After a few busy days, the eighth day of the new year is coming, Shen originally planned to let Master Xu rest for a day, but Master Xu said that he was afraid that he would not be able to finish it before the year, and if it was frozen, he would not be able to start work, and Master Li's time was very free, so he offered to rest.

The window paper had been pasted the day before, and the new bed was completed and moved into the new house, one on each side, Zifu picked the innermost in the west, and Shen picked the innermost in the east, saying that the first room in the east hall was reserved for Ziqing, and there was nothing to move, and Shen's bed and wardrobe cage were going to be put in the guest room, so just take the futon over, and the new cage had not yet been typed. The main thing is to place the pot in the stove room, put the dishes and chopsticks away, and some rice, flour, oil, and dried vegetables, etc. So this move is still very simple.

He brought his two sons early in the morning and set off a firecracker at the door, but the others didn't come, saying that they wouldn't come to make trouble if they knew that Shen's side hadn't made a profit. The old man and the Tian family also came later, and Zeng Ruiqing happened to be at home and came with them.

What Ziqing didn't expect was that Chunyu's family came, remembering that the Shen family didn't seem to say that they wanted to have a treat, Ziqing really had a headache for this family, as long as she found an opportunity, the whole family would come out to eat for nothing, and she didn't do any work, and she would pull the good dishes into her bowl when she was on the table, regardless of whether there were outsiders or not. Not to mention, they really gave ten cents this time, which is considered a gift.

Zeng Ruixiang was not at home, the old man and Zeng Ruiqing helped put the pot into the stove, invited the stove god, Shen began to light the fire to cook, and Zhou helped. The old man saw that one table was not enough to sit, so he asked Zeng Ruiqing to go to the wooden house to move the old tables and chairs, and set another table, anyway, the restaurant was big enough. Zilu locked the wooden house with his hands.

The whole cabinet of the stove room was well received, neat and good-looking, originally Ziqing wanted Master Li to paint apple green, but I didn't expect Master Li to turn it into emerald green, even Shen didn't expect that there would be such a good effect, saying that cooking in such a place, the food would be delicious.

Ziqing saw that the people on the He family's side were all happy for their own family without exception, while the relatives on the Tian family's side only had envy and jealousy, except for the old man, of course, he had been helping here, and he had long been surprised. Ziqing secretly told Zilu, and Zilu was happy when he saw their respective expressions. It is estimated that they don't know how much these furniture are worth, you must know that it is almost two hundred taels of silver, and you must know that Zeng Ruixiang only earns eighteen taels of silver a year.

After lunch, seeing that the house was still relatively messy, the old man asked Tian and them to go back, Shen sorted out the futon or something, He helped Shen make a new quilt, the cotton wool was played a few days ago, Shen first made two beds for urgent use, and also dismantled the old mattress again, two beds and made a bed, this time all made mattresses.

After dinner, all the people were sent away, Shen boiled several pots of hot water, and everyone took a bath separately, fortunately Ziqing asked Master Xu's apprentice to make two wooden barrels, and the two of them washed at the same time It was much faster, Ziqing had never taken a bath so comfortably in his previous life, but the soap horn used was not very comfortable, and the bath water was washed into the pit outside through the slope, just to make fertilizer. Ziqing, Shen, and Zixi were lying on the new bed, warm and warm, thinking that when they first came, they were actually lying in the pigsty, and now the environment is like heaven, not to mention how beautiful it is.

It got colder day by day, and Shen didn't have much to do outside, so he asked Master Xu's apprentice to make two embroidery frames, which took a day to do, and Master Li also painted it, during this period, Shen went to the city, bought a fine white silk satin and a lot of silk threads back, and said that he wanted to embroider a screen, Ziqing felt very surprised, and asked: "Mother, how much silver does it cost to embroider a good screen?" ”

"Depending on how big it is, one foot and a half wide, three feet long is generally three taels of silver, and the good ones can be sold for five taels, and the three feet wide and nine feet long can be sold for thirty taels of silver, and the good ones are also sold for forty or fifty taels. This is the price of double-sided embroidery, and the single-sided one is not as expensive as this. ”

"Then mother, why didn't you embroider before, if you want to embroider, isn't our family already rich?" Ziqing really doesn't understand.

"Silly child, I just got married, the new daughter-in-law has to set rules to do housework, how can I have time to do this, the house where my mother lives is so dark during the day, I want to hide from doing embroidery work, and it hurts my eyes to do it for a long time at night, and my mother can only look at the empty during the day to make a few purses, but your grandma saw it, saying that the money for selling purses should also be handed over, and my mother saw that your aunt did not do any needlework except for sewing, so she knew that this was the meaning. Later, it didn't take long for my mother to have your eldest brother, the first grandson of your grandfather is still happy, and let your grandma help watch it for a year, and then with your second brother, your grandma has no heart to see, my mother has so many children, where is the time and energy to secretly do embroidery work, this time I also look at the family is idle, I can also make my own decisions, and I can teach you, my mother wants to pick up this craft, and now I don't know if I have forgotten it? ”

Only then did Ziqing remember to ask her sister-in-law to teach her how to embroider and said angrily: "Let your mother teach you to go." "It's such a thing to dare to love.

"Then mother, you don't do embroidery anymore, grandma didn't say anything about you."

"Why didn't you say it, but someone has to do the housework at home, your two aunts don't do it, your grandma doesn't do it, you can only do it with two daughters-in-law, and there are several pigs at home, it's really tiring."

"Grandma knows that if my mother can buy a big pig for a piece of embroidery silver, and she can buy ten pigs for a big embroidery job a year, maybe how can she regret it?" Ziqing snickered.

"I just embroidered a few purses of copper coins and handed them in, and she didn't know that I would do large double-sided embroidery, besides, she was even more reluctant to let your two aunts do things."

Ziqing watched Shen use a piece of painting powder to trace the lines carefully, Shen wanted to embroider a peony with a width of one and a half feet and a width and a length of three feet.

Ziqing watched the embroidery take shape day by day, and felt that it was really amazing, and practiced making purses more diligently, and finally didn't have to mend socks, and the embroidery had not taught her, Shen said that she had to take the needle smoothly, take the work, and then learn embroidery.

Ziqing saw that Shen's embroidery was very busy, probably because she was afraid that there would be no silver for the New Year, and the new clothes at home had not yet been made, so she took care of the housework very carefully, buying vegetables, cooking and stir-frying, and generally buying some meat and bones, radishes, cabbage, chrysanthemum and so on in the field, Ziqing did not go out alone, she was with Zilu. Besides, when it's cold, you can keep the meat you buy for two days.

Occasionally, the two of them will go to the bazaar to have a look, Ziqing still wants to find fruits and fruit trees or something, and when she sees a chicken seller, she will buy some back, but this time it is mostly roosters. Zixi can already walk, but he is not very stable. In the evening, Ziqing and Zilu will recognize words together, and they will also practice simple words with Zifu's corner paper. In short, Shen said that it was the most comfortable day ever after getting married.
