21 Apprenticeship
When the meal is served, everyone sits at the table to eat. Erniu told her family about it.
I'm glad too! I was busy discussing with my family what I wanted to buy. The family is also happy for Erniu. No matter what age a woman can have a skill. Whether it is in marriage or in the future, you can speak at your in-laws' house.
In this era, apprenticeship is equivalent to accepting half a child. Although Aunt Zhang is a widow. But Zhou didn't care so much. I think as long as the character is good. And the two are also familiar. The bamboo in his own house is also often played with the little guy of the Zhang family. The son of the Zhang family is also more than three years old this year. It's not easy to think about Zhang's over the years. I couldn't help but sigh.
But soon it was occupied by the joy of the second girl's apprenticeship.
At that moment, the family discussed what to prepare for the apprenticeship. Incense candles. Pastry. Here, the apprentice also has to buy a new set of clothes for the master from head to toe. Zhang's all bought. Naturally, his youngest son's is also going to be bought. And also to pick a good day. Set up two tables. But thinking that Zhang is a widow, it's not good to be too lively. This matter still has to be discussed with the Zhang family.
After breakfast, the second girl happily went to the next door to reply to Zhang.
Umeko drank the boiled medicine. Zhou took the dishes and chopsticks and washed them. Take out the clothes that have been worn out during this time, sit under the eaves and sew them up. Saw Umeko coming out of the backyard. "Plums. Did the rabbits feed it. Meizi saw her mother's posture and knew what she wanted to do.
"Mother. Hey. ”
After hearing this, Zhou's eyes were full of smiles. "Hey. Nothing more. Come here today and I'll teach you how to sew clothes. ”
Meizi's eyes were full of resistance. It's funny to say. The other girls are pinching embroidery needles. Meizi just can't control this little thing. Pick it up every time. Sewing more than 20 times will definitely be pricked. And the main thing is that what is sewn out is not seen.
can worry about Zhou's. What if I get married in the future! So as soon as Zhou seized the opportunity, he pulled Meizi to practice his skills.
Zhou always firmly believes in the principle that as long as the deep iron pestle is sharpened into an embroidery needle.
Before Zhou could speak, Meizi immediately spoke: "Mother." You see the rain has stopped. There are definitely many mushrooms on the mountain. Or I'll check it out. If I have to, I'll buy it tomorrow. You can also exchange some more money to buy an apprenticeship gift for Erniu tomorrow. ”
Zhou looked at Meizi like that, and knew that he was making excuses and didn't demolish her. just looked at this girl helplessly. "Is there still a shortage of your silver at home?"
"Mother~~~" Zhou looked at Meizi's rare coquettishness in order not to do needlework. This heart has long been soft, and she is not embarrassed. I thought that when the time came, I would have more dowry for my family. Zhou thought so in his heart.
Don't forget to say a word of disgust. "If you want to go, hurry up. Don't be an eyesore in front of my wife. Hum. ”
Meizi listened to Zhou's words, as if she was afraid that she would move a little slower, and Zhou would regret it. The movement is fast
Umeko went back to her room and put on thick-soled shoes. I put on larger straw sandals on the outside. Although these straw sandals are a little ugly, they are non-slip when put on the outside of the shoes. And the shoes don't get wet so quickly. I went to the utility room and put the basket on my back. Chop it to it. He took off his bow and arrows. When I went out, I remembered that in case it would rain again, I took a piece of linoleum cloth.
I went to the stove room and filled some water and set off.
Walk on the path between the villages. The sky looked foggy after the rain. The whole world was washed away. The air was filled with the smell of rain and earth. It's refreshing.
Plum walked up the mountain road. I just came out of the village with a lot of mud stuck to my feet. This will step on the grass that has just been growing in the woods for a short time. Being washed by the grass is almost the same as when I first put it on. If you ignore it, the straw sandals are already mostly wet.
Meizi picked up a lot of them all the way. No one went up the hill today to pick up a bit. Tomorrow it is estimated that there will be more people. Then you may have to go further into the woods. Another pheasant was shot on the way.
The pheasant trotted fast. The plum hung on the back basket and swayed on it, and it didn't feel anything.
Meizi felt the sound of salsa in the woods. I thought this would be over. It's going to be a soup chicken. It's raining! And looking at this battle, it must be heavy rain. Meizi hurriedly took out the linoleum cloth and shook it off. Top on the head. I quickly thought about where there was a place to shelter from the rain in the vicinity.
I suddenly remembered that there was a cave in front of me, and my father had told me that I hadn't been to it the year before last. But the direction is still known.
When we got to the cave, we went in. Looking at the weeds near the cave, it seems that they have been cleared. And there are a few trees around here that have been cut down and piled up.
Meizi thinks that this cave is afraid that someone lives in it! But now it's raining and there's no way. It shouldn't be okay to go in and hide by yourself!
Umeko went into the hole. I looked inside. No one. There was some firewood piled up in the place near the entrance to the hole in the wall. This hole is not deep, and it feels like more than ten square meters. The innermost layer is covered with a layer of dried straw. It is estimated that it is for rest. There was a small pile of burnt ashes in the middle of the hole.
There is also an iron pot inside. with a couple of crockpots. And bowls.
After reading this, Umeko knows that this is probably a temporary resting place prepared by people who often go up the mountain.
Plum put the back basket at the moment. I went to the door and got some firewood. Raised the fire. He took off his wet shoes and socks and set them on the fire and roasted them. The rolled up trouser legs were also lowered. Roasted by the fire, it was steaming.
From time to time, Plum added firewood to the fire. I felt the entrance to the cave suddenly go dark. Meizi looked up. Only a tall black shadow could be seen. The person who came couldn't see his face clearly in the light, and Meizi stood up vigilantly. Scoop up the firewood and put it at hand.
Heping went up the mountain today to see if the trees he had cut down a few days ago to see if they had dried up. Carry it home first. I'm afraid of heavy rain these days. It was soaked in rain and almost unusable. Only then did it take two trips back and forth. The rain kept falling like beads with broken threads. I can't see the road clearly.
Peace to the usual resting place to avoid the shower. Again. He had just arrived at the entrance of the cave and took off the hat from his head. I saw a little woman standing in the cave with a firewood on her face full of vigilance. I couldn't help but laugh on my face. This girl is very alert! "It's me. Peace. ”
Heping thought that he was not speaking, and the little girl was afraid that she would have to rush over.
When Meizi heard the voice, she knew it was an acquaintance. Immediately relaxed.
"It's with big brother! How did you get to the mountains after such heavy rain? ”
Heping took off his coat and put it on a wooden hook hanging at the entrance of the cave, and walked by the firewood pile with plum burning. Listening to Meizi's words, the tail of his eyebrows unconsciously raised.
"You can come to a big girl's house, why can't I come." After speaking, he looked at Meizi with deep eyes.
When Meizi heard this, she knew that she was being teased, and she didn't say anything. He threw the firewood in his hand into the fire. Let the fire burn a little stronger.
Peace knows that he is not bored. The little girl didn't want to take care of herself anymore. Touching his nose in embarrassment. Moved his eyes elsewhere. When I saw the two white and round toes under the legs of Meizi's trousers. The skin was roasted by the fire, and the skin was faintly pink. His eyes unconsciously deepened a lot. Thinking about the dreams that have plagued me for the past few days. I feel embarrassed again. Quickly avoided the look. Moved to the hole. Looking out of the cave, thoughts drifted to more than just somewhere. Only two ears remained, which were getting redder and redder. …………………
