Chapter 272: Make a Doll
"It's getting harder and harder." Chen He poked Miaozi's forehead with his finger.
"Ouch, it hurts." Miao Zi covered his forehead and pretended to scream,
Chen He glanced at her, didn't bother to pay attention to her, broke her hand and turned around and walked towards the main hall.
Zhou Yiran, who was watching from the side, laughed, then grabbed Miaozi's shoulders and whispered in her ear.
"Tell me honestly, did you go to find Chen Dong?" The only person Miao Zi cares about is Chen Dong, this girl went out to find Chen Dong, she really couldn't think of where Miao Zi would go.
Miao Zi knew that she couldn't hide it from her aunt, so she nodded, and then whispered to her aunt, "Auntie, don't tell my mother." β
"It's okay not to tell me, but you'll have to give me some hush money." Zhou Yiran smiled evilly.
Miao Zi's facial features wrinkled together and looked at her: "Auntie, people are still children, and they don't have any silver." β
Zhou Yiran saw that she was still serious, pinched her nose, and then walked directly to the main hall and left her behind.
Miaozi rubbed her nose, she was very worried, she was afraid that her aunt would tell her mother about it.
The mother was very disgusted with Chen Dong, as long as the name was mentioned, the mother changed her face.
She knew that her mother didn't really hate Chen Dong, but she just disliked Chen Dong for being poor, fatherless and motherless, and worried that if she really joined Chen Dong in the future, she would be guilty.
Miao Zi dragged into the main hall and looked at the food on the table, she recognized at a glance that it was not the food made by her mother and aunt.
"You all go down and eat." Zhou Yiran said to the three subordinates.
"Yes, ma'am." All three exited the room at the same time and went to the kitchen.
Let them stand here and watch, she can't even eat comfortably.
β¦β¦
After the meal, the three of them sat in the courtyard to watch the starry sky and chat.
After sitting for a while, go wash up and go to bed.
The next morning, Chen He got up early.
She was just about to sweep the floor with a broom, when Qingzhu ran over and grabbed the broom first.
"Slaves and maids come and sweep."
Chen He looked at Qingzhu, frowned slightly, then gave up and turned around to go to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Peach saw her come in, slightly blessed.
Chen He looked at her, sighed, and turned to leave the kitchen.
Too unaccustomed to it, Chen He frowned and walked to the front yard.
Miao Zi got up, came out of the room, and looked at her mother standing in the yard with a frown, and she walked over.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Chen He looked at his daughter and shook his head: "It's okay." β
As soon as she finished speaking, the door to the east wing opened.
Zhou Yiran walked out of the house.
Qingzhu saw her come out, put down the broom and immediately went to serve toiletry.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, it's just a little unaccustomed." Chen He said.
"Oh, I'll get used to it after a while."
Chen He nodded.

After breakfast, the three of them went out together and went to the cloth mill.
The shopkeeper of the Chen family cloth workshop saw that they came early in the morning and looked at them in surprise.
"Why did Mrs. Zhang come early in the morning?"
"What? Isn't it good to take care of your business? Zhou Yiran raised her eyebrows.
"How so." The shopkeeper laughed, then asked, "I don't know what I want to buy." β
Chen He didn't say anything, she didn't know what to buy at all, so it was up to Xiaoran.
Zhou Yiran turned around and walked over to look at the cloth, pointed to several colors of cloth and said, "These." β
The shopkeeper looked at the cloth she was pointing to, walked over and asked, "All of them?" β
"Hmm." Zhou Yiran nodded.
Chen He came over, tugged at her sleeve, and said, "Won't this be too much, let's buy some and try it first." β
"It's going to be used anyway, it's fine."
The shopkeeper looked at them and asked curiously, "I don't know what Mrs. Zhang wants to do?" β
Zhou Yiran looked at the shopkeeper and smiled at her.
"Nothing." After finishing speaking, he asked the shopkeeper, "Is there any cotton for sale?" β
"Yes." The shopkeeper turned his head, "You go and get the cotton out." β
Zhou Yiran didn't say anything, the shopkeeper didn't give up, and the set was almost up.
"How can it be nothing, just look at the way you look and know what you want to do secretly."
"Since it's a secret matter, how can you tell the shopkeeper?" Zhou Yiran said with a smile.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he wanted to slap himself and say something secret, but now he picked up a stone and smashed his foot.
Seeing that the shopkeeper stopped talking, she laughed.
"Maybe we'll have a deal soon."
When the shopkeeper heard what she said, his eyes lit up, and the smile on his face became even bigger.
"Looking forward to making a deal with you."
Chen He was a little puzzled, and he didn't know what they were talking about.
After buying cotton and cloth, they went back.
Back at home, Chen He couldn't wait to ask her about the doll's practice.
Zhou Yiran first drew pictures, and then taught Chen He how to do it, and Miao Zi kept watching from the side, listening to her aunt's words very carefully.
Just when the two of them ignored her, Miao Zi stretched out a finished product in front of Zhou Yiran.
"Auntie, is that so?"
Zhou Yiran looked at the twenty or thirty centimeter-long doll in front of her, her eyes lit up, and she took the doll from Miaozi's hand.
"That's it, but it's better to hide the seams here, so it looks better." She didn't expect Miao Zi to leave like this, and she was even faster than her mother.
Chen He was also shocked by his daughter, and reached out to take the doll from Zhou Yiran's hand.
"This is the bear doll?"
"Yes, this is a bear doll, although it is not very standardized, but the appearance is there, and you can master the skills by doing a few more." Zhou Yiran said and brought the doll over to Miaozi, "You can play with this, if you want to sell it for money, this kind of thing is not good." β
When Chen He heard this, he felt a pity and felt sorry for the money.
"Sister-in-law, you do it with Miaozi, if it's not good, we can sell it at a low point, in short, we won't lose money."
Chen He was relieved when she heard this, but she still had doubts in her heart.
"Will anyone really buy this?" Chen He felt that this thing could not be eaten or used, and it would not be a waste of money to buy this.
However, she overlooked one point, and that was the rich people. Rich people don't care about a little money, and this kind of novelty will definitely spend money to buy it and play it at home.
"There will be people who will buy it, even if we can't sell it, we can sell it to others, in short, it won't be impossible to sell." She believes that Chen Menghui will find a way to sell it.
But this time she wanted to try it herself, and if she could, she could do business with Chen Menghui at that time. As long as the business is done, you won't have to worry about running out of money in the future.
A day passed, Miao Zi and Chen He made a lot of dolls, all of which were twenty or thirty centimeters long.
Of course, the doll is not only a bear, she also drew a picture of Mickey Mouse. There are only these two first, but in the future, you will have to make money by selling pictures, so you have to save a little.
For the rest of the rags, she asked the seedlings to make small flower bows, and then decorated the dolls.
Qingzhu watched from the sidelines, thinking that these dolls were good-looking and wanted one, but she knew that it was impossible.
Miao Zi sewed the last stitch, tied the knot, and then held the doll that looked like Mickey Mouse.
"Auntie, I really want to sleep with it."
"These are to be sold for money." Chen He reminded her daughter.
Miao Zi was very reluctant, but it was still important to make money, so he nodded and said, "I know." β
"Okay, that's it for today, tomorrow is the time for the market, let's go set up a stall."
Speaking of setting up a stall, Chen He frowned and asked her, "Where do we put it?" β
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I've already found a good position, just go over tomorrow."
After listening to her words, Chen He was relieved, got up and moved his body.
"Alright, wash up and go to bed."
"Well, Miaozi, you take these to your house and allow you to sleep with them for the night." Zhou Yiran said this when she saw that Miao Zi couldn't put it down.
Miao Zi was very happy to hear this, and immediately took the doll back to the room and ran back and forth several times.
Chen He couldn't help but laugh when he looked at her like this.
"This kid."
"It's nature, and every child sees something they like." She laughs.
"Well, okay, you can wash and sleep! You're pregnant now, you need to rest early. Chen He said to her.
Zhou Yiran nodded, and then went back to the room with Qingzhu.
Qingzhu is a careful person, Zhou Yiran asked her to wait closely, as for that month, she was a little clever in doing things, she didn't like it, so she chose Qingzhu.
β¦β¦
At dawn the next day, Zhou Yiran woke up and opened the door to see that Chen He had gotten up.
When Chen He saw her get up, he turned around and went to look at Miaozi's door.
"Miaozi, get up."
The seedlings in the house felt that they couldn't open their eyes, they had a lot of fun playing with dolls last night, and they hadn't slept enough at this time.
But the knocking on the door kept coming, and she had to get up and open the door.
The door opened, and Chen He knew that she slept late last night when she looked at her daughter.
"Mother." Miao Zi squinted her eyes and shouted.
"Hurry up and put on your clothes and go out to sell dolls." Chen He pulled her daughter over and got dressed.
As soon as Miao Zi heard that he was going to sell dolls, his eyes immediately opened, and then he rubbed his eyes, and then he woke up.
Zhou Yiran was washing, and after washing, the seedlings came out.
Qingzhu brought another basin of water to Miaozi's mother and daughter to wash.
"Tell RosΓ© that we don't have to make breakfast." Zhou Yiran said to Qingzhu.
"Yes, ma'am." Qingzhu answered, and then asked, "Does the slave want to go with Madame?" β
"No, you don't."
Qingzhu nodded, then turned to look for Peach.
"Auntie, will you take all the dolls?" The washed seedlings ran over and asked.
"No, we'll just take six." Yesterday she made almost fifteen of them, and as for why she took six, she wanted to please a good omen.
"Then I'll pick the best and sell it." After Miaozi finished speaking, she ran back to her room.
Chen He washed up and went to Miaozi's room, and then came out with Miaozi.
She took four in her hand, and Miaozi took two.
And just like that, the three of them went out into the street.
"Let's go get something to eat first."
Chen He nodded.
This time, she found a place with a lot of traffic to have breakfast.
"Mother, I want that." A little girl pointed to Mickey Mouse in Miaozi's hand and said.
The woman holding the little girl looked along her daughter's hand and saw the rag doll in Miaozi's hand at a glance.
The doll that I had never seen before, thought that it must be very expensive, so I shook my head at my daughter.
"That's not fun, my mother will buy you something delicious." When the woman had finished speaking, she took her daughter and walked away.
But the child's eyes never took off the doll, and it was clear from her eyes that she wanted it very much.
