Chapter 10 Making Shoes
"Auntie?" Ah Yuan was puzzled, was it the sour woman he met by the riverside today? With her face, will she be interested in making shoes for little Arwen to wear? If it were really possible, it wouldn't be that the little guy is still walking barefoot in the world, right?
"Relatives are also busy, these shoes, or I learned to make the most convenient, there are still many younger brothers and sisters in the family." Ah Yuan didn't dare to count on that aunt to help, it was better to ask for others than for himself, this truth was clear in his previous life.
Cai Lian lowered her head, and Aunt Li smiled awkwardly: "That's right, you have a heart to be a sister-in-law, and your aunt is allowed to protect the church." ”
It's no wonder that Aunt Li dared to pack the ticket and took out a small bag from the cabinet, which turned out to be a variety of fat and thin shoes, adults and children, all carefully left an image on the straw paper, and also pasted the thickness out, which is easier to preserve.
"Oh, just this pair, my second boy's shoes, Ah Wen is allowed to wear them!" Aunt Li shook off a pair of slightly smaller paper patterns.
Ah Yuan put the paper pattern of the upper and the sole together, carefully studied it for a long time, and continued to ask: "What do you need to pay attention to in the upper?" What are the soles made of? When it is put together, it is buttoned and sewn up like this? Or is it like this, leaving a edge on the outside? ”
Aunt Li laughed: "The Chengguang family really hasn't made shoes?" Wait, my aunt will show you the sample—"
In a basket at the head of the bed, there is a pair of unfinished shoes, probably made for the men in the family, very large, no problem to make samples.
Ah Yuan seriously inquired about the procedure of how to transform the appearance of shoes into shoes, and even how to make the "cloth shelf" used to make the soles of shoes.
The lotus girl also listened attentively, although this little girl was silent, she had not let go of Ah Yuan, but she was kind and hardworking in nature.
When the aunt and sister-in-law said goodbye and went home, it was already dark outside, holding the big needles and coarse cotton threads on the soles of the shoes given by Aunt Li, and a large "cloth shelf" that had been pasted and dried.
This can be regarded as a luxury gift, people who live a life, save up some waste clothes and cloth, wash them, and then make a pot of cornmeal muddy, brush on the cloth while it is hot, and attach it to the flat wooden board table one by one to piece together and iron it up, become a thick and uniform "cloth shelf", and then, put it in the sun to expose it, and when it is dry, take it off, cut off a few layers according to the size of the sole, and then wrap a narrow cloth edge, you can put it up to make the sole.
Cai Lian said to Ah Yuan in a whisper: "I've seen my grandmother make shoes, and I know the bottom-"
Ah Yuan twisted his face in the dark and smiled at the little girl: "Then you can just help me do it, and when we both learn, the next pair of shoes will be made for you, okay?" ”
I couldn't see the expression clearly, and in the haze, the little girl seemed to sigh, and when she came to the door of her house, she spit out a few words left: "Give - Arwen do." ”
Cai Lian fumbled and inserted the latch inside, and in the main room, the faint light was flickering, and Ah Yuan was holding the "cloth shelf", and lost his direction under his feet.
To go in, or not to go in, that's the question.
In the room of the three Arwen brothers, there was still a faint sound of talking, and Cailian's own room was black and hollow.
The little girl didn't hear Ah Yuan's inner cry at all, and groped for the bowl to put it in the stove room, but without saying hello, she went into her own room.
Ah Yuan suddenly felt embattled.
Running out and sleeping on the streets? Don't think about this idea, you haven't forced it to that yet!
In the flickering light, a figure gradually moved to the door, and the slightly cramped voice sounded again: "That-back-back?" ”
Listen, in this era of ignorance and backwardness, women have to omit even their names.
In the Li family, they were called "Sister-in-law Bai" and "Chengguang's family", and when they returned home, they became "that" again.
Ah Yuan shook his head, shook away the messy thoughts in his head, and suddenly made up his mind and strode into the house.
"I-fetched water, you, wash-". The man who didn't get an answer didn't mind, and smiled innocently as usual, scratching his head, and looking at Ah Yuan.
"Okay—xiexie, you." The polite girl had to answer, holding the "cloth shelf" and looking for a place to place.
"Give it to me." Bai Lao was a little natural, and his fan-like palm reached over, and he took it, not asking much.
Ah Yuan stretched out his hand into the wooden basin, and his mood suddenly improved again, and inside was comfortable warm water.
After washing his face and neck, Ah Yuan's tone was much gentler, and he put down the uneasiness all over his body, and then asked: "Chengguang, where is the footbath?" ”
Boss Bai, who had just spoken neatly, suddenly stammered again: "That-just--just this one-basin-"
Ah Yuan's feet are another stumbling, okay, just this basin, wash your face and feet, and take a bath at the same time-
Or - a family share!
took a breath, exhaled again, Ah Yuanha went to move the wooden basin, okay, follow the customs, our feet must also be washed!
A large dark shadow covered her, and two large hands took the tub and placed it in front of the bed.
Ah Yuan didn't dare to think deeply, so he took off his shoes and socks and soaked his feet in warm water.
Then, it was sad.
Girl with wet feet, where is the footcloth?
Could it be the cloth towel that wiped your face just now?
Ah Yuan looked at Boss Bai sadly, brother, your life has been a little shabby, and people are not lazy, what the hell is the mix?
A little woman like us, still with a lame leg, didn't get into such a scene in her previous life!
It seems that Bai Chengguang heard the inner cry of his new daughter-in-law, and Dapu Fan handed over a cloth towel in shame.
Fortunately, although the color is gray, it is not the same as the one that wiped the face.
It would be nice if there was a little less smell.
Ah Yuan put his bare feet on the bed and put down his trouser legs, but saw Bai Chengguang stretching his feet into the basin of water.
"Hehe, in this way, save water, save trouble-", Boss Bai's favorite eyebrows are trembling with the oil lamp, washing his wife's leftover water, pouring water very happily.
Well, let's turn a blind eye.
Ah Yuan simply rolled into the bed, naturally wrapped the quilt around his body, and when this guy came back from pouring water, we had to have a small meeting for him, and set certain rules for getting along in the future.
At the very least, it is not allowed to hit women.
Then, without our consent, you can't do that-that, you have to give an account to haode, right?
If you are not careful, when you are determined to run away, you have a bun in your stomach, but it is very bad!
