Chapter 100: Making Shoes
Xia He followed Liu Feng's side and walked home.
On the way, Liu Feng looked at Xia He's embarrassed appearance, very distressed, and said as he walked forward: "Xia He, look at you, don't send this meal, it's so tired, and now the crops are so high, it's really dangerous for you to come out by yourself as a woman." If I hadn't heard it today, I wouldn't know what was going on? ”
Xia He heard Liu Feng say this, and hurriedly tugged at his clothes with his hand and said: "Today is the path I just want to go home early, take a shortcut to go home, and tomorrow I will take the big road, it's okay, I'm not tired." Besides, I have just promised the people in the village to deliver the meal, and I must deliver this meal if I am not honest. ”
Looking at the stubborn Xia He, Liu Feng didn't say anything anymore, not wanting to disrupt Xia He's plan.
Soon, the two of them came to Xia He's house at the foot of the back mountain.
The big yellow dog saw Xia He and Liu Feng coming back, and "Wangwang" screamed out of the gate to greet them.
Liu Feng hurriedly said: "Why don't you bring the big yellow dog tomorrow, so that it can also give you a strong courage." ”
Xia He looked at the big yellow dog and said with a smile: "No, I still want to let the rhubarb take care of the house, I can rest assured that there is rhubarb in my two babies at home." ”
Liu Feng nodded: "What you said also makes sense." ”
The two opened the door and went to the small courtyard, and Wan'er saw her mother and father coming back in the room, and shouted with a smile: "Mother is back." ”
So, while shouting, he opened the door and saw Liu Feng hurriedly shouting, "Daddy is also here." ”
Liu Feng picked up Wan'er and said, "Wan'er, are you and your little brother scared at home?" ”
Wan'er looked at her father and said, "Wan'er is not afraid, my brother is very obedient and didn't cry at all." ”
Xia He heard her daughter say this, and hurriedly came to the kang to see her little treasure.
Xiaobao was lying on the kang, and his little feet kicked the small quilt covering his body to the side, wearing only a small red belly pocket given to Xiaobao by Qiaofeng.
Xia He hurriedly got on the kang, hugged Xiaobao, and thought while cleaning up: "It's so cold in this house, will Xiaobao be frozen?" ”
Seeing that Xia He was busy, Liu Feng hurriedly stepped forward, touched the kang with his hand, and said, "You have to burn more in this house at this time, otherwise Xiaobao and Wan'er will be cold." ”
After speaking, he put down Wan'er, went out to get dry firewood, and lit a fire.
Xia He cleaned up Xiaobao and gave Xiaobao milk.
Seeing that Liu Feng was still burning the fire, he hurriedly said: "Brother Liu Feng, you hurry back to harvest the crops, I'm fine now, I'll go to the ground to cook on the fire." ”
Liu Feng heard Xia He say this, got up and said, "Okay, you guys are at home, you must lock the door at night." ”
"Well, I know, Brother Liu Feng really thanked you today." Xia He thanked Liu Feng again.
Liu Feng said: "Don't always thank me, I'll rest assured that you and Xiaobao Wan'er are okay." ”
Out of Xia He's house, Liu Feng walked to his own field, thinking about Xia He as he walked, he really didn't feel at ease, but there was no way, Xia He didn't accept himself, and he didn't go to his own house, so now it can only be like this.
Xia He saw Liu Feng leaving, and started to cook, he was busy all morning, and Wan'er and himself hadn't eaten at noon.
While cooking, Wan'er asked Xia He: "Mother, you said that other people's fathers live with their mothers, so why doesn't Father Liu Feng live with us?" Mother, how hard you work yourself, Wan'er can't help her mother, seeing her mother suffer like this, Wan'er is really uncomfortable. ”
Xia He felt uncomfortable when she heard Wan'er say this, thinking about Wan'er coming to her home, not following her to enjoy her happiness, and helping herself look at Xiaobao, it was really uncomfortable, and her daughter was so sensible.
"Wan'er, your father Liu Feng has a mother at home who needs to be taken care of, so he can't come to our house, isn't it good that we are like this? When my mother earns money, my mother will buy you and my brother delicious food and make a flower dress for my daughter. ”
Wan'er heard her mother say that she wanted to make beautiful clothes for herself, and she ran around the room happily, shouting: "Mother is going to make flower clothes for Wan'er, Wan'er is so happy." ”
In the evening, after eating, Xia He began to prepare the sorghum rice rice dumplings that he would give to the villagers who were working the next day.
Xia He prepared the big and small bowls again, and mixed all kinds of small pickles and put them aside.
After everything was ready, Xia He saw that it was already dark outside.
Hurriedly went out and began to feed the rabbits, and added water to the sink, so that Xia He could go back to the room to rest with peace of mind.
Xia He saw that Xiao Wan'er and Xiao Bao were asleep, washed themselves, and went to the kang.
When he took off his shoes, Xia He found that Wan'er's little shoes were almost showing his toes, and he was busy blaming himself, and he was patronizing how to make money one day, ignoring his daughter.
Xia He hurriedly took out the rags from the cabinet, put them on the table little by little, grabbed out a handful of noodles, and poured boiling water from the pot into the noodles, so that a bowl of paste was ready.
Brush the finished paste on the rags, and press the rags one by one, so that, little by little, the thick rags are stacked.
Xia He looked at the finished ones, moved the table to the stove, and baked the freshly stacked rags on it.
Soon, Xia He saw that the time was almost up, so he hurriedly picked up the rags and spread them out on the table to bake.
After Xia He finished doing this, he picked up the yellow paper that Wan'er had written, put Wan'er's little shoes on the paper, and drew the small shoes on the paper along the edges of the shoes.
I took the scissors again and cut them out along the lines of the drawing, so that the appearance of the small sole was ready.
Xia He looked at what he was doing, and he was very happy, he didn't expect that he would also make these things, thanks to the original owner's memory is so good.
In his previous life, Xia He really hadn't touched these at all, but he had visited straw sandals and cloth shoes in the memorial hall, and at that time he really felt very novel, and he felt that he was really lucky to be born in a new era.
But now I was reborn in ancient times by mistake, although I am very grateful to God for giving me such a chance to be reborn, but this era really can't be compared with the previous life.
There is no way, I can only use my brains, at least I can't let my children freeze and starve.
Thinking of this, Xia He cheered himself up in his heart: "Xia He, you were the best in your previous life, and you must live a different life in this life, and you can't be laughed at by others!" Come on, Xia He! ”
Xia He saw that the rags were completely dry, and hurriedly put the paper shoe patterns on the rags, and cut them off one by one with scissors until they were all cut out.
Stacking the cut together, Xia He found a few more pieces of cloth and wrapped the hem of the shoe and sewed it up, so that the raw edge on the shoe edge could not be seen.
Xia He took the hemp skin used to make hemp rope that he had brought back at the foot of the back mountain, and kneaded it into a very thin twine little by little by hand.
In this way, this small sole is almost the sole.
Xia He was really happy to see the fruits of his labor.
