Song Haonian went out to beg for life and was not at home, and did not come back for several months, Lily was the master of the house alone, and she wanted to know how to live, so she sat at the head of the bed and counted her own family.

Now the biggest money she has in hand is the two yuan of the old man's family renting ten acres of land, which must be saved up first and used in the future.

Moreover, the two young couples successively sold their prey or did other things to save more than 200 yuan, Song Haonian went out, Lily brought him half of it, and only kept 100 yuan by his side.

These days, a lot of furniture has been added to the house, and although the tables and stools are old, they are also strong and easy to use. For the first time, the chest of drawers was filled, and the food in it was reassuring. A nest of hens in the back of the house will lay eggs in a few days.

Next to the chicken coop is the firewood that Song Haonian repeatedly brought from the mountains, piled up into a hill, so as not to make the lily unable to live and cook after the firewood runs out.

This is all Lily's family, although it is small, it is much better than the four walls of the house when it was first worn, even the bedroom and the west side have a copper lock, and the key is worn and hung around Lily's neck with a rope.

In particular, the change of people has made the three thatched houses neat and bright, even if people who don't know each other pass by, they will feel that the thatched houses have a prosperous smell that is gradually getting better:

"At first glance, he is diligent and capable, and the hard life will not be too long. ”

Two times it was a lot of money, and Lily didn't feel at ease to put it by her side, and there was no bank to deposit money for her in these years, so she found two clay pots and put the money in two parts, one buried in a corner of the kitchen, and the other used a pickaxe to dig a pit under her bed and bury it.

She set a rule for herself that she would never use the life-saving money until she had to.

Because she was afraid that people would see that the earth had been moved in the house, she carefully leveled the ground again, so that outsiders could not see it at all. There was also an extra anti-theft measure, digging a hole in the wall near the head of the bed, putting a few stones in it, and stuffing it with straw.

If there is a burglar in the house, you will definitely choose to dig the hole in the wall first, it is not easy to find the things under the bed, and it is even more difficult to get out again. As for the furniture still hidden in the kitchen, the thief must not have imagined that even in the worst case, Lily can leave a way out for himself.

The remaining 100 dollars were locked in a chest of drawers in the kitchen and could be taken as you pleased. If it blooms, the hundred coins will not be able to pass a few days, so Lily carefully planned according to the time of Song Haonian's departure, and found that the money she could use every day was very tight.

Of course, she can also borrow money from Li Caifeng, Wang Xiaofu and others, but after getting along during this time, she has already seen that Song Haonian is a person with very strong self-esteem.

In the countryside, borrowing things is easy to say, but borrowing money is a very shameful thing, Lily has no idea of reconciling with Song Haonian, if he is a daughter-in-law and borrows money from people everywhere, when he comes back, not only will his face be disgraced, but his character will also be questioned.

When Lily was still a student, he didn't allow such a situation to happen to him, let alone in ancient times when the conditions were even worse?

If she is getting longer today, she doesn't have to go to farming, she just does some trivial things at home every day, she has to think of a way to make money, she doesn't have to make a lot, she only needs to make more than ten dollars a month, she won't be lazy and become a waste.

The mind is set, Lily took out the basket and pondered how to make a handkerchief for Xing'er, human favor waits for no one, her words have already been spoken, and it is impossible to say that she has not fulfilled it for a long time.

Find some brightly colored cotton cloth, place a square on the table, and sew up the seams, and the first handkerchief will be ready in just an hour.

Because the color, size, and shape of the rag head are carefully matched, and it looks bright and lively after completion, but it is not as dazzling as many rural people, and Lily herself is also very satisfied.

Washing the handkerchief in the water and drying it, Lily still thought about how to make a second handkerchief.

Of course, the second piece can't cut corners like the first, she took out a roll of white linen cloth from another cabinet in the chest of drawers, which Song Haonian bought for her one day at the market, only three feet, it was not enough to make clothes, and it was a waste to do something else, so she kept it.

For this reason, Song Haonian also blamed her for being too frugal and didn't know how to dress herself. Lily couldn't cry or laugh, but it was not good to go against his wishes, so he still had to find a way to use this cloth.

It is better to make a pair of insoles. In a nutshell, glue the rag head into the shape of a sole with a paste and cover it with a layer of white cloth. If you want to put some thought into it, you can use a needle and thread to tie the white cloth carefully to make it stronger and more wear-resistant.

The most time-consuming, laborious and painstaking thing is naturally to tie flowers on the white cloth. Flower insoles are not a woman's exclusive thing, and a man can wear a pair of flower insoles, which proves that the women in the family are skillful and willing to work hard for him, and they have a lot of face.

Previously, Lily used Song Haonian's straw sandals to expand the print, but it was very laborious to make insoles, if it was too late to make handkerchiefs after making insoles, she still cut a square cloth first, planning to make a handkerchief for Xing'er.

It is also easy to tie a handkerchief with flowers, and Lily learned some when she was a child, and it is not difficult to pick it up again. But she promised Xing'er to make a novel thing for her, and her tying flower skills couldn't be used, and she couldn't show any novelty.

Lily stretched the white cloth in a bamboo bandage, picked up a long strip of fire from the stove, and carefully typed the manuscript on the white cloth.

As an elementary school teacher, she learned a few musical instruments and stick figures at the teacher training, and she used to use chalk to draw flowers and animals on the blackboard at the back of the classroom, and the students loved it.

I haven't painted for a long time, but I have to revise it twice more and it will be spent, and the lily will be cut into shapes with the right color, and sewn it on the handkerchief little by little.

She had been doing needlework for a long time today, her neck was sore, and her eyes were a little flowery, so she had to put away all her tools and walk around the yard and look into the distance.

The hills in the distance are low, hazy like a bent eyebrow in the spring smoke, the weeping willows in front of the door are gradually green, and the swallows shuttle between the treetops, nesting in the mud from the river, and they are full of life.

Lily closed her eyes, looked up and felt the caress of the sun and the breeze, and felt happy for no reason.

She came to this world where there was no modern civilization and everything she was used to, but she felt that life was more enjoyable than in the previous life.

Because she was lucky enough to meet very good people.

Therefore, even if his family was surrounded by walls and had nothing, she didn't think about touching those illusory luck with leaving. She is willing to work with him to seriously manage her own little life, and get better and better.
