Li Er and the others were arranged to clean up the room, washed up briefly, changed into clean clothes, and then went out to eat, just when Princess Changle and Changsun Yiniang came in from outside. I haven't seen her for more than half a year, my daughter has grown taller, and although she is darker than before, her complexion looks very good.

Seeing her father, the eldest princess almost couldn't believe it, rubbed her eyes, it was really her father, and hurriedly ran over, holding her father's arm and not letting go, and exclaimed: "Father, why are you here, Changle misses his father very much." As he spoke, his eyes were red, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Seeing his daughter's expression of dependence and trust, Li Er nodded Princess Changle's forehead and said, "I think you are too happy, you have been out for more than half a year, and I haven't seen you come back." My mother and I miss you very much every day. ”

"Father, people don't want to go back with everyone. If you don't complete the task, you will slip back and lose face. Princess Changle didn't follow, and said coquettishly, "Father, this time my daughter came out, but she learned a lot of things, but she is not the little girl who was different from the mundane things before." ”

Li Er was curious: "Oh, tell me what you learned?" ”

"I learned a lot, such as how to grow cotton, how to grow rice, and how to spin and weave cloth, and the cotton cloth woven is very soft and absorbent. We all like it very much, and my daughter has made a dress for you and your mother, and she will send it to you later. Princess Changle crossed her fingers and counted the same.

Seeing that his daughter was only a little darker and not thin, Li Er nodded: "Well, yes, my father will take a look at the clothes you made later." "I thought of a pair of shoes made by Princess Changle before, the stitches were messy, but they had the shape of shoes; Therefore, Li Er did not have much hope for the clothes made by Princess Changle.

Everyone was hungry and went to the dining room to eat, and Li Chengqian arrived first. I had already started eating, and when I saw my father coming, I quickly swallowed the food in my mouth, rolled my eyes when I was choked, and didn't forget to hurriedly salute Li Er.

"Get up, why did you two eat first?" Li Er frowned and asked.

"Father, we inspected the circle today, and we came back after completing the task, and we didn't lazy." Li Chengqian said respectfully, he just came a little earlier than his eldest cousin. It wasn't meant to be.

In the past, he was behind his eldest cousin, but when he performed today, he actually came back in front of Changsun Chong.

Li Er looked his two sons up and down, there were some mud spots and dust on their bodies, and their hair was still a little messy. The skin is dark, and the son is not lazy and lying. But the two sons are in the place of their eyes. How can it be whiter than anywhere else!

"Yes. That's good! Stand up and eat. "Li Er let go of his two sons this time, and he got the report from the secret guard, and the two sons performed very well. A little rudeness does not negate all their efforts.

Everyone is hungry, when it comes to eating. Very sweet. Li Chengqian and the others were excited because of Li Er's arrival, because the father could see their achievements nearby, which was more real than shoes on paper.

After eating well, Changsun Chong and the others will continue to go out to do things. Li Er also had to follow.

"Father, you have been tired of traveling and traveling, and you have worked hard all the way, so let's stay and rest, there are still ours outside." Li Chengqian stopped and said, although it was already autumn, the autumn tiger was still uncomfortable.

"No, I'm not old enough to be seventy or eighty, go, go out with you, I want to see what you are doing." Li Er waved his hand and got on the horse directly.

Li Chengqian, Li Ke, and Li Yexu are still on the horse and wearing glasses as before, they are used to going out with sunglasses and not worrying about the dazzling sun.

At this time, Li Er was curious and asked, "Cheng Qian, what are you wearing on your face?" ”

Li Chengqian's face was stunned, and he sighed in his heart, while mourning that his sunglasses did not belong to him immediately, he had to answer at the same time: "Father, these are sunglasses, which can block the sun." ”

When Li Er heard this, he accused and reprimanded his two sons for being unfilial with his eyes, and his eyes were afraid of the sun, and he didn't know how to honor him.

Li Chengqian looked at his father's eyes, knew what was going on, quickly took off his eyes, and said: "Father, this day is big, you are working so hard, my son honors his father with sunglasses." ”

Li Er's face looked better, yes, he could still react, he reluctantly took it, and said, "Well, it's still filial piety." ”

Li Er looked at the sun with a new look, although it was a little dark, but he was indeed not afraid of the sun's rays, nodded and said, "Well, not bad, very good." ”

Cheng Yanjin couldn't help it, and reached out to pull Li Yexu on the horse.

"Uncle Cheng, what are you doing?" Li Yexu was afraid that Cheng would bite the gold, because this person was thick-skinned and did not play cards according to common sense. Grandpa is not around, and there is no one to support him, so it's better to be honest.

Cheng Biting Jin's eyes glared, and snatched Li Yexu's sunglasses: "Don't do anything, just borrow your sunglasses to see." "Cheng Biting Jin is not good at taking Li Ke, but he is not so polite to Li Yexu.

Li Yexu's face was not wide, it belonged to a delicate face, and the size of the sunglasses was just right, but Cheng Biting Jin's face was wide, like a silver plate, wearing sunglasses, the two arms of the sunglasses were propped up in all directions, and the sound of cracking was faintly heard.

Li Yexu saw that his beloved sunglasses were destroyed by Cheng Yanjin like this, and said with a bitter face: "Actually, the three brothers of the Cheng family have them, why are you robbing me!" ”

"You kid, you call a few boys in my family brothers all day long, are they all hypocritical? But borrow your sunglasses to wear, why do you need to do this. Cheng bit the golden bull's eyes and glared, so scared that Li Ye didn't dare to let go.

"It's not a shame for you to bully juniors." Although Qin Qiong's eyes are hot, she will not rob other people's things.

As soon as Li Er saw this delicate and novel thing, he knew that he had obtained it from Changsun Chong, looked at Changsun Chong, and put pressure on him.

The eldest grandson hurriedly smiled: "The kid forgot, there are still a few pairs in the house, the four uncles and so on, the kid will go and get it!" ”

The eldest grandson took four sunglasses and gave the largest one to Cheng Yanjin, and the other people's faces were about the same size, and they didn't care too much, so they were divided among the four elders.

Li Er, Cheng Yanjin got new glasses, so he naturally wanted to return the old eyes. Li Chengqian's eyes were okay and were not destroyed by Li Er, but Li Yexu's eyes were not so lucky, they were held up too much, Li Yexu couldn't wear them at all, and one of his glasses seemed to be about to fall off.

A few old creatures put on their sunglasses, laughed at each other, and drove their horses forward.

Li Yexu looked at his unlucky sunglasses sadly, wanting to cry without tears, very pitiful, grandpa, why don't you follow Your Majesty, you are here, Cheng Biting Jin, that old man will not dare to bully me.

Seeing that everyone else was gone, the eldest grandson Chong couldn't see Li Yexu's bitter and hateful expression, so he took out a good pair of sunglasses from his arms and said, "Boy, don't be bitter, this is for you, but there is no more." ”

Li Yexu's eyes lit up when he saw the new sunglasses, and he said, "It's worthy of a family, or my uncle is good to me." ”

"Hurry up, don't be bitter, like someone owes you eight thousand taels of silver." The eldest grandson rushed to push Li Yexu's head away.

The eldest grandson Chong, Li Yexu followed behind, and the front were Li Chengqian, Li Ke, who led the way in front, followed by Li Er and others.

The rice in the paddy field has been harvested late, and there is still some unripe cotton in the cotton field, continue to let it grow, bask in the sun, and dry faster.

In the morning, I usually go to the field or various acquisition points to have a look, and in the afternoon, I usually go to the workshop, such as the quilt sleeve length, the spinning mill, and the quilt cover factory.

When you arrive at the cotton quilt factory, you can hear the sound of playing cotton outside, because it is a workshop, so it is built relatively high, and the rows of houses are very neat.

Li Er was curious and asked, "What kind of voice is it?"

"Dad, this is the sound of playing cotton, and the handful of cotton is bounced with a big bow and arrow." Li Chengqian explained.

It's okay not to explain, it's explained, Li Er doesn't understand, how can this cotton be bounced with a bow!

"Dad, let's go in, you must know what's going on." Li Chengqian urged.

Li Er and the others followed Li Chengqian in, and when they went in, they almost didn't laugh out loud, that bow was too big, and that line didn't meet the requirements, it must be very strong. I saw a person pluck the strings, bounce the balls of cotton together, make a rectangular quilt cover, and finally wrap countless layers of thread back and forth to fix it, it became a thick quilt.

Although Li Er had seen the cotton sent by Changsun Chong last year, he had not seen the process of making the cotton quilt with his own eyes, so he was very curious, and reached out to touch it, well, it was really soft. He had already experimented with it last year and it was warm.

Cheng Biting Jin stepped forward and pressed it hard, and said, "Hey, it's really good, just this thing, can it be warm?" ”

"If you don't believe me, you can wrap yourself in a bed and make sure you're sweating profusely." Li Ye said unhappily, still mourning the sunglasses that broke his leg.

Cheng Yanjin didn't hear it, picked up the Zhengchuang quilt, and said: "It's very light, not bad, not bad, I just held it in my hand for a while, and my hands were full of sweat." ”

"How many quilts can this workshop make in a day?" Li Er asked.

Li Chengqian stepped forward and replied: "There are a total of 300 workers, and they can have 1,000 quilts a day and 30,000 quilts a month. Now there are 5,000 pieces, which are being sewn into quilts from dark blue cotton cloth, and are ready to be shipped to Youzhou tomorrow for the soldiers to keep out the cold. ”

Li Er calculated, and when it was cold, he should be able to make 30,000 quilts, barely enough, nodded and said, "Very good, what about cotton clothes!" ”

Li Chengqian looked at Li Ke, this is Li Ke's responsibility.

Li Ke was a little nervous, and replied respectfully: "Dad, it's the time of the autumn harvest, and many women are busy doing household work, so the quilt and cotton pants haven't started yet." After another half a month, the women of the surrounding seventy or eighty villages will be mobilized to make cotton clothes. Within two months, 30,000 pieces of cotton clothes and pants can be completed. (To be continued......)
