Chapter 14: New Clothes and New Shoes
At night, a light is like a bean.
Sister Li Yue took Yue'e and Yuejiao to make clothes under the lamp, the gray light was very hurtful, but the children of the poor family cared about this, not to mention the new clothes for the New Year, the sisters who rushed to make the system were happy, and the few people around the side were even more impatient.
"Sister, can you really earn another five taels of silver in three months?" Yuejiao is not a person who does work, let alone a patient person, after sewing for a while, she threw the needlework in her hand to Yue'e, and was glared at by Sister Li Yue, but asked Sister Li Yue with a greedy face.
"What's the point of earning five taels of silver, the eldest sister has to earn a little more." Sister Li Yue said calmly, and then nodded Yuejiao's forehead angrily, this girl is the most lazy, but Yuejiao is not willing to do needlework Sister Li Yuejiao is also lazy, besides, this girl can't see anyone in needlework, however, Sister Li Yue thought, as soon as Enke announced, when the time comes, someone will have to go to the dock to pick up guests, this person is none other than Mo Yi, but Mo Yi has a wooden temperament and a bad mouth, so Yue Jiao has to follow and talk, and the two just complement each other.
"What, where is there a game again?" As soon as she heard Sister Li Yue say that she made more money, Li Yuejiao came to her heart and asked with interest. Gambling is gambling.
"Little girl, I think about the game all day, I can tell you, that is done occasionally, and you are not allowed to touch it in the future, how many people in the town sell their children and daughters because of this, you can't see it?" Sister Li Yue glared at the fourth sister.
"I know, it's just that I can't think of anything more profitable than that, that's why I asked." Li Yuejiao's aggrieved flat mouth.
"We'll know when the time comes." Sister Li Yue smiled and kept it secret, then bit off the thread on her hand, stood up, and shook the clothes on her hand, which was Mo Feng's round-necked jacket.
"Fifth brother, let's try." Sister Li Yue said to Li Mofeng, these five brothers were sick some time ago, and they have been better in the past two days, but they still look very thin, Mo Feng's body is what Sister Li Yue has been worried about, in her previous life, Mo Feng's body and bones have not been good, and she finally died. Therefore, now, Sister Li Yue can't help but pay more attention.
"Hmm." Mo Feng, who was sitting at the table and studying with his second brother, saw that the new clothes were ready, and his pale face smiled brightly. happily walked up to Sister Li Yue and stretched out her two arms.
Sister Li Yue helped him put on his clothes, and then picked up a six-petal melon hat on the table and fastened it to his little head, and the little guy smiled happily.
"Shoes, and new shoes, new shoes made by my mother." Xiao Bao'er, the younger sister on the side, slapped her face on the side. Then he ran to the side of a closet, opened it, and there were new shoes side by side.
"Fifth brother, come and try it, which pair is suitable?" Xiao Yuebao beckoned to his fifth brother.
Sister Li Yue hurriedly took the oil lamp over, asked Xiao Mofeng to sit on the stool, stretched out two fingers and gestured at his feet, and then chose a pair of new shoes from the row: "Fifth brother try this pair, you should be able to wear this pair this year." ”
"Hmm." Li Mofeng nodded with red eyes, put the shoes on his feet, one foot was just right, he was reluctant to step on the new shoes on the ground, and stepped on the original shoes, looking left and right, with a happy face.
"My shoes, I can wear them this year." On the other hand, Xiaoyue Bao'er also hugged a new pair of shoes, and said to her eldest sister with a face.
"Well, my sister can wear that pair this year." Sister Li Yue nodded.
On the other hand, Yue'e Yuejiao also squeezed over and took a pair from each of them, and Sister Li Yue also trembled and picked up the last pair of half-sewn shoes, and the sisters' eyes were all red.
This dozen pairs of shoes were sewn up day and night during the last month when Li Niangzi was sick in bed, dragging her sick body, and they were shoes of various sizes that the sisters needed to wear from childhood to adulthood.
Only Sister Li Yue's pair, Mrs. Li really couldn't support it, so she only sewed half of it, and she left with a trace of regret.
"Eldest sister, I miss my mother......" Xiao Yuebao'er looked at the new shoes, flattened her mouth, red eyes, and sobbed. Li Niangzi was only two years old when she left, and now she can't remember what her mother looks like, and this pair of shoes represents her mother.
"If you miss your mother, you will go to your father's house in the middle and talk to your father's tablet." Sister Li Yue rubbed her little head.
"Hmm." Xiao Yue Bao'er went to the room of Li Xianggong and Li Niangzi in the back room with her new shoes.
After a while, Sister Li Yue heard Xiao Yuebao's voice from the inner room: "Dad, mother, it's the New Year soon, we still have new clothes to wear this year, as well as new shoes you made, by the way, I also ate meat and dumplings the day before yesterday......"
"Xiao Yuebao, don't say it, you have to make your fourth sister cry before you can take a break, go to bed." At this time, the fourth Li Yuejiao couldn't hold back any longer, rushed into the back room with a wow, pulled Xiao Yuebao out, and locked the room.
Mo Yi and Mo Feng also had red eyes, and then carefully put away the new clothes and shoes, and returned to the room silently.
"Eldest sister......" Yue'e threw herself on Sister Li Yue's knees, wrapped her hands around Sister Li Yue's waist, and her shoulders shook.
"Alright, let's go back to the house after collecting my things." Sister Li Yue patted her shoulder and said.
Yue'e nodded.
That night, the Li family sisters and brothers missed the deceased, and they were full of longing for the future because of the eldest sister's promise.
In the blink of an eye, it is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
The thatched hut on the mountainside has been built, and the day before yesterday, Sister Li Yue and Mo Yi had already packed up and stopped packing, and they could move here after the New Year.
And on both sides of the east and west houses, no matter what happens on weekdays, the New Year still has to be spent together.
That Li Rongyan had been staring at the half-dried hare on the side of the West House for a long time, and he was finally able to reach his mouth at this time, and he came over early in the morning to ask for it.
For dinner on the 30th night, the good things of the two families will be cooked together, and the hare meat from the Westinghouse side will naturally be taken out and eaten together.
Li Moyi took down the half of the air-dried hare and handed it to Li Rongyan.
"Where's the rabbit leg? Why is the rabbit leg gone, I still saw it the day before yesterday? Li Rongyan looked at the hare, but found that his most coveted rabbit leg was gone, this winter the rabbit has stored thick fat, especially the rabbit leg, bulging a lot, he has long been hungry for the rabbit leg, and he has booked it with A-Niang at home, but he didn't expect that at this time, the rabbit leg is gone.
Let him rejoice in the air, how can he be willing to rest?
"The rabbit leg meat is going to be used to worship my father." Li Moyi said.
"No, you must bring it, otherwise, you will not be allowed to go to the house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." The chubby Li Rongyan stared at Li Moyi with small eyes.
"If you don't go, you won't go, who is rare." Li Yuejiao snorted angrily on the side.
"Jinfeng ......" Sister Li Yue looked at Li Jinfeng on the side, Li Rongyan was younger and couldn't explain reason to him, but Li Jinfeng was fifteen years old and sensible.
"Okay, isn't it just a rabbit leg? When the time comes, just let A-Niang leave you two chicken legs, I'm afraid I won't be able to make up for it. Li Jinfeng slapped Li Rongyan angrily, snatched the rabbit meat from Li Rongyan's hand and went back to the East House first.
Li Jinfeng naturally understands that even if Westinghouse doesn't take out anything at all, this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner must be eaten together, otherwise it will be spread out, and his own father and aunt still don't know how to talk behind people's backs.
"Hmph." Li Rongyan snorted angrily.
Sister Li Yue's brothers and sisters pouted and shrugged.
