Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11492

Soon, Liu put on the new clothes made by Juer. Seeing her brand new self in the bronze mirror, Liu was extremely satisfied. She pulled here and there, and the corners of her mouth were so happy that she couldn't suppress it.

The third girl held her chin up, looked at it for a while, and said, "No wonder I always felt that something was missing from the way mother was dressed. Now I remember."

She stood up and took out an exquisite wooden box from her body as if by magic. When she opened the box, she found a pair of gold bracelets carved with peonies.

The third girl gave the pair of gold bracelets to Liu and asked her to put them on her wrists. "Now it's complete."

Liu raised her hands and looked at the pair of gold bracelets, with little stars in her eyes.

She had never worn such precious gold jewelry in her life!

To make this pair of gold bracelets, one must melt at least three gold bars as thick as one’s middle fingers, and that may not be successful!

Because this gold bracelet is inlaid with peony flowers, and every petal is made of real gold!

Liu was immersed in great happiness and couldn't extricate herself.

Juer, who was standing by, was shocked when she saw the gift given by San Yatou, and she admired and praised San Yatou.

At the same time, there was a strange feeling in my heart.

So, while she praised the beauty and value of the pair of gold bracelets, she also laughed at herself: "Hey, compared with Third Sister's gold bracelets, my clothes are worthless. But I have already given them away, there is no reason to ask for them back. Mom, please don't despise them, just wear them..."

When the third girl heard Juer's words, she knew that her second sister was overthinking it.

She quickly said, "Second sister, you are totally wrong."

"We are all my mother's daughters. When we give something to my mother, it should be expressed with consideration."

"Compared to the clothes that my second sister tailored for mother, the gold and silver that I gave out out of laziness is not as good as yours!"

Juer smiled. Although what the third sister said was correct, but whether the thought was more important or money was more appealing, it all depended on what her mother thought.

However, based on her past understanding of her mother, Juer felt that she must prefer the gold bracelet given by her third sister...

Oh, if I had known that my third sister had prepared such an expensive gift today, I shouldn't have brought this set of clothes back. I should have also prepared a gold necklace or something for my mother...

But... if mother wanted to compare the gifts given by the two sisters, then the gold necklace I gave is definitely not as precious and valuable as the gold bracelet given by my third sister. My third sister's family is better off than mine. My third brother-in-law is capable and eats government food. My third sister and her husband have property and farms in the county. Although our Chen Biao is the manager of a restaurant in the county, the money he earns is very lucrative in the eyes of ordinary people.

However, he is the only one who earns money to support the whole family. His eldest son has entered the best private school in the county. His mother-in-law is not in good health, and he has to spend a sum of money every year to buy medicine and supplements for her to maintain her health.

She and Chen Biao would use part of their saved money to support their family, and use the other part to buy a house in the county town for the whole family to live in, thus truly settling down in the city.

So, even if she bought a gold necklace for her mother, she wouldn't be that generous, so she must have been very picky...

The more Juer thought about it, the more upset she felt. She felt lost, frustrated, and ashamed, and her face became gloomy. She even worried that her mother would scold her, thinking that her gift was not valuable and that she was not filial enough...

"Second sister..." The third girl noticed Juer's mood change and was about to speak, but Liu, who had been immersed in a brand new world in front of the bronze mirror, turned around.

She touched the new clothes that fit her body tightly and sighed softly.

Then, she took out a wooden comb from her pocket and said to Ju'er and San Yatou, "Take a look at this wooden comb."

Juer and San Yatou looked at each other, neither quite understanding what Liu meant.

But the two of them still obediently came to Liu, took the wooden comb and looked at it carefully. Juer said: "This wooden comb looks brand new, but it is very, very ordinary, and the workmanship can even be called a bit poor. The teeth of these combs are uneven, and some are long, some are broken, and some are thick and some are thin. It is far less useful than the combs sold at grocery stores for ten cents a piece."

The third girl nodded secretly and agreed with Juer's evaluation.

Even when the sisters were young and their parents didn't care about them, the combs they used were better than this one.

As for now that they have started a family, there is no need to mention the combs they use. Combs and mirrors are the two most important items in a woman's dressing box and they are very particular.

A good comb can comb your hair very neatly and make the bun look very smooth.

The comb used by San Yatou is a sandalwood comb with a faint fragrance. It not only adds to her feminine charm, but also can drive away things like lice.

San Yatou knew that the comb used by Sister Qing'er was more particular. It was a specially made ivory-white comb. Every time she combed her hair, it was a health massage for her scalp...

"Mom, where did you get this comb? Throw it away, or you'll scratch your scalp!" Juer said again.

Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "This comb really hurts my scalp and will tear my hair. I will definitely use the comb I usually use to comb my hair!"

"That's good. Then let me help you throw away this crude comb?" Juer said again.

Juer reached out to take the comb in the third girl's hand, but was snatched away by Liu.

Liu protected the comb in her hand like a precious treasure, "You can't throw it away, I have to keep this comb. It was made for me by your eldest sister. It's rare that she has such a thoughtfulness. Let alone a comb, even if it's a piece of dogtail grass, it's a gift from my eldest daughter. I have to save it and keep it. No one can throw it away!"

Juer's outstretched hand froze there, and she stared at Liu in disbelief with her eyes wide open.

I absolutely can't believe these words came out of my mother's mouth!

The third girl's eyes rolled and she immediately realized Liu's intention.

She laughed and said, "After all this time, it turns out that our mother was showing off in front of me and my second sister!"

"Okay, okay, you can keep the comb. Hey, compared with my elder sister's comb, my gold bracelet is nothing to look at!"

Juer was no longer embarrassed at this time. Her heart was filled with shock and relief, and even a sense of accomplishment and pride.

Even this crude comb made by my eldest sister was treasured by my mother, let alone the new clothes she made herself?

Moreover, although mother had not mentioned a word before which gift she liked better, her or her third sister's, she told them the answer using the wooden comb given by her eldest sister.

The answer is: as long as the gifts are sent by their sisters, no matter how valuable they are, the mother treats them equally and regards them as treasures!

that's enough!

Night falls.

The two sisters changed their clothes and went to cook, while Liu went to other rooms and invited Sun, Bao Suyun and others to come over for dinner in the evening.

Yang Huaming was responsible for entertaining the men.

Blacksmith Luo was once again "dragged" by Yang Huaming to the old house for dinner. As for Wang Cuilian and the children, they were too lazy to come out at night, and Liu did not force them.

That night, lanterns were hung in the yard of the old house with four rooms, and the house was brightly lit, filled with laughter.

Thank you all for accompanying me year after year. I have become accustomed to writing this book and I am reluctant to finish it, but in the next two years, perhaps, I may consider moving towards the direction of finishing it. Thank you very much for your company over the years. The Year of the Snake is here. I wish you all the best in the new year!
