Chapter Eighty-Seven: Dressmaking

Shubai agreed that Li Niang would find someone to help make clothes for the third uncle, and asked her to take Qingyuan to relax, the little baby is not good if she is locked up for a long time, and her brain will be rigid.

Li Niang went back to the house and wrapped two muslin cloths, carried a purse, and went to the backyard to pick some cucumbers and beans, put them in a basket and put them out of the door, Qingyuan jumped and followed aside, looking forward to playing with his friends.

The two sisters and brothers haven't been out for a long time, walking on the road, from time to time someone is pointing, Li Niang thought of the ugly words He Liansheng said, smiled and straightened her back, we are not afraid of crooked shadows!

Li Xiaofu was playing with a few little babies at the gate of the yard, Qingyuan called him, he rushed over and hugged Qingyuan, and shouted: "Brother Qingyuan, your brother finally released you?" ”

Li Niang laughed, "What do you mean to release it, my family Qingyuan is studying and practicing at home every day, and he is very busy, so I don't have time to play with you often, but I didn't make a mistake and was locked up by my eldest brother." ”

Several little babies were bluffed, Qingyuan was enlightened when he was only three years old, so what should they do, will they also be escorted to the school by their parents every day?

Qingyuan pushed Li Xiaofu away and smiled and bent his eyes, "My sister is right, I am studying at home, not being locked up, let me tell you, Brother Xiaofu, reading is fun, there are many fun allusions in the books, do you want me to tell you?" ”

Li Xiaofu hurriedly shook his head, he didn't want to study, his second brother went to the school and regretted it, "Brother Qingyuan, let's go and mud, I'll teach you to build a castle." ”

Li Niang hurriedly told me not to play with urine, it was dirty, the worms in the urine would get on my hands, and I would have a stomachache when I ate it.

The little babies ran away in a swarm with Qingyuan, and they didn't know if they listened to it or not.

Li Niang walked to the door of Li's house, Jiang had already greeted her, Li Niang said that she was disturbed, and said what she meant, Jiang Shi agreed, "What do you have to make a few clothes, what kind of wages do you want, Li Niang of the villagers in the township, you are too outside." ”

"It's already embarrassing to delay my aunt's work, you don't need to be paid, Li Niang won't be able to sleep when she goes back." Li Niang persuaded a few words, but Jiang had no choice but to respond, and said that she would call her concubine Qi to do it together, and the speed would be faster when there were more people.

As for why they didn't ask Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to do this, it was said that this was their job, but Jiang didn't ask, and Li Niang didn't say it, everyone knew it.

Two gray and white muslins, a big man like Mo Wenwu, can make four sets of shirts and pants, and there is still a little cloth left, Li Niang is going to take it to Xianzhuang at night to make boxer panties, such things are particular, you can't just ask other people's women to do it, and Li Niang shouldn't worry about it, but there is really no way, and the eldest niece has to do it.

Li Duoer went to the village chief's house and called the Qi family, she could get fifteen copper plates by making a set of short clothes, how could she not come, where could she find such a good thing.

Li Niang didn't measure the size of the third uncle, but she could tell it, Jiang listened to her comparison, and felt that it was close to her being in charge, so she decisively cut the scissors, and the four sets of clothes were quickly cut, and the two women and two little ladies nested on the kang and sewed up.

Taking time, Li Niang went out to see if Qingyuan was playing well, and found that He Lianyong and a few older children also joined in, and a bunch of children were playing in the mud in front of the Li family's yard, Li Niang pointed to He Lianyong and said: "Take the baby to play well, play well and reward sugar cubes to eat, dare to bully people and be careful I will beat you!" ”

He Lianyong, who had a large shadow area in his heart, didn't dare to put a fart, so he only nodded stunnedly, and Li Niang carried her small chin into the house.

After a while, Qingyuan ran in and said with a nervous face: "Second sister, I heard my grandmother scolding the third uncle, the scolding is fierce, will the third uncle be beaten, let's go save him." ”

Li Niang put down the needle and thread and sighed heavily, "We are small and have little strength, and we can't manage the affairs of adults, Qingyuan don't have to be afraid, didn't you see the third uncle in the morning?" He is such a big man, and he also learned martial arts in the military camp, ordinary people can't beat him, go play, don't think too much. ”

Qingyuan agreed ignorantly, and happily ran out to find his friends, Qi sighed, "Alas, his third uncle Mo is really a miserable person, he suffered a lot of water before he came out of his mother's womb, your mother finally pulled him up, and sent him over there to work to earn money, and occasionally went home to do this and that for Pai, I haven't seen him rest at home for a day in the past few years, alas." ”

Li Niang said: "My third uncle is bitter first and then sweet, good days are ahead, now he is already a personal soldier by the general's side, and if he behaves well for three years or two, he can be promoted to a big official, and then find a good daughter-in-law, and life will be over." ”

Hearing this, Jiang and Qi looked at each other, Jiang lowered his voice and said: "Li Niang, your third uncle and your brother are not young, I heard your grandmother talking to your second aunt about this a few days ago, as if she was going to say kiss to his uncle and nephew, what kind of double happiness is coming." ”

Li Niang's eyelids jumped, and she squinted, "Auntie, my grandmother is kind, but it also depends on when, don't say that my brother can't say kiss in filial piety, it's my third uncle, that's the person who is about to go to the battlefield, who knows if he can come back in ten or eight years, if you really want to say kiss, isn't that a harmful girl?" Our family can't do such a lack of morality. ”

"What? To the battlefield? Going to war? Jiang's reaction was a bit big, she had to be afraid, she had many sons, and she was most afraid of conscription, and she would definitely not be able to avoid a conscription.

It's no secret that there is going to be a war in the northwest, so Li Niang didn't have any worries about leaking secrets, so she picked up what she knew and said, "...... Why don't you hurry up to make clothes for the third uncle, worship the ancestors tomorrow, and the third uncle will return to the camp to report the day after tomorrow, and the generals don't even dare to give more holidays, for fear of receiving the emperor's order to go on the expedition at any time. ”

Both of them were stunned, Li Duoer had no concept of war, she was not afraid if she didn't fight, she was still sewing clothes calmly at this time, this little girl had studied with Li Niang for a while, and she had studied with her mother for a long time, and now sewing clothes is already very decent, but I don't know if embroidery has improved.

It's almost noon, Li Niang took Qingyuan home, now it's not easy for the family, she didn't agree to the Jiang family to keep her for dinner, now the farm is idle, the Li family eats two meals on weekdays, how can she let the family cook one more meal because of her sister and brother?

Li Niang wrapped the leftover cloth and carried it, took Qingyuan and left, that stubborn appearance made Jiang Shi retreat, and she didn't dare to force her to stay, and said straight in her heart that she was kind and sensible, although she was a little anxious, but she was really a girl.

Shubai at home has already cooked the meal, and the weather has become hotter recently, and the family often eats porridge, accompanied by some side dishes and dried fish, and still feeds the three brothers and sisters to their heart's content.

Qingyuan took a nap, Li Niang called her brother out of the house, and whispered to the Li family that the matchmaker would come to the door soon, and she had to quickly come up with a countermeasure.

"There's nothing to think about, just come and send it away." Shubai said, "Li Niang, don't think about it too much, my brother will deal with this matter, and he won't let them succeed." (To be continued.) )
