The Landlord And His Wife

    Liu Changshi sniffed himself and said, "I don't think it smells!"

    Liu Hongbai gave him a look and said, "I'll sew you out of your padded jacket at night, then wash it for you, put it on the stove and it will dry tomorrow."

    Liu Changshi is no longer uncommon, smiled and raised his face: "Hey, no need! Mother said to sew it for me, so that you won't delay embroidering your own dowry!"

    Before Liu Hong was about to be embarrassed again, Liu Changshi asked again: "By the way, what kind of flowers are embroidered on that handkerchief? It's weird and beautiful." He pointed to the quilt. Handkerchief set aside.

    Liu Hong glanced at it and said, "Biandilian."

    Liu Changshi laughed: "Sister, you are really amazing now! When did you learn all this? Do you understand everything?"

    Liu Hong’s face turned red, and she shouted shyly and angrily: “That was given to me by the second sister-in-law’s sister Ruyu! It was embroidered by her. Besides, whether it is Bing Tilian Or hibiscus flowers or something else. They all look like flowers. People who learn embroidery have to learn to embroider these things. What does this have to do with whether they understand or not? People who learn embroidery can embroider in any way! Nonsense!"

    Liu Changshi had a strange look on his face when he heard this. He didn't even raise a bar with his sister, he just said 'oh' and said to himself, "It's not your embroidery... "

    I thought about it and coughed again, pretending to be unintentional: "Do you want it? If you don't like the smell, just give it to me, I can wash it..."

    Liu Hong looked up at him strangely after hearing this: "Is it still possible? What else can you do? You, a big man, still need a handkerchief?"

    Liu Changshi's face was a little red, and he scratched his head: "I can wash it and sell it for two cents..."

    Liu Hong took a sip, stood up and pushed him out: "You go out! Such a good handkerchief, you sell it for two cents, I ask my mother to beat you two kang and brooms. real!"

    Liu Changshi was blasted out. When he went out, he looked a little reluctantly at the handkerchief on the edge of the kang, and regretted it in his heart.

    Sighing and standing in the yard for a while, then went to get the manure that had been covered for the apple tree a few years ago, and carried it with the manure basket placed in the corner of the pigsty, and came to the second brother's house side.

    The apple tree sapling was still alive under his meditative care.

    He came to the gate of the courtyard, shouted, "Tree?" and walked in.

     Mr. He walked out of the room with a limp and greeted with a smile: "His fourth uncle is here?"

    Liu Changshi nodded and smiled: "Yeah, the second brother is in the house? I'll go and put this dung under the apple sapling and come back again. What about the tree and willow?" asked Willow Willow .

    He smiled and said, "It's in the backyard! Their third uncle came, and they went to the backyard to look at the apple sapling."

    Liu Changshi stayed for a while, and immediately thought of whether another person was coming? As if specifically answering him, He Ruyu came out of the kitchen with a wooden tray in his hand. On the tray were several bowls and a pot. Seeing him, he smiled and said, "His fourth uncle is here? Enter the house. Let's do it." He probably smelled something strange, and looked at what Liu Changshi was holding in his hand.

    Liu Changshi was completely unprepared, his head made a 'hum', and the blood all over his body seemed to rush to the face, and he took three steps back and blushed. Standing at the door helplessly.

      Just as he was about to ask what was going on, Liu Changshi ran to the backyard as if he was running for his life, but before Mr. He could react, Liu Changshi came out of the backyard again, and hurriedly said: "I suddenly remembered something urgent, go back first. Second sister-in-law!"

    He stunned as he left, then turned around and entered the room.

    Liu Changgeng was sitting on the kang, and He Wenqing was sitting by the kang, all looking at her, Liu Changgeng asked: "Why? The fourth one came and left?"

    He also said in confusion: "It seems that I suddenly remembered something..."

    He Wenyu came in from outside, still turning his head to look at the door of the courtyard: "Where is your fourth child? Just arrived in the backyard, put down the dung basket, said hello, and left... Did you come here or leave? "

    Liu Changgeng explained: "It should be that I suddenly remembered something urgent, come back later."

    He Wenyu was taken aback.

    He said: "Okay, sit down and drink some water. If you don't drink water, go to see the apple sapling... How long does it take for that little thing to grow up?"

      The fruit can have three or five taels, and if it is good, there will be an income of twelve or eight taels!"

    He was taken aback: "Yo, is this true?!"

    "It's not true!" He Wenyu said: "When I was doing odd jobs at the Xigou Garden, there were a dozen or so apple trees in that garden, and I could make a hundred taels of income every year. …”

    He was startled and said: "Yo! That's a fortune? Isn't the fruit growing every year? You don't have to worry about anything..."

    Liu Changgeng laughed when she heard this, and planned to her: "You can rest for a while! You don't understand anything, the apple tree is very delicate, but you have to take good care of it, and you can't fill in half of the money for a year? Yes? Why don't you ask for odd jobs? How can Wen Yu go?"

    He Wenyu nodded: "Yes, it's troublesome to serve."

    He stopped talking, but paid more attention to the apple sapling in the backyard.

    He Wenqing saw that they had finished talking about the apple sapling, and then went on to the topic just now: "My eldest sister injured her foot, and she didn't go back this second day of the new year. My mother really wanted to come and see, but she was too busy for the new year. I was on the ground, I originally asked us to come over a few days earlier, but you were busy and I was also busy, and it has been delayed until now... My sister's feet are much better, and my brother-in-law looks much better. Mom and Dad said, Mom and Dad should rest assured."

    Liu Changgeng nodded again and again: "Yes, please rest assured my husband and mother-in-law! When we are all healed, the whole family will go there. This foot hurts and delays a lot of things, so I call my husband. My mother-in-law is also worried."

    "What's the matter." He Wenyu said, and took a sip of the water in the bowl.

    He took out the one tael of silver that he planned to return to them last time: "This is one tael of silver, pay it back first, and the remaining money will be given to you next time. "He said and handed it to He Wenqing.

    He Wenqing pushed out in surprise: "Big sister, what are you doing? That money...is for you to see a doctor! You don't need to pay it back!"

    He Wenyu also hurriedly helped push the money out: "Yeah, I said that I don't need to pay it back, and no one asked you to pay it back. Why are you and your brother-in-law like this?!"

     Pushing to and fro, Liu Changgeng also shouted to hold, leaning over and stuffing the silver into He Wenqing's hand. He pretended to be annoyed, and pushed **** He Wenqing: "If you ask you to take it, take it! How can you not pay it back? The brothers are still paying the bill! Besides, we only pay the bill when we have money, no? Borrow it, don't worry!"

    Speaking of Liu Xuer selling her hands and covering her children, she said, "I still have money in my hand now! Don't worry."

    He Wenqing, He Wenyu and He Ruyu were all surprised, He Ruyu said: "I didn't expect us to be so lucky! That hand cover is worn by Mori? Thank you for being able to imagine it. Come out, what a smart kid." Of course she understood, because her handkerchiefs were also gadgets that made a lot of money.

    He just nodded with a smile, and pointed to the things that were still being made on the kang: "This is the work she assigned us! If you plan to do it well, just Do these handicrafts for sale!" He said and pulled up He Ruyu: "By the way, go and see, she also embroidered handkerchiefs, how about you?"

    He dragged He Ruyu to Liu Xuer's side. In this house, He Wenqing, He Wenyu and Liu Changgeng sighed together, why is farming better than these little things to make money?

    Liu Changgeng said, "Fortunately, some people also embroider and embroider insoles, but they don't see how much money they make. It's just a coincidence."

    The other two nodded.

    He dragged He Ruyu to Liu Xuer's house, because Liu Xuer and Liushu Liulin were all in the backyard, and there was no one in her house, but the kang was made of various objects. They are also neatly arranged in different categories. The kang horns are next to each other with sashes, knots, handkerchiefs, then a pile of calves and ponies hooked with silk threads, and the other piles are hung with tassels or small knots. Some of Xiao Yingluo's gadgets are wooden fish and wooden mallets.

    He Ruyu opened her eyes wide.

    Liu Xuer put all the small boxes her father made for her on the head of the kang, He went to open them one by one, and put them in front of He Ruyu: "Look, there are still these! This box... oh, it's rabbit fur..."

      I thought that Xiao Xuer had to keep rabbits for fun.

    He didn't think there was anything unusual about rabbit fur, nodded, and opened the other two boxes to show her: "There are four foreheads and four hands to cover, and the other What's in this box is a sachet and purse... Look, can you tell which one I made? See how different my craftsmanship is from my Xuer?"

    He asked with a smile.

      Tzu found out: "How many?"

    He opened his eyes wide and said in surprise: "Oh, your eyesight is amazing! How can you all be so capable at such a young age?!"

    He Ruyu smiled, but did not explain, but took out the sachet and purse made by Liu Xuer, looked at the embroidered handkerchiefs for a while, and kept saying, "Xu'er Really capable, this craft is already very good! This Yingluo...I learned from Shicheng Niang? What a coincidence! Big sister, look, such a sachet, with such a tassel, I have seen it on the housekeeper, she wears it I got one, and said it was rewarded by the young lady, I like it very much!"
