Liu Wu let go of the doubts in his heart, and returned home, Liu Ya and Liu Mao still did not sleep, looking at themselves with bright eyes, although they did not say it explicitly, Liu Wu also knew that these two little guys were looking forward to eating the sheep graft that Liu Wu promised many times but did not fulfill.

Liu Wu glanced at the two children amusefully, and said with a smile: "Hurry up and go to bed, be careful to stay up late and become a rabbit spirit." After boiling the sheep gin, it will be the middle of the night. ”

After warning the two little ones, and couldn't bear to disappoint the two children, Liu Wu had to roll up his arms, roll up his sleeves, and stay up late to start making candy.

First fry the peanuts, pound them into crushed peanuts, then boil the starch and syrup, and finally add milk, boil them all in one place until they become sugar lumps, put them on the panel, press them into sugar cakes with a rolling pin, and then cut them into small cubes the size of sugar cubes with a knife.

Afraid of sticky sugar, the catkins deliberately mixed sweet potato starch paste, brushed on the bottom of the pot with a brush, formed a thin film, cut into a piece of sheep gin.

It was the second half of the night when they returned to the house, and Liu Ya and Liu Mao's bodies collapsed tightly, like two straight wooden sticks, each other's small hands were tightly pulled, and their eyes were closed.

It's just a slight fluttering eyelash that immediately exposes the fact that the two of them are pretending to be asleep.

Liu Wu teasingly picked up a piece of candy, swept it over the noses of the two, drew a large circle in the air, and finally put it in his mouth, smacking his mouth and saying regretfully: "It's delicious, but it's a pity that I can't eat it." ”

The catkins picked up a piece again, concocted in the same way, this time just swept over the nose of the willow hair, only to see the willow hair's eyes open violently, the mouth opened, the head "exhaled", swallowed the sugar in the mouth at once, chewed quickly, and laughed as if the trick had succeeded.

Liu Fu Gu was frightened and said: "Catch the mouse, the mouse steals the candy......"

Liu Mao chuckled, deliberately smacking the sugar in his mouth, so fragrant that he almost swallowed his tongue together.

The catkins no longer teased the willow hair, put the small bowl with sugar on the kang, and said to the willow buds: "If you pretend to be asleep again, you won't have anything to eat, get up quickly." ”

Liu Ya stretched out reservedly, gently picked up a piece of candy with her hand, put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly, smiling so much that she couldn't see her teeth.

Liu Wu himself picked up a piece, turned it into the kang compartment, and handed it directly to Liu.

The two children don't sleep, and the Liu family naturally has to hold their eyelids to accompany them.

Seeing that the catkins were handed over, they also opened their mouths, and then, the sweet taste quickly seeped into the mouth.

Liu has been fed three meals a day with bitter medicine in the past two days, and everything he eats in his mouth is a bitter taste, and eating this sugar is just a good relief for bitterness.

Liu smiled warmly, with sugar in her mouth, forgot to chew, her eyes gradually reddened, she never thought that she would have such a contented day, she had to eat, she had to wear, she could get up whenever she wanted, sleep whenever she wanted, no one scolded, no one cared, and if you were sick, you could invite Lang Zhong in the city.

Early in the morning of the second day, Liu Mao asked Liu Mao to take two pieces of candy for Xiaoshi to play together, and he embroidered pillows with Widow Li and Liu Ya, because he gave Chen Yiyun four, and his family had originally finished making three, and there were still four left to do.

In three days, Liu Ya was a beginner, and Widow Li had never done a lot of embroidery work, so the time was still tight.

Liu Wu originally put his mind on He's body, but He was really not good at embroidery, and with Liu Yue, who was still in swaddling clothes, he could only do it temporarily.

Widow Li opened her mouth, with a look of slugging and spitting, wanting to speak and stopping, Liu Wu asked to know that Widow Li wanted her cousin to help with the embroidery work, but she just wanted to eat and live in this house, and now she was busy with work, and Widow Li's family only had two mothers, so she did not start a group and ate with the Liu family.

Widow Li was afraid to come to her cousin, but Liu Wu was unhappy and didn't dare to say anything.

Liu Fu smiled: "Auntie, you are polite, it is not you who teach willow buds embroidery, how can I think of this way of making money, but it is just one more bite to eat, and it is the key to the tight work, you let your sister come, eat and live at home, and the work can be faster, inside and out, I am taking a big advantage." ”

Widow Li breathed a sigh of relief, took two cents for Uncle Niu, and asked him to bring his cousin Zhang Daya over when he passed by Hedong Village, where his cousin was located.

Widow Li's cousin's name is Zhang Daya, she is thin and thin, sixteen years old, always with a smile on her face, a familiar look to people, according to the title of Widow Li, several children should call her aunt, she prefers to call Liu sister-in-law, she calls Liu sister-in-law, Liu Ya and Liu Mao call her Sister Da Ya, only a moment of kung fu, and Liu, Liu Ya and Liu Mao mingle together, warmed up.

Liu Mao and Liu Ya have always been lonely, and they are real, and they soon regard Zhang Daya as a confidant sister, and they are heart-wrenching to others.

Liu Wu didn't like this Zhang Daya very much, and felt that she was too bad for outsiders, and the candy given by Liu Mao was accepted without a kind word, as if she should be given a share of it.

When eating, not only Zhang Daya picked meat to eat, but also sandwiched meat between the stone and Widow Li, so that the willow buds and willow hair could not be picked, the two children had a good meal during this time, and they didn't care about such a mouthful of meat, but the catkins looked at it and felt that this big girl was greedy, and it was clear that she was slaughtered as a wronged leader.

Not only that, Zhang Daya also likes to inquire about things, first inquired about the practice of sheep ginned sugar, saw that Liu Ya didn't know, and then asked why Liu became a widow, why Liu Mao didn't go out and the old cat played in the house, etc., Tiannan Haibei inquired, and even inquired about the Li family.

Zhang Daya's village is hostile to the village of the original Li brothers, and there were many fights because of the water grabbing back then, which was a hostile relationship.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Daya's father, elders, uncles and brothers may have been beaten by the Li brothers and cried for their fathers and mothers.

At that time, Zhang Daya also went to see the excitement, and she remembered the Li brothers' fierceness with one block and ten very deeply.

Liu Wu really doesn't know what words to use to describe Zhang Daya, whether to say that she has a big heart or that she is a nymphomaniac.

Liu Wu didn't want to be spied on, she was displeased, and deliberately diverted the topic, Zhang Daya turned around and began to inquire about Liuhe Village, who had more money, how many offspring in the family, etc., which made Widow Li also embarrassed.

Liu Wu can see that this Zhang Daya, who has not yet decided to marry at the age of sixteen, belongs to the older leftover women in ancient times, loves to be cheap, has a trivial mouth, and thinks that she is playing smart, and treats others as fools.

The only advantage is that Zhang Daya is quite good at doing her work, Widow Li embroiders the border, she fills in the color, and the two cooperate seamlessly, which is very proper.

The cooperation between the two seems to be a single shadow in the shape of willow buds, and the work is too slow.

The slower the more urgent, the more anxious the easier it is to make mistakes, the more mistakes are easier to prick hands, the more hands Zhang Daya is more concerned on the side, looking like teaching willow buds how to embroider, willow catkins look like they are showing off and accusing, straight willow buds said that the little head drooped, and there was no self-confidence in embroidering the live female red, and finally only embroidered the beginning of the dragon picture in the needlework basket, dare not start.

Liu Wu's face was displeased, and he led the red-eyed Liu Ya back to his house, touched Liu Ya's fingers that had pierced several needle holes, and said, "Ya'er, do you know what you did wrong?" ”

Liu Ya'er nodded sheepishly: "I know, it's my brain that is stupid, my hands are also stupid, I don't know the stitches that the eldest sister said, I don't know how to run, I have to run before I learn to walk, the embroidered handkerchief, the orchid is like a leek, and I haven't practiced it yet, I embroider a pillow with Aunt Li and the eldest girl, I don't know what to do." ”

Liu Ya'er was so angry that she pinched Liu Ya'er's small palm, and the pain was so painful that Liu Ya pouted and refused to exhale the pain, lowered her head, holding back her grievances.

Liu Wu said with an awe-inspiring face: "Ya'er, Zhang Daya learned Tongzigong, and learned embroidery at the age of four or five, which two days did you just learn?" Can you eat a big fat man in one bite? The reason why I am angry is not because you are not good enough to embroider, but because you are not strong-willed, and you were extinguished by Zhang Daya's enthusiasm in a few words, and even completely denied all your previous efforts. As long as the kung fu is deep, the iron pestle can also be sharpened into a needle, this embroidery work is not an overnight effort, there must be a landslide in front of the temperament, a needle and a thread must be embroidered, not to embroider fast. ”

Liu Ya nodded thoughtfully, she already had a plan in her heart, and said firmly: "Eldest sister, I will embroider stitch by stitch, every stitch is serious, and I will never be bored." ”

Liu Wu looked at the next house thoughtfully, because the willow hair and the stone are good, and they often hang houses, so the doors of the two houses are always closed, and there is always a big gap in the gap.

In her own house, you can also clearly see that in Widow Li's house, Zhang Daya has already picked up a small half of the pillow embroidered by Liu Ya, and poked Liu Ya's embroidery work with her fingers to show Widow Li, and her eyes are obviously contemptuous of Liu Ya.

Widow Li glanced nervously at the door of Liu's house, and just happened to bump into Liu Wuzheng staring at the two of her meaningfully, her face turned red, she pulled Zhang Daya's arm, lowered her head and continued to work.

Zhang Daya did not put down the pillow embroidered by Liu Ya, picked up the embroidery needle and embroidery thread, and then continued to embroider the dragon picture of Liu Ya.

It turned out that she had the idea of squeezing out one person and making more money.

Liu Wu frowned, and the disgust for Zhang Daya in her heart was even worse, judging from Zhang Daya's disregardful behavior, I am afraid that Widow Li did not tell Zhang Daya that the real employer of this pillow was herself, not Huangjiabuzhuang.

Liu Wu shook his head secretly, after the original plan to hold the pillow work, the idea of continuing to let Widow Li take the lead in making prison clothes was also light, and he still had to bother Liu Changdi's daughter-in-law He, although it was a little tiring to take charge of the work while Nian Liuyue, but after all, he was not separated from himself, and this outsider was always an outsider.

I didn't want Liu Ya to continue to entangle with Zhang Daya, and for no reason to be angry, Liu Wu said to Liu Ya: "Ya'er, Nu Hong is not only embroidery, but the eldest sister also promised He Langzhong to help him make an overall pillow for the Taishi chair, I can measure the size and draw the style." Mother's hands are not good yet, so it's up to you to do it. ”

Liu Ya's face turned red, and she said in a low voice: "Eldest sister, I have only embroidered for a few days, and I have not done other needlework, so don't break the cushion of this Taishi chair." ”

Liu Fu pretended to be disgusted: "I just said that you have confidence, not in a hurry, why are you not confident and anxious?" If it's broken, it's a big deal to break a few pieces of cloth and a few rolls of cotton thread, just like the paper that scholars spend practicing calligraphy, what's the big deal, the eldest sister supports you, it's okay. ”

Liu Yaxiao's face was red, nodding his head as a promise, but he was thinking in his heart that he must sew well with a needle and a thread, and he must not make the wrong needle or the wrong cloth because of impatience.

Liu Ya was finally in a better mood, took the cloth, and immersed herself in the cushions of the Taishi chair with the Liu family.

This cushion is very simple, not simple or simple, a bit similar to the modern sofa cushion, covered in a circle of the Taishi chair, and somewhat similar to the saddle cushion, according to the structure of the human body, not only added a long round lumbar cushion on the back waist, but also made a separate pillow.

It looks simple, but it's also really laborious to do.

Liu Ya quickly forgot about the unhappiness just now, and fell into a new job with Liu.
