Whose daughter-in-law doesn't know how to make shoes? If anyone goes to the shop to buy shoes to wear, they will be scolded as a loser, so it is better to spend some effort to do it themselves. It's just that the third aunt didn't think about it, if every family made shoes to wear, why would there still be shoe shops?

Guo Mianmian heard the concerns of the third aunt, and said with a smile: "Third aunt, if you sell tiger head shoes as ordinary shoes, you must not be able to sell them at a high price, what if these shoes can drive away ghosts and evil spirits?" ”

"Exorcise demons and ward off evil spirits?" The third aunt's eyes widened, and she questioned her ears: "Just a pair of shoes, how can you drive away ghosts and evil spirits?" ”

Guo Mianmian shook his head and said confidently: "We all believe that hanging a black dog tooth on the head of the bed of the bare son can ward off evil spirits, so there will be people who trust the tiger head that is more powerful than the black dog to ward off evil spirits, so wouldn't it be possible to make shoes with tiger heads?" ”

In the previous life, tiger head shoes are also called cat head shoes, about the children who wear it, it is a kind of auspicious object, I heard that it has the effect of driving away ghosts and evil spirits. Although tiger head shoes are the most troublesome to make, since they can confuse adults like the third aunt, they can also confuse children of several years old, which shows that tiger head shoes have environmental trends.

Zhuanghu people will not spend money to buy a pair of tiger head shoes, but there are more rich people in the town and county, magnifying the results of tiger head shoes to ward off evil spirits and driving away ghosts, and some people hold silver to buy, from which to make a sum of money is not no.

The third aunt is not a fool, she was so plucked by Guo Mianmian, slapped her thigh and said, "Cheng, I think it is, this method is good!" ”

Every year on the Hebo Festival, every family has to weave colorful threads for their children to ward off evil spirits, not to mention whether this colorful line can be used to ward off evil spirits, but no matter how poor people are, they will buy a few on this day and tie them back to their children.

If you really want to say what it is, just pull out the source and say that it came from a small place in the south, who would go to the south to ask for a pair of shoes? It's an auspicious thing, it's a peace of mind, who will count those who don't have it?

Thinking of this, the third aunt felt that it was most feasible to use this method to make money, and said with burning eyebrows: "Mianmian, tell me what kind of charter this is?" If you can really earn money, you will take the big head and the aunt will take the small head. ”

Guo Mianmian didn't expect the third aunt to be in such a hurry, and she was quite helpless in the next time: "Third aunt, I also made a temporary decision on this matter, what should I do, you have to let me think about it again, and I will report to you when I have sorted it out, what do you think?" ”

The third aunt knew that this kind of thing was in a hurry, so she could only suppress the anxiety in her heart, and nodded hurriedly: "Okay, when will you report to the third aunt when you have a clear idea, the third aunt has no ability, and the third aunt can make up a few for you." ”

"Okay, then let's settle it first." Guo Mianmian values the third aunt's straightforwardness, and also knows that the third aunt is kind and reliable, if she can really partner with the third aunt to do the business of tiger head shoes, she thinks it is the most feasible.

The third aunt was very happy, and her inner thoughts were the same as Guo Mianmian's. At this time, who in the village didn't know that Guo Mianmian was a capable person who could support her mother's family in just over a year, and it didn't make sense that it would be impossible to go to her mother-in-law's house.

Just knowing that Guo Mianmian was reliable, he made the tiger head shoes to make money, and the third aunt still agreed without hesitation, relying on her confidence in Guo Mianmian.

The Meng family who listened to the audience was in a fog, only knowing that his daughter-in-law was going to partner with her cousin in business. She wanted to ask, but she didn't know where to start, so she simply closed her mouth and focused on picking eggs, hoping to ask her daughter-in-law carefully when she returned.

With the assistance of Guo Mianmian and the third aunt, the speed of picking eggs was much faster, and soon the more than 50 eggs taken out by the third aunt were selected, and 20 eggs that could be hatched were also selected.

Meng wanted to leave the eggs that could not hatch chicks at home, and according to the convention, two for one. It's just that the two families have a good relationship, and it is possible to do business in partnership at this time, and the third aunt refuses to ask for it no matter what, so she only lets the Meng family take it back and make it for Guo Mianmian to eat, which is her affection as an aunt.

Forty eggs is not a small amount, and it can be exchanged for dozens of dollars in the town! Guo Mianmian and Meng didn't want to take advantage of this, so the three of them pushed back and forth for a while, until the third aunt got angry, and Meng had no choice but to take back the basket containing eggs.

When Guo Mianmian and Meng Shi said goodbye to the third aunt with eggs, they suddenly came out of nowhere.

"Ah, no wonder I didn't find my mother and sister-in-law, you are here!" Niu walked in with an empty bamboo basket and looked at Guo Mianmian and Meng with a look of surprise.

When Meng Shi heard this, his brows furrowed firmly, and anyone could see her dislike, and even her tone became not very kind: "What are you looking for my wife and your sister-in-law to do?" ”

Niu's eyes were red, and he said aggrievedly: "The old hen at home has a nest, but there are no eggs at home, so I want to borrow a few from my mother, and return them to my mother when the hatched chickens lay eggs." ”

If they hadn't seen through Niu's true face earlier, seeing her like this at this time, the three of them would be serious. But not long after the big drama on the first day of the first lunar month, the third aunt has not forgotten how the seemingly weak little daughter-in-law in front of her slandered her sister-in-law, let alone Guo Mianmian and Meng.

At this time, seeing that Niu's family was so able to pretend, several people were very tired, especially Guo Mianmian, who was unwilling to even save face, and said coldly: "There are no eggs that can be hatched at home, so these few are still exchanged with the third aunt's family, if you want eggs, go to other houses and ask!" ”

didn't think about it, as soon as these words came out, Niu's seemed to be bullied, and tears fell: "Sister-in-law, I know you don't want to see me, but I was really wronged, I didn't instruct Mu to slander you, you have to trust me!" ”

Guo Mianmian was so disgusted by Niu's coy attitude that she didn't even look at her with dirty eyes, so she simply ignored her and said directly to Meng's: "Mother, let's come back quickly, these eggs have to hatch as soon as possible." ”

Meng Shi generally didn't want to talk to Niu's empty words, so he didn't look at Niu when he heard the words, and took Guo Mianmian's hand and reminded him gently: "Be careful, don't touch it." ”

Guo Mianmian smiled and nodded, grabbed Meng's arm, and walked out of the courtyard gate of the third aunt's house with the same warmth as when he came. When passing by Niu's, neither the mother-in-law nor daughter-in-law gave Niu's a look.

Niu's expression, which was ignored, turned white, and his weak body began to sway, not knowing whether it was sad or angry.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, the third aunt hurriedly took off the key hanging on the wall and said to Niu: "Auntie, there are no eggs you want here, so let's go to the vegetable garden to work, and you can go to another house to see it while it's still early!" ”

When Niu heard this, his body trembled even more. She knew that it was impossible for her to stay here at this time, otherwise even if she really had a body, the third aunt would only get more and more bored with her, and then there should be her gossip in the village again.

Suppressing the resentment in his heart, Niu Shi pulled the corners of his lips, and forced a smile: "Third aunt, then you can get busy, I won't delay your work." ”

After that, she had red circles under her eyes, slowly turned around with one hand on her waist, and walked out of the third aunt's house step by step.

"Phew, the belly that has been around for a month, it's as if it's about to give birth for more than nine months, and it's been more than four months, and I've never seen such squeamishness! Hmph, hypocrisy! When Niu was far away, the third aunt looked at her back, spat disdainfully, locked the courtyard door with a "click" and continued to dig the vegetable garden.

Back at home, Guo Mianmian was still a little angry, and she was really disgusted by Niu's pretentious demeanor.

was slandered by a woman, but before she could get revenge, the woman became pregnant. I thought that the woman would not dare to come back to her eyes after making a mistake, but I didn't expect that it would be disgusting again in the past few days.

If she weren't afraid of the child in a woman's womb, she would be able to scratch a woman's face on the spot.

Guo Mianmian covered it up well, and did not teach Meng Shi to see the eyebrows. Meng Shi took her hand to the chicken coop, and put eggs under the old hen, while smiling: "More than forty eggs are just enough for these two old hens to hold two nests, and when you take care of the hen to hold the nest in the future, you must remember that it is impossible to hold too many eggs in one nest, otherwise the old hen will not be able to hatch the chickens if she can't hold them well, like this twenty heights are just right." ”

In Meng's endless voice, Guo Mianmian unexpectedly became remote. Seeing that the old hen holding the nest honestly allowed her mother-in-law to stuff eggs into her belly, she couldn't help but pick up one and stuff it under her belly, but Meng didn't have time to stop it.

"Oops!" Guo Mianmian felt a pain in her mouth, hurriedly retracted and counterattacked, and the egg in her hand almost fell, but at the moment when her hand was close to the old hen, she was pecked hard by the old hen.

"Mianmian, are you alright? Is there any broken skin? Meng Shi didn't care about putting the eggs, and hurriedly went to see his daughter-in-law's hand, and saw that there was a red mark on the place where she was pecked, and there was only a slight peeling on it, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good if it's not broken, it's good if it's not broken." ”

Guo Mianmian's fingertips pressed the painful place where the old hen pecked, and saw that the feathers on the old hen's neck stood up, staring at himself with fierce eyes, and couldn't help but say depressedly: "Look at me honestly, even you bully me, don't you?" ”

Meng Shi was amused by his daughter-in-law's childish words, and raised his hand to pat the old hen's stretched neck back: "You can't wronged it, it's not familiar with you and thinks you took its eggs before pecking." In the past two days, you will feed it some grains and water, and it will not be like this again when it is ripe with you. ”

Guo Mianmian was a little frightened of the old hen who was protecting the eggs, and shook her head violently: "Forget it, I'm afraid it will fly up and peck me." ”

When Meng heard this, he was not far-fetched, and continued to put the eggs in the basket into the old hen's nest. It is also an evil sect when it is mentioned, and the old hen ignores the hand that Meng Shi stretched out, and a pair of round and shiny corns stared at Guo Mianmian alone.

After about twenty of them, Meng went to another old hen in his nest and put the remaining twenty or so eggs into his nest.

The old hen is as obedient as a little milk dog, and at the moment when the egg is put down, she will stretch the neck of the chicken and arch the egg to the side with her braincase, so that Meng Shi can put more eggs and let it hatch more chicks.

Guo Mianmian looked straight and felt that this old hen was more humane, so he scrambled to pick up the last egg in the basket and groped to put it in the old hen's nest.

Fortunately at the beginning, the old hen just watched cautiously and did not make any other movements, and when Guo Mianmian confidently felt that this time she could succeed, the old hen stretched her neck to peck her hand with a galloping momentum.

Fortunately, Guo Mianmian still remembered the lesson of Shicai, and was careful of the old hen, so she quickly took her hand back a second before being pecked, and the old hen's beak brushed her fingers.

"Whew, that's scary!" Guo Mianmian patted her chest with a frightened face, and honestly handed over the eggs to her mother-in-law: "It's better for my mother, I have a disagreement with these two old hens." ”

"Poof!" Meng Shi couldn't hold back, laughed all of a sudden, reached out and took the egg and put it under the old hen's belly: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, when these chicks hatch out, the eggs they lay or kill meat and eat them will still enter your stomach." ”

Guo Mianmian was speechless, didn't she pay so much attention? She's really just depressed, and the old hen is just targeting her.
