In a blink of an eye, a month later, the weather gradually got hotter, the chickens and ducklings raised by Banxia grew up a lot, and the pumpkins and loofahs planted in the backyard all pulled out long vines, and Banxia came back from the field and told Gan Sui excitedly: "That fish has grown again, it is so big." Banxia gestured to Gan Sui with his hand.

Gan Sui hurriedly handed her the water, and wiped her sweat with a handkerchief: "I have said many times, you must wear a hat when the sun is big, and you have forgotten." ”

"It's a hassle to wear a hat." Banxia complained quietly, it was still hot.

"Then it's comfortable to get rid of the sun." Gan Sui looked at Banxia's tanned red face, like a watery peach, felt thirsty inexplicably, wanted to take a bite, handed her the handkerchief, turned around unnaturally and said, "You will be comfortable as a little black girl." ”

"No, it won't." Banxia is most satisfied with the original owner's skin, white and pure, with a pair of watery apricot eyes, in general, it is a weak and natural white lotus look.

To say that the biggest change is Gansui, this month I ate well, Gansui insisted on exercising, the foundation has grown well, the original skinny is like firewood, but now he has a bit of the unparalleled demeanor of the son. The most important thing is that he is still dressed and thin, undressed with meat, came out after bathing last night, wearing a bedgown similar to a vest made by Banxia, accidentally exposed a section of his waist, he actually had abdominal muscles, and Banxia unconsciously swallowed saliva.

Seeing her stupid appearance, Gan Sui chuckled lightly and asked, "Do you want to touch it?" ”

Banxia was ashamed to wrap herself in the quilt, and she smiled even harder.

Beauty misleads people, beauty misleads people.

Gan Erniang has been obediently staying in the courtyard since the last time she was scolded by Banxia, and when she saw Banxia walking over without squinting, she regarded it as if she didn't look at it, but sometimes she still looked into the small courtyard, and Banxia didn't care about her, as long as she didn't let her hear the rumors, she didn't bother to pay attention to it.

Banxia was about to make lunch, heard a knock on the door outside, and went out of the yard to see that it was Hui Niang, and there was a man and an old woman next to her, presumably Hui Niang's father-in-law and mother-in-law. A few people were still carrying a lot of things in their hands

"Why are you here, and you still have so many things, come in quickly, come in quickly."

Several people entered the house, and Gan Sui was reading a book, and when he saw them coming, he hurriedly went to pour tea.

"I'm sorry to disturb Xiucaigong." Hui Niang Xianggong Tian Defu looked like an honest man, and he was willing to hand him tea, and he rubbed his hands with an embarrassed face.

Her mother-in-law, Aunt Tian, looked very kind, took the tea, thanked her and said: "I have always said that I want to thank Xiucaigong, but the old body and son have been in poor health and have been delayed until now." I didn't thank you in person for such a great kindness, but I really didn't want to go, so I left this trip today. There's no need to bother.

"Auntie, where are you talking, Gan Sui and I are just two people on weekdays, and there are no relatives to walk around, you can come and sit and be lively. Are you all right? ”

"It's all right, the money given by the Lin family is enough, and the pharmacy is also dedicated, not only cured this disease, but also cured my old cold legs. It's a blessing in disguise, thanks to you. Our family is here to thank you. As he spoke, he wanted to kneel.

"I can't help it, aren't you breaking our life, it's just a gesture." Quickly sat down with the old lady in his arms.

"Where is the effort, my daughter-in-law has told me, this Master Lin and the county magistrate are brothers-in-law, such an offending thing, where is it willing to be replaced by others. Besides, this is not a trivial matter, this is related to the life of our family, this is a kindness that must be remembered for the rest of our lives. The old lady became more and more excited as she spoke.

Hui Niang hurriedly came to persuade: "Mother, Gan Xiucai and Su Niangzi are both good people, she understands our hearts, don't worry." ”

Then he turned to Banxia and said, "My mother-in-law has a great grace in her heart, and she has been talking about it for a long time, and when I see it, I will be a little excited. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, you haven't had lunch yet, I'll cook, let's eat together."

"Let's go together, I've got some food and fish." Aunt Tian said. The three of them went into the kitchen together.

Tian Defu has a natural reverence for scholars, and Gan Sui is still his benefactor who is still a little cramped to face alone, fortunately, Gan Sui is not those sour and rotten literati, and the person who speaks is also incomprehensible, this Xiucai Gong seems to be very interested in the crops in the field, Tian Defu is a good hand at serving the crops, and he is much more comfortable talking and talking.

Tian Defu is not only very good at growing crops, but also good at handiwork, he saw that Banxia's small back basket was broken, and found tools in the house, which was quickly repaired. He seemed to have found his position all at once, and quickly began to repair the small stools with broken legs and broken farm tools in the corner. The point is that his repair also carries artistic creations, and the repair of bamboo baskets and the like also has patterns, which look better than the original. Gan Sui felt that he had been crushed for the first time in ancient times, he was a manual hard hand in modern times, the last time he repaired the small back basket, he was ugly after making up for it, and now he has seen a genius-level repair master, he is simply ashamed, and he is really a master in the folk.

Waiting for Banxia to cook their meals, they found that the broken things in the house had been repaired. Banxia came out and saw these, "Wow, Brother Tian is so powerful, this supplement is like a work of art." ”

Tian Defu's face turned red, and he smiled silently at the back of his head: "It's nothing, it's nothing." ”

Gan Sui's heart was even more stuffed, and Banxia had to stab again: "Gan Sui made up the ugly basket before, if it weren't for its sturdy, I wouldn't want to carry it out." "Gan Sui can't even squeeze out a smile, he must hurt each other, right, it's a fake plastic husband and wife friendship.

Aunt Tian is an aunt-level brain-dead fan of Gan Sui, and she quickly began to play a round: "It's already great that Gan Xiu can read, if you can do everything, then the others will not have no way to live." ”

"That is, Xianggong is really good at reading, he can remember seven, seven, eight or eight after reading that book twice, and the words are also well written......"

"Alright, let's eat." Gan Sui was obviously still not used to Banxia fancy quaf, and changed the topic with a red face.

Everyone gathered around the table, did not pay attention to food, did not say anything, began to talk and laugh, and ate happily at a meal.

After eating, Gan Sui and Tian Defu went to the back mountain to cut bamboo, summer came, ready to make a bamboo couch, Banxia and Hui Niang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cleaned up the kitchen and sat down. In the package that Hui Niang took out when she took it out, she asked her to change the shoes she made for Banxia to try, and Banxia looked at the shoes and was amazed.

"You and Xianggong are both good at their craft." Isn't it, a dragonfly is embroidered on the upper of the shoe made by Hui Niang, which is vivid, as if she is going to spread her wings and fly high in the next second.

"It's all a small craft, it's not worth mentioning."

"Where is the small craft, I don't know at all, Hui Niang, you teach me, this summer is coming, I can also make two clothes for Gan Sui." I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I bought it when I was in the market last time, but I don't know how to cut it at all, and I want to go to Aunt Wang to learn in two days, and now Hui Niang is here, and it's just dozing and touching the pillow.

Hui Niang didn't expect Banxia to be completely not, and then when she thought of her life experience, it was not surprising that motherless children were always worse in terms of female workers, like if she didn't teach her the aunt next door kindly, and she was willing to work hard, where would she embroider. Even looking at Banxia had a feeling of sympathy, and hurriedly asked Banxia to bring the cloth.

Banxia took out the cloth and touched it: "This is good material, it cost a lot of money." ”

"Two taels of silver. I thought that he would often go to the city, and he would wear better clothes when he went in and out of the official office, so that he would not be looked down upon. ”

"That's the reason, although Xiucai Gong has great skills, but he respects Luo Yi first and then respects people, this dress is more decent, and the first impression is much better." Aunt Tian said: "This fabric is so good that it can't be wasted, those edges and corners can also be pieced together to make a pair of shoes, while it's okay now, I'll make the jacket for you first." ”

Banxia said that he didn't understand and smiled. Fortunately, Aunt Tian immediately began to explain, "This jacket is well played, this base is soft and breathable, and it is comfortable to wear." ”

Banxia understands now, this is to make soles.

"Does Mrs. Su have rags at home?"

"There are no rags, but there are two tattered clothes." Banxia hurriedly found out, and Aunt Tian found flour and went to the kitchen to boil the paste.

Hui Niang looked at Banxia and looked at it with a blank look, and said with a smile: "The first time Banxia girl saw the boiled paste? ”

"I just realized that I can't do this, I can't do that, I really have to learn everything."

"Banxia sister don't worry, this next year's Xiucai will be lifted, you are the lady of the lifter, you can buy whatever you want to wear when the time comes, or let the people below do it, where do you need to do it yourself? It's okay. ”

"I still learned more skills by myself, and I don't want to press myself."

"That's right." While pouring the flour into the pot, Tian Damiang slowly stirred with chopsticks, "This boiling paste must be stirred all the time, and the hand can not stop, and the fire below cannot be too big, if the paste is cooked in the pot, the viscosity is not good." You see, it's pretty much the same now. ”

Over there, Hui Niang hurriedly put out the fire, and Banxia saw that it was really similar to what she was selling now.

Mrs. Tian took out the paste, went to the yard, and found a wooden plank, "The first layer of this jacket is flat." Tian Da Niang evenly smeared a layer of paste on the wooden board, and then pasted the cloth cut out of the torn clothes on it smoothly, "There can be no seams, it must be smooth." Then brush with a layer of paste, and then add another layer of cloth. Men's shoes should have at least five layers of soles, and women's shoes should have no less than three. The last layer of cloth has to be larger, it has to wrap the bottom one, and then it has to be brushed with a layer of paste on the top, and then it can be taken to dry. Today's day is good, the weather can be dry thoroughly, but you still have to pay attention when drying, you have to collect it quickly when it is dry, and you have to redo it when the skin is broken. ”

Banxia didn't expect such a small pair of shoes to be so troublesome, and I felt that my head was too big.

Aunt Tian comforted her: "This sounds complicated, but it's easy to do, come and try." ”

Banxia took a deep breath and began to do what Aunt Tian did.

"It's not very flat, it has to be compacted...... Eh, yes, brush another layer...... It's good to be able to do this for the first time. "After half a summer is done, Aunt Tian commented.

"I'll make you a few more, and you can go and learn how to make clothes with Hui Niang."

"Hui Niang, it's really difficult." Banxia is pitiful.

"This is the first step, wait until the jacket is dried, you have to cut the jacket into pieces of sole, and then wrap the four sides with new white cloth strips, glue the bottom material after the hemming together in multiple layers, use hemp rope to sew the bonded sole along the four sides, and then accept the sole, and finally soak the sole with hot water and then hammer it flat with a hammer, the sole is done."

"That's how the soles are made?" Banxia felt that his mentality collapsed, "Forget it, I feel like I can't learn this advanced technique." It's too difficult, so I'd better learn how to make clothes. ”

As soon as Gan Sui came back, he received Banxia's dog ray, looking at Banxia with an aggrieved face, Gan Sui couldn't wipe his sweat, and hurriedly walked over: "What's wrong?" ”

"I don't know how to make shoes, I can't make clothes, I feel like scum."

Gan Sui breathed a sigh of relief, and thought it was a big deal: "It's okay, if you don't know how to do it, you can buy it, and tomorrow the shopkeeper Yan will settle the silver, and I will buy it for you." ”

Banxia said that this kind of heroic buying can really heal the soul.

Hui Niang looked at it and smiled.

"You play with Hui Niang, and make a bamboo couch with Brother Tian in the courtyard."

I'm not playing, Banxia tears.

"Look how much Gan Xiucai loves you." Hui Niang quipped. "This is still a matter of practice makes perfect, and it will be impossible for a while, so I will take it back and make it for you."

"Then I'll give you handmade silver."

"When you say that, you're treating me like an outsider."

"I just didn't treat you as an outsider to say that, the friendship between us is one thing, but it's another thing to trouble you, I can't keep you busy with this affection ......"

Hui Niang wanted to say something, but Banxia interrupted her.

"I just cherish our friendship so much that I don't want to develop this kind of trouble for granted in small things. No excuses. ”

Hui Niang was helpless: "Then let's talk about the clothes after we get dressed." I saw that Gan Xiucai's clothes were torn, and I will teach you to sew it. ”

"This is good, this is good."

Tian Defu and Gan Sui were so efficient that they made a bamboo collapse in the afternoon, and the family left after dinner in the middle of the afternoon.
