In the next few days, Lao Li's family was so busy that they couldn't touch the ground.

The charcoal trade could not be stopped, so Li San could only lead the villagers up the mountain to cut wood every day.

At the same time, you have to pay attention to the villagers who are hired to cut bamboo.

Home.

The second elder was busy weaving snowshoes in his house.

The old man used to be a craftsman, but at this age, he can still do the work he is good at, and he feels like he is back to his youth.

The hands are non-stop, and the smile on the face is even bigger.

The old lady laid hands on the side, and the two old men reminisced about their young years together.

Xu, Zhu and Xiao Wu sat around the house and made a cushion for the new daughter-in-law.

As soon as Li got up in the morning, he began to fight the table and the chairs.

Li Er and Li Si directly put a layer of new paste on the wall of the new house from the inside out.

Even the little babies didn't go to learn literacy today, and they helped out together at home.

Niuniu followed Li San up the mountain to see the trap in the morning.

Lin Tao watched Li Er and Li Si busy with their work.

She hadn't forgotten what Wang Qiuyue had said before.

In order not to make Gong Qiqi feel uncomfortable, she lined up the new house in the west house of the second child's house.

Now the Zhu family and the Xu family live in the east house, the eldest and second and fourth live in the east row house, and the fifth and Niu Niu live in the ear room next to the west house.

Although it is a little crowded, the next time I go to Xu Deren's, the house in the town should be settled.

When the time comes, this big family will be able to live more spaciously.

When Niuniu came down from the mountain in the afternoon, the basket on Li San's back was filled with a basket full of hares.

Xiao Nizi took them out one by one, and the other babies counted in unison: "Two, three, four...... Seventeen, eighteen! ”

Then the dolls all rushed over and hugged her and shouted, "Let's eat roast rabbit today!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Is it good to have one for each person today? ”

Lin Tao answered, and a group of dolls jumped and jumped and ran away with cheers.

Zhou Xiaohe walked towards her with something in his arms.

"Godmother, the shoes and rabbit wool are ready."

Lin Tao went up to help pick it up, and entered the hall together.

Looking at a pair of snow boots, Lin Tao nodded with satisfaction: "Your craftsmanship is really amazing, it's so beautiful." ”

It's really beautiful, much more refined than what she made herself.

The direction of each splicing piece of hair is deliberately arranged, unlike what she did herself, which is so unrestrained and casual.

The dolls' small shoes are also decorated with rabbit paws.

Reaching out and touching it, the bottom is very thick, and you can't feel the needle and thread at all.

When you press it, the soles are still soft and comfortable.

"Is there something underneath? It looks much softer than a thick cloth base. Lin Tao asked.

Zhou Xiaohe said timidly: "Yes, my daughter thought that the children would wear it, and it would be softer and warmer, so she put some unused rabbit fur in the bottom." And for you and grandpa, I also put rabbit fur. ”

"I have a heart." She was very satisfied and patted Zhou Xiaohe's hand.

"Godmother, what do you want me to weave this thread for? If you spin the fabric, it seems to be too coarse. ”

"You wait." Lin Tao got up, went into the inner room, and took out two woolen rods from the closet.

At this time, people weaving cloth will only use looms.

She came out with two thin woolen rods, and Zhou Xiaohe's eyes were full of question marks.

Lin Tao didn't explain too much, took a ball of wool and began to needle.

Then she used the simplest flat needle.

After a while, a small piece of 'cloth' with a half-palm block hung from the yarn stick.

"Wow! It's amazing! When I was a child, my mother's loom was a big one, but I didn't expect that two sticks could weave cloth. ”

"This ...... It's called yarn. ”

After speaking, he began to teach Zhou Xiaohe how to weave wool.

She didn't really want to knit a sweater or anything, she just wanted to knit half-palm gloves for her family.

lest he be like Zhu, who has chilblains on his hands, and his hands are swollen like bear's paws.

The damage of a chilblain opponent is much more than what it looks like is inflexible.

For a long time with chilblains, the joints of the fingers may be deformed. It not only affects the aesthetics, but also affects the holding of the pen.

I have to say that Zhou Xiaohe's hands-on ability is really strong.

She only taught it once, and Zhou Xiaohe did a good job.

Lin Tao briefly talked about the gloves he wanted to knit.

"Remember, you must measure the palm of your hand to weave. When it comes to the root of the finger, it also scores the needle. ”

Zhou Xiaohe, who was interested, kept nodding his hand all the time.

The following week, the family was even busier.

Especially Zhou Xiaohe, who taught the girls who came to learn embroidery, still held two woolen rods in their hands. Guarding other people's embroidery work, she quickly knitted gloves.

At noon, the girls went home for dinner, and she came back to help the Xu family embroider things.

For several days in a row, when it was time to sleep, Lin Tao also saw the fire in Zhou Xiaohe's house.

In order to prevent Zhou Xiaohe from damaging her eyes, she also deliberately said a few words to Zhou Xiaohe.

Fortunately, Xiaohe, the girl, took her words seriously.

No more all-nighter glove knitting at night.

Finally came the day of Li San's marriage.

Lao Li's family got up in the middle of the night to prepare.

After taking care of the family, it is also the auspicious time agreed by the two families.

As a mother-in-law, Lin Tao can only sit at home.

The three brothers accompanied Li San to Gong's house to pick up people.

Before going out, Lin Tao handed over a bag of copper coins to Li Si.

"Fourth, the people you meet on the road, as long as you congratulate you, you will give six happy money. Uncle Gong thinks about your brothers, and is reluctant to spend our family's money, but we can't really spend nothing, so we marry the girl into the door. ”

Li Sile patted the money bag: "Yes!" I will definitely give the third brother and Uncle Gong a good face. ”

The four brothers just went out.

The road to Gong's house is not far, but you can see the lively people, which is called more than one.

It is estimated that the whole village has gathered around to see the excitement.

"Congratulations to Village Chief Li for having a beautiful woman." Someone gave it up.

"Thank you." Li San's face was paralyzed, and he rarely smiled.

"Come on, come on, borrow your auspicious words, thank you for this little money." Li Si stuffed six dollars out.

The man was even more happy, holding the money in his hand, and congratulating Li San again.

For a while, many congratulatory voices rang out.

Li San said thank you all the way, and Li Si gave him happy money all the way.

The atmosphere was suddenly boiling.

The sound of congratulations, like firecrackers, resounded throughout Gongjiazhai.

Here, Li Si's hand handing over the money was suddenly grabbed.

"Fourth brother."

Li Simeng withdrew his hand and looked at Gong Qiao'er in front of him awkwardly.

Anyone can see that Gong Qiaoer is carefully dressed.

But now Gong Qiao'er is not like that in his eyes.

"Fourth brother, you said that you would be tricky, have you forgotten?" Gong Qiao'er lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes.

The congratulatory sound just now disappeared suddenly.

Counting pairs of eyes, looking at the two of them in unison.

Li Yi whispered in his ear: "Today is the happy day of our family's three children, don't make a bad mistake." ”

"Big brother, you have to testify to me. If something happens, it really has nothing to do with me! It's obvious that she's looking for trouble! Li Si unconsciously stepped back and retreated.

Gong Qiao'er sniffed and raised her head.

"Fourth brother, if you fulfill your marriage contract with me today, or I will hang a rope on this big tree. Today next year is not only the wedding day of your third brother's wedding, but also the death day of my Gong Qiaoer! ”

There was a lot of discussion among the people next to him.

"Gong Qiao'er is too ruthless! Forced marriage is forced to die? ”

"Lao Li's family is so rich, let alone Gong Qiao'er, who doesn't want to play once? If you really want to marry into the Li family, sixty taels of silver, your mother's family can't spend it all your life! ”

"But when a man marries a woman, you have to love me! The twisted melon is not sweet! ”

"The twisted melon may not be sweet, but it quenches your thirst!"

The crowd gave a thumbs up.
