Chapter 40 The Dullness of the Mid-Autumn Festival
Ah Hua also met Uncle Zhang, who had been bedridden for a long time, the old man was very diligent, leaning on the quilt with the upper half of his body, holding the soles of his shoes flexibly with both hands, and placing a needlework dustpan on his side, like a woman at home.
"Ah Hua, I've taught you jokes, the old man is not a person who can rest, and he takes up a lot of land to do other work, so he learns to make needlework and helps me make up for my needlework stall."
Aunt Li was busy with dinner in the stove room and chatted with Ah Hua.
"What's the joke about that? Auntie, my father is a tailor, everyone knows that he has good craftsmanship, and my father is proud! Uncle Zhang has a job in his hands, and his life is better, isn't it? ”
Ah Hua said this iron, and the old and the young get along even more harmoniously.
Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon is bigger and rounder, Aunt Li put a sacrifice in the courtyard and kowtowed, then went back to the house to have dinner with her wife and Ah Hua.
Ah Hua was also interested, and did not ask why the three sons did not come to accompany the old man for the holiday, and the old couple did not ask Ah Hua why he was out.
During the meal, I talked about reforming the materials for Uncle Zhang's soles, so I used animal skins, hard and solid bottoms, and cut the soft parts into uppers and sent them to the county, and they couldn't be sold at a good price?
Don't think that you don't need to make more money when you're old, in what dynasty, when your father and mother have more money, the children won't be too unfilial, the old people you have heard of who have been starved to death, abandoned and abused are basically poor jingle rings, right?
Uncle Zhang was also very excited, staring at Ah Hua's feet for a long time on the spot, and nodded himself: "I can do it, the old man has a lot of hands, and it's no problem to nail a few skins." ”
That night, two kerosene lamps were lit, and Ah Hua sketched out the design of half-tube leather boots of one style for men and women, and discussed it carefully with Uncle Zhang.
The ready-made animal skin given to Aunt Li was regarded as the first real product, and when Ah Hua rubbed her eyes to rest, the old couple was still mentally pondering the design drawing.
That's a business, right? Ah Hua was already satisfied on the way back, however, she didn't know that there was still a big surprise waiting for her.
Carrying all kinds of newly purchased goods, he climbed halfway up the mountain along the road that he had pioneered, and in the distance, he heard the cries of wild boars and wild goats in and out of his cave.
Could it be that there is any hostility?
Ah Hua's heart tightened, and she grabbed the axe in her hand again.
Closer, carefully observed, it seemed normal, the direction of several traps outside the yard was still flat ground, and no prey was caught.
"You're hungry, aren't you?" Ah Hua was happy, and the soles of her feet sped up and walked towards her home.
The smell is very pungent, and the little wild boar under the two old trees can only be pulled in place, and the yard is stinky inside and out.
It is estimated that there is not much to go in the cave, and the smell of a mother wild sheep and two leopard cubs is enough to choke......
Ah Hua smiled and opened the courtyard door, and comforted the two frightened little wild boars: "You wait, I'll clean up the house first and then feed you." ”
At this time, it is almost dusk, and it is the time when the autumn wind is falling in the mountains.
There was no trace of harassment at the entrance of the stone cave, and as soon as Ah Hua stepped in, she was hugged by two little leopards, "humming and chirping".
The closed stone cave, really, there is no way to smell it......
Ah Hua held her breath, picked up the two pestering little guys and put them out of the door, and coaxed in her mouth: "Wait and make out again......."
Before her arm reached out of the stone at the entrance of the cave, she suddenly felt tense and looked up.
A behemoth was stepping into the courtyard gate along the route she had just entered......
Lonely these days are desperately repairing the article, friends can look back when they have time, and if there is any criticism, it is good to put forward.
