After doing it for a few days in a row, Li Miaomiao felt that the whole person was not very good, not to mention that her body was sore, her eyes were blurry, and her hands were about to be unable to lift the needle.

Because of the high demand for small dolls, after all, there are still more ordinary people in the town, although everyone can't afford to buy a big doll for two taels of silver, but a small doll for three or two can still be bought.

And he also has to stock up on the goods for Aunt Xie to take away, for more than ten days, the workload is really a lot, and Li Miaomiao is not bothered to let the other three help her. She couldn't stand the amount of five · a day, and Aunt Xie hoped that she would make more, so that she could be transported to the provincial capital with the girl's team to sell.

She also wants to make more money, but her power is too small. So, I had to find someone to help. It's really hard to find reliable and hardworking people, and Aunt Changlin heard that she was looking for someone so she gave her ideas.

"You know the widow Zhang of our village."

So a few people talked about Widow Zhang while they were working.

Speaking of Widow Zhang, she is also a poor person, her mother's family is from Zhaojia Village next door, and her mother died when she was seven years old, and her father married her stepmother. As the saying goes, if there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather, who was grinded at home for a few years, until she was sixteen years old, and was promised by her stepmother to Li Guang of Lijia Village for two taels of silver, which was her dead husband.

Li Guang was a homeless child since he was a child, and was later adopted by an old couple who had no queen, and settled in Lijia Village, where the old couple died when he was seventeen years old. Fortunately, there are a few acres of fertile land and a few houses at home, so that he will not sleep in the open air, he is also a capable person, he saved money to marry Zhang, and his life is not bad.

There are two daughters under his knees, the eldest daughter is sixteen years old this year, in order to prepare a rich dowry for her daughter, she followed Li Sanzhuang into the mountains to hunt, and died at the mouth of a fierce beast.

The husband's family did not help, and the mother's family was eyeing her, asking her to marry again in exchange for silver, and selling her daughter. With the help of the people of Lijia Village, she sold her fertile land, took out all her family wealth, and repaid the grace of her mother's family, and broke off the relationship.

I have to say that although the people of Lijia Village usually like to watch some excitement and take advantage of it, they are still very united when they are united with the outside world. Widow Zhang married into Lijia Village, she is a person from Lijia Village, and she can't let people from other villages bully her when she is idle, so she doesn't dare to make trouble again after the Zhao family has made trouble a few times.

Li Miaomiao couldn't help but sigh when she heard this, this woman's fate is tragic.

"Widow Zhang usually relies on Xiu to support the two children, her needlework is excellent, and she is honest, if Miao Miao needs it, my aunt will help you ask", Aunt Changlin also survived step by step from the widow, and especially understands the difficulties of widows, so she naturally hopes to help if she can help.

"Then go and help me, I don't know if Aunt Zhang blames my family, it was my father who took Uncle Li Guang into the mountain in the first place", Li Miaomiao said to Aunt Changlin.

"That's it, how can she blame your family, hey, it's all fate, your father is gone" Aunt Changlin sighed, they are all hard-working people.

Sister-in-law Changlin added on the side, "Her eldest girl is sixteen, and she usually follows the needlework, and the work will not be bad, if Miao Miao needs it, she will recruit it together."

Li Miaomiao thought about it, so she asked Aunt Changlin to say it, which was also a salary of twenty wen a day.

"By the way, auntie, you let them wait a few days and come over, I told Uncle Dahai and Brother Changlin, I have time to put up the wall of my yard in the past two days, otherwise Aunt Zhang will come to work in the future, and it is not good to have that long-eyed collision", the people in the old house have been very honest recently, and they may not be holding back anything bad, Li Miaomiao does not want to involve others.

There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and there are people in the Li family's old house who have bad intentions, Aunt Changlin and Aunt Wang both feel that what Li Miaomiao said is very right, and they told their families to come to work early tomorrow at night.

Early the next morning, Li Miaomiao and Changlin went to Zhaojia Village next door to buy bricks, and only Zhaojia Village had a brick kiln nearby. Because the yard of Li Miaomiao's house is relatively small, an oxcart adobe brick is enough.

The two of them built the wall in almost two days. For the sake of safety, it was specially built a little higher, more than two meters. I went to the town to buy some broken porcelain and embedded it on it, and Uncle Dahai laughed and said that thieves would not patronize his house in the future.

The gate was made by Aunt Changlin's family, and it was very solid. After all the total, it only cost less than two taels of silver, and Li Miaomiao was very satisfied.

After the completion of the work, Li Miaomiao had to pay the wages, but Uncle Dahai and Brother Changlin refused to accept it. My mother-in-law is working in other people's homes, and the girl has given enough money, and there are a few children who play, all of which are only a few taels of silver.

Li Miaomiao couldn't, so she had to cut two cuts of meat, beat two pots of wine and send them to others, and finally accepted it after a meal.

Aunt Zhang will come to work tomorrow, Li Miaomiao began to clean up the house, in fact, there is nothing to clean up, there is a big kang in the house, a broken table, fortunately in the summer, put away the winter quilt, otherwise there is no place to do work.

The next day, when the three sisters and brothers were still having breakfast in the courtyard, Aunt Changlin led the widow over, followed by a girl of fifteen or sixteen, and a little girl about the same age as Yanyan.

Widow Zhang was dressed in a washed white shirt, but clean, she looked to be in her thirties, gentle and gentle, but a little cowardly, and even the two daughters who followed behind her lowered their heads.

Li Miaomiao hurriedly welcomed people into the house, and made a few chairs when the door was knocked on in the house, which would be just right for use. Aunt Changlin brought people and left in a hurry, she still had work on Aunt Wang's side.

Seeing that they were all very restrained, Li Miaomiao had no choice but to speak first, "In the future, I will have to help my aunt and Sister Fang a lot, and my aunt should not be restrained, just like my own family." ”

"Okay, whatever the girl does, just let me do it."

Hearing this girl, Li Miaomiao couldn't help laughing, how could she feel like the master who bought someone. smiled and said to the two, "In the future, my aunt and sister will just call me Miao Miao." ”

looked at the little girl hiding behind her mother again, then took out the cat doll made last night from the basket and handed it to her, the little girl was very shy, but she couldn't resist the temptation of the toy, and walked towards Li Miaomiao little by little, "What's your name, how old are you?"

"My name is Xiaowei, and I'm three years old," the little girl's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible. Li Miaomiao couldn't help but soften her heart, handed him the doll, and asked Yanyan to lead her out to play. Seeing that her mother nodded, she followed Yanyan out.

Widow Zhang wanted to refuse, but she was afraid of annoying Li Miaomiao, so she didn't dare to speak, she often went to the cloth to send embroidery, knowing that this one was going to be sold for two taels of silver.

Li Miaomiao really didn't know how to alleviate the embarrassment, so she went directly to the topic, "My aunt and sister work for me, and I treat them as my own people." But there are rules for doing business, although I believe in your character, but I'm afraid that something will go wrong in the future, how about we sign a contract"

Before Zhang's came, he had heard Aunt Changlin say that he wanted to sign a contract, after all, this business makes money, and there must be many people who want to learn, so it is natural to sign a confidential contract.

"Just as it should be," Zhang replied.

So the three of them quickly signed contract 1, which is just a fingerprint, and the contract was written by Aunt Xie yesterday.

"Auntie, Sister Fang, can you help me make two quilts first, it's summer, and the thick quilts at home can't be covered"

Anyway, they all do things with money, and everything is the same, so they naturally have no objections. So, the three of them worked together to make two summer quilts in more than an hour.

Li Miaomiao then taught them to make dolls, and the two of them were really used to needlework, and they understood it as soon as they heard it, and they would do it as soon as they did.

Li Fangfang's attainments in needlework are very high, and she can also put forward some suggestions for improvement from time to time, which makes Li Miaomiao really look at her. The two of them had an exchange on the needlework, and they were slowly let go, Li Miaomiao felt that this girl was actually quite good at talking, it was estimated that she had not seen many people before, so she had developed a cowardly temperament like Widow Zhang.

Seeing her talk eloquently about needlework, her smiling face was filled with a confident smile. And she herself looks good, willow eyebrows, cherry mouth, small nose, and two shallow pear vortices when she laughs, although her skin is not skinny, but perhaps because she can't go out of the house for needlework all year round, she is quite fair-skinned.

This is a proper little beauty, no wonder the Zhang family detains people all day long and doesn't let them out, without a father, the Zhang family can't protect this delicate flower at all.

Li Miaomiao naturally loves beautiful things, and she can't help but want to get close to this girl, so the more the two chat, the more they talk, the more involved they become, and even the Zhang family on the side was surprised, her daughter had nothing to talk about at home and herself, how could she have so many words with Li Miaomiao, who had just met.

What she doesn't know is that this is fate, some people are familiar at first sight, and some people are as white as new.
