The two brothers who have not spoken, Jian Muyou's brain flashed, he was just helping the family with farm work at home, and there were no other errands.

The younger brother makes bricks in the kiln factory, which is also very hard, and the elder sister can find them an errand in the house, and their brother can protect his sister while also earning some extra money.

"Sister, can you ask Steward Xie to get a job for my brother?"

"Ahh My sister just came back, and on the side of the young master, my sister didn't know what errands were suitable for my younger brother. ”

"Sister, you can do coolie work, such as driving a carriage and building a house, and my younger brother can do it."

Another Jian Fuyou listened to his brother's words and felt that his work in the kiln factory was so hard, and he didn't make any money, so he had to make money to marry his daughter-in-law.

The main thing is to be able to protect them by my sister's side, as my brother said.

"Sister, can you have an errand, you can ask Steward Xie when you go back in two days, and then let someone have a message."

Meihua thought for a while and nodded: "I heard that we are still recruiting workers, recruiting coolies to build houses, our housemother's house, we are going to build the house in the next two days, and I heard that the wages given are very high." ”

"Oh, sister, this is so good, let's go together tomorrow!"

Jian Mu can't wait for the New Year.

"Second brother, you just got married?"

"It's okay, just for a few days, and then we'll do it after the New Year, we also want to get familiar with the environment and see where you live, sister."

The rest of the family nodded, feeling that Jian Mu was right.

The new daughter-in-law's mouth moved, she and her husband had just gotten married, and she was really a little reluctant.

"I went to the kiln factory to work for an afternoon in the afternoon, and then asked the owner for leave, saying that I was going to go home for the New Year and quit, and I would go to Liang's house with my brother tomorrow."

Grandpa Jian was reluctant to go back to the Liang Mansion so early.

Two days off, then stay at home for two days to replenish the body, the old man is distressed to see his granddaughter so thin.

"I think you brothers can go together tomorrow morning, the big girl can stay at home for one more day, you can go directly to the steward."

"Yes, that's it." Jian Muyou felt that it was no longer a busy farm, he was idle these days, and he was just getting married not to earn more money to support his family.

felt that their brother could earn a little more money and share it with the family, so the eldest sister didn't have to take care of the family.

And the plum blossom came out of her baggage, a handkerchief made of silk, a leather band to tie her hair, and a silver hairpin, a silver bracelet, a silver ring, a jade pendant, and a jade bracelet on her wife.

There are also a pair of gold earrings and a few pieces of fabric for the family to make clothes.

"Wow"

The family was dumbfounded, this time they never thought that Plum Blossom would give gifts to everyone when they came back.

The two brothers have jade pendants, grandfather and father also have jade pendants, grandma has silver bracelets, and mother has jade bracelets.

The little sister got a silver hairpin, and the silver ring plum blossom was given to the new daughter-in-law as a gift.

Meihua also wanted to give the gold earrings to her brother and daughter-in-law, and the family persuaded her to keep them herself, and these things were all wanted to be given to her by Mrs. Xiang.

The new daughter-in-law got the ring, thinking that she would be able to get the gold earrings, and she was happy to come in and get two gifts.

Hearing that the family persuaded the eldest sister-in-law not to give gold earrings to others, her heart was a little unhappy all of a sudden, and she lowered her head and silently did not express it.

Plum put away the gold earrings and gave them to his family with ribbons that he had made of silk scraps to tie the hair of men and women.

They also gave the cloth for making clothes to the family, and each member of the family got a piece of cloth for making clothes, and the family had new clothes to wear on this New Year, which was much better than the coarse cloth they usually bought.

It's the kind of silk that the rich people bought.

The new daughter-in-law also got a piece of fabric, and she touched it with her hand and became happy again.

Growing so big, she hadn't worn clothes of such good fabric.

The new daughter-in-law got this piece of fabric was given to Meihua by the young lady to make her new clothes.

This time back in the house, wearing the maid's new clothes, Meihua was reluctant to make clothes for herself, and brought all the fabrics back home.

Seeing that his family was so happy at this moment, he also laughed, all these years of suffering have passed, and his life will get better and better in the future.

As long as she can see her family every once in a while, she is already satisfied.

The family sat and chatted for a while, and the family members, who were going to work in the afternoon, began to prepare to go out to work.

Jian Fuyou had eaten a full meal, washed his hands, and wanted to sit and talk to his sister a little more, but he thought that he would work for half a day this afternoon, and he would get his salary and start taking annual leave.

Put the jade pendant in the room, and give the fabric to the grandmother to make clothes for him, some of the tall and thin young people who were reluctant to get out of the house, and the clothes that made mud were all mud.

Meihua's parents and Jian Muyou, after eating and talking for a while, put the gifts in the house and went to the vegetable field to dig potatoes and sweet potatoes.

During the meal just now, Jian Muyou told his parents that some uncles and aunts in the village dug potatoes and sweet potatoes to sell in the county seat, and they were sold out in an hour or two.

Jane's parents thought that this idea would work, the sweet potatoes and potatoes in their field had not yet been sold, and if they were sold before the year, they could also add a little food to the family.

In this season in the south, where the water source is good, as long as you are diligent, you can grow crops all year round, and you can eat and dress without eating wild vegetables.

Unless there is a war or chaos, or natural and man-made disasters, the average farmer can have enough to eat.

Some people can also cultivate some cassava, and they can also grow crops in the mountains, remove weeds and fertilizer, and have a harvest without much management.

In the afternoon, Meihua and her grandmother, new daughter-in-law, and little sister do needlework together.

"Wow, sister, your needlework is so good, sister, the embroidered flowers you embroider are so beautiful, can you teach me?"

When the little girl began to learn embroidery and make needlework, many women were at home, making clothes and small things for their families, and people with good handiwork would make them and sell them.

There are even girls from other families who go to be embroiderers, and then after they get married, they also sell them to add some living expenses to the family.

"My job is far worse than others, sister, this is also no way, I went to school in the mountains."

Plum Blossom remembered that their clothes were rotten and had to be patched, and she was only ten years old at the time, and she had only learned a little stitching.

Once the nun asked her to embroider a handkerchief, and she embroidered a flower crookedly, and then the nun beat her.

After that, she learned to be smart, and there were many wild flowers on the mountain, especially plum blossoms and peach blossoms, and he could pick flowers and put them on the handkerchief to be embroidered one by one, and slowly learned to embroider flowers.

Little by little, she learned other things, and when she grew up, the nun stopped beating her.

It's just that in terms of food, I always starve her and Miss, think of the days when I was hungry and sleepy, and hear Miss crying and can't sleep at night.

The miserable past was like a nightmare.

"Sister-in-law, teach me embroidery!"

The new daughter-in-law looked at the work done by her sister-in-law, and looked at the needlework she did a little ashamed, she was also a woman of about the same age, and she was far behind in needlework.
