Chapter 17: Visiting the Door?

In addition to working in the fields, Chen Wen has to take care of the mulberry trees every day.

There was nothing out of the ordinary, the mulberry tree grew very well, and it didn't grow badly because it moved the place.

But early this morning, Aunt Lian, Uncle Baishun and Sister Shuhua came to visit the door, and the three of them came to the house with food.

Chen Wen is very inexplicable, and Li Suniang is also very inexplicable.

If it's a visit, the villagers, what are you doing with food? If they didn't come to visit the door, if they had something to ask for, an old woman and a small child, what could they do to help?

Anyway, Chen Wen couldn't figure it out.

A few people sat in the house and chattered, and they first asked their grandmother if she was in good health, how the paddy fields at home were taken care of, whether there was enough food to eat, and so on.

Suddenly, the topic came to Chen Wen, asking her if she was used to living here, whether she thought Zhangjia Village was good, and if the people in the village were good or not.

Chen Wen was not in a hurry, and answered them one by one obediently.

"I heard that Chen Wen can make clothes?" Aunt Lian had a smile on her face, a ball of harmony.

"Well, it's going to be easy."

Chen Wen didn't think it was strange, Zhang Alan talked about her ability to make clothes every day, but she never wore it out, so not many people believed it.

"Can I take a look?"

Chen Wen didn't think much about it, just glanced at her grandmother, saw her smile and nodded, then got up and went to the bedside to take out the clothes she had made before and show it to Aunt Lian.

Aunt Lian unfolded it to see, and Sister Shuhua also came up, and the two of them opened the neckline and cuffs to see the line of the clothes, "Oh, this line goes straight." ”

And he untied the knot of the frenulum and looked inside.

I touched the embroidery on the hem again, and took it to the sun to look through, "This flower is well embroidered, and it doesn't jump." ”

"Mother, it's good-looking." Zhang Shuhua also said.

"It's just that I haven't seen this style of clothes."

"What did Xiao Wen say this called...... What's it called......" Li Suniang couldn't remember the name and looked at Chen Wen.

Chen Wen replied, "Hand over the pipa sleeve and short jacket." ”

"Deliver the lute? It's a bit of a mouthful, but the clothes do look much better than ours. ”

"That's not it, it's the first time I've heard of such clothes." Grandma Li dotingly pointed to Chen Wen's little head, "The little girl has a lot of ideas." "When I say that, I am proud in my heart!

"It's good to have a lot of ideas, and your head is bright."

After Aunt Lian finished speaking, she handed her blouse to Zhang Shuhua, and took her skirt to look at it again. A one-piece lower skirt, after Aunt Lian folded it in half, she compared it to herself.

"This skirt has a good waist width, I think I can wear it too."

This skirt is cut according to Chen Wen's height, but in fact, the length of the skirt is only up to Aunt Lian's calf. Aunt Lian must have thought that she was wearing pants inside, so she was very satisfied.

"This skirt is made to my size, it is to cover my feet, and I wear underpants without exposing the pants." Chen Wen was afraid that they would not understand, so he bent down and gestured the length of the skirt on his leg.

"Ah......" Faced with this strange dress, Aunt Lian was dumbfounded.

"Mother, I think I like the style made by Sister Chen Wen very much, this skirt covers the feet, no need to show the pants, it must be very beautiful."

Zhang Shuhua really likes this set of clothes made by Chen Wen, like the lady of your family. Ah, no, your lady may not be able to have such a beautiful style.

"I also think it's good-looking, the little girl has the pretty look of a little girl." Uncle Baishun also spoke out in agreement with his daughter's words.

Aunt Lian immediately straightened her face and glanced at him, "Shut up." ”

was murdered by his daughter-in-law, Uncle Baishun knew that he was at a loss, so he didn't dare to speak in an instant, and shrugged his shoulders at Grandma Li, expressing his helplessness.

"What is he doing? I think Baishun is right, my granddaughter makes beautiful clothes! ”

"I'm not saying that Chen Wen didn't do a good job." Aunt Lian sighed, crying and complaining to Grandma Li. "Aunt Li, you don't know anything, Zhang Baishun is angry with me! When I think about it now, I'm still on fire. ”

"What's wrong?"

"This is not the end of the farming, I found a job for Zhang Baishun a few days ago, he is good, and he will not go. If you don't go, you just go outside to save face, and you have a drink to drink, you say that you are not angry. As he spoke, he glared at his husband.

Zhang Baishun was not angry when he was shaken, but only coughed twice in embarrassment. He also regretted it later, he knew that this was the case, and he would not have invited his friends to drink that wine.

Li Suniang sighed, pointed at Zhang Baishun, and tapped him twice with her fingers.

"This is not the most angry, the most angry thing is that he invited a guest to steal the money I pressed under my clothes, a full tael of silver, and there were only twenty-five copper plates left, and my heart was going to hurt to death."

Chen Wen gasped after hearing this. A tael of silver is as much as a hundred copper plates.

In ancient times, the grain production capacity was not high, even if it was an acre of good rice, it could only produce more than 300 catties, and if it was sold on the market, it could only get seventy or eighty copper plates.

In the farmhouse, if the grain harvest is good, they only earn a few taels of silver a year, so many people will go to find a job after the farm is busy and earn some silver taels, so that the family life is better.

No wonder Chen Wen was so surprised, Uncle Baishun drank like this, and he ate about an acre of hard work.

When Chen Wen didn't catch up with the farming, he also knew how hard it was.

Aunt Lian sighed deeply, "If it's other money, it's just that the money he stole was saved for Shuhua to buy clothes." ”

Ask Li Xiu'er to make a whole set of clothes, at least one or two halves of silver, and wait for time, if you don't want to wait, you have to add ten more copper plates.

Zhang Baishun spent seventy-five copper plates this time, even if she squeezed it, she could only squeeze another fifty-five copper plates out, not to mention asking Li Xiuer to make clothes!

When Zhang Shuhua heard this, she was also a little sad, her eyes were red, and she tried hard to hold back her tears.

"Actually, we're here today...... We have something to ask for. ”

"What's the matter?" Li Suniang asked, but she had already guessed probably.

Ordinary people, until an important day, will not waste money to make clothes.

"This ...... This is ......"

Aunt Lian hesitated, and deliberately glanced at Chen Wen, Chen Wen's eyelids jumped, and he knew what was the matter with them.

She said that why Aunt Lian's family had to carry food to the door, and it depended on the clothes she made, it turned out to be this idea.

One or two pieces of silver were originally going to ask Li Xiu'er to make clothes, but now there are only twenty-five copper plates left, and they must not be able to make up the money to ask Aunt Xiu'er to make clothes, so they came to find themselves.

"But for me to help make clothes?" Chen Wen asked directly.

Aunt Lian nodded hurriedly, "Our Shuhua is going to get married in two months, originally a tael of silver was going to be given to Li Xiu'er, ask her to make a red dress, but now the silver is gone, but Shuhua still has to marry." If the bride does not wear red, she will be laughed at. ”

The marriage in the township does not have to wear wedding clothes, gold and silver like in the county, but at least there must be a new and decent red dress, otherwise I think my mother's family is poor.
