San'er's mother-in-law was boiling porridge for her family in the morning of this day, the man went to repair the road with the brothers in the village early in the morning, and the father-in-law went to a few laborless families to help, and he and his mother-in-law were ready to cook a meal, waiting for their grandfather to come back.

A lady stood in front of the fence of the ground and shouted to her house; "Is the third mother-in-law at home? Is Aunt Sun at home? ”

The third mother-in-law hurriedly put down the work in her hand, wiped her hands on the apron and greeted her; "I'm the third mother-in-law, is there anything wrong with this little lady?"

The little lady said with a smile; "You registered with the secretary that you can make clothes?"

The third mother-in-law was stunned, but immediately remembered that when she first entered the cottage, the cottage required everyone to register their skills, and the father registered the craft of weaving the frame, and she and her mother-in-law registered the craft of sewing clothes, and they were busy; "Little lady, it's like this, my mother-in-law and I do know these crafts." Then he asked tremblingly: "But what kind of conscription?" ”

The lady in white smiled heartily when she heard this: "Where is the kind of servitude, I have some work here." ”

Hearing this, the third daughter-in-law put her heart down and waited for the lady to speak.

"That's good, now you need to make 5,000 sets of military uniforms on the ground, this is what the clothes look like, see what the sister-in-law can do?" The little lady said and took out a piece of paper, which was the style of a set of clothes, the third mother-in-law took it and looked at it, I don't know the words on the drawing, but the style is still recognized, the pattern on it is different from the Hanfu of the Central Plains, closer to the Mongolian Hufu, Fuxian is close to Mongolia, and the Hufu has seen more, so I am busy; "So that the little lady knows, my mother-in-law and I have made this Hu costume, it's not very difficult, I don't know what the little lady commands?" At this time, the mother-in-law also walked out of the nest to see, and the mother-in-law took a step back and asked the mother-in-law to step forward.

The little lady stepped forward and said to her mother-in-law: "That's the case, this mother-in-law, we need 5,000 sets of military uniforms on the Black Tiger Army, and we need everyone's help to make it, I went to the registration office to check, I know that your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law know this craft, I don't know if you can undertake it?" ”

When the mother-in-law saw that it was wanted by the army, she immediately said; "Since it's a cottage thing, my wife and daughter-in-law will definitely do it, and ask the little lady to send a job." When he said this, he secretly let out a sigh, "It's okay, don't let us make the fabric, this is kindness." ”

"Mother-in-law misunderstood, we are not forced, according to the rules of the king, how much can you do in ten days, please report the number, if it is not wasted, we will pay according to the salary of five catties of white rice per set, and there is also two taels of lamp oil every day, do you think it is good?" The little lady discussed.

Mother-in-law was stunned, did the conscripts sent down from above still pay the wages? What kind of world is this?

"Auntie, don't you want to do it? If not, then I'll find someone else. The little lady was not half unhappy, and she was about to accept the pattern. The mother-in-law immediately retracted her hand and said with a smile; "The little lady misunderstood, this sewing and mending is my and my daughter-in-law's ability, where will it not? It's just that I was a little stunned when I heard that we had to pay the salary, in fact, we eat and drink in the cottage, and it is within the scope of the work to do some work for the cottage, and we don't need to be paid, but can we give more lamp oil? My wife is afraid that things on the cottage will be delayed. ”

"Haha, that's the case, when we came, King Chuang also knew everyone's thoughts, so he repeatedly told us that the salary should be paid, but the lamp oil is negotiable according to your living meter."

After putting it off for a while, the mother-in-law decided to accept the salary and took over twenty sets of work, which is the ability of her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in ten days, but at the same time, she can earn 100 catties of white rice and 6 catties of lamp oil.

The little lady happily handed over the cloth and needlework, and went to the next house.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hurriedly cooked for the man, and began to busily open in front of the nest at dawn, but after a while, they saw the two little ladies walking out of the village with a lot of cloth with sad faces. The mother-in-law knew that it didn't seem to be good, so she put down the needle and thread in her hand and went to the road; "I don't know why the two little ladies are worried? Do you want my wife to help? ”

One of the little ladies in white stood down when she saw her mother-in-law asking; "Mother-in-law, I thought that we had more mothers-in-law in the village and could stop more work, but those mothers-in-law only knew how to needle and thread and couldn't cut materials, so our task was not completed, and Captain Chunlan was to blame."

When the mother-in-law heard this, she was stunned, and she was stunned that her sleeves were being pulled, but when she turned around, it was her daughter-in-law who was giving her a look.

"The two little ladies go slowly, and I will discuss it with my mother-in-law."

"The lady of the Sun family will go and discuss, I'll wait for you for a while." The lady in white said humbly.

The daughter-in-law pulled her mother-in-law aside and whispered; "Mother-in-law, I see that the cottage is in urgent need of military uniforms, our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are cutting in this style, and the other mothers-in-law and aunts in the village can only sew, why don't we take over the cutting work, we cut the appearance and fabric, and send it to other sisters to sew, the cottage gives us each set of five catties of white rice and two taels of lamp oil, and we give other sisters four catties of white rice and two taels of lamp oil, so that we can also earn some wealth from it, mother-in-law looks at the daughter-in-law's idea is good?"

The mother-in-law was in favor of it at the time, but she couldn't bear to deduct a pound of white rice, and said angrily; "How can this be done for the sake of copycats? Have you forgotten what your father-in-law said to your man? It's wrong for us to ask for so much white rice for the cottage, how can we be greedy? ”

The daughter-in-law blushed and apologized.

But the two little ladies listened to the conversation between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and immediately stepped forward happily; "Mother-in-law is wrong, King Chuang said, for the base to do things, get paid this is a matter of course, this is fair, your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have the craft of cutting, while other sisters can only sew, it is your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law out of technology, so the reasonable difference during the earning period itself is a matter of course, my sister-in-law is not wrong, this also solves the urgent need of the cottage, and people and themselves are good, if there is no your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cutting skills, then your village sisters do not have the four catties of rice income, you are not only not ashamed but great kindness."

Another lady in white also persuaded her to do the same, and it took a long time for her mother-in-law to turn around.

At that moment, the two little ladies in white summoned the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the village, and according to the speed of their own hands and feet, they recognized 200 sets of work. At the moment, I received the task and lamp oil white rice, and in this back and forth, the third daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law earned 180 catties of white rice plus their own 40 catties in these ten days, which is a full 220 catties. The ashamed mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't expect the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the village to thank their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law without a mouth, which was really unexpected.

In the evening, the daughter-in-law told her father-in-law and the man about it, but she got a lot of the man's answer. It is said that the mother and mother-in-law forgot their roots, and they still need to be paid for doing things for the base? It's a disgrace to yourself and your dad. The father also blew his beard and glared at his wife, and after speaking, he took the rice bag and went to the cottage overnight.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also felt that they should not be, so they relied on their father and son, but the work in their hands could not be delayed, and they lit a precious oil lamp and began to cut clothes for the sisters in the village.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day before dawn, the father and son not only pushed back the more than 200 catties of white rice, but also 100 catties on the wheelbarrow, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very puzzled. "I'm going to build a road." It's over.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law asked their father. Daddy took a breath and sat on the kang in the ground; "Hugh Ti Hugh Ti." When I asked again, I had to say, "Last night I pushed the grain with the kid to the cottage to find King Chuang to retreat, the result is that many people have the same mind as me, all of them are blocking the road of the cottage, and it took a long time for King Chuang to come back dirty to meet, we said the reason, King Chuang's eyes are red, I really saw King Chuang's eyes are red." When he said this, his father's eyes were also red, and his mother began to touch her tears.

"But King Chuang said that to do things for the base is to give a reward, just as it is natural that we will pay rent in the future, and this is fairness. You know? The wife and daughter-in-law, King Chuang said that it was fair. ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law nodded together. "So we pushed these white rice back, and at that time King Chuang said a lot bitterly, and then a man from the craftsman battalion came to find King Chuang to guide something, and King Chuang gave us a fist; All please, for the base, the completion of quality and quantity, is the greatest contribution to the cottage, I am still busy, so I will not accompany my father. "It's already a child's time, you know? It's time, King Chuang still has to be busy, it seems that King Chuang didn't sleep tonight. When he said this, his eyes turned red again.

"Don't be long-winded, old man, let me ask you why you have an extra hundred catties of white rice?" The old woman asked anxiously.

"This 100 catties of white rice is the job of weaving 50 earthen baskets for the base area in a month, it should be that each earthen basket is not counted as rattan to give five catties of white rice, but I can't lose my conscience, so I just asked for 50 catties, am I too greedy?" Dad looked at his wife with tears in his eyes, hoping to get an answer from his wife, who had been saying for a long time; "We just have to do it well."

On the morning of that day, the whole village knew the news that King Chuang had not slept all night, and the whole village began to be busy with their own work, and on the tenth day, when the two little ladies in white came to collect the clothes, they made two hundred and eight sets of clothes from two hundred sets of fabric, and the stitches and handiwork were absolutely impeccable.

For this reason, the tenth village of Huluyu was once again rewarded by the cottage.

It was an afternoon, and inadvertently, more than a dozen horseback riders came to the village, or the king of Chuang, who was dressed in white with a peaceful smile on his face, and a great commander like an iron tower, and a beautiful little lady in a fiery red dress came to the village together, and distributed two feet of flower cloth to each mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the village, and every woman in the village sewed this piece of flower cloth in front of the placket, which became a different decoration from other village women, which was the reward of King Chuang, the general and the little lady of Chunlan, It is the distinctive place of the tenth village of Huluyu, and it is also the glory of the mother-in-law of the tenth village.
