"Eldest sister, what's wrong?" Qiduo smiled and walked towards Erxia.
"It's a little thing." Erxia approached her with a small green cloth burden in her hand.
She handed the small burden to Qiduo, and said softly, "Duo, I took the time to make a pair of shoes for Aunt Shen, and I don't know if it suits her wishes, you take it and let her try it, if you don't like it, you can bring it back, and I will redo it." ”
"Eldest sister, why did you think of making shoes for your aunt?" Qiduo asked with a smile.
And the burden was opened, and it was a pair of fuchsia satin shoes embroidered with a hundred butterflies and flowers.
The workmanship is exquisite, the soles are fine, the butterflies spread their wings, and the flowers are gorgeous and vivid.
"It's so beautiful, eldest sister, is this flower embroidered by the second sister?" Qiduo smiled and asked, looking at the shoes like handicrafts, I really loved and envied them, thinking that it would be nice if I had this craft.
Erxia pursed her lips and smiled shyly, "I embroidered it myself, and when I saw that the orange was very tired, I didn't let her do it." Duo, is it not embroidered well? ”
She tensed again.
Qiduo was surprised, and always thought that the flowers of the six oranges were the best, but I didn't expect the eldest sister to embroider without losing a cent.
Now it seems that among the three sisters, only their hands are the clumsiest, sewing clothes is almost the same, doing shoe embroidery, hum, or keep the fetus of a young lady in the next life, and then learn it.
My heart was sour.
But Qiduo is more happy, looking at the sisters' ingenuity, this heart is also beautiful, and it is no different from his own will.
She smiled and put her arm around Erxia. "Big sister. Of course not. It's so well embroidered, these shoes are well made, the flowers are beautifully embroidered, and my aunt must like it very much. By the way, I've been so busy lately, when did you make these shoes? ”
There are some doubts, recently the family has been getting up before dawn and has been busy until nightfall. Where does the eldest sister still have time to make shoes?
Erxia said softly, "I'll do it every night when you and Ju fall asleep." I'm afraid to make a noise with you. ”
"Eldest sister, how tiring this is, it's not too late to do it when you're free." Qiduo was angry, and at the same time felt sorry for her involvement.
"Last time, when Aunt Shen came to our house for dinner, she casually said that the shoes I made were okay, and it happened that Aunt Shen and Lord Shen had helped our family a lot, so I hurried to do it." Erxia explained why.
Seven flowers pursed their lips.
Suddenly, she thought of Shen Nan's purse, the child disliked the purse she bought, and was insincere, so she had to embroider one by herself. It's embarrassing.
Looking at the lifelike flowers and butterflies on the embroidered shoes, the corners of Qiduo's mouth hooked. There you have it, hey, hey!
The eldest sister and the second sister are so skillful, so the two of them will do it for them.
So she smiled at Yang Erxia to help embroider a purse when she was free.
Erxia was honest, didn't ask anything, and nodded directly in agreement.
"Sister, you're so nice." After Qiduo coquettished Erxia, she took her shoes and went to Shen's house.
Erxia pursed her lips and smiled as she watched Qiduo leave, and then went to tidy up the lotus root.
Liuju asked, "Eldest sister, what are you doing?" Look at her joy, as if she had won a treasure. ”
"Let me embroider a purse for her." Erxia replied with a smile.
"Embroidered purse?" Liuju's beautiful big eyes rolled, and a wicked smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she said in a low voice, "Eldest sister, don't help her embroider." ”
"Why don't you help? Don't say that Duo can't be alone, she is busy every day, even if she will, I am the eldest sister, shouldn't I embroider a purse for her, you girl, how can you do this to your sister? Erxia Zhengse said, and the eldest sister's demeanor was immediately apparent.
Liuju looked around, and saw that there was no one else, so he bit Erxia's ear and said, "Eldest sister, you misunderstood what I meant, you listen to me, this purse should be embroidered to send to Shen Nan." You say, how can you help her embroider, don't you? ”
Erxia was stunned for a moment, then bent her eyes and smiled.
nodded Liuju's forehead and scolded, "You girl, you are not ashamed, this is a little bigger, there are these crooked intestines." No matter who you send it, it's not all the same. ”
"Then how can it be the same, do you know Lu Dao, Duo bought a purse in the county that day and gave it to Shen Nan, but he didn't ask for it." The six oranges pouted and argued.
Erxia pursed her lips when she heard it, and then sighed, "Okay, don't say these words, Duo is still young, where do you want to go, work." ”
"So, eldest sister, don't help Duo embroider, let her embroider by herself, and know no." Liuju advised.
"Okay." Erxia nodded.
Liuju smiled wickedly and went to get busy.
She wanted to wait for Qiduo to beg her, and make a good joke to laugh at her and amuse.
Although Liuju is only one year older than Qiduo, there are people who are married at this age, and they are already ignorant of the relationship between men and women.
It is because of ignorance that I am particularly curious and interested.
Qiduo didn't know that the second sister was quietly calculating her behind her back, so she took her shoes and entered the Shen family's courtyard.
"The seventh girl is here, there are guests at home, and the lady is talking to the guests." Sister-in-law Li said softly to Qiduo.
"Oh, that's it, then Aunt Li bothered you to give these shoes to your aunt, my eldest sister helped her make them, and I don't know if they fit or not......" Qiduo handed the shoes in his hand to Sister-in-law Li, and prepared to leave first after admonishing.
It's just that before she finished speaking, Zheng Wanru had already walked out of the flower hall and called softly, "Qiduo is here, come and talk." ”
"Seventh girl, you can give it to Madame yourself." Sister-in-law Li smiled and handed the shoes back to Qiduo.
Qiduo smiled and nodded, took his shoes and walked towards the flower hall.
Sister-in-law Li went to make tea for Qiduo.
"Auntie, you're busy." Qiduo asked Zheng Wanru with a smile.
"I'm not busy, my aunt's friend Mrs. Kang is here, not an outsider, come in and talk." Zheng Wanru smiled and put her arm around Qiduo's shoulders and led her into the flower hall.
In the flower hall sat a woman in her forties, dressed in an emerald blue makeup gown, with a golden hairpin diagonally inserted into her hair bun, clean and neat, without too many ornaments.
Although the appearance is ordinary, but the eyebrows are kind, and at first glance, it is very good-natured and very good-looking.
Seeing Zheng Wanru bring Qiduo in, the woman immediately got up and stood up, looked at Qiduo and smiled.
"Hello Mrs. Kang." Qiduo stepped forward and took the initiative to say hello.
"Bh. Hello girl. Mrs. Kang also responded with a smile.
It's just that I don't know the identity of the seven flowers. I don't know what to call it.
"Mrs. Kang. This is my niece's daughter, Qiduo. Zheng Wanru smiled and introduced Qiduo.
"Hello Miss Seven." Mrs. Kang immediately changed her name again.
Qiduo saw that this Mrs. Kang was very respectful to Zheng Wanru, and it could be seen that the identities of the two were not equal, and Mrs. Kang's status was lower.
But she was not used to being called a young lady, so she smiled and waved her hand, "Mrs. Kang, you still call me Qiduo, I'm sorry." I'm sorry to talk to you and your aunt. ”
"It's okay, I'll sit down and leave." Mrs. Kang responded politely.
Qiduo smiled at her, then looked at Zheng Wanru and handed her the shoes, "Auntie, this is the shoes made by the eldest sister for you, I don't know if they fit or not, you have to try them when you are free." If something is not good, the eldest sister said to help you redo it. ”
"Ahh I said casually last time, Erxia, this kid still remembers it. Zheng Wanru was slightly surprised. He smiled and took the burden and unfolded.
Looking at the shoes like handicrafts, not only Zheng Wanru praised it, but even Mrs. Kang on the side had her eyes lit up.
"Which lady made these shoes?" Mrs. Kang asked.
"Mrs. Huikang, my eldest sister did it." Qiduo replied with a smile.
"It's really a clever girl, where are you willing to wear these shoes, it's really good, the girl is so hard-working." Mrs. Kang praised again.
Zheng Wanru compared the size of the shoes, and said to Mrs. Kang with a smile, "Mrs. Kang, do you think you don't know, Sister Qiduo is not only ingenious, well-behaved, and looks more like a fairy. ”
Mrs. Kang's eyes were brighter, and there was an inexplicable light that jumped a few times.
She looked at Qiduo, then pursed her lips, swallowing some words for a while, just following behind and praising them.
"Qiduo, after I go back, thank you Xie Erxia for me, saying that I like shoes very much, so she is tired, your family is really busy these days, it's hard for her to find time to help me make shoes." Zheng Wanru was a little moved.
A pair of shoes isn't worth much, but it's a lot of heart.
She never felt anything when she helped others, but if someone gave her a little something, she would always remember it.
"Auntie, you're polite again." Seven flowers are slightly angry.
Zheng Wanru smiled, and when Qiduo was about to get up to say goodbye, she immediately asked, "Qiduo, when will Luhuapo start reclamation, you can discuss which crops to prepare, more than 500 acres, if you don't want to delay spring ploughing, you have to invite a lot of people to help." Has this manpower matter been resolved? ”
These questions are exactly what Qiduo's family is planning right now.
Asked to the point.
Seeing her ask, Qiduo did not hide it, and said, "Auntie, our family has discussed, it is a hillside, and it is the first year of planting, and we are going to plant some crops that are drought-tolerant and can fertilize the field." In addition to crops, I also want to plant trees like peach and apricot mulberry trees, but I don't know where to buy these saplings. ”
Due to the inconvenient transportation, the seven trees did not dare to plant all fruit trees for the time being.
Zheng Wanru nodded, "Seven flowers, this idea is complete, there are several kinds of crops, you can see which crops are most suitable for growing in such soil, and there can be more varieties in the coming year." It's just that I don't know where I have this sapling, but don't worry, I'll ask your uncle when I go back and ask him to help you inquire. ”
"Well, that's good." Qiduo responded, and he was not polite.
"Mrs. Shen, Seventh Girl, Hulin Town is rich in wood, I heard that there are all kinds of saplings there, but they are far away, otherwise, you can go and take a look." Mrs. Kang said softly on the side.
Seven flowers are busy.
Tang Hu is familiar with Hulin Town, you can ask him to find out, and solve a matter invisibly.
Later, Zheng Wanru took the initiative to tell Qiduo that her short-term salary was twenty yuan a day, not including food and accommodation.
And said that if the Qiduo family is not enough, she will help contact it at that time.
She asked Huang about buying lotus root again, and told Qiduo to make this business beautiful, which will definitely help in the future.
Seven positive colors are called yes.
After saying a few more words, Qiduo said goodbye to Zheng Wanru and Mrs. Kang and went to Patriarch Tan's house.
As soon as Qiduo left, Mrs. Kang looked at Zheng Wanru and said without words, "Mrs. Shen, there is something I want to ask, but I'm afraid it's too abrupt." (To be continued......)
