Xia Xiaomo suddenly said: "But I don't know anything, will it make people laugh?" ”

Chen Zhiping smiled: "You're different!" Besides, now we won't live that kind of poor life in the future, I want you to live a happy life, how can I let you do those rough jobs! ”

Xia Xiaomo said movingly: "Zhiping, you are so good!" Then tell me about making cloth shoes, I would love to know how cloth shoes are made. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Chen Zhiping smiled: "Actually, it's easy to say. Making cloth shoes is a skill that rural girls have to learn before they get married. Generally speaking, they are taught by their mothers, and some are taught by their sisters and sisters-in-law. To make cloth shoes, you first have to find the bamboo shoot shell in the bamboo forest, and then the whole family puts their feet on the bamboo shoot shell, which is equivalent to measuring the size, according to the size of the foot, and then cut the bamboo shoot shell into the shape of the sole, and then find the rags at home, layer by layer, and then sew it with twine, which is the sole of the shoe. Then, it is necessary to make the upper, the inside is a white cloth with a lamp grass velvet cloth outside, and there are some chores in front of the face, that is, the thread is tied with the shoe mouth cloth strip, and it is generally purchased to cover the shoe mouth with a narrow edge, a thread and a shoe buckle, which require ingenious people to do well. ”

Xia Xiaomo said: "Our mother's craftsmanship must be very good, I wore her cloth shoes, and it felt very soft!" ”

Chen Zhiping remembered that his mother had been a member of this family for more than ten years, and had worked hard all her life, her hands were full of calluses, her heart was sour, and she couldn't hold tears in her eyes, so she choked up: "Yes!" My mother has made cloth shoes for a lifetime, and she is also heartbroken for this family, for me and my younger brother, so I vowed early on to let our parents, our family, all live a good life, I hope they can retire early, enjoy their old age in peace, and stop working hard. Now, my wish has finally been preliminarily achieved, I think most of my parents are not used to living in the city, they must still be willing to live here, after all, there is everything they are familiar with, when they get to the city, they will be very uncomfortable, so I plan to take the money next year to renovate this old house, after all, it is too dilapidated, and it is not so comfortable to live in. ”

Xia Xiaomo was also moved by Chen Zhiping's filial piety, she also remembered her parents, didn't she also do her best for her children? Although she knew that her mother was a bit snobbish, she also had a genuine love for the two sisters.

Xia Xiaomo also choked up and said, "Zhiping, let's fight together!" I can't help you much, but I'm willing to do anything for you. ”

Chen Zhiping gently hugged Xia Xiaomo and sighed: "Xiaomo, you are really a good girl!" I feel so lucky to be with you in this life, and I blame me for being too attentive, I'm sorry for you, but I can't be sorry for them, alas1"

Xia Xiaomo buried her head in Chen Zhiping's chest, and said quietly: "Zhiping, I don't blame you!" All of this is arranged by God, I know that several of them really love you, blame you for being too good! ”

The two of them fell asleep in this hug, the next morning Chen Zhiping got up very early, Xia Xiaomo also followed him, it is now the twenty-eighth year of the big year, there are still two days to go is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and there are still many things to do.

After breakfast, the family got busy, Chen Zhiping didn't let his mother do this and that, after all, his mother's illness was not yet cured.

Xia Xiaomo was also very interested in following Chen Zhiping to fight Yangchen. Dusting is a local saying, in fact, it is a big cleaning, sweeping away the dust and cobwebs inside and outside the house, including the roof. When doing this, everyone in the family has to go out, and then put on a straw hat, tie a new broom on a long bamboo pole, and clean the house from top to bottom, and on the tiled houses in the countryside, there will be a lot of cobwebs, and after a long time, there will be a lot of dust, so this is the reason for the dust.

Xia Xiaomo is still participating in this kind of labor for the first time, and she feels very interesting, but the first time she does this, she is naturally inevitably clumsy, and there are always dust cobwebs or something falling on her face, which makes Chen Zhiping laugh, and the room is full of laughter.

The old couple listened to their laughter outside, and they were also very pleased. Now that the eldest son has a career and has found such a beautiful and virtuous daughter-in-law, what are they not satisfied with!

Chen Zhiyuan is also very happy, and at the same time envies his eldest brother, and he has to study hard, strive to be admitted to a key high school, and be admitted to a university in the future. This is what the eldest brother said, originally he wanted to take the secondary school exam, but now that the eldest brother is rich, he listened to the eldest brother's words.

After beating the dust, it is necessary to clean the cage cover, the weather in the past two days is very good, the winter sun is warm, wash the quilt and dry, there is a day or two just dry.

Chen Zhiping and his younger brother Chen Zhiping fetched two picks of water from the well in front of their house and were about to wash. Take out the mosquito nets and quilt covers and pillowcases on the beds at home, put them in a large wooden basin, pour them thoroughly with boiling hot water, and then put laundry detergent on them and scrub them.

Chen Jianjun went to the front of the house and the back of the house to Liyang ditch, which is also something that must be done before the Chinese New Year, if you don't sort out the yang ditch in front of the house and behind the house, the water can't be drained out, the house will be damp, and things are easy to grow mold.

Xia Xiaomo, a girl in the city with fine skin and tender meat, where has she ever done such a thing, just washed it a few times, her hands were rubbed red, and she felt like she was about to peel off her skin.

She looked up at Chen Zhiping and Chen Zhiyuan, but there was nothing wrong with them, so she said depressedly: "Zhiping, why am I so useless, I feel like my hands are going to rub off the skin after just a few washes, but why don't you have anything at all?" ”

Chen Zhiping laughed and said: "Xiaomo, this is a difference between people in the city and people in the countryside, we rural people often do these rough jobs, so the skin on our hands is very thick, not to mention washing these covers or something, even if you reach out to the pot to get a steamed bowl that is not hot, you will not feel hot, but people in the city will definitely not be able to." Okay, you still watch us wash it, and then wash it, your hands are really going to break the skin, and when you go back, your parents will find that your hands are broken, so I have to ask! ”

Xia Xiaomo had to stand up and watch the two brothers wash, feeling extremely depressed, why couldn't she help herself!

After washing a large number of cage covers, it was time to take them to the river to be washed, and the two brothers, Chen Zhiping and Chen Zhiyuan, picked two buckets and picked up these cage covers to the edge of the river. Of course, Xia Xiaomo can also help a little, that is, to help them hold the mallet.

Walking more than 100 meters away, there is a small river about five or six meters wide, the river water is very clear, and now many people come to clean the cage cover! Those neighbors all saw the Chen family brothers coming, followed by a girl who was so beautiful that she came out of the painting, they couldn't help but admire, the eldest son of the old Chen family came out, and now he found a girl in the city, which is amazing.

They all asked Chen Zhiping from afar, and Chen Zhiping also introduced them with a smile, this girl is our wife, Xia Xiaomo also followed Chen Zhiping and called them very generously, and then squatted by the river, watching the two brothers cleaning the cage cover, and there was Qi Le Rong who was talking and laughing.
