After the house was confiscated, I relied on billions of dollars in supplies to become a group favor

When Aunt Zong accompanied Ruan He into the inner room, she saw Mrs. Mutai lying next to a table, holding a rag and carefully wiping the already clean table top again.

"Grandma!" Ruan He shouted loudly, and Mrs. Mutai responded. She put the rag in her hand aside, turned her head with a smile, and cast her kind eyes on her. Come on.

Mrs. Mutai washed her hands with clean well water nearby, waved the water drops in her hands, and asked cheerfully: "Why did Xiaohe come here so early today? Doesn't the shop need to be busy? "

While speaking, Mrs. Mutai had already greeted Aunt Zong, went to the stove and brought the hot steamed buns over to fill Ruan He's belly. She held her precious granddaughter-in-law's hand affectionately and exchanged greetings for a while: " Xiaohe eats something when he is hungry. The New Year is coming and the day is getting colder and colder. Look at you kid, your hands are cold. Take a sip of hot tea to warm yourself up."

"I've eaten it, grandma." Faced with Mrs. Mutai's concern, Ruan He naturally took the old man's hand affectionately, picked up the scalding hot tea on the side, and held it in his hand to warm his own. Cold hands.

After warming up for a moment, under Mrs. Mutai's kind eyes, Ruan He picked up the cup of hot tea, lowered his head, took a sip, let the fragrant warm tea moisten his lips, and followed it Warmth surged from the throat to the whole body, filling the whole body.

Not only Mrs. Mutai was confused, but Aunt Zong, who was busy around, also came forward and asked in confusion: "Young lady, why did you come here so early today?"

They all thought that Ruan He would have to watch that store today as usual. After all, the store's business was good every day and someone needed to watch it all the time.

Facing the two people's inquiries, Ruan He took another sip of tea, and then explained slowly with a smile: "Grandma, I closed the shop today and went out to buy a batch of fabrics and some new year's goods. It’s still in the shop now.”

Mrs. Mutai couldn't bear to see the younger members of her family not eating. She took a smaller steamed bun from the table, wrapped it in paper and handed it over. After hearing Ruan He's explanation, she asked blankly: "Fabric? Xiaohe, what do you want the cloth for? Do you want to cut your own clothes?"

"Perhaps the New Year is coming soon, and the eldest young lady wants to make new clothes for everyone?" Aunt Zong is a smart person. From Ruan He's words, she immediately understood and expressed her guess.

Ruan He nodded slightly and responded. Then he remembered something and chuckled. He shook his head silently and looked at Aunt Zong intently. Chad asked: "Aunt Zong, do you know how to use cloth?" Do you want to make clothes? I don’t know how. I couldn’t do anything about the fabric after I bought it. If I hadn’t wandered around the street for a while and couldn’t find suitable clothes to buy, I wouldn’t have just bought a few pieces of fabric. .”

"Of course I will." Aunt Zong was taken aback for a moment, nodded in agreement, and while wiping the pillars beside her with a rag, she said: "My eldest mistress, are you planning to let me make a set of clothes for the whole family? ? My work as a female worker is just mediocre, not comparable to the big tailors outside, so I can only do my best." "Xiaohe, don't listen to your Aunt Zong's lies. Her tailoring skills were inferior to those of the entire Hou Mansion back then. No one can compare with her. The first year after she came out of the house, it happened to be a cold winter that had not been seen in many years. It was very cold. She made me a coat, which was both comfortable and beautiful. When I wore it out, it looked like a coat. Many female members of noble families are asking which tailor’s craftsmanship comes from..."

When Aunt Zong married into the Marquis's house, she was from a humble background and was not very favored. Compared with Mrs. Zhang's natal family, who was married to Xu Xian, Aunt Bai was soft and charming and used to please the Marquis. Aunt Zong It can be said that he is the person with the weakest presence in the back room of the big house.She is honest and timid, but she is also a smart person. Her superb tailoring skills have attracted the attention of Mrs. Mutai, so that she can survive in the Hou Mansion with her daughter without incurring the trap of the other two ladies. They are trapped in a quagmire of competition for favor.

Mrs. Mutai covered her mouth and smiled cheerfully, her words of praise never stopped. She also knew that this aunt had an honest and exquisite heart, and she had actually helped her secretly, so as not to Let her be suppressed excessively by Aunt Bai and the First Lady.

Her straightforward praise made the honest and reserved Aunt Zong lower her eyes unconsciously, with a hint of blush on her face. She humbly said in a low voice with some embarrassment: "Mrs., you are speaking harshly, I am just How can you make a piece of clothing casually compared to a tailor outside..."

From Mrs. Mutai's unsparing praise, Ruan He probably knew that Aunt Zong's tailoring skills must be quite good. After all, her grandmother was never a person who talked empty words. She looked at Aunt Zong and asked sincerely. : "Aunt Zong, would it be too hard for you to make a set of clothes for the whole family?"

Hearing Ruan He's inquiry, Aunt Zong nodded in response, with a gentle smile on her lips, and responded: "No, I happen to be free and can do it at any time, but the whole family can do it." For a set of clothes, it may take a while, but it should be ready before the New Year.”

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you. From now on, you only need to make clothes properly every day. You don't have to make a special trip to the county to help me clean the house."

Mrs. Mutai smiled kindly, put a pair of clean hands on Aunt Zong's arm, greeted her familiarly, and completely settled the matter.

"Mrs. Tai... Actually, I... can come over to help during the day..." In such a large house, only Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Zhang's mother and daughter come to clean it on weekdays. Aunt Zong is not comfortable sitting at home.

Before Aunt Zong could finish her words, she was interrupted by Mrs. Mutai, who said in a slightly tougher tone: "Just make your clothes at home. Don't bother to come over. You can't ride in the carriage." , it’s too much for my body and bones to come here all the way.”

Mrs. Mutai was usually taciturn and would not say too many irrelevant words to the juniors. In fact, she remembered everyone's temperament and habits clearly. Naturally, she always remembered that Aunt Zong could not ride in the carriage. She would feel dizzy and unwell. She also felt sorry for Aunt Zong and was not willing to let her run back and forth frequently. (End of chapter)
