Xiaoshan took his younger siblings and everyone to greet each other one by one, and went to the east house.

Li Ziyu took out the drawings she had drawn with charcoal after arriving home yesterday, and each person gave out a pattern and marked the size one by one. The six types of puppets are rabbits, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, robot cats, bears, and penguins, and each puppet has a different demeanor. For example: sitting, lying, rolling, crawling, standing, smiling, crying, etc., are vividly expressed on the pattern. Therefore, although each person was given a pattern, there were six or seven pieces of paper, and each piece of paper had a different demeanor, which was full of movement.

When everyone looked at her with surprise on their faces, Li Ziyu said: "Aunts, aunts, and sisters-in-law, each of you has a pattern, and you decide how to match the color." I only have a few requirements, one is that it must be clean and not dirty. The second is to try to be as delicate and beautiful as possible. Third, the drawings are temporarily confidential and cannot be disclosed. The delivery time is set for ten days, I don't know if you can do it. Also, Aunt Yang may have told you that if the work is passed, each piece will be counted as thirty yuan. ”

When everyone heard the price, they excitedly looked at me, I looked at you, and nodded in agreement. In this season, it is difficult to find a job to earn money, not to mention women, even if they are strong laborers. You can earn 300 wen in ten days, where to find such a good guy.

Aunt Yang smiled: "This is much more than my hard work to embroider things, I hope there will always be such a good thing." ”

Xiaohua Niang also echoed and said: "Xiaoyu, Xiaohua asked her uncle to take her to live at her grandmother's house, or let her learn more from you." Don't look at this picture, I don't know what to draw, don't say it's really good-looking. ”

The three young daughters-in-law gathered together, looking at the picture in their hands and whispering, their faces full of excitement.

Only the chubby Lu Mingjia frowned and looked at the picture, and was silent for a while.

Li Ziyu approached her and asked, "Aunt Lu, what's wrong?" Can't read it? ”

Lu Ming's maiden name is Zhao, at this time, Zhao asked worriedly: "Xiaoyu, can this really make money?" ”

Li Ziyu nodded seriously: "Aunt Lu, don't worry, you will definitely be able to make money." In case I really don't make money, I will also pay you by piece. ”

Zhao blushed embarrassedly: "Xiaoyu, I didn't mean that, I was just worried"

"I know, don't worry, no matter whether you earn money or not, I will pay you your wages in ten days." Li Ziyu said to everyone very solemnly.

So, next, with the help of Aunt Yang and Xiaohuaniang, Li Ziyu divided the cloth head and broken cotton with a scale. Everyone was very happy to take the cloth and broken cotton they had allocated, and said goodbye and went home.

Li Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, this matter has come to an end for the time being, and she is also looking forward to what the finished product will be in ten days.

In these ten days, Li Ziyu went into the mountains several times and shot more than a dozen pheasants, a dozen hares, and five roe deer. Once, if I was lucky, I also hit a red deer that weighed more than 200 pounds.

She still kept the deerskin, salted it, and when the pickling was successful, it was cooked with the previous deerskin, and made a pair of deerskin boots for each of her sisters and brothers.

Because venison is a fresh thing, Li Ziyu gave three catties to each of the old village chief, Aunt Yang, and He Shigui's family, and the rest of the families who helped her family repair the house each sent one catty.

A few pheasants and hares were left at home, and together with the remaining venison and roe deer meat, they were sold to the Riri Red Restaurant, and the five roe deer skins were sold to the grocery store in their hometown. The income from these few visits to the mountain has entered more than 400 taels of silver, which makes Li Ziyu sigh.

Now that the family has more than 700 taels of silver, she wanted to take it out to buy land, but because their sister and brother suddenly had such a large amount of silver, she was afraid of attracting the attention of people with a heart, so she couldn't make up her mind what to do.

During this period, the sisters and brothers insisted on morning exercise every day. Now Li Ziyu has handed over the boxing technique to them

, Every day, Xiaoshan and Xiaowen are tied with two-pound sandbags on their legs, Xiaowu is tied with one-pound sandbags, and Xiaohu and Xiaolan are not tied to them when they are young. The pills left by Ren Xiaohang, Li Ziyu gave them to the younger siblings according to their age and physical tolerance, and the physique of the six siblings was changing.

Every morning after the morning exercise, Li Ziyu will read and practice calligraphy with her younger siblings, because there is no teacher who knows how to do it, and the handwriting of several people is crooked, which makes Li Ziyu sigh. But the speed of literacy is very fast because of Li Ziyu's presence, and everyone knows more than 200 words.

Of course, there was no shortage of firewood. The firewood at home is now piled up on the front courtyard wall and can be burned until next spring.

During this period, Ga Ziniang made the cotton clothes and cotton coats of the six sisters and brothers, and was making cotton shoes for them. The wages are all made into a few pieces of wages, and the work that Ga Ziniang is grateful for is becoming more and more meticulous.

What surprised Li Ziyu was the vegetable box, several vegetables grew very fast, and they could be eaten at a glance. Li Ziyu found He Shigui again and opened seven wooden boxes. This time, the wooden boxes were bigger than the last time, and Li Ziyu thought that it would be good to be able to have more varieties, so she used household fertilizer mixed with the fertile soil by the river to plant seven kinds of vegetables. If it is as expected, some of them will be able to ripen around the New Year, and as for the cucumbers, they will definitely have to wait for the year to ripen late. The east room has completely become a vegetable base, and the first thing Li Ziyu does every day is to check the vegetable box, lest something go wrong.

Bean sprouts have been produced for a long time, and bean sprouts are eaten at almost every meal. Li Ziyu later gave birth to bean sprouts again, and there were more of them. Because there are few vegetables in winter, bean sprouts are also a fresh vegetable, so Li Ziyu lent her family sorghum stalks and adobe bricks to her family last time to repair the house, and each family gave them some bean sprouts, and gave them the tips of raw bean sprouts. She never thought of making a fortune with bean sprouts, this method of fai sprouts is very simple, ordinary housewives just need to use their minds, but they just didn't expect it. Now that Li Ziyu has taught them, they must be grateful in their hearts, which is very beneficial to their orphans.

Of course, she didn't pull down the old village chief's family, Aunt Yang's family, and He Shigui's family, and they all sent them and taught them the method.

During this period, Li Ziyu made a pair of cotton gloves for each of her younger siblings and two sets of underwear for each of them. Now, because of the close-fitting underwear on my body, it is much warmer to go out.

Li Ziyu was idle, so she made some handicrafts with rags. All kinds of flowers, cotton slippers, insoles, handbags, pencil cases, flower baskets, etc., make the younger siblings love it.

In the blink of an eye, ten days have arrived.

The day before, Li Ziyu went to the town to hire an ox cart. Unexpectedly, when I hired a car, I met the old man last time, it is better to be raw than cooked, Li Ziyu asked him to go to the house at the beginning of tomorrow to wait, and the old man agreed again and again.

The next day, the ten-day period had arrived.

Early in the morning, Aunt Yang and her sisters came to Li Ziyu's house with large bags and small bags.

Li Ziyu inspected the puppets they made one by one, and I have to say that the ancient women's hands were really skillful. Each puppet is very delicate and beautiful, and the layout of the puppet color and luster are very eye-catching, which also gives Li Ziyu a lot of confidence.

Li Ziyu settled their wages one by one, and everyone happily took their wages and went home.

At the beginning of the year, the old man's ox cart arrived, Li Ziyu carefully wrapped the puppet, put it on the ox cart, instructed Xiaoshan a few words, and went to the town with the old man.

Now, knowing that my sister has something serious to do in the town, a few small ones don't chase after her, and I sensibly watched my sister go away in an ox cart, and no one cried.
