It is said that Wang Erdu took the money and went out.

Three or four miles away from the village, there is a small river ditch. A thick log was erected over the ditch as a bridge for people to cross back and forth.

Wang Erdu came to the single-plank bridge, and there was a person who wanted to cross the bridge. This person may be a little stunned, and say to himself: "The double bridge is better, but it is difficult to walk alone." ”

Wang Erdu's words were heard by Wang Erdu, and he thought it was very interesting and elegant. Then he leaned over and said stupidly: "Teach me what you just said, and I will give you a penny." ”

The person who crossed the bridge looked at Wang Erdu, and found that he was a little stupid, and he really had money in his hand. And he taught him, and got a penny.

Not far from the single-plank bridge, there is an old man and a young man who are smashing ice and catching fish. Wang Erdu felt that it was novel, so he leaned over to take a look.

When the old man who smashed the ice saw someone coming to watch, he said with emotion: "The water is clear, and there is not a single small fish." ”

When Wang Erdu heard this, he thought that this was also very elegant, and said to the old man: "You say it again, you taught me, and I will give you a penny." ”

The old man who smashed the fish turned around and saw that he was a mentally retarded person, smiled, and said it several times in a row. Wang Erdu learned and gave the old man a lot of money.

After leaving the old man, Wang Erdu walked forward again. When I walked to a small village, I saw a man feeding pigs. After the pig food was poured into the pig food trough, the pig did not eat it, and raised its head and barked at the owner. The pig feeder shouted: "If you don't eat food, you hum blindly." ”

When Wang Erdu heard it, he thought that this sentence was not bad, and gave the pig feeder a lot of money to let the family teach him.

And he went on again, and came to a grove of trees. In the woods, all kinds of birds "chirp" non-stop, very lively.

At this time, an eagle plunged into the woods, and all the birds stopped calling. A man stood beside the forest and said, "When a bird enters the forest, a hundred birds suppress the sound." ”

Wang Erdun heard it, leaned over again, and spent a lot of money to learn this sentence.

A path appeared in front of me, leading to Silly Boy's Village. Wang Erdu, so he walked back along the path.

As I walked, I met an old man who was picking up dung. The old man wanted to pick up a pile of dung, and a female dog gathered in front of the dung to grab food, and the dog barked at the old man. The old man said, "Old, you dare to bare your teeth, and I will give you a dung fork." ”

Wang Erduan heard it, rushed over again, and spent a lot of money to learn this sentence.

After learning five sentences, the five hanging money was also spent. Wang Erdu felt a little hungry and went home.

It's okay at night, Qi Xiaoting recited a super long drowsy spell to Wang Erdu, and Wang Erdu slept until dawn.

Qi Xiaoting was busy.

It turns out that there is such a custom here: the new daughter-in-law returns to the door on the third day. Before you go back to the door, make a pair of pants, a jacket, and a hat. There is also a slip to explain this:

Make a good pair of pants, which indicates a prosperous life; Make another jacket to show that life is good; After making a hat, the small life must be hot. And it has to be done from the bottom up, which is called "sesame blossoming knots." ”

The new daughter-in-law entered the door on the first day, worshiped heaven and earth, entered the cave room, feasted relatives and friends, and couldn't move the needle; On the third day, I came back early in the morning. The time to really work is only the next day.

The average new daughter-in-law can't do these three jobs. There are also those who are particularly fast, and when they finish the work, fold them in order: put the pants at the bottom, the jacket in the middle, and the hat over the jacket, and give it to the mother-in-law before returning to the door. It's called "capped".

This new daughter-in-law was known as the "Qiao Daughter-in-law" and was praised by her family and neighbors.

Therefore, it is the wish of every new daughter-in-law to be able to finish the hat.

Qi Xiaoting also followed the folk customs, took three pieces of fabric from her mother-in-law, and made it with confidence.

Don't look at the fact that there is only one day, and it can't be simple, from time to time to see the new daughter-in-law, Qi Xiaoting has to put down the work in her hand and talk to people.

Therefore, there are very few who can do these three things well. It has become an honor that the new daughters-in-law strive for.

Wang Erdu's sister-in-law, Zhang Huanqiao, is very strong. When I got married, I wanted to do three jobs, and I was a clever daughter-in-law who "covered my hat", and united my name and reputation.

How could I not be angry, hurry up and hurry, the hat was only half done, and the sky was bright, so I had to hand over the unfinished work to my mother-in-law, and I regretted it for life.

Zhang Huan happened to see that the stupid uncle had married a daughter-in-law who was more beautiful than himself, and he was already jealous. I thought to myself: If I press myself on the needle and thread and finish three tasks, my position in this family will be shaken! Nothing can be said to make the new daughter-in-law finish the three.

After breakfast, Zhang Huanqiao hugged his two-year-old son and called an uncle and concubine as a companion to talk to Qi Xiaoting together.

"The two sisters-in-law are here." Qi Xiaoting hurriedly stood up and gave up her seat.

These two people are the bride who picked up the kiss, and they laughed in the house yesterday afternoon, and Qi Xiaoting knew them.

"Yo, that's all it takes. The stitches are so neat, and it's so good to live! It seems that there is no need to bow down. Zhang Huanqiao put his son on the bed, picked up Qi Xiaoting's pants that were about to be made, looked at them, and praised them.

"What worship?" Qi Xiaoting didn't understand, thinking that it was some kind of custom, so she couldn't help asking.

Zhang Huanqiao laughed so hard that he refused to ask.

Uncle and concubine smiled and said to Qi Xiaoting: "It's a joke about the new daughter-in-law doing work." ”

"Tell me about it, how about it?" Qi Xiaoting asked.

It's better to tell a story than a joke. These old daughters-in-law who came over talked about meat () and slipped away. Some even asked them about the cave () room, but Qi Xiaoting really couldn't accept it.

Uncle and concubine are also very talkative, and seeing that Qi Xiaoting is easy-going, she has the heart to get close to her. As soon as Qi Xiaoting asked, she spoke:

"I said that there was such a new daughter-in-law, and I didn't know how to do needlework, and I was embarrassed to say it. On the morning of the second day of the wedding, he took a piece of pants and went back to his room.

"Although the new daughter-in-law has never done it, I have heard that it is necessary to make pants with a fork and a crotch press. (In the early years, the pants were sewn on the waistband with a forked crotch.) Among them, the cramp stitching is the key to making pants, and it is stained with more than half a needle).

"During the day, I didn't dare to do it in front of people, and I wouldn't do it at night when there was no one. I can't help but think of the scene of following my mother to pray to God and worship Buddha at my mother's house.

"I thought that the life of bread and bread and stretched out my hand was to ask God for it. And he bowed down to the wall. While praying, he prayed, 'Fork the crotch, fork the crotch, go to my mother's house and burn incense.' ’

"This new daughter-in-law has a concubine who came three years before her. The hands are very skillful. When I got married, I wanted to finish the hat and compete for the reputation of "smart daughter-in-law". Just because the people who made the new house delayed the time, the hat was only half done, and I ended up with a lifelong regret. As soon as the brother and daughter-in-law passed the door, she used her heart and did everything possible not to let the second family surpass her.

During the day, she pretended to talk to her new daughter-in-law, stayed in the new house all day, and did not see her new daughter-in-law move a stitch. I couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

"I thought to myself: Does she have the ability to fly needles? Deliberately not moving during the day, and rushing out at night? I have something in my heart, and I can't sleep.

In the dead of night, when the lights were still on in the new house, I tiptoed to the window, moistened the window paper with my index finger with saliva, and looked into a small hole, and saw that the new daughter-in-law was bowing to the wall. The pants are still being thrown on the kang.

Although this concubine is competitive, she is also a person who is a daughter-in-law, and she knows the difficulties of being a daughter-in-law. I thought, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child, can do everything anywhere?

"Listen to her words, you can't cross your crotch. It's the third watch now, even if she puts a crotch on it, she can't meet her eyes all night, and she can't finish these three jobs when she returns to the door tomorrow.

"It's hard to see her, why don't I help her! So, he sneaked into the house, and while the new daughter-in-law bowed her head and prayed, she went to two and forked her crotch.

The new daughter-in-law was tired of praying, and when she turned around and saw that the crotch of her pants was really forked, she thought that she was worshipping the gods. Then he quickly knelt down and bowed up, praying while praying: "Press the seam, press the seam, and go to my mother's house to make offerings!" ”

She stood outside the door, saw this through the crack in the curtain, and laughed secretly. I thought to myself, seeing that she is not big, she is still superstitious. I'm going to sew it on her again, and she might even pray to make the whole pants for miles. Helping her like this hurts her.

So, while the new daughter-in-law was not paying attention, she went over and removed the crotch on the fork again, and then quietly went back to the house to sleep.

The new daughter-in-law bowed for a while, thinking that the sewing was pressed. When I turned around, I saw that not only was the seam not pressed, but even the crotch on the fork was removed. was so angry that he sat on the kang and scolded: "Bad, bad, my mother's house will scold you." ”

Qi Xiaoting was also amused by the story and said, "I don't know this story. It's just that I think it's made up to motivate girls to learn to do needlework! ”

Uncle and Auntie: "That's what it means, too." There is no mother who doesn't look forward to her daughter competing for the reputation of a 'smart daughter-in-law' in her in-law's family. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "It's just a false name, what's the use?" ”

Uncle and Auntie: "It's very useful!" The mother-in-law is respectful, the concubine is stammering, and the people in the village also worship it, and they greet them from afar, and no one dares to underestimate them. I see that your hands are very skillful, Nunu Jiner, make three pieces, and you can end up with the reputation of 'Qiao Daughter-in-law'.! ”

Qi Xiaoting smiled and didn't say anything more. But I thought in my heart: Since I borrowed Miss Feng San's body and married on behalf of others, why not strive for her to be a "good daughter-in-law", and it can be regarded as worthy of her body.

Qi Xiaoting's clothes are all made by herself, and she is already very skilled in needlework. In addition, she is a "night owl", and she doesn't sleep or nap all night.

There was no work during the day, Qi Xiaoting fought all night, and finally completed the three needlework.

The next morning, I carefully leveled it, and according to the rules, I put my pants on the bottom, my jacket on my pants, and my hat on my jacket, and gave it to my mother-in-law neatly.

The mother-in-law didn't expect the stupid son to marry such a clever daughter-in-law, so she couldn't close her mouth happily, hugged her and walked away several times, and praised the new daughter-in-law.

Grace Zhang Huanqiao's face was sheathed, and she was so angry that she didn't pay attention to Qi Xiaoting anymore.
