After Xiao Tao's father and mother finished eating, they took Shaoshan Shaocong back to their parents' house, Xiao Tao'er cleaned up and came out of the kitchen, watched the second aunt take out the dustpan to dry mushrooms, and turned around and brought out the remaining two plates of dumplings, "Jinling, you go wash your hands, come and taste the dumplings made by my sister!" ”

The three of Jin Ling glanced at their mother, they were all dumbfounded, swallowing saliva from time to time, and the second aunt smiled gratefully, "Tao'er, you can eat!" I'm going to cook for them! ”

"We're all full, come here!"

The second aunt looked at the desire in the children's eyes, and knew that the children were hungry, so she nodded sadly, thinking that she would repay Xiao Tao in the future, "Then go!" ”

The three of Jin Ling immediately smiled, pulled her sister to wash her hands quickly, and then obediently sat on the small stool in the courtyard and smiled at Xiao Tao, "Thank you, big sister!" ”

Jinling looks like a big sister, so she sandwiches a few of the youngest Jinhua into the bowl first. Then I sandwiched a few with my own bowl and brought it to my mother to eat, the second aunt didn't agree, but the child kept holding the bowl and didn't leave, sniffing and eating quickly, "Well! Ling'er, good, it's delicious! Go eat it! ”

Xiao Tao sat to the side and looked at them, although Jin Ling and they were hungry, they still ate unhurriedly, they didn't gobble up, they looked very delicate, the girls were really different, and the second aunt should have taught them.

The second aunt's father is an old Xiucai, but he stopped at Xiucai, gave birth to three daughters, the last one is a son, he is too pampered, he can't read well, he can't get into the ground, he doesn't have craftsmanship, he is lazy to eat, he is eighteen or nineteen, and he hasn't married a daughter-in-law yet.

The second aunt is the eldest and should have received a good upbringing at home, but it is a pity that all the good things have been wiped out in the married life.

Jin Ling is ten years old, Jin Se is seven years old, and Jin Hua is five years old, all of them are thin and yellow, their facial features are actually very delicate, and their earthy gray coarse cloth clothes are still patched, and they all eat obediently by themselves, and they have to pick up and eat the little that falls on the table.

Xiao Tao thought in his heart that in his time, even if patriarchy still existed, a child of such an age was still held in the palm of his hand!

Thinking that if their business becomes bigger in the future, they must need helpers, so they take the time to teach the three of them to learn arithmetic, and when the time comes, they will all go to see the store for themselves, which is also to find a good way out for them, and if their character is passed, they will also have peace of mind.

Suddenly remembered the cheongsam he had drawn, and shouted to the second aunt, "Second aunt, come to my house, the style of the clothes has been drawn, and I will give you the appearance and fabric!" ”

After speaking, he went back to the house and took out the pattern he had drawn and the muslin cloth and handed it to the second aunt who came in, "Auntie, can you make what I painted?" ”

The second aunt glanced at the cheongsam skirt, "Ouch! It's so beautiful, if this is worn on the body, the girl's small waist, small breasts, small buttocks, straight forward and backward, it must be beautiful! ”

Xiao Tao sneered, thinking that the second aunt was really an expert, and she knew where the characteristics of this dress were at a glance!

The second aunt looked at it for a while, "Although I haven't seen it, I can make it,"

Then he looked at the dolls again, "Oops! What are these, it's really interesting to watch! ”

Xiao Tao pulled the second aunt to sit on the edge of the bed, and whispered, "These are dolls, tomorrow I will go to the town to find some fabrics of different colors, and bother the second aunt to see if I can make them, I plan to sell them!" So the second aunt kept it secret for me, if it can be sold, the second aunt will process these for me in the future, and I can make more money! ”

The second aunt looked grateful and took Xiao Tao's hand, "Okay, don't worry, let's try it first, it's not a difficult thing, it's hard for you to always think about us, don't worry!" The second aunt didn't say a word! The second aunt doesn't know how to thank you in her heart! ”

Xiao Tao patted her hand, "Auntie, no, I will do business in the future, I still bother my own people to take care of it, and let Jinling and them come over to learn Braille for me in the future, and then help me look at the store!" ”

"Good! Good! In that way, you won't have to suffer with me in the future, and you can find a good in-law! ”

"Second aunt, let's try a set of clothes according to my size first! See how it looks! ”

"Okay, then I'll measure you!"

The second aunt is indeed a veteran, and she doesn't use a ruler, so she memorizes the size of Xiao Tao by tying it with her hand. Then he hugged the cloth and silk thread and said to Xiao Tao

"Don't worry! I'm sure I'll make it beautiful for you! ”

"Hmmm! But don't worry, you just have time to do it! ”

Following the second aunt out, Jin Ling and the others had already finished eating, brushed the plates and bowls, and put them neatly on the table.

Xiao Tao put away his things, went back to the house and lay down on the bed, feeling relaxed, even if the kang was very hard, but it was very comfortable at the moment, "Oops! It's finally time to take a break! ”

In just two minutes, the sound of even breathing was heard.

Over there, Xiao Tao's father took Xiao Tao Niang and Shao Shan Shao Cong to the town to buy five catties of pork belly, a jar of wine, a few cotton cloths, and some candy, and then rushed to Xiao Tao's grandmother's house.

Grandma Tao's house is in the southwest of the mountain, called the village, very close to the white porcelain town, according to the direction, the village is more than 20 miles south of the town, and the house of the little Tao grandmother is in the west of the town, which is four or five miles away.

Xiao Tao's grandmother's house is in the easternmost part, and it is as soon as you enter the village.

As soon as I entered the village, there were people chatting at the door, and those who knew Xiao Tao's father and mother greeted them warmly, "Xiucai father and mother are here!" ”

There are a total of four villages around the mountain, basically one in one direction, not big, and they are all related, always coming and going, and there are a few children of the younger generation in the four villages, but Xiucai is only Zhou Shaoliang, and he has been a county adult for two years, so it can be said that it is famous in the four villages, and most people know it.

Little Tao's face was full of red light, and the spring breeze was proud, "Alas! Here, come and see Daddy! ”

The second uncle's youngest daughter, Yufen, is six years old, small and delicate, when she saw Xiao Tao Niang and them, she ran home, shouting as she ran, "Grandpa, grandma, the second aunt is here, the second aunt is here!" ”

The old lady and the old man inside were crooked on the kang, and when they heard the shout, they quickly got up and came out.

Little Tao Dad had already driven the carriage into the yard, and Shaoliang Shaocong jumped out of the carriage and ran over to his grandfather, hugging their waists.

Shao Cong hugged his grandmother and shouted sweetly, "Grandma, I miss you so much!" Your body has always been good, Shao Cong bought you meat, you can replenish your body! ”

"Oops! My little liver baby, I'm so happy to see your grandma, there's no disease! After saying that, he bowed his head and kissed him.

Shao Shan hugged his grandfather, looked at Shao Cong's good behavior, and dismantled the stage to "You are not shy, the eldest sister earned the silver, where did you buy it!" ”
