Then she skillfully spread the garment on her legs, and after looking carefully, she began to sew and mend it.

These clothes were both male and female, obviously not hers, and were supposed to be the work of sewing and mending clothes.

He Na's mother was very skillful in sewing a piece of clothing, muttering: "A copper plate ......"

Then she began to sew the second piece, and after the second piece was sewn, she said happily: "Two copper plates, hehe, save some more, and when Nana comes back, she will be able to eat rice." ”

He Na's mother continued to sew and mend, and as the sun fell and the moonlight rose, she still had no intention of stopping.

Everyone thought she would light the oil lamp, but in fact, He Na's mother did take out the oil lamp, but in the end she still didn't light it, and muttered: "Forget it, forget it, this oil lamp is still not lit, it's too expensive." ”

Then she worked hard to use the moonlight and rely on her years of craftsmanship to sew those clothes. Although her sewing skills are very good, she still makes oops, and her fingers are pierced by needles, and drops of blood flow out.

But she didn't care, just sat there, stitch by stitch, and sometimes sang in order to make herself not too sleepy.

"Aoyama...... Holding a small tree and singing. What to sing...... It is sung that the stream flows into the stream...... Whoa...... Whoa......"

He Na stood on the side, watching all this, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.

She muttered: "This is the song my mother has sung to lull me to sleep since I was a child, and she will only sing this song." ”

Ah!

He Na's mother exclaimed, and her hand was pricked again.

He Na's mother glanced at the needle in her hand, He Na also leaned over, and then the whole person collapsed and sat on the ground.

I saw that several of her mother's fingers were full of wounds healed after needle! The little red dots were like needles piercing her hands—they hurt!

He Na couldn't stand it anymore, and pounced on her mother to stop her mother from continuing to sew and mend clothes, but was stopped by Fang Zheng.

"You let go of me! Let me go! He Na scolded angrily.

Fang Zheng was unmoved, and just asked: "Don't you want to see how your mother lives when you are not at home?" When you go out now, there are a lot of things, and you can't see them. ”

He Na was silent.

He Na's mother didn't finish sewing until two o'clock in the morning, put down what she was holding, and after a brief wash, she went to bed.

After sleeping for about two hours, He Na's mother got up.

4 o'clock seems like an early morning, but in the village, many people have already gotten up to cook.

After all, it takes time to move firewood, burn a fire, and heat a pot, even if it is a person's meal, it takes an hour to make it. Of course, He Na's mother obviously did not simply cook for herself, she boiled a large pot of boiling water, and then steamed the wild vegetable cake with boiling water, drank saliva, and began to stir the pig food while eating the cake.

It was about half past five, and the three big white pigs in the backyard were fed, and some food was sprinkled on the chickens and ducks, and the sky was almost dawn.

He Na's mother carried a basket on her back, pushed open the dilapidated wooden door and walked out of the yard, stepped on the muddy ground, and began to go from house to house to deliver sewn clothes.

I thought that if the clothes were sewn, they would definitely receive money, but many people in the village were also poor, and they sewed their own clothes, and only some clothes that they thought were precious and the fabrics were good, and they were not sure that they would sew them particularly well, so they would ask someone to sew them.

And these people, because they are poor, can only keep accounts, and then give it to He Na's mother when they have money.

Seeing that her mother had worked hard all night, and when she really got only ten copper plates, He Na cried......

She knew that her mother's life was not good, and she didn't want to come back and suffer, but she really didn't know that her mother was living so hard at home! After most of the night's hard work and scars on his hands, he could only exchange for ten copper plates in the end!

And she clearly remembered that her mother's living expenses for her were calculated according to fifteen copper plates a day!

So, where did the other five come from?

Soon, He Na had the answer.

After He Na's mother returned the clothes, she traveled through several villages and collected some clothes that needed to be mended. In the middle, he either helped people farm the land, or helped people grind, and made some extra extra money.

He Na almost watched her mother go out with her waist straight, but when she came back, she could only bend up.

It's not that she doesn't want to stand up straight, she looks more energetic and pretty, but she really can't stand up straight, she is too tired.

Seeing her mother holding her waist and putting down her back basket and walking into the tattered kitchen, kneading the live coarse noodles with the wild vegetables picked on the road to make wild vegetable cakes, He Na burst into tears and knelt on the ground crying.

At this moment, she finally stopped caring about the brand-name luxury goods on her body, she knelt on the ground and cried, shouting: "Mother, don't eat it...... Don't eat it! Don't eat it, you can rest! ”

It's a pity that He Na's mother couldn't hear or see her at all, she still held her waist and cooked, although she moaned in pain from time to time, she was still smiling, and muttered from time to time: "In two months and twenty-one days, Nana will be back." I don't know if she's doing well in the city. I'd love to see her...... Forget it, I'm past this appearance, and I'll only embarrass her. ”

He Na's mother laughed at herself, and then took a bite of the hot cake.

At this time, Fang Zheng walked over, and while He Na's mother was looking outside, he secretly broke off a piece and divided it into three parts.

Fang Zheng didn't say anything, and just stuffed it into his mouth.

Fang Zheng couldn't tell what kind of strange smell the combination of wild vegetables and coarse noodles was, he remembered that he had only smelled a similar smell when he was a child, when the village was planting pig food.

It's a little sour, a little nauseous, and most importantly it's really hard to swallow.

When I swallowed, it was as if I had swallowed a handful of dirt mixed with glass shards, dry and panicked......

Bai Yuexiang said with a painful face: "Dogs don't eat this thing, right?" ”

Fang Zheng handed the third piece to He Na: "Haven't you eaten it?" Try? ”

He Na took it, put it in her mouth, and then retched with a bang, and just as she was about to spit it out, she closed her mouth violently and took the cake in her mouth.

This really surprised Fang Zheng......

He Na cried and ate the cake, feeling the feeling of a thousand cuts across her throat, and she cried even more.

Fang Zheng said: "Is face really so important?" It's not the money you earn by your own ability, even if you are covered in gold, what about it? Who can afford you?

If you really want to save face, there is only one way out.

Study hard, crush everyone with your grades, and then use your strength to jump over the dragon gate and take the whole family to turn over completely.

Otherwise, you're just an after-dinner joke of those who look down on you. ”
