Chapter 013: Mother-in-law's Good Craftsmanship

As soon as Wang turned around, he saw Chunzhi's disapproving look, and her face was not good-looking.

"Don't think you'll be lazy when your man goes out! Hurry up and clean up the house, let's go out into the street!" She shouted at Haruzhi.

"On the street?" Chunzhi was stunned, "What are you doing on the street?" ”

"Of course, it's for my son!" Wang replied loudly, "If it weren't for the fact that I was busy marrying you, I would have gone to the street a long time ago." Now that the white noodles at home are gone, if I don't go, my son will be hungry at night! ”

As she spoke, she went back to her room. After a while, I saw a basket on her arm, and the basket was covered with a gray cloth, and I didn't know what was in the basket.

"What are you doing? Don't hurry up and go! She glanced at Bai Chunzhi again.

Haruka hurriedly followed.

The two of them went out of the house, Wang locked the door, and the two of them walked out together.

This time, they were going to Shitong Town, where Wangjia Village is located. This place Chunzhi had never been to before, so she obediently followed behind Wang all the way.

The two of them walked for more than an hour before they finally arrived at the gate of the town.

After entering the town, the Wang family walked to a silk thread shop in front of the right.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the shop, the proprietress of the silk thread shop happily greeted her. "Sister Wang, you are here! I'm still wondering these days, you should have been here a few days earlier, but why did it take so long this time? ”

"My son is married to a daughter-in-law, and I've been busy with that all these days." Wang replied.

"I see!" The proprietress hurriedly looked at the spring branch standing behind her, and she nodded hurriedly, "Your daughter-in-law is so delicate, you know at a glance that she is a diligent child, and you will be able to enjoy happiness in the future!" ”

"What a blessing, clumsy, nothing, I'm about to die!" Wang said angrily.

The proprietress laughed a few times, stopped talking about the topic, and quickly told them to go inside. The Wang family also went generously.

It seems that she is very familiar with the proprietress of this silk thread shop? Haruka was secretly surprised in her heart.

Speaking of which, this is the first time she has entered such a shop!

Her family is poor, with a family of nine, and she is tight on food, let alone clothes. She grew up wearing coarse cloth woven by her mother, and the cloth was cut into wide clothes with a few feet of cloth, which was loose and large on her at first, and did not show her figure at all. However, the advantage of this dress is that it will give her a few more years to wear. When she grows up and can't wear it, she will wear clothes for her sisters. She also had a lot of clothes that her mother had worn out and changed to give her smaller.

Even the cloth is tight, let alone embroider on it. It's all window dressing things that rich people use.

However, after all, it is also a girl's home for beauty. Every time she went out on the street with her little sisters, she would sneak a few glances at the silk shop. Although I don't need those colorful silk threads, it is good to be able to take a few more glances and quietly trace those beautiful patterns in my heart.

originally thought that he would only be able to quietly take a few glances in his life. Chunzhi didn't expect that now he would still have the opportunity to enter the shop and get close to these silk threads. Even, this time she not only came in, but also walked directly to the back hall of the silk shop!

Unlike her when she entered the city, Wang had a normal expression from the moment she entered the town.

When the proprietress got to the back, she put the basket on the table.

The proprietress lifted the gray cloth that covered her head, and her eyes began to shine. Chunzhi also looked at it, and she immediately let out a low exhalation.

I saw a thick stack of handkerchiefs and purses in the basket in front of me. The quality of the fabric of these things is average, just ordinary cotton, but the embroidery on the top is very delicate.

The proprietress picked up the things and looked at them one by one, and Haruka took the opportunity to feast her eyes. I saw that there were many patterns embroidered with various colored silk threads on those things, and the tender green grass and budding flowers were waiting to be released. There are not many silk threads used, and they are only slightly embellished with some patterns in a few places, but those flowers and plants are vivid, just like the real thing. The original ordinary handkerchief purse became vibrant when it was decorated so simply.

Chunzhi looked so moved that he really wanted to steal a handkerchief and keep it at hand to play.

At this time, she looked at Wang's eyes with a bit of admiration.

originally thought that her mother-in-law had no ability except for sprinkling and rolling, but she didn't expect that her mother-in-law still had this lively embroidery skill!

The hostess was also full of praise for these things.

After carefully looking at the things and making sure that they were all good, and then counting the pieces, she went into the back room and took a bag of copper plates and handed it to Wang: "We have already agreed that a handkerchief is two pennies, and a purse is three cents." Now there are thirty handkerchiefs and ten purses, which is a total of ninety letters. The money is given to you, and you count it. ”

Wang quickly poured out all the copper plates and counted them, no more, no less, exactly ninety copper plates, and she was satisfied with the money again. Then she said to the proprietress again: "This time, like last time, give me thirty handkerchiefs and ten purses." By the way, you have some rag heads and unused silk threads here. ”

"Don't worry, I've prepared these things for you, and the ready-made ones are here!" The proprietress skillfully took out a stack of handkerchiefs and purses from under the table and put them into the basket, "The flowers and plants you embroidered last time sold very well, and this time you will embroider those things!" ”

"That's right." Then the proprietress went to Wang's side again, "This time, when my man went to the county to buy goods, I saw that there was a big family over there preparing gifts for the birthday of the elders in the family, saying that they wanted to embroider a big screen, and they were looking for good embroiderers everywhere!" I think your craftsmanship is quite good, and you can't make a lot of money just embroidering these small things every day, so why don't you try to take that job? My man heard that as long as this thing is embroidered, there will be a silver or two inputs! ”

She held up a finger and sent it to Wang.

Wang's eyes lit up.

But she immediately shook her head. "I'm not available."

"Oh, don't you have a daughter-in-law now? In the future, everything at home will be handed over to your daughter-in-law, so why don't you concentrate on embroidery? The proprietress said busily.

"It's just that I have a daughter-in-law, so I'm not free." Wang said coldly, "I have to teach her embroidery now!" ”

"Huh? I? Chunzhi was stunned for a moment, and she might as well hear Wang call her name.

"Of course!" Wang squinted at her, "You married you for nothing when our family married you?" There are only a few acres of land at home, how can you feed a mouth? Although you are a little older now, you should be able to learn some skills if you hurry up and study. Otherwise, my son won't even be able to afford to eat white noodles! ”

Uh, so that's what the Wang family planned? Teach her to learn embroidery, and then sell it to make money to raise Chai Dong to eat white noodles? Harue bowed her head speechlessly.

The proprietress nodded again and again when she heard this. "That's a good idea! Sister-in-law, you teach her well first, and when she learns, your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will work together in the future, and you will be able to earn more, and your son will be able to save the money for the exam in Beijing. ”

"Well, that's what I thought about too." Wang nodded hurriedly.

Talking about his son's future, Wang is in a good mood. After gossiping with the proprietress for a long time, she collected the money, covered the plain cloth and the purse, as well as the rag heads and broken silk threads with gray cloth, and beckoned Chunzhi to go out together.

When she arrived outside the shop, Chunzhi still felt that the world was spinning in her head, and she hadn't reacted yet.

How could she, a daughter-in-law who looked so vulgar and felt that she was not even qualified as an ordinary village woman at first, have such good embroidery skills? That's weird!

Therefore, until now, she looked at Wang with a little disbelief in her eyes.

Wang took a few steps forward, and found that she didn't follow, so he immediately turned around and scolded her: "Are you stupid again?" Why don't you hurry up and let me go? If you delay my son's dinner, you won't want to eat tonight! ”

Her scolding attracted the attention of many people on the street.

Haruka was also awakened by the familiar shouting and scolding. It's only now that she's regained a little bit of realism - this person is really her mother-in-law, yes!

"Oh, here we are!" She quickly lowered her head and lifted her heel.

Leaving the silk thread shop, Wang took Chunzhi to the door of a pen and ink shop with a familiar way.

The guy at the shop obviously also knew Wang. Seeing them coming, the guy greeted her warmly: "Auntie, why did you only come today, I won't come in the future!" Now, are we still the same old rules? ”

"Yes, the old rules." Wang nodded.

"Okay!" The man nodded hurriedly, and then took out a thin pile of paper, as well as a few pieces of ink and a brush, and handed it to her. Wang also took out thirty copper plates from the money bag he had just received and handed them to him.

With just such a few things, thirty dollars will be gone, it's like robbing money! Harueda said secretly in her heart.

But Wang is clearly used to such things. After getting these things, she carefully put them in the basket, and they turned around and went to the pharmacy to grab a few packets of medicine, and then went to the grocery store next door to weigh half a pound of sugar. These cost twenty wen.

Immediately afterwards, Wang took her to a rice and noodle shop on another street.

When she saw that the guys at the rice noodle shop also took the initiative to come over to greet them, Harukeda found that she had begun to get used to it.

Wang threw the money bag directly over this time. The guy flipped the bag and nodded happily. "Auntie, you wait, I'll go and weigh you!"

Seeing that he weighed more than ten catties of noodles, poured a small bottle of oil, and then put all these things into the basket for Wang. "Fifteen catties of noodles, two taels of oil, the amount is sufficient, auntie, you just have to rest assured!"

Oh, my God!

Haruka couldn't help but grit her teeth in pain.

Fifteen catties of white flour and two taels of oil cost them forty dollars.

In other words, the little money they just exchanged in the silk thread shop was all spent in the blink of an eye!

Her mother-in-law is such a luxury. In other words, he is too willing to give up his son! The money she earned from working so hard for so long was all attached to her son!

If she had saved a little flower, their house would not have been dilapidated like that. Her mother-in-law...... How to say, the hands are indeed skillful, but the brain is indeed not very good.
