After discussing it, it was decided to call all the villagers to the house for a meal. When Uncle Guigen helped deliver the things, Aunt Xu began to inform everyone.

Uncle Guigen was right in front of him, and Aunt Xu was the first to say to him, "Guigen, it's snowing heavily in the past two days, and there's nothing wrong in the house, our Zhenniang still has to move to the village to live in the second (later), don't you have to take care of her more?" Yesterday, I hit a lot of wild things, and Ming'er came to drink a drink. ”

Dr. Xu has good medical skills, he is also kind, some families in the village are really poor and can't open the pot, ask him to see a doctor, he never takes other people's money, in Pingyao Village and even Shanghe Town, Dr. Xu can definitely afford the words of benevolence of doctors.

Therefore, Aunt Xu opened her mouth, and Uncle Guigen agreed, "Ming'er? Okay, Zhenniang's girl is a likable, that craftsmanship, tsk, it's really silly to think about. ”

Aunt Xu really regards Mu Zhen as her own birth, and now others praise her own daughter, like all parents, Aunt Xu is naturally very happy, "Okay, it's decided, come over early after breakfast." ”

After Guigen left, Aunt Xu began to go to other houses to inform again.

Originally, Mu Zhen meant that it was enough to invite those who had a good relationship to come and sit, but after Dr. Xu and his family discussed, they felt that they would invite all the people in one to sit.

Pingyao Village is not a small joke, hundreds of people are invited, it must be a little hurried, but one of them, they are all people from the same yard, how can I say hello, after all, Mu Zhen builds a house, and the help of the big guy is indispensable.

Finally, after the notice, there were about 30 households in a courtyard.

At this time, when you have a meal, the table where everyone sits is a large square table and a large bench, and according to the interface of the table, it is divided into upper and lower seats.

The upper seat is the elder sitting, and the lower seat is generally accompanied by guests. The two people sitting on the table are also particular, the younger one accompanies the older one, in the order of right and left.

The tables are placed in the direction of sitting north and south, with two people sitting in the north and south and three people sitting in the east and west. Of course, this is not necessarily, if there are many guests, three people can sit in the north and south. Just adjust the position of the upper seat, and the oldest person will sit in the middle.

Thirty or so people, Mu Zhen and Aunt Xu discussed, planning to buy four tables, in this way, there are not enough people, you can call a few more, if there are a few more people in the house, and the location is not enough, this is called trouble.

When the two of them discussed, Qi Niang also opened her mouth, "Do you want to make a small table again?" If a doll comes, let them all sit at a small table, so as not to disturb the adults and not be able to eat. ”

Qi Niang's natural appearance is that she treats everyone here as a family member, so she will say it so directly, and Mu Zhen and the others must have happily accepted this Jianyì.

Once you've decided on the number of tables, it's time to get ready to eat.

Today, Uncle Guigen brought it, most of them are pork offal, leaving two pairs of pork belly stew, and the others are all marinated in the pot.

The pheasants I hunted yesterday were all young chickens, and the meat was tender, and I didn't prepare them in advance.

Mu Zhen was busy on the stove, Baozhu was burning the fire, and the two old sisters Xu Niang and Qi Niang were holding the soles of their shoes.

This kind of cloth shoes are also called mille-feuille soles.

Compared with all kinds of leather shoes, high heels, casual shoes and the like in her previous life, Mu Zhen likes this kind of cloth shoes made by herself very much.

Because handmade cloth shoes do not hurt the feet, the shoes are lightweight, easy to walk, do not wrench the feet, and are very comfortable to wear.

However, although it is comfortable to wear, it is more troublesome to make zuò.

The first step is to cut the shoe sample, which is measured according to the size of the individual's foot.

After the shoe pattern is cut, the next step is to beat the shell. This shell is made of palm tree rice dumplings, pasted with bud grain flour or wheat flour, coarse cloth or family clothes, dried in the sun, and cut to size according to the shape of the shoes.

The next work is more cumbersome, and it is also the source of the 'mille-feuille bottom', where the large and small broken steps are put on the bottom shell little by little to fill in, and when it is about palm thick, it is covered with several layers of thick cloth.

And then there's the longest job: the soles.

A pair of soles need at least 10,000 stitches.

The sole is good to make the upper.

Qi Niang pays attention to everything she does, all the cloth shoes made for Mu Zhen Baozhu and herself, the uppers are embroidered.

Anyone who is a daughter-in-law, this cloth shoe must be made, and the shoes of the whole family are made by themselves with stitches and threads.

At this time, it is not popular to buy shoes, so women in this era can be regarded as all-rounders.

In Mu Zhen's words, it means that you have to take care of the family, and you have to take shoes and make clothes, if there is no woman in a family, life is really unbearable.

Last time, Qi Niang prepared new shoes for everyone, and the shameless one in the upper room snatched them.

There is still a month to go before the New Year, and I have to hurry up and give everyone in the house a pair.

However, although the cloth shoes were not taken back, Mu Zhen also gave Qi Niang compensation, and Mu Zhen did not hide the slightest hint of how much silver she lost in the house, and took out ten taels to Qi Niang.

Qi Niang naturally said that she would not ask for anything, and in the end, Mu Zhen persuaded Qi Niang with Qi Niang's desire to buy needlework and fabric.

Although Qi Niang received the money, Mu Zhen also carefully found that when Qi Niang was doing needlework now, the soles were thicker than before, and the threads were bought.

However, what Mu Zhen was thinking about was not what Qi Niang had done before, but she found that she seemed to have overlooked one thing before-although Zhao Mingzhe and them were treated like relatives, they must be embarrassed to ask for money to spend.

Whether it is Zhao Mingzhe, Qi Niang and Baozhu, they must all have their own private affairs to do, and Zhao Mingzhe and his own father-in-law have bought a lot of money. Now they don't have the money in their hands, which is certainly inconvenient.

In the past, it was okay to have a tight house in the house, but now with the two thousand taels of house compensation, the whole number in Mu Zhen's hand is seven thousand taels, although it cannot be compared with the rich man, but in this Pingyao Village, it is estimated that they are the richest in the house.

After thinking about it, Mu Zhen stipulated that every month in the future, everyone in the house would give one or two pieces of pocket money, and they could do whatever they wanted.

When Mu Zhen said this, Zhao Mingzhe and the three of them thought that it was the same as a big family giving a monthly salary to their subordinates, although they felt uncomfortable, but they still refused.

Mu Zhen's life-saving grace, they can't be exhausted in this life, how can they ask for silver.

However, Mu Zhen did not find the abnormality of these three people, but called Mo Xiaocai and Yiqing, "From now on, our family has implemented a system of distributing pocket money, we adults are one or two, Yiqing is twenty Wen, and when Mingzhe and Baozhu have children, it is the same as Yiqing's." Of course, when we have a regular income, we will increase this amount appropriately. ”

These three people thought that this was Mu Zhen who wanted to treat them differently, but they didn't expect that even she and Mo Xiaocai were the same, and they suddenly understood in their hearts, and they were ashamed of their careful thoughts.

What Mu Zhen didn't know was that it was because she treated the family so openly and honestly that they followed her even more desperately.

So much so that after Zhao Mingzhe became Mu Zhen's most powerful assistant, Mu Zhen returned the deed of sale to the two of them, but Zhao Mingzhe said with a smile, "Our family is going to follow you in this life, and this thing is useless to us, I am still used to you sending me pocket money, instead of going to the account to collect it." ”

In fact, Mu Zhen did this, but she just remembered the conflicts between some people's families, young couples and the elderly.

Elderly people don't have much income, so let's not talk about gnawing the old, even if they don't gnaw the old, at most they don't spend their parents' money, but they definitely don't have to think about it, and they will give their parents money to spend every month.

And as parents, they must prefer to have a little bit of money for their children than open this mouth.

However, the more this is the case, the easier it is for the juniors to take it for granted, and they will also ignore the concern for the elders.

That's why Mu Zhen proposed this method this time, everyone has their own private affairs, and there is a place where money will be used, and in this way, every time everyone is called together to give pocket money, it will also promote the relationship between family members.

The so-called family and everything is prosperous, for this, Mu Zhen has always been convinced.

In her previous life, Mu Zhen was always confused by the behavior of some people, who were generous to themselves or to their friends, but were a little stingy with their parents.

Mu Zhen has always believed that only by scattering wealth can she gather wealth, but this scatter has an object. The first is for the family, the second is for learning, and the third is for those who need help.

Therefore, in these three aspects, Mu Zhen has never been stingy.

This is also the reason why Dr. Xu and his wife will treat her as their own child, because she irons the second elder, which is why Muzhen will not hesitate to help Zhao Mingzhe's family.

Therefore, although the criteria that Mu Zhen firmly believes in will seem to be a little disadvantaged at the time, look at the attitude of Zhao Mingzhe and his family towards Mu Zhen - good will be rewarded.

Regarding Mu Zhenxin's new policy, Dr. Xu and his family also knew about it at the time, and Mrs. Xu also complained sourly: "What's the matter, even you have it, so you don't have anything to do with our old couple?" ”

Aunt Xu definitely doesn't care about Mu Zhen's pocket money, she just likes Mu Zhen's attitude towards her family.

In fact, Mu Zhen didn't think about this, but she had other plans.

The godbrother who hasn't met until now seems to have a good future, and the second elder is determined to live in Pingyao Village, but the two old ones are getting older and older, and it is not good to take care of every child around them.

Therefore, Mu Zhen said that this opportunity was raised, "If you want pocket money, it's not impossible, after the house is built, you and your father will move in with us." ”

Mu Zhen's words made Aunt Xu stunned for a moment, and then she understood that this girl was worried about their old couple. But thinking about the fact that there are so many people in Mu Zhen's house, the house is small enough to live in, and the house is big and wastes money, so he immediately refused.

The hesitation on Aunt Xu's face was naturally discovered by Mu Zhen, the elderly like to be lively, and now Aunt Xu rejected her own proposal, it must be for her own sake.

So, Mu Zhen didn't hide it from them, so she told everyone about her plan to build a house.

When they heard that Mu Zhen planned to spend such a heavy price, everyone gasped.

But after the silence, Dr. Xu agreed to Mu Zhen's suggestion.

Aunt Xu is very similar to Mu Zhen, that is, once it is a decision made by her father-in-law, they will generally not refuse. As a result, Mu Zhen's mention was also recognized by the second elder.

On this day, while preparing what she was going to eat tomorrow, Mu Zhen and Mo Xiaocai discussed the matter of building a house, after all, when the time comes, she will have to ask the village chief for help, discuss it first, and then go to the village chief to buy the land deed and choose the site.

PS: What do you think Muzhen's house will look like? Have an opinion?
