Chapter 36: Didn't you break off contact a long time ago?
"Don't be nervous, let's eat first, there is still work for you to do after eating." Mu Dongzhi said.
Wang Dahua hurriedly ate and didn't dare to say a word.
After the meal, Wang Dahua brushed the pot with her hands and feet and asked, "...... sister-in-law of the Shen family?"
"Don't call me sister-in-law of the Shen family, call me the winter solstice, it sounds weird." Mu Dongzhi said.
Shen Xiuyuan glanced at her, but finally didn't say anything.
Wang Dahua said kindly: "Winter solstice girl, what else can I do?"
"Will you take the soles?"
"Yes."
"You can help us make shoes, I have all the scars framed, you take out the soles first."
Big brother has to have a pair, and I've got to have a pair.
In addition, I had to make clothes, and my sister and brother's clothes had to be sewn. ”
"No problem, I'll leave this to me." Wang Dahua said.
Mu Dongzhi gave her the fabric, and then made batter to frame some cloth pimple scars to make shoe uppers.
After Wang Dahua got the fabric, she began to cut and sew.
As long as these clothes are not embroidered, they are quite quick to make, because there are not many stitches that need to be sewn.
In addition, Wang Dahua's female popularity is good, and it is not difficult to do this.
Dongmei heard that she was going to make new clothes for her, and she was excited as if she was going to celebrate the New Year.
She has never worn new clothes, the eldest sister wears them, and the second sister wears them, and she wears them when she is younger.
I didn't expect the second sister to make new clothes for her.
She worked harder.
Mu Dongzhi handed over the work of picking dyes to Dongmei, while she and Shen Xiuyuan were weaving bamboo baskets and grasshoppers.
Wang Dahua is very quick with his hands and feet, but he has made his shoes and clothes in a few days.
And the shoes made for Dongmei are also embroidered.
Dongmei happily hugged Wang Dahua for a while.
Mu Dongzhi looked at the shoes on her feet that were also a little torn, and said, "There are still pimple scars, you can make yourself a pair too." ”
Wang Dahua said: "Second Brother Shen's shoes haven't been made yet. ”
Mu Dongzhi said: "I'll make his shoes." ”
When Shen Xiuyuan heard this, the corners of his mouth slowly raised.
His shoes really need a little lady to make them.
Wang Dahua was still a little cramped, but in the end, she listened to Mu Dongzhi and made herself a pair of shoes.
Mu Dongzhi also followed Wang Dahua to make shoes, but she made them for Shen Xiuyuan.
Although her female celebrity is also very good, she is still too far behind Wang Dahua.
After she finished her shoes, she said with some disgust:
"It's better to be a female red with a big flower."
Wang Dahua smiled and said, "Second Brother Shen will definitely like it." ”
Mu Dongzhi looked at Shen Xiuyuan embarrassedly, Shen Xiuyuan came over and took the shoes over, and asked, "Give them to me?" ”
"This pair is not doing well, look back ......"
Shen Xiuyuan had already changed into his shoes, and said with a smile: "The shoes made by the little lady fit well." ”
Mu Dongzhi looked at the shoes on his feet, which was clearly not as good as the big flowers.
Although she made shoes with Dahua, there was no delay in dyeing the cloth.
She's dyed all the cloth in the past few days.
The cloth of this cart was all dyed, and Mu Dongzhi could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
She was about to send the cloth to the shopkeeper Hong, but she didn't expect the shopkeeper Hong to come with his buddy in person, and brought a cart of white cloth.
"Shopkeeper Hong, it's going to be autumn now, look at this ......"
"Mrs. Shen, don't worry, you can dye as much as you can, as much as you want.
I'm not in a hurry, just dye it for me in mid-October. ”
Shopkeeper Hong said with a smile.
It is dyed in mid-October, and it is sold without delay.
Generally, there are many marriages in the wax moon, and there are many dowries.
Also, those official ladies started sewing new clothes in October, so they won't be delayed.
Mu Dongzhi wanted to refuse, but what people said was so sincere, she never said what she refused.
"Shopkeeper, let's take a look at the dyed cloth." Mu Dongzhi said.
She led the shopkeeper to the new house to see the dyed cloth.
When the shopkeeper Hong saw the colorful cloths, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
He ordered some cloth and sent sixty pieces of cloth, dyed twenty of each of the three colors.
Moreover, how does he feel that this time the dye is better than the last one?
"I'm very satisfied, Mrs. Shen, this is two taels of silver, you can take it." Shopkeeper Hong hurriedly stroked his beard and said.
Mu Dongzhi immediately said: "How can it be done?" I've calculated, if you don't want two taels of silver, you wait a minute, I'll find you copper plate. ”
She said that she hurriedly went back to get two hundred copper plates and came out, and when the shopkeeper Hong saw that she was so serious, he laughed and said:
"Our young owner will probably come to Anyuan Town after August 15, and maybe there will be greater cooperation at that time.
These two hundred copper plates are considered a reward. ”
The shopkeeper pushed back the copper plate again, and gave her the two taels of silver in his hand.
Mu Dongzhi was a little confused, and finally said, "That's it." ”
She said and put the money away.
Shopkeeper Hong looked at their new house and said, "This new house is well built." ”
"I've been busy lately, and I haven't bothered to make doors and windows." Mu Dongzhi said with a smile.
"I happen to know a carpenter, why don't I introduce you?" Shopkeeper Hong asked.
"Then thank you for Shopkeeper Hong." Mu Dongzhi didn't expect that the shopkeeper Hong would introduce her to a carpenter.
That's for the best.
Shopkeeper Hong nodded with satisfaction, this woman is not like ordinary country women, and she can cooperate for a long time.
"Then I won't bother, then I'll leave first." Shopkeeper Hong said.
"The shopkeeper stays for lunch." Mu Dongzhi said.
Shopkeeper Hong felt that there was nothing good to eat in the countryside, so he politely refused.
In the afternoon, the carpenter came to measure the measurements.
Mu Dongzhi was surprised, and only after Shen Xiuyuan's inquiry did he know that the owner of this carpenter shop and the owner of Buzhuang were the same person.
The carpenter came on horseback, measured the size and left, saying, "It will take about half a month to make the left and right doors and windows, do you still need a bed at home?" ”
"Yes." Mu Dongzhi hurriedly said.
"The table, chair and bench are all made together, and I can give you a discount."
"Cheng, how much silver do you count?" Mu Dongzhi said.
The carpenter did the math and said, "Even the timber with the labor is more than one or two." ”
"Then you go back and do it." Mu Dongzhi said.
The carpenter did not say anything about the silver, but rode away.
Anyway, the shopkeeper Hong said that this was the person the young owner wanted to meet, and he had to maintain the relationship well, so he didn't want to fix the silver.
After the carpenter left, Mu Dongzhi said to Shen Xiuyuan:
"Mother's side is going to harvest the crops, it's better to let the eldest brother take care of it at home, let's go together."
Shen Xiuyuan said, "Okay." ”
In fact, he is not good at farm work.
But he still has to experience it for himself to know what hard work is.
In the future, he will still go to the household department and try his best to make the people of the world worry-free.
The two arranged all the things at home, and went to Mujia Village early the next morning.
Mu Liu was sweeping the floor in the yard.
"Mother, you are not yet a month, why did you get out of bed?" Mu Dongzhi immediately put down the basket and said to Mu Liu.
Mu Liu heard Mu Dongzhi's voice, turned around and saw the two of them coming, his eyes were full of tears, and he said:
"You're here, go back to the house and sit down."
Mu Dong stepped forward and grabbed Mu Liu's hand and said:
"You won't be until the thirteenth of August, so go back to bed and stay there."
Mu Liu was dragged back to the room by her.
"Where's the eldest sister?" Mu Dongzhi asked.
"She's going to help your uncle's house harvest corn."
Mu Dongzhi's scalp was about to explode when he heard this, and said:
"To help my uncle's family harvest corn? Didn't the uncle's family cut off contact with us a long time ago?
Why did she help them? ”
