The Landlord And His Wife

Chapter 44: : pay back

    Liu Xuer thought about it, originally wanted to do it herself, but since the mother said so, she nodded and brought a piece of blue and blue silk ruler over: "That's good! Let's Division of labor. Mother, you should do this first. This is for the forehead wipe. I don’t have it. You do it for her often. The blue cloth is stuffed with rabbit fur in the middle. For the embroidered flowers, the craftsmanship taught by the auntie must be used.

    She asked again: "Mother, are you busy here? Because this forehead is sandwiched, it must be used in winter, so I have to do it first. But the calf hook has to be done before the spring equinox. do something..."

      Woolen cloth!"

    Liu Xuer laughed when she heard it, nodded and said, "Then I'll just cover the child with my hands, just a few... and then tie the knot and the string."

    Liu Lin was anxious after hearing this: "The hand cover is selling well, why don't you do more?"

    Liu Xuer said: "Winter is almost over, these are also prepared in case whoever wants it. Besides, it's a bit accidental to sell that hand-covered child, it is someone's shopkeeper It was sent to the grandmother of a big family. How can we have such a chance in the future... Maybe we can't sell it. It's probably past the first lunar month when the shop opened. Who would buy things like this next year? Learn to do it.”

    The willow tree nodded: "It's probably that rabbit hair is not easy to find, and there may be more ordinary cotton on the market."

    They all nodded like this, and Liu Lin also nodded to show that he understood.

      What a large counter, but always prepare more, the family is idle at the moment, prepare more, so as not to be in a hurry in front of you.

    From this day onwards, Mrs He and Liu Changgeng, who were sitting on the kang, became extraordinarily busy. In the backyard, the onions have grown a lot, and the radishes have grown small seedlings. When the radishes are planted, the rabbits can eat them, and the rabbits can produce hair when they have food. With the rabbit hair, the craftsmanship of the mother and sister do it…

    Speaking of which, it's all connected!

    In the past few days, everyone has been so busy that their feet are not touching the ground. It was agreed that the money should be returned to Liu old man. Four or five days passed, but there was no time to go.

    Liu Gao didn't know what to do and didn't come here. It was already the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. When Liu Changgeng saw that he couldn't delay it, he called Liu Shu over and asked him and Liu Xu'er to go to a meeting. Go, give the three taels of silver back to the father and the mother.

    The two came out of the house with the money and said, "Is the rabbit about to give birth? Seeing that her belly is so big, she doesn't jump around all day, and doesn't move." Willow Road.

    Liu Xuer 'ah': "Still still? Is it okay?"

    "It's alright, Dad went off the kang yesterday. I looked at it and said it's alright. It's about to give birth. I put it in a clean nest alone and wait for it to give birth." Liu Shu smiled. , very happy: "I don't know what the little rabbit will look like."

    The catkins have seen it before, the little rabbit is born like a red panda, and it is not as big as a human hand! Eyes closed, no hair all over...

    Thinking of this, she said with joy: "If only they could be born well, our rabbits would be able to cuddle too... By the way, the two smaller ones can already be raised together. ."

    "Well, I've already put it together." Liu Shu smiled, he raised those rabbits and chickens these days, and he also figured out some suitable ways to raise them.

    Liu Xuer asked again: "Brother, what are you doing with Shicheng every day these days?"

    Liu Shu scratched his head after hearing this, before laughing for a long time: "I'll learn a few more words... Otherwise, why do I keep accounts?"

    Liu Xuer suddenly thought, there must be a serious channel for this word recognition, or relying on Shicheng's teaching alone, I am afraid that it will disturb him too much, Shichengniang is not happy, and feels that it has delayed his learning In addition, the recognition of such a few words is not enough, and I have to find a teacher to learn from books.

    "Why don't we have a gentleman in our village?" Liu Xuer worried: "If only there was a gentleman, both you and the second brother will learn to read."

    The willow tree was stunned: "It must have a bunch of repairs! It's not ordinary to go to school with a gentleman..."

    Liu Xuer said: "Shuxiu is a matter of one or two taels of silver. If the business can be done, it will not be a problem... There should be in the city, right? We will definitely have the opportunity to enter the city in the future. It's a lot, think about it, you have to deliver it, and you have to buy silk thread materials or something..."

     Willow didn’t say anything after listening to it, and went to the master to learn, but I always felt that it was not realistic. I don’t know if the bundle of cultivation that the master wants is one or two taels of silver?

    The two brothers and sisters talked and came to the old house. When they entered the yard, both of them were stunned. When they saw the uncle Liu Changqi here, he was chopping firewood. Liu Changqi felt the courtyard door coming in. The man also stopped and straightened up to look, and was stunned when he saw the two of them.

    Liu Shu tugged at Liu Xuer's sleeve, and the two came to Liu Changqi and called out in unison, "Uncle!"

    Liu Changqi's face was a little embarrassed and unnatural. Hearing the two call, he smiled again, nodded and said, "You two are here? See your grandma?"

    "Well, my parents asked us to come and have a look." Willow said.

    Liu Changqi asked: "Your parents' legs are better? You..." After a pause, he asked a little embarrassedly: "Is Moriko any better?"

    The willow tree nodded again: "Senzi is all healed, my mother can get off the kang and walk around a little, my father is not good, but after the new year, I will be able to get off the kang."

    Liu Changqi nodded, then looked at Liu Xuer, who was pouting silently, sighed and touched her head, saying, "Go in."

    The willow tree led the catkins into the house, and when she reached the door, she whispered, "Uncle is pitiful."

    Liu Xuer immediately gave him a strange look, wondering where he came from? Do you think no one cares about him? That's also... It's all to blame for that vicious Ma Shi! When she thought about what happened last time, she still felt a surge of qi and blood all over her body rushing to the top of her head!

    Entering the room, Liu Gao was sitting by the bed and taking the soles of his shoes, the old man Liu was sitting on the kang smoking dry cigarettes, the whole house was filled with smoke, Liu Shu and Catkin just shouted: "Master , milk!" The two of them coughed together.

    Liu Gao hurriedly put down the soles of his shoes, hurriedly smiled and came over to pull the two of them: "Why are you two here?" Then he turned his head and scolded the old man Liu: "Stop smoking! Look! You smoked cigarettes all over the house and choked the baby!"

    When the two children came in, the old man Liu took one last sip, then stretched out his hand and used his thumb to directly press out the still burning tobacco in the mouthpiece, puffing out the cigarette with a smile. He said, "No smoking, no smoking, come on the kang!"

    Willow and Catkins took off their shoes and climbed onto the kang, and tucked their legs into the warm blankets. : "Honey, where are my aunt and my fourth uncle?"

    Liu Gao smiled and said: "Your aunt is in her house, you should come over when you hear your voice, your fourth uncle went out to carry firewood... By the way, your family has enough firewood. Is it?"

    "Enough! Last time, the fourth uncle carried a tree up from the ditch, enough for us to burn it until next February!"

    "What's the matter at home?" Liu Gao continued, "I've been busy these days, so I didn't go to see it."

      , My parents told me to pay it back first, and I will pay the rest when I have it next time."

    The old man Liu and Liu Gao were stunned together, staring at the silver for a while, before Liu Gao exclaimed in astonishment: "Where did you get the silver? It's still a whole ingot! "As he said that, he picked up the whole ingot of two taels of silver and looked at it.

    Liu Xuer told her about selling her hands to cover her children, and finally said: "Mom, you don't know, in fact, earlier, I made two cotton cloth hands to cover the child, which is with Moriko is wearing the same one on his hand, and the doctor who treated Moriko and my parents took a fancy to him, and gave me a tael of silver!"

    Liu Shu nodded hurriedly: "Yeah, even after paying back the money paid by Shi's uncle to see Moriko's doctor, there are only a few hundred wen left, but this time the money is more, my parents Said, the money from the father and the milk should be paid back quickly, so I asked Xu'er and I to send three taels of silver first."

    Liu old man and Liu Gao listened in a daze, they couldn't believe it, Liu Gao murmured: "Just the little hand that Senzi wears , can one sell for three taels of silver?!"

    The willow tree laughed, and the catkins nodded: "Yes! Isn't this already sold, or where did the money come from? Milk, my aunt came to teach me and my mother to do embroidery work. , don't you know? It's just made from the remaining good material cloth head she has left, and put it on rabbit hair. When it's done, you can't tell it's a cloth head, it's very delicate!" She touched her nose.

     Willow looked sideways at her and smiled.

    The old man Liu and Liu Gao were relieved, and the old man Liu happily rubbed Liu Xuer's hair: "This girl in my family is really capable! She can make a lot of money for her family at such a young age! clever!"

    Liu Gao also smiled and rubbed his hands: "Oh, this is true? This is great, now I will not worry about the family! Great..."

     Willow and Catkin looked at each other and stuck their tongues out.

    In the eyes of Liu Laohan and Liu Gao, they were happy and naughty. In fact, the two of them knew that neither of them wanted to talk about it, and now they spent almost all the money... It's too troublesome to explain, so I'd better wait for the milk to pass and ask my father and mother to explain it to her.

     Both giggled.

    Liu Hong heard the movement of the house and came in, saw the two people sitting on the kang, smiled and said: "Hey, why are you two here? I didn't say anything for so many days to see you Grandpa and your milk!"

    Liu Xuer immediately asked: "Little aunt, why don't you go out now? Don't say go to see your second brother and your second sister-in-law."

    Liu Hong's face turned red, she picked up the broom beside the kang and pretended to hit the catkins: "This girl can talk more and more! Auntie has to clean up for you today!"

    Liu Xuer was so frightened that she hid behind the old man Liu. Can only throw a smile: "Little girl is very ghost!"
