That contemptuous attitude made Hua Ronghua hate to slap him, but after thinking about it, he endured it, he had no chance of winning alone.

Picking up the money one by one, Hua Ronghua finally looked at the shopkeeper who was watching coldly, and scolded loudly, "Profiteer!" Then he ran out before the shopkeeper's face changed.

After running out for a while, Hua Ronghua's mood calmed down, holding the seventy wen in his purse, thinking about whether to return it to Gongxi Chu first, or to return the two hundred wen to him together.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Gongxi Chu walking towards him in front of him, and Mo An followed behind him and didn't know what he was talking about.

Hua Ronghua smiled, it's better not to be in debt when the New Year is approaching, so he greeted him when he thought about it, "Gong ......"

Who knew that Gong Xichu didn't seem to see her, and walked directly past her! Mo An next to her looked at her strangely, and hurriedly followed behind the master.

Hua Ronghua stood in place for at least half a minute, and then came back to his senses and saw the surprised eyes of the passers-by next to him, and couldn't help but hate and shame, "Something!" He scolded in a low voice and hurried back to Jiang's house.

At this point, Hua Ronghua settled down with Widow Jiang. It's just that people who are usually used to clothes to reach out for food and open their mouths suddenly have to cook by themselves, and they can't help but be a little busy for a while.

At night, Hua Ronghua lay on the hot kang and thought, it was really difficult to go from luxury to frugality! When she makes a fortune, she will find someone to serve her! Alas, money, when will she get rich?

Hua Ronghua stayed in his new home for two days, and when he was ready, he planned to go to Buzhuang to have a look, always looking for some income to make some money, and he couldn't sit and eat empty!

"Sister Jiang, I'll go out for a while." In the past two days, Hua Ronghua and this Jiang Widow got along well, and the two of them talked together when they were fine, and Widow Jiang gave people a very enthusiastic feeling and was a cool person.

"Where is Sister Hua going?" Widow Jiang came out of her room and asked casually.

"I want to pick up some female celebrity work and come back." Hua Ronghua didn't hide it from her.

"Yes, if my sister had this skill, she would always be able to eat enough, and save herself from being a domestic servant and listening to others." Widow Jiang said happily: "You wait for me, I'll go around too." ”

Hua Ronghua is funny, I can't imagine that this Sister Jiang has already begun to worry about her hunger!

When Widow Jiang came out, the two locked the door and walked to the market, Hua Ronghua couldn't help but ask curiously, "Does Sister Jiang also make a female celebrity?" ”

"Do it, it's a pity that I'm not very good at embroidery, I earn less, and I usually help people make some money by pulpping and washing, and now it's cold and close to the year of pulp washing, and then I rent a house outside." Widow Jiang looked at Hua Ronghua and smiled, "Speaking of which, Sister Hua is still my God of Wealth!" ”

"It's not easy for everyone." Hua Ronghua said with emotion.

"It's not easy, my son left my family when he was six years old, and I was left alone to pull a child and have no one to help, thanks to the child's father left us some property before leaving, so that we don't starve to death! But this child is getting older day by day, and there are more places to spend money! ”

Hua Ronghua asked strangely, "Sister Jiang, why didn't I see your son?" ”

"I went to the school, ate and lived in the school, and it is estimated that there will be a holiday in a few days. That kid is only eleven heads before he is about to catch up with me, he looks like my mother's family, he is very handsome, and he is also good at learning, and Mr. said that he will be able to end in another year. Speaking of her son, Widow Jiang smiled very proudly.

"That's good." Hua Ronghua coped and pointed to the front, "It's here, it's that house." ”

Hua Ronghua came to the ready-to-wear shop on West Street that he came to, which sells both cloth and ready-to-wear and collects women's red work.

Widow Jiang looked at this shop and said, "I always go to Hua Ji on the other side of East Street, and I give a higher article than here." ”

Just kidding, Master Hua is dead, and she and Sister-in-law Hua are so stiff, so she shouldn't go back and be looked down upon!

Hua Ronghua just smiled and didn't answer Widow Jiang's words, and raised his feet into the shop.

Seeing this, Widow Jiang didn't say anything anymore, anyway, she had already reminded her, and Sister Hua didn't care about the penny, and she couldn't help it.

Approaching the end of the year, there were quite a lot of people in the shop, and the two stood on the side for a long time before Xiao Er came to say hello.

"The two ladies look at it casually, do you want to buy fabrics or clothes?" Xiao Er asked with a smile.

Hua Ronghua was a little embarrassed, but he still asked: "That, I want to ask, do you accept female red jobs here?" ”

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that there would be someone to pick up the job under the root of the year, and then said with a smile: "Yes, if you two want to be female celebrities, come here." ”

led Hua Ronghua and the others to a corner with fewer people, Xiao Er directly took out a few purses, "The two pennies that are not embroidered in the purse, the eight pennies of this kind of embroidery, if the embroidery is good, add money, and if the embroidery is not good, the money will be deducted." ”

"So much money?" Hua Ronghua took a purse and looked at it, feeling that the embroidery was very ordinary, and the craftsmanship of the original owner was far behind, "In addition to the purse, do you also accept other female red work?" ”

Xiao Er smiled and said: "This is natural, if you don't embroider, such a small purse, a few stitches will be over." Other women's red jobs are also collected, and the quality of the handkerchief, screen, clothes, and the fineness of the material is not the same as the price is not the same. But it's coming soon, and you can't finish embroidering the large pieces, these purses are just someone who wants them urgently, and if you want to take them, you can send them back before twenty-two. ”

Hua Ronghua thought about it, indeed, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and she can't finish embroidering large pieces, and she doesn't dare to guarantee whether she can give full play to her female red skills.

"Then I'll embroider the purse! How many? How much does it cost? Hua Ronghua asked after making a decision.

"Eight cents for one, all made into such a big one, make a hundred." The shopkeeper paused and said: "But you have to pay for the fabric and embroidery thread for this purse, and you can't take credit in the shop!" ”

I can't think of making money, I have to advance money first, think about it carefully, what if I roll up the material and escape? Then he nodded.

The shopkeeper took Hua Ronghua a big red coarse silk with dark patterns of ingots, "These are more than three feet, enough for you to make a hundred purses." ”

"Where do you need so much cloth? You wouldn't mean to pull that much, would you? Widow Jiang couldn't help muttering.

It was all ripped off, Hua Ronghua was too lazy to care, so he simply picked out some embroidery threads and a set of needles of different sizes and models, and asked directly how much.

Xiao Er's mental arithmetic is very powerful, and he will come as soon as he opens his mouth, "...... There are a total of 381 texts, and you can give 380 texts. ”

Hua Ronghua gasped, hiss, it's so expensive! Before I could make any money, I spent nearly half of it first! But that also had to be bought, handing over a piece and a half of silver to Xiao Er and waiting for Xiao Er to give change, at this time, she saw several older women gathered around to pick something.

"What's that?" Hua Ronghua asked the little two who sent the money.

"That's the rag head of our store, this lady can pick it up if she wants, and I'll give you a cheaper."

Hua Ronghua didn't want to pick one, so he walked two steps and came back, and said with a smile: "I'll pick some too, maybe I can use it when I can." ”

Seeing this, Widow Jiang also followed over to pick up, "I'll pick some too, touch the big ones, and it's okay to keep the shoes with a partition." ”

In the end, the two of them picked up a large bag of rags.

Xiao Er saw that Hua Ronghua bought a lot, so he simply charged only five cents per person.

While wrapping the rag head with the rags borrowed from the store, Widow Jiang said happily: "Next time, there will be such good goods for us to keep!" ”

"This is just in time for the end of the year, otherwise how can there be so many such big rag heads? But the rag head is gone, and some scraps of skin, do you want it? ”

"What shredded skin?" Hua Ronghua asked with interest.

"These skins came from the north, and my shopkeeper made a batch of boots from them, and they sold very well. It's just that the biggest of the remaining broken skins is not as big as a palm, and you can't do anything, so you can keep pressing it, just give the money if you want. ”

Hua Ronghua carefully looked at the broken skin in Xiao Er's baggage, it was indeed very broken, and she couldn't even sew it up to make an insoles, but she was really reluctant to touch the soft and warm fur, and finally bargained and spent two pennies to buy the thing.

"What are you buying these shredded skins for? Isn't it a blind spending? Widow Jiang muttered.

"It's not much anyway." In fact, Hua Ronghua didn't think about what to do with these broken skins.

Widow Jiang choked, why didn't she see that this sister Hua was actually a rich lord!

Hua Ronghua also felt that what he said just now was a bit blunt, so he asked, "That, Sister Jiang, do you still have anything to buy?" ”

"It's gone. Some New Year's goods or something, you have to wait for Wen'er to come back and buy them, although he is younger, but after all, he is the head of the family! Widow Jiang was faintly proud, "What about Sister Hua?" What are you going to do for the Chinese New Year? Or will you live with us? ”

Hua Ronghua heard that she was just a kind word, and it was really awkward to let her celebrate the New Year with someone she had known for a few days, so she refused: "No, the New Year is a day of family reunion, what kind of fun I have with you, it's just a dumpling and a vigil, and I'll do it myself." ”

Widow Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to have some regret and said, "Oh, you are really, I am still thinking about the two of us chatting well!" Then he said cheerfully: "Okay, when you have anything, just call me." ”

When the two arrived home, Hua Ronghua took out the rag head from the red silk cloth and wrapped it again with his old furoshiro, and then took out a larger rag from it and began to study how to make the purse.

In addition to her fingers, she can't keep up with her thinking, that is, her left shoulder is a little weak, but fortunately, she mainly uses her right hand, and her left hand is to help hold something, and the problem is not big.

I took the purse given by the shopkeeper and cut it twice, and then I barely planted the shape of the purse, and then took a medium-sized needle and began to suture it.

In the afternoon, after Hua Ronghua poked her fingers countless times, she was finally able to stitch smoothly, but the needle size was still a little big.

Looking at the dark sky outside, Hua Ronghua rubbed his neck and closed his eyes to let himself rest. This thing looks simple, and I know what to do in my head, but I really know what it means to be a good eye!

Hua Ronghua came out to get firewood to burn the kang, and just happened to run into Widow Jiang who also came out of the house just now.

"Sister Hua didn't sew this afternoon, right? I'll glue all those rags into a divider, and when they're dry, I'll give you two to make shoes!" Widow Jiang smiled as she fetched firewood.

"Sister Jiang really doesn't need it, you forgot, I also have a lot of rags!" Hua Ronghua refused.

Widow Jiang smiled, and only said that you were polite to me, but she didn't mention the matter of sending the partition cloth again.

For two days, Hua Ronghua was stuffy in the room and competed with the purse, although the fingers were miserable, but the results were also gratifying, looking at the pink lotus flower on the green cloth purse, she almost cried with joy.

On the third day, just as she was about to plant the piece of red silk, Widow Jiang came over with a small burden.

"Ah, Sister Hua, haven't you started yet?" Widow Jiang was full of surprise, "I'm still afraid of losing to you, so I deliberately stuffed so much in the house!" The burden was opened, and there were more than a dozen purses of all kinds scattered on the kang.

Hua Ronghua's eyes were red, without such an irritation, the little confidence she just had here was almost dissipated without much effort.

Widow Jiang was really anxious for her, "You shouldn't hurry up, it's twenty-two in eight days, what should you do if you can't finish embroidering then?" ”

"I didn't do it for the past two days when I wasn't feeling well." Hua Ronghua cheekily found a reason for himself.
