Widow Jiang hadn't seen her for the past two days, so she didn't know if what she said was true or not, but she couldn't help but ask as she watched her slowly fiddle with the red silk cloth, "Why don't I help you plant it?" ”

"Really?" Hua Ronghua's eyes lit up, to be honest, she just figured out how to make the purse, but it was really necessary to take scissors to find that there were quite a lot of places where she couldn't do it, "Then thank you Sister Jiang." ”

"Hey, let's be polite!" Widow Jiang took the scissors, clicked a few scissors, and cut the red silk cloth.

Looking at a large stack of red silk cloth of the same size on the kang, Hua Ronghua's eyes showed envy, "Sister Jiang is so amazing!" ”

Widow Jiang smiled and said, "It's still good to make new scissors, borrow me for a while!" Two of the partitions I made were thicker, and my scissors couldn't do it. ”

"Okay, Sister Jiang wants to use it." Hua Ronghua responded generously.

The two of them sat by the window on the kang, chatting while making purses and chatting with the light outside, basically Widow Jiang was talking, Hua Ronghua listened to everything.

"I said, Sister Hua, what are you doing on that side? What a delay! Widow Jiang had already finished doing two, and found that Hua Ronghua was still struggling with the first purse, and couldn't help but look up, this sight startled her.

Hua Ronghua raised his head, "Huh? Don't you need to ask for edges? I look at that! And it's easy to get off the line if you don't ask for it! ”

"Hey, this isn't your own job, why do you do it so delicately?" Widow Jiang knew this well and began to lecture to Hua Ronghua.

"Anyway, this side will eventually turn into the purse, as long as you can't see it from the outside, no one can open it to see inside. You won't make any money with this embroidery method at all, unless you use it yourself or give it away, you will embroider so finely! ”

Hua Ronghua suddenly realized, it turned out that it was not that he was too stupid, but that he was too sincere? !

Hua Ronghua, who got the 'guidance', embroidered the purse again, the speed was much faster, and the embroidery technique became more and more skillful, but the pattern was a little single, she came completely according to the appearance given by Xiao Er, and it didn't change at all.

Widow Jiang was almost dizzy, "Why doesn't Sister Hua change her tricks?" ”

"I ......" Hua Ronghua glanced at Widow Jiang's purse with flowers and fish variety, and then looked at her own purse that was the same except for the different colors of the embroidery and even the angle of the petals, and she was also a little disgusted, "Don't I think it can be faster to embroider like this!" ”

Although he said this, Hua Ronghua also made up his mind to change the pattern, and after thinking about it, he decided to embroider a few bamboos, the style is simple, and after embroidering, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, this red with green, why is it so stupid!

After thinking about it, I decided to embroider words on this purse, and it is almost the New Year, and embroidering the words "Wishing you prosperity" will definitely attract people's like.

Hua Ronghua embroidered a word on a purse, and after embroidering the four words, he found that the embroidery was more difficult than embroidery, especially the traditional Chinese characters that made a fortune had too many strokes!

"Ah, sister, you are still literate!" Widow Jiang came over with a needle and thread, looked at the four newly baked purses on the kang and couldn't help but scream, picked it up and looked at it carefully, and couldn't put it down.

Her appearance stunned Hua Ronghua, and she couldn't help but ask, "Is this good?" ”

"Of course, the purse is not only used by women, but also by men, but men have few tricks, let me tell you, if he doesn't give you ten cents and don't sell him!"

When Widow Jiang said this, Hua Ronghua's already wavering heart was strengthened again, anyway, it is also embroidery, if it is a little troublesome, it will be a little troublesome, how can you make more money.

Hua Ronghua couldn't help but ask when she saw that Widow Jiang couldn't put down the two purses, "Sister Jiang, since embroidering makes money, why don't you embroider?" ”

"Am I not illiterate!"

"I'll teach you!"

"That's great!" Widow Jiang couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Hua Ronghua was not hypocritical, and directly taught her how to write those words and how to write them with her embroidered purse.

Widow Jiang purely learns those words as flowers, and she learns them quickly.

"Sister, these words are well embroidered, and the New Year's is auspicious!" Widow Jiang embroidered the first word and said with a smile.

Later, Hua Ronghua found a few traditional Chinese characters such as "Ping'an" and "Great Luck" to embroider some of the words with few strokes, and hurriedly finished embroidering the purse on the morning of the 21st.

"My sister is busy with her work, and she can finally eat a stable meal, seeing that you drink porridge and porridge every day here, everyone has lost a lot of weight!" Widow Jiang joked with a smile on the side.

"Huh? Am I really thin? Hua Ronghua touched her face, and pinched her stomach a little happily, she was not very satisfied with her fleshy figure, this time it was really a blessing in disguise to really lose weight!

Widow Jiang looked at Hua Ronghua left and right, "Don't say it, my sister is also a beautiful little beauty when she loses weight!" Do you want my sister to send a purse? If I do, I'll go. ”

Hua Ronghua didn't care about her quip, but looked at the sky and said, "Let's go in the afternoon, I have to get something to eat first." ”

"Yes, yes, the biggest eat, sister, you eat first, call me when you leave in a while." So saying, he went back to his room.

Hua Ronghua directly stewed some oil and salt rice in a clay pot, added some cabbage into it, and even the vegetables and rice came out in a pot. When the meal was cooked, I took the purse I made and looked at it carefully, and the appearance was really nothing, but the edges that were sewn up inside were a little uneven, and I always felt like I was going to take off the thread.

After thinking about it, Hua Ronghua withdrew a wood from the stove that was about to burn out, and then gently burned and pinched those threads on the weak flames, and those threads were well disposed of.

Hua Ronghua was overjoyed, and couldn't help but take all his purses and dispose of the threads one by one, almost burning the rice.

After eating, Hua Ronghua called Widow Jiang to go to the street to deliver the purse.

To be honest, Hua Ronghua really didn't expect that Widow Jiang would send her embroidered purse over together, and thought that it would have to be sent to Hua Ji on East Street! I can't help but feel a little worried, there are only a hundred in the store, if there are too many gifts, can they still be sold at a high price?

Fortunately, the price reduction she was worried about did not happen, but the shopkeeper was very happy with their embroidered purse and showed it to the shopkeeper.

After a while, Xiao Er came back and said to the two: "The shopkeeper said that the purses sent by the two ladies are very good, and they will add more money to you." This kind of embroidery is collected according to nine texts, and the other eight texts! If you want to make this kind of purse again in the future, remember to send it over, and promise to give you a high price! ”

In the end, when Hua Ronghua left, he bought a foot of silk cloth of various colors of light blue, light blue, blue gray, light pink, and orange, plus embroidery thread, and spent nearly half of the money earned in a blink of an eye!

"My shopkeeper is celebrating the New Year in the county, if this lady makes a finished product, as long as it is before twenty-eight, she will send it!" Before leaving, Xiao Er smiled and asked on the side, and Hua Ronghua responded.

After leaving the shop for a while, Widow Jiang suddenly muttered, "This shop is not good, the embroidered characters are all ten wen, and his family will give nine wen, so he will make a lot of money!" ”

Then why don't you sell Shiwen? Hua Ronghua wanted to choke her, but after thinking that the two were not very familiar, she gave up.

"Sister Jiang, I'm going to go to the street to buy something in a while!"

"Are you going to buy white rice and white noodles again?" Widow Jiang looked envious, and secretly wondered in her heart: It seems that Sister Hua's previous husband's family must have been in very good condition, otherwise how could she raise Diao with this mouth!

Hua Ronghua smiled embarrassedly, "No, I'm planning to buy some corn noodles and sorghum rice, it's too expensive to eat white rice and white noodles every day." ”

In the past, although I used to eat white rice in the Lu family, but Mrs. Lu was very picky, it would be good to eat it once in three or five days, and it was the money spent by Hua Ronghua, this time I bought white rice and white noodles according to modern habits, but it was really expensive to eat it in a few days, there was no way, she could only mix some coarse grains to eat, after all, there was no silver ticket now.

Hua Ronghua separated from Widow Jiang and went to buy some food and went back, seeing that there were not a few cabbages left from the last time, and in the afternoon he went to the market to buy a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes, which were easier to put away.

"It's almost the New Year, and my sister doesn't prepare some New Year's goods?" Widow Jiang couldn't help but come over to see Hua Ronghua buying things at home one by one, and saw that it was just some cabbage and potatoes, and her heart was slightly disdainful, "Although it is a serious matter for you to save money alone, you have to live the New Year!" ”

"I bought it!" Hua Ronghua pointed to a newly bought wooden basin next to him, which contained a lot of small cloth bags, "I bought mung beans, peanuts, dried peppers, and mushrooms!" ”

Widow Jiang glanced at the wooden basin and asked, "You didn't buy some meat?" No matter how bad the conditions are, people have to eat meat for the New Year! ”

"Isn't this the New Year?"

After sending away the widow Jiang who persuaded her to buy New Year's goods, Hua Ronghua turned around and lit a fire to boil water, she wanted to give birth to some mung bean sprouts, she had this plan when she was in the Lu family, but she didn't have time to do it yet.

Then I picked two more cabbages and took the core, made a small pot of spicy cabbage, mixed the ginger, garlic, chili pepper and mashed radish together, and then spread it on the cabbage that had been killed. After marinating, I also specially sent a big bowl to Widow Jiang.

"I ate a lot of Sister Jiang's pickles some time ago, and this is my pickled spicy cabbage for Sister Jiang to taste."

Widow Jiang looked a little curious when she looked red and red, and said, "A little pickle is also worth your return." ”

"It's not yet, it's for Sister Jiang to taste." Hua Ronghua smiled.

"Okay, thank you, sister." Widow Jiang took the bowl with a smile.

In the evening, Hua Ronghua was simmering sorghum rice, and suddenly smelled the faint smell of meat in the main room, she was still wondering, tomorrow is the New Year, why did Widow Jiang cook meat today.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and there were three rhythmic and unhurried sounds. Because there are only two women at home on weekdays, the door of the gate is usually tethered.

Hua Ronghua thought that Widow Jiang was cooking, and she was afraid that she wouldn't have time to open the door, but when she was about to help open the door, Widow Jiang ran out of the house at a trot.

Then, Hua Ronghua heard Widow Jiang's happy voice, and there was another person's voice faintly.

After a while, I saw Widow Jiang pull a teenager in, the young man was dressed in a scholar's robe, carrying a book basket, while pulling his hand out of Widow Jiang's hand, he said helplessly: "Mother, there is a difference between men and women, don't pull it like this." ”

Widow Jiang was not annoyed when her son shook off her hand, and followed behind him with a smile, "Wen'er, my mother stewed meat for you for a while and ate more." ”

"Sister Jiang." Hua Ronghua stood at the door of his house and looked at the two people walking towards him with a smile.

"Oh, Sister Hua, this is my son Wen'er, and the academy is on vacation today." He said to Wen'er again: "Son, this is Sister Hua, you can call Aunt Hua, you are a tenant who rents in our house." ”

Wen'er came to Hua Ronghua and stood up, and gave her a serious salute, "Aunt Hua." ”

"Hello." Hua Ronghua looked at Wen'er in front of him, he looked ordinary, a little thin, not like Widow Jiang, but like his father.

"Aunt Hua, forgive me, Jiang Wenchu has to go back to rest and recuperate when he arrives at home." Wen'er apologized seriously.

"Well, no need to visit, no need to visit, everyone doesn't have to be so polite to live in a courtyard!" Hua Ronghua was taken aback, where did this little nerd come from!

Jiang Wen hesitated, looked at his mother, and Widow Jiang waved her body, "What are you visiting, it's not a gentleman from the academy, you go to dinner with me first!" As he spoke, he left with his son, and before leaving, he turned back and asked, "Why don't you come and eat something together?" ”

As soon as he heard it, it was not a sincere invitation, Hua Ronghua smiled and declined politely.
