There are only three of them left in the house, Tang Tiezhu went to the yard to chop wood for a fire when they selected the rag heads, Tang Qinger looked at the bag of rags that were sorted out, and the upper can be made into at least seventy or eighty pairs, if a pair is pressed for three dollars, it can almost earn more than three hundred yuan, the shoes of the little babies are easy to make, the only trouble is the upper, and I don't know how many uppers the second aunt can make a day, the best upper pattern is cute and special, and the little babies want to buy and wear it when they see it.

In the evening, Sun took half a bag of rags back to make uppers, and Tang Qinger also lost no time in saying: "The little babies like the graphics of small animals the most, if the second aunt embroiders them into animal graphics, it will definitely sell well."

Sun's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he patted his thigh and said, "Yes, yes, embroidering animals is quick and convenient, and the appearance is still pleasing, and the little babies must like it," said and hurriedly returned to her room with a rag head to draw and embroider.

Li Shi assisted in the soles of the shoes, she planned to make a paste sticky cloth board, so she went to the stove to make a fire and poured enough water into the pot, and after the water boiled, the flour was added to the boiling water in a small amount in a row, and constantly stirred while adding, and when the dry and thin were suitable, stop adding the flour, and cook it with the residual temperature in the pot, and the paste was ready.

Look at the time, put the paste in a clean wooden basin and start cooking dinner, Li was in a hurry to make the uppers, let Tang Qing'er help her cook, the babies all knew that her mother wanted to make money, looking at the food on the table, they were all in a hurry to make a mouthful, Li went directly to the house to make shoe soles, Tang Qing'er cleaned up the dining table and washed it, and when these things were finished, she took her younger brothers and sisters back to her house to play.

When Li returned to the house, he took out the old clothes that had many patches and could not be mended and could not be worn, cut out a table-sized cloth, and then spread this cloth on the old table in the house, glued the remaining cloth to it while pasting, and then glued large pieces of rags on top of it in turn, one layer, two layers...... Until it is glued into a cloth board that is about one point thick, the paste on the cloth board can be used to cut the sole after drying, and the paste should not be wiped too much and too thick in the process of sticking, as long as the cloth can be glued firmly, otherwise the cloth board will be too hard, not to mention the needle, and the finished sole is not comfortable to wear, so that the baby walks a few steps and becomes back to wrestling.

The sole is cut to the size of the small feet of the children from one year old to five years old, after the sole is cut, Li will take out the big needle and twine specially used for the sole, put on the thimble and sit on the bed and start to taper the sole, the twine can be worn together, the stitches must be dense, so that the sole of the cone is durable, the sole is not very thick, because it is too thick, and the little babies are easy to wear the feet.

In half an hour, Li Shi coned out six or seven pairs, knowing that it was already dark in the room and could not see anything, Li Shi gave up, cleaned up the rest of the soles and kept them for tomorrow, and did not plan to cone again tonight.

On the morning of the first day, Li took out the pen, ink and paper that he bought for wood and stone yesterday, took the hands of his two sons and said: "Mother and your father are countrymen, and they don't understand any big truths, and I don't expect you to honor your ancestors and take the top prize, but I hope that you will find a good job in the town in the future when you are literate and literate, and you also know the situation at home, your mother and your father saved the money to buy you these things for studying, you must work hard, don't let down our hard work,"

How can wood and stone not be excited, the baby who can read and write in the village can be counted with one palm, I never thought that I could be literate, I looked at each other excitedly, nodded and said in unison: "Mother, we will not let you down, we will study and read well,"

Li Shi said with relief: "That's good, the mother of things will help you collect it first, you don't dig out bird eggs and play with mud in the trees every day like before, I am going to send you to your grandmother, let your brother Bin teach you to read and write, and you won't know anything if you enter the school in two days,"

Wood and stone like to go to my grandmother's house the most, and if there are any good things in my grandmother's house, they will give them to eat, and they will not be overfed, and they will say excitedly: "En, we must study well with Brother Bin,"

Li Shi followed up and said: "When Brother Bin is studying, you are not allowed to quarrel with him, if you let your grandmother tell me, see that I don't beat you,"

Stone couldn't wait to say, "Then when are we going?" ”

Li pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Your father will send you there in a while, don't be naughty, you know,"

Wood's personality is relatively calm: "Mother, I will take care of my younger brother when the time comes, don't worry," said the little adult's words, but forgot that he and Shi were born at the same time, just a few seconds away.

After Tang Tiezhu finished chopping firewood and feeding the hens, he took his two sons to his mother-in-law's house, and there were three Li mothers left in the house, Tang Qinger took Tang Jiaoer to play outside the house, Li continued to accept the soles of his shoes in the house, and Sun also came over with embroidered rags, Tang Qinger led his sister into the house, and saw the tiger head embroidered by the second aunt vividly, the craftsmanship was really good, and the two of them talked and laughed and worked together, this day Li made a total of 20 soles, Sun embroidered more than 10 uppers, Li looked at Sun's embroidered noodles, it was really time-consuming, took the initiative to sew Sun's embroidered uppers on the soles and made seven or eight pairs of small shoes, a few of which were still satin materials, Tang Jiaoer wanted to see them, but Li kept them for sale, and it was impossible for her to wear them.

After two days of busy work, making nearly a hundred pairs of small shoes, Li and Sun waited for the town market with smiles on their faces every day, fearing that they would not sell well for the first time, so they brought more than 30 pairs of shoes.

When he finally arrived in the town to catch the market, Tang Tiezhu went to the town with the Li family and the Sun family with the Li family and the Sun family, found a free place, and took out two pennies and handed them to the official who collected the rent.

Li took out a piece of cloth and spread it on the ground, took out the small shoes in the flat shoulder and placed them on the cloth, seeing that there were more and more people in the market, but no one came to buy shoes, he was anxious, Sun was also very anxious when he saw this situation, and after looking at Li Shi, Li looked at the people around him, all of them were selling their own things, so he took a deep breath and shouted: "Sell shoes, make beautiful little shoes for the little babies, come and see, cheap,"

Sun saw his sister-in-law shouting, and shouted: "Sell shoes, the shoes made at home have thick soles and beautiful uppers,"

Don't shout I don't know, a shouting effect really worked, just started Xingxing two or two people came over, looked at the pattern of the upper, and looked at the thickness of the sole, originally wanted to ask if I didn't want to buy, but I saw the pattern of the upper, and the sole is really thick, I couldn't put it down in my hand and asked: "Big sister, this little shoe is more than a pair,"

Li smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, good eyesight, this small shoe, the upper is the silk of Suzhou and Hangzhou, plus the animal patterns we embroidered, this pair of small shoes is a pair of seven cents,"

Where has Li seen any Suzhou and Hangzhou silk, this is all made up, or Qing'er told her when she was about to go out in the morning, saying that the people in the town know that the objects from other places are good things, if you say so, someone will definitely buy them.

The chubby woman took it and said, "It's so expensive, can it be cheaper?" ”

Li smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, this is really cheap, otherwise you look at this pair, although this pair is not as good as the pair of fabrics you take, and the embroidered patterns on the upper are special, but this pair of uppers is strong, you can give me three cents for this pair,"

"I'm optimistic about these shoes, if you can buy them cheaper, you see, big sister," the fat woman liked the pair she had just taken, and bought it back for her little son, who was not happy.

Li Shi saw that everyone else was looking at him, and his heart was excited, but his face was not at all, and he said indecisively: "Sister-in-law, you see my small business, we have to take the soles of our shoes, and we have to embroider the uppers, it's not easy, if it could be cheap, I would have sold it to you cheaply,"

The chubby woman inked for a long time, and when she saw that Li Shi did not let go, she ruthlessly took out seven yuan from her arms and gave it to Li Shi and said, "I bought it, put it up for me!" ”

Li took the money, picked up the shoes with a smile and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law, I will come back in the future, if you buy other shoes, I will give you a cheaper,"

The onlookers saw that someone really bought these shoes, so they began to bustle and ask how much money this pair was, Li was a little too busy, and wanted Sun to help take care of it, and turned his head to see that Sun had just sold a pair of shoes, although it was only sold for three dollars, but her hands were a little trembling when she received the money and handed the shoes to the guests.
