Chapter 316: Inquire about the news

Zhu Dongmei fiddled with this flower fabric, Xia Qinghe was a little curious, and she made two sets of clothes for Zhu Dongmei in winter. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

I didn't expect to buy it again today, I was worried about what Zhu Dongmei wanted to buy without silver on weekdays, so I would give Zhu Dongmei a little pocket money every once in a while.

Zhu Dongmei said that she wanted to save a dowry for herself, but today she was willing to spend money to buy cloth for herself! She felt that something was wrong, so she asked curiously: "What do you do when you buy cloth?"

Zhu Dongmei cherished the cloth in her hand, looked at Xia Qinghe with a smile, the scar on her face was much lighter, she had bought a little ointment from Dr. Yao for Zhu Dongmei before.

"My sister-in-law has a baby, I want to make two sets of clothes for the baby, the cloth is so expensive, I picked this cloth for a long time, Sister Qinghe, do you think this cloth looks good?"

Xia Qinghe smiled and said: "It's good-looking, this cloth is good-looking, but the child is born with delicate skin, I think it's good, I'll give you silver, how about you buy cloth, buy that kind of better cloth." ”

Zhu Dongmei was embarrassed, lowered her head and said timidly: "Sister Qinghe, don't give me the silver, you have given me dozens of dollars during this time, and it is useless for me to take the silver." ”

Although she wants to save the dowry silver, she still talks about it, Xia Qinghe is in charge of food and housing, and the clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter are all prepared for her, even when her mother is there, she has not been so good to her.

She thinks that it is not easy for Xia Qinghe to make money, and when she sells starch, she gets up early every day and is greedy for darkness, and she doesn't know how tired she is.

And her brother also spent so much money on his brother when he got married, and Xia Qinghe was in charge of the expenses of this family, originally, Xia Qinghe didn't have to do this, but he had been paying for her family, and she was grateful for this kind of affection.

Xia Qinghe glanced back at Zhu Xiaochang's room, estimating that the husband and wife were happy in the room because of the child's affairs, she whispered to Zhu Dongmei: "Didn't you tell your sister-in-law that this is to make clothes for the child." ”

Zhu Dongmei nodded: "I didn't tell my sister-in-law, I just want to do it secretly, you also know that my needlework is not very good, I want to learn to do it and give it a try." ”

Xia Qinghe was very concerned: "I have never seen a child's clothes made of this kind of fabric, this floral cloth is beautiful to make a skirt for you, but you have to use a softer and softer clothes to make clothes for children, I will go to the town tomorrow, when the time comes, we will choose a good fabric, and the child's clothes will not use much fabric." ”

Zhu Dongmei was moved, she touched the fabric in her hand, it was indeed very hard, if she really wanted to make clothes for the child, I was afraid that it would be a little unsuitable.

"Thank you, Sister Qinghe, you still want to be more thoughtful, I will pay you back the silver slowly. "She's really embarrassed, she owes Xia Qinghe too much.

After saying this, Xia Qinghe directly gave her a roll of his eyes and complained: "You still need to talk about this between me and me? You usually help make starch, and I don't pay you any salary, and it's not easy for you to have a child." ”

Zhu Dongmei hurriedly said: "Sister Qinghe, don't say that, if you don't give our brothers and sisters a home, our brothers and sisters don't know what it's like, my brother is right, you are the benefactor of our family, if it weren't for you, we really don't know what to do." ”

Xia Qinghe heard this sentence many times, and was noncommittal to Zhu Dongmei's politeness.

"Don't say that, your brothers and sisters have helped me a lot, if you really say who is good to whom, your brothers and sisters are not bad to me, this matter is decided, there is nothing to do tomorrow, these days have a good rest, when the weather is good, we will start to do other things, thinking about it until the New Year. ”

She wants to make vermicelli, and the starch she buys is about several thousand catties, these are all white flowers, and she is afraid that it will resurge and spoil after a long time.

Zhu Dongmei doesn't have any opinions, she supports everything Xia Qinghe does, and she is also down-to-earth when she is busy.

"Then I'll go to town with you tomorrow, and I'll go back to my house first." ”

Xia Qinghe made dinner, Zhu Xiaochang and Zhu Dongmei came out, Qinglian was shy, Xia Qinghe handed the food box to Qinglian: "You make a meal, you send it to your father and mother, and we will eat together when we come back." ”

Qinglian had long wanted to tell her father and mother about this happy event, and Zhu Xiaochang took the initiative to deliver food on weekdays, Xia Qinghe understood that she wanted her to say a few words to her mother, smiled gratefully, and went to the old house with the food box.

Zhu Xiaochang smiled stupidly, his face was full of joy: "Qinghe, I'm going to be a father." ”

Xia Qinghe was also very happy: " Yes, you have to be a father, when there are children, our family will become more and more lively, recently I called the old porcelain craftsman in the firing of other porcelain, are often used by farmers, I pondered, there are a lot of people back and forth in our house, people from several nearby villages will come to our house to sell things, when the time comes, put some clay pots in the yard, someone will sell them, so you can make a few bucks, the old porcelain craftsman is very good, next year you still need him to help do things, and you have to follow the learning craft, I plan to ask him to continue to do. ”

Porcelain burning is a very hard job, but she wants Zhu Xiaochang to have the ability to survive, and she has been planning what will happen after she leaves, so she has been planning for Zhu Xiaochang.

Zhu Xiaochang was very moved, Xia Qinghe didn't have to do this at all, but for him, it can be said that he really did what many people couldn't do.

"Qinghe, thank you, by the way, when I went to town today, I heard something about the border pass. He frowned when he said this, because the news he heard was not very good news, and he also began to worry about Xiao Chulai.

Xia Qinghe was about to inquire about the border pass, but he didn't expect Zhu Xiaochang to hear this, and hurriedly asked, "You tell me about the border pass." ”

Now, all the news at the border gate is related to Xiao Chu, and she doesn't want to let go of a little bit about Xiao Chu.

He frowned slightly and said: "Some time ago, the border pass was defeated one after another, and the general of the border pass, General Li, was also injured, and then the king of Yan came to the border pass, and the soldiers won the battle one after another, but the military salary of the imperial court was robbed, and now the border pass is short of clothes and food, and I heard that it is very bitter." ”

Zhu Xiaochang's words shocked Xia Qinghe, this was the first time he heard about the border pass, and he was even more worried about Xiao Chulai, lack of clothes and less food, what to do if it was so hard.

The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became: "How is this good, I don't know how Xiao Chu is at the border gate, I will go to inquire about some more news tomorrow." ”
