Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Bottom of a Thousand Layers

Su Ling asked everyone to wash their hands and took snacks and preserves for the children to eat. A group of children chirping, like a flock of happy birds, is very attractive.

"Sister Xin'er, your dim sum is so delicious. Xiaohua said with a smile.

"I didn't make this snack myself, but I bought it from the town. But my sister will make more delicious snacks, when you come to my house to play, I'll make it for you, okay?"

These children are five or six years old, which is the age of fun. Listening to the children, Su Ling knew that the older children had gone to help the adults, that is, they were too young, and it was too cumbersome for the adults to follow them, so let them play by themselves.

However, such a big child does not need to be taken care of, and he can take care of himself. Few of the children in the village go to school, and most of them do that, the younger ones play around, and the older ones help the adults. Chopping wood, cooking, washing clothes, digging wild vegetables, feeding chickens and pigs, there are many things that half-grown children can do anyway.

It's already very helpful to the family, so half-grown children can't play around, they all have to help the family do things.

"Yes!" the children laughed.

After sitting for a while, Su Ling also stood up to leave, and the children were a little reluctant to her. She rubbed the children's heads, "Tomorrow this time, if you are okay, come to my house to play!" Everyone knows that she bought the house of the Bolt family, and knows where she lives.

"Okay. The children all smiled and agreed.

After leaving the Fang family, Su Ling also returned to his home. looked at the other gift on the table, and then carried it to Yan's house. I heard Xiaohua say that there is an old grandmother in the Yan family who has never worked in the field, so if she didn't go to other people's houses, she would be at home every day.

Since there will be someone at home, Su Ling also thinks about going there. Her house and the Fang family are both above the main road, but the Yan family is at the bottom of the road, and there is a small road to go down. There is a relatively wide road in the village, which is called the main road.

Most of the people in the village live above and below the main road.

Just up and down the road, it's really close. When Su Ling arrived at the Yan family, the layout of the Yan family was similar to that of the Fang family, as if most of the houses in the village were not surrounded on all sides. Most of them are just a row of houses, and then a courtyard, so that it is open, and there is no gate.

The courtyard of the Yan family is relatively large, and some fruit trees are planted, and in the middle is a jujube tree, which is very thick and strong, and the branches are flourishing, and it should be able to bear a lot of jujube every year.

There was an old woman with gray hair sitting under a date palm tree with the soles of her shoes. The shoes of the mille-feuille sole are very comfortable to wear, but it takes a lot of effort to make the jacket, cut the bottom, wrap the edge, glue, circle bottom, the bottom, the bottom of the mallet, each process has clear and strict and meticulous requirements.

The sole is a very tiring process, so thick sole, a stitch and a thread of the sole is enough to spend effort, but also to be very fine, so that the shoes can be durable.

Su Ling entered the door, put down the gift, and explained his intention.

"Sit down, you girl is so delightful. Grandma Yan looked at Su Ling with a smile, "It's just that the things should be taken back! Since they are all neighbors, there is no need to spend so much." ”

"It's just a snack, for the children to eat, Grandma Yan, don't be polite to me. I'm new to move in, I'm afraid there will be a lot of places to ask for people in the future, what is there at home, and I have to ask the neighbors for help!" Su Ling looked at the old man's soles carefully.

She never knew the process, because she had watched the old people in the village do it in her previous life. Although all kinds of shoes were available on the street at that time, some elderly people still retained the habit of wearing a thousand layers of soles.

Occasionally, when I am free, I will make some of them, and the shoes I make are comfortable to wear. But at that time, she was too tired to look at the soles of her shoes, so she never learned to do it herself. Now here, although she can also hire someone to make shoes.

However, it seems that it is time to learn a little bit as well. It's always better to be able to do it yourself! In this place, if a woman doesn't do these things, she will be laughed at, especially by the people in the village. The people in the village are often poor, so naturally they can't buy everything.

Therefore, I still have to buy clothes and shoes, and I have to buy materials and make them myself. It doesn't matter if it looks good or not, the important thing is durability.

"Countryman, don't say yes, if you have something, just shout. As long as I can help, I will definitely help. The old man smiled, "Does the girl like the soles of these shoes?"

"Yes, I really want to learn, I've never accepted this sole!" Su Ling said with some embarrassment.

"You little girl also want to learn how to make shoes? Such a big little girl! It's rare to be able to calm down. "The grandmother of the Yan family seriously told Su Ling how to make zuò thousand layer bottoms. "If you don't understand, I'll do it all over again when I come." Look at it! ”

"Okay! When will you do it, grandma, just call me to come and see!" "Grandma Yan is a very amiable grandmother. The soles of the shoes look so serious, and there is a very kind feeling all over the body.

After talking to the Yan family's grandmother for a while, Su Ling went home first. It's been a long time. She went to see the vegetable garden next to the house, and there was a large vegetable garden beside the house, almost an acre of land.

She bought the house at that time, but the owner gave her the garden without any additional money. She was still thinking about whether she could buy the master's land, but the owner's family had no intention of selling the land.

Fields are the foundation of rural people, and houses can be sold, but fields will not be sold lightly. There is a field, and there is no need to worry about eating. The master's family gave up all the fields, harvested some grain every year, and saved the family money to buy rations.

But having a vegetable garden is not bad, but she has no field and can't grow food, but she lives alone and can't eat much food. There are shops selling grain in the town, and the price is not expensive, just buy some after a while.

Su Ling looked at the vegetable garden, and the plan was very orderly. There are also a lot of vegetables planted in the vegetable garden, and the host family has moved away, but he has not moved all the vegetables, so there are still a lot of vegetables in the vegetable field. There are cabbage, greens, broad beans, radish, fennel, coriander, onion and garlic.

In the south, the winter is not too cold, and many vegetables can be safely spent in winter, and there are many vegetables to eat at this time. She had also bought some vegetable seeds from the town and came back thinking that she would grow some vegetables.

Now it seems that there is no need to plant it for the time being, and you can wait for these vegetables to fail before planting other vegetables. However, these dishes really have to be eaten quickly, and the original owner has a large vegetable garden because of the large population of the family, and there are really a lot of vegetables planted.

But now that she's alone, she really can't eat so many dishes. Or she can dry some vegetables, pickle some sauerkraut, and keep it to eat slowly. Dried vegetables and sauerkraut can be left for a long time, but there is no waste of so many dishes.
