Chapter 38: Returning Home
Lin Shan didn't learn any needlework at home, but she would sew and mend a little, while watching Li Mu and Lin Xue make shoes, she also learned to do it, although the soles and uppers couldn't be done, but she did a good job of locking the insoles. Lin Yu is also deflated, I'm afraid everyone is more talented than himself in needlework.
Several people make shoes at Lin Yu's house, and they have always enjoyed good treatment. Lin Yu is never difficult to be on top of his mouth, several people are easy to get tired of work, Lin Yu will make them oil tea noodles to drink at noon every day. Coupled with the meat she bought before, she could deal with two good dishes every day, and Lin Shan quickly adapted to it. No one mentioned her sadness, and she lived happily.
However, Lin Yu didn't say that Lin Shan should live in vain, she worked for herself, and Lin Yu also took her money for food and lodging, and it was deducted from her salary.
Lin Yu believes that no matter when, you can't rely on others to support you, you have to have the ability to support yourself. Lin Shan didn't refute it, anyway, every time she made a pair of insoles, Lin Yu would give her a note, but she clearly understood.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Shan has been here for a few days, and it will soon be the day to catch up with the big set. Since the first day of October is Halloween, this time the gathering is on September 30th.
Daquan and the third arrived early again. Daquan spoke and brought four long tables, one of which was exactly the width of the stall. Lin Yu still plans to rent three stalls today, so let everyone carry a table into the room and put something on it.
This time, there are still two stalls selling shoes, and pastries and jerky are one stall. These are all her deals, and Lin Yu is reluctant to leave them behind. Last night, while they were making shoes, she was making pastries there, and today she got up before dawn and steamed the pastries made last night. In modern times, she lived from 8 to 5 in the morning, where did she endure such hardship? It's just that if you want to live a good life now, these are the ways to go.
With the popularity accumulated in the last episode, there are more people buying shoes this time than in the previous episode. Many people come from the forks and forks of the ditch. In addition, tomorrow is the first day of October, and everyone goes to the market to buy sacrificial supplies, and this set is no more deserted than the Mid-Autumn Festival. Lin Yu's stall has been in a state of leakage.
Felt shoes are warm, lightweight, and cheap, and ordinary people can buy a pair to wear. In the cold wind, I stretched my feet into the felt shoes, and the whole person was light and warm.
The jerky was reamed into small strips of meat by Lin Yu, just as big as the vacuum-packed beef jerky sold in modern times, two for five cents, much more expensive than the dim sum sold, and the people who bought it were naturally pitiful, but occasionally two of them bought, and they all praised the deliciousness of the jerky.
The market closes at noon, but this time unexpectedly, by noon, there were still a lot of people. Lin Yu prepared enough goods this time, but they were enough to sell. Fortunately, it was felt shoes, and it was impossible to make them so quickly if they were replaced by any other material. But looking at Mother Li's appearance of flying needles and threads to make shoes, Lin Yu has some other ideas, and may be able to improve the efficiency of making shoes in the future. When the time comes, you won't be afraid whether it's a felt sole or another sole.
After a morning, Lin Yu made a lot of money again. In fact, everyone who should buy shoes has almost bought it, and there are few people who order shoes, so Lin Yu divided the money and asked Mother Li and Lin Xue to go back to Wangjiagou in the afternoon.
It's been a month since the two of them came out, especially Lin Xue, thinking about the child so much that her mouth was blistered, Lin Yu looked distressed, so she said that she took a 300-foot felt home, and made shoes at home with Mother Li, and she could get back a hundred pairs of shoes in the next episode.
The two of them have made a lot of money in the month they have lived here, and they used to think that the two of them couldn't earn hundreds of big sons in a year, but this time they made nearly three dollars a month, which is really unimaginable.
Tomorrow's sacrifice, Lin Xue bought some dark money lamps and candles and gave them to Daquan, and asked him to help his parents go to the grave. After that, I bought some daily necessities, and I went back to Wangjiagou with Li's mother in a small donkey cart.
Lin Yu hasn't been to worship his parents since he came back. Their northern rule is to go to the grave during the New Year, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the three major ghost festivals. These three major ghost festivals are Qingming, July 15 and October 1st. At other times, it is not allowed to go to the land casually, lest the ancestors think that the descendants are nostalgic and the ghosts come home to make trouble. Because of this, Lin Yu hasn't caught up with this Halloween since he went home, so naturally he hasn't been to the grave yet.
This time, he said that he was going to go, so Lin Yu helped Daquan buy a lot of sacrificial supplies and bring them back. And here, there are only more than 300 feet of felt left in the house, Lin Yu gave the old 300 feet, saying that he will take back 80 pairs of shoes in the next episode, and the rest will be used by him casually. And Daquan and Erkui's family each gave fifty feet, which was given for free. Willing to sell shoes, or directly nailed to doors and windows to prevent wind, it's up to them. She also left a hundred feet for herself, in addition to making windproof curtains for doors and windows, and letting Lin Shan make insoles for the rest.
The house that had been piled up for a month was finally cleaned up today, and Lin Yu also felt relieved.
In the evening, Lin Yu made some noodles with the white noodles at home, and steamed a large pot of steamed buns with the white noodles on the morning of the first day of October, and dotted red dots with cinnabar on them, so he took Lin Shan, took the paper money, and walked to Linjiagou.
Since leaving home in early September, Lin Yu has never returned here. It snowed heavily again today, which made Lin Yu feel that this departure seemed to have passed for a long time.
The grave was to be completed in the morning, so it was still early when Lin Yu arrived at Linjiagou. She said that she would never return to Daquan's house again, and when she came back this time, she would only stand outside the door, waiting for Daquan to go to the grave together.
"Auntie is back!" As soon as Taicai saw Lin Yu, wearing the small felt boots that Lin Yu brought back, he ran out as if he was flying, and immediately threw himself into Lin Yu's arms.
Lin Yu put the things on the big stone next to the door, and hugged Taicai with all his might.
Taicai is eight years old, where is Lin Yu able to move, it is rare to take two strokes, and then put him on the ground.
"Auntie, are you going to come back to live?" Taicai saw Lin Yu holding the baggage, but he didn't know that it was a steamed bun, and thought that Lin Yu had come back after packing his things.
"No, my aunt is just coming back to go to the grave of your grandparents, and you still have to leave after the grave." Lin Yu stroked Taicai's unkempt little head and said with a smile.
"Auntie, don't go, I think you want to cry."
Taicai's voice was aggrieved, and Lin Yu's heart felt like he had been hit hard, and he was very distressed when he took Taicai into his arms.
"Auntie, I haven't forgotten the words you taught me, I'm writing well now!" Taicai worked hard to show that he wanted Lin Yu to stay because of his excellence.
Looking at Taicai's appearance, Lin Yu's heart was happy. She knew that this might offend the Sun family even more, but she still wanted to ask if she could take Taicai to the city and let him go to school.
