Chapter 12 Make purses and black beans
Back in the house, Aunt Li's mother and daughter were still a little unsatisfied, because it was so delicious, everyone ate a lot, and Ruyu even ate her little belly up, and shouted "It's so supportive." Aunt Li and Youqing saw her like this, and said to Lin Zhu with an embarrassed smile: "Xiaozhu, the food you cooked is so delicious, we can't help but eat it all, look at me, a lot of age is still greedy, hehe." "Me too, it's the first time I've eaten such delicious noodles, I've eaten too much, Xiaozhu don't laugh at my sister."
"Auntie, Sister Youqing, you are too polite, I will make it next time if you like to eat. You take such good care of me, you don't have to worry about this little thing. Lin Zhu was very happy to see them eating, and he felt very satisfied. That's it, that's it, I'm going to eat Xiaozhu in the future. Ruyu also followed on the side, she liked Lin Zhu very much from the first time she saw her, she was not like other little girls of the same age in the village, because she was a child of the village chief's family on the surface, but behind her back she laughed at her for nothing. Most of the girls in the village learned needlework at the age of six or seven, and also learned to cook, and some of them were ingenious, and they could embroider handkerchiefs, purses, and the like. Only Ruyu is a slow learner, coupled with a playful temperament, and gradually gets a little far away from the circle of her peers, and she will occasionally hear what she talks about behind her back, and she feels very sad. Now that she met Lin Zhu, not only did she not laugh at her, but also took the initiative to teach her to cook, and she didn't know how to needlework, and she had to learn with her.
Everyone talked and laughed, and it was considered to be a break for a while, Aunt Li and Youqing pulled Lin Zhu to measure her size, making clothes is more troublesome than making quilts, and to make a middle coat and a coat, how can it be done tomorrow morning, Aunt Li and Lin Zhu said okay, take it home today, and send it to her after it is done. Lin Zhu thought for a while, "Auntie, I'll take it tomorrow, I still have something I want to ask the village chief." Lin Zhu thought that he had to ask the village chief about the field, it should be almost time to harvest autumn, and he couldn't do any work, even if he had to hire someone to work, it was safer to pass the village chief.
Seeing that Lin Zhu had something to go to her house, Aunt Li remembered that Lin Changqing had told her about Lin Zhu's field earlier, and she felt that Lin Zhu would meet for this matter, and they would say it more clearly and clearly in person, so they agreed.
After Aunt Li measured the size, she cut it first, and Lin Youqing was not skilled in making clothes, so she taught the two of them to make purses. Because they were all rags, the three of them first picked out everything that looked like they could be spliced together, sewed them up first, and then made them into purses. In this way, there are many joints in the purse, Lin Youqing thought about it, and found a piece of fabric left over from the quilt to make the lining. The purse that comes out of this way is beautiful and durable. The first one to make is a purse with an overall red tone, there are lychee red brocade and Qian red fine Luo, peach satin, etc., all kinds of red are staggered together, the effect of splicing is very good, as soon as it is done, such as jade immediately in the hand, turn over and turn over to see, a look of can't put it down. Seeing her like this, Lin Zhu couldn't help but want to tease her, "Xiaoyu, this purse is beautiful, who do you want to give her to?" Sister Youqing has been working for a long time, it's very hard, and it's also very hard for my aunt to make clothes, you can help me think about it, who is it good for? When Ruyu heard this, she was very anxious, she liked this purse very much, it was all kinds of red she liked, she was really reluctant to give it to her sister and mother, but Lin Zhu's words made her very embarrassed, to give it or not to give it, Ruyu's little face was full of tangled expressions. Youqing looked at her funny on the side, Lin Zhu was obviously as big as Xiaoyu, but she always felt like a sister and tolerated Xiaoyu, which would tease her naughtily and deliberately, and she could see that she was very compatible with Xiaoyu.
Ruyu saw that Lin Zhu was thinking about who to give it to very seriously, but she didn't see how reluctant she was to this purse, her little head turned, and she begged Aunt Li who was still cutting clothes, "Mother, you see how beautiful this purse is, a lot of lust I like, isn't it, mother, you like blue, let me give this one, I will definitely make you a better look, okay?" Aunt Li still didn't understand what was going on, "This is made of cloth bought by Xiaozhu, of course she has the final say, you go and ask her." ”
"Xiaozhu wants to give it to her mother or sister." Aunt Li looked at Lin Zhu and Youqing, and found that both of them were snickering, and instantly understood, Xiaozhu saw that Ruyu liked this purse so much, and teased her there, and couldn't bear to look at her little daughter's tangled little face, "Xiaozhu and my sister are teasing you, this must be for you." ”
Ruyu reacted suddenly, turned her head to look at her sister and Lin Zhu, only to realize that she had been tricked, and pounced on Lin Zhu's side, tickling her, "Tell you to play me, tell you to play me." "Ha Lu Ha, it's so itchy, Xiao Yu, don't dare next time, Ha Lu Ha, it's so itchy." Lin Zhu twisted his body, avoiding Xiaoyu's bad hands, but he couldn't match her strength, so he could only open his mouth and beg for mercy.
"Xiaoyu, don't make trouble, come and put away your purse." Youqing opened his mouth to relieve Lin Zhu. "We're still doing a few more, come over and help." Hearing her sister's words, Ruyu had no choice but to let Lin Zhu go for the time being, "Hmph, for the sake of the purse, let you go first." Ruyu proudly walked back to her sister's side with victorious steps. Lin Zhu shook his head helplessly, he was weak from laughing just now, and it took a while to return to normal.
"You two really. All came over to help. If you don't help, you don't want it. In order to do the rest quietly, Youqing took out the majesty of her sister.
However, it was very laborious to splice the fabric and sew the purse, and only two were made in two hours, but the rest of the fabrics to be spliced were done. Aunt Li also cut the middle coat and outer clothes, and half of the middle clothes were made, because the time was not early, Aunt Li and the three wanted to say goodbye and go back, and by the way, they also took away the clothes and purse materials to be made. Go back and do it, and wait for Lin Zhu to get it the next day.
After sending away Aunt Li, Lin Zhu cleaned up the house. I simply made some porridge, finished eating, took a bath with warm water, and waited for everything to be cleaned up, it was dark, and there was no entertainment at night in this era, so I could only go to bed early and get up early, make it at sunrise, and rest at sunset, and today there is a newly made quilt, Lin Zhu is looking forward to the coming of bedtime. took off his clothes and lay on the bed, the newly made quilt was soft, very comfortable to the touch, and very warm on the body, the previous quilt was also used as a mattress under him, and the bed became soft, Lin Zhu couldn't help but roll a few times on the bed with the quilt, and finally had a good night's sleep today.
At night, the sky is bright, and the grass on the ground can be seen clearly. Lin Zhu, who was sleeping soundly, heard something screaming outside the house. The voice is not loud, not like a human voice, like an animal, whimpering intermittently, but it is very noisy. Lin Zhu, who had been disturbed by his good sleep, was very angry, got dressed, got up and lit the lamp, and wanted to see what was there. For safety, he also took a wooden stick in his hand. Under the moonlight, she searched in the yard and didn't find anything, but the whimpering sound kept coming, as if it was outside the yard, Lin Zhu was a little scared, she was the only one here, if there was something wrong outside the yard, she couldn't deal with it.
The sound outside gradually came and went, feeling very weak, Lin Zhu had the courage to open the courtyard door, looked left and right, found nothing, thought it was his own illusion, turned around and was about to go back to the courtyard, found that under the corner of the wall next to the gate, there was a small black animal, lying there, at this time there was no sound, only a slightly undulating body showed that it was still alive.
Lin Zhu walked over cautiously, squatted down, wanted to see what it was, touched it with his hand, there was no reaction, touched it again, the little black head moved slightly, and slowly looked up at Lin Zhu in front of him.
It turned out to be a black puppy, but it was too small, as if it hadn't been weaned yet, Lin Zhu carefully picked up the puppy, and the puppy struggled a few times at first, but when it got used to the warmth of Lin Zhu's arms, the puppy became quiet.
Lin Zhu took the puppy back to the house, found an old clothes that he didn't wear, made a nest, put it in a corner of the house, put the puppy in it, and went to the kitchen to heat up the bone broth that was not used up at noon and put it out in a bowl, and after letting it cool down a little, put it in front of the puppy. The puppy smelled the aroma of the soup, sniffed lightly with its little nose, and as soon as it found the location of the soup, he couldn't wait to lick it with his tongue. The little pink tongue moves and is very cute. The puppy ate very deliciously, and it was finished after a while, and the puppy, who was full of food and drink, fell asleep quietly in the nest.
Lin Zhu looked at the puppy that suddenly appeared, and thought that he originally wanted to raise one, if he raised it from a young age, the dog would be more obedient and easy to raise. Lin Zhu felt that since he came here, his luck had become very good. first got acquainted with Aunt Li, and then became friends with Ruyu, and Sister Youqing also had a good impression of her, and now there is a puppy. Life suddenly became beautiful in her eyes.
After tossing for a while, Lin Zhu was also sleepy, and he quickly fell asleep while lying on the bed. The next morning, in the midst of a puppy barking, Lin Zhu woke up, looking at the puppy running around under the bed, she remembered that she had picked it up last night. After a night's rest, the puppy looked refreshed and not at all like it was dying yesterday. But it seemed that he was hungry, the puppy kept barking under the bed, and he put the bowl he used to eat yesterday on his head, and looked at Lin Zhu with his black bean-like eyes.
Lin Zhu, who was defeated by its expectant little eyes, had to get up and prepare breakfast for it and himself. Lin Zhu used to eat porridge in the morning, so he cooked white porridge for himself, and soaked some porridge in bone broth for the puppy.
When I woke up in the morning, I found that the puppy should be full moon, what should I name it? Seeing that it was eating very fragrantly, Lin Zhu thought for a while, "In the future, I will call you Xiao Erhei, or black beans." "But looking at the puppy's ignorance, he shouldn't agree with either name.
"Okay, I've decided, you'll be called Black Bean. Ignoring the dog's protest call, Lin Zhu took the name without authorization.
