When I got up early in the morning, Mrs. Cheng scolded, and after breakfast, the whole Cheng family was lifeless, Mrs. Westinghouse was holding the soles of her shoes, and Cheng Lao was sitting on the bench with a bamboo basket.

In this kind of place in the poor countryside, it takes a lot of energy to make a pair of shoes, the white flour is boiled in a pot into a paste, and the thickness of the sole is glued into a layer of cloth and a layer of paste, cut into a shoe pattern, and the surrounding of the shoe sample is pressed neatly on the solid cloth wrapping, and the sole is densely covered with hemp rope, so that the sole can also withstand grinding.

Mrs. Cheng made a pair of one-inch soles, the size of which was worn by Cheng Lao Khan, and there were a few pairs of sizes around her, but the family was a family, and when Wang came in, his eyes flashed, and he sat on the kang.

"Speaking of the mother is the most careful, this early on our shoes are made, I still think about this spring shoes to do today, eyes will be troublesome. Wang laughed twice and didn't see her mother-in-law speak, and secretly cursed a few words in her heart.

"Mother, anyway, there is no sister-in-law and peach blossom this year, you don't have to be in such a hurry, the family has less than two acres of land, and it is not as busy as in previous years, and these shoes are not in a hurry to wear, don't be tired. ”

Mrs. Cheng took a sip of her hand, "I'm so old, you can stare at it when you make a few pairs of shoes, and I'm not afraid of flashing your tongue, these shoes don't have the boss's side, and there are no yours' side, how can I not know if you're careful, don't stare at me every day, and think more about how to make some money." ”

Wang pointed to the shoe sample on the kang, "Those pairs of sizes are not made for Lin Zi, who is it for?

No wonder Wang stared at these pairs of shoes, not to mention that the soles of the shoes would take time and effort, how much white flour had to be spent, a pound of white flour was ten yuan, and it was not something that ordinary people could eat, that is, they could only buy a few threads when making shoes, only to keep it for paste, and it was difficult to find this rag, and the family did not fill in clothes for a few years, and the clothes were torn and mended, where to find the remaining rags to make clothes?

They all went to the ready-to-wear shop to buy some cloth, and they also cost more than a dozen yuan, and it was a big expense for them to make shoes this year.

Wang's needlework is not good on weekdays, and there is no opportunity to earn private money, even if she got money from Mrs. Cheng, she bought a few of them, and she was willing to take them out.

"It's for your sister-in-law's family, don't you just want me to say this?" Mrs. Cheng suddenly played a trick and cried loudly, "My life is so bitter, they all say that raising children to prevent old age, I have raised a wrongdoer to pit myself, and my daughter will also be implicated, and I will also suffer from the face of my mother-in-law, I can't make a pair of shoes for my child, only I, a useless mother, will make a pair, but I will also be blamed by my daughter-in-law." ”

Mrs. Cheng suddenly cried and shouted, the Wang family had long been used to it, and she didn't take it seriously, but she didn't want to say more, she got up and left stupidly, she couldn't eat mutton, but she made a fuss, and the Wang family had long been used to it.

However, she is thick-skinned, and she is the kind of person who becomes more and more courageous the more she loses, so that she has a fight with Mrs. Cheng.

In the east room, Peach Blossom was learning to do needlework with Zhang, Mrs. Cheng suddenly cried, so that she was startled, and the needle in her hand almost pierced her hand.
