter to the family, and it is not in vain to worship me as a teacher." ”

Shi Gui knew that she meant to say this, and she deserved to be extraordinarily crisp, and she had a lot of things to say in her heart, wanting Qiu Niang not to work so hard, and wanting to ask Shi Dad if it was hard to run a boat, and the most important thing was whether his younger brother was studying.

Whether it is in this era or in the next hundred years, the only way for people in poor mountain villages to get ahead is to study, whether they can become officials in the future, their identities are different, and their classes are different.

Shi Gui has said this truth more than a hundred times, but no matter how much she said it, she was still a little girl who was taken care of by her parents' side, but now it is different, saying that she has gained more knowledge and knowledge in the Song family, and Hu Bian also wants to make up a story in the middle of the lift, so that Xizi can study, and the family will get rid of poverty from the roots.

The characters are all ready-made, take Song Mian as an example, Shi Guiguang feels full of enthusiasm when he thinks about it, he makes a dress for Shi Dad, plus leggings to protect his waist, and running a boat is also a hard job, and the family has the money she left, so he will buy the field, according to his father's temperament, he wants to let them enter the city, but he can't do it anymore.

Qiu Niang is wearing a red dress, Xizi is also the same red clothes and black pants, he is almost six years old, there should be a neat dress, but these shoes are difficult to make, when Shi Gui left home, he brought two ropes with him, which were cut off according to the feet of Qiu Niang and the stone, these two pieces of hemp rope rested under the burden, and the mountains and rivers were brought out far away, and they had to do the last paragraph.

The cloud head of Qiu Niang's winter shoes is embroidered with peony flowers, Xizi's small backpack is embroidered with three friends of the year, and even the waist guard of the stone father is embroidered with Taiping Ruyi.

There were two cotton bales in the hut, Shi Gui had never made cotton clothes, and there was no grandmother-in-law at this time, so she played a corner of wine, and invited the mother-in-law on the door to eat and drink, and the mother-in-law divided the cotton for her, and told sΓΉ that the cotton clothes had a sleeve and a sleeve plug, which was stuffed and put on the body to try.

It took Shi Gui a day of hard work to make the two sleeves, and the woman smiled: "A cotton coat is not worth a few dollars, why not make it yourself, take the material and send it to the back alley, and spend a few wages." ”

Not everyone can go into the house as an errand, if you can't pick it up, you can go in the back alley, and pick up some manual work of sticking decals and sticking boxes outside to help supplement the family, and if there is a good job, the girls in it are willing to let them do it, but it costs more materials and pays a few wages.

Shi Gui thought that his own work was different, and secondly, he didn't want Mrs. Zheng to know, so he shook his head: "This is for my father's mother, so naturally I have to make it myself and send it over, and I don't know when I can see you again." ”

The woman laughed loudly, this is not a good mouth, Shi Gui tailored, she helped to divide the cotton, this is new cotton, soft and warm, Shi Gui's family did not wear a reed flower clothes when they were poor, Qiu Niang wrapped her in old cotton clothes and put her on the head of the bed, and the room was still so cold that people's bones trembled.

While doing it, I remembered the days in Lanxi Village, every year to this time is a good time to go up the mountain to hunt rabbits, Stone Daddy does not talk much, but he is a good hand at work, he will set up a trap to catch rabbits, peel off the skin and sell it, and the meat will be left to eat at home. Winter bamboo shoots made by Qiu Niang

Roast rabbit meat makes people drool when they think about it.

Wait for Ye Wenxin to ask how the countryside is next time, Shi Gui told her this: "The fatter it is, the more fragrant, the roasted and stewed are fragrant, if you catch the mother rabbit, you must put it back, and wait for the next year to regenerate the rabbit, at this time the rabbit coat color is rarely good, if it is gray and black, make a flower collar for my grandmother, and give her the cold." ”

Yu mother-in-law has nothing to want, with a flower collar, and wants wool shoes, if the way is good, this time can put on three or five, if it is unlucky, it will all belong to the mother-in-law, Qiu Niang will not compete with her at this end.

Qiong Ying knew that Ye Wen liked to listen to this, so she smiled and joked: "Just to hear you say that you are hungry, or the girl will be the master today, and reward us with roast rabbit meat?"

Ye Wenxin ate less meat, but nodded in response, Qiong Ying took two hangs of money to pass the kitchen, gathered the brazier at night, and ate barbecue, but the others in this courtyard don't like meat, and they can't send it if they want to, a total of five rabbits, all of which are eaten in the secluded grate.

The meat is marinated in the material first, because I heard Shi Gui say that he has never eaten so finely, and the whole half is roasted, and it is not elegant in the end, so he cut the meat into long strips, and took a long and short iron fork to roast it, and the legs were burnt and fragrant, sprinkled with fragrant powder and bay leaves, and everyone got half of it.

Ye Wenxin didn't even think it smelled bad, everyone else was eating meat, she was a poet, and she didn't want others to care, she ate wine with them, spread out the paper and pen at home, and said that she wanted to make an article.

Even Ye Wenlan smelled the fragrance, but Ye Wenxin kneaded the paper and pushed him to eat roast meat, and in September, his mouth was full of oil, Shi Gui went to the kitchen to get a baking pancake, tore off the rabbit meat and ate it, the fat and thin ones were sandwiched together and rolled in the cake to eat.

Mama Feng was happy to see Ye Wenxin playing, and also sent a bottle of hawthorn jujube mud balls to them to eat, and they were full one by one, opened the window to disperse the smell, and lit fragrant cakes to smoke the house full of meat and flowers.

Shi Gui is still in a hurry at night, and the head of the village is not sure which day it will arrive, and he will send New Year's goods to the newspaper, and he will leave immediately, Chunyan can help her carry things It is already very good, and she can't ask someone else to wait for her.

Seeing her work hard, September came over to help: "What year do you have to do this, and what can I help?"

In the end, I still invited my mother-in-law to help, and Yu mother-in-law's Shi Gui didn't do it myself, so I hurriedly made it, and there were two big bags just by wrapping my clothes in Chaolan cloth.

The finished clothes still have to be dried, Shi Gui hung the clothes in the yard, and his hands were still doing work, and when the sun was hot, he went to turn it over, Ye Wenxin hugged the hand stove by the window, and was stunned.

Qiong Ying looked out and smiled: "There are more and more rules, the girl still has to watch the scene, she fell on the bamboo and dried her clothes." As he spoke, he was about to go out and ask Shi Gui to put things away.

Ye Wenxin stopped her: "Let her go." Before the words fell, Mama Feng brought someone to send the cage over, and the Ye family sent Lilly, lined up five large Nanmu boxes, and put them full of things.

In addition to the clothes and materials, there are also beads and gems in Mama Feng's hands, and even the incense powder has a box, Mama Feng smiled and said, "This is for the girl." ”

Ye Wen asked anxiously: "Does my mother have a letter?"

Mama Feng still had that smile on her face: "Mrs. is sick, although she is better, but she can't work hard, the master wrote a letter, and the girl took a closer look." ”

Ye Wen's heart changed color, but Mama Feng didn't follow Shen's letter, she was sad, she took out the letter and handed it to her, Qiong Ying took the letter and opened the silver knife, she didn't want to open it now, so she had to open it, and read the letter with her back to someone.

A hasty sweep is just to let her get closer to the Song family, saying that it is a good family, the old lady and the old lady will love her very much, and these things sent to her, let her pick some gifts for the year, and then ask her to supervise Ye Wenlan to study. The last sentence is to let her just be normal, not to cater to others, and let her write letters to comfort her mother and prevent her from being distracted from illness.

If Ye Wenxin hadn't opened the letter, Xu would have believed that his father was really planning for her, but at this time, he frowned coldly, and after reading it, he folded the letter and stuffed it into the makeup box.

Mama Feng saw that she didn't immediately lay out the paper and write a letter, and laughed: "If the girl has something to bring, it is better to write a letter, and I will ask someone to send it back quickly." ”

This is urging her to write a letter, Ye Wenxin's family letter, how can she not lift the pen, there are thousands of words to say to Shen, but not a word can be written: "I can't say it in a hurry, the people who come have to wait for a few days, tell them to wait." ”

But first opened the box, and took out the clothes and materials inside, pearl crowns, diamonds, flowers, in addition to these well-made jewelry, there are also rough stones, this is ready for her to give away, even the married girl did not prepare so much.

Ye Wenxin's house was full of furnishings, wool went out to make big clothes, brilliant brocade five-colored gemstones, spread out to pierce people's eyes, a box of beads and a box of gems, Ye Wenxin looked at it once, and casually pointed to two satins: "This reward is for you to make clothes to wear." ”

The rose purple one was given to the big girl, and the begonia red one was given to a few little girls, as a new dress in the New Year's Festival, one person always has five feet, and it is enough to make a jacket, but Mama Feng said: "This is for you to wear than the armor, and there will be new clothes and hair in the year." ”

Shi Gui has a job in his hands, and it is effortless to make a match, so he put away the materials first, and made winter clothes for Qiu Niang, two large packages were tied tightly, and he took the letter paper, polished the ink and wrote a letter to the family.

When I picked up the pen, I wanted to say that I wanted to redeem her home as soon as possible, but when I got the pen, it became that she was living well in the master's house, and she was generous and did not scold, she was well fed and warmly dressed, and she also followed the girl to read and write, and asked the family how the family was, whether the stone father's back disease was completely better, and the last time she deposited the things of her grandmother-in-law, did she get it at home.

These words alone filled three sheets of paper, and Master Yao was gone, and the village did not know if there was a new message, and if anyone read the letter for the family.

When Shi Gui sent the two big bags of clothes to Chunyan, Chunyan looked stunned, and then she didn't expect that it would take only three or five years of effort, she actually did so much, and smiled when she saw it: "How many nights have you stayed up?" ”

The lord accepted the bag of clothes and instructed the mother-in-law to hand it over: "It's not easy to send it, and it's still in the other garden, so you can take it when your father and mother ask for the letter." ”

Originally, it was also a matter of luck, but seeing that Shi Gui had done so much, he couldn't bear it, but Shi Gui nodded and smiled: "I have agreed with my mother, she will go and get it." ”
