Chapter 22 The leaky house happened to rain overnight
With the first time, the rest is much smoother.
Aunt Zhao sat beside her and made a female red, this is a matter of slow work and meticulous work, she is not in a hurry, and she has only embroidered five or six handkerchiefs for ten days.
Lin Wanbai picked it up while stirring the spices, and the fine stitches, the two swifts came to life, as if they would fly out of the handkerchief in the next moment.
"After this batch of sesame oil is ready, I will take the handkerchief to sell it together, and the girl's family loves it."
Lin Wanbai said, putting down the handkerchief. She also has one in her arms, and it is not easy for people who are used to using tissues to carry a handkerchief at all times. But Aunt Zhao said that her daughter's family could not have a handkerchief, so she embroidered one for her and let her carry it in her pocket every day.
The pattern on her handkerchief is the golden-spotted butterfly resting on the elm leaf plum, and the delicate embroidery can even see the tentacles of the golden-spotted butterfly clearly. She was reluctant, she kept it as a baby, and she never used it.
Sweating, it's just rude wiping with your sleeve.
The last time I made Miyanaka incense, she didn't continue to make it because the materials were too expensive.
Because when it was given for nothing, it was mixed with a note with her name and address written on it, but a few people came to the door to ask, specifying that they wanted this, but when they heard the four hundred texts, they all scolded and left, and they all said that Lin Wanbai was a liar.
She shrugged her shoulders helplessly, didn't bother to explain, and just blasted away.
The vision is good, I know that it is a good thing, even if I go through the streets and alleys, I have to find it, and then I plan to throw off the ten pennies and come back again. Why don't you think about it, since it is a good thing, the natural cost is not low, why should she always sell favors at a loss.
No, I couldn't get a bargain, so I scolded at the door for a while, and then dispersed one after another.
Lin Wanbai didn't care much, a few shrews in the market were not enough to affect the business.
This time it is a cheap little incense, and the most materials used for each piece are only about ten Wen, although it can't be in the eyes of nobles, but it is absolutely no problem to sell it in the market.
And when pouring it, she also kept an eye on it, and each piece of balm was embedded with an apricot flower, which looked several points higher.
She was checking the color of the incense in the living room, and she heard Aunt Zhao shouting loudly outside: "Take back your clothes quickly, look at the sky, I'm afraid there will be a heavy rain." ”
When Lin Wanbai heard this, he was stunned, and hurriedly ran to the courtyard, raised his head and looked at the sky, it was still bright just now, and suddenly a demon wind blew, and the sky was covered with black clouds.
"Not good."
She packed up her clothes and ran into the house, and as soon as she entered, the rain of soybeans poured down.
"It's good to have time."
Aunt Zhao patted her chest and said with a smile, if it weren't for Lin Wanbai's flexibility like a rabbit, it is estimated that this dress would be a lot wetter.
"It's not timely at all."
Lin Wanbai sat on a wooden stool, holding her chin, looking sadly at the tiles on the roof, listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the tiles, which was particularly loud, as if thousands of bees were spinning around in her ears.
"Mother, I remember that our roof is leaking, right?"
At this time, Lin Wanbai hoped a lot, but in fact, he remembered it wrongly, although the dilapidated house was a little dilapidated, but it was really unreasonable.
After she said this, Aunt Zhao remembered, raised her head and squinted her eyes and tried to find the empty gap in the tiles on the roof.
"Wan'er, there's a leak there."
Aunt Zhao suddenly screamed, and hurriedly took a scoop to catch water, Lin Wanbai looked over and saw that Aunt Zhao was also dripping with water behind her, and hurriedly said, "Mother, there is also water dripping behind you." ”
As she spoke, she quickly grabbed the wooden bucket on the side and put it on the ground to catch the water.
"Wan'er, you better go and see, how is the balm."
The shelf for drying the balm was in Lin Wanbai's room, she immediately stood up and rushed over like a rabbit, her room was also leaking, fortunately, there was not much vacancy, and there was no temporary balm.
She hurriedly pulled a piece of oiled paper and spread it on it, feeling a little uneasy, pinched the four corners, and then covered the board.
A small house, just a living room and two bedrooms, found more than a dozen leaks, Yan zhòng like a line, slight ticking and ticking.
Lin Wanbai initially thought of a way to load rainwater, but later found that the speed of pouring water was not as fast as the speed of receiving water. In the end, Lin Wanbai gave up directly, and against the rain that filled the house like a rain curtain, he dismantled the bed board and erected it into a triangle to make a tent.
Aunt Zhao sat under the bed board and looked at the sky outside gloomily, it was still cloudy.
"It looks like it's going to rain all night."
Lin Wanbai looked at the already soaked floor and sighed, how to repair this roof, you can't let it go.
If you hire a permanent worker, I don't know how much it will cost.
Lin Manlu took a lot of silver, even if she repaired the roof ten times, it would be absolutely fine, but she said that she would not use anything that Lin Manlu brought, so she would never use it.
"Wan'er, you sleep first, I'll keep watch."
Aunt Zhao pulled the quilt, covered her body, and said softly, although Aunt Zhao seems to be weak and can't withstand any feeling of suffering, she is a mother who loves her children very much, and always wants to give the best to Lin Wanbai.
Lin Wanbai also obediently drilled into Aunt Zhao's arms, thinking that she had been here for more than half a month, not only was this day not prosperous, but it was getting worse and worse.
The more she thought about it, the more irritated she became, and finally she simply shook her head, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
It's useless to be in a hurry, tomorrow will be a new day.
The next day, Lin Wanbai was woken up by the sound of tinkling water droplets, rubbed her eyes and sat up, and saw Aunt Zhao sitting all night in order to protect her, leaning on the side and falling asleep.
She felt guilty for a while, looking at the fine weather outside, she crept to her feet, but she didn't want to wake up Aunt Zhao.
"Are you awake?"
Aunt Zhao said and wanted to get up, but after sitting all night, she struggled a few times and couldn't stand up.
Lin Wanbai saw the turn, hurriedly helped her, and whispered: "Mother, you sleep for a while, and I'll come back when I go." ”
Lin Wanbai looked at her bloodshot eyes, and felt very sad, but she didn't dare to show it, she smiled reluctantly, put on her clothes, combed her braids, and walked out.
After a night of heavy rain, all the vegetable seedlings that had grown with great difficulty drooped their heads and drowned in the yellow muddy water. The stove room also leaked, all the dry firewood inside was wet, the petals and leaves of the begonia trees fell all over the ground, and the shelves for drying clothes also fell to the ground.
She sighed helplessly, as if half a month's hard work had been completely ruined in an instant, which was even more unbearable and difficult than just coming to the house.
"It's okay, just come again."
Lin Wanbai patted his face, cheered himself up, picked up the basket from the ground, washed it and dried it next to the well, and carefully put the balm in it piece by piece.
The difficulties she is facing now can be solved with money, so she has to find a way to make money.
It's just that in another world, she has no expertise, and it is not an easy thing.
The only thing that can be pinned is the ability to make fragrances, she wants everyone to know that the Wan girl of the Lin family is not a good-for-nothing fragrance idiot.
