In winter, it snowed, and there was no truce at the border pass, and the war had been carried out to this period, and the enemy would not back down, and we would fight for every inch of land, and it was my great rivers and mountains, which could not be contaminated by foreign enemies.

The government in the capital is busy, and the officials of the military department are in a state of anxiety and worry from top to bottom.

When Cheng Enci came back, he casually mentioned that there was a difficulty in supplying clothes and shoes for the border soldiers, and some ministers had already raised it.

After discussing with the people of the Cheng family, they decided to be the one who contributed.

Cheng Enci came forward to take over the production of 1,000 sets of cotton clothes and 1,000 pairs of shoes.

This is a major event agreed upon by the men, and after the women of the Cheng family heard about it, they could only acquiesce, but although the Cheng family has a shop, there are too many jobs.

The women in each room followed suit, and Cheng Kejia quietly mentioned it to the three old ladies of the Cheng family, and they took over the matter of making shoes in this room.

The third old lady of the Cheng family looked at her at the time and objected in a low voice: "The soles of the shoes need to be laborious, and it takes more effort than making cotton clothes." ”

Cheng Kejia shook his head lightly and said, "Grandmother, I have nothing to do with Gu Niangzi and have made more than fifty pairs of men's soles. ”

The third old lady of the Cheng family looked at her, became angry, and said, "I asked Gu Niangzi to speak, what are you doing with so many men's soles in the room?" ”

Cheng Kejia hurriedly grabbed her and whispered: "Grandmother, listen to me, the soles I made are all shoes that my grandfather and father can wear, and the ancient lady makes the shoes worn by her men and sons."

The two of us just used the soles of our shoes to practice patience and delicacy, but after doing it for a long time, we had fast hands, and we didn't think about it, and we made such a pair at once, and there was no other use, but it could only exist there. ”

When Cheng Kejia spoke, she had a depressed look, and the ancient lady refused to teach her kung fu, but said that her heart was unstable and she could only make the soles of her shoes to grind.

As a result, the master and apprentice made more soles as they did it, and the ancient lady thought about it, and wanted to take it out to find someone to change some sole fabric to use.

The third old lady of the Cheng family looked at her granddaughter's depressed look, and when she touched her granddaughter's hands again, she was indeed as calloused as before.

The third old lady of the Cheng family looked for the Qian family, and the Qian family was very surprised when she heard the third old lady of the Cheng family mention what the Tigu lady and Cheng Kejia had done.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to the good garden, and it happened that Gu Niangzi and Cheng Kejia were making shoe soles in the conservatory, and their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at Gu Niangzi's effortless sewing soles, and then looked at Cheng Kejia with a needle and thread, almost wearing them at a glance.

However, Cheng Kejia's speed of sewing soles was only a little worse than that of Gu Niangzi, and the three old ladies of the Cheng family and the Qian family were dazzled.

The two of them took a look at the work done by Gu Niangzi and Cheng Kejia, and saw that the needle angle was fine and uniform, some of which looked like the work made by a seasoned embroidery girl, and they couldn't see the slightest characteristic.

Qian Shi looked at the two of them, then at the small pile of soles, and asked curiously: "You two are so idle, why don't you make the upper of the shoes?" ”

Gu Niangzi smiled and said: "Big lady, I just want to sharpen the little lady's mind, but I never thought of using the little lady as an embroiderer." ”

The third old lady of the Cheng family and the Qian family nodded gently, and the third room of the Yan family made the shoes from the Changfang.

Because Yan Sanfang did not take on the work of making cotton clothes, he took over the work of making 200 pairs of shoes.

The three old ladies of the Cheng family discussed with the Qian family, and all the soles of the shoes were made by the ancient lady and Cheng Kejia in a hurry, and other people came to make the uppers.

The third old lady of the Cheng family specially instructed the ancient lady to make the size of the shoes neater, so as not to let people see that they were the yards prepared for her family.

Gu Niangzi nodded gently, she and Cheng Kejia took over the matter of making shoe soles, and the girls from Haoyuan followed to make shoe uppers.

Winter uppers are the same as not easy to make, but compared to soles, everyone still prefers to make uppers.

In winter, the capital has a different kind of liveliness, each family sent clothes and shoes to the military headquarters, and went to the official department to receive fabrics and go home to continue to make cotton clothes and shoes.

When Cheng Enci came back, he also casually mentioned that some people's things were too poor, and they were greedy for fabrics, so they were found out and punished.

Therefore, the Mu family inspected the cotton clothes and shoes sent by each room more seriously, while the Cheng family was not too large in many people, but the quality was able to squeeze into the front.

The capital admires the needlework skills of the women of the Cheng family, and only the Cheng family does not have a needlework room in so many large families.

In the third room, only Zhuo's is now incapacitated, she is in confinement, not long ago, she gave birth to a son safely.

It's just that Zhuo's childbirth this time is obviously more difficult than before, and after seeing it, the doctor also told him to recuperate for two months.

The third old lady of the Cheng family named this grandson "An", and he hoped that the border would calm down the war as soon as possible.

Zhuo's is recuperating, and when Cheng Kejia goes to ask for peace every day, he will also talk to her about the situation at home.

Zhuo's had the heart to send the big girl around him to do the work, and he blocked the Qian family, saying: "You are now dedicated to recuperating your body, and I will arrange the affairs of the family." ”

Qian subconsciously concealed what Gu Niangzi and Cheng Kejia did in front of Zhuo's family, she always felt that Zhuo's rule-abiding person was afraid that she would think too much.

The people of the Zhuo family, when they came to visit the Zhuo family, they could all feel that the Cheng family was probably the only one who did not have that kind of busyness.

The Zhuo family also took over the work of making cotton clothes, and their family only had fifty sets in the future, and no matter how many they were, they were worried that they would not be able to make them in time.

After the eldest lady of the Zhuo family visited the Zhuo family, she met Cheng Kejia who rushed over in the courtyard, she quietly pulled her and asked, "Jia'er, how much work have you taken in this room?" ”

Cheng Kejia looked at her with a smile and said, "Auntie, our house specializes in making shoes, and we have already handed in two hundred pairs of shoes, and now we are rushing to make three hundred shoes." ”

The eldest lady of the Zhuo family hurriedly took Cheng Kejia's hands and looked at them over and over, and then looked around.

She whispered: "Jia'er, you are a child with solid eyes, don't you desperately follow the adults to do it, you are still young, you have done too much, your hands are easy to deform, and it is not very good for your eyes."

Originally, your mother should have whispered these words to you, but she is not in good health now, so she can only be told by your eldest aunt.

The thoughts of the elders of your family are not different from mine, but when they are busy, they can't remember to tell you more. ”

Cheng Kejia was moved by the thoughts of the eldest lady of the Zhuo family, she nodded lightly and said: "Auntie, I listen to you, grandmother and aunt also confessed, after the sky is dark, my sister and I are not allowed to do needlework." ”
