backhaul

The guy sold the rags to Lin Zhu and went back to the store, Aunt Li and Ruyu just came out and saw Lin Zhu holding the big burden, Ruyu asked her curiously: "Xiaozhu, what are you taking?" What a big pack. Lin Zhu opened the corner of the burden and showed it to her, "This is a rag." "What do you want these for, the cloth is too small to use." Ruyu couldn't see what the use of these rags was, and Aunt Li also came over to take a look at it at this time, but she didn't see anything either. "You see, in these rags, there are even brocade ones, let's pick this out and sew it together to make a purse, it should look good, those rags can also be glued together to make soles, so many should be able to make a few pairs, and you can also sew several purses." Lin Zhu hurriedly counted the benefits that these rags could bring, and he knew that it would cost a few pennies to buy a purse, and if he calculated that this pack of rags was used well, he could save a lot of money. After speaking, he looked at Ruyu with some pride. Ruyu looked at the few pieces of brocade rags in the baggage, her eyes sparkling, revealing an expression of eagerness.

When Aunt Li heard her say this, she reluctantly agreed with Lin Zhu's idea, because sometimes she could see such a purse on a street stall or on a burden picked up by a merchant, which could be sold for three or four cents. But in order not to make her too proud, he hit her a little, "But do you know how to make a purse?" One sentence made Lin Zhu, who was proud of his idea just now, suddenly speechless, Ruyu also smiled on the side, Lin Zhu's craftsmanship is rotten, which is impressive.

Then I went to the grocery store that Aunt Li was familiar with, and bought bath beans and soap horns, as well as green salt for brushing teeth. That's pretty much it. So the three of them walked towards Lin Dazhu's ox cart.

Passing by grain and oil shops, blacksmith shops, and shops specializing in selling all kinds of seeds, Lin Zhu remembered them one by one, and wanted to come and have a look when he had the opportunity to come again. At this time, it was almost noon, and the steamers selling steamed buns on the roadside were steaming, and the fragrance was wafting out, seducing hungry people, Ruyu was also attracted by the fragrance of steamed buns, but she was very sensible and didn't let Aunt Li buy it, because she could go home soon. Lin Zhu looked at the steamer, touched his already hungry stomach, and walked over to buy three steamed buns, one penny each, and the size of the buns was also very large. I bought it back with Aunt Li and Ruyu one by one, afraid that Aunt Li would say about her, and pretended to be pitiful and touched her stomach and said that she couldn't walk when she was hungry.

Aunt Li didn't want to brush her mind, she was also distressed Ruyu knew that she was hungry, took the bun, and signaled the two to eat quickly, if they ate in the car, let others see it and gossip.

The buns are very real, and if they are meat buns, they are really full of oil when they take a bite. The three of them ate very deliciously, Ruyu was even more satisfied, and the two of them couldn't help but bow their heads and snicker, and Ruyu, who was a little shy, saw that Lin Zhu was also like this, chasing her and making trouble.

Passing through the corner of the street, I saw Lin Dazhu standing next to the ox cart, and the cotton and cloth sent by Lin Zhu asked the guys from the cloth village to send were also on it, and there were some other things, which should have been bought by others. There were already two villagers waiting in the car, seeing the three of them coming over, Lin Dazhu also breathed a sigh of relief, because the three of them were carrying heavy things, so some people were willing to take the car, and when they went back, the things were sold out, and it was a lot easier, and some people would walk back, and two people came together and said that they would not take the car, and now that Aunt Li and the three of them are over, Lin Dazhu is also relieved.

Everyone was complete, and no one else wanted to go back in the ox cart, so they set off quickly.

The two who arrived first saw Aunt Li coming, and a woman who was about the same age as Aunt Li also greeted first, "Sister-in-law Cuihua, you are also here, it seems that you have bought a lot of things?" "Well, you came early, big lady, you bought some, you want to make a quilt, don't buy some cotton and quilts." Aunt Li looked at the eldest lady and replied, pointed to the things in the car, and turned her head to see Lin Zhu and Ruyu in a low voice How to make a purse, what color looks good, how to look good together, etc. So he said to the eldest lady: "Sister Zhu is alone, there are no elders, and she has never been out, I will take her to a market and know the way." "You said in the morning that she lives in the courtyard of the village Xizhuang, and I haven't seen her before, when did you come?" The eldest lady couldn't help but inquire. "She's been here for a long time, and you'll know the Tao in the future, she's only eight years old, and it's not easy to be alone, so you can help if you can." Sooner or later, the people in the village will know about Lin Zhu's matter, and now it's okay to say it so that people can know about it, so Aunt Li didn't hide it, but she didn't say anything about her being abandoned by her parents.

"If you want to say, it's the village chief's family in our village, who has a good heart, and helps anyone in trouble, but others can't compare, thank him for having more people." Another woman next to her also came to talk, but her tone was always a little sour. Hearing this voice, Ruyu and Lin Zhu also stopped, and looked at her without speaking, "Wen Shanniang, what you said, I just took her to a set, let her know the way, and she can go out by herself in the future, what is this comparable, no one will compare with this, and besides, if you do a favor between neighbors, you don't need to say Xie Lu Xie." Aunt Li didn't like the tone of her speech. Wenshan's father called Lin Changsheng and village chief Lin Changqing are cousins, five years ago when the village elected the village chief, the two brothers were elected to compete for the position of village chief, and Lin Changqing was elected after the last day. It's just that Aunt Li doesn't have the same knowledge as her, but today she said something as if she had received benefits for helping others, and Aunt Li wouldn't do it. "Yo, sister-in-law, I'll just talk about it casually, don't get me wrong, isn't there a forest manager in the courtyard of Xizhuang in this village, why do you still need to come forward?" When Steward Lin was there, he only interacted with the village chief Lin Changqing, and he didn't care when others approached him, Lin Changsheng also tried to make friends with Steward Lin, but he was touched with a gray nose, Wenshan Niang complained about Lin Changqing in his heart after knowing this, thinking that he said bad things behind his back, so Steward Lin ignored Lin Changsheng. Now that Aunt Li came out with Lin Zhu, she thought that they had gained any benefit from Lin Steward, so she wanted to find out.

"The village is Sister Zhu'er's, and Steward Lin is just taking care of it, and now that Sister Zhu is older, of course Steward Lin doesn't need to be here." Aunt Li was a little annoyed by Wen Shanniang's questioning, and after speaking, she turned around and ignored her. But Wen Shanniang was not satisfied with her answer, and wanted to speak again, but was stopped by the big lady next to her, "Okay, it's been a long day, you're not tired, take a break." ”

When Lin Zhu saw this situation, he knew that Aunt Li and this Wenshan Niang didn't seem to deal with each other, and she was a little unhappy, so she and Ruyu found a few rags and showed them to her, "Auntie, look at this, we want to use these to make a purse, how to sew it well?" Aunt Li looked at the two children's flattering smiles, and the unhappiness in her heart disappeared a lot, and she looked at the rags along them, picked them up and compared, to see how to get them right, Lin Zhu and Ruyu took out the rags are all cotton cloth, the large pieces are the size of an adult's palm, and there are also small pieces the size of fingers, and the colors are also different, red, yellow, blue and white.

The eldest lady saw the excitement of what the three of them said, and came over curiously, "Sister-in-law Cuihua, why do you use these rags?" "This is Sister Zhu and Xiaoyu got it back, saying that it was to be used to practice hands and do needlework, no, they want to sew a purse, you can also come and see, how to do it well, you give an idea." The women of the village were always willing to communicate with each other about needlework, and Aunt Li showed her the rags.

Lin Zhu is very willing to be able to make friends with the people in the village, and the eldest lady looks like she can live, although the clothes on her body are old, they are very clean, and her hair is combed very neatly, which looks very clean and neat. Talking is not annoying either, and it should be easy to get along with. Lin Zhu saw that Aunt Li was very familiar with her, and came to her with Ruyu, wanting to hear her ideas.

Wen Shanniang looked at the appearance of the four people, a little depressed, and then saw the rags in their hands, she was very disdainful, what can such a small rag do, sewing it is a waste of needle and thread. "Hmph" snorted, turning away from them.

After discussing all the way, the purse finally had a rough prototype, and Lin Zhu and Ruyu were also very happy and a little eager to try. Back at Linjia Village, when they arrived at their respective doors, Wenshan Niang and Da Guiniang got out of the car, because Lin Zhu had more things, and Aunt Li and Ruyu also followed them to the gate of Lin Zhu's village, and Lin Dazhu also helped to send things into the village. When leaving, Aunt Li said to Lin Zhu that she would bring Ruyu and her sister Lin Youqing to help her make quilts and clothes the next day. Then he put the meat that Lin Zhu bought in the kitchen and went home.

The time is not early, although she ate a bun before coming back, but Lin Zhu is still hungry, she went to the kitchen to cut a little lean meat down and prepare to make lean porridge, and the rest was tied with a rope and hung into the well, ready to be kept for the village chief and Aunt Li.

After lunch, Lin Zhu returned to the house, put the big bag of rags on the table, picked out the cotton cloth and brocade, separated them, and put them separately together. After sorting out these, Lin Zhu was happy in his heart, and he could learn to do needlework with Ruyu tomorrow and take the first step to survive in this era.

Aunt Li and Ruyu, who returned home, also told the village chief Lin Changqing what happened today, when they heard that Lin Zhu bought so many things, Lin Changqing was also a little strange, and then heard Aunt Li say that Lin Zhu also bought a lot of meat and ribs, and understood in his heart that Lin Zhu bought it to invite them to dinner, and it could be seen that what Lin Zhu said to Aunt Li before was serious, and he had a better impression of Lin Zhu.
