Nongmen splendid, the master craftsman is three and a half years old

Chapter 16

Li's hand holding the scissors obviously felt the obstruction, but there was no sound of objects colliding. The skirt was driven by the downward airflow, and the calf clearly felt the approach of an object, but apart from the blown airflow hitting the cortex, The scissors cannot get close to the body.

Mrs. Li looked at the scissors in her right hand in surprise, and used more strength in one go, watching the scissors cut towards her calf.

Yes!

The scissors had already touched the sarong, and the hairs stood on end, but they couldn't move any further.

With trembling hands, Li put down the scissors, wiped the sweat from his palms, took off the bracelet and put it in his palms. Excited, he clenched his hands, and bowed reverently to the sky outside the window to thank all the gods and Buddhas he knew well.

Manman carefully held the cup in both hands, pushed back against the bamboo curtain, and watched Li with her eyes closed, muttering reverently, as if she was talking about something, "The Jade Emperor, Yuanshi Tianzun, Songzi Niangniang, Father of the Land."

The little face looked at his mother worriedly. Usually, my mother was worried about her father, and now she started to worship gods and Buddhas. It seemed that her heart was getting weaker and weaker.

In fact, Manman was only two years old when Yu Changsi left. It is impossible to say that he missed him so much. The main reason was from Wang's constant nagging, and his mother was often absent-minded and red-eyed for no reason, so it also affected her. Manman's impression of Father is growing instead.

Cautiously called out, "Aniang, drink water."

Mrs. Li turned her head and saw her daughter, with a wrinkled face like a little old woman, and burst out laughing, "Oh, this chubby little face is almost turning into a steamed stuffed bun."

Manman saw Li's happy face, and she was still in the mood to tease herself and couldn't help but feel relieved, "What are you doing, Aunt?"

"Hush." ​​Li put her finger in front of her mouth, signaling Manman not to talk nonsense, in order not to offend all gods and Buddhas.

"Aniang just kowtowed to God for giving us Manman such a precious gift, Aniang has already tried it!"

"In two days, when A Niang is going to deliver the embroidery, she will find out if there is a caravan heading to Los Angeles, and help send two pairs of shoes there. When I change the shoes, I will sew this bracelet into it."

Manman put the water glass on the table by the window, and happily took his mother's right hand, "Mother, this bracelet can really resist swords, right?"

Mrs. Li nodded, "Yes, it didn't hurt at all, so I say it's a gift from heaven."

Bending down to look at Man Man, he asked in a low voice, "Who else knows about this bracelet except A Niang?"

"There is still Dafu." Manman wanted to talk about Dafu, but suddenly realized that the existence of Dafu should not be told to the local aborigines, and her brains turned sharply, "There is also a big friend who gave me the bracelet."

"Okay!" Li Shi solemnly urged, "From now on, you don't want to tell anyone about the bracelet, not even grandpa and grandma, you know?"

"If that friend of yours comes back to ask you to return the bracelet, you tell Aniang, and Aniang explains to him that when your father comes back safely, we will give you a great gift and return it to the original owner."

Manman smiled and shook her head, "Don't worry, Mommy, she won't take it back, she has a lot of defensive equipment over there~"

"That's good, but even if it's precious to your friend, even if it's a weed, but it helps us, we have to thank him, you know?"

"Well, I will give her something in the future."

Mrs. Li looked at the little girl with a straight head, hugged her in her arms and followed her back, "Good boy."

Maoshi the next day.

Mrs. Wang chattered around Mrs. Li, "Yu Niang, have you finished your embroidery work?"

"Remember to wrap two more layers of oiled paper. It will be foggy this season, and it will be very moist when the delivery is made."

"Your father won't go today. A woman's family must be safe and stay with the villagers. Don't wait for them to come back together. If you are hungry, buy some food in the prefecture and county, and come back by bullock cart."

He stopped checking his hand on the back basket, and looked back at Li Shi's flawless face, "Don't go on the road with someone you don't know, do you know?"

Li looked at her mother-in-law who was busy working for her before dawn, with a smile on her face. Although she was nagging, she knew that it was her mother-in-law who cared for her.

Smiling helplessly, "Mom~ I already know. It's not the first time I've been to the prefecture. I'm familiar with the people in the village now. When the time comes, I'll see who comes back first and I'll go with them. Don't worry."

"It's good to know each other. When Chang Si was here, he would accompany you to deliver embroidery, so I don't worry!"

Wang suddenly mentioned her son in a hurry, fearing that it would bring up Yuniang's memories and make her sad, so she quickly changed the subject, "Forget it, I'm just talking about it, hold Li's hand, don't argue with mother, mother When I get older, I like to talk about it.

"When you get the embroidered money later, remember to buy more snacks for Manman. I think she is very hungry recently. Keep some snacks at home. When you are hungry, you can also pad your stomach."

Mrs. Li shook her head and nodded again, "Hey, I know. Mom, I'm leaving first, and you can go back to the room and lie down." After speaking, Mrs. Li turned to the room to look at her daughter, and gently traced it with her fingers. He lowered his eyebrows and tucked the corners of the quilt.

After exiting, she looked at Mrs. Wang carrying two hot eggs and putting them in the bamboo basket, "Mother, I've already eaten breakfast, you can keep them."

Wang's hands didn't stop, "Little lazy pig woke up?"

"No, I'm sleeping soundly."

Mrs. Wang helped to carry the basket and brought it to the yard, "Then you should leave quickly. Although you are not in a hurry to deliver the goods, the owner is not happy if it is too late."

Stretching his neck and calling the grandson next door, "Tiesong~"

Yu Tiesong watched Li Shi come out carrying something on his back, and enthusiastically picked it up, "Hey, grandma, fifth aunt, I'm here, this is the basket, right? I'll carry it, let's go, fifth aunt."

Wang Shi Xiaobu followed beside her, chattering as she walked, "Tiesong, you are now a father, and it is your responsibility to take care of the women of Lao Yu's family when you go out, you know that!"

"You're not allowed to run around today, follow your fifth aunt, don't you know?"

Yu Tiesong had the same temper as his father, and was impatient with Wang's nagging, but he was still a filial child, and Wang nodded at everything he said.

Seeing the young man who nodded perfunctorily, Mrs. Wang took it for granted, and followed the two of them along the path to the entrance of the village. Seeing Mrs. Li getting into the ox cart, he repeated his words, greeted the people in the same car, and watched the ox cart move. I'm relieved to go back.

Seeing this, Yu Cuicui, the big fat woman next to her, said bitterly: "Oh, sister Li Yu, how can your mother-in-law be so gentle and considerate to you."

A pair of cloudy eyes looked at the bamboo basket, "This is another embroidery gift, you can make a lot of money with this one, right?"

Before he finished speaking, he stretched out his black and yellow rough hand, trying to open the lid of the bamboo basket to have a look. "

Mrs. Li stretched her arm over the cover, just in time to stabilize her swaying body, and took the opportunity to prevent Yu Cuicui from succeeding, "I'm sorry, Sister Ha Cui, this bullock cart has no shed and people are wobbly when walking around. I can't open it with my body supported. show you."

"If you are curious, I will go directly to Lichun Cloth Shop with me later. It just so happens that your little Dan is about to get old, and you can go to embroider samples to make clothes."

Yu Cuicui can only be arrogant in the village, and she must be honest when she goes out. She usually buys some cloth from the cloth stalls or shops in the West Market, and has never been to any of the bright and beautiful shops in the north.
