Chapter 69: Embroidery
"She was brought back from outside by Sister Xiaochun's grandmother, no one knows her identity, but her embroidery is really good, these are all embroidered by her, because she is afraid of being discovered..."
Jiang Yuan smiled kindly, and already had an idea in his heart.
After settling the accounts for a few girls, she took out the fabric and needlework for making shoes again, and she bought a few silk scarves of solid mulberry silk from Pinxixi and handed them to Liu Erya, and asked her to bring them to Aunt Huazhi.
"Help me tell Aunt Huazhi that each silk scarf only needs to be embroidered with one flower, and it will be embroidered according to her ideas, if it is embroidered, I will give a silk scarf to a great unity." She packed her things and put them in Liu Erya's back basket.
Liu Erya was so excited that her face turned red, embroidering a silk scarf can get a big unity, she only makes a pair of shoes for two yuan and five, she has to make four pairs of shoes to earn a big unity.
She made a total of ten pairs this time and got twenty-five yuan, plus the shoes made by the other three sisters and the basket of mountain treasures, they came to Dayun Village this time, and they could bring back six pieces of great unity.
No, it's not all, the eldest sister also baked cakes for them, took pickles, Jiang Yuan also packed buns for them, and gave them a lot of good things, carrying a lot of things when they came, and also carrying a lot of things when they went back.
The difference is that when I came, I was nervous and didn't know if what I made would be satisfying, but when I went back, my whole heart was warm and full of hope for the future.
Jiang Yuan said that if he takes advantage of this time to earn money, he will be able to go to school next year, even if his grades can't keep up, he must be able to read and write, so that his life will not be confused.
When I returned to Shiwa Village, it was already dark, and the Liu family lived in a dilapidated house at the end of the village, and they were the poorest family in the village.
At this time, they all stood at the gate of the yard, waiting for the children to come home.
Hearing their voices talking and laughing, Liu Dagen's wife Luo Caixia hurriedly ran out.
"It's back!"
The other four adults also went out to pick up the baskets on the children's backs.
"Ouch! Why is it so heavy, what is this back! Liu Xiaogen's wife, Yang Lanhua, exclaimed as she carried the back basket of her second daughter Liu Xiaoxia.
Liu Xiaoxia, who was only 14 years old, moved his sore shoulders, and went to pick up the back basket of the fourth sister Liu Xiaodong, "Let's talk about it when we go in." ”
The family entered the hall and sat down, and the children took out the contents of the basket with their hands and feet.
"It's the bread that everyone baked."
"This is the fruit candy given by Jiang Yuan."
"And buns! Meat buns! It's delicious! ”
"It's chilblain cream! Can cure chilblains! ”
"There are also three pieces of bacon, one for each family, and Aunt Huazhi's."
"There was rice, and each of us carried a bag of rice."
"The most important thing is that we have earned money!"
Liu Erya and Liu Xiaoxia each took out the money in their pockets, Liu Erya earned a total of 60 yuan on this trip, Liu Xiaoxia was slightly less, only 50 yuan, and the price of Jiangyuan in Huazhi was high, a pair of shoes was 4 yuan, and she earned 24 yuan alone.
Luo Caixia's eyes widened, before the eldest girl and Xiaochun sent food back, asked their sisters to make shoes, saying that they could make money, they thought it was a fantasy, but they didn't expect that just a few pairs of bells and whistles really made money, and they earned a lot.
Liu Erya called her the things that Jiang Yuan asked her to help bring to Huazhi, and knelt in front of her with a "plop".
"Aunt Huazhi, I want to learn embroidery from you, real embroidery."
Huazhi is not outstanding in appearance, she is dressed in dust, but her hands are very well maintained, soft and delicate, her eyes are very bright, and it is easy to feel her sincerity when she looks at people.
"We have to learn, and we have to learn." Several other children followed suit.
Luo Caixia and Yang Lanhua glanced at each other, and didn't know what to say for a while, especially Yang Lanhua, she hated her mother's embroidery skills at the beginning, otherwise there would be no accident in her family, and her father would not die, so she resolutely refused to learn embroidery.
But now...
"It's hard to learn embroidery, can you endure the hardship?" Huazhi looked solemn, it doesn't matter when she teaches them to sew and mend and some basics, but if you want to learn real embroidery, then the requirements will definitely be different.
Liu Erya nodded desperately, "Yes!" I will definitely study hard! ”
Huazhi turned around and sat on the stool next to him, "Okay, that's what you said, serve me tea." ”
The master brought her out to raise her back then, and now she teaches her descendants embroidery skills, so that they can live a better life, which can be regarded as a reward for her.
The four parents looked complicated, watching the children pour a bowl of hot water for Huazhi alone, she took a sip of each, and took out eight yuan from the 24 yuan she had just gotten, and one child gave one, which can be regarded as a real apprentice.
In the evening, everyone went back to rest after eating together, Yang Lanhua was tossing and turning, and Liu Xiaoxia knocked on the door of the two of them.
"What's wrong?" Liu Xiaogen opened the door with his clothes on, and Yang Lanhua also sat up.
Liu Xiaoxia entered the house, holding a small cloth bag in her hand, "This is what the eldest sister secretly saved, and I want to bring it back to my mother." ”
Yang Lanhua realized what this was, her eyes turned red all of a sudden, and Liu Xiaogen was not comfortable.
There was really no way for the family to marry Xiaochun to such a family, I thought she would hate them, but I didn't want her to still remember her family, and it was not in vain to pull the family out if she had a way to make money.
The money in the cloth bag was scattered, there were twenty-three yuan and eight cents, and it could be seen that it should have been saved for a long time.
"The eldest sister asked you not to lose yourself, she is very good in the Jiang family, she doesn't have to do any work, and her clothes are washed by her brother-in-law."
She said that she understood that the family was also trying to pay off the debt... She doesn't blame you. ”
After Liu Xiaoxia finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the room, leaving Yang Lanhua holding a small cloth bag and crying silently.
At the same time, the same situation was playing out in Liu Dagen and Luo Caixia's room.
Liu Erya came out just to meet Liu Xiaoxia, the two glanced at each other, and laughed silently.
Jiang Yuan went to the county seat the next day to earn extra money, she didn't want to deal with the enthusiastic mothers-in-law and aunts in the village, so she would rather go to the county seat to hang out, and set up a small stall to sell her mother's shoes by the way.
She wholesaled some extra-thick velvet mother's shoes from Pinxixi, the price of a pair was about 27 yuan, she bought more, bargained with the merchant for a long time, and talked about the price to 24.8 yuan, and sold it outside for 27 yuan.
Jiang Yuan gave Old Man Jiang Mrs. Jiang and Uncle Jiang a pair of thick velvet shoes, as for the others, it was not within her consideration.
Jiang Sheng was even more lazy to take care of the Liu family, so Li Jing secretly came over and bought a pair for each of the two elderly people in the family with the money that he had just gotten and had not yet covered the heat.
Good afternoon, friends, and remember to vote for me.
I don't want to fall off the list.
Woo woo...
